Gojira to open for Metallica. - General

I personally find this to be the shittiest thing to happen to Gojira thus far. [quote]We are happy to share this news just posted on Metallica.com : ----------------------------------- More Opening Act News In addition to Lamb of God . . . While we are still enjoying our European summer vacation, a quick note here about the Fall shows in North America. Our French friends Gojira will be joining us, along with Lamb of GOD, for shows September 14 – October 18, while Lars' brethren from Denmark Volbeat will hanging for the shows October 26 – December 12. See you out there![/quote] From their Myspace page.

Love Gojira, but they need to start playing with bands I actually like.

Metallica is the biggest metal band in history why would you consider this anything less than an honor for them

Oh, my, God. I want to see this so bad.

Wow, Gojira and Metallica, like my two favourite bands. That would be awesome to see live!

Too bad Metallica is mainstream shit now.

[QUOTE=enjoi10;15985508]It was always mainstream genius.[/QUOTE] But now it's [i]shit[/i] too.

hmm... This: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi-w6mGn7U0[/media] Opening for this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvz1npUhZIg&feature=related[/media] No. Just no.

Mainstream =/= Shit music As said, Metallica are the pioneers of Metal music across the world. I'm sure Gojira aren't complaining. "So who're we opening for this time, _______?" "Hmm, lemme check. It's Met...- Oh, no, God, no, anyone but those mainstream fuckers. What are we going to do now? Go through with it? Jesus Christ. I mean, if it were a band that were a little more obscure that contributed fuck all to the God forsaken genre, It'd be cool. But these guys?" "Fucking incredible." "Bad luck guys." "Amen."

I mean I guess it's cool for them but, I don't really think their two styles mix well. And Metallica aren't pioneers of metal, of [I]thrash[/I] metal, but not metal.

It's like when In Flames opened for Iron Maiden here in Sweden a couple of years ago.

[QUOTE=SilverHammer;15983189]Metallica is the biggest metal band in history why would you consider this anything less than an honor for them[/QUOTE] I always thought Priest and Maiden were more popular. And better.

I agree with the Godly bomb a few posts above, Metallica should be opening for Gojira

[QUOTE=Shibbey;15997897]I always thought Priest and Maiden were more popular. And better.[/QUOTE] Don't forget to throw in Sabbath.

Are you people being for fucking serious in this thread? What a bunch of stuck up assholes. I'm sure Gojira are pissing their pants in anticipation of playing with Metallica. Any sane musician would be excited and honored to have such an opportunity to play with such esteemed musicians that have contributed so much to Metal.

The Eyes of a Traitor [url]http://www.myspace.com/theeyesofatraitor[/url] Their not very good in my eyes..

Man, I'm not a fan of Metalica (not a fan =/= hate) but what the fuck guys? How is this a bad thing?

Wouldn't say they're the best, but they're not bad. Vocalist is pretty talented. Music could leave some to be desired, but that's something pretty common to me with progressive music. I'm just not a fan of prog in general.

Wow, and that to think Gojira is a milestone better than Metallica. Sure, I like both bands, but after the Black album Metallica just turned into sell-outs.
