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.
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!
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.
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.
in the documentary, Cedric wanted him out cuz they didnt like his vibe. omar wanted to give him another chance but cedric kicked him out. jim said "this would ruin me financially" and cedric said "i dont want to be spiritually ruined". but theres two sides to every story and clearly they never liked Jim and the movie painted him as a kind of boogeyman
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
i think we dont even know half of it. even to this day. jim acts polite towards them, omar and cedric publically have said negative things about him. but who knows what went on behind the scenes
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.
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.
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
@@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.
The Mars Volta are the only dudes that really vibe with nardwuar because they love and embrace the weirdos like him. That's their tribe and they speak that language. In the early days where Narduwar wasn't an established interviewer, the people that tried their hardest to seem normal rejected and bullied Nardwuar because they couldn't confront him being the manifestation of the thing which they suppress. Nowadays, the only reason most people don't give Nardwuar a hard time is because he is well respected within the industry, but if it weren't for that, they wouldn't be polite with Nardwuar.
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.
Fraid not Jim wasnt at any of the shows. I didnt even learn this till the day of concert but show was still kick ass. Feel bad for him thought hopefully hes out there making the music he wants to
yeah, its a shame. jim sounded great on the vocals in 2012 too. a new rolling stone article with omar seems to indicate that they arent on good terms, and it seems like omar and juan aldrete aren't on good terms either from what i can tell. i think ultimately cedric and omar are brothers and cedric wont do atdi without omar, and atdi cant play atdi shows without cedric as the frontman. its also such a shame they cant work it out since jeremy ward, jim's cousin, was so close with all of them
aligboyakasha .... Yeah, the only people who ARE on good terms with Omar besides Cedric are ass kissers, star fuckers and glad handers because Omar is a rude, condescending, egotistical prick who isn't a fraction as interesting as his music is or he THINKS he is. I could go on as to why but just take my word and that of past band mates; Omar is the egotistical, fascist, racist he claims to be completely against. Trust a man's actions, not his words.
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.
Wow my band that u had to understand after hearing one arm scissors, amazing album deloused in the crematorium one of few bits of muzic that I hold dearly love from the M Volta
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!
They are most likely under the influence (yeah I’m 15 years late)
@@squonkydog6259 Under the influence of Nardwuar
14 years later... they still kick ass in my playlist
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.
I think the fact that they know each other from playing gigs helps.
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.
These guys were the best people in any nardwuar interview. Even nardwuar was laughing
The most talented
I think they were just high and full of themselves at the time
@@none11ification they're not full of themselves, they aren't arrogant and never have been
@@gerryfromthevoid8986 but they were almost definitely high af though.
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 oh yeah these guys used to get fucked upppp
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!
Boriiiiicua!!! Johnny Pacheco name dropped in!
when it comes to connections nardwuar only cares aboot canada
Hey Nardie can you interview them again for their comeback?
Fuck this would be amazing
YES!!!!!
Years please!!!
Well your wish is coming true cause theyre touring with the red hot chili peppers
to the top!
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.
This is one of the only interviews where Nardwuar and the people he interviews seem like they're actually friends
i think the camera quality does a lot too. makes it feel like theres just another dude filming with a little camers goofing around
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 feel like Jim left ATDI after the reunion because he saw or rewatched this video
in the documentary, Cedric wanted him out cuz they didnt like his vibe. omar wanted to give him another chance but cedric kicked him out. jim said "this would ruin me financially" and cedric said "i dont want to be spiritually ruined". but theres two sides to every story and clearly they never liked Jim and the movie painted him as a kind of boogeyman

