As a lead guitar player I’ve always admired and had more respect for rhythm players. Nobody will listen to someone just shred without a foundation underneath them. Guys like Hetfield and Malcom Young are the true heroes, and I would place Javier in this category as well.

Ikr. I had been getting kinda tired of all my usual rotation. And around that time Spotify decided to play me AAL when o was tripping balls and it blew me away. I put on their 2016 album and I'm gonna be stuck on that one alone for a while. There's so much here that I just wasn't getting with my usual stuff. The placement of the guitars down low gives such a unique texture and sound. And tosins pickups are next fucking level. When I heard the brain dance my first thought was what the fuck pickups are those. I could hear everything, and when played by this guy, that's just beautiful. Such good stuff. Really inspiring, and shakes off any staleness I had in my own music writing. Now my brain has crazy rhythms bouncing around in there.

Glasses, some leather holsters, some guns and Tosin would be a Matrix character

Javier is the animals as leaders glue ....

Scrolled down to see if anybody was as annoyed by the idiot on the left as I was. Not disappointed. His camera "technique" gave me a headache.

These guys have higher processing power than the rest of us. As a musician I have to believe that so I don't literally practice myself to death trying to get this good.

These guys (all 3 from AAL) have earned a special place in my heart for not only being absolutely amazing at what they do but also how much they do the skill and information sharing stuff down on our level.

Maybe it's just the clothes but 2020s Tosin looks like he ate 2010s Tosin for breakfast and hit the gym with his newly gifted protein.

This video is the essential example of how to answer the question "How do you describe cool?". Answer: you know it when you see it.

A mastery of two handed tapping but as a mechanism to play music rather than arpeggios really fast.you know what I mean you can't play these co.positions with other techniques they are real musical passages executed perfectly.

Can someone confirm that Tosin is indeed has double jointed fingers? It sure seems so.

wait you guys missed a note

Them stank face inducing thump parts tho

Cara mainnya kalem, tapi energinya dapat.. . Keren banget... .

:D

I feel like Javier doesn’t get enough credit for doubling up Tosin’s insane riffs. Anybody who’s played guitar knows it’s way harder to play somebody else’s crazy riffs versus your own crazy riffs.

They have a 'Lethal Weapon' thing. U know, two different guys, the best in their fields, holding their guns. This actually came out a little bit gay, but u know what I mean.

When Erik Killmonger stops by at NAMM to rip some sick riffs after he killed the Black Panther and took the throne of Wakanda

I get the difficulty aspect of this style of music, but thus isn't something I think really anyone outside of the guitar community would listen to. There's no real continuity of a theme here. Every few bars it's more tapping and thumping. No lyrics...just not my scene. I appreciate the level of talent but I think this skill level needs to be mainstream and that all starts with songwriting.

@someguy7448

well, that's just the thing. this is Djent. pretty much no-one will listen to this that isn't already neck deep in the jazz / prog scene. There are themes within the music, and they specifically don't have a vocalist for that very reason. To let the technique and the music speak for itself. and besides, when you're writing music that shifts rhythms as much as these guy's music does, most of the time, vocalists will have a hard time finding their "place" in the track, if that makes any sense.
