Hi Guys, It's huge to see that today because I grew up with the guys in the band (Mario, Joe, Christian and Jean-Michel) when we were only 15 or 16, we all lived in the south-west of France in the early 90s. At that time we had our respective metal bands, they were already focused on Death-Metal while my band was more in the Groove-Metal style. A little anecdote, at the time, they were not called Gojira but Godzilla. this album was recorded and produced in France in the Basque country in a small studio. We often met on the different small festivals, rock springboard and concerts that they had in our countryside where nothing ever happened. They came from the town of Ondres on the border of the Basque Country and the Landes, and we came from Mimizan, a seaside village on the Atlantic Ocean but situated further north in the middle of nowhere in the department of the Landes. Today they became enormous stars but at the time, we were just pimply teenagers with a passion for metal music going to school during the week and playing in small concerts on the weekends. Since then, we've lost sight of each other, I live abroad and I've chosen another professional career path (even if I'm still a metal drummer .. just for the fun of jamming), and to see you today analyzing their music is a sweet mix between stupefaction (positive) and proud to have grown and evolved with them when we were younger. In our native Southwest it is an immense pride to see his guys as nice in life as talented on stage being seen and heard around the world. I can assure you that they left from nothing, because I was there, at the beginning it was only a small metal band that played on weekends in concerts where there were not more than ten people sometimes in the room. they climbed the notoriety ladder one by one only by the sweat of their perseverance and their work. It's really great to see them being analyzed from the U.S.A. Good job dudes and thank you for them.

Congrats on having the best reaction channel out there! Since Opeth pretty much invented progressive / melodic death metal, you should react to them also. I highly Recommend The Drappery Falls from Blackwater Park released in 2001. Nothing sounded like it. That album changed metal forever.

You can actually see a difference in the newer videos compared to older ones and now they actually reference shit and have a really good ear for it. They aren't just making videos for the hell of it.

I agree 100%. My "I get it" moment was from Ill Nino and the first scream from the song "I am Loco" They were touring with Mushroom head. Before that I didnt get it. You have to find that lyric or subject where you are so passionate about that singing pretty doesnt make sense and you just want to let it all out.

[@varillict]

If you haven't seen Gojira live, I highly recommend it. As someone who grew up on Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica, Gojira is a breath of fresh air. I saw them at a a festival so they only played 45 minutes. It began with Mario casually strolling out to his drum kit and playing solo for a bit. Then the rest of the band joined in. It was amazing to witness. Joe is an incredible vocalist. I cannot say enough about Gojira. I eagerly await their next tour.

[@NickAcker]

Haha what an awesome video. Glad you guys are on the Gojira grind. Been a metal fan most of my life and honestly Gojira and other progressive metal bands are doing something incredible with their music. The beauty of prog metal is that every band is so different while still in the same genre. Some artists are more jazz influenced or others come from basic rock with strange time signatures thrown in there. I'm no expert on it but its really good for getting perspective on genres you may not actively listen to as well as giving a more open mind to said genres. If I were to recommend a song it would be the song "687 Days" by the artist "David Maxim Micic". It's instrumental but the video is brilliant and shows how creative the writing process is and also how other elements such as electronic music can fit in to metal and rock.

[@Tniedrich]

I've been a metal head my whole life so I have the ear and taste for the growling and yelling, but I also understand that the screaming factor in metal is the biggest contributing reason for people being turned off of metal, especially the good and heavy stuff. But I feel that Gojiras vocals, although still a scream/growl, is done is such a way that speaks to most listeners immediately as something unique, authentic and powerful. He's not screaming to sound nasty or heavy, there is so ego or image; he's screaming as a man, as a human, and when we hear that voice, along with songs like these, I think that it speaks to you on a primal level which is why so many Gojira fans feel a 'spiritual' appeal to the music and become life long fans. Awesome vid guys!

Well said. There are a few bands that do it well IMO: Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Amorphis, and to a lesser extent Carcass immediately come to mind. I think the trick is, even though they're growling, you can hear everything they say: it's well enunciated, and it's powerful rather than breathy.

