[@AlfredSoul]

Him coming back with the blanket as a hood is a damn mood.

[@ItamarvhVahnish]

That chorus though, maks me cry. The way Gojira is able to create a melody with growls and very heavy music is beautiful. A lot of bands will tone done the intensity of the music in the melodic parts and then go back to heavy. But Gojira has a way to create a beautiful, melodic, touching, music without toning it down, not a notch. Yes, it's an acquired taste for sure but absolutely love them.

[@riffgroove]

That final riff is just FILTHY. There is something special about Gojira. A lot of people refer to them as "prog." And while I hesitate to use that term, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of it's parts. I can pick up my guitar and pick out pretty much any of their riffs fairly quickly, but there is something about the way they put their songs together that makes them so musically interesting. And I reiterate, you have never seen a more devastating live band in your entire life.

[@NickyHendriks]

@@oyc7946 this. The only thing that would make them 'prog' is the odd time signatures but Gojira is technical death metal.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

«its» parts.

[@regularhuman7939]

They may not be prog metal but they do have some elements of Prog metal

[@ebinddd1459]

I get what you mean, Gojira is something special. People could say that they have elements of prog or death or whatever but in the the end Gojira truly is Gojira. They are one of a kind and i love em to death❤️

[@user-hk7hz9cn7v]

Since when is Prog a bad word? It literally makes me want to listen to a band if they’re Prog

[@SeanD313]

Ryan De Boer probably not, which is why it would be so entertaining to watch!

[@SeanD313]

Jesus Christ Denton certainly not. I was thinking something more accessible/commercial, like “I”. 😁

[@SeanD313]

“Do Not Look Down” might be a good one. Not too out there, has some groove/funk to it... could be good.

[@JonNo86]

Mario has recently put out several KZbin videos with just him playing a selection of songs as well as doing quick drum solos. I've been a drummer for 25 years, and I don't think there are many people who can match him as far as skill power and speed.

[@pauldunay7415]

I don’t personally drum but it seems his style is unparalleled . Fresh and unique

[@senorchips8528]

I promise, you won’t ever be disappointed with Gojira. You gotta try Where Dragons Dwell (live), Silvera, Pain Is A Master, and/or Vaucity. Edit: Where Dragons Dwell, Mario (the drummer) goes at least a solid minute and a half of double bass kicks

[@victorrancor90]

Senor Chips my last creation and mouth of kala

[@TheMetalfan123]

Something near 4 minutes I think

[@XDeBvX]

It’s about 4 minutes of double bass kicks straight...

[@lassiliimakka]

Even crazier is From the sky. Basically the whole song is just double kicks

[@guudal6973]

it's about 4 min, 6 when they play the long version

[@tampastu]

Dude, you are hooked. I had the same reaction the first time I listened to the tracks you've done this week. Here's the thing ... that's just the first listen. Wait till you put them on repeat and start to dig in ... find all the subtleties you missed the first couple of times. I was never into the death metal scene because of the screaming too, but for me, these vocals really are another instrument and add to the vibe rather than detract from it. And if you ever have the chance to see them live, you owe it to yourself. They give off such positive energy - you can tell they love performing for their fans, and they sure as hell bring it!

[@KrakenIsMahB]

thats philosophy about vocals i made too, restricting vocals to clean-only is like saying instruments should be played only one way, not using entire scale they provide. And god damn, it hits hard when played right, and thats good

[@vinomsnake]

THE SUBTLETIES!!!!!

[@uwetheiss970]

@@KrakenIsMahB Stay with your analogy. Using only clean vocals is like using only clean guitars. In metal we like to distort guitars and vocals! That doesn't mean we don't also like them clean, but we like the whole spectrum :D

[@masso392]

I second this, at first i was like "who tf likes this, its awful" now im like "this is still brutal and heavy as shit...and i LOVE it"

[@AlfredSoul]

I got into Slipknot during a time when Corey Taylor started mixing up his vocals more and was switching between the gutteral shouts and his clean singing throughout songs and I always hated the parts of the songs where the vocals were harsh, when listening to them. I feel like this is a journey every fan of heavy metal experiences at some point.

[@_omnisl4sh]

Ive always loved Joe's vocals, weird

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

The Gift of Guilt please! The song that got me into them! 🤘🏻

[@WishMount]

The guitar at the end is a reversed track of another song off the album, they do this in a few on their albums. Gojira is simply art, from Mario Duplantier being the greatest drummer of our generation to Joe Duplantier having the harsh but melodic vocals it’s amazing. Jean-Michel Labadie absolutely throws his heart into the bass and Christian Andreu with his crazy rhythms! The Gift of guilt is a less heavy track for you, or the shooting star. Their latest album (Magma) is tailored for newer listeners

I saw Gojira live in a small venue in Glasgow. I had this great spot where I could lean against a wall, and I could feel the vibration of the double bass going through the walls. It was amazing. He is such a great drummer.

Gojira: Toxic Garbage Island, Where Dragons Dwell, Gift of Guilt- all live- and The Clone. Those are my suggestions for you to listen to for Gojira. Can't wait to see more of your videos! I'm loving your reactions ^_^

[@lonely_adolescent2715]

I'm so jealous. You get to experience Gojira for the first time, something I'll never be able to do, no matter how much I'd want to. Breathe it in, your journey through their music has only just begun

Really enjoying your gojira videos man. I’m a massive fan of theirs and it always makes me happy to see other people enjoy them as well, especially since you’re just now experiencing them. You mentioned not liking death metal growls for the entirety of a song so I’d recommend checking out their newest album, Magma. Joe Duplantier (their lead guitar and vocals) tries a lot of new styles in the album. Shooting Star is a great place to start :)

Man you have to check out Esoteric Surgery by Gojira when you get a chance the drums are fucking sick especially the way it locks in with the guitars. This track is so underrated and one of my favorites. Mario is a BEAST when it comes to drums

[@peyman4357]

I think you should try Opeth too. React to Blackwater Park track from them. You won't regret it

[@ifonly2675]

It's not just about technical abilities. Gojira gives me those deep feelings that no other music band does

[@leafsfan1728]

Keep going with Gojira! I haven't delved too deeply into their catalogue yet but everything I've heard has been great!!

