the fall of troy - tom waits

[Hellion6325]

THIS VIDEO IS OOLDDDDDDD

[ermac21456]

Who is the bassist @ :45?

[Thatfatguyfrommars]

@ermac21456 Tim had long hair at one point haha

[deathwish959]

i want to learn to play this song so fucking bad

[huffenbagel]

32 people didnt shut up or get down and blew their cover

[maju36able]

wait a sec is ay :26 is that an ugly organ t-shirt?

[primozuado]

this song deserves so much head banging, that dosent matter what the crowd do, they still look dead

[kjhovey]

Throughout all of the insane music I have heard Thomas make, I still think this has some of the sickest guitar play in it. Also, 1:23 gives me goose bumps no matter how many times I listen to it. Just a sick transition.

[TheGingerKid1771]

where can i get this version of the song!??!

[alex4119]

@TheGingerKid1771

this is the demo version

there's a torrent with it on da piratebey

[babybrutal123]

wtf... thomas throws that esp around 2:55, but where the hell does it go?

[evant1017]

@babybrutal123 right next to the microphone about 2 seconds later

[lagunaskater]

LOL the first row in the crowd at :21

[dafallotroy]

this shit gives me the chills. wooo

[deathwish959]

@yoznfroogurt why'd you get spammed? haha that band is great!! any fot fan would love them

[yoznfroogurt]

@yoznfroogurt Not sure. haha

[Mcruled]

this is reminiscent of some of the old at the drive in videos

[benjamermandav]

0:45.... SLOW MOTION WIN!

[tom29910]

@benjamermandav

then his badass-ary dies at around 2:38, haha.

i miss these guys so much.

[UNDERCOVERBLACKheart]

my favorite video on youtube

[UNDERCOVERBLACKheart]

@ 1:40 if i was the sercurity guard i would have drop kicked or maybe even stone cold "stuned" that kid in the forehead for almost steping on one of thomas' pedals

[yoznfroogurt]

Lol. And that piano shirt he's wearing is the one he wore Live at the paradox; thirty years war.

[blink182skaterforlif]

@yoznfroogurt holy fuck, from that picture! having that shirt would give me boners.

[yoznfroogurt]

does anyone know why the fall of troy never played it live?

[sincerelydave]

omg did you see the shoes he was wearing?

[UNDERCOVERBLACKheart]

@sincerelydave what chuck taylors???

[Cameron227700]

At least I got to see them March 20th.

[Lemonncloud]

This was the golden age of TFOT. 2004-2005

[Calvervtutrp]

Tim shouldn't have cut his hair...

[shantie66]

o_O wtf they all died? lol wut happened?

[LazyNoJutsu]

They broke up, unfortunately.

[benjamermandav]

@shantie66 they reached the limit of badassness. everyone was like "NoOOo fall of troy you've gotta be less badass!!!!" and they were like "NO" and kept gettin more badass. then one day they just went on stage and all exploded. R.I.P. TFOT

[kmsilva100]

sexiest video alive indeed

im gonna miss tfot :(

[EmoKingSam]

R.I.P. The Fall of Troy.

Thomas J. Erak

Frank Ene

Andrew Forsman

and (Tim) the badass fucking bassist Ward

[fearx34]

tim is my hero <33 :/

[EddietehFace]

R.I.P The Fall of Troy

:(

[macwild1234]

Goodbye FOT :(

This is a great vid to remember them by ToT

[LazyNoJutsu]

I really want to learn how to do whatever that was that Tim did at 1:30.

Even though it doesn't look hard, I'm still lost.

[MegaCorpus]

honestly, its music. dont make it complicated by adding this sub-genre shit.

[TalkSic666]

It is all music stop trying to put it into a genre, Any music inherits the qualities of its creator so if you want to put it into a genre it is "thomas erak" music. ps. people who don't play music shouldn't judge what they have no understanding of

[Iunnnoo]

@TalkSic666 best comment ever left,

[JustinCaparas]

@TalkSic666 Its easier to be upset then it is to be happy.

