The building is the Conciergerie which is where Maria Antoinette and other nobles were imprisoned before being executed during the revolution. The song "Ça ira" was a popular song during the revolution and remastered by Gojira. It's all about hanging aristocrats and how the people will be ok. It's a celebration of liberty and the overthrow of tyranny.
This was a song the revolutionaries sang in the street during the revolution. The times were bloody, angry and raw. Metal would have fit right in back in the day
I think you mispelled a little bit the name of the female singer, which should have been written Marina Viotti. She a French-Swiss opera singer, who also sings with her metal band Soulmaker.🙂
Il y a plusieurs grilles de lecture sur cette prestation musicale. D’abord, le bâtiment, la Conciergerie, ancienne salle des gardes du premier château des rois de France à Paris et au moyen-âge. Le bâtiment deviendra une prison sous la Terreur en 1793 où des milliers de personnes attendaient leur condamnation à mort, comme Marie-Antoinette qui fut guillotinée en septembre 1793 place de la Concorde à Paris (pas très loin de la conciergerie), ce qui explique le sang qui gicle des fenêtres. L’autre grille de lecture, est la chanson « ça ira, ça ira » qui est un chant révolutionnaire qui vilipendait les aristocrates. Ce chant devenu célèbre en 1953 grâce à Edith Piaf qui le chanta dans le film « si Versailles m’était conté ». On peut voir un autre sens à cette chanson qui rend hommage aux victimes du Bataclan à Paris (salle de spectacle) qui furent tuées par des terroristes islamiques en 2015 lors d’un concert d’Eagles of Death Metal. La dernière grille de lecture est le navire (la nef) où chante la cantatrice Marina Viotti symbolise la nef de Paris (c’est le blason de cette ville) qui a comme devise « fluctuat nec mergitur » qui en français veut dire, « Il est battu par les flots et ne sombre pas ».
The spirit of Metal has reappeared in the eyes of the whole world with GOJIRA at the Olympic Games 2024. Thanks to this french group and to their unique performance which has embellished and revived this music. Their staging will remain anchored in the memory of those who love the Metal and in the history of the Olympic Games. A big thank you also to France who had the audacity to have a Metal band play for an opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. No doubt that Paris 2024 will remain a reference in the future for the Metal music. (Google Translation)
The boat is the symbol and official emblema of the City of Paris..with the latin motto: " FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR" ..." She is tossed by the waves, but does not sunk".
This epic performance was not only a reenactment of the French Revolution but also a a tribute to the victim of the terrorist attack in Bataclan which targeted the Eagles of Death metal concert. The boat on which the opera singer stands is the boat on the coat of arms of the capital, whose latin motto the "fluctuat neg megritur" (it floats, but it does not sink). Hence the fact that the performance represented the liberty (against the tyranny of artistocracy and opressive zealots).
Hello, yes gojira is the biggest french metal band. But they're not not the biggest musical export, I can name David guetta and daft punk but there are others.
That's a good call, I'm surprised I didn't think about daft punk, they're definitely on my radar and definitely a bigger artistic export overall than Gojira. I'm still glad it was Gojira getting the publicity.
Aya Nakamura is the French most streamed artist. BTW, they asked Daft Punk, talked about them in the media but they didn't answer, surely because they parted.
The most metal thing to happen to opera since Carmina Burana and this has those vibes. Check out Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and you'll see what I'm talking about. The opera singer is Marina Viotti. The band is Gojira (means Godzilla in Japanese). This is huge in the metal community. Absolutely everyone is blown away by this performance. The song is from the Revolution and it's a rallying cry to their people. "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! The aristocrats to the lanterns. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. The aristocrats we will hang them." That is the translation from Google.
Y'all are arguing about Gojira LOG and Meshuggah being the best or most influential, meanwhile I'm like they are all my favorites, throw Jinjer in there and Pantera and that's my metal top 5 lol, other than Meshuggah being djent, the other 4 are all groove metal also mostly, Jinjer is almost like a female led LOG on their heavier stuff.
Lamb of God is cool and brought more fans to metal, but you can't claim they've had the impact that Meshuggah had on metal music being written. Meshuggah was doing shit in 1994 that was so ahead of it's time, you don't get half of the metal we have today without them paving the way. None of the modern bands develop how they did without Meshuggah, probably including Lamb of God. The Future Breed Machine track changed the game 5 years before Burn the Priest was released. Nobody did breakdowns like that before Meshuggah. No disrespect. Both are important bands. Listen to this track they wrote in like 93-94 though and tell me that's not the blueprint. th-cam.com/video/xtju8pwSGMA/w-d-xo.html&si=S50SQaXr4p6iWbOX
So I guess we can agree then, 2 different crucial pieces to the same pie. Different influences, both necessary. Chicken and the egg vs goat convos. Neither convo has a definitive answer.
Chimaira, if you only need one example, sounds more like Lamb of God than Gojira does to Meshuggah. What is that guy on ? Lamb Of God originally is a Triple Rectifier band, I could get you hundreds of band with the very same tone. Randy frankly is the only unique piece in it (and even him is very close in style to Corey Taylor realistically). I think there are quite a few missing links in your metal culture... Americans being Americans I guess xD You get them talking of massive European bands that are both still defining modern metal to this day, they end up bringing up Lamb Of God, Pantera and Metallica. What a disgrace, like the second person says, you aren't even talking of bands from the same genre or era, quit making such baseless comparisons.

It's a French revolution song called "Ça Ira". Gojira and Marina Viotti played a metal version of the song.
Metal symphonique version*

@JamesSweeper never knew daft punk was French. Definitely bigger than Gojira overall. They cant be bigger than Gojira right now though?
Aya Nakamura who performed in this very JO opening is currently and by far the biggest french seller in the world.
@@chocolatreglisse5577 she is the biggest french speaking seller. Not the biggest french seller. David guetta is the biggest french.
Aya Nakamura is the French most streamed artist.

Messhugga being your favorite bands favorite band is so accurate!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

It was Randy Blythe from Lamb of God. He's the one who turned me on to GoJira.

Gojira is big export but actually i think Daft punk were biggest ;).
Will Gojira go to superbowl half time ceremony? Or at Washington DC celebrating englishers going bsck to europe?
You know though, durring the french revolution it was pretty much bloody turmoil amongst the french elites so it couldn't be more fitting!
Summoning is the biggest band in the world.
I know one Lamb of God-song. Knowing them has to be an American thing.
Tomas Haake from Messuggah is the greatest drummer ever
"Lamb of God took it to the next level" So you're not Slipknot fans? Mudvayne fans?
Definitely fans of both. Nu metal has almost nothing to do with modern heavy/death metal and the subsequent genres
Considering the greatest french musical export, in terms of notoriety, i'd say Daft Punk is the shit . By far
Daft punk, David Guetta, Aya Nakamura are the 3 that come to my mind
Lamb of God is cool and brought more fans to metal, but you can't claim they've had the impact that Meshuggah had on metal music being written.
