Meshuggah Live at Download Festival UK 2005

[@Sargatha]

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

[@arijitbanerjee5153]

😂

[@luctusvade]

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? 😂

[@18hot30]

tbh they're not really moving much on stage so camera goes brrrrrr

[@realmach5]

Camera angles pulled at random

[@mikehawkisb1g]

Jordan Barnett spit out my beer, so accurate

[@orcwerd]

Seizure inducing chaos

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

[@MB-rn4ul]

Sounds great but it's unwatchable

Stolen comment

[@TheMercilessMelb]

almost 25 years and no stop in sight

[@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

[@MicahRunning]

damn, I'm such a sucker for the guitar's synced head banging moments, Meshuggah does that best just like everything else.

[@ThomSonnyYeah]

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

[@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.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

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".

[@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.

[@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

[@FuckoffDickhead]

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.

[@jameschauvet3140]

[@shashwatbhattarai7487]

What’s so great about it?

[@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

[@stefanjr]

@@thewildhealer541 Mesuggah toke it to the next level AND beyond.

[@GenericInternetter]

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

[@grizzlywhisker]

9:15 is one of my favorite meshuggah riffs, it's so cool.

Have you heard Tesseract? This groove is an example of what they do a lot of...

[@sophilouise86]

I was there! Still remember it so well. Everyone who had been vaguely near the front came out with mud/dust covering their faces and teeth from how crazy everyone was going 😆 Great set!

[@oldones59]

I saw Meshuggah in Chicago about ten years ago. Decapitated opened. One of the best shows I've ever seen!

[@upinthemtns]

In death is death sounds like a hardcore jazz tune!

[@jameschauvet3140]

So sick

[@alletsasil]

8:05 - 8:40 OH MY GOD. I think I would have fainted from all this heaviness.

[@dronmusicsound]

Actually 8:10-8:40 is sick. Very heavy

[@EvanAgee]

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

[@IceKoldKilla]

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

[@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!?!?

[@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!
