Omar Rodriguez Lopez on BOSS guitar effects

[@trism3gistus]

The tuner part was actually hilarious.

[@AN7HON7]

Man I fucking love Omar. Met him twice in life. Cool ass dude. Super talented

[@vrod2144]

Forever young

[@jackbrown3270]

this man changed the way on how i see the guitar with what he does with fx pedals.

[@Zeal808]

When he was doing the all experimental stuff his guitar playing felt so fresh and inspiring

[@bottlemanic]

Same. I had no interest in pedals or effects at all until getting into The Mars volta a couple years ago. Now I'm fascinated by the possibilities

[@SMAudio1990]

Man Omar is the man I wouldn’t be where I am if it was for Mars Volta.

[@drumduder]

The idea of this nerdy kid creating deloused is my favourite. Such a sweet dude.

[@SMAudio1990]

Lol same here

[@danieltilleru3528]

Really underrated guitar player

[@mistermurse]

Is he tho? Dude was on the cover of Rolling Stone with BB King

[@danieltilleru3528]

@@mistermurse even if he was on the rolling stones cover 90 percent of guitar players don't know of him

[@mistermurse]

@@danieltilleru3528 maybe unrecognized then? He is certainly not underrated. Guitarists who know of him and ATDI or Mars Volta are quick to praise his technical virtuoso and creativity.

[@burtbackattack]

I love Omar. Seems like a very nice, humble guy.

[@iaoshua]

hes not ! i mean yea hes nice , but very stand offish , narcissist, prone to conflict with others. in general he just doesnt care about other ppls opinions

[@burtbackattack]

@@iaoshua he's maybe a bit highly strung but I've met worse. He comes across here a as nice if a little shy. We all have different interpretations of people i guess...

[@iaoshua]

@@burtbackattack he is like this IRL . he doesnt let the outside world get into his head so you have to gain his acceptance before you really get his motivs. highly intelligent ppl classically dont get along with others so i think in a sense omars shyness is just a front, generic server response.

[@Marsvoltarules420]

When is Omar playing live again?

[@Kushalien51_nv]

Without the tuning pedal is quite difficult but ik people are good at tuning their guitars by ear 👂 omar is unique in his own way badass style his sounding sounds off but interesting 😎 👌

[@RecoveringMusicAddict]

He lives!

[@ryanmustain6545]

Who are the "these guys"? Please tell me it's the current TMV.

[@Snotboogie]

This seems like it was filmed when Bosnian Rainbows first started but I could be wrong

[@michaeltherion7459]

What Ibanez guitar is that?

[@EsteBandido_YT]

My guess is one of the AX models, or even a Jet King ?

[@sambryant7770]

Where is Saddle on the Atom Bomb OMAR

[@nuke97]

He got younger? How TF?

[@rbrt.a7063]

Weird travels to the Mayan Culture i guess

[@schrodingerscat3912]

yeah he's Puerto Rican, they are immortals

[@dolorespalermo6996]

I’m guessing veganism

[@EsteBandido_YT]

After a death of one of their close friends (and producer I believe), Cedric and Omar don't even drink coffee. They quit any sort of drug use and been sober since 2001 I believe

[@sseltcarT]

⁠@@EsteBandido_YTCedric still smoked pots tho up until around 2009 (I think) when he decided to call it quits, since he thought it turned him into a terrible person and wasted a lot of money for them. But yeah, other than that he’s mostly clean. Omar has always been sober (or at least already in the process of sobering up during the infancy of The Mars Volta). He even credited being sober to an exponential increase on his creativity.

In Absentia

[@LS-pe1rr]

it's weird how "i'm an imbecile" never works, and backfires. it translates to "i'm conceited and pedantic"
