One of Joe duplantier's favorite albums of all time is "symbolic" and "human" from DEATH. You can see the influence from that band in the music and i love it.
@@thedudethatplaysguitar9882 so damn true! Glad the band I was in, always took over the mixing at the shows we did because the sound guys barely had me in the pa. One show I remembered my singer told the guy that we needed the bass to be heard because everyone needed to hear the shit I was playing. I mean, I was compared to Ryno many a times. Which is funny because I did live 2 cities from the guy before they got signed on.
The faces Joe pulls at the start of The Heaviest Matter of the Universe are exactly the ones I pull listening to it, behind my laptop, with my headphones, and my girlfriend beside me contemplating if we should really get married. \m/
@@gatinho6248 considering he is doing that since 96 ..his voice is still prety good , sure some recent live his voice is tired , because you know he is older , doing a concert every two days can be tiring if you don't have enough rest , air conditionning all that stuff...but honestly it's still pretty good
@@aaronkapustinsky6062 I need to make it a point to see them. I'd love to see them tour with sylosis, devildriver, and trivium. I would hafta see a chiropractor if that eargasm ever happened.
@@wessmith3204 I've seen Gojira, DevilDriver, and Trivium all on separate occasions. Gojira and Lamb of God tie for my 2 most awesome live experiences, coupled with some amazing acid.
The drummer reminds me of Nick Menza Rust In Peace era. His mannerisms, gloves and everything. I stopped listening to metal for 5 years and just came back to this. Holy crap metal is evolving quickly. When i was playing Opeth on drums I thought that was complex. This is mind blowing
1gbayfisher Check out Elliott Hoffman from Car Bomb. They toured with Gojira a couple times and he is absolutely insane. He's like Tomas Haake and a drum machine had a baby that grew up and developed a taste for LSD
The fact that people comment on how "fake" Joe's voice sounds live just proves how FUCKING GOOD he is. Literally anyone with ears that work can tell that his cadence on certain words is different than the album versions. Both songs were fucking incredible 🤘🏻
That is just a good mic. This guys are SUPERB live, I saw them in a festival here in Santiago where play with Lamb of God, Deftones , Faith No More and System of a Down (just to name the most populars bands) anda they were, by far, the most heavy sound, they literally move the ground.
Saw Gojira with Opeth last year. I cried twice at how absolutely beautiful it was. Joe is such a god. The whole band is so talented, and its awesome to see them back in their prime, even if they are still great today.
this is the best thing ive seen in done in metal in a while. major props for emotion, performance and overall greatness that Gojira is. hands down the best metal band of new metal era
The only bad thing about this video is how it's edited. They're a prog metal band, they're not a punk rock band. The performance, however, was absolutely phenomenal 1000/10 :D
It's well done and effective, and also why it comes across so powerful. Which is why when bands become mega huge they use screens and full production crew to project the performance with cuts and pans and effects onto the screens in a way that gives it movement and makes it more exciting than it is. IE: Metallica has been doing it for decades and they pack stadiums wherever they go.
The heaviest matter in the universe is one the the heaviest songs ever!! I'm amazed by the amount of people that have never heard of GOJIRA and claim to be a metalhead!!! I lost my train of thought........
Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't being an ASS when I said that and truthfully it's been a little bit since I posted that so I don't remember what my point was. Also, they are nowhere close to being my favorite band. I'm sorry if I came off as a dick, I honestly don't know what was going through my mind when I wrote that. I agree with what you said about GOJIRA.
What amazes me to no end is that I didn't think a band could make a song called "The heaviest matter of the universe" and live up to such a name, but Gojira does it, it sounds exactly as advertised. "No way it's that hea.... damn, it's heavy AF"
Boss Hogg I saw lamb of god opening for metallica back in 2008 (that was my first concert) and now I'll be seeing Gojira opening for metallica this year!! can't fucking wait honestly
Was my first time seeing/hearing them. I got their early expecting a crowd, but what I got was an empty stadium, maybe 20% full, and this band began to play. I couldn't believe how amazing they were. Made me go out and buy their CD that night after the concert because the only thing I could think of while watching Metallica was I WANT MORE GOJIRA!
I had a weird dream about Gojira last night. I was in Montreal for their show, and was puttering around shopping and just killing time before the show started. I bought a bag of milk and for some reason brought it with me to the show. Next thing you know I'm backstage with the band hanging out, and I ask Mario.. "veux tu du lait?" (would you like some milk?) and he's like "No, no, je suis vegan.." (sorry, I'm vegan.) I said ok, left the bag on the table, and asked Joe if he wanted some. He said "that's gross.. it's probably sour by now.." Then I'm suddenly in the crowd listening to them play Silvera. Like I said.. weird dream.
I like how easy it is to focus on the drums in Gojira. A bunch of crazy shredders make it hard to focus on what other intruments might be doing, but Gojira is more about the riffs and melody which I like sometimes. A Plus about Goijra is that all the vocals even the clean ones are pretty unique unlike a lot of newer Metalcore bands.
HeinrichVonOetker I actually think the girl from JinJer is better, her deep growls are awesome and can still sing clean decently. Vocally, and for female thats a huge deal. Hes good in the sense he sings in pitch or key, like what Corey Taylor does, but I wouldnt say the best. But Devin Townsend still remains the most versatile vocalist in metal. No one can scream and go into clean vox within a bar like he can.
7:23 It's not fake, it's a really good sound engineer work, like a Avallon Tube Compressor well used coupled with a good mic such as the Audio-technica AE4100!! Haters go away!!!
Wish it showed the guitarists playing the lightning quick string slide bit towards the end of Oroborus and most of Heaviest Matter in the Universe. I dig that grindy sound, striking you like the chill of a frozen winter night. Or the swing of an axe slicing into a heavy guitar riff!
I was having a conversation the other day about my top 5 favorite metal bands of ALL time and decided that Gojira is in that list simply because not only is their music just straight up bad assery, there is no other band in music let alone metal, that sounds like Gojira. They are truly that original. Btw I loved Joe’s hair when it was long like this. Sooo Metal!
Dave Grohl killed it this night. Spot on. This performance is proof that he’s the best drummer ever. He can literally play any genre. So under appreciated.

