I had the same thoughts about Kanami, she doesn’t remind me of any other guitarist, then to find out she’s the composer of the band!! Dude, her music skills are nothing short of being genius!!
Maybe i’ve never thought about it before but I can’t think of another guitar player who so relentlessly does interesting, and diverse, work throughout entire songs. If you pay attention she is ALWAYS playing something cool, and hardly ever stops, even when she’s way back in the mix so others can shine. She’s still there, doing something great.
She is so much more than just writing the music to Miku's lyrics. Kanami is responsible for the synth, piano, backing tracks, loopers, you name it. Kanamincho is also the band's de facto producer with other band members making demos for her to formulate into the songs you hear on CD. Amazing lady of many talents. Sacramento loves Mincho.
*Ryan Mear* you got 70 notification on your TH-cam channel probably a lot more after this post. 🆗 When this song ended I heard the intro to *Puzzle* another great song of *BAND-MAID* Time to throw in the *DICE* and play some *BAND-MAID / DICE*
The breakdown is the sound made when a HUGE bulldozer hits a three engine locomotive head-on, then Kanami sets the wreckage on fire with her blistering solo. The MAIDS emerge from out of the still burning pile of twisted, scorched metal and invite us all over for a sing-a-long around the conflagration. They brought marshmallows! Thanks mucho Ryan!
BAND-MAID so good, when It rains God's crying to "Puzzle" acoustic. When it's sunny God's smiling to "Freedom" & when a volcano erupts God's watching a whole B-M show :)
I so want to experience this song live! Just Bring it was the first album they had (almost?) total creative control over. They purposely incorporated such singalongs so that non-Japanese speaking fans could participate in their live concerts. How can you not love them?
I'm an old rocker and that drop really takes me back to early Black Sabbath! Band-Maids ability to have great driving rock songs with a catchy sing along is quite unique.
A song from a band-made legendary live performance. If you know the lyrics written by Miku, you will love it more. Google Translate of Japanese lyrics. Song: BAND-MAID Lyrics: Miku Kobato Composition: BAND-MAID I don't know. I don't get it. Excuse me just because of the person Place to Place anywhere Repeat the same diction I say I'm an adult Where is the borderline? Control yourself Endured Don't dilly-dally. Alone There is no time to spare What I saw that day Cut open even if wrong You have to make up your mind. Confused answer Hide For all that still I cheated so as not to lose I'm joking. Laugh away If you can do something that wasn't there I wish Don't dilly-dally. Give up Shake off tears Happiness to grab someday Believe and start running Desire, attachment, nobody's eyes Rolling reality and fantasy lost Don't dilly-dally. Alone There is no time to spare What I saw that day Cut open even if wrong Don't dilly-dally. I gave up Shake off tears Happiness to grab someday Believe and start running Don't dilly-dally.
😎always on 🔥 Kanami is a riff machine btw and when she's on stage she's not the same Kanami instead of evil Mincho😈..offstage 😇.. onstage😈 while holding her PRS..thanks for the reaction...love it
This song to me is a little bit of Motorhead, a little Corrosion of Conformity, a dash of like White Zombie all perfectly constructed and adapted by the most talented musicians to ever occupy the same stage.
Exactly, this is as close to "showing off" as you will see from Band-Maid. So much happening in one song and it is a "live" performance. Just sheer genius in composition and execution, Band-Maid "IS" a genre.. Po!
If there was an award for most badass use of the phrase "don't dilly-dally" BM would win hands down.... next you should listen to "Puzzle" live from this same show - it immediately follows Moritorium and you can actually hear them leading into it at the end of this video - another one of their best and together with Moritorium provides probably the best 10 minutes of live music you'll ever hear.
Aaah Moratorium :) Off the Zepp DVD. Can't go wrong with that show's set. Everything on that DVD is pure gold. That DVD also has acoustic versions of 2 songs. Anemone and Puzzle. I actually play Anemone with Kelly, my duet partner all the time.. I love those 2 songs.
