1. Wilfried Barth: Dali Thundering Concept - Myth of Happiness
2. mvunit3: +Wheezing Grampus Same with me, never heard them before (which is weird because I had bought SOOO many obscure band albums, even back then and before the 90's) and all it took was 2 minutes and I was hooked when it debuted in 1995. Been a fan ever since and I'm 55 :).
3. Kevin Knight: Maybe check out M.I.A. by Act of Defiance. I think you guys would dig it!
4. talflodrumm: Thats the meaning of ear training! Amazing!! 🙌🏻
5. TeeBest: I'll keep saying it until the day i die, ARCHITECTS! Gone With the Wind, Daybreak, These Colors Don't Run, Devil's Island, Early Grave, Heartless, Castles In the Air, Gravedigger, Royal Beggars, Death Is Not Defeat. Basically like 2-3 songs of each album. I would LOVE to hear their lyric breakdown/interpretation on some Architects songs
6. Santos L Halper: Universal appeal probably ain't gonna happen with something this heavy. LOL
7. rorz999: I think they'd like Black Label
8. Aziz Alawadhi: Agreed
9. Carlos Morales Ascuasiati: You guys are getting it!
10. Eric Christman: I second eagles become vultures
11. Scott Gillespie: WEEDPECKER !
12. Amer532: BATTLE ANGELS by SANCTUARY!!
13. The Darien Lux: Beautiful
14. Dennis Raymond: Glad to hear you guys give Meshuggah another shot! Try some Stevie Ray Vaughan?! Voodoo Child (Slight Return) live at Carnegie Hall. It's a 12 minute guitar masterclass
15. dman2602: If they like that maybe a Yob song after that?
16. VietnamD0820: Smo Key Either that song or Kill Or Become!!!
17. hrewhrewhrew: My impression of Meshuggah is that they're essentially drum ensemble that just happens to include some weird kinds of drums. Vocals = throat drums. Guitar = electric string drums. Bass = lower pitch electric string drums.
18. sledgehammermessiah: Yep
19. Tererai Makwiramiti: I cant believe they havent done this yet!!
20. Scott Gillespie: Conjurer or Boss Keloid
21. Nekro CorpsE666: thats why you graduate to death metal slowly but surely instead of being thrown at it without the evolution
22. gungutuzero: Exodus- Pleasures of the Flesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #SECONDCHANCESIN2018!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23. Jacobo Camargo: Fire from the gods-Excuse me. Is the perfect rap metal song for you guys
24. Lisa B: Wish you guys would try Highly Suspect. Listen to "Lydia" or "Bath Salts". They are awesome.
25. Tomahawk Tipton: Fun fact: Bill Burr is a huge Meshuggah fan.
26. Maxime Le Minter: In fact about how big and influence there music is, you can listen to most of the metal bands after they became famous, but they have a lot of influence in jazz also, genre you could check a bit more often also if you guys like.
27. Rino Zisa: The closest thing Meshuggah has ever gotten to a ballad.
28. Steve Torok: So cool watching your ears evolve! love watching your metal reactions.
29. Anthony Everingham: Say it separately- Demi urge
30. Trevor Book: Do not look down by Meshuggah, shit is so groovy. I’m willing to bet it would y’alls favorite Meshuggah song
31. crossrodde: you guys should check out The Fog by The Black Dahlia Murder
32. BBbacker511: 🔥🔥 Demon Hunter - Crucifix 🔥🔥 (metalcore)
33. Daniel Ducharme: NILE - USER MAAT RE
34. Xristos Pats: It can be read in Greek and translate as "creating" ,deme-urge. I don't know what the song is about, maybe i am wrong.
35. Ethan Davies: React to The Ocean Collective - Permian: The Great Dying. It’s long but takes you on an unbelievable sonic journey!
36. sreyn237: Hacktivist - Hacktivist
37. Eric Christman: Or don't forget to breath
38. Wally Reeves: My suggestions for future reviews are as follows... At The Gates "Slaughter of the Soul", "World of Lies" or "Blinded By Fear" In Flames "Food for the Gods", "Lord Hypnos" and "Only For the Weak" Hypocrisy "Roswell 47", "Fire In The Sky" and "Adjusting the Sun" Hatebreed "Doomsayer", "Proven" and "Looking Down the Barrel of Today" Six Feet Under "Silent Violence", "Beneath a Black Sky" and "Manipulation" White Zombie "Thunder Kiss 65", "Thrust" and "Electric Head"
39. Adam Sandoval: Glad you gave it another shot! Please check out Touch of Blessing by Evergrey! Heavy Guitars, Melody and awesome vocals
40. ArisenMind: From any band that's metal in origin they should always recommend the groovier songs. If you notice, those songs tend to be better reviewed on this channel. If you come from listening to a hip hop/r&b then groovier tracks with easier or more melodic transitions just seem to sound better even if you don't necessarily like the song.
41. Shawn Patterson: Did y'all ever play Doom as a kid?? Tell me this doesn't sound like a fit from that game soundtrack!!??
42. Matt S: BTBAM!!! Please check out some between the buried and me!!! Coma Machine as a nice first song or you can jump right in and check out Ants of the Sky or Extremophile Elite (live studio version is sick)!!!
43. ChickenbiscuitGuitar: Lamb of God - The Faded Line
44. The Madness and The MadMan: Sounds like the " Biggest " door stopper ever!!! The dudes need to hear some After the burial....grooves at their djentiest. Furthermore this is not it's own subgenre....this is Messhuggah….big difference between rap, pop, rock and metal is.....the metal guys really wanna just be their own sound. There is no band before Meshuggah that sounded like that....and there is no band after that can mimic them without fans of Meshuggah knowing immediately after hearing it that it's an imposter. HEY YOU!!! YA LIKE METALLICA? MEGADETH? TESTAMENT? LAMB OF GOD? CLICK THE LINK BELOW! (not a bot a real person sharing awesome music) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mAf8l52cf3fVxlOZ1K5LTaLrPw4k4Wwig?
45. Avizo Khatsü: Animals as Leaders next yo...
46. TJ Razzano: Face the Slayer by Slayer.
47. Anonymous Anonymous: You're I.Q. is below average.
48. dgvtx82: Saw them live Saturday, heavvyyyyy
49. Will Pestka: Corridor of Cameleons and Sane are just brutal from Chaosphere
50. joshua lynn: Rivers of nihil where owls know my name
51. IAm TheBlurr: Is it just me or does Meshuggah have a sound that could easily be used for hip-hop, especially with someone like Tech N9ne. I'd love to hear Tech slaying it over/with a Meshuggah song.
52. Matthew Byrd: Shit I wish I knew your names I’ve watched you enough I should know. Bald guy (lol I’m sorry I should know) i agreed completely with a couple points you made - anyone can see Meshuggah are great musicians but it’s a metalhead elitist band for sure, it’s not for general audiences.
53. James Crider: +Sherif Hamdy exactly
54. Samu Sammale: React to polyhpia G.O.A.T pleaseeee
55. Zach Ansley: Pain of Salvation - King of Loss!
56. Hate Mich: Amazing, but Ants of The Sky is the perfection
57. allenro1: Im not subscribed to yall anymore but let me get this correct..."cannibal corpse " reations ? I may hace to resub soon "Corridor of Chameleons "by meshuggah is a good one
58. Adam Ferguson: You guys must react to Led Zeppelins Since I've Been Loving You! Please do it. You will love it I am sure.
59. ILLegal ELbow: Demi Urge
60. mvunit3: This was created for Fredrik Thordendal's Birthday a few years ago :p So you are not far from the truth :P :D https://youtu.be/_nN-4bydOKc
61. ScumbagSteve: +Tony M I agree. Redneck is really overrated and not a good showcase of the brilliance of LoG
62. Lemonyrhus: Hey guys, you should listen to this song at 1,5x speed :D
63. hyeinla: The Hurt That Finds You First is a great choice.
64. Benoit Rumeau: Quality video !! Infant Annihilator please !
65. Chris Gauthier: AAAAAAHAHAHAAA. I'm gonna think about a doorstopper every time I hear Meshuggah now
66. taup184: Listen to a new genre! Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (live in Wacken 2013) It's arguably the greatest symphonic metal song ever written!!!
67. Namegoeshere Orhere: The fringes are where the influences come from, if everyone went for a universal appeal music would all just sound the same and stagnate. Pop is music that appeals to the fickle, those that turn the radio on in the background while not actually listening to it and are told by record companies what the hits are.
68. Nate Rupp: Tool - right in two
69. oootinanai: I could be wrong, but when I saw the title I automatically pronounced it in my head as demi-urge, as in demi-god etc, so demi plus urge pronounced together. I don't think it's an exotic word or something, just a more artistic way to say you have almost an urge to do something, in the same way a demigod is almost a god. My guess is it ties thematically with the album title Koloss which is a different word for Colossus if I'm not mistaken, so you know...Mythology, deities, supernatural beings and that kind of stuff :D.
70. Jesus_the_frog42: Please react to Between The Buried And Me! I feel like you guys would like Prequel To The Sequel.
71. George Shoultes: YES MORE TOOL :)
72. Hermes Raggio Adorno: Excelent reaction men! Please...check "Powertrip", from Chimaira. Thank You!
73. Daniel Boersma: Have you guys checked out Amon Amarth yet? Twilight of the Thunder God is a good shout.
74. Vae Victis: Alien weaponry is worth a listen boys!
75. Bjarki2330: I thought it was "Demi - Urge"
76. Brian D. White: Rick Deckard yes. I've been suggesting this or Arise...
77. elproducto78: No artist should create to please the masses.
78. Tesla Tech89: So much yes!!
79. drock55551: I really like that you went back and checked out Bleed again after being more acclimated to metal. You should also revisit Lamb of God.
80. Shredders TV: Frontierer-bleak
81. belleobscurytee: dem (like in "democracy") -e (as in "easy")- urge (as in urge). Its the primordial force behind the creation of the physical universe in the ancient world
82. Ben G: Metallica - Orion please boysss
83. Samuel: Upvoted for belakor!!!
84. Nick Garrity: I don't actually like Meshuggah but I actually disagree completely with the need for 'universal appeal'. If your goal is make it big, then yes, you need to find a sound that lots of people enjoy but if your aim is to make the music that you want to make, for it's own sake then then worrying about how it will sound to other people is a hindrance. Check out anything by Suffocation.
85. SGSEN: "Do Not Look Down" (from the same album) would've been a waaaay better choice. Don't get why people got so attached to Demiurge. But hey, to each his own...i guess.
86. Edwin Bonilla: If you ask me I like this one better than bleed. If bleed is a crusher, this one is a streamroller.
87. John M: Y'all would have dug the video for, New Millennium Cyanide Christ.
88. patrick miller: This suggestion is not going to be as hard as this band but check out Care by Dance Gavin Dance. Also I think you guys would really enjoy math rock. Toe is a great band to start with.
89. Metalisgreat Metalisawesome: They should do Admit Defeat or The Uncollective
90. Alexandre Santos: Burzum - Dunkelheit
91. DeusExMachina0000000: I'm in your city this weekend!!
92. Matt Disney: You need to give Lamb of God another shot. I would recommend Omerta or Walk with me in Hell
93. John Sandberg: Djent = Door stop haha. Yes they use the vocals and guitars as additional percussive instruments. It's cool to she your evolution on revisiting bleed. It's a hard listen to someone new to metal, but once you have an ear for metal you can't help but be impressed by Tomas Haake's drumming even if you don't like them.
94. rayisawesoem: Down, Stone the Crow, the album version please!
95. Einar Trausti Snorrason: new millennium cyanide christ by meshuggah the offical video is something you really need to check
96. VitrescentObelisk: YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES
97. maseawee: Chino Moreno “Brief Exchange “ Chino Moreno “Brief Exchange “
98. Seth Skinner: I don't think bands should try to "appeal" to anyone. I think they should play the music that appeals to them, and by doing so, it will also appeal to other people that have a hunger for that same sound. Trying to appeal to too many people is what kills bands.
99. Robert Filep: Zeal & Ardor - Don't you dare
100. Shawn Mackes: The Contortionist- Language Part 1 and 2!
101. Fred: Chainheart Machine
102. bewalker25: Try SYBREED - bioactive...djient guitars groove with eletronic elements..called cyber metal. It has mix of hash and cleab vocals
103. João Pacheco: Meshuggah - Dancers To A Discordant System
104. Dowanation: I still think you guys need to give Lamb of God another chance. It certainly has the groove that you guys like.
105. Christopher Mundahl: G.O.A.T and OD.
106. Zach Richard: lol I gotta point this out. You guys have literally said that if you have to listen to a genre/style of music over and over again in order to like it then maybe you just don't like it. It's really awesome to see you guys come so far with metal and I feel like you've done a 180 on that idea specifically. Love you guys, keep making awesome videos.
107. Beavswanee: Dragonland, Dimmu Borgir, Necrophagist, a different Symphony X song, Angra, Blind Guardian, Plini, The Helix Nebula, Animals as Leaders, Scar Symmetry, etc... These all should be on the list!
108. K L: Ashe is an amazing singer.
109. General Aspergers: Slipknot - Eyeless.
110. Mr Schneebly: I've been recommending this song to them for what feels like ages. Either this or The Coma Machine is probably the best BTBAM song to start with.
111. ecchance: This band definitely did not invent Djent. There have been bands pounding out riffs in muted drop A and G since the mid-80's. There is no one band that can claim that crown.
112. Max S' Contreras: I recommend you guys one of the greatest prog bands nowadays: Haken. I would say that good songs to introduce them are "In Memoriam" or "The Cockroach King". Thanks for your videos guys! Greetings from Mexico!
113. Codi Kelley: Death Grips.
114. Heriberto Rondon Hernandez: Give another chance to Type o negative - Christian woman. And Radiohead - Paranoid Android
115. Carnage 1138: It's called "headbanging" not "head nodding" lol
116. Josh Webb: More/Diamond Ring~Benny Blanco ft Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack Great Track, especially 6lack verse.
117. Viscount Lordington: Anal Cunt - any song
118. Nick Drage: Eyehategod - Crimes Against Skin
119. Tiago V.: +matternicuss I don't want to be that guy, but doesn't Meshuggah use polymeters not polyrhythms? Polyrhythms are 2 different rhythms occuring in the same timeframe (like 4:3 - 4 evenly spaced beats and 3 evenly spaced beats in the same timeframe). Since Meshuggah has one 4/4 time signature with more complex signatures overlapping that sync up after X amount of 4/4 loops, wouldn't it be polymeters?
120. Rusbell: Yes - roundabout!!!
121. Ashley Meurig: Do more Token guys. Token - Somewhere in-between. It's real, I feel it's what you guys will want to hear from Token.
122. Howard_the_Duck: You guys get too cute with these requests. How did Rational Gaze not win?
123. ecchance: David Mathes I agree 100 percent. The complexity is there but composition falls short.
124. Gianmaria Carneri: Little metalheads grow up 💪
125. Shogun C: I'm back to request The Contortionist's "Return to Earth"
126. ARTemiUS MIlitarist: Uh I dunno, I wish you guys dont cut video, that mode with "highlights" looks kinda meh :s
127. sethikins57: Turnstile-new rules please
128. hussain shaikh: Metal elitist don't like Meshuggah🤣 They can't count more than 4 x 4 beat
129. Klink Klank Radio: PORCUPINE TREE: "Deadwing" PLEASE!!!!!!!
130. Brett Pulley: Eaten by Bloodbath!!!! You will like it!!!!!!!!!!
131. meshuggah18: Yes,
132. Tinuke Williams: Yees
133. James Woods: Steve Vai - For The Love of God live with the Holland Metropole Orchestra or Steve Vai - Tender Surrender
134. Michael Kapty: Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights
135. Doug Brown: That's the bass you're hearing
136. Paimon: They're such a boring band. I don't understand the following.
137. scb0212: Dillinger Escape Plan - Widower. PLEASE FINALLY!!!
138. Outrage: Mikasa by Veil of Maya PLEASE!!!
139. Steven Veronikis: +alphaenemy I agree
140. darwinism18: These guys are not cut for Meshuggah, even "Bleed" review is more or less lame. You should analyze "Nostrum", first hit impact song.
141. Isaac: MORE MESHUGGAH. Do live live version (Montreal) of New Millennium Cyanide Christ please.
142. Daniel Agramonte: +kyler oliver that's definitely true... The cockroach king isn't like anything else hakens done. Both puzzlebox and nil by mouth are fantastic
143. Jimmy Tibbs: React to Otep ' Confession'
144. Proximatus: Between the Buried and Me - Swim to the Moon
145. Zeinzu Androy: When i try to watch a few people/group have a conversation (news, talkshows, etc) it never gets real. It's always surface level shit where no one wants to be vulnerable. You 2 are a pallet cleanser. It's so god damned satisfying to hear real people. Sometimes it's hard to get that type of stuff out of friends. So thank you so very much FROM THE HEART. Having said all that, next time try Rational Gaze, New Millennium Cyanid Christ, Future Breed Machine, and Combustion!! In that order. Please, please, please. Keep on killing it, AAAAAAAND.... You 2 are OFFICIALLY card carrying members of the metal community. Bar none! And with that come friendship brotherhood and protection from anyone that tries to do you wrong. Guaranteed someone in your area has your back!!!
146. JoeyBones Jones: Bottom Feeder by Parkway Drive
147. Octacilio lino neto: LAMB OF GOD AGAIN
148. efrain iniguez: White Zombie - More human than human
149. Jare M: Opeth - Burden
150. metalheaddave666: Zachary Moses I agree with this
151. xisumavoid: 10:15 - 100% truth right there!!!
152. Zach Hamilton: First off Iove your channel and am glad I support it. Great quality and content. I'd like to bring a point to you guys about a question you used to ask. If it take more than one listen to know if you like it, is it really worth it. The answer is yes. Sometimes you need to revisit some things because you never know how it's going to hit you after your mind changes from experiences. Many albums from bands I love even take me a while or years to truly understand why it's good and I fall In love with them after having a bad taste or feeling first. Keep it up
153. Ravi Narewatt: You guys, please check out Noname gypsy. She's the real deal. Check out the song "Self". You're missing out!
154. Guillaume .Picq: Demiurge got more votes than Rational Gaze or new millenium?? I mean this is not one of their best songs. I think you would have enjoyed Do not look down. from the same album, the groove is great on this one!
155. TheMandrakeNeverDies: You guys still need to try Nightwish. I'd suggest a track called Ghost River :)
156. 1994 mathis: Metallica Orion
157. Lalaïna ICHANE: Hey guys! Great video! Next time you revisit Meshuggah, I'd suggest you to listen to some of their earlier material, like Future Breed Machine or New Millenium Cyanide Christ :-) It's from the 90's and maybe you'll understand more how they are pioneers of djent.
158. royalK: Amon Amarth, any song please.
159. Will Pike: Demiurge is one of Meshuggah's few normie hits. The album it comes from, Koloss, is very normie. It's definitely not a bad album (I really enjoy listening to it), but compared to their other albums, it's easily one of my least favorites. Meshuggah is my favorite metal band of all time. They're extremely creative, especially in their early days. They're definitely an aquired taste. Loved this video, guys!
160. malikaname: Great video guys! You should react to Bring me the Horizon- Shadow Moses ot House of Wolves. They have album coming out soon as well.
161. AndyBraz: Meshuggah was probably the hardest band for me to get into in metal. But damn I love these guys nowadays. You should give it a try to "Future Breed Machine" I honestly think you'll love it. It's heavy and crazy but at the same time more accessible.
162. Elliott Petrella: Aye you should check out my band Killer Couture our album is called "God Forgive The Childeren" and its on spotify.
163. Amer532: +Leon Tranter 4.9 Million views, 33 thousand likes, 994 dislikes...... Bye
164. Chuck H: Really should check out "Clockworks" by Meshuggah.
165. Mr. Gale: look it's time to go back to GOJIRA LENFANT SAVAUGE
166. K L: Concealing Fate is superb. really like Perfection and Deception.
167. Jerry Campbell: Metal elitists aren't too keen on that djent sound 😊
168. Ben Pantera: bill burr fav band lol
169. Jeremy Scout: Obzen. It's way more up tempo and catchy and a little more accessible as far as their work goes. The lyrics are really insightful too. Meshuggah are very mechanical and perhaps binary and I can understand why it's not for everyone. You might like to visit Contradictions Collapse..back before they found their more modern formula.
170. ironcaua: Angra - Hunters and Prey 🇧🇷
171. James Fitzpatrick: Fear factory - self bias resistor
172. BatFan1: to the untrained ear, the disjointedness in the songs from bands like Meshuggah do come off as harsh and chaotic. But i dont think metal elitists would use Meshuggah as an example of "this is metal" . i would point to Meshuggah, and Gojira and say "this is what metal can be". Metal keeps evolving, i dont know where else it will go, maybe country-metal? muzak -metal? lol.
173. Matt Something: Shoulda done New Millennium Cyanide Christ. They would have loved it. Especially the tour bus video.
174. Andy Smith: Guys you gotta get into the melodic death metal. In Flames, Scar Symmetry, Soilwork.
175. Bartosz B.: rivers of nihil - where owls know my name best metal track of 2018
176. Stephen Boulden: Will you do more jinjer reactions ?
177. liferescripted: Zeal and Ardor - We Can't be Found. You have definitely never heard anything like this before.
178. Alex Ottomano: To go back and check out bleed again is pretty awesome of you guys
179. Green Man: He YouTube Me I never said a non metalhead couldn’t like some metal songs. What I’m saying is, Meshuggah are an extreme metal band, and they’re goal is to create extremely complex and heavy metal. If people like that, then that’s awesome. If people don’t like that, that’s fine too, but it’s not Meshuggah’s job to appeal to those people somehow.
180. Zack Goad: PLEASE get at After The Burial, a wolf amongst ravens, y'all like groove, you will GROOVE.
181. David Gonzo: I remember thinking they sounded like doorstoppers when they came out. Always had the same opinion, I appreciate them but never really loved them. They are fun live though. Hit up some High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine.
182. Eggers Eggers: DO NOT LOOK DOWN!!!
183. Rick Deckard: Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells !!
184. Joseph Jimenez: Watching them live is a spiritual experience! \m/
185. Billy Ruben: I love you went back to bleed. I've often wondered how you'd react to songs you've already done, now that you've got some experience. Hero of War by Rise Against.
186. Mark Groves: Demi-urge. Does that help? Demiurge is the title of a false god who believes himself to actually be god due to having no experience in memory of the god who actually created him to be the architect of the true God's universe. It is a gnostic term. It may help to know this in order to understand what the song is about.
187. Stefan Hohneck: Can we please get some sylosis-to build a tomb or revocation-of unworldly origin
188. tagtag123: Slipknot- Wait and Bleed
189. Joel Santiago: 5:40 anticipating getting back to that, but then prog changes too much n doesn’t sound good? Hmmmm
190. MalfaiteurCraven: +Ariel Wainzinger I wouldn't describe most of Cradle of filth's more accessible songs as the kiddy pool. I would consider it to be on the same level as theatre of tragedy and a lof of melodic death metal bands I think that they are ready for. I'm not saying they should just stick to insanly easy songs, but this isn't strickly a metal channel, so they only have time to react to so much. I think it would be more productive to listen to songs that push the boundries of what they are used to, while bridging the gap with familiar elements. With that said, it would be kind of funny to see them react to something by Nails.
191. Smo Key: I think its about time for that Scourge Of Iron.... Cannibal Corpse with Corpsegrinder is a MUST!!! You wont regret it.
192. jamatheo: At the risk of being lynched - Babymetal "Starlight". I dare you :)
193. Darren Leary: You guys need to check out their older album Destroy Erase Improve. Soul Burn is a masterpiece. PS: Thanks for respecting good music even if it isn't your thing.
194. Nick Drage: Melvins - A History of bad Men
195. Ghost Data: Converge - Dark Horse
196. matthew myers: I love that you went back to bleed and gave it another listen. On the idea that a truly great artist needs to have mass appeal, I disagree. That can certainly be a factor, and it works for a lot of great artists. I can't think of too many metal bands that have a wide of a range of influence that meshuggah has had. They are up their with the likes of Metallica and tool. Devin Townsend actually says in his song planet of the apes, "While we all have lots of bands who influence still... we all rip off Meshuggah" These guys came out in the early 90's and took the death metal formula, which was in its infancy, and turned (or dropped) it on its head. Meshuggah doesnt just push the envelope. They shred it, recycle the peices, and make a new one. Saying all this I sound like a fan boy, but I'm actually not a huge fan of them, I prefer a bit more melody, and I don't think they are the bleeding edge that they used to be. Rock and metal are what they are today partially because they have influenced so many artists in the genre.
197. Dennis Kirkegaard Jensen: Devildriver - End of The Line for some harsh vocals I think can progress your taste.
198. Spegy N Merbles: As long as your doing second chances, YOU HAVE TO DO DEATH AGAIN. Flesh and the power it holds would probably be best for you guys, but pull the plug is my personal favorite.
199. Andrew Sitek: Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7AvjxG-jcE
200. Chris O.: You guys are great but I disagree with Ryan and the notion that as an artist you should strive to achieve any kind of universal appeal. An artist creates art for themselves; an entertainer creates art with the intention of it appealing to others. That may sound selfish, but it is very easy to tell when a band adds elements to their music simply because it may broaden their appeal, and it comes off as insincere and forced most of the time. I think the best bands in the world are the ones that create art for themselves because their passion for what they are creating is infectious.
201. liveforthis160: More Megadeth!
202. J T: You guys are awesome, love your, honesty and humor. I love Meshuggah just as much as I love Jay-Z and DREAM tHEATER.
203. Anthony Zaccagni: ive commented this before. DANCERS TO A DISCORDANT SYSTEM PLEASE. Such a heavy song with super deep lyrics.
204. gristam s: i think they have some way to pre-view before they actlly post the vid so they did this live like a month ago but just recently posted it,. i think patereon is what its called
205. Rupert Grint: Love the explanation guys !!! ...btw its pronounced like demi -urge
206. boogabuga: more meshuggah plz
207. Enoc Reyes: cannibal corpse iron scourge
208. quincy sheton: They need to do I AM COLOSSUS...One of Meshuggah's BEST all around songs. Either that, Born In Dissonance, Neurotica, or something from Catch 33. Maybe the first 3 songs.
209. Mark M: Soilwork - Father and Son Watching the World go Down or Tongue!
210. Oli Miah: After watching this video, I watched the cannibal corpse one. It looks as Ryan really likes breakdowns. What are some songs that have good breakdowns?
211. Know Won: the word djent describes the "door stopper" sound of the guitar. but how could they have chosen any song but future breed machine? it comes from playing a 7 or 8 string guitar and pre bending a note on the low string and release it as you play the note making the "djent" sound.  meshuggah invented that sound, but they are not a djent band and did not create djent. a lot of band just copied their sound and mixed it with early dillinger escape plan technical style and then enough bands ripped those 2 bands off for it to be called a genre and so neither dillinger escape plan or meshuggah are djent, but they are the 2 bands that invented the sound that the genre ripped off. speaking of dillinger escape plan the only album that's worth listening to is calculating infinity and should check out the track 43% burnt
212. Dennis Raymond: Or The Bell Witch! That nasty riff holds a special place in my heart
213. sulrics: Nightwish - live from Wacken 2013 - Ghost Love Score.
214. Devan Griffith: yes this!!! ^^ i'd put the song up for a poll though - many greats
215. Brain Thief: The time spent on dissecting Meshuggah is awesome. You dudes are great. Much respect. You guys get it. You guys care. You are so damn real. Excited you came back to Meshuggah. Right on! Keep it up. You rule! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
216. gristam s: i know its not metal but could you please do the GRATEFUL DEAD they are a very important u.s. band and no one ever reacts to the dead and no more djent or nu-metal you guys did enough of that and still got alot of sub-genres BACK TO WORK chop chop.....!
217. Bobby Parker: Please react to The Contortionist (anything off the language album) PLEASE!
218. Bruh: please do a xxxtentacion- skins album review
219. David Burrell: Architects - Gone with the Wind August Burns Red - Hero of Half Truth Protest the Hero - Dunsel Oh, Sleeper - Hush Yael
220. Kim Eklund: Awsome as meshuggah Always is 🤘
221. yumadapaka: meshuggah gets better the more you listen to them. they are not a "first listen" type of band. anyway, i really think you guys will love Behind the Sun by Meshuggah.
222. WillJM81280: Pantera
223. Jonathan Pope: If you like meshuggah check out Veil of Maya, legend says they rival meshuggah...check out overthrow, pool spray or echo chamber 🤘🤘🤘
224. MCKerrnel: If you’re going to entertain New Millenium Cyanide Christ, you should give Rob Scallon’s shovel bass version of that song a listen...much better version imo.
225. Jordan Petty: Meshuggah - Clockworks VOLA - Smartfriend Haken - Cockroach King
226. Eggers Eggers: BREAK THOSE BONES WHOS SINEWS GAVE IT MOTION!!!
227. Zach Cooper: You guys should do a Nonpoint song. 👍🤘
228. Kevin Ordonez: Or the almighty Future Breed Machine
229. Ragnarr Loðbrók: Sear bliss - Lost and not found Mgla - Exercises in futility V Agalloch - Not unlike the waves Watain - Satan´s Hunger
230. Nate Walker: Protest would be so good!
231. Chance: I think Meshuggah is one of the best at making very complex and sometimes almost overwhelming songs but still giving listeners something to grab onto. I'm a huge Meshuggah fan and have always thought Demiurge is one of my least favorite songs by them. I'm glad you guys decided to checkout Bleed again and some of their older stuff are easier to listen to imo because its a bit more thrashy.
232. Brett Cloud: Wow, I never imagined you guys would react to this song. Probably my favorite song of theirs.
233. Tino Kleiss: Avenged Sevenfold "Paradigm "
234. Billy Pappas: I been trying for BTBAM since they first started. Won’t happen
235. David Mathes: They are talented, but the repetition is not my cup of tea, technically advanced but missing something groove and song writing wise. Check out " within the ruins" very technical.....but groove and song writing is next level...trust me fellas.
236. 20thCenturyPox: It's just a sequence of riffs, not a song. Thanks for confirming that I don't need to listen to Meshuggah.
237. hyeinla: Rick Deckard Mass Hypnosis or Desperate Cry!
238. furnjohn: Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross
239. Naushad Kabir: There's some solid serious discussion about niche vs universal appeal. I agree that the greatest art transcends, and is true to the vision of its creator and simultaneously able to crossover to cult followers and casual experiences of art. The elitists and the masses. The Roots and Metallica were great examples. It's also another milestone in this channel to see how much you gentlemen have broadened your listening palette to be able to understand more difficult and inaccessible songs and then go back and re- approach songs from before with new seasoned ears. Initially metal along with country or hip hop or any type of unique or underground genre of music can be tough to process at first, but easier after adjustment and exposure. I hated Cannibal Corpse when I first heard them. After years of listening to death metal, they now sound far less intimidating (I now find them boring or even tame) after a revisit.
240. UnWastedMovies: Please, if you think you are ready, listen to Infant Annihilator. It's basically a joke but at the same time one of the, if not the most heaviest metalband out there. It would be a hilarious video atleast!
241. Gardiens Nostalgiques: MORTAL SIN - LEBANON That song is really for your taste You really have to react to it !!
242. Pasi T: I think you, boys, hit the bull's eye several times. The rhythm, the pauses, the trance, the technicality, the skills. Late Malcolm Young of AC/DC said: "Rock'n'roll is in the pause." And he was right. Meshuggah is one of those bands, which stand out unique and have a really good, consistent sound of their own. Over all, I've given a lot of thought on, what is the appeal to people with their different tastes of music. For example - and I might go south hard - lyrics: Those are important in rap music and in metal music, but with different origin. I'm led to think that rap began from the lyrics and only afterwards came the music like a canvas of a sort, at first being nearly irrelevant. And the lyrics are the essence in rap by rhythm, cleverness and message. Now, in metal the music came first, before singing. The singing isn't usually supposed to be percussive, but like a coloring melodically the hard basis laid by instruments. And they still aren't irrelevant by the message. Metal songs deal with many serious matters, as rap music also does. So, what I'm trying to say is that, we approach music from the different direction and that's we in many cases find it hard to understand, let alone appreciate, other music genres than the ones were into. In the end it's important, that we all get some positive vibes from some kind of music. And accept that there's also people, who couldn't be less bothered about any music. (Hope you get the idea of what I'm trying to say as English isn't my mother tongue, as you may notice...)
243. Z32spdstr: Door stop hahaha
244. Ewan Valentine: I think everything you said in this video was spot on. And as a huge Meshuggah fan, I think a door stop is probably actually the best description of Djent I've heard 😂
245. Shark Gun: What me especially brings to enjoy Meshuggah are their Rhytms. You can play many diffrent things over their songs. But they also got something like a learningcurve, because their songs are complex. You cant get all the dynamics of a song at the first listen.
246. cty01: Meshuggah-Qualms of Reality Iron Maiden-Rime of the Ancient Mariner Meshuggah's first album came just before this brainy industrial math-metal BS . That's real music, pure, straight, progressive trash, Metallica-style just harder and with some jazzy stuff thrown in. And the Maiden song is probably their best progressive epic which helped ignite the whole prog-metal genre, the band is in top form here which they couldn't match later on.
247. Ten Elephants: Okay.. Time to pull out the album... The DVD is pretty amazing too!
248. VietnamD0820: Aakash Balaji I want to believe that Anselmo isn’t racist cuz I love Pantera but there’s just too much evidence out there...one of the band members of Machinehead has quite a bit to say on what he’s heard directly from Anselmo’s mouth...I’m sure you can find the video of you look for it on YouTube
249. JTitiB: If you wanna get into an extreme and disturbing metal experience, I suggest you to try this : Darkspace - Dark 2.10 😊
250. Rich Williams: Love seeing how your ears are adapting to the sound, and I think your discussions are more knowledgeable now. Rap and metal are so closely related, imo. Keep up the good work boys! Btw, Bleed is an exercise in rhythmic technicality, you definitely weren't wrong.
251. Worry BX: I disAgree with universal appeal. Cause good music is for anyone. But great music is loved by some people
252. Ryan Wilkerson: Yes please!!
253. Everett Dudley: Dig me some obfuscation
254. Thomas Brünner: Guys just go to a Meshuggah consert....... try look for Bill Burr's video on Meshuggah
255. _thrudgelmi: Should've done "Do Not Look Down" or "Break Those Bones Who Sinews Gave it Motion", dem grooooves
256. HardHeavyLoud: Great reaction. Meshuggah is one of those band (to me) which was really hard to enter and appreciate (took me about a year constantly trying to get used to their universe and rhythms). I would compare it to taste your first beer when you're only used to chocolate. It's bitter, rough, almost disgusting at first try but the more you try, the more you got the sense of it and get intoxicating. Now that I got used to them everything else's sounds fade to me. Anyway I've heard so many people treating me like a weirdo for loving this music that I just want to shout you guys out. Keep on your metal journey with an open mind, you're just the best.
257. PanasonicTooth: Clockworks might be a bit much for them to enjoy imo. I'd recommend Rational Raze for sure though.
258. Austin McKinney: Kyuss!!!!!!!!
259. caden brockbank: Stuart Gibson that would be amazing!
260. David D'Arcy: Dancers to a Discordant System is a must listen
261. Oi I am a SocDem: Behemoth - Ov Fire and The Void
262. TheCrazyCanuck420: Interesting in their last react they were wondering if there were two drummers, and Bill said Tomas upper and lover halves were doing two orthogonal songs at the same time.
263. Matthew Riddle: +metalheaddave666 They could just watch the censored version. (big evil grin)
264. D Holmes: You guys should really do a Whitechapel song. To start off, I would recommend Bring Me Home
265. theherbpuffer: CALENRAPS
266. Derrek Jones: Cool to see you guys circle back now that your pallet is a little more seasoned. Meshuggah is deliberately difficult to digest in one sitting. New Millennium Cyanide Christ or Rational Gaze in the future. Win/win.
267. New Dark Age Now: Really enjoyed this video Ryan & George.. watching y’all evolve is super interesting, Meshuggah took me years to get into and even now it’s very much just for a time and a place..
268. Tom Winters: Jeff Buckley - Grace Jeff Buckley - Grace Jeff Buckley - Grace THE ALBUM VERSION NOT THE VIDEO
269. VietnamD0820: Konstantin Shootkin Most definitely...I do have hope, since Napalm Death is considered the creators of grindcore...and these gentlemen love to check out all the different sub genres...I would go with Smash A Single Digit though, because that song is merciless, even by Napalm Death’s own standards
270. Christian Larsson: Goddamn I clicked this video fast! My favorite band of all time. They literally changed the way I perceive music. Pure genius!
271. chandlerite: Wage War - The River!!!!
272. Wild Child: In the Platonic, Neopythagorean, Middle Platonic, and Neoplatonic schools of philosophy, the demiurge (/ˈdɛmiˌɜːrdʒ/) is an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe. The Gnostics adopted the term "demiurge". Although a fashioner, the demiurge is not necessarily the same as the creator figure in the monotheistic sense, because the demiurge itself and the material from which the demiurge fashions the universe are both considered to be consequences of something else. Depending on the system, they may be considered to be either uncreated and eternal or the product of some other entity. The word "demiurge" is an English word derived from demiurgus, a Latinized form of the Greek δημιουργός or dēmiourgos. It was originally a common noun meaning "craftsman" or "artisan", but gradually came to mean "producer", and eventually "creator". The philosophical usage and the proper noun derive from Plato's Timaeus, written c. 360 BC, where the demiurge is presented as the creator of the universe. The demiurge is also described as a creator in the Platonic (c. 310–90 BC) and Middle Platonic (c. 90 BC – AD 300) philosophical traditions. In the various branches of the Neoplatonic school (third century onwards), the demiurge is the fashioner of the real, perceptible world after the model of the Ideas, but (in most Neoplatonic systems) is still not itself "the One". In the arch-dualist ideology of the various Gnostic systems, the material universe is evil, while the non-material world is good. According to some strains of Gnosticism, the demiurge is malevolent, as it is linked to the material world. In others, including the teaching of Valentinus, the demiurge is simply ignorant or misguided.
273. Franco Di Salvo: "Do Not Look Down" is by far Meshuggah's grooviest song. I'm very sure anyone could enjoy that song and specially these guys.
274. Keegan Eide: You guys are spot on in this video
275. H. Monk: Jaime Jasta shouted you guys’ out on his latest podcast... The Jaime Jasta Show with Sergio from The Deftones💪🏽🎸
276. Voldren: i'm surprised rational gaze wasn't heavily suggested to them (i'm sure many people have seen the wolf of wallstreet clip where someone has put this song in it, i can't listen to the song now without having this clip in my head xD), the groove is so nice there anyway i love meshuggah, but i understand why they're pointing out so much about how heavy it is, personally i couldn't listen to this for like the whole day (though i've tried already), it's so heavy and rhytm is so monotonous, that after being exposed to it for too long i get headaches and basically i feel like a newborn baby, not being able to keep my head up xD
277. Armany Torres: React to, “informal gluttony” by Between the buried and me!
278. 3636taylor: Oceans ate Alaska-hansha
279. Eba Sal: +Mark M i dunno if it's perfect song style wise for them, but the vocals are a definite highlight, and I think that's something they'll appreciate and will stand out for them. It's an amazing song and I hope they do it. But as far as song style goes, Overload would probably be the most accessible for them, or maybe even Nerve.
280. PandasMilk: Deftones - Rosemary
281. WillJM81280: Pantera
282. TheResidualEffect: I like Voice of Trespass better for their first exposure
283. Omar Sullivan: Saw these guys live with Code Orange; amazing concert
284. K. R. Vick: Not the biggest Meshuggah fan, haha, but love your channel guys! Also hope it's OK, figured you'd wanna know, and sorry if others have pointed out a hundred times -- your Twitter branding in the video has three letter "l's". Folllow! 😊
285. Sick Revolting Piss: You guys need to get into some electronic now. Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, etc. one genre you haven’t covered yet.
286. José Nicanor Liberos Mascarell: I am still mad that you did not enjoy "Bleed", but let's see how you fare this time...
287. Matt Canning: elliot smith - between the bars bob dylan - tangled up in blue
288. Papahendaddy: Devin Townsend - Deadhead live at royal albert hall!!
289. Kram Nossib: Why was this not bleed... Edit: you don't just listen to bleed, you krank it and feel it
290. Not Normal: Revocation - Crumbling imperium! !!!!
291. xSociety: Gojira - Remembrance
292. Ismael Blind-ox: the cover is made by a guy named " LUMINOKAYA " ;)
293. isuckatguitar12: I also really love how yall are nerding out over Meshuggah and Bleed like metalheads when you say you aren't even sure you like it that much lmao
294. me too thanks: If you liked the slower part in the Cannibal Corpse song you listened to, I think Primitive Man would be worth a shot but I would start with either "Sugar Hole" or "When Getting High is Not Enough." They're a Death/Sludge/Black Metal band with Noise influences. Just for the shock, I think it would be interesting.
295. ryanw1401: Can you play a song longer than 10 sec. And not talk for an hour?
