Excreations - The Fall of Troy

[platymunstah]

I hope they got to finish that fucking song.

[inkBot7]

thomas was a very big chunk of the artistic side too. andrew kicked ass. rumours all say thomas wrote all their songs but only they know what was really happening

[theblindsniper]

I just noticed that the bass drum has "Creation" on it. Am I to believe that The Fall of Troy were so damn epic that they prophetized the breaking of the bass drum to begin with?!

That seems valid to me.

[Nosaj990]

the biggest mistake was tim leaving he was the artistic side of the band, frank was good but his vox didnt go w/ eraks

[TheBANDEMIC]

does anyone notice how he loops that lil lick before he stops playing. just noticed that.

[detox2retox]

They all look so young. They must've been 19 or 20 around this time

[antlulz]

1.10 thomas erak becomes so eccentric that he makes the video lag.

[blackorpheliac1]

He didnt do the beginning pinch harmonic :(

[MrHIMlover]

how do you scream and play such a badass guitar at the same time?

[Hellion6325]

The Fall of Troy: Making Drums, Bass and Guitar unnecessarily hard since 2002..

[FyllePaal]

Hahaha, they have looped melodies playing when their shows get interrupted xD

[HUNTERSMITHYO]

@FyllePaal Yeah...all melodies from a loop station. Not a backing track if that's what your thinking.

[FyllePaal]

@HUNTERSMITHYO I think he recorded it the time it happened.

[NOBAMAftw]

Amazing composers, Thomas is unique as a musician

[XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn]

love Erak...like...i'm in love.

[iloverush123]

Anyone know what the problem was with the bass drum? Was it a bad mic?

[BlueAvenue22]

@iloverush123 I dont think it was the mic because andrew wasnt playing it at all. Im pretty sure he kicked right through it with the mallet

[almostSK8ER51]

Thomas is a fucking genius!

[Hirschtodblind]

I want the whole footage of this gig, including HORSE the band. That would be awesome.

[fujiwarataku]

life sucks cause this video is not complete for the bassdrum. i guess is just the mortal instruments aren't made for gods.

[3metaller]

xD?

[crazymanny707070]

BONER!!!!!



[Hellion6325]

WHAT? WHY? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BASS DRUM? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LIFE IS GONNA END

[mariorossipuzza]

excuse me, what happened to the drums?

[RinkashiBish]

Dood....Fuck Yeah.

[MegaKlaxons]

i wish i liked this band back when they were together unfortunetly i wnt be able to see them live :(((((

[mikeportnoyfan]

who ever mixed the drums fucked up really bad

[cronos02]

What do you expect from 3 pieces band? Someone have to entertain the audience and he does his duty very well even his technique not good as zakk wylde or whoever but it's good enough for his music and he sing better than many vocals who don't play a guitar.

[Kraized]

Haha guy owned his drum. Thats pretty awesome!!!

[HAN56HAN]

Ah, the days of Tim Ward =( I'll miss you buddy

[toastysammich]

thomas was wearing really tight pants you can see his balls

[primozuado]

WEATHER OR NOT YOU, REMEMBER!!

[nicobike]

where can I get the full show bootleg??? could anyone hook me up with any link

[metaller8]

Like Nirvana meets Between The Buried And Me.

[mynamearekid]

Drool at 0:41

[Cuervo4992]

there drums seem to break allot hahaha

[VegasSkateCulture]

that guitar was not screaming when he pinched the note :(

[branofnamebran]

we used to have music like this, then we let our kids buy shit like what you see everywhere today...

[highvoltage80GB]

Lol WTF they didn't have a bass drum I still love this one thought

[ArmageddonProphet]

They broke their bass drum... THE FUCKING DRUMS CAN'T TAKE THE POWER OF REAL MUSIC!!!!!!

[abarbar06]

@ArmageddonProphet hmm... i think thats misusing an instrument because they arent playing REAL music. i dont think pete townshend or jimi hendrix intended to play music by destroying guitars.

[StartSelect1]

@abarbar06 stfu you absolute nub.

[abarbar06]

@StartSelect1 just sayin, destroying instruments dose not equate to making music

[StartSelect1]

@abarbar06 Yeah i dont think he purposely broke his bass drum...

[Hirschtodblind]

@abarbar06

So you're the god able to judge whether something is real music or not.

I'm so glad I found you. Show us the way, o mighty lord...

[RandomTheroy]

@Hirschtodblind thomas is god silly

[Hirschtodblind]

@RandomTheroy

I didn't mean to offense your religious believes^^

[hardvin1]

Yo quiero que vuelvan de nuevo!!!