This song still gives me full body chills even after listening to over 100x times already. One of my favorite Band-Maid songs. MISA's bass line in this song and this version specifically is so fucking THICCCCCCC. Yeah, this song is undeniably Band-Maid. They've done such an amazing job of cultivating their own sound. Miku, in a recent interview, stated that one of her main goals is to create a genre of music called Band-Maid. She and the band don't want to be put into any other category but their own. They've done an amazing job so far of accomplishing that. :)
This concert is a flamethrower. Watch Take me higher, Saiki looks like her veins in her neck will explode and Kanami has these funky fuzz solos. The entire show blows me away every time.
I was just thinking that it’s not only time for Puzzle, it’s also time for Blooming. Blooming has the advantage of being on their official YT channel, and is top-tier Band Maid. I doubt anyone would argue that.
I've made up my mind! More Band Maid! The best use of the term "Dilly Dally", ever! What a break down in this song, a little of everything! Band Maid doing Band Maid things!
Such intellegent song writing from these women. I know Kanami does the bulk of it but the others contribute too. How can anyone not fall in love with them.
The Zepp show is definitely their best concert as far as the mix is concerned. Moratorium is an incredible song. The live version of Puzzle (Not the acoustic) from this show with blow your frickin mind. That was the start of it at the end. Kanami's playing reached all new heights in that one. She goes all out from beginning to end.
Ah yes, the Tiny Hat Era of Band Maid. I remember it well. Don't you tell me it might take me higher or turn me on, I might become cross. Is it an endless story, a puzzle , a play on words, or just fate?
@@rossmudie9298 Sometimes there is a thrill, or maybe a certain freedom with the onset of a time of daydreaming. It can be a little awkward alone, but it will be okay.
@@saikisfang9339 dont you tell me but i wanted to do something different today so i went for a summer drive to visit big dad, he's turned a new page and decided he wants to carry on living and stop screaming at yuragu? 😂 Said he was lokking forward to some order, life was like rolling a dice.
This whole show is just killer! After this song they go into Puzzle, one of their true masterpiece songs, I suggest you listen to it next! Also, talking about a band sounding different, but still like themselves, try "About Us". 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
This is the song that brought me to BAND MAID. This was on TH-cam 2 years ago. I was looking for something else and accidently fell on this song. I thought I was choosing something else! What is this?!?!?!?!?! I still to this day do not know what song I was trying to get to. If you have this concert you need to do the song Puzzle - the fantastically acoustic version - KANAMI sings! If you have the rock version as well you should do a back to back comparison. Save for the lyrics you would think they are 2 different songs.
Thanks for pointing out about Kanami. Right from the first time I heard her play I knew she had a different approach to her playing. Some credit to Carlos Santana, her guitar idol. And I am glad she doesn't compromise her sound and the way she plays. Bravo Kanami. IMO a very underrated guitarist.
I’ve always been impressed on how they bring in so many different influences in their songs yet keep their signature sound and keep it catchy. They are just next level.
Yet another Band maid favorite... They have so many great songs.. Can't get enough... :) Another great reaction Ryan thanks for sharing.. Best wishes from France..
Great reaction. Oh man, you've got to react to the next song that followed in this performance - Puzzle! (It's also on bilibili.) If you like AC/DC, then you'll probably like Puzzle as well (one of the best songs they've written imho). Thank for the Band-Maid reaction - I really enjoyed it. (Also on bilibili, you'll find Awkward from the same live performance - it's a mid-tempo song that I discovered when first encountering the band; it quickly sold me on their incredible creativity - as a band. I think you'd love it.)
You've taken Kanami's rule on solo's, keeping us wanting more. I really wish they would re-release these two concert DVD's, they have the best sound of all their concerts.
I bought it off ebay recently, but I’d buy it again off the official website just to support the band. I’d give the extra copy to a friend who needs Band Maid in their life!
So f@#$% good! This song and 'Puzzle' were my introduction to BAND-MAID. Life's been better, more complete ever since then. Thank you BAND-MAID And thanks Ryan for taking me back to the day I found true love. Rock on
Its a bass...its a maid...its MISA !!! 🤟😻 miku's distortion on point as well...tq mr. Ryan 🙏🏿 btw how's your elbow ?? Stay safe n stay healthy everyone
When i listen to Kanami i hear all sort of sounds, in this i even got a bit of old black sabbath coming through Megadeath all sorts i do know the Japanese have and use some different scales I'm learning the Hirajoshi scale at the moment Saki from Nemo as well plays from and mix up sounds. Our western rock is generally pentatonic based these girls seem to have a better knowledge of there instruments and how to get unique sounds out of them and mix the best of them together .