Nardwuar: _So, hey Omar are you--?_
Omar: _Hehehehehahahahahehehehehahahahahehehehaha_
"Omar's a little more hands on" than Rick Rubin 😂😂
Omar really played into instrumentals and often making any vocals secondary... until he hit it off with Ximena and found another vocal muse
If you are curious, Omar names this salsa artists:
-Larry Harlow (Album: El Exigente)
-Charlie Palmieri
-Héctor Lavoe
-Willie Colón
-Johnny Pacheco
Thanks for this. I remember my extended family always playing Harlow and Willie when I was a kid at parties.
This is *exactly* what I was hoping to find in the comments, you're a saint
Yomo Toro rips on those Willie Colon albums
RIP to the little man who lost his life
poor lil midget
You’re not tough enough
@@MrThom89 damn it Tom Hardy, youre too tough for us
@@305backup you totally missed the joke.
lol I love how Omar and Cedric are so game for Nardwuar's antics and comedic sensibilities.
lol they must have been high during this interview because they are laughing the whole time.
Man, these guys giggle alot...LOL
Im sure they are high
@@anthonyestrada6173 they stopped doing drugs when they were still at the drive in.
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.
Almost every latino.
yeah, they were probably high. cedric was so damn skinny it’s crazy. i’m glad they’re both clean now
All the laughter is contagious :)
these guys aren't as pretentious as people think. cedrick for one, is actually a really funny guy.
Nardwuar must do so much research on his interviewees before he meets 'em… Just another outrageously good interview...
His ones w rappers are good, they don't like being asked too personal of questions
Ive seen a lot of boring and rigid interviews with these lads, but this was awesome
What I always love is that moment of seriousness and devotion when Nardwuars guests start to talk about their influences.
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!
How did u figure out it was Omar's dad?
What restaurant was it?
I love it when Nardwuar says "he was down with the gettin' jiggy with it". it just made me laugh really hard.
probably the most insightful and sincere interview ever.
my god this is so good.
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.
By that logic Wocka Flocka Flame is the greatest artist of all time.
@@cangrejopendejo4909 yes.
@@cangrejopendejo4909 Maybe he is
Hell nah. Blur and Sonic Youth were absolute wank stains to Nardwauar, but their music are far from bad
Nardwuar is the the best guy ever and he's interviewing my favorite band I can't stop smiling this is so wholesome and good
A Nardwuar / Tom Waits interveiw would be amazing
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
Omar nunca envejece.
it's great how you can just tell if a band's members are cool people by seeing how they handle a Nardwuar interview
Damn Omar laughing about firing people 😂
OH MY GOD HOW DID I LET THIS GEM SLIP BY ME!!!!! THE MARS VOLTA IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!
Tha Swami what is that other band associated with these guys on Volcom entertainment?
@@Wheelieking619 At the drive in? Sorry for the lateness lol.

@@Wheelieking619 lol my bad I just skimmed through my replies and thought you were just talking about their band before the mars volta.
mine too juat saw them live last month!
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
"Jim who?"
Wow, I had no idea things were so bitter between them.
i think we dont even know half of it. even to this day. jim acts polite towards them, omar and cedric publically have said negative things about him. but who knows what went on behind the scenes
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.
I like this interview because cedric and omar are laughing alot...at least this guy is bringing some life to the interview!
I have so much more respect for these guys after seeing this video they seem so cool, I would love to just sit down and talk to these guys!!
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.
Yeah, that was classless. I'd love to know what their issue was with him.
This is such a great interview. Nardwuar is genuinely hilarious. The boys are loving it.
i love these guys... 'what do u remember about opening for my band' lmao
Nardwuar do Death Grips! lol
yeah right haha.
Zach hill wont respond to his emails :(
hands down best interview from you
Omar busting out some Spanish was a pretty solid Nardwuar moment.
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
Omar's "Jim who?" comment knocked him down 17 points on my awesomeness scale.
Not that it matters; he's still way ahead of everyone else.
Yeah, I love Omar, but c'mon man, why they gotta goof on Jim? Sparta is pretty fucking great.
@@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.
I’m glad you made this comment 9 years ago because the hard feelings are all gone anyway.
That was a low blow on Jim xD
Mario V yeah, That was fucked up. Jim seems like the nicest guy ever and they've been shitting on him since they were in At the drive-in.
man this is the only interview with tmv that theyre actually having fun, ahaha its hilarious
this is the best interview!! so great. so funny. I love to laugh and I love the Mars Volta! Thank you for uploading this!!
These guys seems like really cool people.
When rock and roll is true rock and roll it’s totally unpretentious.
I am eating cookies watching this
thanks for sharing
I just ate cookies before watching this lol
i want the same thing they smoked cuz they happy as hell haha
Lotsa bitchez!
@Kyle Sky Not at this time I think. They've stopped doing hard drugs after their bandmate and friend died from overdose ( still smoke pot )
Maybe they're just having a good time dude!
Nothing at this time they were really sober I also believe. This is around the time they were speaking with the quiji board
by this point that had really taken their drug use down many notches. they still smoked weed and used psychedelics creatively though
BRO THIS IS SO ICONIC THANK YOU SO MUCH
Cedric, what can you tell us about performing with Beto ___________?
This is the way how interviews must run,...the atmosphere is smooth,..funny,..no embarrassing breakes,...
This interview rocks.

