Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥 Here some information about the band: LOVEBITES are around since 2016 and their first EP and album came out in 2017. At this point they have already released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of live DVD/Blu-ray releases. Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band. Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023. It debuted on #4 at iTunes album charts worldwide and #1 at metal charts in 8 countries. Recently their album „Judgement Day“ was voted #15 in best metal albums of the year 2023 by readers of Metal Hammer UK. Also „Stand and deliver“ was voted on #15 for best metal song of the year. What are fantastic results for a still relatively unknown and foreign band. LOVEBITES finished touring Japan last October. They will be on a WORLD TOUR this year. First dates are already announced for this summer. They will appear at several festivals. For example they will play on main stage at Hellfest/France, one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe (with 60k tickets sold). Now we (the wolfpack) are all waiting for more dates to be announced …
excellent reaction , thank you welcome to the fantastic world of the LOVEBITES , their songs have only 2 categories , fantastic or masterpieces, 😀🧡💛💚💙💜🐺🤘
The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames) Asami on vocals (the one and only voice): Has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch): She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, also she is a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, she loves her pets and Star Wars Midori on guitars (crazy shredder): Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, does songwriting for a few songs, also she is a body fitness athlete Haruna on drums (little big engine): Best drummer in the universe (IMO), wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers): Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger): she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3, also the band was Miho‘s idea, she and Haruna were the founding members!
Miyako is the guitarist primarily on the right side (with the dark hair) and Midori is the guitarist on the left side (with the lighter hair). Any songs/performances 2021 or earlier will have Miho on the bass, and all performances starting in 2022 will have Fami on the bass.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites music. This band will impress you with every listening. They are always in white! They always play these amazing long guitar solos! They will never disappoint you. This "Holy war" is an amazing performance, but the best version of it on their official TH-cam channel! I suggest you to watch their live video "Set the world on fire" on their official TH-cam channel. Thank you for the video. More Lovebites on the channel. And welcome to the WolfPack!
LOVEBITES are arguably the most musically talented metal band on the planet, especially when Miyako's "concert" pianist skills are taken into consideration.
Welcome to the realm of the wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! This band formed in 2016 and is named after a song from Halestorm. These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. As you have just witnessed, they are phenomenal LIVE ! You have barely scratched the surface as they currently have a catalogue of around 60 original songs which none of them is bad. From the same concert, I recommend "Judgement Day" LIVE : th-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/w-d-xo.html . Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole that's Lovebites !
LOVEBITES is THE GOAT OF HEAVY METAL & ROCK MUSIC IMHO, Since discovering LOVEBITES 5 years ago I have forgotten to listen to my thousands of Cd's & Dvd's collection from the legends of rock & metal that I have listened and adored for the last 50 years. I couldn't believe that this talented & phenomenal once in a lifetime band will surpass all the admiration I had for those former monsters of rock that I considered my heroes and I followed for so many years. But now I find peace and contentment to finally found LOVEBITES and the search is over because I can now rest in peace knowing & witnessing the Greatest Band in my lifetime. LOVEBITES FOREVER, BTW Thanks for a great reaction. Melbourne Wolfpack.
A little correction. The name of the band comes from the song "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm, which they performed during one rehearsal and felt that it suited the vocalist Asami's voice.
Forget Judas priest, iron maiden, dragonforce or any other metal band you can think of.......this is LOVEBITES!! The best band on the planet......trust me you ain't heard nothing yet !!!
LOVEBITES sits at the very top of the all female Japanese heavy metal bands. For me they sit at the very top of all power metal bands that have ever existed too (male or female) because they are so much more than just a power metal band. They have several thrash metal songs in their repertoire too - that have a Slayer or Metallica vibe and sometimes blend that style into their power metal songs, making them sound heavier than most power metal bands.
Miyako is playing is a Gibson Futura. from a 1957 concept design witch became the Explorer in 1958. Miyako is a Gibson collector. Also has a collection of Dean guitars plus her piano. .MIYAKO AND MIDORI must be in the top league of metal guitarist in the world i think.
Lovebites Holy War - Not a cover song, a long song, a brilliant song, superbly played. A great reaction video from a true metal fan. I am very pleased. Lovebites History : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

🤣🤣🤣 Now you've done it ! Welcome to the enormous rabbit hole of the best metal band in the world right now - YOU'LL ENJOY IT ! And believe me ( and every other comment ) when I say - you ain't seen nothing yet 😉
About their outfits. When they were touring Europe as the opening band for Dragonforce, a French metal magazine interviewed Asami (singing) about that and her response was, "We're girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also, we are all small and the white and gold makes it easier to see us on stage." And they ARE small! Haruna (drums) is only 4' 9" and the tallest members, Fami (bass) and Miyako (Gibson guitar) are 5' 2". They do a legit cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller. th-cam.com/video/T0MIMxFrcqU/w-d-xo.html On their song, Break The Wall, they sound like Slayer. They don't have a bad song and there are over 50 of them. Miyako has been studying classical piano since she was 3 and taught herself how to play the guitar in high school. Look for the song, Swan Song, but make sure it has the Chopin into to hear her playing on the piano. And an interesting little fact about her, she like to go fishing on her down time. Asami had not listened to heavy metal before joining Lovebites, she is an R&B signer, even studied in the US for a couple years. She also studied Ballet and you can see that in her movements on stage. Fami joined Lovebites in 2022 and she has her own TH-cam page (over 600K Subscribers) and has some amazing vids of her playing bass from back in high school. You should check this one out: th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html Midori (blond guitarist) started going to the gym during covid and fell in love with it and now competes in amateur bodybuilding/fitness competition in Japan. Haruna makes earrings as a hobby and sells them to. Some other Japanese bands for you to check out (besides Babymetal (who are cool btw)): Nemophila - Dissension Them and Lovebites are the best all female metal bands in Japan. Hanabie (ha-na-be-eh) - We Love sweets You haven't lived until you have young Japanese ladies scream at you about how much they love pastries. MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Yoshu Fukushu They are VERY influential in Japan. Hanabie started as a MTH cover band in high school. They are called the System Of A Down of Japan. But that is an unfair comparison, for S.O.A.D. Their music is pure chaos, multiple time, key and even genre changes in the same song. Just sit down, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Band Maid - Real Existence These ladies are more Hard Rock than metal but they are amazing. Band Maids drummer, Akane Hirose, didn't know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao from MTH play. And now she is one of Jimmy Page's favorite drummers. Unlucky Morpheus - CADAVER/REVADAC They play the sing CADAVER, then they play it backward note for note, REVADAC. Btw, they have a heavy metal violinist who also does Van Halen and Steve Vai covers. And if you want to take a trip to India, yes, India has metal bands. Check out the folk metal band Bloodywood and their song Aaj(today) Don't worry, they sing in Hindi and English.
Welcome to the Wolfpack. They are named after a song, but it's not Judas Priest. Named after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm. Lead singer Asami has joined Lzzy and Halestorm , at Download 2019, to perform that song. Miyako and Midori (blond pony tail) are IMO 2 of the best guitarists today. Haruna is a beast on drums. Here you see new bassist Fami, she joined in Oct 2022. Original bassist , and band co-founder, Miho, left in 2021. Formed in 2016, they have 4 full albums , and 60+ songs , to date. Holy War is from the 3rd album, Electric Pentagram from 2020, singular, the Megadeth song is plural. Midori plays ESP, Miyako is playing Gibson here, but plays Dean often. The piano you mentioned, is not for show. Miyako is a classically trained pianist, concert level ability, a pianist first, picked up guitar at a much later age. All are between 4'9" and 5'2". They consider themselves heavy metal. Some songs lean towards power metal. some towards thrash, and some ballads. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Helloween are some of their influences. This Knockin' At Heaven's Gate concert was their first in 2 years (hiatus due to world shutdown and search for new bassist), in spring 2023, Fami's live debut on bass. She fits right in. To see Miyako's piano ability, try Swan Song at the Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 concert. It was played here in 2023, but the Chopin piano intro is not included in the posted video. Also from the 2020 show: Thunder Vengeance and Break the Wall. More from this2023 concert: Judgement Day, Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down), and Hammer of Wrath.
Thank you, my friend! I'm not at all familiar with Halestorm so, seeing that they do cover Painkiller, I assumed that the name came from the JP song. I can't wait to check out their full catalogue live and studio. Phenomenal band! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill LOVEBITES are awesome.🤘🤘. Definitely check out Halestorm too. American rock band from Red Lion, Pa. Lzzy Hale is a badass. Try I Am the Fire, I Miss The Misery, Back From the Dead, or the aforementioned Love Bites (So Do I) to start.
I'm sure others would have already pointed this out, but just in case they haven't ... 1.) LOVEBITES are named after the Halestorm song "Love Bites (and So Do I)" 2.) This song is called "Holy War", while the Megadeth song is called "Holy Wars" 3.) They have only done about three covers in total - all their songs on their albums are originals.
haaaahahaha now that was fun...hmmm new reactor -killers shirt ,prince symbol in the back -off to a good start and then some halfbaked infos about some band that does some covers ooooh this is gonna be fun ...the rest is as usual LOVEBITES does LOVEBITES stuff and the jaw hits the floor - now welcome to the world of the wolfpack and be prepared to completely fall in love with this band ...tons of amazing stuff where that came from and your jaw will continue to drop and your brain might melt a little!!!!
I hope my brain doesn't melt any more than it already is. I only have like a dozen brain cells left 😁. But, you see I learned a lot from these comments so I'm sure I'll be blown away but at least I know what's going on! Thanks for the welcome! 🤘🐺🤘
If LOVEBITES were around in the mid to late 1980s, they would have been the biggest metal band on the planet. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest would have been opening for them.
LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans. They play ECLECTIC METAL. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM, heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, progressive pieces and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, A&B and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal. 🐺🤘LOVEBITES 🤘🐺 the team of five thrashpower metal goddesses from Japan_Tokyo.

