BigPleb: Gojira Vs Meshuggah

BigPleb 01.08.14	Do have a lot of love for both bands but their fanbases seem pretty divided to me. Either fanbase is always shitting on each other and I find that quite strange. I'm sure there are many users here who enjoy Meshuggah and don't like Gojira and vice versa. Let me know what you guys think anyway, was a list I felt compelled to post for some reason lol.
conesmoke 01.08.14	like them both but i believe meshuggah > gojira
BigPleb 01.08.14	Agreed, do you find it strange that they are constantly compared dude?
conesmoke 01.08.14	yeh, i can't see why they'd be compared. 2 very different forms of heavy music.
BigPleb 01.08.14	Both are so good live too, seen em both but, again, Meshuggah edge it slightly.
conesmoke 01.08.14	mine was on the other hand
BigPleb 01.08.14	Its not a comparison on my behalf dude, the metal community seems to compare them. Just trying to bring light on the situation :]
GnarlyShillelagh 01.08.14	mesh > gojira but gozilla > both and also both < other stuff that is better
BigPleb 01.08.14	Na man even my friends do it haha, its the 'they are both batshit heavy' comparison mostly.
NightProwler 01.08.14	I saw both bands the same day back in 2012, both were enormous live. Gojira is the band that stuck with me, however, and they definitely delivered the best show. Meshuggah, I never really have been a fan of.
Necrotica 01.08.14	Gojira by the hugest landslide in the universe
Necrotica 01.08.14	I can't stand Meshuggah or the djent bullshit they influenced
BigPleb 01.08.14	They rule live for, Heaviest Matter was fucking colossal sounding live.
conesmoke 01.08.14	you're wrong fiveleaves.. Meshuggah are VERY different to the djent bullshit they influenced.
Necrotica 01.08.14	I didn't say they sounded strictly the same though. I just said I can't stand either of them
conesmoke 01.08.14	Djent sucks bigtime. Meshuggah rules.
BigPleb 01.08.14	Agreed, always get lumped in with Periphery and that's just ugh.
Keyblade 01.08.14	Both are equally boring to me
BigPleb 01.08.14	23 comments in and the first 'boring bands' remark, expected it earlier tbh haha. Fully understandable, Key.
ILJ 01.08.14	Like Meshuggah a lot better. I've always found Gojira to be pretty boring though I respect what they do. It just doesn't click with me.
tempest-- 01.08.14	shug > not even close for me Gojira are alright but Kidman and co. are on another level
BigPleb 01.08.14	Find it weird how I'm one of the only ones who notices the silly comparison, guess its just my weird friends and festival compadres haha.
conesmoke 01.08.14	dude if you're the only one in your posse actively listening to heavy music it's really not that surprising.
conesmoke 01.08.14	my friends wouldn't be able to differentiate death from converge from DEP from emperor...
BigPleb 01.08.14	But even reviewers when they talk about a 'distinctive' sound bring up these two bands and compare, its strange.
conesmoke 01.08.14	well they're clearly misguided and as such the value of their opinion must be questioned if the overall goal is to 'keep it real'
BigPleb 01.08.14	Hi fti :]
undertakerpt 01.08.14	Meshuggah is such a band Good idea - Sniffing flowers Bad idea - Snorting flowers
Necrotica 01.08.14	Good idea - Touching a woman's heart Bad idea - Touching little kids
conesmoke 01.08.14	good idea - not listening to taylor swift bad idea - listening to taylor swift
SpiritCrusher2 01.08.14	well both bands rely heavily on heavy and groovy riffs. Gojira just does it with less polyriythmic/polymetric shit, more melody and in a lot higher tuning? lol idk, I'm just trying to see similarities, but there aren't many
SpiritCrusher2 01.08.14	and yes, Meshuggah > Gojira, but they're both great
BigPleb 01.08.14	Full of wisdom, Spirit.
