This is the parts of Meshuggah's discography that I really enjoy.

The best Meshugga thing I ever saw was a mash up with lady gaga. I think it got pulled from youbutholetube. I couldn't find it last time I looked. It ounded like someone really put some effort into it. Could have been composed that way to begin with.

Isn't that partly how Doom and Sludge came about?
edit: In fact, that's the way we often categorize genres in general. We associate guitar music with its affiliate guitar and tone. Death Metal is synonymous with Boss and Mesa/Boogie, just as country is with a Tele and a Twin.
I kinda agree and disagree...i think genres also are defined by the 'scenes' rather than the music itself which is more about the people that play the music and the fans and their way of life or outlook on life and music...its a combination of a bunch of things that define a genre. Thats my view anyway...

The other thing I failed to mention before was how poon SLKs new 8 string looks. Fucking sweet dude.
I'll defend Meshuggah. I really don't give a shit if people don't think they arent doom enough or that whole " fuck djent" thing, whatever. They're a fucking awesome band that makes fucking awesome, heavy music. They're great live.
I know there are some other peeps in here that feel the same way about heavy stuff. Tempo is just a thing. Feels is where it's at.
Carnivorous, screaming, ambient dental drill, machine metal gets my feels.
Skip is right though, it's kinda stupid a whole bunch of bands sprung up around them.
Also, skip, get that ibanez. I posted one of the icemen Meshuggah had made for them a while back. On the page it was linked to there were a heap of their other customs from ibanez and a Swedish builder. Some very rad stuff on there indeed. All beautiful guitars with that same very simple aesthetic. Another reason I like those guys. They don't fuck around with shiht that looks flashy or "metal". They just punish.
Just google Meshuggah guitars skip and you should find it. (maybe you could get a Swedish custom built?)
Ryry, on the subject of machines making art, you should incorporate some of your power tools in the dungeon into some dangers field stuff.

Ancient Astronaught wrote:Dan: Yes and no.... There are the sleep Matamp fanboys of course but just the fact that you can split the genre in to Doom and Sludge all ready offers a difference from Djent. Djent to me is like all the sleep fanboys creating their very own genre which they create a mold for and never break from. But its not just tone its the playing style too that they mimic.
Sam: I concur. There is more to a genre than just the music, but they seemed to create a stereotype and try to fit hard into it. It seems either all in or all out.

Wes Mantooth wrote:Yeah Djent is a very specific style so I see what you mean here. Which is why I only listen to Meshuggah when it comes to djent, why fuck with anything but the best?
Anytime I listen to someone else from the genre I just view them as a worse version of Meshuggah.
