Wow. I would never expect any band to cover this song. It's so underrated. This is probably my favorite cover of a Metallica song right next to CC doing No Remorse. Both so goood!!
@@blueskythinking4745 james specifically...the record company demanded a more radio friendly tune and this is what happened. Low and behold a few years enter sandman comes out and there's a lot of similarities.
I know Gojira are big classic Metallica fans but I'd expect them to cover something like Fight fire with fire or Trapped under ice. I thought they did a great job with this song though. \m/
@@ARG0T but compare escape with fight fire with fire or ride the lightning for exemple is probably the least heavy song in that album (considering the major chorus)
The producers at the time wanted another track on the album. James probably doesn't like it because it wasn't really something he voluntarily wanted to write and didnt have the time to put much time or emotion into it, as heard in tracks like RTL and Fade. Still a great track by both bands!
It's not bad, but I thought lars snare sound on TBA, load, reload, garage inc were incredible. This snare sounds almost like a midi to me (i know it's not)
Maybe its a choice, they dont do solos but they do some leads and harmonies maybe they think that soloing can destroy the ideia and the feeling they want the song to transmit. but yeah its a bit weird
You have to understand that the songs are more then the solos... Whatch Gojiras live performances of "Clone" (i recommend the "live at Vieilles" - version), "In the forest" and "Remembrance". :) Regards.
Does anyone know where this song actually comes from? I heard it would be on a Japanese version of "From Mars To Sirius", but it seems like it was not released in Japan, I asked a few Japanese stores. So where is this from?
Le refrain est juste méga entraînant !.. Ils dégagent une putain d'ambiance dans la musique, semblable et en même temps différente à celle de Metallica.. Dur à expliquer..
Guys its simple. Metallica is one of the fathers of what we call HEAVY METAL. Gojira had Metallica, along with bands as Death and Meshuggah, as their inspiration. Almost half of all metal bands out there, had Metallica as their inspiration. The sound of heavy metal, as it developed the last 2 decades would be completely different if not for Metallica. I agree that Gojira play much harder and more complex music than Metallica. I dont like Metallica that much myself but lets be realistic.
imagine a gojira cover of dyers eve.
check out revocations cover of it
I would sell my kidney for that to happen
Oh my
Or anything on And Justice For All really.
Imagine if they covered escape
I wanna hear Gojira's cover of The Thing that Should Not Be.
Nothing would make me happier
Shiiit that'd be heavy as fuck.
the heaviest matter of the universe :')
I would pay real Francs to hear that
Id love to hear them cover Fight Fire With Fire or Creeping Death
i aprove
Fight Fire with Fire, definitely.
Nah. Ruining one Metallica song is enough.
@@dmitryowens Go fuck yourself hater.
@@panicoestatico9260
Awww, look - a butt-hurt little Gojira fanboy. Better get some IcyHot for that sore ass and vag.
I like both bands and this is fucking awesome.
His voice is so extraordinary good.
😆
I WANT A GOJIRA ALBUM OF COVERS
YOU AND ME BOTH
I was thinking this while listening to this again and found that I liked this comment at some point already. Yes they absolutely need to do this.
Wow. I would never expect any band to cover this song. It's so underrated. This is probably my favorite cover of a Metallica song right next to CC doing No Remorse. Both so goood!!
Tyler Harrison hatebreed cover this song too
Tyler Harrison and apparently Metallica hate this song lol
Vader's cover of Fight Fire With Fire is awesome too.
@@blueskythinking4745 james specifically...the record company demanded a more radio friendly tune and this is what happened. Low and behold a few years enter sandman comes out and there's a lot of similarities.
