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?

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.

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

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

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

Of course, that would be metal as hell

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

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

We can sacrifice Phil in exchange

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!

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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

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

LA 2028? System of a Down.

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

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

Still Gojira

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

[–] nastyyboi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

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

Napalm Death

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

My second choice for sure

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

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

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

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

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

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

[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

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

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗

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

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