@@rezei You'd still have to buy a ticket though hahah. But you can't buy it with today's money, or they might find out that it's future money and you might fuck up the whole time continuum. So you'd have to find a work place. At least _some_ type of job to do in Bordeaux. In 2009. Or you could rob someone too. But - You'd most definitely fuck with the present world, and everybody would have no clue that it was you all along, but hey, if I could, I'd do it too. No brainer. Hit me up when time machines are available and we'll split up the blame. Greets
@@qwerty.4450 all of it sounds so good man. if i get a time machine, im spending a lovely febuary evening in Bordeaux. especially vocalswise, this is better then the studio versions
I can't take my eyes and ears off this band. The more I watch, the more I get sucked into everything that they are offering. Truly the greatest metal band out there
One of the things that sets gojira above opeth for me. Opeth makes amazing, extravagant songs but they have to go to great lengths to get a lot of their songs to sound as good live. Gojira effortlessly destroy their studio versions which says a lot considering how amazing their albums are.
That shit blows me away. Like is it intentional to make their live shows better? All the old concerts I watch his voice sounds way more powerful than the records
@ObviouslyKieran I saw them this past summer and honestly I feel really bad for Joe. Idk if it was a bad day but his voice almost wasnt there, I could hear him struggling and I felt so awful for him
Ramadon Steve His vocals have been inhumanely consistent throughout most of Gojira’s career but I believe being on the road for too long will eventually do that to your voice ,he just needs to give his voice the proper rest it needs.
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas In a interview, Joe said he is trying to expand his vocals to other ways. He might no be practicing the distortion or throat singing, so it hurts to him. See he singing Silvera at 2018 in Poland, he still sings the shit out of him like a chad, but with other tecnic.
This period when TWOAF came out, Joe had the most mature, strong, and harsh low/high pitch screams. Anyone who's following this band can feel the difference in his screams now and then. In this live video, you can HEAR the anger and craving for glory. Well, they deserved it....
I think his vocals during TWOAF era were the peak of his career. So dynamic and raw. He can still tap into it sometimes like during Silvera but for the most part it’s gone.
I think about this often, it still sends chills throughout my whole body at the end of the way of all flesh when he screams “you are leaving this world” his vocals are just so unique and I personally don’t know of anyone else who can sing like him.
Joe said himself his vocal tone change through the years because of aging ..he lost a bit of that raspyness ..he is human after all ..i don't know any singer who has the same voice during his entire life
@@Drumsnelson93 same but 2012. Wish I heard this before. They were playing with Metallica in Belgrade, bought the tickets to see Metallica, but got amazed by their live performance. I played Vacuity night before the concert just to check on them. Since then........................
There are no existing words that can describe "The art of dying". Masterpiece is the the only one close. Thank you Gojira and play this song live again.
Holy shit, I know! Every time I listen to it, It stops me dead in my tracks taking my full attention and and makes me feel emotions I never thought possible. Absolutely fucking ethereal 🤯
i have watched this probably 100 times already. not exaggerating and it still gives me insane chills. joes voice is just fucking empowering and moving. love this band
@@alsabo1706 I love Vinnie, may he rest in peace but if you think Vinnie ever played half this stuff with half as much feel as Mario you need to take a step back and look at each band's songs. Like have you seen toxic garbage island?
The Chuck Schuldiner presence joe has here is real. Guitar positioning, hair, pose, vocal style, everything about joe emulates chuck to me. It’s fucking awesome
Unfortunately Joe has burnt himself out quite a bit doing it, its visible he struggles recently and tries to save voice as much as possible, even said it in interviews
the second verse man..."lost, I found there a stone, erected in line, with one of the brightest stars in all the night sky vault, and i took my time, took off the moss, and washed away the dust..." I got chills just writing that. lol
Yeah for sure real. Also my fav band. I discovered them 2 years ago and fell in love with their music. These guys have a special uniqueness about them and they bring something special to the metal genre. Gojira is on a different level. I don't say that to put them on a pedestal above the rest. They just have this dynamic way of delivering their music with power and feeling and emotion to the listeners ear in a Sonic brilliance that is unique to only them as a band. My son and I were getting ready to see them live for the first time in May and this virus crap has halted everything. Maybe one day. Sorry for the long winded reply but your post caught my attention. 🤘🏻👀🤘🏻
@@damonjohnson8337 Nothing unique about them. All they do is rip off Morbid Angel. Listen to Formulas Fatal to the Flesh and tell me these French posers didn't take that album and leech off it.
@@rowhaus5478 Sure I can see the influence from them for certain parts of their very first album, but I listened to that Morbid Angel album and it's just blast beats and skank beats every song. Both great albums, but the albums sound completely different. Bands are allowed to have influences.
