Very true! He's a real boss! Best light show I have seen!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8-DpZuas927o6s.html. He is

lol he knows all the grooves just as well as them

Jayden Snow best light show in the biz by far.

Always have amazing light shows, even at the small local venue I went to see them at :)

Its incredible the memory... I cant remember after the third chord..

I imagine the drummer doing advanced calculus in his head the whole time

They the OG, they invented the the genre and paved the way for thousands of newer bands. I’m sure they have some sorta trick/cheat code to remembering all the rhythmic patterns and riffs. Or they just play literally 24/7 together

@@tonygagliardi7517 no doubt my brotha!!

It's not as bad as one would think. Most of their riffs repeat (albeit over the barline) so it's a matter of memorizing the riff and then just getting used to the repetitions as it cycles over the 4/4. They definitely rehearse, and practice too, but the music isn't too bad if you take your time and sit with it.

They sound like a miss-firing engine to me

Jens has such amazing technique that he can go on forever.

@@PatrikF666 Also helps to stay as healthy as an ox. All these guys look clear and focused, great musicians.

I guess you do know that James has been singing for much longer, also he's much older and also sings much higher notes, right? With all that being said - yes, being James puts much more pressure on a singer

@@AB-vl6et It's a joke bro. I know Hetfield had a killer voice back in Puppets-Black Album era

Meanwhile Tomas Haake be like : I already have one... For every limb on my body.

They have click tracks for every single song

What an elegant way to say that 👍

Thats why they can Fly

@fox very weird statement, I'll just say that.

@fox this comment makes about as much sense as a meshuggah song tbh

Blame the band for shit crowdwork then.

Yeah, i would also stand there and take the music fully in. The music is just to mezmerizing.

@@spiritlevelstudios fuck crowd work..its about the ART. Only assholes need their balls licked between every song. It's about the musical EXPERIENCE.

Can confirm.

can confirm, your brain is busy trying to understand wtf is happening, one of the best live shows ive been

Why is that?

Same. Exactly the same.

@@borjacarreiro what album would you recommend first?

Lika a fucking General in hell on his day off.

That's a really good way of describing Jens. Perfectly fits with Tomas' lyrical style. They're not about bloody demons fantastical tropes. They're lean more abstract, cold, unnatural, unnerving, alien. Jens looming over the crowd, haunting them, as you put it... So accurate

They've been playing it slower in recent years and MAN is the live version heavy. Ridiculous.

idk if it would sound quite as good with their new style. NMCC sounded amazing when they were doing their super raw and energetic style with grindy guitars. Now it sounds more smoothed out but heavier and more precise, Future Breed Machine still sounds amazing in the new style but NMCC would definitely sound off

@@Slicklickz what does 2 box mean

@@mattiodowd3209 triggered samples. Could sound better if mixed differently.

A lot of metal kick drums unfortunately do...but especially in this live mix because there’s a lot of low-end missing

Tick tick tick tick

I would play it somewhere in the beginning. It's crazy.

His legs must be like 100 year old oak trees

Personally either somewhere in the middle of the set, or at the end is perfect. There's a certain point of playing drums where if you push past, you'll pretty much tap into almost endless stamina. I've read Gene Hoglan in SYL/Death days would play the majority of a set with ankle weights on, then take them off towards the end for more endurance demanding pieces.

Calf muscles hand sculpted by god himself

It's in between Lethargica and Demiurge, because they're relatively less intensive songs for Tomas to play. They're a bit slower and easier, so he gets at least a bit of a rest before and after Bleed. It's a pretty well-designed setlist to accommodate for how demanding Bleed is.

It's probably only one song with major key in long fragment, epic.

Makes my hair stand up every time I hear it.

@@phydauex My bollocks switched places the first time I heard it.

Agreed. Not my most enjoyable type of screams. But Meshuggah is god tier metal.

hell yes. he is on it here. Brutal. Not a flat scream to be heard. That's true aggro vox. None of that cliche death metal stuff. So over the bear growl "im so scary" sound from 1990 that so many bands still do unfortunately. What Jens does... you cant cheat with it. You cant learn any tricks for it. He screams raw mostly mid range. Shit hurts. Trial by fire. Just gotta do it to build and a physical tolerance for it over time.

