Music
Joe Duplantier's influences include bands such as Meshuggah, Metallica, Morbid Angel and Sepultura.
He was also in a band called Empalot from 1999 to 2004.
Max Cavalera and Igor Cavalera initially asked Jean-Michel Labadie, bassist of Gojira, to do bass duties for their band, Cavalera Conspiracy; however, Labadie was busy with prior commitments, including Gojira. Instead, Joe Duplantier ended up being the band's bassist. Joe Duplantier has stated that Gojira is his main priority and that is the reason he has not done extensive touring with Cavalera Conspiracy. In 2008, Joe was replaced by Johny Chow on bass duties for Cavalera Conspiracy. Duplantier did not appear in the band's second album, Blunt Force Trauma.
