The problem with Gojira is, you can't just pick songs. Art of Dying is a must. But so is Flying Whales and The Cell and Liquid Fire and Backbone and Where Dragons Dwell and and and... Ohhhh and the old stuff ofc! Remembrance and Love and Clone for example.
@@fredesti1 they are a band without a bad album, really. L'enfant Sauvage is an amazing album on its own, could compete against the best of any band and would most likely win.
When I saw them live in 2014 I had a brief conversation with Christian, their guitar player, and I asked him if they'll ever play Born In Winter live. He told me that it uses sort of some special guitar tuning and it's probably never going to be in their set. Shame, cause I'm sure it would bring the house down, great dynamics
🤙🤙Apparently, Gojira has a mighty fanbase. I'm so digging their music but as I move forward I ask you: FROM THEIR FIRST ALBUM which track should I respond to for my next Gojira video? Awwwwwright!🤙🤙
technically they weren't gojira until their second album haha (they were called godzilla originally) i cant recomend a song from those early albums but i really think art of dying and flying whales are worth your time!
I think you can never go wrong with the first track on Terra Incognita, called ”Clone”. Other songs from the first album worth noting would be: Love, Deliverance, Lizard Skin
"I'm kinda goobering a little bit on the drummer right now..." That is exactly the right thing to be doing ;) Mario Duplantier is his name; his brother Joe does vocals and rhythm guitar. One of my favorite tracks by one of my favorite bands; thanks, man, that made my evening. That look on your face when it comes out of the intensity and settles back into the rhythm for the last few minute or so ... yes. I first heard this song while driving, and had to pull over or I was going to wrap myself around a tree.
One of my favorite Gojira songs. This is the one that actually really helped me when I was feeling down, because it's such a sweet and supportive song.
The lyrics are what makes Gojira so special to me as well. It’s hard to pick a favorite album from them, but lyrically TWOAF makes that album a 11/10 for me
"I don't know what to expect, I'm only half way through it so there could be all kinds of stuff coming at me..." - .5 seconds before the song starts melting faces
Gojira, for me, is the evolution of the predecessor TooL's subgenre. It's so alien, foreign, novel ...never done before... it challenges your soul in it's darkness-void. It's not evil, it's not good...it's depth and void and power. It's themes are death, but not non-existence....not heaven or hell either...but ...just epic Such great art
i call it the force of nature sound, i think ISIS is another band that creates this sound, it's like aggresive but not violent i don't know how to describe it but it's like a superior ancient force's soundtrack
@@OneInTheMosh Backbone got me into extreme metal. My aunt took me to a Gojira concert when I was 12 and I didn’t really pay attention at the first song (I was listening to metalcore and punk rock back then). Then they played backbone and I was just blown away by that outtro/breakdown. It was the heaviest I had ever heard in my life.
A good friend of mine described you as the "Bob Ross of music" and I couldn't agree more. Your humble, unbiased, and musically educated take on these songs are a very heartwarming approach to these bands that are obviously outside your "norm", to say the least. Thank you! It means a lot for those of us whom are younger and wish to portray the beauty in music that of which is so easily misheard/understood.
@@KeyOfGeebz Thank you :) I have done my best to show your channel to others and what it is all about. I genuinely appreciate your content. You do so much that is to be respected. I'm also glad you understand how to gracefully deflect the trolls out there. That being said, I've never been into the "Reaction" video stereotype and am super happy to see the way you take this on. I will gladly buy you many pots of coffee.
My heart almost stopped at your first break! I was thinking “you cannot stop the song there!!! No way!” 🤣🤣🤣 The commentary made up for it…Gojira is the kind of music that when I’m listening in the car, if someone turns it down to talk, it had better be important …my 16 year old music nerd son is the only one that understands. that.
6:03 What I love about the layering in the verse is that the clean deep singing comes first and foremost, and the screaming track is turned all the way down to a whisper
03:04 Bars come down, lock into place, the cart leaves the station and just at the apex of the rollercoaster: "Alright, this seems like a good place to stop..."
Loving the videos, brother. Small nitpick (Can't help it, I'm a drummer) - In the first section of the song, what you're describing as hi-hat work is actually all ghost notes on the snare. The hi-hat is consistently quarter notes.
