I am 67 going on 68. I witnessed, first hand, the birth and development of "heavy" music. From 1965 on. I saw Cream in 1967, Yardbirds 1967, Vanilla Fudge 1967, The Who in 1967, Jeff Beck 1968, Zeppelin 4x in 1969, Hendrix 5 times, Spirit 2x 1969, Mountain in 1969 and 1970, was at Woodstock, saw Naplam Death, Extreme Noise Terror, Butthole Surfers, Magma. etc. etc. Take it from me, one of The Elders. Meshuggah is the Absolute Best Heavy Band of All Time. Peace.
"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
Hell yeah.
It's great to see an older guy (no offense :D) like some newer stuff. Most of the time it's you guys that preach classic rock like it's the law.
***** I leave preaching to others. I'm just reporting my experience.
Most intelligent comment I've ever seen on UA-cam
It takes a while to understand the genius that is Meshuggah.
+Jesus Christ in your name, amen.
+Jesus Christ I rarely agree with you, Jesus, but you're absolutely right - it doesn't sit in the ear right away, but when it does... \m/
+Jesus Christ if HE says so guys..
+Jesus Christ When I first heard Bleed, I hated the band and thought it was a joke.
Now they are my favourite band ever.
+Jesus Christ ow yea..they r the best
I love how the crowd are all headbanging to different shit
Just head bob to the 4th notes and youll never be on an offtime since all their shit is 4/4
dont forget the band :)))) they also headbanged to different time signature, what an arkwark bunch haha
And they’re all correct… lol
Do Not Scroll Down!
Sese R Best fucking comment I've ever seen hahahahaha
The more I listen to Meshuggah the more I understand Fredrik's solos, at first I thought they made no sense but now that I bought a good pair of headphones and listened carefully to every note DUDE, it's beautiful!
+Fxgamer Really sick improv on this one too. Just as good as the album version.
+Fxgamer check out Brendon Smalls tribute on Dethalbum III, Starved
Same here. At first, I thought it is gibberish and random, but later I realised it is supposed to represent the pattern of how a snake moves (Ophidian translates to snake)
Check out Allan Holdsworth you’ll understand it even more. Also the band Magma (their song “De Futura” in particular” is a massive influence. Hell it even made its way into Dancers to a Discordant System
It's awesome you truly opened your ears and your mind to this band. For they're the true masters of this craft....djent/progressive metal.
Every metalhead should experience Meshuggah once in their lifetime. After that, there is no escape from their captivating musicianship. Also, in my opinion, they are the heaviest band that exist nowadays and have unique style that is a genre on its own. There aren’t bands that can exceed or even come close to what they are creating. I admire their talent and the ability to compose such unique sounds and arrangements.
Yeah man...
Gojira wants to know your location
The thing that I love about meshuggah is that they're extremely heavy without having fucked up gutturals like brutal death metal
@@hendrikkiefer3325 gojira for kids ...
I will be going to their concert this October 12 and the lamb of god concert on oct 20! I am hella excited
I remember when I saw them on this tour, I told my friends, "I'm not gonna mosh, I'm just going to watch Meshuggah and just appreciate their performance." Then, when they started this song, I remember my friend and I looked at each other, and our faces were both like, "NOPE" and we both bounced right into the fuckin pit
waste
+DiedOfSociety hey man what seems to be the issue :(
+TheMeatballMen be at peace. The both of you
Meshuggah pits are awesome. Pantera, Sepultura, and Soulfly all had good pits as well.
Dude I know this feeling all to well. Walking in like "dude I'm getting old, no more moshing I gotta work." Ten mins Into these guys at sayersville nj. I was going APE SHIT LIKE FUCK IT
Holy hell when I saw meshuggah on their most recent tour I reverted to my most primal state once they dropped into this song. What a masterpiece. I feel that true metal should sound like it would be able to be played for cavemen thousands of years ago and for aliens thousands of years in the future and they should both appreciate it, Meshuggah is that band that both a Neanderthal and advance alien species would both enjoy.
Yes. They take you places you never knew you wanted to go. Until you got there. The Best. Ever.
The aliens do enjoy this track. 😂
@@jadedjay7861 We do.
Excellent comment
This is some great smooth jazz
Koloss wasn't quite as well recieved by all fans as their previous albums but it has really grown on me and I definitely think it is at least as good as Nothing and Obzen. I fucking love the more organic and melodic sound as this track is a great example of and the grooves on this album are some of the best they've ever done.
