I love how genuine this feels, the interviewers nervousness feels relatable, feels like he’s actually meeting the people he listens to and looks up to.
For such a technical guitarist tosin is very emotional in his approach. He’s one of the greatest of our generation and all time. He needs to be more celebrated. The things he’s done with the instrument is just staggering.
@@darthhull85 Hendrix def was not the best, hes up there but Mcglaughlin and countless other jazz guitarists were far better and he knew. Jimi was wildman with a fuzz box and loads of heart.
@@thekitsunewavefunctionband7168 ahh, but mass effect on listeners isn't always about just technical skill; flare and emotion play a big part too, not that i prescribe to "bests."
I like this dude. I want him to get excited about my life... like “WOW what is that? Is that toast? Oh hey we got a little bit of what looks like jelly on that. Super cool. Right on.”
"So looks like you've got butter AND jelly on there. That is CRAZY! Cuz like a lot of guys would only have one or the other, but you've got like both. Wow man!"
wow! Man you even cut the crust! That’s awesome dude. Are you kinda one of those guys who likes to burn their toast a little? I’m just curious cause people do that sometimes.
Eddie Raccioppi tosin said a lot of his favorite parts of AAL songs have been javiers. his favorite song on The Joy of Motion is para mexer, which javier came up with.
Love that Tosin and Javier, along with being incredible players, are also really nice down-to-earth guys. Perry knows his stuff and I enjoyed seeing his amazement them both play. Watching this was a pleasure.
Fucken Ormbsy mate get one. I done got an Sx-7 6 months ago and its the best bloody guitar I've ever played its literally ridiculous. I'm wet just thinking about it everyone buy one just do it trust me for real like 100%
I mean, it's chill for Perry. He does do his usual 'twitchy' thing a few times, but he is mostly calm this rundown. The "that's a pretty dank pick you got there" had me rolling.
First interview of his that I've seen and thought it was great! Although the imaginary football kicking/shaking out a fart thing he does is pretty distracting
I don't listen to Animals as Leaders, but this guy is something else. Also just realized this video is an hour long. It was a quick hour and I'm sad it ended.
I met Tosin in 2014 and he was just as nice and chill as he seems here. He stood and talked to me and a friend for 10-15 minutes like it wasn’t a problem for him and he just finished his show. Great dude and great player.
I almost feel like an hour isn't enough time to listen to Tosin talk about his rig and input on gear. The guy is a musical genius and the most innovated musician by far in music today. I feel like his craft is continuing to grow and hasn't hit that skill wall yet. I will forever be a fan of this guy. He's one of them artist, you can not wait to see what's next for him.
Woah, Tosin that type of guy who starts randomly talking about naturally aspirated V12's on fast cars while in the middle of a conversation about amps!
Really cool to see an artist get into something different and really take it somewhere and make it their own. There are a billion of us playing essentially the same guitars and playing essentially the same music with those guitars. Whether you appreciate or like Tosin's music or not you have to admire the man's quest for his unique strain of music.
Got to meet tosin and nick johnston during a guitar center tour; both insane players, we are all fortunate to be living during this guitar renaissance!
my fave part of the video is where Tosin plays like 700 riffs each from different songs over the last 10 years of the band like AYOOOO I rememba that one
Tosin has to be one of the greatest guitarists I’ve seen... His right hand, that thumb... plays it like a damn pick. He literally can sweep pick with his damn fingers at the speed of light, and his chord intricacies are bonkers, so delicate. Oh yeah, he plays like he does it in his sleep, no struggle whatsoever. Freaky...
Tosin is such a creative guy and it really shows in everything he does. Love his style and we needed a great guitar god for kids to look up to these days.
So much respect for Tosin Abasi. Such a monster musician, at the same time such a huge guitar nerd, and just seems to happy to be talking about his passion. What a legend.
My God, Tosin Abasi, is one of the greatest guitarists of our generation. Talks like he's your best friend and is soo nice, what a humble human being! 🙏🙌🤘
Not crazy about what he plays, but i love how he is taking his style somewhere. We need that for guitar. My problem is i saw Stanley Jordan in 82-83? in a jazz bar in milwaukee when i was a sophomore. So the technique has been around . But he has commitment to his style. And i like how equipment is being developed alongside what he is doing. Great stuff
this guys clearly pretty talented. awesome + generous how he does the rig rundown himself rather than his tech, plus demo-ing every pedal. thats really cool.
Best episode in a good while. PROPER interesting in the hows and whys. There's always some gems on rig rundown but most of the time my rig would make for a far more interesting vid when it's more unoriginal simple pairings of vintage things (tasty as they look and sound regardless!). This has plenty of unexpected, interesting, along with good sound examples. :D
Yk what’s so funny, is that I’ve seen these videos in my recommended for years, but now as I get into more music I see the same videos I’ve seen forever but I get excited like they just dropped 😂😂
Honestly, (though I'm a fellow tap-style guitarist) Animals As Leaders aren't really my style-but I totally bought a Bonger Harlow after watching this rig rundown. "It's a compressor for people who don't like compression." Got the wood-covered one, so thanks rundown folks. Now I need to see a AAL show to hi-five Tosin and Javier and thank them for improving my tone. :)
