@NM-xi8or Meshuggah tops all of them. I fckin love Gojira, saw them twice live but Meshuggah is on another level

[@antoinegesret4770]

@NM-xi8or I was not discussing music taste or anything, you can think that they are overated that's fine to me. But regarding "effortless" accuracy live like you said, they are on another level than Gojira and Pantera. There is no need to debate it, that's a fact. If you're a musician you can't deny it

[@Eggo5150]

Saw them open up in Kansas City in 07 with Machine Head, Trivium, and Lamb of God. My brother and I got there early and hit the bar at the back of the club. They came out to Flying Whales, so that slow intro started right after the lights went off. They all come out lookin' like Metallica from the 80's, all in black and wristbands. We started walking up to the stage and that shit hit... it was like we were walking in to a wall. There's no describing it. I was instantly hooked. There were a lot of memorable moments from that show, but to this day, my brother and I still talk about the first time Gojira hit us in the face with sound. No lookin' back since.

[@Fanrose2475]

I need to get head there

[@StrikerUSS]

Indeed. The Festival itself is organized as a 'thank you' to the volunteers for the - pardon my bad translation - Great Orchestra for the Holiday Help, which is a non-profit organization with a goal of collecting money for the hospital equipment, mostly for sick children. Festival itself is paid for by the sponsors and the attendance is free for everyone.

Maybe true and he toned it down in some parts and didn’t scream, but it’s almost like it became better! This version of L’enfant Sauvage with less screaming almost has like a different dimension to it and it’s so fucking good. How can a singer be toning it down and still be incredible, if not better?!

No doubt. That had to be their biggest to date.

[@tomaszbilewicz]

It is not that much about the nationality as about the fest itself. It's Polish Woodstock festival. However, they had to change the name of the fest last year. It is the biggest open air free festival, no tickets, hence so many people. And it actually doesn't matter if it is metal or reggae concert. There is no other place like that in the whole country, it is an enclave of real freedom. This is our sacred place and we celebrate each concert there that way. We warmly invite you to come and be happy with this extraordinary community we have there. The fest takes place on the Polish-German border on the first weekend of August. If Gojira wins the Golden Spinning award in the voting of Woodstock fans, they should come again to receive the award. This is how it usually works with Woodstock. However, big foreign bands rarely come for the award.

Yeah, we're kinda hyper people at the concerts, however no comparison with Japan or South America, for instance. These folks there are maaad!

To the people complaining about the wall of death - this is not typical metal music festival like wacken or download where you can assume the most people will know gojira's songs. It's more like roskilde or glastonbury, a lot of rock, punk, folk, etc. Taking that into consideration, it all went pretty well I think.

[@SamiKarvinen]

The fact that the wall of death started forming by its own meant they clearly knew what song it was, on top of knowing that they do wall of deaths at that part of the song. -1 points to Poland.

I'm 40 years old, saw many Pantera concerts in my early Late teens, early 20's when they were in their prime...just as Trendkill was coming out (was their best time imo)...This is the only band out right now that can compare to that type of brutalness of live metal. Blood brothers that play guitar and drums together are on a whole different level

[@borngeek]

If you get the opportunity, do watch them live. I have seen them once when they came to my country and I still get goosebumps thinking about it. It's like you are experiencing something for the first time, the music is loud and brutal but yet melodic and gives you a spiritual experience.

[@Tolucoregonian]

If bands allow they upload these recordings to their official youtube kzbin.info, or like in this case the bands upload themselves.
