Been listening to these ladies rock now for over 4 years. They bring it every time. No one genre can hold these musicians in place. They just ROCK. Luv them

Exactly! They have so much of the great bands genes - remind me of The Stones or old Aerosmith, throw in some Oasis or Bush, add the chops and musicality of Rush but with something new all their own - just fantastic. Really dig these songs off the new album. Hoping I get an opportunity to see them live in the US Midwest.

Rock n Roll at its finest. You cannot deny this fact. When I listen to Band-Maid I only think of Band-Maid. There are dozens of great songs remaining but try Warning (the MV or Live) or No God (live) for your next Band-Maid tune. They will always make you smile. Peace.
@@BritPopsReact Did you guys go to Oxford Or Cambridge? "soon" means less than 11 months since last Band-Maid reaction not more than 11 months. 😉ONSET-LIVE please.
The beauty of Band-Maid songs is that they have a familiarity without being derivative of the influence from which they've drawn. That and they blend the breadth of influences so naturally that it truly becomes it's own thing. As a musician, I find that I often thinking: "Why didn't I think to do that". It's so brilliant in that regard.

Their music sounds so full because it is really packed to the brim. It is incredible what you can find in the multiple underlying layers. This is music based on the guitar riff (many of them), something difficult to compose because it requires a lot of work and dedication apart from inspiration.

