Animals as Leaders are an American instrumental progressive metal band from Washington, D.C. It currently consists of guitarists Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes and drummer Matt Garstka, having been formed by Abasi in 2007. They are a prominent band within the djent scene. Prosthetic Records released the band's eponymous debut album in 2009. They went on to release the albums Weightless (2011), The Joy of Motion (2014), and The Madness of Many (2016).

A black guy, a Mexican, and a white guy walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "Hey aren't you guys Animals as Leaders? You guys are no joke".
They just need an Asian keyboard player or bassist.
Theodore Roosevelt 2 8 strings players.. Bass is *almost* useless.
Theodore Roosevelt Dont worry all the instruments they play are made in ASIA!!!
this song inspired me to give up on guitar
I relate to this comment TOO much
bro
tosin would want you to keep trying!!
If anything, it should actually inspire you to keep working on it. This guy is good af but what you see there is the result of hard work and never giving up. Just keep on trying, fail, try again and so on and you will be as good, that's one thing for sure.
XD
It’s nice of Tosin to travel a couple hundred light years to play 8 string guitar on Earth.
Funny, I went to saw AAL in concert without knowing them before and felt like I had time travelled to 2078, something like that.
I fuckin KNEW he's an alien! You just proved my theory, thank you.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall
I'm Sorry What?
@@thegrindcoreenthusiast7293 Dude, I wrote that 2 years ago...
@@smanseau lol
@@thegrindcoreenthusiast7293 Yeah dude, I cannot believe you did this... Dude, like seriously. He wrote it TWO YEARS AGO... What are you even doing??????????
@@themacleod3893, that was a fucking joke, ok? Calm down, I'm fully aware of what Wonderwall is. And also the fact that he wrote it a long time ago, is fucking obvious. You don't need to go insane to tell me that I'm incorrect.
this guy doesnt shred, he splits atoms.
***** Agreed.
lmao yes! agreed!
+Tristan Volk Cause Tosin is fking Black Jesus
Technically...
Black Jesus! "I rode into town on an ass, yo moma's ass!"
Went to a concert of theirs. During the slow part, somebody got up and yelled "SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING!"
I fucking died
Haha that's gold
8 years later and after many a long hours, several skin grafts and 8 bionic fingers... I can proudly say I can finally play 11.7 seconds of this song
it's funny cause sweeping technique legit would cost you at least 4 years of hardcore practice so it's not that unrealistic
LMAO! But hey it's 8 seconds longer than me.
@@dr.tempoville2519 yeah I'm calling bull on that one
Hahaha!!! No shit!
@@dr.tempoville2519 upload a video or it didn't happen
Listen to this if you feel like you're a pretty good guitarist. Instant humility.
It makes me want to practice, and then makes me want to quit 5 seconds later.
The way Tosin's fingers move... Mindblowing.
Best of luck to his girlfriend.
She would get rekt
I don't think it's his fingers she has to be worried about :)
Davinder Grewal No love for Matt?
KillaTR3V0R matts not in the video it's navene k!
+Davinder Grewal I guess when he sees a hot girl, Tosin goes like… "I would tap dat, … .. literally" ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡° )
The only thing I can cover from this song is the vocals
haha ... me too
I can do the flute.
Gluon PA The skin flute?
I can maybe cover the accordion
I can stand like Tosin.
Tosin is the real King of Wakanda
hahahahaha
Almost spit out my coffee
Black panther was a shit movie change my mind
@@justagamethrower it was not shit, but was not good either
I'd call it rather mediocre. I especially found the main protagonist's character totally boring
It’s like Tosin is the only black guy any of you guys see and you just connect anything else culturally black to him
Plot twist: None of them actually know where they are in the song XD
AHHHHHAHAHAHAHA THATS FREAKIN GOLDEN!!! XD
Song? They play 3 of their hits here
Comedy gold right here
pretty sure thats why they got a different drummer, hes the only one who could have gotten fired without it bein a hate crime
Dikkie SikkStrings just couldn’t resist 😒
While that guitar djently sweeps...
Why has no one commented on this 😂😂😂
Soroosh Mhs goddammit, take my like and gtfo. 🤣🤣🤣
You know the d in djent is silent.
love the profile pic dude
@@Awaclus its duh-jent :D
Ahh great song for beginners
musicguy hell yeah I know the first note
Not too hard.
Lol
ye i was looking fo rsomething straighforward to teach my son who just started playing. This might be too simple tho i bet he can just pick it up by ear
"Cool you just got the intro to smoke on the water, alright you're ready for animals as leaders"
I like how at 3:45 the director was like "IDK, just fucken... wave the camera around all crazy like"
My dog is enjoying this song more than me for some reasons. Maybe the vocals are above 20k Hz!!!
hahahah lol xD
Lol scump?
There was vocals? I quit listening after 4 minutes.
@@johnlheneghan1630 well if they were above 20k hz then we dont know if there are any
Don't see a lot of people covering this one for some reason.
do they have a singer?
Ed Bowman yet they dismiss it as if it is not good music
cause it's fucken...hard!!! to learn!!! lol...those damn....Americans! ! from..d.c!!
There is a lot covers of this song actually
I could probably do the acapella version.
I think i've gotten a phd on something by listening to this
besto comment
Lmao
some gets PTSD
LOL DAMN GOOD SHIT
a Pretty Huge Dick?
The best part was everything
producer: where do u wanna put the crazy off time part and the insane solos?
tosin: yes
Irony much TH-cam? Immediately after this video I get an ad for some app called "Musician" that let's you "play along with any song"
Annnnnnnnnnnddd....
No
Tosin is a modern-day guitar legend.
When the laws of physics don't apply to your fingers...
His fingers, not yours.
@Andrew Levister bendy? that thumb has 2 perfect 90 degree angles.
@@digi7altrauma792 Stevie t lol
This is how the large hadron collider sounds
I know we all like Matt and Tosin but lets not forget about Javier. He's like that side dish that helps brings Matt and Tosin together.
this was before Matt was even in aal
@@bjornbridgeman838 Navene Koperweis
Javier has an awesome side project called Mestis. More fantastic djenty goodness

