Meshuggah - Demiurge Guitar Cover (1080p Head Stock Cam)

[@plagueburial]

It is physically impossible to not headbang at 2:26. I'm pretty sure it's scientific law. Good shit.

[@ZackAttack1798]

Sandwich Hawk tried to not. It literally is impossible.

[@atelierct6167]

XD

[@gavabundo_0072]

Make it 1.5 speed, and you headbang through the whole song.

[@Anomalocaria]

Can confirm. Can't listen with headphones and play along, lose the headphones about 90% of the time. Real bummer.

[@cafpow2282]

called "Brutal Law" or something

[@rhys.cunningham4179]

2:26 , my favourite Meshuggah riff, it amazes me some people don’t like Koloss, but this riff is something else, the bend just hits DIFFERENT

[@well...456]

They should just make a video game where meshuggah has to save America from a zombie apocalypse with all their music as the soundtrack

[@ky1ewithsty1e]

@@well...456 fuck America. Save Sweden

[@t-man5196]

def not my favorite meshuggah riff 🤣😂😅 but its good

[@MrBaverbo]

Yeah koloss is prob my fav album

[@jslian95]

2:27 probably the most appropriate headbang for this part

[@9S0dX]

+Third Eye StrΔng Can't resist

[@robertomunoz9745]

so fucking awesome.... i think is the best part of the whole album, i would the same jaja

[@HarbingerOfAnarchy]

No, it's totally the best their part. )

[@Archaku]

yeah its good but at 4:11

[@atelierct6167]

XD

[@IDontKnow-wf7vu]

Why can't all guitar covers have cameras on the guitars? Killer job, btw.

[@Dbzmad34222]

Jordan Dansereau i think it looks better

[@Robert-goose1]

I Don't Know 0123456789 I would if I had the money for the Go Pro and the mount but I don't.

I'm glad I'm not the only who speaks guitarrish

[@patrickconnelly9767]

Maybe, one of the best breakdowns, ever.

[@Ninololcss]

after 2 years i still come back here to watch this video, still one of the best covers i've seing, you can feel the power =O

[@Diego-us6gf]

Same! xD saw this some time ago and I had to search it up and see it once again, the tone is perfection!

[@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte]

Nisemekut Mk .....*me too, I've seen this many times,... I Love it*

[@jens.einzelgaenger.mp4]

I'm still here doing that same thing. Love this cover.

[@Ramdas_Devadiga]

Goosebumps every single time! Epic.

[@notresp0nding]

It's 2022... still here.

[@asmspec3018]

7 years later and I STILL lose my shit at 2:26

[@J0hnnyd0e]

[@DevinBreshears]

The whole body movements at 2:29 is everything I need to know about you as a person and I’m here for it. \m/

[@Pierrot110194]

2:26 Buckle up!

[@gabryelves]

how to play meshuggah: - get drunk - buy a 8-string guitar - use two strings only -FORGET the logical metrical

[@mbm3155]

Gabryel Alves they went hatd on this song, they use 3 strings sometimes

[@guybuddy1]

drugs - some of them yes, but no alcohol. alcohol is always a bad idea when you're trying to play articulate music.

[@nelsonzacharyscott1751]

Guy Buddy drinking is actually a very specific part of my practice ritual.. being drunk and drinking are definitely two separate things.

[@papahims]

No just focus and Beer

[@StevenEveral]

Don’t forget the ‘Meshuggah Face’! Just roll your eyes into the back of your head and expose your lower row of teeth. 😅

[@Castdownacoward]

I love the tone of that guitar. Absolute beauty

[@jeddltr]

11 years. Hotdamn. I make sure to revisit this at least once a year. Love this cover

[@S7320]

I use the stock Carvin string set because the way this guitar was setup by the factory was amazing and I didn't want to mess with it at all. I tune to F# Standard, this cover is in F standard, and my string gauges are as follows: 68 - 56 - 46 - 36 - 26 - 17 - 13 - 10 It can be a little floppy tuned down a half step to F standard but for F# standard it feels great and it has a very clear tone.

[@S7320]

My DC800 has no binding it's just straight wood on wood. When I talked to the guy at Carvin he told me that he got his bass coated with Tung Oil and he wished he wouldn't have. He said it doesn't protect the instrument well enough. I'm not sure if the Satin Matte finish will gloss over time but I can tell you it's a great finish for a natural wood guitar. The wood looks very nice.

[@brianmcnulty3010]

Exceptional video my friend. Me and my 5 friends from Ireland watch this religiously. Great stuff.

