Hey kids! Its your good buddy, Uncle Ben, here to tell you about some Stuff Gojira Does.
Stuff Mastodon Does was such a hit, it seemed like a good idea to devote an episode to the greatest thing to come out of France since champagne, the mighty GOJIRA!
I've been hooked on them ever since i heard the From Mars to Sirius album (Ocean Planet, specifically). Their guitar style is extremely distinct, with tons of inverted power chords, gallops, pinch harmonics, pick scrapes, and all kinds of goodies. We will discuss the secrets, techniques, and tricks of their signature sound in this video.
What band does stuff that you want to know about?
Gear used:
Gibson Les Paul with MojoTone wiring
Suhr SSH/SSV pickups
Kemper Profiler (Sinmix profiles)
Suhr J Classic bass
Neural DSP Darkglass B7K plugin
Superior Drummer 3
featuring major riffs from
From Mars to Sirius
The Link
L'Enfant Sauvage
The Way of All Flesh
Magma
Terra Incognita
What band Does Stuff that you want to know how they do?
Rings of saturn
Twelve Foot Ninja!
The Standard Model
BTBAM, After The Burial, and Meshuggah
Burzum ;)
Nailed it with my moms second husband
Just like second husband nailed the mom
Rudy, I think Uncle Ben has been somewhat inspired by your staring techinque here
Rudy is the true stare master.
I nearly died laughing
hi Rudy
That major key version of Raining Blood made me die a little inside.
Lmao. Sounds like christmas version of raining blood.
ah, it wasn't just my idea, thank fk
Hurt my ears.
That was the best part
He was referencing JensAndRikard's disposal of the body in e major
The funniest thing when seeing gojira live was how everytime there was a pinch harmonic the whole crowd went 'woaapp'. Pretty sure Joe did it into the microphone one time aswell
Noob's Den Hahahaha that is awesome!
you have a link
I need to see this.
Brooo show us
I saw them in boise on the fortitude tour
Gojira sometimes destroys Tokyo, which isn't necessarily a guitar thing all of the time.
**died**
Gojira also tends to fight moths and 3 headed dragons.

"touching the neck of the guitar is illegal in many countries, but is socially acceptable in France" I literally died...

Omgggg your so right
Nah
bullshit
Joe Duplantier? No
I love Gojira. Their riffs are just so heavy and not overly technical just for the sake of being technical.
Excellent summary. They're on par with Burton era Metallica for me.
truth. I appreciate that as well
It’s because they’re a solid combination of heaviness, grooviness, and melodicism

'Hello, we are Gojira from France. Buy our shirts!'
A line spoken to the crowd at a show I went to. Love those guys.
Did you buy one?
They are the best
My favorite thing about them is how they are so incredibly french and speak somewhat decent English (from interviews I've seen) yet you wouldn't at all be able to tell that English isn't their best language through hearing Joe/Mario sing (iirc Mario sang in a few select songs with Joe before). In fact I don't think I've ever seen the bassist or guitarist speak, I've always ever just seen Joe being the speaker for them even in interviews lol. It's crazy how despite them being born in France and knowing French their whole lives they chose English to be their medium for vocals instead of French.
@@elitebelt The weird thing about metal is that everyone sounds normal in it's vocals in English, no matter where they're from.
Be it Scandinavia, France, Poland, Germany or wherever the fuck every metal vocalist sounds like they've lived in The US for 20 years when performing in English. And then you hear them in interviews where they have obvious accents and it's like... how???
@@elitebelt I believe in an interview Joe said they chose English instead of French is because English sounds better when singing
This very dry delivery with intentional mispronunciation is so much funnier than the regular meme style hot to videos, thank you ben.
"Gojaria aren't happen to just use power chords like all the other bois."

