Gojira - Backbone

[Tool78Maynard]

Beat your feet

On the ground now, go! - I love that section so much...its just raw energy..the way Joe says "Go" then the riffs that follow..gets my blood boiling every single time!

[nawirisme]

never expect a French band to be this nasty

[KcinEWofficial]

o wow I remember watching this back in 7th grade when it had like 5k views O.O

[7Bosniak]

French bands are great i saw these guys live when this album came out it was sick, lots of break downs in this album

[BubonicDeath666]

Gojira FTW^^

[voter96]

best name for a playlist ever.

[ShadeCoil]

[hurrrrrdur]

YES! It's about time this shit got recognized.

[LWRCftw]

is it pronounced GO-jurr-uh, or go-JEER-uh?

[mightybigb00]

@LWRCftw go-JEER-uh

[BuiikiKaesu69]

I feel like my life was just a series of insignificant events meant to lead up to 3:24

[CityGuitarist]

3:23 chills every time :)

[EternallyFalse]

1:22 is hypnotic

[Niamorg1007]

I'm finally proud to be French...

Beat your feet on the ground now GO!

[cormierremi]

lessen to this stoned its awsome

[UBConquered]

Press 0:00 for ear rapage

[BestUsernamePossible]

I though that was the pringles man for a sec. Then I realized it wasn't a mustache, but a whale!

[hydothegreat]

Westlife was the advertisement for this video... WTF?!

[justjaseyeah]

__don't bow down__

[metaltera86]

Is this band well known in France or all of europe?

[18RustInPeace18]

@metaltera86 ALL OF THE WORLD!!!!!!

[gavyn551]

my ears i think they are bleeding

[barefootkicker910]

I smoked weed and heard this. I swear I have never headbanged so much in my life. It felt like chopping mountains in half, ripping the ocean apart breaking all hell lose. Never felt this aggressive yet satisfied at the same time.

[TheObolus]

Whoever doesn't like this song must not have a Backbone.

[hyffuguyftg]

0:21 DANISH LUNCHABLE!

[TKVRPRJCT]

@hyffuguyftg I read your comment right as he started screaming. LOL.

[DjSickipedia]

I killed myself listening to this. Then came back to life. Good for me.

[Malaikat31]

One of the best riffs in all of metal, hands down.

[100Aden001]

:X This song makes me feel so alive

[freshaca3]

I get the urge to stomp the ground and headbang

[thederdrik]

Quit arguing with the trolls, these kids are mad their music sucks and they don't have the mind to understand what Gojira is doing. Amazing song, complicated and to comprehensive for their undeveloped minds.

[Fuzzyface96]

Wtf? Look over there in the related video >

"MOM EATS 3-WEEK OLD SON, SAYS SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO"

[EricZedrum]

@Fuzzyface96 My thoughts exactly. What the fuck?

[Sasquatch570003999]

Fucking Gojira is the shit one of the best bands out there and this song just reinstates that!!!!! SO HEAD BANG MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!

[guguigugu]

best metal ever!

[metalhead6912]

dam that whale so fucken stoned ITS IN SPACCCEEEEEE!!!!!!...o_O_O_o

[EaTaesse]

The part that begins 3:26 gave me goosebumps I haven't felt in a long time. This album just gets better for every spin.

[superfartdog]

@discordedusurper :D you're welcome!

[11nephilim]

Perfect song for sex. The riff is a good pace...

Dum da dum da dum dum da dum da... And then the double bass kicks in and you break a hip (:

[9rmetal]

@11nephilim hahah sex with this song will only blow your dick and her pussy

[Alos21]

@11nephilim man you fuck like a bunny

[11nephilim]

@Alos21 not atm...

hip's broken :/

[Gunth0r]

@Alos21 a bunny fucks at 30-50mph

[DreamPurpleFloyd]

And now I'm proud to be French.

[superfartdog]

@DreamPurpleFloyd you should be, parkour also originated in france

[BombtrackRebel]

That whale looks so happy

[superfartdog]

@discordedusurper Gojira = Melodic bad ass metal that slams into your face with 100 tons of force that you obviously can't realize or handle. They know what they're doing, and they do express very well you just don't look for it or pay attention enough.

[irondeth2]

Gojira has to be on gigantour 2012.

[Makearight139]

Ok, time to look at the related videos...

"Mom eats three-week-old son, says 'She didn't mean to do it'"

the fuck?

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@Makearight139 thats cause gojira is as metal as eating a 3 week old child

[Dethklokalmah]

BEAT YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND NOW!

GO!

so much headbang

[sethnuva]

opening sounds like a nirvana song... then you get punched in the chest by a thousand ton weight.

[icthruyounow]

It must've been said before,but I gotta point out the similarity between this songs main riff and a riff Arkangel had in their "From heaven we fall" song.Just sayin'.Anyway both songs could break your bones

[pos6666666]

1:20....fuckin insane.

[TheGhostfacekilla86]

All they do is repeat the same rift over and over...

[joesteinberg1]

@TheGhostfacekilla86 Riff*

[15thedevilwearsprada]

@TheGhostfacekilla86 they start of with the riff at the begining and do it twice during the song, and and so what, dont be so critacal to the best band tht currently walks this earth!!

[GentlySpitItOut]

@TheGhostfacekilla86 Shut your ugly piece for f***ing shit face up!

Im actually just joking.

They do do that sometimes.

But it sounds amazing.

Makes it easier to hit the repest button.

[zombiez23457]

what raw power sounds like in the form of music! <3 gojira more than any other band

[Militiaman2112]

i like gojira.....their original and inventive

[666CthulhuIsMyBitch]

kjkjljhnkjgvhgcfdtgdsdsds

Sorry, don't mind me, just wiping the jizz off my keyboard.

[slaskkuk]

@666CthulhuIsMyBitch So you had to send the comment, okay.

[bludgeon111]

ow i just hit my head on my keyboard...

[DarkWish98]

i totally disagree

[voter96]

gojira owe me new ears.

[Aterflare]

at 3:24 starts the epic headbanging

[fabled444]

@Aterflare ...Its gojira you start headbanging before they even hit the stage

[El3m3ntXIII]

@fabled444 if they could only melt into a perfect blend!

[zombiez23457]

oh jeez how did they get the sound of all those orgasms in just 4 minutes ?? best band in the world.

[FPLS1]

An Earthquake, a Hurricane, a Tornado, a Tsunami, an Avalanche and a Forest Fire all started a gang. This is what the initiation to join their gang would sound like.

[lightthiscity11]

Gojira has the tastiest fucking guitar riffs in metal.

[BuiikiKaesu69]

3:24 = AWWWWW YEEAAAAAA

[SuperBCKMan]

Everyone here does realize that the definition of whale core is METAL (aka anti emo fag stuff) that involves a song about a whale or a band with atleast one album featuring a picture of a whale right?

[i325bmw]

@SuperBCKMan What about Secret and Whisper? They have a whale on the cover.... Totally NOT metal.

[i325bmw]

@i325bmw Yea I take that back... Its been a while since I listened to them.

[lollkikk]

The main guitar riff in this song.. I dont know how to describe how i feel when i am listening to it. It just makes wanna go crazy, destroy things, kick innocent people in the face and yell "GO LISTEN TO THIS FUCKING SONG OR I WILL KICK YOU IN THE FACE ONE MORE TIME!" or something like that.

[sugimura135]

They sound like an unstoppable force of nature, like an epic avalanche or landslide, this song has plenty of kick in it, I like the offbeat snare drum, gives it a more nuanced rhythm

[4whitesharpEz]

this is literally a perfect album

[CheckersTsunami]

The way they added reverb makes their instruments sound unfathomably huge.

[ChaplainDMK]

Any fuck that doesen't listen to this doesen't have a backbone

[FIZZLEB1TCH]

Never start a band. It won't be as good as Gojira.

[BakiNBG]

@FIZZLEB1TCH With an attitude like that of course you won't.

[b3njamin0912]

@FIZZLEB1TCH I disagree.. :)

[bandm1987]

@FIZZLEB1TCH Motivation at it's finest.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@FIZZLEB1TCH have you ever heard of THE BROWNING?

[234167]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE not even close to this bands.Gojira has taken metal into a new level.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@234167 all I hear is a clustered mess... no steady pattern, and I don't know what you're implying by "new level" you must be stuck in the 90s because I know a lot more bands that make this sound how i described it.

[234167]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE actually,you just cant get the melodies and the complicated rhythym it has.try to take some time listening to this band,connecting all the instruments and vocals together.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@234167 yeah....no. I work on a construction site, I can get the same entertainment from that.

[234167]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE well,that shows that you cant keep up with this music.now go back into uploading stupid videos.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@234167 ROFLLLL keep up with music? you sound like a fucking downy. I will, and keep listening to your shitty underrated bullshit.

[Tool78Maynard]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE Your principal told me you were a big fan of linkin park and fail at math.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@Tool78Maynard I'm actually quite well with math, and I don't listen to pop rock.. sorry kid, wrong person.

[Tool78Maynard]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE Give me an educated evaluation of Future Breed Machine by Meshuggah..if you are "quite well" with math. You are a noob when it comes to music. Know your place.

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE Lol, generic Deathcore with Synth, So inventive !

