You lot absolutely fucking smashed it with the feedback last night - So here’s FLYING🐳🐋 My 👖‘S are gone 💨 💨 Ps: The ending part was me giving my approval, not hating on the track, it’s an Irish thing🤣
@@Defensive_Wounds Same thing Mario with some of Tool's polymeters and polyrhythms. Two completely different styles, but we are still talking about two of the best drummers of all times, and their differences are what make them good
Gojira is a fun rabbit hole. The stuff off the Magma album is more accessible while their older stuff is full fledged death metal. All of it great. They are also one of the best live bands in metal.
@@infernopvp-y2b Silvera and Stranded are amazing instrumentally and lyrically, seems like you actually aren't a gojira fan. And don't like your own comments.
The morbid irony of Magma is that the album is steeped in grief over their mother having recently died and it ended up winning them a Grammy, something I'm sure their mother would love to have seen.
That ending scene was class- hard to decipher all the same if you actually liked what ya had heard!! The album that both songs youve heard are from, is from 2006, and its an acclaimed album that brought them to the forefront. That album is full on heavy, and yes they did indeed progress into more melodic, progressive territories since, whilst retaining intensity and kick ass riffing. I know youve prolly read here already- but more recent tracks like " The shooting Star", "Silvera" and the excellent "Stranded" are easier to get into, especially if what youve heard so far is understandably a bit of a shock to the senses! I dunno if others have mentioned to ya here, but Gojira themselves come from a coastal town in France,and a lot of their songs and lyrical statements deal with the Environment, nature and issues like climate change. Fair fucks to ya mate, for givin Gojia a go! Mite not be yer cupán tae to begin with, but check the more recent stuff out aswell mate,and see how ya do with those.
Flying whales and heaviest matter of the universe is like jumping directly into the deep end of the pool. Other tracks are more melodic and not as abrasive. I'd suggest some of my favorites like wolf down the earth, the axe, the gift of guilt
Wolf Down The Earth is a massively underrated song in my opinion. Honestly, I think you're the only person I've seen mention it in any comments. That song is phucking powerful dude.
awesome reaction man, Flying Whales always catches people off guard, such a badass song from one of the very best metal bands out there So many great songs to choose from if you decide to keep rockin Gojira. Where Dragons Dwell, The Art of Dying, Vacuity, Oroborous, Ocean Planet, The Gift of Guilt... so many badass songs
You would not believe how hype this is live! I've seen it both sitting and standing, sitting was hype, but in the mosh pit pretty much the whole song is crazy.
So you like prog/metal? You'll of been hearing Mastadon then yeah? I hope so, if not, rejoice for there is still time. The Last Baron, Jaguar God, Halloween to name 3 for you to start.
Thomas Ricci the live version will sit very well with him I think. Seeing them play is even more intense and emotional than the studio version sometimes!!! Any live video by them too is good.
Everything about this song is metal. This is definitely one of their top 3 greatest songs easily. In my opinion, of all the metal out there, this is top 20, maybe 10, greatest metal songs ever. In my opinion.
Gojira is so good. Have to agree Silvera and Stranded are probably their most accessible songs. Born in Winter has a great build up. The music video for Lowlands is really cool.
The whole album is a concept album, it follows a story, and this song makes even more sense when you follow the hero's journey from song 1 - Ocean planet
Hey Drew, thought i'd let you know Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) video dropped yesterday, i know you've already reacted to the song but this video of Danny playing live is really good quality which is rare to find and who doesn't want an excuse to watch the man the legend the Octopus put in some work on the drums. Also glad to see you enjoying Gojira they have mad talent !
Would be interesting to see you react to the Irish metal band Primordial, specifically the song The Coffin Ships, either the album version or the live version from Redemption festival in Dublin.
Always great fun to watch someone just discovering Gojira and just getting smacked over the head with their rawness! Been a big fan of these guys for a couple of years now and going to get to see them for my third time this summer! Now - since I've only just found your channel I've just had a brief look thtough your videos. Seems you haven't done Eluveitie yet? So that's my recommendation to you: please do yourself a favor and watch the video to Eluveitie - "Rebirth". Keep up the good work! Now to watch some more of your reactions!
