Back in the day we used to describe them as if Led Zeppelin and Santana had a music baby and it’s the Mars Volta so damn good

I find Cedric's voice one of the most mesmerizing and powerful male voices in rock. I also love his humble affect in interviews. This band's eclectic creativity is astounding.

That opening solo is insane.

Oh man that slow salsa part is sultryyyyy.

R.I.P Larry Harlow. He did guest piano on this song and was one of Omar's biggest influences. Worth checking out for his enthusiastic and fiery piano playing. One of the greats!

Anyone notice how the rock sounding part is sung in Spanish and the Spanish sounding part is sung in English?

I remember standing in a kitchen wearing a blood sugar sex Magik shirt at a party and a guy came up to me and said I love that album! Do you play music? I said yeah I sing and play guitar he said I’m a drummer I play in a band called Mars Volta I remember thinking...that’s a weird name lol drank a beer smoked a joint with him we talked about Frusciante’s solo albums and then went our separate ways...I saw RHCP on the stadium Arcadium tour a few years later and the Mars Volta were the opening band lol

Don't speak two words in Spanish properly but this makes me sound like a pro ever since I first sang it. Thank you Guitar Hero World Tour! Loved this song ever since!

I mean, this song has Cedric, Omar, John Frusciante and Larry Harlow. That makes it objectively one of the best songs ever.

I still remember the 13 year old nu-metal kid being really fascinated by how this song overthrew her concepts of what rock music is when it came on the radio. Still grateful for how Mars Volta led me to greater music, and Frances the Mute is my absolute favourite of their albums.

This isn't even the full version and its still amazing, every second of it. They really should be more recognized. Their vision is endless and their musical talent would make most musical artists drool. Honestly, the amount of creativity that goes into every song, along with the time and effort and talent, its just unheard of. The Mars Volta is the must underrated band in the world and they should be more appreciated. They are musical, lyrical, artistic geniuses and I love them

tengo 60 años y ya casi ni bailo ni me puedo mover, pero el bit de esta madre me curo el cancer la ipertencion y la diabetes. 10/10

This song is kinda funny for me since my grandma's name is Elvia Vasquez... close enough

There is a special place in hell for the people who dare to cut John Frusciante`s solo.

Soy hispanohablante y no se que cojones dice... PERO EL GRUPO ES LA OSTIA

La versión de más de 11 minutos es exquisita. Estoy obsesionada con esta rola gracias al amor de mi vida. 💜

We took acid many years ago and listened to this album front to back. During this song, we were creeping through the town. When ever the salsa-like quite parts came, we would take cover and hide

it’s 2020 & i still play this song on guitar hero 😂

Cuando combinas el rock con la salsa. Obra maestra 🤩

This song is the absolute jam. I could listen to this for days!

VIVA LA VOLTA!!! These guys rock... if i can see them live every year for at least the next ten (as i have for the last 6 or 7 yrs or so, ive lost count) ill be a very happy man... much appreciated

Me acuerdo de escuchar este tema cuando lo pasaban por la tele... cuando mtv pasaba música! que lindo volver a escucharlo.

This song still rips sooo hard 15 years later.

Idk what he's saying but it sounds fucking rad

Santana meets Zeppelin, and then some. (:- o)

Like si viniste a escucharlo en 2022 pero lo oíste en el 2005 y te voló la cabeza. Tenía 25 años en ese entonces. Buen show cuando vinieron a tocar a Argentina 💜💕

I kept thinking “this is more avant-grade than John Frusciante, until I realized that’s exactly who it is

These guys are amazing. If this isn't music then hell, I don't know what is.

The opening of this video was possibly one of the best things I've seen all day.

I love the visuals in the video.

this song is freaking amazing

The musicianship in this song is amazing. These are talented humans right here.

The Latin parts are so good, they should make an album in that style, it's like oye Como va on peyote

This band is more than a reflection of an era. It is a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A decadent wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the absolute. This sound architecture is a short tunnel that leads to light.

outstanding. one of the most beautiful songs ever, done in a pure mars volta way. will probably never tire of it.

I lived in a really run down group home in my early teens and I had a friend who really came through with an Ipod Shuffle and this album was on there with a few other (now) staple albums for me. I remember vividly not having a way to charge my iPod except for an extra CPU they had lying around. Id lay in my shitty little bed right next to the thing with headphones blasting. I truly don't know how i would've made it through that as an angsty depressed teen if it wasn't for the way bands like this helped me.

So I play the video and I'm eaten by a bird. 10/10.

Everyone's talking about the guitar solos and vocals and meanwhile I'm just here digging that bass riff most of all.

eu ouvi essa música pela primeira vez aos 17 anos. com 33 anos continuo ouvindo. The Mars Volta é fantástico.

Siempre vengo a escuchar esta canción cuando la recuerdo luego de haberla conocido en el guitar Hero World tour. Una de las canciones que más se me pegaron

First heard this song in 2007 when I was 7 years old, first heard Volta one year prior. 10 years later, still loving it as the first time I heard it.

When i first found out about you guys i was frustrated. In south jersey: WDOX never palyed the artist/title for the songs they ran. It took me almost 8 years to find Pearl Jam's cover of Crazy Mary. It Took me a little longer (almost a year) to find invalid Litter Dept. it put me to sleep with a feeling of content throughout Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom. Thank you for loving music, and being lucky enough to find each other. The rest i shall not speak.

i remember i listened to this while tripping off DXM and it was trippy af

This video and Larry Harlow's composition are simply magnificent

Whoever did this music video is fucking brilliant. I cant stop watching it

Amazing classic during our time

First time i heard this song like...2 years ago, I was SO hypnotized by it's sound. I started playing it ALL THE TIME! I've never FELT a song this STRONGLY before. I'm glad I'm revisiting this absolute masterpiece!

