The official audio from their performance of "Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça Ira)" from the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony featuring composer Victor le Masne, and opera singer Marina Viotti.
Gojira made history as the first metal band to ever perform at the Olympic Games during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France on July 26. Working alongside composer Victor le Manse, the quartet injected their signature heavy riffs and punishing rhythms into the French Revolution-era song “Ah! Ça Ira”. Joined by French-Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti and nearly 300 classical musicians, Gojira performed from the windows of Paris’ iconic Concierge amidst a grand spectacle of pyrotechnics. The performance made international headlines and was widely regarded as one of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Summer Olympics.

No commentators talking over this feels real good
Malditos comentaristas de la tv mundial 😂
obviusly dude, that was a olimpics tv transmition 😅
They probably edited it out for a commercial release
That's weird, because the official Olympics channel released the neutral version without commentators and that's the first result when I search for it.
And the crowd
Gold medal for the metal community
Or should we say Gold Metal? 😅😂
@@JamesBrown-wo2qj now don't be meddling around.
@@butters4596 I wouldn't test his mettle
Truly sad... the metal community should be about dissent and rejection of the imposed system of control. Gojira should have boycotted the freak show that the O.G. have become.
@@FedericoLucchi Exactly. It was a complete mockery.
Gojira taught millions of people that day around the world not to judge without knowing and that metal is not just a bunch of meaningless noise. They educated millions of ignorant ears and minds
They might have taught, but the studends did not learn 💀
As well as throwing a giant middle finger to worldwide aristocracy and those who fancy themselves aristocrats. Intelligent, brutal, emotionally stirring. It was everything best about metal in one performance.
A metalhead talking about ignorance 😂
@@Fckisnotrealnatowefc_nts I mean, most metalheads are nerdy about it so its kinda obvious there would be a bunch of annoying ones
They played the French Revolution's background music
I’ve never seen an entire sub-culture (Metalheads) so unified and proud as this moment made us all. Thank you Gojira.
we are not unified. The anti-metal posers are saying that Gojira are mainstream sellouts and that metalheads should not be celebrating.
until the cringy anti-metal poser elitists can get over the fact that metal isn't an underground genre anymore, we will never be unified
@@WFly101 We're unified, as those aren't metalheads. They're asshats. And asshats are found everywhere
@@WFly101
Hmm. I heard they say Gojira is gay and african american.
@@WFly101This song Gojira did is the direct opposite of a mainstream sound. Those metal elitists can F off lol.
A symphonic gojira concept album about the french revolution/french history would be absolutely insane
Given the bands obvious political leanings I would personally find a concept album about frances role in historical global colonialism and especially souteast asian and african neo-colonialism.
I approve this message!
@@rondomane don't really care what the subject is, gojra plus orchestra is instantly a ticket seller
A symphonic Gojira concept album about getting pizza Sunday evening would be epically brutal
@@rondomane ou la traite arabo-musulmane de l'esclavage des noirs d'Afrique ou des blancs d'Europe
Grammy Metal Performance, easily.
🤘
I’m a massive fan of Knocked Loose and would love to see them win a Grammy but Gojira deserves to win that category, easily. It’s not even close.
Just a few weeks too late for me to analyze this beauty without the crowd. It's so crisp and clear... I LOVE THIS!
Wouldn't mind a 2nd take, this one you can actually hear properly
@@sillent6663 agree
Agree
I also agree I'd love a second take with this version since you can hear it clearly.
Oh absolutely!
ABOUT TIME!!!! TIME TO PUT THIS ON LOOP FOR THE NEXT 24 STRAIGHT HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh, only 24 !! XD
its so fucking good.
Nice
Yeah, my apartment is about to be surgically clean in two hours
Ah yes. Only the finest, eh Julian?
Thank God for Gojira. Only thing that missed is the "headless" Marie Antoinette singing at the beginning before the band plays. I thought that part fkn slaps.
Let god outside of this ....
agreed, the sound shift there were pure metal!
@@TetedeMort666 bruh
the whole ceremony was incredible ! Im' french and we all thought it would end into something ridiculous or just too costly for what it was, but OH MY GOD IT WAS GREAT ! The masked flamebearer also was a great idea from Victor Le Masne. And that Mea Culpa part HOLY SHIT that was the icing on the cake !
...and I'm thankful they didn't. Didn't like that part one bit 😅
Greatest part of the opening ceremony in history of the Olympics
THE greatest
only good*
Better than the one Nickelback performed for sure
Easy
As awesome as it was seeing Gojira performing and seeing Metal represented for the first time at the Olympics, for me nothing will ever come close to Muhammad Ali carrying the Olympic torch, struggling through Parkinson's and all and then lighting the Olympic flame in 1996.
This Gojira performance will be remembered forever! 🤘
🔥🔥🔥😈🤘🤘🤘
Just like Björk's oceanic.
Agree. Gojira build a monument for metal at the Olympics
Did not even realise it was Gojira lmao
The ONLY part that will be remembered.
It's hard to argue against this being the most iconic performance in metal history. Beyond the fact the performance and composition itself was flawless, the setting, the visuals, the historical relevance, the element of total surprise, and most of all, the massive global audience will realistically be impossible to top. Really the stuff dreams are made of.
It was a performance so unexpected that it was completely failed to be predicted by The Simpsons.
Domination at Moscow tho
@@jordicabezut2107 That was what I would have considered to be Number 1 previously.
C'était incroyable en vrai
You could say: amazing composition and amazing execution (pun intended, lol).
You guys can make an entire album with this concept and it would crush it. Symphonic Gojira needs to happen for the sake of music.
Especially with thei understanding of story telling.
Agreed!!! 💯
Yes, a concept record of the French Revolution and how it relates to today with themes of war, freedom, injustice, destruction, it could be a really cool idea for them.
@@seanmartyn3956 Younsonofabitch, I'm in.
I really hope their next album is like this
Those French boys with the noise finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Noise, good
They're already one of the most well known and respected band lmao
@@deadgoroth2581 only after decades of work. Gojira is in no way a household name like Metallica, Slayer, etc. So it's nice to see them getting world wide recognition.

