Animals As Leaders - CAFO ( Summer Slaughter 2010 ) Ft. Worth, TX

[Jamsessionroom1337]

TURN JAVIER UP TOSIN!!! STOP BEING GREEDY!! :P

[Hangar18productions]

these guys are mind-blowing. easily the best thing in metal in the last 10 years.

[JohnOrrTheArsonist]

I actually find it kind of ironic that these guys played the Summer Slaughter tour. They're metal, don't get me wrong but they have a jammy quality to them more than anything tbh

[Doneyear]

@JohnOrrTheArsonist Yeah, same here. Maybe it's just the sheer technical standards that let them fit in. I didn't hear anybody from the crowd screaming "GET OF STAGE!!!!" because there weren't any guttering vocals, and that they were pretty into it.

[AlvaroAEM]

oh my god tosin's growls O.O

[tokarev445]

sweet Jesus that's heavy

[EvilElmo135]

Greatest band in the world no doubt.

[59fiftydeep]

man those thick fret boards u could go into battle with that shit. looks so fucking sexy on stage

[dirtyjerzzzz]

carlton plays mean guit box.

[hxcmofoal]

tosin reminds me of barack obama

[Xenda]

@hxcmofoal Don't insult Tosin like that.

[Irahanam]

great man......... kip it up

[slaveofthemaster777]

do any other bands use 13/8 time signature anymore? especially in this genre? congrats to tosin for sneaking in classical playing styles, theory, and incredible musicianship into a scene of music which is lacking it these days. so much talent. we need more bands who can think outside of the box and write music you actually can do more than just listen to. you have to think.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@slaveofthemaster777 Tool, The Mars Volta, Hella. Yep, that about covers it.

AAL is pretty unique though, and I'm not really into metal at all. Tosin is a bad ass.

[canadianbacon93]

One of the greatest bands to walk this face of the Earth.

[tomtheginger12]

Over 27000 views (which is not really enough) and not a single dislike. Now that is what I like to see, on something this bloody epic.

[SevenStringShredHead]

@tomtheginger12 dude, don't wake up the trolls

[summ83]

THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD

[drummerchild1]

It's still not better than Dragonforce live... ( ;) ) 

[megaboxxx]

@drummerchild1 shit sweeps and pacman sounds do not impress me sir.

[ElPopularVale]

this is too much fucking awesome

[ShineDrumsTheWay2Go]

Borat at 3:17.

[mkbcoolman]

I've been watching all the vids from this show, and I'm blown away by the sound quality. Navene plays so damn hard, but it's not distorting at all. Every other video I've seen, sound quality goes to complete shit as soon as the drums and/or bass come in hard.

Simply amazing band, too. I was tuned into them about 2 weeks ago, and have been in that ever so delightful blissful obsession. Can't wait to see them in Nov. @ HoB Dallas.

[MangoMan33]

@mkbcoolman - A lot of variables add up to the overall sound you hear on this video. The venue monitors, acoustics, P.A. system, instruments layered proportionally over each other , distance to stage, recording device, etc..

HOB in Dallas will be a good show. Glad you like the videos man! 

[kmmmaye]

@mkbcoolman Btw, he's playing an eight-string, not a bass. AAL don't have a bassist.

[merkaba42020]

Just un FUCKING believably amazing.

[xthaxheistx]

3:19 part fucking kills me everytime

[ecsisof3]

Crazy amazing!!!

[crimsonguitar848]

"Check, check, check...FUCKIN A! THIS SONG IS CALLED: CAFOOOOOOOO!!!" *And then proceeds to melt the faces of everyone in the room*

[TheRayven760]

HOLY.....FUCKING....HELL... How are these guys just as ridiculous live as they are on record? Pure musicianship. That's how.

[ObeseChess]

@TheRayven760 mindfuck: the record is ALL Tosin Abasi.

[cimiv]

I love @5:42 when suddenly we get a snippet of the lost outtakes from Hum's Downward is Heavenward record, but when the strobe went off early on during a switch between parts in 13 and 9 while I was trying to calculate Totients by bobbing my head I had a stroke.

[totalbrootal]

dp they have a bassist?

