The story of how Troy and CHON first played together is pretty wild. Basically Thomas was the only member of the fall of Troy to make it to SXSW to perform so CHON filled in with no rehearsal. Thomas was visually skeptical when introduced the band, but as soon as they jumped into the first song he cracks a smile of relief.
lots and lots of practice. Geddy Lee said his method for learning to perform live is that he just sits down and plays the songs for a few hours, working on playing it right while focusing on other stuff (like just having a conversation with someone) and then learning the lyrics backwards and forwards. I don't know if Thomas Erak has a similar method, but that's just giving an idea of how he might learn the songs
Lots of practice and muscle memory. It will come naturally. Learned this song when I was like 17 or so and I guess I learned the lyrics first and then once you learn them perfect, you learning the riff is a little more easier
This is the closest this song will ever be to studio, There is the back up guitar, The Chorus chord progression played by Mario and the chord rhythm played by the other guy in the mosh part. I love it.
@@pinkerton9761 Hell yeah, 2.0 was a banger! But I guess I grew used to the original, and it's still my favorite due to nostalgia value. Damn straight, brother, good to see more DGD fans too!
I like how the guitarist in green is hardly moving with no visible sweat then they switch to the drummer and it looks like he was just pushed into a pool...
Lol. Yea it may seem that way when you primarily know him from Chon. He used to be in some metal band a few years ago and you could clearly see him head banging and moving quite a bit. I guess he changes his demeanor based on the music he's playing at the time
+Melty Milk Shake (Darry Outsider) it's the end of the set, he has to play guitar, the audio is shit, he was jumping around so he was out of breath. It's amazing he could sing at all.
+Bradybrunch I want Tim to sing more. His singing voice is so powerful. And it blends well with Thomas' sly cat snarly singing he does sometimes. Like on the nirvana cover they released.
So good. I really don't like CHON as much since he left. I know that's shitty to say, and it's totally irrational - but I feel like the live presence of the band took a huge dive when he left.
+Michael Quinonez chon started with both guitarist Erik and Mario and little brother Nathan drew actually came in a while later but before they had other bassist but overall I think drew had a big impact on the band since he did the vocals of ecco and can't wait which made chon complete you know but I've been following them since 06 they're all talented man
Arturo Monroy I get it, but I saw them post-Drew and it just wasn't the same. I'll always still see the band when they come around, but I stand by the fact that I feel that he added so much to their live shows. I still look forward to the future of CHON, though, and hope they continue to be as awesome as they are now.
Ran into Thomas Erak while he was touring with Chiodos on Warped Tour, and all I can say is what an incredibly humble and talented mf. The FIRST thing I asked about was The Fall Of Troy because they were on hiatus... after hearing him talk I'm confident he ALWAYS has TFoT fans in mind!
Think about being that 2nd guitar player and having to learn these parts. Jesus the pressure. Even just being a member of this band would be the most difficult thing I could ever imagine
Slow down, this is slipping through my mind This conversation has run out of time Honey, I know you know what I mean And that's the one thing that you soon will find I know that you really wanna go My mind is runnin' outta gas, just relax and recap, and relapse Tonight, my body's jumpin' and I Go through the motions, and I'm leaving on this journey Maybe someday, I'll come running home to you I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe (Come running home, come running home) her heart in my hands It's too bad, no regrets I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave (Come running home, come running home) this is my one chance To take back no regrets Let's go, I just wanna let you know This situation leaves me outta breath We'll drive till the love that's in your eyes Drops to the ground and unravels like a thread I know that you really wanna go I only think about her, must get to her, cannot lose her You know that I will not let this die Life support systems and my mind on Rewind, and rewind, and rewind! I don't wanna see the day my words cannot make it safe (Come running home, come running home) her heart in my hands It's too bad, no regrets I don't wanna see the day her tears are falling on my grave (Come running home, come running home) this is my one chance To take back no regrets I don't wanna see the day my words cannot make it safe Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets I don't wanna see the day her tears are falling on my grave This is my one chance (my one chance, my one chance)
Damn guys I’m just hearing about you all and you’ve broke up already? Lol...we’ll keep rocking my friends...thoroughly enjoying it. The break down on this song is madness and I love it. Beautiful leadish riffage during the chorus. Rock Solid stuff guys!
Dear Fall Of Troy,
Please Never ever ever break up again!
Sincerely all of you fans!
If tim can keep his shit together maybe they won't.
Tim? As far as understood it was Thomas fault.
dude i don't care what somebody says to you, you don't do what tim did. That's lame.
what did he do?
Kevin Franco got drunk and pissed at thomas and destroyed his bass and walked off stage for the rest of the show :(

That would be awesome to see, hope someone recorded it
It's gotta be a wild experience as an artist to come face-to-face with another band that knows your songs by heart.
awesome, love'em together, so great!
Yo, it was recorded, search Thomas Erak ft Chon, they even did a Nirvana cover 🤣
@@Jason22Douce ua-cam.com/video/R_w_Vr834-c/v-deo.html
Don't worry, it's also from Audiotree haha
"we are CHON Troy" lmfao that's beautiful
Could have gone with Fall of Chon. Missed opportunity IMO.
@@mind0killer well tbf we did get the fall of chon
@@theonlygannonyouknow8257 NAWWWWW BRO DID NOT JUST SAY THAT
How the hell do you play those riffs and sing at the same time?!?!?
Practice
*rap he's not singing that fast
lots and lots of practice.

