So, this was their first release after they got their new bassist, and after the pandemic. Most professional influencers said they were flexing. Basically throwing down the gauntlet, saying, yes we're back, and no one can F with us! The vocals, the solos, the drums, the slap bass, the arrangement, all of it was a giant flex!
It's known that Midori loves a good workout, and this performance shows that she gets one playing Judgement Day!! Wow, fingers of fire!!! And all the while she looks like she's going to punish anyone who dares evade her justice! If she performs this song the same way in front of me in Atlanta next September, I will be justified for wearing an adult diaper!!
This song is maybe their best song ever, literally 1 year ago when Judgement Day come out, I heard the song like 20 times the first day and every time I found new things, this song is so awesome!
They've really brought Asami forward in the mix in this concert. That really highlights the power & clarity of her voice. She is so good. She penetrates the Soul.
Another great reaction Dude.. It's a MONSTER of a song... Please do your self a favour and watch the MV of this.. Well worth the time.. More Lovebites please.. Best wishes from France..

"Knocking at Heaven's Gate" is a DVD they released of their 1st come back concert earlier this year. They've released 4 songs as videos from that concert/DVD: "Hammer of Wrath," "Judgement Day," "Nameless Warrior," and "Liar." They are also releasing a second DVD from their 2nd night of their comeback tour later this month - "Knocking at Heaven's Gate, Vol. II" They've release 1song as a video a few days ago - "Stand and Deliver." These are the only songs that have been released by Lovebites from those DVDs. Any other videos you may see from those DVDs are bootlegs and not approved by Lovebites or Victor Entertainment. In fact, Lovebites has asked people not to release bootleg songs from the DVD. So please, out of respect for Lovebites, don't react to any songs from these DVDs other than the ones they've released. Thanks! Loved your reaction.
Best metal band on the planet. I would stick to official live and music videos from their channel cause their record company will take down any videos not released by them. I saw this concert on here a few days ago then searched for it the next day to see if it was still there and couldn't find it, so just a heads up.
Is this the only band that has more live releases than full studio album releases? Not that I have a problem with that 😊😊. I can't get enough of either.🤘🤘
React to LOVEBITES song When Destinies Align MV and Live...long crazy dual guitars solos from Miyako and Midori, Set the World On Fire(Live) Shadow Maker(MV&Live) and Spellbound(Live)
Welcome to LOVEBITES and thank you for doing this reaction to LOVEBITES, did you see that 🎸 used by MIYAKO, that's mean business,hell yeah LOVEBITES ROCK
This is great version of this song(from 1st day=Fami’s debut gig) But、the more I listened to "Stand and Deliver"(2nd day version =probably Asami’s best vocal performance ever)、I looked forword to listen to "judgment Day" 2nd day version from new DVD (DVD will released December of this year)．
Asami amazed me as well being able to nail the vocal on "Stand and Deliver" live in concert. When I first heard the album version, I honestly wondered if it could be done.
I think the most technical female vocalist from japan is Mari Hamada． But、Asami has expressive power that captivates people all over the world than Mari Hamada．
_Killer_ song, crushing performance. What else is there to say. Perfect start, amazing delivery, perfect finish. I personally _love_ Fami playing her bass guitar here like e third (deep tuned) melodic guitar. Her lines are audible throughout the whole song, her fingers dancing all across the fretboard. 😊Playing in the rhythm section, but also contributing to the melodies. Amazing. Simply Fami. 😊 And I _love_ Haruna's use of her Ice Bell. 😊
This is my favorite song by my favorite band, both all-time. Best solo run I've ever heard, and what brings that home is the work of Fami and Haruna, both playing integral parts in the solo run. Fami's bass lines are sick in this song, and to think she only had a few weeks to rewrite them per Miyako's wishes (who wrote the original bass lines for a bassist she didn't know who it would be). Great reaction to this complete epicness.
Not only 17-18 songs on this concert, their most recent from march, but they have at least two other full concerts on you tube. Of course some songs overlap but many don't.
5:53 in your video, when Midori-san swings the left arm off the guitar and stares down the audience just gets me every time. They are all beasts, but that look.... egads.
“Hope you guys don’t mind but we’re running that back.” Hell no, we don’t mind, we love it! 🤟 With your reactions in the first parts of the song I was thinking “he’s gonna lose it during the solos!” 😅😅
