So why haven't you guys reacted to anything off the new album yet? ......Hold On, for instance, ahem ahem!!! Get ready for one of the best tracks on the album. I was blown away. Just sayin'!!!!
This is my favorite song of all time. I get chills every single time I hear it, without fail. The pure artistic expression of musicianship married perfectly with lyrics that have an intense message, with point and purpose, all wrapped up with a neat little bow by some of the best to ever do it. Hands down, my Best Song Ever.
Seeing you guys react to this band takes me back to when I was in my early twenties when I first heard them. I had the same "blown away" feeling. It's so satisfying getting to almost rediscover this band vicariously through you two. Gojira forever ♥️
I’ve been watching this channel since 5k subs, and your growth in appreciation of Metal music is my favorite aspect in watching. As for the ear plug discussion, I’ve always worn because it really helps knock down the very high pitched ear piercing sound and I get a better listening experience.
I’m suffering from severe tinnitus and some hearing loss today because I refused to wear earplugs for 30 years of concert going and days in my band. Loud environments are extremely uncomfortable bordering on painful and I struggle at concerts today even with earplugs. PSA: WEAR YOUR EARPLUGS OR YOU’LL REGRET IT LATER.
@@MrKevlarkent Wait. What? I tried to give my honest example of how when I was young I didn’t think exposure 100+ db routinely would damage my hearing as an attempt it might convince some younger person to not do the same thing…..and that’s “toxic masculinity”. Seriously? Either I don’t understand what toxic masculinity is or you don’t. I’m going to go with the latter. 🤦🏼♂️😳🙄
Gojira is the best saw them the first time in Toledo, OH with lamb of god I think In 2007. I was a long term fan after that. Their style and sound is so unique. I can’t go a week without listening to them. 15 years since and a fan till I die. They’re always been on their own plane sound wise, I’m glad you guys covered this. A testament to your wide range of taste and a love for music in general.
You guys are killing it! I really enjoy the fact that your language and terminology has expanded the further you've expanded your knowledge of various genres and sub-genres.
I owe Lost in Vegas a debt of gratitude, Ive been a viewer since almost the beginning, and I had heard of Gojira but never listened to them. Then Yall did a reaction video on them and they instantly turned into one of my favorite bands. Thank You Lost in Vegas!
The venue in Colorado is Red Rocks Amphitheater. I saw Megadeth there back in the 90s. Breathtaking vistas and OUTSTANDING sound quality without being deafening. \,,/
Your guy's Gojira reactions are the best. Seriously. I still remember when you did Heaviest Matter of the Universe. You both lost your shit around 3:35 in the intro when they go into that transition.
Here is the earplugs debate in a nutshell: You can hear it perfectly (without earplugs) once, and then maybe never hear anything right again. A lot of us back in the 70's and 80's decided to take that bet. It took me literally a month to recover from a Metallica concert in Dallas in 1993.

Yes... this band has surpassed all others... they are in the same category, to me , as Pink Floyd, Rush... bands that just seemed as if the planets and stars aligned so they could be forged! 🎩 🪄 🔮
i have been a metalhead for 30+ years and i have to say Gojira is my alltime favorite.. Their content, the technicality,the energy, the writing, the talent...they are the face of metal
Yes. My all time favorite Gojira song. I used to walk around at dusk on the wooded trail by my house and have this playing.. it's perfect for that calm erie feeling. I played it just yesterday morning on my foggy drive to work. It just is so fitting for that mood. Finally you went to a show!!!! 😄🎶🤘 I was at the Red Rocks Show 5 years ago. It was amazing. 💓
Earplugs are for avoiding permanent hearing loss only. If the sound is loud enough to cause you physical pain in your ears, wear the earplugs. No matter how much it affects the quality of sound at a concert, that's only a temporary experience whereas tinnitus is forever.
Yess!!! I have been waiting for this. I haven't watched yet, but I KNOW you'll love this song. This is a song I can and have listened to for litteral hours on end. Edit: first! Besides the LiV comment. Notif gang!
