Gojira The Gift Of Guilt Reaction!!! 

Gojira = instant thumbs up.

The Gift of Guilt is the guilt we inherit from our ancestors, we learn from their mistakes and become better people for it. In the same way that the sins of our past, things like wars, crusades, slavery, etc. has given us the wisdom to realize how bad these things are Gojira, being very conscious of current trends, is also pointing out that the environmental destruction we've cause is another atrocity that future generations will have to learn from.

this song is a masterpiece, thanks for your in-depth review. can't wait to see more gojira!!

Nobody ever checks explosia by gojira..!!! Honestly one of there best for me..!!!! Beastly

Another great Gojira reaction. I HIGHLY recommend their performance of Where Dragons Dwell Live at Hellfest 2013. You will be blown away by the quality and power.

This song can be about anything actually...this song makes me teary as it brings back a lot of things I still hold myself accountable for even if no one else blames me for it...I still do

"Stranded" got me into Gojira.... can't wait to hear more!

Wtf, I can't stop watching your reactions. I've been watching your videos the whole day, basically. Cheers from Brasil, guys.

Saw them live just this august for knotfest, they closed out their set with this song. I will unashamedly admit that when the outro kicked in, tears were straight streaming down my face. The music just feels so powerful and passionate, and really resonates with me for some reason.

I would love for you guys to listen to a whole Gojira Album like From Mars to Sirius, just like you did with lateralus. The songs tie together very well. Great video as always!

Great reactiom guys! I just regret that you didnt do the live version from Brixton Academy. It's muuuuuuuch better! Give it a listen sometime, even if it's off camera

My first contact with these guys was the live performance of this song in London, and it blew me away (the drums in particular). Just a very special song. Thanks for doing this one!

Gojira - Of Blood and Salt feat Devin Townsend

Dudes! Stop everything if you can, a hot discovery coming in right now! This is an experience of european iron age and viking era sounds in a stunning live performance! You might wanna get the cam rolling typing in either "Heilung | LIFA - Hamrer Hippyer LIVE" or "Heilung | LIFA - Alfadhirhaiti LIVE" into your youtube and get in the zone. This is exactly what I was talking about, when I mentioned the tribal history of sound! You've gotta listen to this! I can't stop doing it myself right now.

Great reaction. Love this song. Dig into more Gojira. They are different, in a very good way.

Sori was really feeling it in this song. You can just see it This band is just jaw droppingly good at hitting those feels

L'enfant means the child And sauvage means feral or savage (depending what they meant.. )Edit: wild is a better translation And l' is le but we take the e off when the name comming after it starts with a vowel it's like the n after the a in english when you got a vowel after it to make the pronounciation more fluid

Love this channel, halford silent screams from his solo album resurrection, rock on \m/

It might be possible to become perfect. I think I knew someone who was. It's hard to say with certainty though. Vin you seem like a fairly well read man. Carcass aren't for everyone, but since you like books and stuff I'll recommend them. Carcass - A Congealed Clot Of Blood

I'll echo what someone else already said. The live version from Brixton is incredible, as is Flying Whales, Heaviest Matter etc etc. That Brixton show is outstanding, both because of the performances themselves, and because the sound mixing is A+. A giant wall of sound that's so pleasing to the ear. Definitely you should check it out. Gojira are one of those rare bands that are even better live than on the record imo. I've seen them in person and they blow most bands away in a live setting. The scream on the word 'guilt' at the end of this song on the live version, is bone tingling. It makes you feel Joe's emotions while he sings it. This band gives me life. They do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. Great reaction as usual \m/

Great lyrical interpretation. Love how you guys always do great jobs extrapolating the meaning of songs.

This is my favourite track from L’Enfant Sauvage. That melody, that chorus. It’s sublime. I got to see them live while they were touring off this album and this song was the closer. Perfect way to end the show. The times I’ve seen them after that show the set list hasn’t featured much from this album (I think I got the title track but that’s all I can recall) which is a bit disappointing. I think L’Enfant as an album is a bit underrated considering how highly regarded From Mars and The Way Of All Flesh are.

