[alyssaT210]

Anthony Padilla brought me here 3

[Zumehh27]

"She was nothing more than a game to me anyways".

This song hurts me. Lolololol.

[McDildy]

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH­HHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HDSJ­KCHSJK;DFVB

[NightmareBlackBlaze]

reminds me of the old days of 2005-2008

[NightmareBlackBlaze]

wow so awesome so under-rated ...

[evilthanos23]

Epic...new morning song right here

[juanjijon]

@1Sifting they are not emo you idiot

[juanjijon]

@1Sifting they are not post hardcore, watch an interview they explain the type of music that they are... and you re calling me a kid haha. emos are shity people that copied a lot of aspects of other social subgroups, they make look bad at all the goth people, the fall of troy is progressive rock and a bit metalcore that are the words of thomas erak and I don't think that he knows less than you, about the music he is doing.... you know nothing about the fall of troy.

[nubzar1]

@juanjijon people are people? we arent soupcans how about that, and music is just music

[FatalErrorVafan]

Then nothing is emo. I'm fine with that.

[XxTheCleansingxX]

@1Sifting There not even close to being emo. Do they look like they we're emo? No... So go get yourself some fucking lessons on The Fall of Troy history.

[Shaunapeedy]

omg i love tfot!!! <3 :)

[Tytyshortfry]

3:56 all hell breaks loose

[jeeshwa123]

Fall of Troy got me through some rough times. I heard Manipulator in a time where everything felt hopeless. And Thomas sang along. He's also a large influence on my guitar playing.

Thank you for all the help, FoT :)

[blackorpheliac1]

The bass did it for me in this.

[Tytyshortfry]

i loove right at 2:57 drums and guitar go together perfectly

[Hellion6325]

I loved The Fall of Troy for a bit now, how did I not know this epic song ;_;

[EpsilonX]

pretty sure this is my favorite TFOT song.

[lietomepleaselie]

feel that fucking knife run through.

[mrsevent7]

I love the ending

[Bencake1337]

favorite fall of troy song ever.

[toniox91]

4:27 OF EPIC INSTRUMENTALIVOCALISTIC

[fergar0206]

Holy fuck Im addicted to this song, I listen to it at least once a day and now that I learned to play its the first thing I play whenever I pick up a guitar.

[semifiction123]

even my user name is based to this song

[XXmrsWay]

Anthonny Padilla brought me here

[FyllePaal]

@XXmrsWay HOW??? Does Smosh listen to The fucking Fall of Troy?

[XXmrsWay]

@FyllePaal YES! Anthony is a huge fan. in some of their videos he wears fall of troy shirts, and on his personal youtube acc he plays air-guitar to this specific song!

[FyllePaal]

@XXmrsWay He just became 3x cooler. I'm gonna watch that video right now, haha

[juanjijon]

@XXmrsWay thats awesome!

[improfessoradam]

@XXmrsWay me 2! i accauly forgot that but he got me into metal music

[claus5559]

@XXmrsWay FUCK YEAH!!! MEE TOOO :P

[TheFreakazoid97]

@XXmrsWay It's Anthony.

[XXmrsWay]

@TheFreakazoid97 I know that. It was a typo fail from my keyboard. It says sorry.

[longstar56]

i wuv teh fall of troy

[sinicul]

I never really gave this album a real listen through. Now I'm regretting it because this is "le shit"

[ASirensSoliloquy]

@sinicul le shit le shit!

[2Reed0]

awesome song

[yz125ryder]

SHE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A GAME TO ME ANYWAYS

[Zisaar]

awesome picture

[Offxthexwalll12]

i miss them so much<3

[FerretxMagic]

god... this is AMAZING!

[thegrungewave]

i fuckin luv 2:10-2:28! fuck yeah!

[JustinCaparas]

@thegrungewave lol i fuckin luv the whole song...

[thegrungewave]

@JustinCaparas yeah, me too. i'm just pointing out that part cuz it's fuckin amazing.

[missmumble420]

I fucking love this fucking song.

[Cuervo4992]

can i get some amp settings for this song? anyone?

[rsranger7]

I'm probably not the only one to say this but the chorus sounds like And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman by Dance Gavin Dance. I love this song <3

[jeeshwa123]

@XxDarkEmoCupcakexX fall of troy has been described in the past as "progressive punk", which I think is pretty fitting. others say "post hardcore" which could also work.

