Thank you

Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪

You're a real one bro

Tus tak

What a fucking set list

Amazing catch

one of the heaviest things i've ever seen

holy shit

Holy shit can’t believe you caught that

15:14 he does also at here

Meshuggah created time...

@@colins7771 Meshuggah is what time.gov uses to stay on track

Ahead. I think they still are.

For some reason I'm scared of Jens Kidman

@@vinodkumaraug I'm only scared of Michael Gira 😂 early Swans were ahead of their time too and heavy af

That's exactly how is discovered them. Edit: actually 8 days after this was filmed.

They were fairly well known at this time but definitely not at the elevated level they are now at. I went to this very show for the purpose of seeing them primarily. They signed autographs afterward, I still have my cd of Nothing signed by Thomas, Fredrick, and Jens. Talked with them for a minute or so and they were cool dudes.

your comment made me laugh out loud

I was standing behind Tomas.. too many people, the stage fright is STRONG in this chick 🤦‍♀️ The only thing that sucks, I wasn't even remotely familiar, nor ready, for what I was right in the middle of 😳 and that's ONSTAGE! Sadly, to me it sounded like... ... well, noise 🤷‍♀️ so incredibly complex and off time, but perfectly timed. It took forever, years, to try and air drum and I STILL screw up air drumming! He could explain it repeatedly and it still wouldn't quite click. Tomas, I adore you, you're a dear friend, but brother, you are not from this planet. I mean that in the most complimentary way possible, but... you still blow my mind, Fredrik too, STILL, 20 years later. Miss you guys 🖤 give Jens our love

I had been a fan since mid 90s and finally saw them at ozzfest 2002. The energy they give live is unmatched. They command and control. That whole fucking second stage was moving. It’s an amazing band to see live.

Seen that in so many live videos including their own DVDs. It's cool and odd. Not many singers do this to my knowledge.

@@IceKoldKilla It's fucking meshuggah afterall lol

Ever since Jens lost his hair he needed to find a way to keep time without headbanging/moving much. Probably helps him focus too

the craziest thing about Future Breed Machine is that Tomas plays all the kicks in the 2nd riff after the intro riff with one foot, while keeping time with the hihat. Makes sense why they have been playing FBM at a slower tempo live for some years now...

Agreed.

double agree

Damn fucken right it is

"These men have a heat sink problem. There's sweat stains at the outset already. We should've insisted on shirtlessness for everyone onstage but goddam it who in their right mind would insist on such a thing!"

​@@thwiftlythwept7023Me

@abdunasar5551 i already knew them, my friend had given me the chaosphere cd a few years before, and i probably had downloaded the rest of their discography that existed at the time!

Yeah now with the otherworldly light show. Fuckin legends

you mean ... Kolossal.. 😎

@@ArtGuitarLTX ha ah 🤣🤘

Speaking of the heat, Mårten had to be sweating his ass off wearing that huge jersey lol

That’s gotta be their most underrated album

you mean you never looked down right? lol

​@@BedroomripsREAL

...as do I. Thank you.

kidman

Awesome man!

I'm sure he did hate this! Since punk people have groove and like their music to sound like shit!

That's great

@@PallahDaOracle loool yep...he hated anything I liked. He had that punk "no mainstream attitude BUT years later I found out he was into TOOL and Deftones 🤣🤣

Ha! That's practically my story in 1995 . . . Friend at work at a Video Game Studio, we used to go to "Lou's Records" in Encinitas Calif.. But he came back from lunch (he was a Industrial Metal fan) and came-up to me and said; "This isn't really my thing (Destroy Erase Improve in his hand), but if you don't like it, I'll take it back and get something else", It took 2 minutes of "Future Breed Machine" and I was done . . . . I became a Meshuggahner for life. DEI is still my fave album, and Fredriks "Special Defects" album is almost equally awesome \m/.

Lame

I wouldn't call headbanging in 4/4 a math equation tho

I understood your comment 😂. I agree! Hard to workout to this as i am constantly thinking of the meter changes and riffs 😂.

@@Vb98765 lighten up

😂

No they fit right in,you gotta think Ozfest us where most of the bands you probably listen got their first exposure to the real tour scene,you can thank Jack Osbourne for it,he helped bring ALOT of bands into the light, using stage 2 at The Fest(there's two sometimes 3 can stages if you've never been) . ANYONE who has ever been to Ozfest knows stage 2 is where it's at,that's where you got turned on to the new shit,the shit you'd turn your friends on to. FLAW,KITTIE,PITCH SHIFTER, the deadlights (killer band) SLIPKNOT, Otep all played stage 2,you shoulda been at Ozfest 2003 I think it was when Slipknot did their first fest,they where nuts, out in full masks and suits in 100 degree weather ( here in Pittsburgh) ,clown beating his head off the kegs ,that was something outta this world to see for the first time. I could go on all day with awesome stuff I've seen,I went to EVERY OZFEST from 1996 all the way till the last full tour in 2015or 16 I think it was. Their all one big party in my head now,lol

