Sevenstring.org Interview: Mårten Hagstrom of Meshuggah

Sevenstring.org: First off Mårten, Sevenstring.org would like to thank you very much for taking time out your busy schedule to answer some questions for all us 7-string nuts here. You have a lot of fans here, as well as those who are curious about Meshuggah's music.

Mårten Hagstrom: That's awesome man. Hope I can give some intelligible answers though.

SS:: What inspired you to pick up an extended range instrument?

...

By far, this is the best 'shuggah interview I've read. Well done Allan & thank you Marten!

What a cool guy! Thanks a lot Dendro for taking the time to do this!

Hey thanks everyone, I'm glad I'm able to contribute to this fine site. This place is without question my favorite website, and although I don't make alot of posts, I always stop here every day. There's such a great vibe with a really cool bunch of people, and just a wealth of info here for anyone who loves extended range guitar.
I'll give Marten a shout and let him know it's up, so he can drop by and see it.

Oh, and now as Marten said what we need to do about Ibanez:
A CALL TO ARMS!! (sort of)

EVERYONE!! TIME TO START MAILBOMBING IBANEZ ABOUT A MESH/RG 8!
We keep getting little teaser prototypes, and neverending buzz - let's at least try to organize some sort of mass petition for this. Someone get the right email addy, and let's get at it!

just count me in dude

Great interview! Good job guys!

Killer interview! No one ever asks them about their gear and stuff; its about time someone did hehe. Nice work Al!

(someone might should change the title to Mårten Hagström, as thats his name ;D)

thanks Ryan, right you are for the typo, my eye skipped right over it the first time. I just mailed Chris to change it.

It won't hurt to try

An Ibby 8-string with piezo I NEED IIIIIT !


Anyway, thanks a lot : great interview

And we've really got to try the mail-bomb action...

Very fucking cool. Great interview. Another Line 6 user quite satisfied with his amp.