They are coming to the US for a festival next fall. I’m hoping they add shows for a tour. If not they are simply another trip to Japan for me. Definitely in my very top bands. ❤️🐺
Last year, when they announced the relaunch of Love Bytes, they held auditions for bassists regardless of nationality, age, or gender. Out of hundreds of applicants, the final choice was FAMI, who was still a college student and had no previous band experience, rather than someone closer in age, more experienced, and with better technique. Some fans were concerned about her appointment, so they asked fans to help them decide if their choice was the right one. The album was titled "Judgment Day" in order to let the fans decide whether it was the right choice or not.
When this was premiered on 24th December last year the earth resounded to the collective thud of every single Wolfpack members jaws meeting something solid. Better still I’m in the front row dead centre.
I also think this song will become one of their signature songs! You can also watch Dragonforce-like guitar battles on When Destinies Align live 2021 and Signs of Deliverance live!
General suggestions for LOVEBITES... * Holy War * Edge Of The World * A Frozen Serenade * Swan Song (with Chopin intro) - When Destinies Align - Set The World On Fire * Break The Wall - Shadowmaker - Raise Some Hell - Epilogue (another "E" song, next to "Edge Of The World" and "Empty Daydream") * Glory To The World - Rising - Winds Of Transylvania (VLADLOVE version) - Thunder Vengeance - Don't Bite The Dust - Dancing With The Devil - The Awakening / The Hammer Of Wrath - Nameless Warrior [OMV] - Liar - We The United Live album 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray from August 23rd, 2023, of March 11th live concert - The Hammer Of Wrath (live 2023) (first promotional video) - Nameless Warrior (live 2023) (second snippet) * Judgement Day (live 2023) (third snippet) - Liar (live 2023) (forth snippet) Upcoming live album 2CD/DVD/Blu-ray from December 20th, 2023, of March 12th live concert - Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down) (live 2023) (first promotional video) New stuff (LOVEBITES 2.0, with new bassist Fami) - Judgement Day [OMV] - Stand And Deliver (Shoot 'Em Down) [OMV] Other new stuff from new album (audio and release party only) - Soldier Stands Solitarily - We Are The Resurrection - Lost In The Garden - Dissonance - My Orion - The Spirit Goes On - Wicked Witch - Victim Of Time
More unusual (but still very good) stuff - The Apocalypse - Under The Red Sky - Above The Black Sea - Empty Daydream * Scream For Me - Signs Of Deliverance - Addicted - Inspire - Spellbound - Dystopia Symphony - Bravehearted - Burden Of Time (must see with a special gimmick by Miyako!) - The Crusade - Today Is The Day - Journey To The Otherside - No Time To Hesitate - Pledge Of The Saviour - M.D.O. - Mastermind 01 - Paranoia - The Unbroken - Warning Shot - Golden Destination Audio only - Puppet On Strings - The Final Collision Covers - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Painkiller (Judas Priest) - Love Bites (So Do I) (Halestorm) Miyako piano covers (Etude Op.23) - Eagle Fly Free (Helloween) - Burn (Deep Purple) - Battery (Metallica) - The Loner (Gary Moore) - Far Beyond The Sun (Yngwie Malmsteen) - Addicted (LOVEBITES)
It's funny you say it's like a nightmare.. go watch the official MV.. lol. This was their comeback track with Fami after their year hiatus. Boy were the fans hungry when it was known that they had a new bass player and were ready to jump back into the fray, but I don't think anyone dared to hope for what "Judgement Day" delivered, never mind the whole album.
One of the most aggressive intros you've ever heard, eh? Anyone want to tell him about Thunder Vengeance, Hammer of Wrath, and Set the World on Fire? 😉
Judgement Day is the title track of the current Album and when they released the MV for this almost a year ago it shocked us all ... the less involved ones were like "this is not playable live" eeeehm then Lovebites went "hold my sake" as usual... the whole Album is full of "unplayable" songs and they did it again on the tour, saving the real painful soldier stands solitarily to close the set,because they can ...higher,faster,bigger,better - every time !!! I grew up watching the giants of the genre coming up, from opening act to arena-filling headline status and not one has impressed me like these ladies do - after almost 3 years of daily lovebites i still can´t watch them without getting choked up and teary eyed ....
lovebite take the best decision ith fami fami have more follower on her own utube channel than love bites then yes great metal band need great bass player
While the ladies killed it live, I'm not a fan of this live mix; Midori's guitar is too loud and dominates. I'm a guitar player by trade and while the guitar solo insanity is fun, Fami is really the star on this one. Listening to the studio version, my god, what she's doing underneath those solos is fantastic. And the little lick she plays during the chorus is just tasty as hell.

