Interview Meshuggah - Tomas Haake (part 1) video free download

Bling Benny, numbers affect everything and can be seen to dictate aspects of whatever the subject may be. Messugah are a metal band, they inevitably jam and so I hear they have periods of writing alone but primarily mathematicians they are not, just like you have no rare insight with such cliche nonsense. They sound good because they know their material and are tight. Not maths, and certainly not "math".

I agree. I'm Swedish, use English daily/only, and you can hear which part I'm from... Probably tells you more about me than Tomas though :)

CareyPortnoyBeauford

good point actually. i didnt think about that

Robyn Withrow

"I moved on to cooookie jars" :)

That moment when a swedish man is better at speaking english than most people that speak english as their native tongue. Sverige vet hur det ska gå till!

zombicue

true but they may be talking about his near-perfect accent

Eirik Skogstad Andreassen

"Fluent" doesn't necessitate "good". Most scandinavians have quite the special accents. Haake on the other hand, speaks and writes English very good. It's almost impossible to hear that he is actually Swedish.

SordidDawn

He writes all of Meshuggah's lyrics, of course his English is good.

If I didn't know he was Swedish before watching this, I would've just thought he was American. But why are 95% of the population of Sweden fluent in English, compared to other non English speaking countries?

Pseudo Nym

I don't think it's at all surprising that his English is so good. It surprises me a bit though of how little of an accent he appears to have.

Well, what we consider lazy is probably nothing compared to what he considers lazy.

kirk dudey

75% of the chicks give bjs and 95% of ppl speak english..Those odds are better then america these days. Sign me up!

he says that he is lazy but mårten and jens said that he was a professor in every subject and a doctor in drums

@Dungarth It's the pronounciation. Being fluent means nothing. Extremely few Swedes can speak in as convincing an accent as Tomas does.

PaddyHarrison1986

He speaks far better English than most English people. And I'm English.

antibulletdodger101

@Emikropz are you kidding me.. basically everyone here speaks fluent english, something I´ve never come across in other non-english speaking countries

zzy177

after all English is one of the most if not THE most spoken language in the world

manan dedhia

God takes drum lessons from Tomas......

Emikropz

Wow, his english is good.. surprisingly as he's swede

Crescendo

I will have to quote myself because people still go on about a false statement that has been thumbed up for some reason: "I've seen more Swedes talking horrible English than those perfectly fluent at it. "omg Haake is Swedish so all of us are fluent in English!11" "
