To call them humble would be a vast understatement. Two of our greatest drummers in one room and they're acting like one of their mum's is gonna come in and tell them to get ready for bed.

I still cant forget that insane Morgan Ågren's performance with Fredrik from Meshuggah. Never heard anything like this. Insanly talented drummer.

I am plainly happy to see these guys talking, that is all

To all the professors that try to decypher and institutionalize Meshuggah's music: it's just plain old communication and training between 5 dudes that love technical and brutal stuff. One tells the other to try something out and the other will learn it until they get it right just like the other one imagined it. It's interesting that all of them love to communicate composition for any type of instrument vocally. xD I realized this over the years, when ever they communicated ideas in an interview or casual recording they started to use rhythmic, non-verbal vocals. :D

God, it drives me crazy how humble they always are. And I know that they are just being honest, and it makes me even madder. We know this stuff seems "normal" to you, but there is not a single metal band on earth that even comes close to Meshuggah in terms of complexity and virtuosity, while still being groovy and melodically pleasing. You're not "professors" Tomas, you're "gods". You might not necessarily be calculating everything, but what you put out is genius, and that's what matters.

Haake: "Yeah I've heard soo many weird things about us and the band; we're 'professors' (of instruments), I mean c'mon..." Hehe. They just think on another level. Isn't it amazing that people have written dissertations on their music though, all fascinating to me to read (and vids). While many others find them "boring" - Meshuggah's music is definitely not for everyone, even for metalheads. But I like that, we fans tend to listen closer to those that are different, and I get why people write about them and analyze their music, its soo much more than just listening a few times or chocking them up to just a djent or groove metal band.
