The Fall of Troy - Single

[AdventureSkates]

Fail on the 1 dislike hahaha

[1ocmer1]

If you're happy honey raise your glass (y)

[nasfastfastgoohno123]

depressed....

[smokeyandcraig]

the reason they took the delay part and the breakdown part out is because terry date is an ass.

[brentj18]

i think in their new album they put in more lyrics so thats prolly why they didnt put the breakdown part in

[iMaggot1337]

i like the breakdown because it prepares me more for the progression more than just abruptly stopping after the solo, which is the reason i liked the breakdown. It just has a better progression

[Etner9327]

Album version is nothing without the delay dance part and poppy breakdown. They don't even play the breakdown live, so yeah.

[exsymphony]

i completely agree with u delay par and breakdown made this song for me. but since dey didn use it does tat mean its up for grab? hahah

[trav1b]

love the song but still least fav song on album... they should of pickd a different song 4 the first single

[trwrhys]

hmm... I like both versions just as much as eachother,

I like the breakdown, but i think the song is short and sweet without it...

just my opinion :D

[ComExperiment]

Yeah me too, I like the breakdown but for the studio version I like it more how it is, Id rather have the breakdown only on live performances which is where you can enjoy it the "most".

[exsymphony]

i love the album but i refuse to listen to the album version of single cuz they took out the little delay part and the epic breakdown incredibly gay

[pyro6904]

I miss the breakdown too, but the album version really doesn't need it I think.

They really outdid themselves with In the Unlikely Event.

[exsymphony]

yea i stil love the album and i think peopel r being incredible fags about it. its better than anythin u hear on the radio so yea. tfot forever

[lllostmotelll]

@pyro6904 If by outdid, you mean totally botched the whole album, then yes, I agree with you 100%.

[smokeyandcraig]

if you listen to the other version of single on youtube you can hear the bass alot better and you can appreciate it much more as well. in this recording you can barely hear the bass so i can understand why someone would not think its important.

[thelegendofjerry]

If you check out the Amazon page for In The Unlikely Event you can listen to 30 second clips of the songs. Im so pumped =]

[Schlepp420]

actually, i didnt like panic attack but this is good

[ArizzleProductions]

I'm going to see them today at Toads Place. I get to meet them to! :] i'm so fucking excited..

[krispykreme]

the setlist for this show looks amazing. I can't wait to hear mastodon :)

[HeavyasHeaven]

1:26 till like 1:40 is badass

[roflwafflesz]

so far I think this is the best song on the cd :D

[pyro6904]

Panic Attack is pretty off the chain.

[roflwafflesz]

I don't like panic attack at all to be honest

[snakeater]

@roflwafflesz agreed. panic attack is garbage,

[bigace511]

what!? YOUR GARBAGE.

[snakeater]

@bigace511 seriously if i could delete one song from the fall of troy's history. PANIC ATTACK. mainstream garbage.

[bigace511]

@snakeater dude what do you expect. your not the one who writes the music. In general its a good song.

[bigace511]

@pyro6904 ...walk of fame all day man.

[FanATiiKzZzZ]

omg i cant fuckin wait!

[NerosR3solution]

i love the breakdown and that perfect transition in and back out, thom is freakin epic and a musical genius XD

[iMaggot1337]

you know tom isnt the only person in the band. He's pretty good, but Andrew and FRANK really complete the band. This wouldn't have worked if other people were in the band

[NerosR3solution]

yeah i know, but thom makes the songs, PLUS hes still a drummer, and his guitar playing is phenomenal so bass is no big deal to him. he could be a band all himself, but yeah, they're awesome.

[GODhimself37]

the bass is alot different than guitar. any bass player will jump you if you say they are the same

[NerosR3solution]

i never said they were the same, its just easier on the fingers to tranfer to a bass. from a 6 stringed guitar to a (most likely) 4 string bass will be easy, i've done it so i can say so

[GODhimself37]

but playing it fast and in rhythm is hard as shit when you are playing something difficult

[NerosR3solution]

yeah i guess, but basslines are/can be really easy if you got something in mind. guitar is totally different from bass on those lines

[bayyPiNAY]

BASS IS A FUCKING BIG DEAL

[domdabombabc]

Bass is the most important instrument but most people think it's useless because you can't even hear it through ipod headphones, but live you can physically feel the bass and it sets the tone for the song.

[bayyPiNAY]

Most people can't hear it because their ears aren't trained for listening to different instruments. But sometimes it really just is inaudible T.T

[roflwafflesz]

anyone know where to get tickets? I was on their website and didn't find anything

[nikeinajar]

what did you use to record this? (sorry if this has been answered before, but whenever I go to shows I can't get anything to record with how loud everything is)

[pyro6904]

An Olympus Stylus 1000.