Koloss is my favourite meshuggah album, with destroy erase improve being in second place
I like Koloss better than obZen, music wise. Don’t get me wrong, nothing beats Bleed but I enjoy more songs in Koloss such as: I am Colossus, Do not look down, Swarm, Break those bones whose sinews gave it motion etc.
What about "Marrow"? That track is so fun to study & enjoy.
They really “meshugahh’d” the 4/4 groove! DAMN!
I think Koloss had it rough trying to follow up Obzen, which most view as their peak album. I mean, Bleed, Combustion and Dancers on the same album? Just...fuck...
But I always liked Koloss and have listened to it thousands of times, this being my favorite song on the album along with Swarm.
Honestly, I like all of their albums about the same, except for Violet Sleep, which was a real record scratch moment for me. The only two I appreciate on that one are Born in Dissonance and Clockworks.
I loved watching the crowd awkwardly headbang to the time signature hahah
You mean 4/4?
WillHerndon
Actually, time signatures only have to do with notation, therefore this song could be in whatever time signature they feel is most efficient to tab out. What is objectively true here is that they were using syncopation, which, yes, some of the crowed did awkwardly headbang to.
Eh, no.
WillHerndon This is not in 4/4. Count 4/4 evenly in this song. maybe 16/16 because you have to count ridiculously fast to make an even time signature to fit in.
WillHerndon is "retarded" a technical term in music?? in my 13 years of playing guitar i never realized that...
you could write any song in any time sig. it just might not come out evenly at the end. you could write a 5/4 song with 4/4 meters. just make sure the number of meters is equal to 4x5 or 20/40/60/80/etc... this song is definitely not in 4/4 unless youre counting each possible subdivision.. chances are that the beat is actually very slow, and people are actually headbanging with the eighth notes or sixteenth notes, not quarter notes.. so in reality, it might be 4/8 or 4/16, which when you build an uneven number of those meters, comes out to strange time sigs... 3 meters of 4/8 will be 12/8, or 6/4... 5 meters of 4/8 will be 20/8, or 10/4... and there is a time sig of 7/8 that is actually quite common. ever hear Pink Floyd's "Money"? its in 7/8... 2 meters of 7/8 would be 14/8, or 7/4... 3 meters of 7/8 would be 21/8, which doesnt have a */4 equivalent unless you count 10.5/4 which is pretty dumb.. 5 meters of 7/8 would be 35/8.. should i keep going?? lol its not "retarded," its simple math...
Mark my words - we are the most fortunate generation who got to live in the same era as Meshuggah. We might not see a better band for coming 100 years.
"Do Not Look Down"
*Are they telling me not to headbang to this?!?*
Lee Zen no they telling you to close your eyes while headbanging
haha
Roll your eyes in the back of your head, that way you do not look down
Just do the Jens face with the eyes rolled back, you can headbang all you want!
Meshuggah is the best and successful without compromising integrity. That's unusual for any band.
I’m surprised no one here is talking about how TOOL had Meshuggah open for them for 11 shows back in 2002 for the Lateralus tour. It was soo epic you have no idea, I drove 182miles out of the way to go see that, to witness Meshuggah Open with ELASTIC, last song off of chaosphere, only time I’ve ever seen that song live, I was a bit let down that Thordendal let his sound guy play the solo in SOULBURN, smh arghhh but then I got to see haake jam with Danny Carey on the last song of the night, the last track on Lateralus, reflection or something, I never cared for those three tracks that come after Lateralus, weird placement for songs on an epic album. Danny Carey Announced on a webcast (this is before podcasts lol) that he had been listening to an awesome band that he thought everyone should check out, I thought to myself, how rediculous would that be if he said Meshuggah, but there’s no way, mesh is way too heavy, i lost it when I heard him say Meshuggah. I was in the nose bleed section watching a bunch of jaded semi goth morons not give a shit about Meshuggah but it didn’t matter, I knew I was witnessing greatness in the presence of greatness. I still have the ticket stub, my most coveted ticket stub besides my stubs signed by Allan Holdsworth. A few years later, I saw Meshuggah at the smallest venue you can imagine for their Catch33 tour, the venue was called “(The Pound)SF” and i met them and talked to hagstrom for over an hour over endless bowls of chronic nugs and got to ask them about them opening for TOOL and I said “yea man, you guys opened with Elastic” and Hagstrom replies “what!? Why did we do that?” Lolol soo epic
I just left one of those videos, you Legend.