I think Sori totally get it

I get so excited every time you guys post a video

I love your channel guys! First time commenting on any channel. You two definitely have Gojira covered so i won't request them but i do have plenty others. Job for a cowboy: Ruination, Cephalic Carnage: Touched by an angel, Nothingface: Here come the butchers, The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza: The alpha the omega, The Dillinger Escape Plan: Phone home, The Acacia Strain: Whaleshark, Rings of Saturn: Godless times, Suicide Silence: Disengage, Code Orange: The mud, Vildhjarta: Dagger, Iwrestledabearonce: Boat paddle, After the Burial: Lost in the static and The Faceless: Autotheist Movement 1 and 2. I believe the Faceless songs will start an interesting conversation. Keep up the good work!

I remember requesting this one back on I think, Flying Whales. And man. This song... Idc what its about. But it seems to portray the feeling of guilt. Like the music alone. Just the sound. The repeating alt tapping in the back, the feeling that repeats and repeats. Then the heavier chorus, where its those times that the guilt that feeling, just overwhelms you, and forces you into a ball on the floor. Also serving as your anger towards the feeling. And at the end of those song, that break, is you ending that... Every time i hear this song i get chills that have nothing to do with being cold. Loved the reaction guys! Vin seemed to feel it the same way i do. Just the epicness in the music itself. I cant help but follow the alt tapping with my fingers or aor drumming hahaha. This entire album is fucking world class to me. The best music i can think of. L'Enfant Sauvage. The title track. Is just purely awesome! Thats my vote for a next Gojira song!!!

One of my favorite songs of all time.

If you enjoy the eccentricity of Gojira and want to expand your horizons when it comes to music that is very heavily influenced by their foreign elements and different cultures you have to try Sigur Rós (from Iceland), namely their song "Hoppípolla". The emotion they bring out is unlike anything else you'll have ever felt.

"Building connective tissue to a maze of lies". Neurological connectivity being created by our nature of building our self image. Constant justification of our point of view which accommodates self image.

Another great reaction. Matt the drummer is insane. Every song is just flawless not matter if it’s a fast song or a slow one like Born in Winter. Always look forward to seeing new vids from you guys. I don’t get to them right away due to running a growing Security Company, spending time with my wife, running around with my almost 4 year old Twins, and taking care of a growing 3 month old, but when I do I always enjoy. Have a good one Bad Wolves all I am saying will not disappoint guaranteed

I know it's been requested a lot, but check out some Amon Amarth I recommend "Thousand Years of Oppression", ''Cry of the Black Birds", "Twilight of the Thundergod" or "The Pursuit of Vikings". All pretty good songs.

Do Stranded by Gojira you guys will love it.

Reign of darkness- Thy art is murder (music video) Land of snow and sorrow- Wintersun Carbon phrases- Alkaloid Crushed- Parkway Drive I'm gonna spam this on every video

You should listen the live at brixton academy of this one. The game of light with the power of this music live is just epic. And the scream of Joe at the end "THE GIFT OF GUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILT" is just so beautiful and full of meaning. Sorry for my english im very bad x)

This is such a great song. The whole album is astounding. I loved the discussion on guilt and what it does to a person. Guilt is a great motivator for change and in a lot of ways it can be the most powerful emotion of all. Honestly, I don't understand how people can be irritated that you come from a background where you didn't really get exposed to music growing up, Sori. One of my favorite things is introducing people to new music that they fall in love with. It's a fun challenge trying to read people and figure out what they'll like the most. There are SO many bands I'd love for you to listen to. Seriously, I could probably take up an entire week of throwing bands your way. One of my favorite things about this channel is watching you react because you really FEEL the music. It's the same way I approach listening to music. Don't let the negative nancys get you down. Keep that exuberance and openness to new music! Much love as always! -Jason

Gojira, OPETH , & Batushka are my favorite bands of all time & now y'all cover and talk about them more. May God bless you both and always have a successful RU-vid channel. You have my support!

