"Emotionally really into it" Joe has said in interviews they don't play Global Warming live because it's heavy emotionally and would be almost a set killer.
Gojira's a bunch of fucking geniuses. The bassline being a preamble to the melody is such a cool touch I didn't notice before, but it really feels like it pulls you in to the track even more. It goes from being soft, to heavy, to just plain haunting in the end: super fitting for its name.
Gojira is like Queen, it's emotionaly effective, it's seems easy but it's not,it's very well strutured to have maximum impact. Vocals are very expressive
I honestly just think Joe is a performer. He makes things looks more intense than they are. I'm not sure obviously but he has always been all about putting on a show live. So my guess is his "strained" sections are similar to how Devin Townsend will make it looks more intense than the actual effort he is putting into it for theatrics.
Totally. Performance is a big part of putting on a good show. I always advise people put that sort of flare on after they've mastered whatever they're doing so that they can vocalize safely.
Lets see.. anybody... even ATTEMPT this vocal performance live, while playing that guitar part lol... not going to happen buddy. The effort is the performance, don't let his raw skills fool you, this is hard, and he thrives on that.
@@jordanjoestar8839 he also puts so much into this song because it's so personal, it means so much to him. He's pouring his whole being into the performance which is also why they'll never play it live either.
Oh man today i was just thinking about when you gonna analyse Joe's vocals and I became so happy when i saw this video :D Waiting for the vocal analyses of Luke Griffin from Acrania and other nasty slamming brutal shit. Love your content dude keep up the good work \m/
I saw Gojira a few weeks ago at the KnotFeSt Roadshow. They SLAYED and Joe's vocals were amazing. Thing is; he didn't go all out with the distortion, like he does on the record, or in recordings like this. Luckily, because of his vocal style and it always having a pitch with the distortion, he was able to simply sing and it still sounded very good. But, this led me to beleive that he actually does just belt his heart out when he's on-stage or in the recording booth. Raw emotion and the drive for a good performance fuel's that gorgeous voice of his. Unfortunately that means, after a long tour, it gets strained, and he can't layer on the distortion the same way. And that's why he sang for most of the set I saw them play, and only dirtied it up during parts that go really hard. That's my theory anyway. Sombody who knows vocals needs to sit down with him and have a talk sometime, get him to explain how he does things; because they sound so damn good
I know thats common for some vocalists on tour, to save their endurance and hold off on their distortion. I'd love to talk with him about sometime but first he'd have to know I exist! haha
I've noticed it before too that a lot of Gojira's songs are super simple to play but they are powerful songs. Just goes to show that you don't need to do technical stuff for it to sound good or interesting.
About that outro thing and the crowd being quite. I saw them on Tijuana a year ago and when they played people were just sitting and standing there and I thought "maybe they don't know them" but as soon as the band asked for screams the crowd went crazy and as soon as Gojira ended like half of the crowd left. It amazed me and made me happy how we were all there just watching the amazing performance which is super weird for a metal band
That Louis Armstrong thing that was mentioned reminds me of the chorus of Dance of the Manatee by Fair to Midland, might be worth having a listen to that song to compare it if you haven't heard it. Definitely not something that you hear often. It feels to me like more of a compression on the vocal cords without being heavily distorted to create a scream sound. I do it when singing along to the song I mentioned, and it feels a lot different from screaming, it's not easy to maintain either. Would be interested in hearing your take on it.
I love that video because it's a live recording of them playing. There's a part where Joe gets the lyrics wrong - the first screaming bit, but he still delivers such a powerful performance.
I got to fly down for a trip to Washington from Alaska, to go to Knotfest this summer and these guys were insane live! I got chills like the whole damn time. I love this band! Lol
I love Kardashev ( The Almanach is awesome. Beyond Sun and Moon might just be your best song.) I want more or that duo thing. And I want an At the Gates one. Dude has to hurts his troath doing that.
22:10 I never really noticed that but using the bass to foreshadow the vocals is really cool for this song. Bass can really be the the one thing in a song that holds everything together. Can you imagine if it was just the vocals over the whirlwind of notes Gojira plays? The bass gives the melody something to grab onto and allows the song to groove. Thank you for pointing this out I dont think I would have ever caught that myself. Definently subscribing 🤘🤘🤘🤘
