Dude, I’ve studied drums for years, absorbed every Meshuggah record, and have seen them live a handful of times. I still have only “ideas” of wtf Tomas is doing.

He plays 2 songs at once.

Dudes a beast

ahahaahahahaha

Did you ever see the interview where he talked about having nerve damage in his leg around the time they were slated to tour Koloss? He couldn't keep time on the bass and almost scrapped it

The heaviest outro ever!

@@pablotrujillofierro4435 This and Remembrance by Gojira

@@Gojira214 agreed! Remembrance outro sounds like gun machines! beautiful chaos

@@pablotrujillofierro4435 Oh for sure bro. Good stuff, eh?

Best breakdown ever 🤤

+Soulkey sbr same pen as in the very expensive music video

Probably they gave back that to that billionaire. You know, that was from his special collection

@@serhat6181 ah yes. The pencil of doom.

feels like some gears of war shit. imagine how intense that could be

HAHAHAHAHAH

you would not believe that this song came out in 1998 would u???

goosebumps

pktgfishbone i can't believe they're not using in-ear monitors

@@andreideaconu7232 allegedly, they don't record to click either...or so the legend goes...

@@andreideaconu7232 i believe ever since the early 2010s (2012 ish?) they've been using click track in ear monitors live so they could very precise and in time with the programmed lights. You might notice that Tomas no longer counts down with a cymbal before a song, that is because the click track counts down for them. That or Meshuggah actually has psychic powers to communicate with each other before each song and count down telepathically, or they could alsobe robots. or just be total badasses that they don't need a countdown to start a song simultaneously

they make clocks for the NASA spacial program.

@@virnalinebrida-sunga7748 the lighs isnt really programmed, a crazy dude controls it

+OMAC I totally agree even though you probably know that the whole concert was edited to bring a better sound into the DVD.

+Hoxton Larrington Yes, I know. I have the album. Fantastic recording (and editing).

OMAC yeah I haven’t heard anything this tight since AC/DC

they dont rock neither do they metal, they black hole

@@moai6760 it wasn't edited it was recorded off the mix board. Essentially hearing exactly what it would have sounded like without the acoustics of the room or the crowd and other standing waves in the vicinity

see I need people like you in my life that understands the assrippingamzzingballsness of that riff. your comment gave me peace

Mile0 then it came back?? MATY, do drugs

Same brother

Mile0 the violent sleep of reason should end your depression permanently.

this comment is underated

Never seen a comment more relatable than this....

First time ever even *heard* 'em bois was first row Brutal Assault 2013... Only recollection of events: brain couldn't understand what body was dancing to, but then one of 'em deeper selves stopped the worrying and encouraged the banging. Been scarred for life since. Whenever a headache kicks in, it gets best kicked out to this track's Ophidian Trek's version. Best sounding album discovered thus far... Life's not been the same since. It's been better: I've found the "Play" button. Meshuggah srly gud bois. ✊🏽

😂😂😂😂

Get a balcony, center, and bask yourself in the strobes. If you're a mosh whimp, like me, there is no better substitute experience.

I saw them with tool twice. It was bad ass

Misha from periphery says it all the time “they’re the only band that hypnotises people”

hear* lol

It's legit one of my favorite breakdowns of all time

You got the point, bro. Arguably heaviest shit I've heard in my fucking life.

Breakdowns are a gift from heavy metal Jesus for sure 🤟

Loudwire placed this outro in number 3 in "10 greatest breakdowns of all time"

hahaha made my day

Lmaooo

Like comparing apples to oranges

I personally like it more just mainly due to the production and Jens evolved here it feels like@@Sneak248

For real! Especially Jens's half-voice-half-growl being replaced with full-fledged growling here. And the breakdown at 4:08... Bruuuuh this is ear crack.

And why arent they playing with air

Your fraze is like a main riff Dj-dj-dj Djent_djent-djent

I don't know where the pen is.

I just like you

Well they do love juice.. props for noticing!

they're a good response to all dumbass elitists

***** This is because, not only are they very good musicians, but also is their music quiet simple, not over-arranged with many details. They have a simple receipe : no chords, no melody/harmony, groove/weird synched rythmics, and a fucking soul in it. As a consequence, in live, there is no technical limit ^^. This band is certainly the most innovative music act since 20 years.

+Jérémy Belin I don't agree with you Jerem (je suis français aussi mais je parlerai en anglais pour que tout le monde comprenne). The technique resides in groove. To play these stuffs, you've got to have an extremely good sense of tempo. It's difficult playing syncoped rythm and especially off-beats insofar as it's very strict (rigorous). Take a look at The mouth licking what you've bled or Dancers to a discordant system. These guys are all alive metronomes. It might be simple compared to death metal bands, but let me tell you it's very hard to keep the time correct for the whole song when you play it.

+Zbim Bam of course it's still difficult to play, but far away from technical death metal like Obscura or Spawn Of Possession for example. Thinking that brutal death metal is just about speed is often a big mistake (depends on the band of course). Polyrithmics are also in speed oriented death metal bands, which is more difficult to play. But Meshuggah, with its slow paced extreme metal, has huuuge amount of grooves, not the case for extreme death metal ^^.

Or Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Misery Index, Pig Destroyer :P But I meant compared to speed, it's sure Meshuggah seems little beside. However it's much groovier ;)

+Zbim Bam exactly ! These guys puts maybe 4 different notes in their guitar lines, not more....but it's fuckingly efficient as hell!

Manny Padilla same

I'm sorry I might be the first to inform you, but Mr. Einstein has been dead for quite a while now, and it started way before meshuggah was born...

boy its a joke

Dlxmz 14 he made a joke aswell

Haake is Einstein reincarnate

r/woosh

I'm listening from 2030.

Hang on suka

yyyyyyes sir

When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I will be listening to Chaosphere. And my family will say to me, 'After all this time?' And I will say, 'Always."

Shut up

hahaha, you got an upvote for the factual based laughs!

And I LOVE ABBA as well...

ABBATH*

Great thing metal fans usually love ABBA! I know i do:)

As a metal head, I fucking love ABBA

The music video. Its literally perfect

My head ALWAYS bangs - it's a reflex, I swear...!!!

so sick everytime!!

The best kind of headbanging is synchronized headbanging with your bros. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

ElectroWench hahaha

@ElectroWench Haake is brutal!

He’s a great dude,as is his brother. Met them a couple times in Philly. Haakes brother came up w Thordendals guitar effect as well,which is a cool fact.

Look shocked and move slowly towards the door.

Never noticed that till just now, fuck yeah

It's how he keeps time. He's a clock with a huge dick who plays drums with 5 limbs.

Soul dick

Hear that! The best thing about Meshuggah is how much groove Haake brings.

I like the studio version better, it keeps going and going. Lol. \m/

it sounds like black hole xD

Interesting parallel. Must dig it.

Why?

can't see it

I get it 👍

I think you need to stay off the drugs lol

They have ruined live music for me, in the best way possible

@@ToluRobertson they toured in italy yet nobody of my friends wanted to come with me. Better go alone next time

Literally it’s either vicious head banging or this; there’s no in between. I’m still both whenever I see them