Thank you for the warm welcome! And I welcome The Wolfpack! I appreciate all the links and recommendations, I really do. There will be lots of LOVEBITES on my show, I can assure you, my friend! 🤘🐺🤘
LOVEBITES named themselves after the song 'Love Bites (So Do I)' by the band HALESTORM. Not JUDAS PRIEST, DEF LEPPARD, etc. LOVEBITES was on friendly terms with HALESTORM and performed as an opening act for HALESTORM. 'Holy Wars…The Punishment Due' - song MEGADETH 'Holy War' - song of LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES is not a cover band. The ladies have composed and released 58 original songs and musical compositions.
I didn't think they were a cover band, only that they did covers. I am not at all familiar with Halestorm so there is no way I could know they have a song with (almost) the same title. JP's Love Bites predates all the rest and as a Priest fan, I made an assumption. And yes, one consonant difference between Megadeth and LOVEBITES 😁. Every time I start a new rabbit hole, I make many mistakes and then here, with the fans of the band helping me through I become fully armed for the second one. And there will be a second one and so on! Thank you for the info, my friend!
Lovebites is: - Miyako "The golden touch" (Guitar/Piano) - Midori "Crazy shredder" (Guitar) - Asami "The one and only voice" (Vocals) - Fami "Shining Fingers" (Bass) - Haruna "Little big engine" (Drums)
Thank you for reacting to Metal Goddesses Lovebites.. They are perfection.. Great reaction..you will be amazed at each Lovebites performance/song/ skill level off the charts... Not a band on the planet that sounds better live..
First reactions are always so fun! 😀 Glad to see your happiness! Personally I like the older live mix much more than this. The guitar solos are much clearer. Go check it out! All I heard from this bluray/DVD has the same problem. Older ones are pure fantastic
this band has no peer! they do not know how to write bad, stale or mediocre songs. and their performances are already legendary. you won´t find a band, which can bring so much joy, fun, energy, power and talent to the stage than these ladies. stick with them, it´s totally worth it. and be aware, that the wolfpack will invade your channel. my suggestion for the next one : "we the united" live tokyo 2023 from their official channel.
Welcome! Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. Very nice feedback. Please spread LOVEBITES to the world through your channel. LOVEBITES has about 60 songs.

Awesome! Thank you for the info. I take notes on all the info you and the other fans have given me so next time i will be armed with knowledge!! Thank you so much, my friend! Much more LOVEBITES to come 🤘❤️🤘
Best metal band to come along in decades. Elite musicians. Midori & Miyako are among the best dual guitarists I've seen in 5 decades. Dive deeper, they just get more impressive. The Japanese metal/rock scene is currently the best in the world IMO.
Great reaction. You are in an Iron Maiden shirt. They wrote a tribute to Aces High which is titled as The Crusade th-cam.com/video/0guewPdnrKQ/w-d-xo.html. If you like a serious headbanger, try Break The Wall th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html. This is an old version but I like it. These two videos are performed with the former bassist/the band founder Miho who left the band in Aug. 2021 for her personal reasons, and she is playing with another band now. The dark haired guitarist on Gibson is Miyako who actually is Dean guitar ambassador in Japan.
Now you tipped your toe... oh boy. "Best New Band: Lovebites." - Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards 2018. Japanese metal is a rabbit hole that will surprise you. I'd say the best metal today comes from Japan. Lovebites is one of the biggest ones but I'd add at least Nemophila and Hanabie. This song was from Lovebites power metal side, but they also do trash metal. I'd continue with Hammer of Wrath Official Live Video from Knockin' At Heaven's Gate, which happens to be my favorite from Lovebites. For next new band I'd recommend Nemophila - Revive. That's one step heavier than this.
0:26 in, two corrections: LOVEBITES is named after "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm, although their music is pretty close to bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc. Second, they have 3 covers, they could probably cover anything, but they write all their stuff by themselves. They now have 4 full albums and 3 EPs (more is in the works) from 2017 to 2023 with 55 own songs and some instrumentals. All of them are worth mentioning, there's not a single song, that is not fantastic! BTW: Thanks, that you wrote "Holy War" in the title, this is also not a cover of "Holy Wars" (Megadeth)!
Thank you for the corrections. This is typical when I start down a rabbit hole. Then you guys, the fans, teach me about the band and the going forward, I'll be in the know. Funny, I wanted to react to Painkiller first, but I saw Holy War and just being 'reactionary' I clicked on it and ran. This is what happens to the brain when we get old and have been rocked by decades of metal music 😁
@@BemusingBill I doubt, that you can find anyone else, who does this lists for over 300 reactor channels, but I get what you mean! "Painkiller" was a bonus track, there's no live version, but the audio version is really the best cover of this song out there!
@CaffeineNightOwl Gibson reissued the Futura from 1996-2008 so there are some out there. They usually run from $4-5k, also Miyako's is not Korina, it's Mahogany, her 58 reissue V is Korina
No, never heard of them until I discovered BABYMETAL. That opened the door on Japanese metal. Before BABYMETAL, the only band from Japan I knew of was Loudness.
@@BemusingBill 😵Oh, sorry🙏please try other Japanese girl metal band "Nemophila" or hard rock band "Band-maid". I'm sure you'll love it. Their skills are also greatほんとうにすみませんでした🙏 PS: Nemophila's guitarist Saki is a fan of Loudness's NoBoru takasaki and her technique is top notch
Welcome to the Wolfpack uncle Bill. This is a rabbit hole worthy of exploring. These ladies have set the new bar for power metal bands . If you ask any fan of there’s what is your favorite Lovebites song the answer is always the same, it’s the last song you listened to. Can’t wait to see more of these amazing ladies blow your mind. Just subbed !
Looks like we have another reactor bitten by the white wolves of LOVEBITES!! You will soon realize how lucky you were to discover them today. Phenomenal band. Lovebites already won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. Their most recent album hit #1 in 8 different countries the day it was released, and they will be embarking on a world tour this year. They have done just a few covers, but they have almost 60 original songs, so they aren't a cover band. All their songs are amazing and mind blowing. Next up - Judgement Day live. th-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/w-d-xo.html
The music of LOVEBITES is based on the heavy metal of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. In 2018, LOVEBITES was recognized as the "Best New Band" in the world of heavy music. They received the GOLDEN GODS Award from the reputable Metal Hammer (June 2018, London, UK). The third Album of LOVEBITES entered the "Top 20 Best Metal Albums of 2020" by Metal Hammer. The fourth Album of LOVEBITES became #15 in the list of "Best Metal Albums of 2023" Metal Hammer. This is a phenomenal band. If you love thrash, speed, progressive, power, neoclassical metal, then I advise you to start your journey into the World of LOVEBITES.
My friend, that journey has officially started! Thank you for the info! I count on you guys to bring me up to date on the band, their bio, accomplishments, etc. Thank you for the help. 🤘❤️🤘
@@GrayFox14 I'm replying you here because I can't seem to reply your replies under my comments, not sure why. Note that the troll we all know of has not gone away, he has a new tactic which is to slowly and quietly infiltrate the Wolfpack with some "new" trolling accounts. Not exactly new, but older accounts he has created between around 2020-2022 (some might even be older). So far, these accounts have only posted 1 or 2 "positive comments" each, but I'm quite sure they're designed eventually to sow discord WITHIN the Wolfpack community. So keep alert.
@@boyzyu Thanks for the warning. Most likely, your answers (like mine) are blocked due to complaints organized by the troll from his numerous fake accounts. Due to troll complaints, many comments that contain useful information about LOVEBITES are also blocked. The troll has already sowed discord. True fans began to suspect newcomers, especially those who had recently registered. I know several such cases. Moreover, because of the troll, the comments of these newcomers also began to be blocked.
@@GrayFox14 Yep, it's important to note that not all newcomers are troll accounts, only some are. Having said that, it's always good to be skeptical so that we all remain alert. As long as the comments stay positive, we can just let them be. However, watch out for some of these possible trolling accounts when they SUBTLY try to turn one Wolfpack member against another. This is when we step in.