@@SteveBalderrama When that breakdown came I thought of Black Sabbath. Not for the riff itself, but the heaviness of it. It brought to mind Heaven and Hell and Sign of the Southern Cross. Heavy and crunchy. Soundgarden drew as much from Black Sabbath as they did Led Zeppelin.
A great live performance which got the desired response! Yes, I also love the transition from one of their heaviest passages into one of their popiest, complete with synths and gang vocal singalong. A true Band Maid moment.
The "A" and Pre-chorus riffs are indicative of "Peace Sells" and "Sweating Bullets". Not really in the note choices or chords, but in overall feel. Minchu is a legit beast of a songwriter. If you're gonna borrow from an idea, borrow from the best. You: How many styles can you put in one song? Minchu: All of them!
@@RyanMear Well "Good Mourning..." is on Peace Sells. But I'm not hearing it. Did you mean the 3:00 mark of "Good Mourning/Black Friday"? The galloping swing bit? Maybe if it (GM/BF) was played more straight, they would sound closer. But I still feel it's closer to Peace Sells. But that's also part of Kanami's brilliance of being able to take influence without being derivative.
"Sound brutal", the sound is way better than youtube sound... i m glad u found this video. only true BandMaid fan will make effort & find this gem =) Nex song ... is "Puzzle"
Thank you Ryan, love this song. A favorite, this and Puzzle still my favs. Kanami is so incredible. Love her compositions. And the crowd here. Kanami has said Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton are big influences on her. And the beautiful tribute tweet she wrote for Eddie Van Halen, praising his phrasing and tapping, you find he’s a huge influence.
BAND-MAID is always great with their uncompromising songwriting and performance. And not only that, their performance makes us very happy every time. And what makes us even happier is that a great reactor like you gives us the opportunity to enjoy their greatness together. Thank you so much, Ryan. Please try "Alone" next time. This is the first song they have written and composed. I was immediately captivated by their talent and Kanami's amazing solo. Also, don't miss "Blooming" (the arrangement is perverse) and "YOLO" (your heart will be kidnapped). All songs are available on the official page.
My favourite Band-Maid song! Thanks for reviewing! If you can find the song Awkward, there are so many really cool riff changes in it. Each one could be it's own song, but of course, that is a Band-Maid trademark po.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 my #2 favorite B-M song. You need to check out the Live version of Don't You Tell Me because of the great "conversation " between Misa and Kanami with Akane keeping those 2 moving along and then Puzzle (electric and acoustic versions) You will not be disappointed. 😉🤙🏼
Love this older Band-Maid! Clean, clear and perfectly balanced so you can hear each instrument. Talent is undeniable! Thank you for reacting to this video. Pigeons will save the world! PO!
Those drums... Akane! 🤘🙂🤘🥁 And how good are these transitions! For something a little different try their song "Wonderland" Live, it's on their channel! Also you gonna have to do "Daydreaming", it's a masterpiece! 🙂
Definitely one of my favs from Bandmaid. Puzzle from the same show is killer as well. As NEM said below, it has killer guitar riffs all through the song.
Recently on the Band-Maid reddit page people were asked to list their 5 favorite Band-Maid songs. Out of 90 people who submitted a list, 83 songs were mentioned at least once as a top 5 song for someone. You have already heard the #4, 5, and 10 most mentioned songs. Manners, Moratorium, and Domination. The other most mentioned favorites were 1) Daydreaming 2) Puzzle 3) Blooming 6) anemone 7) secret My lips 8) alone 9 ) Giovanni All except Puzzle have either an MV or audio track on the band's TH-cam channel.
Love the timing. Hard-rock, metal, grunge...all in one. The second singalong after break-down solo is almost proggy... that's the song that sealed the deal for me.
Kobato's guitar on this one sounds like the end of the world. It's like the whole band just went "well, we have every distortion ever created at our feet, fuck it, let's use it!" even during the pop sounding chorus Saiki is surfing on pure aggression coming from the instruments. This song is so great, I'm glad you found it! During the solo it sounds like Misa is playing on the cables of a suspension bridge. It's scary how thick she sounds!
