At The Drive-In Brought THE DRAMA Everywhere they went

[@dpclerks09]

Dude, I get it when you're pseudo-mocking them saying they're "trying to be the principals" when discouraging moshing, but specifically at Big Day Out they were the canary in the coalmine. They tried to warn the herd, who probably held the same attitude of thinking they were trying to be "bossed around" by the "principals" and look what happened. It's about situational awareness and a basic modicum of empathy and compassion for your fellow human beings around you. Rest in Peace Jessica Michalik ❤

[@LecherousFrenchman]

This kid clearly learned everything about music and ATDI from the internet. So little of what he mentions mattered when the band was around. Who called them the Q-Tip boys?

[@withinthrall1445]

It ain’t that deep

[@bobfrapples1208]

I remember when in/Casino/out came out in 98. I got a free cassette. no idea who they were. I swear that that tape never left my car's tapedeck for a year. It's a masterpiece.

Never got into Sparta. But that first Mars Volta record blew me away

[@oddblood-]

Such a shame that first album Wire Tap Scars is amazing you should really give it a chance Its literally At the drive in minus Cedric and Omar. That album is a no skip.album for me .

[@drownthepoor]

@@oddblood- The follow-up album is also a masterpiece. Porcelain I think it's called? I never could get into Mars Volta.

[@deadbeats4894]

Definitely ahead of their time and underrated, I love At the Drive-in. Nobody sounded like them. Their EP Vaya and album Relationship of Command are fkn great. Honestly I don't mind that they broke up because we got The Mars Volta, incredible live shows. Just got my ticket for September, first time seeing them since 2005, I can't wait.

[@tinflowers]

Agree. I got tix for Red Rocks in Oct. Last time I saw Cedric and crew live was opening for SOAD back in 2005.

[@DominickChirchirillo]

Could've been the biggest band of 98/99/00. Fucking great live band, great musicians. Total showmen that strutted their stuff. I saw them back then at the Metro in Chicago. VAYA fucking killed.

[@trashcanjam]

The set up keeps evolving and woooooo

[@jayfermin7449]

The reason they didn't like people moshing is because they had a death occur during one of their sets.

[@mattg082]

I was at the video shoot for One Arm scissor video. The same production company that put on shows for my band associated invited my band. I walked in behind Mike D, and they made him pay to get in. He seem kind of stunned, and seem brief argument held us up but his handler paid the $10. Pretty much watched the show with my friend, Mike D and his handler guy chatting about music. Then I saw them without all the crazy cameras and celebs around…smaller gig with the Murder City Devils and sat on side of stage. It was a very dead crowd but they put on a good performance. Fest fwd and I see the Mars Volta thing. Went to a show and was blown away. Then I worked Bonaroo for Trent Reznor (lots of friends in common from New Orleans back then) and Mara Volta ends up being the opener before NIN. The drummer was a bit newer for them, younger and kind of disrespectful. He kept getting pissed people had cameras in the crowd. Cedric was staring me down like I’m an asshole, they wrecked the trailer. I had to kick out two groupies that couldn’t hold it together. And the band refused to use the normal entry and kept jumping the fence in. Plus the trailer got wrecked, and the drummer was rolling blunts on NIN outside setup for meet and greets…I thought that was a bit disrespectful. Trent didn’t really talk to them at all, like avoided them completely. But he was very chummy with me and the rest of the crew. Not sure if bad blood there for some reason? Those are my run ins with them from 99-2010. Good music, but singer came off as an asshole and the guitar player as just a very nice shy dude focused on his work. They seem to get way more serious towards Mars Volta and Cedric dropped the asshole attitude as far a I could see as the years went by. I probably sound like a dinosaur but I’m 40. I was about 16 for the At The Drive in Times, but got into the shows due to the production company that booked my band. I was around 25 during the Mars Volta stuff.

Dan, At the Drive In were phenomenal!! Great vid, I remember downloading some songs from the big day out from limewire back 20 years ago and being amazed at how wild they were on stage! I always wondered what happened. Thanks! 🥞🥞🥞

They killed off ATDI so we can have Volta 🤘🏻 Can’t wait to see them again soon. Been too damn long

[@williamgatesenson]

Omar only played bass on Acrobatic Tenement, that was another reason why that album sounded so different from their later output

[@trashcanjam]

They just need to pull out the Quija board again, so that they can unsell their souls.

[@jasontodd6605]

[@chimpooey9083]

I love ATDI and bought the album from Grand Royal who tacked on extra fees so they could "keep the lights on" (they literally said that in an email to me) and then proceeded to inundate me with spam until I had to block them. There was NO unsubscribe button, no customer service, just an onslaught of unwanted advances by Mike D. and company. Mars Volta is OK.

[@karlmay5306]

I saw ATDI at Big Day Out on the Gold Coast, and with the power of hindsight it was pretty obviously a band on their last legs. It was scrappy and antisocial but not in a fun way.

