anyone remember that whole the Doors scandal when Jim apparently whipped his dick out and all the people in crowd went on the news and said how Jim was inciting riots and partaking in crazy stage antics and they said it was the worst show of their lives? Cedric keeps that spirit alive — he wakes people the fuck up. people go to rock shows and take pictures and maybe nod their head — cedrics shakes you out of that. you’re here. and you going to experience something more than just the notes on the record. all the magazines and people who said it was the worst 90 minutes of their life or complain about how terrible it was are boring people. Mars volta puts raw emotion into their music, how do people not enjoy and respect that? i don’t understand it. at least they get some form of emotion out of the people. hate is better than ignorance.

I remember seeing ATDI and the old Luluna (then called Pine St) and Cedric acted just as crazy. He was wrapping himself with gaffers tape like a mummy for the last few songs. When he was completely covered including his mouth and eyes he did a stage dive into the drum kit to end the show. I’m glad to see he’s still as wound up after all these years.

Thank you for posting this footage. What an unbelievable opener from The Mars Volta.
