Should we make notes of all the deaths in his life? We have Julio Venegas, The two chicks from The Fall on Deaf Ears and Jeremy Ward

He is hispanic right?

Yes, he is.69.235.170.121 05:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)James Lopez

[edit] Vegan

Cedric is not a true Vegan, as he eats honey. So I believe we should make note of this, instead of deleting every single fact that I add on here. WTF is up with the homosexual feelings and speculated drug-use? We keep that but we take out known unbiased facts? Cedric eats honey, he considers himself a vegan, but not a vegan-nazi (someone who is crazy about making sure they don't eat any animal products whatsoever). There is leather in his shoes, and he doesn't care. Also, Cedric is CLEARLY influenced by Jim Morrison, as you can tell from his live performances, such as falling on the ground, or going into a trance, or making fun of the audience and giving speeches. Please do not delete everything I add without giving a reason, just edit it to make it fit the page better. Also, I believe we should make note of Cedric's disdain for the church, and organized religion in general.

You can't put the Morrison thing in there unless you can cite cedric stating him as an influence, otherwise its opinion. Additionally cedric claims to be a vegan, you can't change what he said, if you want to make your honey thing clear, head over to the articles pertaining to veganism and add those facts in there.

How on earth do you know that it is an inside joke with the sexual feelings for Omar bit? I think its total bollocks. And where has anyone speculated on Cedric's drug use? Almost this entire page lacks a NPOV.

I didn't write the article, feel free to remove those statements if you wish. Zopwx2 05:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] De-Loused in the Comatorium

Could we get an outside link setup to the book of the same name of the album? Leo Collin 00:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What?

"Omar Rodriguez-Lopez even commented that the amount of distortion on Cedric's voice in The Mars Volta precludes their need for a rhythm guitarist."

That doesn't make sense. --Macarion 21:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

- I agree. I removed it because there is no source and it really does not make any sense. --Olliemilne 22:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doesn't make sense

This section doesn't make total sense to me:

"Closer to the Dub of De Facto and the ambient experimentation shown in The Mars Volta and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez records than the prog-rock of The Mars Volta," I'm not totally sure what it's meant to say either..

--Ciaranpower 18:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

--I think they were trying to say that Cedric's single is more like Defacto and Omar's solo work than TMV in that its quite bass driven and atmospheric, but they put "The Mars Volta" twice so it makes no sense. I'll try and make it make more sense. --Olliemilne 19:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Drugs

It has ben stated repetedly that they have "quit doing drugs" yet numerous times (since the death of jeremy ward) both him and omar have been seen smoking pot. now i do believe that they have quit using harder substances like heroin and dmt, yet theh obviously still smoke the occasional joint. the article should either be edited to reflect this, or all mentions of drugs omitted completely.69.213.152.83 21:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe its been changed to "quit using narcotics" in order to get across that they don't use heroin but continue to smoke marijuana.

But, doesn't marijuana count as a narcotic too?Marijuana--Fhqwgads 02:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

No, marijuana isn't a narcotic. It is widely incorrectly called one, however. It should probably be changed to "quit using opioids." --Macarion 04:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnicity is Relevant

Cedric should be included in the listing of Mexican-American musicians/celebrities/singers/etc, as he is Mexican-American and draws upon his Latino heritage for musical and lyrical influence.69.235.170.121 05:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)James Lopez

[edit] Origin?

so in his infobox, it states that he was born in california and then right under that it says "Origin: El Paso, Texas".... can somebody fix... something? or at least explain to me why his "origin" is different than his place of birth.

I didn't write the article but apparently he was born in CA, but spent the majority of his life living and growing up in El Paso. So I dunno if someone asked him where he was from he'd say El paso? Zopwx2 18:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
