The EXACT moment Tosin Abasi inspired me to practice (

[@RichardGarcia93]

0:55 Tosin hits the wrong note on the easiest riff in the song and then blames the amp. Love it. 😆

[@JohnSmith-lo8rr]

rewatched this like 5 times

[@Galllll]

Hits one at the end too and just smirks. What we all learned is that he is human after all but just an incredibly gifted and special one 🤘🏼

[@TrulydaMoosey]

​@@Gallllltalking about at 5:27? Bahaha

[@TrulydaMoosey]

​@@GalllllI don't know why, but I had a feeling it would be specifically there when you mentioned it.

I've heard that his brother is a fashion designer so that would help to why he has such great taste in everything

@@tiaraguy7705 Yeah from what I've seen, used to be a part of a fashion company called Abasi Rosborough, not sure where he's at now tho

2:45 it is still insane how clean he plays that

[@HostileHitman]

Right like the flow is so absolutely perfect. Insane amount of practice to accomplish that.

I wouldn’t be able to stand still watching this. CAFO is now and forever the hardest prog metal song ever.

[@pygmybehemoth3988]

@@kernelxsanders Pardon me. When I said CAFO is “the hardest” I meant that it hits hard or “goes hard” rather than it being the most difficult to play :) That being said, I have never once attempted to cover it.

[@Dust4Vomit]

Same. I love many of their newer releases also, but CAFO always holds a special place for me.

The fact that mostly everyone in AAL is jacked is just another step beyond insane

[@sergeysherba]

it fcing cool!

[@LessOfMyselfToKill_187]

This song is way easier on drums than guitar I can tell you that much! I play both and the first time I seen Tosin it blew my mind! Him and the WARR Guitar player from Behold the Arctopus! Then Jason Richardson! Took my thumpin, sweepin, and finger techniques to a whole other level!

isn't that guy talking to tosin in the beginning one of the guitarists from Nok Novum

nah, he was just a guy working at the Seymour Duncan booth. he was cool though, saved a spot for me in the front row!

can I get the tabs for this anyone? 😂😅

this song always makes me feel like that Neil DeGrasse Tyson meme, "when the cringe is too strong." Not the cringe part, but the flying thru space at warp speed, traveling through time and space part.

God the beginning of this song is just earrape i love tosin but holy crap i hate that note mashing part.

Kinda agree, I love the song but the « main » riff is the worst part, I think the mixing has a big responsibility in that

the exact moment i was already tired of the technical show-off (0:15)

[@caixiuying8901]

​​@@peterpwn4311 Music is subjective and this song in particular is strongly emotional for me, you're just incompatible with the experience it provides. You can have your opinions, but don't state them as facts. I find every single album this band has ever put out to be a profound musical experience. "...but also the groove that can't be taught" Dude, rhythm is half of what makes Animals as Leaders interesting.