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reaction marked with a star (*). All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
In my opinion, "Break the Wall" is the best thrash song ever written, better than anything from Slayer, Anthrax, Testament or any other thrash band. It's an incredible song without the "Gary Moore" solo, but with it, it climbs to the top of the heap. th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html
Welcome my friend to Lovebites, arguably the best heavy metal band on the planet right now, these ladies are sublimely talented, their song writing skills, musicianship & live shows are not to be missed.The Wolfpack 🐺 will guide you through the forest of Lovebites music enjoy your journey Regards Wolfpack 🐺 UK 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥🤯🤘
The only covers I know from Lovebites are : Love bites (so do I) by Halestorm (this is how they got their name), Eagle Fly Free by Helloween and Painkiller by Judas Priest (my fav and sounds cleaner than the original)
Well technically there is one more: "Ballade No.1 In G minor, Op.23" by Miyako, and it's on Lovebites Knockin’ At Heaven’s Gate DVD. It's my personal favorite just because I will bet my life that is an experience that you do not get with any other metal band. Only Lovebites is able to deliver that.
During their very first ever performance as a band they played other covers but there is no recording or video of it. 2016-08-04 - Japan (Secret Show) - Unknown Location Setlist: Headhunter (Krokus) - Heavy Metal Thunder (Saxon) - Creeping Death (Metallica) - Overkill (Motörhead) - Battery (Metallica)

Miyako and Midori on guitar are polar opposites in many ways. Maybe why they go together as well? Miyako is a true nerd in many sense. Likes building up a sound literally. She has built a guitar. Her main guitar for years has been the Dean Icon, which she had to tweak with new PUs. Which isnt her only Dean: the ML and her own Dean Signature V. During the your we will also see this rare Gibson Futura, a Les Paul, Fender telecaster and a strat. The pedal board and amps are put together carefully. Midori is quite different, doing well with her ESP Horizon and Kemper pedal board.
Thank you for the info, friend. As a guitar nerd, I love both those guitars. That Futura is very rare. I've only seen it in pictures or books on Gibson. Great to see it still on the road! They are both phenomenal guitarists!🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBillMidori is an extrovert while Miyako is an introvert. Midori makes guitar faces and tries to get the crowd going. Miyako will remain cool and focused and rarely show any emotion. It doesn't mean she is bored or disinterested.
What a great genuine reaction. Wel done, sir! Lovebites, Nemophila, Babymetal, Hanabie, Maximum the Hormone, they're all legit. Japan's metal scene is on fire right now. 🔥
@@BemusingBillFYI the reason we are called the wolf pack is because Lovebites has a wolf on the cover of every album. They are sometimes called the white wolves because of how they dress.
Agree, re: Japanese guitars. Of my five electrics, only one (a nice Les Paul Standard) is NOT Japanese: ESP, Infinite, G-Life, and Kino Factory. All simply world class. And speaking of world class...Lovebites are one of the very best metal bands in the world. And they're far from alone in that accolade in the J-metal scene. Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus, Galneryus, Hanabie., Ningen Isu, Asterism, Crystal Lake...and I'm just scratching the surface (and leaving out hard rock...).
That piano on stage is not just decorating .. you'll find out in the future reactions. Enjoy the road; Japanese bands, and especially all female bands, are on a whole new level.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites. Be prepared to go down a rabbit hole that you will not want to come out of. In my humble opinion, they are the gold standard of metal today. I could go on all day about how great they are but I'll let their music do the talking.
I'm not really into the Japanese music scene, it's not my style but Lovebites is hands down the best metal band I've heard in a real long time and I don't think anyone will surpass them anytime soon. Band-Maid is pretty f'ing awesome too for a hard rock band.
All of Lovebites songs are sung in English. There are lots of all female Japanese bands to have yet to discover. Bands like Nemophila, Hanabie, Band-Maid, Trident and so many more.
Welcome to the 8th Wonder of the World. Songs from their last concert release, Knocken at Heavens Gate (Fami era begins), has great songs showing the various variety of Heavy metal styles they play: Hammer of Wrath Nameless Warrior Judgement Day Liar Swan Song Stand and Deliver M.D.O We the United Another great concert with the original bass player, Miho, is 2020 Five of a Kind. Great intro song with Thunder Vengeance along with 18 other GREAT songs!!!! Welcome to a whole new world of Lovebites!!!! P.S. They do play Painkiller by Judas Priest. There is just an audio version video, but they do one hell of a job with the song. If it was just an instrumental, you would not be able to tell the difference.
LOVEBITES next live songs Judgement Day, The Hammer Of Wrath, Break The Wall, Set The World On Fire, When Destinies Align, Shadow Maker, Stand And Deliver, cover song Pain Killer(Judas Priest).. Bro, check also another TOP all Japanese female Metal/Rock Bands... NEMOPHILA live 2023 songs ZEN, Change The World, Seize The Fate, Rise, Revive, Dissension, Raitei and cover songs The Trooper, Aces High(Iron Maiden), Shout At The Devil(Motley Crue), Youth Gone Wild(Skid Row), SUGAR(SOTD), LIMPBISKIT, KISS, AC/DC.. BAND-MAID live songs Freedom, Domination, Play, Thrill, Dice, Hate, On Set, Giovanni, Warning, Shambles, Influencer... HANABIE songs We Love Sweets, Pardon Me, Be The GAL, OTAKU, NEET GAME...

