Ah! This oldie! It is cute. And good. Like it. Band-Maid has taken giant leaps since then though. But, nothing wrong with this oldie. It is why they still exist. It is their first banger. According to themselves they might have given up if this did not happen.
They can just put the Bandmaid playlist on and let it ride because they have so many more songs that are more representative of the sound as it evolved since Thrill came out a decade ago.
You still haven't explored all their material. Though "Thrill" is a banger, it's not representative of what they've become. "The non fiction days" (music video on their channel), is a fast paced banger and for sure gets your blood pumping. Just as "Thrill", "Alone" is a milestone. First selfwritten song to be released on an album. "Puzzle" (live version on their channel), where Kanami more or less is soloing through the song. "Daydreaming" (video on channel). Not often do they do ballads, but when they do it for sure is great. "Blooming" IMO their most well-written song. Every member is shining, especially solo leading into one of their best vocal parts.
I agree. I kinda wish he'd start showing them newer Band-Maid songs that were actually written by them. I like Thrill, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't written by them AND they've improved in sound and technicality tremendously.
Stank Face✔Head Bob✔Brandy Makin' ✔Oh, yeah! Seeing the Maids live and up close in a small, intimate club is a "Thrill" of a lifetime. One should consider themselves lucky to experience them like this because it's becoming rare. And as for sound... it'll be the best hard rockin' sound you can imagine -- clear, discreet, powerful and full of energy and joyful vibes! (And no compression!! ;-) Just ask anyone who's experienced them live. In fact, we've been getting an earful of "wow's" and "that was incredible" from all the reactors and commenters from their successful 2022 & 2023 Band-Maid USA Tours. Rock on, Joel & Collins !
THRILL is the OG MV that's always going to be BAND-MAID's best introductory song for making TRUE fans that stick around for more than a song or two. It makes you go, WOW and literally saved their music career. NEMOPHILA is still pushing their first big hit "RAITEI" and that stripped down MV (NOT THE LIVE ONE) as their premier "starter" song to this very day, as evidenced by one of their recent "shorts" video posts where they're still promoting the "RAITEI" OG MV. Dynamic, rowdy, and in your face. Their fan-boy fans can, lol, evolve on their own time with newer stuff. BAND-MAID needs fans that last, and heavy music fans last like no other fans ever have. Like a spear that runs right through the middle of "whatever is popular," year after year after year.
Yes, but I doubt these music industry types have the time to be TRUE fans. I say hit them with their best while you have their attention. "Thrill" is a good song, but it's FAR from their best. At least show them something more indicative of what BAND-MAID is now. A super talented group of musicians and songwriters. I'm glad he liked "Thrill" but imagine how he would have reacted if he showed them "Dice" or "Blooming", any of their official live videos.
@@POWER-LINKS I just meant people with little free time on their hands. I didn't even realize that this guy worked in a distillery until after I posted that comment. I usually just skip to the reaction. LOL
You have BAND-MAID's entire TH-cam channel to choose from, yet you insist on showing these guys the 10 year old song they didn't write and when Miku couldn't play guitar yet. Imagine how blown away he would have been by "Dice" or "Blooming", or any of their official live videos. I guess we'll just have to imagine.
The guy liked this BAND-MAID oldie more than brand new LOVEBITES and Nightwish. I Don't really think it's a problem. Even the songs you picked are out of date by 4 and 5 years.
@@TehPhysics They may not be the most current BM songs, but they are songs that they wrote themselves, which is my point. They are so much more now. Plus, I just want to see some variety. If he's just going to pick "Thrill" 75% of the time, it''s going to get boring.
@@billb.5183 Fair enough. That guy seemed legitimately interested in BAND-MAID, so mission accomplished. Next time, Joel can get him to listen to 'Warning!', or something.
Sitting on the edge of my seat when you asked him who he would prefer, Nightwish, Lovebites, or Band-Maid. Immediately says Band-Maid and I jump up and cheer, " HELL YEAH!!" The man has excellent taste. No offense to Nightwish fans😅
Sure, we Maidiacs have explored all the musical territory and have discovered every facet of their music. However, it was almost exclusively “Thrill” that got all of our attention back when it happened. There’s no reason to exclude it as an introduction to Band-Maid for someone with no idea what’s about to happen. In fact, it’s fun to watch the reactions in order: “Thrill” 🤔 😊 “Domination” 😮 😁 “From Now On” 🤯
Not all of us. I heard Thrill and thought it is ok. Saw Dice like a month later and rest is history, still listen everyday like 5 years later. Thrill is an OK song but not something I would ever lead off with to a newcomer, especially a metal fan.
@@tackle47 Yeah, agreed it’s not one for metalheads. I figured hardcore metal fans would prefer Lovebites. But, if “DICE” got your attention? I’ll try that one for more intros to new listeners
@@MusicMike747 Dice is a good starter though for metal fans I think Rinne or Moritorium are the best. Also for me at least Nemophila and Hanabie slot ahead of Lovebites (though I like them as well).
Thrill hardly ever sees live sets and that has been the case for YEARS. If you have the chance one time only to get someone’s attention to the group you don’t dredge up a song the band themselves do see as essential. Domination is played EVERY show they do. Or others that they constantly being out like Puzzle, Choose Me etc…all of course have really good live versions. Love you spreading th3 World Joel but bring the heat.
It doesn't matter what he picks. Some people are always gonna complain. " you should have picked this". Maniacs are lucky that all the songs are good. Some of the other bands fan do have a legit complaint because their groups do have bad songs (see his The Warning as little kids reaction ". But maniacs can't complain that he played a bad song.
In general, because it has the most views and it's listener friendly for a general audience. In this case Joel knows this guy and has an idea of what he listens to.
@@DrAcula-os1nz You're assuming that he will ever listen to them again. I'm guessing a lot of these people probably don't. Show them their best while you have their attention.
I don't care what anyone says, this song never gets old, it's so good.
Great reaction. Band-Maid music is perfect for barrels. MISA already tested that by keeping her bottle of bourbon on top of her bass amp.
yes, shure😂😂😂
Shaken, not stirred
Now we know why. It makes it tase better.
Just a quick comment to say thank you, Joel. Appreciate you showing BAND-MAID to new people. Glad he liked it
The Thrill never gets old
It really doesn't
MISA MISA MISA!!!!! an oldie but a Goldie