[amsscorpio]

@TalkSic666 totally agree, if you dont play an instrument then i dont think you have a say. but I ussually call fall of troy some kind of ...post punk hardcore lol weird but ehh theyre awesoem regardless, i wish they never broke up :(

[nlo13]

I'm loving the talk about "proggy" bands on this page. Here's some favorites of mine at the moment. Check out Hella or Tera Melos if you're into really spastic shit, Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero if you want more of a heavier metal sound, and Liquid Tension Experiment if you want a band where basically every member is a virtuoso at his respective instrument.

[thehuman371]

You fucking win. And on a fall of troy page. Add them to that list and you've got my favorite bands basically. well I like dream theater over liquid tension but same thing basically

[megapwner27]

0:45 is probably the best i've seen in my life XD

seeing tim rock out like that on a bass :D

[Twistedphysics]

1:41 Omg rape

[exsymphony]

i dont think anyone realyy knows wat they mean to be except them. but just goin by wat prog rock is and wat tfots songs are it maakes sense that they are prog rock. but u know durin shows thomas always calls it the "punk rock" show but obviously they are not punk rock. matter of fact they wil blow away any punk rock band out there. so i think u should just interpret wat genre u think they are for urself. unless for some reason u think this is pop...

[icirum]

@exsymphony

not punk?? thats ridiculous.

i agree they are proggy, but if you cant hear the punk in there,, i dont even know what to say.

[exsymphony]

of course i hear the punk influnce u hear it in alot of songs from alot of bands BUT they are not punk rock they are above and beyond that by far. and i would know my previous favorite bands before tfot were sum 41 green day blink 182

[EmoKingSam]

by the way its not called mathrock its called mathcore. and yes they are mathcore. but they are also screamo :P

[EpsilonX]

@EmoKingSam

there is math rock. it's mathcore without the hardcore.

[EmoKingSam]

if they arent screamo then howcome he's singing with high exhales which is a form of scream? his voice isnt naturally like that -.-

[exsymphony]

also mos defntly the sexiest vid ever

[dafallotroy]

ah man, fuck the new music, this is where it's at

[Cooleemee43]

I saw these guys open for Clutch and Coheed and Cambrea and they sucked bad. That singer and I use the term only for identification purposes is the worst ever at least the screaming parts anyway. Don't hate Fall of Troy loyalists to each his own, now let me get something for this headache I got from this band.

[rallychild]

hahah knifechase probably rubs his vagina while listening to tom waits.. if your gonna bash music, go comment on one of hinders music vids or something. dont try and bash something thats way more talented than tom waits.. your just making yourself look like a jackass

[flipkickhaha]

its so funny/ cool to go back and watch an old ass video like this and see how young the band looked, compared to how they are now haha

[knifechase3144]

Where the fuck did my most epic annihilation of chaoticfaggorty go?

[chaoticambiance]

probs lost it in your gaping vagina you fuckwit lol

[halo3fr33k1]

lol what do u listin to taylor swift and shit like that, and i personaly do think this song isnt that great but listin to What Sound Does a Mastodon Make? by the fall of troy fucking amazing riffs and all that shit and if u dont like screamo wh ywould u look up a screamo band in the first place

[EmoKingSam]

finally someone supports the fact that TFOT is screamo and not silly progressive rock.

[exsymphony]

tfot is not screamo or even close. screamo is bands like bring me the horizon. who are made for gay ass scene kids. dis is progressive rock/post hardcore/ mathrock. and this is also awesome.

[EpsilonX]

@exsymphony

bring me the horizon is just crappy deathcore, not screamo. screamo is like..the used. alesana and day to remember are post-hardcore. the fall of troy is like mathcore/post-hardcore

[exsymphony]

@epsilonx i got some songs from those bands cept bmth and i did say tfot is mathcore/posthardcore but also prog rock. but i also think theyv developed their own kind of prog post hardcore sound that cant be duplicated. which is why they are my favorite band.

[EpsilonX]

@exsymphony

well most mathcore is progressive in nature. you can't be chaotic if you're not progressive, do you agree?

[exsymphony]

in a way. tfot has the most uinique progressive ive heard. in their chaotic state that is. cuz most other prog rock bands ie. muse queen rush are most defntly not as chaotic as tfot was in say doppleganger. but they also have their soft side and anything in between. and some of their songs idk wat genre they would be like caught up for example. im pretty sure not mathcore

[EpsilonX]

@exsymphony

well i mean bands like dream theater and btbam are both progressive and stuff (i don't like btbam though) but i think tfot is just technical chaos and the songs just so happen to be progressive. i don't think they mean to be prog. but you're right, they are sorta progressive.

