What instrument do you play?
Tosin: I play the tree.
The tree: "I am Groot"
@@untilwearehuman The tree (Now): "I am djent"
Treetar
I play coffee table
I am laughing way too hard at this.
Fun fact: The piece of wood in Tosins guitar actually comes from a wooden recliner chair queen Victoria used as she pondered about a new genre of progressive music in the near future.
Definitely.
Its quite the piece. XD
Def makes sense
@@monsun4177 j
Queen Victoria progressive...3 words combined that can't make sense !
how to tell Matt is a bad ass drummer:
1) excellent time
2) excellent rhythm
3) excellent musicality
4) awkward facial gestures
almost as good as Moon the Loon on facial gestures, impressive.
Facial gestures are the only thing that matters. Lyle Cooper is pretty expressive too.
Was just thinking they needed to replace him but what the guitarist are playing would be difficult to not sound like a complete mess.
Dude, as someone who just started playing drums two days ago, this shit blew my mind
Performance Spotlight: Morgan Agren & Fredrik Thordendal ua-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/v-deo.html
Matt Garstka is a beast, absolutely killing it in the back!
the chemistry between the 3 of them is insanely tight
He looks like he got bigger no?
•JakeTWA • covid times tho...
He can count to 4 like no other man! :D
Dude is fully quadroindependent.
Everyone talks about how good Tosin is, but you can see here that Jack Black is pretty talented too.

The band.
This made me spit out my water
Now I want to know what Tenacious Prog would sound like!
And my man Mac is killing it on the drums!
Seems like Matt Garstka has been stealing John Petrucci's protein shake.
He lookin dammmm fineee
Right? I haven't seen him in like 4ish years. He used to be a little guy, but now he buffed up
deadass thought it was a new drummer
Now this is interesting.
See what's actually happening is John achieved the scientific physical limit of "bear" some years back. This means his arms cannot contain any further molecules as his biceps are at maximum molecular density.
"But i learned at school that matter isn't created or destroyed, and merely transformed. So what is happening to John's chops every time he shreds?"
Good question, little Billy! well every time John shreds, the boost in strength is rebounded out of his arms at 0.98x the speed of light, circling earth in a tight spiral until it crosses an arm worthy of its incredible power of fusion.
I have no idea what im saying...
@@swine13 wow its make me confused yet interested at the same time.
Actual fun fact: that guitar tosin has was created by the luthier drawing the shape of it into tosin's arms as he was sitting. It fits geometrically perfectly against his body, therefor, it is extremely comfortable to play. It is also the guitar that inspired his Ibanez signature, and then eventually, his own guitar brand.
That explains a lot.
I thought the shape for tosins Larada was taken from another guitar brand
Nope, the body shape was an old idea he had, his first 8 strings has the concept. Check his channel
@@Cestariarts There's a video about him talking about the luthier making it for him homeboy
@@austinvonglahn Have YOU ever Farted before
Their guitars are starting to look like Star Trek inspired spaceships.
Hes had that guitar since 2010
And I'm perfectly fine with that
They always play Physical Education with these guitars because of the tuning
@Mike Schwab Would you believe me if I told you that ugly ass guitar Tosin's holding is $10k?
@Mike Schwab it was made exactly from abasi’s sitting position for maximum comfort
Tosins still my fav, but I keep forgetting how much Javier contributes to the band. Dude is a monster as well, just very chill about it.
You should listen to Javier's band, Mestis. Honestly, it's awesome too.
He's my favorite imho.
@@RogerLaLoutre Mestis is my favorite band right now. I love AAL but listen to Mestis way more.
maybe javier is tosin's mentor... who knows?
@@Countachockulasame! I can listen to Mestis all day!
0:15 that moment when even tosin is confused by Matt's God tier playing
that fill that led into the riff was so clean
HAHAHAHA spot on mate.
Jazz for metal-heads... or something like that. Good stuff.
Performance Spotlight: Morgan Agren & Fredrik Thordendal ua-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/v-deo.html
No thats dillinger escape plan
it's progressive rock 2020 style. King Crimson like Larks Tongues and Aspic.
@@j121212100 I concur.
