The Fall of Troy - 01 - Cut Down All The Trees And Name The Streets After Them

[AlmostGotSome]

Not really feelin the screamo, but the licks are heavy as shit!

[MetalisAok]

im in a band, and i will not quit til i am up to par if not better then thomas erak, i will not give up, and i will bring back a band that brought us happiness, and i will bring back the creativity of a band that is the fall of troy.............

[MrDeaders]

@MetalisAok DOn't tellme about it on youtube, go out and do it. And if you make it to Manchester England maybe I'll come see your show.

[MetalisAok]

@MrDeaders its a deal!

[MetalisAok]

thomas erak is my idol, and even through trends such as dubstep, and rap" which of some i enjoy" have come to me, ive always loved the fall of troy since i was 10, and im 16 now.ive been playing guitar for 6 and a half years, ive practiced til my fingers have bled, and i play all styles listen to all types of music, but all rock and all metal have caught my eye, especially animals as leaders, tera melos, born of osiris, and protest the hero, and herecomes the kraken.

[evilthanos23]

That bass is epic

[primozuado]

@evilthanos23 indeed, the bass build up in this song is epicly awesome

[Rocker4life181]

i like the part at 1:30

[Kingopersia]

Fall Of Troy means "white people only"

[improfessoradam]

@Kingopersia bro franks hella good better than tim was frank sings and hes way better

[wtf235100]

Wow for the Longest time i thought this album came before Doppelganger, it kinda sounds like it to

[RegieSatanas666]

progcore.

[spookedcab]

been listening to tfot for like 5 years <3

[Thatfatguyfrommars]

@spookedcab 4 years 8(

[mimekiller17]

Dear santa...

1 Fall of troy to get back together

2 a new bike

3 a new game

4 a new puppy etc..

[peppercakeman]

@mimekiller17

that made me crack the fuck up haha

[Brandon69311666]

favorite song ever

[2222melissa]

I've noticed the Fall of Troy is an aquired taste. And the people who don't like them, well they simply have no taste. :P

[TheFallofTomorrow]

@2222melissa Exactly.

[deth349]

listened to the entire thing in 1911

[HiddenCare]

If you like one of The Fall of Troys songs I'm pretty sure you should like every other one like i do :D bought every album o.o and love them. <3

[Adderalways]

I hate people who claim to like the music but hate his voice.. Oh I'm sorry. Hes not CONSTANTLY screaming and can actually reach pitches most of your little core-fags couldn't even begin to attempt  to comprehend. Enjoy being close minded for them rest of your teen years... -sigh-

[Silverone43]

@Adderalways i love Tom's voice..i think it creates a unique contrast between the music and the vocals as separate entities and all those core-fags think bands like BMTH, TDWP, We Came as Romans or any of those similar bands(because trust me its hard to find many differences between them lol) have amazing vocals..pfft yeah okay TOO MANY of those bands use auto-tune its PATHETIC. The Fall of Troy is AMAZING live and sounds just like the album whereas those other bands cant even come close..sad...

[MYGODKILLSYOURS]

@Silverone43 wow you summed up exactly what i was thinking. i listend to We Came As Romans and all those bands and couldn't fathom why the HELL they were using auto tune, like wtf is this T-Pain or some shit? This and At the Drive-In are my favorite Post Hardcore. have you heard of Defeater? check that out :D

[Silverone43]

@MYGODKILLSYOURS yeah my brother listens to all those scene bands and honestly bands like We Came as Romans and Attack Attack are probably the biggest offenders...I'm mainly a metalhead but i dip into other genres mainly because of bands like The Fall of Troy but i hold NO respect for bands that use nothing but studio effects and auto-tune. Defeater sounds familiar ill have to check them out..If you like Progressive Metal check out Protest the Hero. AMAZING band. composition is unmatched

[musterdsandwich]

@Silverone43 i concur, protest the heros ''fortress'' album is a gem among metal albums

[StaulkHolm]

@Silverone43

yeah, shitty bands make anyone that sounds remotely similar to the untrained ear the same genre. it pisses me off when i see dumbasses calling the fall fo troy screamo and a scene band, fuck that shit, its awesome music. same with protest the hero, first album i felt the vocals were a little weak but from then on balls to the wall prog-metal.

[9juheje8a]

@StaulkHolm It's awesome music! hahaha too right it is, its pretty much made its own category..

[StaulkHolm]

@9juheje8a

if you dont know the genre just call it "cool shit i listen to." thats what i do and it seems to work out well for me. haha

[ArisTheEvil]

@StaulkHolm Between my friends this genre is called "some hipster shit"

[apris666]

@StaulkHolm the music is definitely too complicated and excuisite to be a fucking dumb scene band - though the artwork is def' scene. and looks at thomas's tats 8D

[biosbftw007]

@StaulkHolm BTW, the genre is called "Mathcore".