[maju36]

to me screamo is any band that screams alot...so id say doppleganger was a screamo cd...just because its not has hardcore as bmth or any other deathcore band doesnt mean they arent screamo but....theirs way to many fucking genres

[exsymphony]

well thats ur interpretation of screamo doesnt mean they are screamo. sceamo tends to be like the bands that just scream....period. some of their cds may contain tons of screamin but overall as a genre they arent screamo. they might be partial genred screamo not sure. the new album does prove my point though

[maju36]

just because its the same band doesnt really mean its the same genre...i dont really care what genre its considered but id say this song would be screamo

[exsymphony]

its actualy proly their most mathcore song. but possible screamo too.

[lumpagogo]

This is way below screamo. It's not even noise--it's torture-core.

[maju36]

@lumpagogo this song is amazing.lol

[MrLawlicious]

what?

[Mcruled]

@lumpagogo stop trollin

[lumpagogo]

@Mcruled

Are you still on parole?

[knifechase3144]

You talentless cocksuckers. How dare you drag Tom Wait's name through the mud.

[avengedheartagram]

@knifechase3144

Because it doesn't take talent to play guitar like that, and sing at the same time.

[Manicz]

Oh look at me, trolling on youtube, pissing in a sea of piss. Go fuck yourself.

[knifechase3144]

Wasn't "trolling" fuckface. I came upon this piece of shit band when I was LOOKING FOR TOM WAITS.

[Manicz]

If you weren't trolling you wouldn't have commented.

[chaoticambiance]

knifechase3144...instead of you commenting on shitty bands, im going to comment on shitty humans, i imagine you as one of those stupid assholes who thinks that by calling a band shit people are going to stop listening to them, in reality it just makes you look like an ignorant fuck, actually let me rephrase, confirms that you are an ignorant fuck. save your comments for the tom waits videos, just because you cant comprehend a band musically doesnt mean they are shit....it just means your stupid.

[knifechase3144]

I wish I had the strength of will to ignore your stupidity. Sadly:

A) I didn't think "that by calling a band shit people are going to stop listening to them." I would never be so naive to think that my opinion could change the fact that you have no taste.

B) how does my extreme distaste for a horrendous band translate to not "comprehend(ing)" it. To the contrary, I would say that you don't "comprehend" good music and therefore consider this piece of shit band, trying to trick

[knifechase3144]

Tom Waits fans into hearing their shit music, as good. So die screamo faggot.

[Gunsfann]

Fucking ignorant ass

[knifechase3144]

You just got owned chaoticfaggotry.

[knifechase3144]

Oh, chaoticfaggotry. You know what's really funny? You call me stupid, yet you don't know proper grammar. First off, you use "your" incorrectly, like a grammar school student. There is "your" (the possessive sense) and "you're (as in you are). get it straight before you call another person stupid. And learn proper use of commas and periods, as well.

[squirtizzleskates]

What relevance does this have to music?

[knifechase3144]

You just got owned again, chaoticfaggotry. Anyone else want to step up? Or are you such a coward that you just click thumbs down in the fear that I will destroy you.

[aarondude66]

too bad he tom waits doesen't compare to the percision and talent the fall of troy has dicksucker

[LinkkilledthepromQ]

[jaw dropped]

[NoobisPrime123]

And what a fucking crazy show this was!

[NoobisPrime123]

okay pretty sexy video

[salesupmarketing]

OHHH yeah, and redmond fire house.

[salesupmarketing]

Hey!! I shot and edited this video.

Venues: El Corazon, Vera Project and Neumos in Seattle, WA.

They were AMAZING shows.

[Powerboy777]

2:36

[soc2er]

1:24 ...........love that

[7hrice]

man these shows used to be rockin...pre-manipulator...tim ward days.

[420NinjaAttack]

You obviously haven't been to a FOT show in a while...

[nickmonkey22]

i hate ppl who only like them for fcprmix from gh3

[tomthedestroyer]

@nickmonkey22 Yea, the book was better.

