Metal community, all subgenres welcome.

It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Based on Gojira's excellent performance during the Olympics, which band from your country would you like to perform at the Olympics in your country?

Probably still Gojira, wherever the Olympics are

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 10 points 11 months ago

Fuck it, let's do Gojira again.

[–] Jobe@feddit.org 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Blind Guardian. Everyone loves Blind Guardian.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

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

Pantera. Have them play "Walk" with the speed walkers on stage

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Of course, that would be metal as hell

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

We can sacrifice Phil in exchange

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You got me there...let's go Fuckin Hostile

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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!

[–] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 11 months ago

It wouldn‘t be appropriate at all, but celtic frost would slap. Not that they would do concerts anymore tho

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If it's happening in Montréal, I think it should be Voïvod for being Québec's most popular metal band.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Still Gojira

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

LA 2028? System of a Down.

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 2 points 11 months ago

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Pig Destroyer/Misery Index/Dying Fetus/Phobia

[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

[–] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 11 months ago

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

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

Napalm Death

Not my country, but We Butter the Bread with Butter. :)

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

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago

For entertainment value: Powerwolf

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

My second choice for sure

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Faith No More. If they’re metal enough for this question.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗
