Gojira - Global Warming [Live at the Silver Cord Studio May 2018]

A few weeks ago, we played Global Warming together for the first time since the recording of From Mars To Sirius (2004). We never played it live before, as it is a challenging one to play, and place in a set list. It’s emotionally heavy, and would almost “hurt” the rest of the songs in a way. We just really wanted to do this on camera for our fans. Global warming is a reality and a relevant topic, we feel it’s good to be reminded of one of the most important challenges of our time: How to grow as a species without being a parasite to our planet, the only home we have. “We will see our children growing” is a mantra for future generations, and in a figurative way we hope the children in all of us will grow, evolve, and take action for a more compassionate and meaningful world.

Global Warming, recorded at Silver Cord Studio NY, April 2018

Engineered and mixed by Johann Meyer
Filmed by Anne Deguehegny and Bunny

The drummer’s ghost notes through the song are amazing

[arthursimsa]

I feel like people don't realise how talented a singer Joe is. It's crazy what he pulls off here. It's like he has several effects he can switch on and off in his voice, screaming with heavy distorsion and still maintaining notes (and producing overtones I guess?). Very impressive.

[Blitz]

"I hold my inner child within
And tell him not to cry: "Don't fear the living"
One day you will stand as a king
And no fear can erase this light below us
Each one of us is now engaged
This secret we all have, this truth is growing
And as a warrior, I have to fight
I can already feel the love I'll discover"

absolutely beautiful.

[_claymore]

I feel like the bass in this song is really underappreciated. it really gives the whole last part of the song a deep and heavy vibe

[Alexanderthegreatdrummer]

Mario, your speed and precision is unmatched. Truly one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[DirtyScab]

I like to imagine they wrote the intro to this song on a day when they all forgot their guitar picks.

[IloveGorgeousGeorge]

400, 000 years ago, Mario and Joe came to this planet from outer space.

[nahabrz]

The fact that this song was written in 2004, and it is getting even more relevant every year is truly impressing. Joe's text are amazing, the best band of their generation without a doubt.

In my dream world, Gojira would release a live studio version of a song each month....

[michelegiannotti]

this studio must be like -40 degrees. mario has a shirt

[lkas]

This is by far the best song to end a album. I think if you listn to From Mars to Sirius from start to end, its kind of a journey, a experience you have to make.

[Chris-henl]

Vocalist is so full of emotions. He can barely stand in one place. Love this performance.

[MoraAzura]

This is incredible. Joe's voice is on point, it is evolving, he is now a master of clean singing, it is powerful and emotional. His growl voice has changed since Magma, and I am diggin' it so hard. Incredible performance, shivers down my spine.

[jackbeckett]

There's such a childlike innocence to those harsh vocals that is a desperate plea from all the good things in this world to preserve and protect itself as it has everyone and everything's best interests at heart.

[jameshovey]

Best part of this is at the very end, when Joseph is still tapping and the rest of the band is kind of in awe of what they all just accomplished. You can tell that a lot of emotion was put into this recording.

[Vamos_Show]

Best metal band in history. Most innovative band. Musicianship. Heavy. Influential. I just can't explain how I feel when I listen to Gojira...and then you have videos like this. I'm just so grateful I can enjoy them. Thank you, Gojira.

[seby]

Joe's voice is unbelievable. So strong !

[kano_from_mk]

I want a girl that looks at me the way the band looks at the drummer.

[SirChubblesSteen]

The bass line at 4:38 is so smooth how it leads into the end of the song. This song is so nice in its "simplicity", I've really learned to appreciate it.

[dsnodgrass]

My hat's off to the bassist. It takes a high level of taste and restraint to play only simple things firmly, in the midst of virtuosi running incredible techniques; without trying to "compensate upward" to run with them. Rick Laird, from Mahavishnu Orchestra, was great at this; his patience and focus were truly profound. This gentleman here is very close to Laird's level. Well done.
