  • ok you are looking for the term "augmented" for good breakdowns....all this is just augmented chords with different octaves it doesnt make it good it just makes it different....this isnt considered a breakdown its considered ghost notes...

  • if only the vomiting winter's breakdown was on this that breakdown is the shitttttttt <3

  • AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

  • i favorited this just for your use of tera melos in the opening.

    oh and for the fall of troy

  • The first breakdown sounds exactly like something between the buried and me would do. The fall of troy is sick don't get me wrong they're amazingly talented BUT if you like breakdowns that sound like this you can find other artist that have similar stuff. And breakdowns are amazing as long bands don't make songs with nothing but breakdowns. Breakdowns add hella to songs if they are done how there supposed to be done

  • I agree with this video. 100%.

  • you forgot to put up we better learn how to hotwire a uterus. the end of that song melts my brain every time i listen to it. =[ if any of their songs should be on your video, it was that one.

  • ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!

  • i dont like doppelganger as much as anything else besides newest album which is worst

  • It was so sad to watch them go... Thomas's new band is alright, but nothing like TFOT was.

  • Louis Armstrong also does a phenomenal version of Tiger Rag.

  • Great job man.

    Also great job with adding Tiger Rag at the end.

  • so fucking true! all bands have that chugga chugga motion.

    TFOT has its own unique shit.

    Quit hating people its so true.

    Every band sounds the same, they've all tried to copy TDWP cause they are the ones thats started with good breakdowns.

  • @DropDeadMultimedia yep. tdwp is where that shit all started. it wasn't even bad when they did it. it's so annoying to now hear every band on the face of the planet try and copy them. really if you're going to copy anybody, copy these guys, number 12 or horse the band. haha. not that i condone plagiarism.

  • you sir are chock full of win, thank you

  • I was at TFOT portland farewell show and omg the breakdown in sledgehammer was the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed.

  • i have an endless list of bands with good breakdowns. despised icon along with the fall of troy are on there.

  • refer to title, for my comment.

  • lol thats so weird i was just listening to tera melos like 5 seconds ago

  • great video. sad they broke up but they will go on to write kick ass music. unlikely event songs are the most memorable now.

  • fkn fall of troy!!!

  • I like how you blended Part I and part V so well. great job man

  • You are my new hero for making this video! 5 stars

  • another good compilation, im suprised you didnt include the holy tape, that song is all breakdowns.

  • protest the hero, tool, the fall of troy, meshuggah, Dillinger escape plan, and thrice are the only bands that write interesting breakdowns.

  • @mikeportnoyfan

    out of all of the bands you named, meshuggah and the fall of troy are the only bands that have breakdowns

  • protest the hero has breakdowns in a few songs (listen to the song Limb From Limb) and i can only think of one Dillinger song (listen to the song 82588)

  • @STEAMBOLT uh. wut. 43% burned....

  • this video was genious.. you are a genious lol.. pretty sick though

  • a man a plan a canal panama is spelled the same backwards xD

  • @sharkblazer1 Lmao the fuck I just realized that too.

  • lol ex creatons doesnt have breakdowns the WHOLE song is a break down except for the finger tapp part

  • Laces out, DAN!

  • whacko jacko wins, it has 3 awesome breakdowns in one song, and they're all different and great

  • by the way check out Between the Buried and Me. Very technical stuff. they sound like fall of troy, if fall of troy was more centered around metal. The breakdowns are pretty impressive, as is most of the stuff they do.

  • I have no problem with either despised icon or fall of troy. one has a more progressive feel and one is totally focused on being brutal. Both have a place in this world, it's just that one's going to get shit because certain people feel that music that's not as complicated is automatically less valid. how silly.

  • it's not about being "as complicated," it's about putting effort into the exact thing that defines your entire genre. the fall of troy isn't even deathcore and their breakdowns are better than 90% of everyone's in that genre. i just find that completely ironic. and i've seen btbam 4 times.

  • The problem is that you are comparing a deathcore band to a progressive post-hardcore band. the two don't really mix. And I truly doubt that despised icon is just fucking around when they write music, I'm sure they put effort into it. Deathcore is focused around creating brutal music. if I heard a Fall of Troy breakdown in a despised icon song, it would just sound weird. they're generic breakdowns are simply appropriate for the genre. and it's not like they sound terrible, they're just generic.

  • Also, you lucky bastard, you! I have missed every show btbam's put on in my area the passed 3 years, but I'm going to see them in Columbia SC nov. 23. Finally.

  • are you seeing em with cynic and devin t?