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! thanks for finding there older stuff from the Zepp Concert , if you can fine the song Turn Me On from the same concert its a great one .
They play around with so many genre,s ,its what they do,and thats why i love them,try there so called ballad,Daydreaming,,its a masterpiece,keep them coming Ryan,really enjoy your reactions.
3:15 is the moment when I firmly believe Kanami rocked so hard that she tore through the fabric of reality, reached out into another dimension and channeled Dimebag for the breakdown and solo. This stuff would not be out of place on a Pantera album.
Give Band Maids "Take Me Higher" live a listen next, its a banger!! I watch all my Band Maid reactions from you now, I like your take on these fine ladies.
So happy you reacted to this. this was my choice in your recent poll :) now onto Puzzle, Puzzle (acoustic) and Don't you tell ME live . P.S i checked out your album and really enjoyed. many sweet guitar licks and i loved the laid back funky southern rock sounds. I hope everyone else checks it out....parts made me think of Carlos Santana, ZZ top and Lynyrd Skynyrd plus the vocals are great. good album for cruising down the road with the top down ot any other time for that matter. cheers
Ryan! When they played at small venues overseas Kanami was adding a long and crazy solo, especially the one recorded in Bochum, Germany! I wish she could do the same at big live venues! Collective insanity guaranteed! Let's come together right down here, let's come down together..... I'm 73 and I intend to spend my few years left in their full study and support! I am not a crazy geezer, I am just enjoying myself! Loads of thanks to you as usual, mate! Robert-Gilles
thanks for the video, and btw hey since you are aware of Bilibili, I hope you can react to Band-Maid's "Without Holding Back" it is a great instrumental song you can find there (it used to be on youtube but not anymore).
Just one of my 90 favorite Band-Maid songs! But seriously, when I first heard this I was seriously shook. Even after all the stuff that they've done since, this is monumental. Nice reaction.
Since you're watching stuff from bilibili, you need to check out Take Me Higher live, and Don't You Tell Me live. I think they were from the same concert but not sure.
I just today dug up the Zepp show video and was cranking those two on my main media system ( 300 watts old school high current power into big ass Infinitys). It was glorious. Those are two of my favorite BM songs, just great old school rockers.
You have to listen to more songs from this concert, it was so good! I'm going to recommend Puzzle (live) from this concert. You can find it on Bilibili. (There's also an acoustic version of Puzzle if you want to do a 2 in 1 reaction, but that's up to you).
Ryan, you've touched on this in the past, but I think it just dawned on me. Each one of these ladies brings "just the right amount" of their individual talents as it's needed. Sure, Kanami, Akane, Misa, could all go off on a huge showcase of their skills, but they never do. Our little Miku brings just the right amount of Miku. Saiki, she never strays from the piece at hand. Never tries to be Mariah Carey or Whtiney Houston, she just brings the right amount. They bring to each track just the right amount of themselves. Band-maid would not be Band-Maid without each one of them. I could go on and on but I'm bringing just the right amount.
I was just thinking to myself, "You know who would like this song? Gary Holloway. Maybe Dave and Curtis and Uncle C, hell, even Xagor. Yep, could be wrong, it's just a guess, but I bet they'll like it.
I had the same thoughts about Kanami, she doesn’t remind me of any other guitarist, then to find out she’s the composer of the band!! Dude, her music skills are nothing short of being genius!!
Maybe i’ve never thought about it before but I can’t think of another guitar player who so relentlessly does interesting, and diverse, work throughout entire songs.

Don't dilly dally. Small pigeon says so. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
*Ryan Mear* you got 70 notification on your TH-cam channel probably a lot more after this post. 🆗
When this song ended I heard the intro to *Puzzle* another great song of *BAND-MAID*
Time to throw in the *DICE* and play some *BAND-MAID / DICE*
The breakdown is the sound made when a HUGE bulldozer hits a three engine locomotive head-on, then Kanami sets the wreckage on fire with her blistering solo. The MAIDS emerge from out of the still burning pile of twisted, scorched metal and invite us all over for a sing-a-long around the conflagration. They brought marshmallows! Thanks mucho Ryan!
