Music Teacher REACTS | Gojira "Born For One Thing" | MUSIC SHED EP192

[@xRamZx]

Such an awesome song. Check out Gojira - Global Warming live in studio, chills every time I watch it.

[@patrickl671]

Top tier Gojira

[@Kulina_]

That studio version is THE GREATEST

[@scottmorey6212]

"A band is only as good as the drummer" Mario is world class - he has some masterpieces. If I'm not mistaken, the majority of Gojira songs actually start with the drum work - Mario brings something amazing to Joe, they collab a bit, bring in Christian and Jean-Michel and magic happens. But Mario is the main root of the band, he's phenomenal & great stamina (see Where Dragons Dwell live Hellfest for an example). So stoked you're adding Gojira to your playlist!

[@Swollen_Goat]

Mario Duplantier is such an amazing drummer. One of the best in metal.

[@americanmetalhead7318]

And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope - Ne Obliviscaris

[@patrickl671]

Absolutely

[@ATX-Hi8]

Gojira is fantastic. You should check out L'enfant sauvage or Flying Whales, both from earlier Gojira albums.

[@jamesm5883]

If you like this, you'll love their song Silvera, amazing song writing.

[@TheVadrigar]

"Amazonia" or "The Chant" from this album. "Stranded" or "Silvera" from the previous album. "Flying whales" is their magnus opus- do the studio version.

[@scottmorey6212]

Here's my go to list for anyone new to listening or reacting to Gojira - go feast, you won't be disappointed. Gojira and Jinjer sit atop the metal world for me. 3rd album: From mars to sirius - The heaviest matter in the universe (very heavy) - Flying whales (Gojira's signature track) - Where Dragons dwell (youtube: live at hellfest 2013 - a MUST see!!, don't miss out on this reaction) - Global warming (youtube: live studio) 4th album: The way of all flesh - Toxic Garbage Island - The art of dying (legendary track) - Vacuity - Wolf down the Earth / or / esoteric surgery 5th album: L'enfant sauvage - The gift of guilt (live Brixham academy) - L'enfant sauvage - Born in Winter - Explosia 6th album: Magma - Stranded - Silvera - Pray (live at red rocks only) - The cell / or / shooting star (live at bbc) 7th album: Fortitude - Born for one thing - Amazonia - Sphinx - New Found 2nd album: The link - Embrace the world - Indians - Rememberance (live at Link Alive) 1st album: Terra incognita - Space time - Lizard skin / or /clone - Love (from 'link alive' ideally) / or / Blow Me Away (You)niverse

[@givenspade]

That’s crazy cause I just saw Gojira a couple days ago and I’m about to see Jinjer in a couple weeks

[@scottmorey6212]

@@givenspade awesome! I only discovered Jinjer during lockdown but they're my favourite band, Wallflowers is stunning. Not brave enough to go to another gig for a while. Gojira 2019 was my last - tightly packed, I came out of venue & literally ringed out my t-shirt to get everyone else's sweat out of it before I went home, it was sodden. I can't fathom that in a post-covid world! But what a band, so good live. I was right at the front & Joe was intense but couldn't help smiling when he made eye contact with us - it was clear they were enjoying themselves. Enjoy Jinjer! 🤘

[@givenspade]

@@scottmorey6212 thanks dude! I've only been to two shows before Gojira and both were at huge seated arenas so this was really different for me to be right up close to the band like that. I was a couple interactions with Christian during the set which was awesome. Knocked Loose opened for them and they were *heavy af*. So after that experience I'm extremely excited for Suicide Silence and Jinjer!

[@kanan_abd]

Yes! More Gojira please!

[@nicholemarinaccio9747]

The first time I heard this band was live, and I was BLOWN AWAY. Sucked me right in as a fan.

[@nicktesla61]

Flying Whales by Gojira is a must-listen 🤘

[@GeminiWoods]

Hearing that live was a borderline spiritual experience for me. Fucking incredible song.

[@lisajohnson521]

They are nominated again this year for a Grammy! I REALLY hope they win. They deserve it so much. Mario won #1 Best Metal Drummer for Music Radar Awards. He's won many other awards too. I'm so happy for these guys.

[@MusicShed]

I saw that!

[@sreneethomas]

OMG - YES to all the words you said in this video! This is your best reaction I’ve seen. This song is amazing, and yes Mario Duplantier is an amazing drummer!!!

[@stewartjaquess287]

Great share. Instant add to playlist

[@gaah451]

If you want to listen to more Gojira songs, I'd recommend "Flying Whales". It's one of the best Death Metal songs I know.