One of my favourite Gojira songs!

Haven't heard this particular Gojira track, but I'm definitely diggin' it. DAMN solid stuff.

Love Gojira and this channel. One of the best reaction channels on RU-vid. Enjoy the lyrical analysis and interviews with the artists themselves. Pls react to Dream Theater - Learning to live/ the best of times (positive prog metal). Thanks guys!

Gojira - The Art Of Dying

Now listen to the live version from The Brixton Academy in London. It's amazing!

wintersun beautiful death!!! its so poetic and amazing

i think sori is absolutely right in her interpretation of the song. absolutely environmentally themed

I'm going to spam request Amon Amarth - Cry of the Blackbirds until it is done. EDIT: Because Twilight of the Thunder God may not be the best first listen upon recommendation of another fan and I would agree.

You guys have a healthy relationship. The way you two are able to communicate🙌 much love from Holland❤ love your content

Man I love Gojira.. They are definitely setting the Bar now..🤘

I'm blaming all the vids I've been lately watching of your channel for the funny dream I had last night. In my dream, some random dude asked me if I worshiped Satan. I laughed and told him that "when all is said and done, Lucifer and Yahweh will bow down before me!" So, at least I've got that going for me... which is nice! ;)

How about some Portuguese metal? The legendary Moonspell with songs like Extinct, Medusalem, Domina, Alma Mater, Luna, Shadow Sun, Scorpion Flower or even the ones in Portuguese, which would be very interesting to see. If you decide to check them out and need help with the translation... well, I'm Portuguese ahah Yet another great review, you guys! I was a bit absent from your videos but I'll be checking out more of your recent reviews ;)

Between The Buried And Me are kinda similar to Gojira, but older. BTBAM with Opeth and Gojira are kings of prog death metal. So... Do it! Songs - White Walls; Ants of the Sky

You guys are great. Listen to Gojira's deliverence or love they are heavy :). Rock it on.

I really dig Sori's take on this one. Dying planets seem like a very Gojira storyline

This is the first time im hearing this song. I cried, it's so beautiful

I love how Gojira create atmospheres in their songs, not just add cool riffs one after the other...they build the song as a hole, but make it with very different parts perfectly blended... Interview Joe Duplantier!! (by the way, they live in New York now...)

Gojira - The Fall. It's not one of their top songs but I'd loveee to see you guys react to it. There's an insanely interesting part in the middle with some of the craziest lyrics in any Gojira song, I'd love to see your analysis of them! Loved this one by the way 👌

Great video again! Thank you for having me go buy another I-tunes card , I am buying more music again!

My favorite song by these guys!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dissection - thorns of crimson death

Saw these guys about two weeks ago, absolutely killed it!

Love the conversation. You are not the only one Sori. Gojira really feel the music they play!

Flying Whales - Gojira Johnny Cash - Wage War Doomsday - Architects And the Snakes Start to Sing - Bring Me The Horizon Ruined Ends - Wovenwar The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country - Avatar May have already done a few of these, don't know as I started watching a few days ago. Just love seeing people hear metal tracks for the first time and love seeing yall jam during the tracks.

You're guys amazing! The best reactions in whole internet!

So heavy and intricate. Each song has so many elements that stay with you. Demands repeated listening. Melodic and powerful, also deeply focused.

My interpretation of the lyrics was pretty much identical to Sori's, but Vin's perspective is really interesting to me. In the end, I think both views make sense and I'm glad that such drastically different interpretations can be drawn from the same lyrics. "L'enfant Sauvage" means "the wild child", with "wild" as in feral, rather than unruly.

Gojira - Vacuity my fav...

I've watched a couple of your videos and they're pretty good. Please do more gojira reaction videos, I'd definitely subscribe for that!!

