This is the most perfectly messy performance I’ve ever seen. These guys have been basically my favourite band for over a decade and the imperfections are what make their sound so unique

[@EctInc]

I knew this was good shit back then, but rediscovering it now, it's even better than I remember.

[@guitaoist]

ditto even 10 years after this comment was posted

[@VashD15]

4:44 the look Thomas gave that kid is priceless

[@TheseYeahThese]

[@Syncpowah]

[@jeffminor4235]

[@casperriley9873]

[@lightsZeroKaos]

[@RanDieBam]

[@yusa4467]

[@thomasdonaldson3523]

[@GodsNode]

[@AdamJamesPhotography]

This is the best TFoT video on KZbin! Period. Why was this not uploaded 7 years ago?!

[@user-yf2lk5gi7q]

His video has been around forever. I remember watching it in 2007

[@AzusaBl00m]

Probably my favorite performance of all time

[@elephantricity]

one of the classic old school tfot sets we have on video.

[@elephantricity]

4:45 lol

[@guitaoist]

4:44 Thomas the Engine went full throttle

[@seancoolie01]

hell yeah

[@datbenjaminbuttons9563]

Bro was a walking relay pedal fucking phenomenal !

[@binglebonglebellybarrelbla9071]

Does anyone know what the green and purple pieces of gear are at 3:49 that he reaches for when he plays the knobs and pitch shifts? It sounds like a standalone oscillator having it's frequency modulated.

[@noesunyoutuber7680]

The green one is a Line 6 DL4 Delay/Looper, while the purple one is an FM4 Filter Modeler. It looks like he cranked up the feedback control on the FM4 to get some self-oscillation and then used the DL4 to loop it and make it stuttery.

[@ooooters]

Btw, AWESOME QUALITY. (Y)

[@ryanificationable]

ya

[@ooooters]

Hey man, when was this recorded exactly?

Imagine being the one person who disliked this.

[@xannie7511]

honestly !!

[@nicobike]

the dude who got pushed over by Thomas for sure lol

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

This band has one of the worst vocalists out there. What a shame...the music itself is awesome but this atonal, wrong, out of any possible tune screeching is unbearable. And I don't mean the screams but the "clean" vocals.

[@androocee]

What type of vocals would you consider to be ideal for this type of music? I've grown so used to his voice that I couldn't think of this or any of their songs any other way, but I'd love to hear a fresh take on it.

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

Clean vocals would easily fit but Thomas' cleans can only be called bad. I'm not saying that because I don't like it but because his technique is simply horrible. He has no pressure, no tuning, no precision. I believe that's the case because he has to focus on his guitar play so much because it has such a high aspiration level that his vocals are suffering under it.

[@androocee]

Ah I gotcha dude. All of that is very apparent in all of the videos from around this time, but I think his voice was pretty good from like 2008-2010 compared to how it was before. However his screams suffered around that time too so it always seemed like something was off I guess.

[@mellowcorpsep6665]

i almost fell for the bait

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

What bait?
