A PowerPoint I made for a final presentation in a class - I had 4 minutes to argue for the best rock song ever.

  • I hate to break it to you, because I respect you for the amount of work you put in this project (and it looks very nice), but Meshuggah take it far less seriously as you might think. They have stated that they don't write any of their work out. It's much more based on feel than math. For example, Marten comes up with a few riffs, Tomas comes up with a matching drumbeat (which coincidentally may be polyrhythmic), and they add extra notes if their groove doesn't match within a 8/16/32/64 schedule.

  • Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you. I've seen as many interviews as you have. I didn't mean to imply that they did all this shit consciously. I doubt that they're even aware of some of the really obscure things I pointed out here. It's true that they just feel this shit out, which makes it all the more amazing. They have incredible intuition! MESHUGGAHHH

  • To anyone watching this I suggest adding: &fmt=18

    to the end of the URL to watch it with better quality. Also this video is great, It would have taken me like a year to understand the drums.

  • WOW! thank for the tip, man. that does make this 50 times more intelligible.

  • Don't let anybody tell you anything negative about this post. Meshuggah would be proud and thank god some younger folk know some decent fucking music. This post is bad ass!

  • What's the hardest time signature? "4/4." <---Jens Kidman

  • You would get an A if I was teaching, just for playing meshuggah, also for the power point.

  • FUCKING LOVE THIS

  • Hello. Is it possible to get .ppt or just better video quality? like, re-record it in HD. It's marvellous presentation, i just want to have it in better quality. Thank you

  • It seemed Like a good explanation, but i still didnt get it! could you do one like for dummies? that would be awesome!

  • Possibly the best 4 min Powerpoint presentation ever!

  • @theSyringe We do agree!  I enjoy expanding a conversation!

  • @jermakki nope, a polymeter is correct

  • How long does it take to finish analysing this song??
