- "I'm in a band."
- "Which one?"
- "Meshuggah."
- "Woah! What instrument do you play?"
- "The lights."
Seriously. Best lighting I've ever seen, hands down. Fucking mind blowing.

@@minneapolisjeff3832 Yes, it was cool back then but this needs to stop getting spread around without the disclaimer that the lights have been programmed since shortly after that video was posted.
Edvard Hansson deserves the credit for his programming here and his UA-cam channel is also impressive.
top notch lights
Edvard is such a Boss 😎

My ears are still ringing from this concert 4 years later, and I wasn't even there.
The best Swedish band since Abba.
Yes!!!
Opeth!
CB Murdoc ain't bad too! (found out about em from a jens and tomas Q+ A)
Opeth! (1)

Any drummer: practices with metronome
Metronome: practices with Thomas Haake
LMAO
That was actually funny and kinda made my night. Thanks bro.
he's the Chuck Norris of music !
Clockworks, a piece of art.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the 6th member of the band? The lighting guy is an absolute beast.
Its a live in Germany....and one of the best metal festivals....i was there and had a blast
@@christosgikas735 lucky you
theres a way to trigger them directly off the equalizer - i wonder if they do that?
@@koonfoxmusic1472 I just came to comment on the lighting as well. I watched Bleed just now. Those lights have GOT to be triggered by the kicks or something. The light show is so amazing!!!
it's Haakes (The drummer) cousin, and most is live. been standing next to the board at several shows here in sweden.

Hey, that's me! MESHUGGAHER for life. I will find a way to go there man hahah!
it would hit the spot really
killing two birds with one stone

He likes Meshuggah.
So far so good...

Let's hope he's not a fan of Ted Bundy.
@@Kowinaida Haven't asked him if he likes Macabre.
It's a good sign, for sure. Plus, think about how respectable a person you need to be, in order to really be into Meshuggah...
I guess she went straight for a Meshuggah guy knowing it would be your soft side :)
I love how crowd starts screaming "meshuggah" in polyrhythms at 57:20
I started headbanging in 7/8
hahahah good catch
lolll
🙆😁
hahahahaha
50:20 Jens ' dancing as a different art form lol
Has just been adapted to the new AAL video Monomyth.
Hey this band’s pretty nifty!
Hi mish mish
You’re pretty nifty
You a monstaaa
bruh...
Yeah they’re a pretty cool up and coming outfit. I see a bright future for them.
I'm 64 years old and I love this band!
¡I'm 64 too and I love Meshughah too!!!

@@postmoderncondition3353i am 13.8 billion years old and i love this band
Meshuggah and Gojira on tour together would be epic . Imagine seeing Gojira and Meshuggah the same night.
Meshuggah would definitely need to headline
many ppl would die from groove
@@jebslept8515 very few survivors if any. Lol
Well, I think your wish has come true.
They both came to Poland this summer and performed the same day, I barely fucking survived man..
rumor has it that physicists at CERN sync their atomic clock with Tomas Haakes drumming
"This is the Large Hadron Collider, 27 kilometres in circumference, capable of smashing particles into each other with an energy of 13 teraelectronvolts per collision. I use it as a crash."
In the begining ,TIME asked Thomas , "what should i do ?" , and Thomas said , " Just follow my lead!!"
@@Christopher-md7tf Lol Thomas plays drums: new particle is created.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jens is such a powerful frontman without doing all that much. His stance on the speaker, the arms up, the toothy clench, the way he peers into the crowd. He’s a madman’s maestro.
Why don't you marry him
And he doesn't even have his glasses on!
I describe his stage presence as "menacing." He stalks and attacks. Man.
@@soundofsmoke383 get a life
True it doesn't do much, yet he has a lot of charisma
Such bands should play in Eurovision.
Unfortunately, Eurovision is reserved for shitty pop bands.
To kill cowards
Lordi!
