[@koppsal]

Next songs: Flying whales, born in winter, silvera, The gift of guilt, another world

[@andreaseckhoff1615]

You have to listen to Gojira's "heaviest matter of the universe" => the title says everything!!

[@andrewcarter1747]

I have always felt that Backbone, from the same album, did the same thing but much better IMO.

[@omkarbharambe8673]

@@andrewcarter1747 both are like some of the heaviest songs.

[@joaogabrielmusic3815]

Do Gojira - Where Dragons Dwell, do it live. Everybody will agree with me about this one.

[@seanmurphy637]

I second this suggestion. An absolute must from the same Hellfest concert. An epic example of drumming stamina. And some awesome riffs

[@Triskaan]

Global Warming, live in studio would be an insane choice for him to check out as well.

[@switchboardrevelry4275]

Mario is a drum god

[@mmmmbye3687]

Third this. Mario is an absolute monster!

[@krisdaschwab912]

Yup

[@Nitlda]

"The drummer is doing some work" you're in for a treat, that one is one if not the least complex Gojira song on the drums! I see there are already many great recommendations for more Gojira, so I have nothing to add. Hope you have a nice day!

[@puppetmaster8551]

Mario is so good, forsure one of the best in the business today.

[@korvik933]

Welcome to Gojira my friend I highly recommend: Where Dragons Dwell Heaviest Matter in the Universe The Gift of Guilt And I *definitely* recommend to do those LIVE because their performance is spectacular

[@theatomicpirategirl]

I’m fairly new to Gojira (discovered them myself about a year ago) but I can tell a Gojira song in the opening bars. They have a unique sound and way of playing. It can be completely hypnotizing. They are great and unique storytellers.

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

Toxic Garbage Island from the show in France several years ago. I should probably add that Gojira is the best sounding heavy act I've ever seen live.

[@kai.westerkamp]

Uhh Gojira good choice. Next song from them should be L’Enfant sauvage

[@nicok7695]

Add my voice to that!

[@everett880]

Looks like hat’s gone off for the Duplantiers 🤘🏻

[@TankTheTech]

Quickest hat removal so far. Hahaha

[@EbizzerHH]

Are they really that big that they all playing signature guitars? Answer: YES ^^ Made my day

[@RKDuskHaven]

Love the song, one of my favorites by Gojira! Also love that Strapping Young Lad is playing in the background in the intro.

[@inkubuzz]

Gojira - Flying Whales (Live at Resurrection Fest 2014, Spain)

[@TheRoamingHazard]

They don't do the melodic intro on this one but as far as the crowd goes this one is super hype!!!

[@scottmorey6212]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked thinking it was 'where dragons dwell' at hellfest. Tank, you MUST react to that (same festival, Hellfest '13). It's insane by all accounts. Loving the work! Don't apologise for headbanging, I'd be concerned if you didn't!

[@riffgroove]

To this day, Meshuggah and Gojira are the two most devastating live bands I've ever seen.

[@riffgroove]

It's funny.... people sometimes like to classify Gojira as "prog-metal." I kinda hesitate to call them that, but they are definitely a group where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Their riffs are not difficult to play at all, anyone with a passing knowledge of guitar or bass can figure any of them out in a minute or two. But there is definitely something about the way they put their songs together that makes them such a stellar group. Great reaction, btw. 👍

[@jeremyburton2352]

Gojira is a different animal....literary!!!🤘🏽🔥💀

[@joshtowe95]

"Vacuity, art of dying, toxic garbage island and gift of guilt" all badass songs🤘🔥🤘🔥 they are a french group, the drummer Mario Duplantier is friggin amazing. I believe the lead singer and drummer are brothers.

[@wolverine669]

Some background info about the album. By April 2015, the studio was complete and the band began recording music. However, recording of the album was put on hold when Joe Duplantier and Mario Duplantier's mother fell ill and died. The band spent some time touring before returning to studio to continue recording. Mixing of the album was completed in February 2016 Also if remember correctly, this song is a thing they dealing w/ the case Ans, as I said earlier, older Orbit Culture has a lot of similarities w/ this. Check out O.C. album "Rasen"

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks for the info, Mika!

