      Yeah he's definitely rough around the edges when he tries to sing high notes. It's not that he can't hit the high notes, it's just that he doesn't hit them consistently and the distortion effects can exaggerate the sound of missed note. That and he was probably high as fuck.

    • @11cylynt11
      @11cylynt11 Рік тому

      WOW, consider yourself lucky to have seen a TMV encore. They only did encores in their very early touring days. But the way you described it doesn't sound like a traditional encore where the whole band leaves the stage, waits like 5 min, then comes back. Plus, encores are usually around 10 mins of music, 1-3 songs. Not 45mins like you got.
      I wonder if those extra 45min were just part of their planned regular setlist? And they were just tunning/preparing for the next 45min? They're known for playing long shows. A lot of their songs are longer than 10mins. And when they play them, they often extend solos, making those songs even longer. Seen them live 5 times, all those shows lasted around 2½ hours (actual playing time) at least. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Tell me it's over
    Rusbel awaits
    I've been to the surface
    And nothing is there
    Eyelids sank muffled
    In the nerve aura sound
    But when she awakes
    Will she still be with us
    My heart is darkclots
    Leap year is late
    How did you get here
    Ask all but the bait
    From a christ that went hissing
    Constricting his cells
    We summon by candle by book and by bell
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    The sermon goes mourning
    Pricking it's hail
    Slothful the child
    That preys on the seed
    Shall behead the drough
    Wound under sleeves
    I hope you have room
    In a thicket of vines
    Give me a moment
    To clean what you've stole
    The streets will hang high
    Stretch ribs and let taste
    We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate
    Mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Then so long
    Dear mnemonic
    Assume the form
    You've given me and I'll spill
    Now hold on
    Just hold my hand
    Say that they made you
    But you brought your own leash
    Tell me no more no
    Say I'm the last one
    Outside
    By the drift
    You read my will
    Of thread and itch
    Failure to comply
    As failure to decease
    And still you won't know everything
    I've built the fall
    Sulking drained the fall of my pale will
    Swarming by your steps
    Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts
    It only meant to drape a plastic
    Over the stuck pig scalp of head
    To cover the sock where the flatline had spread
    The kiosk in my temporal lobe
    Is shaped like rosalyn carter
    She says my map is home again
    But torn face down
    I have only but a million blemishes
    To tell you all about
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    Gas me the hind
    Of your five legged snare
    Tooth picks the eye
    But no things there
    Down drags your waltz
    Cross the alter top
    From a sleep that
    Depravation knew
    Trespass your form
    I'm void of dusk
    I'd ask to look
    But the mask stays on
    You'll levitate
    Teutonic print
    Cruelty is the wrath
    Of my instrument
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    You locked the cuffs
    Arsenic erupts
    Will you drink the shadow
    Of my red hair
    You and your false
    Witness to God
    You've one in the chamber
    But your finger got stuck
    Let slip the sound
    Of a cry for help
    But all was lost
    On the night you walked
    Palms speak through eyes
    Serve your memory lost
    I contaminate with insignias
    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Wait till it get my hands on you
    I won't forget a face that left me
    Just you wait
    Till I get my hands on you
    I can't
    You won't remember
    Unwrap my corpse
    And let it thaw
    In the eye of the needle
    I can't get out
    They'll check my wrist
    I'll faint a pulse
    I'm not the human
    You thought I was
    If you pet the night
    Sixth pentacle dice
    If you roll the seven
    St. michael dies
    They'll be no ransom
    Don't shut my mouth
    I scald the answer
    You're afraid of

  • @RafuRodriguez
    @RafuRodriguez Рік тому +5

    This song is easily in top 5 of At The Drive In/The Mars Volta songs, the virtuosity of everyone in the band to shape the unique sound that the song has, the insane melody that gradually sinks you into nostalgic darkness and then explodes with euphoria and makes you dance like never before. It is simply brilliant.

    • @asrai1024
      @asrai1024 5 років тому +13

      "Anyone can do that". You're so wrong. Maybe lots of people think they can do it, but finding the right words that will, the words of the late Mark E Smith "put a chill up the spine" is ridiculously difficult. Just from this song alone, the list of great lines is massive.
      "Eyelids sank muffled in the nerve aura sound"
      "We summon by candle by book and by bell"
      "Glossolalia coats my skin
      Glycerin and turbulence"
      "The sermon goes mourning"
      "We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate"
      "Outside by the drift
      You read my will of thread and itch"
      "The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalyn Carter"
      "Gas me the hind of your five legged snare
      Tooth picks the eye but nothing's there"
      "I'd ask to look but the mask stays on"
      "I contaminate with insignias"
      Each of those lines is great for different reasons. A lot of them have no real meaning as far as I can tell, they're just collections of words that sound good together, but you just try writing something like that.

I sat in my balcony chair, and just watched them in amazement, frozen in place. One guy tried to tell us all to get up and dance, but none of us listened, we were mesmerized by sheer talent and artistry. One of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band does not care if you are dancing, they are performing and we are there to listen.

    I hate hate hate the way Thomas Prigeon takes a song like this that's so delicately balanced and smears the Bedlam in Goliath drum approach all over it. Granted Octahedron hadn't come out yet, but that's the record where TP really shows that he's capable of arranging drums that work for the song, which is what everyone misses about how Jon Theodore played these old songs. And what's worse is it's not even his fault, Omar told him to play that way until Octahedron when he decided all the instruments needed to take a more straight forward approach.

Why would you want someone to hold themselves back in such a way when you would never have had such unique experiences as those album without the members of the band doing what they do best? all of them. shame on you.
