FREAKBEAT: The Mars Volta, part 1

[@Pastafield]

you can tell he has thought about that first question before. In his mind he was probably like "YES!! I've been preparing for this moment

[@keaton223]

"Never heard a man speak like this man before" love it!

[@TheMagnathorax]

He is very intelligent and understands the true beauty of music. Thats probably what makes TMV so great.

[@guitaoist]

thank you jesus for omar and cedric

[@omarcuevasrivera9419]

guitaoist amen!

[@profeshxhobo]

oh my god, i have fallen even more in love with Omar. he is so perfecttttttt!! gaahhhh

[@abarbar06]

4:05 Haha i cracked up when he said that "The bible is an incredible. uh.. little story"

[@LA41792]

"The Bible is an incredible little story" I dig that.

[@Barncore]

Wow one of the GREAT interviews of Omar. So grateful!!

[@tarantism]

after 10 seconds i laughed out loud "what do you like about music?" hahaha

[@ahmetcangokceer]

great interview! Such free questions, I like music interviews that are either super nerdy or not nerdy at all. And this style of non-nerdy really lets the interviewee speak their world. love it love it

[@mikmack86]

Amazing interview. Thanks for not asking typical questions!

[@DeLoused777]

I like how she answers at the end. :)

[@MrTrinix]

He is with god when he plays guitar!

[@remedyzskate]

music is just a feeling, feeling creates time signatures

[@Tanga26927]

Omar têm faces mais do que músico, de uma pessoa com muita inteligência, profunda mirada crítica da vida e grande sentido comúm. Nao em vao ele gosta também de outras expressoes da arte como o cinêma. Grande criador! Adoro ele. A menina , podía ter perguntado muito melhor.

[@shitoryu8]

Omar is one smart dude....he makes more sense than any priest, reverend, or any religious person, i totally believe in everything he says

[@doyltruddy902]

He's such a loveable dork

[@spikedbasser5]

i love that bowl of fruit

[@Ocult09]

Omar es un maestro, como persona. Es humilde y un pensador.!! Is a Real musician.

[@OfficialDBDClan]

I am so proud of myself for having so much in common with Omar

[@nickjimenez4262]

Dont know alot about volta. Got turned on many years ago to Widow while i was in the worst of my addiction. Love their work.

[@Tanga26927]

Omar es una persona con sentido común y un artista completo. Su opinión sobre la religión no molesta ni ofende, es solo su opinión que responde a las preguntas desperdiciadas por la entrevistadora. Debería haber preguntado más por la obra de Omar.

[@xavierlongoria4562]

gorgeous and very intelligents interviewers

[@jmmatos23]

I can't belive how Omar says such good things about God having recorded Amputechture.... that's just beyond me, specially for the song Asilos Magdalena. Any help please?

[@brunovianamusic]

Does Omar have input on lyrics? I think that's Cedric's lane, so maybe that's his own look on God. Or maybe Omar kinda agrees with him on that? Anyway, the lyrics are cryptic enough to mislead us or simply have double meaning or things like that. It's not that they're literal.

[@kupk6125]

wisest man ever holy shit

[@DesireeRodela]

Musical Genius

[@merrymadi]

Yeah the first question was pretty unimaginative, but Omar answered it beautifully - he tries to make the best of the situation he has. Less creative artists will give a bland answer to a bland question, but Omar's mind is always going a mile a minute.

[@sharpshizz]

merrymadi it actually was a simple honest inquiry. Don’t be negative

[@xthree311elevenx]

"I know only about what makes me feel good" ::checks pocket to make sure drugs are still there::

[@resoundingsource6595]

🤣🤣how is this not the same top comment?? Well played 😝

[@absolodot6618]

This person is an idol

[@johndoran2095]

fucking genius

[@ChaostheClown]

Genius.

[@fo0dnippl3]

@sonobecube That's actually a pretty apt analogy. Jackson Pollock was praised for his art even though he just spattered paint on a canvas. Since I think Pollock's work is mostly a load of baloney, I can see where you're coming from.

[@catinmysoup]

this is actually one of the more interesting interviews omar's given, if not the most interesting. you'll start hearing the same old shit soon enough with other interviews, so don't worry

[@dapunkof1975]

Omar keepin it real

[@KidAeon]

when he says "God is Love" he is referring to the Love as synonymous w/ "True Will". Where The Will is the impetus to move us in a harmonious manner in relation to all the other stars of the universe.