Undoubtedly the 21st century equivalent to the symphonic masterpieces.
That is one socially distant band. Yet so together.
*BBC💦*
Beautiful British Columbia
Hi Indian keto guy
they're always so far apart to be fair :')
So far apart but tight as a shiiiiite
666th like here 😙😈
The memory of these guys to even play these sets is amazing to me ( playing 8 strings is no cake walk ) . I mean how do you arrange a song so well with so many different parts and timings and then write a few albums worth of even more complication ? Great band , to under appreciated.
I agree. These guys are amazing.
I forgive you
Performance Spotlight: Morgan Agren & Fredrik Thordendal ua-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/v-deo.html
I DO hate the metal sounding parts...I like all the other parts
Matt's getting buffed up
His drumming is quite a work out
*BBC💦*
Beautiful British Columbia
Yeah, beard, long hair AND getting swole af. Goals
Might be starting to hinder his performance. There is a point where muscle size can start to impede range of motion. Some of his fills are a tad rough for him.
That's just from playing the drums as he does. No Gym necessary. Lol.
It's really dope to see Javier playing so many lead lines in this video. Makes AAL seem like a far more cohesive band than other songs that were like "hi, I'm Tosin. I can shred, and here are the other guys."
Yes!
I am a guitarist but I am more amazed by the drummer. What a beast player. That smile from Tosin near 3:20 is like: "Whelp I have a good drummer".
@@Despond what's whelp
The timing was perfect. No one missed a single beat. That's incredible.
These guys are the modern day Rush. The saying goes: “How are only three people making all this music?”
Tosin be like that player with ugly items but high stat
Lmaooo
Exactly. How all the highest stat armor always looks the ugliest.
Dragontooth Hammer -DS1
When the transmog patch hasn't arrived yet...
brilliant comment.
Matt always has some new cheeky way of playing these songs.
Yeah, the extra little metric modulations or whatever they are is a nice touch
I think it takes away from the song, personally. Especially if he's not nailing whatever he's trying to do.
@@Jonnydrums413 Lol when is he not nailing everything?
A whole other level. Those guitars are insane... extra frets up on the 'headstock'??? Great seeing Javier playing lead... Matt is such a beast... I could go on Lol
This whole show is mixed really well. One of the best sounding pro-shots out there. Matt is such a dad. You never catch him doing the same fill twice and no matter what it’s clean.
Their Christmas release, "God Rest Ye Merry Djentlemen", is gonna be lit.
actually it used to look like normal guitar, but it got deformed by his playing
"What instrument do you play?"
"I play the kitchen table"
The ending drum tomfoolery had me crying I was laughing so hard! Anyone who knows music understands the crazy talent that just took place. Well done!!!!
I read this comment and I was like “ahh this guy just hasn’t heard Matt Gartska before.” Nah.... I was wrong.... I was horribly horribly wrong! 😂😂😂 OMG Matt don’t hurt em man!!!! Srsly that was insane
I think that's least impressive part of it tho...he's just playing quads. It's not that hard to do.
On the other hand all the polyrhythmic and odd time stuff that he does is just insane
@@UnrealFacepalmer the impressive part is the timing and feel itself, not the technique. Also the fact that Javier and Tosin were both keeping amazing time during that 🤯
@@Proghead88 They're all playing to a click track so that's what keeps Javier and Tosin's chugs in time while Matt can literally do what ever he wants as long as he knows how many bars he's allowed to do that for.
Assuming you've heard Dancers To A Discordant System by Meshuggah, that's also how they pull off the guitar intro.
@@TunnelJumper I'm very well aware of all that. My point was that the feel they gave it beyond the perfect notes on a grid is what I enjoyed the most. That's very tough to do while still staying to the click and not sounding stiff. Long story short, they're really good at playing to a click track and making it sound natural.
Three of the best musicians out there all in one band. Absolute power house
3:54 Matt was just like “If y’all don’t mind, imma release my power limiters.”
What's the scale length on your guitar?
Tosin, Javier: Yes
all of it
They are so innovative!
What fret is that bass note on?
Tosin: negative two
Jason M LOL HAHAHAH
Gay.
