Animals As Leaders MEGATHREAD

[Kairos]

Does anyone know what drums Navene uses? Shell sizes would be sweet too. I can't seem to find much other than that he is sponsered by Meinel, and an Animosity era interview says he used "random drums and Alchemy/Istanbul cymbals"

Tosin is quickly turning into one of my all time favorite guitarists. Animals as Leaders is one of the most played stuff on my Itunes...

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

They made Javier look really tall

 

[The Beard]

No lie, that was the BEST MUSIC VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
It fit the band and the song SOOOOOOOO perfectly!!

Darn Megathread, consuming everything Tosin it sees!

AWESOME first vid. i like that it wasnt some rediculous theme that took away from the music. the playing and members were the center focus, and the rest just added to the otherworldy feel. damn good vid IMO!

EDIT: 500th post, yo! ive never stuck around a forum this long, they usually turn to be lame or the members just plain suck. much <3 to SS.org =)

 

[MikeH]

I can listen to that song over and over and still never get tired of it. Also, what the hell was that creature?

 

[Kairos]

Also, what the hell was that creature?

The dinosaur-alien-spawn of AAL's awesomeness

 

[slapnutz]

First I bought my new HDTV today and then I find this out! Its my fav song of the album and nows theres a vid! Too much awesome for one day!


Also, superdooper bonus... they didnt make a "radio edit" version i.e. shorter version of the song just for the video! Hell yeah!!

 

[animalsasleader]

YES SIR. repped

The new album is GOING to be different, that's a given. I personally dont care if the drums are sampled, or navene decides to blood-fart into a compression mic. AAL has already put out what i consider to be the most complete and fulfilling album in recent metal history, and when you hit the mark that dead-on, the only thing you can really do is go a different way. take, for instance, smashing pumpkins' Mellencollie double disc (for those of you that like 90's alt), it was GREAT, organic and deeply colorful. the only thing they could do after an album that great was to go with a completely drum-tracked, dark and cold effort like Adore, because if it was anything like the previous album, people would say "they fell short" or some bullshit like that. I love that music moves people to such passion, but it gets old when people criticize a TRUE artist's development. no self-respecting mucisian writes to satisfy an audience anyway.

Spot on.

 

[Kairos]

So anyone know what drums, shell sizes Navine uses?

 

[Kavnar]

Fuck yes

Sorry if this is a repost, I couldn't find anything.

 

[Cyntex]

watch it at 720 px

The video has been posted three times. We all love Animals as Leaders and Tosin, but we don't need to post it three times in two pages.

The video fucking rules, though. The creature is actually just my penis. No big deal.

Tosin is easily the snappiest dresser in music. No one looks that good. Why does he have to taunt me so? His flawless tapping blows my mind. He has such perfect execution and seems to do it so effortlessly.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

I was actually looking for the high quality version of the video so the last post with the video was pretty useful tbh...

 

[josh pelican]

Yeah, I noticed it was the high definition version, but Kavnar said he couldn't find the video. He couldn't have looked very hard.

I'm not trying to make a big deal or anything, I'm just being "that guy".

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

Kavnar didn't see this thread and made a new one that was moved over in this thread.

WELL THEN.

Carry on.

 

[Cyntex]

Slightly offtopic, but for what it's worth check out prosthetic records youtube channel, they have a lot of cool videos besides Cafo on

. I actually liked the video, exactly that futuristic vibe I was hoping they would go for.
