So this board gets tons of "What if...?" threads, and I'd say it's high time that these all get put into one place. This makes the board look much more organized and it definitely gets rid of things that don't exactly each need their own thread.

So start posting your hypothetical questions in here.

I'll add that certain hypothetical questions may warrant their own threads. That decision is up to the mods. It will probably mostly be me.

ok I was trying to think of one and I thought:

What if the Mars Volta performed with a strings section?

Or an orchestra...

What if Omar pulled a John Mayer and started dating Jessica Simpson? Would you still respect him?

Omar can date whoever he wants. I don't really care.

you're just all about the music....awesome!

omar can get away with anything really
edit: and he does

good answer.

Anyways, a symphony could be cool but the band would have to play about half as much as they normally would to make room for them, so i don't think they would like doing that. but if it was just a symphony playing mars volta songs that could be pretty sweet, as long as it was a full arrangement and not just like a string tribute.

Tetragrammaton would be fucking amazing as an orchestral piece, if only i could write scores...

When TMV brings in an orchestra... they'll have to retire, because nothing they do will ever be better than that. :D

What if ( dun dun dun) they played Miranda live?

that would officially be the shit

THX STD

- the Mars Volta -

LIVE from the Hollywood Bowl
w/ the LA Phil. Harmonic Orchestra




It's got a nice ring to it...

it does actually.

lmfao

I think the Widow would sound pretty cool with a Violin in it..... hmm

what if omer played a song for some dude from an unreleased album before a show

oh wait
LOOL

you love to flaunt that don't you?

Show-off

What if you all went to hell? Will The Mars Volta visit?

You stole my topic you bastard sense! hahahah

Didn't he call you a bastard?

I remembering reading somewhere that this kid had downloaded the leak, and before or after a show the kid met Omar. And Omar asked him "You downloaded the leak didn't you?" and the kid was like "Yeah" and Omar said "You little bastard" lol. I don't remember where I read that. Hmm. Was that you Sheff?

And to add something to this thread.



What if... Omar became president?!

This is a great thread.

If Omar became president, the USA would become an Oligarchy, with Cedric as the second, and equal ruler, although Omar would make most of the decisions.

FTM has alot of strings on the album.

What if TBIG had another singer on it?

Hmm. That one's interesting actually.

It would have to be someone kick ass.

whomever.

















i'm sorry.

What if Omar and Cedric shaved off their fros?
Don't pretend you wouldn't be a little disappointed.
This is the cue for someone to post that Omar quote about his hair and clothes having no bearing on his music or something...

Fixed.

Aw, I usually get that right. I would have done the same thing.

*secretly bans you*

omar- "My hair and clothes having no bearing on my music .....................





























...or something"

haha oh you

What if you found Cedric asleep on an airport couch?

Would you wake him?
Would you steal a lock of his hair?
Would you drape a blanket over him?
Would you start jumping on his couch screaming "BRINCAN LOS CUERPOS!"?

I think I would sit across from him and just watch him sleep like a creepy stalker.

or would you hold him hostage for a copy of tBiG?

If one day you bumped into Omar & Cedric, away from the crowds, parties, tours, and hysteria.
And if during that moment they seemed composed & elated to your recognition of them.
What ONE question would you ask them?

Mine would be:

"How would you like to be remembered?"

Mine would be:

"So, everybodys been wondering; who's the woman in the relationship?"

Ced's the catcher.

"Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"

"Do you listen to Beyonce'?"

i'd cut off someones hand and be like

"i cut off the hand that was promisedddddd toooooo [youuuuuuuuu].... and then we shake on it.... can i have tbig ceddy?"

what if tbig achieved massive commercial and mainstream sucess? i mean like being played as much as the stuff/shit thats on the radio now.
what effect would it have on you guys? ie the coma crew
and most importantly what effect would it have on omar and cedric?

What if they played their CDs straight through live?

I would pay 70 bucks just to see tmv play ditc through.

Iwould pay 100$ to see tmv play the whole ftm.

10 bucks to get my 100 bucks back spent on March/April mars tickets.

yeah dude id pay a 100 for either ditc, or ftm. No amp. Im sorry its not a bad album but some songs are a complete waste of time like fucking meccamputechture or vermicide.

I love meccamputechture. The begining to that song is fucking amazing. If this is gonna be another diss to Amp. thread then /thread.

on topic...
I would pay 100 bucks to see DitC played in its entirety.

I would pay $200 to see the big played all the way through :)

i would pay 2 dollars for a nice sandwich

that is a reasonable price

What if Juan or/and Ikey left the band? who could replace them?
