Meshuggah - Sane

[TheSkeletonDrummer]

watching this gave me goosepimples. awesome cover sir! love your facial expressions haha, i would feel the same way if i could master this song. don't stop playing

[ShredopiA]

you're missing a whole ton of notes in the rhythms, ghost notes and such, but good one.

[GuitarsBlood]

8 or 7 strings? im going to buy a Ibanez 7-string

[cataclysmichael]

@GuitarsBlood

This is a 7-string.

[GuitarsBlood]

@cataclysmichael ok, is 7-string enough to meshuggah-style stuff? (:

[GJRM18]

2:44 BEST PART!!!!

[syoun14]

mind sharing your amp+cab+stompbox? models you were using here?

[cataclysmichael]

@syoun14

Big bottom amp and a line 6 4x12 cab I think... I don't really remember. I sold that pod some years ago..

[spielmitmir4]

hey i see the shell behind you is this books or DVDs or music? tell me please ;)

[cataclysmichael]

@spielmitmir4

CDs

[2iBMX]

spot-freakin-on. you're young here have you always been this talented?!?

[cataclysmichael]

@2iBMX

I don't think I would be able to play this the first time I picked up the guitar.. I didn't try though :P

[advaitrao94]

whts ur equipment?

[cataclysmichael]

@advaitrao94

In this video. A guitar and a POD :P

[guitarhero87]

your sound is insane! massive and chunky. does the guitar still has the stock pick up´s (Blaze)?

[cataclysmichael]

@guitarhero87

It had air norton and tonezone.

[chrismahaffey6666]

that makes me want to fucking kill!

[welldorocks]

Hey are you in reg drop c? or are you tuned in few sharps?

[cataclysmichael]

@welldorocks

I think standard tuning with the 7th string a half step down :P

[2krzychu3]

UPLOAD NEW VIDEOS!!!

[cataclysmichael]

@2krzychu3

If you subscribe I'll think about it!!!

[okarma]

well done, sir. that was awesome. how did you figure out the solo? is there a tab online, or did you do it by ear? i want to learn it, so if you can point me in the right direction that would be rad. thanks, and keep posting videos like this.

[cataclysmichael]

@okarma

Thanks. I didn't really figure it out... just played some random half-whole scale stuff basically, hehe.

[prydogga]

ahhh not helping my universe GAS with this video! 5 stars!

[cataclysmichael]

@prydogga

I sold mine :P

[tylthomas]

Awsome! Please do more Meshuggah covers!

Perhaps Stengah or New Millenium Cyanide Christ? :)

[cataclysmichael]

@tylthomas

I´m sure there will be more of Meshuggah! I´ve already done NMCC though.

[tylthomas]

How about Straws Pulled at Random? :)

[cataclysmichael]

@tylthomas

I've been thinking about that one :)

[rockstarr2113]

man you play with real feeling and emotion very nice video and playing and again i feel like I need to go practice thanks haha

[shadowbot09]

Awesome playing. I just bought a UV777BK so i could play Meshuggah and Scar Symmetry song they rock ! xD

[ryanmccrosson]

Man, Meshuggah songs are so damn hard, the time signatures like blow my face off, and I'm an experienced guitarist xP

[ollecarlsson]

what do you mean? this is four four....

[ryanmccrosson]

I wasn't talking about this song in particular. Other Meshuggah songs tend to be set in odd meters.

[P0mt3]

Your face is priceless! You're really getting into it!

This is great playing, man! Wish i could play like that!

[jimmy20i0]

AHAHAHAHHAHA U LOOK LIKE ANDY RICHTER TAKING A MASSINVE DUMP. OLOLOL SH*T!!!!!!!!!

omgz, omgz, LOl. mk BYE.

[fifek]

awesome :D!

[palecapulet]

this shit is too good. take it off the web

[garbed222]

is that ibanez?

[cataclysmichael]

Yes. Universe UV777BK.

[PragueMetal]

In a land far, far, away, where the metal is shunned and misunderstood.

You gotta hear this band Intronaut, too, check em out on Myspace if you havent heard em already.