ASTERISM(female guitarist) songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Lights In The Darkness, Church, Blaze, Gunfire, all songs with crazy guitar and 7string bass solos... MAXIMUM THE HORMON(female drummer) songs Prey, Alien, Koi No Sperm....
Band Maid is a great band. They sing in Japanese and play rock music. Different genre than Lovebites. Kanami their lead guitar player is on par with Midori and Miyako. @@BemusingBill
Musically, the LOVEBITES cover of "Painkiller" is better than the original, although to be fair, this is probably mostly due to the superior sound equipment available these days. But in terms of musicianship, Miyako and Midori are at least as good (and probably better) than Tipton and Downing.
Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These women are extremely talented, skillful, versatile and exceptional musicians. Their main influences are Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Angra, Dragonforce, Helloween, Yngwie Malmsteen, Deep Purple, Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Their live performances are just outstanding. My next recommendations are “Judgement Day”, “The hammer of wrath”, “Set the world on fire”, “Breaking the wall” (all live)
Thank you for the warm welcome! With influencers like that, there is no doubt they will kick ass! I really appreciate the recommendations as it helps with the next sing choice. Much more to come, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
Always a pleasure to see someone's wow moment when they discover LOVEBITES. (Plenty more from where that came from). Looks like you've already got plenty of band info in the comments. They are an enigma with their gold and white formalities contrasting with the heavy metal. Love it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just FYI Bill. Lovebites named after Halstorm's song Love Bites (And so Do I), not the Judas Priest or Def Leppard song. This is an original song. Megadeth's song is Holy WarS (the Punishment Due). Most of Lovebites songs are originals with just a few cover songs. I love when people come in with preconceived notions, only to have them shattered. "they don't look metal" lmao. I recommend for Lovebites songs - Shadowmaker (Music Video) The Hammer of Wrath (Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate) Set The World On Fire [Live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021"] A Frozen Serenade 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics Thunder Vengeance [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020] Glory to the World (Music Video) Stand and Deliver (Music Video)
Name came from Halestorm, not Judas Priest. And of course now you know this isn’t a cover at all… Lovebites probably the best heavy metal band on the planet right now 🐺🎸🤘
When I noticed they do Painkiller I just assumed along the same lines of the Priest song Love Bites. I'm not at all familiar with Halestorm. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill yep, that Painkiller cover was basically the only cover I remember them ever doing and they crushed it! Lovebites has a deep and varied catalog of original material - everything from Testament/Slayer-esq thrash, through Dragon Force power metal, and just straightup Judas Priest/Iron Maiden heavy metal. They have some exceptional symphonic/progressive metal tracks also! So much to discover! 🤘🎸🐺
Oh, silly me - of course they did Eagle... but I don't think I've seen the full band do Love Bites??? I saw Asami when she did the song with Halestorm at Download... if there's a link... 🙂?@@ChadTheDragonLord
Miyako, the guitarist playing that funky Gibson, is classically trained pianist who didn't start playing guitar until she was almost 19, and she's self taught off a how-to manual. Of course she alrady had a pretty good knowledge of theory and had geeat hand coordination from piano, but she never took formal lessons, basically learning by picking up songs by ear. The 1st metal song she ever learned by ear was "Master Of Puppets" (I remember being pumped when i figured out "Iron Man" lol) and she aslo was a big fan of Gary Moore, Dimebag and Paul Gilbert (you can here these influences in a lot of Lovebites' material, over 40 originals, all unique with non average). Her playing and writing ranges from thrash, symphonic metal, bluesy and sometimes a little elements of funk, but it all works. She plays a lot of different brand guitars, but she's officially endorsed by Dean and plays mostly a custom Dimebag shape, custom Flying V, and custom PRS style Deans. Miyako also can play bass (slap) and drums along with guitar and piano, and has fast become one of my favorite overall songwriter musicians (for reference my all time GOAT is Prince). She's a phenomenal talent.The whole band is full of elite musicians and their catalog is well worth diving into.
I see you have an Iron Maiden shirt on. The lead singer has been described as a female Bruce Dickinson. I think that is mostly due to the amount of vibrato in her voice.
Hello I’m from japan．Thank you for your great reaction! There are many fantastic bands in japan from 70’s． But many bands had big weak point. It was "singer". However、 you can find many great japanese vocalists、nowadays. Especially、Asami the vocalist is another level. Finally、you discover ultimate heavy metal band.Please enjoy、fantastic LOVEBITES world、much much more.
Somehow, Zeus from Greek mythology sent the goddesses of Olympus to this world in the form of beautiful Japanese women. They were given instruments and voices that thunder. Their mission has only just begun. I can't take my eyes off them. ✨🥰🤘
Oh, Bill, you don't know what you have started here... - subbed, btw. The dual guitar attack is a trademark of Lovebites, a solo each and synchronous soloing is their modi operandi for most songs. Checked your catalogue and you need to dig deeper in the Japanese rabbit hole 😉 though with ningen Isu, you are off to a good start. Babymetal is not all there is - not by a mile. Band-Maid and Babymetal are normally the regulars for a introduction to the Japanese rabbit hole. Female metal is a big big thing in Japan! and you will love it... Eventually, you will end up at Lovebites - again - a band of immense talent and capabilities.

@@BemusingBill they pay hommage to aces high in this song. One of my favorites from iron maiden. If you more a thrash guy check out hammer of wrath(heavens gate version) or break the wall were the last one is a combination of slayer and gary moore. I discovered lovebites duo another reaction channel 2 years back and became my favorite band since their main influences are 80/90 metal🤘
@@Roy19861 This is a serious question. I see a lot of people spell "thrash" as "trash" when referring to thrash metal. I see it so often, it can't just be a typos every time. If you wouldn't mind, could you please explain to me why you call it "trash" rather than "thrash".
Because the TH sound is not in other languages. I correct them all the time. But they may be using speech to text and don't bother to spell check. @@1970Phoenix
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
SOLO: midori
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

Wow! Thank you for the lyrics! Absolutely love it! 🤘🐺🤘
@@BemusingBill 🐺
World's best metal band. 👍🤘🤘
Welcome to LOVEBITES 🤘🏼🐺🔥
Here some information about the band:
LOVEBITES are around since 2016 and their first EP and album came out in 2017. At this point they have already released 4 albums, some Singles/EPs and also a bunch of live DVD/Blu-ray releases.
Back in 2018/2019 LOVEBITES have already toured in Europe, including appearances at the major metal festivals as Wacken, Download, Bloodstock, Graspop. In 2018 they also won the Metal Hammer UK Golden Gods Award for best new band.
Then came covid, their original bass player and founder Miho quit the band for personal reasons and two babies were born. After a break LOVEBITES came back with new bassist Fami and new song „Judgement Day“ in late 2022. A new album with the same title came out in February 2023. It debuted on #4 at iTunes album charts worldwide and #1 at metal charts in 8 countries.
Recently their album „Judgement Day“ was voted #15 in best metal albums of the year 2023 by readers of Metal Hammer UK. Also „Stand and deliver“ was voted on #15 for best metal song of the year. What are fantastic results for a still relatively unknown and foreign band.
LOVEBITES finished touring Japan last October. They will be on a WORLD TOUR this year. First dates are already announced for this summer. They will appear at several festivals. For example they will play on main stage at Hellfest/France, one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe (with 60k tickets sold). Now we (the wolfpack) are all waiting for more dates to be announced …
excellent reaction , thank you
welcome to the fantastic world of the LOVEBITES , their songs have only 2 categories , fantastic or masterpieces, 😀🧡💛💚💙💜🐺🤘
My favorite heavy metal band.
The band members of LOVEBITES are (including their official nicknames)
Asami on vocals (the one and only voice):
Has an amazing vocal range and vibrato, writes most of the lyrics, also did parts of the song writing for their latest 2 albums, she is a former ballerina and RnB/soul singer
Miyako on guitars, piano, keyboards (the golden touch):
She is the musical brain of the band, main composer and arranger, also she is a soulful but also shreddy guitar player and concert level pianist, she loves her pets and Star Wars
Midori on guitars (crazy shredder):
Incredibly fast and technical guitar player, does songwriting for a few songs, also she is a body fitness athlete
Haruna on drums (little big engine):
Best drummer in the universe (IMO), wrote one of their songs including lyrics, creates handmade miniature fake food
Fami on bass since 2022 (shining fingers):
Absolute bass prodigy with outstanding technique, she speaks faster than sonic speed as she plays and smiles non-stop
Miho on bass until 2021 (natural born headbanger):
she is a great bass player, she wrote several of the songs for the band’s albums 1-3, also the band was Miho‘s idea, she and Haruna were the founding members!
Miyako is the guitarist primarily on the right side (with the dark hair) and Midori is the guitarist on the left side (with the lighter hair).
Any songs/performances 2021 or earlier will have Miho on the bass, and all performances starting in 2022 will have Fami on the bass.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites music. This band will impress you with every listening.
They are always in white! They always play these amazing long guitar solos! They will never disappoint you.
This "Holy war" is an amazing performance, but the best version of it on their official TH-cam channel!
I suggest you to watch their live video "Set the world on fire" on their official TH-cam channel.
Thank you for the video. More Lovebites on the channel. And welcome to the WolfPack!
Thank you! 🤘🤘
Midori💚💚💚💚💚, love lovebites, one of the best heavy metal band in this era
LOVEBITES are arguably the most musically talented metal band on the planet, especially when Miyako's "concert" pianist skills are taken into consideration.
Miyako is playing her Gibson Futura 1957 , very rare, she is a Gibson collector, but she normally plays Dean guitars, she is a Dean ambassador
I thought I recognized that guitar from pictures. Very rare indeed! At least it has the forked headstock like a Dean. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
her gold top LP is also beautiful
Welcome to the realm of the wolfpack (Lovebites fans from around the world) ! This band formed in 2016 and is named after a song from Halestorm. These amazing ladies play a seamless and innovative blend of speed-power/thrash/prog/neoclassical metal/heavy rock/power ballads which makes their sound unique and contemporary. As you have just witnessed, they are phenomenal LIVE ! You have barely scratched the surface as they currently have a catalogue of around 60 original songs which none of them is bad. From the same concert, I recommend "Judgement Day" LIVE : th-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/w-d-xo.html . Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole that's Lovebites !
LOVEBITES is THE GOAT OF HEAVY METAL & ROCK MUSIC IMHO, Since discovering LOVEBITES 5 years ago I have forgotten to listen to my thousands of Cd's & Dvd's collection from the legends of rock & metal that I have listened and adored for the last 50 years. I couldn't believe that this talented & phenomenal once in a lifetime band will surpass all the admiration I had for those former monsters of rock that I considered my heroes and I followed for so many years. But now I find peace and contentment to finally found LOVEBITES and the search is over because I can now rest in peace knowing & witnessing the Greatest Band in my lifetime. LOVEBITES FOREVER, BTW Thanks for a great reaction. Melbourne Wolfpack.
I love how LOVEBITES blows away any preconceived ideas of what to expect. They do that song after song. You'll see.
I can't wait, my friend! 🤘🐺🤘
Best heavy metal band!🤘🏼❤️
🤘❤️🤘
A little correction. The name of the band comes from the song "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm, which they performed during one rehearsal and felt that it suited the vocalist Asami's voice.
Reason for the piano in the background LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro] (Five of a Kind, th-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/w-d-xo.html
Forget Judas priest, iron maiden, dragonforce or any other metal band you can think of.......this is LOVEBITES!! The best band on the planet......trust me you ain't heard nothing yet !!!
LOVEBITES sits at the very top of the all female Japanese heavy metal bands. For me they sit at the very top of all power metal bands that have ever existed too (male or female) because they are so much more than just a power metal band. They have several thrash metal songs in their repertoire too - that have a Slayer or Metallica vibe and sometimes blend that style into their power metal songs, making them sound heavier than most power metal bands.
All hail, the Metal queen's !!
😏♥️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
Miyako is playing is a Gibson Futura. from a 1957 concept design witch became the Explorer in 1958. Miyako is a Gibson collector. Also has a collection of Dean guitars plus her piano. .MIYAKO AND MIDORI must be in the top league of metal guitarist in the world i think.
Lovebites Holy War - Not a cover song, a long song, a brilliant song, superbly played. A great reaction video from a true metal fan. I am very pleased.
Lovebites History :
Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in
2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany
2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England
2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium
2019 - Download Festival in Spain.
In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward.

Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸
Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for such great info. I've added all of those suggestions to my list. Much more LOVEBITES coming my friend! 🤘🤘
🤣🤣🤣 Now you've done it !
Welcome to the enormous rabbit hole of the best metal band in the world right now - YOU'LL ENJOY IT !
And believe me ( and every other comment ) when I say - you ain't seen nothing yet 😉
About their outfits. When they were touring Europe as the opening band for Dragonforce, a French metal magazine interviewed Asami (singing) about that and her response was, "We're girls, we don't want to dress like boys. Also, we are all small and the white and gold makes it easier to see us on stage." And they ARE small! Haruna (drums) is only 4' 9" and the tallest members, Fami (bass) and Miyako (Gibson guitar) are 5' 2".
They do a legit cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller. th-cam.com/video/T0MIMxFrcqU/w-d-xo.html
On their song, Break The Wall, they sound like Slayer. They don't have a bad song and there are over 50 of them.
Miyako has been studying classical piano since she was 3 and taught herself how to play the guitar in high school. Look for the song, Swan Song, but make sure it has the Chopin into to hear her playing on the piano. And an interesting little fact about her, she like to go fishing on her down time.
Asami had not listened to heavy metal before joining Lovebites, she is an R&B signer, even studied in the US for a couple years. She also studied Ballet and you can see that in her movements on stage.
Fami joined Lovebites in 2022 and she has her own TH-cam page (over 600K Subscribers) and has some amazing vids of her playing bass from back in high school. You should check this one out: th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
Midori (blond guitarist) started going to the gym during covid and fell in love with it and now competes in amateur bodybuilding/fitness competition in Japan.
Haruna makes earrings as a hobby and sells them to.
Some other Japanese bands for you to check out (besides Babymetal (who are cool btw)):
Nemophila - Dissension Them and Lovebites are the best all female metal bands in Japan.
Hanabie (ha-na-be-eh) - We Love sweets You haven't lived until you have young Japanese ladies scream at you about how much they love pastries.
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Yoshu Fukushu They are VERY influential in Japan. Hanabie started as a MTH cover band in high school. They are called the System Of A Down of Japan. But that is an unfair comparison, for S.O.A.D. Their music is pure chaos, multiple time, key and even genre changes in the same song. Just sit down, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Band Maid - Real Existence These ladies are more Hard Rock than metal but they are amazing. Band Maids drummer, Akane Hirose, didn't know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao from MTH play. And now she is one of Jimmy Page's favorite drummers.
Unlucky Morpheus - CADAVER/REVADAC They play the sing CADAVER, then they play it backward note for note, REVADAC. Btw, they have a heavy metal violinist who also does Van Halen and Steve Vai covers.
And if you want to take a trip to India, yes, India has metal bands. Check out the folk metal band Bloodywood and their song Aaj(today) Don't worry, they sing in Hindi and English.
Welcome to the Wolfpack. They are named after a song, but it's not Judas Priest. Named after the Grammy winning song Love Bites (So Do I) by Halestorm. Lead singer Asami has joined Lzzy and Halestorm , at Download 2019, to perform that song. Miyako and Midori (blond pony tail) are IMO 2 of the best guitarists today. Haruna is a beast on drums. Here you see new bassist Fami, she joined in Oct 2022. Original bassist , and band co-founder, Miho, left in 2021.
Formed in 2016, they have 4 full albums , and 60+ songs , to date. Holy War is from the 3rd album, Electric Pentagram from 2020, singular, the Megadeth song is plural. Midori plays ESP, Miyako is playing Gibson here, but plays Dean often. The piano you mentioned, is not for show. Miyako is a classically trained pianist, concert level ability, a pianist first, picked up guitar at a much later age. All are between 4'9" and 5'2". They consider themselves heavy metal. Some songs lean towards power metal. some towards thrash, and some ballads. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Helloween are some of their influences.
This Knockin' At Heaven's Gate concert was their first in 2 years (hiatus due to world shutdown and search for new bassist), in spring 2023, Fami's live debut on bass. She fits right in.
To see Miyako's piano ability, try Swan Song at the Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 concert. It was played here in 2023, but the Chopin piano intro is not included in the posted video. Also from the 2020 show: Thunder Vengeance and Break the Wall. More from this2023 concert: Judgement Day, Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down), and Hammer of Wrath.
Thank you, my friend! I'm not at all familiar with Halestorm so, seeing that they do cover Painkiller, I assumed that the name came from the JP song. I can't wait to check out their full catalogue live and studio. Phenomenal band! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill LOVEBITES are awesome.🤘🤘. Definitely check out Halestorm too. American rock band from Red Lion, Pa. Lzzy Hale is a badass. Try I Am the Fire, I Miss The Misery, Back From the Dead, or the aforementioned Love Bites (So Do I) to start.
By the way, the Megadeth song is called „Holy Wars“, not „Holy War“.
You just found your new favorite band. Wolfpack united for LOVEBITES! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼
I'm sure others would have already pointed this out, but just in case they haven't ...
1.) LOVEBITES are named after the Halestorm song "Love Bites (and So Do I)"
2.) This song is called "Holy War", while the Megadeth song is called "Holy Wars"
3.) They have only done about three covers in total - all their songs on their albums are originals.
Thank you! 🤘❤️🤘
haaaahahaha now that was fun...hmmm new reactor -killers shirt ,prince symbol in the back -off to a good start and then some halfbaked infos about some band that does some covers ooooh this is gonna be fun ...the rest is as usual LOVEBITES does LOVEBITES stuff and the jaw hits the floor - now welcome to the world of the wolfpack and be prepared to completely fall in love with this band ...tons of amazing stuff where that came from and your jaw will continue to drop and your brain might melt a little!!!!
I hope my brain doesn't melt any more than it already is. I only have like a dozen brain cells left 😁. But, you see I learned a lot from these comments so I'm sure I'll be blown away but at least I know what's going on! Thanks for the welcome! 🤘🐺🤘
my favorite maiden shirt which i own and lovebites my favorite band taking the torch from maiden and running with it!!!
Dude, 'running' with it made me want to do some wordplay with Run to The Hills and Running Free, but I couldn't think of anything 🤣
Lovebites is the next Iron Maiden. I said it the day I discovered them.
If LOVEBITES were around in the mid to late 1980s, they would have been the biggest metal band on the planet. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest would have been opening for them.
@@1970Phoenix TRUTH!
That piano is on their stage for a very good and surprising reason which you will soon find out if you go down the Lovebites rabbit hole.😊
LOVEBITES. They are listened not only by metalheads. Ladies came out of their metal genre and have wider spectrum of fans.
They play ECLECTIC METAL. It means they blend as the first band in history all kind of metal mainly power and thrash with NWOBHM, heavy metal, symphonic metal, speed metal, hard rock, rock, rock'n'roll, progressive pieces and even punk. They mix all with classical music using operatic, A&B and gospel skills of vocalist and grand piano and Spanish guitar skills playing. Sometimes they use typical Japanese melodic lines which are included in ENKAs_ melancholy ballads singing by Japanese women. Only their can do it. Obviously they draw a lot from British, German and American metal.