It would have looked better but I tired to compress it and change the file type which kinda made it look a little grainy, plus the fucked audio.

[Mcruled]

standard song structure? multiple repeating riffss? what is this abomination!?!?!?!?!?! hahahaha nah i dig this song

[GODhimself37]

did you listen to the whole thing? lol polyrythym is EVERYWHERE

[himynameisandyyy]

so, i watched this video. then after it was over. when he blew a kiss to the crowd. i realized i was at this show. and literally right behind the guy who filmed this.

YES!!!

[Hippyslayer101]

They play near my city, 4 days before the record comes out

The greatest Friday of my life followed by the greatest Tuesday

[bigace511]

Whats a good store to get the album at?

[Hippyslayer101]

I don't know, I got the first two albums at Virgin records, Manipulator at Best Buy, and got POTH vinyl at hot topic

So, I'd go with Virgin Records, or if there is an independant records near you try there

[juauqxz]

the fall of troy is fucking awesome

[Fenderboy7]

i feel like this is going to be the best post hardcore record since 2006

[dusian805]

once again another vid that proves the fall of troy has the only good breakdowns.

[iMaggot1337]

you i love you so much for putting this video up... lol

In The Unlikely Event! 10.06.09!!!!!!!!

[dusian805]

Fuck Yeah!

:]

[iMaggot1337]

i have a feeling that this might be one of my favorite songs on the album... and if they can construct songs without as much singing kinda like Quarter Past, then this is definitely gonna be the fucking best CD ever... hopefully they get big after this CD so i can prove to everyone how fucking amazing they are...

[snakeater]

OCT 6th!!!!!!!

[nikeinajar]

that is one sick break down, I love how tfot is one of the few bands that do break downs and make each one unique. most bands just throw in a slow chugging section in, but tfot with change it up and make it a weird time sig, or use really fucking cool syncopation between the guitar/bass and drums.

love this band cant wait for the next record.

<3

[CantChooseAName]

Couldnt have said it better myself, they define what a breakdown should be.

[12345Carlos]

this songs really good.

[snakeater]

sick breakdown at 1:53

[dannyjumanji]

riff at 1:39 is so original.

he doesn't just shred, he makes baby making music

[ImNotRightlyMade]

if any one can get a good versoin of this song or a like recorded one please send it to me

[pyro6904]

The album isn't out yet, how could you get the recorded version of it?

Don't be thick.

[ImNotRightlyMade]

ummm not trying to be smart like u but ummm ahvent u seen the videos where there recording new songs and ive seen them or heard wat ever recording this song in a video sooooooo plus they are already performing new songs in good qaulity for hurly studios

[Etner9327]

They played one new untitled song in the Hurley sessions. That's the only new song recorded there, because it was simply a session, it's not where the band is recording the album.

The album was recorded at Studio Litho in Seattle with Terry Date as the producer. Last we heard the record was in the mixing stage. They've only demo'd three new songs so far with decent quality: Straight Jacket Keelhauled, the Vomiting Winter, and the Untitled Hurley song.

There's been no video for this song yet

[thuglifekid212]

dude there so fucking beast

[bigace511]

lol, i listen to this everyday now. and i think this is gunna be the most popular song on the album.. =o

[joeytiago]

its the 4th album, not the third

[kodieeee]

Yea.. whats up now haters?

:)

[NerosR3solution]

lol, the 3rd album is supposedly set for a fall release date so yeah, proly after the euro tour

[LacesOutRenato]

Fourth album.

[dannyjumanji]

my favorite band..why? because they play what they like. obviously they don't conform to any genre or scene. I'm looking forward to the new cd and seeing them a 3rd time!!

[starsalt]

they are so freaking creative. also its really impressive that they play this kind of music and still manage to remain a 3 piece band.

i mean who the hell sings and shreds at the same time like that :D

[snakeater]

ditto on all of that :)

[Hippyslayer101]

DAMN

That sounds amazing

Why can't the record come out now

[EvanIRL]

I listen to this at least once a day.

[starsalt]

i have a mp3 file for this video lol

[bigace511]

i need it! tell me where you got it!!!

[ImNotRightlyMade]

can i have it please??

[1027379]

this song is the shit

[bigace511]

i looove the guitar riff. cant wait for the fucking album!

[hyphyindigochild]

I love how Frank and Thomas both move in unison for the end. Like they both lift their legs (coincidentally like female dogs) to finish off the song. Good stuff.

[HeadFirstForxHalos]

This soung is just amazing. I am super excited to hear their upcoming album.

