[MrPublic7enemy]

that fucking crowd blows

[Rockyroopam]

the guitars sound so good together :)

[paololaunion]

the public hasn't animated u.u

[certifiedpet]

Who loves short shorts (Tosin loves short shorts)

[MegaMikeDrummmer]

I hate it when my boom stand or clamp falls. Its always like "NOOOOO SOMEONE RUN UP HERE AND FIX IT!!" hahaha

[airforceaggie]

I guess the reason for no bass is john myung is happy with dream theater and I don't know who else would qualify

[thickpooxbox360]

The audio is soooo messed up on this! cant hear the vocals or the cymbals! ruined the entire video!

[iggy409]

@thickpooxbox360 You realize that Animals as Leaders songs have no vocals, right?

[ainsleywalker]

@thickpooxbox360 Poor troll is poor

[Dark515Rogue]

I like this mix, it's funny but very relaxing <3

[arsehole420]

hhah tosin, straight outta vice city.

[cyphr6]

@arsehole420 Gotta love it.

[nomis101uk]

@arsehole420 LMFAO

[loborneta]

who likes short shorts I like short shorts :)

[AlexMcshred6505plus]

only two things wrong with this otherwise beastly performance, the lack of cymbals in the mix and Tosins shorts, I mean seriously, WTF? 0__o

[th3flash23]

@AlexMcshred6505plus  tosin has style thats what up with the shorts! haha! and with those skills, he can wear anything,

[Sh1fters]

what a funny mix, still enjoyed it though

[MetalHead420100]

takes a lot away not having any cymbals in the mix at all

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Nick swardson, Lupe fiasco, and zack galafinakis.

:D

[FreemanPontifex]

@Jamsessionroom1337 oh fuck I lol'd

[KneelllKing]

look at the faces of the young white fat kids hahahahaha omg how come how come hes not white or fat hahahahaha

[MikeyRoberto]

I love Tosin because he's so classy, yet so brutal at the same time.

[MilosFace94]

2:26 How did that cymbal get the massive crack!?

[Pericles777]

@MilosFace94 when you beat the fuck out of that fragile piece of metal for long enough they tend to do that, lol. I've got one that looks worse than that hahaha

[FreemanPontifex]

@MilosFace94 If you mean the cymbal on the right, Navene stacks several cymbals on top of eachother to create a trash-cash like swashing sound.

[Kromhoff09]

who wears short shorts? tosin does

[chicken6111]

everyone in that crowd thought of making fun of a black guitarist in short shorts, but thought against it cuz he melted their faces soon after.

[xxSPiKeZxx326]

only tosin can pull of guy booty shorts, and NOT get made fun of. lol

[alpargm2d]

lol quality sounds like 8-bit



[korie37]

damn Tosin's shorts are SHORT :P

[AryaBara]

Hot pant ?

[orangedrone]

It's the sound board mix.. what you hear is nice and clear but, yeah it's missing that live feel.. Cymbals aren't running thru the PA so they're not there at all.

[funkyadhesive]

no cymbals in the mix ruins it :(

[adamdudas1]

@funkyadhesive Yeah, it suck

[BurnThePope0514]

Victor wooten needs to join them already

[TuGinecologo]

they need a bassist

[VanfHimself]

@TuGinecologo No.

[zabbadaa]

@TuGinecologo i disagree.... respectfully

[JamesTAEwriter]

Tosin, when I see you supporting BTBAM in London in September... please leave the shorts at home!

[UknownNephilim]

this crowd is fucking lame....

[JxLamdin090]

Did they not mic up the cymbals or something?

[cruzdrum]

no cymals in  the sound wtf?

[Kanchesnes]

@cruzdrum Its a direct board feed. the drums are gated as shit, and the cymbals aren't mic'd. so no ring to even break through the mix.

[re5xbox360]

Cymbal stand falling apart ftw

[RyLeeKing]

what a lame crowd

[neolithicmembrane]

Does tosin have short shorts on? 3:07

[SorryArchitect]

@neolithicmembrane Women's short actually. Best dressed man in metal.

[madmax18840]

Love his outfit. I hate how some people need to dress the part of being metal you know? Tosin destroys that lol

[DamageIncM]

Mega Dullness! :P

I mean the sound by the way...

This is not the audiophile stuff this band is into, but OK, not too many videos of this to be found.

[irockmyheadoff]

Damn, is he counting ???? Look at his mouth.

[borko92]

@irockmyheadoff id be surprised if he wasnt. Some of his odd metered stuff is pretty hard to play without counting beats.

[irockmyheadoff]

@borko92 true man true. I soo want to learn all this!!

[WOOKIESareREAL]

3:46 blows my sack off

[chundocho]

What guitar is Javier playing???

[RettamLacef]

Thumbs up if Animals is Leaders

[xZlotyi]

@RettamLacef hah, failed to get attention

[whitewalls1222]

nice shorts

[TheGoblinChicken]

Notice the cymbal drop at 1:14... awesome how he just kept going

[maxnewellmz8025656]

really nobody can fix the cymbal stand... major props for fixing it himself and still staying with it

[sk8ra]

As far as I'm concerned, Tosin Abasi can wear whatever he wants on stage.

[powerbass11]

it just boggles my mind how good they are.  Who is the better guitar player in this band? Anyone to guess? All of em! unbelievable!