Both top notch albums
Death are awesome.
Yup
Joe?
@@twitchrareswedishki11errabbit ?
7:50 There is not a single doubt in my mind that no one alive on earth loves their job more than gojira's bass player
One of the few bands that sound just as good live as they do on in the studio. Extremely talented.
physically impossible not to headbang on 6:43
you can tell the bassist really thoroughly enjoys this
He likes it because he's actually heard lmao
@@thedudethatplaysguitar9882 so damn true! Glad the band I was in, always took over the mixing at the shows we did because the sound guys barely had me in the pa.

Speaking as a bassist I totally agree. Playing this song is awesome!!
Gee Dubb cool story.
Playing that shit with only pull-offs on a bass is fucking finger murder. Props
The faces Joe pulls at the start of The Heaviest Matter of the Universe are exactly the ones I pull listening to it, behind my laptop, with my headphones, and my girlfriend beside me contemplating if we should really get married. \m/
2 years later, how are you two?
@@blacksaltscotland we're not! LMFAO
I was about to say don’t bro!!
@@pafa92 how about now?
got married? haha
This band is kick ass. I'm so glad I found them by accident.
one of the best voices in metal, period !
I don't know how he does it.
The very best by far
Agree.
@@FrshChees91 he facked his voice up doing it tho.
@@gatinho6248 considering he is doing that since 96 ..his voice is still prety good , sure some recent live his voice is tired , because you know he is older , doing a concert every two days can be tiring if you don't have enough rest , air conditionning all that stuff...but honestly it's still pretty good
The Heaviest Matter of the Universe = Joe Duplantier's Voice
God, i almost forgot how good this band is.
Joe's vocals in this are insane.
There aren't many bands that have this much energy and excitement as Gojira have in this video. Absolutely phenomenal band!
in every single video lol
For energy you could look at Anaal Nathrakh
Amad Chima agreed! 😎
killswitch engaged, sabaton, slipknot to name a few.
jOOCE sure. Maybe. But I think their consistency does match
This editing is like some 90s mtv
seriously. so distracting from the music with all the starts/stops/pauses in the video.
i bet bevis and buthead would worship gojira
It's a from a small festival in 2009...
Shit I almost forget mtv use to play music smh..
It's well done and effective, and it's been done since the Beatles.
One of the few bands that sound better live than on recording.
I saw these guys in Saskatoon and they were unreal man, way better than the record
@@aaronkapustinsky6062 I need to make it a point to see them. I'd love to see them tour with sylosis, devildriver, and trivium. I would hafta see a chiropractor if that eargasm ever happened.
@@wessmith3204 I've seen Gojira, DevilDriver, and Trivium all on separate occasions. Gojira and Lamb of God tie for my 2 most awesome live experiences, coupled with some amazing acid.
I agree. And on recording they are totally amazing
@@l.w.s-thepoweroficial6998 for sure
The drummer reminds me of Nick Menza Rust In Peace era. His mannerisms, gloves and everything. I stopped listening to metal for 5 years and just came back to this. Holy crap metal is evolving quickly. When i was playing Opeth on drums I thought that was complex. This is mind blowing
glad you came back to metal, i did the same, got away from it for a few years, and then came back..... never leaving again.
