He is so inspiring, he's the reason I'm not scared of making and composing songs. I don't care about song structure, about mistakes etc. Just try to make what YOU think sounds good and use music as an outlet of your thoughts. Great interview!!
the best part about mars volta interviews are the theories and philosophies that omar has..they make you look at music and even life in general a whole new way
omar is a great person Id rather meet omar than Oprah, he makes me feel less insecure, and he helps the days when i cant help myself feel content with being less of a perfectionist.
After listening to these freak beat interviews by Omar, the respect for him in my eyes has gone a notch higher. I mean he is not only a good musician, he also seems like a good person. Infact, he is much more than just a musician, director or writer. Hats off to Omar !!
Fuuuuck! Never heard a man speak like this man before. Seriously. Omar's a straight fuckin' philosopher man. He's so under-rated in everything he does. And so humble and modest. Whether he likes the idea or not, he is one of the most intelligent and talented people ever. On the real.
Great interview. And 9004807, I think you'll hear many repected musicians say they're proud of mistakes. Like he said, it moves you forward and helps you learn when you make a mistake. It's valuable to fail.
He's an intellectual, but he contradicted himself, by saying how can I make someone happy half way across the world? Regardless, even if you've never heard music, it will remain as universal. In my opinion.
I feel like what he says in this interview is kind of larger than life, and that the people entering at the end and the time running out is incredibly disrespectful or something.