Well it's about time somebody ended the moratorium on Moratorium!
Love this show, after Moratorium finishes, you can already hear Puzzle starting.
i agree Patrick Ibasco...Puzzle one of my favourite from them
and you find yourself wanting for it to continue
Mincho is a genius riff-master/composer/arranger.
That's it. That's the whole post.
;-)
FUCK YEAH......SHE IS SO TALENTED.....THANKS MIKU FOR FINDING KANAMICHAN
...and right after this song they start up their best version of their best song...well one of the best songs. Puzzle. You must react to that!
BAND-MAID so good, when It rains God's crying to "Puzzle" acoustic. When it's sunny God's smiling to "Freedom" & when a volcano erupts God's watching a whole B-M show :)
I may be wrong but I think you have more quotes then Kanami has riffs in her database. Love it.
And when God takes a pee break, BAND-MAID plays NO GOD
💯🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@jkkansasband7056 💯% agree
When Gary runs out of quotes, BM releases a new album for more inspiration.
I so want to experience this song live! Just Bring it was the first album they had (almost?) total creative control over. They purposely incorporated such singalongs so that non-Japanese speaking fans could participate in their live concerts. How can you not love them?
That song that was starting next in the vid is "Puzzle" which you should also check out...
YES. Kanami is a a riff machine in that song.
Yes, puzzle
Oh.. im getting there
Wonder how they put all those pieces together to complete the puzzle :D
I'm an old rocker and that drop really takes me back to early Black Sabbath!
Band-Maids ability to have great driving rock songs with a catchy sing along is quite unique.
The Megadeth song it reminded me of was "Good Mourning/Black Friday" the middle transition part to Black Friday
I hope that you can find " Don't You Tell Me" one of the best call and response between bass and lead that I have ever heard. Peace
Band-Maid are geniuses in action, all of them!!!
A song from a band-made legendary live performance. If you know the lyrics written by Miku, you will love it more.
Google Translate of Japanese lyrics.
Song: BAND-MAID
Lyrics: Miku Kobato
Composition: BAND-MAID
I don't know. I don't get it.
Excuse me just because of the person
Place to Place anywhere
Repeat the same diction
I say I'm an adult
Where is the borderline?
Control yourself
Endured
Don't dilly-dally. Alone
There is no time to spare
What I saw that day
Cut open even if wrong
You have to make up your mind.
Confused answer Hide
For all that still
I cheated so as not to lose
I'm joking.
Laugh away
If you can do something that wasn't there
I wish
Don't dilly-dally. Give up
Shake off tears
Happiness to grab someday
Believe and start running
Desire, attachment, nobody's eyes
Rolling reality and fantasy
lost
Don't dilly-dally. Alone
There is no time to spare
What I saw that day
Cut open even if wrong
Don't dilly-dally. I gave up
Shake off tears
Happiness to grab someday
Believe and start running
Don't dilly-dally.
No matter how many times you hear Band-Maid songs each time you re-hear them they are still Fresh!

A great live performance which got the desired response! Yes, I also love the transition from one of their heaviest passages into one of their popiest, complete with synths and gang vocal singalong. A true Band Maid moment.
I forgot, another group you might be interested in is Sokoninaru (3 member group).
The "A" and Pre-chorus riffs are indicative of "Peace Sells" and "Sweating Bullets". Not really in the note choices or chords, but in overall feel. Minchu is a legit beast of a songwriter. If you're gonna borrow from an idea, borrow from the best.
You: How many styles can you put in one song?
Minchu: All of them!
Actually it was "Good Mourning/Black Friday... the part where it changes at 3 minutes.
@@RyanMear Well "Good Mourning..." is on Peace Sells. But I'm not hearing it. Did you mean the 3:00 mark of "Good Mourning/Black Friday"? The galloping swing bit? Maybe if it (GM/BF) was played more straight, they would sound closer. But I still feel it's closer to Peace Sells. But that's also part of Kanami's brilliance of being able to take influence without being derivative.
Yeah, her riff reminded me of RIGHT at 3:00 minutes! You don't hear that?! Lol... to each ears his own!
