Didn't think about it until reading this, but I think I have to agree with you. That's saying a lot, but they're so unique, influential, and skilled that I'd be hard pressed to disagree with you.
I'm 44 and metallica were gods to me as a teen. Gojira is my new favorite band. they remind me today of what metallica was doing back in the 80's. there is just no other band doing what these guys are doing to the level they are doing it right now. I can't get enough of them. on another note, this crowd is total shit!
alan kay agreed. Same here. I'm 43 and these guys blow me away. Lol Their live performances are just amazing. Such consistency and quality sound. So talented. Metallica back in the day couldn't be touched and this is how Gojira is now. Good stuff. 🤘
+Carlos A. Redondo Let's just say he is the one that makes the Whales Fly... the one that fills the Island with Toxic Garbage... He puts the Matter in the Universe..... lol idk
+Carlos A. Redondo Introducing Mario Duplantier... One of the all time greatest drummers in all the history of metal. The Duplantier brothers give me chills every time I listen to Gojira. My favorite band of all time.
Yeah, it's not just the complexity of his drum parts, which are so freaking tasteful and interesting, it's not just the precision of his hits, which is astounding, it's the way Mario has found to make these heavy beats sound so unique and instantly recognizable. Truly we are seeing a master in his prime. He's found a way to stand out in an overly saturated crowd of modern metal drummers.
+Richard Handler yep. most metal band live shows are shit compared to gojira in my opinion. especially when you speak of vocal quality. they do an amazing job in giving you everything you expect and more. simply put they are amazing artists and stand out among all others
dyvrsI the only band I could remember to sound as good as they do on their studio recorded stuff is a Swedish "melodic death metal" band named "Avatar".their really good live,maybe check them out if you haven't already
I'll never forget. Went to an In Flames show. Actually got there early enough to listen to the opening acts. After 1 minute of listening to Gojira. I was amazed.
That extended into to Oroborus at 43:30 is simply amazing. Gojira tends to do this at live shows. They embellish studio versions and make them so much more than the sum of their parts - the mark of a truely brilliant band. I cannot speak highly enough of Gojira. \m/
@El J Ambulan-T There's a bit of Low lands in the drum at the beginning, but then when Joe enters he's playing the main riff of the song Magma (a bit differently than in the album)
RUclips suggested this video. All i can say as a old metal head Gojira kick ass. over the years i have tried to listen to lots of new metal, but most of it sucks. This band is fresh and talented. I love the way they mix genres of metal. i hear death , speed, grindcore and a little punk. Got to check this band out live next time they come to Cali.
Just got into Gojira this week... from a shirt Matt Heafy was wearing... best thing I've found since Trivium last year. This stuff is the best gym music, so damn good.
Denver Dubtle Not everyone feels the music the same way. Some people need to dance and some people need to slam desguised as a banana to appreciate the music...
Gojira's style of songwriting and the feeling they are able to create are just out of this world!! beyond human kind's capability!!! It's the reborn of Metal/heavy music but in a different style this time, this is the new era!!!! this is the future !!!!
+Willian Lima a maioria das pessoas costumam se importar mais com metallica, isso e verdade, mas nao me lembro da ultima vez que vi alguem aqui falando do maiden, o que acho triste,na verdade falta gente gostando de musica sem ser funk novo...
Man seeing Jean-Michel going fucking nuts never gets old. Not to mention Mario's skill, Joe's energy, or Christian's composure and groove. Gojira is the best live show I've ever been to, hands down. Fucking love these guys, absolute legends.
I saw them on tour with alter bridge in Manchester last year. They only played about 4-5 songs but I could hardly hear out of one ear after their set was done, was fucking awesome! Have a great time guys!
Believe it or not, Gojira are *this good* at every. fucking. show. Saw them live at least 7 times, in venues small or big, and they're absurdly consistent and always fucking deliver. (I saw them for the first time in early 2009 for "The Way of All Flesh")
the guitar work the fucking badass drumming th vocals.hands down there is no band on earth can compete with there live ability to perform and sound like there album's if not better love you Gojira!
I would argue that L’enfant Sauvage is one of the best orchestrated metal songs of all time. Raw emotion in the vocals, simple guitar parts but incredibly heavy, drums that feel impossible to play yet add an unnatural amount of heavy to the song.. then that last riff with the straight double bass is just pure perfection. Gojira for life.
Márcio Mastodon - O Gamer haha yes i see. i think it's a better show when it's night time. people tend to care less in the dark and therefore everyone goes crazy, especially if drunk :D.
they positively rock it is so amazing how they give their 110% to their fans such an astonishing band . joe seems tired on vacuity , however it gives more strenght to this song . fucking love this band

There by is no Metal if not for Metallica
@Resurrection Fest. I can't wait to see Gojira soon, I am happy that they are headlining the festival this year.
For me, Gojira and such a special and unique band and one of the most important bands in metal today.
You speak the truth kind sir
Barney Gumble is a crackhead🚄
+Mark McKeown Cattle Decap has a crazy good message too.

