Animals As Leaders - Tempting Time ( Summer Slaughter 2010 ) Ft Worth, TX

[tasteegold7772]

love the band love the tune but the cornuto or (devils horns) being thrown in the air is just out of place and retarded for this venue

[mkehandgrenades]

i think this is their best song....

[bambarby]

do they have any song with vocal?

[sk8rsloveh8rs]

Am i the only that noticed the guitarist was black! Slavery my ass

[Mongraincobhc666]

@sk8rsloveh8rs Woah you noticed that?

[MrFrantaztic]

I want to give up music when I listen to animals as leaders.

They give me hope, because they are so insanely awsome, and they kill my spirit when I pick up the guitar after I have heard a song from them.

[aldrichp]

Moshing is so overrated!

[winnerbaby44]

navene is so fuckin awsome that his splash just fainted. 

[nothinghunt]

This band doesn't need a singer, the three on them make a storm by themselves, one more element would be more a stain than a complement.

[nothinghunt]

Misha Mansoor wrote the drum parts on the record, but Navene is taking the songs to another level. One of the best drummers I've ever heard.

[jgoldie01]

Dig the small kit. So tired of these huge drums and just hearing blast beats

[paisteguy799]

yeeeaaa metal guy rockin the 4 piece that is fuckin dope right there, thats how u rape a kit in my book

[rightnearthebeach123]

this is my definition of beautiful music

[jon0191]

This is just an idea/Opinion but damn if only they had an Amazing Vocalist, then this would be a Great Fucking Band to Easily Mosh to, Unless they're wanting to keep things as is for a reason. Regardless these people are Great Musicians :)

[XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX]

@jon0191 Oh God, you're really missing the point of the band.

[jon0191]

@XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX Well like I said, Unless they do it for a reason which now I'm more than sure that they do so yea, thanks for clarifying though.

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

the drummer is a robot alien. its true i have proof. just listen and look at him.

[WhoisTerrorEyes]

awesome crowd



[elushka6]

he sure don't have taste of appearance when it comes to (prog) metal show

but i guess he can do whatever he wants, he plays on 8 strings guitar..

[adityarao1289]

TOSIN ABASI kicks asssss...

[pandamanparty]

@vincentbright40 sabian doesnt make drum sets lol

[straussy19]

Why the fuck is everyone just standing there? Mosh u pieces of shit swing your arms jump around club someone standing next to you! U are at an Animals as Leaders show for god's sake!

[Sykmos]

@straussy19

I can understand where you're coming from, but the music created by AAL seems more appropriate to bask in than to mosh to.

[choganskateboarding]

@Sykmos You could honestly do both.

[drumeshopeth]

@Sykmos That is the absolute most eloquent way I've ever heard anyone describe how I've so often felt. Thank you...

[FunkyTunePlayer]

@Sykmos I disagree even further. This is a new form of music altogether. Us fans must take the time to create a new form of dancing expression along with such.

[caleycj]

@FunkyTunePlayer Thats called "inspiration". You are just quitting to easily.

[DahPurpleHippo]

jadrummer is a troll. Ignore him so that he will have nothing better to do than go and bug his mom to buy him a toys r' us set.

[AlexKalicinski]

What kind of fucking moron hates on Navene?

[DEAFFODIL]

@ 2:33 is there anything more annoying than cymbalstands falling over while playing live?

[MrCriss420]

@DEAFFODIL that is why i like drum racks

[br00talKidHxC]

@DEAFFODIL the drum kit setting on fire and/or imploding

[tomwweir]

@vincentbright40 They program bass and play it.

[1776Matthew]

They would sound better if they had a bass player. They sound really, really damn good now, but still...

[jadrummer110]

I said tell Navene to get a real drume set bitches..

[RedSandStudios]

@jadrummer110 A real drummer only needs one drum.

[TrashedandGashed]

@RedSandStudios Maybe a drummer from 1812....

