Blüe Oyster Cult represent so much to me !!! I have all their 70s/early 80s albums on vinyls. So seeing Albert knowing and loving Band-Maid made my day, even my week! Please let him know how much he's loved by us.
I got to see them live earlier this month. They are the real deal. All are exceptional musicians.
Who'da thunk he was a Band-Maid fan . Awesome
Woo hoo Albert ❤ BAND-MAID. As a 13yr old after i heard "Fire of Unknown Origin" i bought all of BÖC's albums. When i heard BAND-MAID's "Don't You Tell Me" in 2017 i immediately bought all of their records too. As you can see i don't do that too often but BAND-MAID are so damn awesome it's almost criminal :)
I know you like DYTM because you always imagine being the guy under Saiki's boot. 👢
@@TomClark-Futoura Saiki snaps that vertebrae back in line every time :)
@@TomClark-Futoura Yup, Gary, me, you and about a hundred and fifty million other guys, lol. The look of victory on Saiki's face is perfect and Miku's giggling and hopping when they come out from behind the table is priceless. And the fact that the song is just so musically in tune with the premise of the songs is just the cherry on top.
@@mikeat2637 No doubt one of their best MV ever! At the level of Daydreaming, Unleash!!!!!, and ha-ha, about 40 others.🤘🤣
@@GaryHolloway-810 Oh, I see. You like being under Saiki's boot for medicinal purposes only. 😉
As someone who's seen them live, they put on a great show but more importantly they sound great live. Try to catch them on one of their festival or venue shows. You won't regret it. Final show on this tour is Yokahoma arena in Japan. Cool to see them just continue to collect respect and fans.
It's awesome he never stopped exploring music. Many people are stuck at their teen years.
I saw BOC in the early '80s. During Godzilla they did a laser show on the ceiling and everyone was watching that but when it was done and we turned back to the stage the drummer had put on a Godzilla mask and did a killer solo. It was epic!
As someone who has been fortunate enough, and old enough, to see both BOC and Band-Maid live and loved them both, I'm happy that Albert likes them! Great pairing of songs, showing the range of these amazing ladies!
I too was fortunate enough to see BOC six or seven times in their prime. One of my all time favorite bands. If you listen to BOC you can hear the uniqueness in their music much like Band Maid.
@@waynedahlen9655 I agree!
I saw them at The Ace of Spades in Sacramento. They were epic. Beyond everything I could have hoped for. I still get emotional listening to them now.
I saw you Mr Bouchard at the Charleston (WV) Civic Center in June of 1976. What a great concert and unbelievable lineup that night.
Yes / Blue Öyster Cult / ZZ Top
Oh wow how awesome, John. I have all of BÖC's albums up to "Revolution by night" cos i thought after that they embraced that 80's sound too much.😔
Great reaction... especially Albert. I saw BOC live in Omaha 1979 it was fantastic (was just off stage left in line with drum kit... Godzilla head blew me away), saw BAND-MAID in Sacramento this year blew my mind just how incredibly gifted these musicians are and they are genuinely the nicest people too.
I love the fact that he already knew who they were and loved them!
I love BOC!!!! Once of my top all time favorite songs is Godzilla and I think it would be awesome if Band-Maid covered it!!! 1980 (age 12) my babysitter got me hooked onto Godzilla!!!!
I think it would be cool if people like this would reach out to the members of Band-Maid. Just imagine if Carlos Santana sent Kanami a birthday greeting.
She would love it, and melt like butter.
They both use the same sound company.
Oh man! Too bad we didn't get his feelings on Chemical Reaction. That song always reminds me of an uptempo Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. It is steeped in late 70's rock.
I can feel the burning stare of Akane scowling at Godzilla from here. 🦍
Blue Öyster Cult is a great band. A legendary band. Cool to see Albert on with you. Love to see he is a fan of Band-Maid. You have to get him to a show. Who know, the girls might even like to meet him. You know they are fans of reaction videos. Wonder if they have seen any of yours, Joel.