I worked in a whiskey warehouse for quite some time. No wonder I love BAND-MAID.
Bandmaid's "From Now On" is just short of a million views. Help get it over the line.
They can just put the Bandmaid playlist on and let it ride because they have so many more songs that are more representative of the sound as it evolved since Thrill came out a decade ago.
I like this guy. I've driven through Kentucky, with the radio on, many times. It's a classic rock state. The most classic B-M song. Good choice.
Sounds like he's intrigued and wants to hear more!

Band-Maid for the W 😉
C'mon, not Thrill again. I like the song and it's definitly a milestone in their early history but this isn't much representative of the band today.
He loved it.
Dude, this song is their like trademark you could say
So much that it is rarely performed on stage again there days 😉
😀😀😀😀 1000 upvotes
A timeless standard. It hooked me and it continues to impress newbies.
Smart man with good taste.
😃
Pretty sure MISA is going to approve of this particular guest. 🍺
yup time for a follow up... hit em with "Flying High" for a dose of solid rock :)

Never forget that Kanami took up guitar to IMPRESS THE GIRLS! I just love that tidbit.
Before Band Maid?
So she could look cool to everyone.
Thrill??? A 7+ year old song. Come on, they have a catalog of over a 100 songs.
He loved it.
@@billb.5183 well, again, he said he loved it. What more can you wish for?
@@UltraHD.7 A little variety would be nice. I am glad he liked it though.
It doesn't matter what he picks. Some people are always gonna complain. " you should have picked this". Maniacs are lucky that all the songs are good.

Next song Real Existence, Warning, or Blooming.
The C&K guide has great taste..........see what I did there
Is this the ONLY Band Maid song you know?
More Band-Maid. Well of course! It's only logical!
Why do people keep introducing BM with one of their oldest C tier songs??
In general, because it has the most views and it's listener friendly for a general audience. In this case Joel knows this guy and has an idea of what he listens to.
Thrill, again. Thrill is a good song but it doesn't impress anyone.😒
He loved it.
This song fucking slaps.
@@UltraHD.7 Good for him, then the joy will only increase when he hears other songs
@@DrAcula-os1nz You're assuming that he will ever listen to them again. I'm guessing a lot of these people probably don't. Show them their best while you have their attention.
@@billb.5183I bet this song landed more fans than any other song.
ASTERISM HOLLYWOOD BLVD.
GOOD IDEA.
