Thomas Erak of The Fall Of Troy Jam '05

I did not film this, I just took out a clip to host on here

[@JayJay-fm8zz]

I still come back and watch this lol 2019!!!

[@EVPisms]

vocals:Thomas Erak Guitar: Thomas Erak Guitar: Luke Hoskin Drums: Jon Karel Bass: Arif Mirabdolbagh

[@ParabolH]

this is fucking amazing. beautiful sounding. i wish thomas would just do his own solo guitar album. this guy could easily tell a story with his guitar and it would be jaw dropping

[@halo3fanSR08]

The Number 12 Looks Like You, Great band, great drummer.

[@skyrazak]

i totally agree with you man. from the loops and shiet wtf mindblwing stuff here. thanks for pointing out my man

[@josephkiim]

this portion of the jam session is the best part. the other parts are okay.

[@IbanezCookies]

The actual guitar head he is playing is called an HD147 by Line 6. Look it up

[@bigace511]

you gotta love andrew on the keys.

[@chukka667]

this tune should be called collateral damage.

[@bigace511]

@kylepianoman A piano is a percussion instrument because the strings in the piano are struck, not strummed or played with a bow. Without the string there would be no sound. Without the hammer the stings would not be struck.

[@Romosho]

Holy shit he is the man

[@HeavyMellowPro]

@musmusmusmus1 yes it is andrew and tre from at all cost. andrew use to be my substitute teacher in high school lol

[@empasmmetal]

Jon is my favorite drummer EVER. Watching what he went through with HORSE even made him seem like a better drummer too.

[@Hunter909]

But you can see how he enjoys the stuff he's doing , so everything's alright and that's what it's about I think :)

[@laxstarmp]

incredible. this guy's way too talented with a guitar.

[@elephantricity]

He was part of drum core in highschool so that means who knows some theory, and knows how to read notes on a basic level.

[@mcamarena]

true dat

[@juanjijon]

:( rip TFOT

[@12345Carlos]

agreeeed.

[@73RULAS]

@JustinCaparas Yeahs, franks screams were ROARS!!! D:

[@EndlessFusionist]

Is it just me or would this be the best supergroup ever: Guitar: Tom Erak/ Tom Morello Bass: Les Claypool Vocals: Serj Tankian/ Chris Cornell Drums:???? I DONT KNOW i dont follow drummers. Someone post a reply telling what you think!

[@IbanezCookies]

His head is the HD147 by line 6

[@JasonLorelei]

Thomas is the shit.

[@theScienceOfFear2012]

this sounds so omar rodriguez lopez !! way before omar and frusciantes record came out

[@yeahyeahyeahz2345]

thomas erak is my favorite guitarist. However ive never actually seen him sweep like rusty cooley or herman li. Mabye im wrong, but whatevs, hes still the best.

[@ELM3RBEATLES]

sick and weird pedal board!!! ive never seen tht bfore

[@SashaSathyaxxx]

@Samistheman80 definetely!

[@mrbungs]

@Samistheman80 YES MAN! That's what I've been saying for years.

[@krissymf]

Ben Johnston on drums!

[@elephantricity]

@Greencheese333 how do you figure? More tfot songs are in standard form than anything. Only ones in drop D are Sledgehammer and yo chocola that I can think of.

[@kakooffaf]

that 3 people are lady gaga dancers!

[@iancrespo_]

Carlos Caballero wait really? haha

[@zwiguy9494]

what is that pedalboard he's using? i want it.

[@mowgliinthenite]

vocals: jonny craig/haley williams guitar: dave knudson/Thomas Erak bass: Shiraz Dada drums: Zach Hill keyboard/misc:daft punk this band would take over everything, you cant touch this lineup, never.

[@jetershomie]

agreed.

[@yeahyeahyeahz2345]

yeah true, my bad ppl, i wont compare him to herman anymore

[@shadowoble101]

I think put anthony green and erak on vocals, dave knudson and erak on guitar, I dont know about bass and drums though.

[@futtahsikk]

hey whats that pedal to the left of the screen with the keyboard like thing at the bottom?

[@SMZMUSIC1]

@beefcake8888 that may be the best youtube comment ever.

[@12345Carlos]

yeah same. i dont know where you got this from.

[@bigace511]

@Twinsnake1 no... that is andrew..

[@brody074]

AH-NOLD!

[@TheseYeahThese]

I lvoe that shit at 1:36. And if anybody wants the WHOLE video just message me

[@JsRf13]

@okamasphere I believe it's Em

[@Greencheese333]

@okamasphere im pretty sure he mostly plays in drop d.

