What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost? (Guitar & Vocals Playthrough) - Fred Mascherino

[@nitsuj182]

I say all the former bandmates get together and form “taking back- taking back Sunday “

[@michaelpolisena9893]

Yessssssssss

[@Endersgamejp]

I agree yes. But how many former band members did tbs have anyway? I watched a vid the other day that said there has been SOOO many that they made "i used to be in taking back sunday" t-shirts. Lol Cool, but for me, fred and the lead singer has always been the face of tbs. And i would love a real acoustic version of this sound.

[@JuanCarlos06]

I'd be sad if the 20 year anniversary shows (if there are any) for Louder Now are not with Fred

[@nitsuj182]

@@Endersgamejp that was when fazzi joined ! I always wanted to get that shirt ! 😂

2:30 Holy shit. Using the mic stand as a slide!!?? How have I never thought of this!! Rock and freaking roll, my man!

[@chrisrizzo6517]

my reaction as well... didn't see it comin. lol

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

There’s some kid out there that calls this dude “Uncle Fred” (biologically or not) and he is the coolest Uncle ever.

[@AshTailor]

I can’t believe you’ve done all these play throughs. It’s like my entire teenage years coming back full force. I’m so glad I can see you play these. Guitar tabs be gone!

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much for being here! 😊

[@tylerzang134]

Fred comes off as a dude that I just want to be friends with and jam with. Generally nice dude.

[@schizojit]

So true I've been watching his videos lately he's so underrated

[@Jacob-df5hr]

This song has one of my favourite bridges I've heard. So many songs the bridge feels likes it's there just because it's supposed to be there, flip to the relative minor and burn 30s, this song it really changes the texture of the song, it's really aggressive and then just sublimates into this nice, airy reprieve. The drums in particular are really strong.

[@TheColorFred]

I really appreciate that. This song went through a lot of changes before we got it right. And I agree about the drums. Thanks

[@thecopycatter]

I wish I could like this 10,000,000 times

[@TheColorFred]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@isaacsiojo870]

First TBS track that got me into the band at 16.That opening riff still gets me at 28. Great stuff, Fred 🔥

[@Ancient_West]

The 2 records you were on will always be my favorite 2 records from TBS. I have so many great memories that involve those songs.

[@therealme2879]

The bridge of this song is absolutely beautiful. When I listen to the guitars I’d swear I can feel what Fred was feeling when he wrote that part. It’s also the reason I love my delay pedal so much.

[@reysanchez9186]

I’m so excited for this Fred! When are we gonna see One-Eighty!

[@antonionsfw]

i know its pretty selfish to ask for another one right after one was posted but yeahhhh:((((( when are we gonna see it???!!!

[@dannysamanthaanticks2887]

The people have spoken fred lol

[@barrydavidsonpicpp3330]

One eighty by summer is my fav!

[@JustinTinchaa]

Please!!!!!

[@dewwizzle]

I'm also here for the 180 By Summer request. That song is PEAK TBS.

[@arls9430]

Oh yeah!!! I'm singing to the top of my lungs.

[@thechrishau]

Dude you have no idea how excited I was that you posted this! I’ve been deep diving on how to learn how to play this song from front to back and this gave so much clarity!

[@angryhands9564]

Just when I think you couldn’t possibly post something better, you go and do this...

[@JohnnyBoombatz1119]

Hell yeah! When I first listened to Louder Now I knew it was going to be a banger after this was the opener!

[@jKriest]

you can see the happiness and the stage vibe when he plays this song.

[@Pandamonium626]

Fred, you are an absolute treasure

[@alwaysforget911]

my cars engine blew up this morning, but opening youtube and seeing this made my day much better.

[@chrisrizzo6517]

sorry to hear about your car brotha. wishing you better days ahead!

@@chrisrizzo6517 thanks man. Its all good tho, luckily i have the funds to take care of it this time

[@Arvintures28]

That bridge part though. The feels.

[@coasterino]

Man if I was TBS CEO and I watch this video I'd drop everything I'm doing to get Fred back in the band damnit.

[@LetsTalkAboutMathRock]

One of my favorites from Louder Now! Loved the performance. Thanks, Fred.

[@minimikee]

Took a break from work for this. Worth it! 🤟🔥

[@sydneynoname413]

And that Gold Top Les Paul. Good to see you again my old friend

[@Robert-nk8wy]

Thank you

[@korgy321]

Randomly googled Fred to see what he has been up to and this was uploaded yesterday! Fred years of TBS was the seriously the best.

[@juliussaidro9060]

I enjoyed watching this showmanship during the louder now era

[@FortisIdeas]

Fred, you with TBS was the golden era of the band. And it will always be my favorite. Thank you!

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks for still listening ✌️🤘🤘

[@FortisIdeas]

@@TheColorFred you are amazing Fred and please keep making music! I'm glad I checked in to see your throwback to Louder Now.

[@xDCRx]

The first time I listened to this song I felt something huge. That album was going to be on repeat for a long time. The interlude is heavenly, love that part.

[@THE_BASED_GOD]

Jesus Fred. You blow away with these performances. It honestly sounds like you never skipped a beat, perfect.

[@Svoboda1234]

I was watching this thinking, damn, this guy could actually be in TBS. 😂 it’s great man. TBS was the soundtrack to my teens and twenties. Met a girl in college who loved the band too and married her.

[@ChuckLopez]

YES.

[@EricShreds]

YESSS can't get enough of these, See Louder Now from the source!

[@kurt1555]

Guitar madness @ 2:31, that was dope

[@kurt1555]

Check out Too Real by Fontaines DC (awesome Irish band) they use a similar trick I think

[@RoundsyGames]

No one rocks this song like you Fred! Appreciate your content, man. All the best.