This was pretty much identical to my reaction to this song the first time. Absolutely mind blown by this band a few years ago and got to see them at Sonic Temple last year. Everything we hear is as real as it can be
If you do any more Gojira and want something a bit different, I.e a bit more accessible or melodic then try Born In Winter, Low Lands or Shooting Star. For the heavier ones, something from the art of dying album like Toxic Garbage Island, Esoteric Surgery or even the masterpiece that is the title track.
i absolutely live for that reaction when the first riff hits lmaooo. i recommend checking out their performance of Where Dragons Dwell at Hellfest 2013 :)
their first 2 albums are blastbeats: the album, FMTS is arguably their best work, and Magma is their most melodic departure from their usual stuff to date. Also listen to Art Of Dying, mate
Gojira is one of those bands holding the torch of metal right now I recommend you listening to "Stranded" from their last album I would also like to recommend 3 really cool bands from this century Mastodon (prog/sludge/??) - Blood and Thunder Vektor (tech thrash) - LCD Power Trip (thrash) - swing of the axe
Another thing I dig about these guys, they are fighting for a cause. They donate to nature conservation efforts and help support animal rehab centers n' such. Guys have heart and I can get behind that.
You really should check out Enter Shikari, my favorite band since I first heard them. "Arguing with thermometers" would be nice to start I think - They are very versatile, every song is like an experience for itself!
Definitely try Low Lands by these guys if you want something that starts softer but pregresses into something a bit heavier. I think its the song I use when I want to warm someone up to metal :)
Good to hear an accent from home on one of these. lol You've hit the nail on the head, they're a progressive or "Prog" band, everything they do is a concept album or track of somesort with a over-arching message or theme to a full album. This whole album basiclly has the message "Save our planet and start today", the whales are meant to be the ones we should look to, they were here before us and they'll be here long after, so they're the first to leave and tell us we've wrecked the gaff. Whales pop up a lot in their music actually. Painted like "God-like" entities we need to learn from.
Dude so stoked your reacting to Gojira! Discovered them way back in 08 when I was in high school As a huge Tool fan, these guys had so many elements in there songs that reminded me of Tool! I always considered them the death metal version of Tool hahaha. Anyways songs you should also check out by Gojira Toxic Garbage Island, The Forest, The Art Of Dying, Remembrance, Ocean Planet, Love. Majority of there songs are amazing! If you ever get a chance to see them live don’t pass it up they absolutely kill it! Seen them 3 times live! Anyways enjoy the Gojira Journey! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm laughing, man. Glad to see Gojira's waves of sound and purpose hitting your brain. The art of dying is sick too, and where dragons dwell is such a trip.
That ending made me legit laugh. I remember when I showed my best friend at the time (about 15 years ago, around 13) some Suicide Silence for the first time. His reaction was so similar, he just went "fuuucking hell!" and started laughing. Ended up loving it so much he created a band and grew his hair out. Wish I still kept in touch.
Loving the gojira reactions you should try toxic garbage island and also the art of dying 2 amazing tracks. Your reaction at the end was amazing lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You lot absolutely fucking smashed it with the feedback last night - So here’s FLYING🐳🐋 My 👖‘S are gone 💨 💨
Ps: The ending part was me giving my approval, not hating on the track, it’s an Irish thing🤣
Where is your opinion on the song🤔? I couldn't figure out if you were completely blown away, if it was a bit too much or if it was both.
Please react to Stranded and Silvera by Gojira!!!
Dark deception kills the light blown away man! “Fuck off” in Ireland has multiple meanings, one being ‘holy shit that’s insane’ lol.
I knew what it meant. The smile said it all.
Silvera
If Danny Carey has 8 arms, Mario Duplantier has 6 feet
El Ardilla Records fair enough
6:43 to 7:01 - I would like to see Danny Carey TRY and do this bit perfectly! lol I think he might struggle tbh.
@@Defensive_Wounds Same thing Mario with some of Tool's polymeters and polyrhythms. Two completely different styles, but we are still talking about two of the best drummers of all times, and their differences are what make them good
@@Defensive_Wounds As A drummer I can tell you this is one of the easiest parts in this song...
@@zadongaming2962 I have troubles at that part, I find the intro to be the easiest imo
Gojira is a fun rabbit hole. The stuff off the Magma album is more accessible while their older stuff is full fledged death metal. All of it great. They are also one of the best live bands in metal.
Fully agree with this, best live show I've seen I think.
@@sedated_ape gojira is vanilla when you compare it to nickelback. Check out adele it is some awesome doom metal!
