Meshuggah - Attacked By A Shark (live)

[MarlBoro1240]

OMFG))

[TheNextJasonVorhees]

the only meshuggah song i ever liked! too bad its just a cover song

[martianlars]

ahhh, the SIMPLE pleasures in life ...

[DenkaDe]

hahaha

[kaakatin]

This is pretty damn good.

[fullmetalmc]

they should do more laid back songs all of their music is condescending and esoteric

[berto1337]

@fullmetalmc ooooooh big words :3

[123121s1]

@fullmetalmc if music could be condescending, surely laid back tracks would be the ones that are.

still, it's fun to hear songs like this one and jag klarar inte av sprit

[Transgression92]

not only a complex sounds great by them.

[xxsectumsempraxx]

attacked. By. A. SHAAARKKKK! xD

[MrStodern]

You know your musical tastes are odd when a standard-sounding rock tune played by one of your favorite bands can only be described as "weird".

Fredrik really sounded like he wanted to veer off into the cosmos during his solo, but somehow managed to avoid it.

[ffdff]

@MrStodern "You know your musical tastes are odd when a standard-sounding rock tune played by one of your favorite bands can only be described as "weird"." - i really wonder what you were trying to say, because this just makes no sense.

[NoaOno]

@ffdff After reading his comment like 10 times I got what he meant :D He means your musical tastes is odd cause you like a band that makes a normal song sound weird. Took me 3 minutes to formulate that sentence haha.

[ffdff]

@NoaOno yeah i also got it - not sure if i understood it the same way before already...anyways, it's still pretty much bullshit to me.

[NoaOno]

@ffdff Yeah but it's pretty much a joke :)

[ffdff]

@NoaOno Yeah you're pretty much right....meh, hehe.

[NoaOno]

@ffdff :D By the way, is this THEIR song.? Cover..?

!?!@#¤%

Cause there's no musical results when I search attacked by a shark, there should be if this was a real song, I mean

[zarucarsha]

@NoaOno Just google "Meshuggah attacked by a shark" and click the first result.  They recorded a version of this song for a Swedish compilation album of Swedish bands doing covers of other groups. Being the funny guys they are, Meshuggah decided to record a cover of a very obscure band rather than some well-known group, just "for teh lulz."

[skezness]

@NoaOno it's a cover of a band called whimzy

[needlearmor]

what a badass riff :D i love this song

[GodofDrums666]

this proves that whether they are playing complex polyrhythms or normal 4/4 beats, everything they write is awesome in some form or another

[thavador]

This is Thomas' hair playing drums while he is writing new tracks.

[theSyringe]

@thavador Haha :)

[Instrumentofgaia]

"ATTACK BY A SHAAAARK!!!!" instead of "INSIDE WHATS WITHIN BEHIND". too simplistic for them. lol

[U2SaxFan]

Sounds werid heaing Meshuggah playing something that sounds like "normal" metal, at the same time it's great. So, basically, this is weird and awesome at the same timr.

[MetallicAtack]

It's like Haake does some weird karate to play..

[zing713amw]

lol

[MegaSchmidty545]

ATTACKED BY A SHARK!!! FUCK YEAH!

[CarterUSAF]

judging by the band's intellect and the simplistic song, I would say that they produced this song around one minute before actually playing it live. They dish this shit out for breakfast, while simultaneously beating up scene kids

[pepekong]

I like how he said "Attacked by a SHAAARRRK"

[emilowich]

Haha ... when they play this, they just sound like a very mediocre band.

[pe11e]

yeah, from "Umeå Open" (lokal festival) like 1996 I think.

[SonicYouth420]

I think I laughed throughout this entire song, fucking win

[returnNull]

LMAO @ the pentatonic Fred solo! Fred is the man.

[vonzippa12]

wtf is this.

[gleegin]

@vonzippa12

It's pure awesomeness that's what it is... don't question me

[schandorff666]

best answer ever.!

[hellonieman]

i literally busted out laughing when the solo started. i never thought i'd hear fredrik play something like that \:|

[dakoide]

Meshuggah recorded a song called Attacked By A Shark it's a song from a band thats called Whimzy, from a city nearby Stockholm. They did is as some kind of joke. They were asked by a guy to do a compilation-album with a lot of Swedish bands like Entombed with the theme: new Swedish metalbands covers old Swedish metalbands (Power From The North Sweden Rocks The World EDS).

[8stringerr]

is fred doing the lead?

[jayakishore1234]

thomas haake can play this while eating a pizza....he would be like man this is so easy :-D

[theSyringe]

Haha true man. And Tomas playing a normal rock beat also sounds so much better than ordinary rock drummers :)

[8stringerr]

@jayakishore1234 actaully tomas would say "this is good pizza"

[Lawlson21]

BAHAHAHA!

This is excellent. These are the goofiest bastards I've ever seen. I love them. True genius musicians that humble themselves with a presence humor.

[dreamopeth]

I would give my left ball to see this

[NetherNoTwisting]

L.O.L i would give my life to see Meshuggah play this long. Haake playing like that, ROFLMAO !

[underscoreisnotvalid]

wow its so weird hearing meshuggah playing something regular with no polymetric phrasing, crazy!

its like the equivalent of hearing ac/dc do a cover of in death is death or something, weird :)

[MagicalJohnny]

@underscoreisnotvalid there's just a problem, ac dc can't play meshuggah

[kurukq]

@underscoreisnotvalid too bad ac/dc would never be able to do it in a million years, not to say they arent awesome, but you know..

[bobby666666]

From the compilation "Power from the North: Sweden Rocks the World".

[NeuroHead]

"Yeah, we recorded a song called Attacked By A Shark. It from a band thats called Whimzy, from a city nearby Stockholm. We did is as some kind of joke. We were asked by a guy to do a compilation-album with a lot of Swedish bands like Entombed with the theme: new Swedish metalbands covers old Swedish metalbands (Power From The North Sweden Rocks The World ). And everybody has bands like Candlemass, Europe, so we thought were gonna dig a little more deeper in the underground. "

[NeuroHead]

wtf! Haake playing a regular beat and Fredrik doing a rock n roll solo!

this MAY be from their goodbye concert when they moved from hometown Umeå to Stockholm . I could be totaly wrong but this is the only time i have heard/read of that they have played covers . They entered the stage in black suits and Jens said "we are gonna play a cover by a stockholm band" And they play Abbas "S.O.S" lol!! .

This is 100% true .

I read about this in an old article .

Not sure about this track tho

[Catch33]

lol, sounds like a decent recording; any more??

[cyanidechrist]

It's a cover song of a band named Whimzy

[specialDFX]

lol wtf

this wins hard

[Riven1989]

It sounds more like thrash or even heavy metal than Meshuggah

[hellonieman]

catchy lol. where'd you find this?