1gbayfisher Check out Elliott Hoffman from Car Bomb. They toured with Gojira a couple times and he is absolutely insane. He's like Tomas Haake and a drum machine had a baby that grew up and developed a taste for LSD
Look up the isolated drum track for 'Garrucha' it's crazy
@@jomartyn8789 you had me at LSD
The bassist is my spirit animal
Good 1.
Ruler!!!?😂
MEs Love GOJIRA LIVE!!! YES!!!
Oroborus is a drum master piece
They always sound as crisp and clean as they do in the studio its NUTS
"Horse Power to the People" - Best shirt ever.
GOJIRA is probably the best live band ive ever seen
You clearly haven’t been to a Meshuggah or Rammstein show.. you’re missing out buddy.
The fact that people comment on how "fake" Joe's voice sounds live just proves how FUCKING GOOD he is. Literally anyone with ears that work can tell that his cadence on certain words is different than the album versions. Both songs were fucking incredible 🤘🏻
one of the most instantly recognizable voices in Metal!
That was just over-editing
Yep, really noticeable on The Heaviest Matter, I don't understand those people.
He literally just has some type of echo on the mic, probably just reverb turned up that's all
That is just a good mic. This guys are SUPERB live, I saw them in a festival here in Santiago where play with Lamb of God, Deftones , Faith No More and System of a Down (just to name the most populars bands) anda they were, by far, the most heavy sound, they literally move the ground.
As a long time metal fan it astounds me that a song called "The Heaviest Matter of the Universe" actually deserves it's title. :) wd boys.
Absolutely LOVE Gojira. My favorite band of the last decade.
Saw Gojira with Opeth last year. I cried twice at how absolutely beautiful it was. Joe is such a god. The whole band is so talented, and its awesome to see them back in their prime, even if they are still great today.
I need to see Opeth live😖
4:56 Joe's voice is so badass out of this world
this is the best thing ive seen in done in metal in a while. major props for emotion, performance and overall greatness that Gojira is. hands down the best metal band of new metal era
I’m 54 I’m old school metal (Sabbath, Priest, Maiden , Metallica) found out about the mighty GOJIRA a few years ago and am HOOKED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The only bad thing about this video is how it's edited. They're a prog metal band, they're not a punk rock band. The performance, however, was absolutely phenomenal 1000/10 :D
Kevin Stark really i thought they are a death metal band
It's well done and effective, and also why it comes across so powerful. Which is why when bands become mega huge they use screens and full production crew to project the performance with cuts and pans and effects onto the screens in a way that gives it movement and makes it more exciting than it is. IE: Metallica has been doing it for decades and they pack stadiums wherever they go.
this song also sounds a bit like death metal
They're considered progressive death metal.
They are French
So good :) my Schuldiner sense is tingling
These vocals are just vile
i like that
So much energy! love every second of this! can't wait to see you in May!
The heaviest matter in the universe is one the the heaviest songs ever!! I'm amazed by the amount of people that have never heard of GOJIRA and claim to be a metalhead!!! I lost my train of thought........