Revocations version of Dyers Eve is fucking lit
I'd give my life savings for a Gojira cover of Blackened
holy fucking shit I would kill somebody for that
Perfect
this song is called black fucking neeeeed
Gojira and Metallica binding their forces sounds so powerfull, excellent
+Jelmer van der Zaag With Lars on drums \m/
Imagine Gojira covering The Thing That Should Not Be
I like this photo, because you immediately notice, how Metallica members show themselves so crazy and cool, then Gojira members look so shy :D
I bet GOJIRA would do a badass version of Happy birthday
Hell yeah
I know Gojira are big classic Metallica fans but I'd expect them to cover something like Fight fire with fire or Trapped under ice. I thought they did a great job with this song though. \m/
+Ironman52398 it sounds like this song is more gojira's than metallica's
This is practically within Gojira's pacing style. They made this song work well because of it.
This song is what made Mario wanting to start drumming.
This is Mario's song
Escape is the most Gojira-sounding song I think Metallica has written. The tone fits Gojira’s style
Waouh ... Même en studio , Gojira dégage une de ses puissances ... C'est ce que j'admire chez eux
I don't know why but the thought of a heavy band like Gojira covering a song like Escape cracks me up.
"Escape" has a powerful meaning before us, both bands know this.
Escape with the rest of Ride the Lightning are a huge reason as to why "heavy" bands play nowadays. Give credit
no
they are fans and they are memeing lol
@@ARG0T but compare escape with fight fire with fire or ride the lightning for exemple is probably the least heavy song in that album (considering the major chorus)
Metallica..favorite all time band..Gojira..current favorite band...mind blow by this haha
Of all the songs for a band like Gojira to cover. Haha. Hats off to them for taking it on, though.
+Evan S salute
Ironically, James hates this song...
because he had to write it in last minute with Lars in studio
last 3 days*
The producers at the time wanted another track on the album. James probably doesn't like it because it wasn't really something he voluntarily wanted to write and didnt have the time to put much time or emotion into it, as heard in tracks like RTL and Fade. Still a great track by both bands!
Guilt, maybe? This is a Dave song, probably initially rejected by James.
+Xylene Cobalt - then he should hate Enter Sandman too as it's pop sounding
Gojira covering one of the best and most underrated Metallica songs? Where has this been ❤
metallica is mario and joes main influence and joes fav album is ride the lightning and marios fav song is escape. sooo it was a matter of time
How would it sound if metallica covered a Gojira song?
Ali Doğaç Köse Disastrous
Ha! Don't make me laugh 😄
Everyone would do ok except lars
good idea 😁
Hire a new drummer then things are good
This is a fucking good cover.
One of my favorite metallica songs covered by one of my favorite bands.
Fuckin cool as fuck
For a band that doesn't do solo's they pretty much nailed this one lol
That solo sound....my god, it's beautiful
i love the vocals too
Wow! If i did'nt knew that this song was from Metallica i'd say Gojira wrote it themselves. The song fits well with their sound and playing. GOOD JOB!
This is how a snare drum should sound. Lars, take note
It's not bad, but I thought lars snare sound on TBA, load, reload, garage inc were incredible. This snare sounds almost like a midi to me (i know it's not)
@@shamicentertainment1262 i think hes talking about saint anger lol
@@surfingkiwi828 yea, he's still stuck in 2003 🤦♂️
ha ha so original omg lol lmao
Ouah super cover de la part de Gojira ! je l'avais jamais entendue !!
Wow that song... reminds me childhood... Yeah!!!
I just saw Metallica and Gojira. Fucking RAD.
con el sello inconfundible de Gojira!, tremendos!
I need to frame that pic...my two fav bands of all time together!!! \m/
great cover btw...Escape is an underated classic
saw gojira in phoenix. one word....BADASS!!! want to see them again soon!!
badass job.
Ok, this is what's weird here. Gojira never solos, sure they have leads, but they never really do solos. Yet they can do solos, so why don't they?
Maybe its a choice, they dont do solos but they do some leads and harmonies maybe they think that soloing can destroy the ideia and the feeling they want the song to transmit. but yeah its a bit weird
c1a2s None the less, they do inspire me just like Opeth, and other prog bands do
Kevin Goeltz
yeah
Core just doesn't do solos
Thomas Duncan But they're not anything core. They're progressive.