Keyblade 01.08.14	Pleb not saying they're bad, but they just don't do anything for me. Meshuggah moreso, so maybe I was wrong with equally haha
BigPleb 01.08.14	You're entitled to your opinion bb
tommygun 01.08.14	haven't heard gojira but meshuggah are shite so gojira by default :D
conesmoke 01.08.14	why you say such things t-gun?
tempest-- 01.08.14	Meshuggah rule your butt just wasn't ready yet
tommygun 01.08.14	did i mention i'm gay
Rowan5215 01.08.14	I heard a Meshuggah song once
tempest-- 01.08.14	dude you have to be gayer than gay i.e. a metalhead heh
CalculatingInfinity 01.08.14	Meshuggah > Gojira anyday. As Lloyd said, they're on another level.
conesmoke 01.08.14	it's basically gay squared.
Dolving999 01.08.14	Both bands are great. I tend to listen more to Gojira, though.
conesmoke 01.08.14	is that because they're trying to save the whales?
KILL 01.08.14	which 1 made dei o yea dumb question
TheGreatQ 01.08.14	I like Gojira better, I've never been able to get into Meshuggah. Oh, and it's already been said ITT but Gojira really does rule live
evilford 01.08.14	mesh rules gojira drools
MO 01.08.14	both bands focus more on rhythm than anything else. that's the only comparison. meshuggah obliterates them.
conesmoke 01.08.14	probs the biggest no-brainer list i've seen recently.
Necrotica 01.08.14	"fiveleaves must not metal correctly" Hey, not my fault that Meshuggah's a steaming pile of goat shit
KILL 01.08.14	ioi
conesmoke 01.08.14	tastiest goat shit i've ever heard......
tempest-- 01.08.14	brendan check dei bro
Solaire 01.08.14	Meshuggah, and I get the whole compare the heavy sounding bands thing. Don't agree with it, but people usually find one similarity and kill eachother based which niche is better.
conesmoke 01.08.14	nah, catch 33.
evilford 01.08.14	dei or dei agreed
conesmoke 01.08.14	yeah catch 33 or die
MO 01.08.14	nothing or nothing
conesmoke 01.08.14	oh snap.
KILL 01.08.14	rather have nothing thanks wait
BigPleb 01.08.14	sup kill
evilford 01.08.14	dei or chaosphere or nothing or catch 33 or die agred
conesmoke 01.08.14	basically if you voted gojira the general census is that you should.. well.. die.
adr 01.08.14	Meshuggah are borring, аlthough they are more technical on the guitars and maybe more talented aswell.. but.. eh, they are just borring for me.Jens vocals get rly annoying after 5-6 songs. I like more Gojira.
conesmoke 01.08.14	couldn't give a fuck how many other guitarists are more/less talented. They cultivated a cool idea musically that no other band has managed to properly replicate. bands have tried but they all sound weak in comparison.
adr 01.08.14	"bands have tried but they all sound weak in comparison" this is true, yeah.
Emyay 01.08.14	both bands are great. i like meshuggah better though. i have still yet to see gojira live. i really want to though
BigPleb 01.08.14	They rule live.
evilford 01.08.14	after about ten minutes I can't tell if I'm listening to a gojira album or the teacher from Peanuts
Emyay 01.08.14	the way of all flesh has some killer tracks
mindleviticus 01.08.14	meshuggah
SirDrumsalot 01.08.14	Gojira wins this comparison for me. Easily.
conesmoke 01.08.14	you've gotta be kidding... with a name like sirDRUMSalot
MO 01.08.14	haake > mario agreed
Nafain 01.08.14	meshuggah wins
joshuahuntkc 01.08.14	I've never really heard a Meshuggah Gojira comparison but I have heard plenty to Dillinger and Meshuggah comparisons
conesmoke 01.08.14	preposterous.