Cause he knows how to growth thats why mostly the dudes that just scream with lungs , no technique , they are voiceless by his age

He has gotten so much flak over the years. But, also to me, he has become such an integral part to the quality of this band's sound. I honestly don't know if he has gotten better over the years or maybe I just learned to appreciate him more, but I could not imagine Meshuggah without him today. In any case, his screams grew dear to my heart and I see his originality; like a commenter before me mentioned, it's not cliche death metal stuff. I salute him to staying true to his style!

If it hurts when you sing, you're doing it wrong. I'm pretty sure he got there through proper vocal training. I don't mean academy, but actually training his vocal cords to withstand the fry. You don't get this good by wrecking your vocal apparatus. No such thing as tolerance. It's like saying you can build a tolerance to cutting. It doesn't work that way.

User name checks out 👍 smartest thing I've ever heard anyone say.

translation: " Meshuggah is my favorite band, therefore, no other band is as good!" and 2nd, learn to spell their name even CLOSE to correctly next time you tell everyone how much better they are than any other band...lol ;)

@@buckfuttler2877 You don't need to be able to spell to have valid opinions.

@@Sunedosa you should probably respect the band by spelling their name right.

@@Sunedosa i mean, he wasnt even close.

and when you realize the drummer is 49...

lmao

Sick

😆

Fan or hater? 🤪

Pravus is one of the smartest riffs ever written though. That thing sounds like you’re tumbling inside a cosmic kaleidoscope.

you will have the time of your life

See them at a venu as their own gig as opposed to these festival style things. It's a way better experience for sound and light IMO. Can't wait for them to come back to AUS :(

It is a slippery slope of addiction, I've seen them 10 times and I suffer severe withdrawal symptoms from not having them play close to me since 2017. I hope to catch them next summer.

Just realized i saw them -94 :D In a barn type of stage

Do it,make that journey you won't regret it.ive been lucky enough to see them twice right on my doorstep.amazing band.

It's the nature of the highest artistic expression; playing any Meshuggah song on guitar is also addictive (especially if it's deciphered by ear).

Going 100 mph down the interstate!!!

Almost every day for 10+ years. Drinking coffee in the morning doesn't get boring either. Same thing basically for me

I know right? what a song...

You cannot possibly get bored with that masterpiece. It's too f'n badass and Haake's drumming is not of this world.

I feel that way about Slipknot 😩🤘

It’s kind of extra terrestrial

@@ImTrippy25 slipknot is trash these guys are actually good

@@mb-dz4ph slipknot are pretty good musicians tho, not everyone is fucking meshuggah

its sounds like the diesel motor that drives heavy metal music. literally. its insane.

Holy shit, we got him, he's NOT a robot 😂

@@lostknotdown4ever As a programmer i can confirm that robots do fail, so it's still possible Tomas are an advanced AI. But it sounds more like its a fault from the mic than the actual drums to me.

Very true

Under appreciated just means they aren’t mainstream. They are the most influential metal band ever

@@pepekekovic5899 Dunno, but very huge influence, but overall they have the most brutal breakdowns.

yeah what even is that??

@@aidansimmers6146 I think it’s just the guitars sliding to the 12th fret and probably higher.

So asmr-ish 🤤

@@aidansimmers6146 It's the bass guitarist sliding and bending the string repeatedly in perfection sync with the drums. That's why it sounds the way it does. So he's sliding down the neck on the bass and bending the string at the same time. Basic enough thing to do on the instrument but it sounds awesome when it's done well!

Legends say, great metal bands who visit planet Earth all come from different galaxy, which code name is S.W.E.D.E.N.

Complete truth.

there is an asari quartet that might disagree

gotta agree: this is quite astonishing musicianship.

and every universe

In such piece of art as music their message that you described is really strong, beatieful and meaningful. Discipline and lifelong focus on what you are doing, they live on their music, with their music. Priceless

i've been noticing that rockaplast crowd is shit

Mikail Rahmadnegara Shut up dammy

It's like Vikings in space.

they transcend time and space

Me too I was really flashed at the concert. 😁🤘

The presentation itself is very good. Were the vocals a little better when he was younger?

babymetal is better

Das war der hammer. Ich hab auch null gemosht nur begeistert die Musik angehört

@@skippityblippity8656 ohja Born in dissonance hab ich geheadbangt den rest einfach nur genossen. Die lichter machen die party 😍

The universe wishes it could be as heavy as Meshuggah

In other words, this got posted just in the nick of time.