[Mauhadeeb28]

Such an awesome drummer. Sucks that you have to be on stage with a guitarist destroying everything that is known music.... Then again.... It is probably the best thing that has ever happened to you ;)

[AshioRock]

1:07 is like an eargasm XP

[KT88FTW]

this is the future of virtuoso guitar players. right here.

[MarianOctavarium]

Wtf the drummer !? He is fucking amazing ! I don`t know why but he should be dead at this point because of playing this music lol

[Hylianmetroid]

If Javier is playing a $700 RGA8, next to Tosin's $2200 RG2228, then I'm laughing.

[Laxbronatty69]

God I love them-3

[FWKids]

there guitars are up so high, but its so good lol. what amazing players

[MarkoMaddy]

@FWKids Its actually easier to play like that. When the guitar is higher up on the chest like that it means you can get more speed and control and power into your picking hand

[FWKids]

@MarkoMaddy i know, i just think its funny cuz bands nowadays dont normally play that high

[jadrummer110]

tell your amateur sounding band to stay home. As a matter of fact Tosin....just record in the studio. Your live show is ...shall we say...meaningless and unnecessary??

You are way too good of a guitarist to embarrass yourself on a live gig..

[confettiembolism666]

@jadrummer110 you don't know much about navene koperweis to call him a shit drummer, huh?

[jadrummer110]

@confettiembolism666 I have every right to since I smoke him like a taco stand.

[confettiembolism666]

@jadrummer110 k. again, do you know much about navene koperweis?

[jadrummer110]

@confettiembolism666 All I know about him is the way he plays and sounds. Unimpressive compared to really good drummers IMO. I smoke him and I'm not even known..what does that say?

[confettiembolism666]

@jadrummer110 he's not the best, sure. still, he's a tech/brutal death drummer, this isn't really his style necessarily. normally i don't say this to people who trash other musicians - the whole "your argument is invalid because you aren't better" thing is a bit of a fallacy - but since you come off so cocky, how about you put up or shut up?

[jadrummer110]

@confettiembolism666 I never called Navene a shit drummer. I did say his drumset is a little toy though.

[confettiembolism666]

@jadrummer110 for the third time haha... you don't know much about navene, do you? his kit with animosity was perhaps more professional looking - much tighter than this one. not that there's anything wrong with this, not like he has to stand up to reach his rack toms like travis barker does...

[jadrummer110]

@confettiembolism666 Fuck Travis Barker. Where did Navene get this set? A yard sale?

[AssyrianXmetal]

@jadrummer110 Actually I was in front of Javier and that's an awesome set it's just a little three piece though. Navene is a DAMN BEAST though

[jadrummer110]

@AssyrianXmetal tell him to get a real drum set please and play better.

[MoshersRage]

@jadrummer110 he does just fine with the set he has, you don't need an 8 piece set with a shit load of cymbals to sound good...and i'd love to see you cover this...he's playing songs that were programmed on the actual album. so basically, Navene is a machine

[jadrummer110]

@MoshersRage Nope. The drum sound is too tiny for Tosin. The drums are way too small like Navene's weak arms. Tell Tosin to hire me and a real bass player. Other wise go back to the drum machine. That sounded a lot better than this Navene dude.

[MoshersRage]

@jadrummer110 i take that by saying "The drum sound is too tiny for Tosin." that you liked their album. well Navene is playing exactly what's on the album...EXACTLY...and i really want to hear you play, where can i do this? and a bass player is pretty unnecessary when you tune your guitars to drop E (an octave below a standard guitar) /watch?v=ylqVwq27sTg...listen to that, try to drum it, and then tell me Navene sucks...i bet that fucker can walk miles over you and still play a show with AAL

[jadrummer110]

@MoshersRage

Those drums are too itsy bitsy and sound like a five year old is hitting the,.. hahah. TRhe drum machine sounded way better cause it had at the oopmph required for this crap.. Oh and it needs a real bass player desperately too. You know what about music again? hahahah

