I was at this show with Opeth headlining.. it was one of the most beautiful concert experiences I've ever had. The moon was red and on the horizon behind them while they played. They played a beautiful show and it was kind of hard to watch Opeth afterwards😂
@tzt1182 This show made my wife become a fan of metal concerts. All other types of concerts are kind of boring now🤣. My wife suprised me with meet and greet tickets for the Gojira/Mastodon tour this year. They trade off each night on which band finishes the show. I like Mastodon, but luckily Gojira closed the show out and I got to meet them! Caught a drum stick and a pick as well because we were front row on the rail. My only complaint from this tour was that the setlist left out some of my favorite songs. They seemed to remove some of the older/ heavier (better)songs and replaced them with newer/slower tracks from the Amazonia album.
I haven’t seen such a hungry, ferocious band bringing this intensity in a longggg time. These French boys were EXACTLY what metal needed at EXACTLY the right time
Sorry for your loss, genuinely. And welcome to the metal community. Despite common perception, there are a lot of great and supportive and loving people in this world. As you can probably tell by listening to the frontman here. The metal community gave me a place to belong when I had nothing else, nowhere else to fit in. There's always some bad apples, but it's mainly love and acceptance around here. I'm sure your son felt just as strongly about it, being in a band and having a real stake in the local scene (I know the feeling.) There's a metal song for every single mood and feel, 'metal" itself is like a whole new section of music of it's own, kind alike there's 'normal' music then there's this whole world with just as many sub genres as there are types of other music. Probably because rock naturally progressed to metal in the 80's, then the record exec's took a huge step backwards in the 90's wanting literally everything on the radio to sound like Nickelback. (not kidding, you can research it, there were 3 people in charge of EVERYTHING on the radio pretty much still are, and after nickel back blew up if you were trying to get on the radio they had one question only: Do they sound like Nickelback?) Meanwhile, metal kept pushing forward and became a truly democratic music of the people, purely decided on by the peoples vote by going to shows and buying their music. even though music is essentially free, Metal and rock still have the highest amount of fans still buying physical copies of music, purely to support the band they like. The metal scene is more than music, it's the front lines of people pushing the envelope and progressing this world, like rock in the 60's and 70's. New, 'out of control,' taking the world by storm (again) and just like classic rock, very progressive groundbreaking unprecedented musical style, and the top technical proficiency, raising the bar of what's possible. To me, classic rock, jazz, and metal all live in the same place, just on different sides of the spectrum. All of them progressive, rebellious, high level music that creates a cultural revolution. I wish you son was still with us carrying on the tradition, but I'm sure he's somewhere looking down excited as HELL about how Gojira "won the olympics" lol. Happy to see you here

My wife screamed at me from the other room when she saw them playing the opening ceremony. Saw them years ago live and could not believe how amazing they are
Silvera sounds absolutely MONSTEROUS in this mix. I dont think there is a better live band out there than Gojira when it comes to a quality perspective.
Damn I'm French, I knew Gojira by name, but never really took the time to listen. Now the Olympics came, their skit on the Opening ceremony blew my mind, and now I'm here, listening to everything Gojira I can haha. Love you all
Je les connaissait déjà bien avant. C'est un groupe qui est important pour moi, je suis heureux qu'un groupe de métal ait joué aux Olympics, enfin on arrêtera peut-être de dire des conneries des année 80 sur le métal ! Nn, surtout que c'est je pense l'un des groupe les plus influents ui aient existé depuis au moins les année de Sliok ot et compagnie, je dirais ps jusqu'à depuis Metallica, mais pas loin
I really love the false start. Joe seems genuinely sorry for the screw up. And Mario takes advantage and hypes the crowd up with his sticks. Just a great moment.
Saw these guys in about 2018 in KC in support of Slipknot. I was excited to see Slipknot and didn't know about Gojira until that day. They stole the show ... Their performance rocked!! So much so, that I almost got bored of Slipknot about halfway through their set...
