Oh fuck yeah Gojira! Gotta do flying whales, L’enfant sauvage, and the art of dying. The drummer and the singer/guitarist are actually brothers and Mario (the drummer) is one of the best alive

[@shawnfate2656]

they did art of dying on the live stream, it'll probably be uploaded soon

[@billyonetwo3]

Born in winter*

[@claudiamarianidamato9499]

Flying whales is really not that good though . They have way better songs

[@MisterDarkfall]

I've heard Mario is actually worshipped as a god now in some countries

[@thoronthol1175]

“The voice is just another instrument among the instruments”. Well said, and nice job picking up on that.. Gojira produces their own music, in their own studio, and every sound is exactly the way they want it. The lead singer/guitarist, Joe, has openly talked about the vocals being no more or less important than the rest of the instruments.

[@andy1982222]

Flying whales, heaviest matter of the universe oooh yeah

[@ljrockets1522]

Your mom is heavier

[@wtkidd1972RVA]

Lex is on fire! Her insight is serving her well! She hears the music but she is also hearing the message. Love your reactions, guys!

[@oddoni]

Gojira - From Mars to Sirius deserves a whole stream. Hands down their best album.

[@Luemm3l]

greatest fear of all... death. gojira are highly spiritual and environmentally aware in their lyrics. this was a good song to start since the newest album is somewhat easier to approach than their older work I feel. but they are HEAVY. For example, a Song like Love, Satan Is A Lawyer, Remembrance, Heaviest Matter of The Universe, Flying Whales, Explosia, Art of Dying, Vacuity.

[@scotthobson2083]

Yooohooo Devin Townsends "Kingdom" live at EMG studios!!!!

[@MrJimbojamez]

Watch them live, The Gift of Guilt live at the Brixton academy in London. These guys are great live

[@walkingbyawire]

I can’t tell how much Brad is moving to the music or if his movement is because he’s sitting next to Lex

[@screwylooygaming]

Brad's a baseline guy, the mellow tones. That's not meant in an insult sort of way, but I'd test the "Token Theory" on him.

[@isaacmendes1926]

​@@screwylooygaming how does that work?

[@screwylooygaming]

@@isaacmendes1926 Considering how long ago I made this comment and the fact I was probably drunk out my mind, I can't think of what I was referring to off the top of my head when I said "Token Theory".

[@isaacmendes1926]

@@screwylooygaming lol c'mon man you had me curious

[@n.88.]

You guys should probably start with Stranded or Silvera and then dive deeper into them lol

[@meowsteroshi3002]

Nahhh make em listen to wolf down the earth

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

2:37 when that beat drops Brad's face tells the moment that drum beat hit his soul. Genuine

[@klausbak6091]

Just Love this one from Gojira - especially the drummer. So awesome. Great reaction guys. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@joshua_5683]

Love Gojira! Such a great band!

[@nacholibre6129]

You have got to see Gojira - heaviest matter of the universe- live At vieilles charrues festival 2010. It's a live performance that is a must watch.

[@msven3669]

going to check it out mahself -

[@lise1847]

Great reaction, silvera and stranded should be next, absolutes masterpieces !

[@inklanois]

YAS! You have to do the Stranded video next. Gojira is great.

[@tommy_casual]

Yeah, the mixing was odd with this album, earlier recordings have the vocal levels higher. Still excellent. Go with Flying Whales next. Then test your mettle with the Heaviest Matter of the Universe

[@HammerfestGaming]

Flying Whales was on the poll one or two times but the chat bashed it, so it never happened. Lots of votes and comments for commercial songs like Silvera

[@tommy_casual]

@@HammerfestGaming Silvera is a great song, but Flying Whales is so atmospheric and conceptual, has a sort of arc to it. It's also got heavy breakdowns and rifts that consistently get stuck in fans' heads. Maybe Silvera is a better intro song and maybe they should go for that first. But I would argue that Flying Whales encapsulates the Gojira experience. I love that whole FMTS album

[@crowwithinternetservice]

@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head Has Joe at least started taking vocal lessons or adding technique recently? It sucks that his voice is damaged now.