Eurovision doesn't deserves meshuggah
I think Meshuggah would melt the ears right off of the simpletons at Eurovision.
there is nothing heavier than meshuggah
I'm only here because of a recommendation after watching a Gojira show.
But...God. This is life changing.
welcome mate
You have fallen down the rabbit hole, there is no turning back now...
Get yourself a record player and invest in their vinyls. You won't regret it
Me too
Gojira is just shitty Morbid Angel
57:27
what else to expect, even a fans of Meshuggah shouts polyrhythmically
It reminded me of a part of revolution no 9 by the Beatles
ladies and gentlemen… the undisputed, undefeated, heaviest band in the world.
is Per the most legendary fill in ever? like in any band ever? i can't think of even a close second
can all my fellow drummers just appreciate how good those ghost notes sound in this live.
Congrats to Meshuggah for succesfully opening a black hole on Earth.
Not only the ghost notes but all of Haakes drum playing is spot on
@@miserymourningstar4680 TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
It is a most impressive showing from our man. Even for him. Crushing drum sound & performance. The Feel. The Gold Standard. Questions? End.
Haake could prolly take a nap behind his kit and still! preform flawless!!
Can't right a better quote. The snare on Straws Pulled at Random made me forget the whole global 2020 shithole
Note to self: New life goal - see Meshuggah live.
Wow , what a group. I just discovered them and I’m 53. Incredible
It’s a life altering experience. You will probably cry.. I know I did..
@@SkylineBilip saw them live 2 times so far and seeing them live is literally a lifechanging experience. They sound incredible live, it's undescribable really...
Seen em twice now and the videos don't do justice to how good it is
I was in this very crowd. It was beyond awesome... just seeing this video makes me headbang and shiver at the same time again
Tomas Haake’s footwork patterns on Bleed are insane to begin with, but the fact that he has them so locked in when playing live is truly incredible. These guys are on another level as far as being able to perform their material live. One of the greatest metal bands of all time imo
I couldnt agree more haake is a beast
You mean, the best extreme metal band that has ever existed.
They've been that way forever. I remember picking up one of their records in the mid 90s. It blew my mind. Nothing else like it.
Just saw them in Cincinnati and the entire set was amazing but bleed blew my mind. It’s a different experience hearing it live. I just started listening to meshuggah last year and they’re easily in my top 3 rn
I don't always listen to Meshuggah but when I do, so do my neighbors.
And their neighbors, and their neighbors….
It's their favourite band whether they like it or not
@@hurlbag559 underrated comment right there
be respectful please
How the hell can he play the whole 7 minuits of bleed after an hour of brutal drumming. Thomas haake is on a bother level
Pure talent , practice and patience my friend.
He's on a zen mode.
it looks like he is barely even cracking a sweat while doing it too, man is almost 50 years old too. Unbelievable
The sound mixing is 10/10
999/666
It's fucking hi-def! Sounds and looks like an official DVD! Which we needed for the TVSOR era. But then again there are several good full length recordings...so I'm happy! Would definitely still buy an official release even belated haha!
33/33
Maybe 7/10. Did you watch some of Gojira's live?
I was put off by it but I'm gonna give a go in surround. I love this band! Edit: it evolves as it goes and WOW
"How many lights and effects do you want?" Meshuggah: "Yes."
Supermassive black holes: We're the heaviest matter in the universe.
Meshuggah: hold my beer.
*Meshuggah: hold my 8 string
This is the best thing that internet has to offer.
This is the best thing humanity has to offer.
Paedophiles wouldn't agree to that.
Jens sounds better live than in studio at 53 years old?? Insane. Of course the band is technically perfect. Gives me goosebumps, the whole thing. The Hurt That Finds You First has been on repeat every chance I get to hear it.
That solo is so sickkk
That drop on "Lethargica" was so fucking heavy it created a gravity well effect around my speakers and collapsed my whole room into a singularity.
The guy whose controlling the lights, is a member of Meshuggah
midi triggers mate !!
@@axelpteeg Nah, he actually does it by hand every single show.
