He should have slapped him for that.

The guys in Gojira are truly a treasure. They were on tour with Car Bomb in 2017 and when I saw them in Helsinki, my buddy Elliot (drummer for Car Bomb) asked me if I'd like to meet "the guys" after the show. I hadn't even dared to ask despite being a massive Gojira fan for over a decade, but my response was naturally "uhhh, heck yeah??". So cut to me, nervous, entering G's backstage and immediately being embraced by Joe who at this point had no idea who I was. Elliot introduced me as his friend, and then just sort of left me with Joe. We chatted about personal stuff for a good twenty minutes, then he excused himself and said he needed to hit the shower after which Mario came up to me to chat... He asked me about my band, offered me pizza, and wrote the name of my band on the box. Then Jean-Michel swooped in, offered me a beer, and shit got crazy. We laughed so much for over an hour (at one point Mario cussed him out in French, genuinely upset, for spilling beer on the couch) and J-M just kept serving me beer. I kinda wish he hadn't, that way I'd have clearer memories of this night, but the selfies in my phone were worth it. Anyways, watching this interview really hammered home to me once again why this band is so important. How they treat people (and the Earth) is so, so inspirational.

The Link is a masterpiece and is not given enough attention in their catalog. Probably one of the most technical metal albums ever produced.

I've been lucky enough to see Gojira twice and each time they killed it. It makes sense Mario practices so much especially after seeing how much of a damn machine he is behind the kit. Easily one of the best metal bands out there.

Every time I’ve seen them it’s the most powerful show I’ve ever seen. I must see them whenever they come to town now. They have disappointed me yet

Killer podcast. Best possible person to ask this guy the questions that fellow drummers & fans of his really wanna know the answers to. You did your homework & came prepared. Great fucking job. I was enthralled. Mario is a fucking class act.

Years of grustling have come to fruition. Very nice to see you thrive!

Mario is only of the few people in the world were I would be glued to the screen listening to every word, fantastic podcast

Mario’s humility is very endearing.

This is the first one I’ve watched where you can literally see the adoration of the guest in Craig’s face. You can 100% tell this is a very big deal for him. + Mario is an absolute gentleman.

Mario is like two different souls in one human. He is so cool and down to earth during conversation, and he looks so different while he is playing.

One of the best, if not the best metal drummer today. And Gojira is prolly the best live band I've ever seen.

Love the fact that he takes his job so seriously and wants to perform at his best. Just total dedication.

Mario has the biggest heart man. What a stellar example for the drumming community and world on how to be an excellent human/drummer.

This guy is so humble you'd never realize he's an absolute beast behind the kit. Had the honor of seeing them in 2019. They just seem incapable of putting on a less-than-amazing show. It's also really cool hearing Mario speak at length and deeply about his technique and approach when I'm normally used to only hearing Joe do the bulk of interviews.

So I’ve finished now and…that might be the best podcast you’ve done, Craig. That’s a real highlight in the catalogue. Huge congratulations!!!

Mario's passion and enthusiasm is just wonderful to see.

i want to hear mario drum on a desk for one hour non stop

Holy crap!!! I've been a huge Gojira fan for years now and I've always wanted to hear more from Mario. This is amazing!

1. Dynamics 2. dynamics & 3. dynamics. Mario understands this so well and is such a master of feel. The crowd knows. Can't wait to see you guys August 15th.

I’m not even a drummer, but I love every second of this podcast🤘🏼

Mario is so down to earth, thank you so much for providing this Craig

Have known of Gojira for 15+ years but Craig’s hype over the past few years grew them on me for sure.

I absolutely love Mario, I saw Gojira on last year in Tampa, Florida on Marios birthday. Joe had the crowd sing him happy birthday to him :). Such an amazing drummer and band. Keep it up!!!!

Absolute legend chatting with another legend. This was great! Thanks Craig and Mario! EDIT: When two great drummers have solid multiple minute segments trading back and forth “badugabadugabadop” rythms is golden.

Good to see how much Mario's English has improved over the years. Great interview! Didn't expect to watch the 1 hour duration straight threw, but i did.

10:24 “All The Tears” is for me the hardest Gojira song on drums and it such a amazing song

First time I've ever heard another drummer mention that the click sounds slow when full of Adrenaline, my band will turn to me when I'm not playing with a click (which i struggle with) and say "dude that was waaay too fast" and I'll just be shocked until I watch the footage back later and realise I'm rushing at least 5-10bpm faster! Great Interview, Mario is King!

Man i love Mario. Last year Gojira played in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 and he STOLE the show. His presence on the stage, the drum sound, all was perfect. Massive respect for the man and the group. I cannot wait for they come back. Great great podcast bro. 👏🤟

God Mario’s English has gotten so much better the last few years! Great guy, can’t wait to see them in august

He deserves to be great; he’s so disciplined and hard working.

Favorite episode ever. Mario is what made me buy a kit after being a guitar player and have never looked back ❤

man... how cool is this guy?! Super down to earth and what youd want a musical hero to be.

Such an inspiration, very human person, even if I'm not a drummer, I'll never stop to try to slap that The Art of Dying intro with my hands, trying to coordinate it with my feets...

Even as someone who knows nothing about drums you had me hooked listening to the whole podcast, you're both so passionate it's contagious

Mario has been one of my most favorite drummers for a while, and to hear him and see how cool and respectful he is makes me like him even more. I can’t wait to see them next month 🔥

How can you not LOVE this man???

Watching this a second time. The guy is just a great human. You can see the fan boy coming through occasionally mate haha We all do it. Shout for Nick Barker to be on the podcast 👌🏻

Saw them in Cardiff. Right in the front pit. I absolutely lost my shit when The Way of All Flesh started. What a huge surprise, I had the time of my life witnessing that, quite ironic considering the content of the song. It saddened me to hear mario didn't get a strong reaction for that song.

Such a good time to listen to this conversation !

This is amazing. My favorite band is the Deftones and they had Gojira open for them and they smashed at The Greek in LA. It was a make up show because of Covid and during that time Gojira took off like a rocket. I remember Abe Cunningham say something like, "This might be the first time that the opening band is bigger than the main band." Amazing band and amazing show. I didn't really know them, but was excited to see them and they delivered.

This is one of those podcasts you can hear over and over and over again.. So amazing drummer and same as a person, we love you Mario thank you for being a big influence for me