[improfessoradam]

@biosbftw007 its called prog metal or prog rock mathcore is like the mars volta

[Hellion6325]

@improfessoradam Mathcore I think is when songs have complicated or have weird time signatures, and I'm pretty sure Fall of Troy's songs have weird time signatures..

[improfessoradam]

@Hellion6325 no not really i play guitar and its more progressive than math. progressive meaning it changes key a lot witch is were its just like one sound kinda going and then antoher. phantom on the horizon is VERY progy.

[Hellion6325]

@improfessoradam Time signature is like.. well. I don't know how to explain this lol. More to do with sheet music. Most common ones are 4/4, 3/4, 2/4(I think) but The Fall of Troy has a lot of 7/4, so..

[improfessoradam]

@Hellion6325 lol i know what time signatures are and the most common are 4/4 and 3/4 but math core has a different sound not just time signature. time signatures have nothing to do with sound they just tell you how to play the sound.

[Hellion6325]

@improfessoradam yes but they DO have some weird time signatures in their songs. that's what I'm trying to say D:

[somuch4freedom]

@Adderalways PERFECT comment

[Ausdoerrt]

Cool riffs, hoooorrrible vocals.

[TheFernandotorres17]

@Ausdoerrt WOW. Dude GTFO!!

[CzarYourselfBrett]

on second thought if i wear a suit at all it's for my hollywood premiere, i'm Dan Dringle

[DustiestDog]

who the hell did that 1 dislike?

[MrChocolatepickles]

@DustiestDog a fuckin moron thats who!

[TheRevolutionstarter]

@DustiestDog

it must have been an accident

[thegrungewave]

i luv the artwork 4 this album. Tim, their bassist designed it. there's this 1 shirt that they made that has a picture of those things on the cover (they're called diamond eaters). but they were yellow & they had a bunch of diamonds surrounding them & a light blue background. it's awesome. i really wanna get it. \m/

[RATMfan27]

First song i ever heard by these dudes,I instantly liked them

[tazabilly]

this shit is the best

[futureboss5555]

thank god some ppl know the word surreal exist....alot of people mistake surreal for so real.....it's jus sad how limited ppls vocabulary are these days(i type this way cuz it's convenient. I'm not a complete idiot)

[jonahrulez]

You'll be overboard....Goodbye.....

[GreenMonkeyFTW]

The Louder, the better. Agreed!

[Cuervo4992]

@GreenMonkeyFTW no, the clearer the better. cause if all i hear is static i'm not listenin to it. i'd like to hear somethin before i go deaf.

[schalleepimp101]

i think tom erak could be the youngest inductee into the songwriter's hall of fame.

[iheartyou35]

Damn, all their songs are good

[schalleepimp101]

i think theyll be back. :)

[mimekiller17]

@schalleepimp101 i would go fucking nuts if that happened. that wouldbe AWESOOOOOMME

[saboteur31]

@schalleepimp101 They better I gotta see this song live.

[8JobForAMexican8]

When this came out on the first day it was released. I started to earn money to go see Erak play shows. Never hated the band ever since. I want to make a band JUST like them or similar to them. And make sure its perfect to honestly make sure that TFOF carries its music down more generations of music.

[jesterxxslipknot]

Man love the sound these guys have, somehow it reminds a bit of Tool sometimes...

[reignofsnow11]

TFOT FOREVER <3333333

[Javin93]

naw, they broke up

[trav1567]

man yall fight too much why dont we all just enjoy the music we listen to and get high btw TFOT is fun to get high to you should all try it!

[attheyid]

nigga ido this every fucking day

[reignofsnow11]

hey fuck yea self dick head ight one love homes

[greensoda666]

learn to speak english dumb bitch

[Musicdudeyoutub]

@greensoda666 You suck dick.

[EpsilonX]

i no longer feel weird for associating TFOT with C&C. maybe it's just their hair though. (tom's hair is almost as big as claudio's in the video for this song haha)

[benjamermandav]

anyone who hates coheed or FOT should fucking die. yes that means you @TalkSic666. Fuckin faggot nigger retard.

[yungboy517]

Ok Coheed is fucking dope as hell and Fall of Troy is dope too. theyre both are masters of prog rock and also have very different and unique styles so shut the fuck up and enjoy the music. Both bands are in the top 20 bands of the past decade. Claudio is a guitar god and so is Thomas, if you think Coheed sucks then you probly like miley cirus and if you think FOT sucks you probly like justin bieber and you can go fuck yourself in the ass with a roll of dirty quarters.