[cataclysmichael]

Oh, you're from Norway too?! :P

[PragueMetal]

God damn it you're good.

Please have sex with me.

Hahahaha.

Do you like Between The Buried And Me?

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks. Sure! Where do you live? I'll come right over!

I have one album. Alaska. I'ts ok. I love the 4th track on the album :)

[PragueMetal]

also, Colors is between the buried and me's new album, its fucking sweet

[Shaaptoof]

Are you playing -5 chords in the verse(a lowered fifth)?

[cataclysmichael]

It's normal powerchords, but my guitar has standard tuning with the 7th string a half step down.

[Shaaptoof]

That explains it all, thanks!

[tribulation138]

that was just in-sane !

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks =)

[JuicyOverdrive]

ROCK FACE \m/

[skirk2345]

Incredible !!! I'm going to have this ibanez soon !! tell me is this guitar really good ?

Really really good playing !!!

[cataclysmichael]

I sold mine. Replaced it with an old green dot UV7BK instead. I like the old version better :)

[vontetzianos]

That tone is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! what did you use to get that tone apart from the guitar?

[cataclysmichael]

Hey, thanks. I use PODxt in this vid.

[laondatripleoh]

very nice playing man, love the sound of the guitar hehe

[Skamveid2000]

Nice

[davidadam4321]

man tht tone is amazing did u make it urself???? or is it an exsisting patch , loooooovvvveee this song, well played!!!!!

[cataclysmichael]

I found it in the patch library on the sevenstring forum, just modified it a little bit =)

[Rhaabjorn]

cool playing

what do you use to edit your videos?

[cataclysmichael]

Sony Vegas

[CC717]

great one dude keep it up I like how u do that solo

[emgracerx]

sick guitar, are you going to keep playing after law school? if you have this talent don't give it up for some lawyer groupie pussy!

[cataclysmichael]

The guitar is sold :\ Currently looking for a uv7bk (green dots^^)

But law school? Where did you get that from? haha. I will never stop playing...

[Draglion123]

well dont get me wrong, your fucking sick at guitar, but if i saw you walking around Id think you were into pop music or something, lol.

[cataclysmichael]

I know, I know.

[daltontucker]

i hate when people say that im the same way, why do people have to where spikes and all black and stuff to listen to metal?

[Draglion123]

he kind of looks like a prep

[cataclysmichael]

Still I'm more metal than most of the metal-stereotypes (long hair, black clotes, rivets etc..) ;)

[DMEB]

like the vai ibanez bro!!.. keep it up..

[cataclysmichael]

Sold it today actually :\

[LobstersAreMetal]

fucking amazing

p.s. Fucking awesome guitar Steve Vai is god

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks. The universe is for sale :\

[thrasherkid2]

your rythm is good you just need alot of work on your lead, bends, staying in tune and your tone. just practice and try again

[cataclysmichael]

Have you heard the original song?

[elosbarn]

You suck at guitar....

[emericanchaos]

at least be creative with your trolling..

[spoofy1337]

i thought he was in a library at first glance... hahaha

[music2012]

That was great, lucky bastage, you have the UV that I want.

[cluebbers]

i watched part of this video then downloaded the song and when i heard the part at 2:44 on the song i knew u would do some cool video editing with it and i and watched the video again and u didnt fail me. haha nice job

[smcvaney71]

what tuning is this in? its low as balls, or does the band use seven strings bc thats what it sounds like.

[SuperColossal33]

F tuning, extremely low

i wouldnt know where to get strings for it ;), i play a lot in C with .13's and they are fine for that

[mp3guy]

It's in Bb. They only went to F from Nothing onwards

[gaunten]

like mp3guy said, this is in Bb, However, finding strings for F tuning and below isn't that hard, just ask any random dealer for like a 0.70 string or something like that, they should have it...

[GreenMeanie2007]

Like your other videos this metal crap stinks.

[SuperColossal33]

it doesnt get more technical than meshuggah ;), never seen another band where they do looping time signatures, and the drummer plays in 2 time sigs at the same time ;)

[Iccurtep770]

then check out Between the Buried and Me.