It's Red Rocks you're referencing, and it's the first time I actually really and appreciated Gojira honestly. I had heard them before, sort of, but then I heard them for real there, and it totally changed my perspective. They are amazing and so are you guys. I absolutely love that you guys appreciate this truly unique and powerful band. Yeah, hell yeah.
Gotta say ive been listening to gojira since 2005, one of my absolute favorites, and watching yall experience it brings me back to the feeling i had first hearing them. It brings me genuine joy seeing you both enjoy it. Much love
The guitar work on this song is underrated af. The octave pairing/multi finger fretboard tapping is pretty tricky to nail down, and Joe doing that while delivering yet another great vocal performance is unreal.
The whole album rocks. My personal favorite is The Axe. I just saw them May 3rd in San Antonio open up for Deftones. It was an amazing show but, I want to see them headline because they didn’t have an encore song 😞
That's what is so great about metal. There is such a broad spectrum of what you can do and play. It's only limited by your own imagination! Glad you guys are loving the journey, it never ends! Cheers!
I always interpreted that born in winter referred to life starting in the bitter cold of the vacuum of space. Especially with the Big Bang reference. And of course also referred to the harsh struggles and suffering of life. I always felt this song carried the spirit or “essence” of the will to live. Even before reading the lyrics and understanding context just the initial reaction to the sound of this song grabs you and you feel it in your soul. At least that was my experience.
Yeah guys, I'm so happy you did Born in Winter, it's one of my favorite Gojira songs, I would call it "their ballad". There is an official video for this song, it's very nice! So rich in emotions, so calm yet intense and explosive. Love it, and loved your reaction
Hey Ryan and Georges. I enjoy a lot your reactions. I'm a 47 years old metal fan (but not just metal 😉)and it's always a pleasure to see you discover new stuff. For this song I really would like to be able to hear it for the first time again. I'm French and it's a shame to see how underrated Gojira aree in their own country. I'll see them next month, can't wait 🤘. Greetings guys, keep it up.
Love seeing channels go from "wtf is this idk if I like it" to "Gojira is one of the greatest bands on earth". Everyone goes through the weird phase of being so blown away and confused that you have to take it in and enjoy it over and over to finally get it lol. Great reviews I've seen almost every Gojira reaction on TH-cam haha. Interesting watching people experience it for the first time especially lol.
I was thrilled when you two went off on my choice! I love this song and I was a teensy bit nervous that you wouldn't dig it as much as I do, boy was I wrong! See you back on patreon next month, I've missed you guys!
With earplugs I let my ears tell me. If I’m too close or the mix isn’t right (usually too much guitar) I’ll pop plugs in. I keep a set of eargasm plugs on my keychain and just pop them in when needed. Bands that are loud just for the sake of loud I always pop in the plugs. It also help to filter out things with certain bands and adds clarity. As a drummer I actually use them live and it helps me hear the guitar/bass/vocs as a whole and cuts down on the clutter of on stage audio!
I was waiting for this for so long. As a gojira fan, I highly recommend you to react to "Liquid Fire" or "The way of all flesh" songs with a huge emotional aspect and that hypnotic atmosphere in Gojira's way. And if you wanna explore in some more progressive stuff. I think that "Anamnesis" by Lucid Planet will blow your mind. I promise you won't regret. Cheers guys, hope everything goes good for you.
RIP Trevor Strnad ❤️🤘One of the best metal ambassador who sadly passed away last week. I don't think you would ever like The Black Dahlia Murder but he definitely deserves a shoutout! Love you guys!
Always brilliant. The most recent band to capture my imagination is Knocked Loose. He screams throughout the songs so there is a barrier to entry but they deliver magic moments. I love 'trapped in the grasp of a memory', but so many other bangers. I don't think LiV will ever be able to get passed the extreme hardcore style but for ppl out there that want to give something a go, it might be worth it.
@@bingokill i agree, even though i think his vocals refelct the lyrics, i understand why people wouldn’t like their style.. i fucking love everything about them personally especially their live shows
For ear plugs... chew a napkin, get it mushy, form it to an ear plug of your preferred shape and size, and plug your head. Make sure you leave a little bit sticking out so it's easy to remove. Best sound you can get with your ears plugged 🤘🏻
Said it once, gonna say it again: you guys have the coolest Gojira (and Tool) reaction on the tube, George always comes with the most interesting insights about the music. I agree that this is one of their best songs.
just when the channel starts to loose me a little you drop something like this :D if i can get on my soapbox for a min, what makes a reaction video great for me is when its a genuine first time listen and its a perfect suggestion for the tastes of the reviewer, you get something like this. quality over quantity, not whats the most popular, trust the suggestions from those that have hit home runs with you before. ok having said all that, i think you guys would also freak out on "Ladylike" by Big Wreck, its not heavy but it doesn't need to be. thanks guys.
There are more expensive earplugs you can get that tone down the decibels without losing much clarity. Worth the dollars in my opinion. Great song and reaction lads 🙂
I second this if you really like live music you definitely should go make a print out of your ear and buy earplugs that are tailored for the shape of your ear. You can chose the filter with the attenuation curve and the fact that it's shaped like your ear makes the plug really comfortable and more efficient, while still sounding like music. You can even sing with these
@@xmondoofficial119 Several brands will give you at least three options in earbud size, this meaning they have different options when you buy your buds. I would go with Creative, Sony, or JBL, in this order.
I use some of those and they actyetake the unnecessary crunch out and makes it all so much clearer. Unless I speak. Then it sounds like I am underwater
Probably one of my top 5 Gojira songs. Every time it goes into the hard part it gives me goosebumps. And Mario is just a master of snare ghost notes. Love it.
One of my favorites and I'm glad you listened to it, I think I said something about listening to this song a few years ago >.> I still think you guys should do some Primus. The bassist was rejected by Metallica because "He was too talented to be with them and needed to start his own band" I don't know what everyone else may say but, My Name Is Mud, Too Many Puppies or Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
I'd like to correct this order for the way it would connect with both of you. I get it, my best friend is the same way and I the same, you have to find the one song, beat, line, etc. etc. that makes you want to or open to the idea of a band or group, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Too Many Puppies. We had those two in our top three of the band and the other two odd balls were, My Name is Mud (Mine) John the Fisherman (His). Both recommended but I don't think they will be a 'I want to add this to the list forever and will enjoy every time no matter the day I've had, it will be better. Greatest bassist of all time and any bassist would be honored to be compared.
Red Rocks in Colorado is one of the best venues in the world Gojira did a show there in 2017 and the entire show is on Yt It's pro-shot 4k with pro sound check it out 🧐😎✌️🤘
I loved when you mentioned "EVOLUTION." That comment made so much sense... They are EnviroMetal! The way the Embrace Tribal Sounds with the most technical and Groovy shit!!!
Heard this song through a random auto-play result on TH-cam and it absolutely blew me away. I'm a strictly logical person and don't ascribe to astrology to any degree, but this song really paints a beautiful picture of what it's like to be born in the bitter cold of December. It fills me with a level of cosmic awe that I've never felt before, and it's incredible.
I learned this on guitar and let me tell you! They are innovative as hell! Tapping is nothing new since EVH made it popular but the way they implement it by tapping octaves to create this echo effect is hypnotizing! Love it!
Red rock amphitheater is the outside venue in Colorado. Its designed to reverb perfectly so that at talk volume you can hear clearly at the very top/back
I think you guys are thinking of Red Rocks. They have an amazing performance there of the song “Pray” you should definitely check out even if you don’t make a reaction to it.
Y'all are 100% right on Red Rocks - the best outdoor venue around. They renamed the previous "Best Outdoor Venue" award to the "Red Rocks" award because Red Rocks won every year running. I saw Gojira and Opeth there a few years ago and it was incredible. I normally have a strong preference for small venues since that's what I grew up seeing metal bands in and playing in myself, but Red Rocks is my one exception. I've never seen a bad show there.