Probably my favorite BAND-MAID song! Excellent reaction as always.
One of my favorite band maid songs👍
It's a pity that TH-cam put down their 2018 Zepp Tokyo live concert performances.....
Daydreaming for a Saiki showcase with a tasty Kanami solo, Don’t You Tell Me (live) for Misa vs. Kanami
"Sound brutal", the sound is way better than youtube sound...
i m glad u found this video. only true BandMaid fan will make effort & find this gem =)
Nex song ... is "Puzzle"
Thank you Ryan, love this song. A favorite, this and Puzzle still my favs. Kanami is so incredible. Love her compositions. And the crowd here. Kanami has said Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton are big influences on her. And the beautiful tribute tweet she wrote for Eddie Van Halen, praising his phrasing and tapping, you find he’s a huge influence.
BAND-MAID is always great with their uncompromising songwriting and performance. And not only that, their performance makes us very happy every time. And what makes us even happier is that a great reactor like you gives us the opportunity to enjoy their greatness together. Thank you so much, Ryan.
Please try "Alone" next time. This is the first song they have written and composed. I was immediately captivated by their talent and Kanami's amazing solo. Also, don't miss "Blooming" (the arrangement is perverse) and "YOLO" (your heart will be kidnapped). All songs are available on the official page.
My favourite Band-Maid song! Thanks for reviewing! If you can find the song Awkward, there are so many really cool riff changes in it. Each one could be it's own song, but of course, that is a Band-Maid trademark po.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 my #2 favorite B-M song. You need to check out the Live version of Don't You Tell Me because of the great "conversation " between Misa and Kanami with Akane keeping those 2 moving along and then Puzzle (electric and acoustic versions) You will not be disappointed. 😉🤙🏼
Love this older Band-Maid! Clean, clear and perfectly balanced so you can hear each instrument. Talent is undeniable! Thank you for reacting to this video. Pigeons will save the world! PO!
Those drums... Akane! 🤘🙂🤘🥁 And how good are these transitions!
For something a little different try their song "Wonderland" Live, it's on their channel!
Also you gonna have to do "Daydreaming", it's a masterpiece! 🙂
MISA! MISA! MISA!
One of My favorite performances from the Ladies!! Loved it!
More Band Maid Always!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Definitely one of my favs from Bandmaid. Puzzle from the same show is killer as well. As NEM said below, it has killer guitar riffs all through the song.
Recently on the Band-Maid reddit page people were asked to list their 5 favorite Band-Maid songs. Out of 90 people who submitted a list, 83 songs were mentioned at least once as a top 5 song for someone.
You have already heard the #4, 5, and 10 most mentioned songs. Manners, Moratorium, and Domination.
The other most mentioned favorites were 1) Daydreaming 2) Puzzle 3) Blooming 6) anemone 7) secret My lips 8) alone 9 ) Giovanni
All except Puzzle have either an MV or audio track on the band's TH-cam channel.
Hell yeah!
Moratorium and Nonfiction day is my hype music
MISA MISA MISA! hard to believe this was filmed nearly 4 years (Nov 24th 2017) ago
Puzzle next! (from the same concert, naturally)
Love the timing. Hard-rock, metal, grunge...all in one. The second singalong after break-down solo is almost proggy... that's the song that sealed the deal for me.
Kobato's guitar on this one sounds like the end of the world. It's like the whole band just went "well, we have every distortion ever created at our feet, fuck it, let's use it!" even during the pop sounding chorus Saiki is surfing on pure aggression coming from the instruments. This song is so great, I'm glad you found it!
During the solo it sounds like Misa is playing on the cables of a suspension bridge. It's scary how thick she sounds!
And yet, in this aggression fest, they leave a part for the fans to oh-oh-oh away with the singers. How can anyone not love this band?
I just wish they would mix her a bit higher, all their concert vids have Kobato lower than I would like in the mix.
I agree
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! thanks for finding there older stuff from the Zepp Concert , if you can fine the song Turn Me On from the same concert its a great one .
They play around with so many genre,s ,its what they do,and thats why i love them,try there so called ballad,Daydreaming,,its a masterpiece,keep them coming Ryan,really enjoy your reactions.
