The Warning brought me here in 2024. They’ll be playing with Bandmaid in Tokyo this June!!!
Check out the live video of Hate? they recently posted. Its badass.
Same as you warning brought me here ❤
Yes, I'm here after watching Kate, Great Music.
Do check out their song “Blooming” as well. It was used in the car chase scene. And if these 2 songs tickle your fancy… they have over 100 other great tracks for you to enjoy.

I heard two Band Maid songs in Kate. Warning goes hard AF!! These ladies rock so hard!!! Ashame that there isn’t a group like this here in the states but I’ll watch these beautiful women shred all day.
Same, I watched the movie yesterday and here I am, looking the soundtrack
@@weilima9316 Fax.
There aren't many songs I dislike from Band-Maid. Mostly from their album where they experimented with a bit more soft/pop rhythms. It wasn't terrible technically, just not what I crave from the sound with Band-Maid.
During one of the trailers for Kate I saw Band-Maid playing in that bar and I watched basically because of that. The movie itself wasn't too bad. I was really happy/proud that Band-Maid is starting to get that mainstream US exposure (I know they've done some tours here in the states).
Was *VERY PLEASED* it was Band-Maid and not BabyMetal.
My subscriber sent me here and I was pleasantly surprised that they are actually good. I can actually listen to this and enjoy. Totally different from the usual 'idol music' in Japan.
They have some idol roots, but it's just a band Yuta. You're liable to get kicked in the face by crowd surfers at their shows. So I prefer the livehouse style cuz it's more enjoyable rocking out with a little bit of personal space.
If you want to take from actual idols... then Predia, who have done work with BAND-MAID members before (もちとちーず`) and Babyraids Japan are a good place to start, since they both have strong lead singers.
Glad you're here Yuta. Even nicer that you enjoyed this.
That Japanese Man Yuta the only idol about this band is that one of the members is a former idol, as far as music goes they are just classic rock band that will rock your ears yuta
Well, technically they have lots of idol connections. But the sound, and their lives are indeed just rock... well, plus a little bit of pigeon talk.
ah Yuta good to see you here
surprised that you're surprised! there are many great non-idol "girl" bands
my own fave will always be SCANDAL

btw music is a cool tool to learn new languages..
Несколько лет назад мне выдало, в рекомендациях, эту группу. Ссылки на нее скинул кому только можно. Это была революция мозга. Так красиво и необычно. Эта группа- украшение Ютуба.
Peacemaker brougt me here and it's amazing
Be sure to check out their other songs, equally amazing. And check out their lives, recommended, Domination(Live) and Onset(Live).
They only have 41 videos on TH-cam but they actually have over 110 songs, most of which deserve their own MVs if the world was fair and they had a bigger budget.
Me too
Same here, when judo master was listening to that song it gave me nostalgia.

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG...
Give it a try to their whole catalog! Fans’ favorites are Dice, Different, After Life, Domination (live), Onset (live).
Listen to blooming, glory, don't you tell me, and don't let me down
Welcome to the world of Band Maid--great song suggestions already! Also for a relentless rocker I suggest "the non-fiction days and for sheer sublime beauty "Daydreaming". It is exquisite in all ways.
何となく、いいバンド無いかなとテキトーにTH-cam流してたら、この曲に出会いました
それと同時に、BAND MAIDが好きになりました
この曲は毎日聴いても飽きないし、カラオケ言ったら必ず歌います
そして、そんな素敵な曲を先日の横浜アリーナで様々なサービスを入れて２回もやってくれて、最高でした
語彙力無くて最高しか言えない自分が悔しい😭
泣くな‼︎ 君 最高だ‼︎
最高だ！！