MO 01.08.14	which is even more bizarre
joshuahuntkc 01.08.14	I don't know. Dillinger and Meshuggah have a lot in common from a music theory standpoint. It actually makes sense to me. Jens and Ben actually did an interview together back in like 2002 I believe where they talk about it.
SirDrumsalot 01.08.14	"Haake > Mario" Thats hilarious.
qiblas 01.08.14	Meshuggah I have one Gojira album that was given to me... I never listen to it.
evilford 01.08.14	"Thats hilarious" it's hilarious to think that it would even be close yeah
slimdaddy 01.08.14	I've heard this comparison a few times now, I feel like if you like one you normally like the other. Maybe that's just me
conesmoke 01.08.14	probs just you man.
VolcanoDay 01.08.14	I prefer Gojira because there's a more emotional edge to their music. Meshuggah are great, but there's more coldness to it (that's the point, but it's not as much to my taste). And Mario > Haake
conesmoke 01.08.14	Duplantier does absolutely kick ass in 'from the sky'. The ending is astonishing, however, Haake's drumming style has a feel like NO other.
conesmoke 01.08.14	And Beyonce's got one of the greatest music videos of all time!
MO 01.08.14	man the end of from the sky is probably my favourite gojira moment
Amphoteric 01.08.14	I hate Meshuggah so I'm gonna go with Gojira
conesmoke 01.08.14	@MO, it's pretty damn fantastic, all those cymbal hits ringing in and out in perfect rhythm, as he catches them at deliciously tasty intervals.
Duckman118 01.08.14	I like meshugahh, but they are grossly overrated and their fan base won't shut the fuck up about how much better they are for listening to "tru djent". Seriously, elitist scum is all they are.
conesmoke 01.08.14	Meshuggah > Duckman118
BigPleb 01.08.14	Turned into a constructive thread wow
conesmoke 01.08.14	yeah until duckman chimed in and queefed up the place... with his elitism...
BigPleb 01.08.14	He's called Duckman dude, jokes on him.
DrHouseSchuldiner 01.08.14	Meshuggah duh
MO 01.08.14	"yeah until duckman chimed in and queefed up the place... with his elitism..." it's ok he can keep his devil wears prada and leave the big boys bands to us
evilford 01.08.14	4.5 superb After The Burial Rareform As I Lay Dying An Ocean Between Us August Burns Red Constellations August Burns Red Messengers August Burns Red Rescue and Restore Born Of Osiris The Discovery Demon Hunter True Defiance Exquisite work indeed. mmm yes quite fancy i may add. Korn See You on the Other Side Korn Follow the Leader My Heart to Fear Algorithm Sleeping Giant Kingdom Days In An Evil Age Slipknot All Hope Is Gone System of a Down Toxicity The Empire Shall Fall Solar Plexus Times of Grace The Hymn of a Broken Man Wolves At The Gate Captors wow no need to even make fun of this guy
Negator 01.08.14	no way dont evr fux w the polyrhythms
apert 01.08.14	Meshuggah suck hard and never heard Gojira, but if they're similar they probably suck as well
Negator 01.08.14	foh
Ending 01.09.14	Meshuggah > Gojira for me. I like both, but Meshuggah has an atmosphere about their music that feels truly "heavy" whereas Gojira never really gives me that same feeling. If listening to a Meshuggah album is running a mile, listening to a Gojira album is walking three miles; the former has a better "pacing" in their albums, while the latter feels like they just try to exhaust the listener.
MikeC26 01.09.14	Meshuggah yeah
Relinquished 01.09.14	list sucks just for even comparing meshuggah to anything lower
Nocturnal 01.09.14	Meshuggah although both bands excel at the same thing, being boring.