Love this interview, most of the times the interviewer just dont know the things and cannot dig deeper into the artist's rig, or missed out something. This guy clear know his things, kudos
B_Ontic I would honestly love if these kind of videos focused also on drums and whatever lies behind their show (backing tracks, lighting rig, ecc..), but coming from a channel called "Premier guitar" I can't really blame them, I guess :-D
Being a gearhead myself, I truely love seeing bands like animals and Periphery so in tune with their gear and the exact specs of everything. I’m a drummer so I know all the ins and outs about drums and not so much about guitar but learned a lot just listening to tosin and misha speak of their gear. But Garstka and halpern are both super in tune with their drums and gear as well. They each know the exact specs of their shells, what kinda shells, the hardware technology and the cymbals they pick out is specific for exactly what they want and need in this music. You will be surprised how many bands don’t know shit about their gear and just play whatever is in front of them and if someone asks what gear they are using they just take a guess and try to read it right off the gear lol. Not necessarily a bad thing but love seeing musicians and bands like this who know exactly what they are talking about and these are the artists that companies love to endorse cause they are also helping sell their products. Garstka is the reason I bought tama Starclassic BB birch Bubinga hyperdrive kit with the new updated hardware brought down from the star drums and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Best sounding and looking kit I’ve ever heard or played on with the best hardware and mounting technology ever created.
Kind of interesting seeing him essentially ditch the AxeFX and Fractal for a tube amp. Not seeing many people going that way. More in the heavier genres seem to be going digital and not back to analog.
Agreed. Saw them with Periphery in Grand Rapids. I had heard the guys in Periphery say they still used amps on stage for the people in the front so I had assumed AAL did the same and that's why I was seeing amps on stage, but I had no idea that they were using them to this degree.
I think digital modeling amps are appealing for their consistency and ease to transport. Imo any guitarist would take real tube amp and big cab rigs if they could afford it. If anything, it's a sign that he's becoming big enough that he can bring what he wants.
Ben Adams the modeling thing is a huge money saver for touring musicians that pay a fortune in shipping. .that's the main draw in using Kemper and fractal. But for studio or when you want to get the better tone, there's no substitute for cranking a valve amp..
@drdoobie420 I was super bummed about it when I found out. And from what a few people have told me, the Abasi guitar are not worth their price tag at all.
Unbelievable guitarist!! Perrys face when he starts running round the neck!! There are some amazing players out there but these guys are up there with the greatest ever for sure!!
He seems like a nice down to earth guy i would love to meet him personaly and have a signature from him. probably the best guitarist in this generation right now.
Although I'm more of a blues player, this is so inspirational! The guitars, the amp setup. LIKE IT VERY MUCH! I also use a Morgan 20 watt amp for totally different types of music, so cool to see and hear that this amp just takes every style really well.
my personal favorites were "i prefer bolt ons because they sound more snappy... i mean ive never compared them but thats the consensus" and "well it's a powered pickup not active".
I once had a dream I made Tosin an 16-string guitar (8x2 with octave strings like a 12-string) and as soon as he got his hands on it one of the octave strings broke ;-;
Such a cool guy to share a breakdown of his gear with everyone. He mentions Regi/victor wooten as being an inspiration for him. If anyone doesnt know who they are. Seriously check out some vids of them playing bass. Crazy stuff. Like the kings of slap technique
Not even a big fan of the band, just love hearing about Tosin's gear. So interesting and also he seems such a nice guy. Also the playing is pretty great
TOSIN IS A MAD SCIENTIST. I MET HIM AT A MEET AND GREET IN OAKLAND CA, A FEW YEARS AGO AND HE IS REALLY DOWN TO EARTH TOO. ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS EVER.
I heard in an interview that the fractal was used out of necessity when starting out and now that they have the luxury of a full setup, they're taking advantage of it.
This really makes sense. I own EVH 5150 and a 4x12 but I switched to Helix LT because everytime I go to play a gig I'm the one carrying the gear. If I had crew carrying my stuff I'd use amps and pedals.
wow, just goofing around in a cold room, amazing, I am actually afraid to listen to this band, no way I can play an 8 string my fingers are too short, look at Hendrix and Vai's hands, no amount of practice can give you that edge. Tosin has to be one of the most innovative and amazingly different guitarists on the planet. I love the wicked stuff mid way with the Strymons gesssshh how does he do that complex stuff???
After watching this Rig Rundown and the one they did with Chon, I am slowly falling in love with Ibanez's clean tones. The highs are bright, the lows are warm, it's just great. Also, every single time Tosin started demoing a new distortion/drive pedal, my heart melted. He gets some of the best metal tones I've ever heard!
Tosin is definitely an innovator on guitar, his playing blows my mind. I've been trying out high gain heads lately and ended up going back to my OD pedal in front of a clean tube amp. Watching Tosin's part of this video confirms makes me feel that my preference for this type of set up is right, even if hoards of guitarists try to tell me otherwise.
I'll be honest...as much as I love the dirty channel on my Dual Rec, I often prefer pedals. There's just something about them that seems to work better for me.