[MoshersRage]

@jadrummer110 the fuck does itsy bitsy mean? i'm sorry if they're too much for you to handle, Navene tends to do that to noobs. and seriously...i want to hear you play, where can i do this? about the bass player, they don't really need one...again, the bottom string on their guitars are tuned to drop E an octave below a standard 6 string guitar...they basically have two bass players that have the range capable of being a guitarist as well...and i bet i know a lot more about music than you do

[jadrummer110]

@MoshersRage Itsy bitsy means small .. Like your unmusical non playing dick dude. Navene's drum sound is smaller than Ringo's sound by far. Cause he's a weakling...And he plays toy size drums..hahahahahaha. The bass is non existent . ask any real bass player..I have the best ears in the business and smoke Navene like a taco stand..hahahaa

[MoshersRage]

@jadrummer110 i play drums, guitar, and piano motherfucker...and just because you don't have 20 toms and 80 cymbals doesn't mean you're not good. if anything, it makes you better. but obviously Tosin Abasi out of all people would know musical talent when he sees it. that's why he hired Javier and Navene. and no shit the bass is non existent...there is no bass. let's see you smoke him...i really want to see you play drums...i bet you'll make Lars Ulrich look like a musical genius

[RedSandStudios]

@MoshersRage Lol I like your Lars Ulrich crack there ;)

[mdragoonx]

@jadrummer110 I'm sure your ears suck dick for a living. If you really want to play this ear game, then what is your audible frequency range Mr. Amazing Ears. Let's see what you got.

[winnerbaby44]

@jadrummer110 bitch, please

[PurpleNinja931]

@jadrummer i'm sure you think you know what you are talking about, but since you have "drummer" in your name, your opinion on any kind of music what so ever, is entirely invalid.

[PurpleNinja931]

The drums Animals as leaders is incredibly overlooked, due to the awesomnity of the guitar playing.

[MrMoterhed]

jadrummer......Are you still pretending to know anything about music?? LOL!!!!!!!!

[firedrake0]

superb band, the drummer really pawns a bunch of drummers out there, he can do much more with a kit with that size while a lot of drummers can't do with a monster sized kit

[thomasharmon6913]

@nailay7 that's ok, he sound like a fucking beast!!!

[nailay7]

theryre amazing musicians, but they're not the best performers.

[MindflayerMusic]

@jadrummer110 Wow. You sir, are not only not as clever as a normal grown up person should be, you also know nothing about music and also you obviously have a lack of friends and hobbies.

[youngman098]

@MindflayerMusic Lets not argue with this boy anymore, he is clearly extremely jealous... hahaha

[andrewtregoning]

epic, love this

[jadrummer110]

Get a real bass player tosin. God you are an idiot with your boring ass live band. How did you get so good on guitar by being so stupid?

[rockluverx2]

@jadrummer110 You again. -.-

[lukescriptwriter]

@jadrummer110 EAT A DICK!

[todaystomsawyer]

Best part of playing drums with Tosin: you get to play drums with Tosin.

Worst part of playing drums with Tosin: NO ONE WILL EVER NOTICE.

[MindflayerMusic]

@jadrummer110 What a boring ass comment.. Shit ciomment no charisma

Anyone else realized a lot of people just hating on new bands becoming popular/successful, lately? Are people becoming more and more jealous or what the fuck is going on with all those haters on new bands?

[jadrummer110]

@MindflayerMusic I said he was a greta guitar player. WTF else do you want? Go waste your money seeing this shit band without even a bass player??? Boring boring boring twerp.

[MindflayerMusic]

@jadrummer110 A band is not only good with a bass player o.O

Also judging a bands live performance by watching amateur videos and visiting that bands videos again and again although you dont like it, is not the smartest thing to do.

[jadrummer110]

@MindflayerMusic Wrong.. A band is shit without a good bass player.