@@aarondavis4341 my high school graduation present was getting to go to Ozzfest summer 2003. Drove down to Dallas for the show. Me and two buddies. Got to see Killswitch Engage, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Chevelle, Cradle of Filth, Shadows Fall and Nothingface. I also went to Warped Tour several times. I liked Warped Tour more because it was more cost friendly lol. Ozzfest was expensive, bit also very cool because I for to see some legends like Sabbath and Slayer at the 2004 date.

@@creekandseminole expensive it was 5$ for a cup of nacho cheese is outrageous,lol It would be a right of passage for me every year to eat a bunch of acid,and trip my nuts off,now's it's all like one big concert,I met SOOO MANY artists,I met Jamey from Hatebreed found out his oldest daughter and my oldest daughter have the same name (Madison and their bdays are a day apart March 29th and 30th,did shots Jagr of with Dave Williams from Drowning pool. ...those where the days man,kids just don't know they really don't🤘

Consural pretty much 😀🤘🏻

I saw them at Ozzfest in 2003. Had no idea who they were and they blew my fucking mind. I was like 15 and I had never heard anything like that before. I immediately came home and looked for more of their music.

Actually even better, every song on the setlist is from 1991, 1995, 1997, and 1998 ;) (Mostly 1995 ;))

Bone Zone Jones 95 set list was even crazier 🤘🏽🤘🏽

@rasánudbA Is that to say that they all came too early, birth-wise? Quite a coincidence if it's so, but I buy it.

@@hastobe303 Its not that they came early, world just was not ready for the music !!

They said the same of allan holdsworth in 70s who they took a lot of infuence from.

Hahah this makes me laugh in a good way because it’s true!

Is that not Biohazards frontman?

That's Otep's bass player.

Lol i like how he tiptoes out as if anyone could possibly hear him coming.

None EP is underrated

*Mc Ride does the Jens pose

mc ride must've picked some influence from jens, I mean their stage presence is so similar

@@YoLpIsBest they're also both bald and yell a lot

They were eight strings, those swedish prototypes that they used on Nothing, but all the songs in this set is seven-strings only. I guess they didn't have time to rehearse the Nothing-material since they were rushing to get on this tour as they were not that big yet.

@@Alexander_Tronstad the nevborn 8s had tuning and intonation issues so they used their nevborn 7s downtuned to F. They rarely used the nevborn 8s but for a couple of shows. Even the nothing album was recorded on downtuned ibanez 7s. Apparently the nevborn 8 bridge was super shitty and uncomfortable, just straight up unreliable.

I believe I read somewhere that they mixed Nothing in a matter of days to go on this tour?

Nevborn 8 strings !

@BiRDiEMusic actually Dino from Fear factory was going down to drop G and F around 98 on a 7 string for a couple B side songs but he was the only one. What's even crazier is meshuggahs nevborn 7s were 26.5 scale and held that tuning pretty decently. I actually own a Nevborn also. I love it.

me too, 2003 in Virginia

@@Sturmbro629 UMASS Amherst must have been the same tour.

Saw them open up for Tool in Oklahoma City 2002. That entire show is here on RU-vid. One of the best Tool live bootlegs ever.

I can’t blame him. The groove of that intro riff on “Sickening” is top-tier.

Lol I’m pretty sure Jens caused a drought when they toured the US that year

Just bought a nevborn. Supposedly previously owned by Fredrik which is a good possibility because there are only a few nevborns out there. Its the greatest guitar I've ever played.

Did you succeed in turning any of your friends to them ?

But always ahead of their time

2002?

Yep

Gustaf was still in the band at the time and nothing had just come out I think but they hadn’t worked any of those songs into their live set yet

Not many are successful, Meshuggah are fucking masters.

what a load'a shit...back then, NO ONE could do it...Dillinger; wtf?! retarded...

I went to that same tour. They came to Oklahoma City and a tornado had just blown through town and maybe 30 showed up to the gig. It was still awesome though.

@Samneric Timneric Maybe because their 8 string guitars weren't built yet. I remember they recorded most, if not all, of Nothing with 7 strings guitars and needed constant retuning. This may have been one reason.

That's the Meshuggah Paradox. Nothing from Nothing

8 strings wernt ready yet..and when they were they had intonation and tuning problems as well

I imagine they record songs before they rehearse them together as a band,

Hah yea it coulda been 100° that day, Jens taking care of his people hahaha

At least he took advantage while he could...as another hair-thinning man, I know...
