After 16-17 years of being a From first to last fan, This song is my favorite now. This album grew so much in me through years. 30 years old geezer now hahaha.
in the same place(14 when Dear Diary came out, 32 today) and I agree, they refined their sound so well in the span of just a couple years It's even more interesting looking at this as the blueprint for what came to be Skrillex, and looking now in 2021 at just how influential his sound was on modern pop and electronic music
FFTL was pretty damn big in the emo/screamo scene. This music video was always playing in the CD section at Walmart any time I'd venture there. As for the statistics. A) This song came out in 2006. It wasn't terribly common to go to RU-vid to watch music videos back then. B) Dubstep is probably a lot more popular now than this kind of stuff was back then. Just because it's been seen more NOW doesn't mean that this wasn't popular THEN. All the emo girls I knew were crushing on sonny hardcore.
i remember buying this album in 7th grade 2005 or 06. my fav band as a teen lol now hes dropping those sick ass beats. way to go soony. you will always be soony to me lmao.
FFTL was my favorite group in middle school. Periphery is my favorite group now (progressive metal fan). Been a fan of FFTL since Dear Diary and of Periphery since their self-titled. This was the pinnacle of FFTL. The sound was its own. It wasn't anyone else. The Spencer version of FFTL is amazing, just not like this. Went straight from the Spencer cover of this to the original video because the one thing Spencer can't do is be Sonny. I think it's the timbre of Sonny's voice and his vibrato that made him so perfectly unique.
Heck yeah man. Sonny's vocals could beat Spencer's ten times every day. Why? BECAUSE SONNY IS A REAL SINGER AND DOESN'T NEED A TON OF PROCESSING TO SOUND GOOD.
I haven't seen this in a while. Can't believe I'd come back for a different reason. Lol Stay safe everyone! Isolate like you're in your early 00s emo phase.
There was an era there where Sonny was doing some random stuff and seemed to live like a squatter lol. You had to be a real fan to be in on that stuff.
I still wish he would sing more often. Especially to some of his new tracks. I really like his voice to some of the songs he sang in that he made doing electronic music, for example, Father Said.
Sonny Moore is an amazingly talented guy. The more I learn about him the more respect I have. Just listen to his Skrillex EPs The scope of music on them is amazing from really emotional beautiful tracks like Summit and With Your Friends to crazy bangers like Scary Monsters and First of the Year. I am a fan for life.
who cares if its emo, or punk, or post-hardcore, or anything. its music. we all love it. were here for a reason, to enjoy FFTL cuz now they dont have that many good bands making music like this anymore. thanks
Jason Williams these bands came out around the same time, screamo was a big genre at that time. the Used is more alternative than FFTL. they were more post-hardcore.
Miss u sonny!!!! i used to hang with these guys!! they were the shit!! miss it so much !! used to play vid games cod and guitar hero MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! love u guys!! XXOXXXOOXXO
I remember seeing this video for the first time and thinking he looks so sickly and very unwell. Then I realized that guy is just an actor, not Sonny haha
If i close my eyes and listen to this i can imagine living life how i was 5 years ago. Crazy how much can change and how music can be somewhat of a time capsule.
The 1st time I saw Sonny live he was wearing sandals it was electro music he was performing! I was amazed only to later realize how much people realized that he was from the band FFTL only because of Skrillex it used to annoy back in my day. I remember I was able to see him once more headline the mothership tour in 2011 it was indescribable. I only wish I could have been able to see front FFTL...
I think Sonny has a pretty damn cool/unique voice. Even though he's had vocal problems in the past I wish he would incorporate it more with his new music.
NOTE TO SOONY, WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY SKRILLEX IS WHAT, WE CALL A TRAGEDY COME BACK TO US, COME BACK TO US!!! TO US!!!!! you where awesome Soony with From First to Last. there is truly no one in the world like Soony!!
Everyone who's shitting on sonny for switching up clearly never listened to this song. There are so many of the same chaotic element s that exist in his music today from this one song. This is when he really began to evolve.