@@ibanezbtb91 the slipknot is all about their antiques and weirdness that gets them attention in my opinion, I guess there're good enough and there is some talent in all bands at that level, but I don't see what all the hype is or over hype in some cases is all about , but I do realize everybody likes different stuff and you can do that graciously
Holy shit, i never knew Gojira was so heavy. This is my first time listening to Gojira, no joke. This is insane how good they are. I'm more of a Metallica guy, but this is a masterpiece.
You can realy hear their foundations lie in bands like Metallica and Sepultura but they sounds nothing like. One of the few new bands ive gotten into since the late 90's. Gojira is A true next level evolution of heavy metal.
Jean-Michel always gets into it and goes as hard as they are heavy, like he plays and performs like he's the happiest person playing for the entire world having every bit of fun that's humanly possible. I was watching an old _The Way Of All Flesh_ vid the other day and even back then when they were only playing clubs he was fully in it.
As a Colorado musician, I’ve been fortunate to play drums at this venue many times and there is no other gig like it. It’s a spiritual experience on both sides of the stage. You and the crowd are just locked. The sound is incredible. You’re looking up at ramp of people as far as you can see with towering rocks on each side. If you ever have the chance to see a show there, do it. And Gojira is the most perfect band to see there.
In a day and age when it’s difficult to differentiate one band from another, here comes Gojira with a unique genuine sound; few bands in history have achieved that.
@@1848revolt I've known them only for the last 3 years and I've been a metalhead my whole damn life. Why can't people like you just accept and appreciate the fact that bands grow and enlarge their fanbase? If every metalhead knew Gojira, they'd be #1 in many people's opinion, but that is just not the reality. Don't be rude, dude.
I've been into metal music for 48 of my 51 years, and this band brings out emotions unlike ANY band I've ever heard. Just an incredible group of musicians. My god, they are absolutely FUCKING incredible. 😊
Always been mostly a thrash guy. Saw the Olympic performance and now I’ve listened to Flying Whales innumerable times. This drummer fucking rules. Jesus.
My daughter loves this band and her brother took her to see them in St Louis last year. Now I see why she loves them. This is absolutely by far one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. These people love them.
For the first 4 years of my eldest son's life, he's only ever seen daddy head banging to Gojira with his headphones on. Today my wife accidentally flipped the switch (no pun intended) and the sound from the TV came belting through the lounge. The reaction from him was one of pure shock and then excitement. The proudest moment of my life was when he started head banging with me in unison. Music for life! Thank you, Gojira. We love you.
He’s definitely a very solid, extremely talented drummer. Best? Hell no lol. Thomas haake of meshuggah, Alex rudinger, George Kollias, stef broks to name a few.
Never listened to Gojira before I found Amozonia on youtube. Went out and bought Fortitude got it home and its not been out of the cd player since. So impressed with this band.
Sometimes find it hard to believe I saw them in Glasgow playing to maybe 300 ppl and they blew me away. They're definitely not playing to 300 anymore. Amazing band.
They came through my city years ago. I was lukewarm to Gojira at the time so I didn’t attend. Now that I’ve come around to them I’m really hoping they come back near me and play
@Robodude_0528 Their setlist is quite a bit softer this year. They removed a couple of the heavier songs and added some newer tracks. Still amazing....but I'm there to headbang!
Haven't been to many shows in my life, but I saw them at the start of Mega Monsters w/Lorna Shore & Mastodon, and I could have easily and gladly died happy that night 🖤
I’ve been there..twice Seen Gojira over 5-6 times I NEED to see them at RED FUCKING ROCKS haha then I can hike pikes peak all hungover the next day and try to hand feed a deer 🦌
Not only was it a great Gojira show but Opeth was the headliner. what a show. I feel so incredibly grateful to have been there. It was in May and it was chilly and windy. I watch this now along with garden of the titans {opeth} and tears stream down my face.
why exercise normally when you can just listen to Gojira? You get all the workout, same amount of calories burnt (maybe even more depending on how into it you get), and is 100 times more fun. 10/10 would mosh again.
you laugh, but my fitbit recognized me attending a gojira concert as a long workout of cardio. i saw lamb of god a month ago and it was like 1000 calories burned😂
A lot!!! They have been beneath "my radar" for long time. Although i planned to listen to them prior olympics 2024. Of course epic olympics performence provided "kick" to finally do it. What a band! 🤘🤘🤘
For the new comers don't miss their side project called "Empalot". Funny metal. Back in the days I saw them in the Basque country in France it was just awesome. The album is called "tous aux cépes ". I think it's available on youtube
I’ll never forget the first time I saw these guys, in a crowd filled with people who had no clue who they were, second opening act. I knew, and assured everyone that they had no clue what they would witness. Gojira utterly crushed the crowd with the weight of their presence. Unbelievable.