Oh hell yeah, thank you to Albert for taking the time out to react, and thank you Joel for having him on! Albert absolutely nailed beautiful blend of styles that is Band-Maid.
BAND-MAID got a double dip this time. NICE!! "Hyper pop , but metal" is about the best description of "Black Hole" that I've heard. The first song "Manners " was obviously live since it was from the same show, but I think he was talking about some of the instrumental backing tracks he was hearing. There were vocal ones too on Miku's backing vocals but she was really singing along with them.Either that or they were adding effects to her vocals.
Exactly. There are backing tracks for extra instruments and backing vocals for certain parts that need group vocals. It's usually pretty obvious, especially live, when it's Miku in person and when it's the backing track.
I used to think that Akane's kick drum alone would be worth the price of admission. Then I saw them live and I realized I WAS RIGHT!!!!!
Its so cool when legends like BOC realy like these bands from Japan i grew up with BOC. Real musicians just know talent when they see it .
I'm really glad to hear that Albert likes BM, that is a real coup in my opinion. I've seen them three times live, twice in 2022 and once this year and one thing that always stands out is their level of consistency. Black Hole isn't one of my top songs, but Manners is so enjoyable, especially live at a show because everyone in the crowd knows when the ha ha ha is going to come down and everybody chimes without having to be prompted. Just an all-around great band and great ambassadors.
Don't Fear The Reaper has been my primary ringtone since I got my first cell phone. Just an amazing musical journey.
Fantastic you had Albert on listening to the Maids!!!! Unfortunately, when I saw Blue Oyster Cult on 2/24/1983, Albert had just recently left the band. 😢 (They were still awesome 🤩).
Clearly Albert understands talent, skill and great rock music and instantly “gets it” that the Maids are a top-notch band and worthy of his high praise. A shame he hasn’t been able to see them live (like me 😢) when they’ve come to the US. Next time for us both!!
Great job!! Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🎸🥁🎤🎼😀✌🏼
Just celebrated their 10th anniversary PO! Been a fan for 9 of those years!!
Manners has a great old school rock vibe! ♥
Blue Oyster Cult (and Rainbow) in San Diego was the first concert I ever went to. Band Maid In Minneapolis was the most recent. This video makes me so, so, so very happy. Thank you.
Hey Sir! These are two of my favorites from the Maids, partly because they're so different! Misa grooooves on one, and Akane going ham on the other. So great! Rock on!x 🤘😎👍
Without doubt my FAVOURITE Band Maid song !
Damn... Albert Bouchard!. Wow.
Cool. Cool cool cool. Albert should commit the name "Akane Hirose" (廣瀬 茜) to memory. She's a beast on drums. A gorilla, some would say.
I'd say if he wants to go see them live, they should arrange for a chair at the edge of the stage for him. Miku: "You *_must_* 'moe moe!!!!!'"
Give Band-Maid a heads up, too. I know they don't do many covers but I'd love to hear them take a stab at "Godzilla."
I'd also love to see them cover Don't Fear The Reaper, even as an instrumental.
BOC's"Godzilla!" is a fitting song to describe BM crushing not only Japan, but the whole world.
Both of these songs were played during an online live concert in the middle of the pandemic... I have also been to a number of their concerts... When the set up and the acoustics are correct they really do sound that good...
BOC was one of the groups that I was always listening to back in the '80s, and like so many here have said, I had to get everything of theirs that I could find. Thanks Albert, for some awesome music.
Band-Maid has brought back that whole feeling of finding new, exciting music like back when I was discovering BOC and a handful of other performers back when. I had very nearly given up on finding anything new that really spoke to me ever again.
Yes!! Please see them live. They are an amazing band!
WARNING! (Maybe your next song? Use the official, produced MV) It's bad MANNERS to stop listening to Band-Maid because you'll feel starved for musical excellence and joy and fall into a BLACK HOLE of emptiness... probably! 😵 Thx, Albert & Joel!
BAND -MAID, yep nuff said 😁👍🍻
I would be very interested to know what he would say about "Key" from their first album "Maid in Japan", because there the short solo section is a nice reminiscence of "Don't fear the Reaper".
