They remind me of Sonic the Hedgehog for some odd reason....

[TruNikkaz]

@8JobForAMexican8

i know exactly what you mean. the fall of troy's instrumental part on the holy tape at 2:04 makes me think of sonic the hedgehog too. and chon is heavily influenced by their tone and chording. they're obviously better than thomas tho

[Maharoba]

@TruNikkaz

better than thomas? lol. someone is being way too much of a fanboy.

[TruNikkaz]

@Maharoba

no, i'm just a guitarist and i know by judging the technique you hear in this vs the fall of troy that these guitarists are more versed on the guitar than thomas. maybe you are the fanboy.

[thatdamnwetback]

@TruNikkaz Thomas was the only guitarist in The Fall of Troy, AND he did the vocals. Don't get me wrong, CHON is great, but you're comparing TWO guitarists whose only focus are guitar to ONE guitarist who also has to do vocals at the same time. That's a pretty unfair comparison if you ask me. You are kind of a fanboy.

@thatdamnwetback

ok, look. im having a really shitty day and don't mean to be disrespectful, sorry for that...

i was unclear on what i meant, i meant they are better than thomas at guitar. there is a giant gap in technique between these two young musicians and thomas' playing on any of his albums.

i'm comparing them as guitarists. not musicians. but to think i would compare them in the way you are saying is ignorant, because otherwise it's opinionated and cant be proven.

[TruNikkaz]

@thatdamnwetback

there are many bands and musicians that i am a bigger fan of than chon, at the time of me uploading this music, no one had it up. i thought they deserved recognition. i am a big fan of the fall of troy and meant nothing against them or thomas in saying that. i'm just a very big technique enthusiast, and typically comment the way i did solely on technique.

if that makes me a fanboy then i guess i'm a lot of other dumb shit that people say as well

If you read this, you have to thumbs up the video.

[TheMidnightCrowdAz]

I like that this band doesn't try to be dark, or dramatic...it's just fun, feel good music.

[betweenthelines99]

@8JobForAMexican8 fuck i posted on another one of there songs that there music reminds me of sonic the hedgehog but just more bad ass! that's so awesome im not the only one who thought that! thumbs up to you brother!

[AnvikThe]

you all should give sithu aye a listen.

[IDanceTheZombieDance]

i just shat myself from listening to this... I've never heard such amazing harmonizing before!

[IMHOLUKE]

You cant compare these guys and Thomas Erak, so much of what Thomas was good at was pop influence, singing while playing, and use of effects, while these guys are better shredders and more fast paced. Different concepts, similar tone and chording

[kilipeti]

don't like the tones and it's sometimes a bit chaotic this way for me. The playthrough with either of them is just AWESOME, with that tone and audible guitar sound from camera, but this is too digital for me.

[S11KSHOTTZ]

Chon doesnt use break-downs, they use fix-ups

[jayefran]

2:46 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSA

[cardonaband]

@8JobForAMexican8 omg yes!!!!

[mindlessboreden]

@TruNikkaz debatable but they are very funky dude! :D

[minyou12]

How old were these guys respectively when they recorded this? I saw some videos from 2009 saying that the drummer was 12, if thats true he is a god.
