My wife: upset thinking I’m having a stroke
😂😂😂
You don't have enough fingers......
😺
When you showed your face during Riff #4 and said "if your face doesn't look like this you should see a doctor" I was making the EXACT face without even realizing it.
That only means you're an excellent human being and your emotional responses to Meshuggah are all correct!
I showed this song to my mother and she was doing the same thing!
Literally, same face. Meshuggah bringing the stank faces through time
Saw this comment before watching, was prepared not to make the face when riff 4 started, but that rhythm change riiiight before yogev points out the face brought me to my knees
That's called the lip out nod face which is reserved exclusively for monster mid paced metal riffs
At least we know that the Clock Works
I want to endorse this joke
@@Skavengerx I second it
💙💚💜
Bruh..
NAHAHAAHAJAJAJAJAJ OMG WTF CRACKED ME UP
"I" next time, so we have a forty minute monstrosity for Part 1. We need it.
Monstrocity*
@@TheDeathDivisor It's not written like that, or else the autocorrect function wouldn't have flagged that word for me. Monstrocity is flagged as a spelling error.
Please don't try to correct something when you're not one hundred percent certain of what you're correcting.
@@franciscocigarro8839 Why should he be guessing the reasons? All in all, it was misspelled, wasn't it? He's just pointed that out. No offense intended as far as I can see. (Btw, you can still edit your comment to correct it.)
@@Epyxoid It wasn't misspelled. And there was no offense taken, it's just that corrections without any sort of reason kind of get to me. I reacted poorly to it, so I should apologize.
@@franciscocigarro8839 No problem, sir. But as far as I know 'MonstroCity' is the correct spelling of that song, unlike the English word "monstrosity".
Jesus Christ do these people eat differential equations for breakfast?
Yes they do.
most certainly! They then proceed to consume theoretical non-euclidean geometry for lunch and dinner.
Yes but they tend to stay away from stochastic processes...
@@filipberntsson6634 hahaha nice!!
🤣
I've watched a lot of "deciphering odd time signature" videos, and none of them have been as informative, entertaining and straight-up educating as your ones! Thank you, Yogev!!
Glad you like them!
I have no idea why I've never heard of you man. This is one of the most brilliant and passionate song analysis formats I've ever seen.
Well, welcome aboard!
10:10 exactly my face every time I listen to this song
Yes!
This video let me go from taking hours to learn just one of the riffs to getting the whole song playable (guitar) within about 2 hours. The visual breakdowns are superb
Oh yeeesssssssss
Now one even understands how perfectly the vocals sit in the song and emphasizes the whole structure
This just cements the fact that Tomas Haake is an absolute Mastermind for drums!
i love how humble he is. i think his genius comes from his "limitations" as he is _technically_ not that complex, but instead works around odd time sigs and bar pushing by simplfying it down to a count similar to the way this is described. in an interview he once said that he is counting very simply and i guess all the extra notes are played almost subconsciously. what amazes me is the way he maintains such power and heavy strokes, there are no ghost notes, only full strokes. its all about the patterns
@@deefman123triggers
@@deefman123there are no ghost notes ? What??😮
"If your face doesn't look like this right now, you should see a doctor" Lol dude that was brilliant.
heaven
i saw my reflection when he said it and laughed so hard
One of the only youtubers that I immediately click when I see it. Love your content. ❤️👏🏼
Thanks!!
14:16 sneaky headphone retrieval haha
My girlfriend: "Shhhhh I NEED TO TAKE THESE QUIETLY"
@@YogevGabay She had to give that track another listen from how confusing yet amazing it is.
After getting into Meshuggah, everything else sounds like Dora the fucking Explorer
Wait til you hear Gorguts
Try Lorna Shore
@@Riley_Worthen 🤣 lorna shore 🤣🤣🤣
@@fuckmylife4403 haha lorna shore just crushed your soul and places it where we all belong, into the hellfire!
@@Riley_Worthen 🤣🤣🤣 sure buddy
As a math teacher and fast double-pedal playing fan, you are now officially my new master.
You know at some point you'll have to talk about the 24-minute song because there is none left :D
You mean the none EP?
@@bsatyam I think it was I, even though it is "only" 21 minutes long.
@@DocteurZeuhl I know about 'I'. I was referring to 'because there is NONE left' -> None EP... #facepalm
Look.

You're right.
@@YogevGabay Do it, you won't do it.
Today I learned: converting a 6-string guitar to an 8-string guitar means you draw a couple of extra lines and ovals.
I can't believe it took me 10 years to finally like Meshuggah. Their grooves are so good and so brutal.
Just like me ! But after 10 years of music study, I finally get a brain equipped with enough RAM to fully appreciate M E S H U G G A H !!! 😍
Took me about 2-2.5yrs, that was about 3 yrs back, but I still haven't listened to their entire discography, I still don't consider myself to be well equipped to understand all
Clockworks was one of those songs I couldn't really enjoy until I watched this video explaining the madness and once I could wrap my head around the riff I could enjoy it.
