Gojira - Backbone (Live at Vieilles Charrues Festival 2010)

Gojira - 03 - Backbone
Live in Carhaix, Vieilles Charrues festival July 17th 2010

[@youssefbelhaj4858]

[Intro] Indestructible On this rock, I lie, but I'm alive for good And I just free myself now from all what was wrong Break the unbreakable [Verse 1] All the stars fearlessly bright They call me out there, order me to face the wind My structure's alive, body's on the way Don't bow down before the walls Of fear and madness, they try to counter me And strike me down to the ground again [Verse 2] Inexhaustible The strength of fire is running through me Spine-like beam of light What mortal could ever break this force? Unconstrained I see at last my backbone straighten Thy serpent made of bones Finally rise up from the ground awaken [Outro] Beat your feet on the ground now, go

[@waynekeer]

This is very death metal

[@Djuggernaut117]

That breakdown makes me windmill hard enough to power 3 Scandinavian villages.

Criminally underrated comment

[@gnomegains]

No karate in the pit.

[@hudsonbarth5641]

One of the best KZbin comments I’ve seen in a while haha

[@Skelterbane69]

How do I plug you in?

[@metalben005]

If youre a metalhead, you're doing yourself a disservice by not seeing Gojira. Hands down one of the best shows ive seen.

[@Wernershnitzl]

I finally got my chance last August, agreed.

[@KevinJohnson-vu4zr]

I saw them while on tour for this album, and they blew Lamb of God out of the fucking building. My buddies and I were looking at each other in absolute disbelief.….then we hit the pit!

[@RedDragonCoder]

I love how they are better live than in the studio

[@lastskater0]

I've always fuckin thought that too man, such a great band

[@edgardavid1653]

Yeah! I was actually thinking about that. They're like the Rush of metal: You listen to the records and you fucking love them, but to see the real power this band displays you absolutely need to see them live.

[@10dthompson60]

Edgar David Hell yes, saw and met them at rock on the range in Columbus Ohio. Blew everyone else out of the way

[@Tony_Williams_Right_Hand]

Edgar David Meshuggah is the Rush of metal

[@lewisharris6180]

They destroyed Lorna Shore and Mastadon at the festival I went to

[@killnoni5032]

very romantic song

ill play this on my wedding

[@Gravityys]

This song is more about persistence and picking yourself up when you have absolutely every reason not to.(I get that you were joking tho)

[@budgetgitarr5351]

Do something calm and relaxing before bed, they said. Watch Gojira all night, I said.

[@dinklebamp]

Correct 🤘

[@popsiidat]

That roar at 1:34 just destroys me. It's one of the greatest parts of this song

[@Mibost]

+Omar Ghanim EXACTLY

[@88Sith88]

+Omar Ghanim SAME \m/

[@raymondbauer2152]

Combined with the guitars and especially the probably 200+ bpm double bass yep thats like the best part in any song ever

[@SSandheadd]

For real!🤘

[@ishaangupta4125]

Evokes a feeling of overpowering sadness for me

[@StopPanakinAnakin]

The fact that Mario doesn't use triggers on his kicks with this music is absolutely incredible. Especially since he just uses straight kicks for all his fast work. Not double strokes, heel toe, swivel, etc. The dude is a machine.

[@pauldesmet8737]

He always uses triggers. Check out his equipment on equipboard or Wikipedia. But he certainly kicks very hard :-) as you can see in some drum cams

[@jez_77]

@@pauldesmet8737 He uses triggers mixed with microphones, but for kick drums only. He says that not for every venue tho, depends where they play

[@R49_Complete]

@@jez_77 Every drummer in a large metal band no matter how much they deny it, uses software and triggers to some extent. Metal has gotten way too loud, staccato, and way too compressed for drummers to contistently kick with max-power on every bass note for 9 month to year-long tours at this point.

[@gg-joe.8889]

He uses trigger for kick but nothing else. He needs to use it for kick just because of how fast he plays

[@dataternater78]

3:37 is one of my absolute favorite riffs, it’s so unbelievably heavy and one of my favorite breakdowns

[@augustindrummer2919]

True ! It sounds a bit like the art of dying's last riff Favorite band 🤘🏻🇨🇵

[@ISHATvideo]

ENDLESS LUNCHABLE!!!!

[@throwingstoner]

possibly the greatest live performance of backbone

[@entropy_fr]

*Backbone* *The protagonist flies to “Sirius” where the ‘master race’ teaches him to restore life on the planet. (Possibly Earth or Mars)* *[Intro]* Indestructible On this rock, I lie, but I'm alive for good And I just free myself for now from all what was wrong Break the unbreakable *[Verse 1]* All the stars fearlessly bright They call me out there, order me to face the wind My structure's alive, body's on the way Don't bow down before the walls Of fear and madness, they try to counter me And strike me down to the ground again *This is the “Call to Adventure” for our hero as he realizes his quest in that he has to save a planet from certain fate.* *[Verse 2]* Inexhaustible The strength of fire is running through me Spine-like beam of light What mortal could ever break this force? Unconstrained I see at last my backbone straighten Thy serpent made of bones Finally rise up from the ground awaken *Indeed, a human spine (or backbone) does resemble a snake.* *These parallels between spines and snakes is referenced again in their next album on the track “Oroborus.”* *Crawling stately* *Along the spine* *It could also be a reference to the Kundalini enlightenment where it is believed that a serpent like force travels through the spine through all the chakras and exits through the Apex chakra just above the head.* *[Outro]* Beat your feet on the ground now, go *Beat your feet to the ground is like a primitive calling to adventure, a rallying call for change, just like the Protagonist.*

[@castorramones3756]

1:33 relax, listen and let the magic happens... that sound is medicinal

[@burcusakr7070]

0:56 i love that high part of the vocal

[@randyhalfway]

What a freaking voice.