[@Lefejame123]

I love that the best video cover of this song has more views than the actual music video itself. You can definitely tell this is a musicians music.

[@leonalexanderrottnerolarte5449]

This comment may not have aged well, but it was the upload date difference. Since this video came out first, it got more views, but now the difference is huge

[@TinglesASMR]

Oh man, that cover never gets old. 6 years already and I'm still checking this vid' on a regular basis :D

[@Brentaxe]

8 years on I still watching this monthly. This I’m in my top 3 favourite yt vids of all time.

2:26 AWESOME!

[@Brentaxe]

Just me again checking in to say this is the best video on this whole platform

[@lautarob23]

Your video initiated me into Meshuggah years ago, huge fan since! I saw them live twice and Haake became my role model for drumming. KZbin just re-suggested me this, so I came to say: thank you!!!! 🙏

[@ashrasmun1]

That headbang feels like a mandatory part of the cover. Fantastic job man!

[@StasBurkin]

This cover - bomb!!! 2:26 - best moment, im in shock...

[@skorpekh]

Still the best cover pn youtube of the best riff ever.

[@Cephalotripsy1992]

the tone and the rhythm is too sick

[@keirrandavidson6548]

The moment (literally) when Meshuggah enters/possesses the guitarist covering their songs! Complete and utterly beautiful submission to the music itself lol. Kudos to J Rex for feeling this in a multiverse of ways!

[@kbroomall]

2:26 my back hurt - sick

[@ZaThrint]

Love coming back to this. This is one of the videos that inspired me to get into playing guitar

[@S7320]

That's EPIC

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Excellent cover! I enjoyed speeding it up to 1.5. Also, the your ultimate sway at 2:26 just sent shivers down my spine. I saw Meshuggah a couple years ago in Seattle. What an amazing band and show. I think my head fell off. Oh well, YOLO. BTW, you should have a million subscribers by now! That's how good this is! If you want some happy synthpop come take a listen to my channel. Take care, Sam from machiwoomiapoo.

[@pbishhhhh]

The bend in the opening riff is so heavyyyyy. This is my fav Meshuggah song hands down! Falling, while thrusting squares through circles, serving oneeeeeee" Love how you set up the cam like their music video. You are banging and I love it! 3:35 is sooooooooo heavy. Maybe the heaviest riff ever made... Killer cover!

[@JimFalboguitar]

2:28- the part where Meshuggah gets into downright funk. Love it

[@XXHattoriHanzoXX]

Indeed. The fact that you head-banged for that section added so much flavour to this cover.

[@carpenter71285]

0:00-2:26 - "Ok this is pretty standard. I'll just sway here" 2:27-3:12 - "It's time to get DOWN" 3:13-3:35 - "Ok J Rex, pull yourself together. We have work to do" 3:36-6:11 - "Brain can't process movement. MUST. COUNT. NOTES." 6:11-6:16 - "F*** it. My brain is fried. They'll get the just of it" (Nice video man)

[@kozelskyandrew]

This cover is absolutely legendary.

[@MrJeroenreyns]

nice cover dude, that guitar looks awesome too :p

[@blood.mirror]

Nailed it. ...I'm back again after 11 months to watch this again...

[@rexrocker1268]

I know guitar, I know that’s an 8 string, but what company? That thing is dope as hell. Also who downvotes this? Literally shows you how to play the song and it’s perfectly done. The subtle string bends here and there, hard to hear, but you know it’s right.

[@supersierra70]

i've seen lots of people cover this on youtube, and this by far in my opinion nailed it best. Downpicking the whole tune does it justice...awesome job! I don't mind a badass cool riff being repeated...especially when done flawlessly! As you've shown...you gotta do more vids bro!

[@ZomboBoxL7]

I'm torturing myself at this moment.... playing "Demiurge" on 6 string classical acoustic guitar xD tuned like 8 string electric... * I can't play on my electric at this moment.... need new strings*

[@Lancer843]

I have a hard time getting my 7 string to this tuning, dont even try dude

[@ZomboBoxL7]

xDDD well... it's harder for me cause I have 6 strings :D botch acoustic and electric guitar.

[@dreamtheaterz28]

Sam Torruellas If you get your guitar set up by a lutheir, you should be able to tune to this with a 7 string. But, it is way easier to do with an 8 lol

[@guitarfreak512]

Sam Torruellas Just buy 11 gauge strings for it. Then tune into drop F F-C-F-A#-D#-G-C Ultimate chuggage/djent/floppage

[@Lancer843]

guitarfreak512 Let's also face the fact that I can't even play Meshuggah :P

[@pierresimonetti2689]

I remember when this came out, it was the first time I saw a headstock cam. I thought it was absolutly incredible. A genius.