5 yeas ago: this song inspired me to learn guitar
3 years ago: this song inspired me to give up the guitar
This comment has to blow up xD
Yesterday I had my first guitar lesson. Teacher said we have to choose one friendly tier song to play next class.
Well, I think I've decided.
nice. I want to learn guitar, but I'd rather learn drums/percussian. my dad was one hell of a drummer.
or dream theather's the dance of eternity,XD
joey237dropdead
well you know there's a song called "the aftermath" from origin... and oh well some say that it's one of most difficult songs ever...
Oh,thanks for the info mate..
I'll go check them out..
joey237dropdead hope you like it
Where I can find instrumental version?
Biggest troll 2015
you the man omar
I want the lyric video tho
+Brandon Covington All i really need is a translated version. I can't understand a word those guys are saying.
+omarbegsoy Could be the karaoke hit of the year!
2:30 probably my favourite riff of all time
Can’t believe this came out 7 years ago already. Still remember when I heard this in high school when I first came out. Never heard anything like it. Still as fresh, will always be.
Joshua Salgado
Try rings of Saturn
Stan Donnle ...who doesn’t know rings of Saturn? Lucas Mann is monster. Check out Archspire.
This makes me feel old. I've known these guys since way before AAL. Sorry lol. Carry on...
Joshua Salgado. Yes! Archspire is fucking amazing..... One of the fastest metal vocalists I've ever heard.
Joshua Salgado Archspire is amazing. Lucid Collective!
I started to take guitar lessons for the first time in my life. My teacher told me to start practicing the basics with this song.
Good luck with that
Diego Lafuente what's the advanced lesson? wonderwall by oasis?
Ane Dijitak he told me I'm not yet prepared for advanced level, which is "smoke on the water"
***** there aren't enough facepalms in the world
Lol yeah buddy!
It sounds like math
Try listening to Arithmophobia.
In a lot of ways it is math ^^
Jonathan Sefcik and also meth*
Guitar Fingerer ah shit, you said the T word!
Jonathan Sefcik now i know what 0÷0 equals to
love tosin's guitar playing, the drums is killing it, the only problem- their vocalist sucks
Yap. Should have replaced the vocalist.
Yea such a bad vocalist...he doesnt know when to sing
probably better than James Labrie
He's just too quiet in the mix, give the guy some slack.
Awesome MVS good joke, seriously tho, on awake he’s pretty cool
I literally just heard of animals as leaders about 5 minutes ago when Tosin was referenced by another guitar player.
After less than two minutes in to this song, (the first of thiers Ive heard) I am wondering WHERE THE HELL HAVE THEY BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
That's me right now!!! I had a nostalgia trip so I listened to Thru the Fire and Flames, then watched Herman Li vids, then found his session with Tosin, then looked up Tosin, then I was like "Damn. This brutha shreds", then looked up this band, and now I am learning the wonders of this damn band!!! 😵
Same for me, watched this flying lotus song and someone commented that it was a hybrid of miles Davis bitches brew and tosin abasi, searched his name and came to this vid
I just found them right now.... I'm sooooooooooooooooooomothetfuckinlate
I like Jazz, I like Metal. Why not have both?
+garagavia and math lol
Ahhhh god dammit. I just found this prog metal/ jazz fusion band the other day but i cant remember its name. Sorry
+garagavia how is this jazz
Twolliebollie How is it not?
+garagavia jazz is based on improvisation, this music is thoroughly composed. yes, the arpeggios are non-traditional but that doesn't make it jazz. pink floyd uses a lot of freaky chords but that doesn't make it jazz
I occasional come back to this video at least once a year to read comments cause they get dumber every year
Me too, coincidentally. There's always a few sweaty old grognards hanging around and talking shit about how this music has no "soul", like their opinion has any weight.
hey say it has no soul? Are they deaf?
Speaking of. "Occasionally" ", at least once a year," and "because". You aren't helping.
Oh my God right?
+Vanish EditZ well damn.
My God. This never gets old.
Snoop Hogg Don't worry, it will!
@@studiopapa5874 2021 and still the most progressive metal song that exists.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5:24 is the pinnacle of music imo. emotional, heavy, intensely fast and melodic yet very discordant, its such a beautiful elating sound
They played this perfectly live
Your so lucky wot I wouldn't give to see these guys live
I remember first seeing Tosin start off the song with those sweeps and thinking "WTF he plays those live?!"
Anyone who has the chance to see them in concert should do all in their power to do so.
That's what you think.. Young nigga... We beez induh trap..
energysage They're playing with TesseracT close to where I live in November, I'm tempted to go see them
It gets tiring live. It's like 40 minutes of a breakdown.
Not enough guitar strings.
+Nihilfist unsubcribed didnt djent hard enough
+Nicky Sixx djust can't believe what he djust said!
omfg i djust said that shit you made???
+digitised Doesnt work when there's no j sound dude
+Nicky Sixx I djon't get it.
My friends and I were tripping our balls out on acid, listening to Tool. Then outta nowhere this masterpiece started playing and I legit was one with the music. It was magical.
can they play smoke on the water?
S.G. No one can play smoke on the water the fast picking and flaming fretwork makes it impossible to play
I attempted once. Dislocated my fingers on the first note.
what are you guys talking abt smoke on the water is easy

