ANIMALS AS LEADERS - The Woven Web (Live in Anaheim 2020) 

And the drummer with 3 arms.

Just saw them last night, and I don't think my life will ever be the same😢

@jeffcron931 If they come to Brazil, I am taking a 2h flight to see them

​@@J4YDEEThey came to Brazil twice. I've only gone once 😢

@@AlexdeJesusR o problema é que é sempre em SP kakakakaka

They should retitle their album "Weightlifting"

@Rob look at matt, dude.. if he doesn't do weight lifting then imagine if he touches a barbell,

Lmaooo I was literally just thinking how buff these guys are then I saw this comment 🤣

@Rob you sleep as hell tosin lifts

@@Marta1Buck yeah Matt did a webcast about a month ago and someone asked him about his fitness/lifting. He mentioned that he’s been doing for the past 7 years but with COVID he’s gotten a bit more focused there. Good stuff - More power/endurance for the drums.

@MMAtias Asconeguy Raco yeah, but still he's fluider than we could ever imagine being (if we dont practice of Course lol) but i get what you mean

@Benji *Ahhhhh yameta kudasai Matt senpai* Alright, I hate myself

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well

you can also hear me calling him daddy I would like to apologize

Time code please

Hahaha thank you!

and Tosin looking less like an American Apparel model and more like a museum curator

@@hamptonsmith7638 that’s so fucking accurate 🤣🤣🤣

@@hamptonsmith7638 hahahahhaha

Why nobody talks about Javier ? Even in what he's look alike this guy is underrated :/

My vote is for Mike Portnoy... he's freaking awesome!!

@@candyapple5227 It's definitely Matt lol, Portnoy is incredible but Matt is robotic to simply put it lol

Sean Reinert, Gavin Harrison, Marco Minneman, Baard Kolstad, Jamie St Merat, Jay Postones, Jose Pasilas too

@@billcosby12344321 elliot hoffman

I don’t know how tf Thomas Lang doesn’t get a mention. You wanna talk robotic? Anywho, Matt is bloody amazing

That second fill is fucking brutal

He always does those fills Everytime they play it live tho. Matt is one of the few drummers who improvises his solos but those fills you mentioned he does Everytime live. Makes the song way better.

Hell yeah. I mean sextuplets with the feet and the hands doing quarter note triplets over it is fuckin tasty shit

@@andyham6094 I think the deeper purpose is also a musical count off so they don't have to rely purely on counting in their head and hoping to stay on time

couldn’t be me👀

I just can’t. It’s not possible

It's giving me anxiety just thinking about it 🤣

"Alright guys so I guess I'll hit the play button on the click track and you guys just do your thing and I'll hit stop when the song is up"

I reckon i could do the vocals

welcome

Just 3 prog boys who like to vibe, who could argue with that

True and probably the best ones out there right now

@@acejacks00 exactly

That's Meshuggah tbh. But these guys are one of the best bands to emerge out of their influence

this mix is amazing!

I feel like metal is one of those genres that sound good on anything. I drove a car a while ago that had speakers so shitty and the only thing i could play was anything metal

@@Zkipee nah it all depends on the mix

What are you saying man

So this is metal?

@@walterhouse9406 well it’s not lo-fi hip hop

@@walterhouse9406 Animals as leaders is Prog Metal

Imagine having a cold an dry having to play minimum 40 minutes of that with the stage lights and everything!

If I had to guess, and speak for them, I would say It does become muscle memory after playing it10,000 times. Initially they might hate themselves but once they get to this level with a song, its probably not too bad to just spit the song back out again.

@@riccokane it's definitely no longer a challenge for these guys to pull that out BUT that doesn't make the task any less challenging in itself

@@juancarlossuarez7486 sure, but Godzilla is talking about them hating themselves for writing difficult songs.

@@riccokane I can pretty much see what he's hypothetically proposing: the guy having a huge hangover (or a strong cold) from last night out (you can have one or both if you're not careful going out) grabbing his head with both hands and saying to himself something like "why did I write this in the first place?" or perhaps "I should have started a punk band", and laughing at himself before playing next tune. Not literally hating themselves for making complex songs but in a funny way. Muscle memory is definitely a thing but when it comes to performing it's more of a "requirement for decency" than a relief achieved by accumulation: no matter how many times I've played this same tune, every time I want to play it again I must will my hands through the motions (I have to repeat the physical and also the mental efforts which are necessary for the music to play, we can't just "have the music play and turn our mind off") and the level and quality of the body's response to the will of the mind is rarely stable, since it varies with every slight change in our body's vital constants Tldr: I'm pretty sure that at some moments in their touring career they would probably have felt beaten up and said "sh*t now I have to play THIS"

And 7/4 lmaooo

Not to mention the tune itself sounds badass

Same for Matt tbh, looks like he screwed up at 1:07

I don’t enjoy them nearly as much live

It’s really hard to get the same tone live. Even if they’re amazing, I’m sure they do many takes in the studio getting their taps, thumps, and plucks PERFECT, so much so that they can’t replicate if exactly in a live setting. Except Matt, he’s a robot.

@@vextierier9938 its their lack of presence on stage that makes it boring

Me

me

Me

he is jacked!

He's larger than Tosin now

he ripped af

hell yeah, my man got ripped

Damn ssj3 built ass haha

The drive on Tosin's guitar/amp sounds really shrill. I'm not audio engineer so I'm sure that's what they were going for, but it does sound off to me at points in this song.

It look like tosin is doing more of straight amp head and javier is using his Axe fx which if youve ever had the luck of playing an Axe fx the clarity you get out of it is on another level. It's like putting sound in 4k

i agree. javi’s low end has more presence but i think that’s on purpose

I think tosins tone is rigged more for soloing than low end rhythm parts like javier’s

Javier is way more clean than Tosin

Dude matts just the man.

You learned it?

I learned it in the drums

On

@@maddexrowe8391 You should make a cover of it then, you'd be huge if you're able to successfully cover this one. Put it up on youtube and profit

@@TiTiTiTiT you're crazy

@@TiTiTiTiT As far as live performances go this is freakin' on point