296. guntbox: Hatebreed-Puritan
297. Elliott Benjamin: If you do another meshuggah reaction please react to “do not look down”. I’d bet money y’all will love it. It’s an absolutely incredible groove
298. Xova Qiin: Demiurge is a decent choice for an intro to Meshuggah. Cool of you guys to go back to Bleed and get a 2nd listen. Meshuggah is definitely a band that grows on you. They are an acquired taste. Listen to New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Straws Pulled at Random, or Combustion next. You guys are not quite ready for Clockworks or Do Not Look Down yet.
299. 1OtherFactor: https://youtu.be/Hav41w-FQWQ. Band from the mountains of KY.
300. Tyler Davis: Thats awesome guys, thanks for giving them a fair shake. Was cool seeing you guys reacting to Bleed again, can see firsthand the evolution of you guys. Meshuggah, Tool, Opeth. 3 pillars of my life.
301. TheMawsJawz TM: This is the channel that got me into Meshuggah
302. Fahim Ahmad: Jens Kidman's hardcore vocals r Meshuggah's trademark w/ 2 sets of 8-string guitars. I prefer the term 'polyrhythmic extreme metal' for their music!
303. Michael Rosa: Fistful of Steel - Rage Against The machine
304. corrosivevinyl: You guys should so do Portishead. Pick any song off of the album “Dummy”. Put a poll up!
305. allenro1: Lol . Once i master the timing of (messhugah) + (George's interruptions) = me as a rythmical god!....🤘....yes rythyms mfs
306. Devin D: The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
307. crossrodde: rational gaze!!!!
308. Fred: Devilution
309. Seth Brundle: Y'all need to do New Millenium Cyanide Christ. It's a bit more in the older style (for variety) and it's a hella trip! Oh, and do the video.
310. Scream Bloody Gore #DeathMetal: Overkill - Horrorscope
311. nunya biznazz: hell yeah
312. The Kiosk: These two songs have that more universal appeal. Also revisiting CAFO now would show you a whole different song.
313. Eff ect: And you didn't even listen to the climax in bleed, with some more time you'll be able to understand and enjoy meshuggah more. Glad you gave them a second chance, nice job you nailed it
314. Titanium Overlord: I've got one for you guys. And you will definitely dig it. Try out the 'karma to burn' song 'twenty nine'. It's packed with Sabbathy groove. Interestingly there are no vocals just jammed out riffing. And they don't name their songs. They number them. In the words of Dutch in predator. DO IT!!!!!! DO IT NAAAOOOOWWW. Haha
315. Josh Tolbert: In Flames! crawling through knives would be a decent starter please, i feel like you guys would like them. i feel like they are a big part of metal you are missing. I havent seen much melodic death from you guys. Been following you guys for years now, first post. I love all your content keep it up!
316. Pie Cat: Acraina - A Glutinous abomination some crazy song dude watch it guys
317. Ice Kold Killa: That's an awesome idea! Definitely do a second listen as a bonus at the end or even as a separate video. But definitely would recommend "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" and "Rational Gaze". Maybe "Lethargica" too!
318. Nick Bagley: Kyle Benz Architects. Yes.
319. Stelios B81: Nightwish -ghost love score (live in wacken)
320. Keith Jackson: I've listened to metal my entire life, listened to some meshuggah a while back but never this one - i absolutely loved it. For someone just getting into metal, I'd suggest "Anodyne Sea" by "As I Lay Dying"
321. Teodor Voicu: This channel just keeps getting better
322. Mayo Trooper: Gojira wolf down to earth
323. Branden Montgomery: Also, I love the fact you guys are slowly swallowing the metal pill. Its brings a smile to my face because it reminds me of slowly swallowing the same pill.
324. Duane Pratt: Decapitated - Spheres of Maddness
325. madeofwax92: Totally disagree with your comment on universal appeal. You're assuming that the goal of a musician should be to gain a following, but I would argue that it is to create whatever art they want to create. If artists only wanted the largest following, there would be no metal.
326. Dudeatrix: Anaal Nathrakh In the constellation of the black widow Amon Amarth
327. Brian Morris: Sick band live
328. PHILLIP HICKS: Venom ... At War With Satan pls
329. Jonathan Potts: With metal like this you have to look at the vocals as more of another instrument and less about the words
330. James Mauldin: Monuments - Stygian Blue - Anup Sastry Drum Cover. Excellent gateway song into modern djent, and I think you guys will really dig Anup Sastry's style of grooving on the drums.
331. Sassy the Sasquatch: L'enfant Sauvage! George has probably listened to it already though
332. Testiclopse: Hey! There are so many good metal bands that you guys haven't reacted to yet. Try this one: *Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion* Make sure to filter by HD and watch in HD. PLEASE and thank you.
333. Brandon Holmes: This is commentary not reaction
334. hakkenarsk: Haha, it's so great watch you guys dive deep into stuff like Meshuggah, Cannibal Corpse and so on. Kudos! Cool that you revisited Bleed as well, it is a true benchmark for metal. Now, a really interesting band for you to look into is Zeal & Ardor "Don't You Dare". And after you've listened to it, check out the backstory for the band. It'd be so interesting to see/hear your reactions to it.
335. Jaime Irles: Ryan nailed it here -> The heartbeat of metal. What true metal elitist love.
336. Manuel Contreras: Cult of luna- in awe of
337. Nick Zoulias: Orbit culture redfog
338. John Medved: Please review studio version of Harlequin Forest by Opeth. I promise you'll like it. All of your competitors are rating it. You guys are better. I've been a metal head since like '81 but I've never really liked Cookie Monster vocals that much either. Michael from Opeth is a bit different and is much more tolerant. Plus, his clean voice is amazing.
339. Irish Metal Archive: AAAAHHAAAAHAHAHAHA.... Brilliant description....
340. awookieandagerman: In fact, doorstoppers do djent
341. mooneagle31: Black Sabbath- NIB
342. OEMR: I remember forcing myself to listen to meshuggah albums at work. Found them too repetitive at first but "dancers to a discordant system" got me hooked and now I listen to them daily
343. Eric Christman: Hell yes
344. Benjamin Clark: Honestly, that whole album is a masterpiece from start to finish.
345. keflexx: Why did nobody vote for - I - ? that would be the most insane thing!
346. Aziz Alawadhi: Polyphia - OD
347. johnmuir2020: black sabbath - black sabbath FULL ALBUM review would be amazing!!!! Since you guys haven't reacted to anything from it yet, and since it's one of the godfather albums of metal, I think if anything deserves a full reaction its THAT ALBUM!! Make it happen guys!
348. Geriatric FecalPhiliac: DEMI-URGE.....say it like " Demmy Urge"
349. F Girão: Future Breed Machine is the most groovy song from Meshuggah, you guys would like it a lot
350. Cryoshock: The "door spring sound" is the bass guitar!
351. MikMogus: i appreciate you including the bleed revisit
352. Wheezing Grampus: I'm so glad you went back to Bleed too. 👌 I've loved Meshuggah for years, since the late 90s when I first heard Future Breed Machine and the Destroy, Erase, Improve album. I always envisage some industrial engine when I listen them. They also use weird time signatures which maybe adds to that mechanical vibe I get. Enjoyed that reaction gentlemen! 😁
353. 40Hurtz: the contortionist part 1 or 2
354. TRIPxCORE: This is exactly why I recommended this song 100 times, because I knew you would "catch the groove," just as you said.
355. Nathaniel Lee: Most of the time I agree with you guys, but the "universal appeal" thing doesn't hit me right. I don't think someone like Loreena McKennitt (find the Highwayman) should try to appeal to the pop crowd just like I don't think Meshuggah should try to appeal to the pop crowd. Sometimes someone is talented enough to have their niche and still make their living. Still cool to have that opinion, just not the way I think it always needs to be.
356. B B: Should do clockworks!!
357. Frankzoar: The door stopper analogy is life.
358. Pedro Mendes: Damn boys, I've been requesting Rational Gaze for a while, but I actually like that you did Demiurge now, because I really feel that you will like Rational Gaze more than Demiurge. Give it a try lads :D and keep up the amazing work! Edit: The last two minutes of this video, you genuinely were having a typical metalhead discussion regarding musicality and the highlighting, in your own way, the differences between two songs from the same band regarding the musical aspect and the technical aspect of it they not always overlap and furthermore the likableness of both of these songs varies a lot when you are dissecting the groove or dissecting the technical aspecs of it. Again, kudos to you both!
359. Mathew Clute: Amorphis - The Bee
360. JamesFenczik: demi-urge. essentially a god.
361. Fredy Flores: Iced Earth - Wolf Deafheaven - Canary Yellow Kamelot - Karma
362. Dainshakti Jahajeeah: Please react to Soulfly-Moses. Respect from Mauritius 🇲🇺
363. Alex Huffman: Perpetual black second!
364. Любомир Колев: Lost In Vegas, I raise my hat to you! I've been waiting patiently for ages if you'd come back to Meshuggah. Absolutely loved your analysis! Your attention to detail and appreciation of technique and groove is incredible! Did you know that Jens Kidman (the vocalist) intentionally changes his vocals during writing so that they are more percussive and fitting to the groove/riffs? And you noticed that! Kudos and greetings from Bulgaria!
365. M McBride: If I've said it once I've said it 23,763,185,003 times. The groove at the beginning of "Combustion" is the soundtrack of my life! It's the perfect intro music to an MMA fight! You guys might check out a live performance, as well. They're incredible live. Just give it a chance.
366. Metal Head666: Do bombenhagel, splitting the atom, or through toxic veins by sodom.
367. Jordan Cornell: Nah, man you gotta go bleed by these guys, then you’ll see the light
368. slovak4life1991: Listen to some Unearth.
369. cobei donovan: I think the next meshuggah song should be new millenium cyanide christ. That one is more vastly appealing and still goes hard. Definitely check out the video too
370. Paradiddle44: The contortionist.
371. TheAbortionMachine: Every Meshuggah song is a “head-nodding” song
372. spud g: The instrumental off of Meshuggah's "Contradictions Collapse" album. Old school.
373. Jethro Tool: David Mathes fair enough, there’s always Dream Theater and BTBAM
374. Cesar Premont: I would love to see these guys react to “Rational Gaze” by Meshuggah. I think they would especially appreciate the lyrics.
375. Jason Smith: Everything metal has evolved with tuned down guitars or dropped six strings 7 strings and I'm pretty sure meshuggah plays 8 strings with That you guys should give architects a listen tuned down a bit cleaner tone
376. Uncle Bad Touch: Dream Evil - Immortal
377. Rodrigo Miranda: My favorite metal album of all time... Inspiring... Original... Creative... Meshugah has the same problem as many metal bands of this age... It seems uninspired, so repetitive, so lazy.
378. Chuck H: Thall.
379. MatthiasCorvinu: I was very amused by how Bill Burr described Meshuggah and being at one of their shows. I recommend listening to that.
380. Daniel Grisham: Haha.. This is kind of what happened to me. It really took me a long while to get into this band. Now, hardly anything else does it for me. This is just the heaviest metal I've heard. I'm still not a fan of the vocals, but I can put up with it. Good stuff. I'm glad you guys gave them another shot. They're definitely not a first-listen band.
381. Bru Master: The track is pronounced "Demi urge" like "Demi" Lovato and having an "urge." It's a concept in Gnostic theology and in some of Plato's stuff
382. Patrick Williamson: very cool video guys, you know bleed was pretty much just a technical exercise from one of the guitarists to improve his speed. It also took the drummer 2.5 years to be able to play it from start to finish
383. Peccath: You're gonna be goddamn metalheads by 2020 :D
384. Deadlock 1988: https://youtu.be/qJrEBqTCK50
385. ChipmunkAsylum: sledgehammermessiah yeah but have you listened to all 21 minutes of I?
386. Andrew Edgar: I've been periodically spamming you with Knocked Loose requests but I still feel like you'd love Deadringer or Oblivion's Peak.
387. Matt Jaccino: this video genuinely makes me happy. seeing them come this far and learning to enjoy the metal genre and go back and listen to something again and like it more. thats awesome
388. Daniel: Yes that song is incredible
389. LibertyX S: Please do another Lamb of God song!!!!!
390. Mark M: I could justify any Soilwork song, lol. They are all awesome. Let This River Flow would be great, As We Speak, Deliverance is Mine, Bastard Chain, Observation Slave, Whispers and Light, or one of my personal favorites Vesta. I just know that Father and Son overall would make them immediately make Soilwork a favorite of theirs. Chainheart is of course amazing, but the lack of Bjorn's cleans counts that one out. They need to hear how beautiful his voice is and how great his growls are.
391. TadhgRiordan: This 100%
392. Mili Maximus: "Getting Meshuggah" from listening to 2 songs of theirs, and just one listen on each song. This is a rather superficial approach to really "getting" anything. This would be like saying you "get Tolkien" having read a single chapter of The Hobbit.
393. ballekreft: Children of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows! Some of the greatest guitar work in metal!
394. maduro sancocho: U guys have to give meshuggah 1 more shot but it has to be from their album destroy erase improve... It's a completely different sound from the later albums and maybe more "accessible" to listen to as an introduction to them.
395. christian stephens: It’s cool to see y’all went back to Bleed to test the water. Glad y’all like it more this time around. I agree that Bleed was too hard to introduce y’all to, but I’m glad y’all came back. I like Bleed over Demiurge.
396. OmegaBlacc: +rorz999 Meshuggah is my favorite band but I also listen to plenty of DnB and deep Dubstep (not the mid-range Transformer music). These guys have a real groove and impeccable rhythm. Add the detuned 8-strings and constant low end and it's not surprising that it's in your wheelhouse.
397. UnlimitedAuthority: One of the best metal songs ever.
398. robin singh: Do Be'lakor
399. Kelly Redlinger: Ever since the nothing album they've gone down hill for me... Their earlier stuff is way better
400. Danny Cheesums: Excellent analysis!
401. mvunit3: Amen martini1179 \m/! And about Metallica - And to George and Ryan; Kirk Hammett of Metallica is a HUGE Meshuggah fan and has joined them on stage (which is on YOUtube). They have HUGE respect from many fans and musicians, but again, its not for everyone, and its definitely not for those that want to stay in the mainstream. But Metal was always supposed to "piss off" people :p and hopefully get people out of their comfort zone. . . . been a fan since 1995 :). Btw martini - "Thank you and your correct analysis for existing" reply . . . BigdubtheGreat's comment was a "compliment" and an agreement to YOUR posting ;). Just an FYI \m/.
402. Craig Burghardt Jr: You have to react to any Architects song. They just dropped a new album called “Holy Hell”
403. Ian Flanagan: Listen to unsung by helmet you should also try flood by tool
404. ssbsnb1: Roadrunner United-In the fire!!!!
405. WebsterA: Now that you guys have done Meshuggah's _only_ _two_ normal songs..
406. Mario Camillo: How y'all not give these boys rational gaze to start?
407. Adventure Escape: This sounded like a garbage truck rolling end over end down hill.
408. New Frontier Business: The song is pronounced Demi-Urge as it sounds. The Demi-Urge is basically the devil portraying himself in this World as God. The idea is that this World is a prison planet and our physical manifestation is actually bondage to the Demi-Urge. Basically there is no God here, just the Demi-Urge. Its rooted in Gnosticism.
409. Hugo Desrosiers-Plaisance: Artist: Spiral Architect Song: Cloud Constructor Give that a go, guys!
410. Yahia Merrad: Hi. Juste to say it check for meshuggah's dancers to a discordant system. This song is really incredible. The riff is juste perfect, the lyrics are meaningful. I think that u'll like it. A follower. Thank u.
411. Anthony Lovell: so glad you went back to bleed after listening to demiurge
412. Ohwahahahahah: You really should have listened to Rational Gaze... especially the Wolf of Wall Street video lol
413. Seth Skinner: Meshuggah is overrated. Just listen to Gojira.
414. Raphael Ber.: Check out Leprous - The Price
415. Raoul Duke: You have to give Primus a second chance. To Defy the Laws of Tradition! This song really defines who they are
416. Andrew Bowen: Or the iron maiden song
417. V N: wheres cemetery gates
418. Mark Wrenn: Yes. Please.
419. Dog Is Not Amused: LionSword 91 I like that one but I think Perpetual Black Second is heavier
420. AbsolutVodka04: Executioners Tax
421. StuntcatTV: That doorstopper comparison was on point :D
422. Cory Allmon: Again brothers.....rob zombie, mars needs women. Hell, any rib zombie man!
423. Samuel Kaluzny: Great review again guys :) please try something from Lost Horizon (i.e. Highlander (The One) or Pure)
424. Tom Jr: +Bark Lord of the Sith Both versions are great, but Opeths is a tad "artsy". I would go with Obituary.
425. MrRefreshinglygood: Great work fellas . Dont agree with the universal appeal though. This music isnt for everyone and we like it that way
426. Bryle: You guys have heard a lot of subgenres of metal but I've yet to see much, if any, modern Metalcore. Architects - Death is Not Defeat or As I Lay Dying - My Own Grave are an excellent intros into that style.
427. James Crider: Tbh I'd like to see 'Giants' or maybe 'Isa'.
428. Sugar Shane: Djent is a rhythmic and percussive guitar style of playing.
429. Sk3l3t0IV: I would love to see your reaction to Septicflesh.
430. Ian Thomas: Do EMMURE
431. Gearoid Walsh: Do Not Look Down it's by far the grooviest Meshuggah song
432. Marco S: Rings Of Saturn!!
433. Drew Knepley: This shit is fire for exercising
434. Jason Cantrall: You guys would have liked rational gaze much better. Just saying.
435. Balder Edda: Nice to see black guys listening to some music that doesn't promote being a criminal piece of shit. Music like hippidyhoppedy and rape music. The type of shit that has no reason to exist except for creating and promoting the lowlife lifestyle.
436. Chirag Chittar: Guys the bleed version that you reacted to last time wasn't the complete version. Hope you react to the complete one
437. Michael Zeigler: The time has come. You are ready. Lowlands by Gojira. Also, its Demi-urge, a reference to Gnosticism :-)
438. PilferTheLightOfDawn: Metallica - Disposable Heros.
439. S 8 10: Anything by the gods themself.... SUFFOCATION
440. loudbill: Daughters - The Reason They Hate Me
441. neuroticgothguy: River Of Nihil -Where the Owl Know My Name #metalsaxophone
442. Alex Smith: BRO, "Fire From The Gods - Excuse Me".... Rap, Metal, & Reggae influenced vocals. It beats. Do it.
443. Patrick Shepherd: Hey guys! Been a while since I commented. I still say internal primates forever by mudvayne is perfect for you guys. It's groovy, the drums are awesome, the vocalist does both singing and screaming. You all would love it! And I haven't seen much mudvayne on here yet. I'd really love to see that one; you guys are so much fun!
444. kristoff marlow: It's groovy and jazzy... don't judge the book by its cover
445. Martijn Busink: Meshuggah and trap on a similar groove to me. Check out Polyphia and Hacktivist too, the latter is more grime oriented but the downtuned atonal riffing man, the double kicks in trap, it all taps into the same slow groove.
446. Juan Carlos Ascanio: Entombed “Wolverine Blues”
447. Notch Johnson: Metalhead transformation growing stronger! :>
448. Growlizing: Very cool you gave Bleed a short listen. And now the intro brings that little grin to your faces! :)
449. Chris_htepO -: Awww Future Breed Machine would've been so good for y'all.
450. WillJM81280: Did I mention Pantera?
451. Brian Longoria: Flesh and the power it holds by Death
452. oontur- mench: Ratcliff His username is the name of a demon; maybe he’s angry?
453. chilbome: While there’s other bands such as Shadows Fall, Black Label Society, Children of Bodom (old Bodom), and many many other bands, I think you should react to Impending Doom’s “Death, Ascension, Resurrection.” You’d be surprised with the lyrics. So once again IMPENDING DOOM “DEATH, ASCENSION, RESURRECTION”
454. Lyka HD: Can I get get some love for American Headcharge!!?
455. DylanCliff222: These Colours Don't Run - Architects. Please xo
456. Jesse Hubbard: In my opinion part of what they are known for, as far as I am concerned, is the odd timing on all their songs. To be able to kinda be all over the place but still keep that "nod" your talking about.
457. ElectroWench: its cool that you dont QUITE get meshuggah. its ok.
458. 9eCn3: Amorphis - Sampo
459. Chris O.: Will check them out. Thank you sir!
460. imthaSh1t: Review mona lisa album please!!
461. Scott Uleman: Black label society fellas, please and thank you!
462. DurtMcCurt: Kreator- Agents of Brutality!
463. Metalhead Joe: Glad you hit Meshuggah again! I voted for this and I'm surprised you didn't like the groove more but still glad you gave them another shot
464. Mike Oxlong: I think it's time for Between the Buried and me! The Coma machine would be the best intro to the band, and it's a good representation of what the band has to offer. Much love guys.
465. evilvet: You HAVE to see em live. They are an absurdly tight, well oiled machine. On record it seems inhumanly impossible without being overproduced in studio to do live, but boy do they. It's sick opera.
466. Blame it on my A.D.D: Terrible music
467. Ehsan Rahee: Symphony X - The Walls of Babylon
468. keaton kinsey: now you can react to the song "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" by Meshuggah
469. Jovan Nestorovic: !!!_meshuggah - combustion
470. Curtis Ransford: The moment i heard Bleed... Man, the volume knob couldn't go high enough! Tomas got an award for hid drumming on that track and its well more than deserved. What i appreciate about the newer Meshuggah is their bold patterns, and a little bit of a break, and more melody that draws you into a trance-headbang state. Seeing them live is otherworldy and its almost transcendent!
471. Rafa: Roundabout or Starship Trooper would be dope!
472. butters226: Can't believe this one won over cyanide, gaze, and company
473. Doug McGinnis: COME ON GUYS! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! AC/DC - LET THERE BE ROCK
474. Matt Haun: I really wish you all would do Cult of Luna's "In Awe Of". Amazing sludge metal
475. Infinite bliss: The two gutarists play with eight string guitars. Six tradional strings and two deeper, heavier gauged strings. The bassist plays a five string bass as opposed to a traditional four string. Heavy bass.
476. Tilaron: My problem with "djent" and other super down-tuned metal is it seems like they're just hiding not being able to play anything interesting behind a dull, noisy tuning. Meshuggah might be on the very top of that scale, but so much of it might as well be white noise.
477. toofastforlove22: The lyrics are so good
478. Angelo Karakasis Jr.: Reacting to old meshuggah is better for these guys. So much more layering and transitions. Most of their recent music is monotonous and hard to sit through imo
479. Brandon Huber: I think when you guys found the trance-like "zone" aspect of the music, you really reached the appeal of Meshuggah. I have always gravitated toward their music because I can get lost in the complex rhythms and find an almost trance or "zone". I think Meshuggah made it clear that it is at least a part of their intention when they gave us an album named obZen. You find an almost zen-like "zone" when you get lost in the obscene.
480. Pajtim Hasani: Elitists can go screw off. The heartbeat of metal is different. You can find it in pure heavy metal bands of NWOBHM(new wave of British heavy metal) and thrash metal bands of the early '80s in the US. Meshuggah is a band known for their mechanical sound with their repetitive parts. It's simply progressive death metal to me. And the "djent" sound came up accidentally as the band stated; they were drunk and were simply goofing around and even apologized for it.
481. sinistergrey3: All Them Witches- When God Comes Back....please! :)
482. connor colquhou: Do obscura - akroasis! Great tech death metal track
483. Kevin Spalding: Heartbeat of metal? I dunno. I know it's kind of a gimmick band, but that'd fall to Dethklok for me.
484. falselight: If you want a good and funny description of why people like Meshuggah, listen to this rant by comedian Bill Burr, he's an amature drummer and went to a Meshuggah show not really liking their recorded music, as a drummer he "got it" after the one live show. Watch this at you're free time, it's a funny listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS9_p7zNASQ
485. tony baloni: Do some Attila like backtalk or pizza
486. Breathing Theory: You unlock Meshuggah when you max out your "BRUTAL" stat
487. ThePassionateGinger: Curious to hear your thoughts on Slipknot's The Heretic Anthem or Disasterpiece. Imo it's from their best album.
488. guntbox: i still think Converge might be too much for them
489. DarkSoul1993: Elder - Compendium or The Sword - Arrows in the Dark
490. SoWhatBros: Meshuggah its the final boss of the heavy metal category
491. Levi Johnson: You are correct about the metal elites. Meshuggah IS the shit.
492. ShawReck: This has gotta be their most bone-headed song. And Bleed is the most jarring. If you want that real real groove, Rational Gaze was probably the true winner. Great video guys.
493. Ohwahahahahah: And Straws Pulled at Random and Stengah
494. Avarice21: +He YouTube Me I think you completely misunderstood the original comment.
495. moffe2k: Machine Head - Darkness Within, second chance time!
496. Randy Bowlin: I'll be honest, I hit 'like' before I even watched because I've been waiting for Meshuggah's 2nd chance!
497. braadwurst11: Death - spirit crusher / sodom - agent Orange
498. WillJM81280: Oh yes, Pantera as well.
499. JAGodard: Hey guys! Do a Holidays episode, and check out some Metal Christmas songs. "We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year" has Dio singing a metal version of "God Rest He Merry Gentlemen". How can you say no? It's Dio!
500. Eba Sal: +Mark M personally I'd go with Petrichor By Sulphur...but that might be a bit much haha Or Black Star Deceiver...telling them Devin Townsend does guest vocals might entice them some more. And they both happen to be my favourite songs from Soilwork haha
501. Jared Sanda: Dillinger escape plan- Black bubblegum. One of my favorite bands. Even if its not this song you should give them a try. Ps you guys are dope.
502. Sean O'Neill: Y’all should do Black Sabbath - children of the grave. Classic metal band with one of their better offerings
503. Matt Petty: Voice of the voiceless-Heaven shall burn!!!
504. Piano Sequenza: UFO - Rock bottom
505. superdrewster98: Body Hammer
506. Whytheguy 37: The Contortionist - Language Parts 1 and 2 please
507. ali mahmood: I was just rewatching your Bleed reaction the other day and wondering when yall were gunna come back to Meshuggah! So glad you guys did it!
508. John Mehew: Depreciator - Nothing is the dirtiest song in the history of dirt, and it is decently accessible.
509. GBcommander: Katatonia - Dead Letters. Please gentlemen, I don't think you've done Katatonia yet.
510. SloWdaD ox: Dude do a song that is the chaosphere album and earlier. The grooves back then are still the best. There early days they were heavily influenced by the thrash scene and metallica. Chapsphere was still a new step in musical direction for the band. That's just what I think XD
511. Steven Tman: Doorstop Metal!
512. Stuart McMillan: https://youtu.be/HS9_p7zNASQ Bill Burr after weeing Meshuggah live.
513. Ann Bertoli: I love the look of the one on the left hand side judging he's got that look like what the hell...
514. Djentdjent Voidling: Meshuggah is definitely an acquired taste. I didn't love it the first time I listened to it either but now its one of my favorites.
515. Mark M: Father and Son has great drums, good range of vocals, and those slow heavy riffs they love. It's the perfect song for them to start with.
516. Matt 5: Every Time I Die - map change or revival mode
517. Renato Gonzaga: I like how you guys are open minded to all music styles. Most of heavymetal fanbase doesnt think like that. Canibal Corpse is too extreme, even for metal heads. I dont blame u if its not "likeable" hahahahahaa, I really hate that shit
518. StevesSwift: They play 8 strings. Tuned very low. Similar to Animals As Leaders. Meshuggah doesn’t think that they are gjent but they are definitely the god fathers for weird time signatures. So many genres and artists look up to Meshuggah for their creativity and timing!
519. Kaushik Sethunath: Kudos to you guys man, I think its REALLY cool that you revisited Bleed, let alone on camera for us too! I totally get what you mean. Meshuggah were one of the real innovators when it comes to a "different" kind of groove, with the low tuned guitars, and syncopating polyrhythms and things. I think what's awesome is how they have a song like "Bleed", which is just raw, feral, absurd speed, pounding your head in with its sheer technical wizardry, and a then a song like "Demiurge", which is slow, groovy and almost restrained at times. That riff that comes in with the open sustained note still makes me lose my shit every time I hear it. Hearing you listen to both and hear that contrast was awesome. You guys are still the absolute best when it comes to this kinda stuff! So kudos. Off topic, any chance you're ever going to visit some other genres, like say Trip-Hop? Would love hearing you guys talk about some Massive Attack or Portishead!
520. Evan Collins: !!!!! FOREVER- CODE ORANGE !!!!!
521. Kabz: Seeing Meshuggah perform Demiurge and Bleed live is an otherwordly total body experience. It was so intense and hypnotic and they are unbelievably tight as a group. Devin Townsend - Deadhead Live Royal AlbertHall
522. Yoda Man: dimerge is the artisan that gives form to the physical universe. not a god per se, but more along the lines of the higgs-boson
523. sevenlikethenumber: Im a metalhead and i find new metal through your channel!!!
524. christian iniguez: Textures - Old days born a new!
525. Tim Harrison: You guys are totally metal heads now Keep rockin and searchin!!!! 🤘🤘
526. Adam Richardson: Bolt Thrower
527. Andy Woohoo: Demi Urge...
528. S 8 10: That song makes me at least a full four and a half inches!!! Best on the album..
529. arthur trajano: ROYAL BLOOD - LOOSE CHANGE
530. Daniel Michels: In terms of having universal appeal and growing as musicians...many artists really don't care. They are making the music they want to make and that they feel comfortable with and if they have success then great. If not, then they're going to keep doing what they're doing. That attitude is pretty deep and common with punk rock and metal. Meshuggah have always been true to themselves and not tailored their art for how they think it will be received. Meshuggah is very hard for anyone outside of metal to get into. Kudos for giving them a second chance and returning to Bleed. They are some of the most unique musicians in metal and a pioneers. I recommend you give Ne Oblivisacris a second look as well. Libera Part 1, Intra Venus or Eyrie would be great choices. Keep it up fellas!
531. Alexander Lopez: You guys should really review their song called Clockworks, in the near future of course. That song was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year.
532. k0bra 3eak: Bolt Thrower - When Cannons Fade
533. Adam Denison: The door stopper comment...I'm deaddd
534. N1974: Deep Purple : Highway Star...
535. Ben Shandrow: Metallica - Blackened please
536. Chris_htepO -: The fuck? I've never heard of Cyber Metal lol
537. Dale Crossley: Very well said! I can really appreciate the perspective and wished more people were open to discussion about different points of view rather than tearing someone down just because they are different and have different tastes smh. It reminds me of the quote "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle . Meaning, that even if you don't like it personally you can at least try to understand it before reaching a decision. Which is fine. We shouldn't all have the same taste, that would be rather boring imop lol. But at the same time we shouldn't be "judged" for those differences either. Well, unless you take it to the extremes smh lol. Anyways, it's refreshing to see the opposite side of a perspective that I absolutely enjoy. You thought I was going to say love? Right!?! Nope. That sh.....stuff.... is reserved for people "I love" lol. There's a difference imop ;-). I may not always agree with your view but keep doing what you're doing! It's refreshing to see it in this cynical world we live in MUAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA.....'cough'......'choke'. Ok, maybe that was a tad bit too dramatic there :-P lol
538. Patricio Mendez: Ocean Land by Orphaned Land PPPPPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSSEEEEEE. Middle eastern folk + Metal = Great reaction
539. Xanarxses: You dudes should really check out Vildjharta
540. jsunh98: go see meshuggah live. you owe it to yourself
541. louis salmon: Messhuggah gives you stockholm syndrome , at first you dont like it , but the more you are exposed to it the more you like it , and in the end you end up loving it more than a lot of things you used to like .
542. Potadorius: Ov Fire and The Void by Behemoth (React to the Video, please.) A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh by Celtic Frost (React to the Video, please.)

543. sledgehammermessiah: +ChipmunkAsylum who's to say that? Ok I can draw the line, you have to see them live 20 times to qualify... How many would be fans apart from me then 😀
544. OSMON: Great! woke up from a hang over, and your video brightened my wake. Cheers from Colombia!
545. Chris Vieau: I appreciate how knowledgeable you guys are now of metal. It's been fun watching!
546. Brian McAlpine: Wouldn't be so much a second chance they really dug halo lol
547. Niko: Pantera - I’m broken !
548. Randeep Singh: This song got me into Meshuggah. Not bleed.. even though I heard Bleed first.
549. CisforCock: Sadly, most metal "elitists" find Meshuggah unbearable - either because of the rhythmic complexity/lack of skankbeats/blastbeats/etc., the minimalist and/or absurdist approach to writing melodies, or the "core" type screaming vocals. With that said, I KNEW you guys would appreciate Demiurge much more, since it is more approachable than Bleed, with a simpler emphasis on groove. Now You should check out either of these tracks: New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Stenggah, Rational Gaze, Straws Pulled At Random, Spasm, Do Not Look Down, or Clockworks - Either of these tracks will do.
550. Jason Allen: Yes, everyone needs to keep requesting Fear Factory until they finally give them a listen. I honestly don't know why nobody reacts to them.
551. MisterWright: I would like to see another crowbar reaction. THE LASTING DOSE .
552. Zaid Mahmood: It might be pronounced Demi-urge? Not sure
553. Shreyas Mahangade: Meshuggah - Born in dissonance
554. Morgan Aubin: The Contortionist Intuition, Primordial Sound, Godspeed, Clairvoyant, Absolve, Return to Earth All great songs by The Contortionist, who you haaaaaaaave to check out!
555. The Clint Commander: Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation Fleshgod Apocalypse - Epilogue Ne Obliviscaris - Eyrie Darker By Design - My Shrine Of Flesh
556. Sione Teumohenga: It's funny to me hearing you guys be like "yeah I can kiiiinda feel a groove with this" when to me Meshuggah is literally the most indisputably groovy shit ever lol
557. 1994 mathis: 6:38 Ryan. "When that hard riff comes in right there.... THATS HARD :)
558. Brecklyne Lunt: Gates of Babylon by Rainbow please!!!!!!!
559. Jech: Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep of Reason
560. Inchristalone777: Rational Gaze is better though.
561. alex brau: 8 string guitars, the deepest string is a bass string
562. Buddy Kaiser: U just created a new instrument in metal: the doorstop! Please do some more Slipknot! They've got so much great stuff!
563. David Chris: Wintersun “Time”
564. sledgehammermessiah: +ChipmunkAsylum yes "I" is great.
565. kuattto: Great reaction guys. When you have time please give Living Color a chance, they have a style of sound that its not been played very much in the chanel. Cult of personality is a good first song. Shou out from Brazil!
566. Omar Garcia: Guys!!!.. do' Future Breed Machine' from Destroy, Erase, Improve... that's Meshuggah's signature song (Best album in my eyes also).
567. Brayden Ross: Do Black Sabbath or Metallica again
568. Broly: Nightwish - Any song with Floor
569. Clashcor _: Great react guys! Meshugga is great for if you want to listen to an odd time transient beat. It’s got its place. I still think y’all need to hear Between the Buried and Me! I could make a suggestion but you’d need to take a poll, almost every song they’ve made in the last 12 years is great.
570. JMissy 205: Didn't realize you did other genres. This is dope!!!!
571. Tiago V.: Meshuggah is not even djent. The term just sticked to these modern prog metal bands with extended range guitars, like Periphery and Intervals.
572. Rational Gaze: Khemmis - Candlelight
573. BASS2DAFACE: Polyphia - GOAT
574. Xander Martinez: Pravus!!
575. Brandon Holmes: Why not listen to the song first AND THEN comment
576. James Haines-Brand: i love how you guys compared the two songs with the context of listening to other heavy stuff, bleed was suggested too early in your journey
577. Matt Blocker: I really want to see you guys check out Whitechapel, either I, Dementia or The Elitest Ones. Both are really great headbangers with some real groove.
578. Denny Spark: Death - 1000 Eyes
579. Michael Wilburn: The Flesh and the Power it Holds or Spirit Crusher
580. ChipmunkAsylum: TOAOM123 try “Soul Burn”. Pretty cool, slower chugging song. Still heavy but not a blast straight out the gate like most of their songs
581. Mirta Gev: Haken, Leprous
582. Sir Cosumar: YESSSS
583. john delasko: Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat Volbeat
584. Richard Abram: Btw for you guys coming originally from hip hop, to even hear suga, i give credit
585. Homo sapiens: Nah, there are much better songs than that one
586. Matt: I love these cats
587. marchman3000: Rush - Cygnus X-1
588. Benjamin Dreux: Hi guys! It's great you gave Meshuggah a second chance 😁 Maybe it's too much asking but if you'd like to make more specific opinion on this band, please do a last one that is the best balance between their skills, the polyrythms and themusicality : In death is life/in death is death. It is a combo of 2 songs in a row (3 actually... there's an intro) I do believe this song will help you to have a compelete overview on what this dudes can do 🤘🏻 Thank you guys!!
589. Brombit: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013) How come you haven't listened to them, I can't get it :P
590. Freja Ordell: Ooh you guys xD <3 AND PLEASE - "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion". Also a Meshuggah track. Or "Dancers to a Discortant System". They're both some of the greatest in my opinion.
591. drew5555555555555555: Immortal - one by one
592. [WBG] Arty: Oh guys, you really need to do Rudy x 3 by The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. That is some heavy business right there. Keep up the good work!
593. Caleb Fetherlin: Perpetual Black Second is probably their grooviest song. Total head nodding goodness. I beg you guys to do that one. Oh please...
594. Michael Aguirre: A Canadian Technical Death Metal band im getting into and really digging right now.. MARTYR (Nameless, Faceless, Neverborn) is the song that got me hooked, its exceptional and im not into that subgenre, give em a try. cheers
595. ryuman757: Bruh, Swarm!!!!
596. MasterJebbly: People hate Cemetery Gates? That song is my shit. It's irresistible for me and I'm no pedestrian.
597. Andrew Bowen: Esoteric Surgery
598. caden brockbank: Please do Steven Wilson! Drive home (music video)
599. sativus indicatus: Cyanide Christ and rational gaze are a must tho. Better than this song in my opinion.
600. Rogue Geth: Audioslave - Like a Stone
601. Azazoth: Djent is totally based on their sound, and even earlier this year, one of their guitarists actually apologized for his part in it becoming a genre.
602. Scott Anders: Rational Gaze is yo jam
603. Big Murph: There is truly no better groove in metal... once you learn to find that Meshuggah pulse, it's the truth.
604. Jakub Tomša: You're getting ready for Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects 😂
605. blakfloyd: I'm gonna start a gofundme for George's artisanal water budget.
606. steemonkey2000: Rational Gaze is ten times the song this is
607. DRAKEnN342: This is my favorite song by them so far. It's got a hopeless feeling that their other songs don't quite have.
608. mwoky: Try out Soreption. I'm curious to see how you guys feel about technical death metal.
609. mikepshena: It does sound like a door stopper! Lmfao
610. Akerfeldtfan: Lost Horizon- Highlander the One
611. vicegripp: Soulfly - Ritual
612. Brandon Crimmins: It's time for a Black Dahlia Murder reaction! In Hell is Where She Waits for Me Every Rope a Noose Asylum These are all excellent...
613. patti claude: No free thinker here!
614. DeadlyHabit: it's detuined 9 string guitars
615. Nick Drage: Black Sabbath - Into the Void
616. greg maj: TOOL - Wings for Mary Pt.1 & 2
617. OneSekCBeast: Man I feel like I’m different than all other Meshuggah fans. I’m convinced they would not like Rational Gaze and that something like Corridor of Chameleons or ObZen would be perfect for then. I am DEFINITELY in the minority though
618. J Vig: George, saying what comes to mind is kind of the point of a reaction video!
619. Joemylefttoe: Too harsh for my taste buds
620. Yiorgios Vazouras: Great as they are, one ministry song is barely touching the threshold of Industrial Rock/Metal
621. TheJimger: Damn I wish they did Future Breed Machine instead
622. yohoahoyhum: Great video guys, really liked how you revisited Bleed as well. Anyway, for some HEAVY groove, you guys gotta check out SLEEP - HOLY MOUNTAIN.
623. Charles Mudge: Sounds like a door stopper LOL It’s funny because it’s true. I never thought of that after listening to this song for years.
624. Adrian: Do Not Look Down - Meshuggah for me is the most catchy song from them. You can bang/groove your head the whole song. You guys should give it a shot! :D
625. Myke Singleton: Glad you guys got woke! now here's the messugah track for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9LpMZuBEMk
626. prippropro: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Official Live)
627. Ozzy Reynolds: I can't believe this song beat Combustion in the poll.
628. Ryan Murray: Metallica - Blackened
629. One Decade: You guys need to check out One Decade! Instrumental Djent/Metalcore 😁
630. Jesse Bowman: Between the Buried and Me-Selkies
631. NoirTech: I just can't get into Meshuggah, Gorjira and the mushy sounds and vocals. I like black metal vocals because I can hear it as a demon, but Lamb of God sounds like a drunk guy trying to sound tough.
632. Andrew Baker: Demiurge is great but either New Mellinium or Rational Gaze are both must listen meshuggah. Oh well hopefully they try again soon.
633. Michael Wilburn: Stones From the Sky by Neurosis
634. Pajtim Hasani: You must listen to the live version of "Bleed", guys. It's the full song, unlike the official music video. Search out for the drum cam of Tomas Haake video. You'll find the thumbnail.
635. TacticalLumberjack: Man, talk about a groove. This song has grooves for days.
636. metalblood mcdeathburger: No good art comes from comfort
637. Chris_htepO -: +Carlos A. Why?
638. Dark Amyntas: You guys want something unique? Try Khonsu - Toward the Devouring Light. Sci-fi inspired blend of Black/Death/Electronic Metal with lots of melody and groove at times.
