DEP does a lot of changing. Those really rhythmic sections of theirs are usually seemingly random streches of time signatures switching.

I downloaded that powertab of Dillinger Escape Plan's "43% Burnt", it was so horrible, I can't believe people play stuff like that.

[QUOTE=Killtacular]I did. 4/4. Good game.

The only Necrophagist song I can think of not in common time is Seven, which is in, surprisingly, 7/8.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I didn't look at the tab first. About half the song is in 4/4. It does change between 4/4, 5/4, 12/8 8/8 and 9/8 in parts though.

Whoa! I didn't know Yes's "Heart Of The Sunrise" was partialy in 5/4. I didn't know what it was period.

i think money from pink floyd is pritty messed up as far as time sig goes.... to be honest ive heard a lot of weird timing before but i dont really know how to read it or anythng so......

Turn It On Again by Genesis is in 13/4 which is pretty odd considering its a pop song.

Yeah, I was going to post that too. I created an account in this forum just to reply to this thread. If you want the weirdest time signatures, then it's progressive rock/metal that you're looking at here.

Dream Theater have a plethora of crazy time signatures and time signature changes in their songs. Their song "The Dance of Eternity" (from the album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory) "contains mixtures of faster and slower beat groupings in 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4. It goes through 104 time signature changes in just over six minutes." [Quoted straight from Wikipedia] :smash: :lol:

Spiral Architect uses really odd time signatures

Non-standard time signatures aren't weird. Can't you dudes count?

Meshuggah has the weirdest time signatures you people will ever listen.

This.

I find myself writing stuff in 7 and 5 on accident just as much as I do 4 or 3. It's just the corporate laboratory-produced pop music that's been shoved down our throats our whole lives that makes anything other than 4/4 "weird"

edit: meshuggah doesn't have that weird of time signatures especially when compared to a lot of jazz and fusion... and when you count a lot of their songs they're usually just in 4/4 but have odd rhythms. Maybe some 9/8 or something sometimes but nothing spectacularly crazy

The intervals will never be larger than division of 3. How is it hard to count to 3?

For most Meshuggah fans...?

quite difficult

my friend writes stuff in 17/16 sometimes, pisses the **** out of everyone trying to write parts to it

[QUOTE=Cocaine;12508733]He is GROSSLY underrated, as is Ron at guitar. Those two are so ****ing original, and they're related. Not fair.

I can't wait for Ron Jarzombek's new project with Alex Webster and Derek Roddy[/QUOTE]

agree w/ 3 and a half year old Cocaine post

theres tons of music with no time signatures

here is the mahavishnu orchestra
the first slow ominous part is in 7/8
but
the second part is [I]19/16 [/I]with intense playing at roughly 220~ bpm
[I]shreadddddddddddss[/I]

you know someone doesnt listen to jazz when they say stuff like this

This was a pretty jazz-metal bump but I'm going to lock it now k.