[naked166]

@jeeshwa123 I don't know... They don't seem to really fit in with any genre. They're just very unique. I couldn't catagorize them if i tried haha.

[Cuervo4992]

@jeeshwa123 no it's jazz cause that's what his style is mostly composed of. i like to believe there are no genres cause it just causes to much of and issue with everyone fighting over what it really is or could be...

[danielsoberanis]

@XxDarkEmoCupcakexX

[toolkun0805]

This song is so good on acid.

[Nox568]

@XxDarkEmoCupcakexX you cant put tfot under a certain genre imo.

[beefcake8888]

I always refer to this as Ghostship VI. Only true fans know what i mean.

[CrimsonGenocide573]

@beefcake8888 too bad its Ghostship part VII, part VI is "Forebodingly Lost" which was never recorded

[jlaw666]

the riff at 1:43 in this song is a direct rip-off of the opening riff of Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt by The Mars Volta

[moggieman10]

@jlaw666 woah!!!!

[ilikePIEandPIE123456]

@jlaw666 you must have been phlegmatic in stature

sorry. ya got it in my head

[iwishiwasthercktmn]

@jlaw666 feelsbadman.jpg

[riseagainstbestpunk]

I've definetly heard this song when i was little. Sounds so familiar



[EpsilonX]

@riseagainstbestpunk this song is only a couple years old...

[1994AlmostSkater]

Why the hell is "Holiday (the girlie show)" in the related videos??

[ftkmnm]

AHHmazing

[GHwiiPlayer59]

why do people say the band sucks, yet there watching there videos?

[raininginmycranium]

fantastic song and band

[BrunnerzTube]

havent heard this in years! forgot how good they are!

[joshingledew]

sounds like at the drive in, definatley has the same energy emotion and effect as them anyway, vocals sound like cedric. god this song is so fucking good, in fact the full album is a fucking masterpeice. my favorties are 1. the dark trail 2 semi fiction

3. quater past 4. oh the casino 5. fcpremix 6. shh if your quiet i'll show you a dinasaur

[BrokenShoreLineInc]

you know

I downloaded their first 3 albums and I always avoided this one for some reason but for the last couple of days Ive had all 5 on shuffle and the tracks on this one ALWAYS catch my attention the most.

[mrandy]

Sounds like a combination of Sikth and The Mars Volta.

But nowhere near as good as those two bands.

[BrokenShoreLineInc]

Nothing Like Sikth :S totally different styles too

[Satoshikuun]

@mrandy

Those bands are nothing compared to The Fall of Troy. (:

[mrandy]

@Satoshikuun The first 2 Volta albums are untouchable in comparison, this sounds watered down in both melody and rock.

It's like emo trying to be something it's not.

[Satoshikuun]

@mrandy

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Doppleganger and Phantom on the Horizon DESTROYS those piece of crap albums. Like I said, don't compare such a band to The Fall of Troy.

Thomas Erak's vocals are amazing in the song, alongside his amazing guitar solo. When the bands you stated can do what TFOT does, then you can talk all your shit.

[maju36able]

@Satoshikuun sikth can play the fuck outta the fall of troy dude.. and the main reason thomas plays is cuz of the mars volta..

[jakeK88]

@maju36able to say he "plays cuz of the mars volta" is just plain stupid. fuckin retard

[maju36able]

@jakeK88 not really dumbass i play cuz of system of a down and these guys... hes said that that was one of his biggest influences so no its not retarded..

[jakeK88]

@maju36able yeah theres a difference in being influenced by a band or an artist than playing because of them. Yeah he probably has a shit load of influences but he doesnt play because of them.

[maju36able]

@jakeK88 yeah but it was hard to figure out what i meant.. and u can play because of a band..

[tom29910]

@mrandy and Satoshikuun

the mars volta rule, and the fall of troy rules just as much.

end of discussion.

[flongoid18]

@mrandy Volta are an absolute joke of a band. Absolute try-hards.

[EpsilonX]

@mrandy this is the album where erak started to tone it down. listen to tom waits or i just got this symphony going.

[mrbiggens]

@mrandy Agreed on the Mars Volta half of that statement. :D

[elijah1110]

what an AWESOME song! does anyone know any other good fall of troy songs?