It's well-documented, and there's videos of him doing it.
@@NunYurbis he used to do the shows by hand but I think more recent shows are pre programmed. Don't get wrong, this still takes a lot of work and imo opens the door for more creative ideas with the lights
@@archieopteryx3021 you do know that pre programming a live show I nearly impossible to be in time right..every live show ,song changes in structure and timing..therefore pre programming the lighting on time wouldnt work... he pre programs the sequences per song,but activates every sequence by hand..therefore it's still manually controlled
@@user-gu3ie not true, you can 100% program lights for a show 100% on time, but you might be right with the sequence thing where he only presses a button and the sequence goes off
People: how tight can a band of human mortals be?
Meshuggah: yes.
They're like volvo but the opporsite
That transition into Rational Gaze knocked me out of my chair.
How is no one talking about Per? Can't imagine how pressured I'd feel if I had to fill in for Fredrik, and he's just chill AF through the entire show, enjoying and nailing this madness.
I thought same thing.
who's this guy?
@@thomasyuen1116 Per Nilsson, the guy who temporarily filled in for Fredrik. Check out his ig and other works
Was looking for this comment. He absolutely nails the guitar solo in Future Breed Machine. Imagine this guy being the BACK UP guitarist in your band. Just goes to show you how phenomenal they really are.
"How is no one talking about Per?"
My thought too - he's superb!
Meshuggah really is the only metal band you have to see live. After that you can say you've seen the best metal concert known to man.
This
Meshuggah and Gojira both are incredible live.
Just saw them last week and I can confirm they are definitely the best show I've seen.
I've seen so many great bands live (The Faceless, Archspire, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job For a Cowboy, Lamb of God, Metallica, Black Crown Initiate, etc etc) but nothing compared to seeing Meshuggah live. It's a different experience somehow. The sonic quality.. the tightness, the lights. It's a whole thing lol.
@@BunsenMusic it's true. been in the game for 25 years. at some points, SYL came close to levels of a meshuggah concert but not consistently. they are just in a league of their own
Ok but can we appreciate that this band has been at this shit for over THIRTY YEARS & they STILL sound incredible. That is absolutely insane given the extreme nature of their music.
First album rips so hard. Their evolution is nuts.
fuckin too right
@@smokesletsgo666 Their first album legit sounds like a different band, they sound like Metallica on crack in the best way imaginable. It's like thrash metal with a Meshuggah twist
no shit!!!! 3 decades? WOW
@@ronkozlowski8169 Bro Jens is 54 during this concert and he can still scream like at 6:30 after 30 years of screaming like this, that is actually bananas.
Can we all agree that the sound engineer is in Beast Mode for this set.
The whole show is tight AF.
Almost every set they sound great. I just saw them live two months ago and every song they played sounded just like you were listening to the studio version.
In beast mode? He's doing his job as he should
Best live sound to video I've heard in ages, maybe ever...
@@bigbastard_lol You don't have any respect for sound engineers?
I think that them using kemplers amps helps, but still beast mode
Im glad to hear jens still likes juice, true filtered vitamine substance after all these years
Hilarious 😆
Just think, in 50 years time, this music will be considered 50s swing-era music, the possibilities are endless!
where does music even go after Meshuggah?
Further !!!!!!
@@jimmycarlson4871 seriously, I don't think there is another band that has shown such utter mastery of sound as Meshuggah. They won.
@ThoughtCrime oh for sure. avant-garde extreme metal is my favorite thing to listen to. check out Odium Nostrums channel if you haven't, it's full of stuff like that.
I dont think heavy metal can expand beyond what happened in the 90s in terms of what can be done with the usual instruments.
Best band I have ever seen in my entire life. This is elite mixing, metal musicianship, and lighting at its best. Sounds better than the album recordings in my opinion. Unfuckwithable.
This is what metal should have been from the get go.
Unfuckwithable! Nice!
