IMO Tosin is already much better than most of the shred influences he stated. Not only is his shred ALWAYS based on interesting ideas and concepts (not "how can I play even more notes in a second?"), he also writes extremely interesting and evolving songs with many different layers, that would even work without any lead work.
For example Malmsteen never exactly wrote songs, his tracks would be boring as shit without the lead.
I just found this band about a week ago and it's the ONLY thing I've been listening to since, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to my old bands
@TMaStAA I felt the same way when I first found this band a few months ago and I haven't been listening to any of my older bands either; it's pretty much inevitable haha. Peace
i love tosin. fucking brilliant musician and such a gentleman.
i saw thomas pridgen last night at a clinic in marietta, he said that he was supposed to be on a bebop album with tosin but it fell through and the he was bummed. but something interesting that he said after was he'd still prefer to make a metal album with tosin anyways!