[calebromance101]

@nickmonkey22 lol then you hate me but its not just one song i like. i like the band becus the guitarist is fucking crazy as hell well actually the hole band is

[Lemonncloud]

The fall of troys demos sound much better the the album versions. why is that? that raw sound is just spectacular

[Mcruled]

because demos are basicly all thomas and with album versions producers come along and fuck it up, they try to 'clean it up'

[Lemonncloud]

I agree on the last part but Thomas isn't the band..

[Mcruled]

dude tom writes most of the bass parts and 50% of the drum parts, the guys been playing drums for 21 years and bass for 11.

[squirtizzleskates]

thomas plays folk drums, mostly. if you've ever heard him play drums, you can easily tell the difference between him and andrew. and for the bass part, the bass when tim was in the band to the bass when frank was in the band are completely different styles.

[EndlessFusionist]

you know tom recorded the drums for webs right?

[squirtizzleskates]

yeah. have you heard the drums in webs?

[EndlessFusionist]

yeah. just sayin.

[halo3fr33k1]

not any more

[hoockedonchronic]

favorite band for the past 5 years :)

thomas erak high screams GIVE ME FUCKIN CHILL and definitely if your at the show. ;D

[TheBombFactory]

does anyone else think this song gives you a head ache to learn? I got about to 95 seconds through and I need to take a break jesus christ this is hard

[MIKEYYUMYUM92]

you learnin' by tabs?

[TheBombFactory]

GP5 tabs and music

[Mcruled]

guitar? hell ya

[sparky89104]

1:33 lloks like Tim hit Thomas with his bass, just watch as Thomas flings forward

[NoDoubtFilms]

No where near his head lol

[MIKEYYUMYUM92]

TBH better than the other version

[mrsyringex]

totally backed

[thelegendofjerry]

lmfao 1:40

[thebenjaminkeller]

you did an awesome job on this video man thanks so much!!

[DestroyEmos]

anybody know if theyre touring in the fall?

[Jecht444]

yeah they are

[superlocoymas]

anybody knows what guitar is using in 0:38 ?

[TheseYeahThese]

i think that's an old LTD ESP EC-300.

there s a slightly new one, the ec-400.

i have a 400 but these are discontinued altogether

[pfeff11]

what a bunch of fuckin piss weasels

[pidrgu]

wtf did they do to u?!

[icydeath2020]

god fucking dammit.

i fucking love this band. so much

:'DD

[bobwatters]

i love when he jumps into the crowd still playin the guitar

[rikumaru2]

i'd also like to bring up the fact that Tom was the name of a character in the novel House of Leaves. a lot of their songs have references to that, so it might be a double reference. for the other songs that bring it up, see: You Got a Death Wish, Johnny Truant and The Hol[ ]y tape (supposed to be the holloway tape)

[jokedout]

wtf does Tom Waits have to do w this?

[checkerdshoes21]

He wrote a song called The Fall of Troy.

They named their song Tom Waits

[MarxBakuninMe]

Tom Waits is better than The Fall of Troy.

[DuKtape]

punk rock > hardcore punk > math hardcore punk

so uh..

[GarbageRemoval]

Where do these clips come from? Looks like an absolutely INSANE show!

[jetershomie]

1:24 typical dynamic shit that makes most FOT songs FKN SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIICK!

[CrAzYbRoS]

Oh dear God....

[marlobrun]

thats not tom waits, fuck this shit

[jaymista]

its tom waits (demo) dumbass cockwank...

[AICnSP4EVA]

2:38 rofl!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hohemhai050]

amazing video

i love tfot

yeah!

[sparky89104]

Music is music, Dont argue of what sounds like what, Just sit and listen to the fsll of troy if you like it, if you dont, dont say anything.

[billionear]

Wow great stuff. I was at my sons primary school last week and they we're doing a similar tune. Very catchy. Whats the lead singers name? She has a very pretty voice. My only critisim is it lacks a little energy. Otherwise it would make a great aerobics track. Thanks for posting.

[Clydelishes]

What?

[billionear]

Oh excuse me. I do apologise. I thought the lead singer was a girl. Its actually a gender challenged boy/ male? Anyway he has a nice voice. Very gentle calming. Thats why I thought it was a girl. Silly me. Nice song all the same.