Gojira, Baroness and Mastodon all within a week or so? That's so awesome Geebz. I'd love to see some more of all 3 of these guys, as well as some more Opeth and The Mars Volta.
Gojira is always my recommendation to people with virgin ears for metal. Something about their sound appeals to a wider audience then your typical metal band.
I started watching your reactions to see how you liked some of my favourite bands.. but now I'm here finding all these other amazing artists. Thanks to this amazing community.
Scrolled 500+ comments and somehow did not once come across a recommendation of Gojira-Wolf Down the Earth, it is by far one of their most underrated songs and is a killer tune 🤘
imho gojira is the most important band of our generation atm, amazing band, perfect songs, love the brutality, the passion, the lyrics, their meaning of their songs, beautiful stuff ! I wish to see them again live, soon. You can try flying whales, liquid fire, l'enfant sauvage, the gift of guilt, the art of dying, all masterpieces in my ears! met you through your video of katatonia and I love the analysis of all my favorite bands man, keep them coming!
the fact that you dont like them now doesn't mean they are shit. its all personal preference. still I dont understand the urge of some ppl to write comments like that. if you dont have anything productive to say, dont say it at all
Finally ❤❤❤ Gojira is one of the best metal band of this generation. There is no disappointing album, they all propose a journey on their own. Songs like Flying Wales, Ouroboros, Love, Explosia, Gift of guilt, the Cell, Magma....so many, all good stuff!
Oh yeah this was a good one for you to pick. The vocal tones on this song are f-ing insane. I can't go as low as the intro verses so it's so fun to listen to this.
This is a little out of the left field, but I'd be interested in your take on some Incubus songs. Mike Einziger is a master of his craft. Consequence is a cool song. Nowhere Fast is great. Vitamin is amazing. Basically anything off of Make Yourself, SCIENCE, Morning View, and Light Grenades.
Such a badass track. I love how they used the main riff from Esoteric Surgery in reverse at the end of The Art of Dying. Such an emotion provoking part that really moves you! :)
Hahah the reaction at 1:57 ”of tiiiime”, I think it’s a C2 (or D2), it sounds so good. I think Joe said in an interview that Born in Winter is hard for them to play live because of how low he has to sing in the intro,- so far, to my knowledge, they haven’t played this one live yet
It's an E. Though the part where he goes "all was created out of the night " It's a 3rd below the E, and that's a C. Joe always sings the root note, so if the song is in E, he sings in E.
@@Celatra I know that Gojira usually plays in C standard so I assumed it was either that or D standard, so the root of either those. But apparently he sings an E flat there
I love how you make me fall in love with the songs I have already heard a million times and make me get goosebumps again like the first time I listened to them. God bless you Geebz!!
So, I'll start by saying that I REALLY enjoyed your analysis of this...and I'm pausing at 6:50 to compliment you, and the band, for drawing you into the adventure they wanted you to go on with them...let me explain: As you describe the "travel check", of them bringing you along without going full steam, I couldn't help but smile to myself and think "oh, dude, you're walking RIGHT into it...it's about to happen!" You see, I love Gojira, I think they're the heavy metal leaders in the world right now, and this song in particular is perhaps their most creative piece as far as showcasing the depth of their musical ability as a cohesive unit. There's a looming presence in this song, one with some borderline viking/mongolian undertones of the low, open throat vocals, and almost a feel of old school chanting music. It's an ominous feel, that stays in the lower register, and then the song smacks you in the face with an operatic entrance into stadium-type volumes. I can't say enough good things about this song, and I really, REALLY appreciate your review of it. The song clearly lets you know that "things aren't right" for the beginning, and at 7:00 of your video, it's show time - all the drama, all the buildup, and all of the groundwork comes to fruition in what feels like a bad dream come true...a menacing event to the ears. I think that ultimately, my favorite creative element of this band, is their ability to take a fairly structured 4/4 time signature, and to "busy up" the subdivision of notes in each measure, and to create a feeling of something more complicated. These guys are truly masters of their craft, and you sir, are truly a master of appreciating the craft of these types of musicians. You've gained a subscriber for sure, and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
dude i love your breakdowns on music. It is SO nice, to have someone on youtube who is chill and can talk actual theory about these reaction suggestions.
I would love for you to do a video on how different tones effect a person because I would definitely love to hear your perspective on that. Its an interesting phenomenon that I'm not sure a lot of people recognize is happening (or at least don't attribute it to music/sounds - or maybe it doesn't happen to everyone, I don't know.
