Just had dinner with Tosin Abasi!

Post by Loop Bizkit »

Prepped him for our clinic tomorrow.

Pretty much awesome. Super intelligent guy, and very gracious dude for sure.

Just had to share. So awesome.

To keep this about gear, we talked at length about how cool it was running axefxs through power amps and into cabs.:)

Sorry to make GAB my Facebook, but this was too awesome not to share!

Your story is like this and I play the character of Vince:

Except it's in a mocking tone- because I haven't a clue as to who the unknown butt rocker is that you are name dropping.

Very cool loop!

I respect the hell outta Tosin and listen to one of his tracks now and then. I don't really listen too much stuff like that (technical of any sort, jazz, metal, whatever) as my poor brain can't handle it, but dude is an amazing player and to my ears really stands out in an era of a lot of amazing players again.

Jeezus that gif. :rofl:

Tosin's playing is really awe inspiring. As much as I'd love the opportunity to chat with him I'm pretty sure my brain would be sweating before he got two sentences out. He's one of those players that's forgotten more theory than I've ever learned and as much as he tries to share it it always seems to go completely over my head even in his youtube lessons.
