Vocal Coach reacts to Gojira - The Gift Of Guilt

[@patrick2389]

You should check out Global Warming (Live at Silver Cord), probably one of Joe Duplantier's best vocal performance that isn't gutturals/harsh and highly emotionally fueled.

[@demondrug7788]

Seriously, people need to suggest her the right songs. Because after her one reaction to The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe, I knew their heavier stuff is completely a bad pick for this channel

[@emilrostad9720]

We will see, our children growing

[@Pnguin-sh9tr]

agreed

[@jez_77]

@@demondrug7788 Yeah, the best pick would be a song where Joe is not only growling, but also uses his beautiful clean voice. The Chant for example, Born in Winter or Silvera. Personally, as much as I love all of the Gojira stuff, The heaviest matter of the universe is probably the worst pick for Beth

[@xarkiuzLL]

Saw them live twice in the last 3 years, and I've cried both times during this song.. It's just so impactful!!

If you want more of a focus on vocals you have to check out Where Dragons Dwell live at Hellfest. Absolutely insane performance

This. Also a great example of space/silence in a song.

[@josiahmontiel5663]

@I Just Wanna Talk About Games ok. Then you suggest a different song lol.

[@maureenwagg5305]

I'm 61 and my son introduced me to this band through the album From Mars to Sirius. Specifically Flying Whales. It's so powerful to see them perform it live. There are these circle pits that form and they toss an inflatable whale amongst themselves before the epic drop. Wow. Mind blowing. Mario Duplantier on the drums....I call him Super Mario. He's just amazing. Joe's vocals are incredible and the lyrics are absolutely spot on. I love their morals and their opinions mirror my own on these environmental topics.

[@Psycho_7825]

Gojira is so good even Aurora wants to collab with them.

[@sreneethomas]

My absolute dream come true….Aurora and Gojira?!??? Yes please 🖤

[@Sabin41]

Seen Gojira a load of times, even though he does harsh vocals it does feel a lot like he's singing when he does it. He does occasionally sing cleanly like on the song Born In Winter.

[@kellyhh1371]

Born in Winter is amazing.

[@gustavquicksand3402]

Gojira's the band that got me into metal. I went into it thinking metal was just a bunch of angry screaming about whatever violent stuff the vocalist felt like that day while the drummer randomly smashes the hell out of his kit. They were the ones who taught me metal could have a great deal of depth of feeling and meaning. Magma in particular is one of those albums that makes me feel things that are really hard to describe.

[@_philipp__]

You may want to check out Mastodon, Tool, Opeth, Porcupine Tree and Epica if you haven't already.

[@notoriustroll]

I mean, Magma is their slowest album other than their previous album.

Born In Winter is AMAZING! Sadly I can't seem to find any live versions of it

[@CetoFreakingKaiba]

@@benvanzon3234 I don't remember if it was for this one in particular or another of their songs, but basically Joe said in an interview they don't do them live because the vocals can be extremely low pitched to pull of consistently.

[@JazerMedia]

Gojira's activism was also a big pull for me and I ended up loving their sound in general quickly.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

"Born for one thing" is a very digestible song, along with "Stranded" and its hook/chorus!

[@TheGiiant]

Used to listen alot to Gojira 8-10 years ago... think I need to listen to the old albums again. On the border to death metal but the skill, the melody and the vocals (half growl) is fantastic.

[@1danwynn]

Loved this one, Beth! Now I finally understand what you and Elizabeth Zahroff (The Charismatic Voice) mean when you talk about false vocal chords. THANK YOU! 😊. Also, I was just saying to my pal that I'm going to put together a KZbin playlist of metal with progressive lyrics, starting with Gojira!! Also Anthrax, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine etc. I can share it here if folk would like 🙂

[@alexb277]

I love the subtitles haha: "heavy metal music continues loudly"

[@zeveroarerules]

Gojira is so great live. I've seen them twice in the last 6months, I could go watch them every week.

[@CJFromGroveSt09]

When I first read lyrics and knew what they were saying I cried, being in a rough spot in my life a lot of their songs are actually so uplifting and I fell in love with them before even realizing what they actually stand for. Legendary band

[@muddydave01]

I got to see them at Good Things the other week. I didn't see all the bands but out of those I did, they had the best sound mix. Hanging out to see them again, it may be decades (living in Australia)

[@TheWeaponing]

I didn't know them, I like this one, thank you for your reaction

[@DarrellW_UK]

7:24 Courtney LaPlant from Spiritbox sings this way, you can hear her clean voice together with her screams, it’s a combination of false and vocal folds as you said, it’s a great technique as it gives you a better idea of the lyrics 😂

[@-l-l3187]

I’m seeing Gojira and spiritbox at the same concert soon I’m so excited.. korn is there too

I've seen them live about 4 times and I've been blown away each time. Their music is just so clever and their technique... Mario cannot be human... As for this song, the lyrics and how sad it is hits me every time!

