Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 259

Loved that Fred video. He seems like such a great and genuine guy. It's cool that he started developing that pull off riff style on WYWTB, I feel like that's pretty much his signature style at this point.

 

Is that Shauna Malwae-Tweep from Parks and Rec doing the interview at the beginning?!

 

That video made me realize how much of an influence Fred had on my guitar playing, especially with that pull off thing that I think Matt from Emery includes a lot in his guitar parts as well.

 

Yup, Fred and Quinn Allman were huge guitar influencers of mine in the early to mid 2000’s.

They came after Brian Baker of Bad Religion and obviously Tom DeLonge lol.

 

I just listened back to the whole thing again, and I agree. HI and Tidal Wave are the closest the band ever came to matching the overall quality/excellence of WYWTB.

 

Same here! To the point where I wrote one pull-off melody for a band I was in 6 years ago then recycled it for another band I was in 3 years later...kinda like what Fred did with the Little Devotional/Lullaby riff haha

 

Tidal wave i think is the closest they’ve come to match wywtb. If they started the album with You can’t look back, and left off death wolf and tidal wave, it would be a near perfect album for me.

 

Death Wolf is a good song though

 

Death Wolf through to All Excess is one the best stretches of songs in their entire discography.

 

Both songs are good but idt they fit with the whole vibe of the album

 

I just discovered/re-discovered that the lead guitar at the beginning of Little Devotional was reused in Lullaby by Terrible Things. Nice easter egg for TBS fans.

 

True

 

I dont need this but that green is niicee

 

Cool! Hopefully they release the remastered tracks digitally - last thing I need is another copy of TAYF on vinyl haha

 

I dig that new Color Fred song!

 

It would be cool if one day they did a reunion tour that included some past members. I know it's probably very unlikely.

 

I got one. Had to

 

can't believe victory let them do that

 

Is there another new one? Or do you mean the one that’s been out for months?

 

The Ultimate Taking Back Sunday Show:

6 p.m. The Color Fred
6:45 p.m. Terrible Things
7:45 p.m. Straylight Run
9:15 p.m. Taking Back Sunday

I'd pay lots of money.

 

i'd take Happy Body Slow Brain over either of Fred's projects.

 

i dont think youd ever see matt fazzi collab anything with TBS again though

 

It looks like it came out in May, I didnt know anything about it though.

 

WYWTB is so great. Agree that it's aged very well, hearing Fred talk about it was such a treat.
