Same here. It was the Lateralus tour and I had never heard or even heard of Meshuggah before that. Amazing.

You can hear him straining on certain words to emulate the note bending they do during the whole song too and it's awesome.

[@platonicdescartes]

Yes, it's quite common for metal drummers to go with socks or bare feet. It offers you more control, and when you have foot control for multiple drums or cymbals, that extra touch does help.

[@ollyhudson9931]

If this impressed you react to Meshuggah ‘Clockworks’ (drum-cam). The drumming is several levels up from this and not just about the 🦶. The vocalist also expresses much more range as it’s more of a ballad....wait, what?

A shame the sound and video dont actually match in that video though :P always bothered me too much to appreciate it really

[@liliIiliIilil]

I'm not that big of a fan of Meshuggah. That being said, Clockworks is a masterpiece. I can listen to it any day.

[@BO55N355]

Agreed Clockworks really, really impressed me when they released it.

[@raimondjohansson6552]

“In polymeters typically used by Meshuggah, the guitars might play in odd meters such as 5/16 or 17/16, while drums play in 4/4.[24] One particular example of Haake's use of polymeter is 4/4 against 23/16 bimeter, in which he keeps the hi-hat and ride cymbal in 4/4 time but uses the snare and double bass drums in 23/16 time.[9][34] On "Rational Gaze" (from Nothing), Haake plays simple 4/4 time, hitting the snare on each third beat, for 16 bars. At the same time, the guitars and bass are playing same quarter notes, albeit in a different time signature; eventually both sides meet up again at the 64th beat.[28] Hagström notes about the polymeters, "We've never really been into the odd time signatures we get accused of using. Everything we do is based around a 4/4 core. It's just that we arrange parts differently around that center to make it seem like something else is going on." (source - Wikipedia)

[@youn1700]

I never could fathom how someone can play 4 completely different patterns with all 4 limbs.

[@AntonNidhoggr]

To me this one sounds mostly 4/4 although the drummer makes a lot of weird accented patterns to hide it very well ) I'm coming from the world of modular electro music, where this trick is a simple cool way to enrich your rhythm: to shift some patterns or to use an euclidean generator for example, but this guy doing it all on stage in realtime - applause!

[@uMe_underground]

The secret is that Hake only play 4/4 on the HiHat and Snare, and then he play with the guitar ex 7/8 osv with the kagge

[@AtticsTV]

Actually there are sections in here (the faster snare parts) that are players a 3:2 polyrhythm Hihat to snare, with the regular kick pattern underneath. Aside from that though, most of the hihat is in 4/4 with syncopated snares tied to the guitar riffs.

[@havokmusicinc]

They use a very Carnatic approach to rhythm and meter, with the cymbal acting as a tala of sort to "keep the pulse" while the other instruments do long cyclic hypermeters

[@no1bandfan]

Meshuggah, someone once said “It’s like 3 dudes playing in different times, all in time.”

[@sikthsikthsikth]

Congratulations my man, you have survived the onslaught that is Meshuggah. And you did so with a level of appreciation so that's impressive. On the point of drumming without shoes - it gives you more of a feel for the pedal without a big sole dampening it. In a song with as much bass pedal control as this, it's important you can feel where the bass pedal is as you use it. I always used to take my shoes off for gigs and recordings. Never barefoot though because my feet would stick to the pedals....

[@hakkenarsk]

This is by far the best reaction vid I've seen of Bleed. Son of a beach towel, I lol'ed.

[@demoncleaner80]

Tomas writes like 90% of the song lyrics too, has been for years now.

[@Shake69ification]

This song taught me the word "vellicate" which is a really cool word, btw. These aren't the 4th grade level lyrics you great in pop music. It wasn't the last time I went to the dictionary from a Meshuggah song.

[@demoncleaner80]

@@Shake69ification Spasm actually is sung (spoken?) by Tomas, and that one has all kinds of crazy words. The first song I ever heard by Meshuggah in the late 90's was Future Breed Machine, and that's what made me a fan.

[@Hawk999]

Man, my respect that you are willing and able to dive this deep into the rabbit hole. Many people who react to metal video’s choose Nightwish or Unleash the Archers. While both bands are really great, this is another level. It’s great to see someone with your musical background pick up upon what’s so special about this band. I really enjoyed this. Thanks. 👍🏻

Meshuggah!! So happy you're reviewing one of my fave bands. Bleed is so EPIC, but there are other masterpieces as well. Demiurge, Clockworks, Sinews, Rational Gaze, Corridor I can go on and on. Extreme Progressive Metal at its finest 🤘🤘

[@Diftonez]

There's more so remarkable songs. For example outro in the end of the Straws pulled by random is one of a kind.

[@stephanemarley4102]

If you’re looking for something mind blowing, try listening to Opeth. They’re a Swedish melodic progressive metal band. Their earlier stuff is pure death metal with loads of growling, but their newer stuff is all clean melodic vocals. For something that showcases both listen to Bleak, from the album Blackwater Park. Absolutely astonishing. Love the channel by the way, keep up the good work! 👍

[@kastapostgard5306]

Stephane Marley so much this. Micke Åkerfeldt is my fav vocalist in metal by far, his range is just mindblowing.

[@copperlobo2536]

This is one of those songs I feel that musicians make to impress other musicians. On the surface it doesn't seem that complex to the average listener... but in reality there is so much going on that it takes multiple listening to take it all in.