[@stefanblanita3319]

Great reaction, great to hear you react to it! And yes you nailed it, at 7:47 it is technical death metal, one of the genres that Gojira display through their... well... "creations"!

[@sartian]

Love seeing your analysis to some more Gojira ! Joe's voice is quite unique in metal (and the rest of the band is also always interesting, hello Mario) I've only seen them twice live even though they're from my country but some of my best concert memories come from them !

Been somewhere like a year and a half ago that I watched a video from you. Here I guinely saw someone that is enjoying a metal song. Don't know, but was not something I expected based on the videos I saw from you in the past. Maybe these metal requests had a grasp on you overtime? Anyway glad to see someone coming from a different musical background getting to like heavy metal past the steorotypes.

I love their live studio performances of Global Warming and of Shooting Star (for the bbc radio i think), and i think they'd be great for a vocal analysis as they include more clean singing 😊. Shooting Star specially is pfffff so beautiful and devastating, specially if you have the context (the passing of the Duplantier brothers' mom).

Cant wait to see them this summer in my town !

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

Wish you would react to Global Warming (Live in the studio) or just the studio version of Born in winter, you can really appreciate Joe's versatility on those songs. Also, Joe reminds me of Chester Benington in terms of how much energy and effort their technique requires to make those sounds

[@daisysunshine1324]

Enjoyed this. My sons a big Gojira fan, but I’ve not taken the opportunity to listen to them before. I’m comfortable with the likes of Amon Amarth, Slipknot, A7X etc. Besides, he hates it when I ‘steal his music’ as he accused me of before with A7X. Until I pointed out he was 2 when I first bought an album of theirs lol. Definitely going to give more attention to Gojira. ❤

If you haven't watched the video "The way of All flesh" live 2009, how I remember, you should react to it, Joe demonstrated best vocals there

[@karljans4807]

He's a great vocalist. Try oroborus (official audio). He's able to scream but sing in a note at the same time. It's great. And listen to world to come and the way of all flesh (live) where he throat sings. He's awesome. Global warming live in studio is also great where he mixes clean singing and screaming

[@scottspears9347]

Gojira has some of the best riffs I've ever heard

[@Stevil3113]

I’m surprised no one talks about Melissa cross. She trains metal singers. She has techniques and warm ups down. She has multiple videos of training as well

[@dougel4709]

Oh wait, I'm back already. Speaking of Metal, Environmental activism, and Floor; if you're ready to get back into Nightwish, check out "Greatest Show On Earth" with Richard Dawkins (though I personally don't condone many of his philosophies. But that's not why we're here, so I'll just leave that there). "GSoE" is about evolution, so not quite environmental, but kinda like cousins maybe. Regardless, it is a masterful piece of musical story telling. I think you'll enjoy it!!

[@ControllerOfMinds]

Whatever feels right for you, moving to the music, is the right thing to do =) You mentioned vocal coach for harsh vocals - then check out Kardashev, and then Kardavox Academy (the singer is a vocal coach too). Perhaps a conversation with him?

[@whiteravengaming9873]

I truly believe some artists can manifest magic...psychic energy...just maybe a collective bonding...but it is there and it is beyond the physical. Gojira. Rush. Kendrick. All of these can do this for me.

[@heytoast7129]

Trying to find an interview from a few years back with Joe Duplantier, the singer. He talks about his training and how he learned I believe it's Mongolian Throat Singing. He uses that technique on a few of their songs. One that would be interesting to react to is "Gojira - The Way of All Flesh live Bordeaux". Chris Lepe also has an excellent video where he breaks down the vocals on their track, "The Art of Dying".

[@SubwaySweden]

ps. Parkway Drive is another band connected to Sea Shepard with the same kind of lyrics. Another band that I find brilliant with great and meaningful lyrics is Fleshgod Apocalypse. Also the graaawwwhh you mentioned is a learning curve..... it's not chaos, it's not just smashing things as fast as you can..... it is complex and in the same way as anything that is complex it takes time to get into it and appreciate it fully. (not saying Gojira is hard to get into, it's one of the easiest death metal bands to get into and I am not even sure I would call them death metal)

[@SirStangelot]

To be honest, I think the drummer ist the star of this band and it shows well in that song theire older stuff. The vocals do not stand out at all like (Ryu´s from "former crystal lake") but on the other hand it suits theire massage and musik.

beside the genius lyrics Gojira , one is of the best and unique metal band ever , they have songs with more clean vocals , especially in their latest albums , they started very death metal and became more progressive with time .some songs you might like are " l'enfant sauvage " , " silvera " " low lands " about the death of their mother during the recording of the album magma " "born in winter " "this emptiness " , " Pray live at red rocks " oroborus live eurockeenne 2009 ) , stranded , sphinks ,amazonia , the shooting star ,global warming , those are songs not to agressive ..the recent stuff is more accessible , otherwise , classic songs such as the heaviest matter of the universe or flying whales , wolf down the earth ..every songs are good actually