[@kevinblessing4257]

Relationship of Command is a perfect album. Front to back it slaps and doesn't stop. One of the best bands ever

[@kangdiamond4358]

Saw them in 2000? First time they came to the UK on the back of major hype in the mainstream alternative media coverage.. Very good live show but I remember the 'anti mosh' centiments most 😂

[@TheJinjo75]

wait!! Another Limp Bizkit festival tragedy???

[@danframpt0n]

Yeah, somehow this one was worse than Woodstock

[@clubluv]

“Super made fun of” “Afros” made them unique. “Big big hairs” “Giant Afros” “On the underground” “They’re the Christian dad” Just stop

[@moonstatue9657]

Love at the drive in so much. REALLY recommend looking into some of bootlegs of them playing in the late 90s especially the legendary performance in a Pennsylvania school house

[@trashcanjam]

Such a crazy story

[@TravisBeckMusic]

❤️ this band and during middle/ high school I went down the whole rabbit hole and got obsessed! Just saw TMV live for first time this last year and it was amazing!

[@robbiepellagreen]

It's absolutely wild that these guys were poised and primed to take over the music world, yet so few people know a thing about them, let alone who they even are. Can't remember how I even came to first know them back in the day as an Aussie, but I feel so lucky that I did. Channel V were probably playing them as much as they could.

[@lessthanpinochet]

I still listen to In/Casino/Out, Vaya and Relationship of Command. Mars Volta and Sparta had their moment but ATDI was special.

[@davidblank420]

Selling out sounds rad tho!!! You mean I get more money for doing shittier work? Let's fucking go bruv.

[@nt1448]

Extremely thorough history of the band and information is well-compiled. Information you would have to scour the Internet for is summarised well in this video. My only constructive feedback would that at 12:55 you mention "Mental health or whatever"--I wish you could expound on this more because there is more reason behind it if it influenced them to hiatus/disband. Nonetheless, a very informative video overall which I will be sharing to other ATDI fans. Thank you & keep up the good work!

[@MisterDamocles]

The brightest star often has the shortest lifespan. This is why to this day for me ATDI will always be one of my top 3 bands.

[@alfredoortiz6756]

In El Paso, Texas, they played very interesting places. Jim Ward is a die-hard El Pasoan!

💜 kinda like their unofficial spokesperson/defence 😊 you are brilliant . Loved how At The Drive In forged their path and how u tell it. Thank you. RTAM, Iggy, Mike D Beastie and more. Love how souls gravitate to each other. I searched One Armed Scissor for the thousandth time. And this vid comes up 🔥

[@oui2611]

accurate. very well said dude. Great band. The split was inevitable. you could clearly see how the 2 dudes with afros where more connected with each other than the rest of the group ps: i like the mars volta better because im weird and i like weird music, but at the drive in could had been as big as nirvana but they chose their integrity over selling out and thats respectable

[@MrIke86]

Love the series, but gotta ask if this is a rough translation of the ATDI chapter in Dan Ozzi’s “Sellout?”

[@johnjlongo]

Music journalism still exists!? haha fuck yeah well done dude!

[@oddblood-]

They had a choke hold on the scene like no one ever did and probably since. And then it was over. But then I'll never forget I was riding in my home boys car smoking a blunt when he put this CD in that someone had left in the car it was a blank burnt CD and I was like either I'm high as fuck or that's AT THE DRIVE-IN it drove me crazy not knowing what this CD was and finally I found out that Cedric and Omar had started a new band called The Mars Volta and that album blew me away it was an Instant classic. But ya ....AT THE DRIVE-IN

[@igydkygs00kwhi]

Whats your favorite/the best at the drive in album or song?

[@rascaltuff]

this is a tough one: i’m glad they didn’t get huge cuz the music definitely would’ve suffered. at the same time it sucks how shit when down. ATDI are amazing. you could play them for someone today & they’d think it was a new band. that’s how well they held up. but i don’t agree with the no moshing thing. obviously mosh based tragedies are horrible-some of these boys get overzealous and aren’t aware that not everyone is as tall as them -but it just makes ATDI look pretentious. like “WE can rollick about the stage but YOU must stand still and listen to this very important song we wrote” anyway. in my opinion: mars volta was cool for the virtuosity aspect but that’s about it. sparta sucks.

[@oddblood-]

Ya your tripping if u think Sparta sucks I know music is subjective but their first album WIRE TAP SCARS was so good its a no skip album for me I don't get how anyone can be such a big ATDI fan and not like that album it's literally ATDI they still have that unique sound idk if u have actually given it a chance but you should but ya after that album They only have like 2 songs I like.

[@andywowlace]

I was at the BDO show in 2001. They were the reason I was there. ROC was intense. I was like 19 or 20. To this day when I listen it makes me wanna break shit. ATDR absolutely delivered. I can still remember it. Cedric called us sheep. They were loose and wild but still sounded like the record. The energy was crazy and the tension in the crowd was palpable. Everyone knew we were watching history. It remains one of the best shows I've ever seen. The record remains in the top 5 of all time. These guys were a flash. They burnt so bright. And for a moment they captured perfection. I'll never forget ATDI. 🫶🤘
