The Color Fred: "If I Surrender" acoustic, Live @ Ryan's

[iwontheworldatariot]

TAKING BACK SUNDAY NEEDS YOU BACK. SERIOUSLY.

[JorshWarshington]

He's either that annoying kid with the chipmunk voice or the guy from 'The Notebook'. Either way it blows.

[ToxicatedLum]

such trash lyrics and a fucking arrogant band name, i miss the old fred

[Synthaxdrache]

There are a few vibration in your voice. When you guys are singing. At the same time some pronunciations arent so good. If you just singing to a normal guy he wont easily find any mistakes. For an expert will know immediatly that this song is really easy and not sill not perfect.

[cobradisco]

if you guys were real taking back sunday fans you would know Jesse Lacey and John Nolan started TBS.

[gemmik72]

@cobradisco Come on. Don't be a hipster.

[FTGChris]

TBS album New Again = Poo.

The Color Fred = Pretty good.

Fred + TBS = Better than the two will ever be separate.

[jester1195]

Beautiful, easily...

[SenselessTalk]

i like fred even he stabbed TBS at their backs, i dont know why i just like he's scale, his voice i like him when he's tbs and he's on solo, doesnt change anything...

[amluvmusic24]

I have enjoyed Tbs through the years, no matter who was the band, Adam and John are both awesome. Most bands cant survive the loss of a lead singer or a guitar player, for that matter. I like Fred's solo music, but I like his Tbs work better.

[WeTheKarmaStudio]

doesnt he get sick of singing the same song over and over again.

[RobertMoua]

@WeTheKarmaStudio I am sure he does, but he is good at it. and people can absorb many emotions to be to express it infinitely through whatever art work.

[TheSparkAlchemist]

freaking great

[muzikscud23]

What acoustic is Fred using?

[FreddGHO]

awsomee i love fred

[Blindsniper1993]

TBS sucks and they always have. Fred was the only part I liked and now that hes gone the just plain fail. Fred Keep rocking!

[TheHilightZone]

He was waaaaaaaay better in TBS

[coreyatc]

i agree i think fred gave taking back sunday that sound they had the more pop punk sound now that he left their new guitarist is more of a pure rock guitarist so they had to change personally i dont care for it but there still good bands and artists.

[LiveSkatePurple]

TBS is good and The Color Fred is good to. There both good bands and in my mind i think Fred is doing better now and so is TakingBackSunday. Fred leaving the band and doing something new was prolly best.

[jaredcubfan]

wow dude your a freakin idiot...Songs arent all about difficulty level or having crazy guitar solos...Your just an idiot judging songs... Why would you waste your time doing something so perspective??!! Atleast these guys can make a respectable CD , where's yours? just enjoy the song you prick.

[dovecoteben]

@jaredcubfan I think that, in fact, "you're" the idiot.

[ChrisMcann182]

fred is amazing but tbs are still so much better

[skaau145]

beautiful. he made tbs. they suck now. im glad to see hes doing good in this. i look up to this man like no other

[kski94]

Actually John made TBS.

[MDsandwich]

correct, sir.

[jacobboy14]

this song sounds pretty good

[sajinkom]

FRED kicks major ass  TBS is still good but they would be better with fred

[00TRES]

dude don't you think he wanted to do something diferent on his own lets give him a chance! stop comparing

[bedfall]

but the color fred is not something different. it still have the taking back sunday style. in my opinion

[andypooh2007]

takamine

[c3pohaha]

it'z good but he still sucks for leaving TBS

taking back sunday=ftw

[DYNASTY1031]

wow give him a chance.

[deadlove118]

ah, thanks dude, all i could think of was fuck the world O_o haha

[BrokenMix]

does anyone know what acoustic fred uses ?

[greggmarshalll]

takamine

[johnmorisi8]

SICK ACOUSTIC!!!! ... i so think this song would of been better with adams vocals tho =\

[Greyknight44111]

Fred ftw, this song is way better acoustic and live :D

[deadlove118]

er what does ftw mean? i've seen it a lot and i just can't work it out

[danielosaurusrex]

for the win

[AlexThinks]

I love this song!

Awesome acoustic version

[blinkingly1eighty2]

ANY way you look at his lead at the beginning and in between the verses....

IS BADASS.

:]]

Fred is beastasfuckkk

[bleedthesound]

i can totally hear taking back sunday in hsi songs..wish he never left tbs

[randmanq]

i wish he never even joined and john went on with them

[Mambitalia]

yeah, John really was great in TBS, but I like most of his straylight run stuff aswell .. He's a muchh better singer than Adam and Fred aswell!

[pezdspncr77]

Taking Back Sunday is way better

[faybososlo]

mmmmmmmm'gave it a chance...

sounds like a fall out boy/all time low knockoff...not to be a jerk...it just isn't good in my opinion...especially that falsetto...

