Animals as Leaders guitar maestro Tosin Abasi has confirmed that he is the official "air shredder" of Bill & Ted Face the Music, the new, third installment in the Bill & Ted film series.
This means that every time Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves' titular characters make eye contact and engage in some emphatic air guitar, you'll be hearing Abasi's licks.
Abasi follows in the footsteps of his Generation Axe bandmate Steve Vai, who provided the air guitar licks in 1991's Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and Stevie Salas, who provided them for 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
“So, when you go see the @billandted3 movie tomorrow and hear the air guitar moments, that’s me!” Abasi said in an Instagram post. “So awesome to be a part of something as epic as this and to follow in the footsteps of the OG’s Steve Vai and Nuno Bettencourt. Most excellent!”
Gibson recently confirmed that it was sponsoring the movie, providing it with a bevy of Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer and Steinberger models.
Bill & Ted Face the Music is out today, and can be streamed on demand.