[brentj18]

my favs are this

shh! if your quiet i will show you a dinosaur

oh the casino

nobodys perfect

battleship graveyard

Nostalgic mannerism -is my fav!!!!!!

ex-creations...well there are a lot Good one's

[Guitar592]

wow this song like totally explains my feelings and like gives me new feelings to feel

[MrsDollyBastard]

i love it

[pablobostero1280]

heavy mars volta influence, no one can deny dat

[FTCT]

W O W !

Man, I love the feeling this song gives me...

[oldcreppy]

a penor in the butt?

[deathrose1213]

@FTCT Yaeh I know what you mean it give such an intense feeling it's amazing

[elijah1110]

@FTCT that, my friend, is called an orgasm

[xXdeathdoll12]

@FTCT Erections?

[fastmikebmx]

besides the ripped off part good song tho!

[fastmikebmx]

yea the guitar playing is "amazing" too bad at 1:45 the riff is stolen directly from cerpin taxt by the mars volta. omar rodriguez woooo!!!!(is the shit)

[XJizelleJurassicX]

@fastmikebmx

sounds nothing similar. a lot of people play like that in songs.

[fastmikebmx]

omg! i'm a guitarist i know cerpin taxt by mars volta note for note. @ 1:44 the riff is exactly note for note the same(as the one in cerpin taxt like 10 sec into the song) just a little faster with a dif bass and drum line. not saying its a bad song i actually like it......

[Calvervtutrp]

Dude, calm down. It happens all the time. Often by accident. I'm a guitarist too.

[ZeroSwitch]

I'm a guitarist and the moon is made of cheese.

[Calvervtutrp]

@ZeroSwitch I know right! :D

[BrokenShoreLineInc]

im a guitarist and I like cheese but not the moon

strange?

i think so....

[Rafathekillers]

@fastmikebmx you suck

[TheMuffinManCan]

@fastmikebmx Im sorry to say but Omar Rodriguez is not the shit, Your mother is. Ever hear her shred? I have. Shes good. Also she has a great ass.

[tomathanielguitar]

@TheMuffinManCan but seriously dude, Omar Rodriguez is the shit, even Thomas Erak would agree with me on that, im not taking sides, but you can easily tell that TFOT is influenced by At The Drive In and The Mars Volta. Eaither way, still a kick ass band

[ilikePIEandPIE123456]

@tomathanielguitar too true

[brentj18]

Best song on album my opion

[Guitar592]

Are you alarmed?! Please stay calm.

lol

[l337man4]

It was originally going to be Part VI of the 5 part Ghostship series, but seeing as how its musical style is different, they dicided to stick it on manipulator instead. Its about what our hero is thinking about after having just been possessed by a demon and killing his wife. The Demon is still inside of him, but he can still think at the same time as you can see by the lyrics. Part VII was going to be a song called Forbodingly Lost, but sadly TFOT scrapped it for whatever reason.

[OhhhSean]

@ForbodinglyLost

No, it's not. Chapter IV: Enter The Black Demon on the Phantom on The Horizon CD is the remastered version of Ghostship Part IV.

[exsymphony]

itsa sexy time I LIKEAA!!!

[randumVids3]

fucking love the bass

[thegrungewave]

@randumVids3 i know, right? Tim is an awesome bass guitarist. that's 1 of the main reasons why i got in2 this band in the 1st place. \m/

[ForebodinglyLost]

For those of you who don't know - This song is Ghostship Part VI

[000colourful000]

This is my favourite song atm. Thomas Erak is the hottest person on this planet.

[luvtokickflipoc]

naybe when they named themselves fall of troy, they were talking about the reason of the battle of troy, because of the king's woman leading to the war, cuz all the singer sings about is women!

[LaxFreak225]

they got their name by flipping to a random page in a history book and putting there finger down on the page with eyes closed and would pick whatever it landed on. it landed on fall of troy. true story.

[luvtokickflipoc]

damn thats crazy who told you? or were did u see it and how come the singer only talks about women?

[LaxFreak225]

i saw it in an interview with them somewhere

[dabears1337]

no they named the band by randomly flipping to a page in a history textbook. look it up. its a pretty boss way to pick a name haha.