  • I wish. I'm seeing them with Veil of Maya and some band I don't recognize. Seeing them with cynic would be so awesome. I was actually going to see them at the Orange peel in Asheville NC on halloween (which would have been great, since it's only about 45 mins away) with Glass Casket, but I'm required to work on halloween or i'll get canned. you seeing them soon?

  • not till January, but they'll be with cynic and townsend 8-)

  • Shit, I think I'm going to hold off and wait til the saturday Feb 6 show at the Filmore Charlotte. It's way more convenient than driving to Columbia on Monday and then having to get back home so I can get to class at 8 on tuesday. Besides, I'd get to see freakin' Cynic! Don't know much about the Devin Townsend guy, though.

  • /watch?v=rokLH-YRZ1g

  • Nothin wrong with despised icon tho :(

  • The Fall Of Troy get me more amped!! But I enjoy listening to Tera Melos more, their drummer dicks on Andrew Forsman. NO QUESTION... ♥

  • hahaha Tera Melos better than TFOT? lmao.... thats a funny joke im laughing at whoever acctually wrote that haha. go ahead insult me for it. its still hilarious.

  • These all are insane, but i think Ghost ship part 5 is just the ABSOLUTE most intense breakdown ever made. It's like the biblical origin of breakdowns all others try to live up to.

  • i agree that bands need to start making ther breakdiwns different, and lke maybe adding solos to 'em!!!!

  • TFOT is my favie band, thank you so much for making this video. :D

  • whacko jacko's breakdown = <3

  • REMIX has a good one, the end of Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them, has a pretty good one, and Ex Creations is just badass.

  • And melody 5 has a pretty fucking brutal breakdown, don't cha think?

  • Yeah, I agree.

  • best tfot breakdown = laces out dan :)

  • Agreed

  • Ghostship 5 ftw

  • Dude such an ill video. FCPSITS should've been exchanged for the FCPREMIX version .Yes, remix is the gayer version of the two, and I like SITS way better, but the breakdown is much better in REMIX. But dude, sick breakdowns. Sick, sick, SICK.

  • naw man. sitsgepgepgep is so much slower and heavier

  • Guys, all that matters is having fun at live shows and listening to good music. The fall of troy are amazing, that being said. And also, just because f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x. has become 'commercialised', doesnt mean it is a shit song. Its not my favourite FOT song either. Seattleantis is :) But yeah, just dont listen to pussy shit like girls aloud or sugarbabes or other dickbag music like that. Ooh, also, listen to dustep and gangsta rap. That shit is good. No pussy akon or whatever though. Love xx

  • despised icon is terribad

    (terrible + bad)

  • Hardcore sucks. its just punk but more gay

  • despised icon is fucking sick !!! and that breakdowns is godly. this video sucks. hardcore is gay but then again so is every breakdown on this video. DI is not hardcore it's deathcore.

  • the breakdown is terrible :/ ONE NOTE CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG.... CHUG CHUG... BREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    completely uninspired scenecore bullshit.

  • Every breakdown in this video is what a breakdown is supposed to sound like. The Fall of Troy isn't the only band that has good breakdowns. It might sound good but Our Last Night has some sick breakdowns. Check out The Messenger. And I maintain the belief that A Man A Plan has the SICKEST breakdown EVER!

  • Wow What a sick Breakdowns,,,,

    do you know what a breakdown is you stupid fuck

    None of those are danceable at all

    fall of troy is fucking gay

    listen to real hardcore before you start judging a whole genre on one poorly written breakdown

  • you couldn't tell me one "real hardcore" band if i asked you fucking idiot 8-) i know exactly what a breakdown is, and if you think it's some fuckin chug chug bullshit in half-time that you ninja kick the air to, you are VERY mistaken.

  • Real Hardcore would be things like

    Terror,Trapped under Ice.

    If you want to hear some good breakdown listen to Born of osiris.

    fall of troy is only popular because that fucking gay song got onto guitar hero. anything thats on guitar hero must be fucking gay.

  • there are more "TOP 10 XXXCORE SICKEST FUCKIN BREAKDOWNS BITCH FUCK YOU" videos on youtube than i can count; i've heard more than "one poorly written breakdown" ;-) if i want real hardcore, i'll listen to bad brains or converge, not fucking XMOSHXCOREX bullshit like terror.

    and that guitar hero comment was the dumbest thing you've said yet; you don't have the right to call anything gay when the first comment you made was, and i quote, "none of those are danceable at all."

  • I'd have to say That i disagree, breakdowns are a huge part of hardcore. these breakdown sound like a huge mess to me, that being said. Dancing to music is not gay, and if you are actually that narrow minded to think that then you really need to open your mind..

    there are plenty of bad breakdowns i agree, but there are plenty of sick ones.