@@sedated_ape Spat me tea out reading that! lol Thats a chuckle i needed. :-D \m/
@@sedated_ape Last time I did that I pelted Chad in the back of the head with a rock
Absolutely amazing live
The breakdown in this song is one of the most visceral and psychedelic breakdowns I have ever heard to date
It's From the Sky for me
Still no band like gojira... "Sludge" comes close but is not up there
I'd recommend "Silvera" or "Stranded" if you want a little less heavy, still two of their most popular songs though!
silvera is heavy af in my opinion.... both in lyrics and instrumental... mostly text tho
@@puritanicaleuphoricmisanth4676and two of their shittiest songs.
@@infernopvp-y2b Silvera and Stranded are amazing instrumentally and lyrically, seems like you actually aren't a gojira fan. And don't like your own comments.
The only inherently bad gojira songs are the odd ones that aren’t music like “connected” they are mainly transitions
@@infernopvp-y2b Yeah... No. Sorry.
At this point you should do more Gojira xD I love you reactions.
Art of Dying is another masterpiece by them
I second this, easily my favorite song by them and one of my favorites over all.
I'll agree do art of dying next
Remembrance, embrace the world, lizard skin, wisdom comes, fire is everything, backbone, from the sky, esoteric surgery. The list goes on!
Gojira is touring with Deftones this summer!!!
Miss G Lateralus vinyl PFP
@@johnmullen4552 Of course!
Got my tickets for Dallas. Can't wait. Hopefully the Corona virus doesn't fuck it up.
That tour is going to be AWESOME! I wish my friends liked the music that I like. I want to go but I don't have anyone to go with ::(
I'm going to the show in philly
MORE GOJIRA!!!!!! These guys can't be unmatched
haha buddy its either they're unmatched or they can't be matched, not they can't be unmatched :p
@@liquidzen906 I was high when I wrote this. But you get what I mean. These guy vibe at a higher frequency than most bands today
Interlution can’t be unmatched 🤣🤣
*Rammstein laughs in German*
@@MK_2023. XD
Hahahahaha that ending, "Fook Off!!" couldn't have put it better myself. get yourself down the Gojira rabbit hole, they are one awesome band! 🤘
Gojira is a band that I have to be in a mood for, for sure. "Lowlands" is more mellow yet heavy.
One of my favourite gojira songs, it's got such a dark vibe but really mellow compared to a lot of their stuff.
that's the song joe's most proud of
The morbid irony of Magma is that the album is steeped in grief over their mother having recently died and it ended up winning them a Grammy, something I'm sure their mother would love to have seen.
gojira - the gift of guilt (live at brixton academy london), Cmoooon!!!!
Yes please
I’d let him experience more of their discography, so he gets a feel for the band itself before really seeing how they are in person.
@@WishMount why
Yaaaaaaaaas
YESSSSSSSSSSS

Wolf Down The Earth is a massively underrated song in my opinion. Honestly, I think you're the only person I've seen mention it in any comments. That song is phucking powerful dude.
@@tomstanton3080 thanks. I agree that's its underrated. Its has one the most memorable riffs in my opinion.
You just named 3 of my favorite songs by them, I'd like to hear Wolf Down the Earth live.
Flying whales is a pretty melodic song to be fair
awesome reaction man, Flying Whales always catches people off guard, such a badass song from one of the very best metal bands out there
So many great songs to choose from if you decide to keep rockin Gojira. Where Dragons Dwell, The Art of Dying, Vacuity, Oroborous, Ocean Planet, The Gift of Guilt... so many badass songs
OOo "where dragons dwell" , is my favourite next to "from mars"+"to sirius"
Add Unicorn to Where Dragons Dwell, as it's the intro to the song.
You would not believe how hype this is live! I've seen it both sitting and standing, sitting was hype, but in the mosh pit pretty much the whole song is crazy.
Gojira - Where Dragons Dwell (Live at hellfest 2013) is a must watch!
The Art of Dying, another example of Gojira absolutely nailing an intro :)
Gojira - The Gift of Guilt, live at Brixton Academy, London.
So you like prog/metal?
You'll of been hearing Mastadon then yeah?
I hope so, if not, rejoice for there is still time. The Last Baron, Jaguar God, Halloween to name 3 for you to start.
^^^^^^
Capillarian crest, Trilobite, Trainwerck, March of the fire ants, Iron Tusk, Aqua dememtia, Crystall Skull.
THE GIFT OF GUILT - GOJIRA
Thomas Ricci the live version will sit very well with him I think. Seeing them play is even more intense and emotional than the studio version sometimes!!! Any live video by them too is good.
