When he was born, the doctor told his parents: 'congratulations, it's a metronome!'
Lol..lol
Brilliant 👏🤣

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@@everettlondon1384 what about the "forgot password?" button?
"Wikipedia says your father is Zeus."
Thomas: Yup.
Odin
That explains why he plays the kick so fast
Should have said Chronos, you know Zeus dad!
lol
@@slipknot_fan_1337 it’s not necessarily the speed that makes him so good, it’s the precision and speed combined that makes him crazy. It’s not to hard to get a decently clean, decently fast double bass but once you get to play complex rhythms at super fast speeds. That’s when it starts getting really difficult.
-Is drummer for a ridiculously brutal band
-like the nicest guy
Also I have that exact guitar in the background, it's an LTD M-17
If you haven't already you should see interviews with corpse grinder from cannibal corpse. Such a nice guy and a straight up nerd even. Completely unexpected
Its funny that the people who perform the softest of pop songs are assholes while the guys who perform songs about killing people are nice guys.
@@KTF0 Probably because the metal bands have an outlet for life's frustrations and anger that the pop stars don't have.
@@KTF0 It's ALWAYS like that. Pop stars sleep, cheat, beat, etc... meanwhile, members of some of the world's heaviest bands are sweet, gentle, family guys : Tom Araya has been married with the same woman for 25+ years, has two kids, lives on his ranch, Dave Ellefson and Dave Mustaine are devout Christians, etc...
*Two band members lose fingers within months of eachother*
"That was a bad year..."
massive attack pfp? awesome
Nice pfp my man
He speaks better english than many actual english-speaking people.
Your comment makes no sense. Some people are english-speaking but actually in a very crappy way.
@@dvlart5588 Your comment makes no sense…
@@dvlart5588 Like Björk.
people in sweden are native english speakers if you mean that. they have no choice
@@felixh7132 interesting! I was wondering why swedes usually speak it so fluently. I cant even detect an accent
Can you get Haake behind the hello kitty kit?
R.I.P Kitty kit! 😂
Oh YES!!!! JUST DOOOO ITTTTT!!!
They at least have to add a double bass drums for that time
YESSS
Bleed on Hello kitty kit. yessir pls
How can this fucker play so crazy tight with injuries like that. Holy fuck he's awesome, one of my favourite drummers for sure.
Mind over matter!
@@user-bu3mb7gk3eAs it should be, coming from a clump of atoms which has the ability to study itself. :D
Such a chill dude. Kinda like a Big Lebowski of metal.
yes he kind of reminds me of lebowski too
Remember Jens' shirt in The Ophidian Trek blu ray?
"The dude abides"
Best comment ever xD
***** YES.
he looks like a skyrim nord, its fuckin awesome
because he's nord :D
Hahahahaha, last time I played Skyrim I made a nord character named Haake
the whole band does to be honest, besides jens maybe
Heavy Metal Gandalf!
Do you have fur coming out of you ears?
He acts like he's not a robot but I'm not buying it.
I used to think he was an alien of some kind in a humansuit
Haakes first words when entering the rehearsal room on his first day with Meshuggah:
"I am a cybernetic drum machine, living tissue over metal endoskeleton"
An Austrian Death Machine?
@@mgonzalez8880 nah SWEEDIH DEATH MACHINE!
TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA
TwixtheWizard I don’t even need audio to know what song that is
lol im making the sound
Bleeeeeeeeeeed
BEAMS OF FIRE SWEEP THROUGH MAH HEAD
🤣
haake's english sounds amazing
You mispelled sounds American.
+Tonito *sounds british
There's no such thing as a British accent.
sounds swedish
u know ... alot of sweds are more or less fluent in english, but i guess all the tours and interviews in america and canada not been a negative thing as far as his english goes
Has a disability in his right foot - plays like a God. Amazing. I've seen him live twice. Both flawless performances.
Actually? Wow. What’s Lars excuse then?
@@tromboneman4517 didn't exercise enough
@@fabio4910 except for his mouth.
Flawless performance last month in Gothenburg. I don't think I've ever heard them play a note wrong, ever. They play together like machinery.
Only Meshuggah can lose fingers and still do what they do to their instruments on a regular basis.
Aaron Mitchell Tony Iommi ?
InfinyteGard3n he basically invent the heavy metal tone so thanks infernal accident of his
DEF. LEPPARD.
