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 - 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 |

01.08.14 | ioi |

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 |

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 |

Easily. |

01.08.14 | haake > mario agreed |

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... |

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. |

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. |

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. |
