Mario’s come a long way speaking English. Such a humble, amazing guy. He was super sweet to me and my girlfriend when we met him a few years ago. My favorite drummer. 🙏🏻
Same..... met him behind the venue in NY while they were filming "Evil Mario". They had sold special meet and greet passes (which I didn't pay for) and he still signed my ticket stub. And it was funny, stupid me didn't bring a sharpie so he even grabbed one from a random roadie passing by. I was kind of star struck, embarassed but is one of my most favorite concert memories. I think Joe did ignore me haha, but I understand if they didn't want to attract a crowd. But the next time they are able to tour the US I do want to do the meet and greet and I still really want Joe to sign the same stub. ....side note, my Jeep makes a small cameo in the NIagara Falls Evil Mario vid when they blow up the Code Orange tour van. lol
I met joe and mario in their new york studio a few years ago, and you are 100% right. There was a girl there who asked if she could sit behind his kit and get a picture and he said sure, took her phone and took the pictures himself, when she got up to leave Mario was like "no, you have to play something". At first she couldn't believe it, but once she started playing mario was rocking out like it was a pro behind the kit.....dude was so freakin cool.

Mario seems to be such a lovely person ! I really enjoyed when he explained the importance of communicating peacefully. That interview made me even more hyped for the album. Also good job to the interviewer letting him the place and asking interesting questions. Peace ! ☮️🙏🙏🙏
literally although i had heard this band before this album came out they hadnt come up proper on my radar now literally i think they are just wow this album ha s got me into their earlier stuff really hoping to see them when they come to the uk next year and so humble a s well and just so amazing
@@f.sense888 well, I've just watched these 2 guys on youtube, it was painful to see; they are as stiff as a board. Mario ruin them both; he's the one who composed the drum parts of From Mars To Sirius, u know. Josh Freese and Ilan Rubin ??
@@brezhoneg9159 Painful??? Come on Honestly.... Josh Freese, Chris Vrenna and now Ilan Rubin are living legend in music industry. You're are probably too young to appreciate it. And do not be an author it doesn't mean that someone isn't a wonderful musician. It's ok to have a different opinion but talking about drummers like them and describe their work as "painful to watch" it's quite offensive.
@@brezhoneg9159 lmaaaooo. Mario is a fantastic metal drummer - my personal favorite - but josh free and Ilan are stiff?? Freese has played on over 500 albums. 🤣🤣
One of my favorite drummers on the planet....this guy gets it, its about getting in that groove and destroying it...skillfully not overplaying, going crazy when it suits the song...everything he plays I f'n love. legend
@@Lora_1113 glad to hear. Thanks for the kind words. =) Today I have lined up interviews with Little Steven, Tommy Clufetos and Wolfgang Van Halen so there is something to look up to next. =)
Mario rlly pushed himself on FMTS, Way of All Flesh and L’enfant Even on Magma, there’s some pretty challenging stuff (The Cell, Pray) Generally, Mario simplifies his parts for the music but he always finds ways to throw in technical bits and never at the expense of the music
I met the band a few years ago in a meet and greet. One of the rules was that we couldn't take selfies with the band as there would be a group photo at the end. However, Mario came up to me and my friend and offered to take a selfie with us. We took it, he did an Evil Mario face, signed my Gojira tattoo and the next day, I had his autograph tattooed on me. Such a humble guy and one of the best drummers in the entire genre.
@@chaoszine I’ve heard Sphinx is heavy, that according to Kerrang “would do tech death metal legends Nile proud”, would you say that’s a good description for that song? How would you rate this album? What songs are heavy on the album?
@@jakobstein1435 Would need to listen to it again to tell you as I was not really paying attention that much to song titles while blasting it through. I think it was "Sphinx" though that was one of the tracks I liked a lot while listening. I will let the fans rate and not do any rating myself but I highly doubt it will disappoint any of the fans of the band. They remain as unique as before with this album =)
Finland calling France... can you understand me with my accent? I miss living in Finland, when you hear that Finland is as METAL as it’s said to be, it’s absolutely true. France is pretty cool too and Gojira is the best thing France has given the world. Gojira wants to save the earth and all its creatures. Finland wants to keep to themselves and listen to METAL. America on the other hand...
Instead of a live stream they should just do live studio videos like with Inferno and Global Warming, but for some of the songs on the new album. The extra bit of production value in that outweighs it being "live" on stream. I could see them being able to make more from a live stream tho so that's understandable especially not being able to tour...those studio videos are great tho.