Your videos kept appearing in my feed and I love them! I also love some of the insights into composition and production/engineering theory. You’re reactions are great to watch and so genuine! Greetings from the UK. 🤙🏼
Man! This is such a treat to listen to. And not just the song itself, not because I was a fan of Gojira already and someone is analyzing and praising a thing I like, no, the presentation of the Key of Geebz is so informative and comprehensive, understandable! I loved watching his reactions and listening to his explanations and deconstruction. Informative and entertaining. Great!
You are my new favorite reaction channel. Been watching your Tool breakdowns which is a band I adore, but Gojira is my favorite band, and I've always been really into music, so your breakdowns really help me understand more and grow my own understanding of songs I love! Keep going with Gojira, so many good songs!
One of my all-time favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. This song already spoke to me on so many levels, but I love how your take on it let me hear things I didn't fully appreciate before.
So stoked to see you've done this. Gojira is my absolute favorite band! Idk how to recommend you a song because I have too many favs, but one of the most musically impressive and gorgeous is Gojira's Global Warming off the From Mars to Sirius album. Also Mario, the drummer, is absolutely ridiculous. He's a monster.
Dude,....Thank you for giving an honest reaction to all these metal vids. There seems to bee a million sub-genres of metal and it is so awesome to hear articulate breakdowns of phrases that draw such emotion. Your channel has the best reaction vids for newbs/musicians alike. Cheers with gummy bears haha
Thanks for helping me have more appreciation for my favorite band. Vacuity would be a great pick for more Gojira. One of their sludgier songs, and some of my favorite lyrics to boot.
Yes Vacuity is great, along with Toxic Garbage Island. I find it hard to get into many other Gojira songs, a lot like Tool, I find they don't really quite achieve what people describe they do, and there is a lot of sameness to their tracks.
This song by Gojira carries within an emotional charge that's both special and characteristic of Gojira. Grats for the content, I also suggest you check out Ulcerate - Stare into death and be still, powerful and intense as it can get
That song by ulcerate is absolutely devastating. Dead oceans is up there too. I'm slowly exploring more of their stuff. I like digesting it one song at a time.
@@MedTechMetal i am a big fan of all of ulcerate discography. But their latest album has a whole new gravitas and maturity about it which is mind blowing. It's the kind of music you'd hear at world's end
One thing I love about this guy is how into music he gets. Like you can tell he has a passion for it just the way he closes his eyes, analyzes the music and just bobs his head. You my friend are a gift!
I’m someone who never comments on anything by anyone, but I really want to let you know this. Your videos are a joy to watch. You have so much insight, passion, open mindedness, and charisma. Thank you for making these!
Gojira is my fave band. I love watching people hear their songs for the first time.. It is almost giving me an opportunity to hear them for the first time.
I highly recommend their song Magma. The lead part is all pinch harmonics on the third fret but they change where they pick and it changes the note. It blew my mind when I discovered this
Oh man I just discovered this channel! I’d love you to do anything by one of my favorite bands Between The Buried And Me! Prog metal at its finest! Sun of Nothing, Ants of the Sky, White Walls, Selkies the endless obsession nearly all of their songs would make for great reviews!
I'm still here! Geebz, I don't think I have ever posted a comment on a youtube video, but I wanted to say that I love your vibe! Though reaction videos are dime a dozen these days on this platform, I keep on wanting to watch yours because you have a critical, yet super open approach to analyzing the pieces you hear/watch. Suffice it to say, I was not surprised when I looked through your older videos and saw meditation videos and chakra-centered explorations. As a fellow explorer of that realm, I appreciate the simultaneous comfort you bring with your dynamism when you do these videos. Anyhow! I also have 2 recommendations! You have reacted to a few Opeth songs, and I think the song Blackwater Park (from the album of the same name) is a journey you'd super dig! But I also have a non-metal suggestion! Agnes Obel is a wonderful songwriter from Scandinavia and her song Fuel to the Fire has some vibes you have not yet talked about on the channel and I am super curious what you would feel about them!
Aloha Maharban! Thank you so much for your comment. Yea, I have the Namaste thing going too :) Opeth is around the corner and many have been suggesting Blackwater Park. Hang in there!
