Please rise for the Swedish National Anthem.

Meshuggah, the only band where 4 guys can headbang at different speeds and they’re all right

Meshuggah has forever broken me, any other metal band looks like learning the ABC's now.

They are all headbanging in different rhythms but they are all right lol

Imagine getting headbutted by their vocalist. The way he bangs his head, your neck would break like a fuckin toothpick.

Just imagine Kidman's child (if he has one). If i was him i would never make my dad angry. What a voice.

That ending is so heavy, Jupiter's gravity is jealous.

Pissed off scandinavians, got to love 'em.

Heard this song live in Nov 2023, one of the best songs in the set. Not a single note missed the entire set.

One of the best fucking metal bands in the world. Seen them 3 times and they never fail to impress.

when the polyrhythm hits u hard

That snare got me fucked up.. I’ll never forget seeing these dudes play live. One of the few times I’ve “felt” the music flow through me.. It hit so hard and was just incredible to witness. Never grooved so hard

how is it possible to be this much of a badass

I love how Jens headbangs on the crash. :D

decades over Jens scans the crowd with his under bite scowl to find someone who knows where they are in the song and what he's saying ...and every song he loses it to the disappointment of never being able to observe this phenomena.

Jens Kidman is not a very muscular man, but I feel like he could make even the strongest man in the world cower.

I shall name my son, Meshuggah

I will never hear pre-obzen meshuggah played live in america. existence is suffering.

verse riff makes my face look like I ate a bag of sour patch

actually it is a polymeter, so it is both in 7/8 and 4/4 at the same time. The guitar riff is diffenitely 7/8, but the drums are 4/4 every ninth guitar measure is in 4/4, so that it makes a total of 8 4/4 measures. 8*7/8+4/4 = 8 * 4/4 Jens kidman headbangs in 7/8, while thordendal headbangs in 4/4

this is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. them kicking off this live record with it was such a fucking awesome move. then again it's Meshuggah, not surprised. This song with the slightly sped-up live feel and the fact it's in their standard F rather than the low E it was recorded in just makes this live performance so much beast mode.

The Nothing album is the sound of pure testosterone and rhythmic genius!

in 2002 Meshuggah did Nothing and in 2005 they remastered Nothing

Every now and then I find myself having to come back to this particular song. Because the guitar solo is *BEES.*

Meshuggah tunes are actually quite simple, impeccable rhythm is what one must possess.

Jens-san, Fredrik-kun, Marten-chan, Dick-senpai, Tomas-sama, do your best!

Meshuggah is just BRUTAL. They've set the bar extremely high. Good luck up and becomers

i keep coming back to these live performance meshuggah videos. The energy they have is on another level. Its so ruthlessly powerful

amazing solo in this recording

I'm starting to think Haake is a robot

I tried to mow my lawn listening to this but I accidently mowed myself and this message never happ...

This is brutal..

They are so damn amazing live!!!!

My heart goes out to this guy, God bless him. I can hear the pain of what the sysyem does to your soul.

The only band where the singer and the guitarrist can headband at different time signatures

HEY, WANT TO MAKE EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AS A DRUMMER? Sure ITS FOR MESHUGGAH N-no thanks

Best band ever in metal

Anyone else notice how his voice opens up after the second verse? So badass

Everyone in the band is feeling that time very differently its insane... Thomas Haake is a mastermind man...

my god that groove is righteous

Meshuggah is so...fucking...HEAVY AS FUCK. HOLY SHIT.

All through the song, this fu*** Thomas Haake is counting the time on his fuc*** hit hat. Insane!

HOW DO THEY SOUND BETTER LIVE

Meshuggah is my drug.

these are the norse gods of rhythm.

Awesome camera work, just awesome.

My favorite song to play on drums. Meshuggah is the greatest.

Damn the way they open this song up was amazing! I love the lower camera angle that goes across the stage, captures meshuggah looking like gods!

Song is such a banger and you know the band is the shit when a vid is up for 10 + years and has zero dislikes lol

gives me chills...so good.

damn i seriously think it's the best LIVE mix I ever heard.. !!!

