Best Video Ever of the Day: Gojira Superfan Gets to Jam with Band on Stage

Raise your hand if you spent hours upon hours practicing and rocking out in front of the mirror to your favorite tunes when you were a kid, imagining you were up on stage with your heroes. Huzzah!

Raise your hand if you kinda still do that inside your head when one of your favorite albums comes on… while you’re in the car, working out, or just jamming by yourself. Heyyyyyyyyy

Raise your hand if you ever thought you’d ACTUALLY get to jam with your favorite band on stage. <crickets>

Gojira superfan Abhinav Yogesh recently got to do exactly that. After spending hundreds of hours learning Mario Duplantier’s drum parts — no easy feat! — and traveling from India to see the band 24 times all over the world, Yogesh got to play “Oroborous” and “L’enfant Sauvage” with the full band during sound-check. Watch the heart-warming (lol) footage below via Metal Injection.

Not sure what’s better —  watching Yogesh absolutely CRUSH, seeing the look of pure joy on his face, or seeing Duplantier be genuinely thrilled at the justice done to his parts.
