Guitar Teacher REACTS: GOJIRA "The Gift Of Guilt" | LIVE 4K

[@SamMo0903]

Love that you’re bringing this band to a different audience than normal. Gojira have been one of my favorites for almost 6 years now, truly masters of their craft.

[@Guitargate]

Thx Sam!

[@fatsuperfly]

I agree, it is a style, you love it or hate, but cool that ppl are grabbing to it, and explain why they like some stuff. You can be a guitar player, and it may not be your style, but they explain why it can work.

[@thompson924]

heaviest matter of the universe would be nuts reaction on this channel

[@wllulu]

I agree

[@farrocha1989]

Gojira is one of the best bands I’ve ever seen live.

[@vapoe]

Fact

[@mx3graphx114]

Agreed. My friend got me to go see them live. I had never heard of them before but I had heard of deftones so I went. I’ve always like heavy music seen all my favorites live, but this band was on another level the energy was unreal. No performance I’ve seen has come close!

[@chrismelvin1583]

One of the best bands period. Not my personal favorite, but they are definitely up there with Lamb of God.

[@Arawadewiseman]

Same, I’ve seen a lot of great concerts but Gojira was amazing live.

[@mot_wadd3441]

[@UseTheBoost3D]

Gojira has consistently been my favorite band since I saw them open for Metallica in 2009. Never found any other band that comes close to their sound. It's heavy, groovy, and spacey. A lot of their music also carries a great message, mostly environmental. I never miss em when they come to town.

[@paulatreides1354]

damn you saw them in their peak meaning 2009 , every performances is incredible but especially in 2009 , joe's voice that year was awesome

[@NATE1717BALLIN]

You should Check out Fit For A Autopsy

[@wllulu]

I saw them in 2016 and it's been my favourite band since then

[@moonman9j9]

Poor Metallica. Poor Lars lmfao

You have GOT to check out Meshuggah then :) Gojira and Meshuggah are like a match made in heaven.

Gojira is the one band i believe EVERYONE should experience live at least once in their life. Seeing them live is just a visceral, spiritual experience. Theres just something about them.

[@Arithekiller]

Seen them for the first time 2 weeks ago and they were indeed incredible live, and they played this song towards the end of the set so I can now die in peace

[@boonerichardson1639]

I look forward to finding out for myself in a few weeks!

Several tries before have fallen through. Have tickets for Gojira, Mastodon and Lorna Shore in August. Hopefully it works out this time.

[@Pupinski711]

Vocals being okay???? They are hella good especially in that era and super raw

[@jez_77]

Joe's vocals are actually extremely unique, since he mixes clean voice with growl. There's like a very audible clean tone underneath his very brutal, distorted growl/scream. Its not only really difficult but nobody does this the way that Joe does. Thats what makes his singing so good and original

[@henryatkinson8870]

I normally don’t listen to metal but I got a lot out of this lesson. Videos like this don’t have to be perfect. Just instructive.

[@Lovell93]

Metal is where you will find some of the best guitar playing you've ever seen! Not that there aren't fantastic guitarists in other genres, it's just metal guitarists tend to do some of the craziest stuff!

[@Ghostweaver]

YES! Dude, my 2 favorite bands are Gojira and Opeth and you've hit both of them recently. Right on!

[@zeppleymusic6793]

Finally got to see Gojira live with Deftones last year. My favorite metal band! Amazing live band! Great video.

[@mastod0n1]

This was their closing song when I saw them last month. I had been on my feet all day at work and then drove an hour and a half to the venue and stood on my feet for another 4 hours from when doors opened to when Gojira took the stage. My legs and feet were hurting, I had been awake for almost 18 hours by the time they started but I forgot about all of that. Such a great live band.

[@tor2886]

Gojira is fantastic, seen them live a few times.

[@lkjh467]

Backbone!! Genius song from a few years ago. I'm pretty new to Gojira too, and am still exploring, but haven't been this excited by a heavy band for years. They are absolutely the real thing.

[@paulatreides1354]

few years ..17 years man ..we're getting old xd

[@Tritoness]

Just like we shouldn’t sleep on EVH amps, don’t sleep on Gojira! U know, i love everything about them, their evolution, their sound, their story… And Mario does not use triggers. He’s been named best metal drummer couple of times for a reason. He’s just so musical..

[@SrgntSprnkls77]

mario uses triggers on his bass drums, he said so in an interview years ago. doesnt take away from his skill, triggers are the norm in modern metal

[@TheKerrby]

For bigger venues he definitely uses triggers.

[@tacticalteager7920]

Gojira is the best live performance I've seen to date. I simply can't tell you how much of an understatement that is either.

[@Zbtjose]

Please do so much more Gojira they are one of my favorite bands ever and i feel like they will be yours too!

[@mitchweiner]

I’ve never been a fan of metal vocals like this but the music is incredibly tight!

[@RalphBellairs]

These guys are all phenomenal, but Jean-Michel is the most under-rated bass player in metal imho.

Gonna see Gojira in April! Such a heavy, groovy band!

[@marcio1745]

I was never a fan of this type of music but then I listened to Gojira and I'm simply blown away. I am a drummer and this drummer is so versatile and adds so many different flavors to every song. They made this heavy thing into a melodic type music.

[@keithjones5309]

I'm a big fan of Flying Whales by them, it's very atmospheric. That whole album (From Mars to Sirius) is great. Of course, so is this one (L'Enfant Sauvage), as is Magma, and Fortitude, and....well, all of them. Try out "Stranded", "Flying Whales", "Amazonia".

[@420Prog]

I discovered Gojira about two years ago and I’m so happy I did! Learning all their songs now. Next from Gojira you should check out Pray (Live at red rocks). Amazing performance, this is the song im struggling with now, I´m up to 75% speed on this one, its a tough one :)

[@FahrdarisBiscuit]

Absolutely wicked you're checking them out. It's pronounce Go-jee-rah btw. :) As for the boys, Mario is clean, timed, and seemingly effortless perfection on drums. Joe brought some different sounds to guitar, and the band as a whole brought; in my view; a new genre, or at least unique in their genre. The Duplantier brothers are truly just musical geniuses. Phenomenal bassist as well. I'll be seeing them in Montreal in August. Meet & Greet. Can not freakin' wait! \m/

Gojira is easily one of my favorite bands. Michael if you're ever bored, check out Blind Guardian. They're a power metal band from Germany that does a lot of Lord of the Ring lyric/themed songs/albums. Both guitarists grew up being classically trained and it shows through their guitar playing. Mordred's Song is probably a good start. Some acoustic mixed in.

[@eliriddle331]

Check out Stranded. The time signatures between the guitars and drums is rad.

[@megadeth8592]

some other songs with interesting guitar parts are The Way of All Flesh, Oroborus, and space time

[@barbados1267]

MARIO DUPLANTIER uses hybrid triggering on his bass drums so their half triggered and half acoustic so he can tighten up the overtones and stuff and Mario loves acoustic sounds so nothing else is triggered his snare his toms and his symbols no triggers without triggers the bassdrums would sound a little mushy it’s like putting a Guitar distortion pedal on your guitar it helps out the distortion but that’s the only reason why he has hybrid triggering their first 2001 album terra incognita they were completely acoustic but in their next album the Link btw the best the link songs are Rememberance, Embrace the world, and Death of me that album Mario stepped his double bass game up and blast beats so ge started using triggers
