not just Rob Zombie, but also Korn, Metallica, Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rob Halford of Priest as well many other big names all love them so it's pretty safe to say they are legit
Let’s not forget Mike Portnoy declaring _Tales of the Destinies_ to be, in his own words “full on prog metal!” Very high praise, indeed, from someone who definitely knows prog metal.
Hell Dragonforce Force helped record Road of Resistance and performed it with them at a festival. Herman Li also talks about them a couple times on the Dragonforce YT Channel
I have been hearing people say they are a "gimmick" for ten years. If that is true then that is one hell of a gimmick. I have seen them live and everyone gets into it, it was so great. Can't wait to see them again.
Great reaction. Some people were just confused early on - BABYMETAL was not gimmicky, they were simply like nothing they'd ever seen or heard, something new, different and unique.
They are pretty much the future. They tour Asia with Metalica and Slipknot. They are featured on the Bring Me the Horizon song called "KingSlayer". They performed on-stage at the AMA's with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. It doesn't get any more metal than that.
This wasn't even the encore to this show. There were two songs to go. Both epic in their own fashion. Su had just turned sixteen the day before and Moa nd Yui were fourteen. AND they hadn't even released their first album yet. Just a few videos. This is the song that made me sit back and think, "I might need to look deeper into this band." So glad I did. This is MY kind of 'gimmick.' Hideki Aoyama should insure his legs for billions of dollars. Kitsune up!
Yes!!!! These young ladies are freaking amazing!! They are monsters on stage.... but so cute and sweet and tiny off stage and in interviews.... LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
@Xander Strickland I misspoke. It would have been better to say that this wasn't the last song. The encore was technically five songs long. My bad. My point of there being two more excellent songs left still stands. Peace
I liked your comment "Controlled Chaos" Spot on. Im an old Rock/Metal Drummer and absolutely loving this. The skill and production is awesome. Its extremely rehearsed but, it doesnt feel/look that it is.. Cheers.
seeing you bobbing your head left and right to the rhythm of this Babymetal song is brighten my day ❤️🔥 and thanks for appreciating their hardwork and talent
You weren't lying when you said you fell in love with BabyMetal, i really appreciate honest statement back it up with more frequency on reactions and you mean it. Love that ❤️ Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! is one BM fans favorite and got special meaning too. Song is about a 15 years old girl celebrating her birthday going to her first live concert, probably metal, while having melancholy for leaving her childhood behind. Isn't about any of our girls but they embraced this song like it was made for them, you'll find many special versions of this, even when they celebrate their 20th Birthday. 15 is an important coming of age for Japanese girls, 20 is another important date. This was at Legend 1997 in 2013 celebrating SuMetal 16th Birthday, and the whole concert was special, if you want to know the rest of the songs finishing this, those are: - "Akatsuki" Unfinished Version, a beautiful SuMetal solo version with only a piano behind, the original song is a power/speed metal balad - "Babymetal Death", be ready for this insane ending, The live concert and also this song got plenty of tributes to the greatest metal bands, like Metallica and X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The official MV is also creepy for some fans, so you weren't the first one noticing about that, I guess the organ gave that effect, you'll also see the neckbrace there which is a tribute to Yoshiki from X-Japan. The Kami Band here are glorious set of elite musicians whom were send to help with the metal sound, they rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (especially the guitarrists). They are: - Míkio Fujioka, god of guitar, a beloved member, sadly he passed away in 2018. R.I.P. - Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording some albums. - BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but her fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP. You can see at the end (when SuMetal is crawling to upstairs) his head got written "Happy Birthday". - Hideki Aoyama,, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father is very famous in Japan music scene. I would love if you can go with the rest of the songs of this special live concert but if you want another song that ranks high as a favorite you can watch "Megitsune" official MV, of course live performance is even better but the MV shows all the Japanese elements this song got and our girls looking so young here gives you a good dose of kawaiiness. UwU Keep binging with BM songs and enjoy the ride into the Foxhole. See you! 🦊🤘❤️
