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.
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.
