Saw then live on a knotfest and i was crying the entire time they played, i was in nirvana just letting my feelings go wild, i just recently lost someone close to me, my friend asked me on his death bed to play this song minutes before he left us, he was with us and then the solo came, and he was no longer there, he went with the whales of the cosmos, and everytime i listen to this he this he is here teaching the beauty of life, its a small fragment of live i cant never let go, everytime this come on my playlist i can only crie to express my love for him, my friend is not here, but his love is with me. Long live him!!!!
I can only imagine what the last four minutes must have been like live... That heavy ass riff turning your brain into jelly and Mario's relentless double bass pounding in your chest like a jackhammer
The last section of the song is amazing. The way its designed the vocalist has the freedom to insert the vocals when he wants because the rest of the band is essentially looping over and over. At the end he motions to the drummer to end the song. At this point the control is with the drummer. The filler the drummer adds at the end signals to the other band members the timing to stop.
This version is so much better than the studio version. The bit in the ambient interlude at 5:10 with Joe screaming along with the droning tremolo picked guitar and cymbal swells is just so much more bone-chilling and ominous than the build up to the outro on the album. It evokes the emotions of terror and awe that one would probably experience in witnessing some kind of lovecraftian behemoth rising from underneath the waves of the ocean (which is fitting considering, you know, they are called Gojira).
There are just so many bands nowadays, so many sub-genres.. Most are good. Less are great. These guys are not copycats. You can see their passion and their authenticity in their eyes. They command my respect. Real artists. Total professionals. I'm even more impressed that this band comes from France. I'm a fan from now on.
ER nurse here. This song got me through the past two years of the pandemic which still continues. I’m tired of filling body bags. Fuck covid and thank you Gojira.
I remember in 2012 when they first played in Australia for Soundwave festival, In Adelaide they had a signing tent I didn't know about. I was inconspicuously walking passed, dressed in my Chris Fehn #3 jumpsuit and mask, when I noticed in excitement and eagerness to come face to face (sort of) with my favorite band. Possessed, I ran toward them (there was no line) I jumped and screamed with love and admiration, reaching over the signing table and hugging and laughing with them as I got to my hands and knees and bowed in a tongue in cheek manner. They equally met my energy and laughed and smiled as I shook their hands and hugged them telling them how appreciative I am of their music. 9 years later I can safely say that nothing has changed. Gojira, something truly profound and meaningful about your music impacts me whenever I listen to it. Thank you for existing in my lifetime, thank you for your hard work and creativity. Much Love always
Wow your comment is very real and heartfelt. Lovely. I discovered them just some months ago and I'm starting feeling so fond of their music that I'm scared. Ahaha
Thank you Gojira for helping me cope with loneliness. Whenever I feel sad and empty I bike around the forest and listen to your albums - I instantly feel better. Can't wait to see you this winter in Holland
That very day Rock music bent his knee on front of new masters... Am I the only one watching this frenetically and liking every comment ? I don’t think so. Thank you so much for this Gojira, I listen to Rock and Metal music for 30 years and nothing can compare to this. You really opened a gate to (our personal) Hell that evening , and that’s what Rock is all about. Thanks for summoning these monsters we are.
A deep voice is rising From the heart of the mountain Vibrations of the stone I can hear in my heart The call of instinct The flight of the powerful I hunger for it It just keeps me alive I met the dragon In a cave by the mountain Now I bring the evidence The beast is alive This ageless army Will strike in the morning And then a star will rise And shine in the sky But I grow impatient Cannot stand the wait And I start to dig Within me This tunnel to I In this region of me A great dragon is lying On the wealth of a mighty world My own world inside I saw I saw monsters And I And I started to dig within When I When I turn my back on them They devour me In this region of me A dragon is lying there Awake Monster Monsters kings Do not scorn them But do not fear them Muster Muster thy army Dragons are the myth alive In the heart of men
This is perfection. Every Gojira Song has a point where i honestly think we dont deserve them. I am thankful every day that we can take mind journeys by them.
