-I wanna crush people...
Joe Duplantier, 2017.
Je veux écraser des gens....
Complete quote : "DON'T WORRY (!) I want to crush people"
would be a good death
hei man thats why the band is called Gojira aka Godzilla
Eddie Van Halen, still contributing to great guitar everywhere.
David Campbell I love his guitars too. I have an EVH Wolfgang and it is my main guitar. So easy and comfortable to play right out of the box. It didn’t have the uncomfortably high frets of a new guitar. Definitely recommend one.
RIP
didn't he specify the price point too so it's really affordable for the 50w? not cheap but also not Diezel VH4 prices.
@@MaestroJericho not a big fan of fender but they made an amp i think will go on to be one of the long running classics, there's amps I like a bit more but they're thousands more than the 50w, hit waaayy above its price point imo once its really dialed in
the "clean" channel alone is crazy with the gain pumped, gets really large bluesy tone and great clean with the git volume rolled back,, that alone would make a great amp, 3rd channel needed some work but after adding a 12au7 in place of the first 12ax7 in the channel, knocking the presence and gain lower, gave it a good bias and lowered some high mids and a bump in low mids with an eq pedal, it slaps, there's times I hear it just practicing or in a recording and am still surprised at how nice it sounds rich smooth complex but can still roar, took some experimenting and tinkering but damn I could gush about that amp for awhile obv lol
❤ Eddie Van Halen
"It's not like axe FX or digital... it's the real deal." 4 years later Neural DSP get Archetype: Gojira out and it sounds just like the real deal. Good job.
They just toured with Metallica who were using Axe Fx!
digital in recording studio albums you can almost always tell it's digital if you've been around real and digital sound. Digital will always be inferior, but not terrible.
Based on this amp too
@@borges3099 I usually agree, but I really can’t tell the difference when it comes to the Archetype.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 I can.. Digital sounds super tinny and feels like the guitars are missing something everytime.
I WANT TO CRUSH PEOPLE :D
That was the best! lol So humble about it! :D
Lol hes playing fade to black its known they love metallica
Well if it wasn't known, it is now.
who dont like metallica?
venrakdrake its To live is to die the song that he plays.. =)
venrakdrake quite a few mannerisms and outfit details inspired by metallica too... (are you alive??)
Shit, who doesn't/didn't? I'm pretty sure anyone who is into metal has a special place in their heart for old Metallica.
Dang his english is really good.
His mom was American, and also, Joe’s accent isn’t as thick as the normal French accent. Plus, he has lived in New York since the past decade, and still resides there.
Check out Opeth. Mikael Akerfeldt is Swedish, still lives in Sweden, amazing English. Listen to his singing cleans on Ghost of Perdition are amazing. Cant tell hes Swedish.
Michael Czesnozki true, most Swedish people usually learn English in school at a young age if I’m correct
@@nostalgicmind3432 yes they do! Surprisingly, they like talking in English. Swedes are very fluent in English, even listening to him talk live, he has an accent, but that's it.
I am French and when I speak English people told me I got a Spanish accent.. Never spoke Spanish in my life lmao
Joe is a fresh breath of intelligence and humble appearance in the often too cocky world of Metal.
5:12 joe duplantier playing Fade to Black, amazing, love to see it
Two of my favorite bands in one is amazing
Paraphrasing: ‘If there’s a mistake on the album, you can hear it for the human aspect....’ Gojira makes no mistakes, magma was beautiful
Nathan Thompson yeah but that isn’t saying much about a band with such a good discography.
Roy McMahan according to you? Lol fuck off casual
Lol. "except the gain. crank it up."
ALL THE GAIN ! NO MIDS ! METALZONE ! MORE GAIN !
@@KurayameDark SLAYYYEEERRR
@@KurayameDark ALL KNOBS UP!!! MIDS DOWN!!! SMALL COMBO AMP!!!

THIS is the way you sell amps. Already hooked
The most beautiful thing in metal musicians is when they on the stage, they agressive and brutal but in conversation they so nice and positive.
Exactly! People always think they are crazy MFs Bc of how aggressive the music is but most of them are some of the nicest people you’ll meet
This amp sounds fantastic and I swear by it. However, it ultimately lies in the hands that play the instrument. I'm positive that Joe chose the 5150IIIs because it gave the most honest representation of what his hands were delivering. He's a vastly underrated guitarist because he's also the lead vocalist. So really, it's the perfect combination for him.
craig locicero These guys are awesom. One of the best metal bands in years, imo
Who's underrating him?