Gojira and Tool 😍

His voice is so fucking perfect
One of the best, if not best metal singers there is.
Troy Sanders ftw
unique

Mario Duplantier is the most underrated drummer I've ever seen
+popeluigi How is he underrated? He won some contests of top metal drumers and gets a lot recognition
+Aergios Still not the amount of recognition he deserves
But still he's right
Guy is a beast drummer
5 years ago maybe, now (2021) He is on the top.
They replicate their studio sound so fantastically on stage, what an outstanding and powerful performance
+Richard Handler yep. most metal band live shows are shit compared to gojira in my opinion. especially when you speak of vocal quality. they do an amazing job in giving you everything you expect and more. simply put they are amazing artists and stand out among all others

Richard Handler got that right brother
slipknot forever Love to see that more and more people know this band ! They're awsome
Explosia actually sounds better live
"muchas fucking gracias" xD
+Tomé Silva Great Spanglish!
Muy fucking bien!
en what momento paso that?
31:25
Tomé Silva para ser extranjero pronuncio bien el español
I'll never forget. Went to an In Flames show. Actually got there early enough to listen to the opening acts. After 1 minute of listening to Gojira. I was amazed.
Brian Mirabile in flames and gojira are 2 of my favorite bands. unfortunately i live at shitland so no way for me to go to these show
Gojira is the only band that can make being a hippie seem badass.
That extended into to Oroborus at 43:30 is simply amazing. Gojira tends to do this at live shows. They embellish studio versions and make them so much more than the sum of their parts - the mark of a truely brilliant band. I cannot speak highly enough of Gojira. \m/
That intro I was talking about grew into what is now the title track on the new album... "Magma". Amazing.
@@joe99173122 i was about to make a comment about this while watching how that sounded like magma haha. glad you pointed that out
33:21 wtf the drum base went totally bananas
I heard that too
X3
What the actual!? 😱
I'm surprised it didn't happen in Bleed
42:58 Can you hear how Magma was already taking shape?
@El J Ambulan-T There's a bit of Low lands in the drum at the beginning, but then when Joe enters he's playing the main riff of the song Magma (a bit differently than in the album)
Totally

the bands lyrics are.actually very spiritual, regardless of how brutal it may sound at times.

Gonzalo Chairez ok thanks
+Hearty Oatmeal Check out Rotting Christ, Meshuggah, At the Gates... they are all different in their own way, but you might like their stuff.
Jordi Solsona ok thanks
+Hearty Oatmeal That's awesome. Both great bands
Giruga x Hakusho ok thanks
27:50 fucking bananas
+Denver Dubtle Bananas never changes...
Azertag im just so done with bananas at the moment
Denver Dubtle Not everyone feels the music the same way. Some people need to dance and some people need to slam desguised as a banana to appreciate the music...
'instant head-bang behind my laptop screen" \mm/
***** hahahahaahah i feel u man , i was headbanging and i hitted the laptop xd
hahahah be carefull man :D
Gojira's style of songwriting and the feeling they are able to create are just out of this world!! beyond human kind's capability!!! It's the reborn of Metal/heavy music but in a different style this time, this is the new era!!!! this is the future !!!!
Just saw them about 3 days ago in Turkey.They put up up a hell of a show here but our country dosnt give a shit about these good bands.
+Dimebag Darrell Same in Brazil. People only care about Metallica and Iron Maiden, basically.
+Willian Lima a maioria das pessoas costumam se importar mais com metallica, isso e verdade, mas nao me lembro da ultima vez que vi alguem aqui falando do maiden, o que acho triste,na verdade falta gente gostando de musica sem ser funk novo...