Mario is the very definition of tightness, power and groove. There's a ton of subtlety in his grace notes and his economy of movement is graceful but hits like a cannon. His style is truly his own. One of the very best to ever sit the throne in metal.
i feel like it’s rare you ever see a live performance as utterly perfect and well mixed as this. every little detail about this is perfection. every single second of this is the band firing on all cylinders and just absolutely tearing the roof off the place. this is really special. Gojira is something else.
The sound mixing in this show was insane, guitars sound amazing, bass is extremely audible and clear, drums sound amazing and the vocals are perfect, genuinely the best mixing I've ever heard from any live concert
I agree 100% I thought I was stuck with slayer love of the past (find their satanic act getting old, mostly listening to undisputed attitude) and acid bath (still listening to this obscure band-they rock a couple songs like a motherfucker; doctor suess is dead, Cassie eats cockroaches). I listen to minor threat every once in awhile but that's punk. Recent metal sounded more like the midget that plays in the leprechaun movies than serious aggression to me. Now I have gojira and couldn't be happier discovering every live gem I can.
Being a drummer I love seeing how Mario does it live. He's such a classy drummer and plays in those gaps you wouldn't expect a drummer to play live. It probably helps that he has such a close connection to his brother, so they can play so tightly and so effortlessly. Much respect for that and Gojira. Hails
Monkeyz73 like everybody they’re getting older, joe spent more than two decades screaming and growling , so i understand that he wants to explore more melodic vocals , also with the age it’s maybe more demanding to scream like the good old days. But honestly , he is still awesome.
TCB * Corey Taylor didn’t use technique for like the first 3 albums. The first two were legit just him yelling. The 3rd was just impossible to use technique for
You can tell Joe never had any proper training singing or especially screaming it was all power and what his vocal chords/throat would create and what his age allowed. Age has caught up with him for sure but they are making it work. It can be difficult for all of us newer fans who are watching shows from 10 years ago because we have major envy because I never knew this band existed back then and we cant get 2009 Gojira when they were younger and crazier but theyre still an awesome band. You just have to like who they are now.
Yes!!!! The energy!!! Saw them in Asheville NC two years ago. 500 people. They were so into it, feeding off the crowd. Mario is super chill, and Jean Michel was very cool, high fiving everyone. Great band, but more importantly great people!!!
I've finally figured out the insane intro to The Art of Dying! 3 bars of 45/4 8 bars of 4/4 1 bar 45/4 1 bar 6/4 1 bar 45/4 1 bar 6/4 1 bar 45/4 Sorry for being a nerd.
I have been a Gojira fan since l'Enfant Sauvage and I swear I don't know why it took so long for me to watch this show but I have to say that this has to be one of the best live performance I have seen in my life. I fucking love these guys.
“The Flesh Alive” and “The Link Alive” are they’re best live performances. IMO. The vocals are so raw and satisfying plus the sound engineering is just brutal.
This is the easily one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. Discovering these guys is bringing back memories of when I first heard DEATH back in high school. Unreal.
When you can't sleep, this live is the best world to travel to, with its blueish atmosphere, soulful drum beats, blood-string bass vibration and sharp guitar riffs. Just pshewwwww.......🌑🐋
Jeff the killer Through arytenoid cartilage activation, it's not through a vocoder. hold a hum, then try to breathe out more through the nose while holding the hum, you should start getting that kind of tone, it doesn't hurt at all but you'll probably do it wrong a couple of times before getting it right. Or just try imitating a car revving engine. After that you can try opening your mouth and singing, first get it through a hum.
I saw Gojira as early as 2007, from that point I saw them everytime they came to Texas. My main regret is not buying a bunch of Mario’s art. It was prints and originals on the merch table and you could literally flip through them. For like $30-$75 and up. 😢
I met Danny Carrey in an elevator at pike 3 in the morning - on my way back with a milkshake - he walks in with a buddy and as soon as the doors closed i intrudced myself and he was corgial - didnt ask for a pic - told him im seeing you play for the first time tomorrow - he goes right on man
I mean, everyone is wearing black, but honestly it's like three guys and an Olympic swimmer hopped onstage and started playing some of the greatest songs ever.
Franchement un des meilleurs set de Gojira. Enorme !! notamment from the sky, j'ai mal au molets pour mario. Dommage qu'ils ne soient plus dans ce délire aujourd'hui mais ils auront apporté leur pierre à l'édifice du metal. Longue vie à eux.
Gojira is the best band of all time! Not just metal, any fucking genre. All you have to do is read their comments sections to see that I'm not the only one that feels this way. All hail Mighty Gojira!!!
All of the other camera angles, chilllll. Crowd camera angle, crowd owns it now. If only every metal fan on planet earth had the chance to be there. World peace achieved.
Peak Gojira youthful ferocity - 10 ton crushing hammer, kicking zee balls clean off. To me, 1st band since Pantera to properly evolve metal forward. How ridiculously heavy is this album?? * Recommend Gojira live at Garorock
