    Hi Guys,
    It's huge to see that today because I grew up with the guys in the band (Mario, Joe, Christian and Jean-Michel) when we were only 15 or 16, we all lived in the south-west of France in the early 90s.
    At that time we had our respective metal bands, they were already focused on Death-Metal while my band was more in the Groove-Metal style.
    A little anecdote, at the time, they were not called Gojira but Godzilla. this album was recorded and produced in France in the Basque country in a small studio.
    We often met on the different small festivals, rock springboard and concerts that they had in our countryside where nothing ever happened. They came from the town of Ondres on the border of the Basque Country and the Landes, and we came from Mimizan, a seaside village on the Atlantic Ocean but situated further north in the middle of nowhere in the department of the Landes.
    Today they became enormous stars but at the time, we were just pimply teenagers with a passion for metal music going to school during the week and playing in small concerts on the weekends.
    Since then, we've lost sight of each other, I live abroad and I've chosen another professional career path (even if I'm still a metal drummer .. just for the fun of jamming), and to see you today analyzing their music is a sweet mix between stupefaction (positive) and proud to have grown and evolved with them when we were younger.
    In our native Southwest it is an immense pride to see his guys as nice in life as talented on stage being seen and heard around the world.
    I can assure you that they left from nothing, because I was there, at the beginning it was only a small metal band that played on weekends in concerts where there were not more than ten people sometimes in the room.
    they climbed the notoriety ladder one by one only by the sweat of their perseverance and their work. It's really great to see them being analyzed from the U.S.A.
    Good job dudes and thank you for them.

    Since Opeth pretty much invented progressive / melodic death metal, you should react to them also. I highly Recommend The Drappery Falls from Blackwater Park released in 2001. Nothing sounded like it. That album changed metal forever.

    The best thing about this channel compared to other "reacting to metal" vids is that you guys actually are attentive to details, you break down the music patterns and the lyrics.
    You provide open-minded and intelligent comments and treat all music as art. It is simply fun to see you react to the songs I love and suddenly headbang to something that hooks you. :)
    It's obvious it'd be fun to hang out with you guys.
    You make me feel like checking out the classics of hip-hop and rap, just to return the favor and broaden my horizons.

    I saw them at a a festival so they only played 45 minutes. It began with Mario casually strolling out to his drum kit and playing solo for a bit. Then the rest of the band joined in. It was amazing to witness. Joe is an incredible vocalist. I cannot say enough about Gojira.
    I eagerly await their next tour.

      I think that one of the thing that makes them head and shoulders above other reaction videos is that you can see them develop an ear for it, build the vocabulary, and actually venture into new territory instead of "oh a metalhead is listening to another metal song, yay."

      Exactly. These are two people who have a natural interest in music (they know everything there is to know about hip hop..EVERYTHING). Now they are venturing to other things, and you can see the progression. This happens to everyone who truly loves music, so it's cool to watch. You can actually see a difference in the newer videos compared to older ones and now they actually reference shit and have a really good ear for it. They aren't just making videos for the hell of it. There is a genuine interest in all music.

      I agree 100%. My "I get it" moment was from Ill Nino and the first scream from the song "I am Loco" They were touring with Mushroom head. Before that I didnt get it. You have to find that lyric or subject where you are so passionate about that singing pretty doesnt make sense and you just want to let it all out.

    I've been a metal head my whole life so I have the ear and taste for the growling and yelling, but I also understand that the screaming factor in metal is the biggest contributing reason for people being turned off of metal, especially the good and heavy stuff. But I feel that Gojiras vocals, although still a scream/growl, is done is such a way that speaks to most listeners immediately as something unique, authentic and powerful. He's not screaming to sound nasty or heavy, there is so ego or image; he's screaming as a man, as a human, and when we hear that voice, along with songs like these, I think that it speaks to you on a primal level which is why so many Gojira fans feel a 'spiritual' appeal to the music and become life long fans. Awesome vid guys!