I had never heard of them before this. Because I usually listen to music made before 2000. But Gojira is one of my new favorite bands.

[@satalac]

Saw them with Mastodon. They are quite possibly the tightest playing live band around. Simply amazing live.

[@Jattmafia313]

Fansee 13 they are pretty famous man, one of the more famous metal bands.

[@TheMattiasninja]

Saw the 3 times in 2017! Their concerts are slowly getting bigger

[@metfan4l]

Glad to see you dig Gojira so much, I agree they're a fucking amazing and very unique band. (Also, fuck the elitists.)

[@bethwebster1673]

Gojira's lyrics are actually great. Worth looking into.

[@ianwinstead3130]

Also there song names like 1000 De Tones

[@thenorthernnightmare6380]

Many people don’t look into the concepts they’re talking about, but that’s fine. The music is amazing and everyone enjoys different things about music anyway

[@MGDC37]

That chugging riff is so sick haha. PANTERA- DOMINATION LIVE IN MOSCOW!!

[@jameswhitbread574]

Why does everyone think that is so amazing? It’s iconic but it isn’t anything special.

[@David-fv3or]

Lol.. I'm a metal elitist and I just wanna say that it's awesome watching u guys slowly but surely fall in love with metal. if it was only one band to make u wanna head bang and get crazy I'm glad to see u picked a great one for that GOJIRA fyi watch a live video or actually live it's fucking mind blowing u guys just got a subscriber

[@whitefish1234]

Gentlemen!!! You are the best! Thank You as a metal fan!!!

[@chinito398]

3:35 The exact moment Ryan and George officially became Metalheads

[@mooferoo]

Gojia - Backbone for the one the most epic break-downs and then transition i know of. It gives me goosebumbs still after years of listening it.

[@JebsonofJeb]

your not wrong. Its one of the special songs on my list where i cant listen to it ever time because its so special and when i do let myself hear it (bout twice a month) i get goosebumps and im headbanging the whole way

[@lynnkingpin]

This whole album is worth a reaction

[@v616sirius]

The tremolo picking part is great

[@Manimal_Official]

Beat your feet on the ground now GO

[@arcadedomination8006]

Ah... my favorite.

[@Ruimpz]

Opeth - Ghost of Perdition or any from Opeth, just do it and you'll fucking love it

[@abixby77]

Art of Dying by Gojira. It's their best song IMO. It will send shivers down your spine.

[@WishMount]

Adam Bixby yes that build up is legit painstaking and when it hits it's orgasmic (;

[@omgmaster9985]

So true

[@allanbellemare1949]

fk yeah

[@psykosmach6132]

Totally agree man this song is sooo awesome !!!!

[@rogeranderson1744]

I've lost count how many times l've watched this vid

[@thedefiant6244]

roger anderson lol ikr saaammee

[@dark3rthanshadows]

@@thedefiant6244 back here again

[@michaelkapty3529]

Watching your reactions is awesome! You're my favourite channel. Period. Suggestion... Mastodon - Oblivion

[@MetalMallet]

Good choice!

[@turklinkenr3522]

That would be a perfect song for them to try out!

[@A7XfoREVer531]

You don’t need to ask “‘metal elitists” if Gojira is good. Everyone respects them even if it’s not their style of music. They’re fucking phenomenal

[@aAnnoyingPrince]

L'Enfant Sauvage by Gojira Both the lyrics and sounds that are created in this song specifically are very important to convey a perspective from it.

[@brucelaplante8735]

From a metalhead from the 80's, and yeah, a bit of a metal elitist, this song, and Gojira as a whole is in no uncertain terms, absolutely amazing. And the scary thing is that they are even better live. This is top shelf metal for certain.

[@modmastermind111]

I can't explain how fun is to watch George jam out to Gojira.

[@TrackHeadStudios]

Witnessing Gojira Live is so freaking intense!!! Your reaction was close to how I feel when I see them live. Keep rocking guys, your channel is BLOWiNG UP!!! Amazing.

