Their era of TBS is still my fav.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUP
2nd fave!!
Hands down the best
Everyone that loves them is when Fred was there.
Man, I am 28 years old and I assure I have never enjoyed a band as much as I did with Taking Back Sunday when I was 16 -20. Louder Now is my favorite album. Great video! Love from Uruguay
That’s so cool! Thank you for watching!!
Completely agree. That album and the one before it is amzing. I still listen to them.
Same here. Same age as you also. Miss those day’s a lot
I hope Matt convinces Tom to let you have a little solo feature on the new AVA album. That'd be sick!
I like where your head’s at! 🤞
that would so tight
Wow his back up vocals would be sick with Tom!!
@@TheColorFred do it !!!
My brothers girlfriend once left a random burnt disc at our place back in ‘07. It had ‘TBS Louder Now’ written on it. I’d never even heard of Taking Back Sunday. That album changed my life. The song structures. The production. Heart wrenching moments in tracks like Miami and My Blue Heaven to the aggression in Error Operator and Spin. I missed the boat with TBS’s early punk/pop stuff and to be honest - all follow ups to Louder Now just haven’t hit the mark. Fred’s influence at that time is undeniable. And as Valentine said - Rubano’s playing is immaculate. It’s a shame to discover there was tension in the band during this era but at least one of the best ever rock albums came out of it.
Our A&R guy once told us that tension in bands has made some of the best records... and I kind of agree.
the adam & fred version of this is going to be epic
Man the day that video drop imma have a damn emogasm
That dog just be like: no clue what y'all are talkin bout I'm comfy
Matt is the reason why I decided to play bass and be in bands. Im Hyped
Matt is seriously the man!!
Definitely a Mensch
It’s without a doubt the best TBS era.
This was great. I was one of the biggest TBS fans during the “Fred and Matt” era. I watched the TBS home videos and the deluxe DVD edition of Louder Now lol. Just thinking back to how huge TBS was at the time I cant even imagine what it was like for you guys to be apart of that whole experience.
It was amazing times! Those home movies were some early RUclips years. They look crazy now.
Yes! My favorite guitarist & bassist from Taking Back Sunday's history. Really looking forward to this one, gentlemen!
I’m very excited!!
Rubano is hands down my biggest influence. I learned how to play bass by listening and playing along to wywtb and LN on repeat when I first picked up the bass when I was 12
He’s the best! That’s so cool
He's great with Angels and Airwaves too.
Are you kidding me? I didn’t realize this video was happening, I’m so pumped! WYWTB blew me away when it dropped and it’s still in my usual rotation. So happy for both of you guys and all that you’ve accomplished since!
That means alot. Thanks so much!!!
what a great conversation. I have seen TBS through 3 eras, but the Rubascherino era was my entire teenage years.
Thanks for coming by and watching
damn i met matt when i ran for them at the atl AVA gig last year and didn't even realize he was TBS matt! he was so sweet and accommodating. loved this convo, much love to y'all!
Matt is the man!
@@TheColorFred truly!
Definitely wasn't execting this but I love it.
thanks for watching!
"Its just bass" I started using that phrase against our bass player after watching the Louder Now DVD haha
Hahaha! Tell your bass player I'm sorry (but it's true)
u guys need to make some new music together again, thanks u fred for this
Ah man, I LOVE this. Fred, your scream 😍 First three TBS albums are perfection and so different. I can still remember the day I bought Louder Now loaded it up the CD player and repeated it all night! Amazing.
Those were amazing times my friend!!
Love being a fly on the wall
I hadn’t seen him in so long. Love Matt!
@@TheColorFred Saw him play recently with Angels and Airwaves. Would love to see you someday Fred!
So awesome to hear you guys talk about all these stories and I love that you are still friends!
I'm very happy we could get together. I always knew in my heart that everyone in TBS was a good person. Things only got ugly in the press. When I was in the band, there were just different points of view and being older now, I totally get both sides.
Crazy hearing them talk about that first show back at the Randall’s Island Warped Tour in 2003. That was my first Warped and my introduction to TBS. 17 years later and I still remember that set crystal clear.
That’s crazy that you were there. A momentous day for sure!!!
Great show. Almost as wild as the infamous skate and surf show when the tbs guys jumped ship. Would love to hear Fred talk about the lemonheads!
Anytime I get to hear a story about any of the guys who used to be in the band running into the current line up and it's all hugs and smiles....def makes me smile! Thanks for that!
I was there at the first show. It was so dope. There was this weird "brand new vs TBS" thing going on with the fans. I felt like that fueled the singing before the show.
Lol I remember all the little internet drama threads back in the day. Rumors of taking back Sunday vs brand new feud. Rumors of why John left TBS, etc. It was like its own little celebrity drama world lol.
lovesgibson right? I remember people having shirts made up that said something to the effect of "mic cables are for swingers not singers” and the brand new chess piece hanging from a rope.
