pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - thomas erak ain't got no soul power

xheavensfencex Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - how u figure? thomas erak is just the greatest guitarist of this generation

xheavensfencex Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - ....you have to be ignorant or just dumb to say Fall of Troy copies portugal the man...

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - greatest guitarist of this generation my ass. he's a piece of shit wanker with no original style. go listen to the mars volta, guess which one is the "greatest guitarist of this gerneration". plus, the fact that you have "x"'s in your screename automatically invalidates your opinion.

bumzors Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - No original style? Uhhhh...I could let you get away with saying that he isn't the greatest guitarist of this generation (because there isn't a single best and if there is then its John Mayer), but not original? Seriously? I don't think theres a SINGLE person out there with Thomas' style. Really, what a blatantly ignorant statement.

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - the majority of his riffs are gay little pull-offs and hammer-on riffs that sound like an at the drive-in riff sped up. and if you don't think that spastic pentatonic pull-off shit hadn't been done before them you're listening to too much rap-metal. there's nothing original about his tapping, the effects he uses, his piece of shit solos or his general songwriting. he's a fake fucking wanker. his shit is weak.

Jul 26, 2008 - hahahaha

xheavensfencex Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - wow way to be cliche and say something about my user name. Pentatonic? you im guessing you havent played a fall of troy song or know your scales. or maybe you havent listend to a song of fall of troys beside fcpremix

tmvfan Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I agree with the fact that Thomas Erak is one of the greatest guitarists in our generation. So is Omar Rodriguez-Lopez but you have to take the fact that he knows little theory into effect. Theory isn't everything though. Thomas's riffs do sounds Omaresque, but the guy is in his early 20's and shreds like a bad ass motherfucker. Just lay off about who's the better of the two. Music isn't played to show who's better but it's played to appeal to other people's ears.

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i realize that, and thomas erak is shit to my ears. shredding doesn't mean anything, go chill with some heavy metal for that shit.

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i used to be able to play almost all of doppelganger and a few of the ghostship songs. i'm very familiar with their work, my opinions are backed up so don't give me shit about em and i'll do the same for you.

xheavensfencex Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - so if you have played their songs then you should know.....

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - you obviously don't understand..

xheavensfencex Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - wont dont i understand? that my taste in music is diffrent? that to my ears mars volta and the man portugal are great but to me the fall of troy out does them i dont care what you think about them cuz i know they're better....i guess...just get over it

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - it was a response to "you should know" as if it is indisputable fact that he is the best thing since sliced bread. i don't care if you love the fall of troy, that's all good, just don't be trying to tell me how great thomas erak is. my original comment was a joke, get outta here with that.

Nateytracks Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Both of you shut the fuck up. Heavensfence can have whatever opinion he likes. He should not be criticized by a stranger.

snoopgawg Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - hey isnt that tera melos way over there on the right hand side?

bumzors Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Please give me more shit that sounds like that. It's win-win for me because if you don't then you look like an idiot, and if you do, I have more music to listen to. And where do you make the rap-metal connection? Has ICP been doing this for years or something? Come on, you gotta try harder than that.

pandasnakeman Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - never said he couldn't.

p2psux5 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - dude i totally agree... the mars volta and portugal the man are good musical writers overall, but when it comes down to just the guitar, erak is probably one of the most original of our time hes a muthafuckin genius baby!

themayflowa Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - besides the fact that this video destroys, it gave birth to the funniest, most idiotic, redundant comment battle i've ever seen.if any of you comment battlers had a single brain cell between all of your little whiny asses, you might be able to conjure a thought along the lines of: "holy shit, i'm in an epic comment battle on youtube. YOUTUBE. i have no friends. (90% of you would ALSO have the tagline of:) i have no job. hmmm. maybe i should actually go DO something with my life." peace

yeaarrghh Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - indeed it is.
