Meshuggah

[moonlapse vertigo]

i've seen that clip at least 100 times, but it seems to get better each time i watch it.

i'd have to say Haake ranks right up there with Portnoy as one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[cyppe101]

Yeah, that clip is so fucking good.. Lövgren doesn't look at his bass once.. pro.

NOTHING has been playing in my stereo pretty often lately, love Stengah, Rational Gaze and Straws Pulled At Random, prolly my fav album from them when I think of it..

[Battle-Axe]

I am literally counting down the days...



I just hope they don't cancel AGAIN :| I had tickets to their co-headline show with TDEP last November at Academy 2 but they cancelled cos they wanted to finish obZen completely or something. I almost cried hahah

Though I'm quite glad they did cancel in a way, cos I got to see TDEP headline in February at Academy 3 [which is half the size of 2, you stand at the stage and it's my favourite venue] and now I get to see these bastards play there too My boss is letting me out of work early to go queue up and he's meeting me there when he finishes I think 

Favourite CDs are Chaosphere, I and Nothing, and obZen is an incredible CD aswell - I listened to Combustion like 12 times when I first heard it. Favourite songs are probably... Straws Pulled At Random, Corridor Of Chameleons, Combustion, I, Future Breed Machine and New Millenium Cyanide Christ.

You lucky piece of shit! I could see them live this year in Finland, but my work comes first.. I have a work day when they play (sucks?.. YES!).
ps. your fav songs are mostly my fav 'shuggah songs.

[Battle-Axe]

Why thank you 

That's bollocks you didn't get to see em though - luckily the latest I ever have to til is 6PM and I work in the city centre so the longest it ever takes me to get to a venue is like 10 minutes.

I also heard rumours Textures are gonna be playing support which would be soooo awesome. Saw them live last year and they were sweet as hell - plus they're doing a UK headline tour in December so it would be pretty good promo for them.

[cyppe101]

I hate you now..

[Battle-Axe]

 

I'm soooo excited it's unreal but I'm half expecting them to cancel you know :[

I heard they cancelled a few of their European dates already not so long ago cos apparantly they don't like playing live that much because of the amount of pressure they're under. I love how on their tour dates page on meshuggah.net it says "Here are all planned gig dates. Please notice that dates can be changed/cancelled in the last minute, so it's a good idea to check with the local arrangers or ticket vendors." Too fucking right!

[cyppe101]

I wish you see them tho.. Have a good one man.

[Battle-Axe]

^__^ thanks

Only 11 weeks left to wait :p In a weird way it still hasn't sunk in properly that I'm actually gonna get to see them live in a 500 capacity venue when on like, Meshuggah The Movie there's clips of them playing to like 5-10,000 people  I can tell that me and my best friend are gonna be like the only 2 girls there or something as well haha

[Battle-Axe]

I needed to bump this thread, cos I'm seeing them live TOMORROW O____o

[deathblow]

im surprised ive seen no mention of the Nothing rerelease, that album fucking rocks.

went to see these fuckers with Ministry, and they got caught at the canadian border with their bongs out, and were held up, not being able to make it.... the pain was equivalent to getting raped by a black pornstar with no lube. i was/still am very choked

[Battle-Axe]

I'm actually listening to it now :]

It was the album that got me into them cos a friend at college sold it to me.

I semi feel your pain though when they cancelled the tour last year but I'm finally getting to see em and it's not sunk in properly yet haha. They've played 2 dates so far of this tour and from what I read on last.fm, their sets were pretty short cos of Tomas's shoulder or something. There's only one support band as well so I was hoping for at least 90 minutes

[black coffee]

gonna see Meshuggah next week. I'm oh so pumped.

Have you seen them live before? I saw them for the first time on tuesday and I'm still excited about it

Setlist was:

Perpetual Black Second
Bleed
Stengah
The Mouth Licking What You've Bled
Electric Red
Suffer In Truth
Rational Gaze
Pravus
STRAWS PULLED AT RANDOM! <3

Then Jens is like... "we're gonna play an old one now that we haven't played for a very long time cos we got bored of it. This is Soul Burn!"

Then they finished with Future Breed Machine.

I have videos of SPAR and Soul Burn that I'll try and upload tomorrow. I was pretty annoyed that they only played for an hour though, but they more than made up for it. Absolutely amazing band - I almost got a setlist as well but security wouldn't give it to me cos they were laminated and they're using the same ones for the rest of the tour.

But yea, it was mint.

[black coffee]

no, it'll be my first time. not going Meshuggah, but going to Meshuggah.

[theis]

This should be awesome!

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

[bright lights, big city]

look cool, but I take it this means we're not gonna see any new material for another couple years.

[_Fireal_]

Awesome trailer.

[black coffee]

I couldn't resist but get my hands on the Dvdrip, and to say the least, it is terrific. My flat mates already complained because of all the noise, but obviously I had to watch the whole thing.

Interesting interviews as well in-between songs. A guy asks Tomas whether they'd ever play "I" live in concert, and he answers something like "We probably never will. That track is totally random, and nobody knows how it goes".
