The Mars Volta is: [Cedric Bixler Zavala] - Vocals [Omar Alfredo Rodriguez-Lopez] - Guitar [Jon Philip Theodore] - Drums [Juan Alderete] - Bass [Isaiah Ikey Owens] - Keyboards It started in the summer of 2001. [Cedric Bixler's] and [Omar Rodriguez's] (both from At the Drive-In) fame had been playing in their dub band De Facto with [Ikey Owens] and [Jeremy Ward]. They had been playing for years, but after ATDI split up, De Facto teamed up with drummer [Jon Theodore] (Golden) and bassist [Eva Gardner] to start The Mars Volta. They went on tour with The Anniversary in the fall of 2001. They got very mixed responses to the material. Some people expected another ATDI, some just wanted to see what the buzz was about, and a whole lot of people wondered who the freaks with the afros we More...

Ive read the book | Reviewer: Nathan ------ About the song Roulette Dares (This is the Haunt) performed by Mars Volta The Haunt of Roulette Dares is Cerpin Taxt's journey through the Comatorium's Trainyard. In this chapter of the story, Cerpin awakes inside a substance that is similar to a cocoon. He looks outside and sees he is in an old Train yard. He goes outside and asks the homeless men for a place to rest. The Vagrants dare him to go and sleep in the haunted Train called the "Roulette Dares". He refuses, but gives in after they jaunt and jeer him. After falling asleep, a creature of unknown origin sneaks up on Cerpin, and attacks him. Then the train starts up and takes him on a violent journey. At the very end, Cerpin has a vision of himself in his mother's arms, trying to comfort him. awesome! | Reviewer: parker ------ About the song Concertina performed by Mars Volta This song is about one of the members of At The Drive-In who drove a close friend of Omar's and Cedric's to suicide. Concertina, Cut That City, and Eunuch Provacatuer (sp) are about this. Awesome song by my favorite band in the world. No, no, no | Reviewer: Frances ------ About the song Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus performed by Mars Volta THIS IS NOT A G-RATED REVIEW. THIS SONG IS NOT A G-RATED SONG. (this album is most definitely not G-rated, particularly L'Via and Cassandra Gemini) This song is the beginning of Frances the Mute, a concept album that tells the story of Vismund Cygnus, a chain-smoking transvestite prostitute orphan with a split personality (his other identity is female, Cassandra Gemini). This song basically introduces him. In Cedric's bizarre style of lyricism (in which he purposely removed anything that might possibly be too straightforward), he's basically introducing the main character and his goals: mainly to find his family. (The first family member he finds is L'Via L'Viaquez). -- This is the common opinion found on The Comatorium. cavalarado | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta Actually, the entire album is a concept that tells the story of an orphan through a diary that Jeremy Ward, the audio artist for TMV, found in the back of a car he was repo-ing. Like, "Un historia sin mi madre" means "A history without my mother" in Spanish, so it could be telling of the orphan who wrote the diary. great song | Reviewer: Cameronieous ------ About the song Asilos Magdalena performed by Mars Volta its one of my favorite Mars Volta songs. and weather in english or spanish its beautiful. but not like a rose pretty, but in that morose dark beauity that the Mars Volta has great talent at convaying. i just wish it was a more popular song. It doesn't really matter | Reviewer: David ------ About the song Roulette Dares (This is the Haunt) performed by Mars Volta First of all, don't try to hard. A lot of the lyrics in tmv songs are more about the sound and interplay of the word structures more so than the literal meanings. So not every phrase has a particular interpretation that is correct. The one thing I wanted to comment on is the chorus. The song is about intra-venious drug use, but I think the chorus may refer the point of hallucination where a drug user may believe that they can actually escape the physical world in which we live and become and entity in an alternate reality. However, cerpin doesnt make it and ends up in a sort of limbo. Buyer beware, there are worse fates than death lewis carrol esque | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt performed by Mars Volta the story this album is based on reminds me a lot of the poems in through the looking glass i think it takes a certain state of mind to understand it without looking it up lol this album really is a masterpiece Meaningless | Reviewer: Jimmy ------ About the song Drunkship Of Lanterns performed by Mars Volta Omar and Cedric have said in interviews that the lyrics are applied to the music, not the other way around, and that they come spontaneously from listening to the rhythms in the music. They have no intended meaning. This does not mean that they are meaningless - in fact the point they might be trying to make is that it is the listener who invests meaning in the song, not the creator. Critically, these are Edward Lear-style nonsense-lyrics (and bad English!), but the listener can still draw something personal from them. The Mars Volta | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta Cedric and Omar were both in At the Drive in, so it definitely makes sense that some of their themes from At the Drive-In songs would carry over into The Mars Volta lyrics. Just because it's part of a story line doesn't mean it can't also be about violence in Juarez. I think Zeta's comment is interesting an makes a good point. @ iehg | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/10 @Zeta9966: This is most definitely NOT an At The Drive-In song. I don't see what your comment has to do with anything. Yes, the song is about a prostitute, she ties in with the story of the album (I don't know how because I haven't listened to the whole thing