YS TR nothing complex? They have plenty of timing technical riffs, nonsense
His playing and riffs only seem simplistic. There not! All kinds of wild shit going on throughout their songs. Yet anyone can learn their riffs. Timing is a little odd at times...and Mario....😳...... when you got feet like that moving behind you.... YOU GET TO CRUSH PEOPLE!
I got a 6150+ shit is unstoppable. So boss
Gojira has one of the most powerful and clean sound and now i know why. Fantastic band.
"You just put everything at noon. Except the gain, crank it up" that's what i like to hear
Love how he plays Metallica. Like just straight up "yeah this is what got me into it"
My new favorite band. I just bought all their CDs the other day...see u in Brooklyn next month
Mini Surf Good job
Mini Surf I was there.
*I want to crush people* "Joe Duplantier"
I love his vocals. But once he started playing Metallica I loved him as a person.
I wish James Hetfield would use the EVH amp and not the Axe-Fx that sounds like squishy chewing gum.
I second that. Their tone nowadays is so sterile compared to the one they had in the late 80's - early 90's
He still uses tube amps (I believe Diezel) in studio.
Fuck fake amps.
SuperJiggawhat fuck you
they use amps in the studio and I highly highly highly highly doubt anyone would notice if it's a real amp or an axe fx from the PA system around a crowd of 50k people.
I totally respect what he's talking about in reference to his production choices such as trying to get a more dynamic sound rather than the crushing wall of sound and the more "human" apect comes in, but damn....
... I wanna get crushed with a wall like the first time I listened to From Mars to Sirius.
"The human aspect is more present on this record..." God I wish more modern bands would heed this advice, being ultra-tight and mechanical makes you boring.
I love this guy. Can listen to him play that amp all day
5:49 this is the greatest music lesson you'll ever learn in your lifetime. Ever. #nomids
Maybe for bedroom playing. On live settings it's usually needed to crank them up a bit if you want your guitar to actually be heard, a live guitar with no mids sounds like a frightened cat being showered with cold water
@@mrporcupine4140 a frightened cat being showered?!😂😂
@mrporcupine is right but wrong in this instance, the evh 5150iii and the Peavey 6505 just seem to have this extraordinary midrange where they just break through the live mix even when scooped, sylosis' new album is all done on the crunch channel with no mids and it sounds full as hell
That Fade in Black sequence, damn..
ayygurl It's Fade FROM black
The Marauder smh...
@@nonpoint666rocks I could've sworn it was fade out of black.
I thought it was back in black?
@@wadecarefully I thought it was blackened
We got a brand new EVH 5150 IIIS with the matching 2x12 EVH cab into the shop I work in. Fuck me silly, that thing is such a killer amp. The best amp by far we carry is the Friedman BE100 and we have an order for a couple of the Butterslax (Bill Kelliher sig model) and those have a backlog. This EVH 5150 IIIs has now taken the top honors in our amp room, and that is not an easy throne to claim. We shut down for the night I plugged it into the Friedman 4x12 cab we have. I had it up to 7 on the volume and we set off the alarm in the Chinese restaurant next door. We have never had an amp do that, and we have sold the Slash head and the YJM head from Marshall. And it sounds like an afterburner on an F-14 Tomcat. We sold it yesterday and are trying to get a few more. Badass as all hell!
How do you know what the afterburner on an F-14 sounds like?
@@FEAROWNAGE Top Gun
I could listen to him talk about guitar gear all day long
Not enough ppl thank Eddie Van Halen for guitar tone, Evh and Peavy 5150/ 6505
When ever someone is saying they don't love or like Gojira.... they must be trolling themselves or others.... if you like metal or not.... Gojira brings so much more to the table then "just" metal
Great Band, and Great Amplifiers. 🤘...
Unique sound style of the band ... Emblematic and highly recognizable. These are the things that make them iconic ...