[aintnoluckitsskillz]

fuck you. thats thomas erak

[billionear]

I did say sorry and thanks for the offer but I'll decline. So I guess you'll just have to fuck yourself. I'm sure your manage that. An expert I'm sure. The lack of grammar in your earth shattering sentence alerted me to the fact. Most people find it difficult to operate a keyboard with one hand. So be sure to relieve yourself and use both hands when you reply. There's a good lad. :-)

[aintnoluckitsskillz]

Oh man, I love it when I find losers like you who's sole purpose it is to go on you tube and point out people's grammar mistakes. While I'm just trying to defend Thomas Erak, little punk-ass losers like you have to talk about errors in sentences in a youtube comment. I'm sure you're going to reply with some witty statement that only some no-life faggot like you would take an hour just to type. Have a nice day you fucking loser.

[billionear]

My. Such hostility. But you must admit it does feel good to type with both hands doesn't it? What a change in keyboard skill's. Massive improvement. You see now you can change your name to aintnowankigotnewskillznow. Be proud. You've done awesome. Keep up the good work. But do try and leave out the profanities next time. You know kids come on here and read this fucked up shit. That's a nice lad. You have a good day too. :-)

[punkXrockX123]

your a douche.

[billionear]

Beats being a punk.

[punkXrockX123]

i dont get it. douche.

[billionear]

Thats because your a punk .

[punkXrockX123]

not really.

[billionear]

No really your a punk.

[punkXrockX123]

and your a douche.

[billionear]

Like I said in the beginning, its better than being a punk.

[punkXrockX123]

but the thing is, its not. people don't like douches beause thier annoying people like you. not the same with being a punk. and im not a punk anyway, which is the funny part.

[billionear]

Fuck me how fucking thick can you be?

[billionear]

You know what let me help you. Punk. I'll do it in stages so you can keep up. I can't much fairer than that. If you still insist your not a punk after I present the evidence then I'll pay for your local veterinarian put you down.

[billionear]

Here we go try and keep up. You are a punk when...1. You are so mediocre that you don't have any idea how much of a punk you are! You are a punk when...2. Someone has to tell you more than ONCE that your a punk! Rule of thumb. If it looks like dog shit and it smells like dog shit....guess what?!...it's probably dog shit!! Punk!

[billionear]

The final piece of evidence you are a punk. I call on the punk himself to take the stand. Prosecution. 'Can you please state your name and tell the court what you are.' Defendant. 'My name is punkXrockX123 . But I don't know what I am.' Prosecution. ' Is it true PUNKXrockX123 your style on your youtube page is punk?' Defendant 'Duh! Duh! Duh!' Prosecution. 'Your honor the prosecution rests.'

[billionear]

Now I am fair man lets leave it to the other tubers here to decide on the evidence presented that you are in fact a punk. Prosecutions closing statement is simple. 'You do not have to like me or even agree with me. But look at the evidence and make a informed decision.

punkXrockX123 himself cannot deny he NOT ONLY calls himself a punk BUT ladies and gentlemen calls it his style. I leave it in your capable hands to return with the right decision. Thank you.'

[billionear]

Such a punk. Don't make me have to prove to you being a douche is better than being a punk.

[pidrgu]

heck yea, i hate those people, they like make the whole paragraph capitalized with periods and such. and they think theyre so smart and better than other people, but they really spend 99% of theyre life finding grammar mistakes

[billionear]

wil f wur al torkd an speld lic u werd be ncestded

[punkXrockX123]

its punkxrock. and at the time of me making my youtube acount, i was into punk rock alot. and your the only fucking person that thinks im a punk.

and how in the fucking world is being a douche better than being a punk anyway, no one likes douches.

[billionear]

Glutton for punishment. Take the day off punkxrock. What happened to the 123??You have a identity crisis?? And seems to be getting worse. If you take loads and loads of heroin it will fix it. I promise.

[punkXrockX123]

i didnt think the 123 would be neccesary to prove my point seeing how i only put that in my name because punk x rock was most likely already taken. and umm nah i dont think im gonna take loads and loads of heroin, seeing as if i dont die from taking it, ill be fucked for life.

[billionear]

Your a punk your already fucked for life.

[punkXrockX123]

k babe what ever. <3
