The Fall Of Troy "Sledgehammer" (Live at ArcTangent)

[@ianmuessig]

If it weren't for these crazy kids from Washington state I'd be 1/2 the man and 1/4 the musician I am today. Love this band with every ounce of my being

[@Callibretto]

crazy chops

[@FlyingPirahna1]

Seriously one of the most underrated drummers ever.

[@StevenM801]

as much i love the speed of the drummer, the technicality of thomas's guitar and singing screaming. I noticed the smoothness of Tim's bass playing to compliment the chaos Fall of troy has. I love these dudes so much

[@thiswebsiterockssocool8839]

you should check out the drum cam footage for "we better learn to hotwire a uterus," uploaded by drummers anonymous. andrew forsman is one of the most underrated drummers, love thomas but damn andrew deserves more credit lol

lol he plays guitar better with one hand than me with two

[@giuartista2911]

😆😆😆

[@drpibisback7680]

I swear he does all those one-handed guitar poses to show off. As if the fact he can play these absurd songs and sing at the same time isn't impressive enough.

@@davidricart1395I got to meet him after one of their shows in San Antonio recently…he was very quiet and reserved but overall nice dude. He signed my vinyl and signed a bunch of peoples merch that came up to him. I think he might just be a little introverted

Tim Ward is playing a Gibson Grabber II bass. It is a reissue of the 1970’s Gibson Grabber. It came out in 2009. It has a sliding metal pickup instead of a sliding plastic pickup, which is what the 70’s Grabbers had.

[@morganfeywild5977]

the fucking scream tim does at 3:21 is fucking evil dude

I can't spend a day without watching this once.

Wish we had the whole set.

[@Fematoraa]

Every time I wathc video's on these guys, I can't get enough, I did a entire discog sweep, and i'm still craving more, Hell, Thomas Erak is why I started playing guitar, and the catchy ass riff's he makes are genius

[@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788]

I don’t know or listen to a wide variety of “math” rock bands but Thomas has always seemed so original and is a maestro at the guitar. I’m currently going back and listening to everything I can.

[@timekeep3r]

Nobody to this DAY... does it like TFOT.

[@MathMantics]

As someone who has been to that festival, it had probably pissed it down with rain and everything you're walking on is slushy mud. It was difficult trying to walk around the site let alone make a pit. Last time time I was there it was a 20 metre puddle in the middle of the main tent 😂

[@Benguin]

The single best gig i've ever seen

[@baileywagstaff9809]

To be honest, when a band plays such technical music it is very hard to get it right everytime, yes some of this was pretty sloppy but you cant complain, for all you know they've been up there for an hour lol

[@andrewgarcia3136]

It's literally impossible to play that many notes in one bar and not make mistakes. Safe to say these guys aren't a 1 take and done band in the studio, but no one playing music this difficult is. 1 takes are usually songs like Louie Louie lol

[@chadherring2790]

The best part about this band, and the best part about seeing them live is that the mix of hardcore punk and with more technical sections is that it’s actually fucking daring. It feels just on the being of being out of control or falling apart so it’s very exciting.

[@Godoflightning5]

I know he’s on the latest record, but I’m not sure he’s still with the band (part or full time). He hasn’t been able to tour with them since 2016 unless they played locally. Extensive touring gets stressful for Tim… I wish he toured more with them, great backup screamer, great stage presence, and amazing bassist.

[@dillingerplan5663]

hahahaha that ending

[@DavidTG7]

Is this jazz metal?

[@whobutwbmarci5200]

I mean, pretty much, it's mathcore, which is based on math rock. It's commonly considered the free-jazz equivalent of rock due to its odd time signatures and dissonant chords.

[@MetalNick]

Post-core ...lol don't mind me 🤘

[@reese8050]

Post-hardcore I believe

[@cha4kn]

Will always be one of my favourite bands and saw this one live but holy shit Toms screams sound like shit nowadays

[@blake1187]

+cha4kn Dood he just can't scream anymore :( It really makes me sad because his screams used to be KILLER.

[@cha4kn]

Blake Davis yup. Will be interesting to hear what he does on the new record though. I cross my fingers for some autotune!

[@blake1187]

cha4kn HAH! Yeah, I mean his voice sounds fine on JLV's latest release, so hopefully a little studio wizardry will be enough. I would do anything for them to bring on a full time vocalist though. I know it wouldn't be classic TFOT, but nostalgia can only get an artist so far.

[@drewmiller8784]

+cha4kn I think he sounds fine here. His voice changed, you can't do much about that. He's not 20 anymore but he's still doing a good job

[@blake1187]

***** Yeah, I mean not smoking for 10 years probably wouldn't hurt hahaha

[@SPCLSPRHERO]

Is it me or Thomas vocals are a lot more cleaner than they've ever been...

[@drpibisback7680]

Screaming seems like it would be easier than singing, but it's really not.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Vocals sound good in this one, but it also sounds like the bass speaker is torn.

[@collie1]

I’m late but it sounds like he’s using a fuzz pedal or an overdrive

[@callum6224]

@@collie1 no, it sounds blown out which is very different from using a fuzz or overdrive pedal. There’s a specific annoying muffled tone that’s a similar frequency throughout

[@timmytimothy7033]

[@ericsmith116]

This is my only bitch about TFOT. Who ever is setting up their mics sucks. I need to hear what you're singing. Don't get me wrong I love the guitars and how dirty you guys are but I also like the vocals on their CDs...just not live.

[@jayt7178]

Dude, it's a rock concert. You can't usually understand the vocals. In person at least.
