I find it awesome that they were doing "breakdowns" back when metallica was playing Fuel like it was the sickest shit since ebola. meshuggah is miles upon miles ahead
@@Pirustae I agree, but not because breakdowns sucks, but because now it feels unnatural. I like when is a natural breakdown like Phobophile by Cryptopsy, Raining Blood by Slayer or Domination by Pantera but Deathcore breakdowns? Damn man, that feels so crap, feels forced.
Yeah! Reminds of me the first time I heard Meshuggah. It was Future Breed Machine, and then the whole Destroy Erase Improve album. I thought their way of playing skank beats or halftime stuff was like nothing else i had heard til' them, the whole thing rhythmically had a jazz fusion feel to it as well as Thonderdal's Holdsworth-like solos. It resonated with me as a 16 year old and still does
I remember hearing an artist say they would act all crazy on stage when they first started because they "wern't as good" and they felt it distracted the fans from them missing notes......Maybe that had something to do with it? I have noticed a lot of bands transform from acting crazy on stage to chilling....Just saying
Meshuggah has always been amazing, but I just watched meshuggah play this in montreal, and while it was an awesome performance they are lacking the intensity they once had starting with jens. They r older now so understandable, but holy shit this is one of the most intense performances ive ever seen. Jens really helped this band stand out hes really one of the best metal vocalists ever, especially back" then
I still think time of release pretty much phases this out, it's coincidence (first half of the 90s was advent of groovier metal after all, lots of this stuff). By the way, DEI booklet has their sources of inspiration noted - there's everything from Bjork, through Allan Holdsworth, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Rush to Anthrax. So you can find grunge parts in Meshuggah if search well, I guess :).
It's Marten Hagstrom. I think he's responsible of writing their prettier, more accessible, melodic moments (think Acrid Placidity or ending of Straws Pulled at Random). Don't quote me on that though. Nice to hear 90s are recent :)
This song was the first one that really moved me by them. I wish they would mix in a couple of these old gems with their new stuff on tour... I would lose my shit.
wrong coach in their bakcs propably. I also was bodily removed in metal pubs for intense headbanging "too aggressive". This was inspired by americas szene (ian,bobby,rob,dime...) and now they want to appear "nordic" and "above" it. Music is a kultural statement now not a way to cope with stupid mass media and stupid society anymore, metal now is the sueciety it once banged against.
None EP has been released almost at the same time as Korn's debut album (like month later). I don't think they had a chance of influencing them. Besides, Korn weren't too much into rhytmical mindfuckery, which is Meshuggah's trademark. Korn was always into funky, hip hop bits (to put it simple), Meshuggah was still kinda technothrash back then (and maybe still is? who knows the genre now).
indeed, i framed that issue. They did a review of destroy erase improve, and said that it was the best metal album to sliced bread. It's above my signed Kerry King T-SHIRT from an old slayer tour. Meshuggah for life!
marten headbanging is the most extreme in metal history. if you add that he is playing those insane riffs with matematical presition... pffffff it just blows my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
*chuckles* Props for the vid man. My fav meshuggah album of alltime, eventhough it only had a few songs on it, every song on it was a godamn masterpiece.
They're both using wireless packs by the looks of it, so I'm guessing Frederick's cut out, because Mårten sounded fine to me, and as for timing Frederick's solos are always all over the place and disjointed on purpose
saw them with ministry in vegas, house of blues, got jens to run up and give me a hug, +10 for me. Real nice guy. THen he left to gamble and i think there was a hockey game on too.
haha, yeah dude, you can tell they hadn't mastered the style they were trying to create during the recording of the album but by the time they played this live version Meshuggah was ready to make history.

He tried real hard to keep that hair.
a'la 1990s Maynard
Its a madman look and i love it
@@CaptainBeefy
Yeah but Maynard doesnt have hair loss.
Yes isn’t bald lol he just shaves his head
@@TCM215 he IS bald, thats why he shaves his head lol

Anthrax did breakdowns in the 80s!
Breakdowns aren't that interesting. Never were

hopefully after 12 years you grew up from that cringe comment lol
@@Rikarwb are you okay kid?
Perfect performance, heavier than anything at the time, heavier than anything now, tight as Weather Report!

Marten Hagstrom is crazy here, what great times! Destroy, Erase, Improve is my all time favorite metal album!
Same
they had so much more energy back then holy crap

I'm pretty sure it's an age thing.
+scrub I miss Fredriks headbanging!
Lol yeah the difference between being in your 20s and your 40s
@@matthewnelson5519 age also the music got more technical.
i love old meshuggah
Before breakdowns were cool.
so true
@Var Ki listen to Greed by Meshuggah, that song is from 1989 and has probably the first ever djent breakdown, right after the solo
Slayer did it in raining blood though
@@chadmarx7718 Also with Angel Of Death
One of the first Meshuggah songs I heard back in the day. The best era.
I cannot think of another band that goes as hard as this live.
Always great to see Marten freaking the fuck out on stage. His energy has always been one of the best parts of their live show.
newbs at shows be like this aint bleed!
8 strings werent even a thought at this point
You cant say they weren't a thought. Just a dream due to construction complications.
@@Ruffnek310 Cant believe you responded 7 years later lmao
goddamn it, jens is putting so much energy into this performance, especially at the end.
The crowd at 3:58 trying to figure out the rhythm haha
It's always crowd vs shugg

the heaviest meshuggah song imo..this shit slams
Trevor woods I think human design's sane is heavier
They are so ahead of their time, even today.
Best metal voice ever!!! Best metal band ever in my opinion!!!
Sooo intense. Fucking love meshuggah.
WAAY ahead of their time
i wanna hack my school and somehow play this song over the loudspeakers.
I want to hack EVERYTHING and play this over the speakers.
Holy crap even this upload is old af. Thank you for posting this gem!
We were sending movies in by snail mail back then!

