[@fadedsmile1237]

ive been watching this video for 10+ years.. still amazed by the spit.

[@TiernanSongs]

Once, in Tokyo, I saw him spit his gum at the ceiling while playing leads, catch it with his mouth, and keep playing without missing a beat. Much as it was gross, I knew I was in the presence of genius not seen anywhere else in this generation. Haha.

[@fadedsmile1237]

@@TiernanSongs thank you for sharing this with me

[@lagginswag]

@@TiernanSongs same. also saw him one handed, play just got this symphony goin' holding a bra in the other 😆

[@chevpowr]

He did the spit thing at the show I saw too back then lol

[@YTesperado]

Can we all agree that Thomas is and always is a legend

[@ChiefBangarang]

Absoflogginglutely!!! A good friend with a Huge Heart as well🙌

[@JosueRodriguezTonUpBoy]

Thomas once said "well I'm not a good multitasker" and he's singing, playing guitar, moving, and being AWSEOME

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

I love when bands do that special intro thing for songs. When I'm playing along to my favorite songs it feels amazing to be able to free style something that might land in proximity to what I'm listening to

[@ryandarko2115]

The sounds and chemistry this guy and band has is beautiful

[@jaunty_tunes]

Back for my yearly viewing. Never gets old

[@calsakaguchi3267]

This was his at creative prime! that was funny how he tried to fix his string's tuning and he still killed it. Tom Erak everybody 💛

[@890gg90]

he had only been playing four or five years when they wrote doppelganger which is absolutely insane. even his stuff with the 30 years war was technically impressive, and that was 2 years before doppelganger came out. he may not be as proficient as some other long time guitarists but i feel like his playing style is something totally original and unique

[@kanen100]

XD i love how he tunes in the middle of the song

[@BaritonePapi]

That's why gibsons suck

[@kingcatvideos]

Aldo Raine your wrong any guitar can go out of tune like that means you need new strings

[@Mazut0]

Aldo Raine That's not a gibson, its some fake viper thing. Gibsons are the best guitars out there I prefer SG cherry red, or Gibson standard though. I would say that Jacksons and Ibanezes suck.

[@kingcatvideos]

thekazuya005 no its a gibson sg-x from the summer beach series look it up

[@kanen100]

haha i was gonna say you can see the gibson logo. but wether his strings are old, or his tuners suck or whatever, whatever it is it still sounds great

[@donovan.d]

*peeps low cut v-neck* *checks title and upload date, sees '09* Yup, makes sense

[@cmccarrick10]

I saw this guy last year and not a single thing has changed. They're amazing live.

[@sammytheman2000]

So glad they're a band once again

[@destruction1676]

are they?

[@sammytheman2000]

Yeah. Tom actually left Chiodos to focus on TFOT

[@chriscros13]

sammytheman2000 oh shit they gonna tour again?

[@sammytheman2000]

Yeah, they're even writing

[@chopetexxx]

i love the intro that they always do on live with this song

[@momonch]

he's in the crowd and still keeps on playing.. ultimate PREVAIL!!!!

[@lameplanet9075]

I could watch this over and over and never get bored.

[@CorbinTeoto]

napoleon dynamite recording at 1:46

[@joshjohnson1716]

Hahaha I never would've caught that!

[@gseifers1]

I saw them live on their last tour, it was so epic and great.

[@Pochopnie]

Greetings from Poland. Great band, great music :-)

[@DudeWheresMyTom]

He's so fucking strange, I love it

[@JJJaakeeEe]

Yeah that was awesome! Thank you!

[@geo987]

tuning and playing at the same time, this man is a god

[@g.gibson7255]

Shreds harder than lil Wayne

[@7fathomstoport]

anyone does. wayne is a poser.

[@7fathomstoport]

I think its cute wayne thinks he can actually play

[@Adam-cs2qm]

Joshua Buyes oh my god, you managed to completely miss the point of a joke and make yourself out to seem like a pretentious asshat

[@sen-te8oq]

lil waynes my fav guitarist ngl

[@AliceC993]

@@7fathomstoport _oh fuck I can't believe you've done this_

[@falloftroy555222]

i absolutely luv how he tunes his guitar right in the middle of the song ....he owns

[@antsandlions]

much love and respect, i miss you fall of troy

[@allisona7076]

4:29 my favorite part

[@AgowTisro]

He is the only person that can make wearing a guitar that high look good.

