You lot know what to do🔥🔥🔥 A combined 5,500+ Likes on the 5 Gojira Reactions I have done so far - let’s make that 7,000 after this video! More coming soon🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653]

Pls react to the Band Opeth! Ghost of Perdition would be a great start

[@insertname8999]

Plz check out oroborus, silvera, stranded, le enfant Sauvage and toxic garbage island. The live versions of silvera from 2016 hellfest is amazing

[@isidroguerrero3297]

Thank you for these videos man it's fun watching your reaction to Gojira! They really do have a heavy sound and feel its insane I recommend you try Global Warming, the live studio video. Just so you can see how much passion they put into their music and to put a face to the band, you will not be disappointed 🤘🏼 Keep them coming!

[@tier12211]

Really want your mind blown react to Gojira - Love- live at Rio

Great stuff man! Please react to *Anciients - Raise the sun* , imo it's a very underrated band

[@ortho2195]

Toxic Garbage Island by Gojira, enough said.

[@marcusrobertson5627]

I second this opinion

True,very heavy song.My fav from this album

[@momsspaghetti7874]

i dont know why nobody ever talks about the breakdown to lenfant sauvage. it is one of my favorite breakdowns, and moments in metal. it's powerful

[@marcusrobertson5627]

I agree, this is a fantastic pick for the next listen

[@JMyrk]

it's L'enfant sauvage, the wild child.

[@randyeppyt]

@@momsspaghetti7874 - L'enfant Sauvage and Low Lands are my favourite Gojira breakdowns

[@NiklasDellegard]

The song Vacuity for heavy headbanging and Silvera for heavy melodic Gojira.

[@marcusrobertson5627]

I second this motion for Vacuity

[@lukehewko260]

If you're looking for more of an absolutely brutal crusher from this band: Backbone, Explosia, The Axe, Vacuity, Toxic Garbage Island will all scratch that itch pretty well. The best spacy, euphoric song most would probably agree is Where Dragons Dwell.

[@theone132435]

Pleeeease do Where Dragons Dwell Live Hellfest 2013. Your mind will be fucking blown from here to infinity (:

[@Speedwolf72]

@@theone132435 One of best live performances ever!

Where dragons dwell is my favorite song. The lyrics are loose enough to allow for many interpretations and is rather soft but still brings the hammer

[@JadeIsBunny]

[@arcuriusx1074]

Reminds me of Animal. BEAT THE DRUMS

[@jpgduff]

YES!!

[@jjhigg7793]

Gojira are very active envoironmentalists so i use that to interpret their lyrics

[@nane1912]

They are! The Duplantiers are members of a animal saving organisation i think, the money they earned from the song Of Blood And Salt also goes directly to that organisation AND the entire From Mars To Sirius Album is about the nature and global warming

[@afonsoferreira7874]

The main riff is so emotional that makes me cry. Gojira is band that transmits so much emotion on their riffs

I thought I was the only one feeling sadness in the riff move me

[@mrjupiter80]

"Vacuity" was the first song I heard from Gojira. Still one of my favs.

[@The_Graveyard_Sh1ft]

You NEED to react to Esoteric surgery by Gojira, barely any channels have done it and it's one of their best songs imo.

Love your content so far, but you did yourself a disservice not doing live version at Braxton i think. It is nasty. Although I don't know how copyright works for you doing this. Cheers from Houston TX

Mario Duplantier, the drummer is so nasty on the sticks. His drum fills are always tasty and relevant to the direction of the song, mega consistent and always eloquently brutal 🤘🏼

[@F13thvoorhees]

When I heard this song, I came to the full realization that Gojira was far more than just a run of the mill Death Metal band. The ethereal feeling in this song is amazing, hearing it live creates this amazing cathartic atmosphere. For your next song on your Gojira journey, I reccomend L'enfant Sauvage, it's both incredibly palatable and incredibly heavy \m/ Nice video budd

[@dylandlp19]

Oroborus is one of my favorite Gojira songs. That one and Wolf Down the Earth are both amazing if you can check them out. Your videos are awesome dude!

[@donaldzuramp4807]

Next up you need to react to where dragon dwells - live at Hellfest!!

[@misero6130]

Agreed

[@SnellenEddy]

when i introduce people to gojira i let them listen to "Stranded" or "Silvera"

[@micahjohansson7573]

My first Gojira song was Another World and it was by accident and it's the best accident ever. I've been missing this band for so many years.

[@mungosheaves7923]

You're right about Gojira's "middle ground." The albums From Mars to Sirius and The Way of All Flesh are full of brutal face melters, blast beats, nasty grooves. But with L'Enfant Sauvage and especially Magma, their last two albums, they spent more time exploring atmosphere and melody. You won't find anything as heavy as "The Art of Dying" on L'Enfant or Magma, but, on the flipside, you won't find anything as raw and poetic as "The Gift of Guilt," "Only Pain," or "Pray" in their earlier albums. Their early albums are musically heavy; the later albums are emotionally heavy.

[@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653]

Bro... You totally forgot to mention their first album.