Awesome. A BOC member knows BAND-MAID. Go figure. There's a killer collab. Peace. 15.8
Joel's "What does a" series is one of the best ideas on YT & how cool that Albert loves BAND-MAID. Is there a Rock band called "Blue Oyster Maid"?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yes, it is a cool series. Another cool series would have Gary .............................. 🤔
@@jkkansasband7056 "Gary & Jk do a stupid thing"?🤷♂️
@@GaryHolloway-810 LOL. That would be about right. 🤯🤣
I THINK HE WOULD LIKE "GLIM SPANKY".
I think you are right :)
I don't think I see them mentioned nearly often enough :) They are wonderful.
I like how you show off these bands to people I really respect. I do strongly recommend you actually talk about the song after the performance. Half the time, it seems like you're just rushing, going that band was great, right? and not letting the other person talk about it.
In a way, I think BOC and BM have similarities, respecting the temporal difference between them. I was surprised that Albert knows the band, but I wasn't surprised that he likes them.
Neat classic rockstar. He got any social media?
It's almost a shame to mention that the bass player is killing it. All the right parts in all the right places, and somehow even leaving room. Damn! The shame part is that everyone else is spot-on, too. Great band, great arrangement, rocking its ass off and nobody on the stage is a waste of space.
That was cool! Need to make sure Band-Maid sees this! For singers I would have said Ado. She's the most amazing singer in my opinion.
Love both bands, and talent recognises talent. I strongly believe a cover of Godzilla would be amazing and, possibly, a breakthrough for BAND-MAID.
The song "Godzilla" covered by a Japanese band.... oh the irony, lol.
@@motley22crue exactly 😄
OMG- I've been a BOC fan my whole life ( 71 ) what a great person to react to my new fav band.
BOC with the Bouchard bros had one of the finest bass/drums pairings in rock, and now we have Akane and Misa. Kanami and Buck Dharma are two of my top 5 guitar heroes for sure.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Those tracks were live from their February 11, 2021 Online Okyu-ji. They were to have played at Budokan, but the concert was cancelled because of the renewed lockdown in Japan. They had an entire concert planned for the live show but then rescheduled at an empty soundstage used for live television and livestreamed it to their fan club. They release a few segments online on May 10th, 2021, the "Day of the Maid", Ma10 - get the pun? I have the BluRay and they use backing tracks to augment the concert, especially where they anticipate audience participation, because there was no audience. Band-Maid does augment their live vocals with backing tracks, but not egregiously so. At times the silence between songs is eerie. They are in this auditorium with just their techs and the television crew. Miku occasionally consorts with the director at the edge of the stage. Saiki and Miku's MC times are a bit emotional, especially when they introduce their new song "About Us". This is an important moment in Band-Maid's history, a large part of what bonds them together.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
One of the best things about Band-Maid is that they are genereless. They do so many different types of music that you can't put them into a box. Most of these videos are the singles, but each album is pretty unique, and awesome, in it's own way.
The backing vocals changed for the best here.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have you played Albert any of Lovebites' songs?
Hey Albert knows everyone 😂
Right! Had his finger on the pulse.....
Joel, Did you tell your friend who is who in Band Maid??
😁
"the drummer is amazing" then black hole plays....
I'm disappointed I would have shared Lovebites instead of Band Maid with the amazing BOC member
Not even close. Band-Maid outshines all other bands out there.
I totally agree with Albert regarding Dimash - "lets hear him sing a normal song". I think he is tiresome.
But, I really like Alberts reactions. OK - he knew BAND-MAID, but anyhow.
It would be nicer if he would listen to something unknown to him. Do he know
* Ningen Isu
* Nemophila
* Lovebites
* Hanabie
* Wagakki Band
I think dimash is like a magic act or freak show. It's cool to watch once but it seems like vocal wanking after one song IMHO.
Who cares what he thinks.
Oh and I'm getting Imaginos 3 immedioso