As someone who learned to tap largely form playing Gojira, the line that killed me was, "Touching the neck of the guitar is illegal in many countries but is socially acceptable in France."
"Florida Gojira line"
I'm dead
Im missing the reference.
5:16 for anyone wondering
@@MatthewThrone Florida Georgia line is a band

Noticed that 😂
I have only seen them together both times I have seen them.
Well... Mastodon does do some power metal

I never knew "Gojira" could be pronounced in so many interesting and creative ways until viewing this video.
Cory Brown well at least godzilla was there original name 😅
They were originally thinking of naming the band Godzilla
@@lupuionut6286 they were named godzilla for 5 years then they changed it to gojira which is how Japanese people pronounce godzilla
@@hitana2386 I didn't know that, thank you for clarifying
@@lupuionut6286 gojira is a combination between the japanese words kijera and gorira, both meaning whale and gorilla, used to describe godzilla
"One of gojina's trademark silly sounds"
I think I heard Joe Duplantier call them silly sounds too
Ways to pronoune Gojira:
Gojira
Godjira
Georgina
Gojina
Gojirhea
Godzilla
French Bois
Gogina
Was looking for this comment. Many thanks.

Gojira is one of handful of bands who aren't too complex but you're hard pressed to find another band who are so tight and make such great noise
This is incredible
AYEEEEE DOWNTUNED DJENTY BOII IN THE HOUSE!!
No u
Andrewwwwwwwwww is here :D
Yes number 666 to like 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Andrew your here 🥳🥳🥳🥳
man i choked at that youth pastor part just like i almost choked on my youth pastor
Soooooooo wrong.. lol
There it was. I was looking for this. Started to think I may have been the only person to find it funny.
Duuuuuuuuuuude
Bro?
Bruh
I had a neighbor who used to wake me up with hack caughing at 3:30 am every morning. At that point, we were both up, and I had no choice but to play Gojira, to celebrate the new day together. Incredibly, the neibors coughing seemed to clear up, however, my love for Gojira only grew stronger. Sadly, my neighbor moved out last month. Gojira. Thank you.
Clearly he moved away to a place with bigger speakers, so he could enjoy Gojira even more!
"it's a lower standard like your mom's second husband."
Thanks, my mom heard that and called me a disappointment.
are you her second husband?
Good going bro
I'm not sure if it's the guitar stuff or the comedy that keeps me coming back.
eh, six of one, half-dozen of the other.
Bit of both :D
Both equaly.
I cant find comedy in the list of gonjina songs. =/
This is the greatest video of all time.
The Heaviest Video in The Universe
Nah, this is just a tribute
I watch this once a month
This video prompted me to binge religiously on couple of latest Gojira releases.
One step more lower on the bottomest string. The most usefullest tip.
Yup, the mostest.
The humor feels natural and not forced at alll love it
Unclear if this is sarcasm or not
1:24 "I love horses" dude that's a chicken wtf
no it's a pig
Are you fucking blind? It’s obviously an ostrich.
Y'all are idiots. That was clearly a platypus
@@LeglessWonder your wrong, it's a giraffe
Lmao, ya'll blind bitches. Can't even recognize a fucking hamster smh
'Another thing Godzilla does'........
Brilliant
wow, this bra really supports the troops
Idk if you know, but Godzilla was their original name, then, after touring with some big names and getting bigger, due to the copyright infringement, they were forced to change it. And change it they did, into a Japanese transcription of the word Godzilla:)
Uncle Ben if you are in trouble, blink in your next video to ask for help. Also make sure that the video is a mastodon lesson.
Paul Samuel Amen
Amen
hasn't that happened already?
You can never have too many Mastodon videos.
@@thatgrimdude1453 r/woosh
Gegina is my favorite variation of the Gojira name.
Cause inside my head I'm still 12 years old.... :D
Genina is a name?
Sounds more like a disease
Georgina :v
Isnt their name supposed to sound like how godzilla in Japanese?
Ian Bull Gojira was the original Japanese title, Godzilla is the Americanized translation. Gojira is a mashup of the Japanese words for gorilla and whale, and may have been a nickname for an employee of the original production company.
my favorite is Gojirrhia
"Im comming officer Johnson"
*: )*
I love how he has embraced his awkwardness and turned into humor lol
When he said Gojina I lost it
I heard a grown women call them this at a Knotfest. I asked her again and when she repeated Gojina, I had to turn away and not proceed to slap her lol.
@@nathalichavez9421 Yeah' sounds just like her Vagina!!
"These French boys just want to make noise, that's ok noise is neat"
I love it!
We need a remake of this vid for the new Goji album
Gojira holds a special place in my heart because I once was stranded in the middle of no where on a bus with my class and all I did was listen to Gojira
I'm guessing you listened to "Stranded"
Indeed, Gojira are good boys. So are you, uncle Ben!
Holy fuck, Uncle Ben actually played something wrong. In L'Enfant Sauvage, the notes on the 1st fret at the end of 2nd and 4th run of the riff aren't palm muted on the record.
DзM well, fuck me i guess hahaha
@@BenEller Guess you need a video on the REAL way to play this song then ;)
@@BenEller You have brought dishonor to your family. You must commit ritual sudoku.
There's also a quick 1p0 at the end of the 3/2 2/1 thing, a lot of people miss it
We need a “things my moms second husband does”
Bonita are living proof it’s not how many fancy dodads you have in Tool keeper thingy but how swell you use them
My mom's second husband is my father...
Fair enough. Continue.
Xavi Galarza Mommy kink ey
oi same
My father... Was my mother.
I literary did not want this video to ever end.
His pronunciation of the bands name is hilarious
Okay.
Subbed.
HOW CAN I NOT?!? This was glorious
Raining Major Key should be played at all birthday parties
Bottom line:
1. I love the stuff Gojira does
2. I love your sense of humor
Very funny video! 👌👍 and you called them also Godzilla, their original bandname, so you know your stuff!
Interestingly enough. And this is a doozy. Gojira is the original name for Godzilla in Japan. Mind blown
Do Hoeijmans well he also called them go-gina, among many other things... lol
Dustin French no Japanese say Gojira and we in Europe say Godzilla. Gojira was a dinosaur like monster created for movies and is one of the Kaiju monsters.
TheJonnyrocker93 Yes legal problems forced Godzilla to change their name. They changed their name to Gojira, the rōmaji spelling of the fictional movie monster Godzilla.
Gojirrhea = when you got a monstrous case of liquid shits.
Best humor in UA-cam I've seen in a long time.
Mad. Props.
Thank you for making this video. I found it really helpful. I'm a Jazz Guitarist but I got into Gojira about a year ago. This helped me understand more on how these guys do what they do. I appreciate all the work you put into making this video.
so that's how they do the schiaaalooooooooom. A pick scrape
Shalom to you too
oy vey!