He gets a killer sound. I really REALLY love my EVH. But my one and only (AND stupid) gripe is that the power switches are on the back. It's a silly gripe, but when your amp is against the wall at home, it's a squeeze to turn the thing on :(
Joe Oliver I agree, shit drives me crazy
Joe Oliver it is annoying but once you have kids it's nice👍 I never have to worry about my kids flipping my amp on and off.
you could always tie some kind of string like a shoestring to it and just pull on that to turn it on, you'd have to get up to turn it back off, but at that point you'll be done playing and probably going to get up to do something else
just drape the string over the top of the amp towards the front and it'll act as a pulley with the back edge of the amp as a fulcrum
Joe Oliver The resonance knob being on the back us weird too
no its not weird..i hate that also at my lbx but those guys just wanted to keep that amp small.
they should build it a bit larger and putt all the back switches at front.
its really annoying
It's Joe-gear-a
Seen these guys twice in 5 years. He ain't.kidding. Those amps are on stage and sound brutal.🤘
video disliked, came here explecting to see hoe duplantier jump head first into a load of evh amps not hear him talk about some great amps.
I am disappointed.
English may not be your first language but.... what?
its says "his amps"
almost all he uses is the stealth and 5150 iii
Goire Garaat Ask for a refund
You've just painted a very surreal picture in my head... thanks, lol! :p
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 those are his amps... Jesus lol
Nice! Very interesting and I'm not even into the band! Maybe I'll give them a try now. I wish you guys would put out more el34 vids! I'd love to hear it dialed to a brown sound/hard rock type of setting.
You should definitely give them a try. IMO the most mindblowing band of this era
AaronBigsby Please do, the original sound is even better!
So did you listen to these guys or what?!?
That pinch harmonic riff from magma is so sweet.
Sometimes I wish I was born in France, or Germany, or anywhere in Europe due to the fact
they all learn English early.. I was surprised how well Joe's english is.
And his metal voice is amazing. He can "scream" at speaking volume in a small room, and its not
"loud", just powerful.
bjjbrawler1 i come from Belgium, i'm 17 and i've learned english for 5 years
Believe me, the English level in France is waaaaaay worse than Joe’s...
victor13165 Joe is the only french who speaks english fluently
Linkinbizkit 2001 pretty accurate 😂
Yeah I'm sorry to disappoint you about French learning skills concerning languages.. but Joe's mother was American and he lived few years in the US. French people are not so good with learning new languages because school methodologies are awful here, I learnt way more by watching movies in English than by staying in a English classroom, although I had to during almost 14 years now
Glad he's using the EL34 version as the 6l6 version can be wayyyy too hairy at times....
He uses the 6L6 stealth live. Not the EL34S. A friend of mine was working backstage at Dynamo Metal Fest last weekend.
MrKrankKopf eh I still like the el34 version better. when I was at namm I played Christians Jackson custom shop through both amps and the el34 variant has much better articulation and overall response as opposed to its 6l6 brother. but both very gainy amps....almost too much at Times.
They're very gainy. I use my stealth's red channel as rythm and the blue for leads. red channel's gain at just a tad higher than a quarter and the blue at 6 or 7. I get the articulation I want. Tried out the EL34 a couple of times in the shop but didn't like it as much as the 6L6. I'd still take it if I had to choose between this and an ENGL :p
You can try KT77's, they'll bias in either EL34 or 6L6 sockets and are a good middle ground. I like them better in some amps (Like a 101B or an HK Triamp). No experience with them in the 5150iii though.
Sure they'll bias, but if you put KT77s in the 6L6 amp you'll draw too much heater current and you'll eventually trip the thermal switch in the power transformer which will mean replacing the transformer and you'll lose your warranty in the process (5150iii).
I love the fact that there's just one of each guitars at a time on the record. Still works as a wall of sound. A lot of people over-layer and over-correct, to my taste anyhow. I wouldn't want a denser mix, really. It's also encouraging. Don't have to do a gazillion guitar tracks to sound relevant.
6:00 by putting these settings at noon. I like the way he says that instead of "half way".
Yeah, i believe in French he would have said "midi" (noon) rather than "douze heures" (12 o'clock).... Nobody says "douze heures" in spoken French (like EVER).. So..
Can Gojira freaking headline in the US. They are not a support band. They might be the greatest live band I’ve ever seen
Magma is no doubt the best album that came out...it's beautiful and powerful
Pugsley tattoos from Mars to Sirius was sick too tho, and all their albums in fact
Terra Incógnita!
best? nah..the way of all flesh and from mars to sirius are probably top
My grandma always pronounces "three"as "sree", it's the French accent.
