    It's not metal. It's prog I guess. This also is not a live audio version, it is the recorded track from the album with clever sxsw video editing. I *****ing love this band.

    it's also not video of them at SXSW from 2010. I saw them there at Baileys with about 30 people. It was insane. I ran into Tony at Encore for TWDY and he was kind enough to smoke my weed. ASIWYFA was one of the better shows at SXSW last year.

    I think video it is from the other shows they played that week. IIRC they played upwards of four, although I only caught minutes of their last one at Friends Bar.

    I am extremely jealous of your encounter. I will have to heed your next Post-Party PM, as I missed the Gifts From Enola/Former Thieves outing. And we together shall heed green things.

    I'm not that into metal, but I certainly enjoy it from time to time.

    It is my understanding that Chron's is that, one, in general it is debilitating in an on/off type fashion, and two is more induced by stress and lifestyle. I think the rippin and tearin of life on the road (sleep, diet) got him sicker than actual screaming did, although many believe this because he worked so extensively to launch Head Automatica during the GJ 'health hiatus'. I saw them a year ago in Austin and he did not seem to be afraid to let it all hang out.

    OH ****. You just shipwrecked this thread. Like battery acid in my veins.

    TFOT Videos.

    TFOT Cool Story Bro.
    It was May 2008, and it was the happiest moment of my young life. We went to see TFOT with Tera Melos, the Dear Hunter and Foxy Shazam at the White Rabbit. So, the show goes hard. It's everything we could have asked for, as you might imagine. We get more than our money's worth, and we're just about ready to pack up and go home, but intuition drove us to continue drinking at a dive bar across right across the street.

    We walk in, say 30 minutes after TFOT's set ended, and in this dark little San Antonio bar which felt like the Texas version of the Mos Eisley Cantina, right at the counter talking with a small bearded friend of ours was The Thomas Erak. We slyly shift our way into the conversation, and the coup is well-received. I avoid telling him the true extent of my obsession, but begin conversing about other bands over rum and tequila. I note that he is already very hammered, but he insists on more tequila, so we all oblige. I wax harmonic with him on the nuances of his technique and composition for maybe twenty minutes, a personal moment of nirvana for myself, as a sh!tty metal band drones on in this dark corner of a stage. I also was able to pick Casey Crescenzo's creative brain, the Dear Hunter frontman and Receiving End of Sirens guitarist, which was also illuminating. CC revealed to me, upon my comparison and analysis of the two very different versions of "Smiling Swine," that the upbeat second C-G chords part ("now all the while") was inspired by Bobby Ferrin's "Don't Worry." Of all things.

    After a few endless breakdowns which the performers were displaying as songs, the **** band says "We'd like to thank our heroes in TFOT, and we would love to play with you guys!" I had been egging Thomas to get up and play alongside the band the whole time, but he dismissed my suggestion. At this point the rest of the band (Frank and Andrew) almost simultaneously comes in from across the street, Thomas leans right in my ear and goes "this is gonna get weird."

    He walks right on stage, drunk as hell, and takes the fat, hispanic lead guitarist's Jackson right out of his hands and beckons the rest of the band to join him. They look at one another and shrug with reluctance and just sorta follow suit and walk right up there, taking the other instruments. Thomas talks for maybe a minute while they tune, and they break into another encore set. Three songs. "You've Got a Deathwish Johnny Truant" "Sledgehammer" and a crazy mechanized, "TFOT-hysteria-style" cover of "Spanish Castle Magic" which was truly the most unique thing I'd ever heard them do. Literally, a three-song encore for an audience of myself, five of my friends and the members of Tera Melos, the Dear Hunter, and the sh!ty displaced metal band.

    Erak says to me as they depart the stage that they had never done anything like that, and that we were lucky. "You're telling me," I said.

    Gospel? A Place to Bury Strangers? Sorry Xero, but the title of this thread to me now reads "post your favorite rock songs without regard to label."

    Saw Cavalera Conspiracy last night at Emo's. The lead singer and the drummer are the original members of Sepultura, the cavalera brothers Max and Igor. Blew up that the place.