WOAH 3:57 TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY
Keeping the same rhythm on guitar but totally changing the drumming giving it a completely new vibe, sounds almost sped up
Again, how in the fuck do you even PRACTICE this song??!?
Click track my friend
@@Matt-nk2tp still
Where is Groot?
Tosin : Hides slowly in bushes...
Is Matt taking the same pills from John Petrucci?
Tosin’s guitar looks like every subway cookie I’ve ever eaten. I bite around the corners and leave the irregular soft centre for last.
They call this physical education because of the mental gymnastics it takes to play.
It's actually one of their easier songs.
Thanks so much for bringing guitar into the 21st century. I'm completely old school but I totally get this. The combination of guitar and bass techniques is mind blowing. AND yes I do own all of your albums.
This was all the physical education I can handle without a heart attack.
For those curious: that’s tosins Rick toone custom.
If my memory serves me right, its name is BLUR. Tosin talks about it in an interview to Premier Guitars.
As a guitar player, all I can say is: I cannot imagine the amount of practice it took to get that good.
How many styles of drums can you play?
Matt Garska- “yes”.
and not on a 'monster-sized' kit to boot
Never understood this joke . But if you all like it . I see it all ova the place
all of them
Performance Spotlight: Morgan Agren & Fredrik Thordendal ua-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/v-deo.html
Gay comment!
Such a shame i can´t find the lyrics anywhere, that´s a beautiful song to sing along.
Lol XD
Its like Tosin is playing a Yeezy guitar.
He playing archive fits
LMAO
This may sound cliche but AAL is the most American band right now. Three different ethnicities's creating mindblowing works of art.....together....as one
an instrumental song that make me fallin in love with Animals As A Leaders. love at the first sight
And I thought Abasi guitars from his website look weird. This is a whole new level.
this band is one happy guy, a grumpy one and the drummer
Need me a pair of them T H U M B S
I can infer that these gentlemen are very affluent in their respective instruments
The guitars have extended range (extra frets in low strings) ola built the strandberg and I believe the great Rick Toone built the log guitar
Extended-extended range. Yeahhhh my guitar is 30-24in scale.
Good info, tyvm :)
Not extra frets as much as the longer scale length on the bass strings helps with the intonation and tension and similarly, but in reverse, the same thing with the shorter scale length on the trebles. It makes for a more uniform feel and playability across all the strings and is really only needed for tunings well below the standard, hence the term extended range. It avoids the sort of hassle that tuning a 24 3/4" scale guitar down a 4th or 5th involves. I probably sound like a dick but I'm a lovely bunch of guys really.
Three freakin' monsters from God knows where - I always have to listen to their songs at least twice because the first time through, I'm too stunned to hit the "like" button!
One of the most talented bands to ever play. Drummer is so good.
More like Matt Girthska. This dude is looking good and sounds even better!
I kinda wish they had a bass player just so I could have another musician in this band to blow my mind
If you aren't familiar already, The Omnific is kinda the increase of AAL. Two bass, drums, no guitar. Super good. Not as crazy rhythmically but still awesome prog metal.
They don't really need a bassist, 8 strings provide the low notes
0:47 wow, love how they play that bit just a little bit more sparsely than on the record. Sounding tight, tight tight!!!
The drummer, man what a legend.
Who knew James Stewart (#7) was also an amazing guitar player....
Drops obscure motocross reference.

@@loganvanantwerp3659 HAHA!! Stewart's face is currently burned into my retina since he came out of nowhere this past weekend to show up at REDBUD!!!
It's insanity. Modern day jazz metal. So fucking awesome!!! Every song impresses me. Very complex. Very progressive. And they are amazing without vocals. Don't need em when you can write songs like this. People at job sites hear these guys n love them right away.
how can Javier and Tosin focus with Matt Garstka doing that behind them I'd just stop and watch
Thats why they have clicks in their ears^^
Dude, Matt tossing in the half-time and the pauses at 0:48 was *INSANE.* It made the funk heavy!!
That’s no guitar. It’s a space station.
Twister reference??
@@storageunit2683 star wars reference
This is the best I have seen them play this track. Takes some insane chops all around.
