Probably still Gojira, wherever the Olympics are

It was such a good performance

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.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of Hansi's voice.

GWAR.

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

Of course, that would be metal as hell

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

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

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

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

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

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

My second choice for sure

deathmetal27@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

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