I worked for Music and Talent for MTV Latin America and worked on this show. I remember that I suggested we book them, nobody knew who they were but we went ahead and booked them. That performance at the Jackie Gleason Theatre now known as the Fillmore Miami Beach was one of the most amazing moments of my life. Everyone was blown away. What was so special is that Cedric lost his grandmother that day and had to take off immediately to El Paso after this performance. He was in a lot of pain. He brought the house down at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards Latin America.
Men this moment is criminally unsung as one of the best and most iconic rock performances of all time, and the zack words at the beginning makes it even more powerfull omg
@@Pre1321 The 2001-2004 era Volta aint about that. It was all about raw emotion for omar and cedric rather than musicianship, so don't expect a controlled and precise performance from this era. Go to 2005-2007 volta for that.
"Una banda que esta mas interesada en crear momentos que en crear hits, esta es esa banda y este el momento" que gran introducción de Zach de la Rocha.
King Dingus i'd even say singing is harder (i am keyboarder, guitarist and bassist) since the voice can be totally different from day to day and householding your breathe is building tone is much more complex than on an instrument where you buy the right stuff and build technique that will always apply. The good thing is as a singer you usually don't need to be very expertised eith theory. Basic modal theory is sufficient.
eblb: Uhm, vocals is kind of an instrument, it creates melody to the song. And a good singer know how to sing with guitar melody, bass, and drum rhythm, to make it all "one". Cedric does that, in a band that plays very complex music. So yeah, the dude is very talented musician who understands the music and band. And on top of that, knows how to be a frontman.
Both Cedric and Omar have been this way since ATD-I. It's what makes them such a fucking awesome band live. Never know what you're gonna get. Omar could start tap dancing on his guitar, Cedric wears your glasses as facial hair. It won't be boring.
I love Cedric's antics in this one, but imagine being the guy in the crowd. Some crazy looking dude you've never heard of, probably on drugs, plays this intense psychedelic, latin rock music, jumps in the crowd, kicks your date in the face, screaming about Lash of 1000 eyebrows clipping in your face, steals your glasses and chucks them in the crowd. I wouldn't know how to respond either.
Vector Ruse Dude, chill. Is anyone here being rude to each other? NO, just You. You can make up your point without having to add up negativity to it. And thanks for the correction, Punk, Rock and Roll, music... a music show like this kind should be fun, period.
+Blake Jones there's no negativity unless you get offended, im just saying if you're sensitive to things like what you see from the performance, then your a puritan (which there's nothing wrong with) you are what you are.
Vector Ruse How You think people should take that You call them puritans with no reason? Ok, at least when You explain it that way, sounds great. I love that performance. Peace and love.
I don’t think he is underrated the guy has been on the cover of Modern Drummer 3 Times, was rated #88 best drummer last year and if Dave Grohl says,”That Guy really blows me away,” and if “Jon is considered a modern day super drummer,” says Rollins Stone then you aren’t underrated. I had the pleasure of watch him play 2 1/2 hours at Bonaroo. He is a freaking Android. He arms were moving so fast at one point it was like I watching and old film with a low frame rate.
That was actually some of the most punk sh*t I've ever seen. Cedric just straight up took some expensive looking glasses and tossed them into the pit. With no fks given. A real Robin Hood moment lol I love Cedric.
Recuerdo haber visto esto en vivo en la tele. No conocía a la banda y lo primero que pensé fue ¡¡¿¿Quienes son estos tipos??! Quedé totalmente en shock. La onda de los sesenta de estos flacos histriónicos, más el porte latino y la descomunal descarga de energía. Fue como una inyección de adrenalina directo al cerebro. Obviamente me hice adicto a la banda
Maximiliano Gavilan me pasó exactamente lo mismo, aunque un amigo de banda ya me había hablado de ellos, quedé atónito. De ahí en adelante, ya no pude dejar de escucharlos.
En estos premios, ambos System of a down y the mars volta se presentaron hasta al ano de drogados y al cien de energía y al verlo de adolescente me derretio el cerebro, extraño esos dias donde MTV era música de verdad.
I'm pretty new to TMV, but I really miss the backing vocals in this track. I think it just completes the epic chorus and is kind of an answere to the "is anybody there?" - still great live performance :D
Recuerdo que escuche una sola canción y me compre el disco !!ja ja . Siempre estuve en busca de sonidos nuevos.... Los vi en este momento! Fueron Cómo un uracan! !!! Y terminaron de tocar y se fueron inmediatamente! ! Dejando a todos con la boca abierta! !!!
VoltaStuff You're everywhere :) You're the Mars Volta version of The clorox Bleach youtube channel LOL :) much love to ya brother. I totally get TMV and the obsession.
@imkeen He sings pretty damn good live when he isn't jumping around and tossing himself all around the stage. He runs out of breath and gets tried, but thats what makes Cedric himself, he comes with amazing energy that no band even shows any signs or glimpse of.
when you expose yourself to this band a lot you can get numb to all their antics so you kind of need to step back and really appreciate how much insane crazy shit is going on and how intensely creative they are. best fucking band in the world
I remember catching this live when I was 14 and having my mind thoughroughly blown. I love these early Mars Volta performances with their At The Drive-in antics
Una de las cosas que recuerdo de la previa de estos premios, fue ver a Cerati, a Molotov, a Cafe Tacvba y a otras bandas más diciendo que la banda que más querían ver en los premios eran TMV. Y acertaron!
I remember I was moving the day this was airing. I had to get my shit moved into my house, set up the tv and cable so I could catch it. Zack's intro gave me chills and the performance blew me away. such a great moment in music.
Y aquí fue donde vi esta banda por primera vez, en ese show de mtv. Desde entonces estaba buscando el nombre xD y hoy lo encontre.... rayos han pasado 10 años desde entonces...
Thank you, searching for this for 9 years. I turned this on right when Cedric ran into the crowd & snatched dude's shades, ha. Wonder if he got them back but bro had a hell of a story to tell.
@MrThoughtsfortoday They were the best performance of the night, and performances like this make you want to see them live. Some people prefer bands that sound just like the album while standing like statues on stage. I happen to love the chaotic energy that At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta provided, and so do many other people.
I absolutely love The Mars Volta, but I can't help feeling disappointed every time I hear one of their live performances. Aside from that they are total geniuses and their records are ace.
I fucking love this whole thing. De La Roca- "Here's a band that stands up for immigrants". The Mars Volta- Proceeds to play the craziest nonsensical shit you've ever heard about pig-smothered cries, rowing sheep smiling for the dead and the lash of 1000 eyebrows clicking while the singer steps on everybodys' faces and steals a dude's sunglasses. WTF. One of the greatest things ever to exist. De La Roca clearly thought he was introducing At The Drive-In.
These guys are just unfucking real!!!!! Hoping to see them in Daytone Beach this May!! I’m only 21 years overdue seeing them live but have loved them since this live performance!!
@FZmustacheFZ It's from the Latin Video Music Awards that originally aired live on MTV2. This particular video is taken from the re-airing of it on MTV. The MTV version was edited and used different camera angles from the original MTV2 airing.
cedric no desafina. es un tono raro, muy potente que está en falsete. muy pocos puden llegar a cantar en ese tono. pero no está para nada desafinado, por algo decían que era la mejor banda de esos tiempos.
@EvanTheMute If I remember correctly this was from the Latin Video Music Awards, and this particular version was from the MTV broadcast. The original broadcast aired on MTV2, had different camera angles, and was not edited.