3:44 Rip eddie man.
"Florida-Gojira Line" killed me
Did you just play Happy Metal's version of Raining Blood?
It's right that the cops were on him, that should be illegal
no, that’s just a major key version of raining blood
@@watdadamz5083 You're not Ben.
@@watdadamz5083 precisely
Yeah, fuck me right? Let's not give the Happy Metal boys any props, regardless of if Ben is giving them a nod or not. It's more fun to bicker and argue about everything.
Dear lifeless yet sassy Uncle Ben, please make this a recurring segment
“I also love horses”
*shows picture of donkey*
I just discovered your two Stuff "band name" Does videos and they're hilarious and interesting. Please do more!
I too like the sounds which gojinirina makes. Thanks uncle stepdad
Stuff Opeth does, pls mr.Benicio.
Please please please pleaaaassseeee
III NEEEEEED IIIIIT
Its crazy. I’ve been watching your stuff for awhile and you are at 200k now. Nice mate!
This is just brilliant! This is a channel I would watch everyday!
This is the most perfect blend of humor and teaching in the history of the internet. Please do Baroness sometime!! Maybe right after new album with Gina comes out.
You missed one HUGE aspect of Gojiras playing: Octave chords. Literally the entire From Mars to Sirius record
Other than that, spot on and hilarious as all hell haha
But the guitar tab book didn't mention that
@@watamatafoyu Look at how they do it live, as well as some riff demos that Joe has done in the past (like for Ouroborus and Toxic Garbage Island)
@@theczar8435 llllioooolllll why is sarcasm so hard to see?! Have you never heard the jokes of terrible guitar tab books. God I hate explaining jokes
@@watamatafoyu Ok...
@@watamatafoyu then make better jokes lmao
Absolutely stellar video my dude. Great job.
Honestly one of the best thing I've watched for a while