[@JordanLavigneVineofLifeAlchemy]

They used to be called "Godzilla", but then they changed it to the more japanese version of the word like in the old movies! "OMG! It's Gojira!" You know, cuz they're a force of fucking nature and make you feel like a giant who can crush mountains! Great workout music! haha

[@NewGoldenAgeOfTerra]

I've been waiting for ALL the best KZbin reactors to get to this band. I'm very happy to experience you experiencing them.

[@Untoldanimations]

12:00 I find this a highly interesting remark because they’re actually only playing the harmonics of that base D note (So, D, A D, F# etc) which to our ears should sound harmonious and not dissonant at all, but then once the harmonic series drifts out of the western scale (harmonic 7th is 31 cents flat of regular 7th) I guess it has the effect of sounding dissonant.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Good clean vocal song from them- "The Shooting Star" Good heavy song from them- "Art of Dying", "Heaviest Matter of the Universe" or "The Way of All Flesh" Id argue they have no bad songs, one for every mood.

[@highandtight5544]

This was so fucking good. I love your videos! Have a musical day!

[@MasterRahl221]

Great song and great reaction!

[@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

This song came out at a perfect time for me... I was engrossed in a story that permanently left an extremely deep emotional mark on me (and fundamentally shifted my own approaches to story writing). I'll forever link Born for One Thing with that moment, it almost fit perfectly with the tone and theme of that story. Very few pieces of media leave that kind of impact... But that's not to disparage most media (I'm no cynic, I'm no elitist). I've probably waited for a good moment to write those thoughts, and I thank ya for checking out what is a fantastic track by one of the modern day legends of metal and rock.

[@morilot]

When they started they called the band Godzilla but they ran in to copyright issues so the change it to Gojira, which is the Japanese name for Godzilla. Also check out their song L'efant Sauvage it's awesome.

[@rickbegley3429]

I have seen these guys 6 times live. I assure you there is no better live band than them. None better.

[@Habzqx]

Gojira - The Heaviest matter of the Universe !

[@GenXDaddyO]

Just saw them live a few weeks ago and this was their opening song. They melted my face off. 🤘🏻

[@scottmorey6212]

Wait... How is this your first gojira reaction? I had to keep checking if this was re-uploaded. You have a deeeeep rabbit hole to discover!

[@goonercestlavie]

Excellente réaction monsieur le professeur. Great vibes. Cool breakdown. Gojira are pretty amazing. Get ready to be blown away

[@Jack_Frost13]

Yay, you did it! You gotta check whole album 'Fortitude', this is amazing. And once again - INVENT ANIMATE, PLEASE!

[@patrickl671]

Plague flowers by Ne Obliviscaris !!!

[@petkucius]

Hi, great reaction :) Gojira stands for Godzilla in Japanese. You have no idea about the live performances, I recommend two - Pray extended version at Redrock and Where dragons dwell at Hellfest. Great trip on that band for me, I hope it will be for you too. Cheers.

[@lucasdrumond7312]

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this for so long!! You gotta check Born in Winter from them, its one of the most unique songs, gonna love it! Greetings from BRASIL :3

[@ryansanschagrin3027]

Gojira is kick ass. I would love to see more. I would also like to see reactions to Chevelle. More on the hard rock spectrum but they are super talented.

[@kaitlyncall5995]

Chevelle would be amazing. Family System would be an excellent choice I think.

[@kevinmerz2036]

Just found your channel, love your insight! I wanted to dump my take on the story within the music video; I hope someone gets something out of it. So the lyrics essentially talk about how we're running from our fear of death, distracting ourselves to avoid confronting it, like taking a pill to numb the panic. The music video to me seems to represent humanity as a collective, represented through the shapeshifter. It shows how humanity is running away from death, only to reveal that the harder you run from death, the sooner you meet its embrace. Death persues, and death is the destination. Our job in this brief moment of existence given to us is to tame our fear and live while we have life, to stop and witness the beauty around us (great idea to use a museum as the setpiece) instead of trying to outrun the inevitable.

[@robdurfee6861]

For French metal you should also check out Alcest, Resolve, LANDMVRKS, and Novelists. They’re all amazing bands in their own ways

[@impiro1]

This is an excellent album, glad to see you react to it!

[@elizabethkenobi1365]

Another great video! Love discovering these bands along with you. Also, if you've never seen Avi Kaplan, he just released a new video called "First Place I Go." I'd love to see your reaction to it. Not my usual genre (as it's more blues, soul, country, gospel) but I love his deep voice. I know you like female singers with deep voices like Adele and Miley, and men with high voices like Bruno Mars, but for me it's nice to hear men in the lower register!

[@bladapew]

I really want to see you do one on Imminence. Any song really. I know many others would probably enjoy your style of music breakdown on them. Also, Gojira always delivers.

[@gordonbecker1456]

Manchester Orchestra-The Silence

[@jraffxx]

Crazy but there is no changes of time signature. It's all 4/4 with a lot of triplets and dynamics. Mario nails it.