@@freedawn7625Born and raised in France
What’s missing is the shouting of “Ah ça ira ça ira ça ira…” before the opener, but this still evokes the same energy as the live performance as well. EPIC!
Seriously,goosebumps every time I watch the replays
The layered opera vocals + growls at 2:03 are absolutely insane
Who would've thought they could go so well together.
You'll love Fleshgod apocalypse.
@@redguirus check out Believer from early 1990s for some good attempts at that, too :)
@@cIappo896 ehhh not so much my cup of tea somehow but good suggestion :)
@@cIappo896 After just listening to Opera, there's no better recommendation for anyone who wants extreme metal with their opera
Now we finally won't have to re-upload the Olympics recordings every few days 😭
“So you’re saying by not doing that , it’ll just be way easier ok .” Your taste sucks less impact “I dare” suppose .
Is that what was happening ? 😂
@@LaurenOliviArt yea 😭
@@discarnartÇa ira !!!
@@LaurenOliviArt yeah, they Olympics is very protective over their stuff and tend to copyright strike everything
Marina Viotti's scream at 2:03 is insane! She needs to be featured on live shows!
That wasn't her
@@Jakamachi You sure? I can hear Joe's voice and a female voice. During the ceremony she definitely looked like she was screaming as well in that moment.
@@baverfjant I hear Joe and Marina, the combined scream is horrifying, I love it.
no that's the male vocalist obviously
@@jamesclarkmaxwell-v2n I mean you can hear two voices, male and female. And the video matches as she is leaning forward with her mouth open, clearly bellowing out something (a scream) and then closing it as the scream stops.
I remember waking up and hearing that Gojira was in the news - I feared the worst, like a member dying, but was instead greeted with this, and it was amazing to watch. The whole performance was the only thing my co-workers could talk about, and only 2 of them are metalheads.
Le peuple réclame un album en collaboration avec Marina Viotti !!!
Attention!!!!! À ne pas sous-estimer le rôle de Victor Le Masne dans ce titre. 😊