Afuckingmen
Unfuckwithable is now my favorite word
Gotta give Per Nilsson some big time appreciation here. Filling Thordendal's shoes on tour is an impossible ask, and he did a damn close job. Hats off brotha.
Per Nilsson is very underrated imho. The fact that he replaced a Meshuggah member on tour speaks volumes about his abilities.
I agree impossible task. However, I listened to a '22 show and it just didn't sound the same.
@@amithpandit4043 I've seen his solo stuff and his time in Scar Symmetry, he's honestly fucking incredible. The lead melodies he wrote in SS are probably the most satisfying things to land on my eardrums
Absolutely! Love me some Per!
key word: close
That intro isn't prerecorded it's just the space ship dropping them off
It takes a lot of effort to programme those lights. The lighting engineer needs to be appriciated. He's like the 6th member of the band. He knows every beat of the songs.
ua-cam.com/video/MiSr8iNwWsw/v-deo.html
he knows everything those beats of the band, cause he’s an guitarist “maybe”
He's related to one of the band members I think.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 Lighting used to be done by the drummers brother.
@@lorenzodelgado5744 this video is outdated, the new lighting Guy preprogrammed the show. If you compare new to old shows, you will see why, there is a lot more room for creativity now. The new light is way better IMO
First thing that needs to happen when this pandemic is over, is a MASSIVE MESHUGGAH CONCERT
and talk about fucking going off....
Already bought my ticket for Milan show in November 2021 yessss
Manchester UK Dec 2021! Am I going? Absofuckinglutely!!
I have my tickets for the Albert Hall in 2022!
@@mtdnelson nice one mate enjoy sure it will be a gig to remember!
Meshuggah it is one of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life.
Same bro, same
Jens Kidman is 53 years old here and never sounded more vicious. Fucking unbelievable.
Doesn't smoke or do drugs :)
Jens is a rarity. Gets better with age
Best screamer out there
Was about to comment saying the same thing!! My god. I've heard other bands who I love but the vox don't always survive in tact over the years. (no names need be mentioned) But these guys, killing it for 30 years and we get a new album this year!!!! best band ever. :)
@@TCM215 that is you don’t consider DMT a drug 😂
There are synapses in my brain that can only be fired by Meshuggah so help me
Same. Chills
i feel you, man
That lights effect during Future Breed Machine breakdown was insane. The light engineer is a GOD
Fucking best metal band ever.
These men are gods.
It's pretty irrefutable at this point, I think.
These men are Odins...
Nah
Every pleb calls the people they are enthusiastic about "gods". Same old story.
You mean...these gods are the true gods?
This mix sounds waaaay better! But there still is small lack of bass. Cheers from Russia to all Meshuggah fans!
Greetings from Germany to Mother Russia! :)
Greetings from Indonesia! :)
Do you have a subwoofer?
Agree, a little more depth couldnt hurt. Still sounds good though!
@@onthebackwheel as murky above you said...
SUB woofer....
add it into your system
I have a Pinnacle..
Adds super depth for EVERYTHING.
That Lethargica breakdown is LITERALLY the greasiest breakdown ever. I swear. And Lethargica is one of Meshuggahs top underrated tracks as well as my personal favorite.
Its on my bucket list to see this band live at least one time before I die.
Don’t know where you live but they are on tour here in the states in the spring of ‘22
They tour next year bro, they're on my list too next to (old) Opeth
Same. October. Top of my Bucket list.
Witnessing Meshuggah for the first time is a life changing experience!
It's on my bucket list to die at one of their shows
The lighting at 28:14 (Future Breed Machine) god damn...!
On rammstein concert it would be fire emerging from the guns 🤣
Consider me scared.
The lighting!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!? Are you not hearing that crash chewing through those pauses!?!?
But sure, lighting is on point.
Rammstein does put on an amazing live show musically and visually.
The lighting. Period. Edvard is a frigging beast.
There is nothing like Meshuggah live. NOTHING.\m/
Nothing...
Nothing pun intended
NOTHING!