[Nitro487]

@totalbrootal on the studio recordings they do but not live

[ZMWinkler]

@totalbrootal they have 8 strings, do they really need one? c'mon now

[manugnauinggshtrajk]

@ZMWinkler 7 - strings lol and you're correct they do not

[ZMWinkler]

@manugnauinggshtrajk every video I've seen they're playing 8 strings, but I can't tell here.

[manugnauinggshtrajk]

@ZMWinkler naw you're totally right i was being a dumbass lol

[ZMWinkler]

@manugnauinggshtrajk lol man, it's all good.

[NoaOno]

@ZMWinkler To complicate it for ya, they only use the eighth on a few songs

[petewentzfucksmen]

@totalbrootal NOPE

[xoninmuoshda]

oh my god. my new favorite band. so so much respect

[kfizzle441]

5:22 why the FUCK aren't you watching Tosin?

[mc15msr]

Lol found my tall ass

[Dimebag08RIP]

Haha @4:26 Javier is just like, what the fuck?

[tchumpponis]

0 dislikes, thats seems just about right

[davemr07]

I love watching Navene destroy that drum kit 8)

[silentflam3]

I will give Tosin my firstborn. PLZ HAVE MY BABIES

[bulldog569]

Can someone tell me what happen to the Ridglea Theater? It's close till fall and i don't know why? Are they going have same concert there?

[techdeathhead12]

i was there!!!

[NoaOno]

From 1:54 and a long time on it sounds so off, I can't tell if it is or not! But they all play it all the way through, amazing...

[yourboykarp]

not one wiener stage dive, but two -__-

[Morain42]

"this is our last song for tonight"

"NOOOOO" "FUUU"

"it's cool it's cool it's cool it's cool... it's cool it's cool" haha

[TheJabberwock]

The middle of the song reminds me of "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

i love a brutha who says 'fuck'n a', lol.

Friggin guitar god

[guitarpanda1]

my all time favorite song =D

[supermuscle24]

fuckin love these guys...FUCK!!!!!

[mandimartinez18]

Yay! A video that shows Javier too!!!

[Spleenfome]

gotta love the false ending

[groovymoustach]

gorgeous song!

[neddomac]

1:00 YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[iviaverick52]

5:12 gives me chills every time.

[xxmvpmanxx]

Fucking amazing

[MisterAsterisk]

I love how they cheese at the stage divers. all of 'em hahaha.

[GrowlingVocals]

how surprised i was after having clicked such a not brutal band title and discovered what an idiot i was

[IandrewIsf]

watch Navene's feet, never he used both of them. He only has a single pedal.

[ThyAsianMan]

Castro looks like super man when jumping! Unlike the pussy nerd before him.

[ThyAsianMan]

Also, at 4:18 the rhythm guitarist stares at Castro and just goes back to grooving!

[ThyAsianMan]

4:18 holy shit! Castro like Animals As Leaders!

[amjan]

Drumming: 3:40-3:58 Holy motha fuckin shit.

[egolesnesponds]

all the guys on the screen shot acctually had babies imediatly following this performance...true story ...i was one of them...

[mflagg19]

Unbelievably good. In addition to having one of the best live sounds I've heard, their performances are almost always flawless. Impressive considering the complexity of the music.

[0veritasvosliberabit]

best band ever

[drokan13]

Mozart would be proud.

[PlayEvenLouder]

Poor fucking drummer having to keep up with this!

[Th3Bl4ckDah1ia]

I love how Tosin has the ability to scream but chooses to bless us with his fingers instead

[Rob919Gore]

@Th3Bl4ckDah1ia Thats what she said....

[WTFuneral]

@Th3Bl4ckDah1ia he wasnt screaming dude. 

[CaptainCraniumMusic]

@Th3Bl4ckDah1ia Its not really a scream, it was a low end growl. But I agree, sure as hell obliterates me...

[Redboyjp]

LOL funny how he had to metal scream to save the crowd

[RJG322]

video and music = amazing

1:48 = TOOL

[neddomac]

@RJG322 how dare he

[AVENGEDSE7ENFOLD]

FUCK I WISH I WENT!

[PlayEvenLouder]

No bassist, interesting.

Time signatures FTW haha.

[Th3Bl4ckDah1ia]

@PlayEvenLouder tosin plays the bass in the studio but no bassist live

[xxjdubb93xx]

@PlayEvenLouder no need with two 8 strings :]

[xdarkxtempestx]

tosin is alright.

