isnt it ironic as fuck that the best rapper is white and the best metal guitarist is black

[Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshy]

The fact that they can take such an ungodly-technical song and play it live to the point where it's almost as perfect as the studio version shows that there's more than just a guy with some good editing skills going on here. This is talent.

@poratosk8r2 No not really music is universal and should not be dictated by the color of skin

[MultiFredo74]

I saw them at three concerts here in Florida ( Tampa and twice in Orlando) and I could say is that there will never be another Hendrix but tosin and Animals as Leaders are on there way to something very awesome its amazing to hear them play live This is truly poor talent

@FallenReaper6 i hate when people say that, thats like me calling every white guitarist a modern day Eddie Van Halen......dumb.

[FallenReaper6]

modern day jimi hendrix...

@NoaOno "In theory" it's still musical because it follows a mathematical pattern, but it just messes with your ears when you actually hear it haha.

[NoaOno]

@iviaverick52 I know. As it's played really fast, it seems impossible. I have rehearsed this song with my friend who is a drummer, and he nails it I just don't FUCKING UNDERSTAND! If it was on beat then up beat it would be okay but the goes between those which are a fourth 8ths SiktH something wrong makes it not even musical anymore.

[iviaverick52]

@NoaOno Once you understand how the rhythm works it's not too hard to follow. It's 4/4 with hi-hats hitting 8th notes, the kick hits 5 beats that are also on 8th notes, but only every other set of 5 kick beats fall on either a down stroke or an upstroke, and every other set actually starts on the 16th sandwiched between the 8th so it totally feels off beat half the time. The really hard part is getting that beat, and knowing when the snare is supposed to happen lol.

One good thing about these guys (other than the many many obvious and not so obvious good things) is that whenever someone posts a video taken from a camcorder - with them being an instrumental band - the audience doesn't make much sound to disrupt the audio. i.e. singing the wrong words 3 semi-tones off-key etc.

If the audience is anything like me they're either too busy trying not to cry, or preoccupied trying to prevent their head from exploding from awesome.
