[@bugasmike]

whoever is in charge of their sound is amazing. very rare when a band sounds better live than they do on the album

[@LorcaLoca]

***** That really him? When did he do that?

***** jajajajaja, seems like a slug :P

[@tomm335]

This is why Lamb of God, Gojira and Meshuggah need to tour together.

[@NightmareGuitarist]

Arse Wart If that was ever a tour I would die. So much to metal out to!

[@bugasmike]

replace Lamb Of God with Devin Townsend and we got ourselves a wicked show

[@seanelias9246]

The breakdown is so heavy they literally don't know what to do with themselves I love it

[@regularhuman7939]

They running away from flying whales, but dont where to go

[@drutubechannel]

No one looks like they are having more fun onstage than Devin. No one makes it looks as easy as Meshuggah. No one puts as much heart and soul into their live energy as Gojira does. Kings.

[@kzshrr]

drutubechannel “Sid Wilson” from “Slipknot” looks like having the most fun in stage than any artist ever

[@kzshrr]

If you knew Sid Wilson then you wouldn’t have mentioned Devin

[@saintpoli6800]

Slipknot during Self Titled probably won’t ever be matched with the energy

[@FuraFaolox]

If you want to see someone who is having a lot of fun on stage, look at the bassist of Babymetal.

[@saintpoli6800]

William Montes A good time? No idea. But energy wise in Self Titled era (1999-2000) is unmatched by any band that I’ve seen.

[@SPMinerva]

Jean-Michael Labadie is Gojira secret weapon. the way he moves and jumping with bass. Crazy

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[@alecneevel2897]

Saw these guys open up for Mastodon in Madison. Don't get me wrong, I love Mastodon, and they put on an excellent show. But Gojira fucking destroyed them; their sound quality was superior, their brutality was unmatched, the light show was genius...overall, they just plain looked like they wanted to be there a whole lot more than Mastodon did, and their desire to be there was realized in one of the most impressive concerts I've seen. I went into the show liking Gojira, and I came out with the realization that these guys are fucking kings of metal.

[@6hypnone]

Alec Neevel Saw the same tour. And I agree. Kinda different types of music imo. Though my friend who went for Mastodon, never heard of Gojira, came out REALLY liking them!

[@MKRocker2012]

Yeah I saw that show too. Mastodon frankly sucked balls compared to Gojira

[@willlewis153]

Iv seen mastodon twice and gojira once and I have to agree. Gojira does sound better live (mastodon still sounds great though in my opinion). Mastodon was definitely the loudest band Iv ever seen though. Gojira is just one of those bands that sounds every bit as good live as in the studio and that’s rare

[@RottenCheeseburger]

Hell yeah dude! I saw them with Opeth of all bands and they kicked Opeths ass

[@Slashhead1]

now thats saying something. Though both of them are my all time favorites.

[@ihateactors]

Damn...the vocals are just freaking amazing.

[@Nicotinemiaou]

Logan Walden The drum too dude !Mario is god.

[@SirChubblesSteen]

Duuuuude at 2:25, that growl leading into the breakdown and the guitar riff he does at 2:36, leading into those crazy drums at 2:44 makes my head turn into a windmill!

[@Andrew03289]

Darren M gives me chills, I have to see these guys live.

[@v616sirius]

The riff at 2:36 is surprising challenging to play

[@Raffospink]

Mario Duplantier has to be the best drummer in modern metal. Jesus.

[@shmoo1000]

Spinky Definitely. Duplantier, along with George Kollias from Nile and Tomas Haake from meshuggah are probably the best out there.

[@NEBASTEN]

True .

[@nolanbeasinger8555]

[@luigilorusso597]

I don't disagree .. but man, Chris Adler too is in nomination !

Tomas Haake,Gavin Harrison and Mike Mangini are the best.

[@RogerLaLoutre]

Sometimes, you see Mario starting the double-bass and his face is like "What ? My legs ? What legs ? Oh, those shaky things ? Don't worry, they'll be absolutely fine."