Not to mention all the guitar riffs that ring in my head when I sleep at night, such a superb band I recently found and now I listen to Gojira constantly all day and nothing else
These guys are at a level that is almost incomprehensible. The drummer's double bass drum work is spectacular, the way he shifts rhythms and tempos, it's mind boggling.
Pray is just...I mean,.... just when I thought Toxic garbage island was the best song...they finish up with this one..epic beyond epic...the ending is just really great...props as well to their immaculate crew to keep the machine rolling for these live gems...great visuals..sound perfect...how?? Hard work I would imagine haha

I was interrupted by a political ad at the start of Stranded, I’ve decided not to vote for them 😤😂 so damn annoying. Gojira kept me from clicking away from this performance
I think Gojira kind of has that effect on people. For me, I wasn't listening to a whole lot of metal from 2008-2013 other than Tool and maybe Deftones who aren't pure metal bands to begin with. Then I started to come back around but thought 'meh, not into them.' The I smacked myself in the face when I came across The Gift of Guilt live at the Brixton Academy and straightened up real fast😄😄... now their one of my favorite metal bands ever. They are so. Fucking. GOOD.
Never gave Gojira a chance (for wtv reason). I'm only 25 minutes in and it sounds like I've been missing out on a lot great riffing. These guys kick ass.
My first listening of Gojira. I must to say that the rythm section (drumm anda bass) is one of the best combinations ive heard in metal. Guitars, nothing to say, very good too.
I am french,and had never heard about them before the Olympic games…. Shame on me! I have watched this video maybe 10 times since. It is a beautifull place for such a concert
This band's vibe is about 100x bigger live than on recording. I never really got the hype around them until I started watching live videos. Arguably the most entertaining and organic metal drummer since Danny Carey.
organic is a great word to describe him. He has the groove, the pocket, the chops, the technique. I mean, his way of writing drums is from another world
This is the most breathtaking performance I have ever listened to. Holy shit, Pray, The Cell, and L’enfant Sauvage bring tears to my eyes! This band holds a very special place in my heart. Thank you for posting!
I wish the cuts lasted longer than 0.45 seconds. These quick cuts give me ADHD. At least give us 5 seconds on a shot, allow us to be present and experience the scene for more than a heartbeat.
@@michaelbogutzki4623 this was a thing many people criticised about the Rammstein: Paris film, edited by Jonas Åckerlund, it was also cutted in a very high frequency cause it was the directors idea of how to translate the feeling of a Liveshow, where so much happens that u cant watch everything at ones, into a movie. Here interesingly the high frequency didnt jump into my eyes right away like in the movie I just mentioned, but I see what u mean, nevertheless I was very pleased bu the camerawork and the colours and so on😊
incroyables petits français qui sont parti distribuer les grosses claque à travers le monde!!! merci à eux!!! en plus ils sont humbles ils ne ressemblent pas à des stars, BRAVO!
Pourquoi "petits"? Sont pas petits du tout, tu le dis toi même, et tu as raison, ils "distribuent des grosses claques à travers le monde". Complexe d'infériorité peut être?
Gojira is the first band I've gotten into this heavy since the days of Metallica, Megadeth and Sepultura. I mean they are on a non-stop revolving playlist,i just cant stop. This is exactly what the next generation of metal should sound like. The influence of previous mentioned band is clearly audible in their music yet they sound nothing like them. The riffs are just so fresh and heavy, so aggressive yet musical, the drums are so fucking good, the bass hard hitting. The vocals diverse with lyrical content so befitting the times. I kind of miss the awesome guitarsolo sometimes but the breakdowns , switch ups and outro's are so damn hard hitting you don't even notice they hardly play solo's. I guess I also really like its a band where the singer is also the rhythm guitar player like previous mentioned bands. Plays so fucking tight! They are just great, love their evolution in albums where you can hear they don't just keep playing the same old stuff like a one trick pony but age and grow up and play the music they want to instead of just pleasing a hardcore fanbase.