@@joshprice7228 Yea I mean he did lose a damn arm
Only Meshuggah can play what Meshuggah play.
Meshuggah doesn't write concept albums - except for the one that deals with paradoxes...I don't see a problem with that ^^
LMAO exactly my thought
No... they dont but they do which is a paradox within something about paradoxes lol
what does concept album mean
@@fekdaleo Normal albums are just a collection of songs, that aren't strongly connected in regard of their topic, story or theme. A concept album is a little bit like an opera: It consists of multiple songs/parts, that have a strong inner connection in telling one story and often are also connect through musical themes, like reprises or other forms of reoccuring elements. Concept albums are often found in progressive rock and metal.
@@tornoutlaw okay, thanks.
what a polite and eloquent djent battlemage he is
Graham is such a nice interviewer, very respectful and hospitable.
Good job man!
Shut up, Graham.
You're cool, Graham.
+R-01 yeah I found it really cringy as well...
qtaltube He is now. But in the older videos he is horrible.
@@thewildhealer541 true
He looks like an old knight who renounced violence and teaches the main character how to be an honorable warrior
can we just have a daily show with Tomas Haake?
Better than Trevor Noah
Yes
@@slipknot_fan_1337 I’m the same person who made this reply
"Yeah"
-Tomas Haake
tomas is in so many interviews and features right now that i'm pretty sure he's omnipresent
*omnipotent
did u just correct my appropriate use of omnipresent? or are u making a joke about mr haake's drum skillz
Just looking at their avatar and screen name I think they should get a pass
I thought the term "omnipotent" would be a fitting description, of Tomas's drum skills.
Omnipresence is one of the abilities awarded you when your drumming skills elevates you to the status of minor deity.
Unfortunately, the disappointing lack of lies caused Tomas to Suffer in Truth.
I see what you did there tom
Awesome!
Graham used his rational gaze while he combed through wikipedia to find these questions.
Tydytydytym tydydydydym tydydydydym tydytydytym suffer in truuuuth!
hahahahahaha
For being arguably one of the best metal drummers ever...he is so cool and humble
Tomas says as much "yeah" as James Hetfiled in his songs.
I've heard it's kind of a cultural thing. I actually didn't hear it all that much to be honest.. In their rig rundown video, Kent Kruune, their guitar tech will show you just how much you can get away with saying "yeah."
I'll check, thanks ;)
or Rob Zombie even..
Now I wanna see those two jam. Thanks for that LOL
its like Ja
He has the use of his legs... even after Bleed... man he's amazing
This band was ahead of its time wayyyyyy ahead. This mans sense of time is amazing!
He looks like such a dad. I mean he is one but he looks like the daddiest dad in the whole world of dads. This is amazing. Love it. He looks like the kind of dad who does a huge lot of work around the house and builds garden sheds from scratch and then there's even a little outhouse next to the shed and he's a self-sustenance farmer in his free time and plays the double bass in a country band but actually he's making the meanest music this side of Merzbow, it's fucking awesome, I love this so much.
Wormwood oooo fuck off
He does look like you could crawl into his lap and fall asleep while he tells a fantastical story...
And I reeeeeeeally love when someone who calls himself Absinthe spaces away totally into sheds, darling and double bass country when describing a dude.
I can almost here him read Higglety Pigglety Pop by Maurice Sendak😂
@@Stephanie-yj3cw i fucking laugh so hard with your comment, thanks 💓
I think its amazing how this guy looks old and young at the same time...
Tomas has fucking awesome hair!! I always love this interviewers enthusiasm for who he's interviewing. You can obviously tell he listens to all of these bands.
0:11 just look at his legs, he is drumming even when he is not drumming. God of drumming
thats called unconsciously drummer nervousity . when you have a a full time job as a drummer or you adress alot with drums like i do and youre obsessed with drums you are thinking about drums in every situation in every place everywhere no matter wich time no matter where you go or what you do. the disavantage is you get pretty nervous when you cant play drums but you body whants to play drums. In this situation the body compensates that with leg movements when you sit somewhere. you can control if you body moves but sometimes you cant so it happens very often
@@DavidKrautscheid stfu. Im no drummer and i always do that
It was Bleed patterns!
Haake is a beast behind the kit. And seems like a gentleman, too. What a phenomenal drummer and band!
This is the first interview I've ever seen with Tomas, the first time I've heard him speak, and it's amazing to me how little of an accent he has. Very interesting.
