The Mars Volta
Album: The Bedlam And Goliath
Song: Wax Simulacra
There are times when I hear in Mars Volta the future of rock'n'roll. There are times when I find them goddam boring as they recycle the same (albeit interesting) idea time and time again. It's really hit and miss. Regardless, this performance gives you a sense of their virtuosity and their practically unlimited potential. Cool avant garde jazz elements. Love the sax solo at the end, an Ornette Coleman-esque nod to noise.
Incidentally, this song won Mars Volta a 2008 Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance." Don't hold it against them.