LOL....you beat me to it! @ 24:28
Yeah I thought the same thing it was funny man these cats can play
He played the first chord of a contortionist’s song aha
For such a technical guitarist tosin is very emotional in his approach. He’s one of the greatest of our generation and all time. He needs to be more celebrated. The things he’s done with the instrument is just staggering.
Tyler Jacobson but even tosin says that javier reyes is the better guitarist of the band.
Abraham Garcia What, do you expect him to say he’s the best? Hendrix thought he wasn’t the best and yet he’s regarded as the best.
@@darthhull85 all opinion but yeah i get yas

Ron Padgett breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Wtf you guys are great😂
Just realized that Javier plays some of my absolute favorite parts from AAL, crazy.
Eddie Raccioppi tosin said a lot of his favorite parts of AAL songs have been javiers. his favorite song on The Joy of Motion is para mexer, which javier came up with.
SAME here
Tosin seems like he would be a great college professor
He even said once that if he didnt do guitar as a career he would have moved to europe and become a philosophy professor.
He's such an interesting and unique dude I would listen to him. Maybe when he's 50 he will transition lol
Very articulate in his words. Sincere and genuine , down to earth . I’d love to play guitar with him and just have a convo with him
@@bryanmerritt1812 I find it quite sad that such a normal, down-to-earth conversation like that is becoming rarer these days.
Is that your professional opinion?Haha!
Love that Tosin and Javier, along with being incredible players, are also really nice down-to-earth guys. Perry knows his stuff and I enjoyed seeing his amazement them both play. Watching this was a pleasure.
I'm not worthy ×10
0:36 What a save.
what!!!! damn. Impressed.
I mean, its Tosin, he is not human bro. Legendary as always
I wonder if Tosin likes to drink Robitusin?
I got laid doing that once!
The SMILE on that guy when Tosin plays...
and I'm like THE FUTURE IS NOW what a trip, good times, buy an ormsby.
el-usnk @28:09 ya mean? This was such a killer rundown wasn’t it? 🙌🙌
That 8 string strat will haunt my dreams forever, so cool!

