[@joelyjamz]

What did you think of this video??

[@edbi5505]

Cette performance était bien en direct, en France nous n'aimons pas le playback et le pratiquons très peu ....

[@davidhabert]

@@edbi5505 ca c'est vrai, je suis à moitié Français et à moitié Anglais et je sais que vous êtres raison.

[@antikoon254]

btw it was not french television but a spanish one. Cannot ear the difference? Oh sorry you're english 😘

[@GINGERALERR]

I'm not a metal person and that performance had me crying. So beautiful, so epic, so original.

[@sreneethomas]

Absolutely live! I watch the olympics opening ceremony every olympic year. And while watching it live on friday, this performance started and I started yelling ITS GOJIRA!!! 😂 Literally jumping up and down. What an amazing performance, with the french historical context, it was literally art!! So proud of them, and so hapoy for all us metal heads worldwide!! Thanks Gojira. 🖤

[@stefanbierganns3193]

I feel you, did the same...and it made me proud being a metalhead at that moment.

The best comment

[@avengedmetal7214]

No, this happened live. I saw it live on tv the other day. Lady Gaga performed first, and then after a lil while, Gojira did this, their rendition of 'Ça ira' and with Marina Viotti (the opera singer on that ship). I still can’t believe that they’re the first metal band to perform at an Olympics ceremony, and I witnessed history live on tv!!🔥🔥🔥

[@joelyjamz]

It was so so good

[@Tritoness]

Very hard to believe this was played live. There's a difference between singing live and having a whole band playing live. So many eyes and they all have to perform and start in time where they haven't been able to rehearse.. And indeed no drums are mic'd, so this has to be playback, which only makes sense in this context.

[@danythedog7908]

Lady Gaga n'a pas jouer en direct .

[@zukijauna]

It was not live. At least not 100%. If you look close you will see that the drums and opera singer are not miked... the rest could have been live. Some expeculate that only the lead singers voice was live...

[@booli8542]

Commentary isn't from French TV, it sounds spanish I guess.

[@joelyjamz]

I just saw it and presumed it was 😂

[@dirkdouglas6373]

100% spanish lol

[@anahivega4281]

Yep, it's from the broadcast for Mexico 🤩🤘🏻

[@hassenmh2850]

Thanks for this comment, French here and I would have expected that from an American commentator but from a Brit, like what the hell?? You can't tell the difference between French and Spanish, for real?

[@davidhabert]

Oddly enough, I also know that the commentary isn't French, because I'm half French and I would pick up on that very quickly if they started speaking in French.

[@nikkos34]

*Spanish commentator speaks* Him : "of course it's french television"

[@Youdoyouyeah]

History of France, of revolution, and its chaos told through the most metal of metal bands in Gojira! LETS FUCKING GO

It was so freaking awesome gojira ❤

[@jeremygautier8717]

Hello, thank you for your video and your reaction, we are very proud in France of this ceremony and this painting. It represents the revolutionary history of France, the building is "La Concièrgerie" a former prison in Paris where certain aristocrats were imprisoned and executed during the revolution. The boat that we see parading represents Paris and its motto "Fluctuat nec Mergitur" _ (It is beaten by the waves, but does not sink) and of course the blood that flowed during a large part of the history of France . So much pride to see this in the eyes of the world and especially all the positive reactions from the Metal community and the world in general. Thank you

[@joelyjamz]

Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching

[@clio2rsminicup]

There were no comments to break the sound on French TV to explain the scene and the place, we know perfectly our History. This is Spanish language not French, so on a Spanish channel TV...

[@joelyjamz]

👌

[@Ouiskey]

The commentary was spanish man haha

[@joelyjamz]

Yeah was just watching and didn’t have time to listen 😂

[@digitalhydra4332]

This performance was so metal! I loved it. If you are new to Gojira and interested in diving into their music, I would suggest any of the following 3 songs to start with. The Art of Dying - studio version The Gift of Guilt - live at Brixton Academy Flying Whales - studio version If you like any/all of these songs, they have a rich catalog of top tier songs. They are an amazing band, one of my all time favorites. 🤘🤘🤘

[@joelyjamz]

Amazing

[@jad_mus]

The art of dying and the 45/4 "polyryrhmic" intro on drums 🤘

[@hakandelabiarritz6750]

[@didiercorot3696]

The spirit of Metal has reappeared in the eyes of the whole world with GOJIRA at the Olympic Games 2024. Thanks to this french group and to their unique performance which has embellished and revived this music. Their staging will remain anchored in the memory of those who love the Metal and in that of the Olympic Games. A big thank you also to FRANCE who had the audacity to have a Metal band play for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. (Google Translation)

Did... did he call them 'GojYra'? The band that was originally named Godzilla and who changed to Gojira - the original Japanese name - due to copyright concerns?

[@secti0n31]

it was 'performed' live, but recorded in advance. Joe's MIC might have been live, and they were 100% playing every single note up on those balconies, but what we 'heard' was recorded in advance. Probably for all the performers but maybe not. Like you said there were no mics and none of the guitars were plugged into anything. But Joe's vocal mic was wired and went down the same cable path as his harness.

It was so cool to see