    I recommend The Acacia Strain. Sick Breakdowns

  • dancing to music isn't gay, i agree. "hardcore dancing" is ridiculously retarded though.

    breakdowns aren't a huge part of hardcore and were never a huge part of hardcore; "hardcore" started in the early-mid 80's and is truly and offspring of the punk movement; listen to the band Bad Brains if you want to be exposed to what real hardcore is supposed to sound like. the shit with the chug chug breakdown bullshit, i like to call "scenecore," because it's whored by teens who think it's tough shit.

  • Okay you have me there. breakdowns never used yo be in Old ass hardcore, why the fuck are we even argueing .

    you like what you like

    i like what i do

    fall of troy to me is fuckin shit im sure you'd say the same thing about the bands i listen to

    by the way

    hardcore dancing may not look cool but it is actually alot of fun

    atleast more fun then standing on the sides like pussies

  • you don't have to hardcore dance to have fun at a show :S it's easy to be enegertic and into the music without flailing your arms and legs everywhere.

  • Hardcore dancing is not even a little bit necessary. It looks retarded and has no place in shows. Just headbang yourself to shit. Or stage dive. Either one. Hardcore dancing is just lame, man. LAME.

  • and the fall of troy was very popular before guitar hero; just because that was your first exposure to them doesn't mean it was everyone else's.

  • haha...

    none of these breakdowns are danceable?

    maybe for some its about listening to a band that has some talent?

  • breakdowns dont have to be danceable you dumbass. fall of troy pwns all other bands. these guys have real talent. unlike the shit that you probably listen to.

  • nice comp. i really like it!

  • Ex-creations is straight wicked

  • I like how the "hardcore" breakdowns at the beginning, are by THE shittiest hardcore bands ever to spread there filth on the music scene. You obviously have no exposure to good bands.

  • you realize that the breakdown at the beginning was supposed to be terrible...?

  • the fall of troy definitely dont write the only good breakdowns. THey arent even that good. The Fall of Troy is flashy hammeronpulloffs and layered guitar asshole guitarist pinches. Listen to hardcore.

  • but you have whacko jacko favorited? :X

  • i like the fall of boy, but they dont write nearly the best breakdowns.

  • this isnt really hardcore... I listen to hardcore and I still think that they make very original and better breakdowns...

  • I didn't say this is hardcore.

  • Who the fuck is the fall of boy?

  • Ignorant.

  • Yes, I'm definitely the ignorant one.

  • I dont know what you're talking about.

  • lol choke on dick you ass, so tom lieks hammer ons, farrrrr better then the repeated rape of a open droped d or lower tuned. although i liek hxc fall of troy is wayyyy better then alota shit out there. oh and lol fall of boy n33b cake

  • I was kidding when i said Fall of Boy retard. wtf is n33b cake?

    Hes faking being insane at guitar, listen to "Wet Warthog" by The Heartland if you want to see young talent.

    or listen to Aminals, their timings are WAY insane, or Tera Melos the band that tours under TFOT, even though they are miles better.

  • fall of troy is so amazing.

  • Sledgehammer's breakdown is the best IMO

  • nice

    check my compilation

  • you gotta get rockstar nailbomb and what sound does a mastodon make on there those are two great breakdowns

  • Comment removed

  • (...part II) and Despised Icon is a good band BECAUSE they're SOOOOOOOOOOOO typical scene band, and to be VERY-VERY-VERY typical, like Despised Icon is, you must have talent. Really shit music are boring, confused stuffs, in the lack of certain conceptions. Despised Icon is the shit! It's done certain - and well. It's scene, it's really scene - but being that really scene is a worth. They must have talent to do this. It is good in it's category. And it doesn't worth more than TFoT. So that's it.

  • phucc the motherfucker haven't sent my last comment. Blow that bitch!! I wrote that I agree with you at all in every aspect, really, and I like TFoT, and they have much more unique riffs then Despised Icon, but Despised Icon doesn't blow at all. Yes and I said, if a band is built only on scene requirements it will be shit, but Despised Icon is not, they're musical style is typical, but they have an own message. (So cheesy but that's true.) That's all I wanted to say.

  • holy fucking SHIT, i have never heard that version of Laces out dan! WHERE DO I I FIND IT?

  • thank you so much!

  • fucking awesome dude.

    Totaly agree with what the defination of a breakdown is.

    5/5

  • if you think tfot are the only band that write good breakdowns... then you need to be enlightened by someone

  • naw it's cool man 8-) they just write the only good breakdowns, don't worry about it

  • Ghostship V easily has the sickest breakdown ever written. This band is the only reason I began playing. I put seeing them live on my bucket list, lol.