Gojira... The only band to give more than they receive! Giving 200% at aver performance!!! I smile Every time I watch them live! Im old and broken. Every show I've seen them, I was in the pit the entire show. Thank you Gojira for the amazing performances you keep giving us year after year! Please, Never Stop!! \m/ \m/
The double bass is hypnotic, I use this when mediating... And it's true after every metal song you feel super energetic. But gojira is enlightening. I can't explain what this band is anymore it's not just metal like I cant describe it. I freeze up watching them, I don't wanna headbang just listen to this incredible masterpiece
Gojira is truly one of the best metal bands curremtly... i have seen them perform 6 times... never disappointed..received a guitar pick ever time and a drum stick once!!!
i don't know why, but it make like 15 min's that i listend to gojira, and i can't stop crying. how can the entire discography of a band hit the soul this hard.... merci les mecs, j'vous aime les duplantier, christian et jean-michel.
The is the realest fucking music ever recorded you can feel the blood sweat and tears this is the sound of the human experience and the way all the people are gathered this is humanity telling the void to come and get us
This is the song that got me into Gojira, and is my favorite from them. Excellent band, with an excellent sound. Very underrated band that deserves much more recognition.
found this band two weeks ago and im just blown away. the last time i had this feeling was in 1994 when i heard metallica for the first time in the thing that should not be. what a band gojira is. their songs take you to a very different place from this world.
it's kinda sad that its was a slow progression to fame , because their prime was around 2009 when they were in their 30's , but at the same , it's well deserved , i know their journey , and they worked like to crazy to be where they are today
7 days of GOJIRA And I am in love with them They are motivation It's not only about music. But for Everything Such level requires a lot lot and hell lot of consistent home work . .
Saw then live on a knotfest and i was crying the entire time they played, i was in nirvana just letting my feelings go wild, i just recently lost someone close to me, my friend asked me on his death bed to play this song minutes before he left us, he was with us and then the solo came, and he was no longer there, he went with the whales of the cosmos, and everytime i listen to this he this he is here teaching the beauty of life, its a small fragment of live i cant never let go, everytime this come on my playlist i can only crie to express my love for him, my friend is not here, but his love is with me. Long live him!!!!
i think gojira is one of the only bands that can play the same riff for 4 minutes straight and have it get better and better until it ends
5.09 the earth stopped... and every living creature turned their heads and said 'what the fuck was that' fucking awesome
I can only imagine what the last four minutes must have been like live... That heavy ass riff turning your brain into jelly and Mario's relentless double bass pounding in your chest like a jackhammer
This is the single most powerful performance I have ever seen.... EVER.

Makes the transition a lot smoother too. In the album version it just suddenly stops and then starts again as if the song had changed, it’s jarring.
Yea I usually don't like live versions but this blew my mind away
It’s like he’s marching an army into battle . Fucking incredible
@@XtremeKillah101 exactly!
You know it's heavy when you see a clown in the mosh pit!!
That Motherfucker is a machine on drums
3:30 Jean-Michel and Christian headbanging so hard they rock the stage
No matter where you are, what you're doing, you are *never* having as much fun as Jean-Michel
F*cking Mario just snapping those kicks for like 4 minutes without a skipped beat. Jesus, that lad.

Underrated Comment and truth about reality.
Thank you for your hard work and wish you all the good things .
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I hope you are doing well! ♥️
Truly one of the best live performances ever.
I wish there was speakers the size of planets forcing everyone on earth to listen to this once a day until the end of time
Storm10112 TH-cam Thuleanperspective ;)
@@meansofexistence2157 fuck off.
best comment ever written
I can’t go a month without listening to this
That snare hits harder than my dad
not only their drummer is a monster. their guitarist is Aragorn from lotr
Adrian Tomo TH-cam Thuleanperspective...
@@meansofexistence2157 oh no
Almost 9 nine years later and still one the most greatest performances ever. You can feel the energy
This live feels like they are opening the 6th dimension, with the dragon dwelling there
If you're not sitting here watching this a smile on your face, what are you doing with your life? 😊
This, is how black holes are made.
This is so good it's disgusting. One of the best live performances I've ever heard. So. Fucking. Heavy.
