What is your favorite MESHUGGAH riff? What band should I do a Guitar Riff Evolution of next?? Be sure to check out the playlist here: bit.ly/37L2UAe
You & Johnny are absolute madmen and legends for even attempting these riffs, rock on andrew! 🤘
That riff you played from Straws Pulled at Random is definitely a favourite of mine.
Tool next for sure
You guys made Humiliative sound even more crushing
The Sickening riff is a great riff!
its amazing how ahead of their time Meshuggah was. even to this day nobody sounds exactly like them.
For real, they've been a band longer than I've been alive haha
Yeah because bands these days actually sound interesting for more than 1.5 songs at a time
Truth, especially with Destroy Erase Improve.
Michael Bowman such a good album ❤️
lolbro why are you like this?
My guitar teacher said something that I always remembered:
"When I saw Meshuggah in the early 90's, no one knew how to headband to them."
Your teacher is a real one
@@nikok8329 He was an awesome guy. Always found the positive in everything, even a shitty song you came up with as a teenager, haha.
@@austinodonnell7359 that’s nice to hear ! I always try to appreciate people who are kind like that!
they still dont lol
Yes when they played Ozzfest no one really knew how to pit to them yet lololol it was still a massive pit just a little awkward at times
obzen was 12 years ago. weird to realize
Ray Martinez feels like yesterday
@@fredriksvard2603 it does
Very weird
🤮
Obzen and some of the Blut aus Nord stuff from the past 10 years mark the end of interesting metal for me. blutausnord.bandcamp.com/album/777-sect-s-2
New Millennium is still the sickest riff of all time
The ending is the most badass thing human can listen without their ears exploding.
Well, that and Chaosphere in general. Conctenation goes hard as balls too.
rasánudbA yeah when the drums come back in! I can’t stop listening to that it’s such a nasty groove.
Outro is illegally good
It’s absolutely ridiculous how good it is
Hell yes! The riff that got me hooked back in 8th grade in 99'
It djents
shu-bah-do-dah-dun-dun-do-dah-do-dah-dun-dun-dun
it math metals.
Nik Nocturnal it does doesnt it
It djonts
I feel sorry for djent
It's incredible they had such a modern sound in 94. Waaaaay ahead of their time.
nobody paid attention to the fact that Meshuggah would never be as cool , if their guitarist wasnt into jazz fusion, he is the heart of the band and it's producer
Want to be blown away? The first song he plays "Humiliative" is actually from the album "Contradictions Collapse" released in 1991. Unreal how far ahead they were
@@user-mm3sd3uh6y Fredrik is a Holdsworth freak and we love him for that.
Yeah i believe the nu metal of the 90's is where the modernly distorted metal sound started for me that 80s and 70s metal is soft compared to what we have today i mean the only reason why we have a future in metal is because of its past so it all had to start somewhere...
@@Jesus4Guitarhumiliative is from the None EP (1994), not CC. Still ahead od thrir time ofc, but CC had little to do with djent.
Dancers to a discordant system has to be one of the most underrated Meshuggah songs!! That whole Obzen album was a powerhouse!!
with this sort of modern production something that came out 22 years ago sounds like something that could have come out last year
Tbh despite the production, meshuggah still sounds way ahead of their time
@@liquid2114 true😎🤘
Music is not just about production
Liquid theyre not just ahead of their times they pioneered the times were in now
Guitarists Suck of course not but good tone is important
That “In Death - Is Death” groove...oh man so good!
Their 7 string work from the 90s was monstrous. A must-hear !
Their 7 string albums were what caught my attention When i Started to dig them back in 2017.
I actually prefer their 7 string stuff now. “Nothing” is what made me get an 8 string guitar, but the older stuff seems much more chaotic and frantic. Plus, the fact that Dick could actually play an octave below them, gave the early stuff such a more heavy visceral punch.
Should of air guitar'd New Millenium Cyanide Christ.
That video is timeless, priceless and genius.
Haha my first intro to Meshuggah, so simple yet still one of the most powerful songs/videos ever
"What should we do for the video?"...."Let's just, GO!"
Should have*
Better be Dancers of a Discordant System on this.