[MindflayerMusic]

@jadrummer110 wow... That is so stupid, there is nothing left to say.

[jadrummer110]

@MindflayerMusic Wrong... A band MUST have a great bass player.. Or just forget playing live. Tell Tosin. Also tell him to get a pro singer for a few songs per set. Do it squirt!!!!

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 the guitars are the bass :P 8 strings including 2 bass strings. nuff' said.

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez Phony fraud bass? Two string bass? Is that a fucking bass? No? OK glad you admit it at least..

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 Who said a bass had to have more than 2 strings? there are guitars with 5 strings. their are basses with more than 4, then i guess those basses that have more than 4 strings aren't basses then. Watch what you say, because you've got a bad habit of making yourself look like a dumbass

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez No two strings make a bass guitar. There is no meaningful low end in this band . Accept it or admit what i already know about you. That you are a amateur at best musician . A very young inexperienced twerp..hahahahaha

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 You just agreed "two strings make a bass guitar"

I guess i got through to you then, lol.

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez  Nope. It is not a bass guitar and it is a worthless non low end piece of shit. Tell them to cancel LL SHOWS till they get a real bass player and a much better drummer. Otherwise they will stay at the small club size venues until the public gets tired of them. Which word on the street says that will be real soon. They suck live.

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 Yup you mad.

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez They suck live and you can't even play anything... That ain't nothing but noise coming from your rythm guitar who thinks he is a two string bass player??? Hahahahahahaha He sucks balls.

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 I win. You mad.

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez What did you win? I'm still here. Navene is still just ok. The non bass player sucks balls. What did you win again?

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 Yup, I've won.

[jadrummer110]

@MuhammadSweepmez Won what? The band still is halfassed and will only play small clubs. They will never have a full sound without a bass player. What have you won?

[HELacey]

@jadrummer110 omg man do you comment on every tosin video there is out there?

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@jadrummer110 I've Just won.

[davemr07]

ive watched this video every day for the past week and i cant get over how fuckin amazing amazing navenes performance is

[thenoxbg]

2.31.... f u c k!!!! è_é

[TheVocalsAreHere]

Oh no! The drummer! He's so clean live!

[bulldog569]

Can someone tell me what happen to the Ridglea Theater? It's close till the fall are they going to have the same concerts there?

[TheNecrosuN]

@bulldog569 Nope, the guy that owns the Gas Pipe owns the Ridglea now :/ No more metal.

[embatrion]

Very good drummer too....

[KingJamesNBK187]

1.42 to 1.47 now I gotta change my pants..

[josecr77]

lol look at that guys headbangin at 0:38 = lmaoo!!

[202808sYj]

its a really good songgg!!!!!!

[666bosseh666]

the start always give me chills,well the whole song does but you know=/...

[RenaudCalisse]

These man deserve many beautiful womens

[Ben7185]

@RenaudCalisse They do and women is already plural the s isn't needed. Also men*

[magnusxxx]

EPIC

[bassbreaker]

wtf? how are they so tight live? man these guys are nuts

[ruckels]

Fucking Amen.

[11Martyr11]

im sorry but the drummer ruined the song by not going with the proper original drumming.

[LKRP92]

that drummer fucked shit up

[devdude96]

When tosin solos, everyone just stops headbanging and stares

[nouseforanavatar]

is that navene?

[holylightpwns99]

spot on drummer...extremely talented

[alexaxxem]

i was at this concert, i was in the very front when the last 4 bands played,

[frenchicelandicpomel]

seriously, i cant find navene a solid drummer.. i think he cant handle the musical job. aal seems to be a work for thomas pridgen, minnemann and etc

[METALLICA6547]

as high as they play those guitars maybe they should look into getting a shoulder mount!!

[THEMA1LMAN]

the drummer up close and center. thats cool.

[Edd731]

Fucking blinding!