[@stups9975]

GOJIRA is one of my favorite bands. They freaking rule. New stuff , old stuff it’s all good. Any song that people here suggest will be good!

[@wtfisgoingonhere1076]

That RIFFFFFFFFF It’s going to be looked back on in 30 years as iconic. How could it not? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤘🏻

[@TankTheTech]

I agree.

[@MW-cx3sb]

Gojira is like the best thing in metal these days as far as their everlasting freshness goes.

[@ajmarliere]

Seeing them live is crazy. Theyre so loud but so clean. You definitely feel the bass in your chest like no other band.

[@haakonash]

I saw Gojira as a support act in 2010 and they whiped the floor with the main act. Who was the main act again.... let me see... oh, it was Metallica. Well...

[@mannedyeti7587]

First time I ever listened to Gojira, I went to a little record shop before I joined the Army in 06 and asked for some heavy metal, dude at the counter told me "turn around, 3rd shelf down far left" did and the Gojira-From Mars to Sirius album was there and had a sticker on it from some metal magazine that said "The heaviest fucking metal you will hear this year!" It was not lying been a fan since then. Love the channel man, keep up the awesome videos.

[@TankTheTech]

That's fucking awesome! Hahaha. Thanks man!

[@xXxARCHANGELxXx2]

Flying Whales and Heaviest Matter of the Universe are classics. L'Enfant Sauvage, The Art of Dying, and The Gift of Guilt are extreme bangers as well. SO MANY GOOD SONGS

[@xXxARCHANGELxXx2]

PS I personally prefer studio versions. Live is cool but I prefer the clarity and cleanliness and THICKness of the studio

[@Triskaan]

We keep on going with that world of Metal tour I see ! Well, on this one I welcome you to my home buddy. These guys come from a town in the south of France very close to where I live :)

[@anke1237]

Gojira are heroes not only in Music. They are great Supporters of SEA SHEPHERD. 🌊🐳🐬🦈

[@Deebee950]

Yes!! Flying whales! I didn’t think I could be more in love, but then I heard this! ❤️ 🐳❤️

[@synrez33gaming99]

Saw these guys live last December, they were fantastic. I would definitely go see them again.

[@saethone]

I saw them open for Mastodon at stubb's in Austin. They blew me away live man....its a hell of a show

[@javierfernandezmunoz6707]

You should check the new Charvel Joe Duplantier signature model 2020, its amazing. And it includes his own signature DiMarzio pickup, so yes, they are that big :)

[@OroraMonroe]

This is one of their more "radio friendly" songs ... they have MONSTER tracks! Any of the other suggestions are good songs to listen to. Also know that they're truly better live than studio artists, right up this channels alley for sure. You won't find a bad live on them.

[@jeffthejinjer]

Gojira- Silvera live at hellfest 2016...the finger fast solo the singer does is cool....I love it!!!

[@groezpop]

Flying whales live at brixton academy, or more recently the live performance of pray at the red rocks festival.

[@vildonfire]

Pray at red rocks is amazing, truly!

[@DanShiraz]

Yes!!! I'm so psyched you've finally got round to them! Gojira is an absolute delight, they will surprise you with every listen. There's so much to choose from that people here will probably recommend - maybe you ought to put out a poll for the next track? Really glad you like them though, spot on with the kits BTW and yes the Charvel signature series has been in a couple of different styles and fairly recent.

[@1972cd]

I loved you facts about the equipment like always, and your love of music is infectious even when I do not always enjoy the artist you are reacting to. I enjoy learning and always learn something watching your reactions. Thanks Tank and have a safe and great day!

[@steven_steve_steve2308]

You neeeeeeeeed the song heaviest matter of the universe. This song is awesome

[@s1lentsymphony607]

Gojira is so god damn good. Those heavy headbanging sections will just grind you into dust from the sheer force of it. You can't help but headbang to a song like this, its basically mandatory.

