That snare got me fucked up.. I’ll never forget seeing these dudes play live. One of the few times I’ve “felt” the music flow through me.. It hit so hard and was just incredible to witness. Never grooved so hard

That ending is so heavy, Jupiter's gravity is jealous.

[@0777coco]

@The Desperado That ... pretty much depends on the size (and density, obviously) of the neutron star, actually. But, at last, every neutron star is pretty heavy in comparison. Also, gravity isn't really "heavy" in the classic meaning of the word, unless we're talking about Fleshgod Apocalypse's "Gravity". That one's heavy in the modern, classic and classical meaning of the word.

[@MrMoon-59]

IRØN You must be fun at parties

[@0777coco]

I don't go to parties.

[@Marcopaxia]

Just imagine Kidman's child (if he has one). If i was him i would never make my dad angry. What a voice.

[@VictheBitter]

One of the best fucking metal bands in the world. Seen them 3 times and they never fail to impress.

[@RicardoMartinez-jy5lo]

One of the few bands willing to break the absurd boycott of playing in Israel.

[@Dirt_Wizard]

Imagine getting headbutted by their vocalist. The way he bangs his head, your neck would break like a fuckin toothpick.

[@Egoblivion]

No, when Jens headbutts, he does so to your soul, which does break like a toothpick.

[@AvrDeathMetalFan]

Heard this song live in Nov 2023, one of the best songs in the set. Not a single note missed the entire set.

[@02SplinterCell02]

Yooo I was there too. Was a nice surprise to hear this as the 2nd song

[@mrartvandelayy]

Came on after Rational Gaze when I saw them, couple Nothing bangers to get the party started

[@skinsfan2225]

how is it possible to be this much of a badass

[@GingerDrums]

Pissed off scandinavians, got to love 'em.

[@TheChrispablo]

in 2002 Meshuggah did Nothing and in 2005 they remastered Nothing

[@PanasonicTooth]

No way, they made an awesome album in 2002!

[@codyrockwood8519]

well, they are the one worth millions :p

[@down7unedpc740]

remastered was 2006?

[@mathprodigy]

Nothing makes sense

[@int_enc]

I just listened Nothing from Meshuggah..

[@fjaviermont]

when the polyrhythm hits u hard

[@mathprodigy]

this is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. them kicking off this live record with it was such a fucking awesome move. then again it's Meshuggah, not surprised. This song with the slightly sped-up live feel and the fact it's in their standard F rather than the low E it was recorded in just makes this live performance so much beast mode.

[@Akiachrounoumena]

decades over Jens scans the crowd with his under bite scowl to find someone who knows where they are in the song and what he's saying ...and every song he loses it to the disappointment of never being able to observe this phenomena.

[@Slayyyer84]

Akiachrounoumena I like you

[@jarodalbrecht2089]

I will never hear pre-obzen meshuggah played live in america. existence is suffering.

[@chuckh9168]

why not? both times ive seen them in teh USA after Obzen they played plenty of pre-obzen tracks, all the way back to Contradictions Collapse

[@dreameshuggah12]

Jarod Albrecht I know it fucking sucks most of my favorite songs are on nothing and before nothing. Even though I do really like the song I catch 33 wasn't the best but there's a lot of great songs on obzen and I am really digging their new album I don't like it as much as their older stuff but much more than their newer albums for the most part

[@juliansalazar7097]

False. They played this song in Orlando last year. Blew my dick off

[@jakeGE]

I saw em in Seattle on the 24th and the ended with Future Breed Machine

[@thomasreuter1614]

Saw them about a year ago from today and they did a bunch off of Nothing and did FBM too. Wish they played more off Catch 33 tho

[@leandertilstedkrist]

actually it is a polymeter, so it is both in 7/8 and 4/4 at the same time. The guitar riff is diffenitely 7/8, but the drums are 4/4 every ninth guitar measure is in 4/4, so that it makes a total of 8 4/4 measures. 8*7/8+4/4 = 8 * 4/4 Jens kidman headbangs in 7/8, while thordendal headbangs in 4/4

[@thejbo777]

Leander Tilsted Kristensen those fuckers...