I'm not usually so fond of bands covering other bands, but Damn! This is great!
Escape is one of my top favorite Metallica songs and my favorite from Ride. Metallica doesn't respect this song enough to put it on any live sets :/
We don't play it because we (Or rather James and Lars) were forced to write the song... \M/
Robert Trujillo .... O_O Hi there. Well I love those lyrics man. One of my top favs, probably the best in RTL for me.
Fleck Just so you know, that's not really Robert Trujillo.
***** I figured it wasn't but you never know!
Fleck it's not true either, nobody forced them to write anything
Ficou muito massa! Show de mais!
James loves it ;)
One of my personal favourites from the Ride the Lightning album. Didn't know they covered it, fucking awesome.
This feels more like "Escaped from Hell" or something XD
the breakdown its heavy as hell and the solo for fck sake!! and the outro...METALLICA!!
how this masterpiece can't be on spotify
best cover of metallica ever made..
KrobellusArtefact the cover of enter sandman by Motörhead is better imo, and her cover from whiplash is good too
De la vrai musique!C'est bon pour les oreilles!
Metallica should cover THE ART OF DYINGby Gojira!
wait what??? OMG..I love this!!!!
Guys and gals, seriously....no comparations between 'tallica and gojira, they both rules and this is an awesome cover.
Cookie Monster covers Metallica's Escape
John Erickson hahaha :D
John Erickson I would not be heartbroken if Joe replaced James for a whole album.
These are not "cookie monster" vocals FFS! He actually sings with melody. Are you death?
"are you death"
lol
I love this song and Gojira are a fucking great band to cover it
the old legend and the new legend
@MultiFets You are crazy, those are there most underrated songs and both are great, Metallica fan my ass.
öne of my favourite Metallica songs! great taste!
You have to understand that the songs are more then the solos... Whatch Gojiras live performances of "Clone" (i recommend the "live at Vieilles" - version), "In the forest" and "Remembrance". :)
Regards.
Amazing song. God job :)
perfect sound .
this is too awesome.....i cant turn it off....
yet another great band that the greatest band ever influenced...
Gojira MetallicA , excellent , merci , tank you
Brutally good, spot on guys
I never expected Gojira to do something like this. It's not their style. But I like it, it's really good.
Andrei Raya Bocharnikov Gojira was influenced a lot by metallica :)
it's from joe's favourite metallica album and the song that got mario drumming. therefore one could argue it's absolutely their style.
Does anyone know where this song actually comes from? I heard it would be on a Japanese version of "From Mars To Sirius", but it seems like it was not released in Japan, I asked a few Japanese stores. So where is this from?
Runnn!!! is Gojira!!!!!!!....... This is amazing!!!.......is a god job!!
Wow the vocals are awesome!!! He should sing more like this!!!Cant wait to the new album \m/
The one song the band hates/regrets... covered by the best modern metal band. They should do disposable hero's instead
Exactly, they are some of my favorite guitarist, they are straight up Beast!!! and i agreed, Gojira works better without solos. :D
Hehe so cool the pic. Very nice cover!
NICE and Thank 😍
holy christ these guys are badasses...
I love this so much.
Holy shit that voice...

@JustForComments666 same!! I mean I've seen them live FIVE times!!! and each show surpasses the last!!!
i demand a metallica redo :P joe sounds so awesome on this one
I think they should cover the whole Ride the Lightning album.
Is there any way to get this on Spotify?
I couldn't find it. Hate breed covers it well, and that's on Spotify
tain enorme la reprise !! je la connaissais pas (la honte etant un fan de gojira...o_O)
un chef d'oeuvre revisité avec maestria
Nice..
where magic happens 2:35 fucking awesome voice
Gojira needs solos
Is not Band style