[@Mark_-jq6wg]

Don't think I stopped headbanging throughout that whole vid. Great facts you popped up in this vid dude, will be checking out this band more :D 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MaMichels]

Great reaction mate, far above average really. I like the little comments you added in the edit. Also nice to see someone with some experience analyzing their gear while listening to it first time. I'd love to see more Gojira reactions! They also go in the full blown death metal style. My personal favs are Clone, remembrance and wisdome comes! cheers dude

[@monstercookies2726]

The fact that KZbin doesn't have ❤ button like IG does is beyond me.

[@TheOligoclonalBand]

I really like the combination of your obvious enthusiasm for music with the gear thing and your deep knowledge of how making music works.

[@rickbegley3429]

Mr. Tank, life long metal head and Gojira can since 1998 here. Their very best most all consuming brutal and sweeping composition is from the album, From Mars to Sirius. In the Wilderness. Dude it's a majestic masterpiece!

[@andrewsitek190]

More Gojira - Flying Whales/Heaviest Matter of the Universe I'm not sure which bands you're familiar with but I wanted to list a few you might like if you haven't listened already Dream Theater - The Glass Prison or for a live video The Shattered Fortress live at the Boston Opera House Caligula's Horse - Graves Thank You Scientist - FXMLDR Opeth - Blackwater Park

[@mikelharmony5334]

The true reaction. Go headbanging, so COOL!

[@joeg1709]

Good speakers and cranked to 11 is the only way to experience those little things they slip in to their music that makes them so spot on. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

[@raiderfn49]

One of my favorite live bands Even got to meet them at a show in Providence , RI Nice group of guys

[@oradargor6830]

Gojira is awesome. I feel like what make them special is their hability to deliver a really complexe music while being utterly extreme and brutal. To be able to master that is the sign of a great band IMHO. I was waiting for them to come to your channel, and I'm glad to see that. Thank your for the reaction ! :) (also please check out Bloodywood if you have the time)

[@xxxxGreenxxxxDayxxxx]

I`ve seen many react channels but your caught my eye enough to subscribe. I appreciate your tech tips and gear analysis so keep it that way. BTW The gift of guilt at Brixton Academy by them is a must!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton!

[@ragingstorm79]

Hat's off, shit just got real! Bit of Detox playing in the background of the intro, love it! Gift of Guilt, Where Dragons Dwell, Heaviest Matter, L'Enfant Sauvage, Love, Oroborus.. the list goes on! Stranded and most songs from that particular album are all more on the straight forward side, they definitely get pretty wild as you go back in time though!

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

Great Tank facts! =) You finally didnt make it to a premiere and i didnt know XD however i was there and handled stuff. I guess XD Well done =)

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks Orkar! Much appreciated man!

[@Marabouful]

I'm mad I haven't found this channel sooner! But here I am, and you have a new subscriber! Gojira is mad good! I hope I get a chance to see them live some day!!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton!

[@BradAlenaMetalReactions]

So glad you did Gojira! Love this band! Keep smashing it Tank!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks guys!

[@customcornpop]

Hey, just wanted to say I kind of accidentally came across your channel just now and I really like how your reactions are not only fun but also really informative. Super impressed, keep up the good work man, subscribed 👏🏻

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton! Much appreciated!

[@realdocloco]

I was exactly like you three years ago - heard about them a lot, never listened to. Then I did and fell in love. They're in my top 10 favorite bands presently.

[@jro341]

Just started listening this year. Enjoy the journey, I recommend all of their music. There’s life before Gojira and then there’s life after Gojira. It’s that good!

[@karimuche]

"Remembrance" in live from Brodeaux in 2003 the old Gojira, just amazing!!!

[@joee1213]

Tank gettin after it bruh 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@sylwia5595]

Cool, so I finally sat down and listened to them as well, loved that riff. Same here - always heard the name but for some reason never listened to. I guess sometimes simply too busy or too lazy (or too lazy after being too busy..) to do it on my own. And this why I watch reaction channels like yours - to expand my horizons 😁😁

[@hoju6796]

Everyone always says, I can't believe I haven't listened to this before, when checking them out. Only decided to listen a year ago and blew me away. Pure groove.

