For "What a concert is like", check Bill Burrs bit on Meshuggah. He describes it rather well. The way I would describe it is pure energy. And knowing the themes of all the songs so you know where the music comes from adds even more to the experience. Bleed for one is about the experience of having an Aneurism. The droning drums and bass, the distorted vocals, it all fits really well.

A Meshuggah concert is like getting mugged by Santa Clause and then being left for dead in madagascar only to be saved by an angel who was expelled from heaven for j-walking. It is pure energy and pure rage and it's best if you are super messed up to get through the entire thing. Big tip for all of these gigs... don't go home after if you have been arguing with the Mrs beforehand or you might catch a case. A concert is more like a battle than a musical event you want to be at but in that it is every bit METAL and makes Baby MEtal look like a Japan style kids show.

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

Metalheads and generally extreme music fans are one of the chillest communities there is. Every concert ive been to, 95% of the people are kind, calm and open minded, inclusive and comprehensive. When you go to a concert, I'd say most of the hall is standing with a beer in their hand, looking at the stage and softly keeping the tempo with their head or foot. And then there's the pit or pits, where people run and jump on each other, pushing and what not letting everything go while listening to the music. Even there, if you fall you will get helped back up by everyone around you. It's a wonderful experience to be in the midst of complete strangers enjoying the same thing and letting themselves go collectively. I remember once I was jumping and i naturally put my hand on this random guy's shoulder, and once he noticed he put his own hand onto his shoulder too so we could jump together. I didn't even see his face, but you get the general feeling of going to a metal concert. Also the bands are very chill and you can often see the members hanging around in the bars of the place and often interacting with fans outside the stage. If you've never been to a metal concert, go for it.

It's the same with Meshuggah. 1998-1999 I listened to "Chaosphere" for a year, only that one album and nothing else!!! The album that changed my life. I was the same redneck and everything. Today, the same people listen to Meshuggah, the last two albums, which I personally don't like... The same thing that happened with Metallica is happening again.

Ok, I’ve paused since you asked. Seeing this band live is mesmerizing. When I saw them last year, people didn’t mosh. They didn’t jump. They literally stood there in a trance-like awe. Being a musician, I went there to sit back and watch. The light show is flawlessly synced up to all their crazy riffage/kick patterns/time signatures, which is visually stunning! Everything is performed PERFECTLY. It’s genuinely unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The band members don’t run around the stage or get crazy, they literally stand there, backlit, like otherworldly beings - and it didn’t bother me one bit. It was a very complementary aesthetic. The beautiful thing this band accomplishes is making both guitars, the bass and drums sound like one instrument. It’s truly captivating. I wasn’t a fan before seeing them live - I just knew, and had heard, it was something I needed to experience. I bought an album a couple weeks before the show to be able to familiarize myself with their newer songs and digest them. But sitting there and watching these guys do what they did... I was dumbfounded. The physical reaction I had from sitting at the back of The Filmore New Orleans and letting the experience wash over me was euphoric. Both myself and the guy I went with, who was a long-time fan, commented on how different we felt compared to other shows we’ve been to. It was like being high. The entire production of their live show was exquisite.

Meshuggah's darkest secret is that most of their songs are 4/4, they're just hiding "1" in the middle a phrase!

I was at a concert and the mosh pit was insane. I was in a circle of dudes, arms wrapped around each other, headbanging. It was a beautiful bro moment and my favorite mosh pit I've been in. A complete blast!

Honestly, "metalheads" (I don't know a single one who doesn't listen to a wide variety of music genres, some of the best metal musicians I know are rather appreciative of pop music actually) are some of the most caring and down to earth people you'd ever meet. I think the music originates in pure emotion, and big emotions tend to come from people who have a high level of empathy and emotional intelligence.

It’s impossible to mosh to Meshuggah. You just stand there transfixed letting the sound wash over you. Extremely musical, highly cerebral, totally original. Your face was an absolute picture while you were watching this. Fantastic.