other guy is Erick Hansel
Oh, hello, fellow DGD profile picture user!
Instant Gratification is my second favorite DGD album
@@BRNardy It's my top fav, 2.0 is my second! Good to see more DGD fans
@@pinkerton9761 Hell yeah, 2.0 was a banger! But I guess I grew used to the original, and it's still my favorite due to nostalgia value. Damn straight, brother, good to see more DGD fans too!
@@BRNardy ngl I've been wanting to cover their music a lot, but I got no one to do it with. So it's kinda a love hate thing seeing fans for me lmao.
I like how the guitarist in green is hardly moving with no visible sweat then they switch to the drummer and it looks like he was just pushed into a pool...
thats our boi mario for ya
he's mario fucking camarena
Trent Mangrum Mario just knows how to keep it chill
Drumming does tend to build up more sweat.
@@jamesbrap7665 Especially drumming THAT
This band encapsulated an entire decade of my life. Good beyond measure
beholdthestorm Same
Same
Inspired a lot of Emo/tech guitar wizards as well
I'm glad to have experienced the same childhood as you
I know. I teared up reading some of these comments lol
I can’t stop listening to that little riff he added at 1:23
I like to come back to this video every so often.
Yknow.
To pray.
Think its time for another visit
Come back!
I've always found it amazing Thomas can sing and play that riff
I can't even pat my head and rub my stomach at the same...
F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X+Chon guitar tuning=AWESOME
What is the Chon guitar tuning exactly?
@@x3-LSTR-512 they’re using e flat here, pretty sure it’s usually standard
3:12 the most Mario has ever moved at a live show
XDD
Lol. Yea it may seem that way when you primarily know him from Chon. He used to be in some metal band a few years ago and you could clearly see him head banging and moving quite a bit. I guess he changes his demeanor based on the music he's playing at the time
Have you seen him in CHON's first few shows? It's basically crab-core
jbulletc to each is own
So they hang out with Chon
I demand Animals as Troy. Or maybe The Fall of Leaders
I demand The Fall Escape Plan or The Dillinger of Troy.
+Carson Troeh FUCK YES
CHON escapes the fall of animals
+Carson Troeh Animals as ChonTroy
+Gonzales ChonTroy Escapes the Animals Volta
2:17 goosebumps
Blasting this in 2019
FoT, No12, Strawberry girls, sufferer, dead american all playing LA dec 12
2920 now
this is some school of rock shit
Guitar hero 3 was my school of rock
How the fuck do you sing and play that at the same time.
I was thinking the same
Lots of practice
Singing like shit
+Melty Milk Shake (Darry Outsider) it's the end of the set, he has to play guitar, the audio is shit, he was jumping around so he was out of breath. It's amazing he could sing at all.
the mad ginger If that was the end of the show, it's OK, but... Even the chorus guy didn't sing good. Have you ever listened to Karnivool? 🌚
The Chon of Troy
3:31
my heart stopped for a moment
and then then the music came back on
my heart sank
my god that break and restart was
amazing
I love it, after all these years the drummer still rocks a zill bell upside down one his ride. Remember every late 2000's drummer had one?
Will Reynolds Mr Marco Minnemann uses em for like every cymbal hahaha he's such a beast, check out The Aristocrats if you haven't already!
I do remember that! Lol
Holy shit it's a remix of a remix
Josh Wilson F.C.P.R.E.M.R.E.M.I.X.
Its getting meta
1:23 so amazing, they should od another remix of the remix with that in it lol
3:31
holy shit goosebumps
you have no clue. this whole performance made me shiver. with tim singing "I don't wanna see the day" I swear it sounds like 10 guys together.
Same!
+Bradybrunch I want Tim to sing more. His singing voice is so powerful. And it blends well with Thomas' sly cat snarly singing he does sometimes. Like on the nirvana cover they released.
That's the best of a live performance!!
Same
The bass sounds so good
Saw Chon and Fall of Troy re-united in Columbus, OH. Best concert ever.
Man I feel old. my high school era right hea!!!!!!
One of my favorite videos ever, RIP CHON, LONG LIVE THE FALL OF TROY
Whoa!
Sooooo sweet seeing all these legends wear my Overdrive Straps.. ✌ Stoked!
Hey I love your straps I have the one that Thomas erak is wearing
They should start a new band, chon troy is fucking badass.
Love that Drew stage dives both at 0:31 and 3:14
so fucking epicccc, hail thomas erak
Man what a great performance and a great crowd
Respect to Thomas for still blowing his vocals out for his vocals out for his fans🙌🏻
Shoutout to the dude at 1:10 with the Dillinger shirt on.
And we’re back!
That mathcore breakdown around minute 3 was just unreal. I hadn't thought of this song since freshman year of college. So awesome.
unreal recording dude haha
Lmaooo nobody is talking about the angle getting shaky for the build up at 3:05, music moves the crowd man, props to the camera guy fr
SENSACIOOONALLLL !! O tempo passa e essa musica fica melhor ainda
Drew diving at the beginning tho
+halluciniinja yes, so glad someone else saw this!
So good. I really don't like CHON as much since he left. I know that's shitty to say, and it's totally irrational - but I feel like the live presence of the band took a huge dive when he left.