[@danday9697]

I knew Brad would like them since they have a more chug style of riffs in a lot of their songs as he seems to not like the squealing type

[@BradAndLex]

Yep, that’s it 💯 i think this style is our gateway to his metal side guys

[@scottmorey6212]

Here's my recommendations for Gojira tracks to listen and/or react to (if I had to pick, Where Dragons Dwell live at hellfest video is my fav - you get a real sense of who they are live in that): 3rd album: From mars to sirius - The heaviest matter in the universe (very heavy) - Flying whales (Gojira's signature track) - Where Dragons dwell (youtube: live at hellfest 2013 - a MUST see!!, don't miss out on this reaction) - Global warming (youtube: live studio) 4th album: The way of all flesh - Toxic Garbage Island - The art of dying (legendary track) - Vacuity - Wolf down the Earth / or / esoteric surgery 5th album: L'enfant sauvage - The gift of guilt (live Brixham academy) - L'enfant sauvage - Born in Winter - Explosia 6th album: Magma - Stranded - Silvera - Pray (live at red rocks only) - The cell / or / shooting star (live at bbc) 7th album: Fortitude - Born for one thing - Amazonia - Sphinx - New Found (still so fresh so hard not to recommend them all) 2nd album: The link - Embrace the world - Indians - Rememberance (live at Link Alive) 1st album: Terra incognita - Space time - Lizard skin / or /clone - Love (from 'link alive' ideally) / or / Blow Me Away (You)niverse

[@taniap9551]

❤️ Amazing drums on this one! What a journey!

[@mbangroo]

Was just waiting for your gojira ones. Its a rabbit hole, they rarely make any bad song :)

[@wolfinthesno]

GET THE REST OF THE STREAM VIDEOS UP FOR GOJIRA!!!! I WILL WATCH THEM ALL BACK TO BACK. For real though lol i joined the stream when just before 10:00 local and you were nearly done. Lets GOOOOOO GOJIRA GOJIRA!

[@hughring]

Huge Gojira fan here. And I love Brad & Lex Gojira videos. You should see them live. Incredible.

[@shepinchains1]

You two nailed it! 😊

[@bbig438]

thats 1 of the reasons i love Gojira. just about all their music is thought provoking

[@Dirk-Merkeldunk-CSR2]

Ok so the font you're using on the thumbnail was created for a band called The Misfits. You are now obligated to check out their song "Dig Up Her Bones". Please and thank you ❤️ Love you guys!

[@BradAndLex]

Haha, we actually did one of their songs on stream “horror hotel” but it was so short we haven’t reuploaded yet

[@Dirk-Merkeldunk-CSR2]

@@BradAndLex that's what punk rock is all about! 3 chord, 2 minute songs about teenage angst and how shitty life is. ❤️

[@vinnycaruso1166]

Guift of guilt by gojira live at brixton academy. They’re my favorite band.

[@HammerfestGaming]

They said during the stream that they won't upload any live videos because they almost always get blocked. They might do one at the end of a stream but they won't upload them. They got a lot of requests during the stream for live videos because Gojira is an amazing live band, so they brought this up atleast a couple of times

[@giacomo2836]

YEAH FINALLY! Please go deeper ! :D Flying Whales would be amazing as next song! Nice Reaction as always ! Cheers!

[@ggks3532]

Gojira? Nice. Maybe now its time for Opeth?

[@KeithThorne]

Maybe a couple more Gojira, just to prepare the palate

[@annaoswald5943]

They listened to Opeth during a livestream.

[@shawnfate2656]

They didnt care much for the opeth that was picked, i blame the live chat for that lol

[@alanbrown7412]

Hi Brad, Hi Lex. Oh yes guys you are certainly part of the metal family ..to see you both getting into Gojira brought a smile to my face. They are a brilliant band ..a few track to maybe listen to are ...Pray live at Red Rocks , The Art of Dying live from Brixton, Flying Whales. I really love your reactions and channel. Love and peace from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

[@manna6618]

I love my gigs and metal festivals and having seen Gojira play a few times I can honestly say they are the TIGHTEST band unit on the planet, when they play together they don't miss a single note or beat, the professionalism is off chops...massive respect to a dedicated hard working band of pro's.

[@jbjb9593]

I’m glad Brad liked the song 🤘🏽

[@Steve_With_a_D]

Gojira is so badass, definite need to do more of them.

[@eyezwithoutaface5255]

THIS IS THE SHOW U MUST SEE FOR FIRST EXPERIENCE. THESE GUYS ARE PIONEERS

[@philsalle5637]

welcome to the best french metal band world !!! - they've been around for more than 20 years and are finally getting the credit they deserve. my suggestions : "remembrance" (from "the link dvd") / "l'enfant sauvage" / "pray" ( live from red rocks ) / "where dragons dwell" (live) / clone

[@goonercestlavie]

Cool vibes. Deep tune

[@joshuajohnson6685]

They put on an amazing show. They are really into helping the world and the oceans

[@juliusmabry4839]

Yes!!!!! More Gojira please!!