I am truly astounded by his playing in a live show like this. It's absolutely flawless, like he was goddamn hardwired to play this song. This man is better than a machine. He's in a fucking transcendental trance, playing like this.

This is a song that describes and emulates the sense of having an aneurism, hence the name Bleed. It's effectively a Public Health Service Announcement.

I have seen Bleed played live only once in my life. It is a moment that will be engrained in my memory forever. the vocals, bass, guitar and the drums all playing in perfect harmony. the smoke covering the crowd. the moshpit in front of me. the bodies crowdsurfing. I remember it all so vividly. at one point I swear I saw the ground shaking

I’ll say this is a concert for geeks mostly, not there just for the concert it self, but for appreciate the musicianship. Meshuggah is not the average headbanging band.The light show is mindblowing must say.

The best and most respectful pit!! it’s lots of older peeps that know what’s up and care for each other. And their production quality is some of the best I’ve ever heard in a concert it is the most amazing experience my favorite shows ever.

When you see Meshuggah live you realize that you're experiencing something you won't be able to communicate. It's so perfect, so intense, the polyrhythms hit you in ways you never could predict. They're in sync like an Austrian string quartet, and they're raw like you wouldn't believe. They're musician's musicians.

Thanks so much for comments guys. Love your passion! Loads more videos on the way!

Had been listening to Meshuggah for years prior to seeing them, and they blew away my expectations. As a big Tool fan at the time I was pissed because I thought Meshuggah as their opener seemed weird at the time...like Meshuggah should have been the headlining act. They are an unstoppable force.

I always tell fellow musicians to go see Meshuggah live once in their lifetime, because there is (and probably never will be) nothing like Meshuggah. They play like machines, and sound like the most perfectly mixed album you could ever wish for. A life changing experience for a musician.

It’s nice to see an expert in drumming having nothing to say about an artist in their field. Says a lot about the performance

When a polyrhythm is looping it has a different voice every phrase (down beats may be up beats) and I feel when it's LIVE you can hear their intent better. Proper show live, can hear the depth of the guitars better, no distractions from the art. Best show I've ever been to by far.

The metal genre is the only music genre ever invented that encompasses the whole spectrum of human emotions in all it`s known colors. The deepest dark to the brightest white. And you will occasionally find some meatheads in the pit, but we will defend them against anyone who thinks less of them,... because they are our meatheads. Generally you will find we are well informed and kind.

Well, one can say the same for progressive rock (From ELP, Yes and Gentle Giant to Island, Magma, Universe zero and the list goes on), classical music as well and also post rock and Jazz fusion. There are open minded musicians that dares to push them selves to the limits creatively abroad many genres. Also few artists have bee in so many places creatively speaking as John Coltrane, which made music so complex that Meshuggas music seem like child-play in comparison but its also because of it a very difficult and for many an unpleasant listen

Metal is beyond amazing. The musicians are just on another musical planet. Good prog bands too.

You hit the nail of the head really. I haven't really been as much into metal for the last 10 years as I was in my teens, but in my experience, metal heads are some of the kindest and most respectful people I know. Of course, there is always the odd one out, but that is also the case for any other genre fanatics.

I've been lucky enough to see Meshuggah twice. A Meshuggah concert is like witnessing a sonic engine of impossible immensity. It recent years the lights has become more of an integral part of their shows. Mesmerising, and lyrically spot-on. Tomas, Jens, Marten, Dick, Fredrik and (more recently) Per are awesome. I can't imagine a world without Meshuggah.

As a regular Meshuggah fan - this band feels like controlled chaos, and once you "feel" the rhytm and the song it's captivating, hypnotizing. And sure as hell it's brutal. I don't think several comments will give justice for overall picture of metalheads but this "evilness" gives also some sense of relief, insane amount of passion. I don't know how to put it better in words on philosophical side but in general metal acknowledges both the good & the evil and it makes me feel closer to "truth" whatever it might be.

