I live in El Paso (Omar and Cedric's hometown) and Dr.Rodriguez's (Omar's Dads) house burned down, their studio flooded, and Omar's mom had a stroke. This all occurred within weeks of each other. Rumor has it they believe it was due to the spirits from the Ouija board, the spirits started becoming malicious and caused these events to occur. Btw, Omar's mom died two weeks ago. I know Omar's dad, and I was fortunate enough to see them in At the Drive In last Thursday in our hometown. :)
I’m still really skeptical though. If Cedric and Omar know that this spirit is capable of ruining lives, why in the world would they release this album to the world (bringing all who listen to it into the curse) and even going as far as to replicate the board and tell their fans to play with it? Or do they just not care about cursing their fans?
That specific microphone doesn't do anything special, it just sounds very good and very clear. It's called a Sennheiser MD 421-II and it's a dynamic microphone, like most standard stage mics. However, unlike most stage mics, it costs about $400 and it's designed for mainy studio use. So, it's built with a higher quality which better captures Cedric's voice.
Goliath was such a powerful album for them. And the whole studio flooding and crazyness with the ouji board and all that...in. Hindsight i think that alot of what the albums about seems to be kind of...exagerated but iremember in that year thinking woah this is some scary shit..ithink thats what made it so powerful, for a moment u believed in monsters again
The first dude Paul has some deep shit knowledge. He was basically asking them if they were (are) satanist, cause the dark and obscure references in their lyrics (Samael, baphomets, ouija, devil references, etc) and the stressful music. Cedric answered pretty well actually, he caught the depth of her question but answered superficially. At first Omar seemed a little nervous and couldn't look at Paul and looked at Cedric in some "ditch this" way. For connoisseurs it was a very good question
I think the question would've been more auspicious had he asked it before bedlam was promoted and released. It's only inevitable they'd give (seemingly) vaguely cryptic responses to (seemingly) vaguely cryptic questions when they're touring an album literally about evil magic.
1:26 Gentlemen, my name is Matt, and I'm going to spend the next thirty seconds staring like a psycho and making unsettling hand gestures that will haunt you for the rest of the day
1:35 i was skeptical at first, but now i know 100% that the whole goliath story, the destruction of equipment the people that left, was all a cover up for a marketing stunt, this confirms it. Doesent mean that that terrible stuff didint happen, but it means that the story behind it isint true. And happened for other reasons. Explains why almost nobody knew about the ouja board other than a very small group of people. The story was a marketing stunt. And theres nothing wrong woth that. As long as they agnowlage it as such.
Did anyone see the vulcan hand gesture Cedric made at the last dude? Was that like an insult on his appearance for looking like a Star Trek fan...or like a "Dude I know you're an alien too," kind of thing? Dave looked really nervous made me laugh when Cedric messed with him. He should have answered "Hello Cedric" in a deep voice I think that would have threw them off.....or it would have been challenging Cedric to deep trollish voice battle. That'd be awesome.
@@keaton223 i would have to disagree with that man , I love Omar and Cedric but it’s unfortunate that they never include the rest of the members for interviews or pictures because even though they are the main dudes , The Mars Volta would not sound the same without any of the other members , every member adds something to the sound of the band. I mean just think of Ikey , Juan who are solid in the band , Jons drumming , but idk just my opinion
I've been to their shows...and i swear i was the only person not on Acid, and therefore the only person actually just watching them rather than just being a twat and trying to experience them in some ridiculous psychedelic sense like that first guy.
The first guy was tripping fucking BALLS.
no he wasn't. he was basically asking if they are luciferians and cedric properly deflected the question
@@wooltrouserslover777 Interesting, I didn't catch that the first time because of the zombie like stare the guy had.
The hair style of Cedric was epic, i would like to have the same
its badass

The Trees Are Dead That's really sad. Omar took his mom's passing very hard. Poor guy. :'(

@@Seethi_C i think they hoped to pass on the curse to get it off of them

omar: "WTF what am i supposed to do with a microphone"
I'm surprised not one of them just got up there high as a kite and just asked "dudes.....like.....dudes.....what IS music, you know? Like what IS it?"
Wow, I was 14 when this video uploaded and 100% into the Mars Volta. Great to get back to this one now that I improved my English listening skills
I am 14 now and I am glad that I don't need to wait 14 years to watch it
"hey my name is dave."
"hey Dave...hello Dave..."
Paul and Dave are the same dude, just trying to sneak in 2 questions
LOL @ the first guy's facial expression
i love cedrics mike and the first guy seemed really high
I don't know a bout you guys, but the first guy's question is hilarious! ha ha ha
Nah, I think he's a fan he's met before because he says 'Long time no see', so he's probably told Cedric he's a Trekkie beforehand or something.

They must feel so awkward doing this.
i would ask if i can join the band to play COWBELL
yea I took it as some type of satire for the first few minutes lol
I'm surprised they took that first question seriously. What the fuck did he even mean by that?
Haha, did somebody shout "WICKERMAN!" when Omar was about to start talking?
Crazy stuff did happen in their lives..but shit happens, it just does
ahh if i was there i would ask are you guys smart asses all of the time or just funny like that cause you guys are fucking amazing ahha xD
Is the "Hello Dave" a reference to The League of Gentlemen's PApa Lazarou?
I think it doesn't have to break when cedric goes wild on the stage
omar thought i was a crazy asian cause i have really long hair lol.
Did anyone see the vulcan hand gesture Cedric made at the last dude? Was that like an insult on his appearance for looking like a Star Trek fan...or like a "Dude I know you're an alien too," kind of thing?

I couldn't agree with you more.

@thisdayjustbelongedt Missing the point.
@thisdayjustbelongedt strofa, refrain , bridge

the first guy was ok
haha. just like that
"hello dave" xD
@iezizpacial no way man
i want to ask them why they write lyrics they dont even understand, its sad when artists create something so unique they dont even realize it.
it says interview with the mars volta but it's only Omar and Cedric
who ARE the mars volta

@osiristriple6
Whatever bro, he's 2deep4u
My favorite what? All I can read are farts.
Cedric looked fucking weird with that hair all crazy
I've been to their shows...and i swear i was the only person not on Acid, and therefore the only person actually just watching them rather than just being a twat and trying to experience them in some ridiculous psychedelic sense like that first guy.
How does their live shows sound like?
Oh wow, you're superior
Dude.... TMV ..... whatever....♾🗝🪄
Why doesn't the audience shut up? All that cheering is irritating.
Interviews are dumb.
Omar is always very rude in interwiev situations...
Nah he’s just funny in a cheeky way
This is embarrassing.
this sucks