[@murksiii]

The biggest things about Gojira are heaviness, emotions, atmosphere, musicianship... They are the best band on the planet right now. They are not perfect because no one is, but they are very special but in their very own way close to perfection. I can’t say enough praise for this band, wich is another aspect, because just look at the comments on their live video from the Pol'and Rock festival... you‘ll find so much love and appreciation for them. Of course there always be idiots but the bigger part of their fans are very nice

[@davidvied2507]

Just do their whole discography, these guys kill it. I’ve been listening to them since ‘04/05 and I’m very happy with the respect and recognition they’ve earned in the metal scene. Devastatingly badass group, now one of my all time favorites 🤘

[@senorchips8528]

Gojira- Where Dragons Dwell (live), Vaucity, Toxic Garbage Island, Explosia, The Axe, Esoteric Surgery, Love, and Silvera are all top notch Drew. It’s awesome watching you take in this band. They closed their set list with Gift of Guilt when I saw them last year and oh man it was epic

[@sasakanjuh7660]

Explosia, Le ́efant Sauvage, Silvera.. can't go wrong with any of those!

[@RockinAfr0]

The way I look at it this track's title says it all. We live in a time where it's almost frowned upon to feel guilty and where you are encouraged to seek a path for yourself in spite of it. Yet, guilt can be a useful tool as well. It shows us when we stray to far from the people and values we hold dear, but only if it is consulted in moderation. Most youth (me included) seek to spite guilt for the sake of it, but there is wisdom in knowing when something does not feel good or right. We must learn to not repress and drown out guilt but listen to what it has to teach us while also not listening to it too often. That way after learning from it what we need/want, we can leave it behind and truely let the guilt we carry go!

[@Kareemate]

Either remembrance or l'enfant sauvage, both absolute bangers

Every song by gojira is 👌🏻 in my opinion so it’s hard to pick one to react to because they’re each unique in their own way. Vacuity has always been my favorite. It hits so hard and they lyrics are 👌🏻I’ve been a fan of gojira for about 10 years now. Mouth of kala, silvera, magma, this emptiness, the way of all flesh, toxic garbage island, wolf down the earth i think you’d enjoy. ☺️

Remembrance IS A MUST!!! Especially from Link Alive

[@jameslebron2403]

Saw them perform live at the Academy a few years ago. Brilliant live performers. This song blew me away especially

[@heenymeety406]

I think Embrace The World or Wisdom Comes are their heaviest songs they ever did but Backbone is one of their best ones so check it out when you can

[@proctor7029]

If you want something similar to this one and a little more chill: Global Warming (i recommend the live studio version) Oroborus a sight to behold Some heavier stuff with amazing drums: Remembrance Embrace the world Toxic Garbage Island

[@gojirarules1547]

This album was very unique, and birthed Gojiras newer sound. Now we have the latest album; Magma. If you check out a song from Magma, check out The Cell! The next album is coming soon! 🤘 In The Forest - Gojira

You gotta love KZbin. Ever since I subscribed to your channel, I keep getting recommendations for "Irish people try 'blank'." in my feed. Oh, the webs we weave.

[@dannym518]

It’s tranquility through intensity, love their sound.

[@shutter1374]

Vacuity is a pretty heavy yet catchy song that's almost impossible not to immediately love. But if you're still wanting to explore more of their popular songs first, I'd recommend either Stranded or Silvera.

[@nilachekov6881]

Yesssss. Been waiting for this. This is my favourite gojira song!! X

[@drewm5898]

Hey Drew, just found your channel this morning from the first Gojira reaction. I would love to see you react to "Satan is a Lawyer" by them, a very different sounding song by them, but one of my favs to this day! Also shoutout for being named Drew too lol

[@octopus189]

Fucking love your reactions man, true and honest. You really look deep into what makes the song. If you're looking for a raw beast of a track from Gojira try "Backbone". Welcome to the metal family.

[@swamprabbit66]

Silvera. But it MUST be played AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!

[@Natasha-A-Omega]

You should REALLY watch the live video of this track. Trust and believe.... I have been a fan for well over a decade.. they are whole heartedly the best band I have ever seen live.

@@house9Tube I heard this a thousand times. Its definitely not a solo.A lead? Yeah maybe call it that. Its the same sound repeting itselft from 5 to 5 seconds that's not a solo and Gojira does not solos in most of their songs( at least the ones I've heard). They have different grooves and they change it up in every song sure but not solos

[@Ukuleleloki94]

The Cell... Simple as :D keep up gojira sir!!!

[@kylereece1979]

Not surprised this one had an initial impact, lad. It is both , spacey and smashing. The intro riff that fades in and out the song is full of drama and emotion. Really cool song. Glad you liked it,mate! Tell me this- have you heard of Primordial??? They are an acclaimed metal band that delve into blackened metal, doom metal and a cool mix of Celtic influences. Their songs deal with everything from Irish mythology, and history, be it The Famine, The War of Independence. And, their Dubs! They're from Skerries, so I dunno if thats up, or across the roads from ya, but they've really helped put Ireland on the Metal map over the last 15 years. Check out "The Coffin Ships".

[@iBrew_4u]

Greatest band ever... Every song has an obvious beginning, middle and end and the lyrics carry so much meaning. Check out the songs Ouroborus and The Art of Dying ... So good

I hadn't checked out Gojira all too much, until your reaction videos (great quality by the way). Thanks for helping introduce me to their music man! It's been a trip. I think you'd love Rivers of Nihil - "Where Owls Know My Name" The track is beautiful, savage, lyrically deep, and the album as a whole is a masterpiece. It's the third album in a 4 part series, and it focuses on telling the story of an immortal entity, who is the sole sentient being left on the planet after the apocalypse. It deals with themes of isolation, depression, and purpose. Definitely influenced by Pink Floyd as well. Thanks for the videos! Comin' at you from Canada

[@thomas_h4576]
