oh with the paws too
what's up what's up everybody oh ryan
here coming at you guys with another
reaction video
today you guys got me checking out
meshuggah the
song bleed okay gonna be honest
and i feel a little bit stupid because i
know this band is a lot bigger
i've probably heard of the band name
maybe in the last like three months
maybe just kind of being
in the reaction world right now and i
feel ashamed to say that i am a
metalhead
and i've never listened to meshuggah
blast me in the comments all you want
uh but that's the truth 100 i i just
never listened to him i never knew who
they were
apparently they got a wicked drummer and
that's probably
about it that i know of that's why we're
gonna check out the live
version of uh i guess his name is thomas
hank
hake i guess he's one of the best
drummers in the metal scene going into
this
i don't know what to really expect all i
really know is that my neighbor
again he's the guy that like loves all
like this
older metal style stuff i don't know if
they're like if this is actually
really older but i know they're big in
the scene so this came out in 2014
i don't know when the original song came
out i didn't really do much
research i got wikipedia up quick
because i didn't know who thomas was but
apparently he
is the drummer of this band uh he's
known for his polyrhythm
and technique abilities and he was named
the fifth best
modern metal drummer by metalsucks.net
in 2012.
don't know what that really means but
hey if you're getting nominated to be
one of the best drummers out there i
think it's worth checking out before we
get into it guys if you do like what you
see here today like
comment subscribe to the channel would
mean the world to me let me know in the
comments as well what i should be
checking out what i should know
by meshuggah and yeah without further
ado guys
let's fucking get into our buds
ready
are you fucking right
no yeah those kicks
barefoot let's go
oh my god the chugs
oh i love the different tones during the
the guitar
this guy is legit just going non-stop
with the kicks
it's crazy keeping that nice beat you
know
but footwork like crazy
i wonder what this guy's calves look
like i like i can't really see
am i even on hd right now i don't even
think i am oh my god i'm not so 1080 hp
we need to we need to get that first and
foremost so we can actually see
it's just a little bit pixelated there
for me but yeah
so far this is really chuggy i didn't
think
i don't know i don't know what i was
thinking it's coming into this i was
like this is more like
just heavier metal than the stuff that
i'm really used to listening to
i'm used to listening to stuff that's
like metalcore
this is definitely not that so yeah
let's see
oh i didn't realize this is a long song
seven minutes and 34 seconds okay let's
go let's get at it
i think it's so groovy
let's see if we can see his calves here
oh my goodness
it's the lighting though the lighting is
not okay right now but you can kind of
see it there
where did it fucking go yeah like you
could see
oh man i don't know how people play bare
feet either i need shoes to play
but hey if you're like one with the
instrument like that oh he's got two
kicks as well nice that's what i like to
see
oh that pause
he's like flicking his head up to keep
town it's different
this is so good
oh okay so there is some different stuff
to this
oh yeah
i love that transition the transition
was actually really cool like just going
to like
that like on uh the fucking fourth beat
if i'm even saying that right
but like it's so hard to explain i'm not
a drummer i don't know like drumming
terms but like
i love driving in the car and like
figuring out like those i guess they're
called poly rhythms which i just kind of
learned today i just say like the
patterns
same shit different term but i just love
trying to figure out all that stuff and
i don't know what it is it's just like
i'm a very creative guy so i i like to
find those things in songs i feel like
that's why i like like a lot of like
after the burial
august burns red it's just so different
patterns
and chugginess excuse my
terminology but i think you get it i
think you get it
i love the transition in there and then
with that drum fill it was pretty
fucking sick
and it was different than the first part
of the song
wow
oh man this is nuts
oh
oh he's on a different snare beat too
that fucking growl in there too with
that transition
fuck man this guy's voice is actually
pretty sweet too
for first time listen like i'm i'm i'm
not one for those kind of vocals
but it fits so well with this maybe it's
just because of how chuggy it is and
and then that's why i like it with this
kind of vocal style
but it goes so well like i can see where
a lot of bands like
kind of influence this style of metal
into their stuff so
yeah i want to hear that growl again
that was dope
with the paws too
oh man this is dope i need lying hair
for this one
oh he's got the hi-hat on the other side
too
is he left-handed left-handed drummer or
is it just
easier for him to put it there
i really like how he uses the hi-hat
there i don't know what it is it's just
it's one thing that it's chuggy already
but when it's just like consistently
going and then like it's just a little
bit quieter without those symbols or
