He's wearing Scion socks. They don't make 'em anymore. He has all remaining pairs in the world. We're all outta luck. -The Wife.

The guitarist, Fredericks, actually wrote the drum tracks and it took Thomas Hakke 6 months to learn it live.

[deborahbeveridge]

Their light show is manually ran by his cousin, every light is manually triggered by 1 button, so basically the guy is plaything their music via a light board. Live. Everynight.

They are truly GEMS

[Arazmithin]

"He's so zen."
No, he is obZen, sir. =P

[morphine]

Being in a metal show, there two statuses, assume that people aren't packed together.
1) You're not in the mosh pit. Chillest crowd you'll ever be in. Seriously, we don't judge. The intensity of the music might blast your head off, but you go with the flow.
2) You're in the mosh pit. You'll bump shoulders, elbows, legs, but if you fall down or get hurt, people will lift you up or help you. The metal crowed leaves nobody behind.

Fun Fact: The Drummer of Meshuggah said he the time he spent practicing this song was roughly 50% of the album the Song was in. So the other 50% was the whole rest of the album. He also had to learn a different technique to play the double bass. And a long time they weren't sure if they wanted to put this song on the album because it was so hard.

A Meshuggah show is when everybody nods to the one of the 3+ time signatures and nobody is off.

[schmojo]

I so badly want Tomas Haake to take a beginner drumming class, act like he can't keep a beat, then just start playing Bleed.

[screamingsixties]

Meshuggah plays the best live shows I’ve ever attended. I’m a classically trained musician and this band has brought me tears, catharsis, euphoria, the whole emotional gamut live. It’s absolutely fantastic across the board

[yearzero]

Metal concerts are like a weekend camping with the boys; it’s loud, exciting, unpredictable, sometimes violent, and everyone comes away smiling.

[TheJTK]

I cant believe he literally hits every single fricken note perfectly live for this song. Like EVERY NOTE! In perfect timing

[aboutthemetal]

It took me two years to get this one down, practiced 2 hours 3 days a week, and I've been playing for 32 years, this is utter madness within Zen.

[GingerDrums]

The best description was by the curator at Tate england: "A Meshuggah concert is like having architecture thrown at you. It's a unique form."

[SGHallArt]

A Meshuggah concert is basically a bunch of peoples heads nodding at their own pace to the music, but everyone is still on beat somehow. :)

[LtHavoc]

Meshuggah live was such a physical sensation for me. The bass almost compressed your body and you felt the groove like no other band.

[deanmurphy]

Whats your workout routine?

“I play Bleed by Meshuggah on my drums.”

[cat-o-matic]

I'm an old dude who only started listening to metal over the last few years. I'd ignored metal for decades, not liking the thrash guitars and screaming vocals. But when I discovered metal bands with melodic vocals and just a bit of screaming, I was hooked. And as with medicines that one takes in increasing dosages, I became more tolerant of screaming to the point of enjoying it when it fit the song. Now I'm a full on metalhead. The music is so energetic! The music of my youth dealt with themes of girls, parties, and other pleasantries. This music examines the other emotional extremes such as anger, hopelessness, frustration, etc. It's another perspective on life.

Chronos: I am the God of time
Tomas Haake: Hold my beer

The music may seem "evil" but the people you meet at metal-konserts are often sweethearts, we are the nerds of the class who nobody payed attention to.. In my experience "metalheads" are just nerds who just likes aggressive music because it often tells the story that we are too polite to tell... Any way, we (metalheads) are not murderous psychopaths.. Rather the opposite <3

A Meshuggah concert is, to quote Bill Burr "a life altering experience"
I have been to one Meshuggah concert thus far and I didn't feel the urge to mosh or even headbang once. I was captivated through the whole set. Didn't even smoke a cigarette during the whole show, it was just staring at the stage the whole time. Can't be compared to another band, they're a whole new level.
