This is a performance of one of the most explosive bands of the last decade: The Mars Volta. With chopped-up drum patterns (by Jon Theodore), solid bass lines (by Juan Alderete), ghostly keyboards (by Ikey Owens), frantic guitar riffs and percussion (by Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Marcel Rodriguez Lopez respectively), and out-of-this world lyrics (by Cedric Bixler Zavala), The Mars Volta manages to take you on a ride to another dimension, if you allow their music to penetrate your mind.
In this video at the MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica 2003, the crowd must have been blown away by their unusual, yet incredible, performance of a track from their first album (De-Loused in the Comatorium) named "Drunkship of Lanterns".
If you are curious about it, watch the video below, but be aware: They were on fire!