Whoever came up with Peacemaker OST was a genius. This is awesome
James Gunn himself! He's a huge music fan, lots of his old works helped bands to get more fans.
I wonder did he chose to put this one song in
James Gunn himself
@@JohnYakooza most likely, cause i knew one niche band from Malaysia where I'm from and he somehow gets their songs played on his movie Super ,so im sure he's fairly knowledgeable in music.
This is not a OST man they just picked this song...
今この曲が一番お気に入り。ビートルズをしっかり聴いた70歳です(#^.^#)また目覚めました汗
私は65ですが、6歳上の姉がいて、小学生のとき姉の部屋から漏れてくるBeatlesを耳をそばだてて聴いていました。おかげで中高は洋楽一辺倒でした。
monalisa twinsをご存知ですか？Beatlesをたくさんカバーしています。私は彼女らのif I fellが大好きです。
もちろん、モナリザしってます。ドライブマイカー、恋のアドバイスが彼女らの中で特に好きです(#^.^#)
ちなみに、高校の時、サージェントペッパーで一度ビートルズを挫折しました。大人になってから聴きなおしました(笑)
確かに姉もサージェントペパーズのレコードは持っておらず私が買うことになりました。周りの連中もすんなり聴いていましたので、思いのほか世代ギャップがあるのかもしれませんね。まあそれでも今やお互いにbandmaidのとりこですから。面白いですよね。
正直この年で、彼女らに入れあげていること、恥ずかしかったのですが、きっと、ビートルズの初期に彼らに夢中になった頃の情熱がまだかすかに残っていたのでしょう。ですから、バンメで燃え尽きるでのでしょうね。きっと、彼女らのために、その思いが残されていたのでしょう。自分でもびっくりです(#^.^#)ロックは永遠です(笑)
ついに１０００万！ おめでとー！
私は２００回くらいは見ています。
I here from Kate movie. This is awesome Band 🔥
New fans here 🇮🇩 🤘😎🤘
Kate bring me here . Muchlove this song ♥️
While this is an amazing song they have many others. You should definitely check out their live videos. Domination is probably the best intro song. Have fun!
welcome to bandmaid ❤️🎉✨
I AM OBSESSED
That's completely normal.
Yes, we are!
OBESSED IZ AN "UNDERSTATEMENT"!!!!!!!😋🤩👍✌💪💪💪
Dude, that drum fill at 0:52. The technique on Akane at such a young age.
Peacemaker brought me here ain’t going to lie. This is one of the best rock songs I’ve heard in a long ass time. Going to explore more of their music 🙌
Good to hear!
Enjoy the ride!
Judo master brought me here
same feeling!
You're in for a treat,
This band has no bad song
かっこよすぎて鳥肌立ちましたわ。
すごいなこの子ら。
ガールズバンドとかで括れない。音で勝負しているバンド。
メイドの格好より音にインパクトがありますわ。胸熱。
Traduction svp 😑😑
一ヵ月前に何気にdifferentを聴いたのがきっかけで今やこのバンドにドハマり 全てのアルバムベビロテだしBAND-MAID以外殆ど聴いていない状態 こんな事初めてだな 今この曲が超お気に入り
ご互い消えない魔法にかかってしまったみたいですね＾＾
6年ぶりくらいに聞いたけどやっぱええ曲やね
メイドのインパクトが強すぎてすぐに見つけれた
I came here from watching Kate on Netflix, found the music really catchy.