Chocolate Thunder is my fav TMV drummer.

Did he return the sunglasses to that dude?

@@paichaz I don't think he did. He might have given them to someone else hahaha.

I doubt we will ever see anything broadcast on mainstream TV as intense and creative as they were. Controlled chaos at it's finest
It would help it Cedric wasn't wildly out of key.

Quite possibly the best band of our generation.
of all time
"Una banda que esta mas interesada en crear momentos que en crear hits, esta es esa banda y este el momento" que gran introducción de Zach de la Rocha.
Y qué verdad! Casi 20 años después, la historia demuestra lo grande que es esta banda.
la mejor introduccion de una banda rockera en la historia del rock
Omar and Cedric's musicianship is always noted but let's mention their showmanship. It's like James Brown and Carlos Santana's youth.
You lost credit at Cedric's musicianship.
***** But what instrument is he playing? If you consider Vocals an instrument then I agree with you.
King Dingus i'd even say singing is harder (i am keyboarder, guitarist and bassist) since the voice can be totally different from day to day and householding your breathe is building tone is much more complex than on an instrument where you buy the right stuff and build technique that will always apply.

That's what Rock and Roll, Punk music and this sort of music shows should be about! Drugs or not.
It's called punk, and if you're a puritan of course your not going to know how to respond. for me it would have been cool if he took my glasses.
Vector Ruse Dude, chill. Is anyone here being rude to each other? NO, just You. You can make up your point without having to add up negativity to it. And thanks for the correction, Punk, Rock and Roll, music... a music show like this kind should be fun, period.

rockstar8416 by the way he is on Dec 2017 cover of Modern Drummer so...
Jamie Clements lol
Infinitely talented sure but underrated? I mean what year is this really guys c'mon now
He was way better than Thomas 'i gotta hit as many drums as possible per bear' Pridgen
never seen cedric so calm before ...
That was actually some of the most punk sh*t I've ever seen. Cedric just straight up took some expensive looking glasses and tossed them into the pit. With no fks given. A real Robin Hood moment lol I love Cedric.
he aquí a una de las bandas más grandes de los últimos veinte años
totalmente de acuerdo, para mi la mejor banda surgida en los 00´s
falso, de los últimos 30.
@Matias Análisis UFC / MMA ,al menos dijo una verdad, tu no has dicho nada...
this has to be one of the greatest live tv performances i've seen

