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. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

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. ------------- www.myspace.com/thepianowar |

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! ------------- "The Beautiful Ally Of Your Own Gravediggers" www.gloryscene.co.uk |

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! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

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.

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...
