I can never tell if Brad's moving to the music, or has no choice as Lex bounces the sofa around the room.

[@jhamilton1007]

It's usually the latter. lol

Brad moves to the same beat regardless of the song.. 😂

Flying Whales by Gojira🖤

yes!

Lex would be a fun companion to go to a metal concert with because she gets so into it. That energy just makes the experience better.

Flying Whales (album version) for an epic prog journey with an explosive finish. Remembrance (live) for a taste of their older stuff. Oroborus, Explosia, Esoteric Surgery for the beginner Gojira ear. Lowlands, Born in winter, Shooting Star for chill Gojira.

[@deadbydawn702]

Dude they need to do pray live from red rocks! Incredible display of musicianship

[@sharkattack1231]

Born in winter is soooo good

[@wt8213]

This guy gets it.

[@cgf7973]

Glad you ere digging gojira, they have some really deep messages in their music. In all honesty they are probably the best modern day metal act around, live they are just fire, just enjoy it for the incredible musicianship alone and yes flying whales has to be sooner or later its trippy bit well worth it

[@mbangroo]

yes they are :)

[@geoffmillhouse5403]

Love this band!! They really don’t have any bad songs

[@NecroGrin]

Such an awesome band. Try one of these next! Gift of Guilt (Live at the Brixton) Flying Whales Silvera Stranded

Super glad you're enjoying Gojira! Highly recommend you check out their song "Esoteric Surgery". Reckon you'll find the lyrics interesting there too :)!

[@btemp2003]

Yes! My fav Gojira song.

[@annettespradlin4945]

Same here!

[@jasonvelliquette9058]

You guys TOTALLY need to do Vacuity from Gojira next. Brad will for sure dig it.

[@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents]

Yes! One of my favs for sure.

[@Jarachif]

Great song by them!!

[@metalgirlinthemaritimes]

You’re so right. Bars!! This song is one of my absolute favourites from them. A masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@someguy7526]

This, silvera, flying whales and L'Enfant Sauvage are my favs 🔥😎

[@Blitzyduder]

Gojira is the first band I've gotten into so heavy since the days I first heard of Metallica, Megadeth and Sepultura in the late 80's. I mean they are on a non-stop revolving playlist now, i just cant stop. This is exactly what the next generation of heavy metal should sound like. The influence of previous mentioned bands is clearly audible in their music yet they sound nothing like them. The riffs are just so fresh and heavy, so aggressive yet musical, the drums are so fucking good, the bass hard hitting. The vocals diverse with lyrical content so befitting the times. I kind of miss the awesome guitarsolo sometimes but the breakdowns , switch ups and outro's are so damn hard hitting you don't even notice they hardly play solo's. I guess I also really like its a band where the singer is also the rhythm guitar player like previous mentioned bands. Plays so fucking tight! They are just great, love their evolution in albums where you can hear they don't just keep playing the same old stuff like a one trick pony but age and grow up and play the music they want to instead of just pleasing a hardcore fanbase.

[@guts9160]

I like solos but i think it doesnt fit in gojira

[@nacholibre6129]

Glad you guys found gojira, now you have to go back and check out the live versions of their songs. Gives you a whole new appreciation of Mario's drumming!

[@gene1131]

If you like the metaphysical/spiritual lyrics I'm sure you will enjoy Vacuity

[@anfie2495]

[@DennisTrovato]

Gotta do "The Gift Of Guilt" Live in Brixton

[@andy1982222]

The musician ship in this band is next level they somehow find a way to make everything shine nothing takes a back seat just love it

[@FoundSheep2010]

"I feel like I should be in a loincloth right now" lol Brad had me rolling

[@richmondharwood2338]

Gojira is NEXT level metal. Greatest band on the planet right now.

[@jglumi]

Gojira - Another World. They released that last year during the pandemic. Something easy to digest musically, buy still the lyrics are profound and devastating.

[@reaperstoker]

Another thing besides lyrical content Gojira and Tool have in common is 2 of the greatest drummers ever. Try Gojira - Flying Whales next.

[@brightdarkness420]

SOOOO glad your getting into gojira my favorite band !!!!

[@paburito9168]

Oh boy, Brad is gonna love Gojira's lyrics. Have fun getting into this amazing band. Wish I could do that once again tbh

[@scarce911]

I've got my tickets for an upcoming show..can't wait for my second Gojira live show..first time was with Slipknot, Volbeat, and behemoth

[@rmr5044]

My first time was with Meshuggah and TOOL. Freaking god tier festival

[@TheClinophobic]

Cool! I was at Knotfest too in Toronto and have had tickets to see Deftones, Gojira, Poppy since Feb 2020 but I'm not sure if this show will ever happen (though it's supposed to happen in 2022).

[@petkucius]

Gojira at Red rocks - PRAY. This one - I was laughing, I could not believe my ears. It made me so happy, you should check it out.

[@calibre97]

The Way of All Flesh (where this song is from) and From Mars to Sirius (which has Flying Whales) are albums like Master of Puppets and And Justice for All. You can just put them on song 1 and let them play while you're doing whatever...for me it's just walking but it could be anything because they're all really well put together albums as a whole. Gojira's latest, Fortitude, is another one with the great Chant a slowdown intermission if you will. And while we're at it, Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime (total 80s religion and corruption concept album extraordinaire). Anyway, that's all I have to say about that. I know there are tons more albums out there that are (best?) experienced in their totality, in order, but these are the ones I'm familiar with. Anyone else? Surely there are some Tool aficionados who can recommend...Slipknot?

[@xenonzx]

I absolutely love this dynamic, one of you is all about them lyrics and deciphering what everything means, then the other really feeling the instrumental and every sound. It’s dope. Love this a lot.

