Their old light show was impressive as fuck and yes, it was done live, but once they started using in ear monitors and playing to a click track (notice how there’s no count in at the start of the song, they all just start playing in perfect timing) they could have an even more intricate light show that has much more going on that I think would be impossible to do manually for one person, or at least difficult enough that mistakes would happen frequently.

The mistakes I’ve seen Meshuggah do are few and far between, but it’s always hilarious when it happens. Last I saw was when the band started playing Born in Dissonance, but Tomas started playing Ligature Marks (or if it was the other way around) and it took like… quite a while before they stopped playing and Jens was like ”fuck, we just played two different songs.”

      Awesome. A lot of counting lol. Staying calm, saving stamina for the rest of the show. I used to be really into this style of drumming years ago. Seen them with Fear Factory and Slayer. But yeah, it’s definitely a different approach. I’m more of a moody drummer I guess, my style is a lot different. It would take a lot of practice and conditioning to play like this, if that’s your thing. He’s been writing drums this way for 20 years so it’s probably second nature

    I am 67. I have seen many great drummers live. Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Jack DeJohnette, Vinnie Coliauta, Buddy Rich, Terry Bozzio, Dennis Chambers, Lenny White, Michael Walden. And many more. But Tomas Haake is special and I believe he has retained that ancient tradition and lost art of *swing and groove* and achieved the very difficult feat of expressing *swing and groove* within the context of the Metalist genre. To maintain *swing and groove* is rare within any modern genre these days. But to do this within the Metalist genre is almost non-existant. Very very rare. Watch his interviews. I love his *attitude* as well. Respect to Mr. Haake.

    • @manjay49
      @manjay49 10 років тому +123

      I also believe that Bleed is a very important tune in terms of being a watershed event in the "metal" genre. Similar the the impact Black Dog had in 1971. The cut-time groove on the top part of the kit during the "verse" section makes the tune very "accessible" while at the same time, the kick drum and guitar parts are doing something very, very advanced technically. The whole thing is very tight. The break out sections following the verse, which doubles up the time signature, are actually "funky" although it is not "funk music" per se. However all the syncopations and accents are definitely funk-related. The middle break-down section is beautiful. Ambient and haunting. Then the solo, then the return the the verse section and then ending with the left-hand 6 over right-hand 8 drumming and ending on a dime. Great arrangement. This tune needs more study in order to really appreciate the whole thing. Peace.

      First I am SO jealous that you got to see all of those kats live! 2nd, I agree with you about Bleed being a watershed event. You should know that on their album "Contradictions Collapse" they site Earth Wind and Fire as one of their many influences. The main reason why this is my favorite band is because they are the ONLY band that plays all of the complex stuff situated within a straight 4/4 beat. Four main beats per measure. The snare (in Bleed) hits on 3 most of the time. There is no change in the time signature at all, and much of their music is in 4. They baffle people in the *thinking* crowds, but when I saw them live, people who had no clue what they were doing were moshing/headbanging etc. These guys are like my heroes. I would say that "New Millenium Cyanide Christ is more like Black Dog though. Meshuggah fans tend to be divided between the Chaosphere album, and Catch 33. The ones who dig Catch 33 are into the "creepy" vibe, but the Chaosphere people are the ones who dig the rhythmic stuff - those are the old school kats who know the deal. Anyways, I agree with your overall sentiment. Thomas seems like a super humble dude too!

      I'm a drummer myself and it's simply a matter of getting used to hearing layered cycles throughout a 4/4 (or sometimes triplet) groove. It's all feeling, people. This is groove-metal, a term Thomas agreed with right to my face.

    • @holygroove2

      I made a mistake about the album that sites their influences - it's Destroy Erase Improve, not Contradictions Collapse. Destroy Erase Improve has another crazy tune on it called Future Breed Machine which they also do live. You would dig it if you dig Bleed. Contradictions Collapse is more random (not mostly in 4 like what they do now), but it's still good b/c you get to hear where they came from. I really appreciate what you're saying about sound - it's something that we have to really be conscious of. Well said again.

