ANIMALS AS LEADERS - Arithmophobia (Live in Anaheim 2020) 

Right? I didn’t recognize him at first because he looked bigger... Dude - his left hand drumming is insane and I am truly envious...so good

Seriously. He's bulked up so much. It's hard to believe.

That would be like a skillion push-ups.

The bass player reminds me of my gf

Bro

Well done lol

That's fuckin dark bro

:-|

wee persons voice, arnold guns.

Ngl, he is looking more and more like Ihsahn

tiny wooden logs for thousands of reps over the course of one set.

And often, his DNA completely changes.

Bayern Munich

same

Best part hands down

Oh! And the part with the thump. Yeah. That.

Is that the part with the instruments?

Yeah I also like the entire song

dont wanna be that guy but it would be more akin to Arithmetic (or Geometry as Tigran Hamasyan likes to think about it).

Yes and it's awful...they proove that algebra is not music, just brain masturbation...no groove, no feeling, no spirit, just complexity. Sad, so much efforts and training for such a pathetic result. Sorry I don't get it.

I knew I should have tried harder in math.

@@fredtrax4574 I can see what you mean...when I first heard them I didn't get it at all, it just sounded like complex noise...but eventually something clicked at some point and then I couldn't stop listening to them for some reason. There really is a ton of feeling in this music I've found, it's just not the kind of feeling with the "grooves that we're used to". I think when we hear a song, we often quickly develop of sense of what we think it should play out like based on what we've heard so far and what we've heard in the past and when it doesn't wind up in the place we expect, we dislike it. I've found with AAL, if you allow yourself to "turn off your expected sense of rhythm for what you're hearing" and allow their sense time/rhythm/space to take you on their journey, it can really take you somewhere else because they are really doing things not many musicians are doing and furthering the art is what it's all about! Enjoy music!! :D

@@zer0dave Yes I agree with you, I understand well the "get out of our confort zone" concept, I applied it many times during my 40 years of "music exploration" (I'm 50 now, started with my elder brother records when I was 10 in the early 80's, never stop since, I'm addict to music, really) I'm a drummer, studied in a drum school, where I met "math" musicians. I understand that music is an open field, you can play what/as you want, you can enjoy what you want. I "forced my ears"(?) so I was able to appreciate music I was not prepared for, and found satisfaction, feeling my mind opening so yes, my comment was a bit provocative. I really enjoy when I can tap my foot or move my head or clap my fingers when I listen to music...for example Tool is quite complex and still " groovy", you can tap your foot. Something is linked with our heartbeat, very simple, repetitive, danceable..."Arithmophobia" is talking to the brain, it's a very mental song. It's an intellectual process which make us learn and play complex things...and I'm ok with it. Well it's an endless(and useless) debat, sorry for that, the main point is "It takes/needs all kinds to make a world." I will listen to AAL a bit more. Cheers

Just like the shoegazers . stared at their shoes /reverb whole show . slowdive is my favorite

Everyone came where? I don't see any crowd besides the internet

This made me real life "lol". Thanks for that

​@@andrewsutton2266 He's really good but, feel he has the least flow of all their drummers. Including whoever programmed drums over their debut album.

@@orangedrone I mean that's your opinion, but this man is an absolute genius, holding it down for 2 virtuoso guitarists. And they've put out 2 timeless records that only get better with every listen. If you enjoy the old AAL that was more Djenty all to you. I however enjoy their last 2 records far more than their older stuff

Andrew Sutton But, that’s kinda a separate point from the drumming. I guess the only way to ever know would be to hear an older AAS drummer’s take on the newer material. Which would never happen. I’m a drummer and stopped listening to AAS after Matt joined. Can’t really tell you why. I recognize that he’s technically super good, just doesn’t do anything for me.

@@orangedrone lol i was really into AAL after Matt joined. the old drummer just didn't do it for me.

This reminds me alot of Sol Niger Within ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KLhSFATOhW0.html

Yup, all of them. Like "meh no biggie, just chilling with my axe "

Oh yeah Javier is the chillest Virtuoso of them all

The more complex and intricate the parts you play, the more essential it becomes to be as relaxed as possible while playing. The simpler the part, the more you can afford to expend superfluous energy.

Those lyrics changed my life forever

Demiurge - Meshuggah

U are the real hero! thanks for taking the time. Beautiful lyrics but so deep and dark. Wow

This is wrong. The lyrics say djent djent instead of dun dun

@@drperkyreal4686 factually incorrect

like holy shit man, Matt's been working his ass off

Apparently, he's been working on polyrhythms and deadlifts during the pandemic.

@@tampastu deadrhythms

#drumdaddy

What a stupid comment. Aliens DID visit, they let us live because of our AAL overlords.

David Mil yes

No, its Djazz.

@@andrepratama6468 Underrated comment

Whity band. Clever musicianship.

And it's in 4/4 too

And apeirophobia is the fear of infinity or eternity, excellent songs

Damn! I thought it was fear of arithmos, and I didn't know what arithmos were, so that was very confusing.

@@alistairmaleficent8776 what do you think arithmetic is lmao

Yeah Tosin is a gear fanatic, and not really loyal to one particular piece of equipment, he tends to change and experiment frequently

Definitely not. Check out Louis Cole. But yeah Matt is YHUGE.

I lub cookies too 😊

Theyre both guitarists they record bass separately and use it for a backing track

Something Over Four 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

Lol he looks like buff mac now lol. He even slicked his hair back lol.

Lmaooo

I mean body mass alone

Drumming while giving everyone an ocular pat down

SAME

Same!

SAME

sAME

Different!🤪