I can too..Yet..I always remember something I heard Long Ago (Maybe in a previous Life?).."There is nothing New Under the Sun"...I personally don't ever "compare" any band to another...That's just me..
Nice to have you guys back! Band-maid captures and expands so many rock styles. Suggestions: Warning or No God (current album); Domination or Rinne (full-on rock from previous albums); Daydreaming or Anemone (ballads from previous albums)
@Italo Calvino Hello and thanks for the nice comment. Sorry it took so long to come back, we have a huge list of songs we want to react to but we only get to record around twice a week and only put out one maybe tow reactions a day, so it may seem like we take forever and in between we go off and discover new artist and try to follow up with those too. Thanks for sticking with us and see if there is anything else we have done that may interest you. The "Ayron Jones" one is good if you do not know who he is...check it out and let me know what you think. It did not get many views but it deserves way more so help get his name out there!!! Ciao
If there's ever 5 women who deserve mega success,it's these wonderful female talented and humble ladies. This song show why. Good reactions fellas. Always get appreciation from Maidiacs with your appreciation of The Maids. Good way to increase your subs and views quickly.
@Jim RICHARDSON Hello and thank you for the nice comment, it is really appreciated. We just enjoy listening to good music, no matter who is creating it, we can appreciate it coming from anyone. Thank you for watching
theres another Band-Maid song with this style. its The Dragon Cries ( th-cam.com/video/skEkpogsmE0/w-d-xo.html ) for me, Manners is the evolution from TDC. where as TDC is the result from collaboration with Tony Visconti.
@Nova Saputra Hello and thanks for the comment and the recommendation. We did like this version as it was not heavy and suited our "cup of tea" criteria, although we don't mind listening to other ones. Thanks for watching.
Nice reaction. I was surprised to see the reverse voting after Domination when the left guy gave 10 and the right gave 9. I would suggest oldies but goodies, unfortunately they aren’t on YT. Puzzle, Moratorium, Don’t tell me. There are a couple oldies on YT which you may want to react on, Daydreaming and Onset live. Both are excellent.
@Haggai Simon Hi, thanks for the comment and ooh you do check out how we score too. This is BP2 (Brit Pop2) on the right replying to you, in some of the comments about they have mentioned that this is more a Blues style track with R&B vocals. As both of those are what I really enjoy it probably just sat really well with me and was "my cup of tea" Thanks for watching and we will be back with more Band-maid soon
@@BritPopsReact Some kids did a really good cover of Moratorium that is worth seeing. th-cam.com/video/Fu6it2fsAvA/w-d-xo.html You can also find them play it live in the UK for example.
Personally, I really like this band. They are multi-talented in every aspect of what brings about great music. I enjoy your comparisons to other artists. In fact, I listened to the Gorillaz, and found the song with the riff. So, keep that up. It helps me with my musical education. I started digging into the Band-Maid's story, to bring me up to speed about who does what, how they started, their training, their influences, etc. But, I decided to step back and learn from BP1, BP2, and your subscribers. You all are a wealth of knowledge because almost every single one of you are passionate about what Band-Aid is doing. Sometimes, it's best to sit back and soak up what everyone else is bringing to the table. I am going to listen to your previous reaction on this band and read all the comments there, too. I'm amazed at how much your other subscribers know about them, but they have been following them for a while. This is my very first exposure to them. My Mom was born and raised in Japan. She's been living in the US for many decades now. That is another reason that I was so interested in this particular band. My initial observation on them is that they are great musicians. They each rock their instruments of choice and their vocals work very well together, or as solos. Even though I don't know the lyrics, I found my head bobbing and my foot tapping. That drum solo, followed by the guitar solo impressed me a lot. They just seem so happy and, that alone, can draw me in. I did wonder if a record label will let them be, and not try to change them, in a heavy-handed kind of way. They're very marketable, for sure. I stopped digging into Band-Maid's story to listen to the Roger Water reaction video. Then, I went into overdrive, listening to, and learning about Pink Floyd. One of the things that came to my mind, regarding Band-Maid is that I sure hope they can stay true to themselves and to each other. After reading a little on Pink Floyd and reading about their in-fighting and break-up, I immediately thought about all the bands that don't stay together because of the competition amongst the band members. This group of young women, they are so special and they are in a league of their own. A lot of record labels in the US try to "cultivate" an artist/band to fit them into some sort of cookie cutter, marketable product, that they think will be more prosperous to them (the record label). It seems to me that anyone with half a brain could recognize that if the band is left alone, untarnished by promoters and handlers, they can be more creative and flex those artistic muscles. That's not to say that I don't wish them great success and the money that comes with it. I'd just like to see them do it in their own way. Thought your score was spot on. Have a great Wednesday everyone. 🙂
@Debbie Lewis Hello and good evening to you. I needed to come back to this comment to give it the reply it deserved. So far, we have reacted to five Band-Maid songs, we found them from comments given to us on what bands we should react to. We had no idea who they were other than the short information I pulled up before our first reaction. We found that they just make us smile even though we may not know what they are singing about, they have great fun doing it and it's just great Rock. They are all sensational musicians and that is something we read from a comment, that in Japan, everyone is very talented, so you have to be even more talented to be recognised, I hope that is quote is correct. I am a bit of a guitar geek and even found a channel doing a review on the custom "Flappy Pigeon" Zemeitis guitar played by Miku (her nickname is Pigeon) The back story to the costumes is also interesting but I won't spoil all your research. As for Mr. Roger Waters, he is an interesting and controversial character. Did you find the article on how he turned down Mark Zuckerberg in no uncertain and with very fruity language, when asked if they could use a Pink Floyd song for an Instagram campaign. Gilmour and Waters have had quite an acrimonious falling out and Waters claims that Gilmour thinks he owns Pink Floyd. They last reunited for the "Live 8" concert in 2005 organised by Sir Bob Geldof. They both still used to tour and were only allowed to play certain songs from the Pink Floyd catalogue. Hope you enjoyed the reactions and more coming soon. Now off to answer your golfing comment 🙂
