-I wanna crush people... Joe Duplantier, 2017.

5:12 joe duplantier playing Fade to Black, amazing, love to see it

Eddie Van Halen, still contributing to great guitar everywhere.

"It's not like axe FX or digital... it's the real deal." 4 years later Neural DSP get Archetype: Gojira out and it sounds just like the real deal. Good job.

Joe is a fresh breath of intelligence and humble appearance in the often too cocky world of Metal.

The most beautiful thing in metal musicians is when they on the stage, they agressive and brutal but in conversation they so nice and positive.

Paraphrasing: ‘If there’s a mistake on the album, you can hear it for the human aspect....’ Gojira makes no mistakes, magma was beautiful

THIS is the way you sell amps. Already hooked

Gojira has one of the most powerful and clean sound and now i know why. Fantastic band.

Dang his english is really good.

This amp sounds fantastic and I swear by it. However, it ultimately lies in the hands that play the instrument. I'm positive that Joe chose the 5150IIIs because it gave the most honest representation of what his hands were delivering. He's a vastly underrated guitarist because he's also the lead vocalist. So really, it's the perfect combination for him.

"You just put everything at noon. Except the gain, crank it up" that's what i like to hear

My new favorite band. I just bought all their CDs the other day...see u in Brooklyn next month

That Fade in Black sequence, damn..

I love this guy. Can listen to him play that amp all day

Lol. "except the gain. crank it up."

I WANT TO CRUSH PEOPLE :D

I could listen to him talk about guitar gear all day long

Unique sound style of the band ... Emblematic and highly recognizable. These are the things that make them iconic ...

I totally respect what he's talking about in reference to his production choices such as trying to get a more dynamic sound rather than the crushing wall of sound and the more "human" apect comes in, but damn.... ... I wanna get crushed with a wall like the first time I listened to From Mars to Sirius.

We got a brand new EVH 5150 IIIS with the matching 2x12 EVH cab into the shop I work in. Fuck me silly, that thing is such a killer amp. The best amp by far we carry is the Friedman BE100 and we have an order for a couple of the Butterslax (Bill Kelliher sig model) and those have a backlog. This EVH 5150 IIIs has now taken the top honors in our amp room, and that is not an easy throne to claim. We shut down for the night I plugged it into the Friedman 4x12 cab we have. I had it up to 7 on the volume and we set off the alarm in the Chinese restaurant next door. We have never had an amp do that, and we have sold the Slash head and the YJM head from Marshall. And it sounds like an afterburner on an F-14 Tomcat. We sold it yesterday and are trying to get a few more. Badass as all hell!

5:49 this is the greatest music lesson you'll ever learn in your lifetime. Ever. #nomids

Lol hes playing fade to black its known they love metallica

That pinch harmonic riff from magma is so sweet.

Seen these guys twice in 5 years. He ain't.kidding. Those amps are on stage and sound brutal.🤘

Great Band, and Great Amplifiers. 🤘...

Awsome video and great band. I have the 50 watt version and sounds amazing. I could only imagine what this beast sounds like playing through it.

And they really attracted my attention from first seconds on stage (first time I heard them was live in 2019 in NY) - very good music.

That amp is so awesome, man. I like how Joe explained the EQ part on it

Can't wait to see them tomorrow night!

6:00 by putting these settings at noon. I like the way he says that instead of "half way".

Can't wait to see you in a week!!

Love how he plays Metallica. Like just straight up "yeah this is what got me into it"

I think I’m way too old for this trip, at least for conventional people but truly, JOE is a leaving ICON of mine. I stumbled upon a live performance of them by accident, but I was immediately hooked. Magnificent BAND !! Exciting to watch. Totally committed to their craft, like they have no life outside their music. They look totally genuine metal beasts. Joe is the soul of Gojira, without a doubt, and the rest of the band his devoted hitmen. Joe takes a piece of dust and makes pure inventive raw diamonds out of it. There is no song of them that doesn’t bring me joy. I’m glad to have lived old enough to taste great passion again. Long live Gojira ! 👀👽😜

Belle interview. Jamais déçu avec Gojira.

I love the white ASAT. Beautiful guitar.

LOVE these amps!!! EVH GEAR is the BEST!!!!

I can’t wait to have one of these. I’ll have to work hard for a while but it’ll be so worth it

I love his tapping riffs on the low strings.

Such a crushing tone. 🙏

I saw Gojira last year, about exactly a year ago. I mainly went for the support band which was more of a post-hardcore/punk band (odd choice as Gojira opener) and my friend and I were blown away by their massive, gigantic sound. They sounded so fucking good, it might have been my favorite show, soundwise. We stood fairly in the back so no pits or WoDs to add to the experience. And their drummer! Holy fucking shitballs! His legs are like triggers from a machine gun. So accurate and never sloppy. Crazy talented band overall and great live show.

Joe seems like a super nice guy. One of my fav bands also.

I love the fact that there's just one of each guitars at a time on the record. Still works as a wall of sound. A lot of people over-layer and over-correct, to my taste anyhow. I wouldn't want a denser mix, really. It's also encouraging. Don't have to do a gazillion guitar tracks to sound relevant.

I just got an EVH 5150 III stealth 50 watt yesterday and I can confirm it is an absolutely crushing amp. I have 3 other heads including a Marshall DSL 100 and I run an overdrive in front of them to boost the dirty channel. The EVH doesn't need a boost whatsoever, it is an acredible amp.

