[@Loud0glbc]

Please never remove this video - I commented 12 years ago! One of my favorite KZbin videos of all time.

[@gratefulDead619]

its been about 10 months without smoking bud (probation) , the first chance i can smoke, this song shall be played

[@Anfon]

John played the melodic soloing on cicatriz and the whole synth middle part

[@Loud0glbc]

Back on this video, see my comment from 7 years ago. This is so good

[@Prisoner]

[@DeadeyesX311]

0:38 reminiscent riff of the song 0=2

[@mgmccorvy]

That guy playing the drums is Cedric. John & Omar play very well together. Those of you that don't know this is DeFacto, a band created post "At The Drive In" and pre "The Mars Volta". John has been playing with our TX's friends for a long time now. John obviously wanted to play with that type of guitar so he could achieve the type of sound you hear. It is all about what sounds you want to achive with each insturment. FYI

[@ShroudedInVeilz]

this is beautiful, the volta guys and John should collab' live more often.

[@kato0291]

one of the most badass setups i've ever seen, i might add

[@muaythainick13]

I was there.. amazing show!

[@HiediKuenzli3]

Would you by chance happen to have any photos or video you’d be willing to share with me? I ran the art booths & was taking photos for the LB Catalyst paper. I’d love to see other perspectives from that day if possible:) Happy to share the photos I’ve got in return? 🙂

[@gbrooks2]

Four more-awesome people have never stood under a tent.

[@dillsapldorf]

i second that they both musical genius' with there own individual styles. PRAISE THEM!

[@Fabbobi]

and john on guitar... great trio.

[@zulu26]

so tight. reggae dub rock with john frusciante and omar. i think my dream came true

[@SuperDayv]

John makes the world a better place.

[@ItsRainingSteak]

cedric on drums and omar on bass, fucking awesome. thats some funk.

[@RHCP2210B]

i could watch this video all day..

[@flipzoso]

well they were both seperate projects, Jeremy was more or less mastermind behind Defacto, Mars Volta was already made and weould be recording in summer. They had already toured fall 2001 and some europe dates in feb/march 2002.

[@Ancaja123]

is that a ring modulator at 2:20

[@TOCaneoja]

some of the greatest musicians in the world all on the same stage... amazing

[@BvOcXs]

Some of John riffs reminds me of his solo songs with Omar "0" and "0=2"

[@luesmi]

I would sell half of my soul to be at this gig... bloody incredible

[@RHCPfan]

Frusciante is the king, he can play ANYTHING

[@ShadesWade]

cedric is a wild man on that kit

[@TOCaneoja]

ok.. i just enjoy their music a whole bunch

[@JohnsGuitar2k7]

johns soul has spoken !!!

[@flipzoso]

oops correction, this is August 18, 2002. So the summer Deloused demos were probably either done or being worked on at this time. Then they finish it up at mansion in fall/winter '02

[@the1andonly8]

no matter wat u tell or how u tell prigden or theodore or any real musician how to play their instrument their always gnna play it in their own style cuz no matter who u r u have ur own style u cant sound like anybody else jus like miles davis dizzy gillespie clifford brown and louis armstrong all had different styles and all of them r amazin at wat they do so let prigden be amazin wit wat he does and theodore wit wat he does

[@Tanga26927]

John and Omar are really amazing! they've changed my head.

[@lellowranger]

Cedric playing drums and Omar on bass, how kick ass is that?

[@amyp53]

this is one of the best things i have ever seen on the internet! jackpot of awesome musical glory

[@bongolow07]

This is amazing footage.

[@ovneb]

haha yea, but I WOULD be nervous carrying around a $30,000 guitar too. I'd have to say my fav is his Gibson Black Beauty. Such a badass guitar, Hillel played one too.

[@HiediKuenzli3]

The guitar he played that day wasn’t one he brought. It was from the guitarist of another band called Felix Structure, their set was just before de facto’s

[@bobbyguy54]

the video is magical

[@Guillembd]

BRILLIANT SOUNDZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@achcautli]

Here is the line up: Ikey Owens-Keyboards (MarsVolta & deFacto) Cedric Bixler-Drums deFacto Lead Singer MarsVolta Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Bass Guitar deFacto, Lead Guitar and band director MarsVolta. DeFacto is a side project that Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has, along with the Omar Rodriguez Quintet... Pretty nice stuff and unbelievable musicians!

[@eckorat]

i just melted

[@deca400]

Great

[@krixixbrunolullaby]

amazing drumming.

[@ernieballsting]

pure jamming goodness

[@kharlos84]

thanks for the video bro I really appreciate it

[@Hb35Jazz]

I never thought I should see Frusciante with an Epiphone? :)

[@Dan070]

Absolutely :D

[@mommommonja]

Will I ever be as awesome as John?

[@CampSpaceship]

dude these guys have like 5 bands theyve been in. mars volta is my fav shit ever!

[@MailsonFrusciante]

JOHN FRUSCIANTE! THE KING OF GUITAR!!!