639. Daren Olney: Mushroomhead: solitaire unraveling. Great song and band.
640. Cultof Ian: Pantera- domination
641. aldersmoke1: "It's not their intention." Dead on. This band expects you to come to them, 100%. They create something so unique that they have zero interest in diluting it. It's either for you, or it's not. And here's the thing: they've got a high level career. The crowd is there. And frankly doesn't care whether the rest of the world comes along.
642. Marko Preradovic: Meshuggah is groove...PERIOD You guys are fuckin cool. Keep it up
643. Zphinx: You should try giving Rammstein a listen even though you don't speak German (their lyrics might be a little basic but in several of their songs they are a comment on society). The German language just lends itself so well to metal. As starter songs I would go for: Ich Tu dir we, Sonne, Mann gegen mann or Keine lust. Keep up doing a great job on your journey through the Metal-verse.
644. Gardiens Nostalgiques: Now if you're starting to dig Meshuggah. you really should try Gorguts, a french-canadian band that is a masterpiece in the Progressive Death Metal Really hard and powerful band!!
645. thossi09: A good song, but it's already pretty well-established that they like Gojira - they've already had two or three of their songs and liked them. So, while I'd like to hear what they'd have to say about it, I'm pretty sure they'd be positive towards it just from knowing the band's name.
646. Jim M: That, or the "I" EP. When that song gets to around the 7-7:30 mark, I dare you to not headbang to that.
647. CuccoBilli: Poison Idea - Just To Get Away
648. sledgehammermessiah: As long as you dont review Future breed machine, you dont know meshuggah...
649. Wheezing Grampus: May I request Diabetic Feet or Clockwork by Kowloon Walled City please? Thank you.
650. Raymond Cardella: Black Label Society- Stillborn
651. fourclawrider: yeah they've done death metal and metal core and djent but never true melodic death metal, which is the missing piece of the puzzle, though countless people across many videos have recommended at the gates - slaughter of the soul to them. Early soilwork and arch enemy are my personal favorites, also the crown, the album eternal death is a masterpiece.
652. kalle kanin: Bill Burr have a video he talks about his experience at a live show with Meshuggah. Check IT out
653. nick also nick: I'd be overjoyed if they hear it.. I'm worried Sumerian wasnt so kind...
654. Toonami Aftermath: Meshuggah loves to take you into a trance with some of these long instrumental sections, one of their things
655. j.r.woodworth 44: It's not a bad habit George, that's why I dig you guys!
656. pyroth309: Need to do Amon Amarth Second Chance. Twilight of the Thunder God or First Blood.
657. Justin Buchanan: Insomnium please!!!!!
658. Matthew G: OHHHHHHH SHIT
659. Supplanter: If you guys want to hear heavy and truly impressive drumming watch Infant Annihilator - Cuntcrusher. Either the song or the drum playthrough - both are absolutely insane. Try not to judge by the name lmao
660. manicospic: Happy that meshuggah doesnt even try to check that universal box... Would ruin everything, meshuggah Just created what they created, a whole New genre, being Who they are.
661. Hauntr: Definitely!
662. Colton Hamilton: You guys need to do Beyond Creation
663. TB 7788: react to Lights Out by Royal Blood
664. darkfollow bosser: the dillinger escape plan- farewell mona lisa
665. asd sd: I was thinking "By The Ton", i've been wondering why people don't suggest it much. The riffs in the midsection are absolutely crushing
666. TheIndiferrenceEpoch: all the yes 🤘🏼
667. addikt: I love how you guys took a second listen to a bit of Bleed.
668. MrRandomGamevideos: Can't believe you guys haven't checked out Rammstein yet. Most of their songs are in german but you have to listen to Du Hast
669. Andrew Coker: U should do the band After Burial and the song Carry On another band that's Djent u can groove to and the vocals is clean and hard so u can understand his vocals plz u guys trust me.on this one
670. Mista Jerka: Do some skyharbour! The Constant, Allure, Evolution
671. Alex Summers: or Moonshield or Triggered
672. Tom Jr: I've requested that one several times. Long overdue.
673. kungfubam 69: Whitechapel : elitist ones Guys please check this out, band specifically, song is heavy and groovy
674. Patricio Gonzalez: Explosia
675. Jordan Mayer: Ryan your totally correct.
676. marvelmaniac88: Chevelle - Saferwaters
677. ThrashManPoint: Yes finally!
678. Devin S: Skinny puppy - pro-test
679. Atticus Brent: I always appreciate when you step out and review something heavy like Meshuggah. I definitely think MonstroCity would be more up your alley in terms of groove and syncopation.
680. Brendon Struck: You guys have to react to Architects! Doomsday, Hereafter, or Royal Beggars are good choices.
681. samuel shelton: Christ*
682. The Devil Wears Supreme: Any Gary Clark JR
683. rorz999: +OmegaBlacc sounds like we wil the same kind of music bro, that's the type of dubstep I like too )in fact I described it as 'deep dub' in my comment because I didn't want people to get the wrong I idea if I typed 'dubstep'). You're right in that there are parallels between that kind of music and the bass-heavy groove that Meshuggah bring
684. speakdeath: Gods of rapture is good. I don't know about this shit
685. Shawn Mackes: Please for the love of all that is holy.
686. David Ultsh: Sepultura- “come back alive”
687. Popcorn 82: If you guys want a metal song that you would actually put on your playlist, check out Fear Factory, Descent. You won't regret it.
688. Steven Isaak: He nailed it with his description.
689. Neutral Gravity: Destroy. Erase. Improve. has some awesome jazzy parts in some of those songs
690. Micke Niklasson: React to Arch Enemy - "The eagle flies alone" and Nightwish - "Ghost love score official live video".
691. Emil Rasmussen: Dimmu Borgir - Renewal Ethereal Kingdoms - Endings In Flames - (This is Our) House
692. A box of Soap: Could y'all do Northern Fires (Guernica) by Silent Planet? Combines some incredible lyrics and flow with some crushingly heavy riffage :)
693. Bryan Naranjo: Loved this upload guys. I'm really digging the idea of going back to the first song you heard after your second listen (from an artist you may not have liked)
694. Coradinimuay: Jesus Christ, now I have to rush home to watch this hahhaha
695. Brandon Holmes: How do people watch these videos? Pausing the song every 10 second to jabber? No ty
696. Josh Threeton: the callback to Bleed was clutch guys.
697. Thomas Harmon: BLACK TOUGUE- Second death. Youll love it.
698. Bill Munny: I wonder if you guys are ready for Fallujah yet? If you are then check out the song scar queen or the night prevails
699. Marc Edwards: +Aakash Balaji it's not the first time he's been in trouble for it. He may not be racist, but there's enough there to stay away. I don't know the guy personally so he may in fact not be racist, but still, if someone says they'll avoid his music because of it, then fair call.
700. nothingdefaced: Who the heck is suggesting these Meshuggah songs??? Stop suggesting songs as if these guys are Meshuggah fans already! They gotta hear beginner Meshuggah like Future Breed Machine or something off None
701. allenro1: 4:45😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎
702. Arcsector: So glad you guys liked Demiurge and came back to Bleed. If you wanna go to something insane, you gotta check out combustion or Obzen.
703. Stephen Catalano: Dream theater - The Glass Prison
704. Deadlock 1988: You need try hactivist itse meshuggah whit rap
705. The Dark Power: Very interesting to hear you guys go back and listen to Bleed again. I'm a die hard metal fan and while I respect Meshuggah I'm not a huge fan, personally I need a little more melody than just out and out aggression. But it's certainly true that jumping straight into the heavy end can make things a little inaccessible. Slowly building up to the heavy stuff is probably an easier path!
706. ChipmunkAsylum: TOAOM123 yeah i see, Future Breed Machine goes into a lot of different parts that one’s pretty good. Or you could try listening to “I” that song is 21 minutes long haha
707. t_traspis: and Ten Tonne Skeleton
708. Ru: I'd prefer Slaves shall serve 😃
709. The Lurning Curve: When you started talking about “growing” and becoming more universal, appealing to audiences outside your genre, I immediately thought of Metallica. There are those in the metal community that consider them sell-outs. As a way of comparison you should react to any song on “Kill ‘Em All” and see how far they’ve evolved.
710. Kevin Porp: What do you guys think about those suffering with crippling depression? (Don't care what the people in the comments have to say)
711. Bark Lord of the Sith: Metallica imho hasn't released anything worth listening to in 30 years cept for maybe 2-3 songs. Never got into IM all that much. I tend to listen to Opeth a lot, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendancies, Dream Theatre, Tool, Aggaloch, ect, ect. Some of the older stuff does sound dated now but i think that might have to do with the production moreso than the material. Old Ozzy/Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Hendrix. i feel the same about. All great material just not the best production value in comparison to what's available today. Not that anyone did a bad job, just that tech has improved so greatly over the past 50 years.
712. Seraphonic: You guys need to do the godfathers of doom metal. My Dying Bride. A few songs... All Swept Away, The Prize of Beauty, The Dreadful Hours. 😊
713. MalfaiteurCraven: I've been thinking about it, and you know what I think these guys might be ready for. Nymphetamine fix by Cradle of Filth. It would certainly be better than one of their older songs. A lot of time when people vote for songs from these older songs they either vote for their favorite or instinctively go for one of their older songs thinking that's the best way to introduce the band, not putting any thought into what might be the most accessible.
714. Jason Smith: Helmet inventing all the good riffs for your delectation. Wilma's rainbow or unsung.
715. James Barron: Soilwork - Father and son, watching the world go down
716. Corey Moranda: Please do more Tool! Jambi, grudge, vicarious all great songs you would dig
717. Morgan Crabtree: If you guys like groove, I really think you should give Gozu a shot. Particularly the song "The People vs. Mr. T"
718. 40Hurtz: Awh I wish you got new millenium cyanide christ ,its such a groovy song
719. Amminidab: Yes! Thank you so much for listening to these guys again. Thank you so much for all these videos, so glad I found you guys during my last deployment. Much love.
720. J.T.88: Metal Church - Badlands
721. Dan Bosco: I am so glad y'all checked out this track! This is 100% a better introduction to Meshuggah, theres just a lot more melody and smooth grooves than Bleed. In regards to the point about artists should try to be universal, I think in a sense you're right, but I think there is an inherent universal appeal in art, because all art is an attempt to express a feeling all humans can have. From a financial perspective, you are totally right, you're not giving yourself room to grow if you're not making an attempt to appeal to a wide audience, but also that limits the art humanity will ever create. We need artists to create without the audience in mind because it bears fruit to a whole new world that wouldn't be accessible to the entirety of the world on face value. I thought the comparison between Black Thought and Metallica was so smart, and spot on, and to take it a step further, just think if the Wu hadn't gone out for their record deal where each member could pursue a solo career and instead gave into industry demands for their contracts. Because Wu Tang wanted to do something no one ever did before, and because they didnt care about pleasing their audience, in this case label execs, we have a group that not only changed how we think about Hip Hop but also how we think of the business end of it.
722. beers8049: Great video guys! I got so excited to see you guys react to Meshuggah again!!!
723. najtrows: btw, really fun to see you guys getting deeper and getting an understanding about the music even if you don't love it you seem to be able to see where it comes from :)
724. Matt Livingston: Ozzy Osborne “no more tears”!
725. Regnar Bensin: metal elitists and Meshuggah are kinda ehhh, theyd probably go for the first 3 albums if anything
726. JQ LLC: Bleed is the greatest song of the 21st Century.
727. mick4316: Meshuggah is hard, heavy, but they groove. Like no other band. Future breed machine has a part where the singer, Jens, pretty much rapping his vocals. One of the first to do it.
728. Dmitri Davidovicth: Manowar - Bridge of Death
729. Pekka Huovinen: I love you! All I have to say to this.
730. metaldad1974: Do not look down has a much better groove!
731. Darnell Willison: Pantera - Domination!
732. Fundamentalist American.: Can’t stand it.
733. ZeRo: Tetrastructural Minds by Vektor Welcome Home by King Diamond Spasm by Meshuhggah
734. ManaMusicReactions: One of my favorite reaction channels. you guys are very open minded and appreciate other kinds of music, Very cool to see!
735. kyler oliver: +Daniel Agramonte cockroach king is the "one hit wonder" but i dont agree its not like the rest of hakens catalogue it and i feel the guys would enjoy puzzle box more
736. BPhillipsDrummer: thecrazynoemad building on what you said (George mentioned guitar tone): the guitars Meshuggah use, in addition to having 8 strings, also have extended range scales (normally the scale is about 25.5”, give or take (depends on the guitar)). While it doesn’t affect the *pitch* of the string, a longer scale on a guitar will make lower tunings sound cleaner...
737. Tammy Zepp: Rammstein "Du Riechst So Gud"or "Du Hast" seriously please do yourselves a favor. You've gone down some serious rabbit holes but are missing this huge name that should hit all your buttons.
738. run_gavagai_run: So glad you guys circled back to Bleed in this video.
739. jeremy b: gj.
740. Jonathan Keeler: You guys should have a podcast.
741. Neil Brinsdon: Conan - Total Conquest
742. Errefxul: I saw you liked the slow parts of Freezing moon, you need to listen to some slow metal stuff like doom metal sludge or post-metal. Like Sleep, Neurosis, Isis, Cult of Luna, etc
743. Aesir Loki: Devin Townsend - Stormbending
744. OnTheRoadcast: I agree!
745. ThrashManPoint: After the Burial - Neo Seoul
746. Daniel Johnson: Counterparts- Bouquet
747. handicapitation: +jsunh98 IDK I think the video of them jamming out playing "Air Instruments" along with the song makes it impossible not to get into a groove with. And I disagree about the quality. IMHO, Chaosphere is on par from a recording quality standpoint as all their later albums, and the songwriting was much better. Just my opinion though.
748. jaketurner584: Been watching yall since practically the beginning and seriously the amount yall have grown in the rock/metal genre lingo and whatnot is amazing! I love how youve grown to actually know what youre talking about to an extant and can appreciate every genre. As always, much love to you guys, keep rocking!
749. Dalton Crane: i’m a fan of Meshuggah myself and i would %100 agree with what you said that Meshuggah really only appeals to fans of the metal genre as a whole. it wont appeal to casual fans or people into the not so “extreme” styles of the genre. theyre definitely a niche band
750. Antonio Echeverría: Actually Your opinion is a fact.
751. Ocean King: Hey guys been months since i visited, time for Cattle Decapitation ..song ..Prophets of Loss.
752. Gluon PA: Prong - snap your finger snap your neck
753. meneertje25: Seeing meshuggah live is one of the most brutal experiences in my life. Great vid!
754. Eirik Folkedal: Haha! As a Meshuggah fan, I totally agree on your door stop analogy. :D I bet the guys in Meshuggah would agree.  If you watch the New Milennium Cyanid Christ video or any of their documentary films (like Knövelmetal), you'd understand that these guys don't take themselves too seriously and have a sense of humor.
755. najtrows: Check out "Vildhjarta - Dagger"
756. Zachary Lindsay: Disillusion in a discordant system - Acrania
757. Kristian H: Bloodmeat has way too many prog change ups haha
758. Danny Crowley: id love for them to review BTBAM but anything 10+ minutes long will lose them...im thinking Dim Ignition, Millions, Astral Body, Selkies...stuff like that
759. Mr. Orange: Hopefully you guys get to "born of osiris"
760. ratburger: Fear Factory - Replica Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama
761. alexmackzie: It's so fascinating to see you going from being almost immediately pushed back by bleed, and now seeing how: "yeah, I can definitely see how someone could like this". you are no longer being immediately overwhelmed, but you are able to pick apart the nuances in what is a really heavy song. Now do me a favour and listen to Leprous :D Anything live from rockefeller. my favs are Acquired Taste and Rewind. They have a unique sound and their live sound is even better than the album imo.
762. W.A.M Gaming: Check out Mushroomhead - Solitare Unraveling they are like the “rivals” of slipknot. They are two different bands so it would be great to see which one you like better
763. Octacilio lino neto: Lamb of god again
764. Lobossumi: I like to thank you guys for showing me Bleed. I love that song.
765. Kristen Muller: I feel you guys, esp when Ryan was like 'I almost feel the groove', and George was like 'it almost builds you up' You guys keep skirting around melodic death metal that's ACCESSIBLE to a new listener... ya'll just keep diving headfirst in lol! And you do the same with power metal as well, which, I gotta give you props for, on both! You were almost there on this one, and I can tell you appreciated them. But nothing wrong with easing yourself into the genre, so you can understand it a little better. I STILL recommend you revisit Amon Amarth for melodic death metal. You reviewed an early, shit song and you NEED to revisit them. They honestly bridge the gap between mainstream metal and melodic death metal. Try 'Live for the Kill' as it has Apocalyptica behind them on orchestra and a very clear, yet elegant melody progression. But anything off Twilight of the Thundergod and more recent would probably suffice.
766. photographerjonathan: pile of crap, it would maybe be better without the guy upfront who probably considers himself a singer. I would never listen to this so called song twice.
767. Snoop Hogg: Hilarious how metal slowly grows on you.
768. Frankie White: Sylosis- Apparitions
769. Nathan Cardosi: Between the Buried and Me: Prequel to the Sequel (2007), or Proverbial Bellow (2018)! Great prog Metal!
770. Peste Noire is nightcore for nazis change my mind: You should definitely check the live version of New Millenium Cyanide Christ
771. somarriba333: I see an old man throwing down his cane to this track.
772. Tha Wolf: If you want bars from Meshuggah, Millenium Cyanide Christ. Watch the video, if allowed, because its beyond epic. Nothing at all like bleed. Lol. The song though? It grooves harrrd.
773. alphaenemy: No, Meshuggah is just not for them, period. Meshuggah is for people who already truly love death and thrash and are ready to appreciate the boundaries being pushed.
774. SwordOfPhoenix: Mass hypnosis or arise as well
775. Trae Sanford: Going back to Bleed at the end made me happy. I felt the same way you guys did the first time I heard meshuggah. Took me a while, and then suddenly I just got it, and now its one of my favourite bands to listen to. And yeah, the mass appeal 'writing' thing you brought up is pretty fair. The big thing about Meshuggah is that they are a band all about rhythmic prowess, and often doing such a thing is hard to get that mass appeal, because very rarely does rhythmic focus make a great song that appeals to the masses... all the songs that do have already been made =p
776. Kozmoz: YES!
777. collin starkey: Do not look down has a way better groove that I think they would enjoy.
778. Ron Jeremy: patreons: give animals as leaders a second chance: the woven web or ectogenesis
779. lucifer lavey: I paused this one second in.....before watching. Prediction: they will hate this noise-fest, which is indeed what it is: pure noise with zero redeeming musical qualities.
780. Ancient Ruins Official: Why dont u guys do Iced Earth Travel in stygian Alive in Athens Version???😑😤
781. MegaZiod: LINDEMANN - Praise Abort
782. DRD17: Tesseract - Nocturne please :D You guys are dope. Just subbed.
783. Raust: Glad to see a couple of dudes having a good time listening to metal.
784. Eric Smith: Great review. Was super cool you guys went back to Bleed and were liking it a bit more.
785. Space Goth: 10,000 years by High on Fire
786. Cody Hanson: The Black Dahlia Murder- Deathmask Divine !!!
787. Frayz Mac: Love this shit guys, love you guys giving alternative music a shot <3'
788. einnabv1q: I know you guys love the instruments in metal you should check out Berried Alive (Charles Casswell) - His song hump is insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHUPivUQYUU or Dingleberries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epC4-vvAGWc.
789. Michael Lee: "Djent" is actually how the lead guitar player Fredrick Thornendal tried to describe the tone he wanted his guitar to have when explaining it to his recording engineer.
790. UrinationNation: There are bands that have universal appeal and there are bands that don't and it has a lot to do with context and luck. For example I bet you in Sweden Meshuggah is played on the radio, cause Sweden appreciates metal on a different level than we do. It's like ethnic food, does actual Chinese food have universal appeal, maybe not, but I bet you it's doing just fine in China. Just because we're soft isn't a valid reason to suggest an artist compromise to appeal to our limited vocabulary of taste.
791. Sabrina James: I think ya'll would like New Millenium Cyanide Christ or Nostrum by Meshuggah. Awesome vid btw!
792. Mark Wrenn: +Rberg1105 that's what I suggested actually. Astral Body.
793. Ryan McLean: try these, gents: territory - sepultura alone in a room - code orange cassie eats cockroaches - acid bath shadows of death - aura noir ritual - bolt thrower :D love your channel, keep up the good work!
794. Ryan Wilkerson: This is a must
795. Yashas Indalkar: Death - Voice of the Soul
796. Allen Vrabac: If you wanna headbob, always try and follow the snare. Some songs will actually make more sense, sounds silly but there's something to it. Great video guys loved the discussion afterwards.
797. Inchristalone777: Vid hasn't even started - still getting through the ad, AND TAKE YOUR LIKE!!! THANK YOU FOR PLAYING DEMIURGE!!! This song was 100% no lie, no bs my alarm clock when I was in tech school.
798. Tool jira shugg: I was much like you guys when I initially heard Meshuggah. I heard some older songs and understood the appeal and why / how they were pioneers of the genre, but I could not get into them personally. Then Koloss came out and that all changed. It just seems to be a more accessible album. That being said, I'm a little surprised you guys still liked this song, lol. I thought you would find it a little repetitive or samey. But I'm glad y'all liked it. I think you guys would also like REALLY old Meshuggah - "Contradictions Collapse" / "None" era. The track "Humiliative" comes to mind. The vocals are less harsh, great riffs, very industrial sounding, and a progressive song all around. "Future Breed Machine" from "Destroy Erase Improve" I think y'all would appreciate as well.
799. Kevin: you should give August Burns Red - Invisible Enemy a listen
800. The Rooster: https://youtu.be/aVIA1n5ng4Y
801. Hudson Barth: If y’all want groove, you gotta give Lamb of God another go. I’ve been recommending them since you guys had like 20k subscribers haha
802. Weslee Rozell: Black Dahlia Murder - What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse
803. Ice Kold Killa: Another good one I've heard is "This sounds like a printer." when listening to Meshuggah. My friend's father haha. But yeah, you guys seem to really get it even if you don't like it. I'm surprised you aren't Metalheads yet haha. I came from Hip-Hop and I mean I listened to everything but Missy Elliott, The Neptunes, Timbaland were my favorite. I got into old school Hip-Hop too like KRS, Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane and sooooo many more. I'm surprised at myself for ending up with Meshuggah as my 3rd favorite band of all time behind Tool at #1 and Deftones at #2.
804. Dee Smith: Sounds like crap....
805. Freddy G.: Mudvayne - Severed
806. Nick Drage: Eyehategod - Blank
807. mikepshena: Yesss
808. Opuskrokus: Demi-urge - the hidden god who created the world, according to Platonian philosophy.
809. mordentus: Demi-urge
810. Andrea Baldin: I think you hit the right point with Meshuggah: we love them so much because they don’t give a f about mainstream, indeed they don’t give a f about you listening! They just write and play the heaviest grinding crushing songs they are able to. And they are the best in doing that
811. The Hooded Reckoner: just listen to their album Catch 33 and don't react to it. just groove to it. you'll know why i said that after you do it.
812. jackson osborn: Please react to machine head aesthetics of hate would really appreciate it it has a really cool breakdown I know you would like please react to it thx
813. Loe307uh: If you review New Millennium Cyanide Christ, you have to watch the video that goes with it.
814. M Gonzalez: Funeropolis for sure.. maybe return trip. Both very misanthropic/cynical/ nihilist lyrics my go to songs to get a certain mood out.. and oh man.... that distorted fuzzy HEAVIER than the EARTH riffs.... soooooo soo good.....
815. Dr. Didn’t disrespect my Wife: Wheres GOJIRA
816. Richard Moran: Mr Bungle. You need to check this out. Maybe start on 1st album, so the song "Travolta" also known as "Quote Unquote" would be amazing
817. David Simpson: Love to see u 2 diggin' on some 'Shugah, but I don't think either of these songs really represents their best work, and certainly not their grooviest. If you guys like the grooves, you gotta check out tracks like Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion, or maybe Do Not Look Down. Clockworks would be another great tune to check out, and it really grooves, but not in a way that's easy to not your head to.
818. Markus Broich: You wanna listen to some really heavy stuff? CROWBAR!!!!! "Let me mourn" I don't talk about technical skills but deep emotional and melodic heaviness.
819. Jess T: Eaten by Bloodbath please!!!!
820. Christopher Vaca: Meshugah - future breed machine is the best introduction to the band.
821. Jim Mayberry: Not a biggie. But, on the pronunciation of the title. Break it down in two parts. Demi-Urge.
822. ChaseMateer: Great review guys!! Please give wage War "The River" a listen. Really hoping you guys review a song that I have requested.
823. SweKeeper98: Rational gaze or Perpetual black second IS THE GROOVE YOU WANT!!!!!!! PLEASE
824. Olivier Allard: So happy to see you guys give Meshuggah another shot. Listening to something and finding it "meh", only to come back to it later and going "What was I thinking? This is great!" is something that happens so often to me it's not even surprising anymore. On the whole "doing what you're good at for the people who like it" angle on the music, I know I've seen an interview with one of the guys from Meshuggah where he pretty much that yeah, they made the music they wanted to make and if people liked it, all the better. You guys should take a look at RIvers of Nihil, either "Sand Baptism" or "The Silent Life".
825. DougShablowski: YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH this shit makes my day man. Aite ima watch it now
826. Kyle Benz: Architects - Royal Beggars Parkway Drive - Shadow Boxing Ice Nine Kills - Thank God its Friday Time for some metalcore my guys!
827. Green Man: I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE SEEING THIS ON EVERY DAMN VIDEO KYUUUUUSSSSSSS Also wtf was that comment about them doing a poor job about appealing to non-metalheads? They’re an extreme metal band. Do you understand what that means?
828. dgvtx82: Their old shit is hella better, It’s Not Safe to Swim Today!
829. Airlight: Bleed and Demiurge are not good intros for a first listen. For your 3rd Meshuggah song down the line, I'd strongly recommend a lyric video, since the lyrics usually are usually both thematically and rhythmically interesting to follow along with. And, for the song I'd recommend something from their latest album. "Clockworks" is probably a bit dense. Born In Dissonance could be good. "Nostrum" lyric video or the Thomas Haake studio drum video would be great I think.
830. Bantz Rayder: Most underrated Djent band = Mnemic
831. Greg Roar: Really want to see you guys do some mushroomhead. You would love it
832. Gaute Alvarstein: Black Flame By Bury tomorrow
833. Monte Barnard: Fuckin love you guys. Best reaction channel on YouTube! The respect and dedication you pay to each song really shines through. Been a subscriber for a while and watching you dudes grow in your metal expertise is impressive. The world needs more free thinkers like you guys. Music is like food, different tastes for everyone but if you learn the flavors you can appreciate almost anything. Love how you threw back to bleed with more perspective. Get some good herb in you and catch this live. Meshuggah is a religious experience.
834. endless nameless: Djent sucks.
835. Cassidy Robinson: SLEEP - DRAGONAUT
836. Jordan Sage: Yeah, Meshuggah is not easy listening for just about anyone, haha. They are out there on Pluto - not sure how they got there, but somehow they discovered an incredibly rich and original artistic vein. I think they are basically tapping into the impulses of the irrational-rationality of the unconscious mind or of nature with their strange rhythms. Really unique. Not easy listening, like the avant-garde jazz of metal and have been recognized by Swedish institutions and music theorists as basically living artistic geniuses. Glad the LiV boys tried a second helping of such a strange, eccentric band!
837. zachary benson: You'll love ice ts band body count
838. Strung Up: Fever by Deathgrips!
839. Magnus Ipsen: Haken - Cockroach King
840. Friedrich Jens: To Ryan's point at the end: I totally get where he's coming from but I could not disagree more. Of course it's a valid indicator of greatness if you manage to produce music that appeals to a wide audience - it means that you have somewhat figured out the "formula of popular music". But then again, on the other hand, it's extremely important to me that there are artists who push the boundaries and use art (whether it'd be music, movies or anything else) to express their specific taste and message - coz that's the only way you get progress and not just more of the same. And luckily, it always happends: Just think of Blues and Jazz in the early 20th century, rock in 60s (Beatles etc.), then metal, rap and hiphop... But that's just my humble opinion.
841. AnthonyK 19: Please do more Gojira and Tool! Also PLEASE consider Nekrogoblikon and Fleshgod Apocalypse!!!! Great vids you guys!
842. RobJT: I totally understand your thoughts. First time I heard Sepultura I thought they were terrible. Then I heard Metallica, that got me into Machine Head and then I ended up loving Sepultura. Please do something totally different... Bjork is amazing and totally different to anything you've ever reviewed. I'd recommend "Hunter" or "Joga".
843. Billy Pappas: Between the buried and me please!! Been trying for a year! I’ve seen other people ask as well! Can I get some likes!?
844. Joseph Regh: You guys gotta check out Do Not Look Down by Meshuggah. It's got such a tasty groove.
845. SwiftDurka: meshuggah is a timing nerd band.....they typically have everything (including vocals) on different time signatures. so for the lamen it can be boring, but for nerds its pretty fun to listen to *edit* the song bleed is a good example of this band. the drummer is playing different time signatures on the top and kick
846. Nate Walker: Every Time I Die- Map Change
847. Metal Enthusiast: Black Sabbath- sabra cadabra Adelitas Way - dog on a leash Havok- prepare for attack Chastain- angel of mercy W.A.S.P.- 9.5 Nasty Bad Company- Bad Company Iron Maiden- Murders in the Rue Morgue Black Label Society- trampled down below
848. Benjeu: Gojira - The Gift of Guilt (Live at Brixton Academy, London)... ...and it's not an option !
849. kyle yu: You should try meshuggah - new millenium cyanide christ. the music video isa freakin awesome. hhahahah.
850. Andreas Thygesen: Nails - Life Is a Death Sentence
851. Laros82: All solid choices \m/
852. Nathan Harder: NAILBOMB-RELIGIOUS CANCER
853. Eba Sal: Soilwork - Father and Son, Watching the World Go Down I think it's time for some Scandinavian melodic death metal. So much great music there that you haven't touched at all(you did Amon Amarth, but that song was a poor example), it's hard to give a starting suggestion. Other bands to check out: Arch Enemy - My Apocalypse Scar Symmetry - Timewave Zero Solution .45 - For Aeons Past In Flames - Take This Life Dark Tranquillity - Nothing to No One Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet Disarmonia Mundi - Quicksand Symmetry Other worthy mentions: At the Gates Wintersun Amorphis Amon Amarth (try Twilight of the Thunder God) Insomnium Kalmah Be'lakor The Haunted Carcass Blood Stain Child
854. ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ: You guys heard the new Ice Cube album? That shit's heavy
855. Deven Science: My son just introduced me to Royal Blood. The song that grabbed me first was "Little Monster."
856. Jesse Mccullough: one of the better videos in awhile, I like the evolution and the conversation. pplease do the bands sleep or electric wizard. thats some good stuff
857. 7heSlime: Very glad to see you guys go back to a song you previously didn't like to give it a second look through a slightly different perspective.
858. Chase Mandel: React to Architects Doomsday
859. Brian Bierlein: To prounounce demiurge, just pronounce it as two separate words, 'demi' and 'urge'. The definition is 'in philosophy, a subordinate god who fashions and arranges the physical world to make it conform to a rational and eternal ideal.'
860. Yatin Dawra: I'm sorry, but I don't see the purpose.
861. PhoenixXZY: A bit off genre, but I'd love to hear some Queens of the Stone Age. Haven't done any of their stuff yet.
862. Arturo Ivan González González: Loved it, very honest, hope you can make rational gaze or new millenium, because although you get more what meshuggah is about, your'e still missing the core of their greatness, the cleverness in their grooves, rhythmically this is as good as it gets.
863. Matt Aide: First, LOVE The Roots. Second, I tend to agree. A lot of metal bands would have trouble gaining popularity across different music genres, and ever though I have always considered Meshuggah to be a band's band, I think the sheer technicality of their music has helped them gain some additional attention. I will say they can find a pretty mean groove though, Check out Corridor of Chameleons and Do not look Down.
864. cypriann: Check out Do Not Look Down by Meshuggah. You'll like it from the start. Groove is insane and it has some good lyrics too.
865. Sherif Hamdy: Man! I have been requesting them to react to any of Esnlaved track long time ago. Clouds, Reflection, Ethica Odini, Ground, Lunar Force, soo many awesome tracks. They're like the Pink Floyd of Black Metal.
866. Onion Head Guy Guy: This song has such a great sense of momentum and pace. Ill often play it a few times in a row and I rarely do that especially for 6 minute plus songs.
867. Warren Stemphly: Soundgarden: Beyond the Wheel
868. GrizzleyBear: They skip through too much! Not digging this channel. Just my opinion obviously and if I don't like it I won't watch them I get that ;)
869. ron nelson: recommending a band called Ark, and either the track called, "Heal the waters" or "Absolute Zero" or really anything from their album, "Burn the Sun". Jorn Lande is top notch singer.
870. Kevin Johnson: Sonata Arctica-White Pearl, Black Oceans
871. Faiyaz Chowdhury: I think you guys are now 'ready' for Between the Buried and Me. Try Ants of the Sky. Or if you want a more accessible song then Turn on the Darkness.
872. Chrisuke Doomsuke: "I'm in my head nodding zone" Stealing that haha
873. DomSchu: Bleed is not a good first Meshuggah song. I knew of Meshuggah for a while, but had only listened to the first minute of Bleed and was unable to continue. It was just boring and monotonous to me. It wasn't until I heard some of they're slower more groove oriented songs that I was able to get it.
874. Gregory Chri: garbage band
875. Adam Richardson: If you want the ultimate extreme metal experience...... it has to be 'Gutalax live at OEF'
876. David Wallin: :o :0 :o you're going back to bleed!!
877. Flávio Faive: React to *Angra - Spread Your Fire* Angra is a brazilian power metal band. Angra means goddess of fire and beauty in Tupi mitology (brazilian natives). Kiko Loureiro, current Megadeth's guitar player, used to play in Angra.
878. Ben Wallace: Kublai Khan - The Hammer
879. Adam Juelich: Mudvayne - Dig
880. Tammy Zepp: I've been telling them Du Riechst So Gud for months. Really hoping they get around to Rammstein, I think they'll love it. The groove, the powerful drums, some transitions but not too many, clean but heavy vocals
881. QC JOSH: Awesome that you guys went back to Bleed. Good discussion about both. Check out some groove metal. DevilDriver, I Could Care Less or Before the Hangman's Noose.
882. The Great Hawk: (Napalm Death - Smash a Single Digit) (Butthole Surfers - Alcohol) (Bad Religion - American Jesus) (Lard - The Power Of Lard) (Neil Young - On Broadway)
883. Damian Chrzanowski: Gojira - Clone, or Gojira Remembrance
884. Todd Crawford: Now that I've listened to some of Demiurge along with you on this video, I would still recommend Rational Gaze over this track. Meshuggah's last big moment was still probably the "Bleed" track; since then, it has been repetitive and boring for me. Meshuggah have talent and something new on each release, but for the general listener, Meshuggah have just been cannibalizing themselves since Bleed was released.
885. swansonberger: That "detuned" tone is the sound of an 8 string guitar. Check em out!
886. Sorley Mackay: Man they don't do any music associated with Phil anselmo cause of that incident at dimebash
887. Jon Finna: I listen the this when I deadlift. Makes you feel like you can lift the world. Good shit guys
888. Patrick Floyd: LMFAO @ The Door stopper..
889. Arthur Daffos: Remembrance or Love bro! Let them hear some of their early brutal stuff as well!
890. R. Andrew Hart: WOW! Djent as "doorstopper metal"...I buy it. One hell of an analogy.
891. Keunt: If you guys want a Meshuggah tune that has a bit more of a consistent groove check out Do Not Look Down.
892. I Am Pesukone: +Vaigod777 MonstroCity is a bit corny at best, starting with the title and its weird casing.
893. Chesty McUnderpants: PtH!
894. Juan Carlos Ascanio: The Dillinger Escape Plan “43% Burnt”
895. Dom Brazzale: Break those bones is one of their heaviest songs imo
896. Nathan Brookes: Why don't you review the only good Meshuggah stuff, i.e. their 90s material?
897. Todd Curry: If you want to stay in the Djent family but see where it can go in terms of being melodic, check out Skyharbor - Celestial.
898. Bones12x2: I kind of disagree that any band or musician should attempt to have a universal appeal. I think it's perfectly fine if a band wants to do that and for commercial success beyond a certain level, you kind of have to. But doing so inherently requires some element of sacrifice if you are in a genre that isn't already a mainstream style. There are certain levels of writing and creative process that simply can't be developed if the goal is to appeal to a mass audience. Its the same story with other forms of artwork. The best movies are often flops or relatively underappreciated while many of the most successful are not usually great movies. Some bands are lucky that their natural style can appeal to almost anyone, but a band like Meshuggah is trying to create a sound and emotion from their music that would suffer if it wasn't made in a way that many people simply can''t appreciate. Also, doing so would be a disservice to people that are very dedicated to that style and have developed a taste and an ear for certain details that other listeners won't appreciate. Just as y'all have already seen a big change in how you hear Bleed between now and when you first heard it....millions of people aren't open and persistent enough to develop that. It took y'all a long time of listening to a lot of music that is outside of your comfort zone to get there. If Meshuggah tried to produce a song that you would instantly enjoy, it would be a watered down version of what they truly want to make and you wouldn't be having the experience you have now.
899. Christopher sjöström: Future breed machine!
900. Michael Garcia: SOILWORK - STABBING THE DRAMA
901. kafcin: Love George’s analogies!!!! Lol!!!
902. Rob Smith: Guys - AmenRa - Children of the Eye. AmenRa is very quickly becoming the goto sound for Sludge and Post Metal. Vocals occillate between intense anguish and whimpering in parts. Intense, passionate and emotional all at the same time. They aren't well known, so they won't be requested often, but these guys are the ones to watch for Sludge !
903. Jaymzmiller: I want them to do Ants of the Sky just to see their reaction to the hillbilly bit near the end of the track.
904. T Bone: Shit
905. ArisenMind: They should have reviewed Break those Bones whose Sinews Gave It Motion, instead. The riff is better in that song and doesn't feel as monotonous which, let's be honest here, Meshuggahh tend to be.
906. GrizzleyBear: Yeah so they can skip through it the whole time? That is a great track. These guys skip too much through tracks. I wouldn't bother.
907. tristan363: The older meshuggah got my preference. Gods of Rapture should have been done.
908. Chris Loge: Man, Im about to go to a holiday party when suddenly you guys drop this video....
909. jsunh98: it's a good song, but there's too many other good meshuggah songs with better recording quality
910. marrydruli: I appreciate that you went back to Bleed to see if your perception of it changed. Enjoyed seeing both y'all groove to djent :) Cheers!
911. Cyril Ruegsegger: +Eimaj XC Yeah it's chaotic but there is also some very pleasant melodic parts in this song :) Anyway this would be fun to see a reaction to this
912. Will Pestka: My fav is Break Those Bones that Sinews Gave it Motion
913. B B: Mors principium est Sylosis Frosttide Brymir Lamb of God The black Dahlia murder Aether Realm
914. Johnny Irish: Animals as Leaders
915. Wayne Jones: Struggle jennings Like father like son This is an awesome song
916. Aaron Stanley: Gluon PA They would love Prong
917. Daniel Agramonte: The cockroach king would be a better first song
918. Bill B-MORE Passmore: sir psycho sexy --- red hot chili peppers :D :D :D :D :D
919. Amer532: Idk why yall didn't do "break those bones" by Meshuggah 🤔
920. jeff brochetti: Sepultura--Ratamahatta
921. Muhamad Rivai: Great reaction and discussion. It seems like your kind of metal is the heavy, groovy, headbanging stuffs. But maybe once in awhile you guys should try other unique subgenres, such as post-metal, stoner metal, folk metal, or avant garde metal.
922. Anthony Jurd: 100% agree! Combustion is one of my top for blistering power. (I may have shat my pants when they opened a set with it one time), Clockworks for technical wizardry.
923. The Dream Catcher: We havent seen Bullet For my Valentine or As I Lay Dying yet!!! Give metalcore some love soon 🤘🤘
924. Huesos 138: You'd never like this when you first started posting videos. You have really evolved your tastes. Inspiring.
925. Chris Mueller: The old Meshuggah is needed to really grasp this genre. It's also an acquired taste, but definitely old Meshuggah is a must to see the bigger picture here. Check out: Corridor of Chameleons
926. Alvaro Pita: Iron Maiden- 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'.
927. OrsinoNation: Seriously guys. It's time to go next level. Second Wave Black Metal, often called Scandinavian Black Metal. Emperor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BI4_NMxPb8
928. A A: Dillinger Escape Plan - Sunshine the Werewolf
929. EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY CONTENT!!!!: Haken-puzzle box
930. shyam sudhakar: Defeated Sanity - Engulfed into Excruciation Defeated Sanity - Engulfed into Excruciation Defeated Sanity - Engulfed into Excruciation Defeated Sanity - Engulfed into Excruciation Defeated Sanity - Engulfed into Excruciation You guys need to do this. Period.