@@BritPopsReactNow, before I forget to say it, again, I LOVE to hear you and BP1 speaking. Your British accents are so lovely. Here, in the South, we develop a "southern drawl", that sometimes can slay a listeners ears. Listening to you guys is MUSIC to my ears. Hence, I'm not off subject since this channel is about MUSIC. Yes, I read/viewed the story about Roger Waters' outburst about Zuckerberg's request to use one of Pink Floyd's songs (Another Brick in the Wall) for an ad campaign for Instagram. I sort of understand where he is coming from. The politics in the US had me deciding not to even look at Facebook anymore. There has been so much misinformation on FB that I found myself doing fact-checks all day long. Truthfully, I was wondering who was doing the censorship, because they were doing a pretty poor job of it. There have been times, in the past, that I could have used some potty mouth language, too, about FB. Roger Waters ranted some words during an interview, and one of the interviewers mentioned they had 7 words they were not supposed to use on the air. Waters' was somewhat apologetic to them because he had already used some of those 7 words. He went on to call Zuckerberg "an idiot" and "a prick" (they told him that word was okay, as he glanced at them, after he said it). 🤣 That's why I just went to the music. There appears to be some toxicity between Waters and Gilmour. I did listen to four songs done from the Live 8 Concert in 2005. At the end, there was a group hug, which made me wonder why these guys can't bury the hatchet (and I'm not talking about in each others backs). Good grief !! Someone needs to stick them in a room with a therapist and a mediator and force them to "work it out, guys". Though It would be best to leave the hatchet outside of the room. 🙂 I'm finding that I truly enjoy all these different genres of music that I haven't pursued. My son is familiar with Metallica, Pink Floyd, and many other rock bands. We never told him he couldn't listen to the music he wanted to hear. Every generation has their own music, clothes, and hairstyles. 🙂 We did draw a line about what he could play in this house. I didn't want to hear the outright filthy language or songs that promoted violence. I'm sure he listened to some of that (in his car or at parties), but we never heard it here in our home. Mostly, the kind of rock music I listened to was like Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, The Eagles, some ZZ Top, some Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf. Bob Seger is, by far, my favorite. I think he would fall under the classic rock category, but I'm not sure that is even a genre. I've been to see him in concert multiple times. He really puts on a great concert. His band lost their saxophone player, Alto Reed (what a name, right?), late last year. Bob Seger said that "I might be the band's leader, but Alto Reed was the rock star." I think it's lovely when a group can get along, make great music, and lift each other up, like Bob Seger's band does. I read somewhere, that Seger has been so devastated by the loss of his friend that he doesn't want to tour. I'm hoping that time will heal his grieving heart. I will be following Band-Maid's music. My hope is that these ladies stay close and that they don't get in each other's way, creatively speaking, on their journey. Let's hope they choose to be like the Silver Bullet Band members and not go down a destructive pathway as Waters and Gilmour have done. Life is too short. You are, most likely, sleeping now and I guarantee that I'll be sleeping tonight, too. 😴 Looking forward to tomorrow's selections. Today was not my best day. Until then, cheerio.
@skyefox Thanks for the comment, ohhh Clutch, now that's a new name for us. Oh dear, looks like we may to look at someone else soon. Thanks for watching.
I think you'll like onset, moratorium as well (audio only), maybe warning... sounds like you like more straight rock or blues rock, but band-maid is a rock-core variation band and takes you on an adventure.
@Fume Z Thank you for the comment and your insight, we would agree or at least myself (BP2 on the right) my background is more Blues and straight Rock and that sits easy with me on a first time hearing a new song, but we do give most styles a try. Thanks for watching.
Guys, check out another all female Metal Band NEMOPHILA songs MV Raitei, Dissension, HANABIE song MV We Love Sweets, TRiDENT-Japan live MV No Regret, Voltage... :)
@zabri abu bakar Hello and thank you for your comment and band recommendations. I have added them to our very long list of Artists to check out and we will try and get a reaction to them at some stage. We really are only part time and try and get time to record maybe once or twice a week for a few hours only, so it may take some time to get to them but we will try. Thanks for watching and we appreciate it.
@micko11154 No worries, we hav eno idea what we are doing. Also, we happened to mention Mariah Carey in the same sentence as Dimash. !! We like to live on the edge. Thanks for watching.
The guy on the left is relentless in his pursuit of being reminded of something else, though they are both afflicted by it. "That reminds me of..." seems to me to be the least helpful form of musical review.
@Zookologist OK, sorry if that is not what like. That's just the way we do and think out loud. Maybe we are not for you and that's fine. Thanks for checking us out anyway.
@@BritPopsReact Fair response. The point I am getting at is I don't know what you think from the comparisons you made. If you were reviewing a painting and said it had blue and orange in it and that reminded you of another picture with blue and orange in it...I learn nothing from that. I don't hear the Gorrillaz myself...other than maybe a slight electropop-esque tuning on Kanami's PRS. Was interested in that comparison but you don't give any context or explanation.
@Zookologist Morning and thanks for the follow up. Yes, I can understand your explanation and it does make sense. We are really hearing the song for the first time and we do it all on one recording, I have no idea what BP1 will say and he has no idea what I will say, we are just going with the flow, trying to listen to the song and think of something interesting to say and not make complete fools of ourselves in the process. Sometime, something pop's in your head like the sound of another song and it's hard to shake the thought. Bottom line is, we don't really know what we are doing, we just enjoy hearing new artists and songs and if someone enjoys what we do, that's a bonus. We didn't think anyone would watch anything we do, so we are totally surprised. We are learning all the time and only been doing this for just over 3 months and it's just a part-time fun thing. Hope that helps give a little background on us two fools and hope you come back soon. Cheers
@Frank Puncekar Thanks for the suggestion, we will be going back to Band-Maid, it may seem to take a long time for us to get back to them but we only record around twice a week and post out one maybe two a day. Stay tuned and see if you also find anything else on our channel to keep you entertained. All the best!!🤘🤘

