Meshuggah - I

[ryonafan]

boooring... 

[toofattocare77]

@ryonafan no u



[1Heretic]

i dont care at all if Meshuggah helped metal or not, whats important is that Meshuggah is a really great band!!!

[poopooer]

I just started listening to this band a couple days ago and I couldn't be more satisfied

[DreamTheaterFan78]

Too short!

[Youcantkillthemetalx]

Man i thought that intro would never end..

[arcanehater]

This band should play more than two notes, this shit gives metal a bad rep.

[fredmachine]

@arcanehater They actually do play more than two notes from time to time. 'I' is a very experimental release. Listen to 'ObZen', it's way more accessible and 'conventional'.

Well, as conventional as Meshuggah can be, of course.

[topgrrl1]

@arcanehater says the FAGGOT that watches raywilliamjohnson and smosh... your taste is shit and your opinion is nothing.

[SummoningACryptid]

@arcanehater But they only need two notes

[SummoningACryptid]

@arcanehater But they only need two notes

[EndOfWill]

@arcanehater Dude this band gives metal its rep.

They were put in the top 10 most important hard and heavy bands of all time,

and ranked the #1 most important band in metal.

Without Meshuggah, most of the modern metal bands would not exist.

Gtfo with your stupidity and ignorance.

[Afghamistam]

@arcanehater You're supposed to be listening to the rhythm, [abusive term].

[bom2]

@arcanehater shut your mouth.

[1Heretic]

@arcanehater haha all i can say to you is this > 5:40 (maybe more than a million notes)

[AdamTheGuitarHero]

@arcanehater It actually gives metal a good rep, just because of how complex the patterns are. But I agree, play more than 2 notes Meshuggah :)

[NiTuS14]

I was only able to keep the rythm for the first 15 seconds.

[killyou45]

polys for the win

[randompinc7]

Going to see them live in London in April, I'd love to hear them play this song in its entirety one day...

[RevolucionMax]

PERFECTO BRUTAL.VERDADERA MAQUINA DE MATAR SONIDOS ! esta muy bueno este tema,es uno de los mejores temas preparados,armados ,organizados .excelente.este tema es parecido a la 39 MAFIA CUBANA musica agreesiva autista from argentinautarquia.

[robnewland]

Is that a solo, or just my ears malfunctioning? Mental.

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

How does he play double bass like that!

[TheJakeGames]

Yes they do. This is weak music and tjede sorry motherfuckers lnow it. Djent is pussy

[partsi66dude]

@TheJakeGames if you want melody, go listen osme in flames and stuff like that

[killyou45]

@partsi66dude in flames is pop rock now haha

[partsi66dude]

@killyou45 yea :D

[rscricca]

calling meshuggah "djent" is like calling steppenwolf "heavy metal" - they coined the term and were a huge influence on the styles they helped create, but still are very different from the 1st true bands of the styles. for example, steppenwolf is very different from the styles of deep purple and led zeppelin (black sabbath is different, with tony iommi). meshuggah is very different from periphery and AAL. but, there wouldnt be deep purple/led zep w/o steppenwolf, and no bulb/aal w/o meshuggah.

[PurpleSixAndNine]

Beginning reminds me of Decapitated - Homo Sum

[RavensOfMyFuneral]

maddness

[SteeledOwl]

Polyrhythms or polymetrics? Anyone have any insight?

[TheJakeGames]

Where the fuck is the melody?? I'm all about metal, but I don't get the draw to these guys. Quarter of the song before a hint of melody. Wtf?

[8stringedBeast]

@TheJakeGames It's thrash in it's rawest form, quitcher bitchen.

[Thatmusictool]

@TheJakeGames Meshuggah is all about rhythm and percussive waves.

If you want a lot of melody try old In Flames hahaha

[partsi66dude]

@TheJakeGames metal songs dont need melodies to sound good

[Afghamistam]

@TheJakeGames I don't understand why people seem to be proud to make comments like this. Lady Gaga and Nickelback provide you plenty of melody. Seek them out. This song is obviously all about rhythm. There are entire academic essays dedicated to exploring this band's use of rhythm...