[IronreaverVII]

God dammit!!! I have to go get a towel, my nose is erupting blood from the awesomeness.

[crow66693]

This is the type of music I wanna make/Maybe introcude vocals but tis hard to when its so intense/But yeah.Tosin really inspired me.

[ChrisWise41]

@molomix23.....thats because you were giving the old man a hand job. You queer.

[molomix23]

i was there , I remember an old man who was next to me say " THATS FUCKING SICK"

[alexstypes]

its funny, because the guitar tone sounds wayyyyy heavier...wonder if its because they were on the SS bill...haha I prefer it this way, sounds killer!

[dawnofascendacy]

while tosin may be the centerpiece of this band javier reyes is an awesome guitarist and navenes drumming is genius!

[MrD4rkmetal]

with that kind of drummer you dont want to be a cymbals...but hes great :)

[MikePostDrums]

The off-beat hand around 1:00 made me laugh so hard, haha. :)

[BartoHomy]

where is the bass player?

[MikePostDrums]

@BartoHomy There is no bass player. The bass was pre-recorded as a backing track.

[slcoldstone]

@MikePostDrums pretty sure its not, i think its emulated on the 8 string

[MikePostDrums]

@slcoldstone Sigh. No, it is a backing track.

[maynotastheysay]

This guy have like 1% of mike portnoys drum set... and portnoy can play like... 1% of this song. Well, not really, but this is really progressive, great odd time signatures, and he does not need 10000000 toms and 100000 cymbals.

[davemr07]

Navene is one of the biggest badasses behind a kit! :D

[edthehead83]

The tapping part at 2:52 sounds SO good with the Fractal providing that synth-like effect.

[iviaverick52]

@edthehead83 Theres a reason they cost $2,400

[edthehead83]

@iviaverick52 Truly a game-changer.

[skfreak914]

4:00

\m/

[OneMustyDog]

0:35

that guy has a smiley on his hand! :)

[fraction360]

that 8-string makes that 6-string look like a toy XD

[sabakun0gaara]

Tobin's watching the roadie coming on stage during his solo not even looking at his frets...

[MiKill93]

im allergic to mangos, can you make a new channel and upload them there so i can watch them?

[Rockyroopam]

@MiKill93 this guy thinks hes so funny

[JamesENGL]

SICK drummer!!!!

[Kingtunice]

its a real shame that the other players dont get much shine. but the rhythm guitarist is pretty badass aswell and the drummer is crazy good

[derekd234]

1:56 I've been trying to hit the cymbals from underneath like that and he goes and does it in a song like this?

I dunno whether to like him or hate him because of it.

[Natesod]

0:56 the rhythm guitarist is just like , '' yeah im a boss , what the fuck you gna do about it''

[TheFigueroa007]

@Natesod Hell yeah dude! He a boss!

[djblade311]

Navene ripped that shiz up!

[guitarjo1234]

wtf is the effect that tosin is using at 2:55 on the tapping part? somebody tell me!

[knucklesalad]

@guitarjo1234 i'm pretty sure he is tapping over some synth sample there. they use a lot of samples, hence the drummer playing w a click..

[TheMetalKid9]

Not since Rush, has a three piece made such beautiful music that is backed by a wall of sound!

[AndreasZimmerman]

@TheMetalKid9 Ahem... Nirvana?

[TheMetalKid9]

@AndreasZimmerman You got me, but still AAL owns all!

[bonuzround]

@AndreasZimmerman Ahem...Wrong answer. 

[brendanvdrums]

hahaha, bye bye splash cymbal at 2:33

[Athelian]

wtf 2:39 he glances away from his fretboard at the roadie but still doesn't make a mistake :o

[TMaStAA]

You should have tried to get more on Tosin's side of the stage, great vid none the less, and they sound perfect live!

[MangoMan33]

@TMaStAA

I would've, but this angle compliments and showcases them all fairly well. Thanks for the compliments!