Edit: Nice
Damn, that was amazing! Props for nailing all those parts (especially Future Breed, Cyanide Christ, Colossus, Monstrocity and Clockworks), those are some absolutely ridiculous riffs. Also, cool to see Catch 33 get a little love for once haha.
@@boarderking133 fist bump.
"There's no way riffs can be harder than some solos"
Me: shows them the Meshuggah discography
Toby K. or lamb of god lol
Try some Sylosis
Or Necrophagist
LoG riffs aren't too bad, especially compared to others. The Faceless for example, have some *terrifying* riffs. Conquering Dystopia has some bangers too. A LOT of these newer bands as well...just to get attention and show off sometimes, which is dumb. I don't think LoG riffs are too bad....it will get your rhythm chops and picking hand on point though, so will Hetfield and Dimebag stuff.
@@rickfeith6372 Fallujah as well. Especially on Dreamless, the rhythm guitar on that album is absolutely ridiculous.
My head hurts. Enjoy our prolonged suffering.
Johnny Ciardullo gotchu fam. This was all sick af
Great job dude, fucking love ‘Shuggah
You guys nailed it, big respect :)
Man I don't wanna know how hard it was to play bleed
@@jacobsage8085 It sucked haha
Can't believe you didn't include Stengah. That's an epic riff.
Or Pravus
Stengah is THE Meshuggah riff. Almost 20 years later, no riff has ever hit that hard. That riff sounds like it straight up *hates* you.
I just did a full 1 guitar 1 take cover of Stengah
@@BJforthelife best fuckin riffs ever on that song

I feel like you guys were the only people capable of doing this cause I don't think anyone would torture themselves with meshuggah that much but I respect that you guys were able to pull this off amazingly
@Азат Арыстанбекұлы I know that cover
@@CadeLand011 stfu dude it's challenging objectively just let people think things are difficult
@@CadeLand011 what can you play that's so hard
I personally miss their 7 string days when you could still label them loosely as thrash metal (be it a technical form), but them expanding to 8 string basically made a new metal sub-genre which have influenced modern metal
Should have done a riff from "I" lol
I think I could even cover that one, maybe..
@@shaneaghan7013 Then do it.
@@steefan2248
Its been done. Its insane but doable. Hell I could probably cover of it if I spent over a decade learning it
10:30-11:50 WAY underrated
should have done some contradictions collapse riffs too
Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere are such great albums, I'll still be listening to them another 25 years from now.
Michael Nightingale same here mate
Albums that are way ahead of its time.
Contradictions Collapse is a old school Album
Chaosphere is so fucking Savage! A great workout album. Rage on the weights!!!
Imo Chaosphere is the most lethal one in their discography
3:16 is my favorite Meshuggah riff ever. Glad it got included.
Damn violent sleep was 2016? Jeez. Swore that just dropped lol.
Shawn Mitchell seriously
Wtf seriously 🤯
They're coming out with a new album either this year or next tho
@@ryan1840 they better
imagine them with modern gear doing that back then. theyd be considered aliens lol. andrew keep it up bruh
They had pretty much the same stuff as now, and they WERE considered aliens - still are, haha!
@@slbstmrd recording wasnt the same then
@@raymartinez5389 yep... But live shows haven't changed too drastically. You could still get a big sound live back then... that is what we can now try to replicate in studio recordings with modern advances too. They'd just be limited mostly in some gear but overall the idea was the same. A few bands were moving into low tunings around this time. Even slipknot was getting started around 1994 - 1995 and they tuned low
@@raymartinez5389 I think they sounded way better back then.
Agreed with all other comments above. They were doing this since 94 brah.
You should put some of their first album, when they started as Meshuggallica
Maybe Metalluggah?)
Contradictions Collapse never gets respect. A moment of silence for some of Meshuggah's coolest thrash riffs
@@turbobomzh металлюга, чот ору😂😂
I closes my eyes while this was playing and realized that Messuggah has actually been writing a single song since they started. It's just spread out over all their other ones.
they were so ahead of the other bands that even now, 25 years after their first album they're still in the 'hype' of what's being done in metal these days
Well, I'm off to listening to some more Meshuggah
This happens every time I click on a Meshuggah related video. "Oh boy, here I go again listening to Dancers for the 4000th time"
Corridor Of Chameleons is still the greatest breakdown ever written
Animals As Leaders clearly copied this riff structure on Ca$cade
I never see this song get enough love.