Great interview, very cool to hear you both discuss that time in TBS. Matt’s analogy of being in a band being like marriage and there’s always 2 or 3 sides to the story that nobody truly knows but those involved.
Hearing these stories makes me happy and sad at the same time. Your TBS era is what makes TBS, TBS to me.
Almost Happy 2 Year Anniversary on this video. Thanks for keeping my teen years alive in my heart Fred
You guys keep me alive too. Believe me!!😊
The intros to Liar and Error: Operator are still some of the most badass openings to any rock songs I've ever heard
I wrote those, but they would’ve been nothing without Matt playing them!
Fred, you and Matt are the men!
@@TheColorFred, just the way you all played off each other musically was just perfection. I'm such a fan of your work. Thank you for all of your contributions to music!
Also, holy shit, Fred Mascherino hearted my comment 😭😀
My brother is also such a huge fan of yours. He's the one who introduced me to TBS!
The best of TBS. Love you guys and what you've done since.
Thanks!
This was dope! Love these guys
TBS should just turn into a Supergroup haha. Keep john and shaun, but add back in matt and fred, Make a louder now part II, dominate like the early 2000s again. Matt and Shaun can do dueling bass solos. Fun times all around! Hahah 🤘🏻
Honestly, I think a line-up I'd love to see is Adam, Fred, John, Matt, and Mark
You know what would be sick? If the two Matts, Fred, and Mark formed a band. But I heard that Mark was really the most bitter with Fred.
hell yeah, this was awesome
Kinda miss their time with TBS. I started with bass mirroring Matt's playing especially on What it Feels Like To Be A Ghost, then shifted to playing the guitars and I really cant keep up with Fred's prowess.
so good to see my favorite guitarist/vocalist and favorite bassist together for a chat! you, adam, matt, mark and eddie are my favorite TBS lineup, always and forever.
Thanks so much! I talked to Matt today. Love that guy!
Finally my prayers have been answered i loved that era!!! Thx fred
You guys made some big shockwaves. Just remembering how your musics impacted my teenage and young adult years almost brings a tear to my eye. I'm from Brazil and trust me, every person who did give a listen (and understood the english lyrics given we speak portuguese) just up and loved everything about the music. We just carried all these lyrics, riffs and confessions on our chests. I know a band is an organism and many members are responsible for many nuances, but there's something in this special era that's so unique it never clicked again for me the way these songs did. All my regards to both you and Matt!
This was a great watch! Thank you for making this possible!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this! This is awesome!
I was so happy talking to Matt about our history. Thank you for watching!
I love seeing you guys together.
Thank you guys for everything! 🙏
Loved the interview, hope to see Matt again on this channel!
You will!! Thanks for watching
Thanks Fred!
This is a pleasant surprise, that era got me into music
Hell yes!
These videos are a breath of nostalgia and a great backstage pass (of sorts)! I looked up to you so much growing up as a musician and it's good to see you again after all these years. Thanks for doing this and cheers from the Caribbean!
Thanks for watching! More to come
Awesome!
Great to see you guys together after all these years. Great stories you both shared. Hoping for a collab from you two soon
Thanks for watching! I'm hoping too.
This is great. It was SO nice to hear you guys catch up and reminisce. It sounds like everyone has found some amount of closure and there is nothing that makes this Taking Back Sunday fan happier than that. Much love to you guys. 🙏
I really appreciate that. Thank you
Fred i saw you guys in New Jersey, i never met you but man you seem a very down to earth dude. Thank you for all the music man, it was awesome. Love from a dude from Jersey ✌️
so stoked you two got to sit down & chat together. love all yr videos Fred, but this one really takes the cake!! Thanks for sharing : )
It was so cool to finally talk to Matt in this way. Used to see him everyday. 😊
Looking forward to this one
Me too!! Thanks
This was so cool for TBS fans Fred, thanks so much to you and Matt for doing it.
Where You Want To Be is forever one of my fave albums, vinyl up on my wall
That’s awesome!! Thank you so much for watching
Loved this! Please please please do more of this kind of reflection and stories. The Eric Valentine story alone was so epic to hear. Keep up the great work Fred!
I’ll keep making these as long as people keep watching. There’s lots more to tell. Thanks 🙏
Thank you guys for sharing your stories together!!! you guys are amazing music artists!! 💯🤘❤ you inspire us in so many ways 👏 Louder Now album is my fave btw
Thank you so much!! We've had so many great times together. It's nice to look back.
I needed this I love all of you but I'm so glad your all having good times doing your own thing and there's always a chance of a reunion...I mean look at My chemical Romance they were a huge band and came back I don't see why it's not possible for you guys to play together again to
As a TBS fan boy and a bass player, I loved this. Keep it going!
