there's a music style the gypsies use called 'cante jondo' (deep song). do you guys use this in your album? it is characterized by 'silences and breaks within a word or couplet, starling shifts of rhythm, trance like repetitions of nonsense sounds, whines, howls, groans, wails, and weird thrills and vibrati, along with background encouragement of the lead singer from other musicians'.
what is it... 10 years of volta? close to 20 of music together? how do you keep things from getting stale, how do you keep from hating each other? how do you avoid turning into one of those U2 type bands that just keep going even though they're all hollowed out. where do you see yourself in 5 years? how do you think ( or hope) people will look back on you and your music in the future? how does this compare to your opinions of bands you listen to?
What, in your opinion, would you like to see more of in the merchandising and distribution of music? We've seen pay-what-you-want, downloads included with vinyl purchases, pre-order, Kickstarter, etc. What's next in the relationship between technology and music? What new products are you developing (books, videos, games)?
What's the best part of touring all over the world and wich country is the best for you to play??? which country receives your music the best way you would like to?
I'm sure you'll do a south american tour for this album, but will you come to countries that you've never come to before? Theres a huge fanbase waiting for you in Peru.
What are your thoughts on cannabis and it's significance to a wide variety of musicians? Not that ALL musicians partake, but it seems to be a common vice among many.
Are there any architectural spaces that inspire you to write your music? if so which are they? if not, why do you think musicians love tight and cluttered spaces to record?
¿Podrían responder alguna de las preguntas formuladas anteriormente en español en su lengua natal? Me parece que algo de candela latina le vendría bien a la 4a pregunta...¿cómo es que consideran ésta etapa de transición; ese retomar las raíces pero con una mira hacia un nuevo enfoque?... por mencionar algo, claro está.
@Ancaja123 That's a no, my friend. Cedric mentioned on his UA-cam account that there would be no Frusciante on this one. Something about not being able to afford paying him.
Have you drawn much inspiration from Björk and have you had any contact with her? I find Cedric's higher register sound a lot like her and her second lates album is called Volta.
la pregunta es , Why are you guys doing this if we are going to die one day, I mean if there's so many things that suck in the world, what motivate you guys to keep going , afterlife? heritage? Saludos
How do you know when a song is finished? Do you have a good idea of what it's going to sound like before it's made, or do you just wing it until it sounds like exactly what you like?
Since you guys wanted to try different things on this album than your previous ones, was there any significant things you guys learned during the process of making this album?
@PeachesAndSkeet this videos are done in 1 day... and they're made to make money... smart way to make money off youtube lols, i saw 1, and i became curious..so i started watching all the questions videos.. and im guessing im not alone on this 1... 21,500 ppl did same shit -_-
I think that we're fortunate to have a band like this operating in modern days. Not since the 70s has anything happened like this.
First video was uploaded on Feb 27
Second video was uploaded on Feb 24
SEEMS LEGIT
Cedric's inner voice: Omar you have no idea what this means to me
Thanks you guys.
Apparently Apple likes the album art too
I believe that's the secret to why they don't age....it's because they love to change and create new things
Is that you, Moatilliatta?
I love the art!

What are y'alls drinks of choice? Beer and hard liquor.

Is the reunion of At The Drive-In going to have a big impact on The Mars Volta?
Are you coming to Austria for this tour? Sorry for the lack of depthness...but we need you here in Vienna! Munich was the nearest by far...
Omars so set on breaking away from ''the old habits'', buts its those old habits that made their music so great.
My Question is: Is Babe Ruth's music an inspiration to your previous and current works?

WILL CACTI BECOME A PART OF YOUR NEW STAGE PROP SETUP? WHEN WILL THE CACTUSES GET THEIR TIME TO SHINE!?!?!?
Piensan hacer una gira sudamericana la cual incluya Perú? Piensan venir a Perú algún día? Gracias!
What's the best part of touring all over the world and wich country is the best for you to play??? which country receives your music the best way you would like to?
How was the creation of "Noctourniquet" like?
@PeachesAndSkeet The campaign started long before the videos were posted.
This one is for Cedric. Cedric, why do you choose to break expensive shit during live performances?
Have you ever thought of adapting Deloused to film? I'm thinking like a Pan's-Labyrinth-esque movie
I'm sure you'll do a south american tour for this album, but will you come to countries that you've never come to before? Theres a huge fanbase waiting for you in Peru.
When’s the new album coming ? Nice new logo
Is at the drive in ever going to release a new album?

Not that ALL musicians partake, but it seems to be a common vice among many.

Do you believe that this year will have some sort of spiritual significance?
Where's the vinyl?????
Does TMV send copies of new songs to friends who then fuck to the music in order to see if the new tracks have "that swagger?"
What do you guys like about Sci-Fi?
the cover is of the aegis defense system.used in the navy.
What does TMV mean to you,is there a goal or are you aimlessly amusing us all until death do us part?
Omar, who is your favorite pony?
Will it be up-beat?
Are there any architectural spaces that inspire you to write your music? if so which are they? if not, why do you think musicians love tight and cluttered spaces to record?
Were there any tracks that gave you trouble or tracks that were frustrating to record or work on?
@oridniv haha nice theory
@Ancaja123 no he does not, Cedric said they didn't have enough money to pay him
What's the lyric-writing process like?

Omar, what's your favorite instrument to play?

@Ancaja123 That's a no, my friend. Cedric mentioned on his UA-cam account that there would be no Frusciante on this one. Something about not being able to afford paying him.
Have you drawn much inspiration from Björk and have you had any contact with her? I find Cedric's higher register sound a lot like her and her second lates album is called Volta.
Cedric mentioned in several interviews that she inspired his singing right after ATDI. TMV even covered a Sugarcubes songs when Bedlam came out.
Does john frusciante play on this record?
What do you do during pre production?
Omar & cedric what size of shoes did u guys wear? ))
omar, do you ever edit a song based on the vocals that cedric added or is the song always the same as it was before the vocals?
How long it take to TMV to finish this record? and, when do you did you finish it?
Omar, are you Kaiser Soze?
-omar looks dead pan serious into the camera, zoom in- "No."
-long pause and out-
whats so bad about old habits lol
la pregunta es , Why are you guys doing this if we are going to die one day, I mean if there's so many things that suck in the world, what motivate you guys to keep going , afterlife? heritage?

Sometimes I wish I was a guy so that I could sport a glorious little fro like you guys.

I care a lot.
How do you know when a song is finished? Do you have a good idea of what it's going to sound like before it's made, or do you just wing it until it sounds like exactly what you like?
Would this sound like any albums you've done Prior
@Barronj90 EVERYBODY THUMB THIS UP GOOD QUESTION MAN. (:
Do you change your clothes?
Will you come to Ukraine with this album?
Since you guys wanted to try different things on this album than your previous ones, was there any significant things you guys learned during the process of making this album?
@FantasticMayumi Uh, Cedric actually dissed Atlas of ID on his UA-cam.
what do you feel that deantoni brings to accomplishing a different sound on the new album?
@chessprodigy Lmao It's the hair right? I was wondering the same thing.
