Premier Guitar's Rebecca Dirks is on location in Chicago where she catches up with Animals As Leaders guitarists Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes. In this segment, the guys discuss their 8-string guitars, the patches they use on their Axe-FX, and why they still incorporate a traditional amp head and cab into their rigs.
Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes—Animals as Leaders’ jaw-dropping dualguitar
team—live up to their name and create a new progressive-rock
beast by cross-breeding jazz, classical, and metal techniques in a way
that simultaneously blows your mind and defies the genre’s stereotypes.
