At The Drive-In (Cedric Bixler-Zavala) - What's in My Bag? 

So thats how you know your wife's friends...

I met him once back in like 2003, when the first Mars Volta album came out, Deloused. I met him and Omar after their set when they were both heading to the bus, and I was wearing a shirt of the band Fifteen. and we connected cuz they knew Fifteen. personally, had hung out and crashed with them! Totally great people!

​@@jeanettethomas5806I don't think Jeff ott gets enough credit for his contribution to music.

Awesome

Brilliant!🤣

That's funny, he always reminded me of the singer from the Mars Volta.

Because he probably is

Cedric-Bixler Zavala, in partic.

Or maybe Lars Von Trier.

Right, very ironic moment right there

I thought this too

?

@@darthnihilus511 Danny Masterson raped Cedric's wife back in the early 2000's. She was in one episode of That 70's Show back in the early days. The episode where Hyde meets the punk rock chick, that's her.

i was like noooooooo cant escape this guy everytime i watch cedric now

He has terrible taste

fuck this guy i love them and love to hear about what these bands pls man feel free to dm me

+1

Yep, but the sleaford mods are terrible

Oh totally. Got me into Sleaford Mods

And an excellent head of hair

And an excellent head of hair

@@cpr8862 I got to smell his afro at the Fillmore, Denver CO, Bedlam in Goliath tour. He hugged the girl standing next to me, we were at the front. When he hugged her, the top of his afro pressed into my face, he is short. It smelled like cigarettes, and amazing cologne or something. 😆

Why though? Lol

@@asiintrospect6229 Danny Masterson who plays Hyde allegedly raped Cedric's wife when they dated in the early 2000's.

Danny Masterson? Yeah.

yeah, that was weird

He doesn't actually mention that 70's show though..he just says a famous tv show.

Tell me about it. I feel like I’m the only that understands the Universe I created with the soundtracks I make for myself.

Cuz ur a person who cant empathize. Not everyone is an audiophile, not all thinks listening to new music is anything meaningful. To some music is purely an entertainment platform. And thats their own tragedy.

Matt S id say that really hurts the talented artists that make their own sound but get less recognition because why do that when you can ride a wave, and when that trend dies out, theyll steal ideas from the underground and then they have to go make more unique music while they run the sounds they previously created to the ground by not innovating it and then repeating the process when what they stole and made a trend dies out because they werent creative enough to innovate and make the music better of different. Basically, at the end of the day, being creative gets your shit stolen and you discredited, just look at raider klan and Denzel Curry. EVERYONE uses their dark and atmospheric sounds in hip hop, yet they created it and still innovate it and make more new styles whilst the mainstream hip hop will steal their ideas, do even less with them, and run what they made a trend into the ground while the actual innovators can still use those sounds they created and futher innovate by blending genres and making something new only for it to be taken from them again because THEY are the real creators and are actually capable of breeding something new from being uncomfortable and charting new territories in music

They are organic portals (NPCs). The majority of people are like this. They exist simply to maintain and promote the status quo

Something that helped me get over that mentality is to just think about it in terms of a different medium. For example, I'm a suuuuper picky eater that won't eat basically anything even remotely outside of my narrow comfort zone (pretty much anything that isn't some combination of bread, "normal" meat and cheese) but I love sodas and am always eager to try weird things like PB&J or lavender soda, so while I'd never willingly eat anything outside of my narrow preference range I can still understand why people who do like a wide range of flavors and textures in their food would want to try as many new things as possible. For me eating is just a basic part of life that isn't worth getting excited about, to them it's something to be explored and experienced as much as possible. Music is the same, to a lot of us it's an engaging and active hobby with endless new experiences to discover but to many it's just a pleasant thing that they enjoy but have no interest going any further than their current preferences. Note that this doesn't mean they "don't really love music." I don't eat a lot of variety but I absolutely love the few foods that I do eat, pizza and chicken have provided countless delicious meals over the years. In just the same way that one guy we all know that still listens to nothing but early 2000s pop punk and nu metal probably loves their music just as much you love yours, they just have a narrower preference range and that's totally fine. This applies to pretty much every other field of interest in life. Games, movies, books, shows, youtube, social media, exercise, sports, conversation and just about anything else you can think of. People can have a limited interest in exploring the fringes of anything while still regularly enjoying the surface level of the medium.

