omar rodriguez is the guitarist and producer for the mars volta. he conjures everything up in his head and teaches the other members of the band their parts only minutes before recording them. none of the parts of each song are recorded in linear order(sort of like films today are done) so he is the only one that knows what the finished product will sound like.
every person in the band is amazingly talented and creative. their live shows allow for a lot of improv.
they blend so many different styles of music to create a sound that no one else is doing right now.
their new drummer thomas pridgen is especially amazing. he was the youngest recipient for a Zildjian endorsement in the nearly 400 year history of the company. after listening to their new cd i couldn't believe it when i heard the dude doesn't use a double bass pedal.
check out this recent jam of an older song(if you aren't a patient listener i beg you to listen from 2:00-5:00 at least):