The first time I heard these guys was live opening for Mastodon back in maybe '13 or '14. My brain nearly exploded. Became an instant huge fan. I love everything about them and what they're about and this performance is a masterpiece. Flawless production AND execution!!
Thank you so much for this. I may have been tripping my face off on acid, but this was easily the best show I've ever attended. The visual elements blended in perfectly with the venue in a way that I don't think I've experienced before or since

Non-metal heads have no idea just how soothing METAL is for the weary soul ! God bless the square wave form !
The breakdown in "L'enfant Sauvage" in this live version/mixing is one of the greatest things that ever happened in music, hands down.
Could not agree more; it's become my favorite song of theirs.
When they did it in Poland in 2018 it hit like a freight train
Correct 🔥
it's surely fast as shit....
Absolutely godly.
Gojira is like mature metal. One of the rare ones who sonically owned going mainstream. Been a fan. 🤘🏻
The Shooting Star during this set is one of the best live performances of any song I’ve ever heard. Just stunning.

Great to hear you can enjoy them too!

I’m in my mid 50s and these lads remind me just how exciting, challenging and enjoyabke metal can be!😊
Finally a band that understands the importance of excellent sound!!!! And that drummer is a fucking machine !!!!
For the first 4 years of my eldest son's life, he's only ever seen daddy head banging to Gojira with his headphones on. Today my wife accidentally flipped the switch (no pun intended) and the sound from the TV came belting through the lounge. The reaction from him was one of pure shock and then excitement. The proudest moment of my life was when he started head banging with me in unison. Music for life! Thank you, Gojira. We love you.
Ioyuou
That's really sweet
23:29 such an epic moment. Joe passionately singing in the center of the stage, the lighting, the. Zooming out to the huge crowd. Just epic
Best drummer in the world. There is nothing this dude can't do and he never misses a beat.
Danny Carey, tho...
@@projecttapeworm Danny's really good, but I don't think he's at this level
He’s definitely a very solid, extremely talented drummer. Best? Hell no lol. Thomas haake of meshuggah, Alex rudinger, George Kollias, stef broks to name a few.
Tony Royster was better when he was...12!! No joke, check this, it's hard to believe:
th-cam.com/video/BA5D-WEcNGA/w-d-xo.html
He is 37 now.
I'd put Mario on par with Carey and Haake for sure
Never listened to Gojira before I found Amozonia on youtube. Went out and bought Fortitude got it home and its not been out of the cd player since. So impressed with this band.
hooo somebody tell this guy about Magma
The 🐇 hole of FANTASTICNESS IS ..... 🤘🤘🤘🤘😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🥴🤘🤘🤘🤯
EXPLOSIA ANYONE.......
You have to listen to 'From Mars To Sirius'!
What's a cd player?
Dude, I want to see you get to "terra incognita", I would do anything to listen to that album for the first time again
This is a phenomenal concert fucking hell, Gojira never misses on their live performance
Sometimes find it hard to believe I saw them in Glasgow playing to maybe 300 ppl and they blew me away. They're definitely not playing to 300 anymore. Amazing band.
Wow congratulations that’s so cool.
Dude.. Seriously same here I seen them in 2008 at a small club in Albuquerque with Car Bomb. After that they played much bigger venues.
Mario stamina is ridiculous. Long live Gojira
And mind you, Red Rocks is 7,000ft above sea level.
I will die happy when I eventually see Gojira live
Saw them in Mexico. It was the heaviest show I've ever been to.
I get to meet them in Kansas City in 3 days......my wife suprised me and I will forever be grateful for it.
