      Can confirm, Gojira is the best live show I've ever seen (both times!) Joe is insanely talented, him and Devin Townsend both with their pitch screaming. As a metal vocalist myself, I am very jealous of the both of them.

      He absolutely is an insanely good live vocalist and done those toned growls better than anyone! That being said they’re definitely doing some layering in the studio and on at least one of those vocal tracks he’s singing cleanly. But that doesn’t take away from the performance one bit

      Yeah man, he is a fantastic drummer, and he plays a Megabell ride, so he’s got a leg up with me. I met him, and got to chill with him for about 45 minutes, before a show in Texas. I was talking to him about drumming, of course. I told him that his drumming informs my playing immensely. Also said that I sometimes want to meditate and get my life right, when I listen to their lyrics! He says, “ No Brother, meditate while playing music!” “Then you will truly know what God is!” Just melted my 🧠

    This is simply one of the best modern metal compositions. This album, The Way of All Flesh, and its predecessor, From Mars to Sirius, are two of the most important and best metal albums of the 21st century. Very happy to see you have the pleasure of hearing it. The last minute or so ending to the song is the "album theme" that repeats a few times across the album.

      It's not hard to do if you can growl. I can do it and it makes me wonder why anyone wouldn't use it, at least a little. It's kind of hard to hit the notes without warmimg up. I think what geebz was hearing was where they double tracked it to make fifths with his own voice.

      @aidancasey6301 Рік тому

      Gojira has a lot of metallica influence, so he may have derived his style a little from hetfield combined with his harsher death influences. Joe has a far more distorted scream than het, but he most likely incorporated hets style in his own.

Gojira lyrics try to communicate some really interesting ideas, and I believe they are well aquatinted with the Gnostic gospels as well. Their music becomes infinitely more interesting lyrically if you have an understanding of those things. From Mars to Sirius as an album is insanely interesting conceptually. Rush is great too, not exactly my cup of tea but saying Gojira has no lyrical depth because an artist you like speaks to you more is just weird.

    Geebz dude....this is the actual one for all Gojira fans who have followed them from the start! Loved your first reaction to an almost impossible song to cover in one take. So much going on rhythmically, musically and just down right overall expressionally from what they can produce in one song. IMO this was their Swansong.... pushing the envelope, futuristic track that can never be repeated again (A bit like Rosetta Stoned - Tool....for its time). Nothing has ever been repeated or touched on any later recordings (for both tracks)....but thankfully we have the privilege to be able to go back and just study, listen and damn right admire what was written musically and lyrically to these absolute fucking masterpieces which were written in that time and period!! Its a good time to be alive with all this music from these great musicians....which are still alive and kicking....and we still get the chance to see these bands live!! Because believe you me in 20-30 years time people will be looking at out generation in envy because they were to young or not born to actually witness these extraordinary bands in the flesh. We are so blessed, so be at peace everyone and be happy we are in this magnificent age of music. Peace y'all....love to everyone x

    12:00 - Funny thing is, Mario's drumming style is more the result of 7 years of Jazz lessons than a direct evolution of those classic drummers. He himself said in an interview that he wanted to learn Jazz drumming to become a better Metal drummer. : )
    13:2 - Yes he was. Joe is one of the few Metal singers who can scream in pitch, which is kind of a contradiction in itself because, in theory, screaming should be pitchless.

    • @unoriginal_name7091
      @unoriginal_name7091 Рік тому +1

      He's engaging his vocal chords too much and if he kept up this style he'd have blown out his voice like Matt Heafy did a decade ago. That's why he's been doing so much more clean singing on the last two albums and why the vocals aren't as loud on Fortitude. Although there's a silver lining in that after recovering Matt's vocals are better on In the Court of the Dragon than they were on Shogun, so maybe the same will be true for Joe?

    • @98jerda

      @@unoriginal_name7091 yeah his type of vocals are kinda exhausting, and for those who started some years ago it was really hard to find a good teacher and/or scientific research on harsh vocals. Even now it's not easy to separate what's reliable and not. As you said also Matt Heafy and Mikael Åkerfeldt went through something similar, finding themselves forced to change vocal style over an issue of non-sustainability. I really hope he's finding a good balance for his technique bc they are definitely one of my favourite bands 🖤

    The vocals actually aren’t layered. He is able to do a very tough technique in which he utilizes both sets of vocal chords. It is one of the things that sets him apart from other vocalists. He does it live to which makes it even more insane. Some other good examples is the gift of guilt and born in winter.

    what you hear at the end of the song is a kind of intro to the next song, in which, the main riff that will sound is presented but in a much more melodic way and reversed, that is why it gives the feeling of transition, because on that album they made that kind of intros in a good part of the songs.

    Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat
    Losing contact with the living
    Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain
    Don't see anything real in the game
    The tension is building constantly
    No reason just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork
    I try to keep an eye open
    And I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time
    Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side
    I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence
    I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside
    I haven't close my eyes in a long time, I am trying
    I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore
    But I'm here to continue, after all I have been through
    I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing
    This life and death more precious than anything
    I won't bring no material in the after life
    Take no possessions, I would rather travel light
    I'm of this kind that kills all day
    But I don't know yet how to die
    Art of dying is the way to let all go
    Within I practice, in the secret of my soul
    My shape in the reflector has
    Now for ever, a life on it's own
