[@RobChappers]

Great to see that you got out of prison dude, also great to see that you managed to persuade Ben to keep playing the drums :-) Love you guys, have fun! Rob

[@pokemonCSDS]

Rob! Hope your getting better mate, can't wait to see you and DORJE in Milton Keynes!!!!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Hahah yeah managed to dig a tunnel! Thanks man, hope you're nearly better!

[@joshuamejean3306]

Rob Chapman Rob i my heart nearly dropped when i saw Ben's post because i totally forgot it was April fools day! I though he was serious and i nearly died. Hope your feeling much, much better mate! Keep up the amazing sounds that you guys can create. and keep blowing me away with your amazing voice of badassitude!

[@jasondeli]

I'd buy a Toska album in a second

[@jjdn43]

You guys are animals. I love Dave's bass playing. Something uniquely epic about it that i just cant quite put my finger on it. Would love to hear you guys play live one day. GREAT SHIT

[@ScrambleBandOfficial]

The prog is mighty with this one!

[@wadesomerville5964]

Cannot wait for an album from Toska, loving the prog rock at the moment !

[@TalosN7]

I get a really strong Tool crossed with Mastodon feel from this

[@eddesanroman]

Best album i´ve listened this year! Awesome job guys!

[@jsauce666]

I think this shit sounds awesome. Great progressions, great grooves. Excited to hear more.

[@MrTermizz]

Massive sound Bea! Great chops as always. Keep 'em comin'.

[@sammerryweather5053]

You guys seriously need to record some of this absolute gold after the dorje album is all done!!

[@NelsonBlakeII]

This music sounds amazing, Rabea. Right up my alley.

[@pokemonCSDS]

You guys are my inspiration! Can't get over your sound! So karnivool!

[@RabeaMassaad]

Thanks man, much appreciated! What is quite interesting is 2 of these songs were written before I heard Karnivool, and stylistically it's quite similar :-)

[@johnorkutcopero8656]

cheers from brazil love the band,good luck for u guys

[@eddiecancelmusic]

Rabea, hello from Las Vegas! I just purchased Ode To The Author because of this video! Great job!

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Rehearsing is always a fun experience to practice tracks as a band and this video is great stuff. I love to rehearse and practice a lot. Hard work but it's a great feeling indeed :) Awesome stuff Rabea

[@JaimeNoro]

2 JVMs + 2 5150s = Jealousy Level 100%

[@terrycornelius4]

No. He has a JVM, a JCM and a pair of 5150s. It *is* jealousy level 100% but it also makes you headbang in a million bangs a second. :D

[@cyanidejunkie]

Hey bea, great vid as always. Great tone with the stereo "Bea-st rig" and I think you found THE perfect spot to place the camera, sounded pretty fucking good tbh... be well my friend.

[@nmyuschak]

That was unbelievably good!

[@shaunsadler3179]

Bea! Please do a full gear rundown, I'm dying to know how that pedal board works/is set up:)

[@RabeaMassaad]

Will do man, it's not to complicated :-)

[@shaunsadler3179]

***** Awesome! Thanks man!

[@TheArgus1000]

Its been 8 years already? I need to revisit this tunes today.

[@GhostTaught]

Wish I had time/money to come down and catch this man!! Absolutely loving all this riffage!

[@ManyGenres1212]

Hey Bea I just wanted to say thanks for being a huge inspiration. I love your playing and watching you on youtube you've introduced me to Extreme and Karnivool in fact I'm listing to Change live right now. I'm even getting a JVM later this week.

[@chrisneary8538]

quadraphonic guitar rig, Bea, you are f***ing insane! that room's like 15' x10' big!

[@Twuntt]

Real talk, you guys are great and i love y'all. I bought "Ode to the author", and i can't wait to see what you guys put out next, love from America, cheers! P.S. You guys have the most natural/organic sound out of any Progressive metal band out nowadays, please keep doing what you're doing :)

[@rickhorssen5521]

Please make a CD or download for these songs! I love them!

[@clayy000]

I need those 4 amps! My god

[@KociKociamber]

Wow that sounds great guys

[@flamen89]

"if anything goes wrong on saturday, it's cause of ben" then edit with ben and the music. Rabea you are a genius video maker. laughed hard at that lol

[@JacintoVG]

I didn't know about this band. It seems really cool and I'd like to hear more!

[@lion39]

Record this stuff. I'd buy it. Sounds fantastic!

[@Hairyloft]

Great dirty tone with 4 beast amps together. I need a 5150 mk 1 in my life, just cant find one yet. Look forward to more Toska dates.

[@stianstrana]

Dream rig, Bea!

[@WhackoMacko]

lol, 8:06 ftw! Man, I miss playing in bands when I watch this kinda thing. Good luck with the gig chaps.

[@mrlixxxakaxisaacmodz2883]

Duuude you have no idea what I would give to be able to jam with you guys!

[@mikemartin6554]

even in a broom closet....you guys sound great.