Stay safe. Stay Lovebites.
Thank you for the warm welcome! And I welcome The Wolfpack! I appreciate all the links and recommendations, I really do. There will be lots of LOVEBITES on my show, I can assure you, my friend! 🤘🐺🤘
LOVEBITES named themselves after the song 'Love Bites (So Do I)' by the band HALESTORM. Not JUDAS PRIEST, DEF LEPPARD, etc. LOVEBITES was on friendly terms with HALESTORM and performed as an opening act for HALESTORM.
'Holy Wars…The Punishment Due' - song MEGADETH
'Holy War' - song of LOVEBITES.
LOVEBITES is not a cover band. The ladies have composed and released 58 original songs and musical compositions.
I didn't think they were a cover band, only that they did covers. I am not at all familiar with Halestorm so there is no way I could know they have a song with (almost) the same title. JP's Love Bites predates all the rest and as a Priest fan, I made an assumption. And yes, one consonant difference between Megadeth and LOVEBITES 😁. Every time I start a new rabbit hole, I make many mistakes and then here, with the fans of the band helping me through I become fully armed for the second one. And there will be a second one and so on! Thank you for the info, my friend!
@@BemusingBill All Ok. 👍The WolfPack will tell you everything and help you navigate the World of LOVEBITES.
Thank you for such great info! My list of LOVEBITES continues to grow! Perfect!! Much more LOVEBITES on it's way! 🤘❤️🤘
Lovebites is:
- Miyako "The golden touch" (Guitar/Piano)
- Midori "Crazy shredder" (Guitar)
- Asami "The one and only voice" (Vocals)
- Fami "Shining Fingers" (Bass)
- Haruna "Little big engine" (Drums)
Thank you! I've noted all of that so expect me too use that the next time 🤘❤️🤘
Thank you for reacting to Metal Goddesses Lovebites.. They are perfection.. Great reaction..you will be amazed at each Lovebites performance/song/ skill level off the charts... Not a band on the planet that sounds better live..
They're awesome! Can't wait for more! 🤘❤️🤘
First reactions are always so fun! 😀 Glad to see your happiness! Personally I like the older live mix much more than this. The guitar solos are much clearer. Go check it out! All I heard from this bluray/DVD has the same problem. Older ones are pure fantastic
Good to know! Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
I agree. This older version has better sound th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
this band has no peer! they do not know how to write bad, stale or mediocre songs. and their performances are already legendary. you won´t find a band, which can bring so much joy, fun, energy, power and talent to the stage than these ladies. stick with them, it´s totally worth it. and be aware, that the wolfpack will invade your channel. my suggestion for the next one : "we the united" live tokyo 2023 from their official channel.
welcome to the world of Lovebites the world of beautiful ballads, heavy, power, speed, thrash metal.
🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻

Awesome! Thank you for the info. I take notes on all the info you and the other fans have given me so next time i will be armed with knowledge!! Thank you so much, my friend! Much more LOVEBITES to come 🤘❤️🤘
Best metal band to come along in decades. Elite musicians. Midori & Miyako are among the best dual guitarists I've seen in 5 decades. Dive deeper, they just get more impressive. The Japanese metal/rock scene is currently the best in the world IMO.
I am so psyched for more! 🤘🐺🤘
Just the small tip of the big iceberg!! Lovebites rules!
Great reaction. You are in an Iron Maiden shirt. They wrote a tribute to Aces High which is titled as The Crusade th-cam.com/video/0guewPdnrKQ/w-d-xo.html. If you like a serious headbanger, try Break The Wall th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html. This is an old version but I like it. These two videos are performed with the former bassist/the band founder Miho who left the band in Aug. 2021 for her personal reasons, and she is playing with another band now. The dark haired guitarist on Gibson is Miyako who actually is Dean guitar ambassador in Japan.
Now you tipped your toe... oh boy. "Best New Band: Lovebites." - Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards 2018. Japanese metal is a rabbit hole that will surprise you. I'd say the best metal today comes from Japan. Lovebites is one of the biggest ones but I'd add at least Nemophila and Hanabie. This song was from Lovebites power metal side, but they also do trash metal. I'd continue with Hammer of Wrath Official Live Video from Knockin' At Heaven's Gate, which happens to be my favorite from Lovebites. For next new band I'd recommend Nemophila - Revive. That's one step heavier than this.
0:26 in, two corrections: LOVEBITES is named after "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm, although their music is pretty close to bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc. Second, they have 3 covers, they could probably cover anything, but they write all their stuff by themselves. They now have 4 full albums and 3 EPs (more is in the works) from 2017 to 2023 with 55 own songs and some instrumentals. All of them are worth mentioning, there's not a single song, that is not fantastic! BTW: Thanks, that you wrote "Holy War" in the title, this is also not a cover of "Holy Wars" (Megadeth)!
Thank you for the corrections. This is typical when I start down a rabbit hole. Then you guys, the fans, teach me about the band and the going forward, I'll be in the know. Funny, I wanted to react to Painkiller first, but I saw Holy War and just being 'reactionary' I clicked on it and ran. This is what happens to the brain when we get old and have been rocked by decades of metal music 😁
@@BemusingBill I doubt, that you can find anyone else, who does this lists for over 300 reactor channels, but I get what you mean! "Painkiller" was a bonus track, there's no live version, but the audio version is really the best cover of this song out there!
try SHADOWMAKER next a live version and a newer version!!!
That is a Gibson Futura '57 guitar
I believe, it´s a 1957 Futura Korina Reissue from 1996, also already very rare.
It's a beauty!
@CaffeineNightOwl Gibson reissued the Futura from 1996-2008 so there are some out there. They usually run from $4-5k, also Miyako's is not Korina, it's Mahogany, her 58 reissue V is Korina
They name the band after the hailstorm song love bites so do I
このバンドを今まで知らないなんておかしいよ。
ほんとは前から知ってたんでしょ？😁
No, never heard of them until I discovered BABYMETAL. That opened the door on Japanese metal. Before BABYMETAL, the only band from Japan I knew of was Loudness.
@@BemusingBill 😵Oh, sorry🙏please try other Japanese girl metal band "Nemophila" or hard rock band "Band-maid". I'm sure you'll love it. Their skills are also greatほんとうにすみませんでした🙏
PS: Nemophila's guitarist Saki is a fan of Loudness's NoBoru takasaki and her technique is top notch
Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴
🤘🐺🤘Me too!
Welcome to the Wolfpack uncle Bill. This is a rabbit hole worthy of exploring. These ladies have set the new bar for power metal bands . If you ask any fan of there’s what is your favorite Lovebites song the answer is always the same, it’s the last song you listened to. Can’t wait to see more of these amazing ladies blow your mind. Just subbed !
Lovebites got their name from their idol band Halestorm. Not from Judas Priest
Seriously one of the best bands on the planet. I love them so much.
They’re the queens of metal yet
heavy metal aerial love love lovebites !!
Looks like we have another reactor bitten by the white wolves of LOVEBITES!! You will soon realize how lucky you were to discover them today. Phenomenal band. Lovebites already won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band. Their most recent album hit #1 in 8 different countries the day it was released, and they will be embarking on a world tour this year. They have done just a few covers, but they have almost 60 original songs, so they aren't a cover band. All their songs are amazing and mind blowing. Next up - Judgement Day live. th-cam.com/video/yYEUGlFNBKc/w-d-xo.html
Love the band! Thanks for the link! 🤘🐺🤘
The music of LOVEBITES is based on the heavy metal of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
In 2018, LOVEBITES was recognized as the "Best New Band" in the world of heavy music. They received the GOLDEN GODS Award from the reputable Metal Hammer (June 2018, London, UK). The third Album of LOVEBITES entered the "Top 20 Best Metal Albums of 2020" by Metal Hammer. The fourth Album of LOVEBITES became #15 in the list of "Best Metal Albums of 2023" Metal Hammer.
This is a phenomenal band. If you love thrash, speed, progressive, power, neoclassical metal, then I advise you to start your journey into the World of LOVEBITES.
My friend, that journey has officially started! Thank you for the info! I count on you guys to bring me up to date on the band, their bio, accomplishments, etc. Thank you for the help. 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Thank you! An exciting journey awaits you!🤘😊
@@GrayFox14 I'm replying you here because I can't seem to reply your replies under my comments, not sure why. Note that the troll we all know of has not gone away, he has a new tactic which is to slowly and quietly infiltrate the Wolfpack with some "new" trolling accounts. Not exactly new, but older accounts he has created between around 2020-2022 (some might even be older). So far, these accounts have only posted 1 or 2 "positive comments" each, but I'm quite sure they're designed eventually to sow discord WITHIN the Wolfpack community. So keep alert.
@@boyzyu Thanks for the warning. Most likely, your answers (like mine) are blocked due to complaints organized by the troll from his numerous fake accounts. Due to troll complaints, many comments that contain useful information about LOVEBITES are also blocked. The troll has already sowed discord. True fans began to suspect newcomers, especially those who had recently registered. I know several such cases. Moreover, because of the troll, the comments of these newcomers also began to be blocked.
@@GrayFox14 Yep, it's important to note that not all newcomers are troll accounts, only some are. Having said that, it's always good to be skeptical so that we all remain alert. As long as the comments stay positive, we can just let them be. However, watch out for some of these possible trolling accounts when they SUBTLY try to turn one Wolfpack member against another. This is when we step in.

