They the OG, they invented the the genre and paved the way for thousands of newer bands. I’m sure they have some sorta trick/cheat code to remembering all the rhythmic patterns and riffs. Or they just play literally 24/7 together
It's not as bad as one would think. Most of their riffs repeat (albeit over the barline) so it's a matter of memorizing the riff and then just getting used to the repetitions as it cycles over the 4/4. They definitely rehearse, and practice too, but the music isn't too bad if you take your time and sit with it.
Future Breed Machine was released in 1995. Let that sink in. It could come out in 2030 and it'd still be some Avant-garde ass, cutting-edge ass, groundbreaking-ass music.
I believe ass that ass your right ass that in ass theory ass this would be ass correct... ass. Lol the amount of word use of ass has been compromised... thank Corona virus I have free time yay
One of the few metal bands where I can't really blame people in the crowd who stand still and just watch, the skills these guys possess must be epic to behold.
Personally either somewhere in the middle of the set, or at the end is perfect. There's a certain point of playing drums where if you push past, you'll pretty much tap into almost endless stamina. I've read Gene Hoglan in SYL/Death days would play the majority of a set with ankle weights on, then take them off towards the end for more endurance demanding pieces.
It's in between Lethargica and Demiurge, because they're relatively less intensive songs for Tomas to play. They're a bit slower and easier, so he gets at least a bit of a rest before and after Bleed. It's a pretty well-designed setlist to accommodate for how demanding Bleed is.
idk if it would sound quite as good with their new style. NMCC sounded amazing when they were doing their super raw and energetic style with grindy guitars. Now it sounds more smoothed out but heavier and more precise, Future Breed Machine still sounds amazing in the new style but NMCC would definitely sound off
Baow baow bu du dum... baow baow bu du du du du du dum... Baow baow bu du dum... baow baow bu du du du du du dum... baow baow bu du Baow baow bu du dum... baow baow bu du du du du du dum... Baow baow bu du dum... baow baow bu du du du du du dum... baow baow bu du (many times)
hell yes. he is on it here. Brutal. Not a flat scream to be heard. That's true aggro vox. None of that cliche death metal stuff. So over the bear growl "im so scary" sound from 1990 that so many bands still do unfortunately. What Jens does... you cant cheat with it. You cant learn any tricks for it. He screams raw mostly mid range. Shit hurts. Trial by fire. Just gotta do it to build and a physical tolerance for it over time.
He has gotten so much flak over the years. But, also to me, he has become such an integral part to the quality of this band's sound. I honestly don't know if he has gotten better over the years or maybe I just learned to appreciate him more, but I could not imagine Meshuggah without him today. In any case, his screams grew dear to my heart and I see his originality; like a commenter before me mentioned, it's not cliche death metal stuff. I salute him to staying true to his style!
If it hurts when you sing, you're doing it wrong. I'm pretty sure he got there through proper vocal training. I don't mean academy, but actually training his vocal cords to withstand the fry. You don't get this good by wrecking your vocal apparatus. No such thing as tolerance. It's like saying you can build a tolerance to cutting. It doesn't work that way.
See them at a venu as their own gig as opposed to these festival style things. It's a way better experience for sound and light IMO. Can't wait for them to come back to AUS :(
It is a slippery slope of addiction, I've seen them 10 times and I suffer severe withdrawal symptoms from not having them play close to me since 2017. I hope to catch them next summer.
That's a really good way of describing Jens. Perfectly fits with Tomas' lyrical style. They're not about bloody demons fantastical tropes. They're lean more abstract, cold, unnatural, unnerving, alien. Jens looming over the crowd, haunting them, as you put it... So accurate
translation: " Meshuggah is my favorite band, therefore, no other band is as good!" and 2nd, learn to spell their name even CLOSE to correctly next time you tell everyone how much better they are than any other band...lol ;)
Demiurge is one of my favorite songs. It's dumb, blunt and exactly what I like about Hagstrom's riffs. They all sound like they were written by the smartest caveman in the tribe, the one who always finds the best weed.
D B IIRC this has been the case since early 2018. Some sort of tendon issues in his wrist I believe. Either way, not complaining about Nilsson in Meshuggah whatsoever
D B I think that, at first, Fredrik had a child and wanted to stay home with his family for a while. I don’t know about the injury and other reasons mentioned here, but I recall that being a reason at the beginning.
