The math behind 'FUTURE BREED MACHINE'

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Thanks for having me, Yogev! I've been a fan of your channel for a long time. One of the few I can consistently count on for both education and entertainment. Much love! (even if you fumbled how old the song is) ❤️

[@moonboogien8908]

Wow!...... it's Joao!

[@joshualegroulx9629]

Love your videos man!

yooooooooo my guy joan is in the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KasbashPlays]

Ayyyy! Good to see you on here João!

[@chriscatharsis5236]

dude your tone is BONKERS

[@arsonne]

This song coming out in 1995 is crazy. They were so far ahead of their time it’s like if Slayer came out in 1968.

[@mattwhite399]

Hilarious and spot on!

[@Todesnuss]

I mean Future is in the title...

[@RafaelCDet]

What exactly do you think is "so ahead" of 1995 for this song? Because literally everything in it had already been done at that point.

[@skajam4830]

@@RafaelCDet yeah what? name a single other band with heavy syncopation rhythms like this pre 2000

[@bradroma]

@@RafaelCDetdisagree. Burden is on you - what else sounded like this in 1995?

[@stefbroks1]

Little anecdote for the scene lovers :) Bart (Textures guitarist) and I (Textures drummer) were in same class at highschool. By accident Bart got a sampler from Nuclear Blast somwhere in 1994 with some NB bands on it. One of them was Meshuggah with a unreleased demo of track of Suffer in Truth. Being 13 year old guys, Bart directly discovered something 'funny' was going on here. He really got me into it by telling about the song, although we didn't really figure out what was going on with all that polyrhythm vibe (we just got into metal with Sepultura's Arise and Deicide's Legion - which is a really proggy death metal album by the way). Later on a friend of ours bought the album Destroy Erase Improve in may 1995 directly when it was released. I remember listening to it the first time. Future Breed Machine really got me by the balls directly, but I got really hooked with Soulburn and Inside What's Within Behind. Super paradigm shift there for me!! The world upside down...suddenly. Well...this good friend Elwin Dekkers also asked me to go to their gig in de Blokhut, Rotterdam, as they were supporting for Hypocrisy. So we did, in 1995. There were just 100 people or so in the venue and....almost everybody walked away after hearing one song of Meshuggah. It was really too much for all those death metal guys haha. Actually...it was also a bit too much for us as well. We stayed with a few others, but didn't have the slightest clue what was REALLY going on on stage hahaha. Legendary evening! But me a whole bunch of friends then got really into the Swedes....especially the EP None blasted our speakers non stop. Later on Chaosphere. Most funny thing for me is Meshuggah and Textures came up with the same riff at the same time, later on. What became known as the Bleed riff is also our bridge riff in Old Days Born Anew from album Silhouettes. Released at the same time as Meshuggah's Obzen. We built tons and tons of memories on the music of Meshuggah. And we improved our skills waaaaay beyond because of those lads. Still..I'm 43 now. We supported for Meshuggah on our welcome back show here in the Netherlands, 2 months ago, for a few thousand people. 20 years after we supported for them in Melkweg, Amsterdam on their Nothing tour. Insane! The story carries on it seems. Lots more anecdotes to tell about all this...but for now.... Ciao, Stef - Textures

[@michaeldebecker1472]

I discovered Textures thanks to Spotify playlists based on Meshuggah... Great band! Congrats for what you're doing 👍

[@whatmakesyousaythat1]

Still one of nastiest things I’ve heard is that Laments of an Icarus intro with that slow triplet ride on top, love the grooves you come up with

[@SilentAssasin85]

Hey Man, just want to say that encountering you here feels surreal... Just discovered Textures +-2 years ago, with Silhouettes being one of my favorite metal albums. Everything in it just clicks for me. Never thought I would stumble upon a comment of someone so strongly connected with so many memorable moments from my life, and connected via music he creates. Just surreal... Keep up the good work! Is any new stuff around the corner already? ;>

[@mosthatedminnesotan]

Super cool man this is an amazing story!

[@milimaximus1624]

Amazing anekdote, Stef 👌🏻 thanx for sharing!! I hope Textures make it back to DK sometime! I always have a blast with you guys 🤗😎

[@samgquinlan]

Great news for you, it's not even the first Mayshuggah 😎

[@markhaessler4395]

29 years later and this track still has some of the absolute top teir headbanger grooves.

[@ChaosPootato]

9:00 this part has such a subtle change but it adds a TON. It's like they're crushing you more and more

[@ChaosPootato]

Also I would've loved a small part about the china accents on the "riff 2" part

[@sinkopation]

João also has some Carbomb covers and I would LOVE to see you breakdown some more of their material. I feel like you would get a kick out of their song "Spirit of poison".

[@CFChristian]

Carbomb is great but I can't find the 1. Therefore, I cannot headbang.

[@SMACKDOWN111]

Spirit of poison and garrucha are the two I want to see on time consuming the most

[@bkebradley]

I love this album's style, this is what I wish they still sounded like. The faster, more aggressive sound they had back then was so unique

[@charlieavis1459]

I am so pumped that MAYshuggah is back. Best month of the year

[@kenzenlee]

I didn't expect João to be here! A pleasant surprise for sure.

