Watch At the Drive-In perform One Armed Scissor back in 2000.
From the BBC's flagship music show Later... with Jools Holland. - Hudba
Omar's guitar tech: "No worries Omar, here's a freshly strung and tuned gui....."
Omar: * 𝙔𝙀𝙀𝙏 *
lmao
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
ugh...that stupid gen z slang does not belong on a video from this classic band. I skeet on your yeet.
Proceeded to pick up the tambourine 😂
The Stages of Omar:
1. Accidentally knocks guitar string out of tune in the first second of the song
2. Tries to pass it off as crazy psychedelic guitar madness
3. Attempts to fix it mid-chorus/realizes there's not enough time
4. Does best to play around it/more psychedelic guitar madness
5. Cuts his losses and yeets his guitar
6. TAMBOURINE TIME!!!
XD
It didn’t sound like the song until Omar stopped lmao
I think he actually manages to fix it during the chorus, which is why the high-note picking bit of the second verse doesn’t sound *as out-of-tune* as the rest of the song, but knocks it out again almost immediately after.
@@edgeIord He swaps guitars during the chorus and sounds good for a bit. Then knocks the second one out of tune when Cedric throws the chair on stage.
What an arch.
This is what remembering a song by memory feels like
Thank goodness Omar remembered his emergency tambourine.
Close one
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At least the tambourine was in tune.
This is my favorite live performance. You have to realize, this was around the time that Hit Me Baby was the #1 song, and Robbie Williams was the second guest on this episode. The joy I get imagining what the audience and producers must have thought when they uncorked this bottle of crazy is beautiful.
I remember watching it at the time & just thinking it was the greatest thing. Good to see age hasn’t diminished its insanity & energy
This performance still gives me goosebumps. The most punk rock thing on Jools Holland?! Pure energy.
if you can find it right after they finish it pans to robbie williams whose super pissed off b/c that was williams piano players chair cedric grabbed haha williams says 'can my mate have his chair back??'
Interesting. I watched it and was annoyed. It's over the top and has fake smeared all over it. Like the guy throwing his guitar into the audience and all this childish jumping around.
@@moronsmorons8913 Congrats.
The drummer and bass player are the only ones actually playing "one armed scissor"😂😂😂
Mr. Ward is i'd say
Hahaha, yes! Most of them are playing so messed up.
And the other guitarist not overly concerned with doing pirouettes in his size xxxxxs skinny Jean's
That's all you need
I fell in love to drummer, cedric and Omar
I recall an interview with Omar where he said there was a point in ATDI where he started to hate the guitar. This may have been that point in time.
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS IT.
I like how Omar tried to bring it back a little during the first chorus, only to realize how fucked the tuning was at that point and just descending back into noise. I've heard a lot about how wild this performance was but could never find a video, it didn't disappoint.
This was taken off CZcams for so long, glad to see it back incredible performance.
I'll never forget how watching this at the time made me feel. As a fourteen year old, this was my Elvis on the Mitlon Berle Show or the Beatles on Ed Sullivan moment, it changed EVERYTHING.
If I had a dollar for everytime I’ve shredded my voice screaming along to this album. Truly one of the greatest albums ever made.
I love Jim Wards voice so much. I’m a huge Sparta fan and I definitely pick up on his energy from this insane performance
Pienso lo mismo 😎🥂
Funny story... My wife went to high school with Jim and I knew him somewhat, though I would not particularly call him a friend, we did talk quite a bit for a while back around 93-94. One day we are drinking in a bar in Juarez and he tells me he's starting a band and he wants me to be the singer. I looked at him and asked if he was high and if he had ever heard me sing, which he admitted he hadn't. I then informed him that I didn't play any instruments and sing like man with no arms, I can't hold a note, and can't carry a tune. He insisted saying that he thought I had great energy and would make a fantastic front-man. Anyway, I turned him down and eventually our circles drifted apart. I did the whole marriage, career, kids thing, and eventually ended up working at the DEA. I really haven't seen him any since, but apparently the band thing kinda worked out for him, and seeing this I can really see why he thought my inability to sing in a traditional fashion wasn't going to be an obstacle, though I honestly do wonder what made him think I had that kind of energy.