This is the song that really opened my eyes to Gojira, it led to loving the whole album and in a short space of time their whole catalogue. just such a wonderfully constructed song.
Seems very weird, but my best friend since first grade, Billy, showed me this song and I fell in love with the band IMMEDIATELY. Then I got into the band and was at a loss for words. It’s such a weird song to get into them with but it happened and I do not regret it for a millisecond. Gojira needs to go back to the OG ways such as The Link/pre-2010 Gojira.
This was a first spin for me from Gojira and I loved it. Ryans reaction was how I was feelin haha. Think you guys would dig After The Burial-Pennyweight. Theres even a drum playthrough thats vocal less that I would be curious if George likes more or less than the original. Have a good one guys!
Gojira never disappoints. I've been listening to them for 20 years now, as a french metal lover i was lucky enough to see them live dozen times, in fact they are the band i've seen the most in concert. I'm glad they became one of the top tier band worldwide now, they really deserved it. Also very cool guys, i remember cheering a beer with Christian few weeks after they opened for Metallica back in 2012 and he told us that for them it was beyond their dreams to play on the same stage, while having sparkles in his eyes. For all of new the Gojira listeners reading me: you should definitly dig into their old stuffs, the first albums were ahead of their time! More dirty and complex with some Morbid Angel vibes and some crazy pockets of groove! Still on my playlist on a regular basis , for eternity.
This is an older Patreon exclusive video guys fyi! Enjoy!
Gotta react to "Gojira - A Sight to Behold live 2010" and "Gojira - Vacuity live 2010"
React To Bris Need Hammy
RED ROCKS 2017..PEACE
Wretch 32 daily duppy please
So why haven't you guys reacted to anything off the new album yet? ......Hold On, for instance, ahem ahem!!! Get ready for one of the best tracks on the album. I was blown away. Just sayin'!!!!
The entire Elephant Sausage album is phenomenal.
jfc I died reading this
Lmaoo cracked me
You got me with this one lol
But yes, this album, front to back is absolute fire.
SUS
This whole album is just unreal...
One of their most under appreciated. Especially when it came out. Such a cohesive album, start to finish. It’s a vibe.
It's not only my favorite gojira album but might be my favorite metal album. It's definitely in the running. It's a masterpiece.
Their last good album from start to finish
i just listened to it start to finish and i figured its real
The three album run of Mars to Flesh to this is one of the best album runs in music history
And of course, if you want another "soft" Gojira song, you guys have to try "Low Lands".
I think a better recommendation is Global Warming
The Trails or The Chant off their last album are pretty good too
An unconventional Gojira song i love is "A Sight to Behold", passionate music and lyrics
That outro is amazing !
“Soft”. Gotta love the metal purists! 😂
This is my favorite song of all time. I get chills every single time I hear it, without fail. The pure artistic expression of musicianship married perfectly with lyrics that have an intense message, with point and purpose, all wrapped up with a neat little bow by some of the best to ever do it. Hands down, my Best Song Ever.
U❤😢😢😂😂
Red Rocks Amphitheater is the Colorado outside venue they were referring to. There's a YT vid with a Gojira performance there, it's ridiculously good.
Top 5 concert of all time imo number 1 but I understand why it wouldn’t be for others
Red Rocks is amazing. It was the live show at Red Rocks that got me into Gojira to begin with.
I didn't get to see Gojira there unfortunately, but that venue is incredible
That was the best show I've ever attended. Gojira was incredible. Opeth was incredible.
@@eniph2953 Devin Townsend Project, then Gojira, then Opeth...in Red Rocks. Been going to shows for 30 years and this one definitely stands out.
Seeing you guys react to this band takes me back to when I was in my early twenties when I first heard them. I had the same "blown away" feeling. It's so satisfying getting to almost rediscover this band vicariously through you two. Gojira forever ♥️
Yeah ! Gojira is beyond ' metal ', they are channeling the earths soul energy , this song often makes me weep ...Thanks guys !