Hard agree, absolutely punishing breakdown in this song.
What's about Dehumanization?
Literally the best
Absolutely
This makes me want to check out their discography, which I would not have done. Props for putting this together.
You chose the right in death Is death section to play hell yeah
My fave homie
That song is goosebumps all the way...even when i replay it for 1000 times.
To this day, the middle part of The mouth licking what you've bled. Every time I hear it, eargasms. Also blows my mind that I was 8 when Chaosphere came out...
Also THE absolute grooviest lead solos even put to tape...
I think marrow is a seriously underrated m eshuggah riff. Its sooooo heavy and when it opens up halfway through the first verse its just so demonic. I love it.
I’d love to see a Periphery guitar riff evolution.
Oh yes please
P-Boi fans, wya🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Abraham Perez Corona Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy xD
Hell yes.
You heard the Bulb Meshuggah covers? He is pretty much spot on. Its on soundcloud.
Love that riff from Straws Pulled at Random. One of my favorite songs of theirs.
Up late and Baena posting that new new. Also. May-chuggah riff to max for me is Demiurge
That is the definitive Mechuggah riff. Demiurge defines chug
I don't mean to shit on this video in any way, but Contradictions Collapse is an extremely important part of Meshuggah's history and is an integral part of their evolution. Regardless, amazing video my man!
Destroy Erase Improve has so many heavy riffs: Transfixion, Inside What's Within Behind, Terminal Illusions etc. But the heaviest, most technical song in my opinion is Paralyzing Ignorance from Contradictions Collapse. Little bit thrashy but my god was it heavy back then, still goes hard in my opinion
Gotta say - this is mixed extremely well. Maybe not the cleanest, but holy shit does it sound heavy (like it should).
Ok
I always get emotional when i see that tribute green Ibanez :(
Love you guys!
Saw than in December in Boston at Fenway. Meshuggah is my favorite metal band of all time and this was my first time seeing them live. I’ve seen a lot of metal bands live nobody touches Meshuggah. They are the tightest and best sounding live band I’ve ever heard. And yes Haake is a fucking legend! He’s in his early 50’s now and didn’t miss a note. Absolutely insane.
Corridor of Chameleons predicted all modern hardcore dissonance alarm chords riffs
Straws pulled is such an epic heavy song. Its an uplifting song heard live.
No contradictions Collapse???
I remember when I first heard Meshuggah, it was when I randomly got Catch Thirtythree and listened to the entire album because of the way the album was, you couldn't just listen to one song, you had to listen to the whole album as if it was one long track telling an entire story and I loved it~❤
Humiliative has got to be my fav, plenty great riffs throughout the bands history but all the riffs in that song are perfection. Great job!
Nice work guys!! This stuff is NOT easy to play. For the record, Meshuggah was one of the loudest concerts I've ever been to, and also one of the tightest. Keep it up guys!
This is straight evil. Perhaps one of the best videos I’ve seen from ya’ll yet! Phew
Meshuggah are, without a doubt, my favourite jazz ensemble of all time
What's the point of a "meshuggah riff evolution" video if you leave out their debut album?
He didn't
@@poohandler8646 yes he did. He left out Contradictions collapse
This is the earliest I've ever been. Love this video
Fk yea, so glad you included that riff from Straws Pulled at Random. It's been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it.
This was sick! Great work!
The world hasn’t even caught up with their first album. Great work guys
8 years back. When i first discovered meshuggah, i despised that the riffs sounded so low that i cant even hear a thing, and the riff really looked easy and really simple to play. Little did i know that i was a fool, the complexity was in the picking hand, time signatures, tempo changing and writing. Now that my music taste/ears has matured i felt really ashamed for bitching meshuggah years ago. Ive listened all meshuggah's album these past weeks and i was blowned away of how amazing their musicality talent are
P/s: sorry for my bad english
Awesome video guys! Well done
Ohhhh how I love this! Great work on playing and editing it all!