Think you may know the guy we have coming up next, it ain't heavy, but he can do those too. Hope you enjoy it... Cheers!!
@Dennis Connors Ahh man, come on, we record twice a week as this is only something we do part time during our work and family commitments. We have it setup this way so that we don't get videos blocked as that does happen and then the short amount of time we do have is lost and we don't have time to record them again. We just forgot in our short time window to setup the video capture setup from one song to the next. Sorry if it bothers you but it helps us get the videos out. Hope that helps.
What if when Miku rights lirycs like world domination and take over the world we're not actually paying attention to a nefarious pigeon plot to very well take over the world? Many have tried before and failed, (Dr evil) comes to mind, but I feel we had better take this a little more seriously less she actually does. Although I suppose I could bow before Miku.

I can too..Yet..I always remember something I heard Long Ago (Maybe in a previous Life?).."There is nothing New Under the Sun"...I personally don't ever
"compare" any band to another...That's just me..
@@jasonmartin9469 I don't believe in reincarnation...except when its a kick-ass B-M song ('Rinne')
Nice to have you guys back! Band-maid captures and expands so many rock styles. Suggestions: Warning or No God (current album); Domination or Rinne (full-on rock from previous albums); Daydreaming or Anemone (ballads from previous albums)
@Italo Calvino
Hello and thanks for the nice comment.
Sorry it took so long to come back, we have a huge list of songs we want to react to but we only get to record around twice a week and only put out one maybe tow reactions a day, so it may seem like we take forever and in between we go off and discover new artist and try to follow up with those too.
Thanks for sticking with us and see if there is anything else we have done that may interest you.
The "Ayron Jones" one is good if you do not know who he is...check it out and let me know what you think.
It did not get many views but it deserves way more so help get his name out there!!!
Ciao
It always feels like Misa is channelling a little Glenn Hughes in her groove on this one. Another blinder from them.. love it.
@Gavin Revitt
Okayyy, I'm not really a Bass man but there were some great Bass runs in that song.
Thanks for watching and the comment.

If there's ever 5 women who deserve mega success,it's these wonderful female talented and humble ladies. This song show why. Good reactions fellas. Always get appreciation from Maidiacs with your appreciation of The Maids. Good way to increase your subs and views quickly.