Yo I'm one to live and die for hip-hop. REAL hip-hop from the 90s, underground, jazzy, boom bap, golden era old school. As you can see from my hiero logo to the left...reason I'm saying this is because I'm not one to listen to metal at all and people would never expect a real hip-hop extremist to peep this out but this shit.... is FUCKING AMAZING. I can't even fathom how people are saying this is boring. Do you not see the talent these dudes have? It's off the fucking charts. If they "look bored themselves" it's because they have so much goddamn talent that they can rip their shit something fierce and make it look easy. This is like Van Halen's "Eruption" (the intense and talent that's so crazy sounds like old school mega man music on acid aspect of it) fuckin fused with some Santana. How the fuck can one not appreciate such musical prowess. Mad props yo this shit is wild.
That's wassup brotha stay up. It is rare though for people to appreciate quality music. Sadly our society has dwindled down to listening to pure corporate sell out mainstream garbage such as (insert wack mothafuckas wayne drake minaj etc.) and quite frankly it sickens me to the soul. There needs to be a major change, a revolution where the people change what they're feeding their minds because the media has more control over society than the average thinks. It's more than just music its about the consciousness.
***** Uh look at me I like djent I'm so edgy. fuck off please
Neurawr Nevermind him/her. Just a troll obviously...
lmfao what happened here? I see a lot of well minded people and one hyper ultra combo fucking imbecile talking madness (thepiratebay). the ONLY reason I mentioned hip-hop was to put emphasis on how dope THIS video is to someone that's a crate digging real hip-hop junkie. why let genres set boundaries on your life? The genre of the music matters not son it's the content. whether or not it is actually good quality music (and I don't mean like 240p or 1080p by quality because I personally like the dry recording sound) or extreme garbage.
Jay Bernal
a lot of ppl still don't know an obvious troll (Thepiratebay) when they see one. They truly are miserable people who thrive on just shitting on other people's passions and interests because they want everyone to be as angry and miserable as they are. They are to be pitied or ignored. Preferably both. Anyway, I have to give you props for being as open minded as you are, it's rare to see that coming from someone primarily involved in a genre like hiphop. It usually is most of the mainstream BS that ruins genres for other people who don't know how to find the good stuff in any form of music. I'm glad to see you can see past that and if I were to meet you in person I'd gladly shake your hand and talk hip hop and rock/metal/blues with you. Props.
All you people saying "this sucks. This isn't music. There is no tune." You guys can leave because this is music for musicians. Go listen to your classic rock and pop music.
its music, just not my taste. Im giving them a try as a band though. They definately are not bad, actually quite talented.
OmnomWeirdo Well thank god they get your approval. Fuck off, no one cares.
Koogus ^lmao
i like the band and all, but do you realize how much of a smug douche you come off like? lol seriously, you're not doing them any favors being at their defense.
Thank god for Van halen
This is my first time hearing their music.
The dope thing about this is that it actually works and sounds good, it's not just insanely technical playing just for the sake of showing off. It sounds fantastic, what an absolute jam.
Been playing 40 years and I can't imagine half of those sounds, let alone make them.
How in the bloody hell does this have 1k dislikes? Who doesn't like transcending time and space?
fools
1k deaf people
you know, after some popular music, it sounds like shit, I can understand. Not a single 4/4, no nude girls or hot singers, nothing that can catch an average man
