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.

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

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

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

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

Of course, that would be metal as hell

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

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

We can sacrifice Phil in exchange

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

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

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

LA 2028? System of a Down.

[–] voodoocode 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Still Gojira

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

My second choice for sure

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

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

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

For entertainment value: Powerwolf

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

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

Napalm Death

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

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

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