Been a fan for a while now. Haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live yet. Hope to see them when this craziness is over with.
hehe, nothing, I see what you did..
27:50-28:30 is one of the most badass things to happen in music, ever.
Future Breed Machine overall has to be one of the most innovative and influential metal tracks of all time. It's so ridiculously far ahead of its' time - it still sounds fresh 30 years on.
Pretty standard breakdown till you realize that song came out a full decade before other people really started doing that
ngl i heard this kind of breakdown or rather variations of it in so many songs by so many different bands but not a single one of them hits as hard as future breed machine's breakdown.. what a band man.
When im 80 years old ill still be jamming this
Lets hope they will be too
I literally have a hard time believing what these guys do in the stage. They are so perfect playing all those complex rhythms, to me it is actually scary to see this level of performance, doesn't even look human.
If you're into this, and don't know them already, you might like "Animals as Leaders" and "Car Bomb".
@@OraOraOceanMan Thanks man, I will.
They're clearly gods from Aasgard. Can't find a better explanation.
@@OraOraOceanMan always love seeing someone recommend car Bomb to others. They are too slept on.
This is the most human thing you ever gonna see and hear in the entire life
Clockworks is one of their most insane songs, how the hell they play that live without turning into dust amazes me
i just cant even say anything. it blows my mind
I'm in shock
this song is near perfect. there's just a little section before the end that i find is too long. but otherwise it's got everything.
Almost won a Grammy.
@@neoconnor4395 should have
How on earth can a band play this tight? Everyone is just totally locked in. Almost. The. Whole. Time. Even the lights! I'm completely amazed by it. Probably some of the best concert footage I've ever seen.
They are pretty humble too. I heard an interview where they said they just merely play the songs how they are meant to be played
yea they are crazy good live
They have a lighting guy who plays the lights. There is a pretty cool video on that, look it up. It's dope.
Tight even with a replacement lead guitarist
Um, foot pedals and other gear that you cannot see from the audience, even Rush played like that in sequence and the audio master helps it along.
How do they sound so good live. What the fuck.
KNOT fest
will they still be good next year???
@@harrisnoland They'll always be good. Great.

“First of all, we’re very sorry for creating that genre; we didn’t intend to - our bad. No, but it’s actually - I think it’s a misconception, that djent thing. I think it’s kind of hilarious,” explained rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström.
“It’s our lead guitar player, Fredrik [Thordendal], being drunk back in the day, talking to one of our old-school fans, trying to explain what type of guitar tone we were always trying to get, and he was desperately trying to say, ‘We want that ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_.'”
“And that guy was, like, ‘What’s he saying? Is that a Swedish word? Must be. Sounds like dj_, maybe ‘djent’? Maybe something like that.’ And that’s where it comes from. A drunk misunderstanding, as always with Meshuggah.”
When asked in regards to what sort of music that Meshuggah do play, Hagström described their sound as “heavy, experimental music”.
I LOVE THIS GUYS SO MUCH
48:04 has got to be one of the most visually impressive things for the crowd ever. like damn lol
We are all extremely fortunate to be living in the same decades as these brilliant men.
Per Nilsson's contribution, performance and small personal touches are absolutely perfect, I honestly can't think of anyone else to fill in for Fredrik
Yousef DQR but where's Frederik?
Señor Romántico that's really sad to hear...
@@federicogarufi479 Yeah but at least I couldn't be happier having Per in the band.
@@Salomon_G and what's the source of that dude? it will be really sad if what you said is true...
@@Salomon_G They are never accurate with interviews and such though. Even Haake, a brilliant lyricist, will say "yeah we usually write like..." when that was actually a new development for the last album...
Meshuggah was sitting in my music library for over 20 years - mostly unlistened. I always had the feeling there is something special to this music but never managed to dig below the surface. I finaly saw them live in Vienna this year for the first time - I can't get enough since! To say it with the words of bill burr - a truly life-altering experience.