[dillaDOOM5]

5:40 - 7:08 facemelting

[fearfactorymeshuggah]

unfortunaly the second part is erased by nuclear blast europe

[Deliverance02x]

5:38 sounds like my dryer when it malfunctions.

[bucko60]

[xPLEASANCEx]

Fuckin HUGE djent. 5 mins

[MASSRCOR]

@xPLEASANCEx meshuggah isn't djent...

[Cofo71]

@MASSRCOR Meshuggah started djent...

[MASSRCOR]

@Cofo71 bullshit... "djent" is just people trying to imitate meshuggah's iconic guitar tone and style... How the fuck can meshuggah be "djent" when they predate "djent"...

[TheSteff616]

@MASSRCOR Very true.

[bovenkoker]

OMG, those skyrim knee jokes are everywhere!

[TheGUnit101]

i wondered you long that intro would go on for :L

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

How can someone not think this is awesome?

[TheXenogod]

Now i know where decapitated took the riff for homo sum

[lokifea05]

6:48 FOR THE FUCKING WIN

[harmonykrieg]

booo. second part has been taken off.

[Fourmalletz]

I used to be able to play "I" live, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[extheobzen]

Another destroyed head...THANKS YOU FUCKERS!!!

I hate meshuggah...i hate the obzen record!...Haake is not a god!! ...Haake dont push my head agains my keyboardasildalsinca;sjncihewf­lbyewkhabsdnalscjkaldjvblhfbqu­ewxnasl;jcbaslvhk lfquowdqh;osxja;slkcvhnasof

[Miniboulet1994]

When i hear this song I just wanna took an axe and kill everybody I meet...

[BootyBot]

@Miniboulet1994 LOL

[Brixwhiz]

I used to like Justin Beiber, then I took a Meshuggah to the ears.

[Alan919]

@Brixwhiz fuck you! never nominate that shit in a meshuggah video

[CHRISFEHN666]

after the scream, do the count of ''puns'', when is about 111 puns, sounds: pun,pun,pun : III

[H75119847]

1:32 DA FUCK

[Premoguys]

I don't give a fuck if the track was recorded on random. The lyrics were not random. Go and copy/paste to your computer the lyrics and after reading them along with the song a few times, try to translate them in your own language.

Tomas Haake is a fucking genius.

[Blitzzkreigg]

around 8:07 i though the picture was spinning for a second xD

[Whodoyouthinkiam68]

@Blitzzkreigg Yeah, me too. Creepy !

[Gyrosquatch]

"No one knows how I goes" - Tomas Haake

:)

[vaxkors95]

I love Mesuggah guitar solos...

[ss4sithlord]

@vaxkors95 Thordendal is amazing :)

[ichibanhahn]

this song just gets more insane the longer into it you listen hahahaha that's why it's so awesome

[nubnubnubbin]

@leftwithgregWTF good fucking shit friend

[jakinov]

oh I guess sparr0w1001 beat me to it

[jakinov]

I think people say math because the timing is complex.... relax guys lol

[0ook]

moi j'aime bien.. :]

[Makearight139]

5:39

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

[diabl2master]

Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake said of the EP: "That whole track was written and recorded just on random. Me and Fredrik would just jam on something, and when we found something that was kind of cool, he would walk into the control room. I would just record drums and it wasn’t a set pattern, I would just kind of stray away from the pattern, but just keep going in that vibe. Then we had to chart everything and go bar by bar to record the guitars afterwards, because it’s all just random."

[f14birdy]

I feel ashamed that I have been a meshuggah fan for 3 years and haven't listened to this song. I really don't know why it isn't more popular. This could easily be my favorite by them... may take a few more listens.

