| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 4:30pm - orgymf@work ""] oh....and i am so sick of people telling me how "amazing" their drummer is. nothin special take music theory classes until you are an expert, take acid until your thought process is as useless/retarded as Mike Pattons, write songs. voila Mars Volta |

| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 4:33pm - darkwor ""] i've been a fan since their first album, their best one by far imo, but i can only listen sparingly. vocals are cool but do get annoying. and the LYRICS. cool imagery but MAKE NO SENSE. |

He does some pretty cool things if you ask me. Just started listening to this band recently, good stuff. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 4:49pm - orgymf@work ""] yes sir, i am a drummer. not a great one. but a drummer, and a huge fan of those who actually are good. buddy rich, gene krupa, alex van halen, pete sandoval, virgil donati amazing drummers. the drummer of Mars Volta.....just like Danny Carey....over rated Carey goes crazy with triplets and quadruplets, Mars Volatas drummer pulls a couple of fancy fill ins and rudiments, and everyone thinks they are amazing. they are just pretty good drummers who have very flashy styles |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 4:53pm - orgymf@work ""] im just kidding. i love mars volta. i also love hendrix, and all animals. i just have so much love its so funny |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 4:59pm - archaeon ""] he's not amazing but I think he does a really good job with that band. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 5:03pm - porphyria ""] Thomas Pridgen on drums made the Bedlam in Goliath album worth listening to. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 5:04pm - porphyria ""] p.s. do any of you know which drummer you're talking about? |

| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 5:53pm - Martins ""] lol De-Loused is an awesome album. Grant here didn't believe me until I made him listen to it the other day. <3 Funny that this appreciation thread happens now lul. I love this bandyband. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 11:08am - orgymf@work ""] these pretty much prove my point. you guys were right that he is an excellent solo drummer. in a band setting, just flashy. going overboard with rudiments and flashy shuffles.....no biggie |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 12:22pm - porphyria ""] But Royster is in some uber lame band that's not nearly as interesting as Mars Volta (if that says anything to you guys). |

I mean, as far as bodies of work go, I might give the upper hand to Pridgen subjectively, because I do like the new MV more than any studio project I've heard Royster do. When it comes to technique and fluidity though, Royster just has something that is inherent, something that cannot be taught. |

| ______________________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:00pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I prefer to believe At the Drive-In was thrown from their bus Cliff Burton style rather than splitting and forming this band and shitty ass Sparta. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:01pm - aril ""] I could never really get into The Mars Volta. I listen to them a few times and wasn't really digging it. I heard it stoned once and it was OKAY at most. Not really huge on their sound. I'd rather listen to the classics. |