They came through my city years ago. I was lukewarm to Gojira at the time so I didn’t attend. Now that I’ve come around to them I’m really hoping they come back near me and play
@Robodude_0528 Their setlist is quite a bit softer this year. They removed a couple of the heavier songs and added some newer tracks. Still amazing....but I'm there to headbang!
Haven't been to many shows in my life, but I saw them at the start of Mega Monsters w/Lorna Shore & Mastodon, and I could have easily and gladly died happy that night 🖤
To be this hard and yet sound so melodic and clean
its fucking unreal
Thanks to sound designer and engineering. Tons of FX on voice and guitars.
I can’t get enough of this video. Mario is absolutely amazing on drums. The best drummer in metal by far in my opinion!
Holy moly - that locations is absolutely stunning and a perfect fit for Gojira! Would have sold my soul to be there.
If you ever get a chance to see a show at Red Rocks do it!!
I was at this show. One of those moments that you never want to end....
I’ve been there..twice
Seen Gojira over 5-6 times
I NEED to see them at RED FUCKING ROCKS haha then I can hike pikes peak all hungover the next day and try to hand feed a deer 🦌
Honestly the greatest venue for concerts I've ever been to!
Not only was it a great Gojira show but Opeth was the headliner. what a show. I feel so incredibly grateful to have been there. It was in May and it was chilly and windy. I watch this now along with garden of the titans {opeth} and tears stream down my face.
This show was so devastating, pretty much the perfect metal show... Happy to say I was there with two of my best friends, so epic!
The sound quality here is phenomenal
why exercise normally when you can just listen to Gojira? You get all the workout, same amount of calories burnt (maybe even more depending on how into it you get), and is 100 times more fun. 10/10 would mosh again.
yeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂 bruh
@@larryearlvictor6289 🤘🏼🤘🏼
The sauna made of human flesh
you laugh, but my fitbit recognized me attending a gojira concert as a long workout of cardio. i saw lamb of god a month ago and it was like 1000 calories burned😂
Seeing these guys live is an absolute all out assault on all your senses. Every fiber of your being will be shaken to the core.
Whoever was responsible for the sound deserves a raise! The drums sound absolutely bonkers 🤯🤪🤘
His names Mario
@@larndelaney7848 mario should get a raise. Drums sound so clean I could eat off them.
@@wolfen888 Mario is the drummer lol
@@DannyTOG 😂😂😂 🤘
Mother Nature is responsible, it's Red Rocks after all.
I can’t wait to see gojira and Korn the same day this upcoming tour it’s gonna be crazy
I'm seeing them in september as well, I'm hyped! Been a fan of theirs for a little while now, and I really hope they do toxic garbage island
@@prototype7696 me too Sep 14
Seeing them in Silicon Valley at Shoreline
I’m seeing them at LTL!! So excited 🤘
If you’ve just come from the Olympics. Welcome. Look what you’ve been missing!
saw them around this time at a small auditorium, i couldn't hear the next day! So awesome
A lot!!! They have been beneath "my radar" for long time. Although i planned to listen to them prior olympics 2024. Of course epic olympics performence provided "kick" to finally do it. What a band! 🤘🤘🤘
For the new comers don't miss their side project called "Empalot". Funny metal. Back in the days I saw them in the Basque country in France it was just awesome. The album is called "tous aux cépes ". I think it's available on youtube
yes !
You’re not lying, and I’m a metal head lol
That girl caught that drum stick. The happyness on her face brought a tear to my eye amazing
Just saw them in Atlanta a few days ago. Best live band I have ever seen and it's not even close. They're a once in a generation talent.
I’ll never forget the first time I saw these guys, in a crowd filled with people who had no clue who they were, second opening act. I knew, and assured everyone that they had no clue what they would witness. Gojira utterly crushed the crowd with the weight of their presence. Unbelievable.
Not to mention all the guitar riffs that ring in my head when I sleep at night, such a superb band I recently found and now I listen to Gojira constantly all day and nothing else
These guys are at a level that is almost incomprehensible. The drummer's double bass drum work is spectacular, the way he shifts rhythms and tempos, it's mind boggling.
