    I love Gojira, but to be fair, there's not that many known or even popular French metal bands. Also, Gojira are lefty and into all kinds of activism, and just super popular by their own merit right now, so it was an easy choice. I remember seeing them open up for behemoth at a small venue like in 2007 to headline the Mexico metal fest last year and now opening the freaking Olympics wow! 👏 🤘

    As an old French person who loves metal and my country, I really liked your video! You are the most French of the Americans in metal 😂. Otherwise, just a question about what you say about the US, and the size of the country and the huge differences between states. Why in this case this name United States of America if there are so many differences between each of them (state laws, tax laws, etc.)? And sorry for my broken English made in France 😁

    What they don't get is , Real Musicians Have No time for stupid Controversy like The Janet Jackson Mistake they did ... because i don't believe this was not plan ahead . Those are Pop singers / Rappers . those don't play instruments or practice and practice their craft , they only learn few Dance steps and voila so they have PLENTY of time to do Monkey Business like what happen , another example on How those Rappers are Worthless and have more chance to get into controversy with them than , MetalHeads and Band Like Metallica or Iron Maiden are Now a part of General Music that play on Radio . Look at the Top Of HipHop Going down in Severe Accusation and controversy THE SAME DAMN RAPPERS WHO WERE AT LAST SUPERBOWL , 1 WAS MISSING Yes DIDDY Hahahahahaha ! SuperBowl Peoples are IDIOTS

    That's true. For the longest time American black metal was just American dudes trying to sound like their Scandinavian heroes (And that's true for a lot of other countries as well), but here lately we've gotten some black metal bands with uniquely American sounds and it's kind of exciting.

    @@heavymetalphilosophy Yep, definitely Leviathan, Xasthur, Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, Inquisition (though some would disagree even though they reside in the capital, maybe a bit contentious to claim as your own)... Some other mention worthy acts but it's not an encyclopedic list. Von is the only band I can think of that go way back. Got to give props to Panopticon for that bizarre blend of Appalachian mountain 'shine evil and BM. Seems to have taken a long time for the US to warm to the ugliness of second wave bands. It's hard to tell being an outsider but it still seems to struggle to get recognition in the States.

    All nations have their divisions. The Olympics are an international event, so everyone rallies around nation. I doubt that Americans are any different. The Superbowl is a national event. It's like comparing the FIFA World Cup to Ligue 1: for the former, all the people from France are equally French; for the latter, screw those guys from Marseilles, or whatever.

    5:55 _"To the french this was no big deal but to puritanical americans this was a huge scandal"_ Believe or not, we have the same in France. But maybe they're still dumb enough, they're waiting for the American alt-right to produce its narratives, to copy/paste through google-translate and post-it. The thing is, even far-right Americans aren't going to be scandalized by the memory of queen Marie Antoinette.Yet it's supposed to be the primary theme of the (traditional) French far right. And what we find is that they are more shocked that a black artist sings in front of the institution of the French Academy. Or a slightly queer scene with the character of Dionysus... That's because they've use takes from the US alt-ight, and on Aya Nakamura just rehashed their usual anti-woke rhetoric. Also that thing about the horse, which makes no sense. And Gojira, who takes part in a scene which had everything to be the worse, that touches on something that would shock the most far-right of the bicentenary French far-right, passes almost smoothly. In short, it's not that it's “no big deal”, but rather that they don't know what to say.

I sort of knew there was a growing right wing movement in France but I did not know they participated in the culture war nonsense that our right wing does :( Our right wing has no ideas. Just complain that gay people are on TV or women are in super hero movies. It's pathetic because we used to be able to look to them to lower our taxes but they abandoned those positions when they figured out the culture war gets more clicks.