[@Kenjames10]

When I got metal I first started with Metallica then Nightwish, Megadeth and Rammstein. Pretty much after that I got into the really heavy shit where you had screams and growls. It was hard to listen at first because I had gotten used to the more cleaner vocals. But over time I started to understand them more and started to enjoy them. They bring more even heaviness and emotion to the tracks.

[@frostogtaake]

Yeah, these guys are something special. Can't remember if you've done it yet, but The Gift of Guilt live is a must

[@scott2425]

From Mars to Sirius and The Way of All Flesh have no bad songs on them and will be worthy of entire album reactions much like you did with Tool.

[@dangr123]

The vocals do take a lot of getting used to. It's taken me a long time. I think it might be necessary for music that heavy though.

[@raymondfernandez3601]

Oh my goodness, been jamming Gojira recently, love your flying whales reaction. Silvera and Stranded are great tracks, honesly this is the first time hearing this track along with you and my goodness why have I not come across this one yet. AMAZING.

[@matteofraca6839]

I like to watch this kind of video because they make me listen very carefully to these songs and catch every little details that the artists put into it.

This song is how my anxiety makes me feel all day every day

[@phidipidies]

This was my favourite album when it came out 12 years ago. So ahead of its time. I still have a burning memory of listening to it on my iPod shuffle, walking down the road on a winter night in my hometown. Seeing the trees covered in snow, with the chilling wind and these nasty riffs in my ear is a memory I will never forget.

[@orion_5128]

The drums on this song are absolutely nuts, especially that part in the beginning after that cool intro. Gojira is one of those bands that I can just listen to for hours and not get tired of them. Next you should react to Silvera or Born in Winter! And if you like the fast double bass check out Where Dragons Dwell.

[@i_gman]

auto like) try song "Silvera". One of the best. And w8 Korn - This Loss. ))) thx for all

[@eniller]

yey u did it! now time for remembrance. live from the link alive is out there for u and us :)

[@Lostsage01]

Awesome! New sub here, and yes Gojira is a crazy metal band that has a way of sinking their hooks into you. Check out Vacuity from this same album - it’s one of the songs that really makes you understand why the band is named after Godzilla. Slainte! 🍺🤘

[@Ulasamasa]

So good to see someone who enjoys the complexity of Gojira ! Makes me smile =) There are some truly amazing videos of them you might like but im thinking the Live version of Where Dragons Dwell at Hellfest. You will be amazed at the drumming again i promise !

"Ocean planet" and "clone" are two amazing options too, I love the faces that you do, keep on it ;)

[@theone132435]

The end of the song is the start and main riff of the next song on the same album played backwards. The song is called Esoteric Surgery and it is excellent

[@juanmarodriguez2987]

Meshuggah-Bleed (drum cam) if you want to be blown away

[@ryandeboer9910]

No, for the love of God, no to Bleed. It’s been done to death, and it really isn’t the best song to introduce someone to. Maybe something a little more dynamic like Electric Red, or something digestible like Break those Bones

[@juanmarodriguez2987]

I thought Bleed because of what he said of the double bass, but yeah I would also recommend Demiurge or Clockworks

[@bartgroot3672]

Haha spot on! Brings me back to my first listen-through.. Blown away! You've had some unique sounding bands on your channel; Opeth, Zeppelin and now Gojira. Plenty of metal bands and genres can be 'more of the same' (And still be awesome ofc.) But there are also a few gems who invent new or their own things, who become true classics, like the ones on your channel. I'm thinking about some psychedelic cuts to your list: "Cult of Luna", Isis (the band: rip.) "Russian Circles" (instrumental + great song writing!). Or if you like more death(-ish) metal; Akercocke (Uk, big vocal range as well as great songwriting.), Gorefest (old dutch band, you'll like the last 2 records, great song writing) or Death (Roughly the 'slayer' type for deathmetal) Or maybe not even metal: Primus, Mogwai.. So much great music, so much to talk about haha. Thank you for reminding me.

[@mattdamon9714]

A great job on the video bro. I think musically, Gojira is top notch when it comes to creativity. However, for me, the vocals don't strike me the way I was hoping they would. With the soul inspiring magic that say Tool gives. But I still Like what they did with this one 👍

[@BegToDiffah]

Drew, I'm with you on the whole growling vocal style. I really don't like it at all but for some magical reason I love it with Gojira! And they seem to be moving away from it a little bit on the latest album Magma. Gojira, Devin Townsend, and the guitarist from Meshuggah did a track called 'Blood and Salt' that was intended for an album that never got released, but you can find it on KZbin. It may be one of the greatest metal songs ever made.... the metal equivalent to discovering pizza.

I remember reacting like this guy... Fell in love with rock when I was 10 because of GTA: Vice city and when I was a kid MTV actually played music, and good music at that... Next thing you know I was 17 and thought some heavy rock was hard. Then I've heard of Lamb of God, Devildriver, Gojira, As I Lay Dying, Pantera, Judas Priest and many more through a friend and my whole world changed. Now I'm 27 and this is just another monday... For 10 straight years I've listened to album after album, band after band and it's the best shit that ever happened to me. Metal is a wonderland and the best part is, there's something for everyone. Most original music on the planet. And a recommendation... Listen to Igorrr. Make a reaction video. It'll be fun. :D