Congratulations ladies!!!! Saiki, Miku, Akane, MISA, Kanami!!! 10 MILLION
Just brilliant. The song, perfomance, drive. Pure rock'n'roll.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this MV of Choose Me it always gives me chills! Band-Maid is just astounding in all ways! Akane's groove is totally rocking, but how she has it swinging like a superb jazz drummer always blows my mind. She is a MASTER! Misa Misa our badass barefoot assassin (my favorite bassist), Miku on killer rhythm guitar and Kanamincho burning it up with her incendiary, melodic lead playing, loved the outro lines too! Saiki is the icing on the cake--our formidable Goddess singing her heart out!
What a nice song to listen while driv
Judomaster have great teste🍹
Oh man I wish I didn't get crashed by a van and get beats in the head by a crowbar
he probably want truck-kun to hit him.
(Crash!)
Then get plowed by a van
Band Maid deserves to be recorded in the history of rock music just for writing this song.
I agree.
Agreed! And they have, literally, more than 100 songs just as good as this one.
HAHAHA!!! Simps.
Rejoice for this awesome Band. Thank you Kate.
今何気にこの動画見ててふと思ったんだけどホントに何気なのよね。気が付くとオートマチックにBand maidを"必ず"見てしまっている。当に中毒。
多分ワタシと同じ様な人達がいっぱいいるんだろうな。
仕事を終えて帰宅して、コーヒーを淹れてPCを起動。そこから夕食もそこそこに就寝時までBand-Maidのシャワーを浴びつづける。いつからこんな生活を始めたんだっけ。１年？いや、もう２年かぁ。飽きねぇ。やっぱりこれも中毒っすかね？
慢性Band Maid中毒症のようなのでプラチナム・パスポート病院に入院して頂きます、入院時の保証人はミク、歌波、茜、ミサ、彩姫の5人の中から選出して下さい(5人一緒がいいとか1人だけなんて嫌だとかのワガママは強制退院となります！ご注意下さいませ〜ご主人様)

I’m so happy their music was in Peacemaker!
I have been looking for this after that scene in peacemaker, seriously it was driving me nuts
They put the name of the song & artists in the subtitles, at least in HBO MAX.
James Gunn also has a Peacemaker playlist that he updates before every episode on Spotify
Same lol
Welcome to BAND-MAID paradise for those who came here to watch KATE. There are over 100 songs in their catalog, all of which are great songs ❦ The journey to find your favorite songs will surely bring you a wonderful experience ❦
They will never disappoint you, I swear ❥ Much love, from Japan ❥
Well said! Band-Maid are fantastic. I've not seen them live yet, due to Covid. Best wishes from England.
Which of theirs are ur fav songs?
There are no music videos or live videos on this official channel that I don't like, tbh. Among them, my favorite music videos are "Thrill", "Alone", Daydreaming "," Dice "," Bubble "," Blooming ", "Manners", "onset" and many many more ;)
These are my personal tastes, so please find your favorites on this channel too!
Drummer killed it 🔥
Came her from the Netflix movie Kate, and I absolutely loved this rock band throughout the movie! Awesome music. Love Japan.
Don't stop your bandmaid journey yet! They play more than just radio friendly / anime op-ed type songs.
Kanami Tōno.... amazing guitarist!
0:57このヘドバンしながらのドラムがたまらなく好き。元気出る笑
この曲にはボーカリストsaikiさんの魅力が詰まってますね
歌唱技術的にもっと難しいことをしてる曲は沢山ありますが、
Choose meの彼女は理屈を超えたカッコよさがあります
これまで何十年もハードもメタルもどんなアーティストも聴いてきてハマる事は無かったのに
BAND-MAIDだけはハマった 何だろねストレートな楽曲なのに次元の高いとこまで洗練されている
懐かしいとか聴いたことあるはずのロックなはずなのに 全くの別物のように胸に刺さりまくります
Exactly! You defined it very well. It’s the refinement and intricacy of delivery that makes them stick and keeps us coming back to hear the composition, in spite of the fact we’ve heard quite a lot of rock and metal.
祝 1000万回達成!!!!! さぁ、この勢いでREAL EXISTENCEに追いつけ追い越せ!!
To the Maidiacs:
Is anyone else enjoying the irony that, for such a great live band, with lots of people stuck at home clicking through the internet and with the release of the movie KATE, 2020/2021 may be BAND-MAID's biggest couple of years yet without them actually playing to a live audience?
Haha! True. Getting global recognition in the mainstream.
Band-Maid just kicks ass ,that's all there is to it 🎸🥁🤟
I'm not sure why TH-cam recommended this to me,
but for once TH-cam has made the right recommendation.
Hell Yeah! Welcome brother!
Welcome aboard!
got here by pure luck, I regret nothing
Same here
Agreed thank you youtube gods for dropping this bad ass gem of a band in my lap like it has never done ever!
Best workout song ever ☁️🤟🏼🏃🏻♀️
Why am I so late to this party? who forgot to tell me about these amazing artist’s
Band Maid won first prize in the category "It would be my favorite rock band if I knew of their existence"
Enjoy the catch up. It's been a great ride.
Thy are bloody awesome (just started getting into J-Rock etc). Can’t wait to hear more (been winding up thy guys at work with all the J-Rock
@@mikejones-kc5mi Welcome to the Pigeon hole!! Band-Maid doesn’t write a bad song. They are planning a US tour for later in 2022 (pandemic permitting ofc), so if you’re in the US you’ll probably have an opportunity to see them live. Have you checked out their live videos?
@@bobespirit2112 yeah I always check out a band’s live performances and I am blown away. Unfortunately not in the States. Will just have to go and see them when I eventually go on my Asia tour
このバンドが日本で認められるのはいつになるんですかね。
多分週間ダウンロードランキングで世界1位になっても話題に上がらないんでしょうね。

