I went out to Rockford last night (12/2/07) to see my favorite band....The Fall of Troy....
Taken just a few moments before the band came onstage....you see the guitarists' (Thom) equipment on the right....two Orange 4x12 cabinets....and a Marshall head that looks like its been through a fucking war....Thom usually has an all Ornage set up....meaning the same brand of cabniets and head....but for some reason not tonite....
Thom is using a standard double cut-away Gibson Les Paul as his standard guitar for the night....
Drummer Andrew is using a four piece Creation drumset with a double bass pedal....hi-hat.....crash....splash.....and ride cymbals....plus a neat little bell on top of his ride.....
Bassist Frank is using a Gibson bass....and Ampeg amps.....

I went out to Rockford last night (12/2/07) to see my favorite band....The Fall of Troy....
The wonders of digital enabled me to get a sneak peak at the setlist for the night....the songs were definately not played in order....one of the songs was not played....and one not on the setlist was played....Im not complaining at all....just an observation....
Setlist Goes like this....
"Rockstar Nailbomb!" - Self Titled
"Cut Down All the Trees and Name The Streets After Them" - Manipulator
"I Just Got This Symphony Going" - Doppelganger
"F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." - Doppelganger
"Caught Up" - Manipulator
"The Adventures of Allan Gordon" - Self Titled
"Problem!?" - Manipulator
"The Circus That Has Brought Us Back To These Nights (Yo Chocola)" - Self Titled
"Oh! The Casino!?" - Manipulator
"Ex-Creations" - Manipulator
"Sledgehammer" - Manipulator
"March of The Ents" - Self Titled
You can see that they have nicknamed some of their songs....namely "Sledgehammer" is now called "Slutjammer".....wonderful....
In any event....they did NOT play "March of The Ents".....and they did play "Mouths Like Sidewinder Missles" which was NOT on the setlist.....
From what I can remember the actual setlist went something like this....
"Rockstar Nailbomb!"
"Mouths Like Sidewinder Missles"
"I Just Got This Symphony Going"
"Cut Down All The Trees and Name The Streets After Them"
"F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X."
"Caught Up"
"The Adventures of Allan Gordon"
A really neat jam that could be a fragment of a brand new song....
"Problem!?"
"The Circus That Has Brought Us Back To These Nights (Yo Chocola)"
"Oh! The Casino!?"
"Ex-Creations"
"Sledgehammer" with the begining of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Today" thrown in at the end.....
And that was it....all in all a fucking awesome set....

Just to give you an idea how crazy this show was....in case you didnt realize how insane The Fall of Troy is....someone lost their show midway through the show....and no one claimed it at the end....!