Almost 21 years later and this album is still next level stuff
First half yeah. This song tho. Jesus cracking stuff. 21 years later dear god was this our sex pistols moment ffs. 40 next birthday here 😪
@@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon the whole album
@@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon At least they didn't miss it but it would appear the rest of us did
ROC is one of the greatest albums ever made in my opinion. In the history of rock music. I honestly can't remember another album that had the same effect on me. Maybe Aenima was close. This album changed the way I listened to music.
It was genre perfection without a doubt, start to finish
You guys are not ready for this,but your kids will love it!
Jim Ward saved the presentation since Omar and Cedric decided to go nuts hahah
As usual
I don't think Jim gets enough credit for being the musical anchor he clearly was.
@@codyzimmer2876 it was because he had no afro :'(
I think that's a large reason why he was the only one not to return when they reformed
That and his brother died whilst in Cedric and Omars next band
@@insanityisawesome97 Jeremy Ward was Jim’s cousin, not brother.
Jim held this song together. I love it when Omar breaks his guitar and picks up a tambourine tho 😂
He held the BAND together, as long as he could.
Jim’s the man!
love Mars Volta but the reunion shows (and album) without him fucking blew, lol.
The performance that launched a thousand new bands.
This wasn't this band that did it. This is just a horrific sound.
@@NebMunbit flew over your head. its not just the sound, its the energy that inspired a generation.
if you hate this you probably find dillinger escape plan completely unbareable
@@oui2611 nah I get what he's saying, I remember this album coming out and all the people that listened to it were the more scene cool kids that liked it for the aesthetic and not really for the music. I never liked it and still don't. I listened to bands just like them but they just never hit my music spot.
I can think of several bands in high school that became clones of this band in their own way. For me this is when I became aware of what would later be defined as emo.
@@__Theodoreyes, kind of post hardcore by the numbers. Almost a parody of the genre.
Omar's guitar is non-operational lol
His apparatus was a little bit too un-earthed
The single greatest performance in the history of Later. Utterly wonderful. Remember watching this when it went out and the camera cuts to Robbie Williams who looks like he's about to shit himself.
This looks ridiculously smooth for 2000
And man were they ahead of their time here.
sounds like slint + sonic youth in steroids
@@ktakyon fugazi and pink floyd
i used to think they were creative until i heard Brainiac - bonsai superstar. it's almost even a rip off of that band. Vocal effects and everything. Cedric never denied the influence and was on their documentary recently. brainiac sounds like is the prototype of atdi. Those songs sound like they could be off relationship of command and its from like 1993
Smooth for 2000? Wtf. Guess what we had the Internet in the 90s and crystal clear TV in the 90s. You'd think it was like 1972 you way you talk. 2000 was yesterday dude
GIANT Fugazi and Brainiac influence here
Gotta love Omar’s guitar going out of tune pretty much immediately and later giving up with it completely to pick up a tambourine
The second verse sounded pretty good. so it was probably on purpose-ish
@@jerms_mcerms9231 he changed guitars during the first chorus.
@@philbuch5851 ı watched this a million times but never noticed that til now, was just thinking he was doing feedback stuff :)
near there break up right? bet he was done with the band and their racism?
@@DavidWilliams-ic1nnthe band was racist?!?! 🙁
So this is what happens when half the band gives up playing the song and just goes insane. Very impressive
It's amazing how much better the song sounds when the when the asshat with the afro unplugs
Sparta and the Mars Volta lol
let's be fair: 2/5 of the band... Omar and Cedric just went bezerk!
This takes me back, and i regret not seing them live . Much love from the middle of nowhere NSW Australia
love how the applause is taken...from another dimension
These guys and The International Noise Conspiracy were on a different level when playing live 20 years ago. Saw them both and they were absolutely spectacular. It makes me happy that I was lucky enough to witness these 2 bands
ATDI - One Armed Scissor (no guitar/lead vocals)
If you have ever wondered why the group split up into two seperate bands, here's your answer lol
It's because of their hair, I know!
I would find it unbearable playing with Omar and Cedric. "like dude could you just sit still and actually play the fucking guitar please"
@@satevo462 It's a double-edged sword. AtDI were so great precisely because of the marriage between the afro-boys' manic and super-creative energy and the solid and steadfast rhythm section. It was controlled and focused chaos.
That same manic energy that made their live performances so insane and memorable (which I think was a giant factor in them becoming more popular) just made Cedric and Omar go over the top sometimes, especially when too many drugs were involved lol.
