It is not easy to impress a hardcore RAMMSTEIN fan but this was phenomenal! Music, representation, location, historical content, everything is just perfect. Love to watch and hear it over and over again. Vive la France!
@@Hamter_mental_counseling This is an adaptation of a national historic song from the french revolution. What do you expect?! also they didnt have long to perform
Gojira doing the most Dethklok thing possible for the country, singing about dead beheaded queens on the prison they were held on before their execution and ending it with blood everywhere.
To anyone wondering : the woman at the beginning is a representation of Marie-Antoinette beheaded (she was queen of France during Louis XVI’s reign and she was executed during the French Revolution). The building is the “conciergerie de Paris” in which she was imprisoned before her execution. She sings : “it’ll be all right, the aristocrats to the post lamp; it’ll be all right, the aristocrats we will hung them!” which is a pre-revolutionary song sung by the people of Paris. The boat at the end is the emblem of Paris. At the very beginning of the video you can also see a remake of the very famous painting “La liberté guidant le peuple” (Liberty Leading the People) by Delacroix. I hope it helps understanding how great this part of the show is!
Spectaculaire! mais petit anachronisme… le tableau représenté (la liberté guidant le peuple) fait partie de la deuxième révolution française 1830 alors que celle de Marie Antoinette est de 1789, mais personne ne l’a remarqué contrairement au slip de Philippe Katrine 🥴
Thanks for this great explanation of this part of our history. Just a precision, "Ah ça ira !" is rather to be interpreted as "that's enough !" to express the fact that people couldn't stand the situation any more. See you!
@@Thundering19I don’t really agree. “That’s enough” would be translated as “ça suffit”. I don’t think “ça ira” can be translated that way. But thank you for your comment!
Imagine the phone call "yeah hi Gojira this is the Olympic committee, how do you feel about opening the Olympics with a badass metal version of a song about the french revolution?"
The correct answer should have been, " Call Gautier Serre. When it comes to opera/ metal fusion that is more French than a baguette smoking a cigarette, he's your guy". But no..... we got this weak mediocre bullsh!t instead.
@@The_Hagseedyeah, if you wanted to cut your audience in half (or a third). It's cool NOT to like something and also NOT take time out of being a brooding elitist jackass to comment poorly about it. People like YOU are why everyone is happy about this performance: moments like this are usually ruined by gatekeeping "metalheads". Also.. not to get too into this, but Igorrr is still finishing up touring for an album they dropped FOUR FUCKING YEARS AGO.
There is an interview from Gojira where they explained when their manager told them about it.. They were speechless for several minutes 😆.. As french, I'm so proud of their performance !
I’m not the biggest metal fan but this is the greatest performance I think I’ve ever witnessed. There’s just so many layers as to why this is awesome. I feel like the only downside was I didn’t get to see it live.
AS A LIFE LONG METAL FAN IN HIS 50'S THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT METAL MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT, AND ALWAYS WILL BE ABOUT! OPEN YOUR EYES AND MINDS, BECAUSE IT IS THIS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND MIND OPENING! METAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Metal and opera aren’t as different as people think. Opera is very metal in a lot of ways, as metal is very opera. Metal is close to classical music too. The similarities are crazy
Seeing Gojira kicking ass at the Olympics makes me really want Finland to host the Olympics again to see what they'd come up with. They're the metal epicenter of the entire planet.
@@juliogutierrez7497 Honestly in hindsight, they might just go for Poets of the Fall now that Alan Wake 2 made them more well known to people who don't normally listen to rock music outside of The Eagles or something.
Possibly the greatest moment in metal history
Absolutely
Hell yeah!
100% agree!
Agreed bro
No
Finally a version without the damn commentary
they cut out the fireworks at the end tho which were sick
Word!!!
not just that, I think this one has better audio quality? (There are other no commentary ones)
I want to post the remastered video and audio but youtube says I don't have the right. How did you do it ? 🤔
@@chestmetalcovers idk but I'm subscribing to you if you manage to do it hahaha
This made me cry 🥲 I am so proud of gojira ❤❤❤

Fucking beautiful.
The only thing I cared about on the Olympics
This was a monumental performance! Chapeau!
this is cool as fuck i’m glad the french are proud to showcase gojira in front of the world they deserve it
There have been a bunch but NBC is taking them all down super quick
This is unoriginal. Sounds like it was made 20 years ago. Really shows that metal is over as a genre.
@@Hamter_mental_counseling Nice troll

Amazing show of gojira
Holy fuck!!! Goosefuckingbumps!
DAAAAAMM!!! I can feel adrenaline all over my body!!!
Im not into metal but i had tears in the eyes amazing perf and the musicality
Mario hitting those drums like they were the French Aristocracy of 1799
I've probably listened to this 100 times. So epic!!!
Очень круто! Огромный респект из России!
I love it! proud of my country!
Enfin la version sans les commentaires débiles des journalistes sportifs
Cant wait to see these guys next month in Kentucky
Still gets goosebumps from this performance 🥶
Well done!!!🎉
Lo mejor de la inauguración y lo hizo una cantante de ópera y una banda metal.
This makes my chest tighten and eyes well with tears. What a beautiful performance.
Mario beating those drums like they owe him money, is a beautiful sight
Thats just a normal day for Mario. He beats them like that at EVERY performance
@@jburnham9109 Well that's awesome, my wife and I are seeing them in October with Korn and Spiritbox!
That‘s my favorite part
They probably do
like the red-headed step-child of a rented mule.
Que exquisitez
FUCKING HISTORIC
Fucking epic broski
Metal is Love
Soooo cool! I was so proud when I found out they played at the Olympics. Proud for metal and more respect for France.
Greatest opening ceremony in Olympic history
the shot with the torch bearer overlooking the performance fucks so hard
"Assassins Creed : Olympics Edition"😁
This whole performance was pure magic!
You ain't lyin'...
You nailed it.
@1:20 agreed
amazing
I've been looking EVERYWHERE for their opening that didn't have any god damn commentary in it. So happy to finally see it 😭❤️
Please put this on streaming music platforms. This is one of the best things in metal history ive ever heard!