[@greasemaster614]

TrackHead Studios Seen them 4 times live, it's incredible every time. They're my favorite band to see live by far!

[@tictocbang7443]

Right on. Same here. We followed Gojira throughout the western US, and they were on fire every night. Amazing band!

[@greasemaster614]

Tic Toc Bang holy hell do you still have ears? Haha

[@TrackHeadStudios]

Zachary Carroll I was blown away by their show. At one point my buddy and I looked at each other like “that moment there was impossible to top. Holy Shit!” We’ve attended metal shows for over three decades! Gojira went off the fucking rails!!!!’

[@TrackHeadStudios]

Tic Toc Bang Fuck yes! Wow! I honestly think I’d explode if I saw them live again... can’t wait to EXPLODE!!!!

[@A7XfoREVer531]

Flying Whales!!!!!

[@taylorfajita8260]

A7XfoREVer531 yes!!

[@Mora-tp1rl]

yessss

[@psychosis345]

They may never want to listen to another band after Flying Whales

[@williamoocarz7702]

Oh man. Flying whales... my personal #1 from them!

[@taylorfajita8260]

nick ciccaglione they will love flying whales!!

[@angiefurgason8975]

This is.... seriously....my first listen to Gojira....from this heavy metal-lovin gal, Thanku!!!!! Ima new fan....Dang

[@tom0176devo]

You should react to Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage, it is such a good song

[@dadorage1695]

Opeth - Harlequin Forest / Ghost of Perdition I've seen tons of request you HAVE to do this band. They're pretty much one of the best progressive metal band ever and it should surprise you, i would love to see a reaction on this band

[@ontrackbyallancunhafuligem6921]

dadorage Deliverance is Better.

[@dadorage1695]

Allan Cunha It's a 12 minutes song with a long (but amazing) outro. Harlequin forest has great lyrics and is a bit shorter, a 12 min song might scare them off. I would've ask for Blackwater Park

[@idolaccho]

Yeah, It is too long. They should do something shorter, idk... Black Rose Immortal?

[@derekfletcher8934]

Yesssss

[@austinnph]

I second that... Ghost of Perdition or Deliverance or any Opeth really...

[@Nachtopus]

Constantly coming back here just for the part at 3:35

[@shoro12]

Me too lol, they'd have a similar reaction to a transition in Opeth - The Funeral Portrait

[@bullmiller175]

Same here, when Ryan bust out laughing...

[@Hintz6]

Yep, exactly!

[@jendi56]

Best reaction in all of youtube!! Love it baby!

[@murillostank]

this part puts the biggest smile in my face

[@howardhavardramberg333]

I think he figured out what HEAVY means.

[@hdanish]

Also suggesting to try OPETH!

[@ontrackbyallancunhafuligem6921]

Sehs88 Yeah ..... Deliverance \m/

[@steverobertson3980]

AMEN BROTHER!!! Opeth Baying Of the Hounds or Demon of the Fall

[@Crusader982]

For real would love to see something Blackwater Park era. The Leper Affinity or Bleak

[@BliboranBass]

Yo dudes, you actually got me into gojira. They've been on my map for a while, but i hadn't really given them a shot. Thanks to you guys now I'm a fan, this album is fantastic. Keep it up! Love your reactions!

[@p.ozurkill3143]

BliboranBass exactly what I was thinking!

[@DanielM196]

Eberybody needs gojira in their life

[@nuisance78]

Same here dude

[@thedudeofshaving1749]

Same here

[@mightycabbage]

you need to listen to their 1st albums, specially "The Link" is just crazy !!!

[@jacobharris6746]

That feeling at 3:28 when we all know what's coming.... but they don't!

[@LostInVegas]

lol

[@mattwildchild]

Yeah that was the best part! We know how heavy the next riff is, they know something is coming and it hit them hard! Love this channel.

