Interview with Tomas Haake of Meshuggah at Hellfest 2018

I thoroughly embarrassed myself with a momentary brain-fart, talking to the very good spirited Tomas Haake of Meshuggah (DEFINITELY Meshuggah!) at Hellfest 2018 about the band's supposed creation of 'Djent', going from being an underground band to getting mainstream recognition, and his awesome girlfriend Jessica Pimentel from Orange is the New Black and Brujeria.

Mr. Haake has great eye contact.
*Do Not Look Down!*

[@johannrajan6357]

"I" see what you did there. Strong Rational Gaze indeed.

[@holywooder44]

Gg boy 😂

[@t3hgir]

underrated comment

[@Metallevile]

She's obviously nervous becasue Tomas is a true modern day gentleman.

[@danutd94]

Metallevile *Djentleman

[@mreddyfeelgood]

She's not nervous shes drunk dont you see it?

[@TemalCageman]

Tomas is such a Djentleman! :)

[@rippindrummer666]

Ba dumm tsssccchhh

[@NotMyWar]

If only he played that crappy genre.

[@Enavor]

You guys might be (or might not be surprised to know), but this guy is actually extremely, extremely smart. If he didn't pursue music he would've made a brilliant engineer.

[@abhilashnicholas2669]

He still is through his drumming

[@Enavor]

@@abhilashnicholas2669 True, everything's relative.

[@BuddhaDog93]

"No one knows how I goes"
- one of Tomas Haake's greatest quotes.
Double entendre cleverness.
Never knew much about this dude beyond the music, saw a video breaking down the math in meshuggah, got curious and am very satisfied.
Intelligent, articulate, humble and kind.
Amusing mistake @Hayley Leggs
Otherwise great interview, much respect your way as well. You remind me of someone I once knew.
Stay Golden ☯️

[@greyanaroth]

HAHAHA mastodon epic. "I'm having too much fun" is something i can totally relate to. Open artist bar \m/

[@pauliedontsurf]

Tomas Haake, the most forgiving gentleman in metal. What a legend.

[@stevedoughja1034]

Dude is a fucking beast yet so humble.

[@demoncleaner80]

Haha great interview, totally remind me of a girl I dated years ago. Just a great personality and really silly, lol

[@tlr9403]

wtf is that intro, she slaps herself witht the mic first thing

[@HayleyLeggs]

I think the fact that I introduced him as a member of the totally wrong band kinda overtakes the fact that the microphone nudged my head slightly. Right?!

[@rippindrummer666]

You seem like a pleasant drunk, which is never a bad thing

[@awertyuiop8711]

7:53 Futile Bread Machine?

[@satanamogila9251]

Lmao they roasted the shit out of Andy

[@chiefxtrc]

they just missed church of misery playing

[@t3hgir]

cool interview! :)

[@BoundInChains]

the chick's gordjeous.

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Wow she has great... . Personality

[@creggkelbae9617]

I wonder what’s in his head knowing he’s her favorite drummer

[@BuddhaDog93]

Banging the drum slowly

[@trismurray]

Love how ‘together’ he is whist being interviewed by someone who’s not quite ‘on it.’

[@Metallevile]

Holy shit. is sleep playing in the background?

[@Abc-tx4zr]

Sounds like gojira intro

[@dark3rthanshadows]

sleep from who ?

[@isaackmojica8302]

[@liiifer]

[@HayleyLeggs]

Thankfully not, but I probably deserved it!

[@markspencer2529]

Hayley Leggs man your so yummy!

[@HayleyLeggs]

Mark Spencer Thanks for the compliment and for forgiving my drunkeness!

[@swedesarewhite5984]

Go home and give birth, woman!

[@visionofdisorder]

"created playlists: JEWS" lol

[@83MTHO]

She should be ashamed...

[@thomasm3100]

Why?

[@ivanandreev9289]

She really knows how to hold a microfone ! Lame

[@HayleyLeggs]

Ivan Andreev Great comment, dude. Please tell us more.

[@ivanandreev9289]

Thanks :)

[@awertyuiop8711]

At least she's not cupping it like the average metal vocalist.

[@shuruff904]

And you really know how to spell it!