tbh what makes joe’s vocals so magic is that he’s gotten the professional training so he knows how to do it without getting hurt but can hit the raw emotional power associated with no technique at all
@@KardashevBand You guys really are incredible! Can't say I ever encountered a band that sounds like yours. Truely original and unique sound! I will continue support you guys in the future!
Been trying to make a playlist on Spotify of "melodic harsh/scream vocals." Gojira is one of the only bands that do it, which trying to think if Crowbar does it, or if Kirk only has a rhaspy voice.
I'd love to see you look at Marcus Bridge from Northlane, he's extremely talented and is a fantastic clean singer along with his distortion-oriented vocals. Keep up the great content, very much enjoying all of your videos.
Bruh. That’s exactly what makes Gojira so great. The chorus riff to THIS song of all songs takes you to some black metal vocals (wtf ever I don’t listen to metal by sub genre) when the closest they ever were to that was their Godzilla, pre-Gojira days. Anyways, point is they create that atmosphere that takes you into a-whole-nother form of metal. They have that heaviness. Blast beats, groove, that slow chugging type shit, speed, name it. They can integrate traits from throughout the metal spectrum. I found it funny you hear guttural low over the chorus riff for THIS emotional yet still heavy song. Parallel Shift, Natural Selection, Inadequate - Rings of Saturn
YES! YES! Simplicity is key. The heaviest riffs, breakdowns, anything that’s real heavy is hardly complex, prove me wrong. Something about it. Except Meshuggah, those fuckers have a groove untouchable & a complexity unparalleled. It’s not right how they effortlessly combine groove, complexity & heaviness, but they make it right.
Not gonna lie, your videos are some of the best videos out there for metal vocals. You mentioned vocal compression in your "let's do low vocals" video (ua-cam.com/video/-e7F_yi_WOg/v-deo.html 7:57ish) and I was wondering if you could cover that in a future video (unless you already have and I'm a dumbass). Black tongue's vocalist alex teyen had some good vocal compression from what I can tell, I'd recommend coma or second death. Either way, your videos are super helpful and I'm really glad you exist.
Thanks man! And yeah, I definitely still want to do that video. Right now I only have time for one video a week but once things level out I want to throw more instructional videos out there too :)
Hey man I love how your break vocals down and explain it all etc.... any chance have you done any reviews of shrine of malice he has a strange high pitched sqeal in his highs I’ve never heard before and he’s young as fuck
Très cool. Intéressant. Fun laugh of the guitarist and beautiful voice of the vocal coach, awesome skills. I hope that you'll do another Gogira review in the future. The song 'born in a winter' is in a very different style vocally, very interesting. ''low lands'' is interesting too. Stranded, silvera. The gift of guilt live at brixton academy, flying whales live crazy, the heaviest matter of the universe at hellfest.
Do some Opeth guys.....Burden or may be Dignity or may be Lovelorn Crime. Edit : now that i know that you are a deathcore singer, do their heavy gutteral songs too.
If you do Gojira again, react to anything from their 2009 shows (Garorock, Rock School Bordeaux, etc). Joe's vocals sadly have taken a toll through time, and even if he does still sound really really good, his peak (IMO) was around those years, and his vocals are really something to behold in those shows.
If you want a cool Live Session, check out Trivium (live in chapman studios) - Down from the Sky. This wasn't long before the lead singer blew his voice out, and you can sorta hearwhy :)

"Emotionally really into it"
Joe has said in interviews they don't play Global Warming live because it's heavy emotionally and would be almost a set killer.
Which is 110% why they should end every set with it
@Jack Leone dude his body goes through so much in a set are you kidding
Easily one of the most emotional performances ever recorded.

Memento Mori GOJIRA is not a metal band there a spiritual entity!
@@chrismckinney788 they are more. They are deities
It's so cool that we're getting more videos from a metal vocal coach that actually demonstrates the vocals instead of just talking about them.
Oh God, my Gojira boys
I'm a simple man, I see Gojira, I press like.
You got me curious, how about some older gojira, like Love? His vocals where a tad heavier back then
Honestly, I really want to do gojira again with a better video and audio setup. Maybe I'll do some of those older tracks

I enjoy this so much, duuuuude
I believe his breathing technique here (the jump in shoulders as he inhales) is a conscious decision related to the simultaneous guitar-playing.
All time favorite band here. Mario is just a phenomenal machine.
I've noticed it before too that a lot of Gojira's songs are super simple to play but they are powerful songs. Just goes to show that you don't need to do technical stuff for it to sound good or interesting.