[@NomadSep]

You guys owe me a kickback-watched this reaction probably 50 times

[@ElSenji9]

If you like Progressive Metal try OPETH - Deliverance/ Ghost of Perdition/ Baying of the Hounds/ When Their music is intricate, heavy, dynamic and their vocalist has on of the most impressive vocal ranges in Metal. Highly respected in the Metal community.

[@cortlandwheeler4337]

Very true, they need to REACT to Opeth

[@Kristophe]

Gojira - Flying Whales (live at brixton academy) so you can see mario (drummer) in action

[@Asdf548]

MetalIsLife yes id love to see them react to some live performances

[@TheKAZMOLOVES63]

Yoooooo! Y'all did Gojira thoooo? I just found this channel and it is so refreshing and dope! Y'all gotta hear Flying Whales, The Art of Dying, or The Axe. It's all 🔥🔥🔥. Subbed for sure.

[@wfhalsey1]

Kazmo Kramer my girl listens to Gojira?! I like you automatically! 😊🤗

[@beardeddiabolus]

Vacuity would make for an awesome reaction video.

[@erogenesisart3111]

This is just by far my favorite Lost in Vegas clip ever... f*ck that, it's my favorite youtube clip ever. How genuine those guys are responding, how enthusiastic... and the track is just the best too.

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

I'm 52, this band changed the game. Live, this band rips your heart out unlike most modern metal outfits who are poorly EQd and lack discipline. ..Goddamnit, this is heavy.... Same album, Flying Whales will change your life. Thanks. For. Listening.

[@hoosiermbj]

Newbport Both amazing bands. That's such a tough question. Not sure I can answer it. I'm leaning Gojira but man,,,,it's just a tough question.

[@hoosiermbj]

You are so right. I'm 43, listened to metal since around 84'. These guys are my favorite. Seen them live 3 times and I'm just blown away each time. The only band I've ever tattooed on me and drove long distance to see. Just an incredible, incredible band.

[@collinqs2541]

Newbport Gojira but only because they have more stuff that “pummels”.

[@docgreybeard7057]

Jeff A. Taylor hey I'm with you I was around for the beginning of metal and this band is one of the most talented line ups I have ever heard. Saw them live and that just increased my admiration for these guys.

[@NHndrsn1234]

I been listening to Metal since I was born. I’m now 40 years old. Yes this is “EXCELLENT “ in your own words. Agree 100%!

[@serumoneonefour]

Mastodon - Oblivion You need it!

[@chuckmmci]

Jacob Eitniear yes

[@jesot]

Yeah, that one's pretty much a must-listen for people checking out metal.

[@Hoscitt]

Been a metal head for 30years but Gojira had passed me by. Thanks to binge watching this channel recently I discovered them through the Stranded video and now I'm addicted! Thanks for being my 'in' to this wonderful band 🙂👍

[@sandylewis1459]

My daughter plays this song so loud I literally feel my heart beating with the drums. She loves them!! I can appreciate the musicianship but I'm not a fan of the screaming metal. But if you want to know what's really going on in the world open yourself up to as many genres of music as you can. It's helped me communicate with my daughter when words failed us. ❤️the channel. Please A Perfect Circle " The Doomed" you will be blown away!!

[@BigMonke69420]

Your daughter is hella cool and so are you!

[@VaShthestampede2]

Seconded on "The Doomed"

[@sandylewis1459]

Thanks guys for the kind words!!

[@superma415]

Metal elitists fucking love this band and this song and this album. It gets the Elitist Stamp of Approval.

[@diogenesclay]

You guys are great, it's so much fun watching you guys jump out of your comfort zones, and develop new tastes. This is how it starts, you guys are gonna be full-blown metalheads before you know it. Either way, Gojira is legit, and you guys are super legit. No joke, you guys are fucking metal as fuck.

[@leejunfan1112]

You guys got me into this band. I listen almost everyday. Thanks guys

[@andrewmassa5318]

This is heavy and I love heavy.