Im probably going to have a heart attack as a 72 year old man listening to a meshuggah track. My heart just wont be ablr to take it one day

1996 was the first time I had the privilege to see Meshuggah opening for Clawfinger in Germany. Since then.. I am Meshuggah fan. Id like to see a Beavis & Butt-Head review on one of their songs. Bleed, New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Pravus or Future Breed Machine :P

I thought Bleed is the heaviest Meshuggah song until I hear this..

no it's not. The two are often confused. An example of a polyrhythm would be dotted eights over straight quarter notes. That would be a 3/4 polyrhythm, since 3 quarter notes has the same duration as 4 dotted eights. But both rhythms would be in the same meter. It is called a polymeter, when there is at least 2 meters..

I was told there would be HQ

4:05 the fuck maybe the hardest drum patern by meshuggah fucking haake ....

What a sweet snare 🍬

One of my most favorite songs from this band \m/

Essa Banda Ao vivo, deve ser foda pra caraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalho! PQP! Que som destruidor!

Just finished reading a treatise on time signatures below. My cerebellum is firing on all cylinders.

Just fucking brutal

Oh My Fucking God. Meshuggah always starts its songs with the best fucking feedback noises ever. I can compile them all into a new song.

IT'S RAINING ANVILS HERE.

Wow..

How to enjoy meshuggah- first- follow haake groove especially bass than his snare and cymbals work Secondaly- add those drum groove upon fred and haeg guitar wankry, just like a layer of cake

UPLOAD 9 - 11 11 , NUMEROLOGIA RULES!!

everytime I listen to this band I try to imagine what the hell are they thinking about when they write songs

They sound awesome live.

3:36 Bowser stage in Super Mario

love this song

VERSE RIFF. That's all I can say.

Wow, just wow!

Yes I'm learning bleed on drums and hands are in 4/4 and that is the pulse of the song but the feet do every other time sig and hake only says everything he does is in 4/4 ... So talented its not even hard to do the poly-meter beats... I want that ease in drumming

hell yeah dance music

That solo is fucking amazing

i have no idea how to head-bang to this song. Is it the snare, the kick drum, the hi-hat, the bass guitar?

Might be top 3 heaviest from them

Agreed. But Their technicality is what makes meshuggah such a loved band. Switching form 7/8 and 4/4 is genius and there is a reason other great bands like animals as leaders do it as well. But What im saying metal is not all about being heavy and simply being metal. Its about capturing the agressiveness of life and of the musicans life as well. Why do you think Pantera is so popular?

Sweden’s answer to Beethoven.

Yes! Bow before the beast that is Meshuggah!

These guys rule!!!

This song is crazy 💯🔥🔥

This shit slaps so hard

MESUGGHAH FANS SHUOLD SEE THIS AS A PREFORMACE JEWEL! EPIC!

4:41 Yes.

coool time signature for the riff!!

There's nothing quite like that intro riff.

the headbanging is awesome in the beginning

Tap your foot (nod head/clap/tap on desk) along with haake's cymbal. That's your 4. Instead of counting a number each time it taps (4), count when it taps AND when it comes up making it an even 8 counts. Once you can do that, you have to be able to hear the phrasing of the instruments, or in this case, how many beats it takes for a riff to repeat itself. Once you find that, you want to start your 1 count when the riff repeats. The intro riff is 7 counts until the last phrase which is 8..

kind of concert i would love to mega stoned and let the rhythms fill my brain with awesomeness

they think if they argue about time signatures the wide world of youtube will think they are smart

I miss Fredrik what an animal

Ascending with a boil! Gets me every time!

Oh what i will do to see them live

dat ending so wicked.

This sound.. man, fckn kick ass, so groove

It's called syncopation, or moving around the beat. One of the most fun(in my opinion), and most difficult things to do in drumming, until you get the hang of it. Much like anything else.

if your girl is cool enough, absolutely!

I broke my neck listening to this.