This will forever be known as the day the Olympics had metal music in an opening ceremony.
Holy shit, it sounds even better with clear audio. Shivers down my spine for almost the whole song.
It really does! You can now hear brilliant things that you just couldn't from the (shitty) live mix. Thank you Gojira!
No shit studio recording sounding better than live....
I don't even understand French and I'm getting goosebumps and teary eyed. What's wrong with me?
This was legit one of the most bad ass things that has ever happened.
I'm glad I was (and is lol) alive to witness that
I'm convinced this song was a foreshadow to current events that are now unfolding around the world.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
:)
So say we all!
100% the greatest moment in the history of metal. No other band can say they’ve ever ascended to this stage.
💯
Good joke buddy
Metallica are from LA so wouldn't suprise me if they perform at the next olympic opening
I was kinda shocked that they were the first metal band to play the Olympics. I kinda figured Metallica had already done it. I'm guessing Metallica will when LA hosts the Olympics in four years.
@@somethingelse04 No other metal band has perfomed in the Olympics. So yes, it is break point for metal
Like it or not bb
The chugging at :20 and the drop at :45 could end world hunger.
One of the baddest, nicest metal bands on the planet.
They have the heaviest riffs bar none!
I don’t think I’ve clicked on something so quickly lol, you guys absolutely killed in the opening ceremony and so happy for you guys too!! Let’s goo!!!
I've never downloaded something this quickly to have in my personal collection

My jaw literally dropped when I saw Gojira performing this! The build up, the setting, the history, the production - literally everything was amazing. One of the greatest moments in heavy metal history for sure.
Same. I thought people were joking. I was prepared to be disappointed. And then, for a couple minutes, I was in another world, a better world.
Qu’est ce que ça m’a fait plaisir de découvrir votre performance à la conciergerie !
Vous avez fait honneur à la France et à notre histoire
I've been waiting for 30+ years as a metal fan for a spectacle like this
A consecration, with a capital C
Over 40 years for me...but we finally got our moment in the sun (despite the rain, lol).
Same here
Honestly this is probably the biggest thing in mainstream for metal since Metallica crushed Grammy's in 1989. It's been 35 years.
@@ahsenserhat9270 there’s been a few other big moments like Need For Speeds of old and movies like The Matrix, The Crow, etc.

It's not "Without fear for fire or SAY NO", it's either "Without fear for fire or flame, NO !" or "Will I fear for fire or flame ? NO !"
I could not understand or find online what are the lyrics that Marina Viotti is singing around 2:32, but one of the sentences is definitely something something nous attends. If someone knows, please add a message
@@PancakeInvaders As a native french speaker, what I heard in the Marina Viotti's part you're talking about, is "Ceci nous [honore] et la [mort] nous attend." These lyrics could match with La Révolution' spirit, but I'm not pretty sure of what I've heard in these [parts].
@@PancakeInvaders I think it's something between "Without fearing neither fire or flame" or "Will i fear neither fire or flame", i'm annoyed that all lyrics posted on the internet are missing a syllabe
Ça ira *** please 💀 I-RA ??????
1.8 billion people watched this live. You can't top viewership like that.
I was like a lot of people in wanting a version without commentary or crowd and now we got it. Hell yeah
It's available on Max where you can simply turn the commentary off. It's been there since day one. I prefer live version because both video and audio are perfect in every way
@@hemoglobbin oh sh*t thanks bro
@@Trippson you're welcome. You need to find the 4 hours long Olympics Opening Ceremony video and jump to around after the 50th or so minute.
I'm Japanese and many Japanese people don't listen to metal music, so this helped me realize the good points of metal music. Thank you.
P.S. Metal really isn't that popular in Japan. Nowadays, when you say metal, you really mean iron.
Thank you
Well, I beg to differ, All Shall Perish are from the state of California, and they made their first big debut in your guys' country...
Just saying 😉
Don't worry, I'm from pakistan and i face the same problem
This is metal chief
Japan actually has an big and thriving Metal community with lots of great bands.
We need a symphonic metal album from Gojira and Marina Viotti with an orchestra, choir and maybe a duo with Dianne van Giersbergen.
The only bad thing about this is after 2:53
After 2:53 is just before 0:00

@@HopelessReminderhaha just a joke 😆
The song that changed the history of metal forever. A sincere thank you to all involved!
To be able to finally hear all the little nuances in this song is amazing. The guitar work, with the chugging palm mutes, the bend and release, the way the bass works in with it, and the drum work. Very definitive of that Gojira sound. And with the operatic singing. Beautiful work.
BRAVO les mecs, vous m'avez mis la chair de poule !!!!!! J'etais comme un ouf en gueulant GOOOOJIIIIIRAAAAAAAAA devant ma TV !!!!!!!! Quelle consécration pour vous !!!!!!!!!