[jobkuizenga]

sloppy

[regdar117]

@jobkuizenga Kinda like your mother. STALLOWNED!!!

[jobkuizenga]

@regdar117 haha stallowned XD? cant say anthing to that

[xX0Jota0Xx]

first time i heard this song, i though it was horrible. now i cant stop listening to it. it's genious

[shadowoble101]

wow i seen the other live at the norva videos but i musta missed this one.

[shawn123465]

woah. this guys on crack. i like it

[RastaAfro1]

I just wanna punch somebody when i hear this song!!!!

[hellaphants89]

he shreds so hard that the camera freezes

[Dipp16]

fucking drummer has ennnneerrrggy

[AhCwap]

this is a bit too emo for my liking tbh.... not to crazy about the pedal abuse either... i do like the guitarists sense of fashion though as i can see his erection peaking through those jeans. tim ward is my favorite cousin though :)

[DudeGuitar95]

@AhCwap How's that emo xD ?

[despairr]

@a1gold174 So just because you have a "life" means it's okay to type like a complete retard? And please find a better excuse than the age old OMG I HAS A LIFE bullshit. Everyone has a life and their own shit to do.

[a1gold174]

I know you have no life because you're purposefully trying to get into a fight on youtube.

[ThrashKurava]

What happened in the end of the video? Bass drum gone bad?

[Booglyboogly]

sucks they're braking up they are savage live

[tailtaptailtap]

best band, so funny how prog they are, they wont even finish the song without the bass drum, haha

[music7598]

Haah I"m a girl.

Well my brother tried teaching me haha!

[Dennissays]

I'll definitely be seeing them when they come to Grand Rapids.

[OutlawJoseyWales44]

R.I.P The Fall of Troy

[music7598]

I love this song!

Thomas looks so much better with shorter hair like this and no beard XD

My bro can play this!! Its not that hard

[monsturzaddicton]

if i could play this......

[christabobslavinosky]

Man this is rediculous! Dudes kill it.

[SymphanyinSorrow]

even though they didnt finish the song they made the outro awsome and its still one of the best performances ever!!!! one time thomas get so pissed off at the technical difficulties he just threw some shit and sat down and refused to play till it was fixed...we all must worship him

[REPTARisGNARLY]

I wish they would do some instrumentals. They are all so talented at their instruments, it would be interesting to see what they could come up with.

[TDWPKid95]

Your a god yourself, Just cause you thought of that LoL

[theblindsniper]

You should listen to the Phantom on the Horizon re-recordings that they did. They are AMAZING. There are some vocals in I think one of the songs but wow, just truly amazing.

[Draculoid]

have you even listened to it? Theres vocals in all the songs dumb ass....

[theblindsniper]

WOW way to be a jackass, it's not about whether or not there's fucking vocals or not, more so the fact that they are GREAT. And yes, I have listened to them but for some reason I guess at the time I thought it was instrumental for most of the album since I hadn't listened to it in a while.

Go back to watching Hellsing.

[Draculoid]

your just dumb....theres blantantly vocals in every song...to say there is maybe SOME vocals in MAYBE one of the songs just sounds like an odd thing to say for a Fall of Troy fan...sorry...

[theblindsniper]

LMFAO well SORRY for not being so precise in everything to do with every band in the world. I just thought there would have been one or two songs that I thought were pure instrumental from the album but clearly I was wrong, simple as that.

And btw, it's "you're", sorry, that just annoys me. :]

[Draculoid]

"sorry for not being so precise in everything to do with every band in the world."

What a ridiculous, toddler like thing to say. Noone said anything like that, also your still a terrible fall of troy fan, i stand by what i said originally. What you said was stupid, thats all there is to it.

[theblindsniper]

haha well you must be the most amazing Fall of Troy fan in the world...honestly, gauging how much someone loves a band or their music by them just making a simple mistake is actually much more of a toddler thing to imply...

I made a mistake, I admitted it. Now grow up and just appreciate the music, not call people dumb asses for making a simple little mistake. I thought they had done some songs pure instrumental, clearly I was wrong.

End of story.

[Myung13]

@Draculoid

you're a bell end. stop being such a TFOT fanclub nazi.

[Notespompon]

@REPTARisGNARLY Lol.. they do instrumentals.. but sing over them.

[falloftroy555222]

@REPTARisGNARLY i agree with you man, if just they wouldnt break up!!! they coulld do some sweet instrumental shit

[StartSelect1]

@REPTARisGNARLY You really need to check out the ghostship EPs... fall of troy instrumentals!

