I love how even though these are probably some of the best musicians in the world, they don't just play to be admired. They genuinely enjoy playing music and putting on a good show, and you can tell by the way they conduct themselves on stage. True musicians right there, folks.
@tjl5030 I think they're just too different to be compared. I think they're both awesome but what's sure is that Tosin is much more better than Jimi from the technical point of view.
@GuitaristAidan by playing it til they can't stand it and then playing it even more these guys have probably played this song literally thousands of times.
sounds like a little backing track or looper thing goin on? when they're both playin the lead, seems like somethin else is playin. not talkin it down, it works
not that navene put on a bad show when I last saw him with aal, but in this video he is really ripping things up. He looks more comfortable than ever.
@ToweringFilth i think it's just the fact that he's not playing his own material in these songs. misha mansoor wrote all of the drum parts for the songs. if you watch the video of the new animals as leaders song navene looks even more comfortable.
this is how metal should be without the stupid screaming or the bad lyrics, pure awesomeness instead.