Hello and thank you for the nice comment, it is really appreciated.
We just enjoy listening to good music, no matter who is creating it, we can appreciate it coming from anyone.
Thank you for watching
Great reaction and glad you liked this.
@glen kelley
Thank you for watching, oh yes, it was our "cup of tea" !!
We will be back with more from Band-Maid soon
Thanks guys!

theres another Band-Maid song with this style.
its The Dragon Cries ( th-cam.com/video/skEkpogsmE0/w-d-xo.html )
for me, Manners is the evolution from TDC. where as TDC is the result from collaboration with Tony Visconti.
@Nova Saputra
Hello and thanks for the comment and the recommendation.
We did like this version as it was not heavy and suited our "cup of tea" criteria, although we don't mind listening to other ones.
Thanks for watching.
Nice reaction. I was surprised to see the reverse voting after Domination when the left guy gave 10 and the right gave 9. I would suggest oldies but goodies, unfortunately they aren’t on YT. Puzzle, Moratorium, Don’t tell me. There are a couple oldies on YT which you may want to react on, Daydreaming and Onset live. Both are excellent.
@Haggai Simon
Hi, thanks for the comment and ooh you do check out how we score too.
This is BP2 (Brit Pop2) on the right replying to you, in some of the comments about they have mentioned that this is more a Blues style track with R&B vocals.
As both of those are what I really enjoy it probably just sat really well with me and was "my cup of tea"
Thanks for watching and we will be back with more Band-maid soon
@@BritPopsReact Some kids did a really good cover of Moratorium that is worth seeing. th-cam.com/video/Fu6it2fsAvA/w-d-xo.html
You can also find them play it live in the UK for example.
MISA MISA MISA!
Band Maid...never ending!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
@SNOWDOG
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
This song is based on a driving base groove and guitar riff. Nice R&B dual vocals on top.
@John Tappmeyer
Nice simple breakdown, I think the R&B vocals in there was what hooked me in.
Cheers
Personally, I really like this band. They are multi-talented in every aspect of what brings about great music. I enjoy your comparisons to other artists. In fact, I listened to the Gorillaz, and found the song with the riff. So, keep that up. It helps me with my musical education.
I started digging into the Band-Maid's story, to bring me up to speed about who does what, how they started, their training, their influences, etc. But, I decided to step back and learn from BP1, BP2, and your subscribers. You all are a wealth of knowledge because almost every single one of you are passionate about what Band-Aid is doing. Sometimes, it's best to sit back and soak up what everyone else is bringing to the table. I am going to listen to your previous reaction on this band and read all the comments there, too. I'm amazed at how much your other subscribers know about them, but they have been following them for a while. This is my very first exposure to them. My Mom was born and raised in Japan. She's been living in the US for many decades now. That is another reason that I was so interested in this particular band.
My initial observation on them is that they are great musicians. They each rock their instruments of choice and their vocals work very well together, or as solos. Even though I don't know the lyrics, I found my head bobbing and my foot tapping. That drum solo, followed by the guitar solo impressed me a lot. They just seem so happy and, that alone, can draw me in. I did wonder if a record label will let them be, and not try to change them, in a heavy-handed kind of way. They're very marketable, for sure.
I stopped digging into Band-Maid's story to listen to the Roger Water reaction video. Then, I went into overdrive, listening to, and learning about Pink Floyd. One of the things that came to my mind, regarding Band-Maid is that I sure hope they can stay true to themselves and to each other. After reading a little on Pink Floyd and reading about their in-fighting and break-up, I immediately thought about all the bands that don't stay together because of the competition amongst the band members. This group of young women, they are so special and they are in a league of their own. A lot of record labels in the US try to "cultivate" an artist/band to fit them into some sort of cookie cutter, marketable product, that they think will be more prosperous to them (the record label). It seems to me that anyone with half a brain could recognize that if the band is left alone, untarnished by promoters and handlers, they can be more creative and flex those artistic muscles. That's not to say that I don't wish them great success and the money that comes with it. I'd just like to see them do it in their own way.
Thought your score was spot on. Have a great Wednesday everyone. 🙂
@Debbie Lewis
Hello and good evening to you.
I needed to come back to this comment to give it the reply it deserved.
So far, we have reacted to five Band-Maid songs, we found them from comments given to us on what bands we should react to.
We had no idea who they were other than the short information I pulled up before our first reaction.