These guys are unleashing chaos and order in equal measure, it's a true work of art. To me, they're a testament to the fact that discipline and perseverance is what truly separates the strong from the weak. It's a wake-up call to embrace the struggles of life and to never back down.
In such piece of art as music their message that you described is really strong, beatieful and meaningful. Discipline and lifelong focus on what you are doing, they live on their music, with their music. Priceless
The guy who makes light is pure legend! Excellent imagination of music atmosphere and of course his technique blowing my mind. God bless you if you read this!!!
@@H8in2R4G3 It's the bass guitarist sliding and bending the string repeatedly in perfection sync with the drums. That's why it sounds the way it does. So he's sliding down the neck on the bass and bending the string at the same time. Basic enough thing to do on the instrument but it sounds awesome when it's done well!
the fact that even after all these years of djenting and screaming the fuck out of his soul, his voice is, at least halfways, intact is just mindblowing. at all this whole band hasnt really lost any of its crazyness
www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/rockpalast/video-meshuggah---summer-breeze--100.html this version is mmmuch better. something must've messed up when they uploaded it to TH-cam.
It really is. Not only is the song ridiculously dexterous, the specific grooves themselves are certified legit. When you've played along on guitar or another instrument and really learn what's going on, you appreciate it even more. Noooobody else is writing shit EXACTLY like that
Bleed is one of those songs that are popular for a reason. There's so much going on with this song. The catchy main riff and the anthemic vocal structure are in total antithesis with what Haake plays. Meshuggah's songwriting is just phenomenal.
I don't understand how a group of human beings can actually play it. I play death metal on guitar constantly and have been playing for 25 years and that song wears my arm out after about a minute. Shit is completely ridiculous.
The outro to The Hurt That Finds You First is the most calm and soothing yet brutally heavy thing I've ever heard. The entire second half of that song, is just 10/10, the grooviest thing they've written since Rational Gaze.
This was the most spectacular concert I have ever seen in my life. No matter which is your favorite band, Meshuggah is 3 steps ahead in many respects. So lucky to have been there.
1) Serious kudos to Per Nilsson for coming in and doing solid work - it ain't easy to jump into this band. 2) I haven't made it to Bleed yet, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how well these tunes are coming off live, and sometimes slower than the albums. This band continues to be my favorite band ever - they rarely disappoint!
@@Someone89a That was quite a few years ago. They're programmed now so that it's completely seamless. Check out Edvard Hansson's MA-Land pre-pro video for Born In Dissonance. It's the best mosh pit you'll ever see🤣
if you really pay attention, the guitarists and Tomas aren't really head banging, they're all extremely focused staying on beat, and especially on Bleed the guitarists are all still just making sure they're on tempo. just amazing musicianship
These guys rarely move around or bang heads. They dont need to do anything, their music speaks for itself. Their stage presence is being absolute gods of their instrument
I kind of feel like that’s how a lot of people would be during a show of theirs. You have intentions of going to a metal concert, moshing a little, laughing, screaming, and having a great time. But you ended up at a Meshuggah concert. You stood there with your hands on your head, glued to one spot on the floor, mouth agape and barely blinking for an hour and a half. Never taking your eyes off the gentlemen on stage. You were completely blown away in a way and on a level that you didn’t even know was possible. You walked out looking for validation to your response to it all. And you got it, because all you could see was shock and disbelief on the face of everyone else that was there as you all slowly and quietly piled out of the venue.

That setlist is incredible. All 10/10s for me. I saw them live last year on their UK EU tour dates, and they played both Born In Dissonance and Straws so I am a happy boy. I've seen them play Bleed so many times that I can live without it 😁😁
These guys have an unbelievable amount of ability to manipulate time...Absolutely untouchable...And look relaxed ALMOST bored destroying time signature...Absolutely amazing...
yup youtube doesnt carry the full image im afraid tho i saw them at this very concert and his screams sound as if someone tried to scream for the first time and does it by force I MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY he is so powerful in his delivery

Perfect performance! It's incredible how these guys play the most difficult (rhythmically) songs ever and seems easy, but is not AT ALL! Thank You guys from Rockpalast for this!