[lifebloodaus]

hahahahahahahaha btbam versus meshuggah?

no chance. not even CLOSE.

[tctebsrules]

check necrophagist, or i hate this band extremely m,uch but its pretty technical (and gay) but behold the arctopus goddamn i hate meshugga they get so annoying

[anormalnick]

yeah! you are "the faggot" of this channel video..

What a re you doing here if you dont like it..?¿?¿ can you answer to me?¿?¡

[tctebsrules]

i stumbled upon it

[anormalnick]

Go away and dont fuck us.

[tctebsrules]

[anormalnick]

If you dont think that you are fucking us..honestly, you are retard.

[tctebsrules]

[anormalnick]

[anormalnick]

[tctebsrules]

[tctebsrules]

sorry i dont understand sentences with upside down question marks please take them out its distorting the sentence

[anormalnick]

[tctebsrules]

[lifeaftercave]

[COBHC3000]

nice job..and if your name is refering to the band..its spelled with a K :P Katakalysm

[cataclysmichael]

tnx. it's not refering to the band ;)

[Skjoldvall]

Nice sound man

[church2224]

Sweet!! Nice Ibanez

[SoilentGr33n]

Shit man, although you improvised the solo, you got it down pretty damn good.

[cataclysmichael]

just played something in half-whole scale, easier than learning every single note :P

[ThisSpitefulSnake]

Great job dude!

[Abominodium]

proof that metal is on the inside. \m/

[brutalfistfuck]

nice chug-sound. which preset did you use? share plz

[cataclysmichael]

big bottom, tubescreamer, line 6 4x12

[rottenroth]

So fucking awesome! Dude youre the man! Love your playing like new millenium cyanide christ video so good!

[cataclysmichael]

thanks man. theres more meshuggah coming up... just have to get my 8-string first =)

[kurama14890]

Yeah those new 8 strings were inspired by this band. Sweet Vai guitar too.

[cscarp4503]

inspired? how about they started the trend, and were the first to use them in metal.

[ebon123]

dude you look so -not metal- like..

but you play awesome!

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... I look like a nice guy I guess... on the outside! MUAHAHAHA! :P

[jacksonrox]

haha good for you, i just bought a 5150 so i need to work up some cash

[jacksonrox]

are you just really spoiled or what? how do you get that gear

[cataclysmichael]

I buy it =)

[F990]

fuck yes one of meshuggahs best songs

SOOOOOOO MUCH HARDER ON DRUMS DAWG

[AgentGustavo]

I can't wait for that day that rational gaze, nebulous or stengah will be up, if that ever happen, this sane one is insane

what's the video program you use? my windows move maker is messed up

[cataclysmichael]

there will be a couple of 8-string songs... but I don´t know which ones yet :)

I use sony vegas 6.0

[alk4h0l1k]

is it 8 string tuned , or do you use pedal or is this in an A tuning?

[cataclysmichael]

the original is on a 7-string tuned a half step down. I just tuned the 7th down and had the rest in standard...

[kvazz]

du er genial... starte meshuggah-coverband? xD =P

[cataclysmichael]

vel, det kan vel diskuteres :P Vil heller starte et eget band... men aknskje litt meshuggah inspirert? hihi..

[kvazz]

deal =P jeg bare må få fingrene mine opp på et litt høyere rytmisk nivå først xD (ute av trening, og plekter er for noobs(på bass))

[cataclysmichael]

problemet ligger vel mer i å finne en brukbar trommis som ikke allerede har 4-5 band :P evt. en vokkis som kan skrike skikkelig ;)

[cataclysmichael]

have you bought the metal pack?

[adil2552]

Have you tried the new POD X3? The packs are additional they come with the unit and it includes more effects than the XT.

[cataclysmichael]

ah... ok. I just bought the pod xt pro, so I dont think i´ll buy the new one, pretty happy with the one I got now anyway :)

[adil2552]

Yeah, they were both released within a few months of each other.

[halberkstresser]

i have that guitar - fucking rocks

[philkilla666]

haha, nice work.

