Meshuggah - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? 

When he was born, the doctor told his parents: 'congratulations, it's a metronome!'

Can you get Haake behind the hello kitty kit?

"Wikipedia says your father is Zeus." Thomas: Yup.

Such a chill dude. Kinda like a Big Lebowski of metal.

TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA TRRTA

-Is drummer for a ridiculously brutal band -like the nicest guy

He speaks better english than many actual english-speaking people.

*Two band members lose fingers within months of eachother* "That was a bad year..."

He acts like he's not a robot but I'm not buying it.

he looks like a skyrim nord, its fuckin awesome

How can this fucker play so crazy tight with injuries like that. Holy fuck he's awesome, one of my favourite drummers for sure.

Unfortunately, the disappointing lack of lies caused Tomas to Suffer in Truth.

Only Meshuggah can lose fingers and still do what they do to their instruments on a regular basis.

Haakes first words when entering the rehearsal room on his first day with Meshuggah: "I am a cybernetic drum machine, living tissue over metal endoskeleton"

Meshuggah doesn't write concept albums - except for the one that deals with paradoxes...I don't see a problem with that ^^

haake's english sounds amazing

One of the unluckiest bands in the world. All the health issues and still putting out amazing music after all these decades. Sheer grit!

Tomas says as much "yeah" as James Hetfiled in his songs.

Has a disability in his right foot - plays like a God. Amazing. I've seen him live twice. Both flawless performances.

can we just have a daily show with Tomas Haake?

tomas is in so many interviews and features right now that i'm pretty sure he's omnipresent

Graham is such a nice interviewer, very respectful and hospitable. Good job man!

Meshuggah says periphery coined the term, periphery says meshuggah...

INSTANT CLICK

what a polite and eloquent djent battlemage he is

Thomas Gandalf

For being arguably one of the best metal drummers ever...he is so cool and humble

He looks like an old knight who renounced violence and teaches the main character how to be an honorable warrior

Meshuggah are modern day Beethovens and mozarts. In 1000 years if people remember a metal band for technical skill and writing it will be meshuggah.

He sounds American.

THEY DIDN'T COIN THE TERM DJENT? My life is a lie

Little did you know that Tomas Haake actually is the father of every metronome on Earth.

He has the use of his legs... even after Bleed... man he's amazing

It's because of Meshuggah we had Doom 2016 and eternal OST

I Compare his kick drumming to the sound of a tricked out Harley-Davidson idling at a stoplight before a drag race.

I think its amazing how this guy looks old and young at the same time...

0:11 just look at his legs, he is drumming even when he is not drumming. God of drumming

He's so humble because he knows he's a god

This band was ahead of its time wayyyyyy ahead. This mans sense of time is amazing!

He looks like some spiritual teacher.

Get Abbath or Ihsahn on this shit !

I had no idea that Friedrich had his middle finger Iommi'd. It proves you can accomplish more than you think....it's just how bad you want it. Talent plays a part too, obviously. And luck.

This guy is such a good drummer

Interesting. I always thought their drummer was a cyborg.

He injured his hand in a Grindr accident......let that sink in.

This is the first interview I've ever seen with Tomas, the first time I've heard him speak, and it's amazing to me how little of an accent he has. Very interesting.

I didn't know Meshugga had all that adversity! Amazing they overcame it.

I hope im not the only one expecting a meshuggah wikipedia: fiction or fiction episode.

He looks like such a dad. I mean he is one but he looks like the daddiest dad in the whole world of dads. This is amazing. Love it. He looks like the kind of dad who does a huge lot of work around the house and builds garden sheds from scratch and then there's even a little outhouse next to the shed and he's a self-sustenance farmer in his free time and plays the double bass in a country band but actually he's making the meanest music this side of Merzbow, it's fucking awesome, I love this so much.

The ear vertigo is called "vascular vertigo", usually caused by some sort of an infection. The infection disrupts the signals that the balance organ (idk the name) sends to your brain. Moving your head from left to right or up and down (either one or the other, but it can change over time) will give you the sensation of falling over backwards, while making you very dizzy and nausous. You will lose your balance and you fall, hard, as the dizziness is so severe you're unable to break your fall. It's almost like passing out for a split second, signal lost, going through a tunnel can't hear ya kggkggkgg. Last but not least, the nausea is so severe you will vomit, everytiem. Just in case anyone wondered/cares. If you get this call for an ambulance asap. AMA.

