Arab Man Reacts to GOJIRA - L'Enfant Sauvage [LIVE at Red Rocks]

Habibati! Bonjour! Bonsoir! Ca va? That's right! Our journey takes us to France with the MASSIVE, CRUSHING Gojira! This band blew me away! Their sound is so original, and they are just so f%($*#)% heavyyyy! I'm sorta glad they don't sing in French, because I'm not sure how that would've affected the heaviness of it all, although with a title like 'L'Enfant Sauvage' they almost tricked me!
Am I late to the Gojira party? I feel like I should've heard about them at this point.
Apparently Joey said that he's going to be expanding my palette a bit over the next few weeks. We're going heavy, and we're going international, and we're going to try to see what really makes all these varying sounds so universal.
Let me know in the comments what specific bands or songs you want me to check out and I'll point Joey in that direction.

Gojira - The Gift of Guilt (live at Brixton Academy)

[@SandraNelson063]

These guys are old time Metal royalty. I think they've been grinding it out for about twenty years now. They seem to know what they're doing. Their drummer is a GOD.

[@theatomicpirategirl]

There is something about Gojira that makes me know that I’m listening to one of their songs. Like, I could have never heard the song, but the opening guitar riffs and I’m like “yeah, that’s Gojira.” Their tone is specifically unique to them. There is no question who you are listening to when one of their songs come on. Great video!

[@DukeYome2]

Gojira is probably my favorite band, and this song have a particular flavor to me. As my wife was painfully giving birth, after 19h of work, doctors pushed me out from the room as they had to do quickly a cesarean, they baby started to get tired apparently... It happened so fast, I didn't really understood what was happening, neither did my wife. In 20 seconds I just ended up alone in a room waiting for news from a nurse. I took my earphones, choosed the first Gojira song I found and played this song super loud again and again, trying to contain fear and not to think too much about what was going on, and about the fact that I can do nothing to help, until someone finally asked me to come. Things ended well, now my daughter is almost 2 YO, healthy and happy, and everytime I listen to this song I think about this day. I'm happy that you enjoyed this song too ;-) Cheers from France !

[@lisajohnson521]

Oh the disrespect... LOL There is no "processing" on Joe's voice. It's a vocal technique. Also, if Joey looks like Jean Michel- Joey is fine as hell!!! :0)

[@raffysg1990]

I actually think there is some reverb but other then that. That’s pretty much just pure joe

[@katharineblowers5574]

He does put effects on his voice all the time

[@The7empest]

@@katharineblowers5574 not all the time, there’s maybe 5 songs, maybe less I can’t think of all of them right now, where he very distinctly is using an actual effect on the vocals

[@FlipperWolf]

I mean there's also quite a lot of autotune in there to be honest. You can hear the difference between a polished live video like this one and a pure live performance where his voice fucks up way more often.

[@jez_77]

@@FlipperWolf Not really, thats not autotune, Joe has a lot of control in his pitch while screaming, he is a really talented vocalist although due to his unique technique and effort he puts into live shows, sometimes during shows late in the tour his voice cracks or he struggles to get higher notes cause his throat is just exhausted. If this one was autotuned or polished it would be perfect, but its not, there are slight imperfections here and there still

[@pasza_dem]

Good pick, Gojira is one the best modern metal band... if not the best in last 20 years!!! There is much more to discover, and sound production on this show at Redrocks 2017 is epic, also recommend Polandrock 2018 show to react!

[@The_OEK]

Gojira at Red Rocks - PRAY, please. This song is a masterpiece.

[@alyssacrnkovic2691]

I would love a reaction to Seventh Wonder from their live in Atlanta show (the song Welcome to Mercy Falls is a great place to start, but every song is phenomenal). Also Katatonia with their song Forsaker, either album version or live version from the DVD Last Fair Day Gone Night, both are awesome. That song is a great intro to know what they're all about, and I am ADDICTED to their new album

[@antivalidisme5669]

You got a Gojira city, it's called Bayonne. Between France, Spain and Basque country, by the Atlantic and not far from the Pyrenees, aka Gojira's territory. My birthplace, their birthplace. Plus we have Vauban fortification if anything goes wrong (you never know)! Please check songs like "Clone", "The Art of Dying" or " The heaviest matter of the universe" to name a few. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun listening to them. My best friend during my preparatory school- many, many decades ago to be frank- was from Beyrouth and we shared a lot musically speaking, at a time Kurt Kobain was about to die. Souvenirs. Cheers!

[@christopherblowers443]

First! My favorite band. I have the magma CD signed by the whole band.

Other than maybe some reverb and stuff, the distortion on Joe's voice is completely natural, it's a vocal technique he uses, and he even admits that it isnt the healthiest technique. But this "melodic screaming" has become a staple for their music.