For sure!!! Thanks for watching
Great chat guys. Really enjoyed it
Thanks for watching!!!
Tell All Your Friends was the first record I heard by TBS when I first started high school, but WYWTB and Louder Now were the two records that really got me into music outside of radio hits by random pop bands. They opened up a whole new world to me and essentially turned me into a full-blown “emo” 😂 They also came at a really dark time in my life (a series of family deaths and a house fire; unlucky, I know 😅), and by listening to them, I was distracted from my real world troubles as well as guided to look inward and discover things about myself including who I was and what I wanted to do with my future. Because of this, I can safely say that without that band, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now I’m an aspiring musician and I’ve been practicing multiple instruments including guitar, piano, and ukulele, bass, and drums, along with poetry/lyricism for the past year now when I’m not doing college work. It was that rotation of TBS, MCR, and FOB which shaped me into the person I am now, so thank you Fred and Matt for contributing a ton to my personal development and opening me up to a whole new interest in the art of music. You were the butterfly effect that kickstarted my world.
Where you want to be is my best and favorite album of my sophomore year of high school, I thank you for that.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching. I made a video for WYWTB as well -ruclips.net/video/pZxKktBqDDg/видео.html
Great stuff Fred! I never got to see you with TBS. I was so mad that i missed the AVA/TBS tour in 2006. But, my consolation prize was seeing The Color Fred open for them in 2008! I was front row at the Baltimore show. At a point in the set you straddled across to the barricade and were playing above my head haha!
The AVA/ Color Fred tour was such a great time!! I wish Matt was on that one
Dude this is amazing keep the vids coming !! 🔥
Thanks so much for watching! Will do-
Thank you for your guitar work and vocals during your time in the band, Fred
You guys make it worth the work. Thanks for still coming around.
Thanks for this! So cool to get a peek behind the scenes of the TBS days. I enjoy all the TBS albums, but it's still WYWTB and Louder Now that are the standouts by far. I remember hearing A Decade Under the Influence on MuchMusic and my mind was immediately blown, it was unlike anything I'd heard before. Crazy, that was 16 years ago...... but you guys have both aged well :)
They were things we worked really hard on and were lucky that people liked it so much. Thanks for all your kind words! ❤️
When two of my favorite and most influential musicians ever meet up again after all these years, it's like a nostalgia kick right in my face. Watching this video was so much fun. I'm looking forward to hearing you both on a song together again.
That will be a good day for sure! Thanks so much for watching.
I would love for you guys to make music together again!
I'm sure we will
Best TBS lineup IMO
All these videos are so great Fred. When I was 14 and still a beginner musician I would take my copy of Where You Want To Be to my guitar lessons and my teacher would help me transcribe and play all of the tunes. Learnt that album basically back to front! Really important for my formative years. I went and did Music school and education and teach music full time now at a secondary school :)
That's so amazing!!! Thanks for your story. This is why I love doing what I do.
Love the material with Matt and Eddie ! Literally Fred, anything you show us or tell us about you and Matt's era of TbS? Please more !
Plenty more coming. Thanks for watching !
Awesome man! Can't wait ! I'll be here !
Woah, I flew to Riot Fest from Toronto last year,
and would've been gobsmacked if I ran into you watching TBS, Fred!
I was also pleasantly surprised to see Matt performing with Glassjaw that year as well.
This is fun; keep the conversations coming.
Going stir-crazy with quarantine.
Will do man! Thanks alot. Luckily no one noticed me at all hehe
Oh man! This was awesome! Would love to see you and Fazzi shred it out (IB can get in there too!)
That sounds like fun!
Really awesome to see you both just shooting the shit and having good vibes. Wish you both the best
By the way that yorkie is adorable! More of that little dude as well
hahahaha!! I know!
WYWTB came out the summer before my senior year of high school, I'm 33 now. I had started to fall in love with TBS from TAYF, but the first time hearing you and Adam's vocals together, I was blown away. WYWTB is still my favorite TBS album, I picked up and listened to it front to back about a week ago. Still know all of the lyrics. Crazy time traveling experience. Thanks for this interview and thanks for all you do Fred. So much love.
That makes me feel old haha! There’s a special place in my heart for WYWTB as well. Thanks for coming by.
Dude this is great. 😊👍
Thanks for watching!!!!
Bumped into matt in a hotel lift in Bali
We looked at him then looked at each other and went ..."is that" ?
He walked out and we thought " pretty sure it was"
Turns out it was Matt Rubano on tour with TBS in Indonesia.
Seemed like a cool guy..
Hope hes doing well.
Louder Now was a really special sound. I still love the structures of the tracks on that album. Thanks for the music guys.
This was awesome! I still lament the fact that you guys weren't able to stay on and make more music together, I do love all TBS records but Where you want to be and Louder Now were really special records. Fred's backing vocals sometimes only a subtle difference, but other times just stood out and really made it a new sound that seemed to work even better than John's. Regardless I love it all but you guys made some awesome music together.
