so who here loved gojira's set?? i thought they where amazing they really blew me away!i wish they'd had a longer set i rushed out to get From Mars To Sirius! Joe Duplantier is a really nice guy and a great guitarist not to mention hot and french!!!
anyone on mainland Europe you really missed an amazing band!
oh and if you've been under a rock Gojira is a French progressive death metal band. Their sound combines elements of thrash metal, death metal, progressive metal and sludge metal and as a result some sections of the press refer to them as the 'french Mastodon'.
Gojira was formed in 1996 in Bayonne, France by brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier, who played guitar and drums respectively. They were joined by guitarist Christian Andreu, who had seen the brothers perform live. Originally called Godzilla, they were forced to change their name due to legal disputes. They decided on the closest name to the original, which was Gojira (The original Japanese name of the popular science fiction creature.)
Musically, the band plays a mixture of several different types of music, including death metal, thrash metal and progressive metal, but there are also more atmospheric sections to many songs in a similar style to the American metal band Mastodon. They also utilize a range of different vocal styles, from deep death grunts, to higher pitched screaming, and from coarse singing, to much cleaner vocals.
Lyrically, the band deals with subjects such as the environment and how people treat it. In particular, their latest album From Mars To Sirius has many songs which lyrically show a concern about human-induced climate change and how it could affect our planet.


in a nut shell they rock!

Id like to see them open for trivium again, maybe even a headlining tour they would have to have some other really good bands though.

they're definitely growing on me. They remind me a lot of mastodon... anyone else?

i thought they were ok when they supported trivium, the music dosent seem too varied, a lot of strumming the same note over

i liked them better than sancity or annihalator (sp) but i dont think they could handle a full on crowd. I'd be quite content to have them as a supporting act tho nice set up for triv or any other good band.

I wouldnt go see them headline, but they're still good, its just, I dont know, they cant handle a crowd yet or something.

I like them, theyre a good band. However i dont think they would be great headliners.
But yeah, damn right i would go see them again. If they were headlining i would probably need to want to see the support acts aswel.

I don't think they're worse than MCR (though I did vote for that option), and I don't have anything against them, but they were dull live. They were quite useful for bar time, so maybe I should have voted for them to support Trivium again!

Hell yeah i would see them, great live show!!

I saw them before amon amarth and COB. I thought they licked the cats ass. Pretty shitty in my opinion.
