Everybody is talking about Joe and Mario, and I mean, I don't blame them, but boys. Can we all just acknowledge Christian and Jean-Michel too for a minute? They are amazing too.
They are, just wish they would speak more
@@Katuulu I think it has to do with the language barrier. There’s a lot of interviews with them in French, but few English ones
Not only the language barrier, they are quite shy when not on stage... I had the opportunity to work twice on Gojira shows, and I remember the first time (From Mars to Sirius era), they seemed more intimidated than I was ! But they are probably the most humble, kind and human guys I've worked for !
@@guillaumechomienne9136 im sure they are
They should defo interview Christian 😂
Can't tell if he's running late to the meeting because he's French or because he's a guitar player
I'm in this comment and I hate it...
@Derek Frampton aKa 1PaPaD1 Even simpler answer : "Oui"
@@MonsieurKaouwayte Qui.
@@fedora997 Qui Oui ?
@@fedora997 Not 'Qui' but 'Oui' (yes). 'Qui' means 'who' in French :)
Gojira is one and probably the best of the "newer" bands keeping the metal scene alive!
hellz yeah 25 years strong!!!
They aren't that 'new'. They formed in the mid 90s.
Agreed :)
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT That's still not exactly new is it. Look, my point is that if you really want to hype up the 'new generation' of metal bands you're going to have to find bands that formed/found their sound in the 2010s, calling anything before that 'new' is like calling metalcore or nu metal 'new'.
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT 'Real' doesn't mean first. Honestly I don't even understand why we're arguing about this. Ig my reasoning is that you and many others are basically turning a blind eye to a certain era, acting like a relatively old band like Gojira is the next big thing and blinding yourself to the fact that this genre needs an actual future. I'm certainly reading more into everything than there actually is lol, but probably because this is something i have become frustrated with recently in the metal community. Sorry for the overreaction, hope you have a good rest of your day lol.
Today is 20th anniversary of Terra Incognita. Gojira's debut album. This band is so crazy awesome.
Fucking sick album too.
@@suylyath2658 I've been listen to it every month since 2001.
They’re #3 in my top 10.
@@OnceNate Hell yes. Amazing band.
They could rerecord/remaster that album and it would still be fresh and groundbreaking
I am disabled, in a wheelchair and absolute agony with spine disease and I have maybe a year left. I discovered Gorija a year ago and weirdly I can really relate to a lot of the songs, though obviously not about me personally. The emotion in the music really clicks with me and helps ME cope with my situation. The frustration, anger, upset and pain of my condition and how it affects my family...I have a wife and young children and not being around is understandably a problem for me to process. Gojira helps me a lot from a cathartic point of view and I find the music highly motivational. I wish I could speak to the band to thank them...they didn’t write their music for me, but it feels like it. Much love Joe and the guys, xx
I don't even know you, but I wish that somehow you'll get through this.. just somehow
I am glad that you could find this band and really happy that their music helps you so much.
I hope the best for you and your family through these difficult times.
Wow, very sorry to hear about your situation. I'm glad you get something out of their music, but considering that you follow some of the most hateful, racist, and misogynistic rhetoric-spewing figures on RUclips... I can't help but think you're not getting the actual messages that Gojira are trying to impart.
Given what your comment was about, I wasn't going to say anything, but the dissonance is too much.
Damn man. I send you a pocket full of strenght. If you really have one year, blast that year out dude. Whatever happens its your year
@@ghostnote1678 I am open minded enough to listen to people’s point of view and argument rather than dismissing people based on an often misused label. I don’t have to agree with someone to “follow” them on RUclips. Also I don’t have to dislike someone because another person has decided they are whatever ism they choose to label them. You don’t know why I follow anyone or whether I happen to agree with them or not. What is certain from my perspective is that being of a mixed background and disabled is that most people shouting “racism” and “ableism” do not speak on my behalf as I rarely find these words to actually apply and a semantic fallacy does apply as in fact the words are used as a battering ram to attempt to force people into not expressing their opinion, which I am wholly against. You don’t get to decide whether I think people I follow are racist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic etc etc, I get to decide what I think. Then, shockingly even if I do decide they they are indeed one of these labels, it is my decision as to whether I want to follow them or not to understand their position whether I find it agreeable or not. In other words, I don’t need a “white knight” deciding for me what my opinion is or what arguments I should or should not be exposed to, but thanks for trying to assert your self appointed moral dominance over a disabled person. Finally, you don’t get to decide how I enjoy Gojiras art, but again, thanks for the attempt at dictating to me what and how I should enjoy something. We (disabled people) don’t need people like you making rules up for us.