[Zombiezreplaceteens]

dude they rape so many of these five-six piece bands in the same genre but whatever

[Dizzaygrawr]

i love this band, has the best guitar playing ever~

[adolfocruz245]

Nice I KNow How To Play The 2 Mins Of The Song with out looking at the tabs

[applefrltter]

i think the bass line is where it's at on this song. the bass line is so fat dry and warm and gives everything so much depth. just listen to it. it's crazy

[91gregor91]

They rock! Oh yeah!

[iLLmaticV3]

Cool song.

[dusian805]

Love these guys.

So underated though =/

[MrChickenLegs27]

!^@#%$ I LOVE THE OUTRO!!!!

[breesvideos]

<321

[Elixirpoo]

is that an organ i hear??????

0:21 to 0:25

probably not just askin...

[NoDoubtFilms]

No actually it is, I'm looking at the Guitar Pro tab and the last tab is labeled as Organ/Noise

[peaceouter101]

The guitar sound in this song is INSANE.

[KingdomBockius]

All FoTs songs have amazing guitar.

[Gillz93fyi]

My favorite fall of troy song

[gaaraenrike]

adoro esta rola =D grazziaz x subirla...eres la mejor

[KingdomBockius]

yo sé. Nunca pude encontrar. Thanks so mucho! : D

[funkeekidd]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[xXSEGARRA23Xx]

i found out bout this band from mlb 2k6 they had f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x. lol this song is righteous

[quill47]

The album art for manipulator reminds of some children's books I used to read, but I can't remember the name of them, can someone help me out?

[cpone121]

the shel silverstein books?

[HAN56HAN]

Is it gay to want Thomas Erak to rape me with his guitar?

[Sindri44]

well it depends are you a girl or a guy :)

[bkid310]

i hope thats not gay cuz if it is

im in the closet and didnt know it lol

[anthonysjb]

doesnt ever1?

[Zombiezreplaceteens]

lol

[maju36]

when he said plz stay calm it sounded kinda like jimmy urine...

[ShadowShreddin]

u guys talk about weird things >_>. JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! Love the screaming XD awesome song

[iiBR4ND0N]

I've got a bad taste in my mouth thanks to you!!! lol

[hotpants4294]

i like to think of these guys as a kind of Jazzy mathcore.

but in the end, it really doesnt matter, they pwn ass anyway they want. phantom on the horizon was a masterpiece, as were all of their other albums. =DD

[jessiebmoon]

ahh good song :D

[soadfan4life1995]

tis tru >_>

[kr3wXskateXsnow]

lmao it says on there myspace experimental/mathcore/screamo soooo im goin with that lmfao

[HAN56HAN]

Shut the F*** up about guitar hero and just enjoy the sex that is Tim Ward screaming.

[Pokemaster08]

The only problem I have with their songs is that a bunch of them so und the alike. I know it's hard to make everyone of your songs unique, but still. They use a lot of the same riffs in multiple songs. Anyway they still rock!

[soadfan4life1995]

thats wat i used to think too....but then i started listening to other music then i saw the difference between songs or something i really dont know how to put it into words

[Pokemaster08]

Yeah I see the differences now. Damn you people and your thumbs down.

[vlogYT]

Name 2 similar riffs?

[Pokemaster08]

I posted that awhile ago when I was still new to TFOT. But after listening to their songs in more depth I have discovered different. :P

[HAN56HAN]

Tom's voice really has improved since The Fall of Troy.

[Jmaster22]

lets all agree that F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.

is like B.Y.O.B.

played the fuck out

when i hear those songs i get mad

it would tight to put some TFoT songs on rock band, i freaking love that game :)

[soadfan4life1995]

my name describes how i feel about System and they sound nothing alike and who the fuck cares about ur fetish Rock Band >:D

[MrChickenLegs27]

crap i have what i think is every song from system... yes i mean their b-sides too

[maju36]

they arent really payed out half the kids in my school still havent heard either one....and i hadnt heard f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x. on gh3 i probably wouldnt have found out about this band

[ion00000]

lol i cant pick between problem, semi-fiction, sledgehammer, a man a plan a canal panama ,ex-creations, and quarter past lol

[MasterZealot09]

This is my second favorite song from this album. My favorite is Quarter Past.

[RawrChickForever]

1:43 <3 :D

[anjeezyyyyy]

ur terrible lyrics. piss off ya wanker