It's nuclear fission, too many combustible and unstable elements
It’s ironic considering Mars Volta was such a tightly run regime in the hands of Omar. Dude practically dictated to the band members what he wanted them to play.
Absolutely incredible. As raw as it gets
I was in a cover band and we ended the set with this song and tried to recreate the energy from this performance and they were honestly some of the best nights of my life.
was anyone recording? that sounds awesome id like to see that lol
do you have any recordings? would love to see
It’s hard to describe how thrilling this was to watch on tv at the time of broadcast. I’d never seen anything like it. It’s still utterly compelling now. I was too young to have been into nirvana first time around, but instead grew up on britpop. This came just as many Britpop bands were in the wane and just felt like really strong espresso in terms of guitar music. I was beside myself when I finally got to see them play live a few years ago.
God I absolutely adore this one. Such a chaos and Jim Ward there serious af just ignoring it
He kinda had to. Someone (besides the rhythm section) had to keep the tune going.
I work at the El Paso Whole Foods. He hits it up almost weekly, he’s serious but we always head nod.
@@ssjhank3013 that's pretty cool you see him all the time
@@ssjhank3013 haha yeah Jim looks like the kinda guy who shops at Whole Foods
Sí Jim ward los ignora, sino es imposible hacer el tema .
No drugs were harmed in the making of this video
Hahahahaha
Hopefully not hahaha
Oh I'd say some were abused...
Hahahahaha!!!
Yes, they were!
They cut off Robbie Williams asking for the chair back at the end 😂
I remember pissing myself seeing his reaction at the time- I found the footage, still pretty funny czcams.com/video/H66pZ6Ppm6E/video.html
@@krazimac209 haha everyone needed that part, youre the best!
was the best part
@@krazimac209 hero! I’ve been looking for this ages!!!
Stuff like this is why I love the set up of Jools Holland. Throw random artists together and it makes for some fun reactions.
Another personal favorite is one of the dudes from Mumford and Sons seeming a bit surprised by Warpaint in 2011.
I don't know why but I keep coming back to this
Omar mentioned in an interview relatively recently that the “technical difficulties” on his part were all accidental in this performance. One thing led to another and he eventually just tossed the guitar aside and picked up the tambourine. The band *did* want to be there but, y’know, shit happens!
where is this interview buddy?
after watching his antics in the other TV filming versions, I call complete bullshit there. Dude bailed like a child on Conan. I mean i get art, but the sabotage here is pretty incredible haha
@@gerosari he says it in some podcast episode about a year old I believe. Can't remember the name but it's on YT
You probably heard about it on Turned Out A Punk. They talked about it.
This show was always incredible to watch. Id see every reason in the world to want to check it out.
cut off 10 seconds too soon because watching Robbie Williams having to directly follow this was a great telly moment
Could never put my finger on this one. Sounds atrocious but at the same time also is absolute mint.
Omar's guitar is clearly out of tune. reported he broke a string before the song, so he improvised
The song is good but they suck.
@@aubreylear He literally changes his guitar just as the first chorus comes to an end and then yeets that guitar off the stage when the final chorus comes up and decides to play tambourine. Just legendary.
@@emeraldcelestial1058 your comment is invalidated by your unironic use of term "yeet." please go away.
@@aubreylear yet the subject (read 'discredited violater') used "yeet" in a way which was quite nearly and curiously apropos.
In an odd way its so captivating and mesmerizing that you cant help but watch the madness unfold. Its strangely brilliant to watch the chaotic mess commence as everything falls apart.
This legendary performance is finally back on CZcams! Yes!!!
one of the best moments in tv history
Been waiting for this one to come back up for a long time. Some performance! And arguably the best in JH history. Jim Ward somehow managing to keep the chaos together right till the last, glorious stuff!
I remember watching this video about 2 weeks after it came out here on youtube, it sent me down the rabbit hole of ATDI and the mars Volta, definitley changed my music taste for the better
I bought their album solely because of watching this performance. IIRC didn’t they cut to Robbie Williams straight after with a ‘how the hell do I follow that?’ expression on his face..
Jim holding the ship together. You've got to give it to him, keeping everything going and having a blast at the same time.
Paul as well. Just getting on with it
The most CHAOTIC live band I have ever seen. Three members playing normal, two members playing whatever the hell the want.
its annoying for the players holding it together to see the others not try to do their best instead act like sugar addled 6 year olds
Have you seen The Chariot live?