Ah this song is so refreashing in some way! Im fucking diggin that breakdown as well!

[starsalt]

i wonder what guitar tom used to record the new album

[theanimal6592]

It dependent upon the song. Back during the recordings of the self-titled and Doppelganger, he only used the DC because his inventory was smaller. But now he'll use different songs depending upon the style and the sound he's looking for. Most bands will record through with 3 or 4 different guitar before settling on one so I'm sure it'll be something similar.

[theanimal6592]

By the way, the vocal riff at :13-:14 sounds soooooo good.

[thespoon]

i fucking LOVE all the people shredding the air guitar in the middle of the song. Seriously, i probably would have done the same things hahaha

[PokemanzFromSpace]

It doesn't get any better than this. I have a feeling that this new album will be their best yet.

[iF0NDLE]

we wont know till fall! jesus that is too long

[dainjh]

i fucking loved that breakdown

fall of troy makes the only breakdowns that dont sound like shit

:)

[starsalt]

dude look at the breakdown for their new song battleship graveyard. omg soo good :D

[dainjh]

ohh my god i know dude ! =D

soo soo stoked for the new album!!!

[DesertJones]

yeah Fall of Troy breakdowns are the only ones that I like fer sure

[iF0NDLE]

all the other ones sound the same to me. TFOT is the only exception

[bigace511]

@dainjh hell yeah right!!!!!!!!

[wasian666]

this video was taken at such a cool angle too, we get a closeup of thomas and we get the lights...yay!!! ^_^

[calzar1001]

This new album is amazing so far not what i excepted from watching the inerviews when they where talking about it.

[SundayKilgannon]

i think of this song, and battleship graveyard and just O________________O at this album.

[easternalamancehigh]

you know whats great about the fall of troy and probably the reason why they are still around?!

they dont write songs that sound like each and every other one. every song is different.

all these bands these days sound the same with everyyyyy song. its really annoying.

but luckily we have tfot and they dont suck. so

yay.

[IknowJo3]

thats why this bands amazing!

you sir are a true fan!

[wasian666]

i second

[Etner9327]

Really, really looking forward to this song. That little breakdown is sweet

[thelegendofjerry]

I hear you on that.

[rickyricardorojas]

hell yeah!

[kildude1190]

the sound quality is horrible, but the songs pretty intense

[IknowJo3]

well this beats the other videos out there...

and i agree this song intense.

[EvanIRL]

0:08

pleasing to my ears

[Syncpowah]

Jeez I cannot wait for the new album.

[spikedbasser5]

the lighting in this video i think really fits the song...bouncy yellow, and flashing for odd time signature, the darker colours for the slower, heavier parts nd the pure white on thomas towards the end really points u to his frontmanship

[pyro6904]

I do what I can.

[jlordor]

at 1.55 how does he get that kinda cky guitar sound

[NotoriousFR]

its a sub octave pedal

[rickyricardorojas]

digitech whammy baby

[thefalloftroy54]

i agree man it sounds just like cky's guitar

[ithinkimdifferent]

yeah I was thinking that but thought people would bash me for it. haha

[dotytanner]

knock knock knock why the fuck are the doors locked

[cannabisisgood420]

sweet. i was there.

they played very well.

[DPSinXX]

This song makes me cum buckets. :D

[TheFallOfJordan]

i lvoe this song and the fall of troy!!!!!!!!!!1

[hazzxc]

I think this is great that the fall of troy has broadened their horizons to the things they create. listening to them when they first came out compared to now shows their greatness expanding. they were already a great musical band with great qualities even in their worse songs. now the quality of there music is cleaner and have the skill to do whatever they want with it...its great.

[Blueseaflower]

WOAH EVERYONE NOW WAIT! IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN WOULDNT YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND AND DO MANY THINGS? NOT BE LIMITED TO ONE IDEA? WHEN THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS? IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF CREATING ART. DO NOT PASS UP THAT OPPURTUNITY OR PRIVELEGE. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE FALL OF TROY PLAYS DIFFERENT SOUNDING MUSIC? BECAUSE THEY FUCKING CAN!

Who wants to hold back the power you dont even know is inside of you?

[HaleysNewPictures]

They were Amazing live :D!

[raincloudeyeballs]

1.25 ah i love the fall of troy

[tomfowler1822]

this song has a feminine quality to it.

[pyro6904]

Thomas has a feminine quality to his singing voice, so maybe that's why.

[Envyme2x]

if you listen near the end you can hear frank singing back up :D thomas is a fucking musical genious

[Drake975]

Ok well..if the rest of the new album is gonna be like this....shit. I'm seriously not liking this :\ I miss the screams, the effin hardcore breakdowns...