[@Harrypjotter7]

The first time I saw them live, and I didn’t know them. The first beat hit me and never let go. The only band at a live concert that is getting me in a trance. Live this band is a total other league.

[@andritti]

Start from their EPs and finish on MAGMA ;) Totally worth it!

[@MW-cx3sb]

'Love' is awesome and what got me into Gojira oh so many years ago now

[@IanCrouse]

The heaviest thing from France since the revolution.

[@murksiii]

This isn‘t the typical Gojira we had before Magma so a very interesting choice for a first reaction

[@doc4854]

Greetings from France. Love your channel. Keep it up. 👍

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks Doc!

[@jakebrodowski9]

Just saw this channel now. But I really like the Pop up facts and knowledge twist to the videos. It's reminded me of the movie pop things they had on VH1 or Mtv cannot remember which it was. Also like the idea of a Roadie doing react videos. Hope you do well sir.

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks man! And yeah, I'd be lying if I said Pop Up Video wasn't the inspiration behind my own popups. Haha

[@StuartMitchell88]

Yeah, Gojira have such an amazing sound, super unique!!

[@StickyofTheDead]

That was my initial reaction to finally listening to Gojira after not taking the time to for so long. "Where have they been my whole life?" Hahaha Check out Flying Whales from them... It's killer.

[@jordand431]

In terms of live recordings, Gojira is the best metal band i've seen when it comes to live mixing on their videos. Please try Toxic Garbage Island (live), Gift of Guilt (live), or Oroborus (live). Great reaction man! Edit: Also really appreciate your knowledge of gear and added annotations!

[@ajjames5489]

Man I was late to the party too. Heard them for the first time a couple years ago and now I'm obsessed. So many good songs. A few of my favs are backbone, heaviest matter of the universe, gift of guilt, esoteric surgery

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

Saw them live last summer. So fucking great! 🤘🏻

[@dallasclark5533]

Gojira, live at Red Rocks - Pray extended version. The wall of sound those guys put out always puts a smile on my face.

[@theicedevil]

I also like to note that was on the Gojira/Opeth tour with Devin Townsend as special guest.

[@dallasclark5533]

@@theicedevil Damn, talk about a stacked show.

[@BigDave221090]

Dude. Great reaction, Stranded is a good place to start but be prepared for FAR heavier stuff! Looking forward to seeing more. Heaviest Matter of the Universe Flying Whales Art of Dying Gift of Guilt Where dragons dwell(live at hellfest) Pray(live at red rocks 2017) L’enfant Sauvage Silvera

[@yodapima35]

So much excellent songs to react to for Gojira. My favorites are "The art of dying", "Oroborus", "Esoteric surgery", "Wolf down the Earth", "The gift of guilt", and much more !

[@Daemonz187]

The first song I heard by Gojira, and the song that got me hooked many years ago, was Clone. The title track from the album Clone which released in 01 I think. They have done nothing but grow musically over the years and I can honestly say that Gojira is one of my top 5 bands.

[@tazzz1783]

in every fest they go - they take over!

[@toughy9450]

Glad you enjoyed this one. Vacuity, Flying Whales (studio version so you don't miss the intro), Heaviest Matter of the Universe, or if you want to see their gear a bit better, Global Warming live at Silver Chord Studio.

[@timfranks1315]

Fuck yeh strapping in the background of the intro. Subscribed

🤘🤘🤘

[@araquiel3087]

The Gift Of Guilt (Live à la Brixton Academy) the rift is fucking awesome

[@sircliffordmalcolmjac5870]

Nice fuckin SYL in the background bro!! You definitely have to listen to ALL of gojira!! Theyre amazing!! R.I.P Alexi Laiho

[@Arcticun]

You hadn't checked out Gojira before? Oh boy, I'M excited for this. Flying Whales, Gift of Guilt, Heaviest Matter of the Universe, Backbone, Wolf Down the Earth are all complete bangers. One of my favourite bands of all time with an instantly recognizable sound and they're disgustingly heavy.