[@mikes2381]

Need me some louder, better quality headphones for listening to Gojira! Gotta get me some that crank it up to at least 11. Preferable 12 or 13. Ya know jet engine decibel levels.

[@trevorbaker7168]

Gojira is spot on with how it sounds on the record and it's really impressive

Something so great for such a dead crowd, what a shame

[@jean-luckonieczny2184]

***** c'est pas des français c'est des bretons.....

[@DocteurAlpha]

***** The band is french.. jerk..

[@PlayToDie]

Les Vieilles Charrues is a "mainstream festival", like Coachella. So of course the crowd is a little bit dead.

[@Astrothunderkat]

+Dahita Needed a wall of death

[@jbasti227]

Dahita They're not dead. They're just too blown away to do anything.

[@kasss60]

no doubt, may be one of the most pure concert Executions ever, I can't find words. every time I watch this video im speechless. love how Mario, often time the kick and snare with his brothers singing

[@rogeriobaeve7177]

[@RedScatta]

lol 😂😂 tought the same

[@grzegorzbalcerak576]

Opeth will be releasing their new album in both English and Swedish versions. This made me wonder... how awesome it would be for Gojira to record a few songs in French! I would not understand a thing, but the concept seems quite appealing.

[@DjoZzef]

Not really, swedish is a pretty language to hear when sung. Not french. I'm french, i can tell. But you can find a bit of french in Gojira's discography here and there. On the song Low Lands for example if we speak about Magma, and more on the album Terra Incognita.

[@TransparentBarriers]

@@DjoZzef Of course it is nice to hear french in music. But not in Metal. Or at least, it's okay with extreme metal, because we can't tell what it is said.

[@piropra6184]

No , it could sound good, if done well.

[@edilgin622]

this song just gets me every time man...

[@DjoZzef]

Same here.

[@edwardaristi8667]

Fucking double hype in the whole song 🤘🤤👌

[@rybroca]

I love hearing the cry of humanity re-established in metal! Thank you France!

Good lord they're playing even faster than the studio version, at least in the beginning. I'm so hyped to see them this fall

My fucking God that sounds absolutely WONDERFUL!

I turned the captions on and at 3:19 it says - Brittany, We want to hear you. haha

C’est très satisfaisant de savoir que les meilleurs dans le milieu du métal actuel sont des français.

1:21 ......just look at all those people.....just standing still.....what the hell Frenchmen!! This stuff is some of gojiras best metal, your countrymen, and you just stand there.....shameful! I wish I had the chance to experience these guys! Excellent musicianship, excellent music.....sorry gojira but your home crowd sucks!!!

[@rikss0n]

bronze beard dude, the french always surrenders..

[@chrismusiclover9893]

jonny j lol and your just racist 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@denis7369]

You have to understand this is not a metal festival, it's not even a rock festival. You could hear pop, rap, electro. I guess the crowd is more or less shocked by the performance

[@mathisfelix312]

I was in the crowd this night, Gojira was the only metal band of the festival (other groups are electro, pop, rock), it was 2AM, I had personally booked the day just to see Gojira but you have to keep in mind that it wasn't the case for most of the people there and still 50k stayed because they were simply curious (Joe said he was actually surprised and appreciated a lot that the crowd was still so big to listen). I love headbanging etc but it's not because a crowd doesn't move that it doesn't like the sound, people were trying to truly listen to the music and feel it (for those not fond of metal). Check Hellfest if you want to see a French crowd of metal fans.

[@Missile.toad21]

I love this tempo

[@MrStratwarrior]

Vous étiez magiques à Rouen, votre musique est un échappatoire dans ce monde fermé et sous vide. N'abandonnez jamais!

[@HeavyRaiden]

Perfect

[@grandmechantroux]

3:37 - one of the best riffs ever.

[@user-tu1ti1ny7u]

Just breath taking

[@ambernorcia520]

So many years later. Still fucking amazing.

[@Filmmaaniak]

Brutal opening - more brutal than studio, good stuff, amazing live performance.

[@JasonSallinger]

This is a message to French brothers in metal: I'd like to learn how the lead singer introduces the song. Can you transcribe what he is saying before he says..."BACK...BONE!!!!!"

[@lucaslafata2353]

"This is "hallucinating" (awesome) for us to be here tonight. Thanks a lot for your welcome. The next song is calle BackBone... [Riff] MOVE !"

[@lucaslafata2353]

Lucas La Fata Called*

[@JasonSallinger]

gojira is king

[@DV87777]

That's fucking snare bruh. 🐐

[@senestre]

@josephbaylus The Vieilles Charrues Festival is not even a metal festival, so most of them weren't prepared for Gojira's epic heaviness.

[@josephbaylus]

Everyone keeps talking about how dead the crowd is for all of the Gojira videos from this festival. That's the key word here folks, FESTIVAL. They were one of the acts in the middle of the day on the third day of a four day festival. Those people are exhausted, dehydrated, hungover, malnourished and are still there to support all of the acts. I would be right there with you if this was just a Gojira show, but I'll cut them some slack since it was a four day mindfuck of metal excellance.
