Based on Gojira's excellent performance during the Olympics, which band from your country would you like to perform at the Olympics in your country?

Probably still Gojira, wherever the Olympics are

It was such a good performance

2 things:

  1. Please include the country you are choosing the band for/from.

  2. I think it's hilariously self centered that the Christian community (only the weird ones) is so offended by what they think is demonic/sacrilegious. Its not fucking 1500 any more and not everything is about you

I'm not a huge fan of his but I think Devin Townsend would blow some people's minds on broadcast television.

Fuck it, let's do Gojira again.

Blind Guardian. Everyone loves Blind Guardian.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of Hansi's voice.

Fuck it, I want Amon Amarth for LA. Make it happen!

I'll accept Kataklysm, Cannibal Corpse, Metallica, or Dimmu Borgir in a pinch though.

Idgaf about where they're from, welcome to the melting pot, motherfuckers!

Pantera. Have them play "Walk" with the speed walkers on stage

If it's happening in Montréal, I think it should be Voïvod for being Québec's most popular metal band.

It wouldn‘t be appropriate at all, but celtic frost would slap. Not that they would do concerts anymore tho

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

LA 2028? System of a Down.

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Still Gojira

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

The winter games coming to SLC would probably go with some local YouTuber who covers Def Leppard on a lyre.

Not my country, but We Butter the Bread with Butter. :)

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago

Napalm Death

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

My second choice for sure

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'd personally like to see Fleshgod Apocalypse. Their orchestral blend of metal would be really epic.

[–] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[–] ChuggingPus@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 2 years ago

The whole segment is a 20-minute Rime of The Ancient Mariner stage play.

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago

For entertainment value: Powerwolf

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Faith No More. If they’re metal enough for this question.