yet). Cosmic Battle | Reviewer: bob barker ------ About the song Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus performed by Mars Volta I have to somewhat agree with the statement of TMV fighting off the armageddon, saw their set at Bonnaroo last year and at one point the sky grew dark and parted and they did battle with behemoth, banishing it once again into the abyss saving the galaxy from an eternity of torment... Then again, the concert crowd was swimming in an acidic haze... Still sucks Thomas Pridgen is no longer in the band, he is definitively the best drummer i've ever seen.. intraneous opiates | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Roulette Dares (This is the Haunt) performed by Mars Volta It's a song about injecting heroin or morphia. All the allusions to railroad tracks are references to 'track marks' which are damaged blood vessels as the guy is looking for somewhere on his body to shoot up. There are also multiple references to parts of the body, open wrist muscles ( metacarpi) breaking the skin, pin pricks etc...exo and ecto skeletal are references to feeling and looking like aghost or an emaciated corpse (spectre, cadaver like) and also being out of ones skin perhaps,feeling dependant and supported by something else. All the parts where he talks about regret and warnings (caveat emptor) are either moralising, or junkie self loathing (ritual contrition). The roulette refers to the ultimate life death game of chance that you never know exactly what you're getting with buying this stuff off the street so you always run the risk of overdose... ( crainial bleeding ). Finally the whole sound and progression of the song dripping in feedback and bent strings echos this, taking you on highs and lows as it builds up and subsides into spaced out confusion... Why all the americans comment? | Reviewer: Axel ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta Yes, that´s my question. Why all the americans comment this song? Es la unica cancion que conozco que hablan en castellano y que a los americanos les gusta. Bueno, en fin, this song rocks, but it´s so looooooong. Dura 12:27! De todas formas me hace pensar en Crazy Things like a man killing people in his car XDDD asilos magdalena | Reviewer: no one important ------ About the song Asilos Magdalena performed by Mars Volta "morning star" is what God called lucifer before he fell. To me this song is about someone who has rejected their catholic faith. Samael is the angel of destruction, and the leader of good AND evil. So what the song is trying to say is that they embrace the power of Satan and are challenging Samael to come and do something about it. Not 4chan | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed performed by Mars Volta The guy who says that Omar and cedric's friend posted on 4chan is wrong. At the time of release of this album 4chan did not exist. The album was released June 24th 2003, 4chan didn't exist until October 2003. l´via | Reviewer: feelthisfunk ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta Lol why do people say ´like many of you´ .. i havent been introduced by guitar hero... but because i saw their concert.. (7times now) but i do think its good they´ve got more fans by this game, cause its the best band ever.. im trying to learn the spanish part, cause i live in spain right now, but its very difficult if you dont speak the language! iehg | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta @Zeta9966: This is most definitely NOT an At The Drive-In song. I don't see what your comment has to do with anything. Yes, the song is about a prostitute, she ties in with the story of the album (I don't know how because I haven't listened to the whole thing yet). @Anonymous: It's not Santana, it's John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their bassist, Flea, also plays trumpet on The Widow and Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore. as a fact | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Cassandra Geminni performed by Mars Volta As a fact, the whole record was supposed to be a 5 songs album. Since the record label told them that if they put justo 5 songs, they would be paid as if they had made an EP (obviously this is way less), so they decided to divide the album in 12 songs, putting the first half of Cassandra Gemini as part of Miranda that ghost just isnt holy anymore, but in fact the Miranda song lasts only 13 min, leaving the other 32 mins left to be part of Cassandra Gemini, just saying. :) The real reason behind the song | Reviewer: Johnny O ------ About the song Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus performed by Mars Volta I read this in an interview a long time ago. The whole Frances the Mute album is from a journal that their former bass player (who died) found in the back seat of a vehicle that he was repossessing while working as a repo man. He found that this man's journal mirrored his life and his quest to find his birth mother as he was an adopted child. The songs are inspired by the people that this man came into contact with during his quest to find his mother. (kinda sucks that he lost his journal... but made a cool CD huh?). This whole song is him being an unwanted child ie: "Now this train don’t lie An abortion that survived..." I wish I could remember where I read the interview, it may have come from Rolling Stone magazine. great song | Reviewer: tongo ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta one of their best songs... his grammar in spanish sucks though (i'm hispanic and live in a spanish speaking country, if anyone thinks i'm wrong) 10/10 musically speaking + the english part of the song You could review the artist/band Mars Volta in Biography page You could review Mars Volta album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Mars Volta song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Mars Volta" Music | |