Amazing!!
Came here for this and blooming and stayed for their whole damn catalog lmao
That tends to happen… it’s now well past 100 tracks and almost sure to grow again this year.
LOL! I found them accidentally 4.5 years ago and I haven't left yet!

Cannot wait to attend my very first B-M gigs in the USA later this year
These young ladies have brought back the old rock sound that has sadly been missing for a long time, I think they are fantastic!!!!
i heard this from the movie "kate" last night and im glad i rly found it now

I'm here because of the movie Kate (2021) starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Miku Martineau, and Woody Harrelson (am not affiliated with the movie, btw). BAND-MAID appears as themselves in the movie (this is what they performed, albeit, just a portion). I wanted more!

Just discovered this band, amazing 2022 start.
Please keep listening to every song they have here on YT. I found them 10 months ago and by now I have all their albums and all their DVDs. Band-Maid are an amazing hardrock band, IMHO the best hard rock band since the 70s if not forever, they have become my favorite band of all times :-)
Strap in. You've got several years of material to work through. And they just get better and better through all that time.
Welcome Lau, enjoy their music!
Hey, welcome and check all their live performances, they are great ;)
10 Million Views, Congratulations to the best Hard Rock Band in the universe.
This song was in Kate, now Peacemaker - getting noticed! Love it.
ハハハ・・・、
何度聴いてもカッコイイ曲ですねぇー。
全然飽きねー！
何度でも聴けるわ。
A 5-string bass, stealth-shredder on lead guitar, a re-incarnated John Bonham in a dress - these are no amateurs folks.
Get sucked in by the cutesy outfits - be ready to get spit out by the raw power these women wield. I am so glad I found them.
I used to be disappointed that they're cursed with the stupid gimmick. But the more I listen to them, the less I see it. They're just amazing, more talent than I've seen in a long time.
Cannot WAIT to see them in LA in November :D
You lucky guy, athaz. Wish I could afford a trip to either one of the two gigs they're doing in Germany in November. Both are right after my birthday too!
@The tickets for the shows here weren't too bad, way cheaper than a lot of other concerts - a third the price of the current NIN tour going around.
What's costing me is airfare. I live literally across the country from the show.
@Jay Bee Dude, I feel the same way! There's good stuff on other albums, but this one is just a huge leap forward in comparison. And I really only knew Play and WD when I started, and I was really lackluster towards much of the rest the first couple listens. But each successive listen, I hear something I missed the last time, something new stands out somewhere, and I just got sucked completely into this whole album. Only one song I really don't love, but I can't think of the name at the moment
I know. They're awesome. Should come with an addiction warning. It's hard to stop listening to them.
The movie Kate on Netflix brought me here. Wow an all women rock band. Bad ass