Welcome to the fold dear lost soldier
I know what you mean. They don't just come to you, you gotta get in, immerse, lose yourself, and then the thing clicks. Took me years too. I'm going to see them live next month. Joined in late, but I don't feel like I missed out, they're still at the top of their game.
@@Lultschful I have tickets for the Munich concert. 🙂
The last phrase of Straws Pulled at Random is one of my favorite Meshuggah things ever. It gives me chills to hear live.
Yes sir! 40:42
Meshuggah's magnum opus
Hey me too!
I totally I agree. I wonder if they know. So much of their stuff is just 100% punishing or like an atonal solo/interlude. Which I love. But I actually think the fact that they don't let a song breath like that more often hurts them rather than helps them. It's a hopeful moment while still being rhythmically interesting. I wish they'd do it more.
@@Ross-ng4xl the end section of the hurt that finds you first is a good example of letting the song breathe a bit
Just broke up with my girl all down..... I see this in my feed, now I'm grinning ear to ear and head banging. Thank you
Im sorry to hear that dude
Meshuggah will always be there for you bro. Who knows, the next woman in your life might understand polyrhythms. The possibilities are endless.......😜
Combat heartbreak with neckbreaking headbanging my metal brotha.
John damn I hope so
her loss mate, I hope you are better now.
The band that can do no wrong. There is only one constant in my life and it's that no matter what I'm going through, I can always, always count on Meshuggah to churn out this deranged head-caving music. I always go through cycles after not hearing the band for a while and I think, 'are they really as great as I constantly chalk them up to be? Do I put them on too high of a pedestal?' and then I hear or see something that reaffirms tenfold their magnificence while I feel like I've been punished for faltering and doubting for even a single second
You can ALWAYS count on Meshuggah!!!
What James Joyce did you plagiarize that from? It's beautiful.
I first saw them in 95 supporting Machine Head in a hall with about 30 folk as they were first on. Me and my mate watched the whole thing mesmerised, blown away. They haven't dissapointed since.
@@soundofsmoke383 Thanks mate, just came from my hungover brain. It's easy when it's Meshuggah we're talking about but if I have to talk to someone about literally anything else, I can't seem to muster more than a 'yeah' or 'nah'
"Deranged head-caving music" is probably the best description of this amazing band I've ever read.
That last 3rd and guitar solo of “Straws Pulled at Random” remains the only time I’ve ever heard melancholy expressed in metal.
Prior to this song I never knew it was even possible for metal to express this specific emotion. Beautiful.
The crowd just looks mesmerised.
A Meshuggah live show is incomparable.
Almost a spiritual experience.
Best band there ever was.
It was great.
There very similar bands but no other in this planet in the same plane as Meshuggah
@@budaroddy Amen
Only tool and meshuggah on the same level
The fact that Bleed is the 2nd last song on the set is mind-blowing. I play the 5min shortened version of it and I feel like my legs are about to fall off; but here's Meshuggah nearly an hour into the concert blasting Bleed like it ain't no thing.
And to think that they would have not recorded it had Tomas not pulled it off...
That why a slow song like Lethargica is played right before it.
@@NikkLiberos I bet Tomas' legs felt like jello when he played demiurge 😅 probably wished bleed was the last song!
@@jessebrown9624 Demiurge is one of their easiest songs to play on drums, honestly. Lethargica and Demiurge are probably the best bookends for bleed they could pick!
Guess Thomas must be warm by now
I don't think my pants would've survived seeing this live. Just incredible.
@Injustice Served Sorry, what?
@Injustice Served LOL
spineless
@Injustice Served hahaha I thought that too until I saw the confusion in the comments
@@navigator_g Be nice.
Per is such a rad guitar player and was the perfect sub for Fredrik.
I first saw these guys open for Tool in 2001. They are one of the most unique sounding metal bands I have ever heard. From Thorendal’s slow wailing solos to Haake’s polyrhythms (playing a 4/4 against a damn 23/16), no one even comes close. Meshuggah just hits different man. Bill Burr knows what the fuck I’m talking about.