[@rexrocker1268]

The string bends... Quarter to half step, whole step too. All subtle. Sick. And they have 2 guitars and a bass doing it perfectly together. And that guitar is a work of art, it’s absolutely superb. I thought my 7 string Jackson was dope, and it is, but that thing is a museum piece. 8 string guitars are awesome if you know how to utilize them, they are so new most don’t know how to play them and make them sound awesome except this kind of music or jazz.

[@drumskinninja]

people don't head bang enough in covers you did it even though we couldn't see your head fantastic cover my good sir

[@xyvxyethe5584]

turns into a psychotic video with 1.5 speed at 2:27

[@alexymander]

turns into a john browne right hand

[@Kvarta4]

turns into a typical dragonforce song with 2 speed

[@nesfan8]

His movement reminds me of Les Claypool tbh

[@artw0rk]

Love it when people makes it look easy. nailed it - check!

[@S7320]

I will do a full Bleed cover for you guys in a few weeks... Solo and all.

[@miomimomiro]

J Rex what happened to that Bleed cover?

[@AdamButler1337]

I love how you cant help but move to this dude. Love it. Meshuggah is easily one of my favourite bands.

[@ThreeBeingOne]

actually this is the best guitar cover ive ever seen

[@sgtdrpeppers]

I love those Meshuggah first fret bends ❤

[@DinarKutliakhmetov]

best meshuggah cover

[@patodonnell8605]

Truly inspired work! As so many have already said, 2:27 is where life gets real. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to nail this cover AND post it up here!

[@acidangelster]

I used to hate this stuff,but it kind of grew on me.Loved the tone and the playing.Great job.All the six string buggers need to ease off with the 'Get a bass dialouge" its getting really old.

[@True_Necroholic]

Ok then, how about "get a harp"? lol

[@thiccus_riccus]

HammerDimension Get a ukulele?

[@True_Necroholic]

How about a 14 string baritone ukelele, that you tap with both hands?

[@thiccus_riccus]

How about a 24 string ukedjentbass?

[@thiccus_riccus]

That shits whack.

[@philbabbey]

I can say with complete confidence that that will look great. Contrast is awesome, especially when it's natural wood.

[@squeezeslemons]

By head won't stop banging...

[@OutaHereMusic]

I love how you can't help but BANG when you come to play THE RIFF!!!

[@onaidraebmar]

that downstroke tho /\

[@radokost]

Tears of joy in my eyes...Gotta say that man...I listened to your cover many, many times and it never gets old! :))

[@thatonedoc13]

Good cover...but what the hell were you doing at 2.37? working out your right hip flexor???

[@dreadnought703]

I love how much power there is in meshuggah songs.

[@JeffBarberDigideus]

Awesome, but 5:30 - "Preformed" isnt the word youre looking for :) Whats the patch on Pod Farm youre using. it sounds a million times better than most patches ive heard

[@ramhammer_]

Shut up Jeff, no one cares :D

[@subninja8069]

Jeff Barber Your into sack that's gross as fuck.

[@patodonnell8605]

Dude seriously, that just demolished IT! Fantastic cover!

[@gogego998]

Nailed it like it was jesus christ!

[@niovus4053]

Goge go that’s right!

[@dimebagjonathanburtonmustaine]

badass to the bone

[@AlexBelostozky]

Зачем нужны верхние пять струн!?..)

[@Ninololcss]

by far one of the best covers in general i've ever seen

[@nimisty]

how do you get that good sound quality?only the camera?or anything else..tell me..btw great tone

[@S7320]

I recorded into Cubase at the same time I was recording the video.

[@nimisty]

thank u..

[@TheFloatingBartender]

so with Cubase you can record video also?

[@Gabriel.Winpenny]

+Richard Tran Nope. You edit it after and add them together

[@davidmotola1723]

Wow, only 2 videos on this channel and we never got the bleed cover promised in the comments :( RIP. Incredible tone and immaculate playing, BTW.

[@tonybass_6802]

Davie504 want this guitar

[@kkailath]

You're the man - I couldn't have put it any better. Rock on brother

[@followfornothing]

Couldn't you just play this with a distorted bass guitar?