[Kalixter]

@REPTARisGNARLY ghostship demos dude..



[MrChickenLegs27]

they were with poisen the well? lol i saw poisen the well, am taxi, and billy talent live once lol

[1ocmer1]

this song is win D:

[windinhishair10]

Lol the drums say creation!

[axxewraith]

Does he put that little riff on the loop pedal to fill the silence ?

haha

[Grifgarz]

You mean the delay pedal in the begining?

or the riff at the end when the bass drum breaks?

[axxewraith]

The end when it breaks

[SomeoneMustGetHurt]

yeah ur right obviously he planned ahead in case something messed up :P

haha

[tpain112111]

what is with these kids these days the fight over vid comments wtf and yea austin we now

[sediver3]

i think he mentioned poison the well and horse the band but i couldn't get the third one if there was a thirt one...

[crazycyamaha]

1:21

Awesome air guitar!

[lynninator30]

you mean tapping?

[crazycyamaha]

No, I meant the guy in the crowd doing the worship guitar hand

he looks like he'd be like 'GIVE ME MORE!'

[lynninator30]

k thank god your not some kid being an idiot lol

[crazycyamaha]

nah, i'm a guitarist too...i know what he's doing haha

[dancegavin110]

lmao. "you mean tapping?"

[lynninator30]

yeah nathan we figured it out so uh your kinda late on the whole conversation so FUCK YOU

[brenisacorgi]

Jesus christ they're amazing live, lol.

[supermario2100]

I really hope these guys do a live DVD soon. It would seriously be amazinggg. Its almost mindblowing how energetic and fast he can be at the same time live, and still pull off the song almost perfectly.

[masterohumans]

They really ought to under produce all their albums. This sounds much better.

[raavnhom]

Did anyone end up giving them a bass drum?

[s1lv3r23]

"this song is a little bit on the heavier side for us.."

this song is not heavy whatsoever.

[HawkSoccer10]

he didn't say it was HEAVY.

he said it was HEAVIER for THEM.

and if a member of a band says that,

they know more of what they're talking about

than a fan. or some kid on YouTube.

[ForebodinglyLost]

For Us - He never said it was heavy. He said it was heavy for them

[omgitsme1312]

I love the way thomas just plays some stuff on loop and lets it go lol

[guycholler]

these guys are fucking talented

[Bucketboy75]

they`re fucking awesome live.

[BMTHRULEZZZ]

00:40 00:43 spit flys out of his mouth.

I love it

[doyochainhangloww]

the best song at this particular show i think was Macaulay McCulkin, they got pretty nuts by the end of that song.

[punkXrockX123]

andrews drums always seem to stop working. lolz

[HaroldFeldberg]

They can't handle his kind of "special"

haha

[NavaroneZomb]

IM seeing these guys on oct 11th FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cakeman81]

this guy plays fucking fast.

[aJazzcat]

TFoT is an acquired taste...like sea urchin: you throw up from it the first time or like it right away, liking it better the more you eat it XD

damn that's a shitty analogy...

[JonnyTheWaffle]

dude, these guys are amazing....

[HAN56HAN]

Andrew was probably thinking "Oh shit, seriously?"

Tim Ward, "Yawn, no bass solos =(."

Thomas,"Fuck you Andy."

[peteleyPJS]

tom could pull off a one man band. play guitar, sing/scream, play drums with his feet, play bass with his teeth...

[peteleyPJS]

actually he could play bass with his mind

[a1gold174]

hahaha 1:10 the camera can't take Tom's awesomeness.

[JohnnyLibertine]

@a1gold174 he is sick riffin at t=80 sec

[PonyboyLegends]

I just love how calm and comical he is when Andy's bass drum dies.

[a1gold174]

That makes him even more faggoty.

[a1gold174]

Nope, just listening to this awesome music and i scrolled down to see if ur sorry ass had said anything to make himself look like even more of a douchebag. And that "slapping" is called tapping you ignorant asshole. If u knew anything about music, u would realize this isn't bad, u just don't like it. Big difference. Don't say something sucks if u don't like it, asshole. And if u hate this, why watch/ comment? GO GET UR COCK SUCKED LIKE A NORMAL KID! o wait, ths right, no women would ever touch u

[DystopianEmpire]

The whole point of TFoT is to break song writing conventions. Do you play any instruments?

[bwalter32]

This is what happens when you give retards instruments.

[a1gold174]

No, bwalter32, u r wht happens when you give a retard a computer.