That sounds fucking amazing
I'm just going to disagree with you about the 3 last songs in Lateralus because they are a mind-bending trip for me. How great it must be to witness Meshuggah and Tool live at the same fucking time.
Seeing Danny Carey and Tomas Haake playing together is like seeing both God and Jeasus at the same time
I saw that tour. Unbelievable!!
@3:00 my favorite riff off 'koloss' ... you really can't help but head bang.
Mosh pits are cool. But the way that the entire crowd just stands there hypnotized at the 3 minute mark when they start the melody splitting grove phrase is a genuine thing of beauty. Rare to see such a big audience that captured. Meshuggah are freakishly talented.
I am constantly amazed at how tight these guys are live. Each show is flawless.
Damn Jens headbanging/dancing from 0:23 was some cinematic shit
The mix is incredible, and it sounds exactly like the album. Seriously amazing performance
Better than the album
saw meshuggah live when i was 12 at ozzfest 2002. chaosphere has been one of my go-to albums ever since.
Too late...You Looked Down. \,,/
Hahhaa....
SON OF A.........
@@sakarsubedi918 chill it happened to me too
how the fckin fck can this be live and they managed to mix the audio so fckin good? it sounds like a cd!! metal ends here.
it has to do with direct recording and a program called Q-BASE. and blending live sounds with studio recordings
Are you sure they are blending live with studio? I knew about the direct feed being recorded:) they cant record thomas this way can they?
they can pretty much do whatever their imaginations can come up with
I have seen them live last week, they were amazing and indeed have an icredible live sound. Probably 30 years of playing haha
Their live sound is immaculate and the light show is unbelievable. Completely and totally in synch with the music. In fact, the light show really *helps* one to understand what's going on. Otherwise, one could get lost in a sea of rhythmic confusion. Also Jen really helps as well. Never misses a queue and moves to the groove without being annoying.
"To what lengths would you go to reach your goals? What mantra will you use to justify your means? Who will you betray to secure you dreams? What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen?"
Fucking savage. This is the way the most powerful and successful people live their lives. Do you think they regret it? Remember, whether the ends justify the means or not is entirely subjective. If you know what your purpose in life is, do whatever it takes to be fulfilled. And remember Do NOT LOOK DOWN.
I love this band to death
booop boop boo ba boop boop ba baawawawaw
Steven Bell best comment.
I love this kind of commentary
I know.
Baaaaaaaah, baah, baah, baaaaaaah
But you missed a single "wa" in the end, and that 17th note is the key to this song.
Ok this song might be one of the most difficult among the "Try not to tap your foot & bob your head" challenges.Everytime I listen to the song either of my legs taps a 4/4 or tries to tap the groove.
Holy Hell.. The more you listen to Meshuggah you can understand that they are Damn Awesome they are Genius 🤘
03:00-03:49: Goosebumps the size of Vesuvius.
Meshuggah is a perfect example for something which is not really (exactly) my thing and to which I couldn't listen for a prolonged time, BUT which instantly causes me to acknowledge that I am witnessing absolute greatness and perfection and something completely unique which cannot be topped. Another dimension...
This song makes my brain feel like it's covered in bees.
But in a good way.
Try swarm.
😂
Holy shit I thought this was the studio version dubbed over the performance until the vocals kicked in. God DAMN Meshuggah is perfect \m/
I love the guitars in this. So wangy
The lighting is amazing. Will watch this dvd for sure.
one of the greatest "things" to ever be on earth
immense.
What an epic adventure it was to finish my Wacken 2013 with Meshuggah... They just killed it!
Wow that guitar playing is fire
I Love Meshuggah, I don't know how is for you but for me they are a kind of meditation band, in some ways I find them so mystical, beautiful music
Messugah , you guys with every live show i see this amazing control over your crowd from moshing to stoping then head banging trashing . its defineatly an equal love of you to your fans as well your fans love to you . love you all thank u for all the talent you bring us! Fucking love you guys
Gods of groove metal!!! Masterpiece
Meshuggah: Metal for smart people!!!🤘🤘🤘
Amazing tune. One of their best, for sure.
Meshuggah why I utter chaos into perfect harmony is still mind blowing after listening to them for 20 years haha
Greatest band on the planet bar none
Meshuggah, badass as always and the lighting is amazing here.
It never gets old.
These guys don't get enough credit! Outstanding musicians. Give em a fuckin grammy already!!!!