I've been listening to them for 6 years
I heard bleed and clockworks for 5 fucking years until i gave up AND listened to every album❤❤❤❤ i cant get enough now
Now everything needs moreshuggah
Now i am fucking insane if i dont listen to them😂
Really they are an acquired taste!
Dude you're awesome. It is unbelievable all the work you have, didactic and still with humor. I would like to find more videos like yours.
Cheers from Brazil
More to come!
Riff 4 is one of the best things I have ever heard in all of my 37 and a bit years on the earth. It is absolutely amazing.
Dancers to a discordant system for one of the months pls!! That rotary riff is driving me crazy
You mean the verse riff?
This might sound weird but there's a piano cover on yt and seeing it played on piano from above the keys really helped me to learn it
@@bsatyam The riff from 4mn09s to 4mn40s, with the half time snare, is awesome.. I always loose the pulse !
@@bmdrums9502 It feels amazing once you do get it!
@@That_Idiot_Bass_Player that piano cover is absolutely INSANE
you are the type of channel one doesn't skip ads on so you get more cash money.
Amazing vid!
I appreciate that! Though these videos aren't monetized, as I don't own the rights for these songs!
@@YogevGabay now this sucks. Guess ill enable adblock since you dont get any money? Dont know how this cash system works
@@steakiefrags1866 Yup man, fire up that AdBlock! Sadly, I can't earn any revenue while using songs I don't own the copyrights to.
Monthly Meshuggah!? Wooo. I hope you eventually get to the intro to Swarm.
Or Do Not Look Down. I told my dad that both songs intros were a 21st century version of Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop and he got it
10:03 Heaviest shit on the planet is about to start.
"..warms up to the meanest head-bang in history." Yes!!! - Thank you for this video!
And monthly Meshuggah video? Sold!
That chorus riff is so simple compared to other ones, but it’s just so damn filthy. Permanent stank face.
Great video Yogev! Time to vote in the poll
Your video format with the paper is genius. So easy to understand and visualize
i love you for making meshuggah content like this.
I love your videos man, adore you're editing style and laughed my head off at "if your face doesn't look like this" - i am a huge meshuggah fan, and i think this might be my favourite song - certainly one of my top 3 especially to play on the drums and let off some steam
You sir, deserve a medal!
The massive bomb at 10:02 is pure badassery!
What a killer riff!
Awesome video! ❤
Edit: MAYshuggah? 😂
MAY the shuggah be with us all!
hahahahah yeesss
You are incredible man thank you for making these
Riff# 4 ist the heaviest shit ever recorded. It is THAT breakdown!
watch out for headphone thief at 14:17!!
Love your videos. Super entertaining and "easy" to follow. The amount of work you put into this really shows, man!
Thanks for that!
Your Chanel is great man. Keep it up🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ok my mind is blown after jus the first riff breakdown 😮💨🤯
Too much information!! 👊🏽💥💯
This is the perfect channel for those friends who not only don't understand why Meshuggah is so amazing but that it also is as simple as they think it is.
When you break down the song and see what's going on inside it makes a band I already thought was amazing even more amazingerest! Great work! Subscribed!
Meshuggah fan excited to see what song you'd do for the next one :)
Based RUclips front page
Excellent instructional videos.. Broken down in such an easy to consume, and visual format!
Me, whose been into metal since I was 13 and knows nothing about music theory: yeah that makes sense.
Love the channel and cant wait for more!!
Seriously one of the hands down best music channels on the Tubes. So much knowledge
Thank you man, Happy youlike these!
I don't even play the drums but I'm absolutely addicted to your videos. Very clear and informative, even for someone like me who understands very little about drumming
Glad you like them!
i love the last "okay, okay, now i'm listening" .... the riff that humbles us all :D
HAHA!!! Even though I KNEW my face would look in of some sort of way, shown at around 10:15 I still looked EXACTLY like that!! Priceless!
Absolutely love the presentation and appreciate the dedication and work it took to make these videos! Seriously top-tier content and I can't get over how I'm floored every time I watch a new video! Thanks, Yogev!
Please kindly keep up, may the force be with you
Man, these videos are amazing keep it up
These videos are insanely helpful for learning Meshuggah songs. Saving me a lot of mental math! Thank you!
Hey I really like that you tap along with the pattern of the song. I know music is an auditory thing, but it’s so much easier for me to learn things through visual indicators. Really good work! I look forward to May.
Glad you like it! I always found visual help necessary
thank u so much for these breakdown vids
Happy they do !
Yes! This is awesome. Excellent explanation!
still here in 2022? its not enough to watch this once^^thx yogev
This is fantastic content bro. Your understanding is next level and not to mention just using pen and paper to convey it all. Keep it coming!
You've got my sub! Rhythm seems to be a neglected topic by many music RUclipsrs, so it was great to see this breakdown of an incredible song.
