Let me start this by saying, "I freaking LOVE Gojira"!  I've been so excited to see this band, I would have paid for tickets to Rock on the Range JUST to see them!  

It would have been a weird thing to do, admittedly, buying tickets to a huge show for only one band, and I still would have checked out as many as I did ... but you get what I'm saying.

This French band has been building their followers over the last few years, and among them, tons of well-known musicians.  This band takes the rhythmic and percussive things that a lot of bands are doing in different directions.  They use odd time signatures, weird sounds, cool tapping riffs, and odd song structures to blow people away.

Check out the song "Explosia" from Rock on the Range, and their latest album L'Enfant Sauvage.  I also stuck their official live video for my current favorite Gojira song, "The Gift of Guilt" below.  I was a little sad that they didn't have the time to play that one, but other than that, their set was awesome!
