[@Stix_Zidinia]

Most underrated modern guitar player of the last few generations

[@lynxcore]

he and omar rodríguez-lópez are like, the best guitarists living right now

[@Slappaccino]

​@@lynxcoreRobert Fripp is still alive.

[@HHFan420]

I don't know if I would have become a musician without listening to this dude's stuff.

[@tylerquillin1335]

Reading “House of Leaves” now and lost my shit when I got to “the Hol[ ]y tape”. Definitely gives the song an even deeper feel. Props to you man, keep shedding.

[@guitaoist]

Whoa didnt know thats where the title came from, never finished House of Leaves, def will try again. Funny theyre both Pisces and have crazy emotional depth

[@adio222]

Crazy. I remember listening to The Fall of Troy in 4th grade... I'm 22 now lol

[@andresantiago8344]

Real af

[@jonathanacevedo4335]

adio222 i got into FoT at 22 and I feel like i’ve listened my whole life. REALLY got into them now. Learning all the history.

[@bl1ndtraps786]

im in 7th right now the cycle continues

[@michaelc2334]

Here's the opposite of that. I first heard the Fall of Troy when I was 25. Now I'm 41.

[@ilackedtheheart]

I discovered this band back in high school, right when they released their 2nd album. I can't believe how much time has passed.

[@pandablam2968]

Doppelganger, in my opinion, is the best put-together rock album from start to finish of all time. The Fall of Troy will be playing in my head as i fade away from this existence. Specifically, Wacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Mans Bones.

[@moonsets-on_you]

1:40 i love this part so much. that melody sounds so acoustic. its obviously electric but the slower pace and chosen chords of that bit is something that wouldnt sound out of place on an acoustic guitar

[@falconman407]

thomas erak and zach hill are friends in another dimension and i want that friendship

[@bijikedelai]

fuck i wish one day they ever write music together

[@falconman407]

bijikedelai ^^^^^^^^^^

[@bogmanhimself4656]

the fall of troy and death grips were my 2 most listened to bands in high school

[@n0stalgiic659]

my god you genius

[@indiegrab360]

The first half is like aight... Maybe I could come up with something like this... The second half starts and its like 😂😂 ya gotta be kidding... Genius compositional chops along with all the riffs and variety.

[@gognoggler7326]

...........ba ba ba bum do-do-do-do-do bum bum bum bum da na na na, ba ba ba bum do-do-do-do-do bum bum bum bum da na na na

[@barnacleboy7453]

BAHAHAHA YESSS

[@flawl3sslogic]

Such a masterful piece of chaotic music. You were/are one of the visionaries for modern music :)

[@divinasi0n]

True. I wish a broader audience could appreciate tracks like this for what they are, instead of brushing them off as merely directionless, unstructured and random... although, when I first heard this song when I was a kid, I probably thought something similar.

[@bearvsshaan]

damn dude, was practicing from the sheetrocks tabbook, took 2 weeks to get it right in quarantine, and now u post this and ur like "nah dawg had some tricks up my sleeve!". cant blame you. i'm 31 and you've been my favorite musician since i was 14 so i should expect some wrinkles when trying to learn your songs

[@ChaboyAnthony]

it's a shame how incorrect some parts are in those tabs

[@dannyxmendoza]

I was 14 too when I learned about them and have been my favorite since .I'm 26 now

[@cvstar51]

Chaboy Anthony DUDE! I’ve been thinking the same exact thing since I got it. Kinda feel ripped off paying $50 for it when probably over 30% of the tabs are incorrect

[@GNRGNRGNRGNRGNR]

@@cvstar51 it's so annoying because there were videos of Thom playing songs on KZbin years before the tab books came out and the tabs on sheet happens don't even line up with those videos.

[@user-yf2lk5gi7q]

@@ChaboyAnthony ayyye fancy seein you here.

[@RurouniTenShins]

What a God. Saw them 3x circa 2008. Some of the best shows of my life.

[@TheBeefPudding]

thanks man for uploading this. these songs were my highschool years...

[@eldiablo3794]

This song brings back very good memories. Fall Of Troy Self Titled, Doppelganger and Relationship of Command by At the Drive In were like the soundtracks to my high school years lol.

[@happyliver462]

Thomas reminds me of Les Paul. It's a shame he's dead he would have loved to see this wonderful guitar playing.

[@kingZerubbabel]

The shreddiest of shreddersons.

[@tylor2706]

Master at work. How t f is it so..correct haha

[@tylor2706]

Music wise written man it's modern day Beethoven and jazz but I'm just a drummer so I don't know the composers ha

[@TheChariot99]

These words coincide!

[@taushifh.9065]

Being a fan since the very beginning, I'm still mind blown at the genius of this.

[@joaquinsanchez5152]

this playthrough is so intense man...

[@xXKrissyKaosXx]

These are giving me so much life, especially with you revisiting these throwbacks. (Still blowing my mind that this album is a "throwback" now.) As always, thanks for sharing your passion and talent. \m/

[@thomasmullen4032]

It’s crazy because the official fall of Troy doppleganger tab book has it tabbed out different from the way he plays it 😢

[@thiagompi]

Oh boy! One of my fav, cheers from Brazil, love ya!

[@cvstar51]

Thomas, this is fucking beautiful. Now I can finally learn to play some of these parts right.

[@jalawto]

riff at 2:32 is a fav of mine from FOT

[@love-fii]

So fricken good!

[@eshrug]

so sick man

[@adamnixon2886]

Wow Just Wow

[@Awstihn]

Isn't Tom suppose to play A Whole New World after this?

[@kylenoll123]

Lovee

[@kurippy]

What kind of chain is that?

[@lovehyde7158]

I'm surprised there's no taps

[@AswangRealStories]

when Elon Musk took a different path and went on playing music this is how it'll sound like :D

[@Lame-Over]

so ahead of it's time no one has caught up yet