this song is real humiliative.
Everybody loves a skullet. God they’ve been so far ahead of the curve since the beginning

Mehuggah never cease to amaze me. Awesome band. \m/ \m/ \m/
Is there anymore footage like this please? I fucking love this 'vintage' shit so much, look at these guys, 90's yo!
this shit is the origin for everything i listen to currently
Easily one of the best Meshuggah songs ever. Jesus christ this is AWESOME
I don't think it's possible to avoid headbanging when that intro groove hits. I still think this might be one of the heaviest songs ever written.
This is live? WTF
The sound is just ridiculous!!!
Fucking Amazing.
This song was the first one that really moved me by them. I wish they would mix in a couple of these old gems with their new stuff on tour... I would lose my shit.
They still play this one live sometimes
hell yeah, 1980. that band needs to make it big, they are amazing.
damn I really hope they produce another album!
Fuck me! this is how I remember them best. Jens 'WITH' hair; the 'Jens do' as we affectionatly called it; Should never have cut it off.
fuck, that ending riff knocks planets off their orbital paths. Can't believe they wrote this shit in 1994. Insane. Meshuggah are metal gods
Sweet hair Jens
Meshuggah is without doubt the best band ever! And this video is without doubt the coolest video ever! Love this song!
thanks a lot for posting this!! please upload more, if you have :) meshuggah is too damn great. fucking geniuses...
Holy fuck I love this video and the video description sooooooooooo much
Classic Meshuggah. thanks for sharing this.
5 stars, sir, 5 stars!
Opinion's are like assholes; everyone has them.
this is one of the most epic videos of all time
@bea5ToloG It's Popstad (Pop city). It was a festival with all kinds of genres, and this show was also broadcasted live on swedish radio.
Holy shit where did this energy go?

@thenewhumandesign It is Gustaf Hielm who played with them from 1995-2004.
i love the banner behind them. pop star? pop stage? whatever it is its perfect

Any more from this show? Damn on fire
Some badass headbanging there by Mårten haha! =)
Virtual Dub. There's "interleaving" option in audio menu, you can correct audio misalignment there.
marten headbanging is the most extreme in metal history. if you add that he is playing those insane riffs with matematical presition... pffffff it just blows my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
That fucking ending
+i approve of this Groovy as fuck!
At 2:02 they all enter into a new state of reality, one more complex and sophisticated than anything they have previously comprehended
*chuckles* Props for the vid man. My fav meshuggah album of alltime, eventhough it only had a few songs on it, every song on it was a godamn masterpiece.
what really happened at 2:43 both guitar went out or half off, was it the click track missing or what really happened anyone
They're both using wireless packs by the looks of it, so I'm guessing Frederick's cut out, because Mårten sounded fine to me, and as for timing Frederick's solos are always all over the place and disjointed on purpose
this is by far the best messhugah live clip. many memories when i started playin!
this and clips of them at ozzfest was pretty cool
A close second would definitely be their performance at metal and hardcore fest 2003-04(?) DAS BRUT
That film is the shit! Wish it had better audio because the energy and camerawork is spot on!
All I can say is WOW this kicks some serious serious A++ .
1:36 that hair spin is awesome!
I revisit this video at least once a week
2021 still sounds better than kids today
saw them with ministry in vegas, house of blues, got jens to run up and give me a hug, +10 for me. Real nice guy. THen he left to gamble and i think there was a hockey game on too.
Jens? Hair? Awesome...
You mean, the disco-crab blokes? Yes, they're pure gold, gotta favourite them myself :)
Sooo fucking great. Cried just a little bit when F T played the octave melody.
jens haircut smells like meshuggah
I really can't see Jens with this hair without laugh very hard ;-)
tnx for the edit, I remember seeing it on TV. awesome
Wow...old school Meshuggah :P
Fuck I'm speechless after heard this band
You need to listen the full None EP, it´s amazing.
soundofmuzakk really how the fuck they kept on one badass riff for one hour wtf this is not human fuk no
What year was this performance?
haha, yeah dude, you can tell they hadn't mastered the style they were trying to create during the recording of the album but by the time they played this live version Meshuggah was ready to make history.
These guy went hard damn good show
Haevy AF! W
Man, I just found this shit from 2006... What a jewel.
@LethalBmOs It's because he's an alien who is trying to mimic human movements. The only thing he's gotten down is godly finger technique!
one of the best vids on youtube.
The show was called "Popstad" and took place in 1997 in Meshuggah's home town of Umeå- Unfortunately there is no more videos from this.
full show is up on youtube now brotha! :)
this is fucking wild. Amazing
his voice sounds EXACTLY like in the studio if not better. People say that shit about many metal vocalists but this time it's actually true
Thanks! Good work, this makes the video even cooler!
Wow, Jens with hair! Now this is one old video. Love it though.
YESSSSSS! Love their older stuff.
meshuggah never disappoints.....
marten is goin nuts on stage :-P
such an awesome show!!!
fucking great
i tried to headbang with this, now I have a master in mathematics
seeing these guys tonight.
i'm so glad i'm not meshuggistically impaired.
You gotta love him
miss the old Meshuggah
Sick i was looking for this everywhere!!
new album coming.........get ready people!!! MESHUGGAH!!!!!!!
True, fucking awesome, no matter what he wants to do
...good lawd this is some heavy shit!
@rockon3691
...but I think by then Peter Nordin was already out of the band, and he's not in this video.
the classic "i dont really give a fuck" solo
lol at the audience starting to cheer before meshuggah goes "FUCK YOU THE SONG CONTINUES" at 1:30
Look at them kidz go :-) Makes my heart waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarm!!!!!!!!!!!!
man, this is heavy
