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.
@@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
@@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
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
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.
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
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
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 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
@@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........................
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.
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 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
@@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?
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.
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
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
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!!!
“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.
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.
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.
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.......🌑🐋
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
58:43 *The way of all flesh* Anything that has a shape will crumble away, disappear We belong to the circle life of all creation We crawl, deny ourselves, refuse this evidence That we project our greatest fears on death and forget our power I want to live my life in close touch with the sacred Pacify disturbances of the mind, I face my own death Lower and lower is the pressure I can feel the parts of me collapsing one into the other Higher state of consciousness awaken I can see the light of this next world leading my soul reborn I find it hard to believe that this picture on the wall is everything I do understand all the prayers, life is so sharp, hurts so bad What does it mean to be dying, what if you take the guts and brain away? Is it this blood and heartbeat that you call life Every effort to ignore it is unavailing, we all have to die Is it too late to dull the edges of the pain, I have to try This is an other dimension, you can scatter ashes to the winds And even buried in the ground I'm still there Do not be afraid, you are dying and the four great elements Of your body are collapsing one into the other It feels as if you are being crushed by mountains The light of this world has faded completely But the light of the next world have not yet appeared Your breath is now still, no warmth to your skin Do not be afraid, there's no way that you can stay here You are leaving this world, all lights are fading away now Leave behind loved ones and all you know Do not be afraid and let yourself go
Ok so if at 15:00 that riffage doesn’t just rig at your nutsack, have your vitals checked immediately. You are not well. Taken out of context, just sampling 30 seconds of almost any Gojira song, might not stand out to some, or it may hook you. But knowing the songs, the anticipation they create is ……I don’t know man, it just gets me. And here, with their signature buildup which might even seem a tad complex at times, returns to the churning, groovy, harmonious, heavier than yet more beautiful than thou feel that separates the greats from the oh-my-god-what-mortal-created-this of legends. I know they get huge credit, and I never want Gojira to get over exploited or watered down, but it’s still not enough credit. Their sense of feel, stretched out over measure upon measure, is stratospheric, right there with Sabbath and Zeppelin at their peaks. Like that feeling just post orgasm, of, wow, was that sinful, or spiritual? That’s for only you to answer. My answer-both. Extreme anxiety tempered with elation. Gojira. Godzilla stepped……here…….and …….here……and then over here crushed that Sony skyscraper……and then the Cheesecake Factory……and then Godzilla swung his tail around and the train station was swept away, just like that. Godzilla. Rahreerah. So their dad, a French artist, mom, an American jazz singer. West coast of France, very near the Basque region no less, call themselves Godzilla, evolve into this……one in a million. And flying whales are a sight to behold. I could never have even approached this kind of expression, and I feel like I’m good at that. Thank you planets, for aligning this.
@@ralphdarc3094 uhhh, why yes actually. Take my hand. We shall snag the tablecloth from under ignorance and cast it anew unto the near heavens we call a Gojira mosh pit. Nirvana approaches. Inner peace is turmoil, and strife brings harmony, yet, we never acquire the Whole, only the Hole.
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.
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.
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.

@Jace Wilson i'm sure nobody cares
Imagine being in a band so good that you're known for sounding even better live. GOJIRA.
I know - that must be ugh - better than anything money can buy
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 bass drum is meaty af!
@@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
This SET is fucking UNREAL some of the heaviest gojira songs in one set, what a time to be alive
If time machines become a thing this is the first place i’m going to
oath
"...what a time to be alive..." WORD!🤘
@@rezei I was there, in Sweden 2009. The bass drums gave my brother stomach issues.🤘
@@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.

