"Born in Winter" - Gojira REACTION

Insert GoT meme.
All rights: Gojira

[@impulseLG]

YES! Born in Winter at last. You just made my day. F*****g love this song. For the story (everything is better with a story), last year my parents were curious and asked me to introduce them to the noisy music I'm listening to (their only references are from the sixties). I played this song for them and they genuinely loved it. I had to play it several times.Their first reaction was "that guitar player is a machine...and the singer...he's a bit angry, no?" BTW, I was born in winter.

[@XtremeKillah101]

Your parents became metalheads from that day forward xD

[@chessbrainiac]

And...2 months later...and I finally get to this! Have to say that I fell in love with the song when you painted it. That atmosphere they create throughout...just fantastic. Thanks to your videos, Gojira sold 3 more albums, and probably more when I have digested those 3.

[@DannyPhilipsen]

This is probably one of my favourite songs by Gojira! It's amazing!

[@alisue4426]

"In the winter cold with open eyes.. you'll find the strength to fight and stand up right" Gah! the more and more I hear this song, the more and more I love it. I found myself playing it on repeat. It has something powerful. hits the soul. these guys are just brilliant!

[@xxTheMinecraftNation]

Backbone by gojira it has probably my favorite and heaviest riff I've heard from them it's amazing

[@MoraAzura]

TheUn4gIVen HELL YEAH

[@FUBAR]

backbone is incredible

[@ATthemusician]

Same, I'm glad I've seen that live twice (; wish they would play stuff from Terra and the link more often

[@fonzmoreno9500]

Your videos are great and I like the way you articulate the song. This is possibly my favorite song by them and I found myself just closing my eyes and listening just as you were. Keep it up brutha 👍

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

+Fonz Moreno Thank you! Yes! I'm not such a fan of speaking while the music is playing. Nothing against those that do, I just wouldn't want to miss that one second that the artist intended for you to hear!

[@eyalvogel182]

This song actually have one of the best videos. EVER. Don't know who recommended you watch it without it but its a shame you didn't get to react to that. Thanks for this tho!

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

Eyal Vogel I have had a few issues with official videos being blocked or pulled down. You just never know. I did watch it and it is very freaking cool!!

[@eyalvogel182]

Oh I see, well I just didnt want you to miss out on that. So cheers!

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

Eyal Vogel thanks for making sure! Sure as hell don't mind that my friend!

[@divided123]

That chorus is one of my favorite Gojira moments. The build up to "The day you come to life you'll realize". Love the vocal delivery there and the wall of sound that comes in.

[@kingmetalant]

Great choice! One of my first songs I loved by this band!

[@ccarsona2]

This song creeps up on you. Listen the first time, 'Yeah, that was pretty interesting, I guess." Day later, walking along, there it is, played out in your head! OK, go back, listen again. It's more hypnotic, more melancholic. Few more time, and it's arresting, consuming. I disagree about the singing. There's a particular control/restraint and emotion, and a tone very much like Leonard Cohen. Lots of impact.

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

+C Carson I can see what you're saying! Great Cohen comparison. I mentioned that he definitely serves the song but my following comments may have sounded negative! Not my intention because this is awesome!!! Thanks Carson!

[@Koroar]

That smile when it got heavy :D Cool vids man

[@ThaTruth223]

now for low lands by gojira,One of the better songs and one of their very underrated and underappreciated songs

[@Paddaccini]

ThaTruth223 hell yeah. Low Lands is one of my favorite songs from Gojira. Very underrated and underappreciated songs in my opinion as well!

[@alisue4426]

ThaTruth223 yes! And when I learned the album was dedicated to their mom, and then I listened to the lyrics again.. I may have cried like a baby

[@davidsimpson2560]

That song brings tears to my eyes almost every time.