931. Marcin Bulczak: Door stopper lol!!
932. Ambasador Tortexu: Fear Factory - Self Bias Resistor :)
933. chris gomez: Queens of the stone age, no one knows
934. tony: Hell yah guys. Meshuggah is certainly the top dog of modern progressive metal so it's really cool to see you guys appreciating them.
935. Jamie Mills: Sylosis - Servitude.
936. David Lawrence: Gojira - Pray!!!!!!!!!!!
937. Alejandro Berrios: Mercyful Fate - A Dangerous Meeting. Please!
938. Jon Panayi: Strapping young lad City! Full album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
939. Sir Gabranth: Severed.
940. jutaro thug: MESHUGGAH - NEW MILLENIUM CYANIDE CHRIST
941. Dominant Persona: I Am The Black Wizard!!!!!!!!
942. jhill76john: Please do a video for the Byzantine song "God Forsaken." It has many of the elements you guys look for in a good metal song.
943. AmonRa1081: Can y'all change it up and do some Mark Lanegan or Morphine?
944. Patricio Gonzalez: Judas Priest - The Sentinel
945. Zach Richard: totally going to sample a door stopper and make djent with that. Honestly I think this is a fantastic idea. Could legit be a Andrew Huang video.
946. J B: FINALLY!!!!! Everytime I hear this song I feel like pulling over and robbing a convenience store!!!!!
947. Vaigod777: I was surprised when they said Monstrocity didnt do good. That song is baller.
948. The Goody: Protest the Hero - Bloodmeat
949. danny insixiengmay: if you guys ever get the chance to see Meshuggah live, i highly recommend it. it will make so much more sense. they are amazing musically but the live show is an experienc/trip.
950. hrewhrewhrew: +mvunit3 Do you happen to have a link to any of those interviews? Maybe save me some time googling it.
951. MrPoMan: Please react to Panama - Van Halen :)
952. SicklessHell: Check out Meshuggah - Clockworks
953. Jay Sin: "door stopper" 😆😆😆 BRILLIANT!
954. speakdeath: I don't know what people are yelling you , but their earlier stuff is much better
955. Matt Solar: You should watch the Bleed drum playthrough.
956. James Mac: Personally I think the biggest box this song misses on is the need for Jon Theodore voodoo drum groove, which is an area that I feel does get checked off in The Mars Volta's "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus." Come to think of it, you guys should probably just review that song. Yeah that sounds like a good idea, lemme know what you guys think.
957. Milky HVM90: check out clockworks,also another level song by meshuggah
958. James Froggatt: While I've got respect for them I've never really got into meshuggah
959. Jonathan Potts: Right well especially with meshugga lol
960. Teehee186: Protest the hero
961. Steven Veronikis: The Contortionist - Clairvoyant
962. Vadork: Flotsam and Jetsam, Doomsday for the Deceiver please!!!
963. Mark Wrenn: Between the Buried and Me - Astral Body! Great video as always
964. Giannis Musicman: React to Rivers of Nihil-Where owls know my name.Absolutely amazing album,and that song man!That song!Really great stuff there!
965. VietnamD0820: toby 333 or Leper Messiah from Metallica
966. David Ayers: Give me Demiurge as and instrumental, and I'm all over it. I just can't get with 100% screaming vocals. I just really prefer clean and melodic. I can deal with a mix of styles, but 100% just doesn't do it for me. The musicianship is undeniable, though. Wish I could like them more, really. If you talk about djent, Tesseract is more my style, especially songs like Survival and Of Mind: Nocturne. And then there's Fair to Midland (Musical Chairs) ...but they're not djent.
967. Chris Keeping: I think you guys should delve into melodic death metal now. Maybe start out with Insomnium - While we sleep.
968. Jose Arriaga: In my top 5 songs of Meshuggah would be Straws Pulled at Random. Combustion or Future Breed Machine would of been a better listen for you guys and the songs are awesome. Combustion could be Meshuggahs best album opener...unless we’re talking the I ep...if you know what I mean
969. 99 problems but a fish ain't one: Tool Vicarious or I'm unsubscribing
970. guntbox: 1 hr+ episode of Dopesmoker....
971. Fleck: Still need to review a song by God Forbid.
972. Tim Pijnenburg: Try post-metal: Year of no light- Gehenne
973. Jason Haley: Man do I love Meshuggah"s music. But man do I hate the vocals.
974. Gipsy Avenger: Hard-Heavy-Odd Time Signature to the 10th degree.  Gets OLD REAL QUICK!!!
975. James Paolo: Definitely check future breed machine also lamb of god ruin has a sick break down I know you will love
976. Krishach: Request for Anubis Gate - Telltale Eyes (for pace) or Golden Days (for lyric depth: full version, not the music video!)
977. Nicoly S: *Power Trip - Executioner's Tax*
978. SwordOfPhoenix: angra - temple of hate and behemoth - o father o satan o sun
979. slovak4life1991: David Miller I saw Eyehategod when I went to see Black Label Society. I think the guitarist can cut off the bottom four strings and still play all of the songs they played that night.
980. Emperor's Champion: If you do check out New Millennium Cyanide Christ, you MUST watch the video. It's the most metal fuckin thing you'll ever see.
981. HellaJ 84: Please react to Funeral Hymn by Exodus!
982. GWAILIN: This shit sounds bad-ass cranked in the car
983. Jay Hamilton: You guys should really listen to some of their earlier stuff from the late-80's, like their self-titled album. They weren't always Djent. They actually started out as a Thrash sounding band, and sounded a lot like early Metallica. You guys should check it out.
984. Matt Vargo: THIS!!!!!
985. Kevin Gamble: Candiria - Faction Slams harder than anything you guys have played, check it!
986. AdraTheMetalOutlaw: Oh yes.. Been waitin for this. Ive been a metal head for about 38 years now, and (for me at least) Meshuggah is certainly a very unique and respected band in metal. For me this is a real groovy metal jam. Its classic Meshuggah IMO. I use this song most the time to intro peeps to Meshuggah. Thanx for the review fellas.
987. Christopher Vaca: Doorstop rock😂😂
988. Robert Lenn: Also, these guys are Swedish and understand English better than you do. Demi urge. Djent. D-junt. It sounds like hitting a door stopper. You understand how guitar strings work, right? Writhing. TLDR
989. TerranigmaQuintet: Romanticide might be more to their taste as a first listen imho.
990. Brian Andrews: I hope they listen to rivers of rivers nihil
991. Daniel Doss: YO been waiting for this!!!! Good stuff
992. Blaine Wekony: YOU ACTUALLY HAVNT REALLY HEARD ANY MESHUGGAH GUITAR SOLOS YET.. demiurge doesn’t have a classic meshuggah guitar solo. Listen to a meshuggah song with a guitar solo. “Dancers to a discordant system”, “bleed”, “pineal gland optics” “straws pulled at random”... oh Man U guys are missing out on some serious good shit
993. CountScottula87: Chrysalis by Opeth 🤘🤘🤘
994. C F: Demi-Urge = Definition of demiurge. 1 capitalized. a : a Platonic subordinate deity who fashions the sensible world in the light of eternal ideas. b : a Gnostic subordinate deity who is the creator of the material world.
995. Tyler Iannucci: "It sounds like a spring" Well on a guitar the E, A, & D strings basically are springs. It's coiled wire, it's just stretched instead of compressed. Love you guys and wish you all the best! Gotta keep pluggin' BROCKHAMPTON - IRIDESENCE, though. That album is worth a reaction, and I think you guys will really dig some of the grooves they get into.
996. DoctorBarbarian: Look, Demiurge aside, once that legendary riff begins in Bleed it doesn't matter what I'm doing, I automatically apply the screwface like I just smelled a fart and bob my goddam head like I'm trying to headbutt a nail through a cinder block.
997. Andrew Austin: Rational Gaze or Closed Eye Visuals would be good. Those groove so hard.
998. Daniel Horvat: Should check out some Volumes guys, I think you'd really dig the material off their album "Different Animals", they even have a track featuring Pouya. Great stuff as always!
999. TadhgRiordan: It's so funny because you're experience of Meshuggah mirrors my own: I first heard Bleed and couldn't get into it all, then revisited Meshuggah (years) later, and they became one of my favourite bands. Rational Gaze would be right up your guys alley though! Hopefully you can revisit it at some point in the future. Cheers
1000. john debbaudt: Bleed reaction part 2 hahaha
1001. OIF SandSailor: You should revisit Slayer - Raining Blood.  You didn't like it at all the first time, because YOU WERE NOT READY!.  I think you would be now.  If not, check out the (Repentless Trilogy) videos.  3 insane videos of hardcore thrash. "You Against You", "Repentless", and "Pride in Prejudice". It all tells a story, and also stars the late Danny Trijo.
1002. Kristian Kassis: Black Sun, Black Moon by Warbringer.
1003. killerpeaches7: Deh-mee Err-jh. Just for the record. Good reaction, as always.
1004. Knut Mikael Haukeland: Check out "Straws pulled at random" by Meshuggah next!
1005. john larson: Great song
1006. MythosSpecialist: If you like the synchronization between the riffs and the vocals, there is a part of future breed machine that does that (Mechanical thoughts, I now conceive, etc.)
1007. Corey Chatelain: So much this. Real artists should drag their audience where they want to go not the other way around. Seeing someone like Meshuggah or Gojira in a huge stadium/arena b/c they're hugely popular would be a terrible experience.
1008. Victor Correa: You guys do birthday requests?! Hahaha you guys should check out Avenged Sevenfold: Exist Love the channel guys, long time follower! Keep up the awesome videos coming!!!
1009. hiro111: The guitars aren't detuned, they're custom 8 string guitars with two bass strings. They are all about that drone.
1010. Levi RootsManuva: 2:30 "detuned a little bit lower", hahahaha. well he's not wrong but that's sounds so detuned he's practically playing spaghetti for a guitar
1011. Darren Booker: You boys as much as I love your tag team reaction, with meshuggah, count 4/4 with the drums (tomas) then circulate that over 5/4 and 9/4, and other time signatures through there purposeful repetition...... in other words follow hihats and cymbals to follow how the groove is and head bang.... if that makes sense lol 🤘🤘 As I'm aussie, please do Psycroptic!!!!!!
1012. Zeloss Pro X: Do xxxtentacion - skins !!!!
1013. Thom Bakker: Yeeees
1014. inashentears: Please give some Irish Metal a chance and get into something new with "Primordial - The Coffin Ships".
1015. dgvtx82: You guys have come a long way, have learned a lot about metal, picked up the idiosyncrasies of what appeals to ppl, love it!
1016. Larry Mockridge: Still no Fear Factory, but another great reaction! Fear Factory brothers!
1017. Kadual: Behemoth - Ov Fire and the Void. Get the lyrics handy and interpret them as you listen to the song. I believe that would be a better analysis of the song than if you were to analyze the music video for it.
1018. Bryce T: Should start with Vinum Sabbathi. Funeralopolis or Return trip would be fine too.
1019. Zachary Moses: In Flames - Only For The Weak
1020. Kristian Spencer: NIGHTWISH - STORYTIME (LIVE AT WACKEN)
1021. Grunge Tone: Or the dead deads - push me
1022. Daniel Ducharme: CRYPTOPSY - CROWN OF THORNS
1023. Jhonny Gil: About that Maximum the Hormone....yeah
1024. Timothy Brice: YES! Rational Gaze or Future Breed Machine!!! Both have nice grooves!
1025. daclyde: Then they could end the Dragula listen with a look at that new Dragula/Disco Inferno mashup.
1026. William Dewey: It's pronounced Demi / urge it means Creator in Gnostic Christianity he is identified as the blind Creator God of the world or Yahweh
1027. Zlout: Now that you guys start to have a taste for real heavy stuff, you should try Archspire, relentless mutation
1028. Nate: In the late 90s people from a lot of different genres loved meshuggah...electronica, jazz, fusion
1029. Wot Wot: what if you don't wanna grow? this isn't for profit, it's for art and the happiness found in making good music that sounds great to you.
1030. Cory Adams: Code orange, forever!
1031. Tim Ryder: Yes I’ve been asking for this for months!!!!!
1032. Asura_14: Monuments next then?
1033. Damian Lacey: I really think you would have liked Future Breed Machine or Soul Burn better
1034. we eating our breffiss dis mourning unfortunately: Review anything by Death Grips. You guys are in for a treat
1035. J A: With Djent, if I ever lose the 'groove' I just focus in the cymbals. It tends to be an anchor point.
1036. Chris Camarena: Thank you guys finally you did a song and I knew you guys would appreciate this a little bit more and yeah you guys should have done this first then Bleed 2nd and you know I'm glad you guys appreciate it and kinda have a little bit of a respect for these guys 🤘👍
1037. Bantz Rayder: Thumbs up. Would also like to see them do Holomovement and Geocentric Confusion (just for the spectacular ending, they’ll be blown away by it)
1038. Ariel Wainzinger: +MalfaiteurCraven Oh absolutely. Though I'm of the mind that they would be doing themselves a disservice by "swimming in the kiddy pool" if you catch my drift. These guys have heard metal before, so it would almost be an insult to them to say they couldn't handle the songs I mentioned, don't you think?
1039. tenac2215: Never heard this song before. If you strip back the vocals it sounds the like DOOM soundtrack lol
1040. spastikxchild13: my guys
1041. HD S: Sleep - dragonaunt Stoner metal
1042. NSS_Firestorm 555: Avenged sevenfold: strength of the world
1043. CryMyName: break those bones sinews gave it..im on the edge if i like it better than this one or not. If heavier or not. Also what you re saying at 10:15, completely true
1044. Victor Erickson: YEESSSSS Acceptance PLEASE! I recently found Concealing Fate and it quickly became a favorite.
1045. Addicted 2 Detail: Nevermore- the river dragon has come. Please guys
1046. Daniel N: Mastodon - The Czar
1047. TheRockstarr33: Oh man, my favorite 'Shuggah songs, in order, are New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Future Breed Machine, Rational Gaze, ObZen, Demiurge, and then the list goes on...
1048. Michael Setterlund: Please do a reaction for Pungent Stench "Why Can The Bodies Fly" from the album "Dirty Rhymes And Psychotronic Beats", 1993. Death Metal Band.
1049. Korruptionen: You guys should check out Clockworks by Meshuggah, and the video showing the drumming. Also, to help you understand the beat... it's all in 4/4, with different time signatures played at the same time below, creating poly rhythms. When you listen to Meshuggah, look the overall 4/4 time signature.
1050. A Malevolent: Thanks to all the idiots that voted for Demiurge... probably the same idiots that voted for Blood mountain from Mastodon... Nah... why vote for songs that would showcase the true potential of a band, like Shed/Persona non gratae/In life is death in the case of Meshuggah... nah... let's vote for the senseless banger songs degenerates like to put on.
1051. Gluon PA: +wvusmc snap playlist
1052. luke666808g: I wish you had reacted to 'Don't Look Down' which I think has a much better groove, tbh I don't know why this song is popular, this is stock level of quality for Meshuggah is what I mean, not that it's a bad song. Actually Straws Pulled At Random would have been the perfect song choice for a first listen.
1053. Jake McGuire: Modern Day Babylon - Otherside
1054. SOSscorn: The Nothing album by Meshuggah is a lot better for first listen stuff for this band. Bleed and some of the stuff after Obzen has more of a push for droning tones. Try Perpetual Black Second, that song has groove and the "formula" of normal song structure. Good reaction guys, I'm glad you came back around to try them out again.
1055. Eddie Cardwell: Demi-urge is how I say it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
1056. John-Paul Pagano: "Demi-urge" For Meshuggah, there's really one entry point: New Millennium Cyanide Christ. That is by far the greatest thing the band has done and it says everything about them musically. It's pretty widely appealing--I even know a couple of straight up jazz musicians who love that song.
1057. Red King: every time i die - map change. react to the video as well, its sooooo good
1058. Courtney Jackson: That screaming stuff can't possibly be healthy! And I know there's a technique to it not literally screaming but I'm just sayin 💁
1059. jonnygoat15: really your second listen of bleed is where i thought you would be the first time around.
1060. ruinsane100: Meshuggah, I could never get into these guys, though I really did try. Something about their music is just too mechanical and dry - not enough melody. Oh well, can't win them all.
1061. Ryan Godschalk: Need to do hammerfall or manowar
1062. nyhc80: BIOHAZARD punishment please!!!!!!!!!! Music video too. Cmon give some love for the NY hardcore scene
1063. Exodia 689: I was literally about to ask for this song atm
1064. Antony Smith: Meshuggah - New millennium cyanide christ Gojira - remembrance Metallica - the thing that should not be
1065. Ben G: Should have done Straws Pulled at Random - Meshuggah's best song
1066. Donovan Reade: Listen to God Forbid/ Don"t tell me what to dream.
1067. kreate: You guys should've done rational gaze instead
1068. ArisenMind: From any band that's metal in origin they should always recommend the groovier songs. If you notice, those songs tend to be better reviewed on this channel. If you come from listening to a hip hop/r&b then groovier tracks with easier or more melodic transitions just seem to sound better even if you don't necessarily like the song.
1069. Alexander Auztraker: great reaction. An amazing song full of Gnosis in its lyrics.
1070. atrfan11: I'm hoping yall see what we mean now when we said it takes a couple listens to really get "it".
1071. greg h: fire from the gods - excuse me
1072. Jack Smith: pronounced Dem-EE- Urge (its a gnostic word, the Demiurge was basically the devil from Gnostic mythos, a demented demon of sorts that had convinced man it was the creator when it was not)
1073. Opuskrokus: Meshuggah's vocals are more hardcore than death metal. You did pick up that "the point" of Meshuggah is the minimalism-like repetetive, slightly changing patterns. Good job once again guys! And yes, Meshuggah created djent.
1074. Miguel: Dude same
1075. Drazwin: Yes! I'm so happy you guys are reacting to more Meshuggah. Could you react to Do Not Look Down or Rational Gaze?
1076. p sully: yall really shoulda gone Rational Gaze man
1077. Jason Allen: Meshuggah is a hard band to get into unless you really like ultra heavy screaming down your throat angry sounding thrash metal. Meshuggah is extreme on the surface, but if you are a musician and listen more closely to what they are doing for each individual instrument, you will quickly see that Meshuggah are extraordinarily original and highly talented musicians, easily one of the most talented metal bands in existence.
1078. GrizzleyBear: They skip through toooo much! Yeah don't like I won't watch. Don't need to tell me ;)
1079. He YouTube Me: So, a non-metal fan isn't allowed to like some metal songs? If that's the case, I hope you don't like music outside of the heavy metal genre because that wouldn't be allowed either.
1080. Seth Hale: High on FIRE!!!!! I'm still saying Fury Whip, but if you want to do something off their new album or just whichever of their songs, I'm cool with that. They just got nominated for a grammy. I mean, come on guys, now ya gotta.
1081. Derek Miltimore: Absolutely. This is a must. It is a perfect example of progressive metal and really is an accessible track or album.
1082. Andrew G: Code Orange - Forever!!!
1083. Daniel T: Devin Townsend - Deadhead (live Royal Albert hall)
1084. Steve O'Bryan: AvataR - Any Song
1085. GuitarsNStrings 4Things: Arch Enemy My Apocalypse
1086. Ricky Ruckus: its cool seeing you guys really getting into the spirit of this shit.
1087. Tristin Daniels: Want to hear some insane drumming listen to infant annihilator
1088. Mark Arandjus: Meshuggah PSA: Guys, when suggesting Meshuggah songs don't be dicks and suggest abstract stuff like I dunno 'Mind's Mirrors' or some crazy experimental track, suggest songs that'd make for good reactions like say 'Combustion' or 'Swarm' 👍
1089. gnarkilleptic: You're doing the channel a disservice if you guys never react to Gojira - Esoteric Surgery and Toxic Garbage Island
1090. Rafael Monteiro: Castle Donington 1994
1091. Lord Baktor: To understand how above Bleed is to the rest, just remember that Thomas Haake (the drummer in Meshuggah) had to practice for three months to be able to play the song consistently.
1092. Κωνσταντίνος Κούρτης: react to: daughters - Satan in the wait
1093. Raoul Duke: I like the music, I can’t get into that type of vocal sound
1094. Jason Seth: Door stop ttttttwwwwwaaaannnnggggg 😂😂 so true!
1095. Samuel Pacheco: do some speed metal like the band Tank, Motorhead, Bulldozer, or even Deep Purple.
1096. Thelema: +SOSscorn Perpetual Black Second is huge.
1097. Tyler Kiley: True dat!
1098. Amer532: +Leon Tranter 😂😂 sorry you hate catchy music..?
1099. Jarren Harper: Any suggestions to react to Attila?? Don’t love em but I’m so interested to hear what y’all think about metal with hip hop influence.
1100. DuckTalesWooHoo1987: Still can't understand how you've never done Take Five by Dave Brubeck or Full House by Wes Montgomery. To anyone reading this please listen to those songs. You are really cheating yourself by not doing so.
1101. darkaquatus: You guys would love New Millennium Cyanide Christ from them.
1102. Lazaro Murillo: Death - Flesh And The Power It Holds Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky
1103. Hate Mich: Between the Buried And Me - Ants Of The Sky
1104. Jessi Brunson: "Sounds like a door stop".. hahahaha
1105. Andrea Polacci: Holy mountain may be too repetitive for a first listener, I'd suggest dragonaut or aquarian for a first experience of Sleep
1106. LionSword 91: Y’all would jam so hard to do not look down by meshugga
1107. Nick Landwehr: You have to see them live they shake the earth
1108. Bobloblaw828: I think it's awesome that you revisited bleed. I also think they aren't making music to be commercialized but more making art that pushes their boundaries. Keep kicking ass!
1109. RicoSeattle: Ghostief Holy shit, another Boris fan?! Awesome! I also love the song Luna.
1110. americanmisfit: Should've done Rational Gaze!!
1111. Ariel Wainzinger: +MalfaiteurCraven I have to respectfully disagree in the sense that as far as their metal reviews go, if they are to push boundaries, they should be exposed to the best and most brutal tracks available. Just my opinion.
1112. Corey Chatelain: The interlude section is pretty badass too
1113. Turtle Shell: Gonna be honest. I think universal appeal is a perceptual thing. I never listened to that level of metal before getting into Meshuggah. I liked it due to my respect for good musicianship. I feel if you're a very serious musician like myself bands like Meshuggah will appeal to you more then people who aren't. Good musicianship holds a lot of weight for musicians especially.
1114. Sludgemouth: demee urge also mick gordon - rip and tear
1115. Frank Steenbruggen: Hatebreed - I will be heard!
1116. A Malevolent: +Lost in Vegas Guitar factories like Jackson go a long way to court Meshuggah to make them use their guitars... Meshuggah only uses custom-made 8-string guitars, and 6-string basses... that is why you hear the guitars to be different, they had to use those guitars to be able to go lower on the scale... they were even regularly showcased in jazz journals back in the day... so technically proficient they were and still are. It takes a lot of time to digest their songs though... a sign of true greatness. Like so the boys can see.
1117. Carnage 1138: They need to do early Soilwork. Predator's Portrait or Natural Born Chaos.
1118. m prior: 5:03 is the heaviest riff in the imaginable universe. Don’t even argue it
1119. Dylan Underwood: The Dillinger Escape Plan- Symptom of Terminal Illness
1120. Sean Z: Demi-Urge
1121. Grim Theorist: I think it's pronounced "Demi-urge", and I think it means "creative people" or something like that. You guys should check out the video for Meshuggah's song New Millennium Cyanide Christ; it's an older song but it's got a cool groove, and it's a fun video.
1122. biohayzer: This song makes me want to buy a plastic axe so I can swing it around my bedroom😜
1123. Dave Starr: Quick question, are there any hip hop acts out there that have a similar groove and intensity to metal? Honest question, want to broaden my horizons
1124. ASXXXC: They just compared djent to door stopper ha ! This should become a new meme among djent artists !!!
1125. Jek: React to the new dream theater.
1126. Goobin Pls: Off topic but I’m still thoroughly jealous that Tomas Haake is with Jessica Pimental from Orange is the new Black lmao 😂
1127. Kaleb Ritchey: Yiorgios Vazouras they covered ministry
1128. Brain Thief: “Never stray from the common lines!”
1129. tom meyer: Meshuggah are gods! Check out Oceano - Dead planet for a different style of extreme heavy
1130. Pat Bauman: Lamb of God - Boot Scraper
1131. Dese Kraator: Humanity's Last Breath - Abyssal Mouth
1132. Tone Def: dude on the left is so right at 10:00, I feel exactly that way every time I hear the song Bleed. That song gets my hyped. The drumming is absolutely insane, the guitars are on point, his vocals are just brutal, and I just love music filled with polyrhythms. I nerd out over polyrhythms
1133. Ciprian Barbu: @Lost In Vegas - in case of Meshuggah and many other extreme metal bands, the main motivation for doing music is not trying to be universally appealing, but rather to explore and develop their own inner inclination for music and metal in general. It's what drives them and what creates motivation and gives them the feeling of fulfillment. I'm playing in an extreme metal band myself and this is my understanding of the musical process. They are of course bounded to a certain niche of listeners and most people have a difficult time understanding and coming to appreciate this form of art, but again, not all art is supposed to be accessible to anyone, some things are intentionally created for an exclusive category of audience. And what they do is considered to be a cornerstone in the development of modern metal and their creation will continue to serve as a model for future generations of musicians. They are already considered like 'Gods of metal', and they will only grow with time.
1134. Andrew Swegler: I think they would really dig Polyphia (against their typical inclination towards music with vocals). They love funk inspired guitar melodies and good bass groves so it expext it'd really click for them.
1135. crazedsnail: Amon Amarth - live for the kill
1136. Greg Pasquier: Integrity- 'String Up My Teeth'
1137. Zack Bridgeman: Architects - Doomsday!!!!
1138. Michal Brodka: This is my Christmas gift 🎁
1139. 23: saw them live, great band
1140. tioreilly625: Between the buried and me!!
1141. Brandon Clayton: Please please please The Contortionist - Language I and Language II!!!!!
1142. rayisawesoem: A door stopper?!? IM FUCKIN DEAD!!😂😂😂☠️☠️
1143. Bryce Sause: React to war eternal by arch enemy
1144. thomas thanasis: Karnivool!! Goliath!
1145. infie: In Flames - When the World Explodes. YES!
1146. Peppermint: Haken: Cockroach king
1147. ron milman: Orphaned Land- Halo Dies
1148. Swagaroni: The Contortionist-Return to Earth
1149. Geassguy360: "Demi-urge"
1150. civictech1: Protest the hero- mist
1151. Carlos A.: Here. Hope this answers your question. https://mobile.twitter.com/lostinvegas83/status/964015075995525120?lang=en
1152. navarrolevel7: Cradle of filth bro
1153. Nolan Beasinger: Or white walls by Elder
1154. silver black: Kansas .....Death of mother nature
1155. Freja Ordell: And I love that you call it the heartbeat of metal xD
1156. Lisa Johnson: You can totally tell when Ryan doesn’t like something... his face hahahahaha I love it!
1157. Manu Medina: Polyphia - G.O.A.T. funky shit you'll love it
1158. clone120: Sepultura - Ratamahatta
1159. Jam Sena: Combustion is the song for you, guys.
1160. John Bachmann: Woods of Ypres - Traveling Alone
1161. Your real dad: Animals as Leaders - The Brain Dance
1162. Guitar Guy: Pain of Salvation - Nightmist. You will love it! Please react to it.
1163. Romeu Missau: Enslaved - Thoughts Like Hammers
1164. AlintheaYoh: Protest the Hero - Mist/Animal Bones/C'est la Vie! Any of these, I think you'd love. Pleaseeeee! You'll love the drumming, guitar and I'd love to know what you think of the vocalist.
1165. Deadlock 1988: https://youtu.be/qJrEBqTCK50
1166. cestensrud: Glad this made it! Hope you guys got the Enslaved CD I sent, would be cool if you guys get around to listening to them eventually!
1167. Josh Parker: Car Bomb-Gratitude
1168. Sludge Factor: There are so many subgenres in metal, I think the really heavy bands may try to bring in fans of other subgenres but are not concerned about the mainstream at all. I love what you guys refer to as the “groove” in metal. That alone opens me up to other subgenres. You guys may or may not appreciate my taste in rap. I’ve never been a huge hip hop fan but one of my favorites is NWA If It Ain’t Rough it ain’t Me. It has a groovy little riff and what ever that percussionion effect is. None of my friends liked that one but it was my jam!
1169. Frost Pat: Also Enter Shikari, Their new album The Spark is the most approachable album, but a lot of their catalog is genre defining.
1170. montaramike: I have to say I always thought of myself as having an open mind about things but you two have me beat. Respect!
1171. Huascar Rojas: Igorrr - ieuD
1172. Carl Swanson: Car Bomb "From the Dust of This Planet"
1173. Caleb Barger: It’s about time boys
1174. Evaldas Bumeika: Machine Head - A Thousand Lies
1175. Dan Marshall: Alright guys I'm gonna blow your minds: Archspire - Calamus will Animate or Human Murmuration
1176. Freeman Demeatris: wow 2 songs by meshuggah. 0 by funkadelic, mars volta or Hendrix. you guys are not getting a proper rock education
1177. OldManTenno: @Lost in Vegas - I'm going to get to what you guys are getting at, but don't have the words for. Meshuggah does their own thing, and unless you know what it is, you can't describe it. They like to play with different time signatures, polyrythms, and patterns. Because it is not the norm, there is not necessarily a "groove" to latch on to. A lot of what they do is predicated on unpredictability. There is a reason that their stuff has been the subject of some universities for their use of music theory, and it's mainly to do with timing and how things line up at certain places. What they do is hard... you can't play this shit drunk. They are not my favorite band, but I went to one of their concerts. Seeing them pull it off live is f**king amazing. I think through your journey, you've subconsciously picked up on some of that. Love watching you guys.
1178. TerranigmaQuintet: +Rick Deckard Luckily there are a ton of great ones in their catalog that haven't been done to death elsewhere they can pick from.
1179. danyel hidalgo: DREAM THEATER - UNTHETERED ANGEL NEW SINGLE REACTION
1180. Blake U: React to Car Bomb!!!!!!!
1181. Harold Benitez: Immortal - Withstand the fall of time!!!
1182. Bones12x2: Haha....y'all need to go to Groove Addicts Anonymous.
1183. JQ LLC: The thing about demiurge is that the bass and drums and vocals are mixed WAY above the guitars, although that could be the upload.
1184. Hamrick Selby II: As a metal/music elitist you guy's are correct.
1185. Berkay Demirer: Guys you should revisit Death. Something from the album Sound of Perseverance. It is pure gold for a metal elitist, a masterpiece :)
1186. Ratcliff: +oontur- menchIf he is a demon i think he is pretty content with what he is. When he wants to go and skate with jake instead of going to church with his parents, he dont need to yell that he rather bee dead, run to his darkeneed room with the waste bags in the windows, slayer and slipknot posters all over the walls and and slam the door, start blasting Meshuggah tills his mother cry and daddy goes all Twisted Sister on him.
1187. Kralli13: Almost anything from Slughter Of The Soul by At The Gates. (Cold, Blinded By Fear, Slaughter Of The Soul, Suicide Nation, World Of Lies)
1188. Victor Figueroa: Protest the Hero-Bloodmeat or The Dilllinger Escape Plan-Milk Lizard
1189. Zed Victor: Meshuggah brought in the the 8 string revolution in metal
1190. m4570d0n: +Bpoff I think a song like C'est la Vie might be a better song to introduce them to the band. Plus the Bloodmeat video on YT has really bad audio quality.
1191. Justys Grimm: Silent Planet. If you want ridiculous lyricism that will blow your mind.. Silent Planet Silent Planet
1192. Katsi: I think a Gojira album review is on the cards soon? Hell, give us a full Gojira discography review! I'd sit and watch that all over and over!
1193. David Talbott: check out Demon Hunter any song
1194. theater of souls: symphony X Sea of lies please...
1195. Vantablack Warship: Only one true definitive great Meshuggah album : Destroy Erase Improve!
1196. Tyson Dorsey: Musically, Megadeath is awesome...but I can't stand Dave's singing. Sorry can't listen.
1197. Dyllin Trueblood: DVNE - The Crimson Path.
1198. Puny Gods: Temple of the Dog : Times of Trouble please. You would like it.
1199. Ael: 7:57 *"put you in a trance"* That's exactly what happens every time I listen Meshuggah, especially this song.
1200. Skee Yee: Get groovy to some “Monuments”!
1201. Johan Bothma: Hasnt come up in the comments but Neurotica is an awesome groovefest!
1202. Teehee186: Please protest the hero, or parkway drive , or august burns red
1203. jebbediah3: You’ve gotta check out Wage War! They’re metal core/ harsher vocals, but they’re pretty accessible than Meshuga imo
1204. Pokètrainer Red: React to *Radiohead - Paranoid Android*
1205. Damjan P: Gojira - Pray
1206. Tomas Andersson: Future Breed Machine will get you there where you start like Meshuggah))
1207. Zeta9966: Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks for listening and giving the second chance. I wish someone had suggested one of these slower tracks to begin with, but at least now you can go back to Bleed and “get it”. Most Meshuggah is that plodding head nodding groove stuff. Also they use 8-String guitars where they have two additional, lower strings. The lowest string actually matches the first fret of the lowest string of a bass. Super deep. They’re amazing live though.
1208. Joe Yuzwa: one of your best videos
1209. nno2012: Try some Symphonic Metal : Nightwish Rhapsody Epica
1210. Noam Kakashy: As asked before me - The Contortionist Language 2
1211. Ryan Lynd: So many better songs from Meshuggah, Future Breed Machine, New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Rational Gaze. Those I think fit more into a "universal appeal" category, especially Future Breed Machine
1212. Kingdom guy: Rings Of Saturn - Natural Selection
1213. Scott Hobbs: not the first time I've heard Meshuggah's sound compared to bumping into inanimate objects.
1214. gabmaye: You guys are the best react channel on youtube! I'd check out Muse - New Born or Hysteria. :)
1215. Matthew Poehler: Y'all aren't going heavy enough yet. Get into some more recent heavier stuff
1216. Anthony Barone: You need to see them live... I liked meshuggah until I went to a show then I was like... ok I get it...now I’m obsessed
1217. Killua Zoldyck: At the gates - Under a serpent sun
1218. Jeffrey Knowles: I think with having been introduced into heavier stuff, please listen to some Job For A Cowboy. Particularly "Sun of Nihility". With all the heavy stuff you have heard, this will for sure keep you engaged from start to finish.
1219. TadhgRiordan: I feel like Catch 33 is in the final stages of Meshuggah acceptance (lol). The next stage imo is Nothing (the remastered version).
1220. Michael Schneider: too hard.
1221. Wayland C: Yeah, it's strange how Meshuggah's stuff grows on you. Demiurge definitely has an entrancing/meditative element to it. Bleed is just insane and I love it now. Shoutout to The Seed (2.0) by The Roots for still bein' a banger.
1222. Shawn M. Schmidt: Metallica lost most of their audience picking up a more commercial audience with Black then load.
1223. Joseph Bastidas: Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down Silent Planet - Share The Body
1224. Sugar Shane: Howard_the_Duck that's the question.
1225. Ben Shandrow: Meshuggah is death metal tool
1226. shotgunfacelift355: Its demi-urge
1227. josh w: Search "dancing to meshuggah" shit makes me die laughing lol
1228. Corey Chatelain: Fuckin' a you guys are alright. It was only a matter of time you guys liked Meshuggah b/c of George's fondness for Gojira. The best part about bands like Meshuggah is your neighbors get to hear them too when you listen. Nile- Lashed to the Slave Stick, Utterances of the Crawling Dead or Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who is in the Water (the latter song you should do just b/c the title is almost longer than the song itself hahaha)
1229. GortDiminished: I was at the same show he was at! In LA at the Wiltern. Amazing show. Honestly life changing
1230. Vangarde: Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno!
1231. Slik: Please do Pantera
1232. Tat2artist 08: That sound you hear sounds like that because they are playing on Either 8 or 9 string guitars.
1233. Jam Sena: Behemoth - Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel
1234. Ryan Nelson: 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson!
1235. Kanglar: Dream Theater - Untethered Angel :D
1236. Michael Troutman: I love metal, but I find Meshuggah boring..... so much of it seems like I am caught in molasses and trying to get out.
1237. mmzen: Rick Deckard altered states
1238. liferescripted: Gotta have Russian Hate Project - Hell Kitchen
1239. Okla Homie: Break those bones whose sinews gave it motion??
1240. Daniel Graves: Architects!! A Day To Remember!! Issues!!
1241. Kennon Rude: Nile - Kafir! if you enjoy instrumentation, this is the song for you..
1242. Eye Sees You: Talked over the best part
1243. truthless: you need to try stoner rock / desert rock. it bounces and it groves. try some truckfighters. kyuss. dozer. elder. clutch. all amazing rock bands but get ignored because they dont make short songs for the radio
1244. Dylan Schad: "This would be like what the true metal elitists love" Yep, that's pretty much Meshuggah.
1245. Dutch van der Linde: What’s up with you guys reacting to all this extreme metal? It’s turning you off. Start of easier man, go with Disturbed. Disturbed is a “gateway” band.
1246. Pukovnik Krv: Anaal Nathrakh - Forward!
1247. Bob D: Who the hell would vote for this song over New Millinium Cyanide
1248. Rafael Monteiro: Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
1249. rsarto74: It’s pronounced “demi”, as in “demigod”, and “urge”, as in, I have the urge to watch this video again.
1250. Sergio Zambon: Carcass - Heartwork
1251. Big Dik: Just listen to Meshuggah-Rational Gaze and you will start loving Meshuggah i swear
1252. Scott Schoenkopf: The best part of Messhugah is the drumming. It is like he is playing 1 song on top and another on the bottom simultaneously...this really comes through in Bleed
1253. Kiran Buzza: Iron Maiden: Phantom of the Opera
1254. Elijah Leineke: Mudvayne - anything from first 2 albums 😇
1255. Nick Fontenot: You guys should do Black Tongue - Coma
1256. Jake McGuire: The doorstopper comment was ON POINT!!! That's Djent! hahahaha
1257. Supernothing: I would be so stoked to see you guys listen to some Streetlight Manifesto. We will fall together, Would you be impressed, Somewhere in the between or They broke him down. Any song really, but my suggestions never get any support haha
1258. Josh Ralls: Saw these guys play this song live. You can feel each one of those guitar, bass, and snare drum hits in your chest. Jens screams echo in your head, and the light show is perfectly in time with the music. People were too,g crazy on the final breakdown. It's a mesmerizing experience.
1259. Adam Sandoval: I immediately liked Bleed the first time I heard it, but I gotta say it's like their most over rated song.
1260. BLOODY FACE band & records official youtube channel: It's okay! Definately tight and well produced! Not so much my style, but heavy for sure!
1261. mvunit3: Its about time to hear the late great Chris Squire's groove and the infamous Bass riff :). Meshuggah to Yes covers all basses (no pun intended): "Variety is the spice of Life" \m/.
1262. Michael Nicol: Mushroomhead - Solitaire Unraveling!!!!
1263. Kristian H: would be better off with sextapes or ce lest vie
1264. Evan Tomsha: As far as I know meshuggah Has used seven strings in the past and eight string guitars on the newer stuff. That's part of the sound you're hearing I think.
1265. Miguel Fabrega: Acquired taste! You’re there
1266. carpna1: Desert Grins or // by Wrathchild America is a underrated band that’s right up your alley with transitions. To me they were ahead of their time. Been following you guys for a while now. Would love to hear what you think of these guys
1267. Doug Moore: Holy shit! You may now be metal heads. This transformation has been so fun to watch. "You know we like groove." Ok, then react to some groove metal: DevilDriver!
1268. Alex Blanco: Guys... Would you accept the challenge of reacting on a flamenco/fusion spanish band?
1269. Popcorn Sutton: 1:56 when the djent enters you
1270. B. Jackson: Hi guys, I love your videos, but FYI, here is a link to the meaning and proper pronunciation of the song title, care of wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demiurge
1271. Progapanda: I still believe that unless you're a drummer yourself, you should watch the drum cam live version of Bleed the first time to really appreciate what Haake is doing.
1272. Exerev: how you forget ne obliviscaris
1273. DarthKotEI: One GOLLEEE. 😅 I love you guys and I love Meshuggah. Demiurge was the song that I hoped you would try next. I felt that it is a gateway to their more abrasive stuff. The fact that you went back to Bleed to give it a second look shows that you guys really on a journey with music. You could always take an easy road and give only hot takes but you guys take the time and consider what might appeal to others. I’m really glad I subscribed.
1274. Joseph Harris: If you guys are looking for a cool djent band you should try Animals as Leaders- Cafo or physical education. They are a pretty unique band that has a really cool guitar and bass tone.
1275. P H: Triptykon would be better and they'd love it.
1276. Angel Flawed: Hey dudes, you sould react to some more jinjer like : who is gonna be the one or cloud factory
1277. Magsin: Demi ( like demi moore) urge is how I've always said it 😋
1278. Joe Lewis: Please check out Zeal and Ardor- you ain’t coming back, ship on fire or blood in the river
1279. MrFylledal: Djent is a guitar tone
1280. rock nroller: YOB - Beauty in Falling Leaves Beautiful song by a fantastic band.
