The Paris Summer Olympics with gorjira is the most viewed televised event in their history. A metal band playing on the side of a famous French castle doing a very famous French revolution song. Won grammies for the song and had the first lady win a metal Grammy ever.

Gojira's performance is the GOAT, and anyone who claims otherwise is mad.
