You are correct, sir.

woo hoo the mars volta! now thats some good stuff :smug:

ah yeh, i just got some of their demo's...they're pretty funky

Didn't like them at all when I heard them for the first time. Might be getting into them more now. I kinda like that one song, but I forgot the name. :embarrased:

stuff I've heard sounds brilliant :D

The Mars Volta - Televators

 

*sighs*

 

This song is too beautiful for words.

 

Just as he hit

The ground

They lowered a tow that

Stuck in his neck to the gills

Fragments of sobiquets

riddle me this

three half eaten corneas

who hit the area

Stalk the ground

Stalk the ground

You should have seen

The curse that flew right by you

Page of concrete

Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway

Autodafe

A capulary hint of red

Only this manupod

Crescent in shape has escaped

The house half the way

Fell empty with teeth

That split both his lips

Mark these words

One day this chalk outline will circle this city

Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face

A room colored charlatan

Hid in a safe

Stalk the ground

Stalk the ground

You should have seen

The curse that flew right by you

Page of concrete

Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway

Autodafe

A capulary hint of red

Only this manupod

Crescent in shape

Has escaped

Pull the pins

Save your grace

Mark these words

On his grave

You should have seen

The curse that flew right by you

Page of concrete

Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway

Autodafe

A capulary hint of red

Everyone knows the last toes are

Always the coldest to go

i've got to say, i'm a fan of that song, but i think i'm starting to lose interest in the album as a whole.

 

but yeah, good song. :D

I just got a hold of the album the other day, and i must say this song is one of my favorites on there ;)

I love this song :)

The Mars Volta

 

After searching as far back as January I can't find a single thread about this band. The Mars Volta are one of the greatest new bands. I shouldn't say new since they pulled a phoenix out of At The Drive-In. Still the band's only 3 years old.

 

Their newest album, Frances the Mute is one of the best prog rock albums I've heard in years. Certainly the best since I heard Yes' greatest hits album YesYears. It's a mix of Pink Floyd-esque song transitions, Yes, vocals that can only be compared to Robert Plant, and drumming that could give John Bonham a run for his money.

 

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is a rising guitar player and with a bit of help from John Frusciante (of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame) on L'Via L'Viaquez's solos the guitaring is unstoppable. The drumming by Jon Theodore is another brilliant part of the album. It's just what drives the music on.

 

Then there's Cassandra Gemini. A 30 minute mammoth of a song that goes through so many phases it's hard to tell that it's the same song. In conclusion, I do realize I've composed a little love note to them, but this is by far my favorite album. Now, favorite albums don't come easilly to me. In fact I've only had 3 since 1997. Radiohead's OK Computer and then Kid A and now The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute.

Look harder next time::

That thread is two years old. I'm not going back that far. It's obvious that they needed a new thread. And anyways, think about it: How many Oasis threads have been made? Yeah, that's what I thought.

*brings back the mars volta thread*

 

i'd have to say Roulette Dares is my favorite song. aren't they coming out with a new album? and i totally think they make up words in their lyrics.

They just came out with a new album. Read my thread that I posted before you revived this one.

i have 12332 more posts than you, all revive what i please.

The amount of posts that you have has no correlation with your general intelligence. Also, my original post that I made had no intention of seeming like an attack. I was just stating the fact that you revived a year and a half old thread directly after I posted one on the same subject. The question in your post was also answered in the thread I made.

I will be the first to tell you that I HATE when there are threads made about the same topic over and over, I am the Nazi of that on this board, most people do not care.. and will continue to pollute the board with excessive threads.

 

It doesn't matter how old the thread was, what matters is when you SEARCH for this topic, the other thread does show up.

Funny that the owner of this thread made one post and then disappeared.

 

And yes... number of posts are no way correlated with intelligence. ;)

I did search the topic. However I'm a newbie to phpBB. I'm used to the search function of vBulletin (which I've been frequenting for about 4 years now). So the way I searched there were 4 pages of results and I was far too lazy to go through all of them. The results on the first page were all "What are you listening to" or the like so I assumed there were no recent threads. On the boards I moderate it's generally accepted that you make a new thread instead of thread necromancy. ;)

Which boards do you moderate?

whatever happened to richard? i miss that old dog.

FFRepublic (now dead, had 6,000 members, super moderator)

Last|[OCP] (I just quit as co-webmaster about a week ago)

FFImpulse (Currently I'm an administrator)

City of Final Fantasy (webmaster before I shut them down)

FFDistrict (super moderator, also shut down)

 

And a couple others I'm far too lazy to remember. As you can see most of the sites are gone now. My staffing days are pretty much gone. I'm far too busy with social life and web design these days. And no, I'm not a Final Fantasy fan. I just always end up posting at Final Fantasy forums.

 

Wow. This got off topic.

is this a thread feud?

...

 

anyway back to how tmv made up the word "intertiatic"

 

i dig them anyway.

Not that I'm aware of. I can care less which thread is posted in more. In fact I think that a moderator should merge the two threads. Assuming of course that that's an option in phpBB.
