Today Isaiah "Ikey" Owens passed away. Today I am listening to all of his amazing work and best performances. I always loved this version the most due to the accentuated synth line and keys. May he forever rest in peace.
Sitting here at 33k views 9 years later in 2020. They were so fucking good. Magical moment in time. Sad to see how far you can fall in life. I'm just at peace knowing the next go around will be just as epic. Until then, you violent Martians.
my favorite version. i owned a copy of the actual demo, and those versions of the 4 songs are soo great cuz they are so raw and not programed as much as the album.
I love this version of the song, and I have a hard time saying which I like better. I think my favorite part of this as opposed to the De-Loused version is the much more prominent keyboard parts, which I think add a lot to the song. Otherwise, I kind of like the De-Loused version better. But it’s great we can hear both!
Thank you so much. You have no idea how hard it is to find this version of this song... or maybe you do.. since you uploaded it. Anyway.. long days and pleasant nights to you, sai.
Love this version. Really sounds like a live performance you can tell not much production going on here..with that said, nothing tops the album version in my book
I had the cd that this was on. There was a few more demos like this and some short Mars Volta interview tracks in between. Can't remember the name of the cd though
blindreefer this was never on a cd, you might be referring to a later version that was included with a few other songs but was never an official release just titled “summer demos”
1:53 note the different lyrics. Instead of "It's because this is...." he sings "It's because this is GREAT??" or "death is great?". What is he really singing here that was removed later?

I can’t get enough of the build when Cedric says ‘cadavers’ right before the chorus
This was always my favorite version. So raw and perfect.
Nicole Rosetty agreed!
Cedrics on the most drugs in this version. Not sure if it’s better or worse but it’s damn unique
This song, and this version is so great. single best mars Volta song imo
Best version of this song by far. Thanks for uploading. Really loved those old demos before DeLoused was ever recorded
I discovered this song the same way. I was disappointed to find out they changed the album song. This will always be my favourite version.
i like the album versions better but cedric sounds autotuned on the first chorus because it seems to jump a scale unaturaly
Dude. This is sooo out of tune. Wich makes me think omar wanted it to be like this.
I like the Deloused cleaned up version, but this reminds me of how they improvised their life performances. Thanks for uploading this.

The outro to this song is amazing.
the best version!

I used to have this on a demo version of Sparta's Wiretap Scars.
what are the others?

i like this version more than the Roulette Dares from DeLoused, i also like State Your Preference more than Citatriz ESP

I heard "it's because this is prey"
i thought its "its because this is freight" referencing the junction at the railroad
@@growskull Haha. No, that would make too much sense.
@@Pandamasque haha true
@@Pandamasque btw i see you on every single mars volta video lmao
yea cool find man
This is post tremulant?
the part from :42 to :51 gives me more chills then the Deloused version, that smooth shit
I don't like the way the keyboards play over the guitars on the chorus.
neohorizons!!!