8:30 when Joe says ''no'' ain't no Devil gonna argue......

All I can say is " well said my friend"
Hail Mighty Gojira!
This and Ocean Planet make me feel so happy, I can't help but smiling when listening to them
That whole album 🙏
Let’s be honest here. This isn’t your first time watching this video.
This can make any man ready to storm the beach of Normandy. BRUTAL performance
Thank you Gojira for helping me cope with loneliness. Whenever I feel sad and empty I bike around the forest and listen to your albums - I instantly feel better. Can't wait to see you this winter in Holland
At least you have forest near by. Try running through it barefoot
That riff at the end of the song I could hear for my entire life and never get bored of it .
They don't call him Super Mario for nothing.
That very day Rock music bent his knee on front of new masters... Am I the only one watching this frenetically and liking every comment ? I don’t think so.

Fuck Yes! Summoning Monsters! The words I was looking for when trying to describe wtf just happened!
look at the cameraman at 2:10 .even he shaking his legs cause of their brutality. SICK !
HAHAHAHAAHAHA
SO THATS WHY IT LOOKS LIKE JEAN- MICHAEL IS MOVING THE EARTH WITH HIS HEADBANGING 💀💀💀
A deep voice is rising
From the heart of the mountain
Vibrations of the stone
I can hear in my heart
The call of instinct
The flight of the powerful
I hunger for it
It just keeps me alive
I met the dragon
In a cave by the mountain
Now I bring the evidence
The beast is alive
This ageless army
Will strike in the morning
And then a star will rise
And shine in the sky
But I grow impatient
Cannot stand the wait
And I start to dig
Within me
This tunnel to I
In this region of me
A great dragon is lying
On the wealth of a mighty world
My own world inside
I saw
I saw monsters
And I
And I started to dig within
When I
When I turn my back on them
They devour me
In this region of me
A dragon is lying there
Awake
Monster
Monsters kings
Do not scorn them
But do not fear them
Muster
Muster thy army
Dragons are the myth alive
In the heart of men
This shit gotta be game of thrones inspired 😂
@@paulfernandez8190 dude, if you think this is GOT you’ve completely missed the intent of this song
@@timg7627 literally went way over his head lol Joe not talking about a litteral dragon its an image lol
This is perfection. Every Gojira Song has a point where i honestly think we dont deserve them. I am thankful every day that we can take mind journeys by them.
Markus Covi TH-cam Thuleanperspective
I have utter respect for this band.
6:51 that smoke is surely being produced by Mario's legs.
Fr hes burning thousands of calories 😭
It's 2023...and I still believe this is the heaviest metal performance heavy metal has ever heavy metaled...
I would put plantera domination live at the same level
I love Gojira, they're one of my top 10 bands. But Primitive Man is one of the heaviest bands on Earth and their live shows are mind melting.
Easily the absolute best live metal performance I've ever seen. EVER.
Gojira... The only band to give more than they receive! Giving 200% at aver performance!!! I smile Every time I watch them live! Im old and broken. Every show I've seen them, I was in the pit the entire show. Thank you Gojira for the amazing performances you keep giving us year after year! Please, Never Stop!! \m/ \m/

I can't explain what this band is anymore it's not just metal like I cant describe it. I freeze up watching them, I don't wanna headbang just listen to this incredible masterpiece
I feel it too
Joe’s vocals are nuts
Gojira is truly one of the best metal bands curremtly... i have seen them perform 6 times... never disappointed..received a guitar pick ever time and a drum stick once!!!
Lol, I love the bassist's impression onstage xd
Brutal and fucking tight this is the best metal band ever live!!
That's a fucking awesome crowd! They started a wall of death without anyone telling them too! They got some MASSIVE pits from HELL.
I'm all for own opinions, but honestly how do you ever thumbs down this
riff so heavy they bending the fabric of space
FUCKING MARIO IS SUCH A DAMN BEAST DURING THIS SHOW!
Mario stands after this. How? No reason he has just a reflex driven by clockwork.
I see what you did there ^^
6:17 to the end of the damn song he keeps that double bass going. Holy shit.
And as always they give me chills.
