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

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 10 points 1 year ago

Fuck it, let's do Gojira again.

Blind Guardian. Everyone loves Blind Guardian.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Of course, that would be metal as hell

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You got me there...let's go Fuckin Hostile

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We can sacrifice Phil in exchange

[–] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

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

LA 2028? System of a Down.

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Still Gojira

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Pig Destroyer/Misery Index/Dying Fetus/Phobia

[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

Napalm Death

[–] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[–] ChuggingPus@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

[–] nastyyboi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

My second choice for sure

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗
