Wow. I would never expect any band to cover this song. It's so underrated. This is probably my favorite cover of a Metallica song right next to CC doing No Remorse. Both so goood!!
@@blueskythinking4745 james specifically...the record company demanded a more radio friendly tune and this is what happened. Low and behold a few years enter sandman comes out and there's a lot of similarities.
I know Gojira are big classic Metallica fans but I'd expect them to cover something like Fight fire with fire or Trapped under ice. I thought they did a great job with this song though. \m/
@@ARG0T but compare escape with fight fire with fire or ride the lightning for exemple is probably the least heavy song in that album (considering the major chorus)
The producers at the time wanted another track on the album. James probably doesn't like it because it wasn't really something he voluntarily wanted to write and didnt have the time to put much time or emotion into it, as heard in tracks like RTL and Fade. Still a great track by both bands!
It's not bad, but I thought lars snare sound on TBA, load, reload, garage inc were incredible. This snare sounds almost like a midi to me (i know it's not)
Maybe its a choice, they dont do solos but they do some leads and harmonies maybe they think that soloing can destroy the ideia and the feeling they want the song to transmit. but yeah its a bit weird
Guys its simple. Metallica is one of the fathers of what we call HEAVY METAL. Gojira had Metallica, along with bands as Death and Meshuggah, as their inspiration. Almost half of all metal bands out there, had Metallica as their inspiration. The sound of heavy metal, as it developed the last 2 decades would be completely different if not for Metallica. I agree that Gojira play much harder and more complex music than Metallica. I dont like Metallica that much myself but lets be realistic.
Does anyone know where this song actually comes from? I heard it would be on a Japanese version of "From Mars To Sirius", but it seems like it was not released in Japan, I asked a few Japanese stores. So where is this from?
Le refrain est juste méga entraînant !.. Ils dégagent une putain d'ambiance dans la musique, semblable et en même temps différente à celle de Metallica.. Dur à expliquer..
You have to understand that the songs are more then the solos... Whatch Gojiras live performances of "Clone" (i recommend the "live at Vieilles" - version), "In the forest" and "Remembrance". :) Regards.
most people don't know what great music is. You can think Metallica is the sun fine, to me they're just a grain of sand. it doesn't matter how many albums one sells, it's the sound. there's unsigned bands more talented than sign bands. the mainstream will always look down on real talent. Most people do not have an ear for music to save their lives.
i think becuz they made load & reload cuz they wanted to explore new soundd by themselves. but this track, it was made in a rush i think, plus theyre forced to make it. but i still love this track tho.
imagine a gojira cover of dyers eve.
check out revocations cover of it
I would sell my kidney for that to happen
Oh my
Or anything on And Justice For All really.
Imagine if they covered escape
I wanna hear Gojira's cover of The Thing that Should Not Be.
Nothing would make me happier
Shiiit that'd be heavy as fuck.
the heaviest matter of the universe :')
I would pay real Francs to hear that
Id love to hear them cover Fight Fire With Fire or Creeping Death
i aprove
Fight Fire with Fire, definitely.
Nah. Ruining one Metallica song is enough.
@@dmitryowens Go fuck yourself hater.
@@panicoestatico9260
Awww, look - a butt-hurt little Gojira fanboy. Better get some IcyHot for that sore ass and vag.
I like both bands and this is fucking awesome.
I WANT A GOJIRA ALBUM OF COVERS
YOU AND ME BOTH
I was thinking this while listening to this again and found that I liked this comment at some point already. Yes they absolutely need to do this.
I'd give my life savings for a Gojira cover of Blackened
holy fucking shit I would kill somebody for that
Perfect
this song is called black fucking neeeeed
His voice is so extraordinary good.
😆
Gojira and Metallica binding their forces sounds so powerfull, excellent
+Jelmer van der Zaag With Lars on drums \m/
Imagine Gojira covering The Thing That Should Not Be
Wow. I would never expect any band to cover this song. It's so underrated. This is probably my favorite cover of a Metallica song right next to CC doing No Remorse. Both so goood!!
Tyler Harrison hatebreed cover this song too
Tyler Harrison and apparently Metallica hate this song lol
Vader's cover of Fight Fire With Fire is awesome too.
@@blueskythinking4745 james specifically...the record company demanded a more radio friendly tune and this is what happened. Low and behold a few years enter sandman comes out and there's a lot of similarities.
Revocations version of Dyers Eve is fucking lit
I like this photo, because you immediately notice, how Metallica members show themselves so crazy and cool, then Gojira members look so shy :D
I bet GOJIRA would do a badass version of Happy birthday
Hell yeah
I know Gojira are big classic Metallica fans but I'd expect them to cover something like Fight fire with fire or Trapped under ice. I thought they did a great job with this song though. \m/
+Ironman52398 it sounds like this song is more gojira's than metallica's
This is practically within Gojira's pacing style. They made this song work well because of it.
This song is what made Mario wanting to start drumming.
This is Mario's song
Escape is the most Gojira-sounding song I think Metallica has written. The tone fits Gojira’s style
I don't know why but the thought of a heavy band like Gojira covering a song like Escape cracks me up.
"Escape" has a powerful meaning before us, both bands know this.
Escape with the rest of Ride the Lightning are a huge reason as to why "heavy" bands play nowadays. Give credit
no
they are fans and they are memeing lol
@@ARG0T but compare escape with fight fire with fire or ride the lightning for exemple is probably the least heavy song in that album (considering the major chorus)
Waouh ... Même en studio , Gojira dégage une de ses puissances ... C'est ce que j'admire chez eux
Gojira covering one of the best and most underrated Metallica songs? Where has this been ❤
Metallica..favorite all time band..Gojira..current favorite band...mind blow by this haha
One of my favorite metallica songs covered by one of my favorite bands.
metallica is mario and joes main influence and joes fav album is ride the lightning and marios fav song is escape. sooo it was a matter of time
Of all the songs for a band like Gojira to cover. Haha. Hats off to them for taking it on, though.
+Evan S salute
i love the vocals too
That solo sound....my god, it's beautiful
This is a fucking good cover.
Ironically, James hates this song...
because he had to write it in last minute with Lars in studio
last 3 days*
The producers at the time wanted another track on the album. James probably doesn't like it because it wasn't really something he voluntarily wanted to write and didnt have the time to put much time or emotion into it, as heard in tracks like RTL and Fade. Still a great track by both bands!
Guilt, maybe? This is a Dave song, probably initially rejected by James.
+Xylene Cobalt - then he should hate Enter Sandman too as it's pop sounding
Ouah super cover de la part de Gojira ! je l'avais jamais entendue !!
Wow! If i did'nt knew that this song was from Metallica i'd say Gojira wrote it themselves. The song fits well with their sound and playing. GOOD JOB!
For a band that doesn't do solo's they pretty much nailed this one lol
con el sello inconfundible de Gojira!, tremendos!
Wow that song... reminds me childhood... Yeah!!!
Fuckin cool as fuck
badass job.
I'm not usually so fond of bands covering other bands, but Damn! This is great!
saw gojira in phoenix. one word....BADASS!!! want to see them again soon!!
I need to frame that pic...my two fav bands of all time together!!! \m/
great cover btw...Escape is an underated classic
Ficou muito massa! Show de mais!
how this masterpiece can't be on spotify
How would it sound if metallica covered a Gojira song?
Ali Doğaç Köse Disastrous
Ha! Don't make me laugh 😄
Everyone would do ok except lars
good idea 😁
Hire a new drummer then things are good
Escape is one of my top favorite Metallica songs and my favorite from Ride. Metallica doesn't respect this song enough to put it on any live sets :/
We don't play it because we (Or rather James and Lars) were forced to write the song... \M/
Robert Trujillo .... O_O Hi there. Well I love those lyrics man. One of my top favs, probably the best in RTL for me.
Fleck Just so you know, that's not really Robert Trujillo.
***** I figured it wasn't but you never know!
Fleck it's not true either, nobody forced them to write anything
Guys and gals, seriously....no comparations between 'tallica and gojira, they both rules and this is an awesome cover.
This is how a snare drum should sound. Lars, take note
It's not bad, but I thought lars snare sound on TBA, load, reload, garage inc were incredible. This snare sounds almost like a midi to me (i know it's not)
@@shamicentertainment1262 i think hes talking about saint anger lol
@@surfingkiwi828 yea, he's still stuck in 2003 🤦♂️
ha ha so original omg lol lmao
James loves it ;)
best cover of metallica ever made..
KrobellusArtefact the cover of enter sandman by Motörhead is better imo, and her cover from whiplash is good too
Ok, this is what's weird here. Gojira never solos, sure they have leads, but they never really do solos. Yet they can do solos, so why don't they?