I love how groovy, heavy, and complicated they can make simple patterns sound. I got to see them live in SF once and it was the coolest metal show I've witnessed
I've enjoyed this a lot! Thanks!
Dudes thank you so much for making this. I've been starved of new Meshuggah content! I needed this!
Holy shit!!! I haven't even watched it yet, but I'm hyped. Meshuggah's the best!!
Contradictions Collapse be like: ok bro ima head out
F
This is amazing, a tasty choice of riffs, well done!
This is incredible! Amazing work.
straws pulled at random probably best riff ever
NiCE wow the last album is 4 years old oO new album coming soon I hope ^^
Very good take, congrats!
I'm always happy when I see anything Meshuggah...love them to bits!
Good job memorizing those polyrhythms!
You guys rock! 🤘
All the crazy concentration that went into this video is real.
damn humiliative is one of my favourites, sounds really different here
Wow. Absolutely nailed it! Awesome video dude
Thanks, Baena. Very cool!
Combustion and do not look down are my favourite Meshuggah riffs hands down.
On a side note this vid makes me want to tune up my 8 string up to F again
F
Up? Lol haha
@@hectorvegasduque2234 yes up, im a half step down from F 😂
Well crap... I was hoping you would have had at least one of their thrashier old riffs from the Contradictions Collapse era lol.
You guys are awesome!!
Big Bravo for this! Nice playing
So you just completely ignored Contradictions Collapse. Ok.
Why does Johnny always stare into the distance like hes having Vietnam flashbacks?
I'm doing B.E.D.M.A.S
What an excellent video 🤘🏼
Absolutely bad ass!! Loved it!! Sharing!!
Im kinda sad that Letargica didn’t make it but awesome video
usually not the type to write these kinds of comments but...... where is Perpetual Black Second?
Still kicking our asses in 2020
Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands. So all of these riffs are awesome. Great job!
Great playing! Big challenge nailing those rhythms and you guys did them justice.
Super happy you gave corridor of chameleons some love.
Damn your tone is amazing!! I actually prefer it over Meshuggah's.
and that damn Aristides.....
IMO his tone is very boring. i don't think i would've enjoyed meshuggah as much if they sounded like this. it sounds like every generic djent band
No.
You still WONT play the main riff from Bleed 😂😂
The rhythm is really hard trust me it took me a couple months to get it to half speed.
It's hard tho.
@@Vulkanzed-117 Chill man, i cant even play guitar, i know its Hard. Its not just 0000
@@primedisappointment9741 this really tells the meshuggah/Bleed haters that its Hard af, if really good djent guitarist cant play it 😅👍
@@ThePaTuXi fact
Excellent work guys.
NMCC!!!
That was really sick to watch close up, great work guys!
Contradictions Collapse?
Wonder when they gonna drop that new new.
My guess is later this year
they should buy babymetal nine string and put on album
April 1st of this year!
I'm beyond satisfied with you execution of every riff, I feel like you almost stepped up the engineering
Nicely done dude
Was considering getting an 8, but idk if I can compete with this level...
Sterling Glover its so much fun, just practice a lot
Dew it
Funny enough, I got an 8 in this time. I've already got the intro to Combustion, a majority of Demiurge, and the first verse/chorus of Bleed.
@@sterlingglover2331 niceee
When the troll face flew by I freaking died.
Awesome video guys
Meshuggah are the Tool of metal with their time signatures.
2 words..
*Car Bomb*
Thank me later...
Car Bomb is the real Insanity of time signatures
@@omnicide3251 Car Bomb is Meshuggah turned to 11 mixed with The Dillinger Escape Plan.
99% of Meshuggah is in 4/4, if you look at the larger pattern.
Evolution of Killswitch Engage!!!
I've done that already, check out the playlist 🤘
Badass! and definitely both of you are awesome i bet it was hard it is one of my most favorite bands. Keep it coming!
awesome! thanks for the retrospective
This band is the reason I don't like any "djent" music it's already been done and with perfection