perfect example of "toxic masculinity" (hate the phrase but its the best word for it i know)
@@MrKevlarkent Wait. What?

@@ThePhilTorretto For what it's worth, I appreciate the advice. The other person is probably a 13 year old using a term they heard on TikTok.
Seriously. Just fn do it damnit.
Been listening to Gojira since COVID, I could say they’re easily in my top 3 favorite bands now. Great musicians
what are the other 2?
I'm so glad you guys released this! It's my favorite by Gojira...SO next level!
Gojira is the best saw them the first time in Toledo, OH with lamb of god I think In 2007. I was a long term fan after that. Their style and sound is so unique.

That tour was fantastic. Saw the stop at Cain’s Ballroom. Machine Head killed it that night.
I live in toledo What venue?
I always love George’s one liners like at 4:00 after Ryan gets done explaining something so meticulously 😂

Joe is absolutely incredible at playing and singing but highly unlikely that they tracked him doing both of these at once, to be fair!
The whole album rocks. My personal favorite is The Axe.
I just saw them May 3rd in San Antonio open up for Deftones. It was an amazing show but, I want to see them headline because they didn’t have an encore song 😞
You're right they deserve to headline. Personally my favorite band. The lyrics, the feel of their songs. Plus they're really cool guys

I second this if you really like live music you definitely should go make a print out of your ear and buy earplugs that are tailored for the shape of your ear.
You can chose the filter with the attenuation curve and the fact that it's shaped like your ear makes the plug really comfortable and more efficient, while still sounding like music.
You can even sing with these
Like? You guys can’t tell me this and not give me a brand or link or something?
@@xmondoofficial119 Several brands will give you at least three options in earbud size, this meaning they have different options when you buy your buds. I would go with Creative, Sony, or JBL, in this order.
@@xmondoofficial119 mine are from a company called Elacin, they specialise in ear protection
I use some of those and they actyetake the unnecessary crunch out and makes it all so much clearer. Unless I speak. Then it sounds like I am underwater
Gojira's transitions with tempo is so beautiful
I still remember the first time I heard this song- GD it blew me away and left me in awe
Saw them live in 2005 in Helsinki. Didn't know anything, just happened to be there. I joined with the screaming.
Probably one of my top 5 Gojira songs. Every time it goes into the hard part it gives me goosebumps. And Mario is just a master of snare ghost notes. Love it.
One of my favorites and I'm glad you listened to it, I think I said something about listening to this song a few years ago >.> I still think you guys should do some Primus. The bassist was rejected by Metallica because "He was too talented to be with them and needed to start his own band" I don't know what everyone else may say but, My Name Is Mud, Too Many Puppies or Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
I'd like to correct this order for the way it would connect with both of you. I get it, my best friend is the same way and I the same, you have to find the one song, beat, line, etc. etc. that makes you want to or open to the idea of a band or group, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Too Many Puppies. We had those two in our top three of the band and the other two odd balls were, My Name is Mud (Mine) John the Fisherman (His). Both recommended but I don't think they will be a 'I want to add this to the list forever and will enjoy every time no matter the day I've had, it will be better. Greatest bassist of all time and any bassist would be honored to be compared.
Thanks for the reaction, hadn’t heard this before
Red Rocks in Colorado is one of the best venues in the world Gojira did a show there in 2017 and the entire show is on Yt It's pro-shot 4k with pro sound check it out 🧐😎✌️🤘
This is the song that introduced me to one of my favourite bands, guys. So amazing.
I loved when you mentioned "EVOLUTION." That comment made so much sense... They are EnviroMetal! The way the Embrace Tribal Sounds with the most technical and Groovy shit!!!
this an old school reaction, but god bless to the people who get to see this finally🙌🏽
“The Axe” from the same album is so good it hurts.