no gojira is standard metal repertoire by now, i've seen enough people wearing their t-shirts to be pretty certain every metalhead should have a look
ruairi mck showreel I've seen 1 person besides me wear a Gojira Shirt.
What amazes me to no end is that I didn't think a band could make a song called "The heaviest matter of the universe" and live up to such a name, but Gojira does it, it sounds exactly as advertised.
"No way it's that hea.... damn, it's heavy AF"
Will Pruitt I am a metal head. I've been listening to heavy metal since 198something and I just discovered this band a month ago.
Joe rockin that chuck schuldiner stance...
Aditya Nair not surprised. Joe's loves DEATH.
Was going to comment on that... It is like a resurrection from DEATH!
the two Songs also sounds a bit like death metal
My two favorite heavy bands, with opeth a distant 3rd
And voice
The harmonic stop/start! And really all of it AMAZING!
That bassist \../ your patience n focus is profound.
Seen this band open for Metallica and Lamb of god been a fan since killer amazing band!!!
Boss Hogg I saw lamb of god opening for metallica back in 2008 (that was my first concert) and now I'll be seeing Gojira opening for metallica this year!! can't fucking wait honestly
Thats' funny because they're so much better than old talica

Metallica should open up for gojira
ruairi mck showreel Not in my opinion but i respect yours.
great video. such an amazing band with a positive message. gojira=goosebumps every time
I had a weird dream about Gojira last night. I was in Montreal for their show, and was puttering around shopping and just killing time before the show started. I bought a bag of milk and for some reason brought it with me to the show. Next thing you know I'm backstage with the band hanging out, and I ask Mario.. "veux tu du lait?"

LOL awesome
Montreal the heaviest city of Canada! Horns up from BC \m/
When you drink your milk you change, the wooooorld
In the center is the light of love that never can be touched .... from greater silence shall returrrrrrrrrrrrrrn!!!
One of my all time fav live music vids on youtube. His voice is incredible.
Literally my two fav. Songs... Nice
soooo goood. very heavy indeed. so many good bands to see and listen to.
God damn the intensity! They are legends in the metal industry
Great live show. The editing is a bit overdone in my opinion though.
They let the work experience kid do the editing on this one. But yeah, it's annoying.
Lol, whoever edited this has no idea what the word subtlety means.
Its like something you would have seen on Scuzz back in 2002
I came here to see if anyone was thinking the same thing. Way too many cuts and shots of the crowd.
Overdone for sure, but I1m happy to see the crowd having fun, for example. I really like those parts.
Perfect perfect perfect!!

Yeah I like his clean vocals as well.
great stuff
I get goosebumps every single time I hear Joe’s voice come in on Heaviest Matter of the Universe. Holy shit man it’s SO powerful
3:46 Joe's got the best metal vocals out of any band out there at the moment in my opinion. Fucking love this band!
HeinrichVonOetker you're probably right, buddy. when it comes to live performances, the man always delivers
Watch Bordeaux 2012 ;)
HeinrichVonOetker I actually think the girl from JinJer is better, her deep growls are awesome and can still sing clean decently. Vocally, and for female thats a huge deal. Hes good in the sense he sings in pitch or key, like what Corey Taylor does, but I wouldnt say the best. But Devin Townsend still remains the most versatile vocalist in metal. No one can scream and go into clean vox within a bar like he can.
Maynard James Keenan from band Tool in my opinion, but this is a close second though.
Christian Älvestam (scar symmitry- solution.45) , Devin Townsend and Björn Strid (soilwork) are the three best I have ever heard. Give them a listen.
the crowd cheer at 1:51, before the riff... goose bumps...
The best thing ever to come outta France!
holy shit this was insanely good!
5:55 Heaviest matter begins
Thanks 😄
exactly what i was lookin for......6 years later
Absolutly killer !
f#*k yeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Heaviest Matter in the Universe... Unbelievably amazing song!
Bless They All
I liked this video before I even watched it. Because I know it’s gonna be awesome.
7:23
It's not fake, it's a really good sound engineer work, like a Avallon Tube Compressor well used coupled with a good mic such as the Audio-technica AE4100!!
Haters go away!!!
Love the clarity with every fucking musician
Best song by them period.
Love it
Think I just found a new favorite band... Holy shit.. face melted...
beyond ridiculously good
Vocals are fucking spot on, that was dann amazing
Gojira = metallica + pantera + death + meshuggah + mastodon influences (sometimes)
you're lost morbid angel
Fuck all of my favorite bands minus tool..
And old Sepultura
More like Gojira = Gojira
Why always try to compare everything ?
They are mastodon + sepultura.
Saw them in 2013, opened for Slayer. Excellent performance!
The heaviest drumming of the universe
Grandiose
Wish it showed the guitarists playing the lightning quick string slide bit towards the end of Oroborus and most of Heaviest Matter in the Universe. I dig that grindy sound, striking you like the chill of a frozen winter night. Or the swing of an axe slicing into a heavy guitar riff!
Thank God! True metal lives!
Geez Mario! The bell on that ride is huge! Haha!