[a1gold174]

No response? thats wht i thought, u little bitch.

[dreaminXsoXinsane]

Well said a1gold174 and R2D2!

[dreaminXsoXinsane]

If you would like to get technical dude, it is fuckin' with an apostrophe.

[RoCkErOOSTArR]

sta chida la tokada

[fredtisdale]

All you people are massively retarded. Have you ever tried playing and singing/screaming this song at the same time? Then you have absolutely no idea how amazing this is. Just grow some balls and stop complaining. If you don't like it then don't watch it.

[theblitz8]

nice screaming thomas

[Imotsdragoon]

And he's got the screaming of pain to go with it. Too bad he's enjoying it else i would have had sympathy

[scorpionvssubzero]

hahaha, man i dunno how your mate thought this was better than Amon Amarth, no taste i guess. This is just a lot of bad noise. Hell i can scream like that no worries, and i reckon we could play this stuff even at our level lol.

[Imotsdragoon]

This just has fail and cancer.

He looks like he is having a massive cock shoved up his ass.

[scorpionvssubzero]

looks like is an understatement, hes got a whole fucking train up there. come on, hes using an orange amp and it sounds like fail. the very essence of it

[adio222]

anyone upstairs that has a baaaaaassss druuuuuuuuummmm? so we can finish this song?

[Safijah]

lmao, eh?

what the hell happened anyways?

[Gavinalltheway]

Don't listen to them bowchikibowow if you don't like the screaming. It is one of the reason why this band is amazing. What i'm trying to say is that The Fall of Troy wouldn't be the same with out the screaming.

[bowchikibowow]

they'd be a lot better if they got rid of the screaming and replaced it with the kind of talking that he did at :58

[sediver3]

how can't you love these guys??

[scorpionvssubzero]

i have testicles is how

[bokiebok123]

holy mother of god hes great

[HAN56HAN]

What kind of guitar is Tommy Boy using?

[ELM3RBEATLES]

well thats like his favorite guitar,

he uses it all d time

hes using a gibson les paul double cutaway plus top (root beer finish)

and its fucking siiiiiiick, d seymour duncan humbukers its got shiine!!!!!!

[alchadema]

how can you head bang and shred like that.....dude i quit guitar lol

[ELM3RBEATLES]

GOD!! im a guitarist and all and no matter wat song or tempo i cnt bang my head or jump or anything while playing just like Erak cuz i get the song completely out of whack sooo i might need to practice on a crap

[MSher21]

sickest song. how does he shred like that???

[spezy93]

i think the fall of troy should have a live dvd.

it would be awesome, just sayin... :P

[Cocain3Cowboy]

dude to play that and sing like that... cocaine

[3058FTW]

It's still evident

[RizzoSaurusRex]

i fucking wish this much energy could be captured on the recorded version on the album

Fucking A MAN!

[fradooodle]

nope

[bigace511]

Fall of troy has incredible talent, but i hate when people say its all pedal effects, delays, and loops. which is true, but come on, its all done by one guy one guitar. Give Thomas his fucking credit...

[kjhovey]

Hmmm, I rarely hear people say it's all effects. I normally see people talk about how well Erak plays improv and what not. I do see some people (guitar hero kids) talk like that, which pisses me off. Other than that, people usually recognize Erak's ridiculous talent.

[Lemonncloud]

Yeah and they also forget how hard it is to Sing and play like that at the same time.

[adio222]

lol and i love how guitar hero kids think they can play a song on guitar from guitar hero

[nbrigmon]

guitar hero kids fucking blow.

i dont like tfot half as much as i did because of those douches

[kjhovey]

I mean, I don't find anything wrong with the game itself, it's fun, but I do hate when kids get into a band like TFOT for just that song. FCPREMIX isn't a good song to see how TFOT usually is. I don't know why you'd like them less because of that, though... it's not like TFOT has went mainstream or anything, they are creating the same awesomeness they always have.

[adims654]

exactly i hate when people say they know them from guitar hero only

[JoeytheBassPlayer]

i mean dude i love the fall of troy.

they are and always will be my favorite band.

and i do love fcpremix.

i think its a great song.

definitly not their best.

ghostships are easily the best.

but they are going more mainstream.

i mean i like all of their new stuff but like their new single is nothing like the fot i fell in love with.

[JoeytheBassPlayer]

back in tom's rickenbacker days were the best.

although frank black kills.

:)

[thezeronobodywants]

intence:]. some peple dont appreitiate thier creative style. I believe they have so much talent

anybody
