He should go into electronic music, because that was one hell of a bass drop.

Maybe they will split up again

uh oh, looks like erak's shittyness may be coming back.

WARNING! SHOCK!

"OK, OK#2, OK#3.1, OK#3.2"

What the hell, I just noticed this. I jammed OK and OK#2, but they released a 3.1 and 3.2? What is this band doing.

Is it bad that I was rooting for the crowd to throw things at them?

that was so awkward

guess he's not...OK

If he quits the band, I guess they'll need a Doppelganger for future shows.

lame

In The Unlikely Event that this turns out well, hopefully they won't drink as much before going on stage.

maybe he's sick of being Erak's session musician

"maybe he's sick of being Erak's session musician"
Sounds like there's a phantom on the horizon.

stooooooooooooop

"bet u can't smash ur bass hard as i smashed ur girl"

Erak has probably been pushing his buttons for weeks building up to this. You see, he is a great Manipulator of people.

I hope if they play Live at the Boardwalk again that something like this doesn't happen again.

I guess this entire situation will be an Ode to the Masochists.

You guys are painfully unfunny

lol

The Drama of Troy

"You guys are painfully unfunny"
Come on dude, I Just Got This Symphony Goin'

why is this in my discussions section

"congrats on your very first comment being the shittiest one in sputnik history"
Those sure are some... nostalgic mannerisms

"The Fall Of Troy - WARNING! SHOCK! DESTROYED BASS ON THE STAGE!"

the title of that video might as well be a title for a song off their earlier albums.

Thomas erak kinda sucks honestly

seeing that video I REALLY want to know what he said to him

Didn't Tim leave the first time because of addictions? Could be the same thing happening here. Either way, that was awkward as hell.

I'm just focused on the fact that he can play guitar and do vocals at the same time so well

I saw their show yesterday, and there were only two of them. They didn't call for another bassist, nor even played bass as a back track. It kinda affected the show quality, but Thomas still rocked the fuck out.

Erak is talented but he also willingly joined Choidos

so fuck 'im

hope Tim's okay

"congrats on your very first comment being the shittiest one in sputnik history"

Just like a turd in the sewer. Love being apart of the shitfest that is Sputnik

damn I wanna know what the word is. pretty crazy they're doing it as a 2 piece lol

"Love being apart of the shitfest that is Sputnik"

I think this guys a keeper

or just some alt being absolutely bitter.

wanna know what he said

He whispered "Rosebud" in Tim's ear. Tim is a notorious movie snob, and he has yet to see 1941 classic "Citizen Kane".

Lol

Odd.

"He whispered "Rosebud" in Tim's ear. Tim is a notorious movie snob, and he has yet to see 1941 classic "Citizen Kane"."
Fucking lmao

they were probably having disagreements about whether OK#4 was gonna be the stems or remixes

"remixes"

Actually it's going to be stem cell remixes

probably told him something to the effect of "play the fucking song right you drunk or don't play it at all"

Band is disgustingly overrated

Well I guess you could say he's not

"Love being apart of the shitfest that is Sputnik"

the comments sections aren't quite as carcinogenic as the ones on YouTube yeah

"He whispered "Rosebud" in Tim's ear. Tim is a notorious movie snob, and he has yet to see 1941 classic "Citizen Kane"."

LMAOOOO

"probably told him something to the effect of "play the fucking song right you drunk or don't play it at all"

that seems pretty accurate

God dammit... why did I not see them in Denver while I had the chance

Video was more entertaining than anything this band has ever done

oh no this makes me sad

Fall of Troy bassist can't melt down steel beams

if they find me dead with "I swear I'd burn the fucking world" written in blood on my chest y'all know this thread is the reason

Have a friend that saw them in detroit, he was given the job to watch Ward not shoot up too much of the silver hammer, which he later did.

did we need the first 60% of that video?

this thread is just hillarious

Its a... breakdown of sanity...?

Holy fuck.

"He whispered "Rosebud" in Tim's ear. Tim is a notorious movie snob, and he has yet to see 1941 classic "Citizen Kane"."

Fucking dead

He was cool when I saw them last month, but I can imagine being around Erak all the time makes you want to chug a few and then some.

#ImwithCygnus

@TheJoyOfMotion You should be right at home then considering you're the gayest user I've ever seen

here's the full set

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glfLSCcpvNs

they're having a scuffle again I guess so RIP once more

I don't know anything about this band, but that was hilarious.

everyone in this thread is painfully unfunny. and their snapchat story has shown Tim being completely out of it for a while. sad to see

pretty crazy they're legit playing a a tour as a 2 piece, I'm listening to this whole thing and they actually played everything

Between The Fall of Troy, Just Like Vinyl and Chiodos Tom sure has a hard time keeping his bands afloat.