Host: "So what are you gonna be playing for us tonight, Tosin?"
Tosin: "The Bat'leth"
Damn Ryan Martinie would be such a fit for this band.
as a Mudvayne fan I would love to see that. He was one of my top 3 picks of inspirational bassists when i was a teen learning to play. the other 2 were Fieldy and Les Claypool
Definitely need to check out Ryans Jazz band "soften the glare" really stellar stuff.
Great call fr
I believe that AAL has a bassist before.
The live version of this is always so damn good
My 4-year old son and I have been binge watching AAL videos. He asked me to writ ehte following comment:
"This song is a hot punk sound!"
(his education of genres is ongoing)
punk and metal DO SUCKS
It appears my man Matt's taking this song dead seriously
incredible how the music evolves over time! Definitely feeling the meshuggah mentality coming out of this trio in the live setting
Don't know what's more impressive..Matt's Drumming or his new bulked up body & hair flips
It's been said obviously but dude the drummer is a talent. Keeping a count with all that is another level of amazing 👏 🙌 👌
Damn Matt’s been hitting the weights! Looking swole af
These drums are unreal and this band is totally rad!
Dude, Matt killed it
🥁 so awesome \m/
My favorite band of all time!
Dear Sumerian Records I know that this is awesome and can you please give us access to the
"Animals as Leader Live July 9th (Livestream)"
I caught a part of it after getting from work and wanted to watch the whole thing again, please!!!
Tosin is to music what James Stewart was to riding a dirt bike, out there on the fringes where greatness is made.
How many rounds can Tosin's guitar hold?
That strandberg with the extra 2 frets up top is lust-worthy
I miss live shows so much.
Get used to it. The powers that be will do everything in their power to make sure we arent gonna be able to enjoy stuff like that for a very long time or even again at all.
Tosin's guitar is badass. This shit must be worth more than me.
Thought they had a new drummer until i heard some fills and then saw the classic facial expressions. lol
that drum solo is spot on. counting the measures from the last point the beat was in line, to the point where it aligns again, it's just... insanely accurate. Really worth counting it out, through the diverging part of the drum solo, through to the end. Blows my mind. Needless to say, but I can't help it: Spectacular, capital S.
Ricky Gervais is killin at the drums!!
The clean section is so beautiful
Where's the dodgeballs?
Don't forget about the bully too.
I dunno Darth Vader, you tell me.
My new favorite song....I'm bringing the big stereo back out to the shed for some max volume time!!! Love that tune....
The fill at 3:40 is actually illegal in 38 different countries worldwide.
Do you know why?
@@david3767 Because it's just too damn lit son.
It's interesting to watch folks constantly trying the pick the band apart by pointing out individual talents (which is absolutely stellar, btw). They're missing the point of the overall unit. I think each member very likely would praise the skills of the others. The band is great because each one is phenomenal.
"Hey Tosin, what guitar do you play?"
Tosin: yes
How weak and gay is this comment?
Answer: Yes
Finally a proper drum mix in a live version
Djent level over 9000 🔥🔥🔥
Such original melodies & time signatures.
Tosin's guitar looks like it was made out of the leftover chunks of wood from some furniture project.
HOLY SHIT I thought they had a new drummer, way to go Matt, he looks badass.
You need a mathematical equation in your head to bang your head to this song.
this song is 4/4
i can still head bang to this
Three best in class musicians right here
0:14 that modulation had tosin look into the future
haha that one at 3:16 was pretty cool too with the camera and sound shift to the section B of the riff
Lmao!
Just genious! A mix of DT, Rush and Fates Warning..... à big deal! I Love this!!!!!
The government: 3-metre distance protocol
AAL: Yes, sure
Leaders of us animals because they make this song look easy...insane!!!
Matt Grtska looks like a different person i guess..
And also, I like Tosin's new guitar..
that guitar is not new. saw it at namm like 5yrs ago.
Had the chance to see them twice already, feeling blessed for that!!!
some enchanted wood Tosin be playin there
I knew 1:48 had to be the bass. Ive seen the covers individuals have done, and I guess they assumed it was the part of the guitar?
