(REACTION) Gojira - Ah! Ça ira - Live at the Olympics

This is a historical, legendary moment for metal, one that will forever be remembered, as the first time a death metal band performed in the opening ceremony of the Olympic games, and we celebrate it by complaining about commentators and a trolley!

Vraiment fier d'être français et que l'on soit le premier pays à accueillir un groupe de métal dans une cérémonie des Jeux Olympiques 🔵⚪🔴

Chapeau à vous, les cousins! 😀

"Les aristocrates on les pendra" quand tu reçois la terre entière....! C'est moyen même pour un fan de metal

[@trokoshea1]

@@encelade3310 Comme historien, je peux te dire que cette brutalité du message est inhérente à 1789. Il faut assumer, ce qui fut fait admirablement par les concepteurs de la "cérémonie".

[@ErwanKermarec]

C’était clairement une putain de claque dans la gueule. Perf de fou 🤘🤘🤘

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

@Psycho__Mantis thanks for that btw... on behalf of all metalheads!

[@samcrorie]

The most metal thing I've ever seen. Thank you France and thank you Gojira. This is now on Spotify by the way. 🤘😁🤘

[@PernelTV]

Yeah, it's unexpected, here (in France) people are not metal fan, not in media, not in radio, not in TV (only time there is metal on TV here, it's for mocking...). Everybody knows it exist, but it's really "underground". Never ever heard metal in public, most people said "it's not music, it's just noise, it's evil" ... Few hours before Olympic opening, I heard about the presence of Gojira in the opening, almost everyone had doubt, because we are really close minded about it (we = overall people), and in one only second, I knew it was them, and WOW, great step in music, great step for my country, great step for events in general. Really ballsy.

[@puccaland]

​@@PernelTV You must be very young then because metal was on mainstream TV until the 90's then when cable TV got more widespread like for anything rock music and music in general is to be watched on TV networks specialising on that. Metal is mainstream nowhere other than perhaps Finland and Norway.

[@PernelTV]

@@puccaland I'm 35, and no, in France, it's absolutely not mainstream.

[@puccaland]

@@PernelTV I never said that it's mainstream in France I said it's mainstream nowhere but perhaps in Finland and Norway.

[@PernelTV]

@@puccaland But you say in was mainstream until 90's, and it wasn't, at least not here.

[@corpseflowerbaby]

I get goosebumps every time I watch this. Such an incredible performance!! And I could watch that drummer all day. Just epic! 🤘❤❤

Mario is a bit of a snappy poetry in motion behind that kit!

[@LeperMessiah2]

Gojira has released a version without disrespectful commenraries recently. No video though. Whalecore 🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

Whalecore for the win!

[@sandradulbecco5190]

Hello from France...thanks for your commentaries...just to explain the "trolley" : it is in fact the representation of Paris' coat of arms, which is a ship with the motto "Fluctuat nec mergitur" meaning "it floats but does not sink"...as for the Castle it is indeed a real castle turned prison during the French Revolution and where Marie-Antoinette was emprisonned...as for the song "ah ça ira..." performed here, it is a famous revolutionary song against the aristrocay, and Gojira adapted it to a more metal sound....

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

Thanks for the trivia! They could've done a more representative ship instead of the trolley looking thing hehe!

[@sandradulbecco5190]

@@thewindmillfullovcorpses if you look here at the coat of arms of Paris, the ship is quite similar : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Paris

[@MoSkent1]

​@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Obviously you still have a few history books to open, which would prevent you from making these kinds of comment about the boat representing Paris since 1210 and even well before, in the 1st century AD with Tibère and "Les Nautes de Lutèce" ! As for the Opening Ceremony, apart from a few lengths and IMO too many "Drag Queens" on the Passerelle Debilly, at 66 years old it's the first that I've seen that's so unique, so crazy, so thought-provoking, so unexpected (Gojira is proof...) and so innovative ! Parading on The Seine in front of more than 320,000 people, it’s different than doing it in front of 80,000 assholes sitting in a stadium, as has been the case since 1896... Peace bro' and no hard feelings ! 🤟 🎸

[@ST0RMSHAD0W_117]

Idk, thought the castle where Marrie Antoinette was executed was metal asf enough

[@SwedeSpeeder]

She was imprisoned here, she was executed elsewhere.

[@jeanmichel4730]

On Place de la Concorde​@@SwedeSpeeder

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

@ST0RMSHAD0W_117 seems pretty metal to me!

[@DorianTheReaper]

there is an official audio version available on gojiras channel now and also on spotify. i highly recommend listening to that one because it really ets the point across of how good this song actually is.

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

Totally gonna check that out!

[@batigo211]

This was without a doubt the BEST of the opening of the Olympic Games and this band making Metal stand out. This band was already known to metal lovers for their great activism, their lyrics, their simpolism, everything, and with this presentation they broke the INTERNET. For me, the charm of Gojira lies in how genuine they are, they do not want to pose as "bad", in addition to the archetype of their lyrics about real problems, and not about mutilations, murders, nuclear winters or things like that that are a constant of the gender. Added to all this is an enormous technique of interpretation, composition and a real and artistic declaration of principles, similar to bands like Tool, Mastodon, Soen, Devin Townsend Project/Strapping Young Lad or Meshuggah.

[@magaliehadjisotiri9255]

This was amazing! I loved it 😂😂😂😊 We got a heavy metal history lesson from the French

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

If you look at the horrors of history, it is pretty metal though ain't it? Gojira gets it!

A shit show? It was epic!

[@trokoshea1]

Some conservative people have problems with inovation, you know. 😁

[@koolio4997]

There were trans only for 2 minutes on several hours of show and people talk only that about it, it’s ridiculous... Trans are part of the night world in France, especially in Paris, it is very famous, like "moulin rouge", they are known to do shows in nightclubs, they are not necessarily gay.

[@rx7dude2006]

It was awesome.

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

We haven't followed it closely but it sure was a s**tshow in the media and on the internet! We merely meant to say that our feature of the song is unrelated to any other drama that may have occurred. We just wanna see Gojira play on a friggin Castle!

[@SophieMarteil]

Commentators are a shame.. they don't even know what they are talking about

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

That is often the role of commentators indeed!

[@aaohknsn]

Next up: an Olympic synchronized diver performs at a metal festival. I don't know how well you guys know Gojira('s work), but check out Remembrance (live) and Esoteric Surgery from them.

[@thewindmillfullovcorpses]

I heard Esoteric Surgery, will write down the other for potential future featurage!

This song had no reason to go that hard😈🤘🏻, wish it was a bit longer tho

Going hard for no reason is totally my jam!