This is Perry Bean's best interview in 2017 😊 so chill and makes you forget this is one hour interview
I mean, it's chill for Perry. He does do his usual 'twitchy' thing a few times, but he is mostly calm this rundown. The "that's a pretty dank pick you got there" had me rolling.
First interview of his that I've seen and thought it was great! Although the imaginary football kicking/shaking out a fart thing he does is pretty distracting
His body language makes me uncomfortable like when someone terrified of public speaking presents in class
I forgot that I watched this for an hour until I scrolled down and read your comment.
Yeah, but... an hour worth of rebecca dirks wouldn't be that bad.
These guys are badass for explaining everything, fantastic artists. Thanks to premier guitar as well.

These "Rig Rundown" interviews are so damn awkward. But, for some reason, I still can't stop watching them.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

Premier Guitar I'd glad it worked out this time. Thank you, PG!
Just when I thought I was done building my pedal board, Tosin has to go and screw it all up!
That's awesome! Definitely going to have to be my next buy. I got a chance to hear it at NAMM on his board and it sounds massive.
@Jack Nicholson right on. As soon as I heard how nasty that tone got, my immediate reaction was "I need this pedal"
It took a whole hour to go through all of the gear of a three-piece. That's impressive.

I just learned about Tosin today. Wow! He is one articulate and nice guy. He speaks as well as he plays! God bless him.
Javier is so talented and amazing as a player and yet really humble
i really dig his mestis project

One of the best guitarists of our time should be a household name. What a sick rig I want it! Top Rig Rundowns for sure
Best episode in a good while. PROPER interesting in the hows and whys.

Rig Rundown kind of died when Rebecca Dirks left. She legitimately asked the right questions.
Yk what’s so funny, is that I’ve seen these videos in my recommended for years, but now as I get into more music I see the same videos I’ve seen forever but I get excited like they just dropped 😂😂
Javier “Why do we right it so hard” Reyes
Tosin communicates with his mouth, his fingers, and beams directly from his brain into yours. Amazing!
"I call it like whale sex sounds or somethin"
"Yeah, yeah. Sure"
there are many noises that can be made in music that i would refer to as whale sex. That deep, mysterious, mind bending whale sex.
The best Rig Rundowns are when the artist play the rig! Thank you premier guitar.
Honestly, (though I'm a fellow tap-style guitarist) Animals As Leaders aren't really my style-but I totally bought a Bonger Harlow after watching this rig rundown. "It's a compressor for people who don't like compression." Got the wood-covered one, so thanks rundown folks. Now I need to see a AAL show to hi-five Tosin and Javier and thank them for improving my tone. :)
Honestly, Perry's my favorite because he asks the questions that I'd ask, keep it up

"It's cool to see what the country guys are doing..."
As a bluegrass musician, this was the LAST thing I expected Tosin Abasi to say.
It’s amazing to see these guitar parts you know and love outside of the music. The True Tone from the guitar to pedals to amp is just amazing...
Sad we didn't get to see Garstka's drums but other than that, wonderful rundown. Fingers crossed you got an updated Periphery one as well.
Next. Week.

Tosin is super generous. Excellent rundown, thanks!
1:00:17 The look on Javier's face when the interviewer says that the newer songs sound more "musical" than the old stuff.
I've never heard a guitarist speak so articulately about his instrument. Fascinating.
I can't wait for those Abasi signature guitars to come out. Instantly ordering.
If Ormsby GTR models were out id instantly... oh wait they are and I did.

I don’t care for Animals As Leaders music, but one can not deny how amazing Tosin is!
Did you guys get to run through periphery's rig as well?
Next episode!
When's that coming out?