[@booboospike]

me too!!!!

[@TheseYeahThese]

I have the full jam on my channel in three vids. It's also has other funny shit too.

[@braden21]

he likes playing drums better than guitar and he actually just played drums for his side-projects new cd

[@jacob612]

That still doesn't mean he couldn't have been taught by his dad...

[@dinoc616]

drummer- alex rodriguez of saosin, he's sick

[@davidrush85]

lol that blonde haired guy gets naked at the end of the whole video! haha

[@elephantricity]

Can anybody tell me what key this in? OR what key thom manages to stay in most of the time..

[@pidrgu]

dude, what do all the letters and numbers mean? I mean, i have a wah wah pedal, but its not called 347HDTJ Wah wah why?

[@bigace511]

@Twinsnake1 why would some random start playing KEYBOARD/SYNTH. (which is a PERCUSSION instrument)

[@bigace511]

I know ive seen it.

[@bigace511]

@HessenKnight so your gonna tell me a piano isnt either? plus that is a piano anyway

[@mirrastyle4524]

thom enjoys unicorns.

[@JustinCaparas]

What I really want to know is why he stopped recording...

[@Finellers]

collateral damage

[@12345Carlos]

whered you find this jam.

[@moggieman10]

@kylepianoman wow.....

[@scottie2hottietfot]

@SeverTheSky89 its electronic....

[@TheseYeahThese]

i think hes using the line 6 POD

[@beowman]

@exsymphony being that act one, scene one is about sex, it makes sense haha

[@FluffyMuffina]

@EVPisms I don't know, I don't think Luke and Thomas would blend well as guitarists, they're both really amazing, but too different.

[@dylantheworm808]

@exsymphony even when i was all about this band, if I had the choice, I'm taking Erak off of vocal duty

[@Jason199X]

is that andrew on the keys?

[@bigace511]

yes it is. piano is a drum. =p

[@EyeMuhPieRut]

@SeverTheSky89 What are you saying?

[@curly430]

few scales and a delay pedal for the most of it......

[@bigace511]

I think i just shit my self...

[@FakeFlourescentSkies]

omar rodriguez lopez thomas erak eddie breckenridge thomas pridgen that would be the best band ever damn haha

[@onereallysillygoose]

well first off, herman li cant sweep for shitl. but he actually has like sweep-like stuff in parts of his songs, like the middle part of the dark trail.

[@futtahsikk]

@qarDZebra dood. prove that, pridgen is a monster. i dont no anything about forsman... u got any vids or anything?

[@arpegeo666]

danny carey

[@wonnie]

@exsymphony Frank Ene is an awesome bassist no doubt. He's got extreme skills, but I don't think he's the type for Fall Of Troy. I personally like Tim Ward much more.

[@kylepianoman]

@bigace511 how on earth could you even rationalize that a piano is a percussion instrument?

[@minimm12]

don't think he's by himself, it appears andrew is on the keys. could be wrong, can't get a good vizh on it

[@cdrmusicaz]

does no one know jon karel?

[@GreenDayEqulzGod]

crack kills.

[@EndlessFusionist]

eh. maybe so. itd still be interesting huh?

[@alex30yw]

that means omar and frusciantes sounds like this.. other way around buddy

[@TheseYeahThese]

i put up a 9 minute vid on my page.. ahhaha.. and twinsnake..isnt fucking hilarious when that guy is preach singing and runs naked!! hahahah!!

[@juangodfrid]

just change Travis Orbin for Zach Hill, there you have the best band ever

[@jmaddox28]

tom erak and les claypool would probably sound like crap together...their styles would clash and they both like to play lead

[@EndlessFusionist]

meh. i just put artists i know haha.

[@TemperatureIndicator]

are yew sure he cant sweep? coz his hair is long enough to sweep the ground...haha....im so lame, oh well. thomas erak = god ^_^ x

[@z0mgeomge]

thomas > arnold

[@johnnycakes2k]

collateral damage sucked...

[@mowgliinthenite]

but all time would be: vocals:jonny craig guitar:jimi hendrix bass: bootsy collins drums: dave grohl misc:kurt cobain to do whatever the fuck he wanted, with lennon looking down from heaven, and paul over for tea, suck it.

[@nlo13]

@exsymphony Erak is a great song writer and a good guitarist but take him off vocals, never been a strong point, screaming or clean.