[@v616sirius]

The whole magma album is underrated

[@FoolForRespect]

Good talk afterwards. It took me a loooong time to get into this album. But after it gets you, oh boy. There's some 'natural' on this album, they've always had that but on L'Enfant Sauvage it's somehow more pure and not so raw as they used to be. Which was the problem for in the first place. On this song when the distortion hits, Joe's vocals give the chills. He has never sounded so good, so desperate and sad. I already put sugges on this vid, but pfft here i go again. Might recommended this before, "In The Forest (The Link Alive)" and watch the video which is 6 minutes long. There's Mario's very cool drum solo which leads into the song. The song is very different from what they did on their two first albums. Have a great day, or night. I'm off to work now ☕☕☕

[@corosta]

2:28 .... you're hooked hahahaha !

[@antivalidisme5669]

Hey Thank you for the Bday present Beau, though I hadn't been able to listen to your awesome pick yesterday. So yeah technically I was born in summer that sucks!

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

Raphaël Dordeins happy birthday!!!

[@antivalidisme5669]

TY so much mate!

[@paulob.849]

The fucking atmosphere

[@vvn933]

Great reaction! I'll always like Gojira no matter how they change/if they do. Many people go away from a band when they start to sing more than growling/screaming, but it's easy to forget that they're only human, the voice box can only take some much over the years lol! You should check out "Machine head - Locust". They're not quite gojira, but the song is great live... There's a few good versions on here I believe. Great job!

[@WakeatheDead]

love your thought and review after listening it, great video!

[@WesternMace]

great choice of song :D

[@theone132435]

YES!!!! Great choice!!!

[@TundraCH]

Im loving Plini right now, listen to all of his songs everyday so im requesting Paper Moon once again, gotta do it man!

[@alexanderhorvath9193]

I don't like to spam request songs. However, song of the golden dragon by Esstas tonne is incredible.

[@coolman1789]

I think my favorite song from gojira is still ocean planet, I don't think I've seen anyone react to it yet.

[@MeadowOiOiOiOi]

So different among their other music. Watched the music video tripping. So bad ass and beautiful all wrapped in one.

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

quinn punxy I began a new segment where I paint to music. I covered this song:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5LCqpyleaifr8k

[@MeadowOiOiOiOi]

Idk if you'd be into this seeing your music selection... But you should check out La dispute and touché amoré.

[@impulseLG]

Now that you've reacted to Born in Winter, I won't stop harassing you, I'll hold my breath and stop breathing until you listen to the song Satan is a Lawyer. As someone in the comments put it "it is the filthiest most demonic shit I have ever heard". Then my mission on Earth will be complete. Well, that and learning the solo from TBDM's Nightbringers. And a few other things.

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

impulseLG lmao you are awesome dude

[@TheAskald]

impulseLG Yeah this is so fucking heavy in the end, even for Gojira standards

[@vassilli1337]

Gojira a sight to behold please it is Sooo good

[@Paddaccini]

Check out "Lizard Skin" (live Vieilles Charrues Festival) by Gojira next. I get goosebumps every time i hear the intro to that song. Also, i dont know if you are familiar with Avenged Sevenfold, but you should check out their song "A Little Piece of Heaven". Music video or Live at LBC. Which ever you choose

[@Ochin2011]

Steven wilson - a door marked summer

[@joellarsson6573]

That’s a fucking awesome intro

[@LuredBySirens]

I think I am fucked in the head. I just read that album title as "l'Infant Sausage". Great song though with a great opinion at the end. Check out Byzantine "Justinian Code" if you get a chance - I think you'll dig it.

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

LuredBySirens lmao

[@davidsimpson2560]

Explosia is another exceptional song off this album.

[@Celatra]

Gift of guilt

[@atleast400demogorgons3]

I'd love to see you react to The Helix Nebula. Instrumental prog metal. They don't have any official videos, but there's a play through video of the song Sailing Stone (featuring Plini).

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

I'm new, if you haven't done pain is a master and mouth of kala, could you? This whole album is a masterpiece, actually.

[@dangerx7697]

As I said previously a minute or two ago. Period. They cannot perform this song live that's why you will never have the KZbin copyright problems with born in winter

[@georgereader8878]

Strapping Young Lad - SYL

[@FoolForRespect]

Was going through bands i listened to this summer. And find a great suggestion for you, because i've understood you are a fan of Mastodon. Check out "Big Business - Lonely Lyle" They toured together with Mastodon, don't remember when. Big Business is a big influence for Mastodon. Don't know how known Big Business is there, but here it seems only few know them. You will definetly like it! I'm not going to recommend any of the live versions, because i haven't seen them myself. But there's a audio track video.