I second this. The only other band, in my humble opinion, that has perfected their own unique style of sound are Rammstein. Owing to Rammstein and Meshuggah, everything else in terms of heavy metal, to me, sounds generic.
"brrata brrata brrata"
Saw the same show in San Diego
I just heard something called Demiurge for the first time and now, forever changed, I am here.
That Future Breed Machine performance at 24:42 gives me fucking goosebumps.
Meshuggah are so tight, on records and live shows its unbelievable. Their stuff sounds so fucking gargantuan.
One of the best definitions I ever read about Meshuggah. Their blend of Metal, avantgarde and Allan Holdsworth (thanks to Thordendal) is a cornerstone in modern music. They were able to make "popular" (well, they have millions wiews) such an incredibly complex and articulated formula.
@@ReggiePostlethwaite for me its because they keep grooving over such complex rythms. Thats amazing!
So professional
Good stamp!
Yesvi would like ten string guitsat ot nine string if even tekevan eight string at this point… got sn banex 7string snd i love that but need more strings and ZloWEZr D.eEPER!!!!!!!
The Lethargica solo into the drop had me in tears for some reason that I cannot explain. Greatest metal band of all time imho. The amount of sheer talent and raw primal power never leaves me in awe. Long live Meshuggah!
Never ceases...? Happens to everyone. 🙂
I upvoted purely for your username.
Me too. Gets me each time.
This shit sounds completely unlike anything else on earth, even within the genre. It sounds almost alien. It’s incredible. Most unique band since Black Sabbath imo.
It is way slower than the original track. They always said that they think that Lethargica was recorded too fast originally but live it gets slower and slower and this version (2019 tour) is IMO simply amazing
this is not a band... this is a reaction to this miserable existence.... and as i find out, this is the sound of my own shredded soul....this magical experience called mesuggah is a living embodiment of reality
What are you on, and where can I get some?
Hands down one of the greatest metal bands of all time!!! I can't think of another band that actually fights off their level of musical complexity and heaviness. Their live performances are fucking unparalleled!
Youre so fucking right nur there is one Band on their Level: GOJIRA
Absolutely true. Meshuggah and Gojira are goat
A warm suggestion of mine would be to try Car Bomb and Frontierer. Cheers!
@@christianpfuscht Strangely enough I haven't seen many of their concerts. I've been a shitty Gojira fan for years...
@@georgiostemirsidis1966 bad
Straws Pulled at Random is one of the best metal songs of all time. Just so good. Catchy, as well.
It’s phenomenal
The lyrics man, they cut right through you.
I just found out this one because of u. Thanks
Goosebumps all the times, man! :)
Insane sounding live . One of my fav tracks ever
Per’s solo on The Hurt That Finds You First (18:00) really just engulfed me. I closed my eyes and I felt every thought I had just leave.
To be honest, I was sad when Per's stint in Meshuggah was over. And that's saying a lot because I love Fredrik.
It would be awesome if he was featured on a few songs in the future haha
I met Per recently. Such a humble man for being one of the greatest guitarists of our generation.
Their music speaks for itself
Tomas Haake is the the greatest tap dancer of all time.
One of the most amazing metal bands of human history ladies and Djents...
Djentelmen
Djentlemen
YES!
Straws pulled at random, the bending of the strings combined with the lights sweeping down...absolutely mind blowing and epic.
I can't freaking wait!
In my opinion one of Meshuggah's absolute finest songs... Meshuggah's "to live is to die" if you will..
Just looked this up because of your comment and I bet that was a bad time for everybody tripping that night
Meshuggah live is a completely different experience compared to just listening to the albums. So damn good
Amen
yes - damn good ^^
100% it is an experience truly singular
Meshuggah make the most beautiful terrifying sounds ever created by man.
Playing a show without any mistakes must be the craziest feeling on the planed. So satisfying to flow over those impossible parts.