[@martinfilip4312]

Come to play to Prague, please!

[@TomIngegneri96]

@RabeaMassaad any chance of you guys releasing an album?

[@RabeaMassaad]

Yes we will be doing, once we have time!

[@TomIngegneri96]

+Rabea Massaad ahhh yes mate!! Can't wait to get my hands on the dorje album and a toska one whenever it comes 😁

[@freepadz6241]

Really tasty music. Strong writing guys.

[@DRUMconorbradz]

Was in Brighton for the first time a week before this. Dammit.

[@Leprechaun7227]

Lovin The Sound :)

[@sunnyallstars]

I NEED THIS!!!! I WILL CONSUME IT!!!!! LIKE I'M LITERALLY GOING TO EAT THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

[@12andres24]

Any plans to do any more shows outside of Brighton?

[@ArturAtroshchenko]

very good playing) respect!

[@toxictomdude]

Album please! Literally all it takes is for you 3 to mic up and play like in your rehearsals. I would buy that straight away.

[@bretwomack]

Album! Please!

[@stephenmccarthy4784]

Hi Rabea, Ben and Ben. Lovin Toska (sorry Rob). Any mp3s available, love to hear more. Regards Stardo.

[@Kayfabedreamsmusic]

Rabea, we love Uranus!

[@SuperRoggerRabbit]

Holly cow!!! How do you guys deal with the DBs in that tinny space!!! wowowwowow!

[@trevcornwall8160]

Was actually getting lost in that! Sounds awesome!!! Best of luck on Saturday1 I can't see me making it :-/ funds and shit.. :-(

[@Chris_Bibby]

Sounds good fellas, that quad amp tone as well; heavy as a fucking osmium butty!

[@Harrysound]

whah, opening riff rocks.

[@Harrysound]

Harrysound Is any of this stuff recorded? i wanna hear it.

[@Leirbag42069]

That's crazy I saw Valerian Swing like 3 years ago in Columbus, Ohio.

[@Fr3etd4nc3r]

...so when´s the damn album comming out? or am I sentenced to comming back to this video for tha tiny snippets of awesome music?

[@richardsteffens6159]

Rocks so damn hard! Any plans to record anything?

[@richardtulley1785]

Edward Snowden is in the UK and is laying low as the drummer in Toska! Shhhh...

[@Steveyk25]

Sounds good Bea man! Is there anywhere (apart from live shows) that one could listen to more Toska?

[@33Hossa18]

@ 2:46 rabea is so happy look at his face lol awesome rig man

[@stelisklados]

I really wanna know the influences that you have to play this kind of music ! Thanks :D

[@profile1251]

sounds amazing do you have this track on an album ?

[@endermanghost123]

Sorry because I might be years behind, but did something happen to Dorje or is this just a side project? It sounds amazing!

[@kito-]

It's just a side project, Dorje is still happening

[@robd2519]

Good shit

[@busyend]

Several of us told you months ago that if you video'd the gig and uploaded it, that we would buy it. You, of course, did not answer but keep it in mind Bea.

[@embarklife]

Rabea dude, how are you achieving the audio recording of your jam sess? this one is so dope, slap on repeat.

[@RabeaMassaad]

That's just the handy cam mic :-) EP coming soon!

[@embarklife]

yo i cant wait for those studio recordings. i guess i just have some wack camera. or we're not cranked as loud. you guys are truly phenomenal.

[@VonBlargh]

Rabea Massad's Quadraphonic Rig, I need to see what that's like

[@alexwalker7485]

Awesome dude! I saw Dorje in Leeds last week and it was insane. This is something really cool and different though:) would you say it's a side project from Dorje or?

[@chrisneary8538]

these guys have been jamming for over a decade, dorje is for when rob is around and they have vocals. toska is the original band, dorje is all because rob met Bea in a pub

[@chrisdavison7569]

Hey Bea... First off nice one for making the vids man, Toska is a massive sack of win! Could you do us a video showing the whole stereo rig ur running these days please? I am trying to work out how you control your stereo rig... All the vids I've seen of your pedal board show you using your JVM's own pedal for channel switching. But how do you control the gainage on the Peavey? I am setting up a smaller version of the same kind of thing, using two micro terrors, two 1x12's and a fender mustang floor... No modelling, just the studio preamp set to raise and lower the input, add in effects etc... Would love an insight into your more grown up way of doing it! Lol.

[@jagmaster89]

Chalk teeth sounds awesome live.

[@lazyguitarman9438]

Bea, whats the name of the song around 6:55?

[@TMmodify]

I think it's Illumo

[@MrFleetingProduction]

Daymn somehow this reminds me of Karnivool. Sounds really good.

[@maxbecker4040]

I know that this is an older video, but I wonder nonetheless; how do you wire up your pedal board when you run stereo. I know that some of the Strymon stuff has stereo outs, but I assume that you use some stuff in the front and some in the loop, your ambient delayish sounds do sound like it at least. Anyone know anything ?

