Sparta Collapse (acoustic)

[@elmo2800]

The lyrics are absolutely incredible. The creativity in his usage of English is like how a foreign speaker describes things in such an abstract way, yet we're able to understand it. So creative

[@er_mar_gur3522]

2020 and this is the GREATEST performance of this song

[@aaronchapman3]

2023 and Jim posted a version of this to his own KZbin channel and it's also a masterpiece. I love this version but I think I love the new version more although it's possibly just recency bias

[@LCerca]

I got rid of all my CDs when streaming became a thing, but I kept all three of my Sparta albums which are now on display in my office at home. Always will have a special place in my heart. Especially this live set.

[@dpke1]

Best acoustic ever! I come here every once in a while

[@riotpigeon]

one of the best bands ever.

[@jmccuish5357]

How aren’t these guys super famous!

[@digablechild]

this song is still so damn good after all these years.

[@theArchive1O]

man i used to listen to this band from middle school to highschool, waking up the early mornings and spending time with my mom every morning :) can't wait to see her when I get back home after i graduate university. i hope you guys are happy too :)

[@reddyuda]

uughhhhhh omggggg I haven't watched this version in years and it makes me feel so nostalgic for 00's rock. Can't find anything new I like but this shit resonates so strongly with me....

[@marielatellez6710]

2020, and it still makes me feel like 14 years ago...

[@xobile2844]

Brings so many memories. This particular video that is.

[@emaheiwa8174]

One of the best videos KZbin has to offer. De lo mejor de la historia de KZbin

[@steve.m1139]

Too true

[@joseluisgonzalez360]

ESTÁ BIEN

[@sabungay]

My all time favorite

[@mikepokas625]

Jim Ward has always had this very intelligent way with his lyrics. ATDI were amazing but art he really shines as Sparta

[@dotdawn]

thanks for putting those chords up... yeah, this song is pretty much amazing.

[@er_mar_gur3522]

El Paso loves SPARTA! Welcome back

[@BoronisatIon]

2021 and i still comes back every year to remind myself this video exist.

[@luiscaballero16]

Same here.

[@BoronisatIon]

​@@luiscaballero162023 man

[@antonvoltchok7794]

Holy shit the acoustic version is fucking amazing. Wished they released an acoustic version of wiretap scars, the album coulda had bass and softer drumming too, woulda been sooo good judging by this video

[@riverman2062]

You know when he falls apart He listens in the dark To the records turn i'll never learn..

[@beyondthegong]

Fantastic version!

[@lslewis]

This song sounded so sweet.

[@mxdave]

[@anonemouse1470]

sounds a lot like against me lead singer honestly both great tho

[@mxdave]

@@anonemouse1470 Thanks for bringing me back here, I remember watching this 15 years ago. Seen Atdi a few years ago and it was not the same without Jim Ward.

Who watched this in 2006, died, got reincarnated and is watching again?

[@chanbara8683]

Sparta!

[@Joris85]

Opinions differ, especially when it's about music. So technically you shouldn't say the mars volta is better, only that you find it better.;) I think tmv's first album was amazing, the other 2 nothing special. And I like Sparta, because of the melodies, Jim's voice and all the emotion in the songs. This acoustic live video is one of my favorites.

[@LightWillIgniteUsAll]

What do the percentages on their guitars stand for?

[@Big6Duke]

Do you have the other song they did as well?

[@colinmorris4690]

It's not drop D, I don't think, because they tune their lowest strings down at the end of the song without changing the rest. Although I'm not familiar with how to play this song... their tuning at the end of it doesn't seem to suggest anything lower than D, like drop C (which would require retuning all the strings). Sorry, is this making any sense?

[@mrdizle]

D Bm7 G Bm7

[@kasumiloophernandez3366]

Me 2022

[@arturoenriquezluna7032]

sniff, recuerdos

[@AllahInside]

Anyone know the chords for the ryhtm guitar in this part? And the tuning, I'm thinking it's drop D.

[@inefficient]

Its definatley Dropped D - but there arent any tabs for their acoustic stuff. You just need to figure it out from the original version. Thats what I had to do for "Air"

[@jonathanconnolly1626]

The other guy's guitar needs to be recharged, he's only at 13%

[@trailofdeadpeople]

what is point even saying something like that. this is a youtube video of sparta. not mars volta. this same arguement happens all the time and its getting annoying

[@andrew777spencer]

anyone figured out the 70% + 13% mystery?

[@Jinxy172]

Been 20 years. Still love to know haha

[@andrew777spencer]

@@Jinxy172 me too :D

[@TimothyDohner]

Mic volume percentage for vocals.

[@johnnyhuff148]

adti would have been better with this dude on lead vocals and the rage against the machine gone

[@BenGasser]

johnny huff agreed man. Jim Ward is a legend

[@KennyBier]

I agree, I am a big mars volta fan and sparta fan but they are obviously two completely different bands...i also agree with joris DEloused album was sick but the other two werent that great...

[@samuelsons01]

do you want a thumbs up for that one?
