    I was raised with all the classic metal from 80s - 90s great metal/rock bands, to 2000-2010 numetal- metalcore, I love all that styles, but this nigga... bruh this is something new, something fresh, extremely original, when I listen to him or AAL, I feel like the man is doing concrete science with the music, thing which I love so much, Tosin takes the guitar to another new level. Every note/song he plays is a pleasure to my ears.

    Tosin Abasi's left hand is a thing of utter beauty and wonder... I could watch his fingers move forever.
    I saw him a/b ing the Fluence set against BKP's, DiMarzios and SD sets and it was all close ups of the middle of the guitar and the fret board. About 10 mins in I'd completely forgotten about the sound of the pick ups just watching his hands move... could tell you for the life of me which sounded better.