We found that they just make us smile even though we may not know what they are singing about, they have great fun doing it and it's just great Rock.
They are all sensational musicians and that is something we read from a comment, that in Japan, everyone is very talented, so you have to be even more talented to be recognised, I hope that is quote is correct.
I am a bit of a guitar geek and even found a channel doing a review on the custom "Flappy Pigeon" Zemeitis guitar played by Miku (her nickname is Pigeon)
The back story to the costumes is also interesting but I won't spoil all your research.
As for Mr. Roger Waters, he is an interesting and controversial character.
Did you find the article on how he turned down Mark Zuckerberg in no uncertain and with very fruity language, when asked if they could use a Pink Floyd song for an Instagram campaign.
Gilmour and Waters have had quite an acrimonious falling out and Waters claims that Gilmour thinks he owns Pink Floyd.
They last reunited for the "Live 8" concert in 2005 organised by Sir Bob Geldof.
They both still used to tour and were only allowed to play certain songs from the Pink Floyd catalogue.
Hope you enjoyed the reactions and more coming soon.
Now off to answer your golfing comment 🙂
@@BritPopsReactNow, before I forget to say it, again, I LOVE to hear you and BP1 speaking. Your British accents are so lovely. Here, in the South, we develop a "southern drawl", that sometimes can slay a listeners ears. Listening to you guys is MUSIC to my ears. Hence, I'm not off subject since this channel is about MUSIC.
Yes, I read/viewed the story about Roger Waters' outburst about Zuckerberg's request to use one of Pink Floyd's songs (Another Brick in the Wall) for an ad campaign for Instagram. I sort of understand where he is coming from. The politics in the US had me deciding not to even look at Facebook anymore. There has been so much misinformation on FB that I found myself doing fact-checks all day long. Truthfully, I was wondering who was doing the censorship, because they were doing a pretty poor job of it. There have been times, in the past, that I could have used some potty mouth language, too, about FB. Roger Waters ranted some words during an interview, and one of the interviewers mentioned they had 7 words they were not supposed to use on the air. Waters' was somewhat apologetic to them because he had already used some of those 7 words. He went on to call Zuckerberg "an idiot" and "a prick" (they told him that word was okay, as he glanced at them, after he said it). 🤣 That's why I just went to the music. There appears to be some toxicity between Waters and Gilmour. I did listen to four songs done from the Live 8 Concert in 2005. At the end, there was a group hug, which made me wonder why these guys can't bury the hatchet (and I'm not talking about in each others backs). Good grief !! Someone needs to stick them in a room with a therapist and a mediator and force them to "work it out, guys". Though It would be best to leave the hatchet outside of the room. 🙂
I'm finding that I truly enjoy all these different genres of music that I haven't pursued. My son is familiar with Metallica, Pink Floyd, and many other rock bands. We never told him he couldn't listen to the music he wanted to hear. Every generation has their own music, clothes, and hairstyles. 🙂 We did draw a line about what he could play in this house. I didn't want to hear the outright filthy language or songs that promoted violence. I'm sure he listened to some of that (in his car or at parties), but we never heard it here in our home. Mostly, the kind of rock music I listened to was like Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, The Eagles, some ZZ Top, some Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf. Bob Seger is, by far, my favorite. I think he would fall under the classic rock category, but I'm not sure that is even a genre. I've been to see him in concert multiple times. He really puts on a great concert. His band lost their saxophone player, Alto Reed (what a name, right?), late last year. Bob Seger said that "I might be the band's leader, but Alto Reed was the rock star." I think it's lovely when a group can get along, make great music, and lift each other up, like Bob Seger's band does. I read somewhere, that Seger has been so devastated by the loss of his friend that he doesn't want to tour. I'm hoping that time will heal his grieving heart.
I will be following Band-Maid's music. My hope is that these ladies stay close and that they don't get in each other's way, creatively speaking, on their journey. Let's hope they choose to be like the Silver Bullet Band members and not go down a destructive pathway as Waters and Gilmour have done. Life is too short.
You are, most likely, sleeping now and I guarantee that I'll be sleeping tonight, too. 😴
Looking forward to tomorrow's selections. Today was not my best day. Until then, cheerio.
2:35 it took me several listens but this song is very reminiscent of Clutch.
@skyefox
Thanks for the comment, ohhh Clutch, now that's a new name for us.
Oh dear, looks like we may to look at someone else soon.
Thanks for watching.