[@FeastOvGoreglutton]

that opening riff melts me

[@xXSlimJimiXx]

2:25 The offset in their headbanging is so sick, I keep rewinding to this moment, it's too good.

[@TopSetUK]

Yeah that's sick, I've never noticed that before. Sneaky little pause to keep the time signature. Quality

[@irishwristwatch2487]

Shit, now you've pointed out I see it. That's some choreography there man, jeez

[@thechubbman]

4:29 is the heaviest Joe has ever sounded. Dude sounds like an air horn on a freighter ship, Jesus Christ...

[@ChristianPircher]

Jack Evans I always get goosebumps listening to this

[@fridz66]

Pretty sure he went balls deeper in more occasions but hell yeah! That was heavy af.

[@M4NA5]

The song that got me into Gojira. I remember stumbling upon their Myspace account 6 years ago and instantly getting hooked by this song and the album art too.

[@TheFujac]

+Manas Sharma i think the same thing happened to me......i just remember it was random and an instant love affair with their music...

[@corpsegrinder3882]

+Manas Sharma The first one I heard was Explosia and was instantly in love with Gojira

[@TheFrodoBaggins33]

+Manas Sharma Yeah, they randomly popped on my Pandora station (which barely had any extreme metal stuff on it anyways) and I've absolutely loved them ever since. Things like that convince me that there is a God. Gojira is His gift.

[@TheFujac]

holy crap.....really???

[@Kanglar]

+Manas Sharma I found them from the song Heaviest Matter of the Universe being on Jackson Guitar's myspace page. Must have been like 2006, I was blown away and loved Gojira ever since.

[@jsil_]

2:25 oh i love that headbanging SO much

[@FlyingWhale213]

2:25 Best riff ever. And the drumming ...ohhh fuuuuckk!!!

[@incognitotube8427]

3:54 felt it in my damn spine. Holy mother...

[@ashtabet3450]

the section that starts 2:26 in is one of the tightest bits of metal I've ever heard

Gojira fucking kills every other metal band. Nothing compares.

[@GrimJackal]

Amazing performance as always. Must have this DVD.

[@homersimpson2963]

3:56 - Seriously heavy.

[@FenderJazzStudent]

Definitely! Among the countless other things to love about Gojira's style of metal, I really like the trademark pick slide/glissandos in between the crushing sludge/death/breakdowns!

[@mrdeathamore]

MD Casebier I like their heavy parts like Backbone 3:25 and Vacuity 3:15 the most. It's definition of metal heaviness for me. Just nobody plays that heavy. Nofuckingbody. But this song actually is heavy just from start to finish.

[@Koffling]

Leonid Isachenko I think the only bands that gets close to truly understand "heaviness" are Meshuggah and Gojira. They are just so special in that regard. Between the Buried and Me has some really intense stuff as well. But I guess it's rather subjective. :)

[@mrdeathamore]

Koffling BTBAM is good, but I found their music too overproduced, I like their song "Silent Flight Parliament" tho. You can try Gorod's "Transcendence", some of the best shit I've heard in a weeks. Meshuggah.. you know, I'm into prog/tech metal for a long long time, but I don't like Meshuggah for some reasons. Not my band definitely :)

Waters of chaos Have invaded all space The flood on earth again I have to find the whales That once did guide us To dry lands of life I won't despair I'll break this dark all around. Under the heavy sea I'll search the flight of whales. Beneath the seas I searched And had a different view Of us on earth: The sinking ship of men But it's beyond the stars I found the place Where they were And they finally came to light. Over the winds They dwell in light Like the arrow in the sky I found myself on higher grounds From up here For I see them in flight. Now I can see the whales Looming out of the dark Like arrows in the sky I can't believe my eyes But it's true. Huge tunnel ends in light Like banks of clouds they gather See massive shape of flesh Swimming giants in the clear The mightiest comes to me I'm on the wing, wide open They teach me how to fly Slowly moving in the air. They dance. So much told with no words at all Powerful presence for only speech Breath. Over the winds They dwell in light Fly.

[@goonercestlavie]