Grateful to of been able to stumble across this channel. It’s amazing to see, hear & feel the same expressions as Mr. Geebz. A few songs I strongly suggest: “Toxic Garbage Island” “Mouth of Kala” “Art of Dying” maybe even their live performances as well. They sound great live just as they do in their albums. 😎🤘🏽 cheers Geebz! Thank you for sharing!
Hello! I might have a really unique suggestion. Viorar vel til loftarasa - Sigur Ros. The buildup with a combination of piano and bass is just stunning. And then around the end there's a climax with bowed guitar which sound like there are bees swarming through your veins! I recommend you to take a listen on that!
Glad you got back to them. When you get back to the Ocean please listen to Permian the Great Dying and for a new one you have to do Between the Buried and Me, the song Extremophile Elite. Keep up the good work dude.
This is definitely one of my favorite Gojira songs, even if it's a lot more mellow than most of their other stuff. There's a lot of emotion present here that really gets me. Flying Whales is definitely an obvious Gojira track to check out, but my recommendation is A Sight To Behold, which is far and away my all-time favorite. It's pretty incredible.
Here are some Gojira songs for you that I absolutely love: "Where Dragons Dwell"; "The Art of Dying"; "Flying Whales"; "Oroborus"; "Global Warming"; "Backbone"; "Silvera"; "Stranded"; "Magma"; "Pray"; "L'enfant sauvage"; "Gift of Guilt"; "World to Come"; "Ocean Planet"; "Adoration for None"; "The Cell"; "Esoteric Surgery"; "A Sight to Behold"; "All the Tears"; "Vacuity"; and "Explosia". "The Art of Dying" is arguably their toughest song to play, to the point they no longer play it live because it is so hard to play it burnt them out. Gojira is arguably one of the most Technically Proficient bands in Metal right now, and it is amazing to see how well they just play live, my favorite live band. "Born in Winter" is an amazing song to just sit back and listen to.
As many others have pointed out, "The art of dying" by Gojira would lead to a very interesting decomposition. On another note, I'll keep suggesting "Heavyweight" by Infected Mushroom.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
"Art of Dying" - Gojira is a must! Commenting for the algorithm.
100% - an absolute must.
That is the perfect song for Geebz to react to! So much nuance and technical aspects to the song, that I would love to hear "decomposed".
This!
Especially the live one
The problem with Gojira is, you can't just pick songs. Art of Dying is a must. But so is Flying Whales and The Cell and Liquid Fire and Backbone and Where Dragons Dwell and and and...
Ohhhh and the old stuff ofc! Remembrance and Love and Clone for example.
This song is a masterpiece. Writing, production and mixing is just perfect
That album is one of my favorite
@@fredesti1 they are a band without a bad album, really. L'enfant Sauvage is an amazing album on its own, could compete against the best of any band and would most likely win.
When I saw them live in 2014 I had a brief conversation with Christian, their guitar player, and I asked him if they'll ever play Born In Winter live. He told me that it uses sort of some special guitar tuning and it's probably never going to be in their set. Shame, cause I'm sure it would bring the house down, great dynamics
@@R1ckDeckard Joe has stated that they won't play it because of how low he has to sing for it as well. Amazing song though
They have the best drum sound in the game
Dude, yes! Check out "The Art Of Dying" as your next Gojira song, you won't regret
I second this 100%
I suggested that one before. My favorite song by them.
abosolutely
One of my favourite songs, such a trip.
I think he'd love the drums and composition of that one more than just about any of their other songs, great suggestion.
Dude that first pause absolutely killed me. Talk about blue balls 😫
🤙🤙Apparently, Gojira has a mighty fanbase. I'm so digging their music but as I move forward I ask you: FROM THEIR FIRST ALBUM which track should I respond to for my next Gojira video? Awwwwwright!🤙🤙
Too many off that one. Absolute killer record but: Lizard Skin, Rise, Satan is a Lawyer, or Clone
technically they weren't gojira until their second album haha (they were called godzilla originally) i cant recomend a song from those early albums but i really think art of dying and flying whales are worth your time!
I think you can never go wrong with the first track on Terra Incognita, called ”Clone”. Other songs from the first album worth noting would be: Love, Deliverance, Lizard Skin
I'd probably go with Clone, but I really like Space Time and the first half of In the Forest
Space Time (Live version from The Link Alive DVD)
"Flying Whales" is Gojira masterclass. Enjoy the week off, man.