Great video man. Keep up the good work.
Just randomly stumbled to this video and major throwback. I used to watch your videos back when I was first learning guitar about 5 years ago, first video I ever saw of yours was the pinch harmonic one. Lmao great to see youre still pumping out quality content. Your sense of humor reminds me of if RossCreations and iDubbbs had a baby, cheers man!
That feeling when you're the second husband.
The fact your name is “This Guy” as well adds so much
Florida Gojira Line was the winner for me, and I thought you were running out after "Godzilla"
Love Gojira, great video Sir Ben!
This video is what introduced me to Gojira. Thank you!
This is the best video you have ever made btw

@@keithcourneyea1609 What? Lol
2nd to Stuff Mastodon Does
On a comedy level I fully agree. I laughed so hard!!
GOJIRAAREGOODBOYS
Incredible video, please do more of these.
he should make more of these, i’ve rewatched this and the gojira stuff and i need MORE
I remember seeing an interview with Joe Duplantier one time and he said they actually do the scrapes with their thumb nail instead of the side of the pick. So whenever I play a Gojira song and they have that scrape effect I use my thumb nail instead of the side of the pick. In my opinion I think the nail sounds just that little bit more accurate to their sound.
I love Ben’s slow, monotone persona in this video. Ben, keep this character in your lineup, brother! This video is HILARIOUS.
I'm writing my comment from Paris and I confirm that we can touch our necks without triggering all the SWAT.
They are the goodest of bois.
This was so fun, new sub for sure
Witnesses claim that the last time Ben blinked was sometime in the spring of 2004 although no known footage of the occasion exists.
This video is highly insensitive to people who have had a lobotomy, or as we like to call them in the community, cranial real estate endowed. Gojina is good though.
lobotomy - open skull! lobotomy - vision of death! XD (it's a song)
Is a Gojina like a gorilla vagina?
Nevermind, i think you made a typo.
My bad
Send bobs and gojene
He must have seen Dr. Steve Brule, or is going back for more.
Honestly, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.....I'm jus' sayin
You're channel is so awesome, funny and you're playing is definitely exceptional. The Meshuggah episode was so good and on point
lol. 😁
Thanks uncle Ben. I needed this.
i live in the city Gojira started, and so often come play there so i've seen them 3 times in a 500 ppl room max, prety EPIC
Quelle chance! J'irai les voir là-bas plutôt qu'à Paris alors si l'occasion se présente à nouveau
My God this is golden. Florida Gojira Line 4 lyfe
I love this so much I re-watch it every now and again :D
dude, you are entertaining as hell, super funny and talent as well. keep the good job bro.
"Sometimes these French boys just want to make some noise! That's okay!"
Words to live by. Thanks, Ben.
Guitar was not heavy enough. I need my head to collapse from heft when I hear Gojira.
Gibson players have no idea what heavy is.
Esteban Aguayo the SG whould like to have a word with you.
@@soullessSiIence you better let Matt Pike know
INSERT DROP BASS MIXED PROPER TO KICKS!
Esteban Aguayo listen to March of the Fire Ants or Mother puncher and tell me that’s not an absolutely brutal tone. And it’s coming from a Gibson LP of course.
Esse cara fala de uma forma tão solta e com desenvoltura que me da alegria. sua eloquência é admirável.
That lesson was on par with a really funny SNL skit. I was laughing the whole way through. Good stuff!
I have waited for more Gojira from you since the dawn of your first one.. Please let this not be the last :)
This video just makes me wish for you to just show us how to do all Gojira songs perfectly.. Whatever you did at shooting star sounded so cool idk what exactly a drone is in that situation tho.
@@stayskeptic3923 Fucking love Deafheaven and SYL!
Surprised he didn’t play global warming for the tapping part
Even Gojira doesn't play Global Warming
*Cries in whale*
Thought it’d be gift of guilt
And no flying whales for the whale part
Or born in winter
Brilliant use of humour and fantastic playing ...thumbs up!!
Thanks for the intro to GOjira!!