Thanks Peacemaker for bring to me to this masterpiece, especially Judomaster
Welcome friend! Enjoy your trip down the "pidgeon" hole!
That band is a masterpiece, but this song is but one of their over 100 masterpieces.
KIAI!!!!! DING DONG BITCHES!!!!!
It's also featured in Netflix' movie "Kate" (they play it "live" on stage)
Came here because of Kate Movie. When Kate was looking for Ani these gals caught my attention. More power.
I can't believe her guitar skills.
They are a real deal. They can sing, play instruments, compose, write lyrics, arrange, produce and make us smile.
Me too :)
@@MrBooblo086 It might not sound very much, but for Kanami tone is everything. During the songs she is always doing her uppermost keeping thing fresh. She is not the typical superfast shredder, but a fantastic riff-master! Quite underrated IMO.

Welcome to the fandom 😁
Check out the Official Live version of Choose Me
This is a proper rock band. Best in decades.
I just clicked on one of their random videos. This is like the fourth or fifth one. Jesus christ, the amount of talent in one band. Was a fan on the first vid I watched.
I always know I'm a member of the correct church when my Savior is always mentioned by others in completely unrelated ways to their comment.
Saiki alone, one piano, this song. Perfection. She is a Star.
One of the biggest surprises from Yokohama.
It was Beautiful.