This is my favourite next to gojira band ever.. i was on their 2 concerts in Poland... They do a great job with MUSIC&LIGHTS... They tracks are the best!! My every visit on the gym with their music in my headphones!! they are THE BEST !!!!
Un groupe vraiment très original tant harmoniquement , qu'au niveau des climats étranges, et rythmiquement polyrythmique ! Ils ont gagnés un prix je crois ! vraiment fantastique et complexe musicalement !
Came to say this! As a programmer, this is fucking sick! Was super curious how bleed would look.. Not disappointed in the slightest. Dude was on point the entire way through.
@@EnCrypticon23x It has been programmed since around 2012 (Koloss) when they started using in ear click tracks. It was impressive before when it was done live, and it is impressive now, because it is so much more going on that matches everything so fucking majestically.
@@adamnilsson566 so, it's timecoded? It would make sense for something like this since timing on everything is so tight. Either way, it's rad as fuck and nothing but respect for the programmer.
@@albinobeach There's not even that move movement... Alot of great positions and proper color palettes. Respectfully, I'm curious what you'd do differently.
What are you trying to do? Turn the stage into a black hole? With Per and Fred, there will be enough gravity in the riffs to collapse the setup into itself creating a singularity.
I thoroughly love Meshuggah. They make amazing music and I have supported them by buying every album, I've seen them twice live, and will continue to go every time I can, I've bought merch at every show, and I stream their music. I got really bummed out just now though thinking about how many shows these guys do and how often they play the same tracks over and over and they seem to play almost exactly the same set every time, and I just really hope they like playing their music as much as I like listening to it and seeing them perform.
Probably the best performance i saw in a long time. Sound, Light, just about everything was insane. Stood in the first row and i nearly creamed my pants.
Seen them few years back when they went on this opening tour for the violent reason of sleep at a small club in Lawrence Kansas couldn't have been no more than three hundred people it was insane
Came For The Band, Stayed For The Lights Since A Kid, Concert Isn't About Sound & How They Spread Their Energy, But Also GOOD LIGHTING THIS LIGHTING ARE THE BEST LIGHTING EVER I'M SEEN, JUST LIKE GUITAR HERO 3 KAIJU MEGADOME VENUES!!! I'M REALLY ENJOY IT
the dude doing the lights should be listed as an official member of the band
Very true! He's a real boss! Best light show I have seen!

lol he knows all the grooves just as well as them
Jayden Snow best light show in the biz by far.
Always have amazing light shows, even at the small local venue I went to see them at :)
The most mysterious thing in the world for me is how they can remember their own music.
Its incredible the memory... I cant remember after the third chord..
I imagine the drummer doing advanced calculus in his head the whole time

Love how Jens says "Where are you? I don't have my glasses on!" LOL! Even HE knows that the crowd can't say a word because of the awesomeness unfolding before their eyes...
i've been noticing that rockaplast crowd is shit
Mikail Rahmadnegara
Shut up dammy
That setlist is incredible. All 10/10s for me.
I saw them live last year on their UK EU tour dates, and they played both Born In Dissonance and Straws so I am a happy boy. I've seen them play Bleed so many times that I can live without it 😁😁
the line up in the description is wrong, Per Nilsson is playing the guitar appreciate the man
He's played the lead guitarist for two and a half years in the band at this point, I'd consider him a member already. lol
I'd love to have three guitarists in Meshuggah, beast sound!
where is fred? im a bit confused about the lineup
@@schueff0r he's been takin a break for a couple of years now.
Well he still has Special Defects 2 to work on as well so he MIGHT be doing that too.
The big bang was actually meshuggahs first piece, they created time and matter...
Their music somehow sounds ancient and futuristic at the same time
It's like Vikings in space.
they transcend time and space
Perfect soundtrack for when the universe finally collapses.
The universe wishes it could be as heavy as Meshuggah
In other words, this got posted just in the nick of time.
Love that Per plays Bleed riff with closed eyes to focus fully on precise playing... knowing that before him stays huge and crazy audience...
That ain’t Fredrik, that’s Per Nilsson
the drop and synced lightshow of Clockworks is one of the greatest moments in live metal history. Shit is so fuckin lethal together.