Usually I have no problem expressing my emotions, but this time... I lack words.
Anthem or a call, that song is primal
5:15 Just when i thought it could be no better, a jolly Ronald McDonald crosses the pit! Awesome performance!
I'm praying I'm lucky enough to see Where Dragons Dwell live, I need to hear "I SAW MONSTEEEERRRRRRS" live at least once
Man they can really groove I feel bad for his vocal cords I really hope you never lose your vocal cords joe
Welp now i gotta change my undies. Thanks a lot, Joe!
I would do so many unholy things to witness this song live in person
I watch this at least a couple of times a month. Every time it just destroys me. So damn good. Master class in dynamics
"I met the dragon in a cave by the mountain"
Favorite line in the song! Long live Gojira!!!
I nearly cried hearing this. Best song ever.
me too
It’s videos like this that make me proud to be a metal head. \m/
lyrically, musically, emotionally, everything about this is so heavy and just beautiful
Those screams, that rythm, those infinite doble pedal at drums...another level.
i don't know why, but it make like 15 min's that i listend to gojira, and i can't stop crying. how can the entire discography of a band hit the soul this hard.... merci les mecs, j'vous aime les duplantier, christian et jean-michel.
Man, this is beyond words. Clearly Gojira is the best of the beast out there.
Sickest metal vocals of all time for me
Fuck, this is gotta be the best video on TH-cam.
Illia K TH-cam Thuleanperspective
They're the happiest looking band. Except poor Mario, he's working! I LOVE these guys they are truly awesome!!!
That is a massive pit.
This performance is up there with Pantera Domination live
The world doesn't deserve Gojira
The heaviest band to grace the Earth
❤
The is the realest fucking music ever recorded you can feel the blood sweat and tears this is the sound of the human experience and the way all the people are gathered this is humanity telling the void to come and get us
I think I was tripping dick when I wrote this lol
that's a wall of death without any orders or words, it shows how powerful the band is
The moment the outro began and he came in with those vocals and that creepy ass riff every hair on my body was turned on
One of the best live performances, better than studio even. Wow the stamina.
TH-cam is getting real brave putting ads in the middle of every video lately
This is the song that got me into Gojira, and is my favorite from them. Excellent band, with an excellent sound. Very underrated band that deserves much more recognition.
I dont even know how many times i ve watched this
That look on Mario’s face in the beginning. Like he knows they are pulling up with this one.
3 people did not hear the call of instinct, nor witness the flight of the powerful
fuckin drummer is doing work
So intense i even shivered!!! 5:09
dragons sure dwell there
10:10 HAHAHA! That dude in the right is like: "Daaamn, if this bitch don't stop now, the universe is going to explode".
How the hell are they opening for Deftones? That doesn't even make sense at all
5:14 I SAW I SAW IT THE CLOWN!!!
this music is beautiful in every way. Its slightly terrifying but absolutely gorgeous at the same time.
Just like a dragon

You're in for a trip. Gojira made me feel what metallica lacked in my favorite albums of theirs :).
it's kinda sad that its was a slow progression to fame , because their prime was around 2009 when they were in their 30's , but at the same , it's well deserved , i know their journey , and they worked like to crazy to be where they are today
Best performance ever in history
Some say Mario's double bass is still going to this very day.
hahaha you made my day reading this XD
the only sad thing about this is realizing that you've actually found the pinnacle of metal
Holy bass drum!!
And baddest guitar riff ever.
He's wacking the shit out of both of them for like 4 minutes.
dude even my metal drummer roommate is gawking at this dude's persistence. talk about skills...
7 days of GOJIRA
And I am in love with them
They are motivation
It's not only about music. But for Everything
Such level requires a lot lot and hell lot of consistent home work . .
Rajeev Dhiman TH-cam Thuleanperspective, bud
this outtro is gold !
This song is just too fucking good
5:20 I JUST GOT A FUCKING BONNER FROM THIS PART
+Michael Barros lmfao what is a bonner
+Kirisute Gomen An erection
I believe that's a boner you're referencing. Still wondering about that bonner though
Dude, the stage is shaking! 😵
