Tomas Kalnoky plays Fourty Days Acoustic

[mpraka]

would have loved to scream WHYYYYYYY!!!!!

[blister1324]

Tomas explains that while on stage ALONE he fucks up his lyrics. The band is nearly flawless when they all play together. I love Tomas's lyrics. They're so universal and well done.

Stay positive and keep loving music \nn/

[BUCollegeDems]

While I idolize this man, it's pretty lame that he forgets his own lyrics on all these videos.

[DonWheelerP]

@BUCollegeDems He's written about 40 songs that all have a lot of words to them, you can't really blame him for messing up once in a while.

[theodorepound]

@BUCollegeDems

There are alot of lyrics and they are fast man. and he has to play guitar...

I do all of them i know its actually hard.

[PawnshopID]

there's a video here on youtube of tool's maynard james keenan voice cracking during a performance, he throws the mic down and walks off the stage, shows over. everyone goes home.

tomas always delivers. annoying crowd, forgets his lyrics, fucks up the song, cracking voice, thieves steal all the bands shit. tomas still delivers.

[ohno2121212]

@PawnshopID wait people stole the bands stuff? id like to meet those people (readies baseball bat)

[haggardo]

Is he using and accent? Sounds like he is intentionally slurring his S word

[kedoi2]

Dude the voice cracks dont even bother me. They make the song seem more personal and real.

[noahstas]

@Everyone commenting at religious beliefs being a touchy subject... You don't really seem to mind putting down Tomas' beliefs if he is indeed atheistic or anything... why can't you just listen to it for the music?

[ObeseSpecOps]

Another video ruined by people shouting for Point/Counterpoint....

[benjula2008]

@ObeseSpecOps agreed.

[raiderrunner10]

agreed, it is one of my least favorite songs he's ever written

[TheGreatthenate]

How is respect owed for people trying to reandomly instigate inconsequential debate?... it is meaningless, thus stupid... and Jesus would agree with me...

I'm just wondering how any of this thread is relevant to "Tomas Kalnoky plays Fourty Days Acoustic"... haha, oh well...

[TheGreatthenate]

I don't know why I waste time reading comments... why do idiots use comment space on such a brilliant music video to spew their anti-God "logic" arguments?

If I may return to the subject at hand, Kalnoky is so brilliant... and I think it is so awesome that brilliant songwriters forget their own lyrics... or maybe they just pretend so we less brilliant people feel a little better about our inability to match their greatness...

Thank God for Mr. Kalnoky and his music!

[sirstanlee]

wow...idiot, huh?

Look, this goes for both you and misunderstoodmarshin--the original comment I made was in jest; it was a tongue-in-cheek statement that keeps in context with the theme of the entire SITB album.

Now, if I get "attacked" for my own statement regarding the subject on which many of these songs are based, I'll respond in turn...don't cry about it, and don't be so damn touchy feely while you "waste time" on other peoples' comments, fella...It's not what Jesus would do. Holy crap...

[Skachuck]

1:10

1:52

There's absolutely nothing worse for a singer's ego then his voice cracking while there are no musicians to cover it up...

[Grif5309]

Hey u fuckin basterd he prob was playin all day and he would lose his voice

so in other words FUCK U ASS WIPE!!!!!!!!!!

[Skachuck]

Why the hell are you insulting me? That wasn't even an attack directed at anyone, I'm just remarking, as a singer, that having your voice cracking is a bitch.

[alwaysblinkin182]

@Skachuck haha i have nothing agaisnt your statment... but you didnt have to point out where his voise cracked for everyone to see haha

[Skachuck]

@alwaysblinkin182

Meh, the guy is still probably the musician I respect THE most, he writes incredible lyrics, usually has an amazing vocal style. So yeah, I guess, I could have NOT commented about his voice cracking...

[ragnarokisnow]

well if chuck norris is god and kalnoky is greater then chuck norris doesnt that make kalnoky god?

[kmwarrior33]

no... that makes kalnoky BETTER than god

[Grif5309]

U r Right  man

srry but i didnt see your comment b4 i put mine

[derryckshizzletchs]

clearly better than god.

[BorednDisturbed]

No. This is from the Bible of Chuck:

"God said 'Let there be Light!'

Chuck Norris said, 'Say please.'"

Kalnoky is afraid of only one thing: himself. Chuck Norris is afraid of two things: Bruce Lee and Tomas Kalnoky.