Mario seems solid in every way - comes off humble genuine - zero pretension.

I love that he's doing this interview with sticks in his hand. I feel like he probably walks around all day with them.
Gotta pay the cost to be the boss
Man when I was in highschool that was me 💯 . Life's been a bitch honesty but that shit brings me back.
Mario is such a talented artist, and Gojira knows how to make music. Always a great chat, Arto! :)
Thanks John =)
great
His English got so damn good
It's amazing
Their mother is (was RIP...) American!
@@HeadacheMachine She was Portuguese.
@@Shyzenth Nope, born in Madison, WI.
@@HeadacheMachine Had portuguese roots and lived in Portugal part of her life tho.
Reggae got Marley and Metal got Duplantier 🤘🏼
I hope their US tour with Deftones this fall does not get rescheduled again. Been waiting a while to see Gojira in person.
Hardly see no "big" band playing tours in 2021. I hope I am wrong but still highly doubt that... Not in EU and not in US...

7:16 Mario, it makes all the sense. ;D don't be sorry
French and Finnish, two of my favourite accents...
As a French dude, I wonder why people love french accent... ^^

Awesome interview! Stoked to hear the new album!
Thanks bro. =)
Such a down to the earth guy, I'd love to drink a beer with all Gojira members.
they're all most likely straight edge...
@@gagafaga11 I remember in an interview Joe saying they dont drink before shows.
@@gagafaga11
Nah they drink beer and wine.

really hoping to see them when they come to the uk next year
and so humble a s well and just so amazing
Mario is the best drummer in the world
Better than Josh Freese and Ilan Rubin???👀👐

Mario is amazing on the drums. Gojira is phenomenal amazing love they're music. 🎤🎸🎸🥁
Thank you mario for bringing in technical parts and heavy ideas/influence.
Do you think you can remember how many heavy songs were on the album? How was Amazonia?
Fans : How many heavy songs are there in the album ?
Gojira : Yes
@@jaytiman1330 I like everything we heard so far but Another World wasn‘t that heavy
I honestly didn't know mario had a daughter
I LOVE HIS ACCENT 😍😍😍😍😍
Top 5 favourite humans right there. Love you Mario.
Wow his English got so much better!
I love everyone in Gojira,,,, but y'all BETTER LISTEN TO MARIO.... he really makes the band tick🤘🔥
The only drummer in history who plays with his drumsticks unconsciously while he gets interviewed
Gojira seem like approachable people which is really lovely
Great interview, thanks. Pumped for the record.
gojira is BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!
Mario is a total dude !! He has his sticks in his left hand throughout the interview . Brilliant
Bonne interview. Mario always humble, honest, smart.
No dejará de ser mi inspiración este señor, es nada más que un crack de otro plantena
Solid drumming from Mario!
I love this interviewer.
Haha hopefully not in a sarcastic way :D

To think that Mario is holding back most of the time... Damn. I really wonder what a track where he doesn't would sound like.
Mario rlly pushed himself on FMTS, Way of All Flesh and L’enfant
Even on Magma, there’s some pretty challenging stuff (The Cell, Pray)
Generally, Mario simplifies his parts for the music but he always finds ways to throw in technical bits and never at the expense of the music
So talented and yet so humble. 🤟❤️
YES MARIO LIVESTREAM PLEASE!!! ❤️

What do you think of the album?
I think it is as solid as "Magma" was. If you like this band you will love the album for sure.

The word you are looking for Mario is mainstream, unfortunately (6:58)!.
Not like it matters in anyhow, but man, he looks terrible. Aged like 10 years in 3...
He looks exactly the same. Go watch good quality photos