[@jaredhochstetler9749]

Gotta check their 2017 red rocks stuff. Beautiful audio and visual.

[@xenochrist15]

Man I’ve seen Gojira twice now and they were utterly flawless and the energy was unreal. It’s easy to see why Randy Blythe gives these guys props all of the time.

[@deathsicon]

I'm so upset when I had to chance to see them last year I got free from work late so I could hear them playing while walking in to the venue but by the time I got in their set was over, at least the slipknot set was incredible...

[@daniellehurrell6620]

And the journey begins! 😘

[@sehtah]

You've mentioned before that you're a big Devin Townsend fan. If you've listened to his song Sumeria off of the Deconstruction album, Joe Duplantier is the guest vocalist in the middle section. Devin also guested on Gojira's song Of Blood And Salt. For more Gojira, I would recommend Silvera, Flying Whales, or L'Enfant Sauvage.

[@TankTheTech]

Didn’t know that! Thanks!

[@LaganusWrex]

Oh. Oh you've stumbled on a big one. Saw these guys open for Machine Head and Lamb of God in Nashville at City Hall. They stopped the crowd. Every jaw on the floor. That was 2007 and Ive been a die hard ever since. They are really something else.

[@riffgroove]

I'm an acquaintance of the former singer of Annihilator. He told me that they did an entire European festival tour and absolutely *nobody* wanted to be the next band onstage after Gojira. The first time I saw them live they opened up for In Flames. After Gojira was done, half the audience went home. The other half who stayed were completely spent.

[@Frauman]

Tank! If you haven't heard them already, I gotta recommend Skeletonwitch and Revocation. Two of my absolute favorite metal bands, both shred in totally different ways.

[@aaronpotton2641]

Everyone needs to just suggest "heaviest matter of the universe" until our guy gives in 🤘🤘🤘

[@albions]

Good jobb whit the SYL music in the background

[@TankTheTech]

🤘 One of my favorite metal bands ever.

GOJIRA - THE ART OF DYING. An incredible 10 minute odyssey. you must.

[@trevorscheer7544]

Gojira - Flying Whales. IMHO, best metal song ever created.

Heard of them years ago but never really checked them out. Randomly heard this and was like wtf is this!!?

[@TheDjentleman77]

Such a great band! They were supposed to come close to where I am this summer but COVID-19 had other plans! 😭🤬 Really wanna see these guys live! Friendly reminder: Veil Of Maya - Outsider 😉

[@c.wander555]

2020 and you didn't know Gojira? Glad you finally did give them a chance! ♥ You should listen "Blow me away You-niverse " from them. How to make a whole song with 1 riff :D Love em!

[@c.wander555]

[@mikan5709]

You seriously need to listen to Gojiras "The gift of guilt", live from Brixton Academy. It´s insane.

[@Rattlehead69]

Gojira - Backbone live at Po'land Rock 🤟 the crowd is soo fucking good

[@Triskaan]

Sorry for the double comment, but just sharing what I think would be the best Gojira song for you to check out : Global Warming - Live at the Silver Cord Studio. It's one of their most breathtaking songs; so much that they refuse to play it live as it would "hurt" the rest of the setlist (by their own admission in the description of the video). But in 2018, they played it in a studio and it's... it's magnificent (and you'd have a lot to say about the tech there I bet). There you go : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXMiK2sepplkLs And Mario is a beast. One of the best drummers out there !

[@yumi.eXVtaQ]

Yes, Gojira (by the way, their title is Godzilla like Japanese people pronounce this word, they have no "z" and "l" sounds and they use "j" and "r" sounds instead) is THAT big. They were even opening for Metallica a couple of years ago. And this concert is their sorta home show (french band, french festival), so they're one of the most appreciated bands in any Hellfest lineup. This is one of the most technical and musically interesting bands in all the current metal scene. And a small note about guitar. Joe's (lead singer) guitar is THE HEAVIEST telecaster available for purchase. It has literally everything to play any sort of heavy music up to brutal genres, but packed into usual telecaster piece of wood. P.S. I always recommend to look at their bass player. He's a beast on stage :)
