Gojira - Ah! Ça Ira (Olympics opening ceremony)

[nightsprinter]

Soapbox stand parroting the same shit loads of people have over the years: Props to France because Roger Gooddell doesn't have the courage to let a popular metal band i.e. Metallica etc play the Super Bowl Halftime $how. From a business perspective, I get it- attract younger/wider range of viewers, be HIP or whatever, but there's been some real stinker halftime shows the in the last 20 years and Metallica deserves it and I'm not a Metallica fan in the slightest. When Jay Z brought back the late 90s/early 2000s hip hop montage a couple years ago it was pretty nice. Now do classic metal. They won't. Instead we'll get more Moron 5 and The Wkendesque stuff. They're trying to pull Taylor Swift because that's their golden goose. Boooo.

As a fan of football, It would be nice to see rock and metal bands perform at the Superbowl.

I can see why you would say Metallica should get the halftime show, but I would personally prefer to see Dying Fetus tearing it up.

But of course. Unfortunately I must keep my desires rooted in reality

Has Nickeblback done the super bowl? It feels like they would've done it by now, and it also feels like that's about as far into rock territory that the superbowl people would venture.

Don't give them any ideas

 

[manu80]

Kiss has done it , right ? Foo fighters would be ultra metal for them, ah ah ! and people would be pissed because it's doesn't represent everyone...
It's funny as pop and rap are really the only things allowed right now....RnB, techno is all good in france, everywhere, all the time and some visuals/messages are sometimes on a way lower level than metal....but metal still has its reputation you know anyways.....But when I see that the Hellfest is full every year, and it helps the area to live when it's on, metal can stay as is. It works. Sometimes it's fine not to follow the mass market...

I like metal and I don't like Gojira. I imagine people that don't like metal will really not like Gojira. Your mileage may vary.

Well, at least the non-metal people won't be saying: "I'd rather just listen to Morbid Angel!"

 

[nightsprinter]

Iron Maiden would be such a good halftime show.

 

[SalsaWood]

Maiden steals every show they play. People would just go home after halftime.

 

[Chrome Dinette]

I didn't know much about Gojira, but I thought the performance (live or otherwise) and the overall concept was great.



Canada isn't in the running anytime soon, so it's a shame we won't see Voivod in an opening ceremony.

Next time it's Canada, give me Devin Townsend with Celine Dion! René Angelil would spin in his grave.

The problem with the people at the Super Bowl is that they are not there to see the game or the half-time show. They are there to be seen so everyone knows they dropped a small fortune on the tickets.

I thought they were only there to see their queen Taylor Swift and watch for the signal so that they can activate and enact the woke liberal agenda?

Been living here 12 years and I never understood why Voivod were so big locally until I saw them live opening for In Flames and Meshuggah last year. Holy crap they are great.

This is a band that I've tried to get into, mostly because some of the bands I like, like them. Where would recommend I start?

See them live? I tried to get into them before that happened and I never really could, it just didn't click for me.

When I saw them they were promoting their latest release, Morgoth Tales, and played mostly from that album, which I really liked. It's the only album I've actually given a full spin, and individual songs from others.

Good luck. They didn't work for me.