[Etner9327]

Then go listen to some shit screamo bands. There's far more than screams and "hardcore" breakdowns to the Fall of Troy, even though those things are still in plenty of the new songs. There's a reason they're an experimental/progressive band. They're gonna keep trying new shit out, and so far they've succeed with the few song we've heard.

[starsalt]

dude well said!

[tayzlord]

ta i like the screaming too. man.. hey u never know battleship is pretty sexy

[Blackman59391]

I dont like some of the screaming, but I love straight jacket keelhauled

[raincloudeyeballs]

wowow i cant wait for the new album!

[Maharoba]

what are the lyrics to this?

[okamasphere]

yeah man, I picked up the rockerverb 50 as well for a x- mas gift for myself.  Never happier

[Kybocore]

im working on tabing it right now. its an interesting song. the way i play it sounds correct, but thomas always likes to put the little things in there that get me off track :(

[TCAWhat]

I really realllllly hate Orange amps.

[snOwBL1nD]

You're not human.

[TCAWhat]

I don't know man, I played one a few times, and it was nice, but not $2,000 nice. And I just don't like Thomas Erak's live tone.

[snOwBL1nD]

I was only kidding.

Orange amps have always been appealing to me.

As a matter of fact, I got a 3Watt one for Christmas!

I think Thomas uses Marshall to record, but don't quote me on that.

[TCAWhat]

The tiny terror?

I know he used some Oranges on Doppelganger from talking to him once.

I think they're cool amps for recording, but I just hate dealing with them live.

[ferretjka]

He used a Marshall for the Ghostships and I believe their first EP as well. Pretty sure he used either the Orange or the Buddha for recording later on.

[ferretjka]

*LP, not EP.

[noahVITP]

they played this when i saw them on the 5th, someone needs to tab this out! i need to cover it hah

[aldude91]

If your capable of covering it, you should be able to tab it out yourself.

[DTsuperhero]

epic. can't wait for the album!

[aldude91]

I hate it when people use epic out of context. This isn't epic.

[coolskaterlikeice]

is this a new song?

[ithinkimdifferent]

I want this song to be the single. and to still be called single. That'd be cool.

[uistehsuck]

at the show i went to thomas said "this song is called single, its probably going to be our first single, and its about...being single."

[pyro6904]

Yeah, Andrew confirmed the song is literally called 'Single'.

How about that.

[aldude91]

Why does every song Thomas writes have to be about women in some sort of way...

[rickyricardorojas]

whats wrong with that

[pyro6904]

Because he's like 23 years old.

[smokeyandcraig]

because the most important thing in the world for a man is his woman. and vice versa.

[pinkfluffyanimals]

their acutally mostly about drugs lol

[56tony]

Past experience I would have to say, or maybe its just how he thinks of women in general. I cant say I dis-agree, the lyrics for "what sound does a mastadon make?" are amazing; I would have to say its about a tease and what guy has'nt dealt with a tease. Also hes a guy, a young one so I dont really see the problem.

[pinkfluffyanimals]

me either, i dont think it really matters anyway. take the song how you want. :)

[Justerbuster89]

i agree, that songs freakin awesome.

[hazzxc]

yea that songs legit. he was problably going through a sexual time during the first album X__X

[IamHistory78]

Dude, I agree, has anyone listened or read the lyrics to their first cd???!?!? It screams sex lol

[AHHHXAVI]

yeah you think that most of their songs are about women and love but the majority of them are actually about oxycotin. fo real

[aldude91]

You fucking jackass, there's only one song that relates to oxycontin. Andrew confirmed that the lyrics are just about drugs in general. Manipulator was written during a time thomas lost 2 of his friends to drug overdoses.

[Justerbuster89]

O.O I didn't know that.

[Archcecil]

woow which song dude?

[ICUP5959]

Thanks for the beautiful vid pyro, the one I took had crappy audio.

[TheseYeahThese]

wow. this one with the other song they performed they played at the glass house will make the next record great.

[armedwithwings]

i was theree! this was SO GOOD :)

[Etner9327]

2:23-3:00

<3

[ipschedipsche]

This is really a single!

This song could be the next FCPREMIX!

So awesome...so catchy...

I have to get the tabs...must cover...

[Bapho23]

IM SO PISSED THIS MUST HAVE BEEN AN EVENTFUL TOUR THEY ALSO HAD # 12 WITH THEM WHO I HAVENT EVE SEEN ALONG WITH TFOT MY FAV BAND EVER!! AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN EITHER BAND!! damn im so pissed.