[@GeminiWoods]

Idk why but this song never really quite vibed with me and I love Gojira. They have some real monsters in their catalog though. Edit: Gojira is really into saving the planet and a lot of their music tends to deal with nature and pollution and humanity.

[@Raaxshas]

from a drummers perspective, this song is nothing short from their amazing collection.

[@killerkord]

Loving the continued venture into Metal. Gojira are phenomenal musicians. In the metal scene, they'd be older tunes, but David would get a kick out of some OG Protest the Hero tracks! && still hopeful and anticipating a look into Don Broco at some point!

[@patfix]

Gojira

[@jasonbaluk8345]

I would absolutely love to see your reaction to a band I have always admired from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Their name is No Means No. I suggest the song Humans. Trust me they are unlike anything you have ever heard. You will not be disappointed. Keep the reactions coming.

[@bogdan0402]

Great job as always! Thanks, David! Btw you should check out new Silk Sonic's masterpiece - Put On A Smile

[@mgrzx3367]

I've had a couple of Gojira's songs on a playlist for years. I didn't know they were French. But I knew I loved their music. Gojira is Godzilla in Japanese. The awesome sauce You serve is the best I hear. Arigato Senpai.

[@papasmjordeig]

You should really listen to either Flying Whales or Silvera! Gojira is such an amazing band!!

[@Immortium]

Global Warmimg by Gojira is a definite must, it's such a good song from them

[@kaitlyncall5995]

The Sphinx or Oroborus have to be next. Stranded is also great for more clean vocals from Joe!

[@Raaxshas]

I have been listening to metal for 20+ years and I believe Mario Duplantier is the greatest metal drummer of our time

[@chpc6217]

Love your analysis and appreciation for other genres and the skill it takes to write and perform these songs! Another genre I would love to see you breakdown is melodic hardcore. Counterparts is a band of incredible writers and to see a reaction to their guitar demonstration of “Compass” would be badass!

[@chpc6217]

Or “Collapse” which is very melodic and has a music video

[@bouf9151]

you should check out Bad Omens' new song - THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND its amazing.

[@eemirhanbilici]

more gojira please :)

[@Nightwishmaster]

Awesome to see Gojira reactions, they're so damn good. Mario is a monster, incredible drummer. Gotta ask, when are you going to get to Nighwish? I know they're so commonly reacted to but there's a reason for that! Please check out Ghost Live Score from their Wacken show! There are so many other great songs to go to from there but if you do that the Nighwish Army will show up and guide you from there hahahah.

[@daniilzhirkov8510]

more gojira please

[@jreyman]

You need to check out some Opeth (progressive metal). Epica, would be another great band to delve into.

[@TheJesse1515]

Mr music!! You NEED to do a snot song! Let it change your life. Don’t live in the dark forever

[@sheldons.7077]

Pleasepleaseplease do levitation 21 by Tigran Hamasyan next! I wanna see you try and figure out what exactly he's playing on piano. Plus trying to count in 21/16 will be a nice challenge lol

[@Betterpigeon]

Katatonia Katatonia Katatonia Katatonia Katatonia Katatonia

[@kartiksingh6468]

Please check out flying whales by them!

[@jackingof1093]

My guy you gotta react to Put On A Smile by Silk Sonic.

[@themightymcb7310]

Alright, it seems like you haven't checked out The Contortionist yet, so do yourself a favor and check out Language Parts 1 and 2 (please do them together). They're fucking incredible. Also, TesseracT would be a good fit for this channel too, either Dystopia or Of Mind-Nocturne would be perfect.

[@jamiesdivision3742]

Could you please react to Chimaira - Six (2007) [Studio Performance]. Thank you for everything you do.

[@MrBoston1630]

My only wish is for you to react to thank you scientist

[@joshtowe95]

Please do Rivers of Nihil "A silent life"... if you think you can handle Metal with a saxophone please 🤣🤯🔥

[@joshtowe95]

Gojira is my favorite metal band but I really believe Rivers of Nihil is a band that is overlooked in the reactions.

[@thewbsart]

Very nice analysis and react. One thing though. The album of Silk Sonic just came out. Maybe do a react to the album as a whole. I promise; it won't leave you dissapointed ;)

[@tomba8239]

REACT TO ESTOY AZULADO- SODA ESTEREO! PLEASE!

[@deewalka]

[@drneildurrant]

Gojira 5 By?

[@bromanvt]

Mario is top tier

[@kingmichael5446]

Probably should have started with Stranded

[@chizmo7]

I hate music like this.

[@MusicShed]

Why hate? Why not say “this doesn’t resonate with me?”

[@tomba8239]

REACT TO ESTOY AZULADO- SODA ESTEREO! PLEASE!