Already one minute in and you can tell Joe is an absolute gentleman
Joe didn’t even correct her when she said “Born For One Reason”
He's so sweet and nice. wish she'd done some research tho
how do you not know that come on... did she even fucking listen to it?
Humility is knowing the difference between disrespect and unpreparedness. Joe exudes humility. The woman clearly didn’t mean no harm, it’s a song title, let’s get over ourselves.
he also was cool with her butchering his name lol
For the few interviews that I've tuned into with Loudwire, it has definitely been cringey with the interviewers messing up names and songs. Like, yikes. Hope this doesn't happen often.
I remember meeting Joe at an In Flames show in Lille, France in 2009. He was just there as a fan, in the audience, during this random date on the tour, on the other side of the country from where he lives, just a few weeks after they opened for Metallica during their NA tour. He was so kind, humble, talking to everyone, taking pictures, all smile and love. This man is exactly how you imagine he is. A beautiful human being, truly.
This band is so majestic!
its the prefer band of metal bands
I really liked this interviewer. Her questions showed that she really cares for Joe's thoughts... And not just doing her job to pay the rent. Really interesting questions.
Except she could’ve done her research a bit better. But she was solid nonetheless.

April 30th... here we go!
New fan here! 45 years old. Been listening to rock since 13ish. A big fan of Seattle grunge and LA rock bands. Gojira was introduced to me by my brother in law. Hello everyone 👋
Welcome my friend
What I really love about this interview is just how little Joe was talking about new record, old records, personal stuff, etc., but on that vegan question - he just couldn't stop. That is probably one thing that occupies his mind the most. I don't know how, but this band literally made me vegetarian (and then vegan) in a year. And I was heavy meat eater. I've been listening to Gojira only since 2018, but it's already became not only my fav band, but probably one of the best things, that happened to me for the last 10 years. Some people can say that this is just music, but if it can change someone's life for best - it IS a big deal. Thanks to Joe and other guys for this. Fan boy for life, currently 30.
And yeah, of course there is a LOT more to share than just vegan diet. Be aware, be primal, fear not, make your love and anger be in balance and find the right way to direct it. That is Gojira for me
I used to be vegan, and vegetarian before that (10 years total). And it is one of the biggest mistake I've ever made. Not only is it unnatural, but it will wreck your health in the long term. Veganism = malnutrition = premature death in the long term.
@@laporte1625 I agree, meat is a very important component for our body that we can't stop eating. It's unhealthy to not have meat. But i still respect Joe.
Word! I actually fell into Gojira as a vegan. I didn't know he was until I already knew the discography. The environ-metal-ism is what got me originally.
@@laporte1625 I've been doing really well on a mostly strict plant-based diet for over 9 years now. Not just that, I also got rid of my years-long heart problems by staying away from meat altogether and most other animal products almost entirely, whenever possible. Also, basically ever since changing my eating habits, my vision has become more clear and less hazy, and my ability to perform well sexually has increased significantly. I'm happy with my decision, just like every other non-carnivore I know.
While we as humans are able to digest meat, we are not designed to do so. Nutrient deficiency does not equal lack of animal product intake.
@@laporte1625 well you absolutely did not know what you were doing though i can't blame you, given that 10 years ago the information on the internet regarding that wasn't as available as today
Joe you have influenced me as Metallica has you... YOU ARE MY METALLICA! You Gojira and your crew have made me want to be just like you guys. Thank you for all that you have done for my family and I, your kindness can not be measured. I feel like Born For One Thing speaks to me, like you were directly speaking to me. You know I played most of your music on drums but soon I will be doing Gojira guitar and bass cavers too. Thank you for being you. I can't wait to see you guys with the Deftness in Boston soon.
Much love,
Riley Steelface
Joe duplantier is one of the best 🔥🔥🤘
Yooo same pic
whales.