Outstanding! Simply outstanding! ❤
Best band ever, best live band ever.
so insanely good
So relaxing and groovy
When I was in radio in the early 90s and got a promo copy of Destroy Erase Improve, I just wasn't ready. Fast forward a few years...Chaosphere, Catch 33... I finally "got it." This is my Jazz... my thinking music when I work and when I just want to get lost in sound. I just cannot get enough Meshuggah. Absolute, hands down genius \m/
Jens Kidman IS meshuggah (crazy for those who don't know Yiddish) and I appreciate that. I like the syncopated music with a fairly simple beat.
My grandmother loves this song!
They are mentally ahead of us.
Love watching Jens stalk the stage. Brutal and beautiful !
My favorit song from Meshuggah band 🤩
GREAT VAILABLEEE CITIZZUUEEEEAAAAAAAHHHNNN
Can we appreciate the lighting in this video.its very sync with the music
So pumped I got to see them during this tour holy fuck
excelente video.
parabens!
congrats.
The best band!!!!! Perfect
AMAZING!
Awesome
This band is so tight,timing impecable,monster talent heavy beyond heavy,on another level.🤘🤘🤘🤘
sophisticated metal...i love this genre
I wish this song was in the Live show . I want to see Meshuggah every time they come around .
Awesome video! Just saw them in LA last June for the first time, they are just brutal live. So excited for my pre-order to arrive. :D
Back in '95 I had songs like their's in my head a lot. Polyrhythms. Love 'em.
I've played this song on my drums a million and one time and my spaghetti gets cold every fucking time!
That is a funky funky jam.
Seeing these guys next month.
#sacramento
These guys are so tight live..... they sound almost exactly like the studio recording..... 🤘🤘
Thomas Haake is really proficient in his style. Love him. I think it's killer he can keep that 4/4 on top of the other time signatures with almost no effort. Haha he's he's a joy to watch.
try to keep your headbang balanced with Meshuggah!!!!! algorithmic scores, forced re-alignement, they are ... meshuggah! I love this band.
This is live. Just think about that. Dubbed pop music isn't able to replicate their songs this well live.
I was just listening to the music (first time ever) and I didn't even realize it was live until about 2 minutes into the song when I looked at the screen
Saw these guys two weeks ago. Do Not Look Down was the highlight for me. I also got to witness the most confused mosh pit I've ever seen as people tried to push/mosh/headbang whatever to the crazy rhythm were.
Missed it on this run of shows
everytime you listen the song gets better it's ridiculous man
Excellent band
Meshuggah!!!! I will see them live one day. Before they are too gray.
'03 Jens was screaming in my face at the galaxy in OC during a Halloween show and look at them now!
Meshuggah's studio albums are awesome, but their live performances are OTHERWORLDLY. How the fuck are they this consistent in performing live I will never understand.
the clarity
💓one of the best songs in the world
very powerful song
There's something super primitive about their composition and sound, but that's deceptive because it's also very sophisticated and technically structured at the same time.
All time favorite band for me.
How can it be nine years already?! That's what I want to know.
This band is tighter than a virgin's honeypot
Tight as a bullfrogs ass.
Amber McDanel ... Meshuggah, Gorjira and Devin Townsend are musical genius'.
@@Liz-cmc313 Why yes ma'am they are, and so are you for coming to this realization. Cheers Liz
tighter than an altarboy's ass.
This is sick....
le meilleurs des groupes
god i love that snare
I listen to Meshuggah even when I'm not listening to Meshuggah.
😁👍
Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles
Become the essence of your goals
Hereditary dream
Pray that you may attain that destiny
Fall into the coveted line
Where life is but a theme
Of pretense in lustrous guise
Claims and values
Charts of means and status
Plaques to show your strife
Do your neighbour clones approve
Picture perfect illustration
Imitation of life
Where the path is evened out
All obstructions removed
Great viable citizen
Are you happy now?
Then praise your God and bow
Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire
To what length would you go to reach your goals?
What mantra will you use to justify your means?
Who will you betray to secure your dream?
What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen?
Do not look down
Do not look down
Or the abysmal beast of non-conformity
Might stare some unpleasant truth
Into your desensitized mind
Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire
Immaculate lyrics
F#cking awesome, I love them
do not look down is meshuggah's most gangsta song
Please don't mention "gangsta" and "meshuggah" in the same sentence... They do not mix well.
thug lief fo' shure
Meshuggah rules...now....no ifs ans or buts ....PERIOD...the path has split into a new realm...and im enjoying
The spectacular view
8 STRING POWER!