      Well said. There are a few bands that do it well IMO: Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Amorphis, and to a lesser extent Carcass immediately come to mind. I think the trick is, even though they're growling, you can hear everything they say: it's well enunciated, and it's powerful rather than breathy.

    Haha what an awesome video. Glad you guys are on the Gojira grind. Been a metal fan most of my life and honestly Gojira and other progressive metal bands are doing something incredible with their music. The beauty of prog metal is that every band is so different while still in the same genre. Some artists are more jazz influenced or others come from basic rock with strange time signatures thrown in there. I'm no expert on it but its really good for getting perspective on genres you may not actively listen to as well as giving a more open mind to said genres. If I were to recommend a song it would be the song "687 Days" by the artist "David Maxim Micic". It's instrumental but the video is brilliant and shows how creative the writing process is and also how other elements such as electronic music can fit in to metal and rock.

    You guys are great, it's so much fun watching you guys jump out of your comfort zones, and develop new tastes. This is how it starts, you guys are gonna be full-blown metalheads before you know it. Either way, Gojira is legit, and you guys are super legit.
    No joke, you guys are fucking metal as fuck.

      You are so right. I'm 43, listened to metal since around 84'. These guys are my favorite. Seen them live 3 times and I'm just blown away each time. The only band I've ever tattooed on me and drove long distance to see. Just an incredible, incredible band.

But if you want to know what's really going on in the world open yourself up to as many genres of music as you can. It's helped me communicate with my daughter when words failed us. ❤️the channel.

    If you like Progressive Metal try OPETH - Deliverance/ Ghost of Perdition/ Baying of the Hounds/ When
    Their music is intricate, heavy, dynamic and their vocalist has on of the most impressive vocal ranges in Metal. Highly respected in the Metal community.

    Even though I know all of the songs, it is so fun watching you guys and your excitement. I find myself laughing out loud and head banging with you. As a female metalhead, it is very hard and rare to find fellow female friends that like metal, or even guys that like it. The fact that you guys even give it a chance is really fucking admirable. Much respect. Florida metalhead girl :-)

      I know what you're feeling, I find myself in the same situation. I'm a big metal head, wide open for each genre and time of metal, so to say, which means it from black sabbath to slipknot, but my friends don't like metal, only 2 of them listen a little part of it (trivium, disturbed, bullet for my valentine) and I'm in no relationship but if I would find a girl she should be at least tolerant toward this type of music. Girls like you are a dream becoming reality for every masculine metalhead :D

    That guitar technique they use for the "chugging" parts is called "Palm muting" it is when you lay the bottom of your palm on top the strings of the guitar bridge, or close to the guitar bridge.
    Being a guitar player myself I do it a lot as well. You strum a chord or anything while half "muting" the notes and it give you that tight and chunky, Chug Chug Chug Chug Chug Chug Chug Chug sound!
    BTW, shout out to both of you. I subbed.

    • @zrwhiskey
      @zrwhiskey 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It sounds like they are doing 4th/Inverted 5th chords as well. The slight dissonance gives it that brutal fucking punch.

    • @deroch5244
      @deroch5244 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      From what I've seen from tabs online, they play that chugging riff as if they were power chords in a drop tuning, but they play in d standard so it gets that dissonance.

    • @ChuranuQC
      @ChuranuQC 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Deroch, they are basically fingering a 3 note power chord on the top string of a 7 string guitar, but they play on 6 strings so only the 2 higher note on the chords remain.

  • @LtSlapnutz
    @LtSlapnutz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +111

    Thanks for the react Vegas! Gojira, only found them this year but already favourites. That 'chugging' sound is call "Palm muting". Its due to resting your palm on the bridge of the guitar as you strum the strings. Its something thats used its all sorts of music actually such as jazz, blues..etc... Its just metal has a lot due to the unique sound it has when highly distorted. Also...
