Yo!
I don´t know if this information of the band can be located elsewhere on this forum and shit but I will take the fall if it allready is.
Anyway, I made my usuall stop at the little "7 eleven"-kinda shop on my way to work and grabbed a copy of Close Up Magazine with Meshuggah in it. It was the regular promoting chats about the new album and so on... But I read something funny about the old song "I" and how they recorded it. Maybe I´m the last to know this even though I´m a long-way-back-fan but what the heck. Tomas actually just played drums out of thin air sort of speak, hit the record button and just fired away. Then afterwards Fredrik sat down and made like hundreds of papers with "one stroke there" and "two strokes there" and worked out the riffs/notes. I know a similar thing was done in the Special Defects album when Ågren was using only the snare and hi-hat making random hits blended with ghostnotes, but this time the whole song was made like this. I just thought you would like to know and I can actually see Mr. Thordendal´s lazy ass sitting down scratching his head going "uhm..." with a big pile of paper, in my head![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
and.. I quote: "...and when it was time for Fredrik to record he had placed all the papers on a big big table so he could remember"
