Whole set is to a click, you can see Jens tapping the mic in time with his in ears before the song starts. It’s really damn impressive, they put on such an amazing live show
@@tambian89 I never look down-upon any band that relies upon a click. Not that you do, but that it’s really a sacrifice on their part. They way they hear the performance compared to the audience must be torture after a while. Nonetheless, they’re legends for doing what’s necessary to be air-tight.
@@snail415 I get you and same - I actually think it's more difficult playing to the click live, far moreso than in the studio where you can do multiple takes, even with the live sound engineers they probably have.
@@etzenhammer also Metallica wanted to sound like a garage rock band. They kept it raw. Who cares how tight it is. Meshuggah uses live metronomes and triggers. They write their songs with computer programs. Some of their albums are literally drum samples.
i love how drummers all around the world including myself struggle with even 30 seconds into bleed and tomas can play it every damn night on tour. what a fucking beast
As someone who has been skipping Bleed whenever I’m listening to Obzen, I can honestly say it’s probably one of the most important pieces of music of our time. It will be remembered forever.
Seen them in Cincinnati and it blew my fucking mind. You’ll never experience anything like a meshuggah show. Up front too. I hope to catch them many more times, sad part is seeing as to how old they are I don’t know how many more tours or albums they have left in them
Many. Dont ask me how i know. But he said they dont want to end as long as they have good health and energy to go on with touring and make music. And they are. I happend to know him!
This is what I imagine primordial hyperspace sounded like when universes spontaneously started existing. Primal intensity that words actually can’t describe but I did my best.
I’ve been a fan since ‘99. I couldn’t be happier or prouder of these guys. They (and Devin Townsend) have made the last 25 years a real listening joy. Glad they’re still slappin’ bitches on a nightly basis.
As someone who spent 5 months to be able to play this half-decently on guitar, the fact all 5 of these guys can STILL play this song in perfect sync seems downright inhuman
I’m glad metal has Meshugga Cattle Decapitation, and cannibal corpse I’m not the biggest fan of Meshugga but, their live abilities and quality breed a culture of bands that want to continue that same trend. It’s working too, I’ve gone to 4 metal shows in the last 2 years and all the bands were going hard sounding tighter than ever
meshuggah live video bingo: thomas haake is the best drummer in the world man meshuggah are so tight, even after all these years can we give props to the amazing lighting technician please? i saw meshuggah in 19xx. they completely changed my life i wish they would do more melodic stuff like the end of straws
This song is ridiculous. What makes it worse is how they always find a slightly different pocket to sit in every time they do it live…. The song is an absurd idea. The record version was intense. Yet I still seek out live versions, hard to say about any modern metal acts frankly
I'm not a fan at all of Meshuggah's music (trust me, I've tried for many years, don't bother 😉), but I truly appreciate the love and respect their legion of fans give them.
Ain’t no way a band this big doesn’t play with a click going on in their ear monitors. Doesn’t take away the talent it takes to pull this off. I know musicians who cant play for shit with a click going
Pretty sure the band is wearing in-ear monitors with a metronome counting in the song. Notice the singer tapping his mic a few beats before the rest of the band comes in.
This band would be unbeatable and super badass more than they are if they only had a good singer front man or at least one you can understand a single word
![Meshuggah - Bleed [Alive DVD]](/img/n.gif)
There will never be another Meshuggah, nor an equal.
amen
Give it up for Tomas's calves dude.
52 years old, crazy
I saw once a comment about this track like "It's 2007 song and still sounds like it's from the future" :)
listen to elastic, feels like 2040.
Gonna be a long time before that statement loses any truth
Holy SHIT this sounds perfect. Its incredible how such a difficult song like this gets performed this flawlessly.
At night’s end!
This was my same exact thought! The last time I saw them was about 20 years ago, and my god they are even better now, they age like fine wine

Those white Scandinavian beards takes it up 1000%.
The concentration on Fredrik’s face. Tightest band I’ve ever seen live. Ridiculous.
This is reallife mad scientist material, absolutely insane.
Man this is like oxygen
Imagine Metallica being as tight as this, O man. Meshuggah is sooo next level. Jesus christ.....
I could imagine Hetfield playing this tbh... not Lars though 😅
Been hearing this same thing over and over since early mid 80's. Not impressed by any measure.
Metallica has better catchier songs still though. And justice is better then any monotone meshuggah album by far.
@@bigmonk802 Agreed.. but it's just different styles, Meshuggah will never really be catchy something more melodic
@@etzenhammer also Metallica wanted to sound like a garage rock band. They kept it raw. Who cares how tight it is. Meshuggah uses live metronomes and triggers. They write their songs with computer programs. Some of their albums are literally drum samples.
This is the best Jens has ever sounded IMO. Absolutely crushing vocals and perfect execution. Meshuggah is the GOAT 🐐
i love how drummers all around the world including myself struggle with even 30 seconds into bleed and tomas can play it every damn night on tour. what a fucking beast
I think I saw a docu of when they were making the album, and it took him months to be able to play it comfortably the way they wrote it
at 52 years old!
the timing coming in all together was so tight
The fact they do that all night is impressive. No count in with a cymbal, just BOOM into the song.
@@brettmarkusic they're using in ear monitors, the counting is done by a click track
@@Thunderfork 6:00 Yar, holding those silences and maintaining the swang~
@@Thunderfork correct. I was gonna say something if you didn’t.
Singer clicks in tapping his mic
It’s funny that this crazy sounding band is just a bunch of old dudes that look like they could play Gandalf.
Each and every security guard became instant meshuggah fans that night!
Not my style but I'm a drummer and this song has always blown me away
Oh Absolutely! The difficulty of the double bass of this song is legendary. Tomas Haake is a monster!
@@afr126100% Agreed!
Its most or all drummers fearsong …. even Portnoy said.. hope its not ”Bleed” on Drumeo
As someone who has been skipping Bleed whenever I’m listening to Obzen, I can honestly say it’s probably one of the most important pieces of music of our time. It will be remembered forever.
Wow! Meshuggah have held up so well over the years
That’s actually me in the background before the song starts saying “let’s fuc**** go” 😂
Meshuggah is just on another level!
Damn I'm going to see them this weekend can't wait!
Enjoy! I had an amazing night!
Tonight!!!
So damn good. Had to drive to their next nearest show a few days later after I caught them the first time~
To still be doing this song after this long and advancing in their years and still sounding like they wrote it yesterday is astounding.