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 do you even know what death in deathcore/metal ect.. means? maybe considering you know so much about "good hardcore music" i figure you would right? and this shit is below generic, it's totally off brand gay shit.

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE How is it generic ? Name one band that sounds like gojira, and are doing the exact same thing. Get the synth out of The Browing and they would sound like most of deathcore bands. And sure Backbone isnt the most inventive song from Gojira but songs like Indians, Ocean Planet, The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe, Unicorn etc.. are all songs that displays how unique Gojira is.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 none, caz they know this bands not selling, so why would anyone want to be like that? and unicorn? roflll are you fucking kidding me?

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE ''cause they know this band's not selling'' LOL, sure man, because when you create music, it's all about the money right ? I'm pretty sure Gojira are far bigger than The Browning, Why ? because they are original and they brought something new to metal. Your argurments are extremely retarded, you can go play somewhere else now.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 you're extremely retarded... these days it is all about the money dipshit... if they weren't getting paid they wouldn't play. rofllll no these guys are not original... i know of too many bands that sound like them. so go be retarded somewhere else

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE You're either extremely stupid or just a bad troll. You just said ''none, caz they know this bands not selling'' in response to ''Name one band that sounds like gojira, and are doing the exact same thing.'' but then you say '' I know of too many bands that sound like them.''... And you didnt explain how The Browing are doing more original stuff then Gojira. Please tell me you're just a bad troll.

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 "You're either extremely stupid or just a bad troll" ROFL coming from someone who uses the term "troll". dumb shit.

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE ...wow..... It seems that you can't find a good argument to back your what you say. You still didn't name a band that sounded like Gojira, Oh right, you said that no band sounded like them because they arent well knowned (which is false)... but wait ?? You ALSO said that you can name too many bands that sounded like them ?? Strange..

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 godamn another dumbass confused pos. I said it sounds like that gay ass band called possessed.... do you know how to comprehend what you read, or do you need a language arts teacher, downy fuck?

[guitardude901]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE You didnt said to ME that they sounded like Possesed...and what the fuck man ? Are you deaf ??? They sound NOTHING like Possessed....You're so entertaining hahahaha

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@guitardude901 you nerds type the same, sorry I got confused. Ever heard of this band called Lifeforms, they're badass

[EternallyFalse]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE you gave me bands that are all jent. wtf? gojira isnt even jent. gojira uses 6 strings

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@EternallyFalse wtf does string number have to do with anything? the fuck?

[EternallyFalse]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE lol, tell me one band that sounds like this, please lol

[MrNinjaSpartan]

@EternallyFalse I'm not the guy you're replying to but I guess that Meshuggah kind of sounds similar

[EternallyFalse]

@MrNinjaSpartan i agree but barely. meshuggah plays fast polyrythms. the tone isnt exact but close

[11nephilim]

@EternallyFalse trepalium are kinda similar but that's only cos one of the dudes from Gojira actually worked with them...

[PSILOCYBETRIBE]

@EternallyFalse ok it sounds like that gay ass band called Possessed. have you ever heard of bands like Lifeforms, king conquer, Ease of Disgust, catalepsy, ect? prob not, caz your bad taste prob makes you think this is the best band out there...

[EternallyFalse]

@PSILOCYBETRIBE someone got offened jeez

[valek89]

I saw they on Sonisphere in Madrid this year WAS TOTALLY PERFECT LIVE! hard to forget this live.

[sc0ttyb0dy123]

I remember first seeing these guys in NYC. Didn't know shit about them.They opened up for Lamb of God and a few others..Gojira put on such a powerful show, they were the best performance that night.I gotta light up now..

[jrado911]

This song + gym = better than steroids

[SinisterGrapefruit]

I like it, despite the black metal drums :P

[Thrall079]

Wow... 1000 Likes, time to mess that up.

[MrPurpleguitar]

i'm relatively new to this Band....So could you Guys recommend some albums for me to buy? Thanks ;D

[metalxorxdie]

@MrPurpleguitar all of them! haha...but this album (From Mars to Sirius) is a good one!

[MrPurpleguitar]

@metalxorxdie Yeah ;D I bought this and The way of all Flesh yesterday....And they just BLEW me away ;) I don't know why I wasn't into these Guys sooner :D I expect I'm gonna buy the rest of their discography pretty soon :L

[Taranis00]

@MrPurpleguitar All four albums are good to buy.



[MrPurpleguitar]

@Taranis00 Ok ;D I'll buy all four :)

[brandonthefirst]

@MrPurpleguitar This album is my favorite. So heavy and yet, calming. I also like Celestial and Oceanic by ISIS.

[15viceandvirtues]

Gojira is some of the heaviest shit i have ever heard! Holy crap, hearing this band for the first time around 4 years ago was literally like a sledgehammer to my face! Freakin amazing!