[jacksonguitarsrule1]

Tosin Abasi:

1. Unmatchable talent

2. Uncommon modesty

3. Style

Tosin Abasi is possibly the most talented musician and artist I have ever seen, he is down to earth and real. He hasn't let his talent go to his head like most talented musicians. He dresses with style, rather than the old and generic band t-shirt and jeans. (I however strictly wear just that... :p)

I love Animals As Leaders!

[dankestbudz420]

who likes short shorts

[SamBellGuitar]

This is sublime!

[JordanKVW]

Is there a bassist playing offstage or did they play that as a sample?

[panamanian911]

@JordanKVW No bassists. It's a trio with two eight-string guitars, and a drummer.

[JordanKVW]

@panamanian911 Listen to 3:04. Javier is not playing but you clan clearly hear bass. Also at 3:55 and on there is obviously bass in the background. I've read online someone saying they went to a live show and heard bass during soundcheck and that Tosin kept looking offstage like there was somebody playing there.

[panamanian911]

@JordanKVW They play eight string guitars. Their lower string is an octave lower than the lower E on guitar. The use that string to play bass lines sometimes.

[JordanKVW]

@panamanian911 I know what an 8 string guitar is but I am saying that you can hear someone playing a BASS while the two guitarists are chugging, especially at 3:55. The bass is playing along with Javier on that part but you can tell that they are separate.

[JordanKVW]

@panamanian911 I looked it up, I guess they play the bass track along with the synths but there is no live bassist.

[panamanian911]

@JordanKVW Yeah I looked it up as well

[osiruskat]

@JordanKVW Just saw them live in July. No bassist but they take terms playing bass lines and looping effects. Javier Reyes the other guitarist is stellar live also.

[sk8ra]

@panamanian911 normally the lowest string on an 8 string is a G, so it would be G B E A D G B E if it were 8 string standard, but who knows how Tosin tunes.

[panamanian911]

@sk8ra It's standard, except for the lowest string. He tunes that one down to an E, so basically has one bass guitar string

[berserkerfunestus]

@panamanian911 He uses E B E A D G B E.

[panamanian911]

@berserkerfunestus thats what i said...

[sk8ra]

@sk8ra Ahhhhh I see, thats so cool.

[stringsofdeath]

@sk8ra

Actually its F# B E A D G B E, not G

[unhallowed45]

Sweet pants! lol

[Brayds]

Who needs to hear the cymbals anyway.

[00Ibanezist00]

awesome shorts!

[igetmoneyhoney21]

good save by navene

[suckmynose000]

all my friends thing they are shit :(

[drummerdude56]

@zero88777 When you see them live, you dont move around. You just stand there and watch as tosin melts faces

[deathmetaladept]

And check on the EMG Channel .. There's 2 live performance of Tosin Abasi playing "Waves of Babies" and "Song of Salomon" in the EMG Studio !! .. HQ Quality .. Check this out !

[deathmetaladept]

@Zombie1990

His name is Tosin Abasi .. and he's a fuckiN technical machinE ... And the drummer, Navene Koperweiss, is really a god too .. check out the new Fleshwrought album that Navene did with the vocal of JFAC ... It's just AWESOME !!! Stay Metal !! |m|

[risingskater]

Cymbal stand fail... 1:15

[DeeWKnaD]

@risingskater Dont say fail you faggot. Don't make gay shit like that catch on like Justin Bieber, The Jonas Brothers, ect. YOUR NOT FUNNY

[risingskater]

@DeeWKnaD Did I ask for your opinion? And wtf is the 2nd half of your rant even talking about? Also, if I want to say fail, I can. This is America, dammit!

[DeeWKnaD]

@risingskater Im saying faggots like you that use gay catch phrases like "syke", "fail", and "teh" are just as bad as all the queers that like Justin Bieber, The Jonas Brothers, ect. you just make gay shit thats not even cool, funny, or good catch on.

[risingskater]

@DeeWKnaD Obviously, you're a troll with no good reasoning. If it's not funny, why do you bother?

[DeeWKnaD]

@risingskater I'm just trying to help all the retards out that understand how gay they are being. You don't have to fit in with all the gay trends, like using all the gay internet "Meme" or whatever its called. If your actually a metalhead, you would understand this. Its kind of like the emo kids saying, "Yeah i listen to metal. Some of my favorite bands are As I Lay Dying, Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine. Yeah their all UBER BR00TAL and nobody understands me, not even my parents"

[risingskater]

@DeeWKnaD From what I see, you only talk out of perception. And I don't see how pointing out a fail is like the "emo kids that listen to (insert gay/non-brutal band here)" that they claim is metal. And still, no good point is made out of you. I'm done talking. You're just wasting my time.

[DeeWKnaD]

@risingskater I glad your done wasting your time. Now you can head back to your FailBlog circle jerk and leave all the straight people alone to do as we please.

[SxExMARCx]

@DeeWKnaD jeeze, i geus its that time of the month for someone, if you watch at 1:15 you can clearly see that his symbol stand failled

[glassmoon0fo]

@DeeWKnaD *you're.

[Zombie1990]

Damn this is good technical instrumental music. Whats the black guitarist's name? He fucking shreds!

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

@Zombie1990 Tosin Abasi

He fucking rules...

[WonderlandNightmare]

@Zombie1990 Tosin Abasi

[UpTheIrons1994]

You can hardly hear the cymbals.

[zero88777]

AAL is fucking nuts, thanks for the awesome upload!! looks like the crowd is pretty dead though

[ncct23]

[seetherfeast777]
