Gojira guitarist burned in pyro accident

2019-05-19 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 52 Comments
Christian Andreu, guitarrist from the French band Gojira, had his face burned on stage during the band's performance at Sonic Temple, on May 18th.

Due to strong winds, flames over 10 feet high caught Christian's face at the end of "Stranded".

Despite the injuries Christian finished the entire set, taking time between tracks to cool his face down with water, getting a well-deserved ovation from the Ohio crowd.

Check the fire blast moment here:

Hope he got immediate medical treatment afterwards. We all know how risky pyro is and what can happen if it goes wrong.

Really professional, lots of respect that he finished the set, especially knowing how painful burns can be

Was there, can confirm. What a boss.

Then Maria Brink got sick apparently. And now we're evacuated. Eventful festival as usual.

Last time Gojira was here they got rained on and qlnost didn't play. It's a sign.

this is one reason why I've never understood why pyro is used in any event. I get that it adds to the intensity of the show but it becomes completely useless when someone gets hurt

that shit scares the crap out of me. Boggles the mind how bands like Rammstein put themselves at risk like that, they could easily get BBQ'd ffs

Honestly I'd be amazed if his burns were anything more than superficial (he was only exposed to the outer part of the flame for a brief moment) but that shit will hurt all over your face. Amazing he finished the set.

Wonder how hot those things are
