I don't know if everyone appreciates the amount of skill it takes to play with such perfect timing, synchronization and consistency as Gojira.

[@stepitupandgo67]

I certainly do...

[@shanemickeydeez5155]

Their riffing is so simple yet so detailed which makes it difficult

[@henryjames3975]

youre not lying.. i just saw them live and its uncanny. my opinion: best metal band of all time.

[@shariel9731]

@@henryjames3975 Music is very subjective but I 100% agree, One of my favorite bands of all time.

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

​@@henryjames3975I think it's the most interesting metal band, it's impressive what they can do with rhythm in song using all these techniques like pick scrape

[@LeVezz]

Pray's outro is the metalest thing ever

[@aidandemaria4734]

fuck yeah!

[@sifonrest3172]

Djentjira

[@kristofwynants]

Their riffs seems so simple until you try to play them... Awesome stuff

[@bindrp2]

Pray is absolutely amazing

[@BlackenedNL]

Pray is my favorite track of Magma, the whole record is amazing

[@stepitupandgo67]

mine too

[@doctorshredd]

"Stranded" made me a fan. These guys have some serious talent.... the chunky guitar and technical off time thunderous drums.

[@MorndasFifou]

The new "haunting/ghosty" approach is what made me love Gojira at first when I recently discovered them with the Magma album. I finally got something to make me proud of my country lmao Keep it up guys, amazing work!

[@nocarebear8301]

Pray is so awesome! Love it! Lowlands also!

[@lisafelines4517]

Pray is an absolute masterpiece. I would wish for everyone to appreciate this fact.

[@jamdrensefrenzy]

Don't worry, we do🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥

[@bakedspade]

Great band, incredible live.

[@derpferguson5400]

one of the best live shows I've ever seen

[@user-lb3vq7fd2o]

bakedspade saw them at I show that I went to just for opeth and was absolutely blown away. So much energy.

[@Spiderblade666]

Shooting Star, Pray and Low Lands Blow me away

[@tenchu006]

The breakdown in Pray reminds me of when I first discovered the breakdown in One. That got me hooked on Metallica and Pray got me hooked on Gojira.

[@chinomar1]

i just heard them for the first time at the Metallica concert in Pasadena didn't know about them, they are amazing

[@oscarmoreno2827]

Omar Blancas holy shit saaaaaaame

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

it's definitely a simpler album, in a similar sense that Baroness' Purple album is as well. Magma and Purple are some of my favourite albums by each respective bands so that just goes to show that simplicity isn't always a bad thing. It has its place, and sometimes works better than more technical stuff. its not too much about the skill, but the sonic experience.

[@stepitupandgo67]

and as you age you want to have some songs you can actually play without pulling a hammy...haha

[@XIntoxicationalX]

I found Baroness from my Spotify discover weekly. The purple album is beautiful but I'm not a good judge of character lol I save everything off my discover weekly and have thousands of bands. Gojira is one of my favs though

[@Nanou197373]

so funny guys, when they mime the drums & guitars. We are French! haha! Rock on

[@GabrielPereira-qv7es]

joe is just slightly kinda looking like serj from SOAD here

[@Alexanderthegreatdrummer]

Silvera always sounded a bit SOAD to me

[@user-jc3yu5gk4b]

@@Alexanderthegreatdrummer ahaha, Shooting Star main riff sounds like a heavier version of Spiders intro

[@razerultoroptimusmaximus8609]

@@Alexanderthegreatdrummer check out over the flows by gojira

[@Guitaristmalakian]

Gojira destroyed S.O.A.D lives for me. Can't watch a live of them without thinking this is shit now ^^'

[@hoofixrman]

great band, have enjoyed exploring their music

[@mementomori5958]

2:15 brothers are even in sync when saying words

[@joe99173122]

I wish they expanded on the meanings of the lyrics in "Pray". It was fascinating to hear about the musical technicalities within that song, but knowing more about the meaning behind the lyrics would have given some interesting insight.

[@Jusama1210]

Love these guys and the group!!!

[@pinkdisney4ever]

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH ! GOJIRA ROCKS \m/

[@gojira8249]

nice!!

[@nickdimaggio8324]

My god I love this band🔥

[@derpferguson5400]

They have trouble describing Shooting star... I do not. It desert rock. Look up "Asteroid" from Kyuss. All fucking amazing. One of the vest live shows I've ever seen.

[@SunRavenMusic]

I've never heard that Kyuss song till now. It kicks ass.

[@richardweaver7479]

See you on Saturday guys :)

[@chelseablue1996]

Bring on bloodstock!!

[@hectorvargasjr.6320]

The whole album is amazing

[@dujevukovic5131]

The heaviest thing in the universe is what made me fan it was simply the heaviest thing I have ever heard and I loved it

[@omramoryth]

I don't think Bleed always starts on the downstroke. Each time I play it that Herta alternates between the down and up :D and it's the same with the bass pedal.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

How cute are these two? Oh and they're incredible musicians. Awesome band!

[@RobertMartinezPhoto]

Pray intro reminds me of Wang Chung,,, To live and die in LA soundtrack

[@numadread1]

wow zero dislike

[@stepitupandgo67]

oh shit I was playing pray wrong...

[@tristenclark3035]

Magma was good but the way of all flesh album was a masterpiece, thank me later.

[@corbinm5237]

Tristen Clark I actually prefer Magma the most from Gojira,but The Way of All Flesh is amazing too. As of right now I think The Art of Dying is the best song I’ve ever heard,and I’ve heard a ton of incredible songs.

[@ignaciojauregui7423]

Are they the Duplantier Project now?

[@bitty_beastly47]

It's always been that way

[@horseradish4046]

Pray Stranded Shooting Star Low Lands Magma Silvera Only Pain The Cell Liberation Yellow Stone

[@kevinkuypers]

Meshuggah - Bleed? Any metal fan who doesn't know this song is not a real metal fan :D

[@ichigeri]

i dont. and im probably 20 years older than you.

[@kevinkuypers]

A 50 year old metal fan? Sounds interesting ;) :) Well, if you don't know that song, better get to work! It's one hell of a ride :)

[@XIntoxicationalX]

@@ichigeri check it out its a riot

[@ichigeri]

@@XIntoxicationalX I did check it out. pretty damm good. A little repetitive but its fucking dank. I listen to it regularly now. I like Joe's vocals better because he has pitch to it, Meshuugah is legit though for sure.