This is an overview of LOVEBITES 55 self-written songs and 3 covers (plus 6+1 covers by band members) with your reaction marked with a star (*).
All these songs are great, they have no bad, weak or meh songs, and no fillers at all. Every song is special, you could randomly select a song, best life, of course, and LOVEBITES won't disappoint you. They play many different Heavy Metal styles with a certain LOVEBITES sound, they revive the masters of the 80's (and 90's) in a fresh and modern way. LOVEBITES may have the most talented musicians around, all of them S tier. Drummer Haruna is relentless like a metronome, both Miho and Fami master their bass (for Fami's capabilities, you should visit "Alien Alien" from my list, it's in her TH-cam channel will almost 700K subscribers), the dual guitars M&M (for Midori and Miyako) is most certainly the best duo for trading guitar solos and harmonizing, and Asami's voice is stellar with big range, powerful belt and good vibrato. She is also a trained ballerina with exceptional stage presence. One reactor caller her "Stage General", which is perfectly put. Hard, tight, fast, relentless, effortless and clean, that's LOVEBITES. Fasten your seat belt and enjoy your ride!
Best metal nowadays ! Listen "Brak the wall" !!!
Thank you! 🤘❤️🤘
Best version of Break the Wall live by LOVEBITES - th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html@@BemusingBill
"Break The Wall"
In my opinion, "Break the Wall" is the best thrash song ever written, better than anything from Slayer, Anthrax, Testament or any other thrash band. It's an incredible song without the "Gary Moore" solo, but with it, it climbs to the top of the heap. th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html
I would agree because I never cared for any of those bands you mentioned. But Break The Wall is a top five Lovebites song for me. @@1970Phoenix
Welcome my friend to Lovebites, arguably the best heavy metal band on the planet right now, these ladies are sublimely talented, their song writing skills, musicianship & live shows are not to be missed.The Wolfpack 🐺 will guide you through the forest of Lovebites music enjoy your journey
Regards Wolfpack 🐺 UK 🤘🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶🔥🤯🤘
Congratulations, you just watched the most talented band on earth!! And an added bonus; you got to see the GREAT MIYAKO play a Gibson...
Yes, AND a very rare Gibson at that AND she smoked on that guitar!! 🤘🐺🤘
The only covers I know from Lovebites are : Love bites (so do I) by Halestorm (this is how they got their name), Eagle Fly Free by Helloween and Painkiller by Judas Priest (my fav and sounds cleaner than the original)
Well technically there is one more: "Ballade No.1 In G minor, Op.23" by Miyako, and it's on Lovebites Knockin’ At Heaven’s Gate DVD. It's my personal favorite just because I will bet my life that is an experience that you do not get with any other metal band. Only Lovebites is able to deliver that.
@@KaiMarcad Doesn't fall into "cover" category since it was published as sheet music initially.
@@asicdathens Yeah I guess you are right.
During their very first ever performance as a band they played other covers but there is no recording or video of it. 2016-08-04 - Japan (Secret Show) - Unknown Location
Setlist: Headhunter (Krokus) - Heavy Metal Thunder (Saxon) - Creeping Death (Metallica) - Overkill (Motörhead) - Battery (Metallica)

Thank you for the names and their heights. 🤘🐺🤘
@@BemusingBill You are welcome
🐺 dreg👁
Miyako and Midori on guitar are polar opposites in many ways. Maybe why they go together as well? Miyako is a true nerd in many sense. Likes building up a sound literally. She has built a guitar. Her main guitar for years has been the Dean Icon, which she had to tweak with new PUs. Which isnt her only Dean: the ML and her own Dean Signature V. During the your we will also see this rare Gibson Futura, a Les Paul, Fender telecaster and a strat. The pedal board and amps are put together carefully.
Midori is quite different, doing well with her ESP Horizon and Kemper pedal board.
Thank you for the info, friend. As a guitar nerd, I love both those guitars. That Futura is very rare. I've only seen it in pictures or books on Gibson. Great to see it still on the road! They are both phenomenal guitarists!🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBillMidori is an extrovert while Miyako is an introvert. Midori makes guitar faces and tries to get the crowd going. Miyako will remain cool and focused and rarely show any emotion. It doesn't mean she is bored or disinterested.
Lovebites = 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
🤘🐺🤘
What a great genuine reaction. Wel done, sir! Lovebites, Nemophila, Babymetal, Hanabie, Maximum the Hormone, they're all legit. Japan's metal scene is on fire right now. 🔥
ここにいました
最高！
Welcome world of the 5 SAMURAI and WOLFPACK FAMILY,🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Thank you for the welcome! Since I'm partial to wolves, you and the pack are very welcome on my show. More LOVEBITES to come! 🤘🐺🤘
@@BemusingBillFYI the reason we are called the wolf pack is because Lovebites has a wolf on the cover of every album. They are sometimes called the white wolves because of how they dress.
Agree, re: Japanese guitars. Of my five electrics, only one (a nice Les Paul Standard) is NOT Japanese: ESP, Infinite, G-Life, and Kino Factory. All simply world class.
And speaking of world class...Lovebites are one of the very best metal bands in the world. And they're far from alone in that accolade in the J-metal scene. Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus, Galneryus, Hanabie., Ningen Isu, Asterism, Crystal Lake...and I'm just scratching the surface (and leaving out hard rock...).
That piano on stage is not just decorating .. you'll find out in the future reactions. Enjoy the road; Japanese bands, and especially all female bands, are on a whole new level.
Welcome to the world of Lovebites. Be prepared to go down a rabbit hole that you will not want to come out of. In my humble opinion, they are the gold standard of metal today. I could go on all day about how great they are but I'll let their music do the talking.
I'm not really into the Japanese music scene, it's not my style but Lovebites is hands down the best metal band I've heard in a real long time and I don't think anyone will surpass them anytime soon. Band-Maid is pretty f'ing awesome too for a hard rock band.
Pls react to Swan song,Judgement day, Shadowmaker,When destinies align and Glory to the world by them.
You got it! 🤘❤️🤘
❣ GO-LOVEBITES-GO ❣
❣🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘❣
All (nearly) their songs are sung in English.
They are named for the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I)," not the Judas Priest song (though they do have a cover of Priest's Painkiller).
All of Lovebites songs are sung in English. There are lots of all female Japanese bands to have yet to discover. Bands like Nemophila, Hanabie, Band-Maid, Trident and so many more.
Please more lovebites!
I can and will guarantee that there will be much more LOVEBITES! Pinky promise ❤️ 🤘🐺🤘
Welcome to the 8th Wonder of the World.