Thank you Ben!
It's really nice to see stuff like this after years of the magazines and sites always trying to stoke the flames of rumors and drama. Haha. Great conversation and would love to see more like this, Fred.
Thanks man. Great point. I'll keep it comin'.
I seen TBS for every tour after you and Matt joined. I must say, you guys were the best thing that ever happened to that band, as well as killing it live! While it's cool the original lineup got back together, "I haven't been happier, not since."
Thank you! Nice use of lyrics haha
Great to see you guys again!!!!
Thanks Kyle!
Anytime!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely wonderful to see this . Fred and Matt you both have great history and have touched so many lives (including mine) with your talents. Thank you both!! (Matt aka Mr. Al-U Minum)
It means alot to hear from you! Thanks for watching. At this point in my life, I really do look fondly at those times. Glad to have gotten to know you back then. Peace.
Really enjoyed this video. Louder Now is one of my favourite albums of all time, both from a musical standpoint and a recording/mixing/production standpoint. Would love to hear more about working with Eric Valentine if there's enough interest, everything that guy touches is audio gold!
Maybe someday, I can get Eric to do an interview. I'll keep it on the wish list.
Damn Matt being a part of all my other fav bands! What a beast!! Y’all are my hero’s.
I ❤️ Matt!
Wow, this is a great discussion. Thanks for this.
I really appreciate you watching ❤️
@@TheColorFred 😀
This really brought a tear to my eye lol
It's so nice to see you guys together again.
Now once Eddie gets better, or maybe he already has, let's get him on board and make some magic hahaha. :D
Nothing but respect for you guys.
I spoke with Eddie this morning. He’s doing great and we will do a video together down the road.
@@TheColorFred man that is awesome! I cant wait to check that out. Its terrible that I live all the way out in Indiana lol it would be a dream come true to jam with ya lol
I love this line up. I remember listening to tbs for the very first time back in 2004. I was in 4th grade and briefly remember listening to tell all your friends. I would tune in mtv to watch the video rotations of a decade under the influence and this photograph is proof
Those were great years! Thanks so much for watching
@@TheColorFred keep up the good work bro. Glad to see you're alive and well and making content here during these crazy times. Be safe 🤘🏾
LOVE!
thnx!!!
Great conversation. A great point made by Matt that resonated with me - about being in a band with and sharing something that's meaningful to all of you - Years really can go by, with little to no contact, but you always feel a bond, that comes right back to life.
I remember a while ago bumping into a former band mate from like 7 years ago - we'd toured in tiny vans, slept on recording studio floors, got paid in gas money, sweated out an EP we loved that didn't get heard enough etc. As we finished chatting, he said something along the lines of 'Just remember, we did SOMETHING, we really did something back then'. And i was thinking, fuck yeah we did - it's nice to share such a bond.
You are spot on! I love that!!
I saw you guys at warped tour a week before where you want to be cane out. It was amazing show and it cemented my love the band and everyone involved. That brave heart shit you guys did with the crowd was inspirational. Just thank you man
We got in so much trouble for Braveheart in Canada because a bunch of kids were hospitalized from it. I felt so stupid 😌
The Color Fred oh damn well at least in Montana it’s was beautiful
I hope those kids ok but that’s also a somewhat great experience that those kids will be taking about for a lifetime
Literally the best TBS line up
These two were the special thing in tbs.
You’re very kind
This is great. I was really getting into rock when I saw the make damn sure video on MTV. Became the soundtrack of my middle school years. Such great memories. Really love that era of TBS.
Thank you for watching!! They were great years for us as well
The Color Fred I got back into your content after hearing your interview with Shane Told on Lead Singer Syndrome. Great to see that you’re still doing music. It’s also really nice that you interact with all the people commenting on your videos.
@@metalman1817 I'm very grateful to have people who still follow me & my music.
The Color Fred any chance you can do a version of make damn sure?
I would love to see Adam and Fred talk! This was really dope!
Thanks for watching ✌️🤘
Me neither! I’ll be here chatting during the premier
My two TBS tattoos are from the Fred and Matt era
Best riffs from TBS
Heck Yea! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Yes yes yes yes!!!
🤘
These guys are the real TBS to me.
I honestly can't decide who I liked better. John or Fred. Louder now is my favorite TBS record, but I also love that John is back. Idk maybe have both at the same time.
the couple that shaped alternative rock for the better
😊
I love you Fred
Would love to see you get one of the guys from Breaking Pangaea on! I still listen to you guys almost every day.
That’s awesome!!! I do have plans to talk with those guys.
Can you please reunite with TBS by any chance? if no then please just one more song with TBS with you both and the nostalgia emo rock style or WYWTB era..pleaseee..We all been waitin for that moments...Lovelotss!!❤️