[@Grymtydeify]

>Listens to intro >immense grin >"Yeah" 😂 subscribed

Dude yes 😂

[@BigMonke69420]

THE ABSOLUTE MAD MEN! THEY ACTUALLY DID IT! FUCKING GOJIRAAAAAAAAAAAA, BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR SOME FROM MARS TO SIRUS SHIT

[@taylorfajita8260]

AHorizontallyChallengedOrangutan YES DOUBLE YES I FEEL THAT!!

[@guitarbattleslive1274]

best metal album released after 2000.

[@steverobertson3980]

Mars to Sirius, so fucking great. No words to describe

[@markghammartist]

i keep coming back to this video, it reminds me of when i first got introduced to metal, that feeling of power you feel and even laughing at how good it sounds! never looked back

[@Danne2711]

Go for Flying whales next, my favorite song by Gojira🤘

[@michaelmcmurchy8291]

Live version from Hellfest, when the crowd goes silent. Gives me chills🤘🏻

[@JonArcher1113]

Definitely Flying Whales!

[@TheGlashare]

This is the best video on youtube

[@damiendelvallee7256]

Yep, I watch it from time to time, just for the feels... ;)

[@Physics_Dude]

this, and their Holy Wars and Master of Puppets videos

[@TheGlashare]

Same here :)

[@Dr.KermitPeterson]

Metal Elitist checking in. This is not good. It’s fucking great.

[@gilbertozambrano6182]

Same here

[@ericrogue6724]

same here!

[@hughknowit8767]

The reaction at #3:38 is HISTORIC...amazing!!!

[@ashloudiyi1472]

I really think you guys would love The Art of Dying by Gojira!

[@hoosiermbj]

Idletree I absolutely agree. Freaking love The Art Of Dying, I also think Flying Whales would be a great reaction for these guys.

[@jmulligan3541]

They would love The Art of Dying, but with its long intro and even longer outro, it might not be ideal for the channel. Flying Whales also has a 2 1/2 minute (fantastic) intro, but I think they'll still do it because of all the recommendations.

[@DriveFr]

Agree ! This is very prog death metal at the finest for me. One of their best songs. And i'm sure they will appreciate the drum part in it !

[@Jordzy2j]

I honestly can't believe that two non-metalheads broke down this song so well! You guys are really something special :)

[@dominus3197]

Yeah I'm in love with this channel and these guys. Lol

[@HermanPinedo]

I don’t know man lol I didn’t agree with his statements but I feel like Zog Wort was just stating his view and opinion on the matter (sounding like a reasonable human being btw), then all of a sudden FOR NO REASON Clark Campbell came in and insulted this dude calling him a queer and jealous and shit lol. So then this dude Zog Wort had to be thinking “Wow, fuck this dude and his band” so he unnecessarily started talking mad shit about Gojira and now all you ganging up on him haha. Whatever both were wrong but Clark Campbell is the true dick and the real villain here

[@icurededs]

MASTODON. MASTODON, MASTODON, MASTODON. MASTODON? MASTODON! MAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTOOOOOOOOODDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! brutal/older track-"Blood And Thunder" off LEVIATHAN-arguably one of the best guitar driven albums of all time. Mid career, more progressive-"Oblivion" off CRACK THE SKYE Modern still great, more commercial-"Curl of The Burl" from THE HUNTER. DOOOOO IIIIIIIITTTT!

[@paradisepythons4054]

Sea beast, Colony of birchmen, The Czar, Curl of the burl. I recon these guys are ready for something off Blood Mountain, i think Leviathan might scare them off. Crack the Skye is a masterpiece start to finish.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

YEEEESSSSSSSS

[@scottgillespie3838]

Anything b4 Crack the Skye..after that 👎

[@C0reyTaylor8]

Black Tongue is a must

[@PWalden762]

PLS MASTODON! Keep doing new and then old songs from bands, I'd like to see something like Colony of Birchmen or whatever other old song, but I wouldn't feel bad if they did a new one first. Edit: I'd also like to add that picking a Mastodon song, especially an old one, is almost impossible because they are all amazing. That is all!