"I'm kinda goobering a little bit on the drummer right now..." That is exactly the right thing to be doing ;) Mario Duplantier is his name; his brother Joe does vocals and rhythm guitar. One of my favorite tracks by one of my favorite bands; thanks, man, that made my evening.

Hi, I'm Mario. I have six legs
Hi, I'm Mario, I hate t-shirts
One of my favorite Gojira songs. This is the one that actually really helped me when I was feeling down, because it's such a sweet and supportive song.
For such a heavy sounding band, their lyrics can be so uplifting. It’s a weird combo
@@cmillivol98 Exactly, the same could be said about The Cell. They are genuinely trying to help those who are struggling.
The lyrics are what makes Gojira so special to me as well. It’s hard to pick a favorite album from them, but lyrically TWOAF makes that album a 11/10 for me
@@darkaquatus Shooting Star is one of the most beautifully written songs ever, as well
@@MattiasWalc 100%. That album is a masterpiece, both lyrically and musically
I LOVE their song "the gift of guilt" and i think it got some nice changes you might like aswell.
That one was a sleeper track for me. Now it's damn near always stuck in my head. That and pain is a master
gift of guilt and born in winter are my 2 favs off of lenfant sauvage
@@MedTechMetal pain is a master is heavily underrated man
The Art Of Dying is the song we need the Geebz to experience.
that would be an hour of reaction video XD
Definitely. By far their best track
"I don't know what to expect, I'm only half way through it so there could be all kinds of stuff coming at me..." - .5 seconds before the song starts melting faces
"This feels like a good place to stop" - Geebz right before the explosion
Gojira, for me, is the evolution of the predecessor TooL's subgenre. It's so alien, foreign, novel ...never done before... it challenges your soul in it's darkness-void. It's not evil, it's not good...it's depth and void and power. It's themes are death, but not non-existence....not heaven or hell either...but ...just epic
Such great art

Gojira is Tool, Meshuggah and Swedish melo-death all in one in some ways. Pretty much one of the very few original metal bands left in this world.
Overuse of kickdrum and screaming.
Not Tool at all.
Shame because they are talented, but jyst want to thrash at music instead of OFFER it.
@@MetaFootballTV "overuse of kickdrum"
tf is that supposed to mean
@@MetaFootballTV Just say you don't like death metal, don't try to find explanations for it
Vacuity is the track that fully locked me into these guys. Still gives me "goose flesh".
Vacuity is such an under rated song. That’s how I felt about “this emptiness” from this album
Totally slept on, not to say their other favorites aren't worthy, but man Vacuity makes my blood pump with each downbeat
Backbone vibes on that one for sure
Ocean Planet piqued my interest. Vacuity got me hooked.
@@OneInTheMosh Backbone got me into extreme metal. My aunt took me to a Gojira concert when I was 12 and I didn’t really pay attention at the first song (I was listening to metalcore and punk rock back then).

Yusssss! One of theee best Gojirs songs. Seen this band multiple times live and they were always perfect.
Finally ❤❤❤

1:03 to 1:13 is the single best 10 second section of video in the history of videos! 😂 Much love, my man, and I do indeed "feel like you do". 😎
You are correct with the vocal layering. It's unreal that he can perform a lot of these songs live and not much is lost.
"I'm kind of goobering on the drummer right now....." as well you should sir, Mario is by far one of THE best drummers in music today.
Yo, You should check out Esoteric Surgery by Gojira
that's such a good song
Such a badass track. I love how they used the main riff from Esoteric Surgery in reverse at the end of The Art of Dying. Such an emotion provoking part that really moves you! :)

dude i love your breakdowns on music. It is SO nice, to have someone on youtube who is chill and can talk actual theory about these reaction suggestions.
I would love to see a reaction to The Art of Dying!! This is the best reaction channel going Imo 👍
I would love for you to do a video on how different tones effect a person because I would definitely love to hear your perspective on that. Its an interesting phenomenon that I'm not sure a lot of people recognize is happening (or at least don't attribute it to music/sounds - or maybe it doesn't happen to everyone, I don't know.
Hell yeah man! I suggested this song! (Or was potentially one of many) This is such a good one from them.
That video was so perfect for this song! So deep and powerful, flowing and moving....awesome!