The song TWOAF has the deepest lyrics, most emotional song...
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
They are the metallica of the 21st century
Fully. Fucking. Agree.
Fucking true
That bass tone on “Sight to Behold” is stellar. Awesome.
It's like the bass is it's own being. This is why this song is one of my favs. The bass is INSANE In this song
The Art Of Dying is so soul lifting and powerful my God.....
I love how they somehow make it heavier than the studio version.
Agreed. And that drop into the first verse is pure metal bliss
And it still holds up after so many listens. Love the energy!
The first time I heard that song, I was on my motorcycle. Needless to say, i went fast.
🏴🤘😆🤘🏴
The Way of All Flesh is really something else... that outro was spiritual
My Favorite album and song by them 🤘, i discovered France with this haha
@@gtroy181 HAHAH Don't start! I too!
2009 was the epitome of Joe's vocals, the sheer amount of power his voice has in here is amazing, it even exceeds the record.
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

Is he using false chords? If so, I don't understand why he breathes so bad and struggles so much on the last concerts.
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 🤯
They listened and now they play it at basically every show lol
I think theres not a single person that is not happy to hear it live again
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
Live at Red Rocks and PolRock are unmissable too
I’m like halfway there lol
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....

@@Drumsnelson93 Thank fuck he still sounds fantastic. Fortitude was phenomenal vocally imo
Is nobody gonna talk about how heavy the way of all flesh is?
The Way of the flesh song is hypnotic and heavy - these guys couldn't have done it better ! Sounds great
@@chrisp.916 yep, but terra incognita is way more heavier, i mean, brutal
@@samchenard5531 the link is their heaviest album imo
People think it is heavy because it is Death metal (which it is) but i think it is heaviest on the Heart ! The lyrics are just . . . Mind blowing!
One of their most underrated songs I reckon
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.
This show goes down as top 10 in my opinion
This is the best fucking concert on UA-cam.
There is only one better, and that is The Link Alive (nostalgia for me)
Stuff like this keeps me from losing my fucking mind. I love this group
iau exactly, FUCKING DEVASTATING
@@Unearthlywhales agreed
Every time i hear From the Sky i get chills through my body...
Da ocean boi
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
This somg is the stuff of legend
At the first sound, I didn't appreciate this song much, but now I love it.
Welcome to Mario Duplantier doing fast af double bass for 5 mins straight
Love this version of Sight to Behold with pure bass
Yeah that bass is butt nasty.
Imagine being a Gojira fan when this first came out.
naice
I cant imagine being at this concert
The buzz around their shows was insane back then.
I heard vacuity just after they released this album back in 2009, changed my 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........................
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.
Joe looks so good with longer hair
How the hell can someone have this much power in their voice? That's unreal.
Just set your mind on politics,starvation and everythinng wrong in this world. Youll get there
Rage
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
For example recent podcast Mario did about drumming, Mario said Joe wanted to join but had to conserve voice before show
I think he still got it but he can't do it day after day after day like on tour, otherwise he looses his voice.
The sound quality is outstanding goddamn
Absolute greatest band of all time.
Absolute greatest record of all time.
yes yes yes
Mars to siris for me all the way
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
Isn't it beautiful.. gives me chills!
what the hell are you talking about?, are you blind, deaf or both?
@@maogr in fact he's right on a certain point of view, the feeling +live+ is similar
It's true Sir. Death is alive."Spiritual Healing".
i think youre wrong.nevertheless,awesome live
That this band can be this good and yet still be opening acts for other bands is criminal.
Mario is something else..
Isn't that complicated.
"Most regular people would say that's hard" - Pantera
TCB * I mean pantera songs are way easier to play on drums than gojira songs
@@plaguedDrummer55 fuck you fight me, vinnie was doing thing that no one had heard
@@alsabo1706 At the time, yeah he was for sure
@@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?
it gets to the point where you tear up from adrenaline overload,. it's been my favorite concert since I heard it 5 years ago
26:50, the best a sight to behold performance! , love that bass. amazing band, hope I’ll see them live at least once in my life.
Amazing¡
Seeing them for first time live in November..been (back-)boning up on all things Gojira this yr...da fuck have i been?✊🏽🤯🤘🏽

I think it's one of their encore songs, along with clone.
Watching Gojira's lives from that era is a totally different experience than listening to their studio albums. They are AMAZING.
Because of summary of energy all people in lives
This is the best they've ever sounded live
The power and melody of joe’s voice is unmatched.