3:15 is the moment when I firmly believe Kanami rocked so hard that she tore through the fabric of reality, reached out into another dimension and channeled Dimebag for the breakdown and solo. This stuff would not be out of place on a Pantera album.
Give Band Maids "Take Me Higher" live a listen next, its a banger!! I watch all my Band Maid reactions from you now, I like your take on these fine ladies.
So happy you reacted to this. this was my choice in your recent poll :) now onto Puzzle, Puzzle (acoustic) and Don't you tell ME live . P.S i checked out your album and really enjoyed. many sweet guitar licks and i loved the laid back funky southern rock sounds. I hope everyone else checks it out....parts made me think of Carlos Santana, ZZ top and Lynyrd Skynyrd plus the vocals are great. good album for cruising down the road with the top down ot any other time for that matter. cheers
Puzzle is on the horizon, trust me.
Thank you so much, just for checking it out and for thre GREAT compliments!
Hell, why use 1 Riff like most bands, let's throw in 3 or 4 just to raise the difficulty level. So damn good
Ryan!
When they played at small venues overseas Kanami was adding a long and crazy solo, especially the one recorded in Bochum, Germany!
I wish she could do the same at big live venues!
Collective insanity guaranteed!
Let's come together right down here, let's come down together.....
I'm 73 and I intend to spend my few years left in their full study and support!
I am not a crazy geezer, I am just enjoying myself!
Loads of thanks to you as usual, mate!
Robert-Gilles
thanks for the video, and btw hey since you are aware of Bilibili, I hope you can react to Band-Maid's "Without Holding Back" it is a great instrumental song you can find there (it used to be on youtube but not anymore).
everyone misses when they came back into the rift saiki was holding a note so miku sang the part till saiki took back over. it was flawless
Just one of my 90 favorite Band-Maid songs! But seriously, when I first heard this I was seriously shook. Even after all the stuff that they've done since, this is monumental. Nice reaction.
Next Clang Yeah 🤘
Band Maid 👐
Good to see more people finding ways, around the system, to listen to the songs and vids TH-cam took down.
Wow,,,,, Who are these girls, awesome
Band Maid doing Band Maid things, is there anything better?
Please do Puzzle, you will flip out over the riff barrage and main solo!!
Since you're watching stuff from bilibili, you need to check out Take Me Higher live, and Don't You Tell Me live. I think they were from the same concert but not sure.
I just today dug up the Zepp show video and was cranking those two on my main media system ( 300 watts old school high current power into big ass Infinitys). It was glorious. Those are two of my favorite BM songs, just great old school rockers.
If I can add to your Band-Maid list; check out Awkward. It’s an older song but - wow!!! Thanks again for the reaction.
Kanami doesn't sound like anyone else because she's a genius.
You have to listen to more songs from this concert, it was so good! I'm going to recommend Puzzle (live) from this concert. You can find it on Bilibili. (There's also an acoustic version of Puzzle if you want to do a 2 in 1 reaction, but that's up to you).
Ryan, you've touched on this in the past, but I think it just dawned on me. Each one of these ladies brings "just the right amount" of their individual talents as it's needed. Sure, Kanami, Akane, Misa, could all go off on a huge showcase of their skills, but they never do. Our little Miku brings just the right amount of Miku. Saiki, she never strays from the piece at hand. Never tries to be Mariah Carey or Whtiney Houston, she just brings the right amount. They bring to each track just the right amount of themselves. Band-maid would not be Band-Maid without each one of them. I could go on and on but I'm bringing just the right amount.
I was just thinking to myself, "You know who would like this song? Gary Holloway. Maybe Dave and Curtis and Uncle C, hell, even Xagor. Yep, could be wrong, it's just a guess, but I bet they'll like it.
Crabuki, hate to tell you this but I don't like this song, I LOVE IT! And if anyone bet against you, they'd end up in the poor house 🤣
@@xagorvangard 4th pint & pie otherwise I would have missed this reaction :)
G.G can you read people's minds or is it your 2 brains that gives you the advantage?
Not taking that bet :p
Hey, head overt to discord, I have a Ryan Mear Reacts channel there. Several of the regulars are there and discussion FREEDOM!
u have to see either spirit of clang live
those mixes are insanely good