@@jjprulz In the southwest we say fuckin. In parts of the southeast they say fackin. In the Midlands and north they say fookin. The Scottish, mostly Glaswegians, say focken. And the Irish say fookin, or feckin, which actually means 'to throw, to feck'. A real spectrum...

​@@DinckelburgIn the Merseyside/Wirral area we say fuckin, no fookin here.

based cedric moment

@@malbennett9806 easy now lets not start a war over accents

I’m pretty sure he was a bit cynical and nihilistic 20+ years ago. If you watch the end of the Big Day Out performance they did, you’ll see a bit of that. But I’m glad he’s still around and seems to be in a good place, while still being a creative force.

@@AerialPriestesshe was also a hardcore drug addict then

+Daniel Oliver it’d be great to produce a longer show someday.

Your welcome

holadonkey bravo, well said!

everyone else is picking Noise Techno AvantGarde made in 1915, I hate it when people on this do that lol

You might get your wish

You got your wish :)

New album out today!

whoa bro chill out

+chaselearkendall we get what you’re saying. Thanks so much for the feedback and thanks for watching!

Editor. Not camerman.

To be fair the camera work was very professional as well. : )

How’d you go?

Climbing Up The Sounds ILY 😘

Daniela Hernandez I've some tequila mija, we can have some fun at chico's tacos u know wot a mean esa? Y luego nos vamos a juaritoz

quetshupfa she's into donkeys not taco sized.

DANIELA mija..

Pasa tu insta

He hasn't aged well.

@@TheSilence1 Who decides what type of aging looks well and what type doesn't ... or whether any of that even matters or not.

HAHQHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

TheSilence1 he looks the same he literally just gained weight. Which most do when they’re in their 40’s and have a couple kids

@@Mossromantic One, The weight fluctuation is due to the being on and off smack. He has talked about it. Two, No most people of any age do not gain weight unless they have bad habits or a disease. That is rubbish information that has been fed to you. At 40 I should expect to be fat and unhealthy cause I had sex and made babies?

nah that's omar, hehe

Same here man;)

i actually found him pretty pretentious. interesting

Omar is way better than Jimi tho :D

I can’t like this enough you took the words right out of my mouth! I have the 3 eyes symbol tattooed on me!

Travis Beck past, present and future tense...

Exactly!

we all become Deloused in the Comatarium when we listen to it

lol, that's awesome.

I don't blame him,"hella" is awesome..."biblical violence" is probably my favorite

Bennefits of being a rockstar haha

Ran into Beto backstage at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in Austin a few weeks back, he’d been getting mobbed by people all night, came and stood next to me side stage. I leaned in and asked if I could ask him a weird question, he obliged, and I asked what he thought about the new TMV stuff. We talked music for about 30 minutes afterwards, cool dude and knows his shit

And they are both so evolved and political. Texas is a crazy staye to be from.

Travis Beck I fell in love Acrobatic Tenement

I love listening to the whole albums front to back while driving on the highway! Very therapeutic lol

I hate when people say "vinyls"

Travis Beck atdi and TMV were my teenage years,me and my friends used to say that maybe we didn't saw Zeppelin or Floyd in their prime, but we got to see The voltas

Me too dude, I heard in/casino/out and was hooked

10 minutes

If you haven't heard much krautrock, you definitely should check it out. Can, Faust, Neu!, Guru Guru, Ash Ra Tempel to name a few other bands Cedric didn't mention.

Well.... ehem To be fair,

mrlevinielsen you need to have a high iq

Ah shaddap.

the keyboardist passed away : (

Yes please.

YES! I love The Mars Volta, I miss them a lot. Too bad Ikey is dead... :(

They will after ATDI settles.

"get" him where?

yes

Where's that?

You read my mind.

Right de facto

Clockwork Orange he's thinking

Not many lists would put those people together.

Always liked ATDI and it took me awhile to get into TMV but when Cedric and Omar get to making music, they are magic together.

literally inspired by lead singer of zen guerilla

ITS true

I need to pay attention I have been listening since 2000 and still haven't seen them

This is what i came away with too. Great to see
