I just saw the crappiest band ever : MARS VOLTA

[Guest NWF owner]

Yesterday I went the System of a Down, IT KICKED ASS

The opening band was Bad Acid Trip, IT KICKED ASS TOO

but between those two good slice of bread was some rotten meat to ruin this good sandwich, The Mars Volta

That band seems to have a cult of fans and I just try to understand why people like this, maybe i didnt listened to it the good way so help me out

I mean the singer sounded like a girl (literally)

The guitarist was playing way too loud (and the vocal was way too low)

There was some keyboard but, didnt hear it

Those afro were so baddly done it looked fake (of maybe it is)

and the musical style...what the fuck were they doing between a deathcore band and SOAD...i wonder

anyway SYSTEM OF A DOWN KICKED THE CRAP OUT OF US AND IT WAS WELL APPRECIATED CAUSE THE MARS VOLTA FILLED US TIGHT WITH IT (crap)

So it was bad sound? You can't say a band are bad live because of bad sound, you twat.

And besides, the Mars Volta are fucking amazing live. So be quiet.

Oh, and SOAD suck.

[Summers]

I was with you Jook, til you said SOAD suck.

And for that comment, I hope your balls fall off.

[Jook]

I'm sorry Summers. They do suck though.

[Liam]

I can understand people not liking SOAD, but there is a difference between a band not being to your liking, and just outright sucking.

Same with Mars Volta, actually.

[Summers]

I'm sorry Summers. They do suck though.

They're better than TMV.

[Liam]

I'd say that they are both about the same...both are inventive for the types of music they do, and just cater for different audiences.

[therockbox]

SOAD are still better.

zOMG YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE THE MARS VOLTA RULE AND YOUR OPINIONS DON'T COUNT.

But SOAD suck because I said so!

[Liam]

I'm just looking at it from a totally neutral perspective, which is why I'd say they are both about the same. They are at the forefront of the music that they both produce, so to me, that makes them pretty equal. I'll probably listen to more SOAD, but I'd possibly argue that TMV are maybe the better band, as they do more complex/better songs, but meh, I'll stick to my original belief that they are as good as each other.

[therockbox]

Just because the songs are more 'complex' it doesn't make them better.

[Summers]

I was going to say this, but couldn't be bothered.

[apsham]

So.. isn't this just trolling?

[Liam]

I said "complex/better" as in, complex AND better. Not complex therefore better.

[Summers]

So what makes TMV's songs better?

[Herr Matzat]

if you don´t love the mars volta you fail in life and tast

[Guest Ringmaster]

Heh, rvdwannabe, the anti-elitist icon. And we love him for it. >_>

[K]

I can't stand The Mars Volta, it's whiny, pretentious, depressing, nonsense.

System Of A Down on the other hand, is exciting, upbeat, with a message.

What makes SOAD's songs better?

I'm just saying, that IMO, I'd probably prefer TMV's songs overall, as there is just more about them in my eyes, ergo they may be better to me. Obviously, you'd think SOAD's songs are better, because they do more for you, ergo, you'd think they are better.

I was just saying that realistically, they are on the same level in my eyes in the way that they are pushing forward the boundaries of the music they do, irrelevant of whether I slightly like one band more than the other.

EDIT: And IWC, it may be to you, but there are a lot more stuff thats more depressing than TMV in my eyes......I can't really see where that comes from....well, aside from parts of Frances The Mute.
