    Really good to finally see an interviewer who understands theory and asks questions about Tosin's knowledge rather than the standard questions that are in every other interview... would have been better if he didnt stare at his phone all the time though

      i tell u has someone that already did interviews, it's highly stressful and when i get nervous i forget many shit, so even tough u might love the person and know a lot about him , it's better prepare yourself before and make a guide of the questions u want to make

    I was raised with all the classic metal from 80s - 90s great metal/rock bands, to 2000-2010 numetal- metalcore, I love all that styles, but this nigga... bruh this is something new, something fresh, extremely original, when I listen to him or AAL, I feel like the man is doing concrete science with the music, thing which I love so much, Tosin takes the guitar to another new level. Every note/song he plays is a pleasure to my ears.

    Tosin Abasi's left hand is a thing of utter beauty and wonder... I could watch his fingers move forever.
    I saw him a/b ing the Fluence set against BKP's, DiMarzios and SD sets and it was all close ups of the middle of the guitar and the fret board. About 10 mins in I'd completely forgotten about the sound of the pick ups just watching his hands move... could tell you for the life of me which sounded better.
