Animals As Leaders @Metro Chicago 11/26.14. Toontrack Metal Month 2014 Matt Garstka Signature MIDI Pack Metal Fusion. For EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 3. www.toontrack....
@@SKi4o5 they are technically the same but in different ways. Tosin is much better at fast playing and rhythmic playing, like thumping. Javier is much better at fingerstyle and dynamics
Would you expect any less from tosins band lmao. You should see the accuracy of his snare hits. The mark left over from hitting the drum so many times. It's literally the size of a dime with no misses. Dead center. No drummer but him does that lol. And there are a few drummers as good but not as accurate
I was at this show. Obviously the video can't do justice for how it sounded in real life but holy shit, this was the tightest they've ever sounded. I saw them a couple times after and due to no fault of their own (generally worse venues/acoustics) none of those held a candle to this one. I have seen them seven times in total from 2011-2017 but this night will always stick out to me. One of my highschool buddies was off his rocker on either mdma or some other meth like euphorant and was completely hyped throughout the entire set, really balancing out the whole snobby prog rock vibe coming from the majority of the audience. I'm personally not even much of a metal buff by any stretch of the imagination but I really wish i could re live this particular show. Hell, I wish I could just go back to being 19 again. Weird how so much can change in less than 5 years
Every so often I come back to watch this in its entirety. I think this may possibly be the best set aal has ever played. The sound and the whole energy is just 100% dialed. Love this band with a passion
The way that this specific video and venue is mic’d makes it sound like they have a bass which sounds DOPE!!!! It makes their 8 strings sound like legitimate basses!🔥🔥🔥🔥
All I can think is I don't know how they can possibly remember every sequence of notes/riffs for these songs.. like they must never forget where their car keys are...
What's wrong with the crowd at this show? Three of the most talented musicians in their sphere yet only a few people in the audience bobbing their head at the most. I don't see one person person banging their head in the front row, anyone getting really into it. You don't need a singer screaming his head off to bang your head!
Robbie Tribulan LOL YES. We are so used to nodding or banging our heads every two beats, it just feels right, but when have these assholes(only joking) playing in 5/4 and 7/8 the beat we were rhythmically bobbing our head to switches from onbeat to offbeat every measure hahaha
What a great show, they are from another planet I'm sure. haha . ***BTW: Did anyone notice that girl in front row YAWNING at **55:05** , at the most epic moment ever XD. !***
does it sound like the drums has a crazy high threshold on the overheads? some of the cymbals dont sound like they are even ringing out all the way before it closes. is this just my lack of of knowledge of cymbals?
Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome and enjoyable performance. I'm just disappointed to see that the bass has only been included as part of the backing track. And to a lesser extent, the synths. I'd like to hear what they'd sound like live without relying so heavily on backing tracks. But then I could just be a purist in that sense. Still blown away by the musicianship and technicality though.
F*ck yeah! I've been meaning to check them out, and this is gnarly! Now, I'm not a rookie, but I'm no expert when it comes to modern metal- I'm hearing a Bass but not seeing one??? What guitars are they using?
Bass is coming from the backing track. They used programmed bass on the most songs of their new album. Tosin is using his Ibanez signature model and Javier is probably using Esp Horizon.
Vihaleipä Is it programmed or pre recorded? I know that Nolly did the bass on The Joy of Motion, would they not use that as a backing track (at least for the JoM songs)?
AlexSevignyMusic Nolly only played for three or four songs and the rest is programmed. I'm pretty sure they use whichever track they have for whatever song they play.
2 Thoughts... They missed 2 great tracks from the last record.... Para Mexer & Nephele. I can't find a proper live recording with some serious work on live and post sound engineering. REALLY REALLY SAD!
prog is becoming so prog, neo prog kids don't act more metal , i was in a show a few months a ago and 60% of the crowd as full of them ,when a few guys tried to mosh pit they only recived angry stares
total kick butt band, and no bass player anywhere! Wow......if they had Stanley Clarke up in there they would be sick! But then again I love 3 pc bands.

+Jed Honrado Im pretty sure they tune standard with the 8th string dropped actually, I was quite surprised when I found that out. I thought tuned lower than that.
I watched a video displaying tosin's rig run down, and if I recall correctly, he said that he usually goes standard tuning with the 7th being B, and the 8th dropped to E as a bass effect since that would be an octave down from the 6th string. I'm not too sure how many octaves lower a bass guitar's E string is in comparison to the low E on a 6-string guitar. Google to the rescue?
Awesome drummer and true talent. Hear Matt's story in this video. We had the pleasure of streaming Animals As Leaders last November during Metal Month. Check the full show here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tZv1sf1iOU8.html
I'm sure that Gilbert, Satriani, and Vai would salute him as one the greatest in today's modern vanguard. I've also heard Tosin pay tribute to Gilbert as a great inspiration when he was a young player learning his craft. He's definitely got GOAT chops, and his innovation is without question. (The fact that he paired himself with phenomenal bandmates shows he cares more about music than top dog status. Same for Javier and Matt.)
Can't believe I get to see them live at Heavy Montreal 2016, that was one of the 2 main reasons I decided to go again this year. The second being of course... Despised Icon!
these guys are fun as hell. a perfect mixture of "djent" as some call it, and progressive metal. i know they're basically the same thing, but technically they are very specific subgenres.
+Daisy's Destruction The term "djent" actually began as a guitar tone; however, I suppose for the most part that it has become a sort of subgenre over the years (Somehow.) I believe the term was coined by the band Meshuggah, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
What's the last live show you went to? Here's the full Animals As Leaders performance from our live stream last Metal Month. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tZv1sf1iOU8.html
It really does give off this impression of "who the fuck is Javier anyway?" he's actually insane on guitar... wish they had more camera time of him. Tosin is epic as ever and then Matttttttttttt fuuuuuuuuuuckkingngnngsidsnfinasdfinsidfn SIDFN sdfnSDF. .AS.DASAFUSDF
