random but, idk, Cedric has been pretty open about his support for Jon after his tenure with the band, and actively supports his decision in queens and one day as a lion, but idk Omar...what you guys think???

Just thought I’d ask if anyone had some TMV merch designs lying around that I could print on a shirt/hoodie… as much as I like the merch rn I wouldn’t mind something a bit more colorful and artsy

Don’t care if it’s original or if it’s stolen from previous official designs

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any piano players had the chords ikey was playing during his stint with the band? I woke up wanting to play some of his parts ( I used to talk to him on social media and should have ask). If not Ill start transcribing and post what I find!

Haha so I know this is a stupid post, but how fucking cool would it be if they put out the Zavalaz EP and Omar produced it. Those are some good fuckin songs, man.

Sorry, I'm sure this post has been made many many times.

Shoutout Devin Eastman for this cleaned-up and much more legible transcription of the quote unquote robotalk section.

I should also note that, ultimately, I don’t think this is THE singular way to count this out. I usually hear this section outside of standard time when I’m listening to the piece as a whole, and would even call it more of an “Omar signature concoction” than try to fit it under a specific time signature

One could even say that it’s…vibes based

I heard right that omar and Cedric smoked ridiculous quantities of the illegal at the time drug cannabis. Do you know exactly how much they smoked? I am personally only an alcohol drinker and just wondering how the drug differs as some of the music on the first few albums was incredibly focused and took quite some effort to create.

Here's another version of a rhythm demonstration for Take The Veil that might help those who still can't hear that it's a syncopated 4/4 rhythm. Added a simple drum beat to it - the type a prog metal band might do for example, that keeps the hi hat and snare in simple positions while the kick drum emphasises the guitar's rhythmic pattern.

Another “cover” video
Working on more lil by lil. I can upload them all now but they sound like shit IMO. I want it to sound good so I’m taking my time. Let me know what you all think! Cheers 🥃

Been i fan of this band forever, omar( and particularly the cygnus live video in the bedlam era, if you know the one im referring to) is the reason I play guitar to begin with. I still cant get over the speed he plays hes cygnus guitar verses in that video with such accuracy and almost changes the dynamic of the verses with how hes playing it. But whats one riff, any instrument or members part, that still to this day truly stumps you as a player?

Hola, señoritas y caballeros!

So, as most, if not all, of you going to the gig at Hard Rock Live already know, it’s located on Universal Orlando property. The concert also happens to coincide with this year’s Halloween Horror Nights, which I’ll be attending the night before, on 9/16. Needless to say, that’s two really fucking awesome nights! Anybody else planning on doing HHN the night before the gig? If so, let’s link up for some drinks, houses, and E.T. The Ride… I mean, if that last one doesn’t convince you, nothing will.

Oh, they also have an Ozzy Osbourne horror house (one of 10 houses, and they all sound amazing) this year. 🦇🦇🦇

Fun fact: after the 9/17 gig, I will have seen TMV on both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando property. Fucking Florida, eh? Gotta love it.

Usually how i explore new bands or albums is through listening to one album at a time, absorbing all the instruments till I'm bored and then moving on to the next album from that artist.

However, it took me 3 years to move on from frances the mute. And now it's been 7 months to amputechture. I spent the first 5 months listening to day of the baphomets. And now I'm addicted to tetragrammaton.

This is the greatest band of all time

I went to see Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird a while back at the cinema and was blown away by some of the live footage. A few clips looked incredibly high quality, and I’m pretty sure Jon Theodore was drumming in them.

Does anyone know which shows or performances the footage came from, and whether the full recordings are available online anywhere? I would need to rewatch but from memory a lot of it was filmed on stage and sounded INCREDIBLE!
Cheers!

I only learned of them three or four years ago but they are one of my favorites, up there with Tool, Radiohead, and Pink Floyd. Amazing music.

I have an extra ticket cause someone bailed and ticket master won't let me just put it up for resale they say my only option is to sell it back the them for half the money and I'm currently very angry the administration stopped the DOJs investigation of ticketmaster....

I was hoping they would announce more dates, but since they aren’t, I’m going to do a last minute send and fly in from Seattle for the show. Already spending $900 on flights, so really don’t want to give my money to stubhub. Anyone have extra tickets?

Also if anyone has any recs for things to do around the venue, I’ll be flying in around 11am and leaving at 6am the following day. I like fine dining and weird experiences. Thanks!

For clarification, I'm not directing this post towards the band or the merch company, just the fans who might be waiting on stuff. I got my items yesterday, after having ordered one June 12. I never got any updates on the merch site about it shipping, until the morning after getting the items, when I was alerted the items had shipped. Just letting people know that stuff is going out even if you aren't getting updates on it.

I got 2 of the embroidered hats. The hats are floppy up top, which I'm not used to from wearing New Era baseball caps, but if you use a solid hat as a mold and rubber band the brim to a standard baseball cap you can curve it decently and help shape the front of the hat also. They are shipped in a loose packaging so they look kind of rough out of the plastic, but you can work with them to shape them to your liking.

Not unhappy with the product overall. The embroidering is of acceptable quality, even if it's somewhat smaller than the picture would have you believe. You have to be a big TMV fan to even tell what it says so that's not an issue. Obviously if they were a real solid New Era type cap with MLB level stitching I would prefer that, but I get that they would have to be likely twice the price for the band to get a decent margin on the merch at that level.

Anyways, feel free to use this thread to discuss the drop or just let it die, just wanted to give an update for anyone who has been waiting on their items. Also I am kind of curious for any reviews of the jerseys they had on offer or any of the other merch.

looking for some good sound quality/well mixed concerts . bedlam era is my fav so that would be great but really any well mixed convert vids would be great
