    This guy Mitch is fucking awesome -- I've watched a few of his interviews so far and every single time he asks very in depth intelligent questions; you won't find an interview like this in Rolling Stone or even Guitar World magazine -- he actually listens to their music and even asks them about recording techniques, writing, playing style...I wish I worked at Sweetwater!

    Tosin Abasi and Animals as Leaders are what happens when you are an open minded musician. Instead of just being locked into one genre, explore them all!

      @combatwombatt 10 лет назад +8

      very true. Matt went to berklee and studied ALOT more sub genres than i thought. he did stuff like Afro cuban, jazz, swing, latin, and all that stuff. and basically he just incorporates all those styles into his playing. it's crazy how amazing he is

    Look at Tosin's face at 0:42 when he calls him a virtuoso. ;)

      He's rushing it at the beginning... sloppy.

    I secretly believe Tosin is a highly intelligent robot sent from the future to warn us of our impending doom at the hands of ourselves....yeah i dunno either.

    That Ibanez man... 5 amazing pickups, nothing else is going to give you that beautiful sound. I've been out of the guitar scene for over 10 years and that shit was something else

  • @ThePlaguedRaven
    @ThePlaguedRaven 11 лет назад +47

    Too many interviewers keep asking Tosin the same questions over and over, I think they need to do their research and find out what he's already been asked, that way they can come up with something new. I swear this is probably 5th time I've heard him answer about 70% of those questions over again. :(

    • @forextroll
      @forextroll 11 лет назад +7

      Lol, I could have answered just about all of those interview questions.

    • @__Henry__
      @__Henry__ 11 лет назад

      Maybe I haven't found the section of youtube that shows me Tosin's interviews that you're seeing because I have a hard time finding more and I've heard only one of those questions before

    • @forextroll
      @forextroll 11 лет назад

      Henry Joseph I'm just a Tosin fanboy who google's for content about the band. They've had interviews that aren't just youtube and I check those out too.

    He used to skate. Can this guy command any MORE respect from me?

    • @EliteXtasy
      @EliteXtasy 9 лет назад +2

      Jay Mazella ...You respect someone because he plays the guitar and skates? Everyone should have mutual respect for each other, but you need to get your priorities straight.

    • @Floral_Green
      @Floral_Green 9 лет назад +1

      No idea what leads you to believe to I don't already respect those around me; it seems that you, the one looking for reason to argue where none exists, need get your own priorities straight.

    • @EliteXtasy
      @EliteXtasy 9 лет назад

      Jay Mazella
      I never said that you don't respect others - it was a disclaimer about respect. If rolling around and playing a musical instrument are the reasons why you respect someone, you need stop being a little boy and grow up. Admiration should not be confused with respect.

    • @Floral_Green
      @Floral_Green 9 лет назад +3

      Right. Well it seems to me that you have little to no grasp on what the concept of 'respect' entails, so despite your efforts here I'm going to just disregard what you've said to me and not apply it to my life in any way.

    • @Floral_Green
      @Floral_Green 9 лет назад +2

      +EliteXtasy For a guy that insists on starting needless arguments, your insults are just God-awful. "Grow up, kid".. projecting much? ;}

    its rare to see him touch on reflux, at all. i absolutely love that band and that album they did is one of the pinnacles of extreme metal. more people really should look into their album. it was as technical as metal can get while still being musical

      @marcwatkins5978 9 лет назад

      Limitations in the band he played with before his solo project. There were certain grounds he couldn't cover as they would be too outlandish for their respective style of music.