[@antibalas79]

[@blindpimp76]

LOLOLOL the bible is an incredible little story. hahaha i couldn't agree more Omar!

[@FuzzyAnkles]

i like his vibra :)

[@cobrasaboteur1]

@lighting92000 that was william blake not huxley. doors of perception (huxley's book) took its title from blake's poem the marriage of heaven and hell.

[@freestylegamer23]

That's so true lol

[@IntuitiveMediums]

"the bible is an incredible little story" HAHAHHAHHA

[@ulisesfonseca7937]

So lucid!!!

[@DeadeyesX311]

he is one step ahead from the typical christians who take the bible literally

[@txnhb]

just one? i would say he's light years ahead as a human in general from your average person.

[@geoff1121]

RESPECT

[@ccaaaiiooo]

no words

[@TotallyHorsed]

He just like me fr fr

[@fo0dnippl3]

@sonobecube Whether his music sounds "messy" is a judgment on your part. That's the way he plays it and if it goes out as a final product then that's how he wants people to hear it.

[@allanshandy]

Es como escuchar una voz mas de Jodorowsky. Dios tambien es mujer.

[@frooshante]

she digs him very a lot.

[@MerkaBot23]

TRUE ... TRUE...

[@FuryoftheSound]

@mwelto27 I don't think he is, he's was just using examples

[@KidAeon]

im not over analyzing..Im paraphrasing what he's said in other interviews. He's studied Aleister Crowley's Book of the Law which people recognize immediately when he's talking about this shit.

[@marsyvolty1]

similar to the "dissapearance of the universe" type beliefs ... wow ... didnt know that

[@CursedRecordingsUK]

Hello? Based department?

[@phoenix02200]

@TheMerksquad gifted I guess

[@kubiksahara3801]

Human existence in general, his life.... is a independent product, dependent on the natures form, bounded with its reflective sides. For example, like a book, or any other product,... and during this bit, human over goes horizons in an infinite way, as he lives and perceives; and then it ends, and a life of a human being cuts off. Human is aware of his restrictions,... and he is not afraid of reaching his last breath in the structure of the book, matrix. The point of this.... is not fear, but the development from these formal nature restrictions. It is advisable to create not one, but many forms of these divisions, as many "books" as possible, while you live, for them to lose their power of myth for a human being, and then a human can extract from himself, the alien which is bored with a human view on life. Existing in a duality format, limit, human must use it to get out. Make a resolution about and from this transparent dual medulla. Bias of human life is ubiquitous. You become a victim of natures society.

[@jmmatos23]

Love is of God before it was of humans, and hate is the opposite of love. How can be God the opposite of what he is?

[@phoenix02200]

@Tomraaff Well it wasn't that difficult to understand xD but I get what you mean, atleast he gave out good answers unlike other people that just give off some sloppy answer xD

[@Bastiolo48]

I absolutely can't stand that when I search for "omar rodriguez lopez interview" that half of the hits are about Jennifer Lopez :S

[@stratocastermaster2]

well see on part 2 lol

[@monsieurgrunt]

haha "the bible is an incredible little story".omars one bad dude

[@ondinnonk]

Omar has kids?

[@rhcp211]

@gypsyroute666 Well, if you think about how big the bible is compared to how much the human mind can hold, it is infinitesimally small.

[@GuitaryRigo]

The bible is an incredible, little story.. lol

[@Crowz91]

cocaine is hell of a drug ;DDD

[@lanky5191]

he doesn't write the lyrics

[@antibalas79]

shrooms

[@jmmatos23]

It's just a bunch of confusing shit, and I don't want to attack anyone's opinion, but Asilos Magdalena is directly attacking God, not religion, the same way Vicarious Atonement attacks Jesus and not religion.

[@ChopinAbsinthe]

@abarbar06 I thought it was kind of stupid.

[@ChopinAbsinthe]

@maxf2f No he's not

[@ElHombretheman]

Huge simp lmao. God didn’t BIRTH the universe. He crafted it, clearly. Against what liberal minded people would like to believe The Almighty is also very judgemental and punishing to those who reject his ways. But he is right to say that life is about loving, but I doubt his definition of love and mine agree. Great music tho

[@kedwolf4171]

awesome guitar player but talks too much gibberish