That gnome guitarist is killer
He’s amazing player Per Nilsson and nobody even notices. He’s substitute to F. Thordendal since 2017. And in video description isn’t mentioned. :(
Mindblowing - I have to see them live at-least once in my life.
They are unreal live amazing power man u feel it
These guys have an unbelievable amount of ability to manipulate time...Absolutely untouchable...And look relaxed ALMOST bored destroying time signature...Absolutely amazing...
Good god. How are these dudes peaking when they're mostly grey hairs?! Stunning performance. True legends.
Jens is the rare vocalist who's screams sound better as time goes on.
yup
youtube doesnt carry the full image im afraid tho
i saw them at this very concert and his screams sound as if someone tried to scream for the first time and does it by force I MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY
he is so powerful in his delivery
21:00 Future breed machine was released in 1995, while they dont have the stage presence they did back then, their precision and sound is remarkable.
First sex with EDI, the CD came right after koRn Issues. I had this revolving CD players. Looking back, that was some crazy moment.

Press the gear symbol and choose "höchste" (highest)
I’ve seen many live bands.
Meshuggah is incomparable.
It’s more then just the best live band.
It’s like a trip. An experience.
Even a bit spiritual.
Very true they are. More that alien music style love it
Jeff Arab Excellent way of describing it! Alien music indeed
Without a doubt the most professional musicians you’ll ever see. NOTHING they do takes away from the music.
Per is such a goddamn beast.
Perfect performance!
It's incredible how these guys play the most difficult (rhythmically) songs ever and seems easy, but is not AT ALL!
Thank You guys from Rockpalast for this!
Meshuggah is incredible! You should check out Car Bomb too if you haven't already, somehow even more complicated rhythms and just as tight live! :D
@@JoshRudi thanks man
This is my favourite next to gojira band ever.. i was on their 2 concerts in Poland... They do a great job with MUSIC&LIGHTS... They tracks are the best!! My every visit on the gym with their music in my headphones!! they are THE BEST !!!!
There is nothing in this world, that could perform a better live gig than Meshuggah. Absolute Perfection.
What an absolute killer set list
this one goes down for generations to come! send this to space...should be our answer to the abyss looking at us!
The real rockstar here is the lighting guy. Just so spot on
You're right, he doesn't get enough credit
yanqui yeah :/ it’s still fantastic, spot on!
Pretty sure they actually have a guy who controls them manually for meshuggah! I believe he is related to one of the band members
I really would like to see how they perform "New Millenium Cyanide Christ" on this concert.
I was disappointed when they didn't play Clockworks at Open Air this year, but yea they definitely should play NMCC as well.
Slower
Hell yea or corridor of chameleons or chaosphere
pettiniiiii il 10 maggio veniamo a vedervi
🤙🏻🤙🏻🖐🏻🤌🏻👌🏻🤜🏻🤞🏻👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🖐🏻🖕🏻🦿🙏🏻👊🏻🤞🏻🤘💪🏻🦿🦿🙏🏻🤟✊🏻✊🏻👌🏻
Per Nilsson is absolutely KILLING IT "filling in" for Fredrik.
Messugah are a constant explosion what most bands can't get, must just be admired for the quality throughout and to holdup to their golden era
All killer no filler
Un groupe vraiment très original tant harmoniquement , qu'au niveau des climats étranges, et rythmiquement polyrythmique ! Ils ont gagnés un prix je crois ! vraiment fantastique et complexe musicalement !
I don’t think the lineup info is accurate, Per Nilsen is playing in Thordendal’s place.
I thought that looked like him
Lol, I thought the same, love Per Nilsson playing!
yep, and when i saw that i was like "WHAT?"... didn't know he is in Messhugah lol
There are other human beings who can play that stuff live?!?
@@TulliusHeuer He just covers for Fredrik, since he's busy with some other project.
Still watching 2024 my favorites tracks are playing this gigs
MESHUGGAH IS LIFE
I would *BLEED* out just to be there. Amazing.
hell of a light show
Came to say this! As a programmer, this is fucking sick! Was super curious how bleed would look.. Not disappointed in the slightest. Dude was on point the entire way through.