  • Despised Icon rock!

    But then so do T.F.O.T

    I agree that The Fall of Troy have better breakdowns but i wouldn't say the other ones sucked... anyone with me?

  • excreations = sex!!!

  • i've got to admit, the ghostship part 5 breakdown is pretty damn killer.

    but it's fuckin cool.

  • THANKYOU FOR ACTUALLY PUTTING FCPSITSGEPGEPGEP AND NOT REMIX!

    I prefer it.

  • @thelegendofjerry

    yeah, the original one has the sickest breakdown.

  • So true.

  • i agree that example of a breakdown sucked, and i agree the the fall of troy probably has the best break down, but have you ever heard the crowing by coheed and cambria, that song has a really good breakdown in the middle

  • yeha its an ok breakdown it doesnt have much too it though

  • good transitions into each song

  • Phantom on the Horizon is brilliant, They made part V EVEN MORE BRUTAL.

    I didn't think it was possible.

  • I just got it 3 days ago... I think it might be their best complete album. It's great music.

  • also, if anyone is in to these breakdowns at all, see you next tuesday is worth giving a listen. or, my personal favorite, a plea for purging. genres are miles apart, but they deal with the same experimental nature. just a lot heavier with much different vocals and downtuned guitars.

    anything experimental would be right down your alley.

  • Thanks, A Plea for Purging is pretty cool. Anymore cool shit you can recommend?

  • haha, i like this.

    i never paid that much attention to the fall of troy. i mean, i've given them a listen, but not much more than that.

  • Thing about The Fall Of Troy breakdowns is that they are all memorable. Like when you hear one you could easily hum along to it or something. Most metal bands etc just have open note breakdowns in different rhythms. TFOT FTW!!!

  • wtf gief laces out dan demo version!

  • omg, this guy is my new best friend. i cant believe how alike we thought our breakdown lists were, holy hell. amazing job man

  • Sledgehammer is fucking monsterous....

  • all of you fucking people are idiots, anyone who listens to devil wears prada and listens to fall of troy and compares them needs to have there head checked, grow up this music is for people who appreciate music and know what there talking about,

  • wait i thought the quote at the end was by plato?

  • Breakdown this, breakdown that. Songwriting, anyone?

  • Like sex in my ears

  • some of you guys are really taking this categorizing thing a little too seriously. fall of troy fucking rules. and good choice for the example of a shitty breakdown. someone should have told that band they're called chord progressions, and they should use them.

  • despised icons breakdown you used is amazaing and despised icon never wanted to be hardcore they're deathcore jerk -.-*

  • they're badcore 8-)

  • in what way they're hardcore??

    they have such a giant death metal influence...

  • nah man, they're badcore, don't worry about it 8-)

  • you dont like em beacause they have an to big death metal influence and you are an old fashionend HxC guy and believes that Sick Of It All are the best band ever right?

  • ummmmmmmmmmmm :S no?

    watch my other music related videos before you start assuming things about my taste, bud :x

  • ya you can definitely hear their death metal influence through that breakdown

  • both ghostship breakdowns are amazing, and laces out, dan!, and hell, all of them are insane.

  • eh. check out some pg. 99 and joshua fit for battle.

  • Oh, and seattlantis is ridiculous.

  • ex-creations is the most amazing "breakdown" I've ever heard, and I don't listen to this modern hardcore stuff for the most part. It's just a time change people.

    Maybe I wouldn't listen to more "hardcore" stuff if it was on par with the fall of troy.

  • whacko jacko steals the elephant man's bones is the best. All of these are great, but it's so intense.

  • He's right. todays breakdowns that are typical "bree" or "oh" breakdowns. its good to see someone experimenting around hardcore.

  • Really, they cant even be compared.

    TFOT isn't metal.

    The mechanics in breakdowns differ throughout genres.

    srsly.

    look it up.

  • dude why are you tellin people to look it up cause you'll only be wrong in the end if they actually choose to TFOT is pretty much metal all over I happen to be a big fan; Srsly TFOT is mathcore which is what? they have a preciseness in theyre music or mechanics as you put it are exact/on point..and in case you didnt know mathcore is a whole buncha genre's in one including "extreme metal" so yeah consider yourself wrong, look that up hehe check out protest the hero theyre mathcore but still metal

  • Your sentence structure sucks.

  • jeezoflip & jewshoeuh3-dude who the fuck cares about sentence structure who are you my english teacher? when im gettin graded i'll give a shit

  • Dude, don't try to start shit on youtube from two month old comments.

    Especially when you're using terrible sentence structure, bullshit sub-genres, and facts that were pulled out of your ass.