Man seeing Jean-Michel going fucking nuts never gets old. Not to mention Mario's skill, Joe's energy, or Christian's composure and groove. Gojira is the best live show I've ever been to, hands down. Fucking love these guys, absolute legends.
Seeing these guys in March '17 for their UK tour. Absolutely cannot wait!!
Same here dude ! LEEDS 16/03 fucking psyched man .GOJIRA FUCKING RULES
+Axel the Frank dude I'm going to Leeds too! Fuckin pumped!
I saw them on tour with alter bridge in Manchester last year. They only played about 4-5 songs but I could hardly hear out of one ear after their set was done, was fucking awesome! Have a great time guys!
Toxic Garbage Island is such a badass song, and socially conscious to boot! Great band!
One of the best live metal bands/metal bands in general alive today!
Gojira where have you been all my life
Love the Guy in a pink bunny wunzee, with flappy ears. fits in so well
haha.. there is a banana one too.
Chong Green And a flamenco dancer guy jajajja
Believe it or not, Gojira are *this good* at every. fucking. show. Saw them live at least 7 times, in venues small or big, and they're absurdly consistent and always fucking deliver.
(I saw them for the first time in early 2009 for "The Way of All Flesh")
OMG ! Is the drummer an alien ? The best Metal band I ever heard, no doubt. Thanks 4 share !
No sé que esperan para venir a México, los deseamos tanto, tanto.
Mayte HD Absolutely!
the guitar work the fucking badass drumming th vocals.hands down there is no band on earth can compete with there live ability to perform and sound like there album's if not better love you Gojira!
I love this vid so much-the power,the audience-just amazing. Gojira !!!

this led to me downloading all their albums
ElectroWench aren't you now completely addicted
One of their best live performances.
backbone sent shiver down my spine on so many ways
_Habre visto este concierto decenas de veces y no me canso de verlo , brutal!!!!
18:35 xdd aguy broke his neck in the middle left
They are all great musicians. The drummer is incredible, a fucking machine.
damn it. whats with the shy crowd :O? i feel like gojira deserves a better feedback!
Toni Šertović well i was wrong. should not have commented halfway through the video. VACUITY FUCKIN AWESOME!!!
Toni Šertović It was raining the whole day, they just needed some warming up. ;)
Toni Šertović The concert in Vagos was much better. All the crowd was insane, and the rain didnt stop the whole concert.
Resurrection Fest In Vagos was rain all the Gojira concert, and the crowd was much better. Mosh from the 1st minute to the end.
Márcio Mastodon - O Gamer haha yes i see. i think it's a better show when it's night time. people tend to care less in the dark and therefore everyone goes crazy, especially if drunk :D.
55:43 rip joe's guitar haha
I just noticed that too... What the fuck??
pancakesimone Nah he's probably throwing it to a roadie.
John Doe It would suck to be that guy, what if you drop his guitar? Joe seems nice and all, but...
Gojira is literally the soundtrack of my dreams.
JOe is a fucking minimalist genius. Oroborus is a master piece. Simple and beautyfull. This is ART, a brutal and powerfull art.
Increiblemente buenos joder!!
What a well mixed show!
Such a great band. They are very unique
The guy with the banana suit has the right idea xD
If it was Opeth's mikael he'd say: the guy with the banana fuck off there
I agree that they are performing great but you definitely have to give props to sound engineering here. One of the best I heard live!
The right hand technique quality of these guys is out of this world..
What a show..
Love the crowd's energy.
No. Cell. Phones. 👍
Amazing show , amazing crowd, amazing band.
Now that's how you perform a metal gig. I love their enthusiam. Gojira are one of a kind!
Mario's snare drum sounds like a cannon!! gotta love it!
Man I think that’s his feet 🦶!
The Mario's spanish twin at 22:17 lol
I was here!!!! really amazing!!!
By far one of the most underrated bands, these guys fucking kick ass! They should have the most fans out of any other band.
Quarantine has me so restless that I'm about to mosh from watching this
There one of the most underrated bands ever and vacuity is one of those songs that makes me want to lose my shit lol
Markodon Underrated? They're a household name in metal and critically acclaimed.
***** Yes really.
Allen Vrabac not enough.
Top 5 best live bands of all time
Puta madre, lo mejor, #Gojira rocks!
Holy farking sheit!!!!! My favorite band tearing it up!!!! Awesome....simply awesome.

Kinda sick how close the jam at the end of Toxic Garbage Island sounds to Magma before that album was even released!