[Winddrum]

I don't have to think, concentrate or speculate in rhythmic patterns to enjoy this, it comes quite natural to me. THALL

[H75119847]

this shit is insane

[BuiikiKaesu69]

What the fucking fuck is the snare doing at 5:39

[Stepstoneau]

@BuiikiKaesu69 isn't it fucking awesome



[Redtape88]

@BuiikiKaesu69 in northern sweden it's called relaxing i think

[passer101010]

@BuiikiKaesu69 Im sitting here trying to figure that out myself. Im no drummer nor do i have more than a basic understanding of rhythm but it sounds like four beats of the china or crash are subdivided into 12 triplet bass notes. To the untrained musical mind (ME) it sounds like the snare is playing some type of 3's over 2's sounding rhythm. 3 snares for every two chinas??!?! someone help!!!

[Stepstoneau]

I can follow this song without counting the ryths, easy.

[thedrummererik99]

@Stepstoneau wow your hardcore

[Stepstoneau]

@thedrummererik99 with a pointless comment like yours, we could statistically assume you have a small dick, congratulations for showing the world.

[NipplesMagee]

Damn, the intro is a mindfuck

[rythmicpulses1]

@AlexXxtestify

Haake never played on I, Tomas said the entire song was just cut and paste over Superior Drummer, so no one knows how to play it anymore, Marten also said that the riffs were all just a jumble of bits and pieces that they had to fit together to make it all work, I is just an experimental song that wasn't released on Nuclear Blast, it was released on Fractured Transmitter, it wasn't even that hyped up when they released it.

[austinthefreak]

iTunes JUST released this for download... It's about time. They're what, like 7 years late? So many dumbasses think that it's new material too...

[elpanica]

"I" Officially coming out tomorrow. Yes!!!

[Colbertisgod66]

I've looked far, and I've looked wide, but nobody can out Tomas Haake but Tomas Haake.

[bigpowerfulpeople]

just saw an interview where they admit they will not ever be able to play this one live. powerful tune, man.

[MetalReigns2]

@elpanica No it isnt, that wasnt even clever.

[vaxkors95]

@elpanica no...

[BootyBot]

@elpanica genius

[killyou176]

im trying to get the full 21 sec scream but i only have a 12 sec scream

[AllyMk360]

Pure orgasmic noise! :)

[Blitzprogger]

love the part from 1:33 to 1:54 :D

[Marcko98]

@Blitzprogger Of fuck i gone near damn shit my britches!

[Octavarium666xyz]

@AlisonChaynes I am not on high horse and I am not feeling superior to those who don't know meshuggah or don't listen them, when I was writing the comment you are replying on I was upset because of tons of people saying that meshuggah sux, and A7X are better etc. .. Honestly I don't force anyone to listen to this. I like Pink Floyd, Dream Theater or even Depeche Mode aswell as Meshuggah, Cynic etc. If someone doesn't like Meshuggah he should not be commenting these videos in negative way...

[bishopbyers]

One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. Maybe in the top three!! So hard to choose...

[Guitarmazdur]

this is incredible.

[lkgurmer]

This song is just Haake jamming, then Thordendal jamming to the recorded jam of Haake and the bass added later on.

[danieIdanieItoshtosh]

@lkgurmer Haake didn't jam, it's programmed. Essentially it's just Fredrik jammin' mostly. :]

[AlexXxtestify]

@danieIdanieItoshtosh you are wrong haake played on everything except for catch 33

[1122stardust]

How do you compose this piece of art??? How does a musician remember everything about it?? So detailed, so different. Amazing....

[ghosttown57]

killer drums

[faselblaDer3te]

7:47 creepy forsaken amusement park, anyone?

[Guitarmazdur]

@faselblaDer3te 8:40 amusement park explodes randomly

[TheOneAfro1]

I WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS SO BAD BUT MY FEEBLE MIND CANT COMPREHEND ALL THE RHYTHMS. HELP ME

[Tool78Maynard]

@TheOneAfro1 Go listen to nickelback

[Dhieen]

At 6:40 we can easily ear that Tomas is masturbating himself because of the great sound of his drum!

[Cunt42069]

Fuck all the bullshit arguing over who's cock is bigger. It's obvious I'm the one with the biggest dick. Now, shut up and jam to this beautiful melody we like to call "Meshuggah." =]

[BenjaminKuruga]

@Cunt42069 Thats factually incorrect, Thomas Haake obviously has the most well proportioned penis here.