Just a beautiful moment I’m jelaous I couldn’t be part of his/their music is spectacular
The Fall of CHON
Yes! I thought the same thing.
I personally like CHONTroy better
can we get a rerecorded version of FCPRemix featuring the members of Chon please?
the guitar is just so fucking sick!
AMAZING performance!! 🔥
i mss chon I MISS CHON TROY
ITS 2019.... NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED! *THIS*
OMG !!! CHON and F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X
Ran into Thomas Erak while he was touring with Chiodos on Warped Tour, and all I can say is what an incredibly humble and talented mf.
The FIRST thing I asked about was The Fall Of Troy because they were on hiatus... after hearing him talk I'm confident he ALWAYS has TFoT fans in mind!
Dos de mis bandas favoritas compartiendo escenario, demasiado épico
the first lyric is contradictory😭🔥
Esta banda la conocí por el famoso juego, Guitar hero lll
Me lleva gustando un montón de tiempo pero siguen sin nuevos albunes
I didn't know how amazing this song could be. I would kill to see them live! They are playing in KS next week but it's a ten hour drive
This looks so fun
Best live show, actually sounds good unlike a lot of live show
THAT chorus for Chon must be the most rockiest thing they ever played.
3:50 brian evans gets up on stage lol
btw brian is the guy who records drums on chon's albums and also is nathan's teacher
Prolly coolest video on youtube
Tfot x chon x Yvette young x polyphia x animals as leaders
Ian Angello yes this is very fucking awesome and needs to happen would travel with em if I could
Add Soften the Glare please
Animals as leaders es la caña ♥️
Add will from dgd
No items final destination
My heart.... Can't handle this... XO
This song has brought me through some rough times.
What a great riff !
los chon se encuentran desencajados ante tanta brutalidad de tomas
fall of troy is best troy
chon + tfot = perfection :'(
Think about being that 2nd guitar player and having to learn these parts. Jesus the pressure. Even just being a member of this band would be the most difficult thing I could ever imagine
coolest shit ever
damn the energy still got it
Imagine how fuckin sweet this was to see in person
Two of my favorite
This made me weep with joy!
They're going to reunite in SD during the last stop of Chon's Homey Tour
Finding this made my day
not enough guitars
These smaller shows always looked pretty cool but never get the chance to go to any
3:28 was litteraly beautiful
This looks like such a fun concert holy shit
Slow down, this is slipping through my mind
This conversation has run out of time
Honey, I know you know what I mean
And that's the one thing that you soon will find
I know that you really wanna go
My mind is runnin' outta gas, just relax and recap, and relapse
Tonight, my body's jumpin' and I
Go through the motions, and I'm leaving on this journey
Maybe someday, I'll come running home to you
I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe
(Come running home, come running home) her heart in my hands
It's too bad, no regrets
I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave
(Come running home, come running home) this is my one chance
To take back no regrets
Let's go, I just wanna let you know
This situation leaves me outta breath
We'll drive till the love that's in your eyes
Drops to the ground and unravels like a thread
I know that you really wanna go
I only think about her, must get to her, cannot lose her
You know that I will not let this die
Life support systems and my mind on
Rewind, and rewind, and rewind!
I don't wanna see the day my words cannot make it safe
(Come running home, come running home) her heart in my hands
It's too bad, no regrets
I don't wanna see the day her tears are falling on my grave
(Come running home, come running home) this is my one chance
To take back no regrets
I don't wanna see the day my words cannot make it safe
Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets
I don't wanna see the day her tears are falling on my grave
This is my one chance (my one chance, my one chance)
the fall of troy are back?! holy Lord @_@ and there's more of them?! and, and... speechless -_-
+pageperpage Oh, Chon, hence Chon of Troy, that's why there's more of them
this is so damn lively and awesome! best performance
WHAT IS THIS? TFOT AND CHON??? WHAT MADNESS
I WANTED TO GO TO THIS SHOW SO BAD, HOLY FUCK
God this concert looks like a fucking blast
Holy hell they got old
Well, that's like, life, you know?
Thomas Erak is such a good guitarist.
One word amazing
Lol is it Drew diving at 0:32 ?
Goosebumps
Audiotree do you have the rest of the fall of Troy live recording?
This was the best video I've ever seen
Damn guys I’m just hearing about you all and you’ve broke up already? Lol...we’ll keep rocking my friends...thoroughly enjoying it. The break down on this song is madness and I love it. Beautiful leadish riffage during the chorus. Rock Solid stuff guys!
Sounds PERFECT!
fall of troy is so dope
tim put the overdrive on the bass for the breakdown

Holy fuck yes!! I wish I was there
Amazing crowd !

Fuck ya! Some of my biggest idols ever all killing it on stage
I was born in Kalamazoo Michigan.