[molomix23]

I was here fuckers.

[sammycub547]

And he wasn't shredding during that part

[sammycub547]

Dude, don't get me wrong. I love animals as leaders tosin is sick. But I noticed that he messed up pretty bad on guitar and I thought it was funny.

[DRA60NF1R3]

i meditate to cafo

[sicboi80]

Song gives me chills, hell all of their music does.

[LordBunbuns]

the assholes playing air guitar, holding up the horns and stage diving are at the wrong fucking concert. when you go to an animals as leaders concert, you listen and appreciate the beautiful music

[jerryzkidz99]

this was filmed by the predator

[PlayEvenLouder]

@jerryzkidz99

Haha, mega fucking tall.

[taroabarbanel]

Cant believe people are taking away from their performance by jumping off stage.

[iviaverick52]

@taroabarbanel Yeah it's pretty lame. There are "fun" bands that are cool to do that with, but AAL are straight up professional performers that you pay to watch and be amazed.

[ytsephill]

5:14 my balls drop

[sammycub547]

6:20 - 6:35 = major fail on guitar

[DRA60NF1R3]

@sammycub547 have u ever tried shredding with a bright ass strobe light? its super fuckn hard.

[biocideband]

so much effort being out in by AAL and then u have kids just running up and stage diving hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mattkingaling]

if navene doesnt have a double bass pedal he has to be doing the heel/toe technique

[MangoMan33]

@mattkingaling

Navene uses a double pedal.

[Quadey1193]

@MangoMan33 He also uses the heel/toe technique sometimes

[drumtilludrop610]

@mattkingaling he does i just them yesterday

[ThyAsianMan]

@mattkingaling Its the hell technique. He posted a video about the technique on his channel

[SkylerMead]

nebody notice the drummer is doing one foot on these double bass part.if this is true,then i think i just shit my pants

[sabakun0gaara]

@SkylerMead I was asking myself the sane thing on double bass I can't see his lrft knee moving...

[SkylerMead]

@sabakun0gaara lol exactly thats y i wondered

[davemr07]

animals as leaders= the tits. period.

[Level80irl]

LoL @ teh mexican at 4:19 he was just like yEAHHH MANG

[struk666]

@Level80irl looks like a "mexican" freddy mercury :P

[ShipMonster]

the things I would do to be able to turn on the radio and hear this...... shame

[captainhampton]

@ShipMonster Oh yeah so the radio can play like 2 minutes of this song and bombard the rest of it with retarded beer advertisements? Be careful what you wish for. Let this thrive in obscurity.

[ShipMonster]

@captainhampton LOL, thats the worst thing? Being exposed to something we're already exposed to Except we'll get to listed to really good music? I'll take the beer ad's and AAL on the radio. Plus all the great underground bands like them...

[bsubz]

navene koperweis is the truth

[UrbanAssault5150]

Abasi has his own style and its amazing

[tehsimo]

abasi is on track to be the next petrucci/vai

[iviaverick52]

@tehsimo He jumped off that track and flew his shit to the moon already!

[DOwhoYOUare]

CAFO [noun] - where steaks and omelets come from

[GrowlingVocals]

my greatest respect to abasi,dude is unbelievably good at guitar

[Jazzertron888]

if i can play like them one day, i won't know what to do with myself.

[poiuytrewq95]

i didnt know tosin growled?

[primordialoddity]

riffage at 5:40 pwns my soul.

[hexlar2985]

man WTF this shit is straight RETARDED!!!!!! i love this song!!!!!

[BlueBarrier782]

wtf was freddy mercury doing on stage at 4:20

[DrDreamTheater]

THIS SHOW WAS FUCKING SWEET!

[sheister]

Yes. Yes, yes yes.

[shadowferd]

He have a Second guitarist but no bassist lol!

[primordialoddity]

Navene Koperweis is a beast!

[yetifreak]

saw them yesterday they kicked ass

[dragiona]

I love this band!!

[globalchaos1984]

3:30 fav part, but hey I love everyone of their songs. 

[chitownscoma]

bass drum sounds like shit

[Wlffangzz]

they`re good,but don`t have their place at the summer slaughter...