AEG Production Manager: Sherwood Webber IV
This is the person responsible for this crushing crisp recording of this devastating performance
Pray is just...I mean,.... just when I thought Toxic garbage island was the best song...they finish up with this one..epic beyond epic...the ending is just really great...props as well to their immaculate crew to keep the machine rolling for these live gems...great visuals..sound perfect...how?? Hard work I would imagine haha

Thx for the list but the 3 song is silvera not stranded i think. Its between heaviest matter and stranded😉
@@davehubi7184 done thanks for letting me know.
Can't copy the description so i have to re-type it
I'll never buy anything from any company that interrupted this with a commercial. 😂 What an amazing show. Love Gojira!
I was getting so annoyed
I was interrupted by a political ad at the start of Stranded, I’ve decided not to vote for them 😤😂 so damn annoying. Gojira kept me from clicking away from this performance
Pretty sure I could listen to this every day and not get sick of it. How is Gojira not talked about more often?
one of the most incredible live performances ive ever seen
I never really gave Gojira much of a chance until now. What in the living hell was I thinking? Excuse me, but I need to go kick my own ass now...
You have permission
Ditto. Found 'em a day ago. Ears are bleeding now. 💀👍
I just gave them my first real listen to yesterday and now I am hooked... What was I doing???
I think Gojira kind of has that effect on people. For me, I wasn't listening to a whole lot of metal from 2008-2013 other than Tool and maybe Deftones who aren't pure metal bands to begin with. Then I started to come back around but thought 'meh, not into them.' The I smacked myself in the face when I came across The Gift of Guilt live at the Brixton Academy and straightened up real fast😄😄... now their one of my favorite metal bands ever. They are so. Fucking. GOOD.
You and me both. Where the hell have I been??
There will never be a better rhythmic breakdown sequence than on Remembrance 37:36
If you ever get the chance to see them live, GO!
This is why Gojira is one of the best metal bands on the planet.
Joe's vocals sound amazing
Never gave Gojira a chance (for wtv reason). I'm only 25 minutes in and it sounds like I've been missing out on a lot great riffing. These guys kick ass.
This needs to be released on vinyl and all other formats.
That Rememberance outro is just such a gem.. On this perfect mix it's bliss
When Live is more powerful than Recording...
Only Gojira. .\m/
That one time Gojira played at Helm's Deep
You sort of expect the horn to blow and the Rohirims to charge any moment
A man of culture.
😅😅😅spot on
My first listening of Gojira. I must to say that the rythm section (drumm anda bass) is one of the best combinations ive heard in metal. Guitars, nothing to say, very good too.
The mountains and the forest in the back is one of the most metal backdrops IMO
What a performance
What a beautiful crowd
What an amazing venue
My spirit soaring
I am french,and had never heard about them before the Olympic games….
Shame on me!
I have watched this video maybe 10 times since.
It is a beautifull place for such a concert
I wa at this show.. Probably the best show I've ever been too especially with Opeth headlining! So epic!
Opeth live is amazing.
By the time Opeth came on it was so freakin cold! That was my 1st show at Red Rocks and it was incredible.
doesnt it suck having to be on slopes and rocking out? look tough not being able to just move around and dance and mosh
But I'll bet Opeth was sweating a wee bit having to come out and follow THIS
Wait someone had to follow this!? Yikes
This band's vibe is about 100x bigger live than on recording. I never really got the hype around them until I started watching live videos. Arguably the most entertaining and organic metal drummer since Danny Carey.
organic is a great word to describe him. He has the groove, the pocket, the chops, the technique. I mean, his way of writing drums is from another world
@@NoisieBastrdd "Another World" ! haha
Welcome new fans, real fans been rocking em for years knowing how good they are....
The look on peoples faces, like they cannot believe what they are witnessing. Magnifique
Gojira raise the bar so far. Best metal in ages. Ripping music, messages that matter and they f$%#^ing shred live. 🤘
Indeed they do
This just might be the best video on TH-cam.......
One of the best shows I have ever seen. Mario is the God of Drums.
They must've hired Meshuggah's light guy for the outro at 37:40
This is the most breathtaking performance I have ever listened to. Holy shit, Pray, The Cell, and L’enfant Sauvage bring tears to my eyes! This band holds a very special place in my heart. Thank you for posting!