Did you know that no reaction channel has done any monster magnet yet? You could be the forerunners here, the trendsetters, and first movers. I think that spacelord will blow you away 😁

Love the channel. Favorite song by them. Also, please can you listen to Soilwork the momentary bliss! Forgot to add, congratulations to the 20k subscribers.

For the underground show. Either In De Naam Van De Duivel or The Possession Process by Carach Angren. They're a symphonic black metal band that writes their albums as horror stories. These two work as stand alone songs though. Think you guys will love em. In De Naam Van De Duivel's lyrics are english and it's dutch for in the name of the devil, but I don't think it's satanic enough to be on the blackfire show. And Babel's Gate by Septic Flesh. Symphonic Death metal and you'd get a kick out of the lyrics. Also you guys need to do the whole of Damnation And A Day by Cradle Of Filth. Best Cradle album in my opinion and the album tells the story of Satan before his fall all the way to his defeat. Seeing how you guys dissect this stuff is amazing.

My favorite metal band. You guys need to check out some of their live stuff. It really shows their talent.

FINALLY!! Great reaction to my favorite song!

Come on guys, Leprous - Slave (live at rockafella music Hall) One of most underrated prog metal bands. In the same circle as Opeth and Devin Townsend but totally unique.

Sounds just amazing live. Your headbanging is excellent.

La Dispute - King Park, I've already mentioned it but I'll keep trying because it's underground enough that I'll probably be the only person asking for it :D Loving all your work all the way from Bulgaria

I've been listening to metal for a long time now, and Gojira is my fave band, since hearing them back in the early 2000s. Each of their albums has been great, but seem to stand out from each other. True to their sound.. yet somehow unique. It's rare these days for a band to put out great album after great album. I got to finally see them live a few years ago, and it was absolutely amazing. They weren't the headliner though. I'd love to go catch them in Europe where they're a lot bigger.. that's a bit of a pipe dream though. Anyways, I scour RU-vid for reaction videos for Gojira.. each video is almost like getting a chance to listen to them again for the first time. Thanks for that!!

You guys should check out some Faith No More. They are one of the most influential bands from the late 80s and 90s. Mike Patton is arguably one of the best vocalists ever. You should react to "The Real Thing" off the album of the same name. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Please react to Vacuity by Gojira, you'll love it I promise you

Dude is very insightful. He hit it spot on. We build our self image through judgement and guilt becomes the trap that binds us from our full human potential.

Also another Suggestion I'd have would be Architects - Downfall, These Colours Don't Run, Broken Cross + The Devil is Near, Colony Collapse, Gravity or Gone With The Wind. Love these Guys so freakin much, hope to see ur reaction to one or two songs :D

