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 10 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 10 months ago

Fuck it, let's do Gojira again.

Blind Guardian. Everyone loves Blind Guardian.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

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

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!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We gonna resurrect Dimebag and Vinny‽

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Of course, that would be metal as hell

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Moshing should be an Olympic sport

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We can sacrifice Phil in exchange

[–] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 10 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I get Lamb of God for LA 2028?

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

LA 2028? System of a Down.

[–] voodoocode@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

Yo Serj and Daron get your shit together

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Still Gojira

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Pig Destroyer/Misery Index/Dying Fetus/Phobia

[–] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago
[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Portugal, so we’d go with Moonspell!

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 3 points 10 months ago

Napalm Death

[–] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm from the UK, so Green Lung.

Or Iron Maiden, of course.

[–] ChuggingPus@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Saw green lung in Southampton at the weekend. Great gig

[–] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Rotting Christ and hear the Christians squeal.

[–] nastyyboi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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.

For entertainment value: Powerwolf

It's WIND ROSE and you know it.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

My second choice for sure

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 2 points 10 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 10 months ago

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

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Birmingham.... Take your pick 🤗
