Spin (Guitar & Vocals Playthrough) - Fred Mascherino

[@PhantomKing88]

It stung to hear you say "Their song". I know you haven't been with them for a long time, but just know that I have love for John AND you. Fred you are very humble but just know that YOU were essential to what made TBS truly phenomenal. I got back to WYWB and Louder Now the most. That's YOUR voice, YOUR guitar work and some of YOUR lyrics. You are gem. Thank you for all that you do and all that you have done.

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much for the kind words

@@TheColorFred I just stumbled upon this channel... This comment hits me hard man, you were my childhood, you were my teenage years, you were the lines I sung.

[@musicc2251]

This comment is on point. I used to play all of the songs on my guitar in my basement and scream his parts as if I was playing with them. Fred is such a legend. No one can else can make TBS what it used to be without him being included.

[@HaevyGlow]

Same here, fam! Louder Now IS Taking Back Sunday for me! It's the album I listened non-stop for about a year. Fred, thank you for being a major part of something special!

[@hazyeyes333]

Hell yes!

[@kaileynadine2811]

I always listen to the live version of this song over the studio. Thanks for this !

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@AaronTamm]

If 2020 has any redeeming moments, hearing Fred rip out some iconic TBS tunes is absolutely one of them.

[@TheColorFred]

You just made my day! Thank you

[@Jaredt771]

One of my absolute favorites. So good. Thank you for sharing. 30 year old me is just as stoked on this song as 15 year old me was.

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much for watching ✌️

[@kylewalker7919]

Spin was always a favorite!

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks for watching!

[@EricMerrow]

Damn dude!!! This was killer!!!!! Absolutely loving these play-throughs 🤘🤘

[@TheColorFred]

Thank you Eric!!!

[@maxrox92]

Fred is peak early 2000s rock guitar

[@3eb23]

I always loved the intro/lead riff in this song, but watching this playthrough made me realize how intricate and interesting the writing was all the way through. That was fantastic!

[@TheColorFred]

That means a lot. Thank you so much!

[@arthurluay9002]

Man, I learned to scream from listening to this album. My wife would sing Adams parts, and I would do yours as it was in my range

[@TheColorFred]

That is a good marriage right there! Thank you for still watching me play!

[@doctorglock1691]

Love to see a cover man!

[@frankenclouds5740]

Thats a long relationship. 👌👌

[@visionmauto]

Thats pretty damn awesome!

[@getrealband]

The guitar part at 4:50 is so good. That little pull-off part... Everytime! You still got it dude.

[@TheColorFred]

I really appreciate that! That's one of my favorite parts to play for sure

[@ChipxtleMayo]

Words can't explain how happy this makes me

[@TheColorFred]

thanks for being here to watch & listen!

[@DreDay1993]

I hope you know fred that TBS would have never been what they are without you man.

[@TheColorFred]

Many thanks

[@lovesgibson]

Louder Now is such a timeless album. Probably Taking Back Sunday’s best sounding album in terms of sound quality, and just all the melodies and everything are so nice on the ears. So weird that it’s been over 15 years

[@TheColorFred]

So much work went into LN. Glad to see the love for it still. Thanks for watching!!

[@CaptPostmod]

"I Am Fred Astaire" is probably one of my top 15 rock songs of all time. I didn't realize until just this week that the line-up that wrote "Where You Want To Be" is pretty different from TBS before and after. It's been a good weekend discovering Fred Mascherino and his awesome projects!

[@TheColorFred]

Much appreciated!!!

[@GoHomeFreshmen]

Dosent matter that you’re in a studio by yourself. You still do the same live moves I saw you do when I was 12. I’m 28 now and I couldn’t be happier to see this. Truly an amazing thing to see. Fred I appreciate this More than you’ll know.

[@TheColorFred]

Anytime someone will watch, I'll put on the show. Thanks for attending

[@lovesgibson]

The guitar on this song is so epic btw

[@MrSaokid4463]

THAT WAS FUCKING BAD ASS, MAN!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

[@chanchaniceman]

You still got it even after so many many years.. keep it up,Fred

[@Luksmf]

There's no deny, Fred WAS the key to TBS great songs. And look at this performance, flawless. I didnt realize how beautiful and agressive all the guitar parts were until I got to see this vid. it makes this song better that already is! thanks Fred!

[@MatthewBess]

This is the song that made me answer “Fred Mascherino” when people would ask me who my biggest guitar influences are. All these years later and my answer still hasn’t changed.

[@TheColorFred]

That is always my biggest joy to hear. I LOVE playing guitar so much! So, it makes me so happy if I can inspire other people to love playing too. Thanks

[@starsbyhum]

Really just want to hammer this point home, @thecolorfred. Your work made me pick up a guitar. I heard this song on Madden 07. I was playing three sports at the time and dropped every single one to learn guitar so I could learn TBS songs.

[@reclamation_dream]

TBS is so lucky to have you, and we gonna miss you just too much too much.