+Norbert Somogyi To each his own, but I'd have to disagree. After some pop music, this sounds other worldly and God-like. See Stevie T's video on How To Write a Pop Song. But I understand what you mean. I've tried showing this to people that don't normally listen to music like this, and with the sweeping in the beginning, they think it's just another average metal song. And I'm like nah, nah, nah... Just wait. And then it kicks in with the melodies.
Ty Carpenter for me it's godlike, but you got it. Even the melodies aren't that kind of melodies what other people used to. For example I can't imagine a day without music, and I know a lot of people who don't listen to music at all (I'd die in 2 days)
I love the "Yeah, I know I'm a God." smirk on Tosin's face thoughout xD
I discovered this band several years ago. One night I was taking a ride home and my Uber driver plays this song. I liked it and I had the SoundHound app tell me the name of the song and band. Got to see Animals as Leaders at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco in 2019. Aside from one of the band’s merch boys sucking at his job and charging me double the price of one t-shirt by being negligent, this was an awesome concert. These guys are the real deal.
Very Impressive, but can you play a COLDPLAY SOLO ?!
lmfao
These guys can do it without a delay pedal
@@musicman6555 They cant play the solo to Master of puppets😉
Don't be so yellow
Arpeggio As Leaders.
this song is actually amazing. i don't even like metal, but whoever wrote this is a musical genius. it's really a shame that the average listener can't really appreciate everything that's going on here.
thats it. the evidence that good music is objective, and the taste in music is subjective. tahnk you :3
Hodus Maximus i'm more of a bass music kinda guy. but as a musician i really can't deny a good harmony when i hear one. especially one what utilizes such weird chords and scales. the whole thing kinda makes me think of a modern day igor stravinsky.
Noam N They're just progressive metal, not djent/math.
Periphery are more djent/math. This, IMO, is more progressive/jazz fusion
Noam N "Every genre today is gettin' sub-g'ed". So true. People hardly know what's what. In a few years, the word 'genre' won't mean anything (at least in metal).
It is projects like this that approximate the Heavy Metal to the father of all music genres, the classical music
Those chords at 2:22 before the solo. My god man
Orgasmic
I wish more bands would play music as insane as AAL. I feel like AAL successfully pushed the bar to a whole new level. Attention all young musicians: it's time to get on board.
Doing my best
dillinger.
well since every new band seems to be doing djent i think its got a bit stale tbh, in my area anyway
Kinda pointless to me.
raze101 well yeah, nuclear physics is also pointless to those who can't comprehend it :D
This song has more meaning behind it without saying a single word than most pop music today does, and this is why I love metal.
Who says this is metal?
Armand D'Isselt What is it then? Folk?
Macani instrumental Djent
***** Its fucking rad thats what it is lmao
Its actually only a song if it has singing in it :P Its k i made the same mistake before :D
9 years and still one of the most insane pieces of music I've ever heard.
I'm pretty sure that's drop H in 23/x² timing.
transcendent. what a gold comment haha
There no H note dude
Please don't r/woosh me
@@jccanizal6410 H is actually a note. The note B was previously named H. So the C major Scale would go C D EF G A HC. I am not sure if that’s what the writer of this comment meant though. It might have been just a symbol for a low tuning.
@@vr-virtualreality8875 my music teacher once taught me that this is because when music was still hand written, over time the note b became more and more known as h, because of how similar they look

