Ok, so The Mars Volta is on tour, opening for System of a Down, and I've been hearing a lot of people talkin about it...but what I'm hearing is fucked up. They all love SOAD and say they're so amazing but they hate TMV, what the hell!!?? If you ask me, SOAD is a fucking joke, especially that new single they have. eg. "everybody's going to the party, have a real good time, la la la la la la la la la la, laaaaaaa!" SOOOOOOOO BAD!! And they have the nerve to say that The Mars Volta sucks, fucking retards. Sometimes I just dont get why people have the opinions they do, it boggles the mind. ps. hi evy... yur ma gurl  |

i hate to make myself out to be the badguy, and i'm not a soad fan so don't get the wrong idea, but isn't it just as unfair to say soad sucks and their fans suck for not liking tmv? you know that if you questioned serg's lyrics that the soad fans would just say "what kind of lrycs are those? a mink handjob in sarcophogus heels? what a joke." if we pride our board on being welcoming, then this exclusion is one step closer to the official tmv board...and we all know what that means...
prussia will be around more often

To be fair, the chorus to BYOB is supposed to be ironic, where people are going out partying while all this shit is going down in the world.
Also, people are going to see SOAD, not the Mars Volta, obviously, a lot more people are going to like the act that they are familiar with and going to see. And plus SOAD are a lot more accessible than TMV, especially live, so a lot more people will be into them.
I went to the SOAD concert, and even though I will always love their s/t to death, they were uber-lame. No energy or stage presence, and they didn't even sound that good. In tune, but no passion. I was extemely suprised to hear people saying it was one of the best shows they'd ever been to. Just watch the video for Sugar or their live Spiders performance on Conan, the energy is staggaring. They performed exactly like they did on SNL this time though, really limp and out of it.
I didn't see TMV or Hella, I came too late unfortunately. So, even though I didn't like the show, I can see both sides. I've seen TMV before, and those ambling 20 minute jams can get extremely tedious, even for someone expecting them. I can understand why someone would be pissed if they didn't see it coming.

Hella was good .. Serg has like such a bad stage persona ... like he sings with his arm at his side .. its like there is no passion for what he does

i hate soad to be frank. after a while of listening to them its like someones drilling a hole in my head. but to be fair they do have some talent, they are original in their own way, and there are worse bands
but then again saying they're better than TMV.....who are they kidding?

of course, but they are 2 different genres, so a comparison is unfair...do you guys agree? for instance, i could decide on 2 reggae bands, because they play the same music. i could determine which band is better, but with a nu-metal band vs. a prog/rock/punk/jazz/salsa/spanish band...is totally inappropiate
