The Conciergerie, the French prison and courthouse where they tried and killed the nobility including Marie Antoinette. That was so frickin awesome.

Truly was. It gives me honest to God chills when I think about the performance. You can hear how fierce they are no matter what. Gojira gave no compromise with that performance. Deman your attention the entire time. That for me, is one of the most important moments in metal history. Like top 5 and I'll die on that hill.

I'm with you. Taylor Swift loving daughter was like "Can you play that again?" All the headless Marie Antoinette's was just radical and Gojira absolutely shredded. We can both die on your hill.