[@mikemedio6541]

followfornothing pretty much but that's not djent enough lmao

[@Finnvbot]

Meshuggah's bass player plays in the same octave as the guitars and it sure sounds different. Even though he rarely doesn't follow the guitars, the bass still occupies a different sonic space. Pickups and scale length has a huge impact on tone.

[@SamCosta1]

Yep kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGKvgpWGi8yajpY

[@dooshgoosh]

This is seriously one of the best cover videos ever dude

[@ThePhilosorpheus]

Really? 8 fucking strings?

[@jgardner5766]

You're new to this aren't you.

[@ThePhilosorpheus]

Not really. Was just hoping for a more accessible way to play Meshuggah.

[@MsPatryk1103]

ThePhilosorpheus Is djent man. Some bands play djent on 10 strings guitars so :) But 8 strings guitar is really fun to play

[@ThePhilosorpheus]

MsPatryk1103 I don´t get why do you need 8 strings if you´re only gonna use the 8th. Djent should use a 2 strings guitar lol

[@MsPatryk1103]

ThePhilosorpheus Often for the solo's and not only djent bands use 8 strings.

[@Arthon32]

I'd say it's worth it. I'd crank up the volume til my ears bled and I still wouldn't stop listening until the song finished. Even then, I'd definitely click replay.

[@der_konstanzer]

this vid is a f****** drug! Enjoyed every second...greets from Germany

[@Slaughterhauzen]

Very nice playing. Tone and playing sounds great. The headbanging in the bridge is cool too, threw me for a second

[@FreepowerUG]

So happy to see some unrestrained headbanging from headstock cam.

[@Icanfigureitoutintime]

This is the greatest video on KZbin.

[@winston5907]

God that tone is immaculate

[@lindojz1523]

The best riff ever written.

[@christam24]

Demiurge is my favorite track from them - and my favorite part of the song is where was the headbang just so groovy, meshuggah are great indeed and you nailed it ofcourse!! props to you

[@dildonicplague1129]

I require myself to watch this video once a week. Best guitar video I've ever seen. Gives me chills. Very nice guitar, tone, camera, and that bend you do on the low string first fret...how? Rock on bro.

[@Possum_Wagons]

I agree. I love the view from the headstock.

[@sillychops]

i like the way you "go pro'ed" your guitar gives it the alive feel

[@LBOGaming]

This is so good i cant tell the difference between the normal song and you playing congrats if meshuggah's guitarist dies you could successfully fill that role but everyone in meshuggah's immortal so yeah

[@Brentaxe]

Hey it’s me Brentaxe saying once again this is the best video there is

[@timandmonica]

You make that riff look much easier than it sounds when listening to the record!

[@bigmurph36]

When are you posting 'Bleed' brother? Can't wait. The headstock cam is the future of badass metal guitar covers.

[@ForteZXZ]

this song could make winter melt.

[@rayXklish]

Thank you for pushing your pinky down on your picking hand. I try to tell so many guitarists that it gives you much more control when picking certain patterns, but I don't see too many people that do it. Nice cover though, man. Love the cam view.

[@rock00dom]

Super well shot, preserves all the energy; along with an A-grade performance! Great job!

[@jver2c94]

You really need to do more covers like this man. This is brutally awesome.

[@grabmyrooster]

That guitar....is absolutely gorgeous....and this cover was fucking epic....I don't know what else I could possibly say.

[@michaelbelletti9509]

We need more people like you on KZbin.

[@S7320]

Right on! I hope you found the options you were wanting. If not do what I did and call up Carvin. That way you can feel certain about what you are ordering. By the way, you'll love your DC800. Congrats!

[@rush2795]

i like your tone better than the actual recording! playing is great as well. right on man

[@blakestandingtall]

Yeah I love the sound of the stock pick ups! it was just the mount option i was concerned about, seeing as i just wanted the pick up to go straight into the wood and the custom page had the option of a mounted pick up and nothing else. Cheers again buddy!

[@onobovoco]

you absolutely need to put up more videos like this

[@duardoCOB]

I keep coming to this vid man, your cover is seriously balls. Amazing job!

[@Wesley-cb6ty]

Badass cover, I’m looking forward to getting myself a new guitar sometime soon so I can learn some of Meshuggah’s greatest, Demiurge will probably be my first

[@Wesley-cb6ty]

I also want to learn Bleed, Combustion, New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Neurotica, The Demon’s Name is Surveillance, and many more. Meshuggah is definitely one of my favorites.

[@seeblunted]

Best cover of this track i have seen, Truly awesome work dude.

[@Ninololcss]

watcing this makes me think that...the guitar in this song is epic, its just...pure metal
