@@Yukixjapan lots of practice. :) and ... lots of touring. it gets tiring playing as much as they have on this tour. they never phone it in - but you've got to stay relaxed to execute the level at which they operate.
@@postmoderncondition3353 I’ve seen that in their recent shows. The crowd acts like they bought seats and it just makes me want to watch their older performances.

Matt's application of rudiments around the kit is always so geometrically pristine. I wonder what it would be like if he tried to play as chaotically and unpredictably as possible, while staying within the bounds of the material's structure and feel, and his own energy's patterning.
24:08 Nothing beats this section of thumping, it's pretty much the first time they do it in this set list so it's such a heavy mood change during the concert... and they catch you with the 808 at 24:23 just to finish you off. The video on my channel doesn't put it into words... it's like getting kick in the guts! You can hear the audience reaction too lol
@@esnotionoctarine8914great how they've made such strange time signatures and musical ideas palatable in a way that people feel the music rather than counting in their heads. What makes aal stand out
@@FlipperWolf i know too that crowd clapping is usually a nuisance for the band as well, as they can’t keep time. In this case the crowd was legit helping out😎
Who thought it was a good idea to set the bar that high? I cant imagine what playing 1 of these songs live is like, let alone an entire set. You only get 1 take, and you guys killed it!
AAL was always unbelievable ... but Matt just added so much. I can't stop looking at him play. And see .... he's alongside Tosin and Javier. I will let you think about it. :D
hahaha those 7s are a mindfuckkk, the way he splits the 7/4 bar into two 14/16, each of them into 4 groups of 3 and one of 2 16ths.... yea... not easy to count/feel haha
Meanwhile while leaders are at The G7 devising ways to force multiply suffering and chaos on the world populace, Im in Tokyo waiting for more cool bands to come through. Arch Enemy/w sp guest Guthrie Govan. That would be interesting
@Guy Buddy Something that works your biceps and triceps. Which would be something that flexes the elbow and extends the elbow. Which would be things like curls and pushdowns or chin ups and skullcrushers/extensions etc.
@Guy Buddy With pushups you do extend the elbow, so it does work your triceps to some degree, but I say it's not great at working arms because it isn't a pure elbow extension, it also uses chest and shoulder. Not to mention it neglects the other function of the arm which is elbow flexion.
I know its quiet but it doesnt mean we were not enjyoing. Speaking in a non-native language can make some people more shy. Some artists doesnt like it and some made extra efforts to communicate with crowds. I found it shows a lot of their personalities. And I also add It's like I cant capture beautiful moon with my phone as i can see with my eyes. This video didin't capture the excitements and energies and more. You can blame my iphone for it haha. And thats the point actually going to show makes the experience more special right?
It takes a lot to draw my attention away from someone as amazing as Tosin, but Matt Garstka is just an absolutely unbelievable drummer.
Same here. I don't know how they can play that look easy and effortless

the most respectable and calm animals crowd I've ever seen haha
I've been to the last Gojira concert in Tokyo and the crowd was so chill, it felt kinda alien
@@postmoderncondition3353 I’ve seen that in their recent shows. The crowd acts like they bought seats and it just makes me want to watch their older performances.
@@rezzyblue9948that’s just Japanese crowd things. They are always chill.
There was a circle pit during micro aggressions in my city when they played a few weeks after this show it was hilarious
Might be late to but... There's a... major difference to Japan' indoor crowds and outdoor crowds. 😬
本当ありがと
I was the guy yelling in between the songs 😂
Ohh you were there😃 be loud as much as you can. As many artists said shows in Japan are too quiet
lucky one😀👍
Wait, I was that guy...
What venue was this?
you represented me better than the congressmen of my country...
Seeing this trio live gotta be in my top 3 best concerts. Top 5 best moments of my life tbh.

One of my fav things about AAL is at this point it's a band of three powerlifters

Haha I feel you! I was hoping to see it but he didn't show off. We need drum cam for it :)
He is always looking for new patterns. Sometimes the halfway point of this learning takes away his naturalness and energy.
It would be like danny of Tool.just my personal opinion
I bet if we had some footage of them working the songs up we would something like that!
@@dimsonvenus684 garstka would never sound like carey in his life.... unless he had a traffic accident or something that gave him brain damage
Matt playing the opening to CAFO with single strokes AFTER stepping off stage and combing back on is bonkers.
HOLY CRAP HE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT WITH SINGLE STROKES THAT IS CRAZY
@@viraajgupta7090 That mid-show adrenaline is insane, makes you a superhuman. At the end of the set too.. sheesh.
What? I might be dumb but I don't see that
1:01:23 now that's a good drum tech
looool though matt didn't trust him with it haha, he muted the cymbal himself with his left hand....
It's the second time I see them doing this so now I have my answer, this is on purpose xD
Of all the drummers I've seen live, Matt and Baard Kolstad stand out as absolute monsters.
These dudes need a light show like Tool
Or Meshuggah