Just not for 20 years straight lol

1:02:35 The throat singing on The Way Of All Flesh. MY GOD!
This will easily go down as one of the most incredible and best concerts ever recorded in history. \,,/
Those times when Joe was not trying to save his voice... of course I support him in his health, but shit man, I miss those screams
He's not doing growls anymore, idk after which album he started doing Fry scream
@@zoihartzeluengobasanez471 He started doing fry screams since The Link, but he never stopped doing growls, you can hear some growls in Fortitude
as someone who has only followed the band since 2016, i must say i envy anyone who was able to experience this.
Seeing these guys live is simply life changing.
One of the top metal shows ever performed. Truly, the heaviest matter of the universe.
Received my copy of this show on blu ray today, best purchase ever.
I'll need to do the same bro, it's a fuckin banger of a set wish I seen it live
Where you buy men???
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!!!
“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.
The best live sound and concert of Gojira on UA-cam.
idk, their pol and rock concert is actually fucked up its that good
Live at Vieilles Charrues Festival 2010, you gonna love that!
Red rocks is great but pol and rock is something else
this concert, let alone setlist, is fucking elite
I'm so thankful i got to see them on their tour in 2009, every setlist from that year is awesome
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.
I kinda gave up on metal, but this shit is soooooooooo god damn good my fire is back! Thank you Gojira.
you cant gave up metal dude,
Metal is the key to the universe
Glad you find the fire again. Welcome back friend! \m/

The way of all flesh just has to be my favourite gojira song man. That ending section... holy fuck...
One of our other guitarists from my church worship team recommended this band & I haven’t really stopped listening since. These guys are top tier.
I only recently got into Gojira. Now I'm depressed I'll never get to witness them live like THIS.😭
Feeling the same tbh
I can hardly believe what I'm seeing!
Best metal band on the planet right now.
They were even more on fire on that night than in other live shows I've watched on UA-cam (or that is my perception). What an amazing performance.
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!!!
Holy shit, Joe´s voice was sheer power in this concert!! i´m glad he is having the time to recover now
same. Vocals on Vacuity are on par with the studio version over an hour into the show, which is absolutely fucking incredible.
@@demonguysayshi2666 yu
This along with the link alive are the most beautiful and closest to the record concerts I've ever heard. Master Pieces!
Thought the same
crazy thing is i’m pretty sure they’re both at the same venue
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.
20:40 Mario looks so fucking buff goddamn
It's the tree trunks he's bashing that kit with!!!
Still keeps the beat even when the crowd is off lol
I have developed a high level of respect for this band and have grown to love them. They are my new fav!!!!!!
GOJIRA is first and foremost a live experience . If you like the band GO & SEE THEM LIVE ! you won't regret it .
Best Vocals, best Crowd, best sound quality, best, best songs list, best ilumination color, best energy, best concert Gojira
46:00 this roar scares Godzilla.
52:43 this one too
and Katy Perry
8:35 this one also haha
What a performance. A proper ass kick from Gojira in their prime period.
No way this is live. No way.
Sounds fucking amazing.
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 do miss the heavier sound they had during this time, i like his vocals from 2009 more than 2017/18
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.
@Dave Schrack you can do it for years if proper technic is used
@@ignaciojauregui7423 yes like James Hetfield & Corey Taylor. Hell, idk if Chris Barnes has a technique. He still has it.
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.
almost forgot to watch this today

