    For those of you commenting on the crowds - to be honest, this isn't uncommon. Toska were the opening support act so most people weren't there to see them, so the fact there is a crowd at all is an immense achievement!
    Coupled with the facts that most progmetal gigs are attended by musicians who prefer to watch intensely and absorb technique than mosh about, and that typically you see more dancing happening when there's more of a balance of male/female attendees, and it's not surprising most people are still. Unfortunately this is the case for most small/medium sized gigs. I try to get people going if I run into the crowd with a camera, but that in itself can be quite difficult!
    We need to change this though. We need to get people moving again.

      +Dan Davies To add to this..... quite a few people approached me afterwards to explain that they were quite lost in it, and focusing on exactly what we were doing, not really just rocking. They said they found the music really intense and so they were taking it all in.
      But i also get the point, sometimes it's nice to provoke moshpits haha

    "I had the nut latte, Dave is rebelling against starbucks, because they changed their gluten-free falafel to gluten-free turkey, so he can't have it"
    I think that's the most hipster thing i've ever heard in my life.
    Awesome music though. Love your band - even if you make me cringe abit ;b
    Hopin' to see ya sometime, but i'm living in Denmark, sadly.

    @orderofytene 8 лет назад

    Bea, would you be able to do a video on how you write instrumental music whilst still keeping it engaging? I understand you have experience writing for both vocals and without and I'm interested into how the absence of rob effects how you write songs. mainly how you can make a long instrumental song interesting without sounding disjointed and still having an audible flow

  • @s_j_0
    @s_j_0 8 лет назад

    I don't get why everyone is mad at the crowds, when strangers watch my band as opposed to having a smoke or a drink at the bar, I'm immensely grateful.
    Maybe if less people shit talk on the Internet and went out to see live bands they'd have nothing to shit talk about.

  • @13thorderbass
    @13thorderbass 8 лет назад

    Before I saw Andrew towards the end, I was wondering if you guys ever hung out with Arcane Roots, or if you kinda kept to yourself the entire tour. Did you guys hang out and have some drinks after the shows or was it all business?

    • @RabeaMassaad
      @RabeaMassaad  8 лет назад +1

      We hung out a fair bit man, I guess when we were we didn't really have the Camera on. Here such nice guys!

    • @Darfuria
      @Darfuria 8 лет назад +1

      Plenty of hangs - but some guys don't like having cameras shoved in their faces all the time. I like to try to respect that :) They're all awesome though!

      @dale4857 8 лет назад

      hemminatorrssh
      yup. vw wagon.Ben mentioned Volv at the beginning. Just picking I know they come with defrost-heater. The switch is right in front of them center console. Would suck if the heater core blew in that. But most likely coolant bottle is empty. Car is running so it wouldn't be the water pump. Those who work on cars would know what I mean.

    • @RabeaMassaad
      @RabeaMassaad  8 лет назад +8

      +Luke Mcfarlane not really a stupid question as such. we are in two bands. Toska is the kind of music the three of us have aspired to play since we met 10 years ago, and we finally had the opportunity to do it from about 18 months ago. Drove is a spirit thing altogether. So although it may seem backwards or the other way round, the three of us (Toska) have been gigging and writing music together for about 10 years as opposed to the 3/4 years with Dorje

    • @lmcf_gtr
      @lmcf_gtr 8 лет назад

      +Rabea Massaad ah that makes sense. By the way, Dorje were the main inspiration that caused me to pick up a guitar and start playing, so the next time you see Chappers or any of Dorje, tell them I said a massive thank you!

      Toska is prog music. A lot of prog fans don't mosh or go crazy because they observe the band and absorb everything they are doing from time signatures to riffs.
