Gojira - Flying Whales REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@lukehartley4211]

On your own time, I would definitly recommend listening to the studio version David, and see how you feel about that. It's still nearly 8 minutes and the main riff is repetitive. But I think the accent work sounds cleaner, vocals sound better and the whale noises in the progressive intro are more prominent. For me though this song is all about the drum and bass performance, and the overall groove.

Saw them live 4 times now and man, truly amazing performance, love the reviews as always!

A couple of years ago, recall that you did a reaction video for “Eruption” by Van Halen from their “Live Without A Net” concert in 1986. If you want to, here’s the links for other live variations over the years. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ianKYn9rh8Rmq7c (1983) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGm2nJR_e56kask (1984)(Look for 1:05:04) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6GwZHR_aZuJjpI (2015) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaW8nHiBgMd7h7c (1995)

not their best live version imo ( a little messy at times ) , I'm sure you'd score the studio version much higher !!!

[@paulatreides1354]

thank you David ,so happy that you finally go back to Gojira :) the long intro is on the album ..wich give a certain mood , they used to cut it live for the same reson you mention ( too long ) but the brought it back because the song became so popular ,that people expect it .but yeah definitely go down the gokira rabitt hole , so many songs you will like or at least be interesting to analyse.

So excited to see Gojira on here. One of my favorite bands they are are incredible live. So heavy. Sad that it didn't click much for ya, as this is one of their best songs imo. But hey, we all have different tastes. :). Thanks for the video David!

Amazing technical progressive deathmetal band! Miho's favorite band. 🤘

I gave the wall of death a 2. The over all concert, a 7.6... I've seen this before.

[@rancorslayer5228]

You have to listen to Art of Dying. It’s a really cool track and I think you’ll enjoy it.

[@BrianYates-ue8hf]

Hey Dave Yeah that's a fair score This wasn't their best performance for a few reasons The sound is one the vocals were too low and they were at a huge festival so they probably only got a line check but at least they included the opening mellow section bc Mario Duplantier is an amazing drummer and it shows his jazzier side When I got into Gojira he opened my mind with his use of cymbals as fills or tasty accents And Christain (the other guitarist) and Jean-Micheal the bassist are the hidden weapons Imo and don't get the love they deserve But Mario is the focal point a lot of times I'm seeing them for the 10th time in September in Massachusetts plus I just saw them about 9-10 months ago with Mastodon and Lorna Shore in Portland Maine Btw the visuals change thru out the set I've seen this show 5 times and there's other songs that show the stage interactions between the band😎✌️🤘🧐

They went so early on that wall of death

[@0kz0]

This is just chaos.

[@JamesGreen-bf4jy]

best Wall I've seen was Exodus' Strike Of The Beast. This one was the shits

[@Shuu69]

I've been watching your videos lately, and I love your reactions, especially your opinions and the way you analyze the songs i don't know if you take requests from your comments but i'd like you to react to : Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace Live The Palace 2008

greetings from mexico

[@serkev]

That wall of death was sad

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Good

[@tiffy3260]

The guitar dude did some zoomies, if that counts as stage interaction..lol

[@maureenwagg5305]

I agree with your wall of death score. I gave it less. lol It was a bunch of guys skipping towards each other like they were skipping aroung the May Pole. lmao Still, Gojira's most fun song at a live show tune.

[@MW-cx3sb]

One of the worst versions you could have listened to.

[@kittallmadge]

That was dull, way too repetitive and nothing stood out.