The Axe and Gift of Guilt back to back from that show at Brixton Academy, f'n insane!!
CFH damn, was hoping to se your reaction to it, but glad you enjoyed!
that song is so awesome to play (on guitar), love it
Everything about this song is metal. This is definitely one of their top 3 greatest songs easily. In my opinion, of all the metal out there, this is top 20, maybe 10, greatest metal songs ever. In my opinion.
The best way to experience this band is live! Where Dragons Dwell from Hellfest 2013!
React to Art of Dying and The Gift of Guilt by Gojira !!!!!
When it finally hit your facial expression got me like: He he He Ha Ha ha Ha right??????!!
hahaha, right? made me smile
Gojira is so good. Have to agree Silvera and Stranded are probably their most accessible songs. Born in Winter has a great build up. The music video for Lowlands is really cool.
Check out «silvera» from the album Magma. Thats a safe bet, trust me.
Silvera!!!
correct version!!!!!!
should've been you're first, but WHALES!!!!!!!
NOW, you can enjoy the live....
Seriously tho, Live at Brixton Academy, London.....
Would highly recommend checking out “Rememberance” the outro is one of the heaviest things I’ve ever heard 🤘🏼
Ellis jones-hawes it’s brutal.
This pleeeease
Don't think he's feeling the heaviness think it's a little to intense for him
You didn’t like Heaviest Matter..
*whales shaking their heads*
I love Gojira. From Mars is so beautiful but soft. Then you have Love, Clone, lizard skin, Satan is a Lawyer. 🤘
Gift of Guilt is an INCREDIBLY emotional Gojira song, especially any of the official live variants.
Hahaha got ya fkn head ripped off mate!!! Gold shit right here. Thumbs up from Australia!
The smile that's on my face when watching this video. Your reactions bring me back to my first time hearing this song. Loved the video ❤️ keep it up!
This is "Easy Listening" by Gojira standards. 😋
Gojira - Stranded
Everyone knows what an o-face is but that at 4:38 is a go-face XD
The album cover art was drawn by Mario (the drummer of Gojira.) His brother is the vocalist/guitarist in Gojira.
One of, if not, THEE BEST, reactions to Gojira, EVER! Tell us how you really feel Drew????
that ''fuck off'' at the end hahahah I was expecting a review but truly thats the best review I could have hoped for hahah
9:31 Yeah that pretty much sums it up lad...🤘 🤘
The whole album is a concept album, it follows a story, and this song makes even more sense when you follow the hero's journey from song 1 - Ocean planet
ocean planet is such a good opening track, goddamn
never seen such a good case of face melting due heavy riffing, I expected some commentary but honestly, your facial expressions said everything, lol
"Maybe they'll tone it down slightly and show me different elements to them..." lol you couldn't have set yourself up any better for this song
🤣🤣🤣 lmao you win
Hey Drew, thought i'd let you know Danny Carey | "Pneuma" by Tool (LIVE IN CONCERT) video dropped yesterday, i know you've already reacted to the song but this video of Danny playing live is really good quality which is rare to find and who doesn't want an excuse to watch the man the legend the Octopus put in some work on the drums.

Fock dang I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again. Your face on the breakdown is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen. Haha!
Brilliant ending mate. 😂
Gojira in punchestown in June with deftones mastodon sepultura 🇮🇪
Would be interesting to see you react to the Irish metal band Primordial, specifically the song The Coffin Ships, either the album version or the live version from Redemption festival in Dublin.
Subbed, loved, liked. I love this journey into a full fledged Metal head.
This is where it starts. I cannot wait to see the full transformation.
Another heavy and emotional band is fit for an autopsy, especially their stuff off The Great Collapse and The Sea Of Tragic Beasts albums
Always great fun to watch someone just discovering Gojira and just getting smacked over the head with their rawness! Been a big fan of these guys for a couple of years now and going to get to see them for my third time this summer!
Now - since I've only just found your channel I've just had a brief look thtough your videos. Seems you haven't done Eluveitie yet? So that's my recommendation to you: please do yourself a favor and watch the video to Eluveitie - "Rebirth".
Keep up the good work! Now to watch some more of your reactions!
One song that no reaction people do is 'born in winter' such a beautiful song by gojira.
One of my fav reactions to this song. Your face said it there was no need for words.loved it
You should check out more Gojira definitely! They're my #1 favorite band and they are amazing. Listen to Born in Winter and Silvera please
《 L'Enfant_Sauvage 》 Finally someone is recommending Born in Winter!