      Also very well said - they used to call it "heavy metal" back in the day, but Groove metal pretty much sums it up too. Heavy or Groovy because like funk, they never lose sight of the 1. Also because of the sound on their guitars. Cool that you got to meet them. I heard them live in 2012. Still amazed at how well they performed from 2 years ago.

      +hoshino I've been listening to Meshuggah for almost 10 years now, and I got an 8 string shortly after I discovered them, to learn their songs. Now, for me, the songs I know in the back of my head don't seem complex, but don't be fooled, they are. It took me quite some time to be comfortable listening to them, let alone nodding my head in the 4/4, not to mention playing it myself, and I still have a hard time playing their simplest songs and keeping a straight 4/4 nodding my head. They are complex at times, but keep a straight beat throughout most songs, which make them sound simpler, and most importantly, gives their songs one hell of a groove!

    • @gaunten

      ***** Overrated?
      By some hardcore fans perhaps, but Meshuggah has up to quite recently been severely underrated. I mean, they released groundbreaking stuff way back in 94, and they still couldn't quit their day jobs until after the release of Nothing around 2002. And to this day, they still need to tour a lot to finance the recording of their new albums.
      You thinking the music sucks is one thing, that's your subjective opinion, just like I think they're the greatest metal band out there today, but objectively, they have had a huge influence on the metal scene, while still not getting the fame they deserve.

      I used to date a girl who would constantly fall asleep anytime I would put metal on. About the heaviest band she'd listen to and stay awake for is A7X, but she legit was a Stan for them. They aren't heavy, I know, but they have some groovey melodies and thrashy riffs that tend to nod her out otherwise. Even at live concerts at metal venues, metal music for her is the equivalent of counting sheep. I honestly wish I had something that made my brain relax... I'm pretty jelly right now.

      I read an interview with Haake where he said the drums on the last few Meshuggah albums were programmed, maybe they couldn't get the same level of nuance for accents on the 8th note riding pattern he does over the complex bass & snare patterns on the record compared to how he feels he can do it live. Tbh I'm not very keen on the production of their last few albums, the drum sound especially seems better for me (more natural, can hear ghost notes more) on Nothing. The triple strokes you mention are on the snare? As in two ghosted notes and one accented? It's a bit hard to see in the video and the ghost notes aren't very audible, although I'm sure they would've been live! Thanks to Bleed I've started trying to play hertas on double bass, I can get it up to a decent speed now but playing anything over the top I find really difficult, even straight quarters. He must need a ridiculous level of independence to do everything else as well. It's not straight hertas on the double bass for the first verse is it, its based on hertas but I'm sure I hear lots of variations and 16th notes added in. Some day, when my skill level is up to it I'll try and learn the full song on drums :-)

It's efortless. It's soft. His torso is stable, his limbs including his head are doing the whips of fury he produces from the metronome of death inside of him. His one with his performance and his output. The only thing he seems to focus is his breathing, the skills come naturally for him. Don't get me wrong hes focusing immensly, but also at the same time at that level he can let the body do the work and focus on the thing that makes him groove, his breathing. It's a release, it gives so much as he gives in to it. The main thing is that he has that level and yeah he doesn't get tired, only after hours.. .

    I still can't believe that rhythm.

      Rasmus Henriksen I know, if I didn't see him play it then I wouldn't of believed a man could play like that.

      I'm still in study of this song even before beginning to attempt playing it on guitar. 11 years of study going strong....

    This song is hypnotic. Gets me into almost a trance every time.

      It's a wonderful balance of monotony with the guitar kick drum riff and the variations as the song passes through. :)

      I equate Meshuggah with trance music, it's a trip in itself. I've done so many long road trips listening to Meshuggah on repeat and it's a psychedelic journey I love.

      I've fallen asleep to this song. The song is droning in it's own way. This song is just full speed balls to the walls almost the whole time which makes it sound almost like its a low soothing hum

      Same. And I've never stopped mid song, even if I'm running late to something.

    I can just imagine Tomas coming in the studio and Fredrik swinging in his chair going “Do I have a riff for you!” and hits play and Tomas hears it and just walks back out the door..😂