[@YogevGabay]

He's DA MAN

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

Humiliative + FBM back to back this year was insane. So glad I went to 3 shows in Europe. Also all of those videos never cease to remind you how insanely good those guys are on their instruments. When they play it live it looks like it's nothing else then casually cutting onions and carrots while cooking. Sure they've been playing it for 30 years now, but still. Meshuggah forever 🤘🏼

[@ChristopherRoss.]

In light of how Joao got that tone (which is super close to the record), its really interesting to me that Destroy Erase Improve was recorded using Mesa Dual Recs, which are notorious for their flubby low end. They must have boosted the ever living crap out of the signal into the amp.

[@nolfred98]

Man i love that snare

[@marcosrgcm]

I went into this video thinking this song was much more simple than others, maybe because it's their early work and I have listened to it so many times that I know it by memory, but I am amazed at how intrincate this riffs are. This band continues to surprisme me after so many years. Also, amazing video!

[@Om-maa]

Ooh, an I Am Colossus teaser at the end! An awesome job on FBM here by you two djentlemen.

[@YogevGabay]

And now it's out !

[@TulioG]

João is a legend.. great video as always

[@Cha0sMaster]

The collaboration I didn't know I needed, but I now appreciate being alive to see

[@crushingbelial]

Still my favorite Meshuggah track. While earlier on in their career, it's still just so accessible, yet showcases their intense creativity along with some top-tier headbanging material. Bravo Yogev, I truly enjoyed every second of this video

[@YogevGabay]

Thanks a lot !

[@johannrajan3279]

12:50 That's why it sounds like a different song when they slowed it down for Future Breed Machine(Mayhem Version).

Cool to see Joao here. His cover are great!

[@metaddict]

Couldn't click this faster. I think it's the only song (and the album of course) that I can say changed my life. I searched for years after anything similar and couldn't find it. Wasn't until many years later I realized how unique and ahead of its time Meshuggah was.

[@tsbdgaming69s96]

João’s guitar tone sounds almost exactly like the record, unless it is the record itself. Idk, I’m a little over halfway through the video, so I don’t know yet. Either way, I’ve seen João’s covers of some of Thornhill’s stuff, and damn does he get that tone super close to the actual record, and is an awesome guitarist. Yogev, your genius mind is a curse! Lmao

Going through a shitty time and your content is grounding. Great content as always.

[@YogevGabay]

Man, sorry to hear ! But it does make me happy to hear the videos help. Hang in there !

[@Carlospabe]

Fun to add that in that tripletty riff at 10:14 the riff changes from a 2:3 polyrhythm perspective (quarter note triplets) at the first part to a 3:4 polyrhythm at the second. In the first part you play 3 notes over 2 beats (and that is why you land on a third beat over the 4 note) and in the second part you play 4 notes over 3 beats (and that is why you fill the 3 beats that the riff is caged into). I think this way to analyse it is so cool.

[@YogevGabay]

You're right ! that is true !

[@AmrddH]

the triplets section absolutely blew my brain wide open - no wonder i couldn't get the feel right! thank you so much for this, yogev!

Bro just pre-fired the whole video...

Well I was mostly right, though the "pre-chorus" could've been more in-depth And also I didn't think that the second part of breakdown was triplets... A lesson (approved by Fredrik!) didn't have this as triplets... Btw it's here kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5bHdourfpV7mZY

[@YogevGabay]

Yeh it's been so loooggggg

[@horseradish4046]

the triplets shifted to duplets (all in a hard staccato 7/4 riff) is one of my favorite parts of any Meshuggah song. Also feel like the song structure doesn't get enough praise, it's basically a pop-song structure with verses, choruses, bridges, etc. but on fuckin crack: Intro - chaos break - verse - mini chorus - verse - main chorus - bridge (intro riff) - solo section - build - big extended breakdown - breakdown bridge? - modified breakdown bridge? - chaos break - mini chorus - main chorus - outro (intro riff) Most of their songs are just awesome riff 1, awesome riff 2, etc. but this is way more involved, imho the best song they've ever made.

[@YogevGabay]

Very true !

[@gehtdichnixan7982]

For all who like to follow the numbers in half time speed, I recommend the Mayhem-Version from their "True human design" (and of course the super cool campfire-Version) 🙂

[@casinosquare8169]

I was there 29 years ago, at that time we were all listening to metallica, megadeth, slayer and maybe neo métal stuff. Just imagine what a blast it was for us when this track came out. That was totally insane.

[@YogevGabay]

I can't even imagine how it was to listen to it when it came out !

[@Yupppi]

In fact the same tip applies to just about any and every guitar tone ever if it's not a solo gig. You need to leave space for other instruments that live in that space and do the job better than guitar. Like say for example bass and vocals. You have your own sweet spot. The bass frequencies are slow so you can't get the percussive tone with them present, also they become muddy if you distort them (although many high gain devices smartly first remove the bass, then distort it, then add the bass back in). The clean part is almost as good as the ending of Straws Pulled at Random. Really comfy. 17! = 17*16*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 ;)
