Meshuggah vs Gojira

Im not fond of nether or other becouse that leads the focus away from the important band in the poll

I have seen both live myself (in Denmark, Roskilde ) not on the same year 2009 and 2010, Meshuggah at Arena which was great (a bit to early for that kind of music 14:00), and the sound was to low, and the soundenginere forgott that they were TWO guitatists so the guitarsound was abit off. but other then that quite awesome concert with great energy and intencety, and a day to remember

Meshuggah, obviously, but Gojira isn't a bad band.

I don't think Gojita got the attention they deserve, they use oftehn unconventional instruments in metal like digeridoo, extreme riffs, totaly extreme and probably the most exrtreme French band (after Magma), pluss the members gott brains and they love our Nature and are MiIjau-activists,

hmm m m m m . . .

I'm looking at my Icon now who wouldOFCOURSEITSTHEMESHUGGAHNERS!

I really like Gojira though, but have yet to see them live.  Been a fan of the Meshuggahners
since Destroy Erase Improve and did not see them until Last Year with Cynic and The
Faceless.
Not since Neil Peart, Portnoy and Herb Alexander was I in shear awe to see Sean Rienert and
Tomas Haak play.  2 sides of a coin, Sean with such power and "Joy" as he sang along with
songs just mouthing the words while playing like a Fusion master!
And Haak . . . what Power and abilities to play so fluidly! Hagstrom and Thordendal are the
masters of the Chugs from Hell and Thordendals wild fusionesque' Solos bring freshair to the
Carnage!  Dick L�vgren is a bassist supreme and he is loud and clear Live as well.
. . . I'm scared of Jens Kidman . . . That Swedish Nut was looking right at me and I think he
wanted me to light myself on fire .
He can SCREAM like a A-10 Warthog firing its Vulcan Canon at T-38 Soviet Tanks!  It would be
nice if he changed his "styles" of voice like on "None", but he was made to destroy with his
throat.
Here . . . tear out your Layranx, thanks.


Heres 2 more Vidz for the uninitiated, they dont take themselves seriously too so thats always
nice (but their fans at their Forum, man those guys are @ssh0les!).

Let the Slamming of your Head commense!!!!!!


Watch for the SCREAMING from Jens, at Sessions for "The Aztec 2 Step" from
the NONE Ep:


. . . That should make you go   or

You mean the Pissing? 
But hey, if you can find "everyday things to do" while Headbanging . . . why not .

. . . I'll hose down a Cow!

Actually, their humour is VERY much "me" . . . now I'll go off to rush blood to my face
enough to make a blood vessal burst *pop!*

Meshuggah for sure!!!

Yeah, I'm jumping on board with Meshuggah as well.  Mainly because most of their stuff is better to listen to compared to the bad experience I had with Gojira's The Link on one of my discog runs.  Gojira's only necessary album is Terra Incognita.

Compared to Terra Incognita or a Necrophagist album, the production on Obscura sucks.

Funny,

I was just listening to that Goreguts album (A Promo Sleeve Copy I got when I worked at Tower Records
those many years ago) just last week.
Actually, its not that the Production was bad, it seems that they wanted to have that album sound REALLY
"Raw", everything is clear, but their is no reverb to the vocals (Cookies), its pure raw Vox.  And the Drums
are mic'd raw as well, it almost has a mono-tone sound but if you listen on headphones you can hear
the depth of the room . . . its really weird.
Its actually why I cant listen to it very often .
(At 1st I thought you were saying the band "Obscura" was bad! I was like . . . WAIT A MINUTE!!! - named
apparently after the Goreguts album).



Dont mean to change the Topic subject of this thread but, I want to know why "Enslaved" cant seem to
Produce/Engineer their albums to sound good?  Though the last 2 are better, but I think they need to
call Andy Sneap or Steve Wilson .