[BlackHazeDCK]

SUPERGOD.

[Grif5309]

so lame dude so lame

he may be better than god

u r so lame

[Grif5309]

NO, it would make him bigger than god!!!

[sirstanlee]

who is this god character of whom you speak?

Kalnoky is real...let's not compare him to make believe entities.

[flamytheguy]

dont be putting down peoples beliefs man.

[sirstanlee]

Don't inhibit my freedom of speech to share mine.

Calling a god a make-believe entity is not putting down a belief, it's simply stating that my belief is that, since there is absolutely zero proof of a god actually existing, I think the current gods of religion are as mythological as ones of ancient times.

If there is good reason to believe a current belief triumphs where identical ones of ages past have failed, please point me in the direction of that proof...hell, I'll settle for logic.

[misunderstoodmarshan]

look, i agree, but religion is a touchy subject. have a little class and respect what other people believe too, when they get into your face with their beliefes, then you can get into their's.

[sirstanlee]

hmmm...religion is touchy, I'd agree.

Respect? I was making my comment, originally, as a tongue-in-cheek statement, but please don't preach respect to me about religion when, as you can see, the comments above mine show no respect to the/a god to which Tomas is being compared and said to be better than.

If you want me to respect religion based on disrespectful comments about religion, it's just not going to happen. That seems like a catch 22, but that would be disrespectful to SM...

[misunderstoodmarshan]

yea but they are funny...who cares if they are respectful or not its fun to laugh at other people's sake!

[MattIsNotBack]

this is the one and only guy i would go gay for......

what just me?

[seapathac]

No not just you... oh wait were you joking?

[drumgirl187]

yea he's deffinitely not joking. all my guy friends all the same. u guys are worse than the girls! haha

[Orizan]

I've got some money put away to buy 99 songs to revolution as soon as the fucking store opens lol

[quiltedbigfoot]

still waitin ...

[gweest10692]

fuck me kalnoky

[truedude616]

Why is he by himself?

[tonyy0]

It was just an acoustic set...

[Lobstarbudy]

because hes doing an acoustic tour?

[dimiltergo]

chuck norris sucks SKAlnoky's checkered dick!!!

[wtmyageagain]

tomas>chuck norris

[twisthorizon]

This is true.

[Rjmorg]

Tomas vs Chuck Norris =No Contest, Chuck Norris Automatically dies when he wears the name Tomas Kalnoky.

[purepwnage753]

1:10 - Epic voice crack.

[Ccskater182]

they will never sell out i no people that no them and they only play what they want

[masilis]

so when i streetlight exploding because it has to happen sometime neone i show em to falls in love

[SkaGuitarGuru]

Er...what?

[CAPUSA]

yeah really. Are you sure that's the order you meant to put those words in?

[LeperMessiah247]

i think what he/she meant was,

' so when is streetlight -> breaking up because it has to happen sometime. PAUSE. anyone i show 'em to, falls in love [with them]'

masilis.... try giving a shit about being comprehensible, if you're gonna post something? please? XD

[Limabean231]

Yeah he, means when are they going to hit it big, because everyone he introduces them to loves them.

But personally I don't really care whether they get big, I usually like smaller bands anyway. Less chance of them selling out or something.

[Piccleman]

Umm... I think you went the wrong way with that. I'm pretty sure he meant explode as in finally become a hugely known band, not break up.

[Rjmorg]

I think he is just a complete utter retard

[GI59SB]

if people are arguing over what they think you said, you know you're a retard

[saxxytenor01]

*voice crack*

"i heard that"

lol

[SkankinFlamingo]

Tomas Kalnoky = The jesus of Ska

[streetlightm1313]

it should be be just

Tomas kalnoky= jesus

[SkankinFlamingo]

yeah i heard he did cure a man from being blind, tomas and his jesus powers, what a hero

[streetlightm1313]

hmm maybe thats ow he spends his spare time

besides writing the best fucking music every made

[SkankinFlamingo]

writes the best music, saves tokyo from Godzilla, he even invented water, this man has done it all

[streetlightm1313]

you know how people say jesus turned water to wine ( sorry if i got it wrong i don't belive in that stuff anyways) anyway people who say that are wrong, i bleive tomas did that

[SkankinFlamingo]

it would make sense, tomas is just that amzing

[streetlightm1313]

yes he is

[mugenhead]

I love every streetlight song except ... no wait... they ALL rule! Along with BOTAR and Gimp and Keasby

[SKA92994]

I was there,and him and Jim Conte autographed my phone =)

[DaiLiSecretPolice]

the lyrics are amazing to this song, you gotta question whether or not he's religious

[onewing949]

that looked like one amazing concert. He messed up on a few of the other videos but still that would be awsome to see.