I'm a Swede and even if Swedes is known for speaking and understanding English very well i'm still a bit surprised of how fluent he actually is 👏 I wouldn't be able to speak at his level even though i think i'm avarage atleast 😄 But i think that when it comes to Swedes talking English, overall we have a pretty small accent compared to alot of countries. Atleast what i've noticed 😄👍
@martinfranzen9151 yeah it's very noticeable with NHL players. Every Swede spending time In Canada or the US has virtually no accent.
Thomas Gandalf
Gandalf the great still.. wondering when he will morph into Haake the White. Lol..
*y e s*
Top of the food chain. Absolute BEAST. Also can be said for the whole band.
I had no idea he had those issues with his leg. He still plays Bleed perfectly. Incredible.
This guy is such a good drummer
Little did you know that Tomas Haake actually is the father of every metronome on Earth.
Meshuggah says periphery coined the term, periphery says meshuggah...
IIRC, in an old interview with Misha, he said he got it from the Meshuggah forums when Fredrik would type djent djent djent (not sure if that's the spelling from the get go) to simulate the sound of his guitar when played palm muted.
+PolarBimbi He actually said it in the Nothing making-of documentary, describing the tone.
This is true. I was fortunate enough to be a member of the Mesh forums on Tandjent back in the early 00's and it was well known on there what the word was and how it was used. I mean look at the name/band of the forum. Tandjent. The word has been around forever. Still wish the forum was around though.
***** Sevenstring.org is generally welcoming of ERG guitars (duh) and the music lended to it, definitely my favourite music forum.
Mac I made an account a while back but just don't use it. Honestly I say that I'd like to have the old Mesh forum back but thinking back to all the elitists that basically ran everyone off from the forum, nah, it's better off gone. I miss the material on it though. Lots of stuff straight from Meshuggah members on there and now it's gone.
Meshuggah are modern day Beethovens and mozarts. In 1000 years if people remember a metal band for technical skill and writing it will be meshuggah.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!
Ancient Viking Soothsayer from across the eldstaden, staring into your soul, within the half buried and snow topped hurstwic... who also happens to be a badass drummer.
"so it's the Tommi Iommi things"
I cried
That guy is called Tony...Tony Iommi...
Those things should be called "Iommis"
The man's a living legend and he's such a nice guy ! Props to him for keeping that humble with so much talent
He is so nice I could cry forever.
How does he not get excited when meeting all these famous people?!?
Graham you're getting much better at interviews, dude. This is a really great one.
He injured his hand in a Grindr accident......let that sink in.
I love Meshuggah but that shit's funny.
***** I know but he didn't specify spelling. I understand it was a grinder and not Grindr but which of those options sounds funnier?
Jokes are like frogs, if you dissect them they die.
touche.
ok you win.
I wonder if that was the inspiration to tge song Bleed xD
What an inspirational recovery attitude: build around it Tomas!!!
Meshuggah writes concept albums about paradoxes, thats friggin epic.
INSTANT CLICK
*clicc
+Oscar Bear meshuccah
+Marcello Chua Mesuccah*
what an amazing dude. Refreshing honesty
Love you Tomas. You too Graham. Keep it up bros.
I Compare his kick drumming to the sound of a tricked out Harley-Davidson idling at a stoplight before a drag race.
You guys have no idea how brilliant this man is.
The hell I dont. I've been a fan of these bad ass mofos before it was cool.
For real. Meshuggah is out of this world. And every world.
@@redmantra07 Hell yeah Mr. Mantra that is the Complimentary Color of Green, you know what’s up!
@@Egoblivion hahah that's the best interpretation of my username I've ever seen. thanks dude! \m/
"Ritual" from the None-EP is awesome. It has such a grungy vibe and includes even some singing, lol.
Had the same issue with my left leg. Had six damn surgeries my days of fast drumming are behind me. Glad Haake is still going man he’s so incredible.
One of the unluckiest bands in the world. All the health issues and still putting out amazing music after all these decades. Sheer grit!
The ear vertigo is called "vascular vertigo", usually caused by some sort of an infection. The infection disrupts the signals that the balance organ (idk the name) sends to your brain. Moving your head from left to right or up and down (either one or the other, but it can change over time) will give you the sensation of falling over backwards, while making you very dizzy and nausous. You will lose your balance and you fall, hard, as the dizziness is so severe you're unable to break your fall. It's almost like passing out for a split second, signal lost, going through a tunnel can't hear ya kggkggkgg. Last but not least, the nausea is so severe you will vomit, everytiem.