[Grifgarz]

@yungboy517

yep, both Coheed and TFOT own.

[superninjafreaks]

This is the first time I've ever listened to this band, and they're pretty damn good! :D

[ArcadianWarrior]

Trust me they have much better songs then this.

[reLAXwthme]

how does this sound anything like the crowing?

[peppercakeman]

this bands fucking awesome they're the softest thing i listen to yet my favourite thing to listen to

[PeckerwoodPossy]

best song on the album

[Riveascor]

the triplets are hard to get down on this song

1 e &  a

2 e la & a

3 e & a la

Especially at full speed

This is like a good version of that shitty song "the crowing" by coheed

[666bloodyxhell666]

@Riveascor This sounds nothing like the crowing. And even if it does, it would be fall of troy copying CoCa. This is utter shit compared to coheed. sure, its good for people who are in to breakdowns and popping zits. but thats it.

[TalkSic666]

coheed and cambria blows

[666bloodyxhell666]

@TalkSic666 well your just a fag.

[666bloodyxhell666]

@Riveascor lol, actually, ive been listening to it, and i kinda like it lol. But im still a devout coheed fan, and i still hate you for calling the crowing shitty. And by the way, if you cant play the triplets in this song, you are a shit guitarist. i tried just five minutes ago and i can play them with my eyes closed.

[Grifgarz]

Coheed owns

[666bloodyxhell666]

@Grifgarz Thank you, man!!!

[ltgreatsocks]

Hey Riveascor. Go kill the fuck out of yourself now. This song doesn't sound anything like the crowing. At all. You seriously stand out on YOUTUBE of all places as being especially fucking stupid. I honestly hope you're an aspie, man-child, neckbeard. If you're a "normal" human being then I think I'm going to have to kill myself.

[Utheused4]

Coheed's songs follow a story so the tone of the music and the chords of the guitars have to reflect on what's happening. So both songs cannot have the same meaning. You sir, lose.

[whitecastleawesome]

@Riveascor for one they are sixteenth notes and not triplets and for two i love both coheed and cambria and fall of troy but i prefer fall of troy because erak is a fuckin beast.

[TheNuKeKid]

mathcore/hardcore/fuckinepictc­ore

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

I will never understand how Thomas sings and screams, plays those INSANE riffs, keeps such odd time, flips his hair around, and dances AND dares to say he isnt a guitarist! He claims his skills are just a by-product of his drumming. Cmon

Thomas, you're like a GOD on guitar! This band is incredibly inspiring to a guitarist like myself, and i find their tone and style to be absolutely unique, and deliciously frightening

[OutlawJoseyWales44]

holy shit...well put bro...couldn't have said it better myself! =P

[GBot50]

you have just unveiled what i could note put into words my whole life. i love you

[l337man4]

@jacobtheguitarfreak once a drummer, always a drummer.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

@l337man4 God, I bet Thomas could play drums and guitar at the same time or some shit

[l337man4]

@jacobtheguitarfreak while singing and playing bass with his feet.

[MrClavicle1234]

Agreed with Grifgarz

[magmaorc]

Experimental / Progressive / Punk this is the real genre lol , just now i see TFOT in myspace ;P

[EuReKaDeAdScOpE]

Celtic bootleg rap

[iMaggot1337]

i would classify it as

"The Fall of Troy" genre

[caughtnthesnares1]

i would describe it as the THE DOPEST SHIT EVER!!

[Grifgarz]

i would describe it as THE BEEZ-NEEZ!!

[R4D1CL3]

Prog. Rock

[frindle8]

What would YOU describe The Fall of Troy as? (Genre wise)

[HaroldFeldberg]

Progressive Hardcore

[phreshsk821]

alternative rock

[AwwMaiGawd]

@frindle8 alternative punk :)

[Hoppereater]

mathcore/experimental rock

[GrandmaKarma]

Progressive Experimental Alternative Mathcore

[unfreez]

Mathcore.. or Progressive Experimental Something

[SimondoYEAH]

I love revisiting Fall of Troy after not listening to them for a while, it just reminds me how inadequate some music is in comparison to this.

[HaroldFeldberg]

Fucken aye bro, I have all of the albums, but I stopped listening to them for like 8 months (mutherfucker mistake no. 1)

Then I came back and listened to Shhh!!! and Ex-Creations and I was like "Never again"

[blustree]

@SimondoYEAH DUDE for sure, this is like new baroque cause not enough people can appreciate the fall of troy!

[naru725]

@SimondoYEAH that is straight up true, cant say it better myself :)

[IGotTheTouch]

@SimondoYEAH absolutely true

[albert5pujols]

fuck that ending is sick

[tensuzanpakto]

fall of troy has the no. 1 riffs and transitions.