[@malinpritchard5303]

ugh the nostalgia

[@tommyarcher5292]

I have wrote songs im super proud of but nothing of this caliber. You are truly an artist. 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

[@weses2]

I love that huge low C# in between the brighter parts of the song. Awesome performance and riffs Fred

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks so much!

[@ibuiltthesky]

This is the perfect start to the day... Every day !! Thanks Fred

[@TheColorFred]

Glad to have you here! Hope you have a great day!

[@silvermetaldrone]

Definitely my favorite Taking Back Sunday song!!! I used to run across town 2 and a half miles and back to LouderNow, and anytime I was hitting a slump, I would just skip to this one

[@xoutofstep]

all i hope for is another TBS record w fred involved in the song writing. much love fred

[@jordanberger9161]

Thanks for taking the time to do these playthroughs. Absolutely love them.

[@punkstyria3153]

he’s still got it baby

[@HellAtlantic]

I’ve never heard any TBS songs that don’t have Fred on them. For me he’s the only era that matters. Killer guitarist and vocalist.

[@jbshaver829]

This is my favorite TBS song of all time. Been a fan since 02. Always loved your records with the band the most

[@TheColorFred]

That means a lot! Thank you

[@EdAtlasTV]

FUCK YEAH FRED!! Love seeing these man. Such nostalgia

[@cashlayton1313]

You’ve still got it man, you played this note for note and seeing how happy you looked during it was just so awesome! Not to throw shade on the guys because I still love the band but the era of the band with you was hands down my favorite. You’ve inspired me and my own songwriting in more ways than I can put into words, thank you so much for all awesome content!

[@bajoseph67]

Really loved the tbs with fred era.

[@causeofcalamity8882]

cant wait to see this one :D classic song :D

[@CodyAlushin]

A fantastic composition.

[@matthiasman]

The guitar tone on Louder Now is so instantly recognisable, and completely unique. I’d love a tutorial video on recreating it, with all the gear and effects used some time. Love you Fred! ❤️

[@thurs-b5n]

This is going to be great, I hope you keep in the part in the end where Liar begins.

[@KyleBevis-u7j]

Man this gave me chills. So fkin good to hear it from the man himself! Still sounds as amazing as it ever did. One of my faves. Thanks Fred - Keep rocking!

[@TheColorFred]

Thanks for being here ❤️

[@greenscreamstudios5581]

Man, this reminds me of when I worked in a warehouse, just loading and offloading trucks all day. I used to have TBS albums on repeat, really helped me get through the day. Thanks Fred!

[@MotionCoMMotion]

as a kid i remember the first time i heard this opening riff for louder now which was my first TBS album man, you are the reason i picked up a guitar. thank you, Fred. youre also the reason i tried to sing backing vox, tried, still cant though haha

[@TheColorFred]

Haha, well, that means a lot and I hope you’re still playing. Singing was always hard for me, but I just kept trying.

[@Dapjr831]

Killing it again. Thank you so much. 152.

You are incredibly talented and you inspire me so much, Fred!!!!

[@antonionsfw]

best riff of ALL time

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lexijones8414]

Amazing. The band is not the same without you in it. Period. I mean it’s just the reality. Your vocals are superior to the others, and mesh the best with Adam. You and Adam sound best together. I think most people agree.

[@davidsiegel4494]

This makes me so happy. Thank you Fred!

[@Pistacho123Lol]

This is the first song i heard from TBS, thanks to the Transformers movie in 2007. AMAZING FRED

Such a pleasure to watch you play and rock out Fred! You’re awesome!

[@edcasey52]

Thank you again for posting a gem Fred. Such a big part of my 20s.

[@PacoRobbins]

I don't think words can accurately express my excitement. A friend of mine and myself used to play Louder Now any time we hung out. He's the one that got me into TBS as much as I am. Hands down one of my top 5 albums and arguably my favorite track from the album. Thanks for doing this one Fred!!

[@MrSaokid4463]

That was Fucking Bad Ass, Fred!! Holy Shit!! One of my favorite TBS songs! Far Out, Man! haha

[@colbythecolby]

TBS bring back Fred!

[@samuelboome3584]

Fred man I’ve never commented on a KZbin vid before. But just wanted to say you guys (TBS) were my favourite band growing up, and you and Rubano brought such musicianship to the band. The solo at the end of Miami being a particular highlight that I never managed to learn haha. I didn’t manage to see you guys when you were still in the band but I saw them in the New Again era and you were sorely missed. Louder Now and WYWTB are by far TBS’s best albums (maybe TAYF is close!). Those records are a big part of the reason I started playing guitar back when I was 15/16. The Color Fred’s stuff is great too haha! Much love dude.

[@nicklane6473]

Man,I was lucky enough to see them once during that time. I've seen every line up since TAYF. Like em' all but that lineup with Fred was my personal favorite,too. No offense to the rest of those dudes. Just seen them in September,2019 in StL.

[@samuelboome3584]

@@nicklane6473 super lucky bro. Yeah no hate to John and Shaun and even Fazzi but Fred and Rubano just elevated them. I read a comment somewhere a while back saying that now Eddie’s no longer in the band (which is also a damn shame) they should bring Fred back on lead guitar and put John on rhythm instead. I know it would never happen but it would be dope haha. Fred is in a different league to John as a guitarist

[@IceBreakBottle]

That's one of the best intros ever written in my opinion.. That massive bass drop Mark does on the drums is so awesome too. it hit so different live. Love it dude!

[@TheColorFred]

Yes, playing this live is an all-time high for me!