I love metal I’ve just never been able to get into this band. I like Death, Opeth, Cynic, some Morbid Angel, Megadeth, etc but a song like this just sounds so monotonous and grey that it’s boring to me to listen to even though I admire the musicianship greatly. There’s something about the machine feel to it that just kills my enjoyment of it and feels like it drags. The musicians are incredible though.

Metal folk are the best. I am in my 60s and I’ve been to concerts with people decades younger than I. Always respectful. After all, everyone is there for the same reason. Let’s all hope that we can do it again one day.

Its super intense to see them live. The lore behind the band is tecno horror mixed with actual hopeful transcendentalism. There arent many Meshugah fans in normal life. So a show is a meeting of a very specific type of person and the camaraderie is tangible. These are smart people who listen closely to music. The atmosphere is thick, the spirit pressure is heavy. These are scifi psychedelic warrior poets. And the pit is mean... But generous. A proving ground for vikings battling the dark force of soulless technological hierarchy.

The gigs are, in a word.....loud but amazing show you get guys moshing but yeah its awesome, having been to both metal shows and raves. Metal shows have a much better atmosphere and everyone is nice

Every metal concert I have been at was incredibly chill. If you don’t want to take part in the mosh pit, you stay out of it and enjoy the show. In the mosh pit, you might get tossed about and end up with bumps and bruises, yes - but as soon as you go down, there will always be at least two or three random guys picking you up and pulling you back on your feet. And on the off chance that you are injured, people will get you out of there and shield you. Nobody is left behind. In the pit, everyone is equal and everyone looks out for everyone else, while the „uninitiated“ might get the impression that everyone is keen on smashing someone else’s face in. But there are some unwritten iron rules that everyone follows. Among those are „no kicks, no punches, no windmilling“ and „you see someone fall, you help them up“. Whoever decides to be a douchebag, usually does not last very long in the pit. Most adorable scene ever: at a concert, one guy lost his wedding band in the pit. He let out a panicked scream when he noticed it in between two songs. Singer got wind of it and asked what was wrong. After hearing „lost wedding band“, he was like „Oh shit...hey, let’s see if we can help this guy out!“ All of a sudden, torches and lighters came out of pockets, and ppl started rummaging through the dust. Within maybe a minute, someone yelled „HEY DUDE! Is this yours?“ Seconds later, there was an overjoyous „YES!“ and the entire crowd cheered. Concert went on after that with no further incidents. This is what can happen at a metal concert. Friend of mine used to work for a company who did security for concerts and festivals. He said that given the choice, he would always prefer metal events over anything else, because those are the most peaceful gigs you can get.

They nearly didn't get bleed on the ObZen record but he managed to learn the polyrhytm tecnique in time and thank the Almigthy for that 'cause the drumplaying is just out of this world.

Meshuggah live is a lot of people trying to move their heads but failing to grasp the beat miserably. That, and the absolute best light show you will ever see. He knows every part of every song as much as the musicians themselves.

I’ve been a metal head for over 20. The pits are intense but there is tons of love. Everyone is letting out all their pent up aggression from everyday life together but not on each other. Anyone that trips or falls down, there the crowd immediately opens a space around the person and picks them back up. Metal pits are therapy for most in it

I was at a meshuggah concert about a month ago, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. The music was great and the fans were really respectful. I fell over in the moshpit and almost immediately I was helped back on my feet.

Meshuggah is one of those rare bands that are super heavy and technical - they do a great job of getting everyone into the pit. And then the drummers just stand there and watch Tomas, agape.

Seeing Meshuggah live was surreal. At one point I realized there wasn't a single pit going,which at first left me confused. Like how could you not move to this? Then I looked around and saw that almost everyone was doing what I was doing,just watching and moving their head to the groove of each song. It was as if we were mesmerized in unison,it was quite a beautiful sight. No secret that they are just phenomenal live.