[@xyphere]

Yes.

[@oldphoque]

This was just awesom, He could have done it on a plank but didn`t.Hollow and semis rarely make stage. Nice.

[@kroos87]

Yeah, this was their touring band before Mars Volta. Omar on guitar, Cedric on Drums, and Ikey Owens on Keyboard.

[@HiediKuenzli3]

You forgot someone; of utmost importance… Jeremy Michael Ward💙

[@danonleon]

This was a party/art festival in downtown Long Beach to celebrate the first issue of the Long Beach Catalyst.

[@HiediKuenzli3]

Holy shit!!! Daen?!? Is that you?!

[@danonleon]

@@HiediKuenzli3 Daen is my brother; who is this?

[@HiediKuenzli3]

@@danonleon my name is Hiedi, Daen is an old friend but it’s been many many years since I’ve spoken to him, lost contact when I left CA, could you help me get into contact with him?

[@intimatelyrearranged]

amazing fucking brilliant wish i was there

[@RoelHovenga]

Ikey is very underrated, he is so good!

[@RHCP2210B]

god that guitar sounds good.

[@Skavengeful]

This video makes my heart bleed, because it's so damn good.

[@stephanie41791]

[@freecool]

Well spotted

[@evanisgay11]

I wouldn't see Cedric as such a kick ass drummer. I'm high.

[@tblock18]

yes

[@05BabyReg]

Awww the Gretsch!!

[@gameover313]

That´s not his Gretsch, its an Epiphone.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

nope!

[@wsdmn]

this is exactlly the reason why i wanted so badly to move to the U.S.A

[@Waxinasss]

Doesn't matter what guitar John has. He always sounds like John.

[@keitaro21]

I would have like to see Omar on Guitar and John on Bass ^^

[@flymusicguy]

Come on crowd! move around, scream a little! This Fucking Rocks!!

[@freecool]

my mistake again it's an Epiphone Emperer II Joe Pass. I spelt it wrong the first time

[@Highnightt]

listen to 4.12 the drum and bass is fucking amazing

[@funkyfru]

Awesome! And let's stop arguing over who is the better guitarist and just agree that they're both amazing, OK? :)

[@PineappleDrumz]

3:40 such a John thing to play ♥

[@kreykelly]

Slane Castle Californication intro jam!

[@RHCP2210B]

epiphone. sounds so fuckin good.

[@matschmusic]

Yeah...

[@cdrumz]

cedric is freakin sick yo...

[@TremulantMannequin]

i dont like anything the chili peppers do but i love when john and omar get together

[@jdirolf]

I think the person showing the most talent here has gotta be omar on bass.

[@ovneb]

this was before the chilis recorded californication cause de facto became mars volta right after the album was released.

[@tappingeddie]

they do.

[@cseikaly18]

shit liek this happening is just awesome

[@kato0291]

looks like a snare, hat, crash/ride, bass, and one rack tom. and its sounds like a single bass pedal

[@xavierofsparta]

I miss Jeremy Ward

[@ovneb]

ahh yea, ur right. i was thinkin of at the drive in, my bad

[@TheGregZ]

frusciante + omar = GOD

[@freecool]

I think that you should have noticed that the White falcon is white/cream and this guitar is stained/varnished (or something like that) in colour and not white, plus it looks way different than a white falcon

[@kato0291]

didn't know the scale of omar's genius could encompass the drums as well... but that still doesn't explain the obvious difference in style between the albums done by theodore and pridgen

[@telemax112]

4:30- 4:55 Faaaaaacc!!!! CRAZY KEYS!!! FK YES!!

[@ElementaryKnowledge3000]

17 years ago… 😮

[@vvvvaaaacccc]

that's what i thought! but in actuality, there's a fountain in the background. :)

[@mulefa1]

Amazing! And cedrics not bad on those drums

[@nismocuaad]

vaya, ni pensar que ese chavo de la bataca, cedric, se convertiria en el mas chingon cantante de estos tiempos, para mi al menos

[@markgodo]

AND Ikey on keys!!

[@achcautli]

Sorry... Got mixed the time line then... hehe... anyway, that doesn't change the fact that these guys are unbelievable... These guys rock!

[@crohno]

OMG the drummer... he... he is Cedric from The Mars Volta

[@carlosdub]

long beach. weed. de facto. frusciante, flea, mars volta, blazed and confused

[@drugstorerecords]

oh fuck yes

[@ezion]

Sydbar* is correct. it is an Ephiphone Joe Pass II minus the pick guard. I was their. This is my video. I would know.

[@renegadepoptard]

@LandonRemixes and btw, this de facto was formed in 1993

[@chris25meza]

Cedric is a pretty good drummer by the way.. Besides being an incredible singer..

[@ahcomets33]

grestch white falcon

[@ernieballsting]

2002/2003

[@flipzoso]

2002

[@birdslovefilters]

the guitar is an Epiphone Joe Pass full hollow body with the pick guard assembly removed..I'm almost positive because I have the same guitar