1281. ControllerOfMinds: This was a great reaction and analysis! But still wondering the lack of curiousity of the word itself, the meaning of it (had to google it). Please do Insomnium "The River" (or any other one!) , and Wintersun "Sons of Winter And Stars" (Sonic Pump Studios) :D
1282. Shawn Goodwin: Monuments is a very underrated band you might enjoy. May I recommend reacting to "Leviathan" or "Atlas"?
1283. Jason Taylor: Awesome...but they would've loved FUTURE BREED MACHINE. They can handle the heaviness now!
1284. Jake Kircher: You guys really should've done "break those bones whose sinews gave it motion" the groove definitely gets you over the top lol
1285. Ninja Nick James: Would love to hear you guys react to some more Swedish metal, The Haunted, Witchery, Feared....etc.
1286. Brandon Fuller: React to dax
1287. Nicholas Cardenas: Gojira Backbone
1288. Blair Millward: Not sure if anyone has said this yet - and not sure if this will be seen by you guys. The comment you made about the door stopper spring - it's EXACTLY what I thought when first hearing a part in the Meshuggah song Catch 33. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfcF5RkCFO0 This is a very difficult "song" to follow, but after the "spring" sound, ends at 1:40, skip to 4:20. There's a cool groove part there that you will hopefully appreciate! Anyway, Catch 33 is one large song, and it's been divided on youtube into playlists, so that's why it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to start with the spring sound. It's not a very friendly album to listen to from start to finish for the casual listeners like yourselves, but there's cool bits here and there. Greets from Australia!
1289. Joe Tekavec: You guys should to a reaction video to an episode of Metalocalypse.
1290. Significant Otter: Dance Gavin Dance - Blue Dream
1291. Reinaldo Cartagena: Meshuggah is one of those that you dont like it or you love it. When meshuggah grows on you theres nothing heavier than that is like using heroin and you cant go back to weed
1292. Will Amos: I agree with you guys opinion. This band is 50%. Some of it rocks, Some of it ,maybe they were stoned and pushed record for too long.
1293. localhoast2009: Meshuggah Clockworks , Rational Gaze and Perpetual Black Second!!!
1294. Paulo Aloisio: you should see the official videos, i always think they help when it's the fist time
1295. matthew myers: At this point they should just do a review video for each album. I'd watch that.
1296. olavrell: Please do a reaction to Mgła - Exercises In Futility VI. (I recommend the live version from 2015 that comes up here on youtube.) Or Misþyrming - Söngur heiftar.
1297. Silvereye Smith: Meshuggah Clockwork is fookin awesome
1298. kenlee G: Here when you were at 20k y’all blew the fk up Gratz dudes
1299. Carlton Melson: I just hit a door stopper today also.....😂
1300. samuel shelton: new millennium cyanide crisis, just the video makes you want to headbang
1301. Tyler Kiley: Okay, SO IM FINALLY COMMENTING! I f**king love you guys and your videos... I have deep relationships with Hip-Hop and Metal. But I’m so frustrated when I watch you guys watch Meshuggah. You missed out on the f**king dopest drops in the that song Demiurge (DEMI-URGE)... Listening to Meshuggah and taking them in and making judgements on the first pass through. It’s like making a scan through a religious text and making a judgement on that religion. Meshuggah is on a math metal tip... it ain’t in no 4/4 timing like in all rocknroll to hiphop songs. Look up more on djent and try to understand that you may not be able to find Meshuggah’s rhythms to Bob your head to until you hear the song like 20 times. Listen to Demiurge like 40 more times before making a judgment Meshuggah’s - Do Not Look Down has a very similar dynamic sound like Demiurge and unlike Bleed... Listen to Do Not Look Down and Demiurge until you can sing the guitar rhythms... then your mind will be blown!!!!! Do it!!! Love everything else tho... Love it!
1302. Victoria Miller: Love several genres of metal...but cannot get into this style of growl singing. Just not for me...but tried to have open mind! 😇
1303. Letang Kgomanyane: Please react to that def Leppard
1304. Elric Newby: Great to see you guys evolve. It's interesting with Mushuggah because they were totally unnoticed for 10 years. The drummer said in an interview that they realized that they will never sell a million records but they are just happy to have a big following in the Metal community
1305. Noah C: Protest the hero!
1306. Stephen Ford: I would love to see you guys react to some Satyricon. Either K.I.N.G. or The Pentagram Burns
1307. colourfuloct: Meshuggah is an amazing experience live! "Sensory overload" is the best description I have heard so far. Please listen to Be'lakor - Countless Skies!!!
1308. toby 333: Sepultura-Territory,and I'm going to keep on requesting Metallica Damage Inc. because y'all still ain't really done Metallica's best yet.
1309. TJ P: Cool to see how your perceptions change over time. Soon you'll be back on Cannibal corpse and king diamond loving it haha
1310. The Metal Shed: Demiurge Demi Urge Demi-Urge Demiurge
1311. Cortland Wheeler: Children of Bodom "Everytime I Die" -this metal song always reminded me of a vampire theme song, I know George is into vampires! Let's hear it
1312. John H: +GrizzleyBear the whole point of these videos is to hear their educated commentary on the song. If you wanna hear the song, just go listen to the song. I'm here because I think these guys have a really in depth understanding of music, from a technical standpoint, and they present well-thought out ideas.
1313. Doug Brown: GTFOH 😂 that's the dumbest comment ever, over rated? They are very underrated kid
1314. cobei donovan: Tool- the grudge
1315. arkhampatient76: Meshuggah is my favorite band. But it took me a while after hearing them to put together what they were doing in their songs. When it clicked their sound really opened up and became phenomenal to me. Rational Gaze would have been a better choice imo
1316. Rayan Nasser: Rosemary- Deftones!!!!!
1317. David Boyd: Balls To The Wall by Accept
1318. Zebastian Sanchez: Do XXXTENTACION SKINS OR SKI MASK SLUMP GOD STOKELEY PLEASE!!
1319. Drescher1984: Meshuggah is a very good live band. They don't take themselves to serious other then there music.
1320. Jeramie Koval: React to whitechapel - brimstone
1321. metfan4l: "sounds like a doorstopper" XD
1322. Luci Ferrea: This is an overly simple Meshuggah song... please do Rational Gaze or New Millenium Cyanide Christ... these are great, also Perpetual Black Second, Stengah, Straws Pulled at Random... man, their album Nothing is almost unending haha
1323. corrado: Future Breed Machine would be a much better reaction IMO
1324. Ant Kings: chk JESUSE PIECE - PUNISH!!!!!
1325. mvunit3: And you are correct! They have said the same in older interviews. I would suggest you hear the "Destroy Erase Improve" album from 1995. And then an Ep a few albums later called "I". And if adventurous . . . Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects, the lead guitarists solo album. Its as if guitarist Allan Holdsworth created an extreme album.
1326. Alex Summers: Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive (album version)
1327. SN - PRODUCTIONS: You should check out THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN!!
1328. Kaiserschadel: Polymeter: 2 different time signature being played in parallel. (Eg: Kashmir Guiter 1 2 3 why the drums are playing 1 2 3 4. After 4 cycles of guitar line back up. Poly-rhythm: 2 different time signature being made to fit into the same bar. So 5/4 beat will take the same time as 4/4 beat giving a 5:4 poly-rhythm. Dream Theater Mirror intro part guitar playing a constant 4/4 while drums and keyboard change to fit evenly into that 4/4. Rhythmic displacement: Displaced Pattern that is played over another pattern in the same time but 1's of the displaced pattern accent a different note on the base rhythm shifting to upbeat down beat or even a whole note with each bar. Good Example is Dream Theater Dance of Eternity. Leader guitar is playing a 5/8 pattern rhythmically displaced from the drums. Meshuggah predominately use polymeters but they are also use poly-rhythms and rhythmic displacement (especially lead guitar). In a sense the comments that they always play 4/4 is correct cuz usually the snare and hit hats are playing 4/4. But the bass drums and guitars are usually playing in some other time signature. Pineal Gland optics intro riff for example. Snare and Hit Hat constant 4/4. Guitar and kick drums 6/4 14 note pattern. Lead Guitar weird 8 note melodic pattern played as quarter notes but doesn't fit evenly into either 4/4 or 6/4 creating this weird tune. On top of all this they do some crazy offbeat shenanigans (like in Combustion) and syncopated grooves all the while keeping that head banging feel. Really innovative band with clear influence from Jazz.
1329. Hyper evvin: Mikasa by Veil of Maya!!
1330. michael simard: WHEN I SEE YOU LAGHTING AND HAVING FUN I HAVE TO LIKE THE VIDEO THAT S WHAT ITS ABOUT
1331. Knight Fright: Queens of the Stone Age - "Song for the Dead"
1332. Mike Fezwaldo: C'mon guys, let the people see what the people want!
1333. TheLukieBoi1: Have they changed out that trash speaker yet?
1334. Kian Khorsandi: check my dying brideee!
1335. Juan Cantu: Sloppy American sluggish nu metal SUCKS.
1336. Thomas T: I loved that you went back and compared it to Bleed. Showed that it if you don't like everything about a band you might just need to get used to it. That why a lot of people start with less complex or "softer" metal bands and then find their "extremer niche".
1337. Eirik: Guys!! Chris Rivers, Oswin Benjamin and Denzil Porter out with a new cypher on TeamBackPack!! You have to check it out, even better than the last one. You guys are in for a treat🔥
1338. Todefy91: Meshuggah - Lethargica
1339. Robert Lenn: You've done Meshuggah, can I get a Septicflesh Vampire from Nazareth reaction?
1340. David Mathes: Ok , within the ruins band- incomplete harmony....it will knock your socks of like Gojira cool guitar accents meet super heavy groove powerful band, they are getting more famous and the production and sound quality is insane.
1341. AdrummeR: Leprous - Slave! :D
1342. Jacob Daugherty: React to Volbeat
1343. Andy DEFUR: As a metal vocalist, i would suggest that you listen to the vocals as an instrument adding to the heaviness..Not so much as a way to convey a story or lyrics...Not to say that the metal vocalist dont have great lyrics, because they absolutely do.its just kind of part of the elitism of the metal genre that you expect, at least at some point. to have to look the lyrics up..lol
1344. Jim M: Personally, rather than another Gojira song, I'd like to see them react to another heavy band from France, Celeste - "Cette Chute Brutale"
1345. Mohammad Hassan: You guys should definitely try Enslaved.
1346. johnbeamon: You guys are awesome. I only found you a few days ago. This is a really open-minded experiment, and I'm loving it. FYI, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/demiurge (deh-mee-erj, as in "demigod") 1 capitalized a : a Platonic subordinate deity who fashions the sensible world in the light of eternal ideas. b : a Gnostic subordinate deity who is the creator of the material world. 2 : one that is an autonomous creative force or decisive power. Marvel comics has a cosmic being named Demiurge who seeded the Earth with their own life force, e.g.
1347. Pratik Jawahar: Do dagger by vildhjarta if you guys really want to get into some commercial djent that's hard but not too much so! So it's actually pretty groovy while being pretty hard
1348. krulldunk: Scar Symmetry - The Illusionist ! Some more clean vocals and melodies in it! Give it a try friends i think you're gonna apreciate it!
1349. Amit Dutta: I've never clicked on a video so fast, even during my exams! Also, The Ghastly Silence by Shining and The Woven Web by Animals as Leaders! Come on y'all.
1350. Griff head: Cryptopsy- White Worms
1351. Robert Lenn: I like what both of you said! This is for a specific audience, but you two have open minds and understand how complex this music is. That's the POINT. When you listen to it enough, kinda like reading books..., you just... get it. You're a little blown away. You get a "feeling". It makes you THINK. "Wow.... how did they DO that?!"
1352. Bjorarjo: Yeeeah, The gift og guilt live at brixton..
1353. OgDerpy: SYLOSIS - TERAS!!!
1354. tomeshuggah: After the Burial - Mire or Lost in the Static
1355. The Kiosk: Revisiting bleed. Hell. Yes. This is a flawless execution of a reaction video.
1356. GhettoSuave: Every time I die- Map Change
1357. TRIPxCORE: Their guitars sound so low because they use 8-string guitars as opposed to normal 6-string guitars. I can understand you not getting into this vocal style, but this song has a groove that Bleed didn't have.
1358. drumboarder1: I disagree wholeheartedly with needing to appeal to the masses, that waters down the product and gimps potential creativity
1359. taup184: +GrizzleyBear Not everything. They skip what they have to because of copywrite. They wouldn't have to skip Nightwish.
1360. Oh: demiuge won over rational gaze??: haha. i guess you guys really dont want these dudes to get into meshuggah huh?
1361. MedIevalCyrax: Never liked DJENT,most processed/robotic guitar tone I've heard.
1362. daarkengeist: Plz do Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
1363. thecrazynoemad: Meshuggah has that signature guitar sound partly because the guitarists play 8 string guitars so yea they are very low frequency, and the bass player has a very metallic sound that is signature to them
1364. Justin Hodge: A doorstopper does vibrate like a guitar string does.
1365. Naytone: You guys gotta listen to CarBomb now
1366. dgvtx82: neuroticgothguy This is a step in the growing direction for them
1367. stapler: I think you're almost ready to go back to Animals as Leaders, or the side projects TRAM/Mestis. Not just yet, but once you get over the 4/4, and need for vocals, you'll get there.
1368. N O M U R A: "I am Colossus" was the choice,but....😖
1369. mitch mcdonald: You have a great point sir , you are not getting a bunch of response because these dudes have mentioned that multiple times in past videos Haha. They understand that but don't always dig it haha
1370. Mike Wright: Demi-Urge
1371. glui2001: Thx for giving Bleed another listen! ;)
1372. Veronica Lake: 🤨👎🏼
1373. Rich Veeck: The singing makes it impossible to listen to. Sad. Oh well.
1374. martini1179: Ryan, I vehemently disagree that artists like Meshuggah should try to have a universal appeal. To do so would be to dilute one's artform and force oneself to be dependent on popular sentiment regarding taste for one's career. In effect you want Meshuggah to do what pop stars to--conform, and produce large amounts of vapid content that appeal to the lowest common denominators of taste. It's a little bit like wanting Michelangelo to paint nothing but corporate billboards.
1375. Xavier Rodriguez: Rational Gaze and New Millennium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggah!!!!
1376. Jorge Aguirre: You guys really need to listen to Meshuggah’s “New Millennium Cyanide Christ”. Hella groove (:
1377. Brad Thompson: High On Fire - Rumors Of War
1378. Hezikaiha: Hey brothers, how about doing Mushroomhead - Qwerty, Alestorm - Drink, and more FFDP!
1379. Josh Greller: Have you guys done a Decapitated song? I vote for "Nihility (Anti-Human Manifesto)."
1380. Nikolai Jermihov: Judging Meshuggah is like judging Kanye or Drake. Too influential. Too much universal appeal in every single one of their projects. I have to absolutely disagree. .... This album was almost a minimalist album. ObZen has its own archetype. The Nothing album was avante garde. Their debut album was a poor mans metallica. Destroy Erase Improve was the ethos and pathos of djent. Everybody was doing the soulja boy dance to Future Breed Machine. Clockworks and Bleed are a tour de force. I'm scraping the surface. But I wouldnt have bothered listening to metal if it wasnt to Meshuggah... much like I wouldnt listen to hip hop if it wasnt for Kanye. Or stay in the game if it wasnt for Drake. There's universal appeal. It's funny how either genre still doesnt transcend their own nominal labels as a "genre"... but the universality I'd argue lies in the appeal to rhythm and experimention that's so far reaching, it makes the entire concept subjective. What is the essence of metal? What is the essence of hip hop? ..... Kanye defines it yet simultaneously makes us question it. I'd say Meshuggah plays an identical role. That's how you measure greatness.
1381. Michael Richards: Scar Symmetry - The Illusionist! Or The Iconoclast!!!
1382. Anthony Ciminera Jr.: Been waiting for this for a long time!! Been requesting Meshuggah for a long time!! Next gotta be “Dancers to a Discordant System (LIVE) 🤘🏻🤘🏻
1383. Jordan Mayer: The sword - CLOAK OF FEATHERS
1384. AnUnnamed3vil: Y'all still ain't ready lol
1385. chinchu: RAMMSTEIN !
1386. Deanimator22: THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS THE SHIT is an accurate description
1387. Steavie Morrow: Black Tongue: A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh ( a Celtic Frost cover)
1388. Ray Thillemann: Agalloch “Not Unlike the Waves” Alcest “Ecailles de lune part 2”
1389. MRmagic11111: Meshuggah - Neurotica
1390. loaditz: Another excellent video. But guys you have so far ignored a very influential punk band, the Misfits (Danzig era). This band's influence crossed genres as they have influenced many of the most well known metal bands including Metallica and Megadeth
1391. Графоня Великий: Ха, я всасывал Мешугу года три, пока не прозрел, а эти уважаемые люди со второго прослушивания, что ж, мое почтение хД.
1392. David Mathes: Its Within the Ruins Song: Objective reality Melodic vocals Heavy vocals Guitar technically, but also major groove and heavy. Super tight fast, groovy drummer Insane bass player. I LOVE THE messuggha bleed, but Within the ruins is like a cut above...in all category...check, if you disagree..tell me im in bs. Im life long metalheads and almost pro guitarist, and Messugga is just"ok"
1393. Richard H: Yea, u guys shouldve done Rational Gaze instead
1394. Cambino: Red Sector A by Rush. Been a bit since you've done Rush.
1395. cuttingedgecomix: SLAYER FOREVER
1396. Chesty McUnderpants: Zeal & Ardor - Don't you dare!
1397. MrKornhead: meshuggah- Dancers to discordant system
1398. Bourbon Bob: Should have done Do Not Look Down. It has more groove and is easier to listen to.
1399. jhill76john: "It makes you want to nod your head." LOL! You really need to watch a video of a Meshuggah concert.
1400. Hauntr: Was really hoping they would do Future Breed Machine lol
1401. DScin: Been following for a minute, see a lot of Gojira comments haha!! Laughed my ass off @ your Bleed reaction, cause, well, I knew! And I died when you said "Y'all play too much"! I wanna give props for looking back into the work the band! Love it and glad you guys are still running with it! Would LOVE you to look into more Type O Negative! Have you heard their song "Kill All The White People"? Keep doing what you guys do, cause we are loving it. Thanks guys!!
1402. aidil mubarock: A lot of meshuggah sound are machinery inspired.
1403. SnooperGnar: Dimmu Borgir - Gateways
1404. Burningdown - Official: I like you guys. Door stopper. LOL. Still not forgiving you for the Dogman review... but I'm holding out... :) But of course, opinions are opinions. You guys are hilarious :) Keep up the good work.
1405. Hugo Fernandes: Greetings from Portugal. Here goes my usual suggestion to 4 portuguese bands. 1) Process of Guilt with "Feral Ground": https://youtu.be/g8iTsuwWxjI 2) Dollar Llama with "Louder": https://youtu.be/-ultHdm1pcI 3) Sinistro with "Abismo" (they sing in portuguese): https://youtu.be/mKO3vUlhSZQ 4) W.A.K.O. with "Drifting Beyond Reality": https://youtu.be/lRXJvDejSrQ Give a try to the unknown and Keep on Rockin' in a freethinker world! \m/
1406. ryan xtha: demi urge
1407. KnifiNtheHeart: Was just listening to this in the car
1408. Spirit Theory: Yeeeeeah Bleed is one of those that really grows on you; after a few listens it's really hard to not enjoy some of those grooves. I agree with the point that to reach that elusive status of "truly great" a band needs to be able to extend its appeal beyond the boundaries of fans within their genre; there are plenty of bands that are fully aware that what they're doing isn't going to have that extended appeal. Nothing wrong with it, it's a super rare thing for a band to stumble across that trait unintentionally and capitalize without compromising their original style. I'd recommend you guys check out Monuments. Bunch of songs would be good choices; Atlas is probably the best bet though.
1409. GrizzleyBear: +taup184 I guess their channel is the only targeted one considering many have done it and the vids are still up ;)
1410. Joel Martinez: Dude! You listened my favorite song of meshuggah! Good review
1411. OldManTenno: +matternicuss No problem dude. I probably could have worded it better. :P
1412. Mitch Berg: Parkway Drive - Wishing Wells
1413. regor5150: Metal has no interest in "reaching out" to everyone. That's why we love it so much. Metal is for Metalheads. Meshuggah isn't trying to steal fans from Taylor Swift, and I'm good with that.
1414. Stonesorrow: Minor note: the DEMI-urge was (according to wiki) "the fashioner of the real, perceptible world after the model of the Ideas."
1415. WebsterA: Thank you!!!
1416. Jason Ogden: “Symptom of the universe” is awesome, also “megalomania” but that is to long to react to
1417. AnUnnamed3vil: Now. Do Poolspray by Veil of Maya
1418. Kyle97x: you’re becoming desensitised to harsh vocals :D
1419. Håvard Ramberg: Demi - *urge*
1420. Chickenbeek: Black Sabbath - Die Young
1421. WouterBMX: Please react to Ghost Love Score from Nightwish, live at Buenos Aires!
1422. Raoul Duke: Van Halen- I’m the One
1423. The Apartment Woodturner: Primo Victoria(English version)- Sabaton Some really good power metal
1424. Darius Vega: Meshuggah can also be called Algebra Metal. Listen to the subtle & constant riff changes; calculated tempo; the drumming! I grew up listening to everything in the 80's, mostly Hip Hop & Metal. In my opinion, you should really consider "Combustion" for your next Meshuggah track because you will absolutely love the drums & bass guitar. You want a heavy groove that a Hip Hop head can dig & nod to? Combustion will get you amped my brothers!
1425. Raphael Bleu: People argue over whether or not "djent" can even be considered a thing. It basically just means "sounds like Meshuggah".
1426. moffe2k: They nodded their heads, they liked the main riff and gave the song a thumbs up, but it was not playlist material. So I don't think they've listened to Machine Head after that, and that tells me they need to hear more and see if it makes the playlist.
1427. Adam Rushka: Behemoth - O Father O Satan O Son
1428. Derek Miltimore: I think this might be in the future... But not yet
1429. jojasa: Djent will now be referred to as door stopper flicking metal
1430. The Kiosk: Comment from before viewing: as a bet, I'd say you guy will now recognize just how actually musical meshuggah is among their peers.😃
1431. Ryan C: Future Breed Machine would literally rip your tits off
1432. jingoist: It,,,,,, is,,,,,,,,,not,,,,,,,,enjoyable.....no matter how you cut it ,,,twist it ,,,or sugar coat it ,,,,its not
1433. xadeuz: DREAM THEATER - HOME Best quality YouTube: Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York [HQ] Go to: 42:00!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
1434. K L: Flotsam & Jetsam - No Place for Disgrace(unmastered). Old school thrash metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBE3mXKKw40 Flots Till Death!
1435. Lewis rsps: Trivium - Until the world goes cold
1436. Deft One: NEW MILLENNIUM CYANIDE CHRIST
1437. evilvet: Originally i was no fan, but i forced myself into it...after repeated listening, i realized they are too tight to ignore. It has to be a pinnacle in metal accomplishment. There are bands that can crank out some incredible albums occasionally, they've done it consistently.
1438. Kenny Alderfer: Meshuggah did not create Djent in fact Djent in my eyes shouldn't be a genre, all it really is a "description" of how Frederick tune his guitar that's just how he plays and it just so happens that's the sound that occurred the word djent is just describing the sound it made. Meshuggah are in extreme Progressive Heavy Metal band that utilize Groove Metal a derivative of Thrash
1439. muhammad Osama: Never clicked on a video this fast in my whole life , React to Architects Hereafter , you guys will love it not going to say anything more
1440. Per Christian Holm: Why don't you guys push for Straws pulled at random? The hypnotic riffs and the beautiful melodic solo. These guys would love that stuff.
1441. RequiemDead: True artistry is writing music that appeals for yourself, the artist. As a musician that is in a band, I write music that I want to hear. I will never ever want to write music for just appeal purposes. Anyone that goes out of their way to write music just to appeal to the masses is missing the point of being a musician and an artist. Like you guys promote, free thinkers, that's what a musician should be, a free thinker.
1442. matthew myers: A "pop" artist is able to gain mass appeal and popularity, and then experiment. It may turn off some of their fans sure, but as long as the music is good they will make more fans and usually get more critical acclaim as well. It certainly does not work the other way around for metal bands usually. Metallica did it sure, it's their pioneering work in metal and the black album that made them great. Not what they've been doing since after the black album.
1443. Gabriel Fernandez: Yes please! Royal Blood are amazing. Specially when you consider they're a duo
1444. Kent Karlsson: Rational gaze was second place?! Make it the first place now! XD please :)
1445. LordEsspresso: Skinny Puppy - Tin Omen
1446. Samb1011TEK: We have very similar music tastes.
1447. Not Normal: +Leon Tranter wtf
1448. Chris Bergsten: Hey guys, you're touching on a very old argument in the art world - what makes art good? Should good art always go to the audience and meet them at their level somehow - like you were saying about appealing to everyone - or it it okay for art to challenge people, make them adjust _their_ idea of what art should be or how to interpret it? Or _must_ it challenge people? Of course, no one knows the answer. You guys appreciated Demiurge - and then Bleed - in a way you wouldn't have done if you hadn't listened to some pretty heavy stuff already. You made that journey _because_ you went to extreme metal and tried to understand it, instead of demanding that it appeal to your tastes and expectations at the time. And now you're able to appreciate things that challenged you before, so does that mean that consuming challenging art expanded your perspective?
1449. NightStalker synthwave: HELL NO.
1450. Scott Martin: Thanks guys:) Seriously please do Future Bleed machine by Meshuggah. Will blow you away
1451. Paul Perlberg: Strapping Young Lad - Almost Again... Please!
1452. Metalisgreat Metalisawesome: So glad you guys checked this out. I reckon you should revisit Meshuggah from time to time. If one day for some reason you find you’ve acquired the metalhead taste for sonic violence and brutality, you may then just fall in love with them 😂 It that day comes you will also discover that Meshuggah are the mighty and omniscient sages of groove (imo). Also if you ever get the chance to see them live, do it, it’s incredible (perhaps smoke a fat one or maybe even eat a few shrooms beforehand for optimal effects 😉. They’ll be amazing in any case though). Awesome work as usual guys, keep it up. You two inspired me to properly delve into the realm of hip hop for the first time, so thank you☺️
1453. scorpiodefined to a T: More deftones
1454. Anthony Everingham: +dimitrieavram not anymore. In Flames sucks ass now.
1455. Rhonda Thibodeaux: Definitely not anything I would listen to but that’s why y’all get me every time watching until the end regardless of my taste. Your breakdown & appreciation for the actual music is so refreshing still!! Keep it up!
1456. Teach me To football: You should checkoutThe sleep by Pantera.
1457. TheCriticom: Guys please try DEICIDE dead by dawn please please please.
1458. David Wallin: i'm so excited right now!!! your heads are bobbing <3
1459. Phil Boorman: Architects! Hereafter!
1460. LordOfTheGame009: You guys should react to Prancer or Limerent Death by The Dillinger Escape Plan. Or try The Pecan Tree or Baby Blue by Deafheaven.
1461. Davey Jones616: Meshuggah is metal, but if it was made by aliens.
1462. Danny BallsofDoom: DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT - GRACE
1463. Growlizing: I love that you now can correctly identify 'hard' and 'heavy' guys ;)
1464. jamatheo: I take it you're not on their Patreon... ;)
1465. HohnerCornell: Lamb of God: Vigil.
1466. Konstantin Shootkin: Napalm Death - Greed Killing No real hopes, but anyway.
1467. Kralli13: Cradle Of Filth - Cthulhu Dawn could be interesting also.
1468. Andrew C: Architects
1469. Henkan: Pain of Salvation - A Trace of Blood!
1470. Chad Martin: Veil of Maya - Mikasa
1471. Jason Kramer: Something off of chaosphere should have won
1472. CloneCommando501st: Demon hunter , on my side
1473. InfinyteGard3n: If they have to react to Clockwork they need to check the drum video of Thomas Haake !
1474. hello2oblivion: Please do Avatar, I think you would like their sound and no one does reactions to them. Try maybe Let it Burn or The Eagle Has Landed to start, but I think they are one of those bands you have to listen to a lot if their stuff because its all so different.
1475. kyler oliver: HAKEN - PUZZLE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!
1476. Jessi Brunson: Why are some of these comments from a month ago?
1477. Carson Grueneich: Future breed machine next
1478. john landry: This song live makes you feel like you're FLOATING
1479. BassasaurusRex: I feel like Future Breed should have won. It is the song that has defined metal the last 25 years. Demiurge is still a bad ass song though. The guitar sound odd because they are playing detuned 8 string guitars. Meshuggah is largely responsible for making 7 and 8 string guitars popular.
1480. DarthKotEI: Eddie Cardwell Yeah me too
1481. InfinyteGard3n: Live in Wacken if possible !
1482. frodo the hobo: I'm a big fan of meshuggah but if i'm being honest i feel like bleed is almost just an exercise in excess. Its ridiculously heavy. Its showing off, meshuggah is very very talented. Bleed was written just to see if they could do it kinda thing.
1483. Chad Gagnon: Meshugga - Closed Eye Visuals
1484. Ron Perry: U GUYS ARE THE BEST
1485. Oilid: I'm so happy you gave Meshuggah another shot. They're my favorite metal band BECAUSE they are DIFFERENT! I only speak for myself but their rhythmic shifts mesmerize me.
1486. Wheezing Grampus: First track I heard of theirs when I got the album way back when. I still put it on playlists all the damn time 20 years later 👌
1487. napalmfred: GO!!!!!!!
1488. Copper Lobo: Man you guys are talking way over my head. I'll just say that Meshuggah is a band for the more serious listener. They are a band that other bands love... sort of like Rush although in a different category. That's not to say the "average" listener can't enjoy it. Anyways that's my non musician input.
1489. Exia: Ne Obliviscaris - Intra Venus
1490. Cody Plucker: Iced Earth - Stormrider
1491. Rika: Actually, metal elitists probably hate meshuggah and the whole "djent" thing, for them trve metal would probably be black metal from the darkest pits of hell where you cant hear anything but static noise, now thats trve kvlt \m/
1492. metaldad1974: When you guys going to get back to Pantera? Cowboys from hell, cemetery gates, hollow?
1493. Master Vol: Fire From the Gods - Excuse Me
1494. Nick Drage: Sleep - Dragonaut
1495. Gregory Chri: Lol those vocals make me laugh and LMAO
1496. M83 Collective: Rings of Saturn - Parallel Shift
1497. Marcus Gross: I am so hsppy you guys are getting into Meshuggah!
1498. Araneo Tattoo: That's the first time I ever comment on YouTube: I'm so disappointed that you guys watched hot for teachers with the video and demiurge without the video... The other way round would have been much better for you guys!
1499. Phrank: Thy Art is Murder - Holy War
1500. Nicorido Tarkus: Meshuggah - Stengah or Perpetual Black Second
1501. Franklin Kerr: Hey guys. First off, I love that you guys gave Bleed a second listen. Second, if you ever get a chance, check out Anubis by Septicflesh. Great video, keep it up!
1502. Mike Adams: That zone........is the mosh pit.
1503. Napoleon Bonn: ah wish you did rational gaze
1504. 02SplinterCell02: Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence
1505. Josh Ralls: *going crazy* wouldn't let me edit
1506. jwax1792: It’s crazy seeing you guys on the metal journey. It took my a long time to get into meshuggah, it just sounded like noise at first, but then after revisiting it a little later just like you something clicked and now they are one of my favorite bands. You guys should check out some of their live videos they sound just as good on the albums and you get even more into the grove with their light show.
1507. Bruce Brown: Messhugah Destroy Erase Improve album for a proper experience
1508. OnitsukaTiger82: Car bomb - Nonagon
1509. New York Giants: Ice Nine Kills-A Grave Mistake
1510. ChipmunkAsylum: Try SOUL BURN. Very different, cool song from Meshuggah
1511. Thelema: I'd like to see them react to Antistar.
1512. Ad_: Korn - Predictable
1513. metalheavythrasher: You need to revisit Pantera! Please!!!
1514. Brian Lipski: Also new on Meshuggah. Gives the brain another idea of music for sure.
1515. Lennart Martin: Yeah, I don't get why people suggest the hardest and most repetetive songs first tbh.. Future breed machine has some room to breathe and process what's going on.
1516. Samu Sammale: +Andrew Swegler and thats exactly why i want them to react to polyphia
1517. Timothy Brice: Rational Gaze or Future Breed Machine!!!
1518. Pulse Pork: React to cryptopsy phobophile
1519. MovieGuy666: great song, i just discovered Power Trip recently.
1520. Xander Martinez: "Sucking vomit acting like its honey" is bars
1521. Daniel Wonsover: Best video you guys have done. Love that you referenced the Cannibal video and the freezing moon video. Love that you guys revisited bleed. Dug the conversation on the value of accessibility (and universal appeal)
1522. Jeremy Taylor: Church of the cosmic skull - evil in your eye (video)
1523. selig: This is the thing about reviews and bands like Meshuggah. You can't review their later works when you've not spend enough time on their earlier works. Meshuggah is a band that has evolve while at the same time staying true to their sound. Its like a book, you don't go straight to the middle you need to start from the first page, you need to hear their story. Its not for everyone but for people who adore Meshuggah they know that this band is one of the most important bands in history
1524. Shawn Patterson: Clicked on this so fast man!!! Hahah
1525. Alex Ottomano: Please do gojira DELIVERANCE!!
1526. dressu24: Children Of Bodom!!!
1527. andersjaevel: Meshuggah - Bleed (full version)
1528. Dan Sterling: I'm shocked that Future Breed Machine wasn't near the top of the list
1529. Skrap Post: Jim M One of them is ok, the second one is complete garbage.
1530. Friedrich Jens: I see Meshuggah, i press "Like". Goddamnit, they are just insanely good, heavy, technical, groovy once you get it... And live with the light show, it actually puts you in a trance - insaaaaane!
1531. mvunit3: They are missing out on TONS of Prog Metal bands, they haven't even touched on Fates Warning yet :(.
1532. Michael Martinez: I think you guys are awesome. Try this 80s band called TESLA Ione of the best bands with 2 awesome guitarist. Try SONGS LIKE COMIN AT YOU LIVE, OR PARADISE
1533. Noah Waters: Issues-hooligans
1534. sheepnoisebah: bout time we got more metal content
1535. Bantz Rayder: Good song. I’d vote for Disease, Injury, Madness or Obfuscation personally
1536. Jesús Figuera: I would've like Break those bones whose sinews gavae it motion :c
1537. Isaac Joseph: "Soen - Sister" would be a great prog band to check out
1538. TOAOM123: But does it djent?
1539. Not Normal: Love that song, it's what got me into meshuggah
1540. jm71681: "THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE IS THE SHIT!!" That is the best summation of Bleed ever >:)
1541. Devon Duncan: Man love you guys but its pronounced demi - urge lol. Sorry but y'all drove me nuts lol.
1542. a7i20ci7y: Demiurge, pronounced demi urge. In gnosticism a demiurge is a creator who is subordinate to a supreme being. Meshuggah is all about the polyrhythms, which is why you can groove to it, but it's sometimes hard to keep in the groove. You have to find an element and latch on to it. Then you can find a second element and latch on to both rhythms. The solos are jazz like in their improvisation.
1543. T3h P33j: "Sounds like when you hit a door stopper." I'm dying. Because, as a big Meshuggah fan, I gotta say, you're not wrong, George.
1544. Herrera Gonzalez: Go into Symphonic Metal Genre.I recommend Nightwish-Ghost-love score (live at argentina)
1545. Sam Tunnicliff: Hey I'm just really glad you revisited Meshuggah!! Its certainly an acquired taste but you recognise the skill and creativity and I'm just so stoked I get to see someone's first impression to this music
1546. Eduardo Ribeiro: We need a Devin Townsend second chance with the song Deadhead live at the Royal Albert Hall!!!
1547. Rob Pierce: Man.... I’ve been suggesting this song for over a year. Erised by Periphery. I wish you would’ve watched it when you gave periphery a 2nd chance. C’mon guys. Just give it a listen. Purdy please
1548. Sol Younis: I'm actually doing a playlist from the suggestions. Thanks guys
1549. GrizzleyBear: +John H I know I know I've alrdy said no offense to these guys and have heard most of the music they do. These guys are good but they're not the only ones. I can understand pausing because of copyright but just can't get by the skipping. That's just my opinion. We like what we like. I disagree on the skipping but that's just me. There's a channel I won't drop here who is very educated in music and never skipps. Pauses from time to time throughout the song. I have my preference as you all. Not hating on these guys at all.
1550. Erin Crowell: My favourite to digest some chuggy Meshuggah is by running and running and then running some more. The groove really becomes you. Glad you gave them a second chance! I hope you have fun delving into the more extreme and obscure.
1551. LDC Tech: Megadeth- DIADEMS
1552. Zach Johnson: You guys should do avenged sevenfold mad hatter!
1553. Modnar621: I wish you guys would do symphonic metal. Try Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken
1554. Thomas Mack: Greydon Square’s Omniverse deserves so much more attention and a reaction due to him being an underground freethinking hip hop genius!
1555. Cultof Ian: imma be honest Meshuggah isn't as good as a lot of people make it out to be. especially since the 2000s. Y'all should check out their older stuff, it's less experimental and more thrashy.
1556. Matt Petty: Anything off of Jason Richardson's I album
1557. Thelema: I think Dancers to a Discordant System would give them more sections to analyze.
1558. Crazyplonker 01: Guys you need to react to "Meshuggah - Nostrum" of the latest album. No one has done that yet and it's such an underrated song. You'll love it when it kicks in at the 2 min mark! Respect from the UK!
1559. Hudson Barth: +Tony M I've been saying WWMiH for so long. I completely agree with you on requesting songs tailored to them and not tailored to our own favorites. The same goes for other bands as well
1560. TheMasonator777: Like!
1561. wacoonfire: Long time watching first time commenter...I’ve been listening to this band since 96 and I love them, unfortunately the patronage has you listening to things later in the library without first getting a feel for the roots. Destroy erase improve is their second LP and my favorite album that being said the EP None has some of the best songs the band has ever made. Gods of Rapture is amazing that along with Future Breed Machine from Destroy Erase Improve and New Millennium Cyanide Christ from Chaosphere are it...if you listen to those songs and feel like it’s not for you then that’s it, your good. I like Meshuggahs newer stuff but for me it doesn’t compare to those albums. Just my opinion, keep up the reviews. I like your channel 👍. Check out deftones hexagram
1562. edward fabian Rodas: once again, you guys deliver honesty. Now that you have gone through death and some black metal, I definitely recommend Emperor - The loss and curse of reverence -
1563. Jeffery Carel: Should do a reaction on: Attila - About That Life
1564. Caleb Degrechie: Gojira- L'enfant sauvage
1565. justin b: Animals as leaders. CAFO. Do it now!!
1566. Power and Pose: Haste the day - place that most deny 🤘🏻
1567. Joe Yuzwa: i like lost in vegas videos before the ad is over
1568. Burgundy Gold: I like juice
1569. Gavin MacDonald: As you put it, to "Catch the groove" from my perspective is a very important part of listening to Meshuggah. It is quite complex and off balance/disjointed but you can almost always nod your head to it, no matter how chaotic it sounds. There is a common groove there and it just makes the rest of the musicality stand out. Just my opinion but yeah, it is what it is.
1570. He Focking Left The Band: I think it's absolutely awesome that you guys have given this another chance. Now that you've been pulled on you gotta check out some of their more mind-blowing technical stuff.
1571. Bruno Tonelo: Sepultura
1572. XerDav: nice, it's always cool to hear your thoughts on metal music. though i'm gonna still try to get some dubstep and heavy bass music suggestions through someday i hope. btw, as far as rap goes, do you guys like Tyler The Creator, Aesop Rock, or IshDARR at all?
1573. Peanutbutta27: One of my favorite song by Meshuggah
1574. foodforthegods: Curious to see how this one's gonna go. God knows I've been giving Meshuggah a lot of second chances over the years. Also, do Kyuss! Make the poll, I'll be there! Love <3
1575. DeadlyHabit: thisi is a tune , check outsome crust punk shit lik amebix or infest some time/
1576. ScumbagSteve: +CloneCommando501st Omerta for sure
1577. Jose Arriaga: They have songs that don’t need you to have an acquired taste that are just great. My introduction to them was Catch 33...I was very confused at first listen lol One of my fav bands
1578. Afipacrdl 7: fear factory - cyber waste
1579. anton huizinga: immortal - at the heart of winter
1580. fatbeer85: Need that awesome heavy sound with an awesome groove? Check out clouds over California by devildriver! I like how you went back to listen to bleed though! I think bleed is a much better song though cause i can really groove to it! I also happen to listen to a bunch of djent so i guess i got used to the unusual rhythm they use. Maybe clouds isnt as groovy as i thought? =/
1581. michael cooper: Blessed Black Wings!
1582. Evan Lunak: No one likes Meshuggah onnthe first listen, loved the video! Haha gotta check out doomsday by architects!
