@MegaKlaxons just to lead you in the right direction, writing is more important than playing other peoples stuff. i hope you get over the evil beginners hump and make music your lifelong passion. i admire thomas even more for how original and rediculously awesome he writes his songs. true art
Literally no one has given Thomas credit for how well he is with his RIGHT hand. Pay attention, he doesnt move his arm one bit.. It's all in the wrist. It's very versitile and he is great to learn these techniques from.. Anyone trying to get this down, try practicing with a mirror and be very conscious about not moving your thumb.. It should click in a month or so where you dont need to think about. Musicians, keep it up. Peace
@xXRandallxRemorseXx really i see it as Yes meets metal. his voice mixed with the rick wakmen style playing. i hear more Yes (sorry if i spelled his name wrong)
@kjhovey i forgot where i heard it from because it was a long time ago, but i can tell you he wanted to move away from doppelganger,i think it was because people only liked that album, and i can say he hates fcpremix xD
@broed731 Hmm, I mean, I know he wanted to move on, but that's because I figured he was just progressing as a musician. I don't recall him ever stating he "hated" it per se. If he hated it, then you'd think he'd never play the doppelganger songs live... which he did a few at every set I saw.(even after ITUE). And if he hated FCP, I'd assume he'd stay away from that, but he played it all the time and enjoyed doing so whenever I saw him.
I love the guys man. I'm sad their not this anymore, nor what they've become with Frank Ene. Thomas' voice is pierceing and full of emotion, Tims' bassline is superb, fat and poppy. His screams are to die for. and Andrew one of the most excellent drummers in the game. I hope his teaching career is as succesfull and his music one.
i've just seen this video on xbox live video market place and it is cooler! it has other scenes and a nice video Quality OMG! wtf happen with Equalvisions!!! put Fall of troy videos with HQ and upload FCPREMIX again!!!
this band always reminded me of a more technical coheed and cambria (note: manipulator was the first stuff I heard by them) mostly cuz of the high voice and his hair in this video.
@beefcake8888 i mean, they're not really similar, they just reminded me of coheed, especially this song/video. his vocals kinda sound like claudio's in this, and his hair is really big and poofy too lol
@geldofpunk32 That is a poor opinion. You can't just say a band wishes to sound like another when they are two different genres and only their voices are close. Both bands are great how they are. They shouldn't change.
@MulattoJones i first heard a song (FCPREMIX) from them around 3rd grade & discovered who they were by 8th grade. I'm in 9th grade now & they are one of my favorite bands :D
This is a let down. The band should have done something more visually stimulating and original for this video. Then the visuals would match the fact that their music is so uniquely awesome. This is just a typical blah video :(
@cowbeef3 i love protest the hero and i just read on wiki he did some vocal with this band on there last album..i see they have vinyl somethin somethin which is still good but i like this album more.
i like the songs on this album, and live all the songs are about equally energenic, but i think that doplleganger (spelling?) is just mixed a lot better.
Im really not sure why "Manipulator" had such harsh feedback from fans. The sound really was not that much different from their "Self-Titled" and "Doppelganger", a little softer on some parts but still had that overall progressive, mathy feel to it. I could see" In the Unlikely Event" criticism being a little bit more negative because that sound really was a departure from standard TFOT
Manipulator was such an influential album for my musical tastes and writing. Doppelganger still gives me a boner but Manipulator is just on another level for me as far as writing goes.
they should have never stopped producing music.... it' gay, they were and still are one of my favorite bands of all time,and will continue to be one of them.
I went to high school with these guys. Great people. :D playing good music. It's not everyday that you get to say you played music with someone in a band. Man did the Kamiak music program rule.
