Old Composer REACTS to Gojira Born In Winter | Reaction and Breakdown 

"Art of Dying" - Gojira is a must! Commenting for the algorithm.

This song is a masterpiece. Writing, production and mixing is just perfect

Dude, yes! Check out "The Art Of Dying" as your next Gojira song, you won't regret

"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.

🤙🤙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!🤙🤙

"Flying Whales" is Gojira masterclass. Enjoy the week off, man.

I LOVE their song "the gift of guilt" and i think it got some nice changes you might like aswell.

The Art Of Dying is the song we need the Geebz to experience.

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.

Dude that first pause absolutely killed me. Talk about blue balls 😫

"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

Vacuity is the track that fully locked me into these guys. Still gives me "goose flesh".

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

Yo, You should check out Esoteric Surgery by Gojira that's such a good song

Not enough people react to / discover this track. It's unarguably one of their most breathtaking pieces.

Always a good time. You're humor isn't stupid, its goofy and kind! We love it brother!

Never clicked so fast!! Love this song in it's artist form!

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’s Art Of Dying is an absolute masterpiece. Highly recommend this one.

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.

Leprous - Forced entry or The sky is red

One of my top 3 Gojira songs. This band is on another level.

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.

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'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.

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.

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..."

"this feels like a good place to stop" Narrator: it wasn't

You should check out Ghost of Perdition from Opeth. The more of your reactions I watch the more I think you'll really dig it.

The Art of Dying by Gojira is damn near a perfect song.

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.

Yisss Gojira!!!! Seconding and thirding and repeating, Art of Dying!!!

You know it's good when he instantly gets out his pen write lol

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

Gojira- Toxic Garbage Island. Amazing track, I would love to see your reaction

"The gift of guilt" Live at Brixton Academy is a must !

This expert writing this holy message is giving you a name, pray extended version ;) or where dragons dwell I dare u to listen

I would love if you checked out- Opeth “Ghost of Perdition” . They have a lot of great songs that would be fun to review😊

I would love to see a reaction to The Art of Dying!! This is the best reaction channel going Imo 👍

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 live version of The Gift of Guilt - it's stunning. And better than the version on the LP.

Great song! Another one like that by Gojira is Global Warming, you should check that out

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!

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 MORE GOJIRA! Geebz, I would be elated and forever happy if you did a decomposition of "Marianas Trench" by August Burns Red! I think they would be right up your alley. Particularly Matt's drumming. Love your videos!

It wasn't a good time to stop. Haha

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.

Please check the art of dying, it's a masterpiece 🙏😄

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.

“How to Disappear Completely” by Radiohead please! Also, “Palace Posy” by Boards of Canada

Mario Duplantier is the drummer (he’s actually the singer’s brother) and he’s an absolute mad man. He does a lot of those ghost notes in their song "Global Warming" and I suggest you check out the song "The Art Of Dying" where his drumming is just incredible.

Do Sleep Token! They're a completely new and different sound! "The Offering" "Nazareth" "Jaws" they're all great! 💜✌️

I'd personally recommend Global Warming (live in the studio) next ! Gojira are our French national pride ! :)

oh man, that cup placement is making me anxious, please be careful (:O

Nearly pushed my finger through the phone to play this.

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

"Goobering over the drummer" is what everyone does when they listen to Gojira. Also you have a lot of requests in the comments so far for "The Art of Dying" and "Flying Whales" but you really can't go wrong with any Gojira song, they're all pretty epic, so I'll go ahead and recommend (keep in mind they're French so some song titles will be French) The Axe, To Sirius, The Heaviest Matter in the Universe, L'Enfant Sauvage, Vacuity, Liquid Fire, I Embrace the World, The Gift of Guilt, Ocean Planet, Toxic Garbage Island, From the Sky, Where Dragons Dwell, Explosia, In the Wilderness, Stranded, Low lands (this song is about the singer & drummers mother who passed away when they began recording the album Magma) you can get to any (or none! listen at your own pace or try more new bands) whenever you get around to it, no rush.

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.

Wow, Gojira always delivers. Could you please do "The Night and Shade of Things" By Fates Warning. There is an official live version you will love, but the audio version is perfect, of course. Please, please?

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.

The Art of Dying! Oh, you’ll love it. Thanks for aways putting out great content. Pulled over on my way home from work just to watch this 🤟🏼

I have a great band that no one has heard of but known out west. Please Geebz play DREDG-BUG EYES. They are prog/avangart. The vocalist is angelic.Each one of their albums is a complete thought. They have a lyric that is deep as all their material is also. " Why are babies born where people go to die". They use many sounds into a feedback into a song.Please look at them. Thanks!

Fellow surfer and metal lover! Love your reactions. Please check out Mr Bungle and Faith no more- or anything by Mike Patton. Would love to get your thoughts on him!! Aloha!!

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". 😎

One of my favorite basslines from Gojira. Simple with technicality sprinkled in. Very fun

To me, All the Tears is one of the most badass songs they've composed. That would be a good one to break down.

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.

Check out Gojira-Lowlands next time!

Id like to propose a challenge that might be a little bit long, yet amazing Jotunheim - Moonsorrow

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 🤘

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.

No, you aren't wrong, it is taking chances vs the safe route, which I think too many bands take the safe route these days. Gojira stands out because they consistently do not choose the safe route!

Wondering when you'd get here... too many great songs by this band.

Any plans to do the song they just released a few days ago? It's called Born For One Thing and it's such a good song.

React to Textures - Awake, I think you're going to like it a lot. Cheers from Spain!

The next one you should do is HEILUNG. They are Old Norse Metal band. That's what they brand it as.

It’d be cool to see what you’d have to say about Within the Ruins’ song “Domination”. Always interested in hearing your observations. Blessings, my dude. 🤙🏻 Also: still here! And I won’t stop commenting this until you finally do it! 😁

Vocal track layering is common in metal. You'll here screams over singing, layered underneath and more.

More Gojira!

Gojira is great at teasing you into thinking this time it's gonna be a full blown metal ballad but it never is.

Opeth, A Fair Judgement 😜

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!

Flying whales require your attention!!!

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

Such a good breakdown. This song is something special.

the only sin in this song is that is waaaay to short, way to short...

Could you do Cubensis by Intronaut?

I love all of Gojira's music,but my favorite song by them has got to be Global Warming;something about that particular track truly stirs and awakens a part in my soul.

Try "Dimensional Bleedthrough" by Krallice

Gojira!!!!! One of my favorite bands.

Gojira is an awesome experience

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.

spawn of possession - apparition

Gojira - The Art Of Dying. Its like wine. You can teaste now and go forward. But you teaste again in a years and you will absolutly love it. Sorry about my bad english. Hope someone undestend what im trying to say. :P

Hell yeah man! I suggested this song! (Or was potentially one of many) This is such a good one from them.

Never even hear of this band.....I LIKE I LIKE🤙🌠🌙

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

Gojira will always make u pick up the pencil in the first 10 seconds haha would love to see the art of dying, flying whales, oroborus, vacuity, gift of guilt, basicaly just keep doing more gojira, theyre such an amazing band!

“Goobering over the drummer” is exactly the right thing to do when it comes to Mario Duplantier.