Necrotica 01.09.14	"Meshuggah > Gojira for me. I like both, but Meshuggah has an atmosphere about their music that feels truly "heavy" whereas Gojira never really gives me that same feeling. If listening to a Meshuggah album is running a mile, listening to a Gojira album is walking three miles; the former has a better "pacing" in their albums, while the latter feels like they just try to exhaust the listener." I swear I'm listening to a different Mushuggah and a different Gojira than everyone else is
Trebor. 01.09.14	I don't like either band so I don't care
Rowan5215 01.09.14	"I don't like either band so I don't care" So you could just not comment on the list then
tempest-- 01.09.14	you don't get to 40k posts by not commenting bro
Rowan5215 01.09.14	Don't encourage him
SitarHero 01.09.14	Lloyd with the FIRE!
BigPleb 01.09.14	Hehe
thumbcrusher 01.09.14	gojira cause more feels heh. as people who have subsequently been corrected have said meshuggah are a bit cold for me, they're impressive and everything but i just enjoy gojira far more.
thumbcrusher 01.09.14	yeh they give me the tingles
wacknizzle 01.09.14	neither are that good, but Meshuggah is better
lovelybloodflow 01.09.14	^^^
Necrotica 01.09.14	"do you want fucking "feels" from your metal you fag" Yup, and Meshuggah sucks donkey dongs at providing them
lovelybloodflow 01.09.14	yeah we get it you dont like Meshuggah, enough with the eighth grade analogies
Necrotica 01.09.14	Enough with asking to be banned so you can be a dickish alt
BigPleb 01.09.14	Oooh damn
wacknizzle 01.09.14	oh snap
BigPleb 01.09.14	where the fuck have you been wack?
wacknizzle 01.09.14	trying to off myself and hoping you and my other buds on sput are fucking okay
lovelybloodflow 01.09.14	we love you
Pennywise_M 01.09.14	I like Gojira, but Meshuggah man, Meshuggah.
Emyay 01.09.14	neither really bring the feels but both bring the riffs hard. meshuggah just do it on a more consistent basis. plus they've been around a lot longer
musicalmedicine 01.10.14	I like both bands but I'll go with Gojira, their sound is much more eclectic and that appeals to me, few metal bands are as innovative musically as Gojira.
chemicalmarriage 01.10.14	no contest. Meshuggah
tempest-- 01.11.14	"few metal bands are as innovative musically as Gojira"
tempest-- 01.11.14	HAVE YOU FUCKING HEARD MESHUGGAH
BigPleb 01.11.14	lloyd, calm it :[
CK 01.11.14	Saw Meshuggah live, they were amazing. Been dying to see Gojira live. Meshuggah's easily better
musicalmedicine 01.11.14	Of course I did Lloyd. They're inventive rhythmically, of course, sometimes I can't even headbang to their music because of the complexity of their songs. But c'mon, Meshuggah have little melody to their songs. Gojira always knows how to keep things different and interesting. Pretty much an opinion though, we all gotta respect each other, otherwise we're all tools.
BigPleb 01.11.14	OI, less of that!
tempest-- 01.11.14	sup dude :D
BigPleb 01.11.14	Sup straya buddy
tempest-- 01.11.14	they just had 5 eps of arrested development on in a row I had never seen it before but it's like the best show ever
BigPleb 01.11.14	don't really watch TV dude :/
tempest-- 01.11.14	no way :-0
BigPleb 01.11.14	Jam music 24/7 lol literally! Na but I dig my movies, watched Cabin in the Woods last night again, cool movie.
tempest-- 01.11.14	ah yea I liked the premise and the big twist but the actual movie could have been much better imo I bought lock stock & two smoking barrels but I haven't watched it yet
BigPleb 01.11.14	It was different for a horror movie, highlighted the cliches and executed em really well imo. Lol dude you have to see it, watch Snatch too m/
osmark86 01.11.14	if you haven't seen lock stock yet, get on it right now lloyd. either way, easy: Meshuggah
tempest-- 01.11.14	It's like 3am I'll do it tomorrow
musicalmedicine 01.11.14	We're all fags for having different opinions, guys! :D
Flugmorph 01.28.15	love them both