[@ReinhardtBII]

Another note in favor of Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope, it was included in the curriculum at the Sydney Conservatory. From Metalstorm.net: 'Professor Hindson commented: "I will be presenting 'And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope' to the composition students at the Conservatorium next semester as an exemplar in structure, mixing timbres, meters, modes, how to approach virtuosity, sound and noise, extended performance and techniques. The students will need to study 2 technical aspects of what Ne Obliviscaris have done in their music, and then use these techniques in their own classical music compositions"'

Best sounding live band I've ever heard. They do sound equal, or even better than on their albums. Also, the guitarsolo is from the album, though slightly different. I guess he's playing it, but adding in new "top of his head, into the moment" rinkles. Great reaction.

[@drumkidstu]

This solo is improvised as is the one on the record. Fredrik Thordendal strictly improvises guitar solos.

[@Quiron1985]

@@drumkidstu well, I'm not gonna argue. I don't know enough about music notes to have an arguement. I do know Meshuggah's music pretty good to hear that the solo is different, but in general, it's about the same lines as he does on the album version.

[@VorAbaddon]

Great video! On the socks, from what has been said by Thomas and his spouse in interviews and posts, the socks he uses are a specific brand that he got very used to... and then they went out of business. They proceeded to buy up a HUGE supply of these to try and have enough to get through the rest of his career without having to change.

[@Christer_flyfishing]

Respect to you for react to this masterpiece

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

I think what confuses a lot of people on the timing is Haake is playing straight 4/4 timing up top and a rolling 23/16 on the kicks for the majority of the song.

[@Anaximander29A]

What? It's basically a variation of a 3 against 4 polyrhythm. The emphasis of the kicks (in the beginning) is on every dotted eight note (same length as 3 16th notes), but instead of just dotted eight notes he plays hertas. So for every 3 quarter notes there are 4 hertas on the basedrum but (and there you were right) the song is in 4/4. I don't understand how you came up with 23/16.

[@PatrickMullenDrums]

Um this is a 3/4 polyrythmn my guy, I'm not sure how you got 23/16?

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

If you bothered to look it up, it's A poly rhythm of 4/4 over 23/16 bimeter, Haake himself breaks it down and discusses it in a doco and in different interviews. I'm no expert in these matters I just enjoy music but i'll take his explanation of his own music over yours I think.

[@Koivisto147]

Uh no, the majority of the song is a simple 3 over 4 polyrhythm. There are no 23/16 patterns in Bleed. The section at 4:18 (in this vid) is a 27/16 double bass pattern. Second verse is a 5 over 4 rhythm, the solo is an insane 87/16 pattern, and the breakdown part is a weird offset 48/16 pattern, but there are no 23/16 sections. Haake was probably referring to another song or doesn't remember the time signatures off the top of his head. You don't need to know the technicalities of your music to perform it; its all 'feel' and muscle memory. Just went through the entire song, identified each repeating pattern, counted them up and double and triple checked, and I'm 99% sure there are no 23/16 parts in there.

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

@@Koivisto147 well there ya go, nuts timings one way or another.

[@sepultura777]

Something even crazier is that it isn't triggered lighting. They have a lighting tech that 'plays' along to the music and taps it out on the lighting desk. Look up meshuggahs lighting tech

[@MattMcloughlin]

Half true, they no longer do it manually, the last few tours have all been pre-programmed lights. But yeah for quite a while they had, I believe, Tomas' cousin doing it!

[@Koivisto147]

"when ever you think you have a notion of what the beat pattern is, they go and change it!" This is basically Meshuggah's MO. Every time you think you got it, they take it away. Keeps you constantly on your toes.

[@joakimjohansson4053]

[@metagordy2917]

I notice alot of non drummers watching drummers and being amazed at how the drummer being watched can have so much endurance. What most non drummers don't realise is that if someone's a good drummer, they have good technique, and it actually takes very little effort to play like that. After the initial expenditure of energy to get fills and rolls going, we utilise the rebound of the sticks and spring tension of the pedals to keep things going. Once technique is good it's not thtt difficult to play stuff like this with little sweat.

[@JimmyKlef]

Agree. But getting there... getting to the point where you can easily know/count/intuit your time signatures, remaining in the pocket of not only the song, but what you are talking about... i refer to as the pocket of the drums themselves..(the bounce/rebound) and keeping them aligned with near perfectly even velocity except certain accents, also coaxing/encouraging the tones out of the drum through placement of hit, how hard/soft, how long/short of a time the stick connects etc... and that level of speed obviously... getting to the point where drummers are basically intuiting the songs and it’s “easy” on them deserves the praise they are getting anyway even if its a little misplaced. Im sure you agree, I just wanted to add that here so no-one reads this thinking that he doesn’t deserve the attention he gets or something silly. Anyway, its good to see this actually written out. I think about exactly what you said almost every drum video.

[@blodknut5595]

Meshuggah is unique in how the progression of each instrument (vocals included) through their songs is a caustic serpentine journey with each instrument falling in and out of the beat. Just when you think they have come together the bass or the the guitar or the vocals falls it into its own rhythm while the drums relentless drives it’s own changes and syncopated beats. One of the most brutal sounds in metal 🤘

[@strudel9706]

8:04 SOCKS!!

[@bigbird9794]

I love watching non-metal people react to metal. What i love about metal is it's complexity, and also that it takes physical stamina to play it. To fight through the lactic acid that builds in your picking hand, and knowing all your bandmates are also dealing with it, but you know if you give up you ruin everything so you fight through it. There's a reason, aside from the sheer power and aggression the music produces that metal players faces often look like their angry or in pain. It's difficult.

[@thetruth4654]

Seems like this was a life altering experience from Ken, getting to experience Meshuggah for the first time. From what i have read Tomas had to pretty much relearn how to play the drums, to so that he could learn this song, so while i`m no drummer, if that is true then this song is very much at odds with what appears to be conventional drumming techniques. And as others have pointed out Tomas Haake also write majority of Meshuggah`s lyrics, and there lyrics especially from Nothing onwards has a poetic quality to it aswell.