Her tiny hat is the best
Being a fellow drummer and knowing she's the "leader" of the band, just makes me like her so much more. She's been my favorite since the first video of theirs' I saw.
I agreee... Akane is amezing..😍👍👍👍
@@MyPhobo yup... Really cute..😍😍
She is a professional drummer, that's true but they are really not playing anything difficult for people at this level. While she is good, this song is not really showing off anything outstanding.
みんちょのギターがたまんなくてBAND-MAIDを好きになったけど、
最近、あかねのドラムスもたまらん。。。
いいバンドだと本当に思います。
kate brought me here, this is why i love japanese related movies because they use these gems as OST
Japanese girl bands rule, and Band-Maid is the best of them all. They really combine cuteness with the ferocity and speed of punk and the heavy melody lines and solos of the best metal.
Man, I think this one genuinely one of the hardest rocking bands on the circuit these days. They deserve all the recognition they get.
I love this band and their sound. They really rock.
This girl can sing!
Pretty funny that I stumbled upon this genre at 58, but this band is legit. I am looking forward to watching them live at some point. Its bound to be a great show.
Akane's drumming form is very beautiful.
毎日聴いても飽きず、寝る前だと「もう1曲」の繰り返しで寝れず。
AKANEのドラムとMISAのベースのリズム隊が素晴らしいから曲の良さが更に際立ち、小鳩のギターが上達するにつれ、KANAMIのギターにより大きな翼が与えられる。小鳩の紡ぎだした歌詞に乗せる、普段はクールなSAIKIの芯のあり感情溢れる歌声が全てをまとめている。
毎日、彼女たちの音楽に悶絶している４５歳のロックおやじです。
バンドの要になるドラムスとベースのこのリズムセクションが全体のバランスに影響を及ぼし、如何に大切なことか。グループの良し悪しがほぼ決まってしまいますね。ギター🎸プレイ•ヴォーカル共に最高 !
First song I heard of them two weeks ago. I don't know how many videos and reactions I've watched since. I don't even like hard rock, never have. Jazz, Funk, Disco and Electronica are my big loves. But this band, this gorgeous band... I have such respect for their musicianship. At first glance I was like... wow are they actually really playing this sound? And that drummer! I used to play drums myself. I've never seen anyone play like that. Graceful AND powerful + technically intriguing and very clean.
Nah, probably not. Has to be producer-music, right? Checked two more videos and was just as intrigued. Ok, let's see if they have live performances on here somewhere. Well you can imagine what happened then. I watched Freedom, the live version... Tears of joy! What a band...! They sound even better live! And they look like a group of friends having a blast playing and upending every stereotype of hard rock you can image while doing it. Toying with it, improving it. Akane's solo where she just lets loose, enters total bliss but remains in full control of every single beat. I repeat, I have never seen anyone play like this. That amazing transition. Then Kanami's solo who plays a damn sophisticated solo, equally with absolute ease. Misa's fascinating style of straight-ahead pick playing but adding so many musically interesting flourishes. Saiki and Miku's on point vocals, backing and wonderful presence. And what a fun song! I instantly turned into their newest fan. Started watching interviews, learned about Kobato-san (which explains everything) and how she formed the group. Learning about their personalities and their quirks, fascinated by this cool and humble group of wonderful humans. (I could hug each and every one of them.)
I believe this band could just as well play in different genres, like Jazz-Rock or Bossa Nova, lol. The three main instrumentalists certainly have it in them. It's clear that they have the musical background. But Rock 'n Roll is what Miku wanted to play and that's what they are playing. And they are doing it sooo well. Making it interesting and completely their own. That last rock band that I loved like this was The Police (one of he best drummers, although the guitarist was a really weak soloist). And now I love Band-Maid! I'm still not a fan of the hard rock sound but I love watching these women perform as a band. They are the future.
Thank you Band-Maid. For the joy you bring into this world. May you stay healthy, creative and free.
Same here. I don't like hard rock or metal. Classical music, jazz, latin jazz, latin music in general. But I love Band Maid. They are one of the best bands of anything I have ever heard in my life.
Glad to hear I’m not the only strange one who never liked (and still don’t) like rock music but am absolutely in love with this band’s songs and live performances... and their dorky and quirky personalities. They are a miracle band (as Akane puts it) and it’d be a sad day when one of them leaves and they disband. Even if they find a replacement it will never be the same.
A great post Marc. I got into them recently too. For me, personally, they're carrying the torch of great songwriting bands who break the rock stereotypes. I like a lot of things from pop to classical (Depeche Mode albums were a big thing for me in the 80s). I, like a number of old Rush fans, have found Band-Maid an easy transition. Rush had reached a real pinnacle of musicianship...40 years of album/tour/album/tour etc...for 19 albums. Not just great songwriting and astounding virtuosity but the nicest, decent people too...and I think that's where Band-Maid seem to have the right ingredients to take their musical journey as far as they are determined to pursue...with a loyal fan-base I'm sure. As you're appreciating what B-M bring with their skills, I would implore you to check out some Rush...firstly, less obvious, their 'Power Windows' album. Alongside the 80s cheesy/soft rock era I find this a master class of progressive songwriting...the percussion/lyrics by (many say) best drummer ever!...a sublime guitarist...vocals and bass by a unique individual with the most melodic basslines (songs like 'The Big Money' and 'Marathon'). Also, see what they did in their early twenties in the video of song 'Xanadu (Live...exit stage left tour 1981)'...3 guys sounding like 5 or 6 musicians much of the time...awesome. Excuse the 'hard sell'...I'd be interested to know Marc...which musicians do you rate as the finest you know, regardless of genre? I always like the chance to discover something great that I've been missing.
@@weilima9316 It's amazing that, apparently, when they made 'Thrill' 6 years ago...they were thinking about giving up as a band. But the online attention that video brought from around the world gave them the push to continue. I'm so glad!! I agree...the lineup seems perfect/irreplaceable.
@@philproffitt8363 Yes, it's true. They were almost about to call it quits. Then, "Thrill" happened, of all places overseas. I read the interviews.
.. love is an invisible fantasy .. thank you so much 🎈
Saiki is DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS. And, she has an amazing voice.
That you can't understand.