[twogunsblazin]

it sounds nothing like fallout boy you tool...

[faybososlo]

So I'm a tool because I don't like it? Yeah...that makes sense.....

[MIGHTIEmouse469]

No, no I think twogunsblazin was writing that he felt that you were a tool because you compared Fred to Fallout Boy. Your taste in music doesn't matter when it comes to your choice in correlations.

[stottsj]

I love the Intro!

[Maczilla96]

I know right!! It's insanely awesome lol

[paolaandchance]

dude he is amazing

[PilpherStory]

His nose is plugged in this performance you can tell..

[darkblade210]

? say what?

[PilpherStory]

You can't hear it on his voice when he goes higher?

[seanatin07]

i love how i pissed yu off so much :L

[blkhawkrise]

lol

skaterguy1210's comment is awsome!

nice choice of words skaterguy!

[skaterguy1210]

hmm that is an interesting and respectable opinion seanatin07. and i believe i speak for everyone here when i say: GO FUCK YOURSELF :-)

honestly, im not a very big fan of the color fred. i was giving him a chance by watching this and its not really my style, but instead of wasting my time bitching about people who like him, i understand that people have different taste. youre just the kind of closed minded faggot that NOBODY likes around. You should kill yourself. ok bye!

[dovecoteben]

@skaterguy1210 "Faggot?" Really? Go DIAF.

[seanatin07]

Let me start off by saying, very interesting thoughts discussed here. That having been said i now need to say that the color fred is the absolute worst performing artist to date. No part of his crappy career has been whatsoever good. All of you are gay and have no taste in any good music if you think that this person is any good at making music. His mother should have aborted him. No joke. Just the fact that there is more than one person giving their "favorite quotes" GAYS!

[gr33nday1946]

i will respect your opinion that he is the "worst performing artist to date" IF you show me something good your sorry ass has written.

just b/c you dont like something doesnt mean it sucks.

[ghetto87cop87]

commin from a homo that play's runescape?? ha go suck ur mothers chode asswipe

[kinuta]

Are you a musician by any chance? Do you claim to "love music"? I bet you're one of those pre-teen kids who loves to bash on video's like these, pretending to have insight on something your mind is completely oblivious to. If you're a musician you should appreciate the music of everyone, because it's just a reflection of their individual thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc.

[coustomerpickuptv]

damn, everytime i look at a video of taking back sunday or the color fred you're close minded ass comments are on here. you have no idea what youre talking about. and the shit that you're saying like "His mother should have aborted him" is just stupid, no one cares if you like his music or not, i respect the idea that you don't like him, but to say he should have been aborted is just fucking stupid.

[joflube44]

fred =(

[OceanMinded180]

is it just me or...do those guitars kinda...suck? maybe its just recorded badly but freds lead is the only part that sounds in tune

[WOLFNTHEFALLS]

haha, he does!!!! lol thats Funny, Great SOng!!!

[luuserface]

fred looks like ryan gosling

[wheresmychapstick10]

i loooooove freds voice :D

[Circa669]

Lol to the guy drinking beer in the back. haha.

[luuserface]

fred leaving tbs is like tom leaving blink! AH!

[StephanieFloresca]

personally, i think hes much better off on his own

[CaminDaR]

fred is seriously better off on his own.

[wethekings55]

honestly i saw u three times with tbs i dont like the band anymore since u left fazzi is no replacement for u and u really need to come back is vocals lack and his guitar skills are prooly worse then mine.. plz come back u would be doing every one a favor.. i like ur new band and it shows of ur vocals and guitar more but i liked u more as part of tbs

[wethekings55]

**his vocals lack and his guitar skills are prolly worse then mine**

[coustomerpickuptv]

you do realize that this isn't fred's youtube account, right? and he doesnt want to be in tbs anymore, thats his descision and personally fazzis pretty talented

[gearsdan]

Fred come back to Taking Back Sunday!

the band is not the same

[distruptor]

he(fred) looks like the boy in sixth sense.

[nammm3]

he was great w/ TBS and i like him alot in this song, especially the chords he played on his guitar for this song!:-D

[tomgirl1341]

takig back sunday is so much better fred shouldve stayed adams voice was(and still is) so amazing when fred was there to sing in the back they were great together

[banditwinter]

this sounds like the old tbs stuff! gl fred

[thekingoflalaland]

oh now i understand. sorry.

[NinoEatsTigno]

fred sounds weird without adam

[irsk8er]

ya... it's like something is missing

[NinoEatsTigno]

exactly

i love blink 2

[thekingoflalaland]

what does blink have to do with that conversation

[NinoEatsTigno]

watch his videos click his username

[irsk8er]

how dare i compare? the color fred obviously has a lot of thing in common with tbs

[Krane167]

the color fred is one of the best around along with the band Annasay. I just discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too

[crzychris30]

Its not about being bigger then tbs for him, its about making "HIS" own music and he is doing what he loves to do.

