Gojira - Ah! Ça Ira (Olympics opening ceremony)

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Also for those interested, someone also ripped the audio without the commentary

 

[CanserDYI]

Not a Gojira fan, but this made me one.

Hell of a performance with great visuals, the local commentators couldn't shut the fuck up during it either.

 

[ImNotAhab]

What guitar was Joe playing? Looked sick.

Yeah I saw a French feed as well and they kept talking during it as well lol

I was wondering he same thing but it looks like the headstock is blacked out on all the guitars

Custom ESP I believe, according to the ESP 2024 thread

 

[Netherhound]

Couldn't of happened to a more deserving band.

Yep that was my next guess. I thought it was a heavily modified LTD XJ1HT due to the headstock but damn didn't realize he was possibly going ESP? Then again like I said the headstock is blacked out

Edit: NVM it's confirmed he's an ESP artist now

Edit2: Jean-Michael is also using Sandberg basses now. No more Fender. I wonder if that means that Christian's endorsement is ending sometime soon as well?

 

[technomancer]

Ok, that was epic

Nothing brings the people of the world together like Gojira.

 

[crushingpetal]

Love.

 

[Crungy]

Goddamn... I never would have expected a band like that doing something with the Olympics. Super badass.

 

[PuckishGuitar]

Love how proud the French are of their DGAF heritage, that song in that style for the Olympics is perfect for demonstrating that. The tone was on point. Really awesome!

 

[Blahblahblahblah]

I would love to have heard the conversation that resulted in Mario wearing a shirt

 

[zappatton2]

A friend of mine described it as Metalocalypse in real life, and I kinda gotta agree, that was pretty awesome. Seeing American theists freak out over it is like the cherry on top.

 

[Riverview]

Easily one of the best metal moments in quite some time . Will be remembered for even longer . Gojira fucking rips !

If Marie Antoinette had her head , she’d be banging it !