[Thespaceforurmom]

This must be Courage Wolf's theme song.

[minodul]

Seen them live. First concert even i enjoyed without alcohol. Pure music. Only hatred, love and ROOOARRR.

[Zyborggian]

Heaviest metal song ever written. Prove me wrong. Oh thats right you can't.

[Khachik2003]

@Zyborggian Meshuggah- Bleed

[silenceineverywhere]

@Khachik2003 Agreed, Meshuggah wins.

I prefer this though.

[Khachik2003]

@silenceineverywhere I prefer this too but he wanted me to mention a song heavier than this and I did :)

[KARMICKAMIKAZE]

My girlfriend asshole is so tight i could never get my slong in, But the intensity of this song has given me the power to finally harpoon that shit!!!

[Muksmiduulit]

@KARMICKAMIKAZE lol wtf

[pr0llyn0t]

@KARMICKAMIKAZE I lol'd

[pr0llyn0t]

Respond to this video... Kundalini

[Muksmiduulit]

FUCKING INSTANT HEADBANGING! I JUST SMASHED MY BEER!!!

[cheyannehoruth]

ugh, damn, this song is so nice to listen to when your mad ;)

[MyLOLPwny]

This song needs to be renamed to Broken Backbone

[ghostrj]

This is so metal i just ate a brick

[guitardude901]

@ghostrj FUCK YEAH

[JujuIllusion]

Freaking ending :o

[willemx3]

My Favorite of Gojira!!

[MsKopusha]

I'm an electronic music junkie and even I cream myself to this. If @ 1:23 you don't feel like you can bring down the Great Wall of China then you're emotionally bankrupt. Gojira makes metal sexy.

[gothikgamer]

@MsKopusha Metai is sexy! ^^

[killswitchengagefan4]

@MsKopusha lol..i thought 1:23 would be with epic drums..heavy good drums and ace guitars..no mate i couldn't bring down the great wall of china with this and i am not emotionally bankrupt this just isnt the music to bring down the down the great wall of china i got stuff thta i could though!

[TheJerry834]

@MsKopusha eh dubstep isnt very far from metal, i'd say dub is as powerful as metal, but its a matter of taste.

[xrobwx]

@TheJerry834 I agree but only if the stepper is talented.

[TheBigDayton]

This is the Sickest Intro EVER!!! Its so simple, yet so amazing!!!!

[TheZairae]

Man... I remember when I was thirteen listening to Linkin Park, Korn, Rob Zombie and P.O.D and thinking they were tough shit. How wrong was I?

[satan6rapes6god6]

@TheZairae Haha same with me ;D

[assassinso]

VADER!!! IMPURE!!!

[HannahLover138]

@assassinso Just what I thought too. They took the Devilizer drum intro from Machine Head's song 'Vim' too. Oh well, Vader's still sick!

[TrueMetalForLIFE666]

@HannahLover138 Don't defile Gojira and Vader with your faggotry. Burn in the fires of Satan.

[morbidasylum]

sex.

[Killyou2day666]

Best band ever!

[cling13]

Is this considered Metalhead music?

[nerdheadbanger]

@cling13 yup

[OrgynalVeniu]

Its like 100 tons of some heavy addictive good stuff.... You take it, can't stop, but can't die.... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­Y??????!!!!!!!!!!

[emokiller17]

Saw these briefly at sonisphere this year but the tent was full and we were stuck at the back with all the tossers who cant decide whether or not they want to be there -.-

[stigno87]

beat your feet on the ground now GO!

Gojira = musical sex

[faroosa91]

This song should be on guitar hero 

[Bizibizidis]

@faroosa91 A song it's not enough.They should make a Gojira Guitar Hero.

[Mikko2143658709]

@Bizibizidis A darn game isn't enough! They should obivously make a Gojira signature guitar = ='

[CerebralArchitect]

My face was torn clean off at 1:13

[newirtuelife]

BREAK THE UNBREAKABLE !

[datsyukdeke1]

In fact, I listened to this song for the very first time when I smoked for the first time. Perfect.

[LAMBOFGOD690]

its like tool n lamb of god made a baby hahaha

[nadman14]

these riffs weigh ten tons.

[spoilt14]

this band makes tears come out my ass!

[T3DGCoFuya]

Is that a whale in space?

[RubberBandsMakeMyDay]

That whale is like....glub glub I'm a fuckin whale and then this eargasmic music comes on and then the whale is like what the fuck people can't sing underwater...? Can they? o.O hm...

[TeddyBearAutopsyUK]

@RubberBandsMakeMyDay little known fact: the french can sing underwater. Just most of em sing like poofs so the whales stay back, these guys are the only ones brutal enough to roll with whales.