[MamadSatan]

2. GOD

1. MESHUGGAH

[dbw712]

i have to take a shit, now this better be the top comment when i get back

[Muze42]

lol these polyrhythms aren't even that complicated, listen to real music!

[Vegichi3]

@Muze42 amateur trolling... get a grip

[yokiddingme]

@Muze42 like what

[Djroshi01]

@Muze42 Minimalism is a real genre. Besides this EP was made for fun. they don't take themselves seriously half the time. It's the fact that it's a song that cannot be performed live which gives it it's fanbase. It's like with the As I Lay dying phase we all went through with Guitar Hero. It's hard as hell to play. Let alone try to remember.

[Vegichi3]

love how the "next part" link disappears at the only time it's required

[Octavarium666xyz]

Awww thats so nice guys you've made my comment top rated :D

[Bangheadda]

Damn this band is totally unique! The craziest Metal Stuff i know. Unique, Totally Crazy but genious though!

I kicks butt :)

[DeadlyLizard98]

Im only here cuz i was told that the shangra-la game over song sounds like it was made by these people

[bronteburger196]

MY BRAIN IS MELTING WITH THE BRUTAL WRATH OF JENS KIDMAN!!!

[TheEnvyduck]

my brain is loving this, but my ears are hating it.

BUT MY EARS ARE DAMN WRONG!

[kalli199]

@TheEnvyduck for me its the complete opposite, haha :P

[TFTimotheus]

This, Periphery, and Animals as Leaders is freaking space music I swear.

[Hybridhor]

Meshuggah are like crack for me. Small doses at first, now I have been on a straight Meshuggah diet for 3 months. They are a paradigm shift in progressive metal.

[Metathronos]

A snail along a straight razor-dividing itself through motion

[DanteLeblanc]

This EP felt like three hours on a 2C-E/Mescaline trip. This song was very wierd but intense.

[Niamorg1007]

I'm certainly not saying that only people that have bad taste or that are too simple minded dislike Meshuggah, but I truly think that everyone who loves Meshuggah has to be quite intelligent and open-minded. I'm progressively getting into their music, but it's still a bit hard for me to listen to all their albums repeatedly, and I respect alot Meshuggah fans for being able to listen to such complex and great music. Hopefully I'll become a true fan soon.

[22fret]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­h!!! ;-) I always wondered how Kidman's voice could bear this...

[Lad0Barn0vi]

 I like the part where is no breakdown -_-

[BenjaminKuruga]

@Lad0Barn0vi The whole album is basically a breakdown.

[G27dude]

@Lad0Barn0vi If you call that a breakdown, you need to open your ears. "Breakdowns" are fairly simple rhythmic breaks in modern metal to sound "brutal". This is on a much higher level. Rhythms run in long, unconventional spans, and it actually takes some time to fully understand a single riff, where it repeats, etc. 3:33 for example. That's some crazy shit. haha

[mrf1098]

DJENT!!!

[marzit1000]

meshuggah is the only good excuse to shit your pants!

[jonesy97]

@T0H0E0G0A0M0E Yeah, he's got a part II video, as well. I think the whole thing is 21 minutes long, or so my ipod says.

[rayodeluzazul]

so sick xD

[faselblaDer3te]

If someone abducted me, tied me to a chair, gave me drugs and made me listen to this, I think I'd actually be grateful... XD

[IcoTheBest]

0.00 --> 1.33 : The most mindfucking intro ever.

[HALEMAIDEN]

[Octavarium666xyz]

When I first heard BLEED i was like "What the fuck is this, it's still the same" but then when u realy listen to it (started listening to Periphery,TesseracT etc.) It's fucking interesting and mind blowing ... just some ppl are not able to notice those polyrythms, and they need solos in song ... and they need simple music for their simple minds .. very well .. but then DO not try to up set Meshu fans ...

[wickedhyperstyler]

@Octavarium666xyz The same goes for jazz.

[x360rampagex]

@Octavarium666xyz So true, I'm not much of a fan of Meshuggagh, but instrumentally, they are amazing. Amazing musicians. Even now, listening to this, for the first min I was in amazed just listening to what to some might seem to be the same thing for a minute.

