RIGGED: Animals As Leaders | GEAR GODS
Музыка
On today's episode of Rigged, we went backstage to talk to the guys in Animals As Leaders! Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes, and Matt Garstka all take us through their live rigs (from memory, nonetheless!) and show us the goods that go into making them sound so massive in a live setting.

Maybe because there's way less gear than in Tosin's segment since his into pedals now and Javier stays with Axe Fx and there isn't a lot to say about it unless he explains his presets which would e way too long. However, it felt like it was too fast.

These guys are insane live. Saw them live for the first time on Tuesday and I still can't believe what I witnessed
Can’t wait for the next album!! I got to see the show at the Mayan and it was fantastic
I DONT KNOW JACK ABOUT DRUMS MUFUFUFUFUF on the real, put some respek on abasi's name for choosing to run a pedal board as opposed to an Axe FX. like that to me is just old school cool and shows he really has a passion for understanding his tone.
I can't get over Matt's voice 🤣 the dude's a monster on the drum kit, yet he chill af .

Andrew Sutton he didn’t really get robbed so Much as it seems he just didn’t talk about it much. From what I’ve seen he’s kinda accepted that he’s “tosin abasis second guitar player” despite the fact that he’s amazing. Also with an ax effects, unless he went into every single tone he has, it’s really hard to go further into. With tosin, he uses everything in different combinations, so he can just say the puzzle pieces without having to go into every perturbation that he likes.

On the 2017 Premier Guitar rig rundown Tosin Abasi has the same rig minus the Bogner Amp that is used around the back of stage for monitoring but on his pedal-board instead of the Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, he was using an ISP Technologies Decimator II G - String Pedal. Anyone know why he switched to using the Boss instead?

If you are from Atlanta, you will know what I mean, but there is an accent that people from Atlanta have when they aren't southern sounding, and Tosin has it. I feel like I've met him and had conversations with him and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know. ATL boy.

Like not just the accent but even the timbre of his voice is the same -tripped me out haha

Every time I get depressed about the state of modern rock/metal...hell music in general, I just think about guys like Tosin and it gives me hope. Real music, that is the pursuit of creating something for the purpose of resonating with other people isn't completly dead yet. And actually perfecting the art with years and years of practice all for the end goal of writing something that excite you to hear and know you wrote/played it. Your not a musician if your just mashing together samples. Sure if your playing drums or guitar with samples over it then that's real music and just another creative tool but man music is not what it used to be. But we have Animals as leaders. I guess it's more about quality then quantity. And I still find bands I like. I was late to the party and just discovered sunny day real estate which was awesome and tool finally put out their new record. Even new songwriters with real talent still exist like Phoebe Bridgers. Anyways, love these videos. I started playing guitar in the 90s after hearing Chuck Berry as a 6 year old in 96 and finding my calling(my dad was much older then most fathers and always played the classics on the weekends or at night). Then i learned to play by playing Nirvana(which taught me that if you really develop your artistic ideas you can make something great out of minimal skill but it still takes hard work) and when that got too easy I played increasingly more difficult songs over the years then started focusing on theory. I feel like I just read about theory for 10 years before it all started clicking, lol teaching yourself isn't all it's cracked up to be sometimes. I feel like kids don't have those bands to motivate them these days which will really hurt music in the future. But at least they have all the old stuff.
You should add a little bgm to these videos.