This song and video burned itself into my mind with the vocals, instrumentals, and surreal visuals when I first saw in televised way back when... I don't think I'll ever forget it, and I'm thankful to have seen it.

This is just a perfect piece of art, the best way to describe what universe energy communicates thru 2 persons who just receives this energy and creates this type of perfectly balanced masterpiece!!!

i wont forget who i'm looking for

Esta canción es un himno. Usar rock y añadirle influencia de salsa nunca se había oído tan genial.

feel sorry for anyone who didn't get to see them live.

No sé porqué una canción tan buena como está no tiene tantas vistas..

I had been looking for this song for about 15 years. I couldn't remember the tune, the name, band, nothing. Except the word 'claymore' which I was begging to doubt was even there but a pursued a few unrelated rabbit holes tonight and I found it. It's kind of epic yet sad the journey is over

no bueno !! esto lo escuché cuando tenía 16 años. Ahora estoy a todo volumen!

I'm 28 now but hmm let's see I saw them twice in concert once when they played with system of a down,2nd best concert I've ever seen rage against the machine being number one. I was like 18 or 19 when I saw Mars volta. I still love them. Helped me through some dark days

The Mars Volta have always reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth

Excelente tema para la tarde de sábado. Tiene un ritmo tan propio que es incomparable a cualquier otra canción

Hands down one of the most amazing performances I've ever witnessed

i absolutely love these guys! all time favorite album!

Una de sus mejores canciones!

Se me recordó la canción. Todo el día en la cabeza, tremenda canción 😎

from some kind of samba to rock and then pop rock... the last few days I have been trying to find mixed genre music and I am finally getting somewhere... pretty interesting... it also has some kind of ska/reggae element... very interesting find :)

Guitar Hero WT, highschool...memories come back instantly...

This band should have been SUPER FAMOUS! The music is outstanding!

Lost transmission from the one armed scissor.

the band, out of this world..

I first heard this when I was little....man these guys were ahead of thier time!

So freakin' epic!

We're in 2020 and I still love this song. Mather a fact I love it more every time I ear it!

amo este grupo

I've seen these guys live twice. They are awesome and can really rock a set!

Ladies and Gents, the modern day Zeppelin. These dudes deserve to be WAY bigger.

I like the flip-flop in lyrics along with music. Spanish for the Rock, and English for the Spanish music. Sick!

Brutal que grupo más bueno, son excelentes artistas.

Sheesh, I forget how mf genius this song is. Blew my face off. Coño ese ritmo de una salsa abajo de los drums and crazy prog guitar uuuffff! I'll always be L'via in my heart and to some people no matter how many years pass. Lvia Lviaquez Forever & ever

crazy curly guys

i had a friends brother introduce me to these guys with this album on 420. we sat in her room and smoked an ounce with him and i was blown away between the epic melt your face rock and the sound effects and the complete changes of music style in the same songs. its got it all. this album will forever be one of the greatest albums in rock history hands down

excelente tema! ...graciass!!

Awesome tune, but this shorter version missed the best breakdown in the middle of the song

Años de no oir esta cancion ...

I love this song!

I have a big grin for the people who listen to the actual full length version of this song.

this bands groovy

I fckin love how that guitar sounds...

Mars Volta grandes Hippies!!!! escuchandoles en el 2018!!!!

El Paso TX representin' all over the world

Esto es ARTE!!!

Soy de España y la primera vez que escuché esta canción fué en el Guitar Hero World Tour y la verdad es que me encantó esta canción. Tiene bastante ritmo 👍

I am watching this video under LSD and it finally made sense

ese break down de danzòn! ❤️❤️❤️

L'Via Hija de Miranda, Tu Apellido se cambió L'Via Sin ojos me quieres dar Una historia sin mi madre Sólo tengo que decirte El dolor de noche dice Sólo se quedo el vestido Le lavé la sangre L'Via No dejes de descansar En la calle caminas ¿Quién te va a perseguir? L'Via Te quieren matar Dientes de Machete Cabeza de gallo L'Via Durmiendo en paz Abre los ojos, Todo cambiará L'Via Soñando de venganza Y yo te juro Lo van a pagar Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain The ones they tightly wrapped in tape In her eraser sang the guilty As it made the best mistakes And with everybody that I find And with every claymore that they mine I won't forget who I'm looking for Oh mother help me I'm looking for L'Via Hija de Miranda, Tu apellido se cambió L'Via Sin ojos me quieres dar Una…

This has to be the best song on Guitar hero world tour!

Bringing in the New Years with this sweet ass jam!!!

I don’t know why, but this song just came back to my mind after a couple hot minutes.

GUITAR HERO : WORLD TOUR !!!

The imagery in this video is astounding, especially the quick flash at 1:20. I'm still trying to figure out this album and put all the pieces together. It's a masterpiece.

QUE BUEN ROLON !!! MUY PERO MUY EXCELENTES ARTISTAS

Great sound... Great voice.... I hope they ll make much more songs like that sound .

Based on the rhythm and instruments used, what you here at 3:42 falls under the genre of Cuban Bolero. However, there are different types of Bolero (as different types of jazz) because many have fusions. This one in particular is a bolero that is very closely related to Salsa music. Here is a perfect example of this genre in its pure form: /watch?v=2_vcw-VEKRM Cheers and hope that helps :)