Bleed and cold cheese pizza......a wonderful night.
That countdown on the mic. I like that
with a click
@@dominiquemorissette7388do they use a click track?
Remember people, they're playing this at the END of the setlist. Insane
Strong performance Meshuggah.
They age like a fine wine.

Shoutout to the lighting team who are also playing this but with the LIGHTS
Love this guys
So amazing and so brutal!! Damn they're good and this the understatement of the century.
Bro as a guitar player myself i just gotta say the real magic in this band is Thomas because holy hell....
Virtuosity!
Fredrik’s playing & his guitar are insane!!
2:43 damn those flash lights in fast kick fills🤩 hats off for their light-man, he also knows this song perfectly 👏🏻
Its been known that in meshuggah the lighting is their 6th member!
Tight as fuck! Sounds killer!
Tomas looks like hes about to fall asleep
Excelente video, no me habia fijado q tenia una hermosa decoracion de flores de bajo de meshusggah xD
jajaja! Si hombre, fue para celebrar la Navidad.
MY WRIST FUCKING HURTS AND IM NOT EVEN PLAYING THE SONG
What about calves?

tapping your microphone to count in the next song is actually genius
Yes, tapping along to the time-keeping device in his ear. Real genius. How are you so stunned by the simplest things???
@@randymarsh5509 what the fuck is your problem? of course im gonna be surprised if ive never seen anyone else do it before
@@randymarsh5509Do they play with a click track?
@@marshmallo1930Yes, the vast majority of bands do these days.
Fuckin' unreal.
Tomas Haake even when lars was he young can't touch this guy, the dude is next level on the drums. Mesuggah are top tier.
that bass drum is clicky as HELL
Did Jens count in the song with mic taps in the beginning? :D
More likely it's a visual cue for the lighting guys.
@@efa666 click track ... and the lightshow is preprogrammed and timecoded
I do not even comment on any of these MSHGGH live videos anymore because
Looks like Fredrik is growing his hair out again, noice
I thought they retired this song because Tomas couldn't play it anymore? Anyways, glad it's still on the set!
No, i believe he had some problems with eczema. Not sure though.
Yeah, he had a skin condition that needed to be treated, and they canceled a tour in 2022. I am one of the victims of that cancellation
Apparently he still can, demonstrated here
Bleed for Meshuggah like Smoke On The Water For Deep Purple
what do you use for a camera? badass 🔥
This was filmed with a IPhone 15 Pro Max. Mic got heavily distorted with me being right in front of subwoofers.
Most underrated prog rock band of all time! ❤️
I love how the guitarists have to get going strumming before the sound kicks in.
0:04 Nice to see Tom Araya come out of retirement to help on guitars over there on the far right
It makes me to rip my speakers
How's Tomas on the drums!!!
meshuggah live video bingo:
thomas haake is the best drummer in the world
man meshuggah are so tight, even after all these years
can we give props to the amazing lighting technician please?

Is this supposed to cause a seizures on many levels? If it weren't for the 20 second (ish) break I might have been in a bad place
Was thinking…how do they know when to hit…if anyone is off by a millisecond…the song is screwed….then I saw the finger tap on the mic!
Click track
I'm not a fan at all of Meshuggah's music (trust me, I've tried for many years, don't bother 😉), but I truly appreciate the love and respect their legion of fans give them.
They don’t play this song in Europe anymore
Who said santa is not real?
I’m so amazed at how they counted this song off…the singer? Really?
Click track in ears
I’m sure that could be true, that’s not what it looked like
@@dylandigby1776 the lightshow is timecoded so I'm sure there's a click track... Forgot to bring sunglasses for the show
Ain’t no way a band this big doesn’t play with a click going on in their ear monitors. Doesn’t take away the talent it takes to pull this off. I know musicians who cant play for shit with a click going
@@mr.keiser4259 who mention the lack of talent ?
I don’t get it. How are they this good?
No count in or fuck all. Straight on without permission.
Pretty sure the band is wearing in-ear monitors with a metronome counting in the song. Notice the singer tapping his mic a few beats before the rest of the band comes in.
Sleepy crowd
The lights make this unwatchable for me
I’m not a fan of screamo shit, but damn this groove is sick!
This band would be unbeatable and super badass more than they are if they only had a good singer front man or at least one you can understand a single word
What are you talking about lmao
Dude.......what?
🐶💔
What am I missing? This sounds awful.
because it's recorded on the phone. when u r in the audience It sounds perfect
You wanted actual music but ended up here, like I did.
@@randymarsh5509 watch official recordings of full concerts. u'll hear, what is the sound quality.
