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 2 months ago

It was such a good performance

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago

Fuck it, let's do Gojira again.

[-] Jobe@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

Blind Guardian. Everyone loves Blind Guardian.

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Of course, that would be metal as hell

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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!

[-] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 5 points 2 months ago

LA 2028? System of a Down.

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

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Still Gojira

[-] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Pig Destroyer/Misery Index/Dying Fetus/Phobia

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

For entertainment value: Powerwolf

[-] 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

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago
[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 4 points 2 months ago

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

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[-] ChuggingPus@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

[-] 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!

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] 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.