    I never said I didn't like them.

    All I said was there is no valid comparison, seeing as though Despised Icon are usually known as "deathcore", and you say TFOT are "mathcore".

    So, technically, you contradicted the shit out of yourself.

    You can't always believe what Wikipedia tells you about music, bro.

  • lol its the fuckin web, so relax no I am in no way contradicting myself didnt you say "TFOT was not metal"? bullshit sub-genres haha what do you think deathcore is? Theres no arguement here just really dont agree with your last comment dont care how offended you get about it, dont care whether you care, and dont care about sentence structure im soo serious. Oh and I cant start shit on youtube cause im using terrible sentence structure? haha thats funny

  • Why does this have 2 thumbs down, I said nothing negative.

    Probably cause I said they aren't metal; I just meant metal in terms of Despised Icon.

    And, to the person that made this, you picked the worst breakdown Despised Icon has, haha.

    And I agree with you on the part where you said the breakdown should be energetic, but you don't have to hate.

    TFOT and Despised have totally different fan bases, each having their own way of "making the floor explode with energy".

  • Despised Icon has great breakdowns, but I think Between the Buried And Me write better breakdowns than the Fall of Troy.

  • no i just got this symphony goin or mouths like sidewinder missless.

    its chill dude. one of the best videos ive seen on youtube.

    hands down.

  • mcauly mculkin is fucking hardcore its there heaviest song. and ghostship part 5 is pretty heavy too at the end

  • Somebody finally gets it!!

  • TFoT is awesome no doubt... i love them but saying they write the only good breakdowns is welll... idk TDWP has better breakdowns then TFOT but i still love TFOT more for their more technical riffs hail TFOTT <3

  • Well I like XSUROSIERJES2's breakdowns. Or maybe EURDGDUEB214435KIhjR's.

    Christ, please just say the actual name. x.x

  • the devil wears pradaa is popular enough wear if you dont know the abbreviation you dont listen to music.

  • did someone drop you on your head as a child?

  • did someone teach you bad insults as a child?

  • that wasn't an insult; it was a question.

    how asinine do you have to be to seriously say that any band is popular enough that any person who doesn't immediately recognize the acronym for their name doesn't listen to music?

  • the fall of troy is sick

  • semi-fiction is the best breakdown.

  • definately.

  • idk. i think the ghostship part v is fucking intense. its slow but damn is it hardcore.

  • Right on brother, this is the way it should be! However, FCPRemix has the better breakdown over GepGepGep, it's alot crazier. The Ex-Creeations and Dark Trail breakdowns are SO fun to play too!

  • I mean As I Lay Dying isn't hardcore, not metal.

  • Oh mys God, call ripleys.

    I found the biggest Douche on Youtube.

    Are you such a dick, that you name yourself,

    "falloftroysucks" and then go listening to their music online and talking about how much you dont like it...................

    wow! Douche Bags like you are one in a million! You should be proud.

  • you're a complete fag.. you made your youtube name something that you don't like?

  • "And none of you even know hardcore."

    "Despised Icon is one of the best bands ever."

    holy irony, batman!

  • i find it sad that u hate them so much u have to broadcast it as ur username. Put any metal guitarist u want againt Thomas Erak and Thomas will win hands down. Also there a million bands that sound like despised icon, there are only two bands that i can think of that are remotely close to tfot's greatness and that Protest the Hero and Mars Volta

  • I love the Fall of Troy, but Between the Buried and Me far exceeds any band to me.

  • agreed. and even mars volta isnt as great. theyre good but FOT is forever

  • Mars Volta is what you get if you give instruments to meth heads. All Fall of Troy does is arrange it into a cohesive song that is otherwise enjoyable to listen to.

    While Mars Volta has their moments, I find them quite overrated.

    Fall of Troy will forever kick their ass.

  • amen to that bro.. :)

  • amen to that colt.. :)

  • Its alright "fallftroysucks", I used to be the same way about...oh, 3 or 4 years ago.

    Until I discovered music that is.

  • o and also, i was browzin these comments and sum people said that tfot arent metal and that theyre panzies. hmm lets c, can u name a band with a younger singer whose plays guitar so well that their should be a style of playin called "erak playin"? o yeah he fuckin sings and screams too! No? thought so...

  • what the fuck does that have to do with metal? or them being panzies?

  • ghostship pt1 and ex-creations, by far best breakdowns in the world, no comparison except for other tfot songs

  • win for putting Whacko Jacko and The Dark Trail, my two favorite breakdowns ever

  • The Fall of Troy write challenging, engaging, technically diverse music. It goes to show that technique and songwriting can be combined to make amazingly heavy and enjoyable tunes.