The way of all flesh..Iv heard this a million times and growing...The song is beautiful..
The art of playing better live than anything or anyone 👌🙏
If someone will invent time machine, I want be here in Borbeaux back in 2009.
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.
When he sang like this, he was wonderful.
He still is!
Every band has that peak era of their music and this is theirs
The best live show by gojira ....and it a 1 of it....power rock play
58:43 *The way of all flesh*
Anything that has a shape will crumble away, disappear
We belong to the circle life of all creation
We crawl, deny ourselves, refuse this evidence
That we project our greatest fears on death and forget our power
I want to live my life in close touch with the sacred
Pacify disturbances of the mind, I face my own death
Lower and lower is the pressure
I can feel the parts of me collapsing one into the other
Higher state of consciousness awaken
I can see the light of this next world leading my soul reborn
I find it hard to believe that this picture on the wall is everything
I do understand all the prayers, life is so sharp, hurts so bad
What does it mean to be dying, what if you take the guts and brain away?
Is it this blood and heartbeat that you call life
Every effort to ignore it is unavailing, we all have to die
Is it too late to dull the edges of the pain, I have to try
This is an other dimension, you can scatter ashes to the winds
And even buried in the ground I'm still there
Do not be afraid, you are dying and the four great elements
Of your body are collapsing one into the other
It feels as if you are being crushed by mountains
The light of this world has faded completely
But the light of the next world have not yet appeared
Your breath is now still, no warmth to your skin
Do not be afraid, there's no way that you can stay here
You are leaving this world, all lights are fading away now
Leave behind loved ones and all you know
Do not be afraid and let yourself go
holy monkey balls that’s some moving lyrics
Ok so if at 15:00 that riffage doesn’t just rig at your nutsack, have your vitals checked immediately. You are not well. Taken out of context, just sampling 30 seconds of almost any Gojira song, might not stand out to some, or it may hook you. But knowing the songs, the anticipation they create is ……I don’t know man, it just gets me. And here, with their signature buildup which might even seem a tad complex at times, returns to the churning, groovy, harmonious, heavier than yet more beautiful than thou feel that separates the greats from the oh-my-god-what-mortal-created-this of legends. I know they get huge credit, and I never want Gojira to get over exploited or watered down, but it’s still not enough credit. Their sense of feel, stretched out over measure upon measure, is stratospheric, right there with Sabbath and Zeppelin at their peaks. Like that feeling just post orgasm, of, wow, was that sinful, or spiritual? That’s for only you to answer. My answer-both. Extreme anxiety tempered with elation. Gojira. Godzilla stepped……here…….and …….here……and then over here crushed that Sony skyscraper……and then the Cheesecake Factory……and then Godzilla swung his tail around and the train station was swept away, just like that. Godzilla. Rahreerah. So their dad, a French artist, mom, an American jazz singer. West coast of France, very near the Basque region no less, call themselves Godzilla, evolve into this……one in a million. And flying whales are a sight to behold. I could never have even approached this kind of expression, and I feel like I’m good at that. Thank you planets, for aligning this.
wow dude ! are you a doctor dude ? ayawasca poet dude ?
@@ralphdarc3094 uhhh, why yes actually. Take my hand. We shall snag the tablecloth from under ignorance and cast it anew unto the near heavens we call a Gojira mosh pit. Nirvana approaches. Inner peace is turmoil, and strife brings harmony, yet, we never acquire the Whole, only the Hole.
@@andrewhigdon8346 far out dude. which hole dude ?
one of a few metal band that doesn't trying to look like a metal band
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.
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.
man, their live sound is so good
32:28
*its time for the moment you’ve all been waiting*
1:02:36 the throat singing gets me high
And at that time (1:02:36) the drummer is starting a slow and long series of drums patterns and accents that sends you to another dimension/planet
@@chrisp.916 it sends you from mars to sirius :P
How is he doing that voice?
@@theitalianstallion973 Vocoder. Joe used in many parts of The Way Of All Flesh Album, just hear to "a sight to behold" and behold it hahaha
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.
This was excellent! 2 hours of Gojira and they’re so into it! Thank you for uploading this.
1 hour twenty.. I don't think they've ever played 2 hour set...
a sight to behold is amazing
That kick drum sample is the perfect metal live sample😩😩
Joe's voice here is absolutely insane
J'adorerai avoir les impressions des gens présents à ce concert ! ça devait etre incroyable !
I love Gojira !!! Saludos desde Argentina ! Por suerte los vi en vivo y es uno de los mejores shows (Y sonido) que vi en mi vida !!!!!
What a performance!! My special moment of this concert was definitely Toxic Garbage Island. masterpiece
First time ever watching this or hearing of this band, holy phuck 🥳🤘
45:50 = the apocalypse
