ins(out)side 220 Posts June 13 2012 20:57 GMT #1 SUPER EXCITED! I'm going to be seeing my favorite band of all time THRICE along with my new favorite band and guitarist Animals As Leaders/Tosin Abasi! I will be providing a review of the show after I witness it tonight. I'm REALLY excited to see AAL/Tosin live as he is an absolute maniac on the guitar and is my main inspiration at the moment. Because of him I've picked up a decent 8 string guitar and I'll be spending my time taking what hes done and making it my own as best I can. For a sampling of what someone with classical, jazz, and metal shred techniques can do with an extended range guitar, have a look at some of Tosin's youtube stuff. I just realized, posting some Thrice stuff would be good idea as well for those out there who haven't heard of them. They are amazing and the evolution their sound went through the past decade or so is incredible. I'll try and provide some songs that demonstrate the contrast

Animals as leaders was superb, and Thrice... well I'm not a fan... it's like they couldn't make up their minds on what genre they wanted to be, so they just half ass everything instead. :\
