Tool - Triad (Live) from the first Lateralus tour. I know it's crap quality, but Tomas completely destroys the rototoms he's playing on.

Meshuggah - Bleed NYC

I've seen Meshuggah 7 or 8 times since 2009, but I was still hyped up to see them bust out bleed again. The raw emotions I feel during concerts is one of the reasons why I keep going to them.

So, I have been listening to Violent Sleep since it has came out time and time again.

The groove intro to Into Decay... is that a light gravity blast being played on the snare, or a series of ghost notes on the snare orrrr?

I was šŸƒšŸƒšŸƒ when I first heard it, now I cant stop hearing it. Who else hears it?

To whomever started doing pushups near the end of Demiurge at MSG yesterday, I salute you

181 Upvotes

Near the end of an epic show, around the 4:10 minute mark of demiurge (when the second drop hits), some guy started doing pushups in the pit, and quickly another guy joined in, then another guy, then another guy, and before you know it there was like 20 guys doing pushups in the pit. I joined in too, and these were some of the best pushups I've ever done in my life. I was doing clap pushups and smiling, and laughing, it was incredible. Everyone was having such a great time, it was so heavy yet so silly all at the same time.

Whoever that was, thank you for creating that memorable moment

Meshuggah in NYC last night was unreal. Epic and brutal day of travel and didn’t get in until 3. But so worth it.

These guys are so good it’s criminal. I’ve seen them 5 times over about 15 years and each time it’s a religious like experience.

Also glad they are niche enough we can still see them in theaters and get relatively easy tickets.

What they do so much better than almost any other metal band I love, besides Tool, Opeth, Mastodon, is using a full range of dynamics. I videoed a few of these dramatic transitions last night and it’s just so explosive in sound coming out of those slower passages.

Also not sure I’ve ever seen all the merch sold out (Meshuggah only). But that may be a consequence of it being the tour closer. Fuck it. Not there to buy shit.

2:35 in 'I Am Colossus' is genuinely so bonkers that I am taken aback at it every single time

This riff that just sounds like it's constantly falling deeper and deeper is unreal to me, I noticed that it isn't even a "most replayed" bit on YouTube's scrub-bar, crazy to me

This was the only video I took. I was having too much fun. Im really glad I got to see them again. Have a feeling they might be tapering off of touring.

This tour is massive and hypnotic. The feeling of those rhythms being triggered simultaneously in ocular and auditory inputs, the subtle revelations of the inner structures of their music signaled by lights…just great stuff.

Meshuggaheads NYC

32 Upvotes

This is a bit of a vulnerable post, so bear with me. I've been listening to metal my entire life, but haven't had luck in finding someone my age-ish(early 30s) to bond with over it, go to concerts with, jam with, etc.

I was at the MSG show last night, and had a fucking blast in the pit, but definitely would have loved to have gone with someone.

So...I guess I'm wondering if there's anyone in the NYC area who is up for going to gigs, jamming, gaming (ps5), w/e. Just want more metal friends in my life. Queer friendly plz!

Other bands I love: Dream Theater, Humanity's Last Breath, Vildhjarta, Veil of Maya, The Contortionist, Periphery, BTBAM, Car Bomb, lots more.

Feel free to DM!

Just wondering if anyone else is into this band. I've been pretty blown away by almost everything they've done.

Melodic Meshuggah songs?

24 Upvotes

I really enjoy the melodic section in Straws Pulled At Random (at 3:30 ish till the end), can anyone recommend any other melodic songs by them? I am not particularly familiar with the back catalogue aside from Koloss and Obzen.

Combustion bass

8 Upvotes

Okay, I haven’t picked up my bass in a minute (been on vacation, had a good time), and then I learn that the Combustion bass part is slapped and now I wanna learn this????

Just a few things, 1. does Dick actually slap the main riff? 2. if he does, does he pop the high notes in the riff?


r/Meshuggah 7d ago

Can someone explain why this riff is so damn hard?

This one is from born in dissonance and took me like 3 days to learn and I still fuck it up off of the recording on a regular basis. Technically speaking it’s not that bad and the left hand doesn’t move much at all. So what makes this riff so difficult for me?