[cdNirvanafooFighters]

yeah i don't know a lot about this story why he left the band but my opinion is that he want to do his own musik a be the lead signer also he left taking back to create his own musik

[ministerofhate]

cdNirvanafooFighters: The Color Fred was supposed to just be a side project while TBS was not touring etc. Fred wrote material for their new upcoming cd & the rest of TBS didnt like it & put him down so Fred got upset and quit the band & started doing this full time. Also the lead singer of TBS Adam Lazarra is an Alcoholic Asshole and Fred is a clean cut Straight Edger so that didnt help at all. Adam liked to blame Fred for things that went bad in concert that were Adams fault but blamed Fred

[jamesfyo123]

yea i agree with bloodyan9el, as much as i would love him to go back to tbs, the reason he left is because he was writing a lot, but it was too "poppy" for the direction the band wanted to go in

[justger]

Woh the Colour Fred's pretty good... I still think he would've been better off staying in Taking Back Sunday. Also, I doubt he'll attract much "new" fans, just gonna get some tbs fans that miss his voice, he'll never get as big as TBS and I really don't understand why he left

[ministerofhate]

I dont think Fred cares that much about Fame and Fortune that hes willing to sacrifice his happiness and satisfaction... Hes already tasted fame and fortune and obviously it wasnt enough to make him stay in TBS and get into fights and arguments being put down by Adam Lazzara all the time LMAO. If you read the lyrics to songs like If I Surrender and Complaintor its a real eye opener to Fred's side/feelings about TBS

[350drifting]

i didnt even know that the guy from Taking Back Sunday was in The Color Fred, and i like them

[funneverends]

u kidding me? lol, hes the one who started it, fred mascherino.

[shawnpaterson]

Fred started TBS? Wow.. that's way wrong.

Fred was in the band Breaking Pangaea and they went on tour with TBS, and then they needed a guitarist so he left Breaking Pangaea for Taking Back Sunday.

[funneverends]

no, what i meant was HE was the one who started the color fred.

[shawnpaterson]

oh, i get ye.

[irsk8er]

you're right... tbs was so good with him and the color fred is nowhere near taking back sunday...

[BloodyAn9el]

Different styles.

You can't compare the two, their both great at the genre they play.

[lasofia13]

I love this song in acoustic

it's adorable

=DD

[jbon182]

if this song doesnt get stuck in your head, you just might have a problem

[superguitarduo]

dude im diggin the new takamine

[gerardfan226]

I love The Color Fred...Rox

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

awesomeriffic

[LillieLovesMDE]

i love his facial hair. :3

[THEOFFICIALNCAA]

taking back sunday had sooo many memories now this crushes me

[brianm1966]

the color fred > TBS

[Byahhftw]

bahahahhahahahahahahaha

[heffaplease]

he should have stayed with tbs and done his solo career this sucks i'm so fucking bummed

[SaintJimmey]

I like this better than TBS

[Kounnas]

i met him today at warped tour,he signed my poster and i got a picture with him,it was awsome.

[ScottGoldbergFilms]

Check out my recent video. I filmed some of the Meet and Greet.

[CHEWEDgumPRODUCTIONS]

dude i was on stage with him at warped tour it was soooooooo sweet!

[yannissl4]

You're amazing =D

[GerardFrankBob]

hey! i know that guy! thats my friends cousin Fred! KOOL!!! hes an awesome guy

[emptyset06]

all fred did was use tbs to get famous then used it to get his own band signed.

[splace77]

IMO he deserved it cuz it worked...

[MCRluverxo]

Why would he fait four years then?

I disagree, because his own band is not even big.

I've seen them four times, and there are only about fifty people watching him.

Don't make ignorant comments.

[meltedpickle]

I like The Color Fred a lot more than I thought I would when I first heard about it :].

[lexxnis]

i met mr fred at my warped[:

[chloeXvenom]

is the color fred a BAND? or is he like solo, with ppl playing for him??

im really confused :/

[meWASHER]

They are a band.

[chloeXvenom]

[meWASHER]

No problem.

[kbroomall]

[CHEWEDgumPRODUCTIONS]

[bouchrock]

[chocolatepieeater]

[comurph]

the color fred is a band

[ScottGoldbergFilms]

This song sounds the best acoustic and I bet they started it as an acoustic song....it's how most songs turn into songs on a CD for most bands.

[MoshpitManhattanx394]

wah! i miss fred, i wish he would go back D:

[Brit0tany4]

Fred should start playing other songs for actoustic sets.. If I Surrender is starting to get old.

[Jephaslover13]

this song sounds great acoustic and electric

[sk8brder40]

i love the color fred! I wish more people liked him... FRED MASCHERINO MUST LIVE ONN

[armorforsleepbecky]
