My doughter (SOAD huge fan) told me yesterday that in a SOAD newsletter they annunced that The Mars Volta would be their support band on the next tour. Is that right?
Please forgive me for my crappy english!

wow cool! It shud be the over way round, i dont know how they can fit their amazing live show into the time span of a support band. When i saw em on their own tour they played a 2.5 hour set with only 7 tracks. They had flute solos and sax solos and everything, it was brilliant.

cool, I thought that Volta would be back in the studio after this tour.  I know I have my tickets to see them next Tuesday at the Riv here in the windy city.  but its only Mars on this tour

I think they do it on purpose...The Mars Volta are trying to change rock music. 

First A Perfect Circle...now SOAD.  hmmmmmmmm...i think they have a plan.

 

 

Anyway i saw them in philly and it was f**king incredible.  Ill go to see TMV when they open for system...but ill probally move into the back when they come on.

Supporting SOAD is i reckon a move to convert the unconverted. Cedric said in a recent interview that this was what they wanted to do.

Good luck to them I say and fingers crossed they can open a few more people's eyes to  the realms of prog muisic!

It will be interesting to see how they can compact their current headlining live show, replete with improvisation,to a 45 minute support slot.  SOAD fans are all thick as sh1t, so they won't know what to make of a good band playing in front of them...as opposed to SOAD!

I would have assumed by this point volta would have established a large enough fan base to warrant a headlining spot. I am curious to see whether system will match their intensity, but I predict that the show's climax will precede system's on stage arrival, judging by past comments I have received on volta's live act.
Finite for today.

SOAD is naturally just an awful, sloppy live band from every perosn I've ever heard.  I saw TMV on the Deloused tour and was non-plussed, the jams semmed really meandering, but I've nothing but glowing things about this tour.  Have they really tightened up that much?
Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.

There is a celestial justice for those 5 stars reviews of Frances the Mute...