[@ToddFraud]

I never noticed the 7/8 headbang before, wow

[@jasmeg2844]

1996 was the first time I had the privilege to see Meshuggah opening for Clawfinger in Germany. Since then.. I am Meshuggah fan. Id like to see a Beavis & Butt-Head review on one of their songs. Bleed, New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Pravus or Future Breed Machine :P

[@Rickles]

They sound awesome live.

[@riteshshrestha6066]

How to enjoy meshuggah- first- follow haake groove especially bass than his snare and cymbals work Secondaly- add those drum groove upon fred and haeg guitar wankry, just like a layer of cake

[@cesarmella8062]

UPLOAD 9 - 11 11 , NUMEROLOGIA RULES!!

[@1982AntonioC]

IT'S RAINING ANVILS HERE.

[@leandertilstedkrist]

no it's not. The two are often confused. An example of a polyrhythm would be dotted eights over straight quarter notes. That would be a 3/4 polyrhythm, since 3 quarter notes has the same duration as 4 dotted eights. But both rhythms would be in the same meter. It is called a polymeter, when there is at least 2 meters..

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

hell yeah dance music

[@petercarlson811]

Wow, just wow!

[@wishuhadmyname]

i have no idea how to head-bang to this song. Is it the snare, the kick drum, the hi-hat, the bass guitar?

[@aleksandargeorgiev9572]

I listen to this tune since it came out and still I have no idea what is going on after 0:55 :D. Looks like Jens nails it though.

[@brahimel5500]

Aleksandar Georgiev It's not that hard mate.

[@PlayToDie]

For the intro, you either follow jens, who follows the snare which is in 7/8 or you can follow the guitars and guitarist in 4/4. For the following part, I prefer headbanging with the hi-hat (4/4).

[@paulmertens5522]

They claim that their songs are mostly built around rimple 4/4 rhythms, that they just dress up a bit more particularly; they claim to not think in terms of strict polyrhythms. So, I'd say, try to find an implicit 4/4 rhythm in there somewhere; I think it's there, but maybe I'm hearing things, this shit is pretty intense.

[@JoeyEntourage]

If you must know; just follow the tablature. ||:Jensman-Kidenthal-HighKick-Hagstrom|Jensmanthall-Jensmankidmanthallstrom|Hagstrom-Lovgrenthall-Hagstrom-Hagstrom-Hagstrom:|| It varies slightly between songs, but they always follow relatively similar patterns.

[@MichaSleczek]

love this song

[@sherwinalcantara4918]

I thought Bleed is the heaviest Meshuggah song until I hear this..

[@sk8drummer86]

Yes I'm learning bleed on drums and hands are in 4/4 and that is the pulse of the song but the feet do every other time sig and hake only says everything he does is in 4/4 ... So talented its not even hard to do the poly-meter beats... I want that ease in drumming

[@caprianders]

That solo is fucking amazing

[@IndigoRoses7]

Wow..

[@robbybrooks8352]

Yes! Bow before the beast that is Meshuggah!

[@mathprodigy]

Sam SoloMan they simply feel music completely differently. their name translated literally means "crazy", so you gotta think the way they think is completely irregular

[@LittleMusicBoy]

VERSE RIFF. That's all I can say.

[@RyMillz]

This shit slaps so hard

[@matthewhiggins604]

4:41 Yes.

[@Str8Faced]

Tap your foot (nod head/clap/tap on desk) along with haake's cymbal. That's your 4. Instead of counting a number each time it taps (4), count when it taps AND when it comes up making it an even 8 counts. Once you can do that, you have to be able to hear the phrasing of the instruments, or in this case, how many beats it takes for a riff to repeat itself. Once you find that, you want to start your 1 count when the riff repeats. The intro riff is 7 counts until the last phrase which is 8..

[@maldit0x]

MESUGGHAH FANS SHUOLD SEE THIS AS A PREFORMACE JEWEL! EPIC!