Getting here pretty late, not one to comment often, just watching, but dude, have to say it- you helped me fall In love with Meshuggah even more. Been listening to them for about 15 years now, and as I understand their music more I enjoy them more. Your videos and Meshuggah series helped me see their music in another way, and thus enjoying it more. They helped me a lot during the reserve since October 7th. Ain't nothing like falling asleep to Meshuggah.
Godamn man, thank you!
And while we're at it, I'd love to see more Meshuggah songs, pretty much all of them are worthy, but Lethargica would be epic for me.
Man, I appreciate this comment so much.
I also use Meshuggah when times are tough, and since Oct 7, it's been intense. People killed, my parents under rockets, my brother in reserves, the whole deal.
Stay strong brother, I'm super super happy you enjoy the video !
@@YogevGabay You're the man!!
So spot on. I thought I was nuts for not being able to figure this track out… even a little bit. Hats off to you, Sir.
Brilliant! Subscribed. Thank you for your content. I realise now I'm listening in 'low resolution' compared to Yogev. Just great 10:03 I vote for 'Do Not Look Down'.
I love your Meshuggah explanations.
watching this makes it sooo much easier to learn on guitar, because its not the memorizing different notes, its understanding the rhythms that makes it difficult, something tabs cant show you.
Thanks for the vid! Remember I asked about the subject once in the comments 🔥🔥🔥
I’m going to vote for dancers to a discordant system, even though it’s not an option :3
Favourite new channel dude
I really like how you manage to make this so visual, that's a huge work there
dude this channel is as insane as Clockworks !! awesome work man !!
These videos are phenomenal, man, you're a legend!
I wished I knew this song and watched this video to be able to pass my Algebra classes back in my school days, my mind would have opened more and sharpened like sharpening a pencil then.......... High schools must have a small class emphasizing on Meshuggah songs as a mind booster and boggler....
Mahn love your videos!
subbed for monthly meshuggah -- thanks yogev!
Came for the lesson, but my man you're dedication to meshuggah will keep me here!
Cannot wait for MaySuhhag! \m/
You and me both!
EPIC WORK MAN! Love the Effort you put in your Videos!
Dude thank you SO much for this; I started listening to it with the intention of learning it; realized I had NO idea what was actually going on, and brought up this video and started listening to your explanation before I even touched the tablerature.
Happy to help !
Cool breakdown of time signatures.
Now it all make sense! :D And every time i hear Clockworks and get to riff #4, i have goosebumps. Respect Yogev. כל הכבוד!
Glad to hear that you like it!
Only just come across your channel and this is a fantastic way of explaining it all. I love the very visual way you're doing it. Excellent work! Look forward to checking out some other videos. Also, I was definitely making that face 🤘
Welcome aboard!
This is the best RUclips Channel ive come across! Great job my friend.
Dude, your videos are so great, you inspired me to write my bachelors thesis about meshuggah and analyse their polyrhythmic structures. Keep it going man!
Oh man amazing!!
Let me know if I can help in anyway.
@@YogevGabay
It's done already, I appreciate the kind offer, though! :)
You’re awesome dude, I need every Meshuggah Song explained 🔥❤️
Awesome explanation! Excellent work
This video is absolutely Epic. Awesome job!
This is amazing, man! Best analysis out there
YOU are BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
Ελα ελα παμε λιγο! I was listening to the new Meshuggah teaser and your channel popped up. I'm so glad YT decides to sometimes be good. Great content you got there! I'm going to binge watch. Greetings from Greece!
Ohhh thanks !!
THANKS for doing this.
Dude this has so much work put into, it's amazing! Love the Host / Guest analogy. Been waiting for so long to see something so well dissected like this and I hope people realize that this is genius level analysis!
First video I'm seeing on this channel, and wow !! What a fantastic content !! Subscribed !
Welcome aboard!
Love me some Meshuggah but your analyses have shifted my love up a level! Cheers \M/
your videos are such a gem in this place, deserves way more subs and views
I've NEVER seen a channel like this. Crazy cool.
Dude this kind of class was fucking awesome, keep the good work mate!
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
This is incredible!!!!
Yogev , this time you've really outdone yourself.
absolutely awesome!!!
I really love this video. It really encapsulates the counting.
This is one of the most amazing, informative and inspiring videos I’ve ever seen. From “decoding” them to all the work you did producing this video.
Ohh thanks a lot !!
Dude, such a nice and thorough breakdown. I usually just brute force my way trough these songs and try to figure out the cycles via repeated air-guitar sessions and it works - but your visualizations help a lot! In fact, I also group certain parts of Meshuggah songs together and count those. It's really funny to confuse other people and musicians with your own numbered understandings 😁
Monthly Meshuggah Video❤
such a great idea
So it was the third and the fourth riff that killed me. Thanks!
I really appreciate your content. Keep it up \m/
Gotta be 'Demiurge' next on Meshuggah monthly 🤘
nah bro let it be “I”
@@m3lanchol1a60 i would pay money for that
Demiurge is a monster song but doesn't have much to breakdown musically
It's so cool how much effort you put in this! Also I was waiting for someone to really analyse this banger song.
Insane! Love your videos!