the most epic of all epicness
GREATNESS!!
It sure sound's like the haviest matter of the universe 👍excelent riff.
Probably the best making new music now.
This is what metal fucking SHOULD BE in the 21st century. Thank you, Gojira!!!!
This song is about falling into a literal black hole. Scary and intense.
This band is top 3 metal band around

OROBORUS
*First song from “The Way of All Flesh,” it is a song very regularly played live.*
*It features riffs played with tapping, a guitar technique involving using two hands to fret the notes instead of one.*
serpent of light
*The Oroborus (or Ouroboros) is an ancient symbol of regeneration featuring a snake in a circle consuming its tail. This symbol embodies regeneration or rebirth, similar to a phoenix, but contrary to a phoenix there is no definite start or end to the Oroborus; it is eternal.*
movement of the soul
crawling stately along the spine
mighty Phoenix from the ashes arises
firebird cycle of life, regenerate the cell
*In this album, Gojira deal with the impending nature of death and its effects on spirituality and nature alike. Hence, in this line, we see the juxtaposition of ‘Firebird’ (a Phoenix, a spiritual symbol) and ‘Cell’ (scientific term). As before, these lines deal with regeneration.*
life burns fierce, reduced to ashes
*Life burns fierce in its eternal regeneration. It is reduced to ashes, which carries on with the theme of the album (especially prominent in the title track, The Way of all Flesh).*

resurrection from the flame
*This line continues the imagery of Phoenixes and rebirth from flames. The life cycle of the phoenix, in essence, is self-consumption through flame and rebirth from the ashes.*

quest for absolution, out of bounds introspect
*Introspection is defined as the examination of one’s own thoughts or feelings, and hence while the soul, or person in question, is ‘out of bounds’, it still observes its own thoughts.*
self-consuming womb
*The womb is the organ in which pregnancy occurs (this album features a multitude of relatively scientific/biological terms). Hence, a self-consuming womb will always consume, or destroy the soul that it creates. However, carrying on with the theme of rebirth in this song, the self-consuming womb will live again in a never-ending circle - an oroborus.*

*Omnipresence or ever-presence denotes a state of existence in which a being will always be present. In this case, the omnipresence of the soul will meet no end.*
it seems like I always knew this
since I'm a child, I can feel it
*The protagonist of the song has always known that their soul is in a state of endless regeneration. This continues the theme of regeneration, and possibly is a reference to Hindu mysticism wherein the state of life and the being is in perpetual regeneration. The theme of Hindu mysticism in this album is continued with Yama’s Messengers.*
my inner light everlasting
revolving within a circle
extended wings I'm flying
over the valleys and planes
the curve of space I'm leaving
*The wings in these lines may refer to:*
*The ‘literal’ Wings of the Phoenix.*
*A metaphor for the journey of the soul over the earth, perhaps reaching a higher spiritual plane. This links to the next line, ‘leaving the curve of space’.*
death is just an illusion
oroborus symbol of eternal life
dig a tunnel for light through ignorant walls
I'm counting the days, but I'm dying
grow up with impatience, I'm falling down
on the peaks of radiant mountains
this truth is growing before me
my attention fixed on this silence
rediscover life while I'm breathing
designing the shape of material
frozen icon distant reminder
mankind has forgotten the gateways
by the mouth of the serpent regenerate
Powerful
I'm annoyed it's taken me so long to find these fellas.
That bass is killer
redorer le blason du metal français !! trop fort . longue vie a GOJIRA !!
Just discovering Gojira, fucking awsome.
I love you Joe ;)
Man joe sound incredible here!!
His voice is so good in this one that for a moment I thought that he was possessed by some multidimensional entity.
BRUTALES!!!!!!!!
this video is the definition of this band...
These guys have come out of their cocoon. Dark metal has it's place, in history.
The most heaviest song of the universe
Oroborus grooves better with a slower tempo.
One of the few bands carrying the metal torch after the demise of the beloved Pantera , thank you gojira for keeping good music alive
Omfg Joe's vocals are fucking insane!!!