GOATED moment in olympic history!
Translation : "Don't fuck up with France, remember history" . Merci Gojira, c'est epic ce que vous avez fait guys !

A song about french revolution...at an elitist games ceremony that in order to happen, homeless people had to be shuffled away from the areas.
@The_Hagseed "metalcore" meanwhile there was not a single breakdown or djent riff in sight
There is an interview from Gojira where they explained when their manager told them about it.. They were speechless for several minutes 😆.. As french, I'm so proud of their performance !
This is so fucking cool!!!!!!!!
The day when a Metalocalypse episode played out irl 🤘🏻
Absolutely brilliant
This is possibly the most epic thing I've ever seen.
I love how there are people from all over in the audience and they are all just losing it
🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
This is such a jaw-dropping moment in rock history. The entire chateau is turning into a stage for the song
O dia que Gojira entrou para a história!😮
This made every metalhead proud 🫡
Really? I found it embarrassing
Get out of here, ur not a real metal lover @@Hamter_mental_counseling
@Hamter_mental_counseling. We found our metal elitist in the chat boissss 🗣🗣🗣
@@Hamter_mental_counseling always one 😂🤦♂️

This is wild

1:21 , the best scene so far !
GOJIRA claimed a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics for this performance 🏅
they absolutely deserve a medal.
@@edmundelee9283
The Metal Medal
Enormissime ! Enfin on montre le groupe français numéro 1 dans le monde actuellement.
Aya Nakamura peut aller se rhabiller.
not just the gold medal.. they claimed all forms of STEEL/METAL 😂😂
What a performance what a band
It's 2048 "Remember the year Gojira won the Olympics at the opening ceremony, dear?"
In 2048 I will be 55. Stop reminding me lol
@@PlyrMava.You are 14 right
@@adorablehomestatus you are a predator, right?
@@Hamter_mental_counseling I am just asking their age cause they said their 55 (in 2048) what else do you want me to say
@@adorablehomestatus you say nothing. You don’t ask a 14 year old to confirm their age. I’m going to flag your account.
epic performance
Most epic Olympic Moment EVER!
Those drums
かっこええやん。だれや文句言ってんのは？
フルで見られるのはこのチャンネルだけです！感謝しかないです🤘
As a lifeling guitarist, I can only dream of being strapped to the side of a fucking castle while playing heavy crusing riffs to the masses
All I have to say is damn…
Anyone get tears of proudness every time they watch? I mean… this is beyond epic.
It is the Metal that binds us.
I need a poster of the wide shot with the torch being held
Just pause, screenshot and print one. By the very nature of the performance I think they'd be all about that.
Incroyable !!!
First 25 seconds gives me massive chills EVERYTIME! 🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🔥
Capturing the castle
My brain is melting.... this is incredible.
And i get to see them sept 12th in tampa.... fuck yes!
Seeing Mario headbang like a madman on a castle ledge has to be the most metal thing I've ever seen
El momento más increíble del mental.
I'll never see anything this great again.
I can’t get enough of watching it ❤❤❤
Ohhh yeah 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you France for giving us Gojira 🇫🇷 ❤️ much love from America!
Thank you for uploading the no commentary version!!!
I was very happy to see something of value from the Olympics.
Gojira should open up with this when they headline Bloodstock here in England next year.
This was so freakin' awesome!
I love opera and metal
AS A LIFE LONG METAL FAN IN HIS 50'S
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT METAL MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT, AND ALWAYS WILL BE ABOUT!
OPEN YOUR EYES AND MINDS, BECAUSE IT IS THIS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND MIND OPENING!
METAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE'LL YEA HOSS
Only one thing i like in the opening😊
Metal IS a sport! It just opened the Olympics! History has been made 🤘🤘🤘
Es hermoso
Me encantó!!!!!
La música es fantástica
That was the best part of the opening and the best performance I have ever seen in The Olympics. Metal with Opera - WOW it was amazing and unique.
Listen to Epica or any other band that has opera voices with metal instrumental.
You'll find a new love, I'm sure
Merci !
Opera has been part of metal since metal's inception
Metal and opera aren’t as different as people think. Opera is very metal in a lot of ways, as metal is very opera. Metal is close to classical music too. The similarities are crazy
Guess you never heard of Leprous
This is now the new industry standard constant used for a calibration reference when using the term... "That's so metal"
🤘😁🤘

They could get Dethklok to awaken a troll.
Wintersun the best option, but of course they would go for the most popular band so Nightwish
@@juliogutierrez7497 Nothing wrong with that they invented the Genre Symphonic Metal shoemaker would be my pick
@@juliogutierrez7497 Honestly in hindsight, they might just go for Poets of the Fall now that Alan Wake 2 made them more well known to people who don't normally listen to rock music outside of The Eagles or something.
@@duncanhills526 And the closing ceremony is just Murderface offing it with a Dethphone.
0:59….. the moment i realized i love heavy metal
Goddamn Mario beating the everloving fuck out of the drums is so badass. Love Gojira 💪
Metal really really needed this. So happy Gojira got this opportunity.
This is one of the best things I've seen on TV.
Excellente prestation! , j'adore.
I bet their bassist was going nuts not being able to bebop around like he always does.
Poor ĵean😂