1583. Dreamer Deceiver: Yes, YES! And absolutely it should be roundabout!!! ......Or starship trooper
1584. Makesh¡fT™: my childhood song
1585. Anders Thorstensson: Love you guys! Proud Swedish Meshuggah fan here. You should arrange for a Gojira/Meshuggah show, it will blow your mind. BTW, it's Demi-urge, like Demi-God. Great video as always! 👊❤️😍
1586. Arthur Cavalieri Bastos: Hey guys, I really appreciate your job! You two deal with the “opened mind” thing very seriously, and I really love it! I’m right you already got that the main thing to like a music genre is if that kind of song matches with your feelings, because we can see a lot of talent on all genres of music in general... There’s another suggestion of metal for you (possibly with bias, I know): Gojira - Where Dragons Dwell Live (Hellfest 2013) Thank you for continuing posting videos on Youtube! Your channel deserves to grow even more, as soon as your Patreon! I would like to assign to the last one, but I can’t do that by now. See you in the next video and keep it up!!!
1587. Hazi59 _: You guys really need to check out some more Killswitch Engage.
1588. Van of the Damme: Since you are clearly in the seconds chance mood, I have another one for you. Just as Bleed might have been a dive to the deep end, CAFO from Animals as leaders was way more so. One their best songs and easiest to get into is Physical education. Wont regret it. Cheers
1589. Rafael Ramos: SLIPKNOT - EYELESS or SLIPKNOT - (SIC)
1590. White Devil: Pantera - A New Level
1591. Brandon Mains: Whitechapel - end of flesh or possibilities of an impossible existence Infant Annihilator cuntcrusher or unholy gravebirth Dying Fetus Bringing back the glory Carnifex bury me in blasphemy
1592. Jim M: Also, in case you guys didn't know, In Flames currently has two songs from their new album available for streaming right now, and word on the street is that they aren't bad. I haven't heard em yet, but metalinjection.net has an article with a link if you're curious.
1593. Dominik Klementowski: Meshuggah is definitely not a catchy band. It took me a while to fully appreciate them. Songs for beginners: New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Corridor Of Chameleons, Rational Gaze (!!!), Combustion.
1594. Fred: Rolo Tomassi - Rituals
1595. CloneCommando501st: TemporaTV no mate they are the complete opposite of godly
1596. Bob Hohman: Listen to Alien Weaponry. Awesome band from Waipu, New Zealand. Thanks.
1597. TRIPxCORE: Woah!!!!!!! About time!!!!!!
1598. Wally Reeves: Demiurge pronounced (Dem-E-urge)
1599. Aaron Murray Henson: You guys gotta do another Pantera song! Just any Pantera song. They're all fire.
1600. Mike McManis: "This shit right here is THE SHIT!" -- Exactly
1601. mvunit3: People forget that many early and mid era Thrash bands, especially Death Metal, use the "Palm-muted" chugging riffage ;). Here is an example from "1989" - Powermad: 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_AtZnw7sjM 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02bq2fZHhzo Many other bands out there from the past were doing it all before the "Djent" scene \m/.
1602. Mehdy Cornwallis: Now we're talking !
1603. Faiyaz Chowdhury: I would love to see a series where they rereact to some of the popular extreme metal songs they heard in the past but didn't like. I wonder if they have a similar change in perspective to Opeth or other bands like they had for Meshuggah.
1604. Octacilio lino neto: Please
1605. Simen Hefte Endresen: Meshuggah-Soul Burn. Guys, please 🤘
1606. christophorus kris: they're like the top of music reaction section on youtube, the music critics like their arguments and reviews are valid
1607. Silky Johnson: Yeah. By no means a bad gojira song but he's right there are better ones.
1608. Marcus Gross: Yyeeeeeeeesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1609. Barbarus Bloodshed: I can see it in his eyes, George is becoming one of us.
1610. Leon Tranter: Amer532 it’s not catchy, it’s crap
1611. Tom Jr: Yes! Instant classic!
1612. hefftatious: check out ｍｉａｍｉ　ｎｉｇｈｔｓ　１９８４
1613. Calvin Costa: The Black Dahlia Murder: Abysmal - Asylum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQbQexSJKk epic stuff dudes, the lyrics are a bit hard to hear though. fsociety
1614. Tony Allain: Periphery - Stranger Things
1615. TheG3neralLee: Here’s one out of left field No one else will ask for this ‘ The Ocean - Silurian: Age of Sea Scorpions’ I have no doubt in my mind you will at least find this really interesting and hopefully like it. The biggest thing with prog metal thats hard to translate in a reaction video is it might not be until your 5th listen that you realise how good a song is sometimes even more because there is so much going on. Prog metal/rock is hand down my fave genre. You guys rule btw
1616. madeofwax92: We've done it, team. The boys are getting into heavy prog metal.
1617. stapler: Meshuggah writes almost totally in 4/4 (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4) aka Common Time, which is what rap and most rock are written in, so thats why it is easier for it to seem headnotic or w/e.
1618. Metal Trenches: This song rips so hard
1619. Rob Paul: Wolfheart - Zero Gravity You guys always give great, insightful and funny reactions. That's why we love you 🤘 I get what you're saying with universal appeal, but I don't think it exists. No music and no band will sound great to everyone. Best chances at wide appeal are found taking easy choices, like alot of poppy shit. I much prefer you're way of putting the challenge to the listener to hear the quality in various styles and performers. Free thinkers, open minds!
1620. GoaLaSSo15: Totally get what you are saying about the universal appeal, but you kinda have to understand the history of metal to understand why a lot of bands intentionally go against universal appeal. Even going back to the early days of metal with Black Sabbath, it was a form of art that was supposed to be disdained by the upper class and appeal to only a certain crowd of people. They didn't necessarily want everyone listening to their music. As metal grew, and especially with the start of more extreme metal, bands started adoping names like Dying Fetus and using disturbing imagery to intentionally push away the pop music crowd. They did not want to be "conformists" for the sake of popularity. Metal has long had an anti-establishment, anti-religion, counter culture background and by creating this harsh sounding music and imagery they were able to maintain that background. Some bands, like Metallica, used to stay true to metal roots, but eventually incorporated more elements of rock into their music to appeal to a broader audience. Most metal bands that are played on the radio or somewhat in pop culture have intentionally left this counter culture style of music and following to appeal to a broader audience either to evolve in their music style or make more money. In a way, metal has evolved similar to classical music and jazz. The modern iterations of each of those types of music focuses primarily on the evolution of their music as an art form, not in creating music that is easily digestible. You guys have only scratched the surface of metal so far, which is probably a good thing. Many extreme metal fans would actually say that Meshuggah are entry level metal, even though they are generally respected for being founders of a genre and being great musicians. There are some pretty weird genres and sub-cultures out there within the more extreme groups of metal that I wouldn't stray into just yet. Great website to understand some of the history of the genres - https://mapofmetal.com/
1621. yoco90: Demiourge means creator in Greek and here it's written as if one is calling the creator. The way you wrote is the best way to read in English,like two words even though it's one. Try this https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=el&tl=en&text=δημιουργέ (the voice is a bit cringey.)
1622. allenro1: George😐....youre over thinking it...just listen...fall into the groove...like a water wheel with a slightly bad bearing
1623. P H: The video to this song is worth watching to get an idea on how they jam. It's a concert video
1624. stapler: Def agree with other people tho, the discussion you had with Bleed was exactly what metalheads would actually think and feel about the music. Really glad you included that! The journey continues for y'all but you're coming around! :D
1625. Tyler Kiley: Listen to Demiurge and Do Not Look Down 20 more times until you can actually discern what’s happening in the music
1626. Ken Liesche: Meshuggah - I Am Colossus
1627. JN Woodard: Do Not Look Down has the groove you need.
1628. adriatikhyseni: Kyuss - One Inch Man Kyuss - Allens Wrench Kyuss - Green Machine Check out Kyuss, they're sexy
1629. Brookita's Adventures: Lmao @ 2:35!! Fuckin love you guys.
1630. VEXARI: Deftones - Back to School
1631. Mason Smith: Y'all have to react to Clockworks!
1632. The Disturbed One: Its pronounced Demi-Urge
1633. The Kiosk: Guys, I highly recommend you revisit animals as leaders. Try "physical education" or "private visions of the world".
1634. Loe307uh: Rational Gaze and NMCC are probably going to be way more up your alley. Ritual is great too.
1635. PABLO: Sepultura - Slave New World
1636. Anthony Corlin: I would love to see you guys do the kick off freestyle. Ryan is always great. George, I love you and any cynical shit that comes with. Would be great to watch your reactions to it
1637. david veen: Never could stand these kind of vocals !!
1638. Maneatingpie !: Shadows Fall - Dead and Gone
1639. Joseph Allen: Damn, that 'door-stopper' reference was hilarious!
1640. Kewsy 3278: Yes finally meshuggah!
1641. SingularityFGC: those pauses in the rhythm are like sledgehammer about to fall lol
1642. openmypackage: I don't like growling I will stick with Sabbath.
1643. D L: Morbid Angel - Maze of Torment Some OG black metal for you guys
1644. sheppfun: Nah!! The "Doorstopper" Analogy was spot ON My Dude George!!! So funny!!
1645. Deconstruct//Recreate: Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know my Name Seriously, enough with Gojira already. `How about an actually innovative and interesting band instead of the same boring riffs on loop? We get it, you like Gojira, they like them too, now move on to something else.
1646. Drew Legere: I think Death deserve a 2nd chance as well. Where's the patreon poll for Death?
1647. Frederik Jansen: Do Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
1648. lucifer lavey: can you remix the vocals out as long as those incredibly awful vox are present, SOP will remain unlistenable. (Damn, what was Chuck, rest his soul, thinking there!?!??!?!)
1649. Hello yes: Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
1650. Dr Shlots: Meshuggah is one of those bands that requires more the one listen, gets better overtime
1651. Makesh¡fT™: anointing of seer
1652. nick rivas-lopez: Refused new noise!!
1653. VEXARI: sick album! -1 (Negative one) would be my pick
1654. K Gubbas: Meshuggah is pure shit. Hate that dumbed down poser shit.
1655. Jacob Davis: Gojira- The Gift of Guilt
1656. Jeremy Ingram: I like Mudvayne as a band for you guys to check out if you haven’t already.
1657. Brenton Cunningham: You guys need to check out electric crown by Testament
1658. thegamemuster: Echo, feat. NAS!
1659. JpPainkiller: MESHUGGAH - CLOCKWORKS
1660. Bantz Rayder: I'd be interested to see them react to one of the first couple of songs off Masstaden
1661. larz peacock: Mechuggah
1662. Nukelover: That is the correct way, yeah.
1663. Joseph Taylor: Do Rational Gaze next time please!!
1664. Kyle3wynn: So you guys are pretty dead on with the guitars sounding detuned. Meshuggah was one of the first bands to use 7 and 8 string guitars (at least to my knowledge) and currently use 8 string guitars which go almost a full octave below traditional 6 string guitars (basically like having a bass guitar on the bottom).
1665. eismar5: dammit guys, now some poor fool will make a demiurge cover: doorstopper remix ...
1666. Rushikesh Shinde: I did not expected sucha thoughtful commentary! 💚 really great video!
1667. Blu-Ray Connoisseur: Could you please please please revisit Pantera???!!!
1668. CB Poppet: Sorry but Ryan is entirely wrong about artists needing to have a universal appeal. Art is expression and it's a contract between artist and audience, where the artist tries to communicate something through their music and the audience interprets what they hear and draws their own conclusion. Any commercial concerns should have no place what so ever in this cultural symbiosis. Express and be damned, live or die, be honest. Metallica didn't have universal appeal when they first immerged. Kill 'em All broke new ground and the honesty of that creative expression got them noticed and changed the culture around them. This only happens when artists (who feel the need to express themselves on the edge, or outside of established culture) are completely honest and give no quarter to the commercial consequences.
1669. Justus Bacon: i mostly like experimental music. not just metal and meshuggah makes me try out listening to more metal. so meshuggah is not just for metalheads. i saw a rig rundown of the madonna tour guitarist and he mentioned meshuggah as a influence and i heard that from alot more people. people who mostly listen to poppy music wont find many things to hold on to but people that like any kind of complexity in music should be able to appreciate them
1670. Meyzen76: Just seems very repetitive for my taste. Thought your reaction was spot on. I'm impressed with the drumming (especially Bleed), but everything else is kinda bland in the song construction, from what I've heard so far.
1671. Cringelord Divine: Lamb Of God - Desolation
1672. Burnt Chrysler: psycroptic - echoes to come some killer riffs and grooves.
1673. Cyan Light: You should really check out some of Meshuggah's earlier material, they're still churning out amazing albums but Jens (the vocalist) seemed to lock into the groove better on many of their older tracks than he does now. New Millennium Cyanide Christ would be a great example, just about every word in that song adds to the groove rather than taking away from it.
1674. Dayne Johnson: Alot of Metal fans pride themselves on listening to songs that others wouldn't want to listen to, either to harsh or offensive
1675. Utkarsh Kumar: Monuments - Hollow King
1676. Nolan Beasinger: lucifer lavey gtfo here
1677. Cancer Söze: The Melvins - A history of bad men
1678. Monty Koch: Omg. The door stop comment! Lmao! I'm dying. 😂
1679. Tatu Kolehmainen: i think they liked sepultura also
1680. Dire Despot: Faith No More - Jizzlober please guys!!
1681. Kyle Ledermann: Meshugah are masters of building tension and then releasing it with driving force. Sometimes they build tension for a few minutes though lol
1682. sahbian: Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats- Melody Lane
1683. IanW820: Monuments - Horcrux. Pinky promise those grooves are for you guys.
1684. Akshit Jha: I call bs to the "universal appeal" thing. Just my opinion.
1685. Eddie Cardwell: Power Trip - Executioner’s Tax (you’ll love it)
1686. M Jinete: The Contortionist- Intuition!
1687. Grunge Tone: Slipknot-eyeless or all out life Stonesour-road hogs or orchids
1688. Dirk Diggler: Well done djentlemen.
1689. Jay Carmona: Do not disturb or uncomfortable by Halestorm
1690. Codie Wann: Meshuggah- break those bones whose sinews gave it motion
1691. C F: Correct!
1692. Yoviro Soon: Not the song I wanted, but the song they needed
1693. Nathan M: I see meshuggah i hit like
1694. Alex Kulp: Look at them coming around to Bleed. Allllriiiight faaaaam
1695. Matthew Snart: Metallica. ORION now.
1696. LifeSucks_LetsSkate: The evolution is in action lol......your ears are starting to hear it :)
1697. momentumspace: Night Flight Orchestra - Midnight Flyer
1698. Bre n: I remember the first time I ever heard Meshuggah the first thing I thought was "oh hot damn, these bois be hard af", but after listening to metal for a while I did start to enjoy them after a few months. I think it was a very good decision for you guys to give it a few months before reacting to them again. Also I'd like to complement you guys on how amazing you guys are at really listening to the music. You sometimes bring things up about songs that I've never even noticed before. Hell, at the very beginning of the video you two basically started reciting the intro to the song when I couldn't even remember how it went.
1699. Jason Ogden: Pusifer “Country Boner”
1700. MaddDogg316: This is the turning point and the reason why people say things like "you need to learn to like it" or "you need to get used to it." We welcome you with open arms. 😁 Please react to Femina X - Frida's Heart. Thanks.
1701. Sockfoot: Ummm.... what?
1702. Savador P: I disagree with music needing to appeal to everyone. If everyone sounded the same or provided the same feel, you would never have creativity. I think Meshuggah has amazing riffs but I am not a die hard fan. I completely respect that they don't care about appealing to everyone. I hate how the music industry tries to make all bands sound the same or fit a "formula" to appeal to mainstream for $$$$ sales. Music is art, and just like a painting they should bring something new and exciting to the canvas to invoke thought and imagination. Much love guys!!
1703. Jeremy Cheney: Ah....yes, just like a door stopper......
1704. Sergio Saez: Please do Alkaloid - Kernel Panic!
1705. NonEntity: Dancers to a Discordant System - Meshuggah.
1706. TheVlads Frontman: Tool-Vicarious!!!
1707. Gabriel Levi: Why not react to Knower - Overtime (live sesh)?? If they like groove, I think they will enjoy it
1708. Scott Carter: Do Gimmie Chocolate by Baby Metal. That is weird shit LOL
1709. Adam Sandoval: Storm son is so good
1710. Akinohotarubi: Nice vid, too bad you went for the short version of Bleed and Demiurge you missed on the off the wall guitars solo Thordendal can come up with. It's just something you'll discover next time I guess. Not to diss the choice, Demiurge is great and possibly a lot less abstract to grasp than some of their other songs. And now for the obligatory random request: do "On a Tuesday" by Pain of Salvation. Or anything by Pain of Salvation, really, great music and some great lyrics too.
1711. handicapitation: Really wish New Millennium Cyanide Christ got voted through. I've probably requested that shit 100+ times on the various reaction channels. Never seen anyone do it though.
1712. Waref Abu Quba: You guys should definitely see them live, it's a life altering experience! Bill Burr on seeing Meshuggah live: https://youtu.be/TYdr_p6DgmM
1713. Tim Reid: with Metal in particular, I've often found that my favorite songs are ones I don't necessarily like on first listen because they are doing something different/unique and it takes my brain a few listens to make sense of it and latch on to the groove. Meshuggah are definitely one of those bands
1714. Tex Mex: Finally!! someone else gets it!
1715. Ian: The Dali Thundering Concept - The Myth of Happiness. Do it!
1716. Todd Crawford: Due to your criticism of the song construction, I would challenge you to listen to Afro-Cuban music, candomble, or West African ritual music. Yes, you are speaking in terms of modern "commercial" music, but some people DO NOT want verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, interlude, chorus, verse chorus, chorus, etc. Some of extreme metal focuses on getting away from modern pop/rock song constructions.
1717. sevenlikethenumber: You goys should revisit some older songs. Your understanding of metal has evolved soo much. I can really see that watching this reaction compared to bleed 6 months ago KEEP IT UP!!
1718. Kevin Collado: Corridor of Chameleons should have been the choice. As new comers to Meshuggah that would have set better with you guys to understand the gods of math metal. When we gonna get a second chance with Twelve Foot Ninja? Please do a video reaction to "Coming for You" Totally entertaining. Much love gents.
1719. Relic: How far down the rabbit hole do you guys want to go? Black tongue Infant annihilator The red chord All bands that live in the groove
1720. Bernard Sierakowski: Dudes listen to Satyricon- Black Crow on a Tombstone. peace 🤘
1721. mvunit3: The same old rhythms, melodies and Rock tropes got REALLY old listening to the radio since 1965 to 1998 :p. Finding bands, vocalists, musicians that hardly got radioplay or none at all, was not only waking up the senses, it was "Fun" to discover awesome artists with blind purchases, reading trade mags, or sharing on social media groups or YOUtube finds :).
1722. Schlenderman 8492: I swear I'm waiting patiently for the day when these two are reading our recommendations and are eagerly awaiting for the filthiest shit we can give them. I can only imagine their reactions to anything by Autopsy
1723. Steve B: You guys need to do something with your lighting. The reflection off of the glasses is impossible to not focus on. The light needs to not be behind the camera. I am sure you can find tips on youtube to help
1724. Nice Dreams: Hey guys, thanks for the really thought provoking video. I wanted to throw out some info that might be relevant to your comments regarding artists and universal appeal. It's important to note the history of metal and how it has always been referred (self-referentially included) as an ugly beast. Some bands, especially the more extreme metal bands are/were reacting against 'universal appeal'. It's meant to rebel against the very notion of universal appeal in order to explore individualism. In much of metal, it's hard to listen to on many levels on purpose, specifically to avoid being related to mass pop-culture. There's a line in the Doors movie that is relevant, in the film class scene one of the students yells "you need your art spoon fed to you". Some metal isn't interested in spoon feeding it's audience, it wants the audience to work for the payoff, to suffer for the payoff, to bleed for the payoff. And many fans don't want to be spoon fed, they want to suffer and bleed for it also. “There is one aspect to our experience of suffering that is of vital importance. When you are aware of your pain and suffering, it helps you to develop your capacity for empathy, the capacity that allows you to relate to other people’s feelings and suffering. This enhances your capacity for compassion towards others. So as an aid in helping us connect with others, it can be seen as having value.” ~ Dalai Lama One way artists who have explored these more extreme, unlistenable to most, forms of music is to work on a variety of projects over the span of a career. So an artist would be focusing on one aspect, say rebellion against mass appeal, when releasing music as band "A". They would also have band "B" etc.. in which they would explore other things which would conflict with the intentions of band "A" but they still want to explore as artists. So they name the band differently and create a universe where that band can explore the themes that are relevant to it. This extends beyond just bands to where you have extreme genre-fication like it occurs in metal, where genres represent all these different things. This started from the root of individualism where each band tried to be unique and true to themselves, and extended outwards and grew into the confusing messy beast we see today and know as 'metal'. There are in metal a lot of people who don't bother with universal appeal at all at any point in their careers and that is an artistic choice. If you value extreme individualism then universal appeal is in direct conflict with that, at least superficially and often times far deeper as well. Some forms of metal have had a lot of commercial success, and it is easy to conflate those acts with artists in extreme subgenres because they are all 'metal'. This is where a lot of the elitism comes from where it winds up that fans from one camp denigrate fans of another camp, that's often due to conflicting values of the message/aesthetic of the bands rather than more superficial points. It's one group attempting to disassociate from the message/aesthetic of something which they do not support or which conflicts with what they are all about. Of course, it's not always high-minded debate, and there are plenty of people who are just assholes, but there is more going on under the surface as well over all. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season and hanging in there!
1725. BornDead616: Fear Factory - Pisschrist!
1726. Hush4Me 1: Can someone on patrion suggest ‘Every time I die’
1727. Lisa Johnson: Ryan keeps trying to like this genre but it’s ok not to like something. It might not be his cup of tea and that’s ok!!!
1728. TheColleenwolverine: Lyric embarassment..for 2 yrs both myself and siggie thought the title was 'don't tell me what to do' oh well in another song....there's a chicken in the kitchen...and something evil lurking....and waiting for me in the dark...
1729. Kristoffer Lodesjö: Like a devine entity bending the laws of time and space Meshuggah kind of bend the laws of rythm and how you compose a song. I've had the pleasure of seeing them twice and they are a level on their own. I've seen almost every metal band you can think of but the way Meshuggah music is makes it a different thing. Considering that i can understand how anybody new to not only the Metal genre let alone Meshuggah feels a little bit lost listening to it.
1730. Feña Fernández: Now react to New Millennium Cyanide Christ. You'll love it.
1731. kenny240: One thing I love about your channel is that you’re honest about how you feel, and not afraid to hear something you don’t like. Your taste keeps evolving, as it should, and it’s always good to see. Keep up the good work, and hopefully one day I’ll see you guys react to some old school Mudvayne. Something like “Internal Primates Forever”, it’s heavy, but there’s a lot of elements to it that I think you guys will appreciate.
1732. Chris Clymer: The Mars Volta- Viscera Eyes, or Cygnus Vismund Cygnus
1733. aAnnoying Prince: Clockworks by Meshuggah
1734. TheResidualEffect: Voice of Trespass by Between the Buried and Me
1735. sirspikey: Meshuggah is the metal shit!!!!
1736. nolan marshall: BAD CHILD - PAYBACK!!!! PLSSSS
1737. theicedevil: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Official Live video. You need some female frontend epic Metal.
1738. Victória Heloise: React to Gojira again!!! L' Enfant Savage, The Gift Of Guilt, The Shooting Star, Vacuity. I just rewatching the old videos beause THERE ISN'T MOREEEE. And I have a huge expectation because you liked my commentaries about Gojira's songs a while ago! hahahha
1739. Sassy the Sasquatch: You should re-listen to Opeth - Ghost of Perdition. One of the best songs ever made and you'd not be hampered by the harsh vocals. The vocals actually fit perfectly with every bit of the song, both heavy and melodic.
1740. Gavin Pollock: Slaves- I’d rather see your stars explode And if you haven’t heard this song you should check it out atleast.
1741. Warlock97: Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom or Gojira - Space Time
1742. Rick Henderson: The guitars aren't necessarily detuned; they use 8-string guitars, which go nearly an octave lower than a traditional 6-string guitar. Really cool you revisited Bleed, it really shows off how much you guys have "evolved" in your metal journey so that now it doesn't put you off so violently. I think the discussion about appealing to a niche group VS being universal in an old one in the arts. Frankly, I think the world needs both types. Take The Beatles. There may not be a more "universal" band in history, but because they're almost like "the world's" band, they could never feel like they're "my" band. I mean, I adore The Beatles, but a band like Meshuggah is the kind of band that could be "my band" because they have such a unique sound/aesthetic that nobody else has (certainly nobody had it before them).
1743. TB 7788: yea there’s not a single song i dislike in all their 27 songs. favorite band. lights out is my favorite. was the first i heard. me and my friend jam on their stuff all the time
1744. CodyEntities: Do Not Look Down IMO is their most groovy song! I know you guys would jam to that slammer!!!
1745. Gareth: Listen to 'Combustion' or 'War' by Meshuggah.
1746. James Crider: Actually wtf am i thinking. Must is either 'Entroper' or 'Vertebrea'. Thos tracks are outsranding. Ethica is way too long winded and repetitive.
1747. Noah Waters: Let me recommend some Djent that is easier on the ears, After the burial- neo Seoul
1748. brett leasure: of matter (in the studio) is the easy choice. but, i'm gonna go with nascent simply because it doesn't get enough love. also would like to see eden, album version.
1749. Luis Valenzuela Porcile: Meshuggah - I
1750. Brayden Ross: I really don’t like this screamo
1751. Matt Shaw: I get roasted every time I request it, but I'd love white walls as well. Preferably the live colors dvd version! 👍
1752. Eimaj XC: I love this song.. but from a hip hop head, the odd signatures mix with the overall chaotic sound might be a turn off. They're opening up to more sounds of metal, so who knows.
1753. Matt Scott: by FAR the best band ive ever seen in concert
1754. Ago Lmr: Please react to some Jimi Hendrix. Might wanna start with All Along the Watchtower.
1755. Andrew Eastick: React to Ne Obliviscaris "Devour me Colossus" or Opeth "The Moor". Both are incredible
1756. Mikus Palmis: Ryan hit the nail on the head when he said Bleed was the heartbeat of metal. I agree with that, as far as modern metal goes. It's like Pantera on steroids. I recommend BAD WOLVES "LEARN TO LIVE" and ONCE HUMAN "GRAVITY".
1757. pizzasmithdude: The detuned sound would be courtesy of 8 string guitars 🤘
1758. Jose Aguilar: Meshuggah has multiple songs that are accessible to any metal listener. Rational Gaze is one of them. You need to give that song a listen. The groove kicks mucho ass! Bleed was actually the first song that I heard of theirs. I caught their video on MTV and it piqued my interest. Songs that I found hard to listen to at first blush are now some of my favorites. You gain an appreciation for their sound the more you listen to it. So please give Rational Gaze a chance on your show. I think you all will love it.
1759. John Medved: Also, the live version of "War" from Devin's Retinal Circus is amazing.
1760. Matt Petty: You only live once- Suicide Silence!!!!
1761. Austin Nichols: Power Trip - swing of the axe ( the executioners tax)
1762. Jaime Abellar: If groove is what ya'll are after Do Not Look Down is simple, heavy and groovy as hell.
1763. Tony M: If folks want them to actually like LoG, stop requesting your favorite song and give them a song they will enjoy. Walk with me in hell, in your words, ghost walking. Hooks, groove, transitions
1764. Jakob Syvén: You should really invest in proper speakers!
1765. John Gregorio: Need some Between the Buried and Me
1766. Tic Toc Bang: See Meshuggah in concert and it all comes together. The music, the crowd, the rhythms, the light show. Meshuggah isn't heard, they are experienced.
1767. Hauntr: Basically industrial metal lol
1768. wvusmc: Havenless or Lightening would be my picks but any Enslaved would be awesome.
1769. Will Savard: Despise by Spite.
1770. Jack Flynn-Oakley: Pravus
1771. savvas 13 Rh: Rivers of Nihil "The Silent Life"
1772. Cultof Ian: troops of doom by sepultura
1773. Aaron Bad Bear: Those 8 string guitars sound so killer.
1774. Eli Arnold: To address the quote at 10:23 for a second, Meshuggah is an acquired taste. They don't make music for casual metal listeners or newbies. They never have. They've been making and playing music as a band for 32 years now, and none of their material is designed for new metal fans a huge majority of their fans are people who have been in the scene for years, even decades. If you're coming into the metal scene from literally any other genre and you're expecting to immediately like the first band you hear, and that band happens to be Meshuggah, you're gonna have a bad time.
1775. ItsYeMoistness God: React to dax
1776. s0rd3z: The Sword - Apocryphon
1777. NoirTech: dont be a dick
1778. Carson Grubaugh: Meshuggah is sublime, like getting steamrolled by a planet sized spaceship powered by a black hole. Such a pure distillation of a sound. Zeal an Ardor - Row Row!
1779. Matt Petty: Doublespeak all the way!
1780. Shawn Mitchell: You'd have to listen to old Meshuggah to new Meshuggah to see how they've evolved their sound.
1781. Richard Bexborn: I know what you guys mean... Meshuggah is an acquired taste. I just never got it myself. I am like, "PLEASE, just a moment of melody!" They could really be so much bigger and better if they found a balance somewhere. As it is, Meshuggah is headache in action.
1782. Paulo Aloisio: anyway: COM - F*CKING - BUS - TION
1783. Pit Viper: Can I please get Testament - Return To Serenity. Its a lot slower and melodic plus Alex Skolnick plays a fantastic solo in it.
1784. Matt Dillabough: Alexisonfire - waterwings. Do itttt
1785. Anthony Rieman: So satifying to see ya'll discover this track. I'm a diehard fan of meshuggah. The first time i saw them live was literally the best live show i've ever been too. A live show with these guys will turn any venue upside down, its like being in an ocean of savages, some modern day tribal slam dancing. Best song live is Dancers to a discorded system. Thanks for the entertainment gentlemen, lets see another one soon!!
1786. MetalxXxMayhem: Dancers to a Dischordant System.
1787. Big Murph: +Joe Peterson ^ ^ ^
1788. Exit: mac miller: diablo!!!!
1789. Stefan Jr: YEEES!!! Meshuggah. :) Nice with the recheck on Bleed also! "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" has the most incredible groove possible. Please consider this specific one for future reactions. You'll get why, for sure, when you hear it.
1790. Jared Grey: Haha, I'm a huge metal head and the doorstopper comment was gold :D
1791. Daryl Hicks: Not 2 shabby. If y'all ever give black metal another try behemoth:driven by the 5 winged star
1792. Bryan Behrent: Guys give Iced Earth Black Flag a listen or watch the video.
1793. GamerOfTag: Have you guys listened to Killswitch Engage yet? Howard Jones was my favorite vocalist for the longest time when I was growing up in the genre, the man was born to sing.
1794. NIGHTY EXPLOSIVE: Alarm clock metal, like jamey jasta said in an interview 😂
1795. Någon Hemlig: Last summer I was headbanging to Meshuggah at Sweden Rock. But man o man did I miss the Taylor Swift fans in the audience.
1796. handicapitation: +Animal Will Opus Thanks. Never knew they did that!
1797. Angus: Insomnium - While We Sleep
1798. CapraN.1: REACT TO NEW WORLD TORTURE BY WHILE SHE SLEEPS
1799. raider101416: Machine Head Davidian
1800. GWAILIN: Home of the real free-thinkers and door-stoppers...keepin' it real. Great breakdown, great analysis, top-shelf as always gents. Much respect. Check out Soulfly - Prejudice. 'All we are sayin, is Give Max a(nother) chance' :)
1801. Chris Wooldridge: I can't say how much I would love to see y'all react to some more Pantera... Something like Shedding Skin or The Great Southern Trendkill.
1802. KyuzouTV: for the love of god, rational gaze or straws pulled at random to actually get an understanding how insane meshuggah are... also for like a year straight please do iced earth - dracula
1803. Elegant Elephant: Meshuggah is a band appeals obviously metalheads but also for musicians (that are open minded and likes technical stuff), thats where you get the universal appeal from.
1804. SicklessHell: React to #CodeOrange - #Forever
1805. fmlAllthetime: Fundamentally best review you guys have on the rock/metal side because it's honest, intelligent, respectful and just thoroughly true in a lot of ways. Appreciate that y'all were able to see the deeper layers into such heavy music, sincerely. Wish more people were willing to experience something they haven't before. Would be a better world. Take care, thanks.
1806. Alex Ottomano: +Arthur Daffos if they do earlier stuff it has to be DELIVERANCE
1807. VietnamD0820: A7X ANIMALS Sweet leaf...that would be sweet
1808. Metaljunkie: Gents (or so I say djents) you both have come a long way with your acceptance of metal. Meshuggah is a fantastic band and hit on a formula that works for them early in their career. Truth be told, I’m pretty sure they don’t care whether you like it or not. They’re making the music they like. Anyway, let’s see more extreme metal reviews! Thanks to you both and Happy Holidays!
1809. Not Nate: Check out "Stengah" from Meshuggah. WAAAAY more accessible and super groove oriented. Lyrically good as well.
1810. Imran Akhtar: Anything from Architects new album Holy Hell but I think you would love Royal Beggars, Modern Misery or Doomsday
1811. thecrazynoemad: BPhillipsDrummer also a good point. Ppl don’t realize how important scale is. I’ve had friends that listen to their songs, and knowing that they use 8 string guitars, the main thing they always point out or notice, is how clear and how punchy they still sound. So that is probably the reason why. It can be very muddy typically. But hey... that’s what years of practice and experimentation does
1812. Phobos Moon: SMASHED that like
1813. D. Ryan: PRONG- SnaP YouR FingerS, SnaP YouR NecK
1814. Naruto735: I still think y'all should have checked out Future Breed Machine before this first but hey man...hopefully y'all check that out at some point. Would be much more up your alley.
1815. Everett Dudley: Obfuscation
1816. GrizzleyBear: You guys are awesome but skip through songs toooo much. Sorry. I'm unsubscribing. But keep doing what you're doing. You have a great fan base.
1817. Sir Cosumar: Rational Gaze would've been a good one for y'all. I'm not a huge Meshuggah fan, but I do love that song's groove.
1818. Cody Gardner: Slayer - Playing with Dolls
1819. Shane Bond: Milk Lizard isn't a hard swallow. Good starter song. Dillinger is an extremely varied act. Or was at least
1820. Alex Naranjo: please review either lamb of god 512 or born of Osiris Recreate ..... just listen you fools ok
1821. Andy Ruiz: Plz react to some stoner metal. How dark we pray by 🔥High on Fire 🔥
1822. RamRodTheAvenger: My dudes, I love your channel and how you always keep it real. May I suggest Orbit Culture - Redfog. Imagine that Gojira and Metallica made sweet love, the resulting bastard child would be Orbit Culture. They rule.
1823. A Dream: -Nostrum -Born in Dissonance -Clockworks are good too, from their latest album. It took me about a decade of traversing through the metal/metalcore/djent verses before I found and took a liking to Meshuggah. They are certainly jarring at first. It's an acquired taste, just like aged whiskey.
1824. TOAOM123: +ChipmunkAsylum right on ill check it out 👍 im all for super heavy like flesh god apocalypse, dying fetus; etc With the few songs I have heard from meshuggah, i just felt the songs lacked very little direction or build Which is perfectly fine; i understand some folks are more "groove" rockers and enjoy just sitting in a consistent rhythm they could tap to I just require "movement" for me to enjoy a song, if that makes sense
1825. SephL: 1 of my favorite songs of Meshuggah..I hope you guys wil make a reaction video of Slipknot - The Nameless
1826. Gabriel Carpenter: They do have that pure heaviness which they did create also they play 8 string guitars definitely one of those bands you have to be in the mood for... But they are grear at what they do... Cheers
1827. HateJethro: After the burial- a wolf amongst ravens The groove at the end is godlike.
1828. RevahsMada: More Gojira please
1829. B B: Seriously they have wayyyy better songs than this!
1830. CallMeMegalo: demi-urge boys :)
1831. Hello yes: Meshuggah actually plays on 8 string guitars for the most part.
1832. The Rockpit: It takes time to get into more progressive heavier music. Even the most hardcore fans started with the basics before discovering deeper cuts
1833. Bill Vrabel: Meshuggah never did it for me. Maybe it's not melodic enough or just compelling like thrash or death metal, but for me they are just redundant and boring.
1834. James Myhrberg: Since they have done a reaction from (almost) every album with Go(D)jira! I think its about time for a ALBUM REACTION with l'enfant sauvage as special guest🙌🔥🙌 THANX FOR A GREAT CHANNEL!!
1835. Djobo Kuwali: The place where black guys validate white people’s music for them. “Two thumbs up!”
1836. Animal Will Opus: https://youtu.be/pOz8XuVf8PM
1837. bigyodatheman: DYING FETUS
1838. Evan Gipson: this video made me smile so much! hearing you guys muse after "Bleed" was awesome. you guys are srs metal fans now. awesome to see the transition.
1839. Giannis Musicman: React to anything from HAKEN or Twelve Foot Ninja!
1840. CuckleCunt Fuckin'SuckaSack: i'm proud to be born and raised a metalhead and coming from a metal elitist; it's been so much fun watching you guys striving toward becoming metal adept. ya'll level up a few more times and you might start hearing what i'm hearing. meshuggah is less of a band and more of an internal combustion engine.
1841. Sebastian Araya: React to Spooky Black - Without You (music video)!! Y'all sleeping on the underground RNB!
1842. Gerard Krakowski: I get your point about appeal outside of your genre, but Meshuggah definitely has that. Like I've met a lot of drummers who aren't metalheads who love Meshuggah, for example. Also there's a ridiculous groove in Bleed toward the back half of the song!
1843. Alex Macdougall: Damn this is the best video yet. Backtracking and analysis and re-evaluating. This is the one of the coolest parts about music. The growth and evolution of tastes and enjoyment. Cool to see you guys enjoying new things. Killer stuff!
1844. kyle turpin: Love your Reactions! You guys need to go to Chicago Open Air in 2019. Several Bands that you two have covered and enjoy will be playing such as: Tool, System of a Down, Gojira & Mesuggah. Keep up the good work!
1845. Carl-Éric Dupuis: Meshuggah - Clockworks.
1846. Do It For The Groove: YOB - The Screen One of the most sinister, evil songs I've ever heard.
1847. Dustin Clark: The first minute of a meshuggah song is usually like the sickest shit ever, then I realize that that one idea is as far as the song is gonna go. I get bored with it.
1848. Caleb Bliss: Do Phobophile by Cryptopsy
1849. Tau Noctua: Demi Urge. The half maker whom I call Yaldabaoth, Saklas and Sammael. Also Yahweh, Irlik, Saturn and Satan.
1850. David Wallin: screaming "this shit right here is the shit" when bleed comes on, that describes me petty well:D
1851. A7X ANIMALS: Black Sabbath - nib or sweet leaf
1852. radiantnoir: Rebecca Black-Friday!
1853. Anthony McClure: Rational Gaze has some deep lyrics. Y’all would love that one.
1854. Bhavnish Buck: Those guys wanted to get so heavy on their guitar sound that at some point they thought of recording with 3 basses on distortion.
1855. Elliott Petrella: Also idk if you have already but check out Ex Military by DeathGrips.
1856. David McC: Oh really? That's how we would sound?
1857. brent paisley: Yous have to react to meshuggah corridor of chameleons
1858. Robbie Hoen: The doorstopper comparison: Absolutely spot-on!
1859. Drum Guy: The drumming in bleed is no fuckin joke. Tomas Haake is a beast on the drums.
1860. Jack Daniels: This band strikes my core and actually relaxes me if you can believe it. Maybe not all their stuff, but I think his rage is a release for the listener that cannot scream like that. I don't know the lyrics and I don't care really, its an instrument.
1861. Bark Lord of the Sith: Circle of the Tyrants would be great but preferably the remake of it by either Opeth or Obituary.
1862. Clark Davis: Polyphia did have what I believe was their first song with vocals on NLND.
1863. James Dean: Meshuggah don't need to try to appeal to people outside their genre as they have enough fan base world wide. In flames are a good example who changed their style to fit into a sound with different taste and they ended up losing all their original fan base and gained new fans instead and are probably only just as popular if not less.
1864. P K: Bad choice, their earlier work is so much better
1865. Stuart Gibson: I would love to see them do Home invasion/regret no 9 personally
1866. Neal Crabtree: Gary Numan - My Name is Ruin plz and ty =)
1867. gwalia2112: They say neutrinos harmlessly fly through the universe but you get one pass through you and you'll be inspired to greatness. Queen must have been blasted by the bastards because this live performance from them is a masterclass. Anybody with any interest in music must watch this then get down on their knees and thank The Gods for random neutrinos. Do not get too fixated on Freddy and his awesomeness, the other 3 are on fire here too, so damned tight. And Queen are not even my favourite band. :) Somebody To Love, live in Montreal 1981. Broaden your minds guys. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA2IRoPFIn0
1868. Dan Day: I agree. They said Metallica is respected in the metal community and they are, but not for the songs that is universally popular.
1869. MalfaiteurCraven: I think the more you listen to metal the more you will realize that accessibility checkbox would only work for band that have that sort of goal in mind. Autopsy for example has a very blood splattered B horror movie that you can't get from the perfect production or vocals of something more mainstream. Besides, the more challenging bands are like rewards for those who have graduated to the next stage of their metal journey. I'll never forget the day I learned Cannibal Corpse. It's a very triumphant feeling to learned to love something you just couldn't wrap your head around before.
