This and That

1) The first video(starting from the top) is Omar playing with The Mars Volta. The song is called "Vermicide" from their 3rd studio release "Amputechture". The second is their latest single "The Malakin Jewel" from their 6th album "Noctourniquet". I personally enjoy "Vermicide" more, I've always thought Omar's best guitar work was on "Amputechture". Which song do you think is better?

2) The first image is Omar's solo album named "Solar Gambling" released in 2009. The artwork is done by Sonny Kay.

 This is Omar's fifth studio album released in 2007. The artist for the album cover is unkown, but I love the graffiti look it has to it and is definitely my favorite of the two. Which album cover do you like more? 

3) This guitar is a Squier Super Sonic that Omar played during his time with At-The Drive In.

This is Omar's signature guitar- the Ibanez ORM1WH. I'm a huge fan of this over the Squier guitar he played. It sounds great plugged in and it plays like a charm. Which guitar do you like better?

 This is Omar's solo project named "Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group". This album was his fifth release and featured other musicians such as Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, John Frusciante, Money Mark and John Theodore. It was also his first to reach the Billboard charts at number 40.

 Omar wrote and produced a film named "The Sentimental Engine Slayer" in 2010. It has appeared in many film festivals around the world.

 Omar plays an Ibanez ORM1WH, a guitar meant for effects, making it effective for playing loud and fast.

This is Omar with Cedric Bixler-Savala, vocalist of The Mars Volta. The two have played together for 19 years dating back to their first band At The Drive-In (1993-2001), and then The Mars Volta (2001-present). They also have collaborated on many different musical projects together.