Where it be!
Such a cool guy to share a breakdown of his gear with everyone. He mentions Regi/victor wooten as being an inspiration for him. If anyone doesnt know who they are. Seriously check out some vids of them playing bass. Crazy stuff. Like the kings of slap technique
Not even a big fan of the band, just love hearing about Tosin's gear. So interesting and also he seems such a nice guy.
Also the playing is pretty great
Stephen Owen yeah I don’t have a lot of patience for the band itself but this guy is clearly a wizard
Jason Litherland I am mixed. I find it a bit oppressive to listen to but the clean stuff Tosin does is just too good to be true.
Randomly decided to check out this rig rundown, I can now say i'm a fan of Animals as Leaders.

@@johannrajan3279 It's Obzen. Listen from 3:02. I agree that "Our Rage Won't Die" sounds similar.
TOSIN IS A MAD SCIENTIST. I MET HIM AT A MEET AND GREET IN OAKLAND CA, A FEW YEARS AGO AND HE IS REALLY DOWN TO EARTH TOO. ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS EVER.
Interesting to see Tosin and Misha abandoning Axe FX II for traditional tube amps when they were the main ambassadors for Fractal for many years.
Way to copy the comment before yours.
you new to consider the money that comes by being sponsor to..
I heard in an interview that the fractal was used out of necessity when starting out and now that they have the luxury of a full setup, they're taking advantage of it.
This really makes sense. I own EVH 5150 and a 4x12 but I switched to Helix LT because everytime I go to play a gig I'm the one carrying the gear. If I had crew carrying my stuff I'd use amps and pedals.
Misha is still using Axe fx on tour. Everyone in Periphery is
Javier and Tosin are equally talented, kind of insane where a band can exist with two monster players
"You wanna hear how well it's working?" LMAO
That was great!
wow, just goofing around in a cold room, amazing, I am actually afraid to listen to this band, no way I can play an 8 string my fingers are too short, look at Hendrix and Vai's hands, no amount of practice can give you that edge. Tosin has to be one of the most innovative and amazingly different guitarists on the planet. I love the wicked stuff mid way with the Strymons gesssshh how does he do that complex stuff???
"That's a pretty thicc, uhh... dank little pick you got there!"
...i don't, why
Jerru T H I C C D A N K T O N E Z
What are you saying?
Ron Padgett im sorry sir Y O U A R E D A N K E N O U G H
I think he was trying to play along with Tosin saying "dope". Cause weed is tight, maaaaan.
then quickly changes the subject to pedals 😂
I love that he couldn't help but ask about the thump technique. Its such an alien sound.
20:36 REEEEETURN TO THE EARTH, just kidding with that chord.
MatheusWallace ah totally does sound like it haha
hahaha that's what I thought he was about to play
What are you talking about?
CONTORTIONIST HYYYYYYYYYPE
Vvallace the contortionist is one of the greatest bands ever
Even if you don’t really like his music this man is genius
Need a Parkway Drive rundown, their tones have always been gnarly
@@JcastroCFH their tones were gnarly when we were 13. After Horizons, the tone went down hill af
Surprised at how cool that Friedman OD sounded on Tosin's slap tone. Very cool!
I just discovered these guys literally two days ago! Sick stuff
After watching this Rig Rundown and the one they did with Chon, I am slowly falling in love with Ibanez's clean tones. The highs are bright, the lows are warm, it's just great.
Also, every single time Tosin started demoing a new distortion/drive pedal, my heart melted. He gets some of the best metal tones I've ever heard!

Javier's strat is the most wild guitar I've seen so far
Tosin is definitely an innovator on guitar, his playing blows my mind. I've been trying out high gain heads lately and ended up going back to my OD pedal in front of a clean tube amp. Watching Tosin's part of this video confirms makes me feel that my preference for this type of set up is right, even if hoards of guitarists try to tell me otherwise.
That which sounds best to YOU, is the ONLY thing that matters.
I'll be honest...as much as I love the dirty channel on my Dual Rec, I often prefer pedals. There's just something about them that seems to work better for me.
Evh 515Olll with effects pedals is all you need.
Strandbergs are amazing. They are the most comfortable guitars I've ever played, and ergonomically perfect.
