Here's Your First Look At GOJIRA Playing The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

21:37 Friday, 26 July 2024

Gojira just ripped through their set (with opera singer Marina Viotti) as part of the opening ceremonies at the Paris Olympics and it looked EXTREMELY METAL. No official footage has surfaced just yet, so you'll have to settle for some iffy audio and grainy photos below.

Regardless, this is an absolutely insane moment for the metal world and it looks like it lived up to the hype! I mean come on – there's fire, there's a headless woman, it sounds like it was heavy as shit, and we need the actual pro-shot footage of this. Like, now.

GOJIRA VOCÊS SÃO RIDICULOOOOOOOOS
Cara eu tô arrepiado

Eu sempre disse que eles se não são os maiores da geração, estão no Top 3 fácil… e hoje eles se consolidaram com esse feito histórico de tocar numa abertura de Olimpíadas. Os caras entraram pra eternidade???? pic.twitter.com/B6RjQT29j9— DaniloAlmeida.Arte (@22daniloalmeida) July 26, 2024

Gojira playing with decapitated bodies and raining blood in the background may be one of the coolest things ever at the opening Ceremonies. #Olympic2024 pic.twitter.com/9168ycNVc3— Sh1nySho3s (@Sh1nySho3s) July 26, 2024