i fuckin love cedric and omar, theyre just so adorablexD haha i like wanna pick up cedric and hug him.
Who here is still watching in 2021?
Wow. It's really great to see a band that isn't shocked by Nardwuar and is less off-put by him.
Best Nardwuar interview ever
Nah. The one he did with Kendrick Lamar is by far the best.
kendrick sucks
nah
Haha, I didn't even think the Jimi Hendrix bit was that funny, but Omar is just hilarious when he starts laughing and smiling!
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.
daaaamn that diss on jim
+crazygoji sad days :(

I gotta imagine this At The Drive-In reunion shows they've mended it.
But yeah that was low.
Fraid not Jim wasnt at any of the shows. I didnt even learn this till the day of concert but show was still kick ass. Feel bad for him thought hopefully hes out there making the music he wants to

xD! by far the best mars volta interview
i love their laughs
He's just tickling them silly with words.
Man theyre totally geeked out!!! They had to smoke some great shit to handle this kind of interview!
I love how he always says "MARS VOLTA !..." when theres a new question :D
So happy to see he interviewed the Mars Volta !!!! Yayy!!!😻😻
These guys are so underrated Frances The Mute is an incredible album
why was he so cold about jim, "he's a hard man to remember" thats kinda messed up i thought they were good friends oh well lol
05:34 "I prefer The Make-Up"
Genius response
bro why is their sense of humor exactly the same as Nardwuar's
Funniest interview I’ve seen from Nardwuar. At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta are awesome!
These guys are sick. Laughed the whole time
Love this band
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.
Cedric comes off as an asshole sometimes. Real scorpio energy.
They're either stoned AF or fryyiingggggg balls on some really good acid!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
I like that Nardwuar doesn't realize that the interaction at 8:37 was a dig at Jim Ward and not about Nardwuars' pronunciation.
@4:25
"What does Rick Ruben do? Does he just lye on the couch?"
bwahahaha
they have the nerdiest laughter, lolololololol
Fucking Cedric's hair man!! Shit is SOOOO crazy... Lolol!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯
They're laughing like they're on ecstasy.
Cedric wearing a Slayer shirt, fuck yeah
It says 'Krew'.
Sim, é um dos melhores entrevistadores que eu conheço.
That's a great interview 🙌
these mfs high as hell 😂
This looks like the “Frances the mute” era…. Good lord, what a powerhouse of an album!! Perfection
Bedlam, they mentioned Thomas the new drummer from Jada Pinketts metal band.
Nardwuar and Mars Volta = beautiful!!!!!!!!
Best interview.
The way they laugh...and the body language along with it...makes everything so much more funny.
It looks like they are acting lol.
Looks like a hotel dining room or where you can set up banquets or something at a hotel
They're so high lol
Nardwuar: Hello, Omar.
Omar: Hi.
Nardwuar: Welcome to Vancouver BC, Canada.
Omar: Hi.
LMAO
'I prefer the Make-Up'
Cedric has the best taste in music.
Wow my band that u had to understand after hearing one arm scissors, amazing album deloused in the crematorium one of few bits of muzic that I hold dearly love from the M Volta
Cedric and Omar are fucking great!
I wonder why they dissed ward like that seemed a lil cold blooded but they seem cool other than that a lil bit of musical snobs but still pretty nice
Me encanta cómo se rien, son unos tiernos
Thomas Pynchon is a Fantasy Omnipresent being of a writer. Would recommend.
Holy shit, Flight of the Conchords and Mars Volta would be a hell of a bill.
October 9th Milwaukee Wisconsin at the eagles club the mars volts woohoo 🤘🏾🇲🇽💯