Just in case anyone wondered/cares.
If you get this call for an ambulance asap.
AMA.
I got benign paroxysmal positional vertigo a couple of times, but apparently that one's caused by crystals that form in my inner ear and bounce around or some shit
He is such a great guy, calm would like to hear him all day
My favorite drummer!
Graham's pretty lucky. He's gotten to see a lot of great metal personalities through loudwire. Keep it up Graham!
I hope im not the only one expecting a meshuggah wikipedia: fiction or fiction episode.
@7:27 yea I was a electrician and drummer for the first half of my life (about 20 years) and once you get back issues, they pretty much stick forever. you can have good times where there is no pain or anything . but the risk of injury just increases every year. for me it all started while manually pounding in a ground rod with a sledge hammer and had a slip. now I do an inversion table and it has changed everything.
He's so incredibly chill
Currently dealing with a herniated disc in my lower back. It gives me great hope to see one of my favorite drummers have a successful career even with ongoing complications.
My most respected drummer
I just got into meshugga and that drummer is phenomenal and I'm just watching interviews of the band mates
Dude, he's so humble.
I'm weirded out how nice all these metal musicians are. Not that I didn't "know" many of them before hand, but all of them are so heart-warming in this show.
Opeth logo next to Haake's left arm
Great American accent though wow! Greatness in one, lotta respect and love Tom, thank you and Meshuggah
I like that Tomas was eager to speak in this interview, seems like a good guy.
When Tomas buys a metronome the metronome immedialtely starts getting drum lessons.
This man's English is perfect.
This guy is such a great musician but yet so humble.
my god what a sweet man!!!!! he alone is beauty and the beast
THEY DIDN'T COIN THE TERM DJENT? My life is a lie
I think they are more or less the reason this term exists but they didn't make it up.
I'm pretty sure fredrick actually did coin the term while trying to describe the tone on DEI. I believe Misha has even said this
But that would explain why Meshuggah has said over the years that they don't consider themselves to be a djent band but a metal band.
Eduardo Navarro misha mansoor did
Eduardo Navarro Stevie T coined it
Please do one of these with Jon Schaeffer from Iced Earth!!!
YES!!!! They never get coverage on this channel.
AGREED SO HARD
my favorite tune would have to be 10,000 Strong
+Ruben Nunez with Stu on vocals
Nothing beats Burn Offerings an Dante's Inferno but the last albums were quite good.
Tomas is a cool guy and awesome drummer.
I went to the Boston show Nov. 2 and saw him outside their tour bus. It was really weird and awesome seeing him like 10 feet away haha, like oh here's this legendary metal drummer in front of us, no big deal.
I didn't know Meshugga had all that adversity! Amazing they overcame it.
He sounds American.
An entity as sophisticated as he surely can choose so.
I've found that's the case with quite a few Swedes, I met The Haunted and a few members of the band sound American too.
Love you Tomas.
I saw them during the no bassist tour supporting Machine Head. Been a massive fan since.
Damn that's a nice goatee.
His beard is so fuckn' symmetrical.
I like that guy and his drumming as well.... ; )
Love Tomas.
hardest working calves in the stratosphere
I've always approached Meshuggah records as concept albums. I know what they mean to me. Chaosphere is like a sordid tale of transhumanism.
A man trading in his parts for machinery.
wow, for being the guy who plays the bleed drum intro he sounds like a really chill dude.
You know he also plays the rest of the song too
Watching this. realised that I was listening to I and Catch 33 as they came out in a village that barely had Internet - some of this is news to me 15 years on.
Interesting. I always thought their drummer was a cyborg.
I GOT vertigo , its a fucking nightmare. im so glad it went away, i dont know if i could keep going if i had that for life, i still am terrified it will come back
I had vertigo for a couple of weeks in high school. I still get flashes of it for a few seconds or a minute or so occasionally. It definitely sucks.
He is too epic, I feel like a star struck kid when I watch this god amongst men.
is there an Axl Rose candle in the background??
Yep
MrNipplegate
No
Yes
Sounds like Meshuggah's bassist Peter Nordin has Meniere's Disease.
Indeed
My grandpa had it. It was horrible
what a great guy
What a beast of a man 🔥