My favorite song
@@thewhale3672 whales all the wayyy
I FINALLY FOUND THE WHALES
I like this guy - I've only recently been exposed to GOJIRA & I've definitely been missing out. I share so many values with him, as a secular humanist myself = he's a great person & creates kickass music!
From Mars to Sirius, front to back, listen to it my friend, you won't be disappointed.
Bruh you are so lucky, id give up my left arm to rediscover gojira
@@broganlund1268 yes sir ! Literally just listened to this on my way to work today !
@@broganlund1268 I've already listened to 'From Mars To Sirius' 2 times and it's turned out to be a good album. I'll listen to it more, sure. I also discovered Gojira very recently and I'm beginning to love and appreciate their music. My first song from them was 'The Gift Of Guilt'. Man, it's such a powerful and beautiful song! It's one of my favorites in the whole metal music so far. I've listened to that song for countless times and I'm not done yet! In addition, I've tried only 3 Gojira's albums (L'Enfant Sauvage, Magma and From Mars To Sirius), so more good things for me to come, I believe!
@@greyoga129 by any chance have you stumbled upon a band called Opeth? My dude, if not, ghost reveries album from start to finish is hands on my all time favorite metal album, just pure brilliance in my opinion. 🤘
It's very inspiring to see a kickass talented musician such as Joe being so down to earth, articulate and sharing his world view in a way which challenges in a respectful way. What a legend.
This whole Interview a had a smile on my face. It's always very comfortable listening to his interviews. Best frontman in da best Band. I love gojira and the positive energy around them and their fanbase
Yes he is intelligent and lovely, good vibes
I love this band to death, seriously.
Joe is the most laid back, good dude in metal, would love to just talk with him about stuff
"I feel like an alien sometimes."
Relatable.
Also, Gojira is awesome.
Gojira is the perfect combo of positivity and heavy
Theres something special about Gojira, I dont know how to describe it.
When I listen to other music, Im like, this sounds good. But when I listen to Gojira its a completely unique experience.
Agreed. I don’t know what it is, exactly, either.. but it comes from a place of truth, and passion.
Real, I don't know why but I always come back to gojira there's something with their music that resonates with me like nothing else
I'm actually drawing Joe for an art fauvism project :)
You should post it on the Gojira subreddit!
100% should post it on the subreddit
I have been considering becoming at least a Vegetarian for a long time now. Thanks for more motivation Joe. The new song is so badass as well. Can't wait for the new album.
Check out Dominion, dairy cows and egg laying hens still suffer and die early when their production slows down :) go vegan
Go vegan but vegetarian is a good starting point and really easy to do, especially with all the new meat alternatives. I was vegetarian for nearly 2 years before I went vegan. Just like anything else, after a little research and adjustment period, it’ll be no big deal after a few weeks.
@@BigKeith805 I know. I hate myself sometimes. THanks for reply.
@@bw1955 You are so kind for the information. Peace.
This is so wholesome and heartwarming.
The story of Metallica and his wife really made me smile.
Back to headbang to Born for one reason
Haha
Gojira is just built different
Legend has it, while Joe was living in the forest for two years, he got that scar on his lip after fighting a wild bear and killing it with his bare hands.
I think the bear would have recognised how harmless the man is and , after befriending him , they probably would have gone berry picking together.
Being in France, it most likely would have been a wild boar instead of a bear. Bears are rare nowadays, they went extinct over here and have been re-introduced only 20 years ago, from Slovenia.
I think that Joe and the bear would probably write a sick album called the hive
It was Mario's cymbal
I knew it! I never asked Google about it, but I felt the connection with his environmental lyrics... Big Vegan Love ❤️ Joe!!
from Death Metal to shape of their own style, Joe and Mario are one of the best 🔥

@@dvir12345 k
@@Altroburst Joe, Mario, Christian and Jean-Michel*
@@templaragent13 nope
Respect this guy alot, the music, the song writing, his views, articulation, well educated and very talented, deserves the success.
