Yea i like volta and all, but they sucked live...i think its a combination of the sound and all being set up for chili peppers adn their new is not the kinda stuff to be played live....it might be decent off a cd but live, it sucks.

you know that bands like that hav their own gear and sound guy right?...

well there are still definately differences in stage crap for opening bands and the main bands..they dont get the full setup they want..whether im a retard about stage equipment and setup or not, they were not good live.

I dont even listen to volta truthfully, I just checked out their cd from the library when I kept seeing the frances the mute posters all over the downtown record shop.

well, i wouldnt judge The Mars Volta solely on Frances The Mute....their first cd is much better, although Frances is decent...

For some reason I have a suspicion that everyone saying Mars Volta sucks live either hasn't been to many shows, or saw them at a big arena. I saw them early last year after Frances came out at a relatively small club and I thought they were stellar.

Fuck, other than RHCP, i never heard of any of the bands mentioned. Shit, i gotta get out of the house more often.
