Joe Duplantier - Shine On Me (Solo Material)

A rare short song by Joe Duplantier, of Gojira. I wanted to share this with Gojira fans because it is really an amazing song. Credits and Respects to Joe. This had been up on youtube for a long time but now I can't find it anywhere. It actually was posted with 2 other songs- the original version of The Wild Healer, and one which didn't stand out as well as this one, but was kind of interesting industrial sounding music, and from my understanding, were all recorded on the street somewhere in New York, by the sounds of it, Joe was busking from what I remember reading? Perhaps someone can correct me or has the other songs.

discovering anything gojira related is like extra christmas

[@Galvatron6801]

facts 😭

[@Jira0]

literally.

[@OffensiveBiasMusic]

The base melody is very reminiscent of the extra outro on The Way Of All Flesh

[@Drunkcat008]

I think this was the inspiration for "trails"
The melody is the same and the signing is similar in a way

[@v616sirius]

Love everything that comes from the gojira family

[@jinxie1080]

I've never been too interested in solo material from metal band members as I tend to find their best work is nearly always done within the band itself.
With that said: I would be very bummed out if Joe retires without releasing a full length solo with more stuff like that. I'd love to see what kind of avant-garde project he could cook up with that brain of his c:

[@bradg.726]

Same here and, frankly, I just can't get enough of his voice. Any incarnation of it.

[@KaiSimpson08]

Maybe you should try Bruce Dickinson's Chemical Wedding 😉

[@bradg.726]

@@KaiSimpson08 I took your tip and I am glad I did. Go Bruce! :)

[@alwayssomewhattired]

Wow this is very interesting. I’m in a jungle of noises

[@erikvarusio]

2 minutes are enough to make me want/hope for a solo album/project with this kind of material-wich might be old i guess but i haven't heard it before, so thanx for the upload!

[@DanielWidrew]

i didn't know this dude's name and clicked the video hoping for a cover of the ridiculous Chris Dane Owens song. still kinda disappointed it isn't, but this is a super intriguing sound and gojira rules

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Noticing the same instrument from the live intro of Remembrance, slightly similar pattern even.

[@barbados1267]

If this was actually recorded on the streets of New York imagine being a gojira fan wearing a gojira shirt and walking up on how performing this on the street that would be a wholesome moment

[@espadajesus1448]

You know where can I get more info about this song? And how do You know that?

[@patrickbutler1715]

Interesting

[@highhat583]

Whoa this is awesome, someone should ask joe about this song for more information. I had no idea that he made a solo track, I was only aware that Mario made some solo music for his 'Alone and Tired' project but was never released.

[@logananderson4440]

Still waiting on Joe to drop something with Justin Chancellor. We know they're friends, there's no way they haven't jammed....

[@djabthrash]

EZ drummer :)
Nice song demo tho' !

[@michaelharris8995]

Yesssssss i bet he dont hoop tho. Schedule too busy. I ball one Joe and Mario. I Dunk on yall PDC Mexico avenida 10 y calle 34 come see me beautiful music makers!!!!!!!

[@jooji2682]

do you have the original version of "The Wild Healer"?

[@defbizkit]

I wish

[@maureenwagg5305]

This is great like all Gojira related songs. It kind of sounds like it's being played under water. Does that make sense?

[@gojiraaaaaaa8]

buneyyyyyy

[@keaganjohnstone3481]

How do we know this isn’t just some dude that made this

[@defbizkit]

because the original person who posted it was there and had the original demo of Wild Healer from the same recording along with another track, as I said in the description, which came out right before Lenfant Sauvage. He had a bit of a story that went along with it, and you could tell it was Joes voice, and was recorded on the street outside a venue if I remember correctly. Lastly I have found the song on a few different sources, including Last.FM, with the same title etc. along with the radio channel I got it from. So I could ask them too if they have more info on it if it helps validate. But I believe its real after hearing the wild healer demo.

[@keaganjohnstone3481]

Wow good enough for me👍🏻 and I agree it does sound like joe and has some gojira vibes for sure. Just had to be sceptical

[@barbados1267]

That has to be Mario on the drums

[@defbizkit]

Could be Joe too though, he does play drums.

[@barbados1267]

@@defbizkitah didn’t know that

[@ihavewaited90daystochangem51]

Where dafuq did you find this, and when was this made?

[@defbizkit]

if I remember correctly, the original was posted sometime shortly after the release of The Way Of All Flesh, and I'm just remembering now, the third song was actually a demo for The Wild Healer

[@Arn._.]

@@defbizkit do you have that version of The Wild Healer? I'd love to hear it

[@defbizkit]

@@Arn._. I wish. But I am searching, hopefully someone who sees this will share it

[@Resh012]

this song was on joe du plantier myspace along with 2 others songs if my memorie is correct. he posted them before the way of all flesh was released. the wild healer was the other song and i can’t remember for the third… or even if there was a third to be honest 😅

[@defbizkit]

@@Resh012 yes like I said in the write up, except I didn't find them on his myspace, it was on youtube. The third song was 'new york' something or rather.
