I litterally cream my pants everytime I hear Juan play out Roulette Dares on the Lowlands & Electric Ballroom gigs; simply stunning. Although I prefer this track live with Jon Theodore on the tubs, the way Juan plays this with Prigden is equally impressive, although for other reasons.

Also gotta say his performance on Cassandra Gemini is insane, I love playing that... so much fun.

Everything off the newest album by Mars Volta is pretty good. He's just all around amazing. I wish I could afford that SVTVR with those two 8x10s! Anyone feeling charitable??

Ill save you the trouble. They have had issues with the reissue SVT. Buy the original.

Pridgen has almost ruined the mars volta for me. I miss theodore on the drums...

Yep, I prefer Jon Theodore, the band gelled so much better with him, and he's a much more musical drummer so to speak.

Prigden is impressive but I fear he's a bit of a one trick pony. I'd love him to prove me wrong & I'm prepared to allow him time to do so. I just fear that Omar's decision to bring in a drummer who constantly plays over the track, usually in different time sig's to the perticular piece, could well be a misstake. Juan is now the glue of this line-up, which prevents him from opening up like he used to alongside Jon.