[on3n1ght3r666]

@Octavarium666xyz polyrythms for the fuckin win.

[jakeburchard]

@Octavarium666xyz This is the reason I hate most of the progressive metal scene: the overly-pretentious fan-base. Music has absolutely NOTHING to do with intelligence or one's ability to "notice" polyrythms. Music is a completely subjective thing based on taste only. There are plenty of people, musicians and non-musicians included, that can understand and appreciate polyrythms but choose not to listen to them simply because they don't enjoy the music. It doesn't mean they're "simple minded".

[Octavarium666xyz]

@jakeburchard Okay, reading tons of comments that Meshuggah has simple songs to play I was really upset so I wrote that ...My point is that music like meshuggah has ins't for everyone and if ppl don't like their music then simply they shouldn't visit these videos ... In my view bands like A7X, LP and all those bands are just boring.... because every damn song is still the same rhythmicaly speaking ... melody can be different but that's all

[jakeburchard]

[Onishiro]

@jakeburchard Wrong. There's good music and talented musicians. Then there's shit.

Meshuggah exceeds the former.

[Ooger77]

@jakeburchard Wrong. Period.

[D92Torre]

@jakeburchard AMEN! 

[TheSolidspruce84]

@jakeburchard A simple thumbs up just isn't enough for this comment. I really stay away from the comments on these pages due to all the idiocy. I really get sick of all the sub genres that are created here. For example "math metal"? Wtf is that shit? It's not like these guys are breaking down the periodic fucking table when they hit the studio or something. They just make great music and all these nerds look way too far into it.

[f14birdy]

@TheSolidspruce84 It doesn't really take that much looking into. Math rock has been around since the 80s. It only makes since that math metal exists.

[TheSolidspruce84]

@f14birdy The odd time signatures have absolutely nothing to do with math you fucking nerd. They are playing instruments not solving equations. There is literally nothing with math going on here. It's not like they go into the the studio and are like "hey, let's make the pythagorean theory a song". It's metal. Cut and dry and you are retarded.

[sparr0w1001]

@TheSolidspruce84 The name math metal doesn't literally mean the music has anything to do with math. The term is just used to describe the rhythmic complexity.

[f14birdy]

@TheSolidspruce84 well any time signature has something to do with math. Simple math but still math. Anyways your argument is invalid as the genre of rock is not about small stones. Your logic is invalid.

[TheSolidspruce84]

@f14birdy Ok dumbass, you basically just said that all music is math music due to time signatures. I am not sure how stupid you sound based on your "logic". The music they play requires them to be able to multi task together not calculus.

[f14birdy]

@TheSolidspruce84 No, I merely explained that you're over reacting to something as trivial as the name of a genre. A genre's name is not some exact science... just a name. Were you raped by your math teacher at one point?

[nubnubnubbin]

@TheSolidspruce84 actually, i've written polyrhythms and shit before, and it does have a lot to do with math. like not straight up complicated math, but the precursors of the methods. its hard to explain. actually write some good shit and youll understand

[QuestyonMark]

@jakeburchard Ehh, sure, it's not a measure of intelligence. But music DOES involve paying attention to things; if you don't do that, you might not enjoy it as much as you could. "Taste" is just the initial reaction; I enjoy a lot of music now that I didn't like right away. Musical taste can evolve.

What Octavarium seemed to be arguing against was that some people (trolls) weren't just "not enjoying" it and were actively insulting the musicianship involved. What's wrong with that?

[jakeburchard]

@QuestyonMark I agree, this music is definitely more technically involved than mainstream pop stuff and requires closer listening to get all the layers. No one is going to argue that though. What is subjective is whether or not more layers and more complexity actually appeals to you. That's the point I was trying to make with Octavarium: saying that everyone who doesn't like this music can't understand the polyrhythms is a gross generalization and simply unfair. Some people just don't like it.

@jakeburchard He's got a point though. Most of todays main-stream music is so popular because it's easy to listen t