[@890gg90]

I really don't know any guitarist that sounds remotely similar, when you watch Thomas with the fall of troy and hear him play you instantly know its Thomas by the style of his riffs.. how many modern guitarists can you say that about? not very many. I've never really been impressed with any other guitarists except Erak and Hendrix,I just don't like they way people are playing guitar. the greats may be more technically skilled but they will never makesomething ascreative as ghostship or dplganger

[@SH-ry2xi]

890gg90 facts

[@bassistwithadeathwish7277]

Only other one is Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

[@lovesgibson]

I always used to think of him as a modern guitar god. He was really the only one like that

[@Creed_fan_69]

Y’all gotta widen your scopes. Tfot is great but they’re hardly the pinnacle.

[@n.senada]

check out the band Pretty Girls Make Graves. You can hear some similarities to Erak. A Seattle band that has obviously influenced him when he was starting out.

[@wonnie]

jeez people, so what if you didn't like the last album? there is always something to enjoy in a band that you've been a fan of for so long. so what if it was different? i personally liked that they were taking a different approach to their music than before. now i'm not saying that the new tfot is better than the old (i personally think that the OLDEST one was the best with the self titled) but it's a part of being a musician that everyone goes through, a change in their music. tfot forever!

[@judgebigmansion3492]

Gotta love the phlegm shots. Screaming can really clear you up, tell ya what

[@mikejsweet]

Tuning the guitar mid song is the most fucking badass thing I've seen. So pro

[@GoodOldAl7]

God i love that guitar so much...so bummed they stopped making them.

[@VirtualyInsane]

His mouth when he sings...It freaks me out...he's like a muppet...still, it's rad.

[@dachaparronbonaparte]

the guys that where hit by the guitar now are blessed!!!

[@DylanChalupa]

i was at this same venue. it was so amazing

[@EEKmusic]

love the intro

[@simongore29]

This was the best era of the band. Frank is the fucking man

[@redrum351]

Nice im seeing april 24th, cant wait.

[@voteZDLR]

God I love that guitar

[@user-yf2lk5gi7q]

His screaming was so much better then

[@mrMAXX135]

so sick

[@fusemc2498]

ahhh, the knuckel touch with frank just compleated this whole video haha

[@21350ctw]

that speeeed

[@iamwesleyfrazier]

REUNION!!!!!!!!!

[@anvium]

Only Thomas would tune his guitar in the middle of a live show. R.I.P.

[@trogdororeo]

Both Erak and Ene are badasses. I'm seeing them on Apr 24th, sucks that they're breaking up.

[@totalxcrap]

oh man. they needa do the whole Warped next year.

[@ThisIsDonnieMusic]

One of the things you should remember about playing live is, you got to entertain the crowd! I think Erak do that! :)

[@1thess523]

Nice SG!!!!!

[@Inverted314]

Sick SG

[@Orphen01]

Hahaha, I just love how the strap dropped at the end.

[@Hellion6325]

I lol'd at the end xD

[@djconstella]

wild.

[@ookazzii]

i love the ending chord lol

[@Danzig6718]

And as Thomas jumped into the crowd and continued to fuckin shred the crowd realized that he'd sold his soul to the devil for mad skills.

[@SpiralsTheBand]

yea i agree, and adam jones and meshuggah guys arent that fast or technical, but still make great music

[@jesus33764]

me encanto en escupitajo!!! xD

[@momonch]

o tnx.. im using ibanez grip wizard heavy.. the best pick ever for me. i should try that tortex =]

[@316reign]

i almost cried when they said they were gonna split up

[@Steambolt_]

Hey AP, this band has three members.

[@bpa619]

Fhpa pofho whaaa?!?!! Is your youtube channel a representation of musicianship?

[@Jaegurmangensun]

@blake2112 The definition of irony is something happening that goes against what one would think. One would think he wouldnt be a good guitarist, because he was originally a drummer. Hence, why I said it was ironic.

[@FakeFlourescentSkies]

2:00 hahaha didnt see that coming

[@knowyourenemies7]

The best part has to be when frank gives him a fist bump. 'nice brah'

I want that guitar so fuckin badly it hurts :[
