Gojira to perform at opening ceremony of Paris Olympics

[dbagchee]

They also gave them the worst audio quality so far

I wonder if that's because they weren't playing a pre-recorded track? I'm so tired of the lip syncing stuff - I know their are logistics/needs to work for the broadcast etc etc, but if you can't make the thing work with live musicians come up with a different show.

That was my thought as well.

I‘m just watching the opening ceremony. Is that just my personal impression, or is it all a bit overstaged and at times unintentionally funny?

yeah - theatric I think they call it lol

My conclusion so far: apart from Gojira, French music is unbearable.

We had Coldplay pull a nasty one on the audience over here this summer lol. There's worse than the French music played at the Olympics

I just watched the US broadcast and thought it was amazing....sadly didn't name them....but it brought my wife to tears ... because of her happiness for them ....a band I like ....so awesome!

My audio was amazing

Not sure how they thought it out (or who did it for them) but they featured an artist from a very controversial cast of music, but who had a lot of views on his YouTube channel seems like it (I'll leave it at that), smack in the middle of their show over here. Turned into a sh!tstorm in the media.

It was a great track; I was afraid they'd compromise a bit on their aggressive edge but nope - full on Gojira

It's also damn annoying. Women with beards, drag queens, nonstop dancing to electro shit, 3h+ peace love and whatever. This tries very, veeeery hard to check all the "we are inclusive" boxes. CSD-vibes.

Where's the sport?

Snoop Dogg to carry Olympic torch in final stretch

The torch has spent the past two months making its way through France, and it will travel to 68 different stages before opening ceremony.

Let's be real though Celine Dion stole the show

Dude, imagine the phone call between management and the band; “Hey, uh, so…what do you guys think of opening the olympics?”

Gojira:

Management:

And then they start talking the production……”We’d like you to perform hanging off a castle with a moat, ship and a fuckton of fire”

Yeah, the whole show was pretty intense. Some of the theatrics were perhaps a little too much, but it was a really impressive spectacle.

God damn these commentators. There's several videos from different countries of the performance and all of them have fuckin' commentators blathering over it.