Don't stop your journey with just 2 songs used on Kate.
Band-Maid will show you so many more than just radio-friendly, anime-friendly songs!
Shit! I sure hope these girls book bigger venues for the next world tour, they're gonna need it!! Welcome aboard everybody! My name is Chuck and I'm a Band Maid addict!
Watched Kate last night, what a great movie.
There’s seemingly an endless supply of metal divas in Japan.

まじかっこ良すぎんだろ….
Peacemaker showing everyone band maid and making the world a better place.
Just heard of this group today, it's been like 2 hours and can't stop. This is great
Band Maid has about 110 original songs and is one of the best rock bands. There's a lot to discover.
Here are some interesting background information on the history of Band Maid:
Akane Hirose - drums (December 14, 1990)
Kanami Tono - lead guitar, composer (September 28, 1991)
Miku Kobato (Japanese small pigeon) real name: Mika Noguchi - rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, founder of the band (October 21, 1991)
MISA - Bass (October 15, 1992)
Saiki Atsumi - vocals (February 8, 1994)
Mika Noguchi worked in a maids café in her hometown of Kumamoto. It was there that she discovered her love of entertainment and decided to become a singer.
At 19, she moved to Tokyo. She got a job at a maids café in Akihabara and took singing lessons.
In December 2011 she won the Super Idol Audition of a local television station and was a member of the idol group Lil Cumin until April 2013.
But she wanted her own rock band and came up with the idea of combining Maid Café Entertainment with rock music.
A friend showed her a video on TH-cam of a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar singing her own songs in a bar. (Kanami later deleted the video)
She contacted Kanami through her agency. When they first met, Kanami was so excited about the idea that she called Akane.
Akane (drums) supported Kanami (guitar) several times on her solo performances. And they have occasionally played as backup musicians for the idol group Predia.
Akane knew the bassist Misa from the music college.
Band Maid was formed in late June or early July 2013. (Maybe June 26, 2013)
After the first live performance, they found that Miku's voice was too weak for hard rock and a second guitar was missing.
They contacted all the singers in their agency and selected Saiki.
Fearing that Saiki might jump off , they did not tell her about the maid's clothes.
She only found out the day before her first live performance as a singer for Band Maid.( August 22, 2013)
Miku learned to play the guitar from Kanami and now it's really good.
The rest is history.
Rock history from an incredible rock band.
Welcome aboard!
How is it two weeks later? Do you feel their music running through your veins already?
Same here in Buenos Aires haha lml
@@yerayortiz7285 I've come to realize us madiacs are just vampires of a different breed 🤣
When I heard bandmaid in peacemaker I screamed like a little fangirl, holy moly.
Me too! While repetitively tapping my brother on the shoulder
This band is absolutely phenomenal! Each member is a stand out in their area AND in my opinion, Kanami is one of the finest rock musicians of all time!
@cooziedoo
She IS among the Best guitarists and Rock composers unable to compose a Bad Song
Well, given she's the principal songwriter of one of the top five rock bands of all time, yep, sure is.
Completely agree! She reminds me of the best rock guitarist/composers like her hero Carlos Santana plus Alex Lifeson and even Jimmy Page - she’s that unique and creative. A remarkable, rare and important talent! 😎🔥🎸
@@spuri0us she's good, but don't ya think you're overselling it, just a little bit? I enjoy it, but I wouldn't put them in the top 10 best modern rock bands, like be real.
@@NobleVI_343 To be honest I was probably hammered when I wrote that, but on sober reflection I stand by it. I struggle to think of any _rock_ band that's definitively better. As to modern rock bands, who do you have in mind? I'd put Arctic Monkey's in the same strata, and that's about it. (Early Gacharic Spin (with Armmy) pip them, but they're not rock per se.)
Yes, Peacemaker brought me here.
Yes, this song is a certified banger.
amazing how the voice joins the sound of the group
Saiki’s voice is their 5th instrument, as they sometimes say.
