The Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala: “No More ‘Unc’ Rock At The End Of ‘Alien: Earth’ Episodes”

If you watched the first season of “Alien: Earth,” you may have noticed that each episode ends with a track from a rock/metal artist. Among the bands featured were Metallica, Tool, Godsmack, Queens Of The Stone Age, etc. While the soundtrack was cool for metalheads, it appears not everyone was onboard with it. One of those critics was The Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who said the following:

“No more “Unc” rock at the end of alien earth episodes please. Fucking monster energy drink bullshit.”

He also had an exchange with a fan:

Fan: “Wait what’s wrong with Tool and QOTSA?“

Bixler-Zavala: “Nothing at all. It just doesn’t fit on that show. It feels like Nancy Reagan pushing her DARE agenda on me but with that kinda music”