[@bradsnyder3119]

Those 2 albums you did with TBS are part of the soundtrack to my and many others lives. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing art with the World.

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks for being here Brad! I really appreciate it🙏

[@ComicTom101]

Fred is back. This was brilliant

[@-shi.v-]

bro one of my all time favorite musicians just has a youtube channel that he consistently uploads to where he plays old tbs songs? fuckkkk yes

[@fernandohenriquez]

Perfectly sound, this guy was the entire band

[@virtualchili3757]

I have watched this video and the other playthroughs so many times now. TBS with Fred will always be the best TBS.

It's great that you're able to live these songs again Mr. Fred. I love your skills man, I hope you get to play with the guys again.

[@TheColorFred]

Thank you 🙏

This was the one that got me into TBS. Shoutout Madden 07.

thank you for my childhood, i remember my baby sitter playing a decade under the influence was i was 7.

[@TheColorFred]

Haha! That’s hilarious. Well, thanks for still being here!!

[@thesolongvinylsofficial6939]

The Fred Era of Taking Back Sunday was the best dude, you f*cking RIP on all the songs, you and ole Adam go together like peanut butter and jelly. Where you want to be and Louder Now were my favorites in the 8th grade and they aged beautifully, keep these videos coming man, it’s great to hear you on these songs again.

[@sidebox]

I came across this 3 years later… it’s like falling in love all over again. Thanks so much for this. You were so great with TBS - love your channel.

[@loser18777]

Overlooked song right here. Those boys were shredding!!

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@FlamingRaccoons]

Never understood how you could play that lead and scream like that at the same time. Incredible as always, Fred!

[@TheColorFred]

Practice, practice.... get mad, practice more

[@blu3arizona]

Smiled at the whole video. I love this so much.

[@hey_mario]

I wasn't expecting to be blown away.... God damn Fred you're amazing!! Thank you for this!

[@TheColorFred]

I really appreciate it! Thanks for being here

[@kevink6420]

Between the verse section chord progressions, the little hammer ons/pull offs and harmonic fills you hit have always sounded BOSS to me and they make this song even better.

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much Kevin! Definitely one of my favorites

[@danieleven315]

It's crazy to see that even one of the composers and performers of the song still has difficulty performing it, Shows how technical it really is.

[@rorydlasnow]

Haha HELL yeah man. And having a call interrupt a video take is the worst. Unfortunately too damn relatable 😂

[@TheColorFred]

Haha, Damn technology!!!

[@sophiauniverse]

I just saw Taking Back Sunday recently in Irvine CA. I wish you were up there. It’s sucks I never got to see you live. Keep playing your TBS songs and someday you’ll do a reunion along with Eddie and Matt. I’ll pay anything to see that.

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much. 🙏

Def the best TBS era! You rock Fred!!!

[@TheColorFred]

Haha, thank you so much!!!

[@kylechaos6124]

Fred, you are a goddamn legend. The way you ended the video was perfect. How you just stood there catching your breath, but you had that look of satisfaction on your face like "Dammit that's the one!" Because you knew if you had to keep at it, you'd blow your voice. Man I know exactly how you feel. Hahaha definitely an idol to me.

[@TheColorFred]

Thank you Kyle! You just nailed it... but I'm also satisfied that it was obvious. I would never be good at poker.

@@TheColorFred lol I feel you there, man. It must be like a walk down memory lane recording these songs. They were seriously a big part of my early twenties lol i remember listening to louder now in my room for hours on end lol i wanna say Miami and Up against are probably my favorite songs on that album. But my favorite songs by tbs, and in general still to this day is A Decade under the Influence and 180 By Summer. Those songs will go with me to the grave lol

One day I'll be able to rip like you Fred. So amazing to hear you play.

[@tvera110]

FRED!!! So thankful for this fucking track. Want you to know I was aware as a kid of TBS but I actually found this hidden gem through burnout the video game. I used it as my track workout when I was in HS. It would pump me up before a race. I love what you put into this song. It helped me in some heavy times SOOOO much. I still turn to it as a pump up for me with anything. Thank you Fred for your contribution to the history of music. I will ALWAYS show this song to everyone as their first taste of TBS and your work.

Out of all of the albums and songs this band has put out this is far and away one of the best songs they’ve created. The back and forth vocals, melodies, guitar, and drums are so alive. Fred definitely helps make this song one of the strongest in their catalog. Well done dude.

I dont how the friendships are with all the guys now days (if any), BUT for the love of god i would pay any amount of money to see fred brought back into the band in some capacity. even if it didnt work out to be a permanent thing, even just a run of shows with both fred AND john on guitars together in a epic tbs lineup would be killer. My 2006 self is hoping the guys are seeing the these videos and realizing how much fred is still killing these songs and are privately making plans with fred now hahaha. Thanks for being awesome Fred!

[@muttweedz]

I know right? Eddie just left so there's a guitar vacancy... Nobody would have to leave to make room for Fred's contribution. Fred + John as the backup vocalists would be absolutely insanely awesome.