@@devonshmitty4718 I'm sure he meant 18+ boys
Except in WW2
There's something truly special about adding Opera & Orchestral Elements into anything Metal. It just makes the heavier bits feel all that more dark & foreboding, ESPECIALLY using a female singer paired with the male metal vocalist. The Violins pitch is sharp & contrasting to the bass & drums of metal it's literally meant to be!!
The Mea Culpa in his gruff, growl sounds so on point too! Very fitting for the meaning of this song.
No holding back, 100% full send. This performance and version is possibly the most epic thing that's happened in my life time.
Finally a true release for this banger ! Best birthday present, you rocks as usual !
Happy Birthday. 🎂🎁🎉 Gojira must of been thinking of you to release this today. Hve a good one. 👍
Happy Birthday :))) Today we all should celebrate :p
Happy birthday !

1:12 is my favourite. I never heard Gojira so far. But I hope they drop a whole Album in this style.
Listen to the Flying Whales album. A lot of stuff in this song sounds like it was taken right off that album.

Watching them go from a smaller niche band to opening the fucking Olympics has been cathartic
International dinguerie
I love the fact that parts of this are the heaviest Gojira has been in years, and they did it in front of the entire world at the damn Olympics. Making metal heads proud 🤘
Full body chills EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Do you mean be beheaded? Lol
Finally! You are amazing guys. Still waiting for "Of Blood And Salt" and "Inferno" on Spotify.
I can't even describe how proud I felt when I saw Gojira live in TV during Olympics ceremony. I was watching it with my family and when the band starts playing he was like: "Wait, that is Gojira? No way!" We were in shock. Then I felt so proud and then I my eyes went wet. ♥ It was the most epic thing I saw.. Thank you Gojira for this performance. ♥ ( BTW I was glad that comentator from my country was silent during perfomance, so we could fully enjoy)
Played this for my girls on the way to school this morning. They're down. Full blown banger right here but completely on par with the excellence they continue to put out. Really, truly great.
I cannot stress enough how epic this is. I NEED an extended version of it. Hell, whole colab album with Marina!
Uploading this with "The performance made international headlines and was widely regarded as one of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Summer Olympics." in the description while also having 666k subscribers; Perfect!
Gojira single-handedly immortalised metal through the Olympics. This is one for the history books in music, sport and French culture.
Ok, now the next step is the music video! 👊🤘
I was thinking the same thing exactly...sync this up with the original broadcast and let's gooooooooo!
merci d'avoir fait la promotion du métal à l'ouverture des jeux olympiques! votre nom restera à jamais gravé dans l'histoire du métal! bravo!❤🔥
The Olympics didn't introduce me to Gojira but this moment did push me to deep dive into their music... 3 months later, I'm still hooked!
One thing I've learned as a new Gojira listener, do not judge the song by the first few seconds.
Best tip ever ! 🤘
Merci

I didnt watch get a chance to watch the Opening Ceremony Live, but as my Social Media feeds blew up like an Asteroid hitting a planet at Mach Jesus...
I was awakened to the Godliness that had unfolded in Paris. The Setting, the Backdrop, the Theatrics. All of it was beyond words. I watched the video over and over and it gave me chills and I cried... every, single, time. Gojira took themselves to a whole other level and did so with the most spectacular presence, and grace, any of us have ever experienced!
All of you looked sooo excited and pumped to be there, in your hometown, playing in front of the world! VIVA GOJIRA! ¡VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!

Watching this live (and the rebroadcast, and the multiple youtube uploads) was an incredible experience that brought me to tears...but hearing it again, mastered with the crowd and ambient noise cleaned up, was EPIC. I have been patiently awaiting this. Saving this to listen to over and over again. Congratulations and thank you Gojira...another barrier broken down in epic fashion.

Not many things give me goosebumps lately in music. What an awesome performance!

And everyone involved in making this performance a reality.
Once again I am saying that this is one of the moat badass things I have ever heard. Eternally grateful to live in the time era as Gojira.
So happy that they performed at the olympics. I never heard of this untapped source of metalhead joy until then and I gotta tell ya, everything they've recorded is a total face melter. I am a happy new fan.
