00:00 - Straws Pulled Random
05:22 - In Death is Death
13:32 - Future Breed Machine

[@Sargatha]

I like to believe that this live footage was not edited. The cameraman just teleported everywhere against his will listening to this.

[@arijitbanerjee5153]

😂

[@UtherSayer]

My guy stoned af. what an epic thought

[@TheShockninja]

That is epically underrated AF right there

[@andTutin]

this is how particles behave at quantum level

[@raz0rcarich99]

Meshuggah are hyper-dimensional aliens that bend space and time.

[@distortionfiend]

Director: so which camera angle do you want? Meshuggah: Yes

[@MrSpokk80]

Or maybe todays light operator was a video editor before? 😂

[@realmach5]

Camera angles pulled at random

I would like your comment but it's on 33.

[@MB-rn4ul]

Sounds great but it's unwatchable

[@HelloThere-bj9rw]

Stolen comment

[@df-fd3ei]

It would be a sin to never see Meshuggah live. On my bucket list.

[@robnorwood3591]

I saw them open for Slayer in 99. Huge fan since that night.

[@cremejockey8636]

Not too hard. Last time i saw them was a tour in support of Koloss and they headlined and Animals as Leaders opened! It was only $25 dollars GA

[@jacobturner9547]

Same here . I need to see this band . Been to over 200 concerts in my life. I have to

[@7AKV7]

Absolute truth

[@hcaz5818]

So happy I saw them right before Fredrick stopped playing live

[@dcox5555]

They are so unique! It’s like a metal band ate a jazz band and shit out Meshuggah

[@Egoblivion]

Nice!

[@raz0rcarich99]

It's kinda literally true as well.

[@Itsunclegabby]

Do you know Tigran Hamsayan? He's an amazing Armenian pianist. I'm no expert, but he plays Armenian folk fused with jazz; it's beautiful. I love driving to it... anyway! Tigran is a fan of Meshuggah, and I feel like I can hear their influence in his music. During the pandemic, he uploaded some at home play-through, and one of them he edits in him throwing up the horns. If anyone comes across this, please check out "The Call Within".

[@ThomSonnyYeah]

Imagine being a young band on this lineup and getting to stand side of stage for this. It'd blow my fucking mind.

[@KadeKalka]

Imagine how amazing a full Catch 33 set would be. Holy shit.

[@KF7MGT]

My personal favorite tbh

[@rhino202]

Man. I would go insane. I've probably listened to that album more than any of them. Bout time for another "experimental" album!!

[@mrvn5848]

I would kill for that, and a full set of Chaosphere

[@user-ss9ts6ki5u]

Caosphere would be legend!

[@Frankzoar]

I never thought they would EVER play anything from it until I saw them live and they surprised me with not only ‘in death is life’ and ‘in death is death’ but they even included minds mirrors. I fucking lost it, lol.

[@divertinguincp]

Those rhythms of In Death Is Death are fucking insane!!

[@Egoblivion]

Yep

[@dronmusicsound]

Ye they re nuts af. how they manage to remember all of it

[@OHBJJ9634]

@@dronmusicsound one riff is entirly random. Took me a week of trying play it consistently for 4 hours to get it down. Didnt play it for one day and forgot

[@pipespeeps5349]

@@OHBJJ9634 yea that riff is just insane, have heard the song many many times and i usually figure it out by then, but the notes are just random asf

[@timothyryan8753]

@@OHBJJ9634 you talking about the part at 7:42? I’ve been able to discern a pattern for the rest but that section seems totally random.

[@shashwatbhattarai7487]

What’s so great about it?

[@greatpower30]

And then 3 years later Obzen comes out... just try and wrap your head around that.

[@jameschauvet3140]

greatpower30 fuck

[@liamranby1480]

Gareth I think he means that they were already in such strong form. And they haven’t even released Obzen yet which many consider to be one of their best albums

[@JobForAMaxboy]

@@liamranby1480 they’ve been in great form right from day one. Even contradictions collapse and their early demos kick the ass of most metal bands

[@Egoblivion]

@@liamranby1480 they were already LEGEND-WAIT-FOR-IT-ARY in the metal world....and no I can't wrap my head around that!!!

[@dronmusicsound]

That’s their prime on the video. After Obzen they started to become older. Bleed is pinnacle of their work

[@GenericInternetter]

15:49 Watch how the drums engages Jens' demon mode.

[@GodsNode]

Oh my god, that live performance of future breed machine is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.

[@rockboy360]

No one in a million years could have predicted this was gonna be the future of metal back in those days.

[@thewildhealer541]

Especially not in 1995. They are godly at live performances too. Saw them headlining for the first time back in April. It was truly one of the best shows I've seen and I've been to 100's of concerts probably. I was thinking they are getting pretty old and I really wanted to see them before they quit. Sad thought but they started in 1987 but they still play perfectly and didn't miss one note. They are not really that big in Sweden and I can't understand why. The only band I can think of being as influential as Meshuggah is Pantera but honestly Meshuggah took it to the next level

[@CaptainBeefy]

13:03 the sound guy finally gets out of the shitter

[@scottmacdonald8990]

I was there, basically looked like an in-house sound guy got shoved off the controls by one of the Meshuggah crew... it made a HUGE difference on the day!

[@kingfillins4117]

Still no kick though

[@jamespeterson4275]

LMAOOOOOOOOO

Tomas Haake playing Future Breed Machine: "Needs more bass drum" ....Then writes Bleed.

3 songs but nearly 20 mins of a set. Going to their shows now is insane. The lighting is on point. Considered an actual member of the band while on tour. He's that good.

[@MoleculeTwo]

He's great, but it's all programmed nowadays

[@Djent_Djenerator]

@@MoleculeTwo yeah but he programmed them and still does everything with the lighting, even if it’s programmed

[@EvanAgee]

That bridge section of Straws Pulled at Random is very un-Meshuggah. Almost new wave 80s inspired, love it!

[@creekandseminole]

I first saw them when they toured with Tool then they came back a year or so later and played with Strapping Young Lad. A tornado came in through town that same day but they didn't cancel the show. I went and about 30 other people were there to watch them.

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

It was actually not a tornado, just their soundcheck.

[@Egoblivion]

What!? Are you freaking serious!? 30 people at a SYL/Meshuggah show!?!?

[@Ruffnek310]

I miss the headbanging, and the solos, and the early 2000s FUCK! Take me back in a dream!

[@Egoblivion]

Bruh, it's started kicking back off...

[@michaelvigil1417]

That riff at 10:45 had me mesmerized for weeks now, lol. Meshuggah fuckin rock!!!

[@CpLKaNeZA]

fav riff of all time up to this day. doesn't get more jazzy in metal than this.

[@simonrigg8391]

Amazing! They were the first band on and they only gave them 20mins but they fucking used it!

[@Egoblivion]

I feel sorry for the bands that followed lol

[@SPLIFFZPUFFZ]

Straws is a pretty sick opener. If you didn't know... it would be so jaw-dropping.

[@suniso370]

Future breed machine is such a gift to metal, and the way they play it here feels like trying to outrun a train

[@biohazard8295]

They were like "Feeling kinda cute, might release Bleed in a couple years"

[@timothymckane6362]

[@miagifodder5599]

first time i heard of this band and when i saw this live and its still the best footage of them live in my eyes.