It really is. Not only is the song ridiculously dexterous, the specific grooves themselves are certified legit. When you've played along on guitar or another instrument and really learn what's going on, you appreciate it even more. Noooobody else is writing shit EXACTLY like that

Bleed is one of those songs that are popular for a reason. There's so much going on with this song. The catchy main riff and the anthemic vocal structure are in total antithesis with what Haake plays. Meshuggah's songwriting is just phenomenal.

Not even their best song tbh, Dancers, New Millenium and The Demon's Name is where it's at

Meshuggah is one of the greatest bands of all time

I don't understand how a group of human beings can actually play it. I play death metal on guitar constantly and have been playing for 25 years and that song wears my arm out after about a minute. Shit is completely ridiculous.

Kyle Sharman the lighting is altogether insane 🤘🧐

Thought exactly the same, by far the best in my opinion

There’s a video circling around of the lighting engineer practicing - basically playing the lights like an instrument! It’s awesome

@@Someone89a That was quite a few years ago. They're programmed now so that it's completely seamless. Check out Edvard Hansson's MA-Land pre-pro video for Born In Dissonance. It's the best mosh pit you'll ever see🤣

LSD fellings

D B IIRC this has been the case since early 2018. Some sort of tendon issues in his wrist I believe. Either way, not complaining about Nilsson in Meshuggah whatsoever

There's a rumor that they're in the studio working on material right now

Man i was thinking, did Thordendal go bald and grew a beard??? That doesn't look right lol

Was about to say that

D B I think that, at first, Fredrik had a child and wanted to stay home with his family for a while. I don’t know about the injury and other reasons mentioned here, but I recall that being a reason at the beginning.

Domination - Pantera Moscow 1991 *enters the chat*

I fucking love Meshuggah, but I have to say that I've never liked this song

Dude, it's not even the heaviest Meshuggah breakdown... Demiurge tho (and Future Breed Machine for pure brutality)

"I" breakdown in Dehumanization: am i a joke to you, i was set up by 40 minutes of the rest of the album

@@mathprodigy another great candidate

I kind of feel like that’s how a lot of people would be during a show of theirs. You have intentions of going to a metal concert, moshing a little, laughing, screaming, and having a great time. But you ended up at a Meshuggah concert. You stood there with your hands on your head, glued to one spot on the floor, mouth agape and barely blinking for an hour and a half. Never taking your eyes off the gentlemen on stage. You were completely blown away in a way and on a level that you didn’t even know was possible. You walked out looking for validation to your response to it all. And you got it, because all you could see was shock and disbelief on the face of everyone else that was there as you all slowly and quietly piled out of the venue.

True lmao

seriously. what the hell is this mix?

@@TheHitchboy I know right!! I think it's safe to say we're listening to a straight out the board PA-ish mix? Not an 'aux send' one for some reason. It's almost 2020 and we're still getting these hehe

@@MixYourWay I dont think so. PA-mix usually means bathtub EQ: lots of lows, reduced mids, lots of highs... Theres something wrong with the sound is this video...

@@Chris-yy7qc In that case then shit's even weirdier than we thought xDDD

They're playing with a click.

These guys rarely move around or bang heads. They dont need to do anything, their music speaks for itself. Their stage presence is being absolute gods of their instrument

@@JoshRudi thanks man

They are unreal live amazing power man u feel it

yup youtube doesnt carry the full image im afraid tho i saw them at this very concert and his screams sound as if someone tried to scream for the first time and does it by force I MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY he is so powerful in his delivery

He’s amazing player Per Nilsson and nobody even notices. He’s substitute to F. Thordendal since 2017. And in video description isn’t mentioned. :(

You're right, he doesn't get enough credit

yanqui yeah :/ it’s still fantastic, spot on!

Pretty sure they actually have a guy who controls them manually for meshuggah! I believe he is related to one of the band members

He's played the lead guitarist for two and a half years in the band at this point, I'd consider him a member already. lol

I'd love to have three guitarists in Meshuggah, beast sound!

where is fred? im a bit confused about the lineup

Without a doubt the most professional musicians you’ll ever see. NOTHING they do takes away from the music.

All killer no filler

First sex with EDI, the CD came right after koRn Issues. I had this revolving CD players. Looking back, that was some crazy moment.

@@EnCrypticon23x It has been programmed since around 2012 (Koloss) when they started using in ear click tracks. It was impressive before when it was done live, and it is impressive now, because it is so much more going on that matches everything so fucking majestically.

@@adamnilsson566 so, it's timecoded? It would make sense for something like this since timing on everything is so tight. Either way, it's rad as fuck and nothing but respect for the programmer.