Someone make a kickstarter so that Tim can watch Citizen Kane sober.

What was their first fight about someone give me the deets

Like, back in 2007? I think it was mostly due to drug (ab)use back then that Tim left the band, not sure though.

if tim's still having drug use problems, that shit sucks. and it's not funny in the slightest.

Thomas and Andrew seem to be taking it all in stride on snapchat. but literally yesterday they were on snapchat listening to Tim's wife leave him voicemails telling him she was worried about him. it's seriously fucked

Like they were making fun of the situation?? That is fucked

I was actually going to see them in Saint Petersburg on tuesday but changed my mind at the last moment. From what my friends who attended the show told me the remaining two dudes really tried but it kinda sucked anyways.

wow this bothers me, I really want to know if tim is okay and what happened

Hello all,

Just wanna clear up a couple things... We have been supporting our new album for the last 3 months and Tim has descended lower and lower into drunken madness. We love Tim and are worried about him, we decided to finish the remaining dates in his absence to do the best we could to not let anyone down. This whole situation is not a joke to me or anyone else in our camp. I want Tim to get his life back on track so we can continue to play music and be friends. But he has continually been rude to all of us in our touring crew, our fans, and loved ones. We had to draw the line somewhere before he truly hurts himself or someone else...

Nobody "picked on Tim" if anything, it's the other way around and we did the best we could with the whole situation.

Hope that answers a few questions or sheds some light on what is going. Peace out and stay cool guys.

Thomas Erak

Tom, what exactly did you whisper to Tim during the show then? That didn't look like an unprovoked reaction.

He probably whispered the spoilers to the Mr. Robot finale to Tim.

All I whispered was literally "Come on dude..." And tried to get him to snap out of his violent and ill mood. The reaction shocked everyone... Me more than anyone.

Thomas

That's a shame, it really seems like you guys genuinely care about Tim (especially checking some of the Facebook posts leading up to the date of the incident). I wish you guys all the best, and I hope that this issue is resolved, and that Tim can get the help he needs.

If that was really Tom was legit as hell dude.

thanks for clearing that up Tom, I really appreciate that and hope that Tim gets the help he needs and that you guys can continue possible. sorry to hear that's what's happening, and I think it's awesome you guys are continuing so as not to let anyone down. hope to hear good news in the future

also I think it is actually him since someone linked this article to the band page on Facebook. glad that he took the time to tell us

Yeah it's more important to get him the help he needs, good luck to you dudes.

"If that was really Tom that was legit as hell dude"

for real, i love this band and that was really respectable

100

wow did tomas erak actually comment in this thread? that's hella respectable of him.

i hope tim pulls through, alcoholism is no joke, i struggled with it for 4 years

Incorrect use of "presumably", should be "apparently" or "allegedly", as we have no basis or resume to presume that it occurred 2 songs in.

ok

'wow did tomas erak actually comment in this thread? that's hella respectable of him.'

Makes you wonder if any more bands etc lurk on Sputnik.

Watching...
Waiting....

wow that was really him!! oi oi oi. i really like TFOT, good luck to the band

'wow that was really him!! oi oi oi. i really like TFOT, good luck to the band'

We can only wonder.

I know I'm hella late to this thread but holy shit Tom commented on this thread?? Haha wtf...

I remember something about Tim leaving this tour but never really heard what went down... figured he was having a tough time adjusting to the road again since this was just after they got back together...

he looks legitimately pissed in this video like he was ready to fight someone... pretty awkward/weird energy...

sad to see him sort of implode on stage like that, hopefully he got some help... forget music for a second and just take of yourself Tim... we love you!!! Get well!!!

The fuck I remember reading this thread back when it was happening but stopped short of seeing Thomas respond. Sad. Also: how the hell are we in 2020 already/ I suppose no new material from these guys?

huh

gosh

"13%"

Sputniknews, it happens here first.

shocked

This was wild

Oh no what happened

When I’m drunk I still can’t help but watch this and giggle like a fucking child that he dropped the bass.

Shocked these guys never got me too’d

It's always the ones you expect to get it that don't funny enough

only musical metoo I can say I wasn't too surprised about was Marilyn Manson. Other than that I didn't expect a lot of those.

The Fall of Tim

I don't really listen to the band so I have zero emotional investment in this, but that was a long time for it simply to be "chill out dude" unless that was just a basic summary of what was said

my friend's gf is good friends with tim ward. apparently he whispered the n word which freaked tim out

Truly the fall of The Fall of Troy

More like the fall of that poor bass

Snide didn't get nearly enough credit for that first comment. Sput should enable a "like" feature for articles/comments specifically to give Snide the cred they deserve. Immaculate.
