FRET12 backstage Artist Connect interview with Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders.

[colincolin]

has anyone made the Blade comment yet? I feel like someone should've made the Blade comment.

[ThePlaguedRaven]

Man he is scary intelligent, he's so charismatic and definitive with his words. I sound like a caveman when I try and explain anything tonal or musical.

[ChelseaGrinMan]

Please don't tell me i'm the only one that caught "tonerboner" at 8:59 lmao i never took tosin for someone like that haha awesome

[ARASNshane]

"Most people who listen to Meshuggah aren't necessarily listening to Radiohead." Then he name drops Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. I didn't know I could respect this dude more than I already did.

[tmayne]

He likes squarepusher! It makes so much sense! you can totally hear it, particularly in tracks like Ka$cade and Earth Departure. Such a legend.

[TheDrummagurl]

i just want a hug from this guy, that is all.

[nanthilrodriguez]

Why does Tosin look like a character from Cyberpunk 2077?

[Imhalfamazing]

Ancient Aliens are going to use him as proof that there are aliens here on our planet.

[Steve-nqjc]

Genius! I'm a fan of his acoustic playing. Nice to hear a player actually push further than just shredding! The last Animals as Leader's album was superb

[aNameIessGhoul]

Was this filmed at Mojoes in Joliet, IL?

[MrJames-twoo]

Animals as Leaders. How did the name come about? Leaders as Animals...reversed?

[lewisbirkett]

[fabiovera]

[williamanderson]

[bruceburnett]