Gojira has one of the most dedicated fanbases in the world tbh
GOJIRA reminds me of a dark time in my life revolved around drugs and alcohol, now that I’ve been sober for over 13 months Terra Incognita, From Mars to Sirius, & The Way of All Flesh is all bittersweet yet inspiring because I feel that their music helped me push through. These days listening to their new music I feel the power running through me lol
Those brothers are a blessing. Joe and Mario are amongst the best talents that have added a lot to the Metal scene. So talented yet so down to earth. Rock on Gojira, we cannot wait to listen to the new album 🤘🍻
Gojira does not consist only of Duplantiers
Joe, Mario, Christian, Jean, their crew and tour manager are all fantastic humans! Proud to be a fan and friend.
I don't know why these two are the only one's always pointed out as great. The other two members do exist and are a huge part of Gojira and are also great guys.
gojira is the reason ive been switching over to a vegan/vegetarian diet
Gojira and Propagandhi are bands that I discovered not so recently but they impacted my life so strongly.
You people are making a good job making us reflect on every single point of our life on this planet and trying to be our best version. Thanks.
And the best part is headbanging not just with our heads, but with our hearts too, that made me think that their music has a sacred place in my life xD
Oh yes! Two of my favorites and Propagandhi never get the recognition they deserve. Victory Lap was such an amazing album! I love the honesty and passion of both bands! Go vegan!
Gojira and Propagandhi are 2 of my top 3 favorite bands, so I'm super tickled by your comment! Fantastic bands and fantastic/wholesome/humble musicians. ❤
Gojira is my current favourite band. They are just so talented and have an actual important message in their songs.
I'm so happy I found Gojira. Great music with great people behind it. Wish I could've seen them last summer... hopefully I'll get that chance again someday.
Gojira is one of the bands I am always excited to see perform. They're at every rock festival and always do some of the best performances. It's almost offensive that they're never the headliners, but I rest easy knowing that are always the "big" band that starts closing out the shows
Joe makes a very powerful argument for veganism. I'm moved by his passion.
It's always crazy to see an interview where a frontman for a metal band is so chill and normal when days before, they were on stage, 25 feet from you, playing some of the heaviest live music you've ever seen 🤘🏻
I loved this enterview ! Interesting questions and Joe's smile made my day :)
I owe myself LIFE
Such a conscious human being. Inspiring
I really hope that they are able to tour because hearing them would be so amazing after everything that has happened because they’re just so amazing and inspiring
I love Joe's explanation of how they figure out how to play a song live. It makes total sense to me that those that are familiar with the songs will add the accents mentally even though they aren't actually there. I was lucky enough to see Gojira in 2019 with my daughter, and we were directly in front of Christian, against the stage. Great experience.
Thanks for upload this. The fans we apreciate it 😍🌋
two of my favorite bands in the world!!! love the Deftones and Gojira sooo much!!! that last time i had seen both was Dia De Los Detones 2019... great times... i miss concerts
They're playing again this year! I'll be seeing them in Sept in LA
@@thenumberonebeaner2211 yes, i’ll see you there!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

That is a pretty amazing interview. Tbh all the important questions asked and more for insight and interesting

That harmonic breakdown is the most heavy and creative thing I've heard in years. Gojira evolves every album, getting better and better.

Amazing interview. Gave me a new understanding of the minds behind the music. Can't wait til April 30th
Ordered the Album as soon as I could. Super stoked for it!
Joe inspired me to try going completely vegan once again. I have been having a hard time gaining weight while eating nothing but plants and vegetables, but I looked up some fast ways to gain weight while eating vegan.
Ryan Humiston is a pretty big vegan dude if you ask me
Damn I think ima go vegan to lose weight
Born for One Thing is going to be an amazing opener. Imagine the pits slowly opening up as tat intro is playing, only to then explode when the verse kicks in. Cant wait for gigs to come back, its going to be so cathartic!
He's so laid back, I love it! Great interview!
Great Interview! I loved the questions, and it's always a pleasure to hear Joe
GOJIRA are the band that everyone should know. Great passion, talent, and they care about what is happening in their time, and everyone else, on the planet.
Such an great interview, perfectly prepared:)
Also Joe is such an awesome guy, really inspiring to me
I’ve genuinely been more hyped for this new album than i remember being for any other
Fun chat. Joe is a superb human being. Bring on 'Fortitude'!
Gojira makes me get up and workout workout when I am feeling like a lazy fatso! Love this band!
“Backbone” for back-day.
God , need my dose of Gojira !! Can't wait to go and see them on their next tour . Best live band i've ever experienced !