I think I’m way too old for this trip, at least for conventional people but truly, JOE is a leaving ICON of mine. I stumbled upon a live performance of them by accident, but I was immediately hooked. Magnificent BAND !! Exciting to watch. Totally committed to their craft, like they have no life outside their music. They look totally genuine metal beasts. Joe is the soul of Gojira, without a doubt, and the rest of the band his devoted hitmen. Joe takes a piece of dust and makes pure inventive raw diamonds out of it. There is no song of them that doesn’t bring me joy. I’m glad to have lived old enough to taste great passion again. Long live Gojira ! 👀👽😜
EVH should add a power scaling with the heads just like combos. It will fly off the shelves before you can count to 10.
Yes you can play with everything at 12 on this thing and it's great. A dream.
8:05 exactly how i feel about my peavey 5150 that i got
Peavey 5150 Sa mokin Tone...
FENDER OR PEAVEY???????????
Nice to see a modern metal band using six string guitars and only tuning down a step or drop C. Sounds so much heavier and punchier than that sluggish 7, 8, and 9 string bullshit.
Hey seven strings are badass I’ve never played an 8 or a 9 but sevens are badass
@Noim
The low tuned-guitar thing is played out for me. It was alright when Korn started doing it back in the mid 90's, but I'm over it.
Stephen Carpenter is the one exception. Despite using 7/8 (now 9) string guitars, he manages to use them tastefully and keep his low-end tight. Everyone else seems to try to get them to sound like fart boxes.
@@WarmothGuitarist hell you do you I like fucking surf board necks you obviously don’t
too bad ye never talks about speakers and what was used in fr mars to sirius
Joe seems like a super nice guy. One of my fav bands also.
Don't get me wrong I wanna crush people
Duplantier playing Metallica is ironic.
Gojira literally is the modern metallica
That's a good thing, considering Metallica hasn't had a decent album in over thirty years.
Is he using Duncan Designed pickups in his guitar? If he is, just goes to show all the tone chasers paying exorbitant prices for boutique pickups are wasting their money.
yeah there's footage of him live using this guitar.
egregion it’s true . Emg HZ sound fucking great to me but they get so much bad rep for being passive .
egregion lower output pickups sometimes give better chunk. the custom sh5 also is a great one. higher output pups tend to bloom allot and tend to get muddy on higher gain channel. thats why people use active pickups for the hot stuff allot of the times, they make up with a build in preamp for the loss of highs with allot of really hot pups.
Yeah, that's the cheaper version of his signature
WeAlmostDied He has Charvel designed pups on the USA sig
I saw Gojira last year, about exactly a year ago. I mainly went for the support band which was more of a post-hardcore/punk band (odd choice as Gojira opener) and my friend and I were blown away by their massive, gigantic sound. They sounded so fucking good, it might have been my favorite show, soundwise. We stood fairly in the back so no pits or WoDs to add to the experience. And their drummer! Holy fucking shitballs! His legs are like triggers from a machine gun. So accurate and never sloppy. Crazy talented band overall and great live show.
Awsome video and great band. I have the 50 watt version and sounds amazing. I could only imagine what this beast sounds like playing through it.
LOVE these amps!!! EVH GEAR is the BEST!!!!
If I ever buy a tele style guitar, it's gonna be that one. Nice modern and sleek take on that body style. White with black binding, blank ebony fretboard, matching headstock, H-H pickup config, wheel style trussrod access(every guitar should have this), compound radius fretboard, locking tuners, 1 volume/no tone and the volume pot is well out of the way, and it's a hardtail. What's not to love? Those are pretty much my ideal features when spec'ing out a guitar. The only thing I would've done differently is gone with a plate style bridge(hipshot style) compared to the Tune O Matic style. Only because I prefer how my wrist sits on that type of bridge compared to a ToM bridge, but that's splitting hairs since I own guitars with both styles of bridges and can play both fine.
Just looked the guitar up on the Charvel website and it only retails for $599? Pretty good deal for those specs, but this is 3 years after the fact and I have no idea when this guitar came to market. Oddly enough I stumbled onto this video because of the EVH heads, but now I'm gassing for that guitar. Great.