Wtf haha
That has gone way darker
Lemme guess, not there.
I keep composing because I wanna be this detailed. I'll never get there, but at least my misled attempts to get here are kind of interesting.
These guys motivate me to keep pushing further. Which is not something many do.
Same happens with me !

dunno, these lyrics are djust a little to emo for me. sorry tosin, this one is a nogo.
Yeah, this is even angstier than Asking Alexandria.

Blue baby the joke

12 years... unbelievable, this song hadn't aged a day
Tosin is a Guitar God!
I love CAFO! I know all the lyrics!
Tosin makes it looks so effortless.
The Final Boss of Metal Gods.
Wow there are no words to describe how amazingly talented he is.its disappointing how little the metal genre gets the recognition it deserves
I don't get the hate for this band. As a drummer, I find the polyrhythmic drumming flawlessly incorporated into the rhythm in such a way that it compliments the other instruments and you can actually bob your head to it compared to some other beat/riff salad bands that focus on just being as impressive as possible rather than creating an entertaining experience. This is a solid display of fusing groove with technicality.
To some people (like me) it's just boring and expressionless; this doesn't make it bad, but no display of technicality or skill is (again, in my opinion) worth listening to if it's not moving or musical.
Well said. I think having a musical background may help you appreciate all that is going on here and yet comes together cohesively. Not an easy feat to do.
Regardless, haters gonna hate.
***** Matt didn't play drums on this song/album. That was Navene Koperweis.
Yup, I think this music is more for the musicians. As drummer as well, I concur with what you said Eric. I take the rhythms in as bliss. It's not for everyone. Not saying other can't enjoy this, but musicians would understand this type of music more.
The problem with this track is that it sounds generic. It's like they're not there. Like they're not saying something in particular, just showing off their skills. Impressive skills, but it's like there's nobody behind all that music. Soulless.
What shiny diamond out of the dust of metal have i pulled out here!
You are gawds. Ty for creating something truly amazing.
Three fucking phenomenal musicians.
lol tenacious d devil goes into deep depression after attmpting to play against this song haha
+legion act Reason, or just nah?
+Jason Thacker nah I prefer Logic

Fuck you tosin and fuck you animals I will get you animalllss as leaderssssssss x)
this isn't math metal

it takes skill to be that bad

Once gammor plepal
Translation: nice grammar guys
i can play this.
in my head
Can we now say that this was well ahead of it's time?
+Andrea Caloiaro What? Sterilized math metal with no soul?
Nah man. Bands like this have been around for years, this is just the most polished and antiseptic one yet.
Don't worry though, I'm sure there are plenty more where this came from.
No.
+Cx Mu - Hey, just wondering to you think this is cold and no soul? i know what u mean, some songs concentrate on the complexity and leave behind what makes music Music.. i love this song (my own opinion) was just curious what is a band or a song you would say is just The Best. I enjoy talking music and hearing what makes others tick (musically of course) looking forward hearing from you. take it easy
+Cx Mu There are a lot of bands you could fairly accuse of being soulless technicality, but Animals as Leaders is not one of them, definitely not CAFO. There is a solid beat to each section of this song (even if some parts are in 9/4 or 7/4 and are harder to follow), and each riff is memorable in its own right. I particularly love the slow dissonant chordal riff following the long tapped section and the way they bring back the rhythm part from the intro alongside it.
People, "Soul" is the most common argument used by people who doesn't know anything about music (Next to feeling). Its equal to say that you don't like something because you just don't. Any emotional reaction to music is totally subjective and inherent to a particular person, I can say that this song causes me euphoria, tension and a whole spectrum of feelings, and who can say anything? And most likely a lot of people will react somehow to this song. If you want to criticize music, at least come with something constructive and measurable.
Ok I need to listen to more of this band immediately.

Harv72b you mean right
best comment
Why?
This comment made me laff a lot
Next time, Periphery. Theyll mellow you out.
It's so hard and metal, yet somehow he makes it melodic.
For real, Meshuggah did a great work making what they made, they are gold, but Animals as Leaders are like a polished pink diamond encountered in the deeps of lake on a oasis in desert at 2km under the surface... they are unique!
Check out Javier's side project "Mestis". Pura vida is currently my fav tune by Mestis. Beautiful stuff. A little less heavy but imo as creative as AAL
Imagine if Meshuggah and Animals As Leaders did some sort of collab
_Ho. Ly. FVCK._ that would be almost too much.
one cannot simply listen to this on mid volume. it must be max capacity at all times