I think you'll like onset, moratorium as well (audio only), maybe warning... sounds like you like more straight rock or blues rock, but band-maid is a rock-core variation band and takes you on an adventure.
@Fume Z
Thank you for the comment and your insight, we would agree or at least myself (BP2 on the right) my background is more Blues and straight Rock and that sits easy with me on a first time hearing a new song, but we do give most styles a try.
Thanks for watching.
It's an amazing track.🎸🎸
Great song. 👍👍

One of my favorites off their new album. You should listen to 'Onset - Live'. You won't be disappointed.

Hello and thank you for your comment and band recommendations.
I have added them to our very long list of Artists to check out and we will try and get a reaction to them at some stage.
We really are only part time and try and get time to record maybe once or twice a week for a few hours only, so it may take some time to get to them but we will try.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate it.

The guy on the left is relentless in his pursuit of being reminded of something else, though they are both afflicted by it. "That reminds me of..." seems to me to be the least helpful form of musical review.
@Zookologist
OK, sorry if that is not what like.
That's just the way we do and think out loud.
Maybe we are not for you and that's fine.
Thanks for checking us out anyway.
@@BritPopsReact Fair response.
The point I am getting at is I don't know what you think from the comparisons you made. If you were reviewing a painting and said it had blue and orange in it and that reminded you of another picture with blue and orange in it...I learn nothing from that.
I don't hear the Gorrillaz myself...other than maybe a slight electropop-esque tuning on Kanami's PRS. Was interested in that comparison but you don't give any context or explanation.
@Zookologist
Morning and thanks for the follow up.
Yes, I can understand your explanation and it does make sense.
We are really hearing the song for the first time and we do it all on one recording, I have no idea what BP1 will say and he has no idea what I will say, we are just going with the flow, trying to listen to the song and think of something interesting to say and not make complete fools of ourselves in the process.
Sometime, something pop's in your head like the sound of another song and it's hard to shake the thought.
Bottom line is, we don't really know what we are doing, we just enjoy hearing new artists and songs and if someone enjoys what we do, that's a bonus.
We didn't think anyone would watch anything we do, so we are totally surprised.
We are learning all the time and only been doing this for just over 3 months and it's just a part-time fun thing.
Hope that helps give a little background on us two fools and hope you come back soon.
Cheers

I see you used that Fair Use Cam again for Band-Maid , there label doesn't block . You told me you weren't gonna use it again for Band - Maid ?
@Dennis Connors
Ahh man, come on, we record twice a week as this is only something we do part time during our work and family commitments.
We have it setup this way so that we don't get videos blocked as that does happen and then the short amount of time we do have is lost and we don't have time to record them again.
We just forgot in our short time window to setup the video capture setup from one song to the next.
Sorry if it bothers you but it helps us get the videos out.
Hope that helps.
Anyone else hearing "She's got the look"? Great work as usual, but maybe not as special as some of their stuff.
@donepearce
That could well be the one, we will give it another listen, but there was something that was making my little brain work overtime.
What if when Miku rights lirycs like world domination and take over the world we're not actually paying attention to a nefarious pigeon plot to very well take over the world? Many have tried before and failed, (Dr evil) comes to mind, but I feel we had better take this a little more seriously less she actually does. Although I suppose I could bow before Miku.