[jiminey6969]

@Wlffangzz i agree. they're much too good for all those shitty deathcore faggots they were touring with.

[Wlffangzz]

@jiminey6969 Huh,please be respectful,

[jiminey6969]

@Wlffangzz way to be a hypocrite.

[Wlffangzz]

@jiminey6969 I just said they were good,yep,there talentful,in other case than summer slaughter,I would have enjoyed them,they're talentful enough to make a show and be the main band,but i'm just saying progresive metal don't have their place in deathcore metal show...Period man,no offence were meant to them

[poiuytrewq95]

@Wlffangzz lol i was like WTF? when i saw them on the poster.... i think its funny that they were sighned to prosthetic records i expected them so be on sumerian records

[ujustwanna]

im seeing these guys tomorrow =]

[AnotherMindlesRipOff]

@ujustwanna seeing them tonight lol

[whitebutton5567]

I was standing just to left right out of the screen on this camera, right up on the stage, Tosin is just freaking amazing I'd never heard of these guys before this show and now I'm in love with their playing!

[tk667]

this is what true progressive is meant to be !

[Guitarman20000]

man i got to see these guys on the stop in baltimore and trust me they should have been headlining

everyone went crazy as soon as tosin came on it was appernt that so many came to see them myself included

[xxxmulletxx]

Tosin is the nicest and best dressed guy in metal lol. i also love when he death growled CAFO!!! haha he is an extraordinary guitarist and musican

[graffwriter101]

Dude on the left is really gettin crazy

[alexQ1993]

i was at the show in worcester too they were awesome

[xeverythingmetalx]

@mrmario9494 sounded great to me.. they definitely didn't suck. I was at the show in Worcester and they fucking killed that place. The guitars sounded perfect.

[mrmario9494]

@xeverythingmetalx THEY didn't suck, I meant it sucked that they were having problems.

[mrmario9494]

Man I saw these guys in Massachusetts last night, but they were having guitar problems....... Fucking sucked.

[Cephalic666]

@mrmario9494 Um, "fucking sucked"?? I think not. They fucking tore the place apart. And if they were having guitar problems nobody seemed to give a shit. 

[RebeccasMusic93]

I just heard of this band just a few minutes ago....went to the myspace, checked out a few videos, and I'm already in love!

[MrScoodles]

see you fuckers tomorrow

[HCXanithon]

+1 for the death metal *CAAAFFFFOOOOO* tosin did.

[eyehatepop]

@HCXanithon He did it in Austin as well. I lol'd

[HCXanithon]

@eyehatepop NICE. fuck i wish i could be there.

[heavymetalgod345]

@HCXanithon

It's so great. He did the same thing in Chicago when they played Soraya last.

[abhijithtk]

great!!!

qualitty also is good

[skate0rdiebra]

I'm going to see them tomorrow in Philly. Any idea what order the bands are playing in? Where is Animals as Leaders in that order?

[goldenburritoboy]

@skate0rdiebra At Volume 11 it went as so: Vital Remains, Animals As Leaders, Carnifag, Decrepit Birth, Cephalic Carnage... Ah shit, I think it was The Red Chord, Veil of Maya, The Faceless, then Decapitated.

[ffhk1]

@goldenburritoboy Loved that "carnifag" remark. You forgot "all shall perish" came on between the red chord and the faceless. needless to say, i was drinking at the bar for carnifex and all shall perish, lol.

saw them in Atlanta last night... tosin rocked hard. should've had a way longer set though.

[Skiddymushroom]

Im going 8/13!

[jerradcwilliams]

I love the way the drums sound on here

[Jordy666sic]

The drummer fucking rox. This song is the shit and omg.. what a performance!!

[newyearsprayer]

IT'S CALLED CAFOOO!!

[jBarrueta11]

They put on a great show!

Me stage diving @1:48

[Jordy666sic]

@jBarrueta11 AAL is no music you skydive to..!

[pumas89]

@jBarrueta11 emo fucker just like the gay show! shitty band

[manjon217]

@pumas89 Do you feel better about yourself or something now? I haven't heard the term "emo" in a few years... you must not get out much.

[ChinoMoreno4life]

I liked animosity but im glad their drummer got a pretty good deal in this band. Im going on 8/11 to the fest. i mainly want to see the red chord

[dreadlock89]

first