Maybe its a choice, they dont do solos but they do some leads and harmonies maybe they think that soloing can destroy the ideia and the feeling they want the song to transmit. but yeah its a bit weird
c1a2s None the less, they do inspire me just like Opeth, and other prog bands do
Kevin Goeltz
yeah
Core just doesn't do solos
Thomas Duncan But they're not anything core. They're progressive.
perfect sound .
One of my personal favourites from the Ride the Lightning album. Didn't know they covered it, fucking awesome.
De la vrai musique!C'est bon pour les oreilles!
I just saw Metallica and Gojira. Fucking RAD.
öne of my favourite Metallica songs! great taste!
Brutally good, spot on guys
the old legend and the new legend
Wow the vocals are awesome!!! He should sing more like this!!!Cant wait to the new album \m/
wait what??? OMG..I love this!!!!
yet another great band that the greatest band ever influenced...
I love this so much.
Amazing song. God job :)
@MultiFets You are crazy, those are there most underrated songs and both are great, Metallica fan my ass.
Runnn!!! is Gojira!!!!!!!....... This is amazing!!!.......is a god job!!
I never expected Gojira to do something like this. It's not their style. But I like it, it's really good.
Andrei Raya Bocharnikov Gojira was influenced a lot by metallica :)
it's from joe's favourite metallica album and the song that got mario drumming. therefore one could argue it's absolutely their style.
INCREDIBLE!

gojira > metallica..... gojira is just the best band ever they are great and i cant get enough of them....
Love this!!!
Exactly, they are some of my favorite guitarist, they are straight up Beast!!! and i agreed, Gojira works better without solos. :D
SWEET!!! Killer cover....I like!
Great cover.
cela confirme que gojira est belle est bien un des plus gros groupe international actuellement
un chef d'oeuvre revisité avec maestria
Hehe so cool the pic. Very nice cover!
Gojira MetallicA , excellent , merci , tank you
Love it
The one song the band hates/regrets... covered by the best modern metal band. They should do disposable hero's instead
Cookie Monster covers Metallica's Escape
John Erickson hahaha :D
John Erickson I would not be heartbroken if Joe replaced James for a whole album.
These are not "cookie monster" vocals FFS! He actually sings with melody. Are you death?
"are you death"
lol
Le refrain est juste méga entraînant !.. Ils dégagent une putain d'ambiance dans la musique, semblable et en même temps différente à celle de Metallica.. Dur à expliquer..
PERFECT
j'avoue c'est énorme
Great band
mortel les gars!!
God that outro sounds so good
You have to understand that the songs are more then the solos... Whatch Gojiras live performances of "Clone" (i recommend the "live at Vieilles" - version), "In the forest" and "Remembrance". :)
Regards.
magnificent
NICE and Thank 😍
This feels more like "Escaped from Hell" or something XD
Ces mecs sont géniaux
holy christ these guys are badasses...
Is there any way to get this on Spotify?
I couldn't find it. Hate breed covers it well, and that's on Spotify
I love this song and Gojira are a fucking great band to cover it
i demand a metallica redo :P joe sounds so awesome on this one
the breakdown its heavy as hell and the solo for fck sake!! and the outro...METALLICA!!
most people don't know what great music is. You can think Metallica is the sun fine, to me they're just a grain of sand. it doesn't matter how many albums one sells, it's the sound. there's unsigned bands more talented than sign bands. the mainstream will always look down on real talent. Most people do not have an ear for music to save their lives.
I love the Chorus of escape
tain enorme la reprise !! je la connaissais pas (la honte etant un fan de gojira...o_O)
Does anybody have FLAC of this?
Holy shit that voice...
If James hates making radio friendly songs then how does he explain Load and Reload?
Times change
Hard rock was kinda dead when these albums were released
And the black album
i think becuz they made load & reload cuz they wanted to explore new soundd by themselves. but this track, it was made in a rush i think, plus theyre forced to make it. but i still love this track tho.
i mean load isnt as heavy but it isnt really that radio friendly, most songs are longer than 4 minutes and they do have a lot of cuss words
Metallica should cover THE ART OF DYINGby Gojira!
Epic
@JustForComments666 same!! I mean I've seen them live FIVE times!!! and each show surpasses the last!!!
This is fucking awesome! Two of my favorite bands. Fuck yea! \m/
Yeah !