The overdubs were cool.

[Shiemtek]

Wow. At 1:00 you looked at the camera and had this "This is so easy, I'm going to eat your face" kind of look.

Great job :D.

[cataclysmichael]

hahaha... I think it was more "shitshitshit, dont fuck up, dont fuck up" :P

[Dimitrije]

awesome, man, keep rolling, MESHUGGAH RULE

[dreckfirmada]

hi dude

where u from?

ure not interested to create a band?

;-)

im from germany, palying a 7 string either. used to make mathematics as well.

[cataclysmichael]

Hey. Im from Norway. A band would be cool, but the distance is a bit to long? :P

[stratogustav]

OK dude, you totally need to tell me what's the name of each of those three boxes that you have on top of your Marshalls amp, I'm sure that has a lot to do with the great sound you are getting and if you use anything else besides that, please let me know. I don't want to spend money on the wrong things, I like what you got.

[cataclysmichael]

I only use the red box at the top. PODxt pro. its pretty cheap to, if you dont go with the pro version.

[phusion974]

thats fucking sick man!!!! good job thats fucking awsome!!

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... thanks.

[revolutionofcards]

holy shit dude is that the ibanez steve vai universe those are like 2400$CANADIAN

[cataclysmichael]

I bought it used ;)

[naughty00e]

The guitar sound is good. how do you record guitar onto youtube like this? I have a guitar, effects, amp, a mini belt amp, and some other stuff.

[cataclysmichael]

guitar -> pod -> pc

[DreamstateEmergency]

are you using any preamp to warm the pods sound? nice tone sound very tight.

[cataclysmichael]

guitar -> pod -> soundcard of my computer

thats my setup... pretty simple :P

[CtpAids]

Kid... You are sick.

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... thanks? :P

[Mudkipzlolwut]

pwn, one of my favorite songs

[akvecchio]

This tabs are nothing like the real way to play this song.....you sucks

[cataclysmichael]

I play it my way... if you dont like it, dont watch it ;)

[akvecchio]

sorry about my comment,too much shit in to it....meshuggah rules, its nice to see an american listen meshuggah.keep it that way.

[cataclysmichael]

I dont care about that :P and Im not an american :P

[akvecchio]

jajajajja.........not an american?....better. Bye

[cataclysmichael]

do I look fat? haha :P

[moohalaa]

excellent work as ever mikajl!

keep up the good work, 5 stars

[mvelders]

you f***ing ROCK DUDE!!!

[schwarg]

lol no offense or anything, but you don't look like the kind of person who would cover a meshuggah song

[cataclysmichael]

haha... I know. Just because I listen to heavier music than most people doesnt mean I have to have long black hair and black clotes. I did have long black hair before though :P I just dont see the point anymore...

[schectersmiles919]

Hey man, nice tone. I have a line 6 pod xt live and am in need of some quality metal tones. If you could tell me what amp model and effects you use that would be awsome. Any good tone you have. Not just this vid. thanks man, good video.

[cataclysmichael]

I just went to the line6 website and downloaded a bunch of presets, and tryed them out... found one I thought was nice and tweaked it a little bit ;)

[schectersmiles919]

My comp was having trouble downloading the tones.....would you be able to give amp/stompbox etc...:)

[cataclysmichael]

ask my friend 'flesh19no' ... he dont want me to give "the sound" away :P

[schectersmiles919]

lol, fair enough

[cataclysmichael]

really, he actually check my comments, and let me know everytime I try to give it away... haha :P

[schectersmiles919]

lame

rofl. whatevers.....Unless were to send me it as a message and not a comment.....hmmmmmmmmm........

[PsychoAlbedo]

Goddamn! I never have cared about these videos where people play metal songs with different instruments but fuck! This is the closest sound on Sane itself, maybe you should become Fredrik Thordenthals apprentice :D

[motabaco]

Dude.. that was awesome.. that tone is freakin sick as hell man..

yah I laike sanes tone alittle better by the way wasnt nothing originally done on down tuned 7 strings and thats why they rerecorded nothing or was it just the nevborns sound cau