A sight to behold. For a different sound from Gojira

As a conservation biologist, environmentalist and someone who works with these questions on a daily basis (environment agency), I'm with Sori on her interpretation - but again, this is the beauty of art, your experiences and frames of references will influence the interpretation of the message :) but again, doing what I do, Sori's interpretation makes total sense. I thought I'd offer some reflections that might help clarify how the environmental issues can come into it (now, of course, they might have had a completely different intent when writing the lyrics, but this is how I relate to it). I see the beginning as setting the scene, like when you are travelling by train or car and watch the landscape pass by, and you start thinking and contemplating life (as one does :) ). And as you watch nature pass by and you think about how our actions are affecting, changing and destroying more and more of it, you do feel pain. The way we in modern society live, and how we are currently basing our society and economies on constant growth is destructive. You cannot have infinite growth on ONE planet with finite resources, and we are trampling everything in our path to serve this "destructive intention that serves no purpose" other than the gratification of our desire to own more stuff - and it will be the end of us all. At the beginning of industrialisation, we didn't know any better, and we have been set on a path that is very hard for us who live in the present to break. Now that we know better, that we know the "sins" of our recent ancestors and our own, we have been given the gift of guilt, but even though we embrace this and suffer, we continue to destroy by simply maintaining our way of life. And we continue to add more and more people to this mix, under the assumption that magically, technological evolution will magically solve the problem of dwindling resources - despite what it means for all other non-human life on this planet. So many of us environmentalists in the modernised western society, do have a lot of guilt. We live in houses that are too big, drive too much, fly too much, eat too much meat, waste too much food, we have smartphones, and tablets, computers and gadgets, knowing full well that the mining of rare minerals required for all this is wreaking havoc on both environment and third world communities, but we are in a catch-22 where our society relies on access to all this technology to work, pay bills and function, but it will also be our undoing. Our soils, where we are growing our foods, are becoming degraded and depleted and there will, in the not very distant future, not be enough nutrient and minerals in the soil to grow crops (no, seriously, check out the International Panel on Biodiversity and Environmental Sustainability report published this year...), we are polluting our fresh water sources - the support system of human existence as we know it is dwindling and we are taking so many other species with us on our path to destruction. So yes, we will be left as starving orphans, the vital core gone. Evidence of our sins is available everywhere we turn. But it does become overwhelming. You cannot function in your daily life with all this hanging over you. So you have to forgive yourself for all the wrongs you are inevitably doing, which is based in love for your family, friends - you want what is best for them and for yourself, which is unfortunately often connected in materialism and over-consumption. Breaking the cycle is incredibly difficult, and we need to be able to forgive ourselves from failing to do so, but to keep trying nonetheless.

"Gojira - Stranded" next please! :)

Gojira - Love

great reaction,song suggestion for next Gojira reaction - Liquid Fire, another masterpiece by them,awesome lyrics and sound.

As everyone else has mentioned, Where Dragons Dwell LIVE at HELLFEST 2013. It must be this version, however, and I hope you will see to it soon. Also "Clone" should be done also.

Gojira - Oroborus Gojira - Love

Timely and accurate guilt is a great force for learning. You can dissect an action where you let yourself or someone else down, and figure out why. You can figure out how to do better next time. Guilt can allow us to try and make amends if that's possible. If you've done all that can be done, understood what can be understood, but you're still guilty, that's when it becomes a problem.

Gojira - All the tears & Art Of Dying. Powerful lyrics, I always cry.

HELLYEAH!!!! This song is so sick. 2 of my request in that past like 3 or 4 vids. Thanks Ya'll

Top 3 Gojira song for me. So powerfully delivered.

Epica - Kingdom of Heaven. You really need some Symphonic metal in your life.

L'enfant Sauvage means literally "The Wild Child" and refers to a 1970 French movie of the same name. It depicts a child who is raised alone in the forest and his struggles to adapt to human culture, language and interactions. Gojira's title-track from the album is directly related to that story, oh, btw, the movie is actually based on a real story, from a real child who lived in the forest for about 12 years. You guys check this movie out, it's pretty deep.

Hey Hey! How about Gojira, Devin Townsend and Meshuggah guitarist collab song called 'of blood and salt'?

You guys are wonderful! Highly suggest The Dali Thundering Concept- The Myth of Happiness

What a great song and great reaction! Well done and much

Well, I got a great gift once: An album called, "Annihilation of the Wicked", by Nile. The title song is great, Sori will love it for it's ancient Egyptian aspects (Ok, I know that I keep spamming this, but... If this is how it works... Sparky will not stop me ;). Great points of view, especially with the kids part. Well, I wish you all the best and cool summers (I'm being roasted alive while typing).

There is just something about this band that draws me in!

Gojira is love Gojira is the hero we need

The lead singer and drummer are brothers Joseph and Mario Duplantier. Both amazing artists. Gojira- Toxic Garbage Island (live)

23:40 yh thats shame or humility and is essentially another gift as Vin see's it and it works similarly and has good productive ways of being explained and countered and bad self corupting ways of being taken

Nice job. J'adore Gojira. Bravo pour votre réaction.