Top of the food chain. Absolute BEAST. Also can be said for the whole band.

Ngl if obzen wasn’t as hardcore as it is he probably wouldn’t have gotten a hernia

Haake is a beast behind the kit. And seems like a gentleman, too. What a phenomenal drummer and band!

Please do one of these with Jon Schaeffer from Iced Earth!!!

Ancient Viking Soothsayer from across the eldstaden, staring into your soul, within the half buried and snow topped hurstwic... who also happens to be a badass drummer.

I had no idea he had those issues with his leg. He still plays Bleed perfectly. Incredible.

Opeth logo next to Haake's left arm

Tomas has fucking awesome hair!! I always love this interviewers enthusiasm for who he's interviewing. You can obviously tell he listens to all of these bands.

How come Haake is doing 100% of the media for this album?

"so it's the Tommi Iommi things" I cried

I GOT vertigo , its a fucking nightmare. im so glad it went away, i dont know if i could keep going if i had that for life, i still am terrified it will come back

Sounds like Meshuggah's bassist Peter Nordin has Meniere's Disease.

This man's English is perfect.

hardest working calves in the stratosphere

Graham's pretty lucky. He's gotten to see a lot of great metal personalities through loudwire. Keep it up Graham!

You should get john petrucci here. John myung would be even better

His beard is so fuckn' symmetrical.

Wait, they didn't pick up on the fact that the only album that is a concept album is a concept album on paradoxes while the other page says Meshuggah doesn't write concept albums? Well okay, it's a contradiction, not a paradox, but still I find that funny.

I've always approached Meshuggah records as concept albums. I know what they mean to me. Chaosphere is like a sordid tale of transhumanism. A man trading in his parts for machinery.

Eat some shrooms and listen to MESHUGGAH !!! ...or Devin Townsend !!!

Meshuggah writes concept albums about paradoxes, thats friggin epic.

Right foot doesn't work properly... Haake: Have you met my friend? BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA BERTA

How does he not get excited when meeting all these famous people?!?

When Tomas buys a metronome the metronome immedialtely starts getting drum lessons.

My most respected drummer

I'll put Meshuggah in the top of all metal bands. In history. Am i that biased?

Get Simone Simons on this.

Tomas once saved a burning cat from a combine harvester while holding a double whopper together with just his front teeth...facts

I'm weirded out how nice all these metal musicians are. Not that I didn't "know" many of them before hand, but all of them are so heart-warming in this show.

Listening to Meshuggah is like being in the middle of a Tornado of razor blades, but in a good way. 🤘😎🤘 🎶🎵🎶 Long Live METAL!!!!

You guys have no idea how brilliant this man is.

10:31 graham it's that your face of "oh fuck i don't remember the new album title either the date" or this was shoot before the anouncement of the new album?

Damn that's a nice goatee.

His proficiency and fluency of the English language is impressive... correct me if I'm wrong, BUT, English is not his primary language.

Currently dealing with a herniated disc in my lower back. It gives me great hope to see one of my favorite drummers have a successful career even with ongoing complications.

he is every fucking where now, and i don't complain!

Is that Axl Rose in the back?

Such a Sweet person. I wanna be his friend. And Go Fish with him and talk about Heidegger and DMT. Tomas Haake fucking Rules.

1:26 I spy with my little eye the Opeth symbol.

Why Jens Kidman doesn't have a wikipedia page is what I wanna know

Never even knew what mashuggah was 20 minutes ago

is there an Axl Rose candle in the background??

There are many genre defining drummers. John Bonham paved the way for the modern era of drumming, Neil Peart was able to combine complex beats, poly-rhythms and odd time signatures for the progressive style of drumming, Dave Lombardo set the standard for modern heavy metal drummers, and THIS GUY, set an endurance test. If that doesn't scream brutal, then IDK what does because practicing Meshuggah songs on the drums is like seeing how long you can hold onto a ledge before your arm falls out of it's socket.

Graham you're getting much better at interviews, dude. This is a really great one.

4:11 Listening to Meshuggah will do that to you....

One of these days you have to get Robb Flynn or Phil Demmel from Machine Head on here.

Finally I won’t feel like an idiot trying to say his last name 😅

You guys should really do this with Josh Homme.

Btw this dude is too chill he didn't curse or anything

Tomas should check out the uncyclopedia page, he won't be disappointed xD