[brybrytrudy]

cant wait for the new cd to come out, all covers

[richiemaris]

is this rally how we spell 40...how old are you FORTY...love the vid tho

[LocoDonkey]

I don't know why, but this is my least favorite Streetlight song. Next to Giving Up, Giving In.

[barimaphone]

you know, i had that mindset for a while too...but they eventually grew on me after i tried listening to them again

[LocoDonkey]

well I've listened to Giving Up, Giving In around 20 times. Hate it every time.

[flm410]

I've never heard a streetlight song I didn't like.

[LocoDonkey]

I just don't like Giving Up, Giving In and The Big Sleep. That's it. Every other streetlight song I love.

[N4SER1]

those are like the best songs!

[streetlightm1313]

i can see how you wouldn't like giving up giving in

persona;;y i like it but its lower on my streetlight song list for favorties

but dude big sleep is a masterpiece, it is peer genius

[LocoDonkey]

well, i did post that comment like 5 months ago. I like big sleep now. But I like Giving Up Giving In better on the Catch 22 version of the album.

[soloartist2010]

i love em all! this is one of my favorites because its got a bit of funk to it.

[LocoDonkey]

After I listened to this a few times, it grew on me. But I still don't like Giving Up, Giving In.

[walid626]

i must admit, tomas kalnoky sounds so much better with the rest of the band.

[matt4596]

there was a giant dome tent set up over the giant's practice field outside giants stadium. it was in there.

[mannwhosoldtheworld]

He forgets the lyrics because he's used to singing strong with the rest of the band behind him. when he has to sing quieter with the acoustic, he loses the tune and melodie in his head.

[drumbum167]

at like 1:10 his voice cracks lol, this is amazing

[kummal]

oh my god... what would i give to see this live...

[thestormlscoming]

wheres the rest of the band?

[godfadda006]

This was just his 30-minute acoustic set in the afternoon. The band played a normal set that night.

[MattIsNotBack]

he keeps asking asknig them what the lyrics to the songs are, hysterical in my opinion

[matt4596]

this was at night and the normal set was during the afternoon.

but the rest of the band are just off stage to his right. you can see during the video he keeps looking towards them occasionally.

[tomaskalnoky]

i write great songs. and remember kids, nobody's gonna hold your hand on the day you die.

[streetlightfan692]

Does anyone know what guitar he is using. I think its a takamine but i want to know the model name

[SiriuslyBright33]

ahah I love how I can see myself...

what an imaculate set...

[dielon63]

i didnt even know tomas did an acoustic set... HELL YEA

[btp907]

anyone know where to find any of his acoustic tabs?

[barimaphone]

just take the normal chords and play them in normal fashion...i.e. no bar chords. throw in some hammer ons and you've got it.

[BurnItUp879]

1:08 ish SQUEAKER!! haha i love this man

[vmb0418]

to bad he wouldn't play point/ counterpoint

[crappuccino6210]

i think he just wants to grow and let what hes done be done... in five years people will probably be screaming play 40 days at his shows and hell keep on insisting that he was young when he wrote that song too and that it was part of the past or whatever. at least hes maintaining his awesomness, even if he doesnt think his past shit is all that great.

[Hunter623]

Or, y'know, it wouldn't work as an acoustic song, like he said.

[TubaBubba]

I'm pretty sure he likes his past shit, he just wants to play the new stuff because he's played the old shit so often.

[streetlightm1313]

you fail

[vmb0418]

i was there that day that was very funny, tomas was awsome

[slmanifesto05]

i love this man

[HeaDoNCoLLiSioN8]

all hail the god.

I'm proud to be part of the United Keasbian Church of Kalnoky

[mrwaffles42]

Amen, brotha! Preach it!

This man is my idol.

[muziklvr1714]

my the almighty tomas kalnoky have mercy on our souls when we pass on

[HeaDoNCoLLiSioN8]

I'm a sista by the way.

[JohsG1234]

This man speaks the truth Hail

[SkankinFlamingo]

in Kalnoky we trust

[nimrodisnifty]

amen.