[@louistyson4305]

is this just dorje without rob?... bit mean no?

[@freezingCode]

Member wise, yes sir. Genre wise, no sir.

[@louistyson4305]

+snowBlind you are a real djentlemen

[@lakisbouz]

+Louis Tyson That's the ONLY reason why i love these guys!! there's no Rob. nice!

[@peepeepoo3432]

+lakisbouz Seems like an interesting way of bashing both Toska and Rob at the same time.

[@einaraarnes1378]

Cool stuff! That's it...................

[@ericlivbom3841]

Do anyone know what Overdrive pedal Dave use? It sounds so gooooood :O

[@aussierule]

Metal Zone kappa

[@budandbean1]

Hey Bea, where in the world are you guys practicing? I mean the place is tiny and even with the padding, the concrete block has to be killing the sound? Is this place someone's house or a practice room some where? Good luck with an upcoming recording! You guys sound great, I don't know about today but certainly on some other vids... Cheers.

[@RabeaMassaad]

it's a converted bus station... Called Brighton Electric.

[@budandbean1]

Thanks, I was curious... You guys sound great!

[@RyanUpward]

I wish I lived near Brighton 😢

[@TheGamersSpirit]

Can someone recommend me some stuff in this direction? I need it. Thank you ;)

[@TheMaximusprime09]

when, where and how can i buy this as an album/EP?

[@ezriekatzen1151]

Will there be a toska record in the near future?

[@RabeaMassaad]

There will indeed sir!

[@Joesorr324]

3:27 That is when you turn it on as a bandmember. Once the drone stops, its go time.

[@pabloguitars]

Wow.. is very power the sound! very good! guys you living in England?

[@Tychades]

hey Bea, did you know there's a band called TOSKA on bandcamp already from the UK that make prog/post stuff. Just thought you might like to know to avoid any troubles

[@ElucidatorVids]

I want to buy this music

[@marienus4109]

Fuck off! Stop following me!!

[@ElucidatorVids]

Rien Plooy no u

[@magnuse2983]

Settings on the 5150??

[@dazblade]

love to put some melodies over that stuff... ace

[@andrewichigo]

Any reason why everything has green tape on it?? Been seeing it on all the Dorje videos too, specially on mics and drum hardware

[@snake120696]

most bands put color tape or something similar in their stuff so when they go play in a venue with other bands they can identify their stuff and nothing gets stolen or go missing

[@scottmckinstry1698]

Fucking love Toska!

[@Min0rfr3t]

Hey Rabea, what pickups are in that reliced Sig guitar you're using?

[@ddevice4914]

Rabea, when you rehearse in such a small space, do you wear earplugs of any sort?

[@jakedrums1398]

Another drummer playing open handed. Good lad!

[@ACDCmaaad]

Rabea you're my fucking idol!

[@Spiritbro77]

Will it be strictly instrumental or did you guys find a singer? To me instrumental is perfect. If you can play like you guys you don't really need a singer... Some of my favorite tunes are instrumentals.. Check out "Walk don't Run" by the Ventures :) Peace

[@karlhenrikarendt]

What do you think os the JCM 900? I really hated mine :-P

[@Riverking1]

"I got picked up by this wanker this morning...." Hahahahahaha!!!!

[@FrankenstratGuitar]

Tighter than a gnats tight bits!!!

[@quibster]

Someone better record this gig.

[@irvwayshort9566]

I gotta ask. How do you guys come up with your band names?

[@blackie75]

Sup Rabea....quick question, do you play with the back edge of the pick? It looks like you do sometimes.

[@RabeaMassaad]

Yeah man, I change it up a little. Depends on what I am playing really. Kind of annoying I wish I could just have a multi purpose picking technique hahah

[@blackie75]

***** Yeah nice, I messed around with it it a little today. Feels pretty good, kinda fast too, considering I'd never tried it before. Love your sound bruh...take it easy.

[@cheeseburns11]

Siiiiiiiick!

[@NicklasNylander87]

Side project doing all instrumental?

[@simonderycke7545]

Dorje is the side project of the guys from Toska. There, I said it.

[@powercourageandwisdom]

@@simonderycke7545 - as it turns out, you were right.

[@jamescooper5372]

Where is the singer ?

[@jerrodrushford2503]

There isn't one

[@lakisbouz]

+Jerrod Rushford Thank god for that!

[@EuniceLucie]

+lakisbouz why are you hating on rob? :/

[@diabolicalgenious]

Yeah, what's up with that? Personally, I like both, I get it. I love Dorje and what you guys have done with that, seems like Rob has been working hard on some stuff to make the Dorje experience and sound better and I have huge respect for that, but this is a different thing, obviously. I love the Prog, thanks for pursuing it guys, all of you guys are amazing Rabea, and Ben is an absolute beast, I don't know much about drums, but Ben is amazing.
