Molotov: Band
built 613 days ago
Besides the chaotic live show, Molotov has become an outspoken lightning rod in the rock community. In its most recent episode, the band provoked the ire of Jorge Vergara, the owner of the Guadalajara Chivas soccer club. Molotov recorded "Me Vale Vergara," which likened Vergara to a pompous nitwit. Infuriated, Vergara challenged the band to bet on a soccer match between Chivas and the band's hometown club, Los Pumas. Pumas won 1-0, and Vergara made good, forking over the game's earnings—1 million pesos, or around $60,000—to a pediatric AIDS charity in Mexico.

Argentine rock band Babasonicos shook the crowd with a moving performance of "El Colmo." The Cure hit the stage for an encore performance of "The End of The World," while Molotov turned up the notch with their entertaining performance of "Yofo". The night came to a climactic end when host Diego Luna was finally able to form his sought after tribute band, consisting of himself, Miranda!, Kudai, and Los Concorde, to honor Soda Stereo with their song, "De Musica Ligera." Soda Stereo presented the first award of the evening in a surprise appearance.

In February of 2003, Molotov guitarist Tito Fuentes expressed the band’s opposition to the imminent U.S. war with Iraq – “We’re not in favor of Bush’s proposal.... It’s an anti-gringo, anti-Bush posture.” Certainly, opposition to Gulf War II is not necessarily the same thing as being anti-American. But why didn’t Fuentes just criticize the war without calling his posture “anti-gringo?” Why, indeed?