[@mickeyknight1121]

Thanks!

[@coustryemmanuel1631]

"The Gift Of Guilt" live at Brixton academy should blow your mind... Love you guys. Peace !

[@michaelmcdermott209]

This is my favorite Gojira song I was hyped when I saw this.

[@thetamparayguy2755]

You need to see one of their live videos!!!!! Great energy!!!! Check " where the dragons dwell"!!!!!!

[@jimbodavis1944]

I've been a Gojira fan since 2005 or 2006. I've seen them twice - once on the L'Enfant Sauvage tour (at The Ogden), and once on the Magma tour (at Red Rocks). The best concert was at Red Rocks where I saw them with Opeth and Devin Townsend Project. I was almost in the front row; the pyro-technics felt like they were going to burn my face. Intense! My favorite song by them is "The Heaviest Matter of the Universe." This, for me, was the sound that made me fall in love with them. The newer albums (Magma and Fortitude) are more conceptual and milder than the older albums (in my opinion). Regardless, they've never lost that primal energy.

[@trevorfidencio6391]

The gift of guilt live!! You will be in awe!!

[@jc-uw5wt]

In this album alone... you've discovered another universe, new found is 1 of the best off this album.... cheers!

[@mikeboi4870]

You guys need to do stranded, got me through the toughest time in my life and such a sic riff

[@vicegripp]

Best modern metal band out now. Period. They are innovators.

[@largemouthhunter5014]

Time for Sepultura , Arise , Dead Embryonic Cells , War for Territory , Beneath the remains 🤘🤘🤘

[@tylerb.7293]

2:54 I like that part, too. It's nothing fancy, but it's such a nice touch. Most reactions don't seem to acknowledge it (small sample size, though). I just started exploring your videos. Lex is awesome. She's getting excited for the songs that made me excited, and that's exciting. I don't see any Mastodon reactions, though. Need to dig into their album Leviathan for songs like Iron Tusk, Seabeast or Hearts Alive.

[@Bongoloid]

I know everyone's going to recommend Flying Whales, Heaviest Matter and Art of Dying but I'd say hold off on those until you get your Gojira ears, they're more advanced. I'd say get your feet wet with Stranded, Silvera and Explosia. Brilliant band, keep going with them and you won't be disappointed. Conscious lyrics, unique riffing and the drummer is a machine.

[@house9Tube]

This is the way 🤘

[@ashdarnell3232]

They did this one on the live stream, along with Heaviest Matter, Art of Dying, and Gift of Guilt. Hopefully, those will get uploaded.

[@superman0579]

You guys found Gojira?!?! Do their song 'Flying Whales' next... FANTASTIC!!!

[@metalgirlinthemaritimes]

Looooooove this song!!!!! So many amazing other songs too. Way too many to list here. 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@nimmmaina7479]

Lex that Dortmund jersey is fire

[@pasza_dem]

Yes! Gojira is a big one one of the best bands of our generation!!!

[@GreatHouseAtreides]

Gojira!!!!! The Heaviest Matter In The Universe is such a hype song to consider

[@pemaluco]

Knowing that everyone will recommend the usual gojira masterpieces, like "flying whales" and "heaviest matter of the universe" (wich u guys should absolutely react to) I would love to see you guys checking out "The Gift of Guilt", "The Art of Dying" and/or "Amazonia". And thanks for this reaction! It makes me really happy to see you guys reacting to my favorite band :)

[@HammerfestGaming]

They did The Art of Dying, so they'll probably post it at some point

[@DoubleKlutchRacing]

Love this band, really the band that got me into metal farther. I always thought this song was about animals bred and raised to eat because of something I saw before but ya

[@Thunderworks]

The Gift of Guilt, Stranded, Silvera, Amazonia, Into the Storm, L'enfant Sauvage

[@xzation]

GOJIRA!

[@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents]

I've always loved Gojira's "Vacuity".

[@mikepastry1162]

Gojira at Hellfest 2015! Songs called Silvera. If you're gonna listen to Gojira listen to them live, they're incredible live.