3:33 "I was really uuhm, pumped" ... missed opportunity to say amped
Hell fucking yea! Love those evh iii el34 !
He's using the blue channel! I've read on so many pages that people think it's a muddy channel. It's crunchy and heavy, sounds so damn good. I think most people's ears are just broken from using Metal Zones and shit. This amp is perfect, like a 6505 and a JCM800 in the same box.
he's using the red channel
@@TheEpicLinkFreeman 0:09
He use them both on this video
I love the white ASAT. Beautiful guitar.
Using low wattage "lunch box" amps when playing stadium gigs only proves that they are more than worthy to play club gigs with!
Fade to black at 5:11. Been my favorite song for years now.
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah ! The Beatles should have used the EVH Stealth ! HAW ! ...um...NO ....yet I myself would like an EVH Stealth ! Thanks Joe & EVH !
Axe fx and " virtual sounds" took some hard hits here lmao
_Man. This was the one of few videos that sold me on the EVH 5150 iii but the 6L6 version. 🏆 I just get it was tighter with the low end and can be made to sound better depending on which pedal you used as a clean boost._
I just got an EVH 5150 III stealth 50 watt yesterday and I can confirm it is an absolutely crushing amp. I have 3 other heads including a Marshall DSL 100 and I run an overdrive in front of them to boost the dirty channel. The EVH doesn't need a boost whatsoever, it is an acredible amp.
EL34 power tubes people, that's what it's all about
he doesn't
Luke Riffs You're goddamn right. EL34s are ridiculously versatile!
EVH should add a power scaling with the heads just like combos. It will fly off the shelves before you can count to 10.
Brown Edward Smith Kimberly Taylor Shirley
If you can tell the difference between a Kemper with a good EVH profile & an actual EVH in a live venue, I'll give you the golden ear award.
On peut tout de même admirer toute la complexité des riffs de Gojira... x)
I just stole the soul from my buddy's EVH the other night ITS in my kimper now😅 .great amp
Hey Joe what speakers are you using?? I have the 5153 50 watt with the 5153 4x12 cab. Stock speakers.
That cab sounds horrible though. Shrill broken glass and no mids.
This is the answer why I love EVH amp... GOJIRA !!!
Biggest issue is ..how to afford it.
I love this entire band so god damn much. It’s unhealthy how much I love them, to a possibly homosexual extent.
Doesn't get any better than Gojira! \m/
Damn, I'd love to have an amp that brutal
god i love my EVH 5150 III. @Symmetrical Defiance
Keep it simple...tube amps rule...no big mystery 🤘
My guitar tech is touching the resonance behind. Lol🤣🤣
And they really attracted my attention from first seconds on stage (first time I heard them was live in 2019 in NY) - very good music.
Joe is one of my favorite frontman guitar players in all of metal.I like his style.
Same here. His stage presence is very different than usual metal frontmen. That Telecaster shaped guitar crowns it all.
Activad los subtitulos del video.Media poblacion mundial por encima de los 40 años no hablamos ni entendemos el ingles,y eso es algo que todo el mundo sabe
In France, I’m pretty sure their language classes are really important. That would explain why his English is so good. In my German class, our teacher told us that they take learning languages very seriously in Europe.
Not at all in fact.. (I am a native French)
Most of us can't even understand English except some few words or some people like Joe
What amps did they use before 5150?
rectifiers
if cant aford it, get a Tonex, really close, love it
Gojira is the best music for the gym.
This is the main reason I bought my EVHIII
Gojira is badass, great band! Peavey designed it. It's the 6505 now, Eddie took the 5150 name with him when he left Peavey to start up his own company and makes clones of that orginal amp for his EVH brand.
they're pretty much different tones at this point between the 6505 and the 5150. The original block 5150 is very scooped compared to the Chinese ones now. Ryan Bruce did a comparison video on all the main 6505s.
Was he playing fade to black?
I appreciate that he uses one of his cheaper guitars live, not many musicians will use their cheaper affordable signature on stage. It sounds great too!
Wonder if they use modeling now 😊
Cool to hear 'm play that Metallica song
What is the best 4x12 for the 50w amp if you are playing metal. I know he is using the matching cab but would something with a V30 be better?
personally I prefer greenbacks for metal/heavy music. the way thy break up is glorious
I wish they would make an EVH rackmountable preamp....that would be awesome!