@@adamalexanderray I am from Douglasville and was about to ask this same question.
I miss The Chariot.
Hell I miss hardcore and metal shows in general.
@@adamalexanderray That just opened a wound reading this comment section. Bought tickets to see the Chariot with my little brother because they were touring with Silverstein who we share a mutual fondness for. I was mostly there to see the Chariot. My brother was 16 and forgot to bring his permit so I gave him my permit which I still carried on me even though I had my license. Got called out for it by a bouncer and got my license confiscated because he thought it was fake. They then hunted my brother down and he was thrown out before the show started.
We drove in blizzard to the show. It took us over an hour of treacherous driving to make that 20 min drive. Otherwise I would've just begrudgingly driven him back to my parents for him to get his own ID. In his defense it was his first real show without being with my parents. Lesson learned.
Never managed to ever see the chariot live before they broke up.
I don't disagree, but have you ever been to a dillinger escape plan show? 😆
Quality, I remember when that aired, I think I was about 16, then seen them in Dublin around the same time too; Relationship of Command is a timeless album for me. Chefs kiss.
I saw this when it was broadcast and knowing the song quite well, actually found it the most tuneful thing that evening.
This is the single most important punk rock band of the last 25 years, people said of the velvet underground 'not many people bought the LP but everyone who did started a band'. This was the case for ATDI when I was a 16 year old kid I the early 2000s. One day everyone listened to nu metal and didn't think they were good enough to be in a band, the next they realised it didn't matter and started their own. Honestly every single person in my fairly large friend group after they saw this formed a band, me included. After I heard them I cut my hair, changed my clothing style, started reading different books and changed the way I played guitar. Everyone went from bar chords to dowtuned single note shit to hard strumming crazy jazz chords in disjointed timings really fast over night. It was more I the spirit of the barchird grunge and punk we grew up on with a bigger weight to it like the metal but far far more experimental than anything we knew, it was the best of everything we'd heard. Even people who weren't even that into them formed bands cause they made everything feel possible again. We all sounded like them a bit too! The nirvana of my generation for sure.
thanks for sharing!
Such an awesome quality vid of ATDI. Also it really must of sucked playing live with Omar back then.
just to summarize what happened in this show (courtesy of Cedric on a podcast a few years ago):
Omar dropped his guitar right before the song, knocking it completely out of tune, and their guitar tech hadn’t finished restringing the back up guitar and didn’t have enough time to tune omars guitar so he had to just play it ridiculously out of tune. so in response to that, cedric acted extra wild and crazy to make up for it.
Takes 2 minutes to tune a guitar. Calling bullshit on all this
@@serpentinefire921 i think omar had picked up the guitar to start the show, dropped it, and then just had to roll with it. then again, maybe it is, but omar often went out tune while playing so it’s not too surprising. i don’t think he purposefully did it, if that’s what you’re getting at.
rock n roll doesn't need to be in tune
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhht. Because he didn’t play the second guitar in tune, I the right key, or hardly at all either. Pedro Tony and Jim carried these druggies on their backs
@@rebelbear428 jim was a dork, everyone watch omar and cedric
Superb behaviour 👌👍
Thanks to the book "Sell Out" I am just getting into this band. They were freaking maniacs in concert
Pay for the experience and energy. And the great thing here, can't discount omar and cedric as musical geniuses as well.
Beautiful messy fuzzy wiry noisy chaos, my hat peark ATDI were majestic titans.
Majestic Titans. I love that.
I remember jools saying in a looking back show they had spirit. Definitely so! The spirit of this band inspired a lot of my life choices. Not only this performance but others too such as arcarsenal at big Day out. As mentioned it's a shame they shaved off the priceless reaction of Robbie Williams just after but you can see this on other copies 😂😂
In my opinion this is the best live appearance ever on Later ..legendary
This and Radiohead's performance of Paranoid Android are forever seared into my heart
That was horrible lol pretentious attention-seeking at best
Bloc Party performing Helicopter too
How?
@@seanglennon4012 never go to a punk show
Que energia do caralho.
Que falta faz bandas assim hoje no Rock mundial.
Love that I have been watching their Conan and Letterman performance of this on repeat for the last week and now this just got uploaded.
Amazing!