One of the best drummers of all time
This performance is proof that magma deserves to be up there with their other albums
And to think, they were the 2nd band THIS night. Opeth Came on after this and before Gojira, David Townsend!!
I found these guys after the Olympic opening thing. Never had heard of them before that but now I fucking love these guys!
As a filmmaker im so heavily in love with the camerawork and the grading here, its brilliant like a concert-movie
I wish the cuts lasted longer than 0.45 seconds. These quick cuts give me ADHD. At least give us 5 seconds on a shot, allow us to be present and experience the scene for more than a heartbeat.
@@michaelbogutzki4623 this was a thing many people criticised about the Rammstein: Paris film, edited by Jonas Åckerlund, it was also cutted in a very high frequency cause it was the directors idea of how to translate the feeling of a Liveshow, where so much happens that u cant watch everything at ones, into a movie.
Here interesingly the high frequency didnt jump into my eyes right away like in the movie I just mentioned, but I see what u mean, nevertheless I was very pleased bu the camerawork and the colours and so on😊
Mate these wide shots and handheld shots are second to none. I'm absolutely in love with how it was directed
incroyables petits français qui sont parti distribuer les grosses claque à travers le monde!!! merci à eux!!! en plus ils sont humbles ils ne ressemblent pas à des stars, BRAVO!
Pourquoi "petits"? Sont pas petits du tout, tu le dis toi même, et tu as raison, ils "distribuent des grosses claques à travers le monde". Complexe d'infériorité peut être?
Gojira is the first band I've gotten into this heavy since the days of Metallica, Megadeth and Sepultura. I mean they are on a non-stop revolving playlist,i just cant stop. This is exactly what the next generation of metal should sound like. The influence of previous mentioned band is clearly audible in their music yet they sound nothing like them. The riffs are just so fresh and heavy, so aggressive yet musical, the drums are so fucking good, the bass hard hitting. The vocals diverse with lyrical content so befitting the times.
I kind of miss the awesome guitarsolo sometimes but the breakdowns , switch ups and outro's are so damn hard hitting you don't even notice they hardly play solo's. I guess I also really like its a band where the singer is also the rhythm guitar player like previous mentioned bands. Plays so fucking tight! They are just great, love their evolution in albums where you can hear they don't just keep playing the same old stuff like a one trick pony but age and grow up and play the music they want to instead of just pleasing a hardcore fanbase.
If you dont know them than check out Orbit Culture
I definitely hear Morbid Angel riffs. As in ”what Morbid Angel would die to sound like”. Metal masterclass!
Me too, just found them this year and I'm totally sold!!!!!
Effin badass. Drummer holds it down just to bust a solo mid-gig. Hails 🤘
I was there. The video reminds me of why I came. The band holds the heart and all who relate were there as well. We shared the moment.
Mario is one of the most technically insane drummers out there today.(period)
Literally started crying at the end of Pray, it’s my dream to see that live!
This is one of the most powerful shows I've ever seen. Wish I could have been there.
The first time I heard these guys was live opening for Mastodon back in maybe '13 or '14. My brain nearly exploded. Became an instant huge fan. I love everything about them and what they're about and this performance is a masterpiece. Flawless production AND execution!!
I loved this band before Olympics, thanks to my brother i knew them about 10 years before
The power of the drop in Flying Whales is serious goosebumps shit!!🤘🤘
Thank you so much for this. I may have been tripping my face off on acid, but this was easily the best show I've ever attended. The visual elements blended in perfectly with the venue in a way that I don't think I've experienced before or since
"the acid helps"
Next time watch between the buried and me colors live. I watched that on acid and man, it's a wild trip lol
@@insertmetalusernamehere I was actually at the Red Rocks show dosed up lol, and last time BTBAM came thru I was as well 😂 can’t wait for the tour coming up
@@eeveewonder I love gojira and I love some acid, but mixing them is quite the intense move
Oh my god you lived my dream, probably in the top 10 best experiences of your life I bet. Damn man I’m extremely jealous.
