How did I know Jim Ward would get a nice plug.

[Mars Volta]

Mars Volta are brilliant, Sparta suxx and are not

Cedric and Omar are musical geniuses, Jim is just a tag along. It was C and O that were the force behind ATV. Go see their shows and its no comparison. MV is impressive. Absolutely Beautiful. One of the best shows I ever seen,and Sparta was boring. I wish Mars Volta would play El Paso more.

Say that to the sold out Abraham Chavez Theater when Mars Volta played, and Sparta didn't even sell out their hometown when they played the ACT. How embarrassing.

As a veteran of the El Paso music scene (1964-67), I appreciate the success of Mars Volta and At The Drive-In for their success. El Paso has tons of undiscovered talent who had to leave town to find success. I hope these guys will come to Austin sometime soon for a show. I do think the writer could have explored their background more. Thank you,

I agree that Omar was a huge creative force in ATDI, but you are very wrong to say Jim was a tag along. He really brought the rock, as did Tony the drummer. Every member of ATDI was very awesome, which is what it takes to make a great band.
