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.
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

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!
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 !
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
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.
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...
@@740jakester He always posts gym vids on insta these days, and he can lift some pretty respectable numbers tbh.
He can count to 4 like no other man! :D
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
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.
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 😙😈
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?
@@Jeff_____same! I can listen to Mestis all day!
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?
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!
Matt's getting buffed up
His drumming is quite a work out
He benched 250lbs in an insta vid about a week ago. Good progress.
*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.
"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.
Jazz for metal-heads... or something like that. Good stuff.
Performance Spotlight: Morgan Agren & Fredrik Thordendal th-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/w-d-xo.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.
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 th-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/w-d-xo.html
I DO hate the metal sounding parts...I like all the other parts
The timing was perfect. No one missed a single beat. That's incredible.
Their Christmas release, "God Rest Ye Merry Djentlemen", is gonna be lit.
These guys are the modern day Rush. The saying goes: “How are only three people making all this music?”
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
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
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.
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.
Three of the best musicians out there all in one band. Absolute power house
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.
They call this physical education because of the mental gymnastics it takes to play.
It's actually one of their easier songs.
This was all the physical education I can handle without a heart attack.
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.
Its like Tosin is playing a Yeezy guitar.
He playing archive fits
LMAO
3:54 Matt was just like “If y’all don’t mind, imma release my power limiters.”
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 th-cam.com/video/wKEZfdeH0lI/w-d-xo.html
Gay comment!
actually it used to look like normal guitar, but it got deformed by his playing
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.
The drummer, man what a legend.
As a guitar player, all I can say is: I cannot imagine the amount of practice it took to get that good.
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.
this band is one happy guy, a grumpy one and the drummer
One of the most talented bands to ever play. Drummer is so good.
Where is Groot?
Tosin : Hides slowly in bushes...
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
The clean section is so beautiful
Tosin's guitar is badass. This shit must be worth more than me.
I can infer that these gentlemen are very affluent in their respective instruments
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
That strandberg with the extra 2 frets up top is lust-worthy
I am just sitting here laughing like crazy, the drumming of Matt is just unparalleled. He's the best
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.
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 best in class musicians right here
incredible how the music evolves over time! Definitely feeling the meshuggah mentality coming out of this trio in the live setting
Host: "So what are you gonna be playing for us tonight, Tosin?"
Tosin: "The Bat'leth"
More like Matt Girthska. This dude is looking good and sounds even better!
The live version of this is always so damn good
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!
That’s no guitar. It’s a space station.
Twister reference??
@@storageunit2683 star wars reference
And I thought Abasi guitars from his website look weird. This is a whole new level.
These drums are unreal and this band is totally rad!
Finally a proper drum mix in a live version
Such a shame i can´t find the lyrics anywhere, that´s a beautiful song to sing along.
Lol XD
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.
This video still makes me shake my head at the absurdly amazing performance of matt
This is the best I have seen them play this track. Takes some insane chops all around.
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.
Need me a pair of them T H U M B S
Had the chance to see them twice already, feeling blessed for that!!!
One of my favorites bands ever
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!!!
Is Matt taking the same pills from John Petrucci?
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
This is fantastic!
Ricky Gervais is killin at the drums!!
Don't know what's more impressive..Matt's Drumming or his new bulked up body & hair flips
Made my day open my eyes
Open to new sounds. I appreciate these ones..
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
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!
When they asked me why I hate shitty music THESE GUYS ARE MY ANSWER, they are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love this song.
It appears my man Matt's taking this song dead seriously
Djent level over 9000 🔥🔥🔥
I just discovered this group TODAY !!!!!! wow how awesome
I love the new visual set up!👍
Damn Matt’s been hitting the weights! Looking swole af
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^^
Beyond amazing! No words to describe these talented men!! Love love!
The drums at the end just blew me away🔥🔥
"Hey Tosin, what guitar do you play?"
Tosin: yes
How weak and gay is this comment?
Answer: Yes
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.
What a phenomenal drummer
The government: 3-metre distance protocol
AAL: Yes, sure
Thought they had a new drummer until i heard some fills and then saw the classic facial expressions. lol
Dude, Matt tossing in the half-time and the pauses at 0:48 was *INSANE.* It made the funk heavy!!
HOLY SHIT I thought they had a new drummer, way to go Matt, he looks badass.
some enchanted wood Tosin be playin there
This sounds like all three are playing a different song at the same time
in the most beautiful way
That's what off time syncopation sounds like. It starts on time, kinda breaks apart and eventually circles back around to being on time together. You see it alot in some of the more crazy jazz stuff, etc, but you need a MONSTER drummer to pull that shit off. They've gotta basically be a human metronome.
@@bradmerilic6848 it sounds absolutely incredible, I was thinking this is like if jazz and metal had a kid. The drummer blows me away
@@plank3000 You aren't that far off with your assessment.
@@bradmerilic6848 that’s not at all what’s happening. None of this got off, circled back and got back on, at any point.
This is absolutely fantastic! Of course we have already listened to this songs, but the way they perform is technically amazing
Why are y'all so good.
Humans can be so great too.