Amazing interview!!!! Thank you!!!! 🤘
This band has inspired me so much creatively an has motivated me to do better with my life. They helped reignite the spark of excitement and happiness in my soul that had been lost for a long time.
I was a vegetarian and vegan over many years and I'm still young, and he's reminding me of exactly why it grossed me out for so long
vegan metal musicians teammmm ^_^
So glad to hear these words from you Joe
J'espère te rencontrer un jour et avoir l'occasion de discuter ensemble de ces choses là et d'autres. Tu as grandi en écoutant Metallica : j'ai grandi en écoutant The Link en boucle ! Ma musique est tellement influencée par vous quatre
Daaaamn i love Gojira so much, already bought their album Fortitude, can't wait!
Awesome interview! And Great questions
Best Metal band right now
Joe is a legend!!! He is so calm yet when on stage a monster as per his band name...Great interview!!
How cool is this man.
Into the Storm is by far my favorite song on that album. Great album.
I cannot wait for the new project!
I never thought i would fall in love with gojira.i heard bout them years back but never paid any attention.now they are my favourite and we are covering stranded in few weeks time. Also Joe and mario,the coolest,talented ,laid back ,humble brother duo.
My favorite band, their music is just so perfect for my soul. If you ever get a chance to see them live go. You will be amazed.
12:06 Joe is totally right here and I believe every musician should think of their songs that way
I absolutely love Gojira. Seriously they amaze me and I always find a deep attachment to the music they create.
Wow, the part where he talks about absent musical elements still being played out in the audiences mind totally blew mine. Such an inspirational group, both in content and execution.
Merci Joe ! Merci pour ton franc parler et ta bonne humeur dans ce monde
I freaking love Joe and Mario , Gojira is one of the best bands out there currently and I love that they are so humble! I can't wait for the new album!
Gojira is something very special!
To me at least, one of the Best metal bands to walk the Earth.
can't WAIT to see them in NYC !!!
Will we see a “Favorite riffs” from either Christian or joe anytime soon?
We need this
amogus
😳
Im gonna see Gojira this September in Denver and i am SOOOO excited!!!!!
It will be my first big show
Joe seems like such a cool down to earth guy. Love Gojira's music, love their message, and I love what I see outside of their music too.
Absolutely love Lowlands & its video
12:01 That is some deep psychoanalysis, Joe.
I never thought of it like that.. 🤯
Gojira best band
Idk bout that
Yes
Iron maiden*
@@dvir12345 no
@@dvir12345 Their stuff has aged horribly. Metal is supposed to be a genuine and unadulterated expression of the soul, dynamic, emotional and down to earth, but ultimately fun to play. The guys from Iron Maiden are a few leather pants from being glam; they already have the commercial 'arena' sound, and they were never that disruptive anyways, thrash could've existed without them, we already had a Diamondhead, a Judas Priest, a Motorhead, an UFO, and so on and so on... even if they were important, i will always prefer the people who did it better, no matter for how many years a band pioneers a genre, the next band is always gonna do it better than them, people really need to lay off that fallacy. And i'm not trashing you for liking them, but Iron Maiden, better than Gojira? What a sick joke.
This interview makes me like this band even more. Didn't know that was possible. Hope they come to TX one day! 🤘
They're such an AWESOME band.
I came across these guys 3 years ago, and they have to be some of the most humble, talented guys/band out there. I'm not even that huge in to metal, but their music is just addicting!
3:14 "born for one reason" lol
Cool interview, good questions
He's one of the most well spoken guys... great lyricist.
Oh yea yea the whalemaster
The "meeting my wife thanks to my metal gods" story was awesome and put a huge smile on my face the whole time.
Fuck yeah! GOJIRA!!!! Cannot wait for new music
This band is unbelievably underrated.
No they are not.
On the other hand. Posting comments like ‘this and that band is underrated’ is overused and overrated.
There's always gotta be that douche comment. They actually are underrated. Sure they have a dedicated fan base and are a fairly large band, but with as talented these guys in both the studio and Live, along with being amazing dude's, they should be on the level of Metallica, etc. I didn't even know about them until around 3 years ago when I stumbled across a live version of "The Art of Dying" Live in '09.