[@not_a_samsquamsh6777]

Should do The Way Of All Flesh at Garorock 2009

[@lionheart01]

DA BEST ONE BRUH

[@Kartagoooo]

Bordeaux 2009 has an even better version in my opinion :D It also has the best versions of Oroborus (together with Eurokeennes 2009) which should definitely be checked out. :)

[@lionheart01]

godamn clonnnnne kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHi2n4aaZZKLkK8

[@not_a_samsquamsh6777]

If you're still paying attention to this thread Beau, I just watched the afformentioned Bordeaux show. It seems like better sound quality and video quality is at the Bordeaux show, while Garorock has better camera work but has an annoying level of visual editing doneto the videos. But hey, it's music we care about, right? Bordeaux gets the recommendation from me, but both are excellent.

[@EvoSvex]

He will love this one

[@psychosis345]

From the Sky! and Ruination by JOB for a Cowboy

[@goonercestlavie]

🙏🌨❄⛄Chef-d'oeuvre

[@MoraAzura]

Fucking brillant. Listen to Fire is Everything by Gojira ( live )

[@Adudus]

Love your face at 2:28 😁

[@transient442]

Please do the live version of world to come. It's a really underrated song. It's even more different from their usual sound than born in winter.

[@ControllerOfMinds]

My favourite song of the band! 😀 Still recommending Enslaved to you - Riitiir and/or The Watcher

[@gokhanozbakr2119]

Gojira-Oroborus you should listen :P

[@FoolForRespect]

Oh nice, Gojira-time! Gonna check this in the morning before work, as always ;) Did the Jon Gomm video get blocked or? Managed to see it and leaved a suggestion on it. I'll post it again if you missed it. It was "Cult of Luna - Ghost Trail live at London." They are an eight-piece post-rock / post-metal band from Sweden, yes - eight(8)-piece haha. There's a vocalist, guitarist/vocalist, two other guitarists, bass player, keyboard/electronic stuff dude and two drummers. Also for a Gojira suggestion: "Death Of Me (The Link Alive)"

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

Sadly, Jon Gomm did get pulled!

[@harrymanback5133]

Thank you ;)

[@chaney22]

Could you react to as I lay dying a greater foundation! Killer song and wandering what you though about it!

[@ricardo_gfo5174]

Nice! Can you do a reaction to Gackt - Arrow ? Gackt is amazing i never heard any bad commentary about him 😁

[@vincentforest4074]

I actually think his vocals are amazing on this song! He can hit very low notes

[@Kaos1989]

You should do Blow Me Away the You-niverse live from Gojira this song and the ending will put you into a trance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYqspodjn6d5bNk or Gojira Born in the Forest kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX_QgKapjdWqY5I

[@WesternMace]

Your devin townsend higher video was blocked in canada :(

[@BeauCardwellReacts]

I know buddy/= I'm sorry!!! I thought the song was an absolute journey. It took you through a tug-of-war journey of spiritual planes. Absolutely mind-blowing!

[@kingadalou]

Watch the video on your own time. Its pretty cool

[@ThaTruth223]

fucking finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Malkovith2]

New Leprous album is out. Just sayin'

[@allensaunders449]

I keep seeing in musicsl comment sections that some people seem to force themselves to like certain music took me months etc. That's stupid no music should take you that long to like. People like that think they are ahead of the curve and we are better then you because we like this bands unique sound not talking abiut this band but in general. Maybe the music you are forcing yourself to like is really crap

[@dangerx7697]

Yeah it sucks you can't ever see him perform that song live. Cuz of the tuning and the fact that it has to be at such low volumes live show you wouldn't be able to hear it course that's coming from Joe himself so. But it's an awesome song nevertheless

[@skoals]

react on Code Orange "Forever" if u like Gojira

[@pooplup111]

Hello there, you should check out "in the shadow of our pale companion" by agalloch. Amazing song. This song is awesome as well. Really shows Gojiras depth of musicianship in my opinion.