the ride or anything it sounds really
good and probably
brings out the well it does it brings up
the vocals a lot too
being that verse part so i really do
enjoy that
i think it's a good move breaks it up a
bit too i feel like it's a little
repetitive
but this yeah this makes up for it
let's like move to more bouncy
oh
i was kind of expecting a bigger solo
here
but it's simple it works
oh fuck man that was insane is that it
that's only half the fucking video
oh my god the cam cam tech that day
so gritty
okay so we got like an interlude here
this part better melt my face they
better come in with this stupid fucking
breakdown
this pattern though
did he put socks on there he was
bare feet and now he's got socks on
did this guy literally put socks on to
play this next part
let me well clearly he did don't let me
know in the comments
i could see it for myself
yo he's got orion socks on we can make
that we can make that orion okay
yeah that's right sponsored them i
really didn't though
don't quote me on that we need orion
socks
see it's not like a head bang song it's
like more of a groove
headbang
oh i don't know what that was but it
just
seemed like it added more to it almost
like he skipped like a
a bar yeah
right there it's like one extra bar or
something
oh man
yes
how do you memorize this
oh my god can we just go back into that
one spot i know i'm pausing and fucking
rewinding all and shit
and this and that that and this but this
drummer is awesome
i i can't believe he's like
kicking like that for this long i can
understand why he put socks on maybe
he's hurting i don't know but man
the calluses on your feet alone playing
that bare feet i know wyatt staff plays
bare feet and i'm like i don't know how
you fucking do it man but hey if it
works it works
oh shit and then the way that i came in
there
it was sick i wasn't all for the solo
part there uh
i get i guess i get it was more the
melodic side of things
but i don't know i don't know i think it
could have been a little bit more
alive you know i don't know but this was
also like i don't know how many years
ago i can't do quick match right now but
2014 so maybe it's different maybe
they're different now i'm sure they are
let's get i just want to hear this
fucking breakdown again
they're coming into it
oh man
this is insane
nobody
how can you play that not fuck up
is
man the combination between the snare
and the kicks
and that china
fuck
that was insane
so this is meshuggah a
it's more like machuga that was chuggy
as shit guys
wow okay
taking it all in recapping what's in my
brain right now
first go talk right now
um let's see let's see well let's start
with the drumming because we watched a
drum video
the drumming was crazy i liked it it was
like just
consistent i didn't see any mistakes not
that i could probably point out a
mistake if he did have a mistake
i love how he started off with you know
just the bare feet
put on socks i guess halfway through
during that little interlude part
and man the cavs are insane this guy
does not need to do leg day at all
let alone like i'm sure you sweat a lot
just playing drums
the cardio in that man that's like
fucking
running somehow in that long enough of a
song
fuck i don't i know that didn't make any
sense but we'll throw it in the video
shit i like even the guitar players i'm
gonna i'm gonna touch on a little bit of
everything here because the guitars
i could hear like you know them chugging
up the scale kind of thing as well like
there's different notes and
it's not just the same like
it is i fucked that up but for a first
time listen like
i really want to listen to this over and
over and over again to see if i can do
the whole song like
acapella with drums i guess like
but yeah i enjoyed it the solo wasn't
the greatest in my opinion uh
but hey i think it went really well i
feel like they're more
showing off uh either the lyric side i
don't know any i didn't pay attention to
the lyrics when you're
putting a drum kit in front of me i'm
focusing on that more than anything
but uh the poly rhythms patterns as i
call them
were amazing i i think it's really cool
how they can do that
and memorize that much stuff for that
long
that's talent i i give a lot of props to
that that's why i like bands like
politia
animal as animals as leaders i think
they just dropped a new song as well
and uh yeah i've checked out one song by
lamb of god and honestly i can kind of
see the resemblance there
a little bit when the vocals the chugs
for sure i just feel like uh
the islamic gods song which i believe is
on our patreon if not i will get it up
there some way shape or form uh but i
did do that one with my neighbor too so
yeah i can see there's resemblance there
i definitely need to i don't know how i
missed this band i didn't really listen
to this heavy metal genre back in the
day
especially in high school so yeah guys
this
is fucking sick drop it down in the
comments what am i checking out next by
meshuggah what else should i know
is this the original drummer uh of this
band or is it just like
someone else that they had play i i have
no idea just that's where you guys come
in that's why i like
doing this whole youtube stuff doing
like finding new stuff
and uh finding out from the real true
fans about everything about this band so