When ever someone is saying they don't love or like Gojira.... they must be trolling themselves or others.... if you like metal or not.... Gojira brings so much more to the table then "just" metal

I have the EVH 212 combo. Great sound.

Joe is one of my favorite frontman guitar players in all of metal.I like his style.

Fade to black at 5:11. Been my favorite song for years now.

Sometimes I wish I was born in France, or Germany, or anywhere in Europe due to the fact they all learn English early.. I was surprised how well Joe's english is. And his metal voice is amazing. He can "scream" at speaking volume in a small room, and its not "loud", just powerful.

Magma is no doubt the best album that came out...it's beautiful and powerful

I love how Joe played fade to black ❤️

this was awesome!

Je connaissais pas le bonhomme (ni le groupe, à part 2/3 chansons), et ben il a l'air sympathique en plus d'avoir d'une certaine humilité. Ca fait plaisir !

This is the answer why I love EVH amp... GOJIRA !!!

If I ever buy a tele style guitar, it's gonna be that one. Nice modern and sleek take on that body style. White with black binding, blank ebony fretboard, matching headstock, H-H pickup config, wheel style trussrod access(every guitar should have this), compound radius fretboard, locking tuners, 1 volume/no tone and the volume pot is well out of the way, and it's a hardtail. What's not to love? Those are pretty much my ideal features when spec'ing out a guitar. The only thing I would've done differently is gone with a plate style bridge(hipshot style) compared to the Tune O Matic style. Only because I prefer how my wrist sits on that type of bridge compared to a ToM bridge, but that's splitting hairs since I own guitars with both styles of bridges and can play both fine. Just looked the guitar up on the Charvel website and it only retails for $599? Pretty good deal for those specs, but this is 3 years after the fact and I have no idea when this guitar came to market. Oddly enough I stumbled onto this video because of the EVH heads, but now I'm gassing for that guitar. Great.

Yes you can play with everything at 12 on this thing and it's great. A dream.

Doesn't get any better than Gojira! \m/

Gojira is an elite metal band. Creative, original and accomplished. And his rig sounds fantastic.

Hell fucking yea! Love those evh iii el34 !

I appreciate that he uses one of his cheaper guitars live, not many musicians will use their cheaper affordable signature on stage. It sounds great too!

He gets a killer sound. I really REALLY love my EVH. But my one and only (AND stupid) gripe is that the power switches are on the back. It's a silly gripe, but when your amp is against the wall at home, it's a squeeze to turn the thing on :(

Nice! Very interesting and I'm not even into the band! Maybe I'll give them a try now. I wish you guys would put out more el34 vids! I'd love to hear it dialed to a brown sound/hard rock type of setting.

Gojira is badass, great band! Peavey designed it. It's the 6505 now, Eddie took the 5150 name with him when he left Peavey to start up his own company and makes clones of that orginal amp for his EVH brand.

Playing that fade to black i see, nice

Ok this amp sounds BRUTAL.

He sets his gain way higher than I expected.

Saw these frenchies open for opera in Nashville at war memorial auditorium. Bad ass.

EVH should add a power scaling with the heads just like combos. It will fly off the shelves before you can count to 10.

AWESOME !

Never met a more soft spoken guitar player talk about crushing people in such a heartfelt manner. Gotta appreciate the guy🤟

*I want to crush people* "Joe Duplantier"

I love his vocals. But once he started playing Metallica I loved him as a person.

Not enough ppl thank Eddie Van Halen for guitar tone, Evh and Peavy 5150/ 6505

I wish they would make an EVH rackmountable preamp....that would be awesome!

On peut tout de même admirer toute la complexité des riffs de Gojira... x)

Just turn it up to 11 tomorrow night, August 5th!

He's using the blue channel! I've read on so many pages that people think it's a muddy channel. It's crunchy and heavy, sounds so damn good. I think most people's ears are just broken from using Metal Zones and shit. This amp is perfect, like a 6505 and a JCM800 in the same box.

It does me good he plays Fade to black, my go to metallica song

Axe fx and " virtual sounds" took some hard hits here lmao

In France, I’m pretty sure their language classes are really important. That would explain why his English is so good. In my German class, our teacher told us that they take learning languages very seriously in Europe.

It's Joe-gear-a

This is the main reason I bought my EVHIII

Damn, I'd love to have an amp that brutal

If you can tell the difference between a Kemper with a good EVH profile & an actual EVH in a live venue, I'll give you the golden ear award.

god i love my EVH 5150 III. @Symmetrical Defiance

I use a multi FX pedal mainly cuz i'm poor. I use the amp models at noon and add an OD to boost the signal and give it extra oomph.

awesome

got me the 50W version, \m/

Best amp heads out there evh rules

3:33 "I was really uuhm, pumped" ... missed opportunity to say amped

🐥🐾🐞 amazing🐝thank you so much🌏

Can Gojira freaking headline in the US. They are not a support band. They might be the greatest live band I’ve ever seen

8:05 exactly how i feel about my peavey 5150 that i got

I think it's the best way to record guitar. It's how I do it. Sounds unbelievable.

I want that amp so bad

You know what all great metal guitar players have in common?.....that right hand tightness and precision

Gojira is the best music for the gym.

Cool dude

Gojira, fucking rocks!

Hey Joe what speakers are you using?? I have the 5153 50 watt with the 5153 4x12 cab. Stock speakers.