1870. Quint Summers: Alien Weaponry guys!!!
1871. silver black: Exodus .....Funeral Hymn
1872. Tam Renwick: they should defo check out Dancers, without doubt one of the best tracks they have released to date
1873. Allispie: Fable, Memento, or The Waterfront by Intervals
1874. Matthew Stayancho: Live version...
1875. Awesomesaurus: Forced Gender Reassignment by Cattle Decapitation! I think you guys are ready haha, video is crazy too!!
1876. Jerimiah Little: Guys... Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge/Archspire - A Dark Horizontal
1877. yVoNNe Kansas City: Guys,,, I hate to say it.. but they don't call Meshuggah: *math rock* for no reason... watch a few meshuggah dance videos and you'll get it: https://youtu.be/a7ihprTo8qw
1878. Christopher Mundahl: Check out OD by Polyphia and Pagen II by Vitalism
1879. Santiago José Fernández: Guys, go see them live. If you have the opportunity go see them live. You will be blown away by the mechanic performance of this "human beings".
1880. allenro1: I know exactly where yall goin with this. "Tooda Bank!!!!" "Do not look down" on your way.
1881. B N Braughton: death- spirit crusher
1882. Tony Allain: Humanity's Last Breath - Abyssal Mouth
1883. Fred: +Dan Day Metallica haven't been respected in the metal community for a long time, largely because of their bids for wider appeal.
1884. Jailbreak Tonighnovich: Lost in Sweden
1885. Matte Kross: They play 8string sow a regular guitar has 6 strings and a 8string has 2 lower string sow a 8string goes towards a bass register with a a low b string plus a low F# and meshuggah down tune their guitar ahalf step e en lower
1886. Deceiver493: Away - Plini That's some groovy shit.
1887. Jeff D.: Symphony X - kiss of fire
1888. ProgHead: I don't think mass appeal is the goal for many metal bands. Counter culture is kinda the point of metal isn't it? It's supposed to music by fringe artists for people who don't feel as connected to popular culture.
1889. Matthew Byrd: Furthermore, no matter how great I think Meshuggah is, I wouldn’t expect non-metalheads to get into them.
1890. Yuri: You guys should check out their earlier album Destroy, Erase, Improve. It’s a lot more accessible but the sound is still pure Meshuggah. Over time they’ve gotten crazy experimental with weird time signatures and the whole djent thing.
1891. Alfred Karlsson 9C Tegnérskolan: Wintersun- Sons of Winter and Stars (Time I Live Reahersals at Sonic Pump Studios)
1892. J-Red 1086: If you ever get around to them, 'Job for a Cowboy' Ruination album is where I'd start just as an intro to them. 'Regurgitated Disinformation' is a great place to start 'Ruination' is also a great entry lvl song. Used to be a time I thought the vocals were being held back by the band but now I hear it for what I should've heard it for long ago. Just like Meshuggah it really took me some time but now being older I've falling head first into their doom sound quite hard.
1893. Anthony Benavente: Enslaved - Storm Son
1894. Just A Guy: The longer drawn out parts are meant to build atmosphere.
1895. Ryan Buckingham: George n Ryan! It's so damn cool to see ya'll getting more and more acclimatized to metal, so it's less about the shock factor of the genre, and more about what you guys actually dig about the songs. Cheers for always keepin it real. In the spirit of second chances, I recommend peeping new(er) Ne Obliviscaris. Intra Venus or Libera are great songs off their latest album. Got my fingers crossed boys!
1896. Charles Lime: If no one else said anything, it should be pronounced demi-urge. It comes from Greek, and the “I” and “U” are pronounced separately. Although in Greek it is spelled almost completely differently. The English spelling derives from a Latin variant of the word. But in the Latin as well, the vowels are pronounced separately, no diphthongs. Δημιουργος, or demiurgus= demiurge.
1897. keeto787: Cattle Decapitation- Manufactured Extinct
1898. Hayden Dineen: I'd say the father's of djent are meshuggah and Sikth. If anyone hasn't give sikth a listen I would highly recommend them, they're and incredibly unique band that never gained the traction they needed when they first started where as meshuggah gained the traction they needed and deserved. But as I'm sure most djent and progressive metal listeners know they where a driving force for the bands that then followed up the djent scene. In short give Sikth a try
1899. Preston Garvey: Check out In Hell I'll Be In Good Company by Death South it's a strangely hypnotic song with old western vibes to it I don't even listen to that type of music but I loved it!
1900. Tagovai Roppolo: Slipknot - Eyeless
1901. japapapapaa: I think you guys would love New Millenium Cyanide Christ - not only is it musically heavy af but the lyrics take it to another level of heavyness. Great seeing you two turning into metalheads!
1902. Brent Elliott: I see a bit of Between the Buried and Me in the comments. I think you guys would like their song 'Swim to the Moon'. Love seeing you guys be so open minded to metal and (for the most part) enjoy yourselves.
1903. Wyckyd Lester: I think Future Breed Machine will be your favorite Meshuggah track. Lots of transitions and a pretty groovy clean section. Ya'll should definitly check that one out.
1904. Camilo Lopera: Angra - Morning star
1905. STATiS MUSIC: rational gaze, future breed machine, do not look down, new millenial cyanide christ are all INCREDIBLE
1906. Cultof Ian: Gorguts- cold and stiff
1907. ecchance: David Mathes Agree!
1908. Jim M: I'd love to see what they'd have to say about that performance. Although, I gotta say, some of the songs Hevy Devy performs on the Retinal Circus are just as amazing, if not better, as I think is the case with the live version of "Hyperdrive" with Anneke from the RC.
1909. Jay Def: I’m so proud of you guys lol, I watch a lot of these and your excitement reignites mine in these older songs. I found my self laughing with you and covered in goosebumps at other parts, keep it up, you’re on the cusp of the reason for the movement
1910. Ángel Signes González: Please Gamma Ray "beyond the black hole"
1911. Ratcliff: You need to be angry at your christian parents to understand,
1912. MorbisDraconis: Hatesphere- The Great Bludgeoning
1913. TemporaTV: YES! Behemoth is godly!
1914. Jon Santiago: LMFAO doorstopper. Hahahahaha that's pretty funny!
1915. i eat major ass: Can we have some tool pleasw
1916. lady marmaduke: the obituary cover is great, but it doesn't outdo the original. that said, my first choice would probably be os abysmi vel daath.
1917. Luke R.: I really want this, someone on patreon please!
1918. Brett Anderson: Meshuggah is all about the groove man. It's hypnotic and brilliant.
1919. Mr Schneebly: Please listen to "Selkies: The Endless Obsession" by Between the Buried and Me, or something by them! So much prog on the channel yet no BTBAM!
1920. Behim Veladzic: You should do Vacuity by Gojira. George will shit himself from happiness :D
1921. Mark Rosa: Pleeeeeeeeease react to Dream Theater - The Glass Prison. It's a BANGER!!! Guaranteed to make it into your playlists or the metal Gods can strike me dead. For real! Also, give me a shout out if you do. Excuse me.... WHEN you guys do it. Thnx and enjoy!!
1922. Eshttzer: R A T I O N A L G A Z E
1923. Mr. Plainview: Steel Panther! And you have to check out Katatonia!
1924. kreate: Or look at their new album like their song into decay. That shit goes nasty hard
1925. phildo4prez: "Tuned a little bit lower" hahaha I love you guys. The door stopper sound was perfect.
1926. Philip Barrett: GOAT by Polyphia!
1927. Bro Stallen: Meshuggah - is the golden mine of views. They have one of the most loyal fans in the world.
1928. Tommy Chiasson: Meshuggah will always keep you off-balance.. that's what they do ! Just when you think you've got it figured out... you don't !
1929. Panhandling for Subscribers: Garbage band. Check out (As I lay dying) for great metal that actually sounds good.
1930. Mattiverse: About checking that "universal appeal" box, I don't think bands should automatically strive for that, it is cool that some bands just do their own thing regardless of if 10 or 10000 people like it. BUT if we start looking at the bigger, well known metal bands, many of them definitely do have some universal appeal at least in some level in some of their songs.
1931. Thomas Durham: Two of my favorite Meshuggah songs! Well done on listening with open minds! Keep diving into these guys! You won’t regret it 🤟🏼
1932. Banzowski: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Live Wacken 2013)
1933. Basil Bursheh: Devin Townsend - Deadhead
1934. Victor Supreme: You might like _Monsterworks_ . The most prolific band you haven't heard of.
1935. UEAKDamon: I've always pronounced the name of this song Demi-urge. A little bit of information on the band, they use 8-string guitars, naturally deeper than normal guitars, that are de-tuned slightly, which gives it that quality you described. Also, a fun note on the drumming on Bleed, the drummer Thomas Haake had to spend three months re-learning his double-bass technique just to be able to play it. Great reaction guys, I'm glad to see you revisit this band and hope to see a few more of their songs pop up in the future!
1936. Ingo Kolb: funfact: Meshuggahs Soundengineer/Producer merged 6 (!) Amps per Guitar in order to create their guitarsound for their latest album.
1937. Sergio Sánchez: Dillinger Escape Plan!!!!
1938. Matt Booth: Meshuggah - PIneal Gland Optics. Great groove :D
1939. a suraj sharma: Both of your shirts have the same brand logo!
1940. Rayan Martins: Check In this Moment.
1941. Di rc: it sounds diffrent because they are using a 7 string guitar. 6 Strings are normal for a guitar as you might know ;)
1942. Absalonian: Hell yeah
1943. Jennings Nash: DETHKLOK
1944. Rave Dubin: Fun fact about Meshuggah: Almost every song, the drums and vocals are in normal 4/4 time signature. It's just the guitars that are off-rhythm. Once I caught on to that consistent pattern, every single song sounded perfect to me. It's supposed to sound like a continuous cycling machine, which of course is not appealing to many. But that is the niche of Meshuggah that makes them so awesome!
1945. dario perez: Some bands and genres of metal, as in music in general, are an acquired taste. That's why you liked Messhuggah (even "Bleed") better now, cause you already heard other sounds, structures and ways of making music
1946. TheSlysterII: Check out Blacktongue guys! In The Wake Ov The Wolf, or Vermintide if you want ultra heavy drums, guitars, and growling vocals, trust me, you wont be disappointed, please check them out guys. I like your honesty about your reviews on metal songs, as a metalhead myself, it is nice to hear a view from another angle, keep up the good work!
1947. Edogawa Linn: hands down. \m/ . Death , the greatest band ever .
1948. Blaine Wekony: YOU GUYS NEED TO LISTEN TO THE FULL SONG “bleed”. The video version is like half the song and ends right before the SOLO!!!! Listen to Fredrik’s guitar solo in bleed and realize this band’s full potential!
1949. JES SAW: Love the reactions, guys! Please do Mudvayne. Any song from the album L.D. 50.
1950. knights_who_say_nee: 8 string riffage !!!!
1951. Cory Allmon: Rob zombie
1952. elliott113: Meshuggah is kindof a one trick pony, but it's a really effin good trick, they're just heavy as hell, that's what they do! as far as the heartbeat of metal thing? for me, that's Arch Enemy. well, mainly older Arch Enemy, with Angela, you put on silent wars or nemesis, and i get effin hyped!!
1953. gnarxy: The Dillinger Escape Plan
1954. Josh Parker: Also Thank You Scientist-Mr Invisible!!! and more Alter Bridge baby...White Knuckles.
1955. Alexa Wallace: I second that
1956. Cunning Linguist: Meshuggah (noun) emotionless robot hate machine.
1957. Bart Crisp: Yo, super happy you gave Meshuggah in general and Bleed in particular another chance and are starting to understand if not necessarily join in with the appeal. There's no other band like Meshuggah, they manage to make crushing heaviness weirdly relaxing. I love it. Uneven Structure - Frost/Hail
1958. MalfaiteurCraven: +Ariel Wainzinger But you get what I'm saying, right? It doesn't matter if Nympetamine fix is the best. What I'm saying is that it's probably easier for people who aren't as well versed in metal to get into. Lord Abortion is a pretty bad ass song though.
1959. Bryan Hopper: In This Moment song Big Bad Wolf please!
1960. Potent Potables: Please react to The Smoke of Many Fires by Be'lakor.
1961. Kentaro Derry: I'm still out here suggesting Native Construct - Mute. You'd find it interesting but I still think they deserve more attention.
1962. 6slayer6sam6: Servant in the place of truth by the acacia strain
1963. Vagelis V.: Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
1964. pakakola: Isis (the band) has a great balance of heaviness, melody and groove. The beginning and the end, carry, or just about any song off Oceanic would be a good intro
1965. Luliby: Heh heh...666 comments... Anyway...great review of this song and Meshuggah. I know that Bleed is one of their most well-known songs, but I think that it's probably one of the worst places to start with them. Everyone's always like "Ooh Bleed, gotta do that one", but it's a terrible place to start. It's too crazy. They have so many better places to start where you can see what they're all about. Gotta say though, the Bleed reaction is what made me like you two in the first place. I saw that in my recommendations and thought "Oh boy, let's see what they think of this!"
1966. Kindly ASMR: The Contortionist Language I and II
1967. Justin Burnside: You dudes should check out Vola, Also as always the contortionists language 1 + 2
1968. RoyStorey: would love to see you guys take on Converge. "the broken vow", "dark horse", or "eagles become vultures"
1969. Avanzel: Carach Angren - In De Naam Van De Duivel
1970. amirali khosravani: Dancers to a discordant system official video...
1971. njineermike: Sorry, but that doorstop spring comment was funny as hell!
1972. kuattto: One of the things that make this guitar sound different is the fact that it has 8 strings. Normal guitars has only 6.
1973. Scott Gindele: Oh why the edits... play whole song please!!!
1974. Dantré Dogborsa: Dillinger Escape Plan - Milk Lizard
1975. rolla: Please don't waste your metal reviews with the bands like meshugga... Review the great bands like black sabbath, judas priest, iron maiden, big 4, overkill, etc. and all we can enjoy the music.
1976. Justin Hodge: New mallinium cyanide christ is better than this shit. It should have been #1. Its the only meshuggah song i can actually listen to and its got a good beat
1977. Samo Targos: Veil of Maya by Cynic
1978. rorz999: +Bark Lord of the Sith I can see why that might seem odd, but the 'traditional' metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden and so on just sound corny to me. I used to be a jazz-head so Meshuggah isn't any more inaccessible than a lot of bebop or free jazz
1979. Toolshed76: Pronounced "Demi" "urge"
1980. Kinski: Looking forward to 666k subs
1981. brian knutson: How about some CROSSOVER METAL? I suggest S.O.D. March of the S.O.D. / Sergent "D". Please play both together as one song.
1982. DigiDee: To your comments about an artist needing to strive for at least some universal appeal; perhaps from a marketing standpoint. True art is done solely for the sake of the artist and not with the intent to please anyone else. At least this is what we were taught in design school. If you're intending to create something to appeal to others, it becomes something more akin to design than art. Does it really apply to music? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps successful artists start off creating for their own appeal and somehow strike interest in others simply by happenstance. Does it stop being art at that point? I dunno, that's debateable.
1983. Hating me is conforming: React to Between the buried and me "white walls".
1984. Xotev: Bolt Thrower - The Killchain
1985. Burnt Chrysler: hell yea
1986. Adrian Cole: This is a gym song listened to super loud.
1987. he1mdall1: Vektor - Tetrastructural Minds
1988. Swensen Home: But, and I’m curious as you’re both admittedly rooted in hip-hop, ...will it sample? Or, will it hip-hop? Can someone effectively rap to it?
1989. James Dean: +Jim M I've heard their new single I am above, the verses were ok not to sure on the chorus tho
1990. Adam Sandoval: Check boxes result in pop music.
1991. Rick Deckard: +Ozamataz Buckshank Oh ok thanks. That patreon thing... So now I can recommend Refuse/Resist ;)
1992. Rick Deckard: I don't think they'll do it as every reaction channel has done it but who knows... By the way every one rcommends the wacken version, but I personnaly slightly prefer the offficial live in Argentina version where the audience is crazy and sounds even more intense. Even Floor's famous ending is even more impressive with the crowd shouting her name at the end, considering she joined the band only 2 months before...
1993. Rens: Animals as Leaders!
1994. isuckatguitar12: Bleed being a "heartbeat for metal" was actually a really beautiful metaphor lmao Fantastic video. I never would have thought yall'd go back and revist a song and compare and revisit your original opinions and shit. Really really great idea. Can't wait till you do that with Cannibal Corpse lmao. I'd say pick a slow catchier Cannibal Corpse song next time. Evisceration Plague, Scourge of Iron, Death Walking Terror? Sentenced to Burn, etc. All slow songs with hooky riffs and some groove. Also a more accessible vocalist who enunciates lol
1995. martini1179: BREAK THOSE BONES WHOSE SINEWS GAVE IT MOTION -- Meshuggah.
1996. Gaze of Fate: As a metalhead, what song from Black Thought should I listen to first?
1997. eric justus: Check out Grip Incorporated Built to Resist
1998. Grin Host: Coroner "Divine Step"
1999. Thomas Durham: Also you might try listening to the live version of these songs from “The Obsidian Trek” I highly recommend swarm live! I think y’all would really dig this song! 🤟🏼
2000. Ghostief: Igorrr - ieuD and Boris - Vanilla Still going, boys.
2001. charlie gafken: To the point you made about accessibility for a band, some artists truly don’t care about commercial success and just want to push boundaries and I generally find that those are the artists that other musicians enjoy. You can listen to the outliers for creative inspiration and bring it back to more accessible music.
2002. Mr Schneebly: +Kyle Parks Also same.
2003. Pee Wee Wallabowski: Helloween - Eagle Fly Free
2004. Neigh Slayer: On the comment working to have that mass appeal. It is a tricky thing to do and do right. You know what they say. "If you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one." Lots of bands try to jump on a certain trend and reach out to a broader audience only to fail at getting that new crowd and pissing off their fans. Do experiment, but don't compromise. Stay true to your sound and the fans will come to you. It's how bands like Slayer, Slipknot, Pantera and Lamb Of God got so huge, despite having such extreme styles. By not compromising. And on the subject of not compromising, please re-do your vids on Black No.1 and Halo. You only heard the short versions.
2005. The philosophical headbanger: Bands like this aren't trying to attain mass appeal. They are merely making music the way they want to, knowing that they will appeal to a specific audience so people can take it or leave it. Metal bands often find themselves in a dilemma of finding their own space and sound without sounding like someone else, being true to their art and themselves, knowing mainstream culture will reject them and in some way also seek 'some' kind of success without looking like they've "sold out". Nobody wants to stay broke all the time, but there is a stigma of success in the metal world. You wanna be successful to some extent, but you risk betraying your core audience. Artists such as this don't want to be put in boxes. Anyway, interesting reaction. Thanks guys. You should do a full album reaction to metallica's kill em all. And for the love of metal, revisit megadeth!
2006. A- Wall: So cool you gave Bleed a re-listen!
2007. Tyler Paar: Add some more logic!!!!
2008. Monty Koch: I'm 50 years old and have been a rabid metalhead my entire life. I've always felt like I should like Meshuggah. Like you, I could never find the groove. I'd give them a shot a couple of times every year with no luck. Then this year I came across their song Combustion. The light came on and now I can't get enough. Fantastic video you guys! Great descriptions and breakdown of what was happening and your feelings/reaction. New subscriber! Combustion and Do Not Look Down would be my suggestions for you to check out.
2009. 82christos: Some Lucifer's Child maybe?
2010. Sai Wind: Hacktivist - Unlike us!
2011. Cereal Killa: try listening to demiurge at 1.5x speed it's like listening to lamb of god so good! it works on both levels
2012. Robert Lenn: Or do Meshuggah again. But Clockworks
2013. Jesse Bowman: +Mr Schneebly keep bothering them!!
2014. derek melton: I thought you guys did music reactions?
2015. Will S.: I do apologize. I have bern requesting the wrong thing. For a while now. I would very much like you to consider Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine (Overdose). I have been slipping in what I was requesting. Allow me to own up to my own faults. I should have caught this before I did. I apologize for the error. Please consider this song, not solely because I made an error, but because I think you need to hear this very specific version of this one song. Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine (Overdose). Please do work and keep an open mind. Free think like a mother fucker!!! It needs some attention.
2016. Aidan Papps: OMG I’m never gonna listen to djent the same again! XD “sounds like a door stopper”
2017. Logan Maubert: They using 7 or 8 strings guitars with low tuning. That explain this cold and harsh sound. Try Behind The Sun, to me, the best song of Meshuggah, of all time ! By the way great video as usual guys, keep going that’s really interesting. We have probably the same love of music as well, but your opinions/arguments are constructive, thoughtful. Greetings from France guys ! Peace
2018. venrakdrake: Morbid Angel - Nothing is not
2019. Ariel Wainzinger: Nothing against that song, but it is far from their best. Lord Abortion, Thirteen Autumns And A Widow, Heaven Torn Asunder, Ebony Dressed For Sunset are all a much better representation of the band as a whole. Even most of Hammer Of The Witches and Cryptoriana would be a better start than Nymphetamine.
2020. charrua18: meshuggah = shite
2021. MJNation: React to Love You To Death by Type O Negative and Replica by Fear Factory. Please.
2022. Di Ko: Benighted - leatherface
2023. Teehee186: Protest the hero
2024. Dan Balcom: I saw them preform this live and it was CRUSHING. Meshuggah live is a must experience
2025. Astral_Jelly: They grow up so fast :')
2026. Andrew Martinez: They should have done future breed machine just because it’s a better transition into a more methodical band like Meshuggah.
2027. The Dusk: You know they don't like it when they start skipping some parts haha
2028. Octacilio lino neto: BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE
2029. ZukJimny: F E A R F A C T O R Y ! ! !
2030. Jai du Toit: Pronounced de-me-urge
2031. Mahan9792: After the Burial - Neo-Soul After the Burial - A Vicious Reforming of Features
2032. gibbyjack: I would say that Meshuggah’s cult like flowing is due to the respect they garner from other musicians and songwriters and people that want to be challenged by music. This respect comes from meshuggah’s pursuit of experimentation and complexity in the rhythmic exercises they choose to structure their songs around. They have no real desire to make mainstream or even catchy songs, they push the musicianship envelope and attempt to simultaneously draw you in AND throw you off of the grooves they play around with. Great band. Fantastic musicians.
2033. Ludwig Danielsson: Man, that was the mildest reaction to the riff at 5:00 lol. I can't hear it without going crazy.
2034. Oly J: Moving outside of your box for general or mass appeal is also known as selling out. Someone that likes pop music is never going to like this band no matter how much they water it down.
2035. Adam: Combustion is brutal! Please react to that!!
2036. brian cady: Its an 8 string down tuned they were the 1st with custom 8 strings
2037. Chris L.: Hey guys love the channel! Please react to nightwish - ghost love score (live wacken) probably one of the greatest vocal performances you will ever see!
2038. speakdeath: I'm telling you you've reviewed meshuggah, but only their new shot. Listen to their older stuff, its much better. Gods of rapture
2039. DES S: Ryan and George, good rryeaction! Meshugga is pretty heavy due to the fact that they use 8-string guitars very well, the precision is intense. That's how they get the deep sounds of their riffs, also another thing that makes them stand out a little bit more is how they use different time signatures. Guitars are playing 5/16 or 17/16 while the drums are playing 4/4 on the cymbals and the double bass drum with the snare are both playing 23/16 time signatures. This something that's usually done in jazz, but they mold it into metal fashion, those crazy swedish guys! One other little tid bit, the name of the band came about after they decided that they liked the Yiddish word for *Crazy*. So yeah they're a hard sell, but ya gotta give props, technically they're up there with *Rush*. Well with that being said I would like to to put in my request as always for your reaction to. *Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix* a collaboration between *George Lynch* guitar Dokken and *Corey Glover* vocal Living Colour the songs *Crawl Walk Run* or *Counture Culture* featuring *Dug Pinnick* from *Kings X*. Corey Glover's solo release Hymns the songs *Sermon*' or *One*. Living Colour's *Open Letter To A Landlord* or maybe *Kings X* *Over My Head*. And on the country side *Dwight Yoakam's* *Thousand Miles From Nowhere*, *Guitars and Cadillacs* or *Fast as you*, *Pistol Annies* the songs *Hell On Wheels,* *Hush Hush* or maybe *I Got My Name Changed Back* would be cool as hell! One last thought, I think you guys should check out *Ian Moore* particularly the song *Satisfied* off his self titled album by the way this whole album rocks in my humble opinion. Keep on rockin' ☮️✌️!!
2040. Brad Kozak: The ritual- Testament
2041. Nic Lastname: Revisit Amon Amarth.
2042. Joshua Lesicka: Time for car bomb?
2043. Aakash Balaji: +Marc Edwards Anselmo isnt racist. He explained why he shouted white power was because some two randoms were shouting and accusing him of being one for an entire show in the front row, though he wasnt. He was irritated and did it just to hit back at those two fools.
2044. gastondemille: Will Haven - Carpe Diem
2045. Bjarki2330: +yoco90 Thanks! :)
2046. DeAndre Moham: Steve Vai-For The Love God live with Holland Orkest
2047. Joel Oxley: Sikth - Skies Of Millenium Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaQxJtHc8Co
2048. SystemFailure: Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata
2049. Rex Gay: Which one of your playlist has changed the most since y'all started doing this? I would like to see a then and now comparison.
2050. Mikey Free: If you want the heartbeat of Metal, try "Heartwork" by Carcass
2051. speakdeath: Suicidal tendencies you can't bring me down . its the best. Review it
2052. Marc Friedrich: At the beginning for me "Bleed" was too much and heavy too. The vocals and everything was overkill. But my song that I started finally to understand, feel and love Meshuggahs sound and becoming a big fan is "Do not look down". It was the groove, the heaviness and the unconventional rhythms that catched me. So every other proposed songs are great and are for sure more classics for Meshuggah, but i think "do not look down" would have pleased you more to start with their sound and getting into it. Just my opinion. But fun to see you react! I totally can understand, Meshuggah needs time, but then it will hit you hard😁🤘🏼
2053. Victor Erickson: Aboslutely! There's a lot of absolutely stunning electronic music. Seconding this 1000x
2054. Fred D'Amours: Enter Shikari - Arguing With Thermometers... as they say : abusing music's worthless genre boundaries since 2003.
2055. Joshua Mikell: Pleaseeeeee do Tech n9nes new song “hit the ground running”
2056. James Whitehead: 100% should have done New Millenium Cyanide Christ. Another is Dancers to a Discordant System. And door stopper. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
2057. David Markov: Alright boys, it took some time, but we got'em! :D
2058. Khalgaming: React to Nothing more - This is it or Fade/in Fade/out.
2059. Egregious Humanity: Cemetery Gates is a great song. But opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one, and a lot of them stink.
2060. Julián Palacios: Mr bungle - My ass is on fire ... Pleaseeee
2061. Alan Simmons: Excellent! Still wanna see you guys do Battlecross - Push Pull Destroy!
2062. Nehemiah Grubbs: Architects - Hereafter
2063. Baby Cayden: Emmure - Solar Flare Homicide
2064. AnthonY TenkkU: Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life, fantastic death metal song that has a sound I think you would enjoy. It has a saxophone solo, and its worth noting that the lead singer is deaf. Please react to it. Thanks.
2065. Jade: You raise an interesting point, because especially Death Metal(-ish) artists have a rough time keeping the cash going in without being on tour literally 24/7. You have to ship your equipment and basically live on budget for the rest of your days to give a small group of people a genuine experience. I don't really agree that you should just blatantly go down the gojira route, diversity in metal is every bit as important as appealing to a wider audience. A good example of this is Nile, which has been touring for 20 years, pretty much nonstop. They are more popular in europe than the US. Dallas Toler-Wade left the band after some 20 years of being their front man. I'm not sure about specifics, but imagine yourself growling for 20 years, every day, 2 hours nonstop. Even with the proper technique it is tough. George Fisher from cannibal corpse destroyed his voice beyond repair. It's a tough life for death metal acts.
2066. Francois Labonne: I'ma push for an Infinite by Eminem reaction till y'all do it 😤
2067. Nathaniel Milner: DO NOT LOOK DOWN
2068. MrBook: DO BLEED AGAIN! A whole new video where you revisit a song with new ears would be tight. Also if you do Meshuggah again, New Millennium Cyanide Christ is *nuts*. It's like the music equivalent of an MC Escher painting. The rhythms are so complex and strange that your brain struggles to understand what it's hearing.
2069. Mikael Jönsson: Please do In Flames - December Flower or Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
2070. fake mcgee: "top 100 rap battle bars of all time: part 1" please! love you guys.
2071. jay: you guys missed the nuggets in the lyrics, they have encoded a lost message into the song. The demiurge (demi-urge), is what ancient (and modern) Gnostic's warned about, as the creator of the "Father God" the 'imposter god', the inspiration for the father god religions, abraham, jehovha, mohamad etc. "My deliverence - enslavement labelled: love."The heaviness of the the music fits the heaviness of the message in the lyrics...
2072. TE LAR: Do a linkin Park song!
2073. That Idiot Bass Player: If you get the opportunity to catch them live, don't miss out. Super mesmerizing and overpowering, and the light show in sync with the different rhythms of the songs takes things to a different level
2074. santastolemyshoe: The Contortionist - Language Parts 1 and 2
2075. Donnie Frixione: You guys should check out Swarm by Meshuggah amazing drumming and song progression.
2076. George West: Down eyes of the south or anything off Nola.
2077. Adam Castillo: August Burns Red - Invisible Enemy! Awesome groove!
2078. jeremy Henson: Byzantine - verses of violence song has everything melody, muscianship, writing, aggression, groove... it checks all the boxes.
2079. Zak K: When you guys were talking about artists who have been able to appeal to a broader audience, it made me think that you guys should try the song "Dream House" by Deafheaven. They're a black metal band that managed to get a lot of appeal in more mainstream indie rock circles and even ended up getting a positive review on Pitchfork, who never usually review metal. A lot of people have said that their album "Sunbather" got them into metal for the first time. They also sort of started a big trend in black metal in the same way that Meshuggah did with djent (not that I would call them as important or influential as Meshuggah, but they did sort of kickstart the blackgaze movement).
2080. vin m: Gojira l'enfant sauvage
2081. zupator: Thank you for giving Meshuggah another listen. I think you would like these songs by Meshuggah for next time Lethargica, Obzen and Pravus.
2082. DCD Chango: Devin Townsend - Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall) Tesseract - Phoenix
2083. DarthKotEI: Derrick Larson The definition I prefer: “A figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe.”
2084. JRHockney: One of the main musical ideas behind 'Djent' is strumming (often palm muted) power chords at the same time as the bass drum hits and doing it in very complicated rhythms while the snare and high-hat/ride cymbals keep a slower or simple rhythm....this is often VERY difficult especially for the drummer. Meshuggah does this better than just about anyone. Their drummer is an absolute monster.
2085. Mike I: Primus- Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Shake Hands With Beef
2086. Jon Roberts: Sick Of It All - Just Look Around
2087. shr00mhead: Stoned Jesus - Im the Mountain Youll love it.
2088. chrisrisky: Bands like Meshuggah just play what they like, rather than what people want to hear. Luckily there’s enough people with similar taste that they could have a career making music, but you’re not gonna make music for 30 years going for mass appeal over playing what you enjoy playing. Also, the Dillinger Escape Plan needs to get on your radar somehow. Maybe start with Milk Lizard
2089. Nasir Sharaf: Please react to Death Grips!!!
2090. Jayson Javier: Listen to Clockworks from Meshuggah. Prepares you for wanting to face and fight a living mountain. Groovy headbanger!
2091. John reed: Cemetery Gates is a must in terms of metal.
2092. meshuggah life: Sorry but your patreon chose the wrong song. Their older albums are way more unique. New millennium cyanide christ is way better for someone like yourselves.
2093. Michael Wilburn: Cast Down the Heretic by Nile
2094. westy skp: Great channel guy's. I would love to see your reaction to. Dead Kelly, The legend of Borry.
2095. Derrick Larson: dem · i · urge /ˈdemēˌərj/ noun a being responsible for the creation of the universe, in particular.
2096. Jan Werthwein: Future Breed Machine would be amazing
2097. B Dubs: I love that you went back to Bleed, that was legit. Nobody is like Meshuggah but Meshuggah and I respect that too. Think you would love love live Devin Townsend - Higher, I know everyone wants Deadhead and thats fine but treat yourself to Higher in private if you have to cuz it's the shit.
2098. Morbid: Gorgoroth-Carving a Giant (VIDEO)
2099. jim Jennings: I'm going to be pushing for you guys to react to Static X hard :) it's coming up to the 20th anniversary of the release of Wisconsin Death Trip and been 4 years since Wayne Static died, they band are planning a big tour in rememberance. Wayne had a unique style of vocals and deserve to be in here. You could check out the title track of Wisconsin or my personal pick would be the excellent Cannibal.
2100. David Rivas: Please try future breed machine!!
2101. SGSEN: Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine
2102. De Groof: Even me, as a metal fan since I was twelve, and Meshuggah fan since I was 17 (now 40, auch!) had to let meshuggah grow on me with every new album they put out. Start with "destroy erase improve" (second album) and then TRY to step up to their latest albums. Oh, and for the true Meshuggah impact, go to a LIVE show!
2103. HeiLong24: You guys are SO open-minded. Damn. Like, for me it took a few MONTHS to actually get into Messhuggah. 100% kudos & respect.
2104. Andy Fox: Steven Wilson - the raven that refused to sing Porcupine tree - the sound of Muzak Dream theater - Blind Faith
2105. Adam Wood: "Do Not Look Down." seriously, you guys would love it.
2106. Ker Vernes: Djent as a term is resented by Meshuggah. Welcome to Djent Facts!
2107. Chris White: Great video as always guys. You guys should react to the song "The Violation" by the band Fleshgod Apocalypse.
2108. AusieV: More Tremonti!
2109. Lex Slums: Nice thoughts guys
2110. Rodney Wallace: 2:32 Totally agree lmao !!
2111. Nick Bagley: Architects ffs already 🙄
2112. Sarazar: INCENDIARY - NO PURITY!!! :D
2113. Sean Clements: The Dillinger Escape Plan - When Good Dogs Bad
2114. Nick Romeo: Break Those Bones Who's Sinews Gave Motion is a great track by Meshuggah
2115. Dave Starr: You guys check out PUYA yet?
2116. Bikzimus Maximus: I want you to do some Ayreon, but you really gotta do a full album review for that since it's all concept albums.
2117. Todd Crawford: Before starting your listening portion, the mention of Rational Gaze immediately made me think that that song would be a better choice for your reaction because --if memory serves, it has a better groove. Some of the later Meshuggah just pounds you over the head with something that some consider "heavy." But, maybe I am wrong. I think you guys would enjoy the thrash style of Power Trip more than this. The djent sound, as you call it, isn't always the right sound for all listeners. In the other direction (toward prog or technical metal), I think you should try Fallujah's Dreamless album.
2118. HINRG14: Beneath or Slow Burn
2119. Eric Ens: I think by now, you guys are gonna have to start calling yourself experts in metal pretty soon!
2120. berzerk: You can't experience without using earphones, you should get decent earphones!
2121. Neil Moody: Demi-urge. noun a being responsible for the creation of the universe, in particular. (in Platonic philosophy) the Maker or Creator of the world. (in Gnosticism and other theological systems) a heavenly being, subordinate to the Supreme Being, that is considered to be the controller of the material world and antagonistic to all that is purely spiritual.
2122. greenzoid2: My Curse - Killswitch Engage!
2123. Ryan Ewbank: coheed and cambria fear through the eyes of madness
2124. 21BrockBaldridge12: More dream theater
2125. mick4316: Lost in vegas. You guys are the shit, by the way. Meshuggah is my favorite band ever. And you appreciate their songs for the right reasons. Keep it up. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
2126. TheCrazyCanuck420: We should have started them off with something else than Bleed out of the gates :)
2127. Aleksandar Pajić: HEY CHECK SOME SERBIAN RAP BEKFLEŠ SMOKR weed
2128. Alex East: I'm going to say it until I see it. Listen to The Contortionist. Language I: Intuition or Return to Earth. Great reaction by the way. I appreciate how you weigh the head and the heart when discussing your opinions.
2129. Darth Derpslayer: ROTTING CHRIST!! PLEASE FOR ME!! YOUR FELLOW LAS VEGAN! lol! "Xi Balba" and "666". Or Devadevam (for something more "mellow" lol). But I think if you listen to Xi Balba, you will be hyped.
2130. HeatedChair: Phobophobia - Vio-Lence 😀
2131. Ashley Simpson: The Dillinger Escape plan- 43% burnt
2132. mrdrprof99: That pause is called dynamics.
2133. Sami Louati: Anciients - Worshipper : https://youtu.be/Pt4jCW7-p4Q
2134. run_gavagai_run: BTW, the Fugazi movie (Instrument) will also give you insight into some of the history of a genre of music (underground punk and hardcore) that you haven't really tapped into yet.
2135. WeWantYouToStay: Well done for starting to understand one of the most difficult bands to get into in all of metal! Loved how you picked up about the rhythmic nature of the vocals. I think you'd enjoy Rational Gaze!
2136. BigdubbtheGreat: Y'all need to listen to the Contortionist!! Language 1 or some of the songs from Clairvoyant will definitely make your respective playlists!
2137. Captain Kramble: Scarpoint - The unknown, The extinct
2138. Isaac Alves: I remember the day I first listened to this song almost 20 years ago
2139. MidnightInferno: I’m pretty sure Meshuggah use 7 or 8 String guitars
2140. Ten Elephants: Cradle!!!!
2141. Dinamo: Please revisit Meshuggah again,, and again, cus when you finaly get it, you will in the most positive way be hooked. 👍👍💖
2142. SONAVAGUN: First, I LOVE metal... Slipknot, fear factory, and so on. Now that I've said that, I will say this... This crap sucks. Most of these "death metal" bands are garbage not music. Don't waist your time on it
2143. Losing Weight, Ripping Vinyl: Some music takes several listenings to fully appreciate. And it pays off in the end because it has better staying power. Music that instantly appeal usually holds interest way worse. Progressive bands seems to be as good listening experience 30 years on while more commercial bids usually just is embarrassing within a year. Meshuggah is demanding attention to detail as it is also heavily dependent on polyrhythms, and if you go from a pure 4/4 territory, then Meshuggah is a very tall order.
2144. Joseph Manes: Man you guys should look into some Doom Metal like "Sleep - Dragonaut" or "Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis" pleeeeeease!!
2145. Nicke: Still no Nightwish???
2146. Adriaan Vermeulen: Listen to Meshuggah's Clockworks!
2147. dgvtx82: Ben G My favorite song from them
2148. Torrey Owens: Classic!!!!! LMFAO!!!
2149. Kevin Baijens: +Sorley Mackay They already did Walk. Anselmo himself commented on that saying how much he liked the reaction and the guys liked and pinned the comment.
2150. Bpoff: m4570d0n been trying to get them to do Bloodmeat for months
2151. mmzen: The guitars sound that way because they have 8 strings with very thick gauges.
2152. Carlos Araujo: You guys would LOVE Combustion by Meshuggah. I think it's way groovier than most of their songs.
2153. Foxxy: Polyphia - G.O.A.T
2154. CaseBass: Meshuggah “I” please
2155. m4570d0n: Please do Protest the Hero
2156. Ethan Anna: Electric Wizard - "Funeralopolis" or "Son of Nothing". Heavier than bowling balls between your legs, and is basically a more sleasy version of Black Sabbath.
2157. Olitod: Nailed it when you mention the trance it puts you in. This is amplified so hard when you see it live. A must see live band honestly.
2158. Ken Becker: It would be cool to see you guys do hip hop "primer" videos to educate us that are on the rock/metal side of things
2159. mrdrprof99: It's also from really digging your pick in deep while you play it.
2160. benneburg: Dødheimsgard - Slave 66 (instrumental) I'm sure you'll like it.
2161. mrgarina: O R P H A N E D L A N D ! ! ! From Broken Vessels
2162. nepats1200: Guys check out Zombie Inc or Coerced Coexistence by In Flames, you guys gotta experience Sweden’s melodic death metal scene!
2163. ninezones123: react to trap metal like zillakami,gizmo,subjectz,caremanzi,scarlxrd and al the other stuff on void tracks
2164. Xavier Gutierrez: MASTODON- The motherload(with the video) it will make you shake your hips and squeeze your tits
2165. Vincent Rpl: Ryan looks like a Georges and vice versa
2166. Olly Johnson: Architects - Doomsday
2167. clancy mclean: MORBID ANGEL- GOD OF EMPTINESS
2168. Lee Thibidaux: Metal Church - Ton of bricks Watch the children pray Human Factor Fake Healer Start the fire
2169. Zed Victor: Give Ryan a year he'll be bangin his head to Tetragrammacide. Alot of metal is about anti-appeal though, even if it is grown from the roots from blues rock and classical and sometimes pop. But sometimes being a metalhead is searching for the arms-race in technical assault, how dark and inhuman it can become.
2170. A Reputable Man: First like, then watch 🤘🤘🤘
2171. Eric Spring: Haha, I LITERALLY said "I wish they'd give Bleed another chance now" while watching this, and you did right within the video. Awesome. \m/
2172. wkwilley2: Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life!!!!!