Me too
Hahaha holy shit, 5 seconds in with Omar immediately flailing his guitar around always has me in stitches. It sets the tone for what's to come so well.
The performance that inspired me to grab my first chair and figure out how to play it.
A force of nature 🤣 love it !
It’s back up! Praise the Lord!
I just need it now and then. Calms me down when im pissed off too much..
Great job guys!
Unironically my favorite rendition of this song, hands down 🫡
Favourite live tv performance ever!
Always wish I could see them their shows look amazing been listening since 2001..haha love how they played this version
Just want to say that I really appreciate the BBC (and I guess by extension the English taxpayer) for releasing this.
I've watched that Conan performance from 2000 like a million times
this is like seeing that from a whole new much higher quality angle. like a totally new perspective of a childhood memory. outstanding!
Wild to see this in HD. looks and sounds like a modern band from today. Just goes to show how ahead of the curve these guys were 20+ years ago
You know good cameras existed in the year 2000, correct? This didnt take place in the 1960s lmfao
Dude are you serious with this? Have you listening to literally any post punk from the ‘80s? You sounds like a high school sophomore. Only a child thinks this is ahead of it’s time in goddamn 2000. And it sounds like a contemporary indie rock band because indie rock is mostly stale af normy safe stuff like this.
@@draculawolfman1502 Shut up, you annoying 16 year old. Page 84 in your math textbook won’t finish itself.
ATDI was ahead of its time when they came out and have yet to be replicated or touched since they dropped ROC. You can argue that post-punk and screamo had an influence on their sound, but no other band to this day has been able to seamlessly blend hardcore, progressive rock, and latin jazz into a single unique sound. Lots of artists ripped ATDI’s style afterward.
@@potatoid-0158 really?? They kinda sounded like fugazi meets pink floyd
@@potatoid-0158 based
When you look up "raw" in a dictionary, you find this as an example
This is SPECTACULAR!!!
I had seen ATD-I once in London before they started to get big and they absolutely blew my mind. They were so good. I remember watching this when it aired and thinking it was such a wasted opportunity because it’s such a dismal account of what I’d seen them previously do so brilliantly.
Despite the chaos... it does all kinda hang together
its a fucking shambles.
actually a flawless perfomance
Look I love this shit so much, but there might have been maybe 1 or 2 flaws in there....... lol.
Beautiful chaos.
Best tv performance ever!
I've waited years for this upload
Deranged. Uninhibited. Chaotic. Frenetic. Brilliant
Best later guest band ever.
Saw them live years and yeads ago fantastic night
These guys and The Vines are the two most memorable Jools Holland performances for me
It's just awesome.
Everytime some asks me if I can play guitar, I say yes and show them Omar in this video. "Sounds just like that".
It's a masterpiece
I saw this on tv at the time. I was like 13 years old and had no musical reference for anything I was seeing haha. I got the album a couple years later and it just changed my whole musical identity
Great to see this!
It's such an organized mess.
I love it.
Just to be clear: this was not a protest against music industry, television or musivision. This was pure, perfect marketing. And, in my opinion, it was amazing.
Saw these guys Live in Melbourne maybe 2002 and it was awesome
Chaotic performance 😆legendary!! Exactly how I imagined it would be live lol
Can anybody tell me what Robbie Williams said when their performance started after this? I cannot tell, even i’ll never forget his face 🤣
"Can my mate have his chair back please?"
@@MercurialSilence who was he referring to? For years I thought the chair was for himself
@@chaosaintme9067 i think he means the chair tthat cedric was throwing on the stage
And two great albums were born after this performance, de -louseed in comatorium and wire tap scars.
Utterly magnificent...
I empathise extremely deeply with their drummer.
Remarkable that they all finished together, after having all been playing completely different songs.
This is some advanced shit ong
The way this is a showcase for the chaos of Omar’s guitar. The way he lost his first one like a minute into the song. It’s abrasive and noise and mess but it comes together so perfectly in these moments, it’s like some jagged art piece I love it
oh my god an HD version this... damn the Chair Flipping is awesome
beautiful
I used to listen to this album and wonder how the guitarists could remember all the different parts to the songs, which stomp boxes to stomp and when. Turns out they didn't even try to remember!
The energy on stage always in a league of its own
I'm so glad this footage exists
I used to watch this daily before it got removed. So glad it's back in glorious HD. What a moment in time.
