On the positive side, Gojira made history as the first metal band to perform at the Olympics, delivering a groundbreaking performance of "Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça Ira!)" alongside opera singer Marina Viotti during the Paris Summer Games. This unprecedented event not only showcased the band's talent but also elevated metal music to a global stage, earning them critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination. In contrast, Mötley Crüe faced significant backlash and legal troubles throughout the year. The band became embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit with former guitarist Mick Mars, who alleged financial misconduct and disputed his forced retirement from touring. Additionally, persistent rumors of the band using backing tracks during live performances divided fans and critics alike, tarnishing their reputation. Despite these challenges, Mötley Crüe attempted to push forward with new music, releasing their EP "Cancelled" in October, which received mixed reactions from fans. These contrasting events highlight the dynamic nature of the rock and metal scene in 2024, demonstrating both the genre's potential for innovation and its ongoing struggles with authenticity and internal conflicts."
