If you want to hear some of my original music you can go here. I need to get back to recording. I did this in my bedroom, all instrument and vocal i did myself in one or two takes. It's really just sketches of song. Todd

Thanks for watching the video Gojira - The Art Of Dying - First Listen/Reaction

A lot of people don't like long repeated riffs, but I like it b/c its almost like entering a trance or some state of "unthinking" if you just concentrate on the riff and clear your mind. Meshuggah does this as well, but are a lot heavier and more progressive. It took me a long time to finally understand them b/c their music is not an easy listen where you "get" the song after one play. There are songs that I thought were trash that I know find completely mesmerizing after repeated listening sessions.

The drum beat is a so called blast beat. The idea is that you play the sixteenth of a beat devided between one foot on the kick and one hand on the snare. So you start with a bass drum kick on '1', the 'e' is a snare hit, the '&' a foot again and the 'a' back to the snare. As a right side dominant drummer that would be played with the right foot and the left hand, leaving your right hand to play either together with your right foot on the ride cymbal or hi-hats and accent every now and than on a crash, china or splash or do whatever else might work. There are though a bunch of variations of bladt beats. A very good video on that would be 50 shades of blast beats by Kevin Paradis here on KZbin Hope this helps

The backwards part is the beginning riff of Esoteric Surgery acoustic which is the next song after The Art of Dying

[@temporalmilieu]

can't wait until you get to their new album for Born this way and Amazonia music videos

[@billwell9266]

top tier song!

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Love seeing open minded people "absorb" Gojira. It's almost too complex and confusing to sit right the first time, but you're always back for more, until it's an addiction lol.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Well said Jordan!

[@paulatreides1354]

you're right about the trans thing , they like to repeat a riff in a loop , some people like some others don't . i'm surprised you like the song , i thought the way of all flesh ( the song ) was not yur cup of tea . The reversed delay notes at the very end are actually the note of the intro of the next song "Esoteric Surgery " ( one of the most difficult Gojira song to play in terms of stamina , i highly recommend that one too ) honestly recently i paid more attention to Gojira's lyrics and man .;some of them bring tears to my eyes it's crazy ..like Wolf down the earth .. but yeah first track of that album is Oroborus , you HAVE t o check the live version at eurockeene 2009 juts the best performance of that song

[@natergater10]

Awesome reaction! I was blown away the first time I heard the middle section with the double kick. Also from my experience trace inducing fade outs are pretty common by these guys.

[@ldmb1966]

Great reaction todd. your reactions are always top notch. "Exist - Avenged Sevenfold" is a must-do prog metal track!

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Thank you Cosmo, it's easy when the music is awesome!

[@Tritoness]

Only thing i dislike on this track are the vocals actually… that’s why i prefer the live version for example for this one. Ocean Planet - live rio The Link @ The Link Alive Up next?

[@user-xt4wj3ke5i]

Tf u saying😭 the vocals in this one are brutal

[@Tritoness]

@@user-xt4wj3ke5i actually it’s the first verse that puts me off on this one. I’d rather have just the breakdown with no first verse, like they do live, just to let it breathe a bit. Idk i really don’t like that first line haha. The restis top notch. The intro and outro are just exquisit

[@flataffect]

@@TritonessI reckon you don’t like it because it’s off beat off kilter

[@Tritoness]

@@flataffect well yes, just sounds out of place for me