[@SuperGraynard]

The fact that y'all just jump straight into the song got you this sub, and the insight and enthusiasm got the notification button. Keep up the great videos!

Sooo happy for you 2 for discovering Gojira. Especially for you Brad. This is gonna be an awesome journey. Looking forward to the next one 🤘🙂🤘

[@lasciethiesing2219]

Love Gojira. Ive been following them for a while. These guys are so talented. They are one of the few metal bands where the vocalist doesnt ruin the amazing groove of the song. (For me). Love Lex's energy. You must take that girl to see Gojira live when the finally get around to touring with Deftones in 2022.

[@nathanmiller9918]

Had a feeling that Gojira would be a band for both of you.

[@rooster_205]

Great reaction and great energy! Gojira is a great band and has alot of deep lyrics in their songs.. Yall have a good one and keep up the positive vibes..

[@oscarrobertson5248]

I just wanted to say I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel. But particularly the way you're vibeing with the music Lex. It's great to see someone grooving and almost dancing to metal. I've been a big metal fan since I was a teenager, but I love all music. And a lot of the time when I'm at home and listen to songs like this I dance more than I head bang. And when I'm at a gig I'm a huge mosh pit fan, but I'd love to see more people just grooving to the music if that's what they wanna do, as I know it's certainly something I feel inclined to do but feel out of place doing at a gig.

[@hughring]

Love what you said about instruments and layering Lex. Perfectly explains Gojira.

Y'all got to do "Dimmu Borgir - Blessings Upon the Throne of Tyranny" its sounds like some Lord of the rings meets the Game of thrones metal theme

I like your reactions (analogies) more than songs... you two are fantastic at breaking this kinda stuff down... it's like she is the nuclear energy, and he is the voice of reason, you guys are on to something for sure...

[@MatthewBousumonline]

I've always pictured in the last part of the song traveling down a color shifting almost kaleidoscope tunnel. Like this is the soundtrack to the journey. It's time. You traveled light. You've prepared. You've died. Now let us play you into eternity. To the unknown.

[@luizde-rossi643]

Yes! Once you Go jira, there's no going back! Thank you for reacting to one of my favorites! 👏🏽 Flying whales should be next, then Vacuity and Toxic garbage island! Keep it up, guys! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@markjones-rc1nm]

end ending to this...goosebumps

[@Jessy-Francoeur]

8:05 "eyes closed", there are a few Gojira videoclips where we can see the entire band members closing their eyes (like in l'enfant sauvage for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHirnY2tgr6Cb8k 2:13). It means that you're closing your mind from the outside world to focus on yourself and your inside world, it can also means meditating, when your eyes are closed you can be fully awaken in a spiritual way, because you know who you truly are. I think the lyrics are about a guy who had a materialistic way of living, he is realizing he is about to die, the drums at the beginning sounds like a heartbeat (maybe he had a heart attack or something like this), he is panicking because he never took the time to "close his eyes", seek the true meaning of life, he tries to keep his eyes open in order to stay alive, he's afraid of dying and then he said : ''...I'm realizing, this life and death more precious than anything"...but it's too late for him.

[@Monkeguitar]

definitely more gojira please!

[@ejmcd7495]

Good takes on a killer song!

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

Cool T-shirt Lex, greetings from a Dortmund fan in Norway 😎

[@OroraMonroe]

The beginning of the song is chaotic, while he is working through the meaning of life and death. AT the end when the song has no more words and just groove... he has come to terms with the fact that he must live.. and he must also eventually die....

[@natashamarikleeba6239]

Flying Whales is the song I introduce people Gojira to. They look at you funny until the song hits and they love it.

[@61805begin]

Brad is so cerebral and I like it…One day he’s gonna let go and forget to listen to lyrics. Lex is so entertaining to watch but I also love so much how the music just moves her. That’s me 🤘🏻 you guys are great!

Makes me think of the 3rd eye , and conciousness and being aware of your surroundings

[@F13thvoorhees]

"But why does he want to close his eyes?" Because he treasures this life, but he's tired...

[@flataffect]

the song is about overstimulation, the narrator wants to close their eyes so they can relax rather than get caught up in complexity, stimulation, materialism, technology, etc

[@tythealkemist9856]

Ego Death - Meditation that's what this song and lowkey much of this album Way of All Flesh is about. They are a very smart band keen on their Esoterica but i digress. Glad you dug it. Esoteric Surgery is another favorite of mine from this album with a very dope subject matter. Flying Whales is definitely something I agree with the rest of the commenters about. Amazing song. Cheers

[@fromthesky1050]

Joe is struggling to feel what is real in this world, and realizes it is us that are real, and we must go within ourselves to find that, and to learn how to fly again. Joe realizes all we take with us is our light into the next world, and that is worth more than gold. Within, he practices a secret not many know of.. The silver cord.

[@everychannel1025]

Isn't the silver chord connected to astral projection? This is soo good

[@MeaningIsMeaningless]

Love that Lex is wearing a Dortmund kit top.

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

I think lex summed up the lyrical meaning perfectly at around 8:15 well said. My favorite lyric in this song is "I'm of this kind that kills all day/But I don't know yet how to die" when you think of the "kind" he is referring to as humans. I am this kind, I am human, and humans kill all day but somehow we don't know how to die. We are so damn confused and lost when it comes to death, but we can take life from others so easily. Something to chew on. Glad Brad could appreciate a pretty heavy song like this too. It must be growing on him. Leave it to Gojira, probably the most celebrated modern metal band.

[@dissimilar5]

Yeah, that drum pattern is insane.

[@Metal_Vault]

Phenomenal song!

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

Anyone who says you can't dance to metal. Lex has proven that theory wrong. Music genuinely moves those who connect