@@EnCrypticon23x It has been programmed since around 2012 (Koloss) when they started using in ear click tracks. It was impressive before when it was done live, and it is impressive now, because it is so much more going on that matches everything so fucking majestically.
@@adamnilsson566 so, it's timecoded? It would make sense for something like this since timing on everything is so tight. Either way, it's rad as fuck and nothing but respect for the programmer.
I think its too much. That with the music. overkill.
@@albinobeach There's not even that move movement... Alot of great positions and proper color palettes. Respectfully, I'm curious what you'd do differently.
Straws pulled at random is beyond beauty
Love Per as a fill in - awesome player
they need to include the 'lighting guy' cam. Totally in sync! He must be djenting while controlling it
It's Timecode. See more here: th-cam.com/channels/X2SzBV4epScnDbunObW9Ig.htmlvideos
He definitely djents
I'm buying a desk lamp that djents.. maybe I will get better at math
I feel like Fred should return, but Per should stay as well.
Per is incredible. One of the best I've seen
What are you trying to do? Turn the stage into a black hole? With Per and Fred, there will be enough gravity in the riffs to collapse the setup into itself creating a singularity.
@@zodiacmanan sounds like the next logical progression for meshuggah's sound.
Meshuggah with THREE guitarists?? The universe would literally implode from the sheer heaviness
die erste Adventkalendertür geht auf und es kommt... MESHUGGAH raus. Sensationell! Danke!
I can hear the Aaaaa Aaaaa's right now :D
Those light beams on Straws Pulled at Random are so heavy they could crush the audience.
I thoroughly love Meshuggah. They make amazing music and I have supported them by buying every album, I've seen them twice live, and will continue to go every time I can, I've bought merch at every show, and I stream their music. I got really bummed out just now though thinking about how many shows these guys do and how often they play the same tracks over and over and they seem to play almost exactly the same set every time, and I just really hope they like playing their music as much as I like listening to it and seeing them perform.
Jens looks like he is commanding a fucking army with that pose, Respect.
I've seen them twice and was probably the best sounding performances I've ever heard.
Never get tired of the last two minutes of straws 🤘🏻
th-cam.com/video/Pg3eIij0wdA/w-d-xo.html
I agree. How about 3 hours worth on loop :)
@@666monkeyboy pfffff say what?!!
Yuuuuup. Incredible beauty.
666monkeyboy why thank you good sir
@@666monkeyboy I didn't know how much I needed that... Thank you... Truly..
Give a big hand to Lightsman too 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Edvard Hansson is a monster
The most talented band I have come across, truly unique. You won't ever see another band like meshuggah.
I love how “the hurt that finds you first” starts out with a snare roll that builds in dynamics and the lights match it. New favorite intro
Probably the best performance i saw in a long time. Sound, Light, just about everything was insane. Stood in the first row and i nearly creamed my pants.
Seen them few years back when they went on this opening tour for the violent reason of sleep at a small club in Lawrence Kansas couldn't have been no more than three hundred people it was insane
4:44 heaviest, most satisfying bass slide ever.
The lighting effects and their sound makes the singer, guitar and bass players look like alien gods from a far view.
Came For The Band, Stayed For The Lights
Since A Kid, Concert Isn't About Sound & How They Spread Their Energy, But Also GOOD LIGHTING
THIS LIGHTING ARE THE BEST LIGHTING EVER I'M SEEN, JUST LIKE GUITAR HERO 3 KAIJU MEGADOME VENUES!!!
I'M REALLY ENJOY IT
Playing Bleed at the end of the set is madness and they killed it.
Dual floor toms is such an Alpha move. I love these guys \m/
... that's *NOT* Fredrik Thordendal... whoever that is, he's still extremely competent!
He's more than that. He's unbelievably good
It's Per Nilsson he played in Scar Symmetry and he's one of the sickest guitarist in the game!
Glad someone caught that.
The riff starting at 24:50 is probably my favourite riff ever all categories
12:35 for me
Yeah men, i totally agree!
....cuando escuche este riff por alla en 1995 - 96 pense, aqui hay algo nuevo!
42:48 \m/
What the fuck was up with that solo, tho? xD
I've never heard a solo like that
Their lights man is almost becoming as good a musician as them. God damn
How this drummers feet don’t fall off is beyond me