same tbh
Recomienden bandas parecidas, con ese contenido explosivo y constante
nostel con descartes a kant, les butcheretes
Jesús Rodríguez Otras jaja, gracias a Lee butvherettes conocí TMV, aunque no creo que haya ninguna que tenga este mismo estilo
Jon Theodore is the man!
You may be high, but you'll never be "stole some guys sunglasses and wore them as a mustache high".
Jon Theodore man!! he is a powerfull drummer and he plays now with QOTSA.
3:42 Cedric gets this guy glasses and absolutely zero fucks were given
Solo puedo decir...PUTA MADRE, MIS OÍDOS EMPEZARON A ESCUCHAR CUANDO CONOCÍ DE THE MARS VOLTA, GRACIAS! TOTALES...
En estos premios, ambos System of a down y the mars volta se presentaron hasta al ano de drogados y al cien de energía y al verlo de adolescente me derretio el cerebro, extraño esos dias donde MTV era música de verdad.
Enjoy… and keep going and help when you can everyone.
The guy with the missing sunglasses might be "I lost my sunglasses at The mars volta show"
I'm pretty new to TMV, but I really miss the backing vocals in this track. I think it just completes the epic chorus and is kind of an answere to the "is anybody there?" - still great live performance :D
Jonianer Wholeheartedly agree for what it's worth
Just stopping by to watch Jon play drums 🙌
3:42...dude sounds absolutely demented, it's fantastic
Many fans have something the musicians gave them as a souvenir. This gentleman has something that was TAKEN away from him. As a souvenir.
straight jacked your shades homeboy haha
Haha! Dude be like, "Those are $200 shades amigo! Give them shits back!"
Ver esto en vivo y en directo me cambiò la vida, literalmente.
Pd: 1:43 Classic
Recuerdo que escuche una sola canción y me compre el disco !!ja ja . Siempre estuve en busca de sonidos nuevos.... Los vi en este momento! Fueron Cómo un uracan! !!! Y terminaron de tocar y se fueron inmediatamente! ! Dejando a todos con la boca abierta! !!!
3:58 i never noticed ikey jumping at the end
Me too
You stole that dudes glasses tho lol great performance
VoltaStuff You're everywhere :) You're the Mars Volta version of The clorox Bleach youtube channel LOL :)
much love to ya brother. I totally get TMV and the obsession.
He's jumping on a spring reverb effect or an amp, you can hear the springs crashing. Surf's up!
@imkeen
He sings pretty damn good live when he isn't jumping around and tossing himself all around the stage. He runs out of breath and gets tried, but thats what makes Cedric himself, he comes with amazing energy that no band even shows any signs or glimpse of.
I wouldn't accept any less from them. What a good performance.
Cedric’s dance moves are some of the best in the biz 🕺
when you expose yourself to this band a lot you can get numb to all their antics so you kind of need to step back and really appreciate how much insane crazy shit is going on and how intensely creative they are. best fucking band in the world
Zack de la Rocha and Mars Volta. This must be heaven...

I've never seen that kind of energy and threatening aura in a music performance ever since
I've never been disappointed when I've seen them live, I think it's hard to record them live because there's so much going on.
I'm so obsessed with this band
Without doubt the best performance at an award show ever!

Cedric es el mejor frontman que vi en mi vida, el tipo hace piruetas, locuras, y no para de agitar, hacían un show muy entretenido en todo sentido.
Y aquí fue donde vi esta banda por primera vez, en ese show de mtv. Desde entonces estaba buscando el nombre xD y hoy lo encontre.... rayos han pasado 10 años desde entonces...
tenias que buscar en internet todas las bandas que se presentaron en los premios
rayos que triste :( ya ni si quiera estan juntos
Nunca es tardes para escuchar de loused in comatorium, es un clasico.

a truly great performance. no one else like em.

Adelantados a su epoca, seguro seran los idolos de mis hijos... y eso espero.
Epic dopeness, zach announcing, great success.!!
Quote possibly the best, most "fuck what you expect" performance I've ever seen or heard :$

Gustavo Cerati y Mars Volta en una misma noche? Que lindo debió haber sido ♥️♥️
This is the best fuckin band of all time during this time hands down...
Hahah that's we the best show I've ever seen! Hahaha
recuerdo habewrlo visto en vivo... realmente impresionante.

holy shit a few seconds in, looking at Omar and Jon, i thought i had the video speed up turned on, like X1.3
Im gonna miss that band... RIP TMV
How did I not know about this before today?
Holy Shit, that was awesome!
God, they were a fucking hurricane. They just wrecked that shit and left. Playing complex music with a "idgaf" punk rock steez. Love it.
Then you'll love the Dillinger Escape Plan. Check those guys out...
so it has been nearly 10 years wow
well said, zack
legend gig
Yes love it .
I love the part when Cedric Took the glasses from that Bald Boring Ba-Star-d. I still miss at the drive-in...