[@ludotau9077]

Amazonia, new found, pretty much every song from "From Sirius to Mars" "fortitude" + "the chant"

[@TrialsOfOne]

Orbit culture- Flight of the Fireflies Upon a burning body-extermination Phinehas- eternally apart

[@hfatboydth4715]

You can’t go wrong with any Gojira song. Check out “Low Lands”. Love your channel! 🤘🤘🤘

[@richmondharwood2338]

Gojira is next level......simply put, the best metal band on the planet!

[@andrewgraham3715]

Came across Gojira a couple of years ago and hearing their music re-ignited my interest in heavy metal. I lost interest in the 90’s, and now at 50 loving Gojira and Jinjer. Thought provoking and heavy grooving. Loving their new albums released this year. Enjoying your reaction journey. Keep it going. Metal dad from Oz.

[@furiousc]

Yeah you guys are gonna want to spend some time on Gojira.

[@daniellehurrell6620]

Greatest fear of all - death for sure.

[@matitroll464]

FINALLY!!! Now you probably should check out flying whales or backbone if you wanna listen to some crazy drums and guitar stuff. Another world is freaking cool as well and it has the best music video I've ever seen. I wouldn't mind if you reacted to the whole magma album too haha.

[@brianyates3504]

HOWDY FROM NEW ENGLAND...THE DRUMMER MARIO DUPLANTIER IS THE BEST METAL DRUMMER OF THE PAST 25 YRS...AND HE HAS THE AWARDS AND RECOGNITION TO SHOW FOR IT ...IM A DRUMMER AND IT TOOK ME 2 MONTHS TO LEARN THIS SONG...GOOD PICK GUYS...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST...

The Gift of Guilt live at Brixton will turn you upside down guys

[@williamdavis213]

Riffs riffs riffs and more riffs.

[@BlackTalonGaming]

FUCKING GOJIRA! YAAAASSSSS!

[@cgf7973]

Gojira and epic go hand in hand, a heavy metal band that cares abouy the environment and the things in it, flying whales is the go to long heavy and glorious

[@KeithThorne]

Really glad you got to Gojira. Such a great band. And wherever did Lex get that Dortmund football (soccer) t-shirt from?

[@BradAndLex]

Lol a Bangkok street market

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

The song that I find to be the best condemnation of us all staring down at our phones is "Noise" by Nightwish.

[@luizde-rossi643]

Finally you guys reacted to Gojira! Probably the best metal band currently. My suggestions are(in order) stranded, flying wales, vacuity, art of dying and toxic garbage island. You can't go wrong with Gojira. Keep it up! 👏🏽🤘🏽

[@richardforbes943]

There are so many great songs by Gojira! L'enfant sauvage, Silvera is more of a radio play song also great drums..every song is just fantastic but Flying Whales is a must!

[@wessyh]

Hell yes, Gojira

[@jacksmith4460]

Ok now this ...this is my sonic first love, Porgy metal/mathy shit I love all kinds of music , but this is the area I like the most

You should react to the entire The Way if all Flesh album. Fire from start to finish.

[@inmortaljoe6201]

Check Remembrance , Wisdom comes , Vacuity, A sight to behold and the way of all flesh, The cell, Stranded and the Mouth of Kala !

[@F13thvoorhees]

Gojira is easily one of the most important bands in the scene today, sonically and philosophically excellent.

[@OfficialArmstead]

Would love to see you guys react to a song called “Billy No Mates” by Knocked Loose. I’ve really been enjoying y’all’s channel! Thanks for the content

[@antonytheolddog8626]

Last band I saw live before covid hit..in July 2019. They are the best friggin band on the planet right now.. Technically the arrangement are next level.. No one can touch them..

Yes!! I have been requesting these guys for a while now. Check “The Gift of Guilt “ live from Brixton Acadamy. Then Flying Whales, Stranded, Silvera, and The Heaviest Matter of the Universe . I believe those are the standards for reactors. Thanks! Also, they will be in your neck of the woods in October. Already sold out the show closest to me. Go see them!!

[@eXuo]

You guys should check out 'From the Sky' it's my fav. song of them and not many reactions to it. So I would love to see yours.

[@Barehand_Originalz]

Dnt forget “ where dragons dwell” Gojira live @ Hellfest!!!

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

My interpretation of the "greatest fear of all" is that it is death. Mostly because of the lyrics "the primal fear of disappearing"

[@Maxxdiff14]

You should continue going down the Gojira road. They’re killer. And on a long shot.. Crowbar - Counting Daze

[@bobbybissell4770]

Flying Whales!!!
