I love this interview because Omar and Cedric look like they're actually having fun! I'm glad Nardwuar could bring it out in them. They're so adorable too. The Mars Volta kick ass!
Omar and Cedric absolutely loved the weirdos, man… they still do. I think there was a level of respect they were showing Nard. With that respect comes a really fun and laid back interview.
How refreshing and nostalgic it is to see Omar and Cedric like that! Young, energetic, positive, having so much fun! That relates a lot to my old group of friends when we found out TMV and enjoyed it together.
They likely are. It was mentioned in the first few minutes of the interview that Cedric and Omar opened for Narduwar’s old band while they were still running AtDI.
I like how in every other TMV interview, they look like they aren't having fun because people take them WAAAAY too seriously, but in this one, they're rarely not laughing.
I can't believe Nardwuar missed the Puertorican connection between Omar Rodríguez López and Ron Reyes from Black Flag! Boricua punkrockers baby!!! Anyways dope interview, like always!
no, they stopped doing OPIATES, allegedly, only after the death of Jeremy Ward from a heroin overdose, right before the release of Deloused in the Comatorium, so well after the Mars Volta were formed. they definitely did a lot of drugs as at the drive-in haha.
Rockstars from my home town El Paso Texas! Cedric and Omar had a band called Jerk in the early 90s. Omar Rodriguez’s father has a salsa band too. Crazy to think how successful they became. #chucotown #915
@@michaeledwards6683 we dont really know what goes on between the two of them we just get to read the rumors and information people put out on the internet and all we can do is give our opinions. only omar and jim truly know their own relationship with each other, unless both have publicly talked about each other, we can get a hint of what its like.
One of Nardwuar's top 5 interview for me, and I've seen a lot LOL. Losses points for the Jim Ward diss. Jim, you are the man and were the soul of ATDI.
i took care of Omar's dad at a restaurant in san antonio and is was incredibly humble. It was right after TMV won a grammy and performed and i was a huge fan so it was really cool taking care of him. Hearing that he had such an influence on Omar's music taste makes a lot of sense now!
A long time ago I was trying to remember a band name . Your answer @the swami is incorrect or maybe it’s correct ,but the answer I was looking for is 400 BLOWS on the Volcom Entertainment Recording Label.
I just got here from the Blur interview. Kind of shows that the quality of an artist's music is directly proportional to the way they treat interviewers.
As a Latino weirdo I would totally be a friend of these guys. I've loved them ever since I first listened that great great album called Deloused in the Comatorium back in the summer of 2003. Been a fan since
these dudes have mellowed out considerably over the years, particularly Cedric. He came off like a humourless bastard in the ATDI days most of the time. good to see them acting this way nowadays.
Estos son los verdaderos Rockstars. Jamás los he visto de mala onda en una entrevista. Siempre graciosos frescos. Cedric es lo mejor🖤 y Omar ni se hable es de otro planeta Los amo . Y amo que hayan vuelto al ruedo con la Mars Volta
this is one of the most informative and thorough interviews of one of the most innovative bands of the century!! I can't wait for our Nardwuar interview :D
i wouldve liked a nardwuar vs. at the drive-in, seeing as they kind of reunited this past year for a festival run. hopefully that still happens. i'm sure nard would totally nail omar on the jim ward diss.
Interesting what people in the comments are saying when just last week I saw Cedric destroy some fan on Instagram just for asking if they were gonna play a song.