Your videos kept appearing in my feed and I love them! I also love some of the insights into composition and production/engineering theory. You’re reactions are great to watch and so genuine! Greetings from the UK. 🤙🏼
Thank you, Russel!
Man! This is such a treat to listen to. And not just the song itself, not because I was a fan of Gojira already and someone is analyzing and praising a thing I like, no, the presentation of the Key of Geebz is so informative and comprehensive, understandable! I loved watching his reactions and listening to his explanations and deconstruction. Informative and entertaining. Great!
Such a good breakdown. This song is something special.
You are my new favorite reaction channel. Been watching your Tool breakdowns which is a band I adore, but Gojira is my favorite band, and I've always been really into music, so your breakdowns really help me understand more and grow my own understanding of songs I love! Keep going with Gojira, so many good songs!
One of my all-time favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. This song already spoke to me on so many levels, but I love how your take on it let me hear things I didn't fully appreciate before.
To me, All the Tears is one of the most badass songs they've composed. That would be a good one to break down.
The Art of Dying by Gojira is damn near a perfect song.
So stoked to see you've done this. Gojira is my absolute favorite band! Idk how to recommend you a song because I have too many favs, but one of the most musically impressive and gorgeous is Gojira's Global Warming off the From Mars to Sirius album. Also Mario, the drummer, is absolutely ridiculous. He's a monster.
Dude,....Thank you for giving an honest reaction to all these metal vids. There seems to bee a million sub-genres of metal and it is so awesome to hear articulate breakdowns of phrases that draw such emotion. Your channel has the best reaction vids for newbs/musicians alike. Cheers with gummy bears haha
This was the first Gojira song I heard about a year ago. I'm very thankful I found them..
You're the first reaction that pops up in a general "Gojira" search. Way to go man, love your stuff!
Thanks for helping me have more appreciation for my favorite band. Vacuity would be a great pick for more Gojira. One of their sludgier songs, and some of my favorite lyrics to boot.
Yes Vacuity is great, along with Toxic Garbage Island. I find it hard to get into many other Gojira songs, a lot like Tool, I find they don't really quite achieve what people describe they do, and there is a lot of sameness to their tracks.
Alright! This was so much fun! That's definitely one of my favorites from that album, however gojira have so many epic songs. 😁🤘🤘🤘
The Cell will blow your mind with the drumming. It breaks mine every time I listen to the tune.
You know it's good when he instantly gets out his pen write lol
This song by Gojira carries within an emotional charge that's both special and characteristic of Gojira. Grats for the content, I also suggest you check out Ulcerate - Stare into death and be still, powerful and intense as it can get
That song by ulcerate is absolutely devastating. Dead oceans is up there too.
I'm slowly exploring more of their stuff. I like digesting it one song at a time.
@@MedTechMetal i am a big fan of all of ulcerate discography. But their latest album has a whole new gravitas and maturity about it which is mind blowing. It's the kind of music you'd hear at world's end
That's exactly how I would describe that album. It sure as hell doesn't leave you feeling good lol
One thing I love about this guy is how into music he gets. Like you can tell he has a passion for it just the way he closes his eyes, analyzes the music and just bobs his head. You my friend are a gift!
I’m someone who never comments on anything by anyone, but I really want to let you know this. Your videos are a joy to watch. You have so much insight, passion, open mindedness, and charisma. Thank you for making these!
Man!!! Is very cool how you feel the music, i can see your brain in your face! 🤯
I'd have to put this as my favorite Gojira song. It's absolutely flawless.
Gojira is my fave band. I love watching people hear their songs for the first time.. It is almost giving me an opportunity to hear them for the first time.
I highly recommend their song Magma. The lead part is all pinch harmonics on the third fret but they change where they pick and it changes the note. It blew my mind when I discovered this
Oh man I just discovered this channel! I’d love you to do anything by one of my favorite bands Between The Buried And Me!
Prog metal at its finest! Sun of Nothing, Ants of the Sky, White Walls, Selkies the endless obsession nearly all of their songs would make for great reviews!
GOJIRA! Amazing live! One of the most thoughtful metal bands out there...... Love these masters so much!
never heard of gojira before, this is sick man! thank you for the vid
Puscifer - potions
Elder - Dead roots stirring. So prog. Alright!!!!!!
