best comment bro

For sure man. It’s kind of like Chevelle. It’s simple but sounds so badass. Gojira just has a wall of sound that not many bands can’t match.

That literally been my major complaint about newer metal. So much complexity rather than just writing good songs. Gojira, Mastodon, Ghost, Volbeat, and a few other modern bands write good songs. I don't think they're really concerned with how many notes they can cram into a bar.

Those riffs were so fucking dope. Definitely a voltron-effect, where the sum is great than its parts. Anothe classic band that is like is Korn. They all add up flawlessly.

Rammstein also has super simple riffs that sound incredibly heavy

+AmIonArock Jari Maenpaa of Wintersun used a Tele for parts in the self title album. Listen to the WInter Madness solos

+Garth S That wasnt a fender tho, it was a Tokai Telecaster ^^

+Deathcorelover 69 Vintage Tokai, good stuff

He added a lot of distortion but you can still hear that tele single coil tone.

I came here to say this! Any idea how he got such a fat tone? Heavy strings maybe? I was thinking about putting EMGs in my tele to give it a heavier tone but that would be a last resort

That's magic bands like Gojira and Pantera. Simple, brutal, and amazing.

i wouldn't call pantera simple

there's no need to admit anything, art is just art

Link Freeman I'd call pantera riffs simple. Their riffs and solos are two different things entirely

@@jeihann exactly.

TechMetalRules and Joes voice

Gojira is pretty much the ideal band: you need every single element to get that massive wall of sound that they are. Remove any one of these parts and you lose some of the power

@@sohamsengupta6470 well said

and the bass drop

The guitar and the drums here are like.... brothers. 🤔

+Kris Ross Same exact situation. I saw them in 2006 I think it was, With Lamb Of God. First song was Ocean Planet. Absoluetly fucking amazing song and record.....

+Kris Ross Awesome story Kris. My life was similarly altered when I went to see In Flames play in San Francisco in 2006. Gojira was one of the opening acts and of course, my girlfriend and I were late. Turns out even chicks who like metal take forever to get ready. Anyway, at the time I had never heard of Gojira, but my jaw hit the floor when i heard From The Sky. Then the place imploded when they played The Heaviest Matter In The Universe. Without exaggeration, that live Gojira set changed my metal path in life haha. I knew none of the songs, let alone their names, but I found out the band was from France and they were called Gojira. I went to Barnes and Noble the next day to look them up on those red box / digital music libraries with headphones and listened to every 30 second song clip they had. Somehow they had From Mars to Sirus in stock. Utterly blown away, I drank that album down. Then I got copies of The Link and Terra Incognita, consuming those as well. Years later, I would hear The Way of All Flesh for the first time on a long drive home, right after breaking up with that same girl who went with me to that In Flames show. She had gotten the album for my birthday, but it became a parting gift. I don't think I've ever felt so cold and warm at the same time. So when you say "thank you Gojira," I totally hear you. I am so glad to have found them, and from a live gig no less. Even as I write this, L'Enfant Sauvage is in my car CD player.

Saw them live in 2002, they were playing in a bar with less than 100 people in their hometown in southwest France (as I'm from there too), I hated metal back then and was only listening to Hip-Hop, but some friends liked it so we went in this bar. I didn't like the concert and spend most of the time outside smoking joints lol. But 10 years later, i began to listen to new types of music, and fell in love with Gojira since then. Also I can't believe how far they have gone since I saw them in this small pub. Lol they have american fans now. They were already really famous in Bayonne back then though, they had many local fans (my friends were die hard fans) but it was 2002, and no one outside southwest France would knew them.

True love bro

Conan O'Brien great story man! gojira is amazing! my profile pic is a shot of mario’s drum kit at a concert this past october. fantastic band live, blew the roof off the place

This one is even a proper single coil Tele, not like Jim Root's signature :D

Those two and John5. I can't believe he is getting that tone on that setup!

ThaTruth223 root uses emgs and john 5 uses dimarzios

Possibly my two favourites too.. Root is just amazing.

Jari Mäenpää...

Perfect description. Thank you fellow citizen of Earth. \m/

Maynard James Keenan yup that's good

Maynard James Keenan lol

Most musician's be like "hurr durr thank teh fans" But then they charge $2,000 a meet and greet.

Suqdis Dique imagine if the meet and greet was like 50 bucks. insane amounts of people would buy and there would be a shit ton of work, not only the managing of the band time but all that safety stuff + they need to have their own time for themselves too, they are humans, they cant be "band mode" all the time

What part of this video gave you that impression?

masterkwaq this had me rolling

masterkwaq PERFECT 😂😂😂😂

Infant sausage

Huge

@@maxkiller5150 yikes

Yes, first time I listen this song my mind was truly blowing!

PSYCLONE23 wall of Death* ;)

haha, if only some toms were added

not the only one that noticed ^^ Very similar yes

It's all in the songwriting

e.g. songwriting :-)

James Burwell Indeed, it is just songwriting. Good songwriting though. I guess I'm just praising it because so many metal bands rely on how flashy or technical their playing is, but its often just a novelty, many can't genuinely write songs very well.

Nicholas Mahoney I whole heartedly concur. When joe is playing an individual riff I'm thinking "any jabronee can play that". But Nicholas is correct putting it all together, therein lies the challenge.

Man, your comment is exactly what i think. It looks sooo simple when you watch the parts. All is in the combination and in making the sound.

One of the best things about Gojira is how *tight* they are as a band. It's "simple", but absolutely airtight without any kind of over-eager gate. Such a great band

Vape Nash Yall

maybe he should also teach his younger brother some beats so he could play the drums.....food for thought

Every time this stale tired comment gets posted on a video it never gets any less funny

+Ryan Berno yes, the guy does not give us bullshit, wish my coworkers would do the same in the office

The outro riff is the same as the intro.

Definitely a stacked humbucker.

probably not, check my channel where I demo my single coil strat. Single coils are vastly undermined.

Mystical I think it's the word, if ever one could describe Gojira

Gaurav Cz ikr

Chris Stevens same bro

Thank you for highlighting the nuance. Interesting.

That's basically the Enter sandman riff

- "Hold my single coil"

Que marca es la telecaster?

"Hold my Tele". 😆

did you say "thank you" on the Frog leap studio (Leo) channel ?

How its going?

+MisterNebojsa hahaha exactly !!!

The lower output is great. You can hear all the dynamics and finger articulation.

Teles are great metal guitars! had a Squier Tele Custom, best thing I ever owned :(