This is the song that got me into Gojira. And still my favorite from them. It's totally unique and flows so naturally.
Heard this song through a random auto-play result on TH-cam and it absolutely blew me away. I'm a strictly logical person and don't ascribe to astrology to any degree, but this song really paints a beautiful picture of what it's like to be born in the bitter cold of December. It fills me with a level of cosmic awe that I've never felt before, and it's incredible.
I learned this on guitar and let me tell you! They are innovative as hell! Tapping is nothing new since EVH made it popular but the way they implement it by tapping octaves to create this echo effect is hypnotizing! Love it!
Thanks for posting this!
Red rock amphitheater is the outside venue in Colorado. Its designed to reverb perfectly so that at talk volume you can hear clearly at the very top/back
Amazing choice, and another amazing reaction experience. Please consider "a sight to behold" to keep exploring Gojira's creativity.
I think you guys are thinking of Red Rocks. They have an amazing performance there of the song “Pray” you should definitely check out even if you don’t make a reaction to it.
I love a lot of Gojira songs, but this one holds a place in my heart .
I'm a 52 year old rock fan and embarrassed to admit this but I've never even heard of Gojira. Time to get up to speed. They sound great!
Great song and reaction. Definitely a song that l will go back to and l was born in autumn!
Y'all are 100% right on Red Rocks - the best outdoor venue around. They renamed the previous "Best Outdoor Venue" award to the "Red Rocks" award because Red Rocks won every year running.
I saw Gojira and Opeth there a few years ago and it was incredible. I normally have a strong preference for small venues since that's what I grew up seeing metal bands in and playing in myself, but Red Rocks is my one exception. I've never seen a bad show there.
This is the song that really opened my eyes to Gojira, it led to loving the whole album and in a short space of time their whole catalogue. just such a wonderfully constructed song.
Glad you guys got to this one!
Seems very weird, but my best friend since first grade, Billy, showed me this song and I fell in love with the band IMMEDIATELY. Then I got into the band and was at a loss for words. It’s such a weird song to get into them with but it happened and I do not regret it for a millisecond. Gojira needs to go back to the OG ways such as The Link/pre-2010 Gojira.
Hilarious. My life long friend Billy has gotten me into a massive array of post hardcore and metal lol.
They have to do “Clone”. That song is insane and from their raw first album. One of Gojira’s best. LETS GET THEM TO DO IT.
Space time is my fave from that album. Clone is amazing as well.
FINALLY! My favorite Gojira song!
Love listening to music with you guys... :)
I really don’t think Gojira can make a bad song at this point, they’re incredible ❤
Gojira is intelligent and well crafted, embraced by spontaneity and honesty.
This was a first spin for me from Gojira and I loved it. Ryans reaction was how I was feelin haha. Think you guys would dig After The Burial-Pennyweight. Theres even a drum playthrough thats vocal less that I would be curious if George likes more or less than the original. Have a good one guys!
Hahaha loved this reaction, Gojira are the shizznizzle
I Just saw Gojira along with Deftones at the Greek Theatre in LA, they are an amazing band and definitely deserve to be in the limelight
Amazing Gojira all time) love'u show! Respect from Russia!
Lost in Vegas doing another Gonira song . Life is good 🙌🏼
My first introduction to Gojira was "Stranded", but "Born in Winter" spoke to me and got me to really love the band!
Gojira never disappoints. I've been listening to them for 20 years now, as a french metal lover i was lucky enough to see them live dozen times, in fact they are the band i've seen the most in concert. I'm glad they became one of the top tier band worldwide now, they really deserved it. Also very cool guys, i remember cheering a beer with Christian few weeks after they opened for Metallica back in 2012 and he told us that for them it was beyond their dreams to play on the same stage, while having sparkles in his eyes.
For all of new the Gojira listeners reading me: you should definitly dig into their old stuffs, the first albums were ahead of their time! More dirty and complex with some Morbid Angel vibes and some crazy pockets of groove! Still on my playlist on a regular basis , for eternity.
