Mars Volta are not as good as they are "billed" to be , they don`t compete with even average prog bands (like tool) yet they get the accolades of being brilliant or something ? (I mean if it is weird you want listen to Primus or Hawkwind, if its complex you want listen to Magma  Anglagard or King Crimson) The world can live without trendy prog bands like The Mars Volta and they deserve every bit of disrespect they receive they bring nuffin new to the table so don`t let em eat !  Don`t get mad with what I have posted because the truth hurts ... get over it Wink

Ditto. It's always the same thing with those who love The Arctic Monkeys.

More important, though, I have never heard any of them bad mouthing those bands.  If you don't like a band, ignore them.  Don't make posts about how much they suck.  (My comment is not directed at anyone who posted on this topic).

I  don't think Mars Volta Music is all that great or complicated. It is made up of a series of random noise effects and than pieced together like frankenstein with bad lyrics. Just because i dislike thier music doesn't mean all have too.

Because you have bad taste in music :P
 
Eh, lots of people have an unreasoning hatred for Pink Floyd. Lots of people hate Dream Theater too.  
I think parts of FTM are good, but overall I don't like it too much. It's too repetitious.

They're very popular, hence there's a lot of fans both dumb and smart.  The dumb ones tend to stick out more.
 
And when I say dumb, I don't mean that they're stupid people so much that they're inexperienced with music.  So a lot of them don't know a lot about other bands, they're not aware of a lot of the older music.  That's why they get picked on, they're seen as ignorant by the more elitist members of this (or any music) community.  So, it's really just elitism.

Dream Theater fans are the most abused don't worry. I don't think the Mars Volta are that abused at all. In fact, even some prog fundamentalists like them a lot too.

But you have to get used to people bashing it. Just like it because you like it.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I can feel this thread becoming another rude argumentDisapprove


I don't know why all the stupid jerks are attacking them. Maybe that's because they're the most original and innovative band out there and they're the easiest to pick on. Maybe the music is too complicated for them to get into and they choose to bash it.

BTW, You're absolutely wrong about DT: they're the biggest scape-goat of prog world, EVER.

Now close this thread for good Tony!LOL

All fans get bad mouthed at one point or another, I don't think the Volta fans are exclusive to that.


It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.