They did have some issues during Bleed. But thats the only song i caught anything in. Impressive for sure.
they made a mistake a 57:51 it was not a D11sasdus7# but a XYdim7,4 flat in the original score. So unprofessional ! :)
@@pronstorestiffi i have many more issues when i try to play bleed, i can't pinpoint any of their ones aha
@@pronstorestiffi I've no idea how it's possible to recover from a mistake on Bleed. For real, I wouldn't like to have to play that song for a living.
@@alexandredesmonts35 I just laugh so hard at your coment
If you (yeah! You!) are having this feeling just watching on youtube, imagine a live performance. I've seen them twice here in Brazil and my soul took some time to get back.
If you have the tiniest chance to see them live, do it!
Saw them in örebro. Even got to meet them afterwards. Insane.
I saw them open for Tool in the early 2000s. My friends and I thought there was a war going on in the arena. We were terrified and mesmerized! I have been an unwavering fan ever since that day!
I love Tool but Meshuggah... Thank you uploader :)
Some Tool fans were booing Meshuggah that day.
was too heavy for them
I saw them on that tour as well. At the Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA. It was incredible. Then saw them again at the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, CA. I think Animals as Leaders opened up for them. The mix and overall clarity of the sound was the most impressive I've heard up to now. I recently saw them at the Palladium, in Hollywood, Ca. Unfortunately, the sound was horrible. I don't understand how that happens. I was so disappointed at the quality of the mix... But God do I love this band!
Came here to say this!!!
That solo on Future Breed Machine was bloody wild. Psychedelic madness. Loved it.
🎸 all day everyday day brother , I know that's right.
The extra kick drums in the section of Bleed at 1:00:20 make it soooooo intense.
I think this is my favourite UA-cam video ever.
Mine too, seriously
I am starting to agree
the guy working the lights is a Meshuggah fan lol he got every beat down perfectly, even changing the lights for like the riff and the snares. dude was mad consistent, i have hella respect for whoever was behind them lights 🙏
theres a way to trigger them directly off the equalizer - i wonder if he does that?
@@koonfoxmusic1472 his name is Edvard Hansson, he has a UA-cam channel named like this, check it out! He programs all lights beforehand to be exactly synchronized with the music.
@@gregfalc thats not true, he actually plays them. at least the rhythm ones. also on his channel
@@hazardeur you can't do a light show like that without a click track and pre programming most of the lights.
@@HeavyMetalGamingHD not saying there is no click track. a lot of what you see is played though. source? i saw him do it. several times. i usually stand close to the lightstand in most shows and i watched over his should for a good 10 minutes. he definitely does all the main grooves with one hand and more stuff with the other. there's a vid on youtube of him doing it too.
there probably is a mix of pre programmed frame with stuff he adds himself.
59:04 both guitars almost drop out. But the amazing thing is that they both lock back in the middle of the riff. That is actually pretty damn impressive. Not an easy thing to do in a riff as complex and technically challenging as Bleed.
I think this is the first time I see an error in some of their live performances.
@@GabrieleRusso93 Same here. But the lineup isn't regular either so I think it's totally understandable. Per Nilsson is great but he is no Fredrik Thordendal.
@@tomihakala9522 true, but think what an incredible learner he has to be to go on tour with them and just kick ass like this. Thorendal developed this style over more than 20 years and nilsson picked it up incredibly well.
@@tomihakala9522 dude, be real plz. Per is on the same lvl, at least. The dude has basically perfect technique and covers holdsworth stuff for fun to improvise over. he knows his stuff.
Not sure about the first one, but the second one sounds like an error to me: at 59:12 you can quite clearly hear the guitar on the right anticipating the end of the phrase, stopping and picking the riff up in like 2 secs.
That said, shit like this doesn't really matter, Meshuggah is above and beyond!
the band that delivers one of the most entertaining and brutal live shows. They know well how to transport their audience to a polyrhythmic universe. A unique sound
The light show helps a lot too, my brain feels both exhausted and satisfied with so much sensorial stimuli.
They're beyond brutal.. Meshuggah is on another level.
will they still be good next year???