Good to see real tube amps again on live stage!
They are for stage volume. Using only the power amps for their pedalboards.
That harmonic @7:37 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This band rules!
yeah they made my night
wow, i´ve never seen Tosin failing a whole riff (46:15), memorizing all that shit must be hard as fuck. All my respect for them
we musicians call forgetting a bit....
'improvisation'....
1:07:14 Crowd was a freaking metronome
At 1:16:50 as well, incredible crowd indeed!!
@@esnotionoctarine8914great how they've made such strange time signatures and musical ideas palatable in a way that people feel the music rather than counting in their heads. What makes aal stand out
Most crowds can't keep clapping to a 4/4 rhythm for more than 5 seconds... Leave it to a AAL crowd to clap perfectly to any weird time signatures 😂
@@FlipperWolf i know too that crowd clapping is usually a nuisance for the band as well, as they can’t keep time. In this case the crowd was legit helping out😎
thanks for the video! Awesome show and the band!💗
Aww thank you for your kind words. I'm happy to hear that
I'd love to see them them live one day.
It was my first time. I hope they are going to your city :)
Not sure if you're in the US, but they're going to tour with Dream Theater and Devin Townsend
I just had a look. Australia and Japan in April. US in June and July. Europe in November
I'm going tonight in Brisbane!
@@baax 😃enjoy!!
This is the first time I ever heard this band play they sound pretty good kind of a progression band 😢😢
Yes they are! I hope you can experience it soon
@@YukixjapanI just bought tickets to see them in July. Cleveland Ohio
@@misterbaker9728 wow! Enjoy!
They are just so good live. God damn
The best instrumental band ever.
Who thought it was a good idea to set the bar that high? I cant imagine what playing 1 of these songs live is like, let alone an entire set. You only get 1 take, and you guys killed it!
I was in there that day!
You lucky bugger
Was the live sound better than the recorded
I hope so
I couldn’t listen to it it wasn’t doing their musicianship justice
amazing
thanks
The whole band is looking Super Saiyan 2!
Haha video can't contain the vibes in the show. They have some powers over the crowds
The crowd looks like San Fransisco in April of 2020.
nice to see tosin rocking the kaizen
whoa...they're getting better...that's scary...
Me: Floor tom blast beats aren't real, they cant hurt you.
Matt Garstka: hold my beer.
what about bass drum flams? 52:20 :D
Tight AF bro damn
Man I love this set list, I just wish they had a good fit for a song off Weightless
Haha can I put Ka$cade on the list too? This band never fails to amaze me
@@Yukixjapan I think they were playing it a few times on their Parrhesia tour actually!
@@confucamus3536 I didn't know that. Probably they have few setlists for change
i’d say isolated incidents or do not go gently, title track was also nice live
AAL was always unbelievable ... but Matt just added so much. I can't stop looking at him play. And see .... he's alongside Tosin and Javier. I will let you think about it. :D
22:40 he doesn't know the japanese audience😂
I didn't see pit in this show but so many ways to enjoy music. I usually go to hardcore shows and you can find ninjas in the pit here ;)
Os deuses da música!!! Fico triste em saber que vou morrer sem ver eles tocando ao vivo, a não ser pela internet.
Se nao me engano eles tiveram em SP ano passado. Espero que voltem
@@giovanigomes3257 verdade.
Awesome. Thanks.
1:06 fire
Matt is fucking ripped.
In the albums the guitars are the main focus but live the drums take center stage lol
They were in Tokyo at the same time as me and I DIDN'T KNOW??? I can never enter Valhalla now.
1:16:53 Mindblow
They sound best with rectifiers
they are just God
One continuous drum fill
Garstka!!!!!!!!!
honestly if they said we have one more song and it was cafo I'd shit myself
Notice how few phones are out
drummer kinda steals the show, imo
laser focus from the crowd lol.
Tosin :So quiet
Man, these guys desperately need some better stage production. Seen them perform live a number of times and it's always bare bones on stage.
I started to listen these guys 3 ys ago may be. But I didn't expect its... trio, not f***ing orchestra!
Why is there a bass amp on stage ?! Support band maybe ?
audience headbob malfunction at 50:55
hahaha those 7s are a mindfuckkk, the way he splits the 7/4 bar into two 14/16, each of them into 4 groups of 3 and one of 2 16ths.... yea... not easy to count/feel haha
Drives me nuts they don’t have a bass player
They should do in game music for Doom!
he did not... he did not do the blast beat in Gordian Naught final section................

What’s the bass amp for?
when the parts have more bass and the band makes more thumping noises- the ampeg is on
@@colinburroughs9871 🤯
the bass
At first id mistake this for a nice band to play for a high end dinner music, then they smash up all the plates
did marty friedman see this ??
If you like this, I hate to break it to you, but you like jazz.
NOOOOO, ANYTHING BUT JAZZ !!!
Amazing!!!! But all these Musks, come on relax🤌🏻…
monomyth is the like the most fucked up song anyone could ever play on drums wtf. I can't follow ANY OF IT
czcams.com/video/1z3R5DgigLA/video.html Don't worry, Matt can't really get the right words out to explain it very well either! 😅
heard about them....never heard their
music before....rather tidy - aren't they !
heavy stomping prog....similar to KING CRIMSON'S improvs....
audio really bad
So Tosin no longer uses an 8 string?
I have no idea about gears. waiting someone drops any info about it
No it's an 8 string. His new laradas are so dope
Tosin plays with a 7 strings for some songs. At 38:30, he's switching to a 8 strings guitar to play Gestaltzerfall.
Matttttt, STOP... 🤦♂
HAAHAHAHAHAH
Jesus christ look at Tosin's arms! someone's been doing some pushups. lol
Pushups barely work your arms but yeah him and Matt both are buff.
@@KS-MDCCLXXVI What do you reckon the best workout is for your arms?
@Guy Buddy Something that works your biceps and triceps. Which would be something that flexes the elbow and extends the elbow. Which would be things like curls and pushdowns or chin ups and skullcrushers/extensions etc.