2173. JFRiley: I love that you guys revisited Bleed...true Free thinkers you two
2174. Robin Richeson: Please listen to March to the Sea or Shock Me by Baroness! Long story short, when I had Uterine Cancer almost 6 years ago, their music got me through some very tough times!
2175. Roger Frost: Wow, I love that you guys went back to bleed in this video. This would be a really cool feature to add to your videos when it's an option. Or even a revisit on certain songs in general.
2176. Todd Pidgeon: Now that you guys have a bit more of a tolerance for some heavier stuff, I think the band Kataklysm, may be something you guys could get into. "The Black Sheep", "Crippled And Broken"or "As I Slither" as song picks would be a good place to start. They are a Canadian Death Metal band but they have some pretty groovy and heavy riffs that i think you guys could be into. Love your Videos!
2177. 0Wolfheart0: Tender Surrender by Steve Vai since Ryan loves guitar!
2178. Dan B: It’s a solid song, but Meshuggah has stuff way beyond this. Future Breed Machine, Obzen, Rational Gaze are all incredible. Also gotta throw out: VEKTOR - Tetrastructural Minds KHEMMIS - Isolation REVOCATION - Scorched Earth Policy
2179. Eduardo Freitas: BEHEMOTH - Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel
2180. Hann Pungartnik: Necrophagist - Stabwound
2181. Jealous Gods: The Hammer - Kublai Khan
2182. Taluckder Riam: Please please please Alter Bridge words darker than their wings.....🙏🙏🙏
2183. Camron Fritts: When you guys revisit Meshuggah, you HAVE to react to Do Not Look Down. I maintain that this song has THE TIGHTEST GROOVES EVER CONCOCTED, all in 4/4 time.
2184. Dominic Airola: You guys doing Steel Panther - Death to all but Metal would be HILARIOUS
2185. jamil quinto: should have been New Millennium Cyanide video
2186. Kinshred: Definitely try Rational Gaze, get your true filtered vitamin juice.
2187. Zigur Eru: TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). This is a MUST! It's SO good! No lies!
2188. J Alves: Do more SLIPKNOT, Duality and Gently are bad picks Eyeless (Sic) People = Shit Come on guys !
2189. John Snow: If you're looking something a little more accessible, listen to Doomsday by Architects.
2190. rorz999: Omg, yes!
2191. Brad Thompson: Red Fang - Wires
2192. David Hamilton: How do people listen to this?
2193. bert fromarketin: A DemiUrge is like fake GOD cosmology ....
2194. Yiorgios Vazouras: You guys should do a reaction video of Dragula by Rob Zombie. You guys haven’t really covered Industrial Metal, and it’s a shock rock classic as well. Really worth a video.
2195. Jay Moe: Between the buried and me - prequel to the sequel
2196. creamcheese65: Nice break down. My favorite Meshuggah track: Sane.
2197. metalheaddave666: Excellent review. Thanks for keeping an open mind
2198. mysterywhiteboy72: thing to remember with Meshuggah, just crack your neck to the back beat, and don't get thrown by the guitar and bass drum rhythms. It's incredibly easy to dance to their discordant system, just feel it.
2199. GrayEcho: Sleep - Dragonaut
2200. Rugged Reviews: Meshuggah is a acquired taste, once you acquire it you will always be a die hard fan. My favorite metal band
2201. ephysdad: Curiosity took me to one of their shows, and it’s totally not my scene. That said, I get why most people are there. It’s their weapon.
2202. Brian O'Neil: Most common reaction from my friends who don't care for djent/math-technical metal is "I respect the hell out of Meshuggah's talent and skills, but damn I can't stand listening to 'em." So once more you both are more open minded in your approach to music than about 90% of the people I know Bravo!. Oh, and just as a note, Tomas Haake can play in three time signatures at the same time, which is amazing but not a readily accessible sound.
2203. The Sleeping Pulsar: Yes!!! So proud of you guys!! :D You are starting to digest heaviness to reach the true musical and rythmical experience in Meshuggah. Right side guy (sry for not knowing your name), once you started Bleed again, you bobbed your head to the right pulsation!...nice!..you can feel the rythm now, just don't lose for the entire song and your mind will blow :D
2204. RockinAfr0666: New Millenium Cyanide Christ is groove city!!!! Please check that one out!! \m/
2205. S Toy: Floor - Oblation
2206. jpgduff: If you want to see just how good their drummer is then you should check out Clockworks - there's a video of a Thomas Hakke playthrough of the song in the studio. It's. Insane. He's incredible!
2207. ThrashingMadPL Streamy: Celtic Frost - Circle of the Tyrants maybe?
2208. xLegendaryPete: please do Octavarium by dream theater! I know its a long song, but you guys wont be disappointed i promise!
2209. Zach Dean: Love your videos, you say your not biased, often hear you reference that there isn't a great deal of substance, deliverance etc these days, do your ears a favour and do a chillinit x wombat underated reaction 🇦🇺 or think twice by the four owls 🇬🇧, thank me later!
2210. Xavier Vergara: Converge
2211. Alessandro Sicur: You can't djam to it !
2212. itypewithmykneecaps1: Kinda bummed you guys don't like Meshuggah more, but respect the fact that you gave them another honest listen. That's all one can ask for! Also, it's very cool that you've been able to evolve musically just by seeking different types of music out and being open minded. We should all be like that. Cheers guys. PS Do more Tool : D
2213. Eduardo Martinez: CEMETERY GATES
2214. James Kernaghan: You guys definitely need to do some BTBAM soon.
2215. TJ P: That would be fun
2216. 01sanguinius: clockworks would blow your mind!
2217. supersierra70: What trips me out about you two...coming from 'hip hop' as your main focus throughout your lives...is how you are able to really intellectually break the music down, appreciate the parts that are good (which oddly enough, many of the parts you guys like are the same parts 'metal-heads' like) and know which things suck. Keep up the cool and good work!
2218. Isaac Brzozowske: Vildhjarta- the lone deranger
2219. Xavier Ribeiro: Yes!
2220. Esteban Aguayo: You should review Bleed but watching a live version. The guitar tracks in the studio version sound very thin and have zero substance. Plus, the guitar solo is unbelievable and it's technically impossible to hear it well unless it's live.
2221. iiXeno: Nile - Kafir!
2222. John Wentz: It's pronounced de-mi-urge.
2223. Paulo Borba: Pain of Salvation - People Passing By
2224. Mora: Black sabbath - N.I.B
2225. Joe Broadbent: Next time you do Meshuggah listen to New Millennium Cyanide Christ, probably their most accessible song.
2226. Larry Owens: The thing is guys, with metal musicians, the goal isnt to appeal to others - they're making music for themselves, and if others like it, then hey, that's cool. If you're digging on some of that groove there, you need to check out Decapitated - Spheres of Madness. Possibly the sickest groove ever recorded.
2227. Dane Petersen: 6:56 I cracked up so hard at my dude on the lefts reaction Lol ABSOLUTELY
2228. Dindu Nuffin: *Clockworks next*
2229. josh w: Please do In Flames - Only For the Weak
2230. FlamSalad: For real though, listen to "do not look down" off camera at least. It's got dat hip hop bounce!!!
2231. MandatoryZong: Wow, love that you went back and revisited Bleed to see if your opinions on it changed. Also gotta agree with everyone else who has already said it, you two having a metalhead discussion on the music and appeal vs niche was a really cool thing to witness happen organically like that. On that note (specifically about using widespread appeal for growth as an artist), you guys really need to give Black Crown Initiate a whirl. So putting forward Black Crown Initiate - Belie The Machine for your consideration.
2232. Ice Kold Killa: Daaaamn Black Thought. Name dropping, huh? Amazing dude!
2233. Mikey Medina: React to New Milenuium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggah the groove in that song is insane (Preferably the live version on the Alive dvd)
2234. FrshChees91: Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us is the Killer
2235. Chris Archuleta: if you love groove, you NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED to listen to Pantera.... please haha
2236. 19ThreeLions97: banananana BANANANANANA *BANANANANANA*
2237. 6slayer6sam6: I keep saying it... devourment: babykiller...groovy...or the last communion by abominable putridity.
2238. William Azevedo: I would say that now you guys like Meshuggah better because now you get some context.
2239. rollpoze: Spot on!!!! The first time I heard bleed I did not get it.... forgot about it , listened to it 1 year later and loved it....
2240. Travis Woyen: Carcass - Heartwork
2241. Vinnie Maclean: To respectfully disagree i would say attempting to change yourself to tick a box for universal appeal compromises your ability to call yourself an artist. As soon as you are prepared to make the compromise it's no longer your art. Still love ya but
2242. OEMR: Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down(live)
2243. Miroslav Korelus: KNOCKED LOOSE - OBLIVIONS PEAK
2244. Damian Regalado: THUMBS UP FOR: Intronaut - The Unlikely Event of a Waterlanding or Killing Birds With Stones or Harmonomicon or Fast Worms or Sul Ponticello or Core Relations or Miasma or The Way Down
2245. Eric Davidson: Make them suffer. Give it a shot guys. I think it's time you guys go off the popular metal and go underground
2246. Raymond Whatley: Demiurge, pronounce Demi-Urge, is a concept from Gnosticism. basically, there was a loose bunch of Christian movements before the orthodoxy was finalized and many are described today as "Gnostic". Some of these Gnostics believed that the God who sent Jesus wasn't actually the old testament God. they believed that there was a a supreme God whose essence sort of reiterated itself into successively lesser gods and that the lowest was an evil being called Demiurge. They believed that the Demiurge created our world and was the God of the old testament with his violence and all of that. They believed that Jesus was sent to provide secret, sacred knowledge pertaining to the fact that the true God was higher than the Demiurge.
2247. Silky Johnson: Gotta say i disagree with you guys on this one. This is one of those metal songs that proves that you don't have to be the fastest ever to be a heavy song. The breakdown around 2:26 of the actual song is one of the hardest things I've heard in a metal song.
2248. Doctor Drew: I would like for them to react to something off of Nadir
2249. nightfall: interesting
2250. Pteribledactyl: Djent heads appreciate the doorstopper joke... thats classic.... This shouldve been Millennium Cyanide Christ.
2251. Michael Richards: Scar Symmetry. The Illusionist....
2252. Pyle Plays: Going off of your Mastodon Live review. This is one band you HAVE TO SEE LIVE IN YOUR LIFETIME!!!!!
2253. Anders Larsson: As a swede who has been a fan of meshuggah for 20 years I have to recommend Future breed machine. That is what got me starting listening to them.
2254. CloneCommando501st: I admit I thought that song was by demon hunter for ages
2255. Mckoy Ulshafer: Pantera suicide note part 2!!
2256. Bob Denver: They are playing the Open Air festival in May, the lineup is really damn good . I would highly recommend going if you have the time.
2257. Ohwahahahahah: I would also have wanted to see them compare it to the percussion arrangement also.
2258. Ian Pomfret: 10,000 years is a banger, I'd bet they'd love it. The intro groove seems right up their alley.
2259. Mother Sloth: Honestly tho any dillinger would be good
2260. J B: Respect the band, respect the instrumentation, but I can't listen to this. It is not audibly pleasing. I prefer a more melodic style of metal.
2261. Craig Smith: The door stopper comment sounds like a challenge for Rob Scallon
2262. KaroKoenich: Annihilator - Imperiled Eyes. That would be great.
2263. Xavier Vergara: Code Orange
2264. shatalg: I come back to this channel 6 months later and these guys are suddenly metalheads talking about Cannibal Corpse and shit lol I love it
2265. Jonny Guillen: I don't wanna be that guy, but.... This song is not as interesting as something like Stengah, or dancers to a discordant system. Or Electric Red. Demiurge is a bit too monotonous. I still love it though.
2266. Aaron Fowler: I have been asking for Ants of the Sky for a while now. We need to get them on this.
2267. violense Peacecraft: Djent (/dʒɛnt/) is a subgenre of progressive metal, named for an onomatopoeia for the distinctive high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, low-pitch guitar sound first employed by Meshuggah. https://www.revolvermag.com/music/meshuggah-apologize-djent-it-was-drunk-misunderstanding
2268. xSpirit_ Fox: Loathe - White hot
2269. Jo Blo From Kokomo: Slaughter to Prevail - Chronic Slaughter is some of the craziest shit y'all will ever hear
2270. RNGsalad: You guys would absolutely adore “Do Not Look Down’s” groovier rhythm, people are starting you off too hard... you have to ease into Meshuggah!
2271. craig benson: In my opinion the Meshuggah peak creative period was evident in albums 'Chaosphere,' 'Nothing' and 'Catch33.' Far more intense and dynamic than following albums. And is where Kidman's vocal range was much more broad and less throaty.
2272. jake berry: Fun fact Tomas haake does all his drums on a computer then learns how to play them later.
2273. jhill76john: Demi-urge.
2274. Aaron Fowler: Between The Buried And Me - Ants Of The Sky
2275. jeff shaver: It’s very simple. You have to see them live. I’ve seen them 5 times and every time it shatters my soul and rebuilds me.
2276. Ryan Schofield: Cassidy Robinson yes!
2277. powergamer6: Two reactions in one video. So sick! You guys are seriously titans! Love it. Amazing. Keep it up! Looking forward to more power metal reactions ;)
2278. toby 333: Savatage-Of Rage and War
2279. Daniel: Man, you can't hate this song. Cant hate that band.
2280. John Medved: Also, Detox by Strapping Young Lad (led by Devin Townsend) is about as heavy/crazy as it gets.
2281. Gluon PA: Huge fan of Mesh but do not like this song, way to boring.
2282. Raul Rios: Vektor - Charging the Void
2283. Bru Master: YES!!
2284. Johnny SideburnsX: Infant annihilator - soil the stillborn
2285. Max E: Nice to see your feelings change about Meshuggah. I'm pleasantly surprised.
2286. x: At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
2287. 19ThreeLions97: Their "I" is the craziest thing ever. 21 mins of djent's equal to mindless shredding, but its good. Absolute madness.
2288. Lisa Johnson: Ooo Portishead! Yes!
2289. run_gavagai_run: Ok. Regarding the conversation at the end of this video, you guys need to do 2 things. 1. You need to listen to some Fugazi. Fugazi is a punk band from the late 80s and 90s. 2. You need to watch the Fugazi movie to learn about at least one band with no interest in commercial appeal and making money and WHY that might not be a goal. Even Meshuggah, who I love, have a large commercial following and perform in huge venues, sell merchandise, and they are (to some extent) bound artistically to the dictates of their label.
2290. nick leeper: You guys need to do some In Flames!!! Anything from soundtrack to your escape and before.
2291. Beebo A.D.: The song is pronounced ‘demi•urge.’ Solid reaction guys.
2292. Chris Jayes: so bord of djent now
2293. Manoj Jaiswal: Cockroach King - Haken
2294. David Mathes: +Jethro Tool I think sleep is a better word than trance, just my opinion
2295. TheCarlisleAlgonquin: Their live show will change your life. Amazing.
2296. la porte: +Tom Jr Same, I first suggested that one a year and a half ago. It just seems like they prefer to react to copycats or worse bands, rather than the band that created modern metal...
2297. Tex Mex: Doom - BFG division!!
2298. Coradinimuay: The Philosopher by Death is the grooviest metal song ever
2299. Smitty Smith: Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague (official video) would be very accessible to you.
2300. Omkar Bharambe: Gojira - Oroborus - where dragons dwell
2301. FREQ: One of the Greatest! A true visionary in a heavier form of expression. He truly progressed as an Artist and was totally against Death metal Stereotypes. The timeline of his discography and his concepts, Musical performances and Songwriting was truly Art.
2302. Monkey Robots Inc.: meshuggah is my favorite band. for sure. they are the best, but this song sucks ass. sorry you fell for the idiots and chose this song. put on rational gaze or do not look down. right now. get with it.
2303. Paul Stout: You guys are really starting to feel the music now. So many reaction channels only reference the lyrics without analyzing the timing, riffs, and what the band is going for. You're starting to understand how to get into the heavier music now that you've had your aggressive vocal cherry popped. You'll only appreciate the extreme stuff more. Props for keeping an open mind! Metal eventually infects you for life.
2304. Creat10nX: Hard to listen to this without making that stank face lol. Love the videos guys.
2305. Mr. Nerve Damage: You have to understand your audience (the ones hearing the music for the first time). These guys love strong grooves and melodies generally. Knowing this... New Millinium Cyanide Christ should have been the clear song to choose for Lost in Vegas to listen to over this newer one lol. I guarantee they will like that song more. I don’t know if the people suggesting the newer Meshuggah did it because they are younger and don’t know older Meshuggah songs (before they detuned heavily) or what, but mistakes were clearly made lol. Meshuggah, prior to their Nothing album, is much more thrashy and melodic. Songs like Suffer in Truth, Soul Burn, Ritual, Cyanide Christ, even stuff like Internal Evidence I’m sure they would like better.
2306. UnWastedMovies: Saying the right songs man!
2307. shawn devol: Hey gentlemen, please give lamb or God another chance. You reacted to the most boring song off of their best album. Every other song on that album is beyond fire. Try one gun, or omerta, or break you, or faded line.
2308. Ryan Smart: Some of there music is like a workout to listen to. The timing is so unorthodox that it forces you to really focus. Not this song so much but a lot of their music
2309. Brr Black: 8 string guitars and odd time signatures , incase no-one informed them
2310. santastolemyshoe: Poison the well - 12/23/93
2311. Ian Carlson: Protest the Hero C'est la Vie
2312. HLGAM3R: Crackin song choice and great insight! But, I have always thought that "Demiurge" is pronounced "DemiUrge", unlike "DeMIEUXrge".
2313. Boba Fat: I just love following your metal evolution, reminds me so hard of myself. Thanks for doing this! And at some point in the future, listen to some Dying fetus <3
2314. Kevin Ordonez: Should of done Rational Gaze or Stenga
2315. al f: Guess you guys got "used to" meshuggah and now understand it better
2316. Jeremy Johnson: Interesting fact: Meshuggah has opened for Tool. Maybe it's a sign? Just saying.
2317. Ginger Hammer: Soilwork - Two Lives Worth of Reckoning Slash - World on Fire Body Count - Talk Shit Get Shot Striker - Former Glory
2318. Luke R.: Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession
2319. GortDiminished: Strength Beyond Strength - Pantera. You won't regret it!
2320. NoMas Cilantro: Finally much needed second chance for Meshuggah. It's time for Lamb of God to get their second chance in. Overlord or 512 would be great songs
2321. Noise Annoys: Wheres that “Sick Of It All” track?
2322. Audard: Soilwork - Spectrum of Eternity.
2323. Blu-Ray Connoisseur: Really anything from Cowboys from Hell or Vulgar Display of Power
2324. Carlos E. Aguirre: Bad choice to start with shuggah
2325. Prasad Krishnan: Linchpin -Fear Factory
2326. Chang Fei Long: Meshuggah is advanced alien metal music from the year 3118
2327. Mason Bose: Either Gojira - Backbone (must watch) or Leprous - From the Flame
2328. Robert Vaccarini: Brojob - Temper Tantrum
2329. Jerzy Chudobinski: Try Mgła (i.e. Exercises in Futility I or V). Probably the best and most melodic black metal band, recently.
2330. Compost Theory: Please react to Misery Signals - A Certain Death, please give it a chance guys, I love your videos!
2331. damian: Savatage.
2332. blackcrayon133: PLEASE REACT TO: Rammstein - Rein Raus
2333. John H: Yo dudes, when you gonna do some Nightwish?
2334. Jacob Toliver: Breaking Benjamin- "Natural Life"
2335. mwoky: DO RATIONAL GAZE PLEASE!
2336. KC_ rocka: some bands wanna be more niche & only wanna be appealing to a certain group of people & don't really mind if some people don't like their music, but there's nothing wrong with that, great reaction
2337. Alberto Romero: Silent Planet!!! Anything from the new album would be amazing to see what you guys think about them 🤘🏻🔥
2338. Dan Jackson: Please do some avatar guys. Basically any song works as they all have their own value but recommendations tent to be hail the apocalypse, Bloody angel and smells like a freak show but something from the new album would be cool. maybe kings harvest or a statue of the king?
2339. The Hand: Thanks for going back to the old one. That was cool seeing how things have changed. Ha!
2340. Brahm Tancredi: Symbolic - Death
2341. Pajama Muncher: The Coma Machine is the best first listen for Between The Buried and Me for sure!
2342. GrantH: Y’all need to react to more of the cheesy 80’s hair metal lol. I recommend Round and Round by Ratt to start off
2343. Octacilio lino neto: Bullet for my valentine
2344. massivejester: "its tuned a little bit low" :D
2345. K L: Meshuggah is great to see live. the drummer is just killer.
2346. An Tran: Dark Tranquility - “Monochromatic Stains”
2347. jjames e: Gojira - Space Time
2348. David Miller: +slovak4life1991 Ok...yeah,complexity isn't their strong point. :)
2349. TheConri: Demi - Urge two seperate syllables.
2350. Robert Elizondo: Yo so I know most people would probably weird out on me and don’t get me twisted I can get Black Dahlia heavy, but check out Deliver is from evil by Bullet for my Valentine, a little something different for ya
2351. Michel Araujo: The Dillinger Escape Plan - 43% Burnt
2352. Borislav Yordanov: +alphaenemy Knowing how they dig transitions and changes in rhythm - "Combustion" will blow their heads off. The entire "Obzen" album is more or less like that, actually, where "Bleed" is sort of the exception, but is THE track of the album, cause it's just a phenomenal song in itself. I would say it's a genius decision to include it exactly in this album. Also, what I think they were trying to say is that "Demiurge" is better to introduce the band with than "Bleed", but "Bleed" is ultimately the better song, which I agree with. Still, people are here cause they want to see the reaction and the shock value of not listening to HEAVY stuff like Meshuggah and being introduced to freakin' "BLEED" is a reaction that everyone in the know will love to see. I would love to see them react to stuff like Samael or Coroner "Grin" (specifically, cause I feel they'll fall in love with it), but I guess those are not that much commercial. Whatever. Keep up the good work @LostInVegas I'm enjoying your channel (well, the heavy part of it at least... plus Rush! Please MORE RUSH!).
2353. K JAM: Meshuggah is talented and play some pretty complex and interesting stuff. "New Milennium Cyanide Christ" is a FUN video to watch, so if you ever go back to Meshuggah, I'd do that track. "Future Breed Machine" is one of their better tracks too. "Bleed" was a late cut from my playlist but those other 2 I mentioned are on my playlist.
2354. drock55551: Combustion by Meshuggah.
2355. Questopher: White Washed - August Burns Red
2356. Billy TheKidder: I thought bros hat said fem. at first glance.
2357. Jay Carmona: Not the most liked band but take a listen to ‘heart of Fire’ by Black Veil Brides they have awesome guitarist
2358. Hamid khan -: MORE METALLICA PLEASE \m/
2359. Eddy Sullivan: Please react to ghost love score by Nightwish. The live version at wakken 2013. It's one of the greatest songs ever written and the vocals will absolutely blow you away!!!! Please!!!
2360. Isaac Morrison: it's funny because I had a really different reaction when I first heard Meshuggah; I was shocked to a degree, but it appealed to me and brought me into more extreme music
2361. Eric B: Trans-Siberion Orchestra - Heavy Rock's answer to Christmas music. I recommend "A Mad Russian's Christmas"
2362. luis ossandon: Gojira - Global Warming live session, you are not gonna regret it guys! Edit: It was a good detail hearing Bleed again, I think you should consider to do the same dynamic everytime you hear a second or third song.
2363. FanaticalDrummer: Back into the extreme realm lol DO SOME NEVERMORE! 😂
2364. Trent Scarborough: omg. You guys are turning into metalheads. \m/
2365. Bruno Mariano da Silva: Hey guys u should react to "New millenium cyanide christ"! Is a genius and polirhytmic song
2366. The Tech Bohemian: Kreator - Coma of Souls Kreator - Violent Revolution
2367. Tristan Ferracane: Yngwie malmsteen- I am a Viking
2368. Carson Grubaugh: We need an August Burns Red - Carol of the Bells reaction for Christmas!
2369. Noah Hamilton: I love metal but I'd like to see some alternative reactions have you guys done sublime yet?
2370. Jen G.: William Edmiston Of Matter for sure.
2371. Worry BX: Anything from "Nothing remastered" I think would be a better choice. That whole album is so groovy Straws pulled at random or rational gaze.
2372. TJ P: PS you guys are probably ready for sleep-dragonaut
2373. Dravensdmf: Metal is like curry. At first you only like the mild stuff like a korma and the hot stuff is way too much. But after a while you ween yourself onto the real hot stuff.
2374. Karl Franks: Still asking for a High on Fire review, or maybe something from Bolt Thrower?
2375. mvunit3: The way I learned it through reading and listening to interviews of the band since 1995 when I got into them (Destroy Erase Improve); they do mostly play in 4/4, but in those particular sigs, its what they do _WITHIN that_ "4/4" is what makes them so awesomely strange and mathematical. Each member, including Jens the vocalist, take turns being a percussive instrument. And Haake at times is the "Lead" on drums! More info and other bands of the like I've written about in these 2 essays (with links and citations) that I hope you guys will enjoy . . . 1. (Part 1 of 2/which is linked on Part 1): https://mavearworx.weebly.com/blog/witnessing-the-birth-of-progressive-metal-part-1-of-2 2. https://mavearworx.weebly.com/blog/in-response (Metal meets Classical and Jazz - under re-construction). \m/
2376. Josue Ignacio: OPETH - The Baying of the Hounds
2377. Reanor: Good review. My problem with Meshuggah is, the vocals are always the same. Which makes it really difficult for me to listen to an complete album or one song more than once. I think they're just to one dimensional with the vocals.
2378. Eric Christman: +guntbox yeah bannons lyrics can be pretty crazy/ complex and not jive with some listeners, never the less the band are innovators, would be cool to see they're take.
2379. Graham Madden: Fair play guys. Personally I can't listen to that Meshuggah shit. Totally devoid of any musical content. Of all the stuff that I listen to, classic rock to black metal, this band is one of the few that make absolutely no sense to me.
2380. Mike Fagan: Future Breed Machine - Meshuggah
2381. Meyzen76: Casualties of Cool - Daddy (Official Live Video) Roll one up for that one!
2382. Jacob Havard: You guys gotta try "my world" by code orange. Or "dreams in inertia". You'd love the instrumentation!
2383. Hos: always strange what comes out if a larger group of people vote in a poll.
2384. Leon Tranter: Amer532 haha so what. Niki Minaj has hundreds of millions of views and likes. It means nothing. I think it’s a crap song, you don’t, so what?
2385. mrich2222 rich: do some breaking benjamin and or Shinedown PLEASE
2386. Prometheus Bloom: I disagree with an artist having to have some appeal. I think that while it IS a box to check, it's also true that it's hard to be appealing and push boundaries. Check out Captain Beefheart, he never, was, and never will be popular, and his music isn't "appealing" at all, but he pushed boundaries and is a huge influence on all avant-garde rock music and so much more!
2387. Devin McDaniel: Vacuity - Gojira please
2388. VietnamD0820: Alex Summers If they do anything off Life Of Agony’s River Runs Red album, that’ll be the highlight of my year
2389. Justin Widle: [Meshuggah Face intensifies]
2390. GrizzleyBear: +taup184 You can pause here and there and be fine. They just skip through.
2391. Mr. HD: Dope but you have to do gojira global warming live in the studio
2392. Anthony Ayala: DO SOMETHING FROM PARQUET COURTS!!! Its some of the most poetic Punkish hard rock of recent, and they seem to have a message yet I can't tell if its Rock n roll nonsense or pure brilliance, if you listen to "total football" and "upcast shadow of a northern myth" you'll know exactly what I mean... they're modern and relevant, but some of the coherence of their lyrics escape me... only you muh fuckas can help... Gracias
2393. Corvin Nicolae: I don't know, maybe "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" is a better starter with Meshuggah ?With that funny video...
2394. Bob Sciascia: You guys will keep coming back to Meshuggah. Their complexity grows on you. That's how it works with them.
2395. Colton McCallister: Devin Townsend - Deadhead live at Royal Albert Hall pleasee
2396. Compost Theory: Please react to Misery Signals - A Certain Death, please give it a chance guys, I love your videos!
2397. Justin White: Hell yes. Ants qould be amazing, so many of there songs take you so many places. I'd love to see a reaction to Silent Flight Parliament too.
2398. Keagan Ferracane: Yngwie Malmsteen?
2399. lucifer lavey: fantastic song
2400. Soy Sauce: Still waiting on that Monuments reaction. Definitely need either I, the Creator or Origin of Escape. It's everything groovy and rhythmically technical you love about Meshuggah and Periphery, but in a less obscure, more palatable manner.
2401. Ugunark: I like Ryan a lot
2402. Ice Kold Killa: How did "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" not make it to the top? I would think groovier Meshuggah songs would lead the poll anyway.
2403. David Miller: I find Bleed more easily listenable. It's my current favorite Meshuggah song, actually. Can I talk you guys into trying some Sleep? Acid Bath? Maybe some Crowbar, or Eyehategod?
2404. Stormy Waters: Guys, I know how much You like groove (same as I do) and that's why let me recommend You some things again: 1) Down - Eyes of the South / Ghosts along the Missisipi, Stone The Crow. Lifer... actually these guys are one big groove xD (also check out their names - I think You might already recognize those guys from their other projects) 2) whole other genre which You havent explored yet and it heavily depends on grooving upon the clouds of weed smoke :P Electric Wizard, Kyuss, Sleep, Dopelord - these ones are just from the top of my head, but there is just sooo many which I want You to get familiar with. I think You would really dig both (1) and (2)! Peace!
2405. Pinecone: Now they need to listen to Infant Annihilator or Rings of Saturn..
2406. mvunit3: Been saying "Amen" to a few comment postings . . . Yet again . . . A M E N. And again, more bands that set the stage for what was to come and create what they wanted, and were _against_ the mainstream and what "fit" into the radio format of the 90's and on: https://mavearworx.weebly.com/blog/category/classical-and-jazz-meets-metal I hope you enjOy \m/.
2407. Warlock97: Djent sucks
2408. Jason Allen: Wow, I'm surprised you guys dared to do another Meshuggah song, they are easily one of the most brutally heaviest bands out there. Love it, give a few other bands a 2nd chance, Death & Sepultura need more love, also PLEASE DO A FEAR FACTORY SONG, you won't regret it.
2409. Calvin Abbasi: Hell yeah. Fantastic reaction and super glad y’all revisited Bleed.
2410. Jesus Christ: Yes!
2411. TPike777: A7X SAVE MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2412. Kipetru: planet x - alien hip hop thumbs up
2413. Ras Ali: Please react to Sunflower by Post Malone and Swae Lee
2414. Господин Борщевицкий: Check out The tony danza tapdance extravaganza
2415. Lauchie Maddaleni: Black Sabbath - N.I.B
2416. Peg E: Ew
2417. Syco G.: What about a juice harp? Or would it be a djent harp? Lol!
2418. Heilig Drachen: Dang. I love Demiurge so much... But they would totally love Do Not Look Down.. Hands down THE GROOVIEST song meshuggah has.
2419. Caio Baker: Volumes-wormholes Please!!!!
2420. Matt Booth: Oh god, haven't played the video yet, but you guys aren't going to be into this. I'll come back and edit if I'm wrong. EDIT: Shitttt I'm halfway through and probably wrong. Excellent!
2421. Frost Pat: It would be cool if you guys played some of your favorite stuff and discussed it as well.
2422. Dan Gibbes: Nails - Wide Open Wound and you’re welcome for your new gym PRs
2423. The Real Squageye: This is the very song that made me take the leap into buying their whole discography after many failed attempts at getting into them.. such a great heavy groove on this song, was a great selling point for me
2424. Wraithlord: Portal. Impetuous Ritual. Better bands.
2425. Drum Guy: Good song, but rational gaze is their best song ever.
2426. William Edmiston: Tesseract - Acceptance or Nascent or Of Matter (Live in Studio)
2427. Simon Hombert: Remembrance by Gojira ! You should react to the live version, the end is quite surprising !
2428. Luis S.: I have a feeling they would like the song "Combustion".
2429. CloneCommando501st: Yes please
2430. cyberdan42: Ultimately I'm with you two Meshuggah, while I respect them and enjoy some of their music has never totally drawn me in the way Gojira, Wintersun and others have. I'd love a reaction to Wintersun - Time (rehearsal version), Sons of winter and stars (rehearsal version), Loneliness (Winter) or The Forest that Weeps (Summer) would be the prime list I suggest.
2431. Jason X: Metallica- The Outlaw Torn
2432. Richard Abram: +MasterJebbly Trust Lost in Vegas, Cemetary gates is panteras level, like master of puppets is for metallica. It is an incredible song. But if you want some hardcore but riveting metallica song, then go dyers eve.
2433. joe smith: Messhugah is highly overrated. The heaviest music you can take a long nap to. The vocals don't allow the band to go anywhere but to sleep. Droning, droning, droning, droning, droning. The drummer is killer though
2434. Samuel Boulle: System of a down - Forest !!
2435. Cyril Ruegsegger: Dillinger Escape Plan - Farewell Mona Lisa
2436. Jersh84: First off, I want to say that I love watching you guys! It's a lot of fun!! Secondly, I think it's very important that you guys know, that when you watched the video for Bleed, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE WHOLE SONG!! I don't know why they did it like that, but they completely cut out a really nice groove that takes a break from the monotony of the rest of the song AND has an awesome solo over it (my favorite part of the song). So please, in your spare time, check it out!! Another thing I wanted to point out is that Meshuggah IS repetitive, but on purpose. They have plenty of dynamic and diverse songs with all kinds of different grooves that you could get into. As much as I love Demiurge, I don't think that that should've been the next song for you guys. Check out Lethargica, Obzen, Dancers to a discordant system, nebulous, and clockworks, and Break those bones whose sinews gave it motion. Also, I put my dad on you guys and he really likes your videos too. He likes a little more of the old school stuff. He liked your video of Hurt by Johnny Cash and the one you did by the Doors and some others. So he asked me to ask you guys if you would please please review Return of the Giant Hogweed by Genesis. It will never get requested so theres no way I can win by number of requests. It would mean a lot to him and me! Thanks guys, and take care!!
2437. Jason Pope: Right! I don't know why everyone keeps making these choices
2438. Jethro Tool: David Mathes I think that’s kinda the point. The repetitiveness can put you into a trance, which metal usually doesn’t do
2439. Timothy Brice: YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!! YES - ROUNDABOUT!!!
2440. 1SecondToLight: Monuments - Leviathan
2441. Alex Kulp: hahaha, too good
2442. wvusmc: Power Trip is one of the better bands out there right now.
2443. yeti: Now is the perfect time to re-visit Amon Amarth.,,,,but pick Twilight of the Thunder God.
2444. Pitchfork Studios: Simplest Meshuggah song to understand. Good choice as a first one.
2445. Catter Peener: YES FINALLY THEY HAVE MESHUGAH ANOTHER CHANCE. Thank you :D
2446. dilbophagginz: Damn, MonstroCity is such an underrated Meshuggah song.
2447. GenMVeers: 0:48 *'demiurge'* (Received Pronunciation) International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): /ˈdɛ.mɪ.əːdʒ/, *or* /ˈdiː-/ ; (General American Pronunciation) IPA: /ˈdɛ.miˌɚdʒ/ *[* /ɛ/ example: "egg" /ɛɡ/ *;* /ə/ example: "about" /əˈbaʊt/ ( ː in /ˈdɛ.mɪ.əːdʒ/ is the length symbol) *;* /ɚ/ example: "winner" /ˈwɪnɚ/ (US pronounciation) *;* /dʒ/ example: "joy" /dʒɔɪ/ *]* – *Noun* *1)* (Platonic philosophy) The (usually benevolent) being that created the universe out of primal matter. *2)* (Gnosticism) A (usually jealous or outright malevolent) being who is inferior to the supreme being, and sometimes seen as the creator of evil. *3)* (figuratively) Something (such as an idea, individual or institution) conceived as an autonomous creative force or decisive power. *4)* (historical, Ancient Greece) The title of a magistrate in a number of states of Ancient Greece, and in the city states (poleis) of the Achaean League. *Phew!*
2448. Wayne Taylor: Totally disagree on the universal appeal thing. Meshuggah write what they want. They created a whole subgenre. They appeal to so many people without having that universal appeal. If they start incorporating that kind of thing then they cease to be what they are. If you want a band that sounds like this with so called universal appeal, there are plenty out there.
2449. MartinSynan: Loved this video, was hoping and waiting for you to return to Meshuggah, and this was the song I was really hoping would be the one you chose to react to. I think the thing about Meshuggah that is most appealing is how trance-inducing their music can be, you mentioned it a little in the video, there was a certain section where the rhythm just lures listeners into a head-nodding trance. I also think Bleed is the best example of that, it's basically just one long headbang to the same rhythm for the majority of the song. As you know, I always leave a comment when I've watched, and again.... I ASK FOR THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN
2450. Lilla Sked: purrtapurrrtapurrtapurrta tsss tsssst ssst tsss tsss purrta purrta purrta
2451. Branden Montgomery: Well shit. Now I'm going to have listen to more Meshuggah because that was dope.
2452. Tony: "Demi" "urge" is how it's pronounced
2453. Matt Kettmann: You guys NEED some Extol! Give Betrayal a shot.
2454. Ian Snieckus: I really want to see what you guys think of Polyphia, they're a prog metal/math rock band but have a kind of trap inspired beat. Check out G.O.A.T. or OD!
2455. OneSekCBeast: Blood Junkie 🤷‍♂️
2456. Jim M: James Dean  completely agree with you regarding Meshuggah, too. They've already changed--evolved, really--a lot since "Contradictions Collapse" and the "Destroy, Erase, Improve" and "Self Caged" era. Even "Chaosphere" is pretty different from what Meshuggah have become. Even though I didn't really care for "Violent Sleep of Reason," it was solid, and I think they're going to keep putting out quality stuff until they retire--they are getting old, Fredrik Thordendal is nearly 50 yrs old at this point...
2457. Dave Starr: Ok LMAO at the door stopper
2458. Kyle Parks: +Billy Pappas Same my dude.
2459. That Guy 1981: Lamb of God....again!
2460. venrakdrake: Ozzy - Mr. Crowley!!!
2461. Pratik Jawahar: Hey! You guys gotta start doing some periphery!! It's super technical new age metal and they have really hysterical music videos too! Do Scarlet/marigold by periphery. The technicality in their riffs is unparalleled
2462. Neil Murray: My buddy and I saw them live a few years ago and they played this song. My buddy was head banging so hard to this song that he fucked up his equilibrium for about 45 minutes afterwards, ha ha!
2463. mvunit3: Destroy Erase Improve . . . Back in 1995, when I heard the 1st 2 minutes of the album (and Meshuggah for the 1st time, not knowing anything about them), was astounded and blown away. Been a fan ever since. And I'm 55 now :D.
2464. Mic Zen: I'm glad you finally did Meshuggah again! Great reaction and you made very good points. You should listen to their album Catch 33. It's basicly one 45 minutes long song of crazy heavy stuff. It feels like a decent into madness. You can hear the influence of Meshuggah in alot of bands in different metal genres but still no band sound simillar to them. They just have this unique style.
2465. Matthew Kilmartin: Best reaction videos ever. Love the honesty and explanations behind it all.
2466. napalmfred: C'mon, guys! I'm loving these vids, but when are you gonna do Carcass - Heartwork!?!?!?!
2467. BuzzaB77: "do not look down" is the grooviest track on this album. If you ever come back to Meshuggah check it.
2468. drowssapma: FYI guys...a lot of bands play for themselves. If others want to go along for the ride, that's fine, but it's not a box to check.
2469. Animal Will Opus: Meshuggah-New Millenium Cyanide Christ(music video) Meshuggah-Future Breed Machine
2470. Anthony Armstrong: This is the best representation of the crossover to liking Djent. You go back and listen and all the sudden...it starts to click
2471. Gary Lochhead: Hey Ryan and George! I'm from Canada and I would like you to have a listen too Threat Signal - Lost .. Intandem - Adaptation.. Heavens Fire - Believe. Thanks!
2472. Mike McDonald: Damn wish you would of picked “I Am Colosus” but still a good choice
2473. Dimitris Karavoulias: I watched your videos for quite some time and you always say you want to do a reaction to symphonic metal. Fuuny think is that metal and classical music have many in common, and go hand to hand from the beging. But few bands made that abundly clear. Dimmu Borgir is the band that put a steping stone for great orchestical songs and Nightwish, with great operatic vocals. Check these live concerts and be amazed. Dimmu Borgir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMsbJYGig0g King of the carnival creation Nightwish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYjIlHWBAVo
2474. Robbie Bowman: Pretty heavy stuff. Not bad. Hey give the talking heads stop making sense album/concert a shot when u get a chance.
2475. Teodor Voicu: This channel just keeps getting better
2476. NLBoots: Metal is like the scotch of music. You usually don't dive in and be a aficionado straight away. You probably try and appreciate beer first, then work up to rum or wine and so on. Watering down an extreme genre such as this won't do anybody an good except for casual listeners and that's what pop music is for. Please don't equate popularity or accessibility with something "better". Take care :)
2477. Will Pestka: Mine is very similar, but the revisiting happened like a month after.
2478. Stomper75: Its a 7 string guitar tuned to drop B
