Playing the Rhythm to Meshuggah "Bleed" Over Stevie Wonder "Superstition"

Things you shouldn't do on a gig, but somehow work out.

This is like the metalhead equivalent of working the Mario Kart lick into jazz pieces

[@leonardofelipesilva2809]

like fitting the solo of master of puppets in a worship song during a church reunion (I don't know how you call the church reunions in english, in portuguese its something alike 'cult')

It's insane how much this is both metaphorically and physically similar to someone filming themselves masturbating in a library. Absolutely killed it hahaha.

that was filthy... in the most badass way possible... good job dude wow!

[@pentexsucks43]

That sounded like a motorcycle engine, absolutely incredible, and smooth as hell.

[@RavenRedwood]

I'm gonna hear a Harley in that song forever now thanks haha

[@diangthericeball]

fun fact: bleed’s rhythm was actually just based off the sound that a harley makes, so i guess you arent wrong!

Only a bass player could pull this off and get away with it. Hats off

[@RastaganTheGreen]

Agreed there. I had a gig where I tried to pull of the Bleed vocals in the middle of Superstition, and it didn't go well. We got kicked out

[@actualturtle2421]

Because nobody pays attention to the bassist 😂

[@arthameadors8952]

That's what happened here.

[@manictiger]

​@@RastaganTheGreen It would absolutely be worth it for me to learn how to play guitar in C Standard and play some Nails - Wide Open Wound in the middle of something and get kicked out for it. 10/10 would do again.

[@hannanathan564]

“Things that people discourage from doing on gigs, however, in the hands of the right musician is nothing short of spectacular”.

[@hansolo8080]

I love that this is showing how music connects people. In every imaginable way. A swedish metal band is quoted in a Stevie Wonder piece by someone who shares his passion via video on the internet so that metal and pop enthusiasts can have a moment together. A blind person would understand this. A deaf person would understand this.

[@PJTheCurryGod]

underrated comment

[@iancraig5415]

If anything this is just proof that the guitar/bass part is in 4/4 and because of that sounds good over literally anything else that's also in 4 lol.

[@arthameadors8952]

Nailed it! That was my exact thought. You hear me straighten out the Bassline to open myself for an option and that's the first thing that came to mind. I've thrown everything from Meshuggah to "Rack City" by Tyga in that section or the turnaround section.

[@msgesus4518]

For a few bars in the beginning it's 4/4 after that, not so much

[@maffooo2040]

@@msgesus4518 it's 4/4 all the way through, it just uses polymetre, but the song is still 4/4

[@actualturtle2421]

All Meshuggah songs are in 4/4, don't let anybody lie to you.

[@toprak3479]

@@maffooo2040 Since only the drummer's hands are in 4/4 for most of Bleed and the kick drums, the guitars and the bass are all in some bizzarro 👽 time signature, you could argue that the 4/4 part is the secondary meter and the song actually has changing odd time signatures throughout. It makes more sense that way a lot of the time in my opinion.

[@mattd6085]

Further proof that Meshuggah is the universal language of music, they fit everywhere, all the time.

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Yeah that worked better than I expected. Well played!

[@Mehoyboi]

right? A super rigid and staccato pattern that somehow fits really well amongst all that pocket groove. I love music.

[@actualturtle2421]

That moment when you had to reset your internal metronome and that head bob slowed wayyy down lol

[@crushed4243]

Absolutely insane!!!! The way you mastered that rhythm is INSPIRING!

[@thebigboi5357]

Usually stay away from super bright bass tones, but it sounds great here! The high frequencies complement percussive playing really nicely.

[@tylerdurden9879]

I like Jazz and I like Meshuggah and i really enjoyed this video so much. Bringing bleed into superstition this way is brilliant. Shout outs and ❤🙏 from Germany.

I will now forever hear bleed when I hear this. Thanks man

That was sneaky, funky and brutal! Well done my man! Shout out to the drummer as well for that tasty fill at the end!

This brought a huge smile to my face when I needed it most Keep killing it with absolute style ✌️

[@suedehead23]

Oh god, came to hear this hilarious thing, had my mind blown at the clicky straight 16th dead notes at 7s!! I've never heard that before, it's so funky, I'll have to try it on my next gig!

[@morgancasey5783]

I’m so happy to see people that appreciate both Stevie Wonder and Meshuggah. What an incredible crossover. ❤️

[@RLPETTY04]

Couldn’t help but laugh. Phenomenal, dude 👌

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Well executed. I’m curious how my ears would’ve received it if I wasn’t told beforehand, but from hearing with being told, it held together. That was awesome.

[@ShaggyDogPhilosopher]

Lol One dude at the venue did the "!" sound from Metal Gear Solid and on the inside was hearing "Taunting whispers accompany my deletion" Anyone else who noticed was like, "The bassist is bored, lol" Love this.

WHEW!! Much powerful crossover between the love of funk and the love of 'Shuggah. This is what live music is about man, don't ever stop. Beers. 🍻

I just imagine like one metalhead in the room perking up like, "hold up...".