Keep up it. Hundred thow subs soon. You the man. You am still here
Gojira is an awesome experience
I'm still here!
Geebz, I don't think I have ever posted a comment on a youtube video, but I wanted to say that I love your vibe! Though reaction videos are dime a dozen these days on this platform, I keep on wanting to watch yours because you have a critical, yet super open approach to analyzing the pieces you hear/watch. Suffice it to say, I was not surprised when I looked through your older videos and saw meditation videos and chakra-centered explorations. As a fellow explorer of that realm, I appreciate the simultaneous comfort you bring with your dynamism when you do these videos.
Anyhow! I also have 2 recommendations!
You have reacted to a few Opeth songs, and I think the song Blackwater Park (from the album of the same name) is a journey you'd super dig!
But I also have a non-metal suggestion! Agnes Obel is a wonderful songwriter from Scandinavia and her song Fuel to the Fire has some vibes you have not yet talked about on the channel and I am super curious what you would feel about them!
Aloha Maharban! Thank you so much for your comment. Yea, I have the Namaste thing going too :) Opeth is around the corner and many have been suggesting Blackwater Park. Hang in there!
Love this track, was excited to hear your reaction, didn’t disappoint :)
I don't know if it's because of the power of this song, or your reaction (or both) but I laughed so much watching you at 8:15 😂😂
Grateful to of been able to stumble across this channel. It’s amazing to see, hear & feel the same expressions as Mr. Geebz. A few songs I strongly suggest: “Toxic Garbage Island” “Mouth of Kala” “Art of Dying” maybe even their live performances as well. They sound great live just as they do in their albums. 😎🤘🏽 cheers Geebz! Thank you for sharing!
Probably my favorite Gojira song but nobody ever does videos on it. Loved it!
Such an excellent breakdown on what I think is the first one on this song.. love it.
Awesome. Thank you. "Stranded" when you cycle back around please!
Hello! I might have a really unique suggestion. Viorar vel til loftarasa - Sigur Ros. The buildup with a combination of piano and bass is just stunning. And then around the end there's a climax with bowed guitar which sound like there are bees swarming through your veins! I recommend you to take a listen on that!
Analyse intéressante. Cool that you did some Gojira again. It never disappoints. Good job
Glad you got back to them. When you get back to the Ocean please listen to Permian the Great Dying and for a new one you have to do Between the Buried and Me, the song Extremophile Elite. Keep up the good work dude.
what amazes me most about this song is how calm it is and intense at the same time
This is definitely one of my favorite Gojira songs, even if it's a lot more mellow than most of their other stuff. There's a lot of emotion present here that really gets me.
Flying Whales is definitely an obvious Gojira track to check out, but my recommendation is A Sight To Behold, which is far and away my all-time favorite. It's pretty incredible.
I just can't wait to see you react to much much more Gojira! 🤘
I would like to see you do an extended reaction for the music nerds and dive deep into instrumentation, arrangements, and production.
Here are some Gojira songs for you that I absolutely love: "Where Dragons Dwell"; "The Art of Dying"; "Flying Whales"; "Oroborus"; "Global Warming"; "Backbone"; "Silvera"; "Stranded"; "Magma"; "Pray"; "L'enfant sauvage"; "Gift of Guilt"; "World to Come"; "Ocean Planet"; "Adoration for None"; "The Cell"; "Esoteric Surgery"; "A Sight to Behold"; "All the Tears"; "Vacuity"; and "Explosia". "The Art of Dying" is arguably their toughest song to play, to the point they no longer play it live because it is so hard to play it burnt them out. Gojira is arguably one of the most Technically Proficient bands in Metal right now, and it is amazing to see how well they just play live, my favorite live band. "Born in Winter" is an amazing song to just sit back and listen to.
I just love how Geebz listens to the music with his mind's eye to get the full impact . nice ... Gojira is my life....\,,/
As many others have pointed out, "The art of dying" by Gojira would lead to a very interesting decomposition. On another note, I'll keep suggesting "Heavyweight" by Infected Mushroom.
An excellent breakdown, once again! Quality content sir 👍
So glad you did this song. One of their best but I always wished it was longer
Nice! Love this song 😍 Great reaction‼
Thank you!! 😁
@@KeyOfGeebz You're welcome! Looking forward to more Tool and Opeth 😉😁
Such a good pick! I love your takes, keep it up!