Gojira is so great live! I hope to see them in a few months. As long as events are un-banned then I will see them for a 3rd time.
This was pretty much identical to my reaction to this song the first time. Absolutely mind blown by this band a few years ago and got to see them at Sonic Temple last year. Everything we hear is as real as it can be
Finally Gojira! "This Emptiness" is my favorite song
If you do any more Gojira and want something a bit different, I.e a bit more accessible or melodic then try Born In Winter, Low Lands or Shooting Star. For the heavier ones, something from the art of dying album like Toxic Garbage Island, Esoteric Surgery or even the masterpiece that is the title track.
From Mars
To Sirus
PLEASE👍😩
You will not be disappointed
8:11 careful right here
8:12 was priceless lmao! love your reactions dude, probably one of the best music react channels on youtube
React to the gift of guilt live at the brixton academy!
Explosia buddy...I promise you will not be disappointed 🔥🔥🔥
Is it possible that tool and gojira could have a love child that is a hybrid of the two ???
One of my favorite concerts ever happened last year at Chicago Open Air, when I got to see Gojira and Tool same night. What a treat!
I'm sure something of the sort will at least start brewing in the next 5 years. Maybe it's even brewing now
Check out Firmament by The Ocean Collective, you might like it. It's definitely a tool/gojira hybrid.
Isis have similar qualities to both.
Timmy wright unfortunate name lmao
i absolutely live for that reaction when the first riff hits lmaooo. i recommend checking out their performance of Where Dragons Dwell at Hellfest 2013 :)
their first 2 albums are blastbeats: the album, FMTS is arguably their best work, and Magma is their most melodic departure from their usual stuff to date. Also listen to Art Of Dying, mate
Gojira - a sight to behold
Gojira is one of those bands holding the torch of metal right now
I recommend you listening to "Stranded" from their last album
I would also like to recommend 3 really cool bands from this century
Mastodon (prog/sludge/??) - Blood and Thunder
Vektor (tech thrash) - LCD
Power Trip (thrash) - swing of the axe
Another thing I dig about these guys, they are fighting for a cause. They donate to nature conservation efforts and help support animal rehab centers n' such. Guys have heart and I can get behind that.
You really should check out Enter Shikari, my favorite band since I first heard them. "Arguing with thermometers" would be nice to start I think - They are very versatile, every song is like an experience for itself!
"Over the flow" and "Wisdom comes" are two awesome tracks from a lesser dramatic yet cool and heavy album "The Link". You'll like that one for sure
This song was my first taste of Gojira. I had the same reaction you had haha
That face mate, when it's building up right at the start... You know it's gonna kick off, that is THE face :) yes mate.
Check out Torri (intro)+Remembrance from Gojira as well! It's 1 video
Definitely try Low Lands by these guys if you want something that starts softer but pregresses into something a bit heavier. I think its the song I use when I want to warm someone up to metal :)
Embarking on a Gojira journey would be amazing. Especially if you do it reverse-chronologically like you did TOOL
people always notice the time signatures on the drums but they never notice just how fucking funky that bass is
Good to hear an accent from home on one of these. lol
You've hit the nail on the head, they're a progressive or "Prog" band, everything they do is a concept album or track of somesort with a over-arching message or theme to a full album.

Stranded or remembrance next pls.
awesome reaction!! ))))
Haha your reaction to heavy part was priceless 😁🤘
My exact reaction to Gojira when i first heard them. This was the song i first heard . Love em.
Lmao that ending
Loving the gojira reactions you should try toxic garbage island and also the art of dying 2 amazing tracks.
Your reaction at the end was amazing lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're in for a great time with Gojira!
I would love to see you react to meshuggah - blood(drum cam) or Animals as leaders - CAFO
Always great content! Even with songs that I have never heard of. I'm on the Journey with you! Keep it up bro
Just the beginning friend. Try Where Dragons Dwell (live), The Gift of Guilt, and/or The Art of Dying
Listened to this song for the first time yesterday. And only like 8 times after that
Slayer - angel of death
Dying fetus - fixated on devastation
Cryptopsy - graves of the fathers
@@BittersweetDuality yeah those are great too ... but i was trying to start slow with him
born in winter and then space time 🥺❤️
I heard this song 100 times so I'm used to it to get through without the stank face but that breakdown at the end is just insane
That transition at 5:17 tho...
