Man, you are my idol guitarrist. Most people claim slash, Eric clapton, Buckethead. But man.. the nuance of your sound, the licks, the passion you clearly put into all your musical endeavors you are unique. Im so glad i found this channel, will be following closely and cant wait to see you live on twitch :D, Hope to get an autograph from you someday

[@TheReverOcelot]

Yeah, he's one of my guitar heroes too.

[@snougy8489]

Yea he's great he's also my Idol

[@bellatrix7564]

I'm actually surprised that only few people knew thomas or the fall of troy in whole, the amount of talent this guy have is like god tier! How can you play technical riffs like that while screaming, head banging hell even playing on one hand like wtf! Thomas is just on a whole other level.

[@AlexCoombes123]

I would say Tom’s definitely top 5 in the modern generation of guitarist.. for the complexity of his riffs whilst singing over it.. he’s very talented and doesn’t get as much recognition as he deserves. Similar in style to Buckethead who I’d say is a more complete guitarist but Tom does vocals too.. love both of them! Learning from Tom and Buckethead has opened my eyes to what can be done on the guitar, real pioneers of their craft! Would be great to see them both perform in the UK!

[@MarcusMcGrizz]

Favorite guitarist of all time. I started playing guitar because of you. Extremely talented musician.

[@cvstar51]

Hey Tom, I just want to say that your music and guitar style influenced me to start playing and really changed my life. In 7th grade I would listen to doppelgänger every single day on the bus to school. Every single day. Much of the music I started listening to and writing was all inspired by your band.Thank you for your music and for being totally awesome.

[@theArchive1O]

Me tooo! Those cold ass early 6am morning with ATDI and FOT

[@snougy8489]

I just got into the band about 4 months ago, and I love them. I listen to the Doppelganger and Manipulator albums while I'm in class every single day. I'm currently in 7the grade and I actualy bought the vinyl record for doppelganger, was expensive but really exited to play it.

[@Yixdy]

@@snougy8489 damn man, I've been looking to get my hands on the doppelganger vinyl (and phantom on the horizon) for years and years, I've got the self titled, OK (#1,) and in the unlikely event on vinyl. Anyways, lucky you bro! Glad the youths are getting into good ol fall of troy, funny enough I was also in the 7th grade when I got into them lol, I'm 23 now so not that old, but still I'm just glad that the appreciation of the fall of troy has been able to span multiple generations at this point. Hope you enjoy that record man!

[@snougy8489]

@@Yixdy Yea bro I actually got the record a few weeks ago, was expensive but sure was worth it. I think my favorite track to listen was either Whacko Jacko Steals The Elephant Man's Bones, or Laces out Dan!

[@snougy8489]

@@Yixdy I've also just ordered the Manipulator CD really exited to get it

Musical pieces like mouths like sidewinder missiles, f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x, nostalgic mannerisms, they're actual masterpieces

[@ThePaladin956]

One of my favorite bands of all time I went to go see your reunions show in Austin at red seven honestly some of the three best days of my life hearing y'all play music hope to see the documentary one day

[@zachaffholter]

Went to that reunion show in a wheelchair and crutches with a broken hip. One of the best times of my entire fucking life

[@kylepwnt]

I love u Tom. Ur music changed my life from top to bottom. U have inspired me to play electric guitar, which is quite literally my strongest passion now. Your playing is incredible. I have never heard someone so in-tune with their connection to a musical instrument. Bless your soul, Imma always keep listening to whatever you crank out. You inspire me to push my own boundaries as an artist, and to never stop innovating. Without TFOT, I would have nothing. THANK YOU!

[@cameronbarry1996]

I've already mentioned this, not sure if you read the comments, but you should try to boost the audio levels of your KZbin uploads. I have to turn my volume way up to hear you. Glad to see you keeping us up to date more since covid

[@-solidsnake-]

You guys are great, saw you in Tampa last night.

[@alexsmelly2263]

Yo this is fucking sick dude im so hyped that your doing this honestly this made my fucking year very interesting

[@HeyClutch]

We need this documentary! Someone breathe some life back into it.

[@CougarMagnum29]

Documentary!

[@syahiirdaniel7446]

hey Tom, just wanna say that FALL OF TROY is the greatest band ever. that has never changed since all my highschool years up till now(25 y/o) and still counting. i still regard you guys are the best band ever and u are certainly my favourite guitarist ever!

[@noone182]

Thank u for so good albums! but do u have ghostship EP with II and III records? or early stuff like 05 Reasurance Rests in the Sea I remember a bit faster version of it but i can't find :D

[@ibanezrg7421]

Please tell me that the documentary is still coming! Hope you're doing well man. Thanks for the years of inspiration and great music/shows!

SELL THE DOC TO NETFLIX MAN!

[@FaintBastard]

bump

[@voteZDLR]

The problem is... the Fall of Troy was already kind of an obscure band even when they were at their peak. Then they take their personal sabbatical and I'd say most of their former fans forgot about them in the meantime. Netflix isn't going to be willing to buy it, nobody knows who the subjects are at least not enough to justify even a purchase of ... I don't know, not a lot of money.

[@Yixdy]

@@voteZDLR honestly, with some of the shit on netflix, I honestly think they'd be willing to buy it, if not at least put it out on their service... If it was edited down and most importantly edited WELL. But currently it sounds like it's just a shit load of footage, and I highly doubt that netflix will buy it AND edit it down into a logically formed documentary

[@voteZDLR]

@@Yixdy They're not a big enough band to warrant a documentary being made and put out on Netflix. Most people who watch Netflix probably have no idea who The Fall of Troy are/were or even care. I would watch it, but it's not like sanctioning a movie to be made about Motley Crue or something (which Netflix DID do).

[@mattstojevich9646]

Thomas, is there any news on the doc? If not no worries. Us as fans understand, I was just curious. Stay rockin!

[@mattgardella9071]

Would love to hear some songs off of OK. May sound like blasphemy but might be my favorite album. Savior also might be my favorite FOT song. But regardless thank you for posting these!

[@pablorocha4601]

Man I love you dude, but I can tell you're on that shit, and that saddens me, I wish you the best and I thank you for your amazing music brother

[@denueve_]

you´re the best

[@joebuczkowski8605]

I don't know you personally, but I play drums and would like to possibly collaborate and compose another symphony with the Fall of Troy.

[@ThatTabsGuy]

Out of topic... If you were a pro wrestler, what would be your entrance song? Mine would be Personal Jesus or The Adventures of Allan Gordon :D

[@phant0mdummy]

Dude. You should try and collab with Daughters. That would be epic to hear you doing some fucked up riffs while Lex croons over them.

I'm sorry for lying to you, Tom, when I first met you. I did have a car, and I could have taken you to that music store in Ft. Lauderdale. I was young and stupid, and I just didn't know who you were and as soon as I saw you guys preform, I immediately regretted it. - VF aka Homestead.