They killed it on this performance. Awesome as expected!
This song is maybe their best song ever, literally 1 year ago when Judgement Day come out, I heard the song like 20 times the first day and every time I found new things, this song is so awesome!
LOVEBITES have about 20 "best" songs in my opinion.
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘Besides lovin the whole song that face ASAMI makes at the end is priceless...
They've really brought Asami forward in the mix in this concert. That really highlights the power & clarity of her voice. She is so good. She penetrates the Soul.
looks like a shure 58 wireless not 100% sure
That, and her openness and resonance in her mixed voice. Rings like bell.
Haruna is an absolute machine!
Another great reaction Dude.. It's a MONSTER of a song... Please do your self a favour and watch the MV of this.. Well worth the time..
More Lovebites please.. Best wishes from France..
Epic, mindblowing, no argue👍🤘. Lovebites lead the metal world... yeaah!!😂💪🤘🤘🤘🤘
LOVEBITES - Judgement Day lyrics:
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What is “right” What is “wrong” What is “sin” Who’s to decide?
Hide and seek Truth or dare Playing tag Chased by the evil
Another back and forth of gaining and losing
Running out of my time
Each tick of the clock’s taking down piece of my life again
Who’s ally Who’s against Who’s to pick All in your hand
Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers turn around
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When the rain come to end, what’s waiting us Don’t look away
This is the truth
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
SOLO: midori / miyako /midori /miyako / both
Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
What do you see in this world full of insanity?
When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
This is the truth!
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Given the “foreverness”
RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
Life - Leaving name in history
Tragedy in the past, find salvation
Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
Starting here, this is the day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!
Judgement day!
JUDGEMENT DAY!

Phenomenal band great reaction mate

this kicks ass!great reaction tks from Canada!!
Welcome to LOVEBITES and thank you for doing this reaction to LOVEBITES, did you see that 🎸 used by MIYAKO, that's mean business,hell yeah LOVEBITES ROCK

In my opinion, Asami's best vocal performance is Edge of the World.

I think the most technical female vocalist from japan is Mari Hamada．
But、Asami has expressive power that captivates people all over the world than Mari Hamada．
何や､シンちゃん！ここフォローしてたんか！ワシな､この人のリアクションめっちゃ好きやねん！😎👍🇯🇵
@@SLASH-JAPAN海外の方の方が更に熱くバイツを愛してますよね。来年はいよいよ海外進出ですね。もう18年のLOVEBITESと今のLOVEBITESじゃあ、レベチというか、全日本プロレスの前座に地味に来日してたスタンハンセンと、新日本で猪木と闘い始めたスタンハンセン位違いますから。来年、海外のウルフパックは使用前使用後なら、使用後の？バイツを観ることになります。日本仕様の豪華なステージプロダクションではなくても、
72年のパープルみたいにミュージシャンがいれば凄いライブをやれるでしょう。因みに僕は海外リアクターの方の動画を自動和訳で視聴します。それは、文字通りワケのわからない闘いです。リアクターがファミさんのコメントをしようものなら、自動和訳は"家族の才能が～"とか"このクソ農場が～(ファミさんのこと)"などと訳し始めるから、
もうバイツを称賛してるんだか、けなしてるんだかワケわからなくなります。

🤣
🤘🐺🇮🇩
This is one of the greatest metal songs of all time. But Lovebites has one better - Soldier Stands Solitarily.
I really like "Dystopia Symphony".
do not forget about SHADOWMAKER midori and miyako favorite song to play!!!!
Greatest to me 🤘
For me, "A Frozen Serenade" and "Break the Wall" are better, but this is all highly subjective of course.
Fami rhymes with Mommy
🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘
The live version of this song made me appreciate it more than the MV did.
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
metal! molten metal !
if i was their tech i would full blast that bass sound! Fami a beast she needs to be bassist solo
They are coming to the US for a festival next fall. I’m hoping they add shows for a tour. If not they are simply another trip to Japan for me. Definitely in my very top bands. ❤️🐺
One that can top this, is LIVE version of Soldiers Stands Solitarily. I hope they release top quality version of it :)
Last year, when they announced the relaunch of Love Bytes, they held auditions for bassists regardless of nationality, age, or gender.

I certainly think they made the right choice! 👍🎸🤘🔥

yeahyeahyeah keep rubbing it in hehehe ...dude, next chance i will be on a plane joining you in the front row!!!
I also think this song will become one of their signature songs!
You can also watch Dragonforce-like guitar battles on When Destinies Align live 2021 and Signs of Deliverance live!

"I will run through a fcking wall for her ..." Well, too bad sir, no wall standing after this song. 🙂
Haha. Fair enough! 🤣
You should watch the music vid for this one