BUT YES THE BREAKDOWN IN THIS IS SO DESTRUCTIVE

[annogu94]

truth...plus the lead singer is actually good (while friggin playin the guitar man!) :)

[NateHarris177]

@annogu94 He sings with great vocals, plays amazing riffs and does a pretty crazy dance all aty the same time. Lol sick as fudge XD

[annogu94]

@NateHarris177 tell me bout it! I was watching them play Shh! live and practically fainted. He is very talented. Plus he can do any type of music, screamo, grunge, metal, you name it he can play it. Deff the best band ever (along with the best album)

[xxbleach52xx]

This song was named after Tom and Tim saw a bumper sticker that was on a hippies mini van saying "Cut Down All The Tree's And Name The Street's After Them"watch me get thumbs up cause Im stating a indeed Fact

[LBATband]

how do you know that?

[xxbleach52xx]

Interview,Tom said it himself.....They also wanna tour with paramore due to the fact Tom and Tim both think the lead singer is fuckin hott....as also said in the interview XD

[Razor0rDie]

link?

[xxbleach52xx]

watch?v=TQhnlXaZiEs

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

Why would it be on a hippy's mini van? Hippies love trees and nature. Technically there is a hole in your fact, but whatever, TFoT rules.

[2Dbloodline]

because you don't understand the concept behind that sticker.

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

Jeez people need to stop pms-ing about it. I was just pointing out the situational injustice. Hippy + Anti-Tree sticker = Irony. I watched the interview, I know that's what he said. I just found it funny.

[AmourSynthetique]

@xxbleach52xx What's an 'indeed fact'?

[JustinCaparas]

@xxbleach52xx an, sorry it annoyed me

[SickHypnotize]

this song gives me a kind of protest the hero sort of vibe, not sure why. love it

[xxConfrontationxx3]

i fucking love the fall of troy!!!!!

All of their songs are amazing and they ALL sound different from eachother.

Love the guitar solos, too.

Amazing.

[madrush999]

[pocketpackgeo11]

[bigace511]

dark trail is alright.

[HaroldFeldberg]

so is Seatlantis

[Pokemaster08]

TFOT is so awesome. I love this song.

[tasara1989]

same here...

[DuKtape]

tfot is the only band which doesn't get youtube comments like

this is mathcore, no its post hardcore, no its thrash metal

[MisterGamer43]

That's because nobody cares what genre they are.

They're just amazing.

[jharrisonmusic]

pretty much man

[pokemonmegaultrafanr]

OMG i didnt notice that

THATS TRUE!

:D

[HaroldFeldberg]

Go to Ex-Creations they're all over it

[XxSolarEclpisexX]

this song gets me pumped ! :)

[MyNameIsElly123]

brilliant song.

[KATxGONExWILD]

thissssss is my favorite song by themmm

[fatlord2000]

Seen 'em twice in concert. and They are AMAZING!!! ^_^

[werewulfofthriller]

my band is shit compared to fall of troy

[jetershomie]

YOur not the only one dude, don't worry, so does mine lol

[2Dbloodline]

Mine has the same style, and I can sound kinda like the singer =3

[pidrgu]

every band sucks compared to the fall of troy XD

[kinberlypsyche]

hahaha thats seriously how i feel

[Grant117]

FORNICATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[XxPrettyxinxpainxX]

FORNICATE~~ =P

[xHXCxUSERNAMEx]

I love that palm muted riff that starts at 2:09.

[jade2220]

j'adore !!!

j'ai connu grace a rock one

[Schlepp420]

FORNICATE!!!

[Garuff]

considering thomas literally writes everything, i sincerly doubt that.

[leftyguitarjoe]

This is some of the most technical guitar I've ever heard, and I'm a death metal fan!!! I have this album, and I love it.

[jpnkid16]

Bassist of the band is amazing.

[xxkixxllxxerxx]

which one?

[Luih1]

tim ward, obvious, he made all those nice basslines :P

[cannabisisgood420]

frank is mad good to, and his scream is better, and waaay better live

[ForzaSHGH]

noo. ive seen them live and i think tim is still better than frank by a huge gap but thomas owns them all

[nick038]

thomas writes the bass

[cannabisisgood420]

i dont think so dude. im pretty sure both bassists write the bass parts

[metallicacdc]

Cannabis, you're completely wrong. Thomas writes everything for the band. Not to mention that Thomas is a godly bass player besides being a godly guitarist sooo it'd be pretty obvious that he writes is.

tl;dr: Thomas writes the bass lines.