Hammer of Wrath
Nameless Warrior
Judgement Day
Liar
Swan Song
Stand and Deliver
M.D.O
We the United
Another great concert with the original bass player, Miho, is 2020 Five of a Kind.
Great intro song with Thunder Vengeance along with 18 other GREAT songs!!!!
Welcome to a whole new world of Lovebites!!!!
P.S. They do play Painkiller by Judas Priest. There is just an audio version video, but they do one hell of a job with the song. If it was just an instrumental, you would not be able to tell the difference.
LOVEBITES next live songs Judgement Day, The Hammer Of Wrath, Break The Wall, Set The World On Fire, When Destinies Align, Shadow Maker, Stand And Deliver, cover song Pain Killer(Judas Priest)..

MAXIMUM THE HORMON(female drummer) songs Prey, Alien, Koi No Sperm....
Thank you my friend! I've added them to my list. I think the next band may be Band Maid. 🤘❤️🤘
Band Maid is a great band. They sing in Japanese and play rock music. Different genre than Lovebites. Kanami their lead guitar player is on par with Midori and Miyako. @@BemusingBill
LOVEBITES doesn’t do a lot of covers, they did only a cover of “Eagle Fly Free” from Halloween and a cover of Judas Priest, “Painkiller”
and a cover of love bites (so do I) from halestorm
Not familiar with the Helloween one (yet), but of course Painkiller which is a pretty intense song. Can't wait to check them both out! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Best Painkiller cover ever!
Painkiller cover - you'll swear it is Tipton and Downing playing but it is Midori and Miyako - th-cam.com/video/QQu9PQmmHKI/w-d-xo.html@@BemusingBill
Musically, the LOVEBITES cover of "Painkiller" is better than the original, although to be fair, this is probably mostly due to the superior sound equipment available these days. But in terms of musicianship, Miyako and Midori are at least as good (and probably better) than Tipton and Downing.
🤘
🤘🐺🤘
Welcomed to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites. These women are extremely talented, skillful, versatile and exceptional musicians. Their main influences are Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Angra, Dragonforce, Helloween, Yngwie Malmsteen, Deep Purple, Gary Moore, but they have been developing their unique style. Their live performances are just outstanding. My next recommendations are “Judgement Day”, “The hammer of wrath”, “Set the world on fire”, “Breaking the wall” (all live)
Thank you for the warm welcome! With influencers like that, there is no doubt they will kick ass! I really appreciate the recommendations as it helps with the next sing choice. Much more to come, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
Always a pleasure to see someone's wow moment when they discover LOVEBITES. (Plenty more from where that came from). Looks like you've already got plenty of band info in the comments. They are an enigma with their gold and white formalities contrasting with the heavy metal. Love it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just FYI Bill. Lovebites named after Halstorm's song Love Bites (And so Do I), not the Judas Priest or Def Leppard song. This is an original song. Megadeth's song is Holy WarS (the Punishment Due). Most of Lovebites songs are originals with just a few cover songs. I love when people come in with preconceived notions, only to have them shattered. "they don't look metal" lmao.
I recommend for Lovebites songs -
Shadowmaker (Music Video)
The Hammer of Wrath (Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate)
Set The World On Fire [Live from "Ride For Vengeance Tour 2021"]
A Frozen Serenade 2021 LIVE in Tokyo with lyrics
Thunder Vengeance [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]
Glory to the World (Music Video)
Stand and Deliver (Music Video)
Goddesses heavy metal band 🤘🐺🔥
Name came from Halestorm, not Judas Priest. And of course now you know this isn’t a cover at all… Lovebites probably the best heavy metal band on the planet right now 🐺🎸🤘
When I noticed they do Painkiller I just assumed along the same lines of the Priest song Love Bites. I'm not at all familiar with Halestorm. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill yep, that Painkiller cover was basically the only cover I remember them ever doing and they crushed it! Lovebites has a deep and varied catalog of original material - everything from Testament/Slayer-esq thrash, through Dragon Force power metal, and just straightup Judas Priest/Iron Maiden heavy metal. They have some exceptional symphonic/progressive metal tracks also! So much to discover! 🤘🎸🐺
They did Eagle Fly Free from Helloween, and they also did Halestorm's Love Bites.@@GarageYears
Oh, silly me - of course they did Eagle... but I don't think I've seen the full band do Love Bites??? I saw Asami when she did the song with Halestorm at Download... if there's a link... 🙂?@@ChadTheDragonLord
There is no video of it. There is an audio recording of it on disc 2 of their Invitation to the Theater - Live in Tokyo 2019 concert.@@GarageYears
Fami Fami Fami!
Miyako, the guitarist playing that funky Gibson, is classically trained pianist who didn't start playing guitar until she was almost 19, and she's self taught off a how-to manual. Of course she alrady had a pretty good knowledge of theory and had geeat hand coordination from piano, but she never took formal lessons, basically learning by picking up songs by ear. The 1st metal song she ever learned by ear was "Master Of Puppets" (I remember being pumped when i figured out "Iron Man" lol) and she aslo was a big fan of Gary Moore, Dimebag and Paul Gilbert (you can here these influences in a lot of Lovebites' material, over 40 originals, all unique with non average). Her playing and writing ranges from thrash, symphonic metal, bluesy and sometimes a little elements of funk, but it all works. She plays a lot of different brand guitars, but she's officially endorsed by Dean and plays mostly a custom Dimebag shape, custom Flying V, and custom PRS style Deans. Miyako also can play bass (slap) and drums along with guitar and piano, and has fast become one of my favorite overall songwriter musicians (for reference my all time GOAT is Prince). She's a phenomenal talent.The whole band is full of elite musicians and their catalog is well worth diving into.
I see you have an Iron Maiden shirt on. The lead singer has been described as a female Bruce Dickinson. I think that is mostly due to the amount of vibrato in her voice.
I get that. And, I think they way she holds herself on stage and gets the crowd into like Bruce is famous for.
🐺🤘
🤘🐺🤘
Hello I’m from japan．Thank you for your great reaction!
There are many fantastic bands in japan from 70’s．
But many bands had big weak point.
It was "singer".
However、 you can find many great japanese vocalists、nowadays.
Especially、Asami the vocalist is another level.
Finally、you discover ultimate heavy metal band.Please enjoy、fantastic LOVEBITES world、much much more.
Domo arigato! Much more LOVEBITES to come your way. Also, I will be doing Band Maid's newest one very soon, too. 🤘🐺🤘
Somehow, Zeus from Greek mythology sent the goddesses of Olympus to this world in the form of beautiful Japanese women. They were given instruments and voices that thunder. Their mission has only just begun. I can't take my eyes off them. ✨🥰🤘
Makes total sense to me! 😁Amazing talent and beauty in one place! 🤘🐺🤘
Oh, Bill, you don't know what you have started here... - subbed, btw. The dual guitar attack is a trademark of Lovebites, a solo each and synchronous soloing is their modi operandi for most songs.
Checked your catalogue and you need to dig deeper in the Japanese rabbit hole 😉 though with ningen Isu, you are off to a good start.
Babymetal is not all there is - not by a mile. Band-Maid and Babymetal are normally the regulars for a introduction to the Japanese rabbit hole. Female metal is a big big thing in Japan! and you will love it... Eventually, you will end up at Lovebites - again - a band of immense talent and capabilities.

My friend, I can't thank you enough for all of the info and the links! There shall be much more of Lovebites and Japanese metal coming soon!
"Maximum the Hormone" needs to be added to that list. They are HUGE in Japan.
@@1970Phoenix Absolutely! Max to the rescue, my miss your suggestion
@@BemusingBill You are so most welcom. Bought my first Ibanez back in '83 so 40 years plus as yours 😊
I see you like iron maiden, you should check out the crusade from lovebites
I sure will! 🤘🐺🤘
@@BemusingBill they pay hommage to aces high in this song. One of my favorites from iron maiden. If you more a thrash guy check out hammer of wrath(heavens gate version) or break the wall were the last one is a combination of slayer and gary moore. I discovered lovebites duo another reaction channel 2 years back and became my favorite band since their main influences are 80/90 metal🤘
@@Roy19861 This is a serious question. I see a lot of people spell "thrash" as "trash" when referring to thrash metal. I see it so often, it can't just be a typos every time. If you wouldn't mind, could you please explain to me why you call it "trash" rather than "thrash".
@@1970Phoenix just autocorrect from my phone because I use swipe to type. I'll correct it right away.
Because the TH sound is not in other languages. I correct them all the time. But they may be using speech to text and don't bother to spell check. @@1970Phoenix
😁
Lovebites is one of the rare Japanese bands who sing all of their songs in English.
Swan Song live , not the new one but ......2020 version with Chopin intro by Miyako . A must see !