I always find it rather funny how people like to equate being a "gimmick" as to be the opposite of being talented/good, especially in the music industry.... Sometimes a gimmick is whats needed to break the mold, look at KISS and Slipknot, though they might not be considered gimmick now, but their whole presentation and look was can definitely be seen as a gimmick when it started.... Babymetal is definitely a gimmick, but more than that, it was a handcrafted supergroup. The producer Koba, wanted to refresh the metal scene, so he found the best young talented vocalist he can find (Su) and paired her with her two friends (Yui and Moa) who would be backup singers/dancers/hypewomen to get the crowd involved, and then found the best session musicians in Japan to form the Kamiband to back them up in live shows.... If you look at the some of the best guitarist, bassist, drummers in Japans rock/metal and even Jazz scene, you would find some of them have played in the Kamiband at one time or another. Babymetal definitely kicked open the door for all the recent female Japanese metal/rock bands that has been flooding TH-cam in recent years..... I think Saki from Nemophila said in interview that Babymetal's success is what paved the road for female jrock/metal groups to have greater recognition overseas. And Babymetal is not what you would consider to be a traditional band... Lovebite, Band Maid, Aldious, TriDENT those are bands but Babymetal is a rock opera broadway show. Legend 1997, incidently the show you're watching (not the year the concert was held, but the bday concert of Su who was born in 1997) and Legend S XX Baptism are the best examples of the rock show aspect of Babymetal. Babymetal's metal creds were in question when they started, but having been defended, supported, toured with, and/or collaborated by the likes of Rob Zombie, Cory Taylor, Rob Halford, Red Hot Chili Pepper, Metallica, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, their Metal cred is only questioned by a very small minority. Have fun exploring the rest of their stuff. I'm sure the fans will send you a lot more suggestions. And ofcourse you had a great view of Su's famous Death Stare when she raised her mic.... I personally think she had the glare going extra strong cuz all she got to do was hold the mic, while Yui and Moa got to play with Cryo guns. 😁😁😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 Even though Su has a beautiful soprano voice, I love that she sings a lot of this one in a lower register. That always sounds great. 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' was one of their early hits. I was thrilled when it came back on the setlist in 2019. This is from the same concert as the official video for 'Gimme Chocolate!!', Legend "1997" from December 21st, 2013, just a day after Su's sixteenth birthday. (1997 was her year of birth) After the first nine songs with the Babybones pretending to play, the encore featured five songs with live backing from the Kami Band, including this one. The song is about a girl taking the train to see her first heavy concert on her fifteenth birthday, so it's something Su could relate to, while not being about her specifically. She was only fourteen when this song was first recorded in 2012.
Whenever who was really enjoying BabyMetal, I clicked subscribe right away. Because that means our souls belong to the same superior level of more advanced and higher grand dimension 😁 Welcome to the amazing Foxhole, you have become part of "The One" 🦊🔥
Not sure if someone touched on this before, so I'll mention it (again?). The gong at the end, as well as the half-mic stand are tributes to the band Queen and their front man, Freddie Mercury, who notoriously used a half-mic stand during all their performances. The gong is a tribute to the end of their most popular song "Bohemian Rhapsody" where a gong is struck as the very final part of the song. I'm shocked you didn't comment about Su's death glare during the breakdown as Moa and Yui used the smoke cannons. Many people have flinched even at the video of it because she does that glare so well! This is consistently up there in the conversation for people's favorite BABYMETAL song, however a lot of people have the same issue where they can't actually put songs in any true order because it almost feels like you're insulting the other songs by ranking them lower. Even their less popular songs are still incredibly good, but so many are just next-level, it's amazing to witness.
Babymetal is pure fun. And the energy at their shows is absolutely bonkers... By the way..."Babymetal = controlled chaos"...spot on 😄 👍 Welcome to "The One"
Su is such an awesome magical frontwoman; she has the crowd in the palm of her hand, often just by a move of her eyes, a tilt of the head.. and that for a teenager is astonishing. (btw, love the blue hair... or is it green; my old eyes cannot tell)
I love watching your reactions to Baby Metal!!! I love seeing the joyous expression on your face! This is the first BM video I watched about two years ago and have been completely hooked ever since. These beautiful and talented young ladies have obviously worked their butts off to get to this performance level. Everyone involved deserves kudos. They definitely caught lightening in a bottle!! Please check out KARATE official music video; i like it better than live version imho
It's such fun to jump down the foxhole. Babymetal use so many influences from around the world, which keeps all their songs different). Here are my recommendations: Yava (live) - (one of Su's favourites to sing, great band solos intro, with ska influences). Kagerou (live) - (Awesome band solos intro when they toured USA with American backing band - the girls get their hard rock on) Megitsune (video) - Japanese folk influences Meta Taro (French military Band influences) Shanti Shanti Shanti (Bollywood influences) Pa Pa Ya (awesome ear worm) Karate (video, great visuals) BxMxC (video - it'll surprise you) Kingslayer (lyrics video - superb collaboration with Bring Me the Horizon) Oh Majinai (collaboration with Joakim Broken - European folk influences) I hope you manage to listen to them, even if its not for reactions.... enjoy! ;)
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。Can you believe that this is the 12th song after 11 exhausting performance (and still 2 more) ? In this video, you heard the crowd shout some words at 06:45. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!" (addressed to crybabies in the metal concert). This crowd's shout in Japanese occurs wherever BM goes on this planet and whenever Su-Metal turns her mic towards audiences. Of course it did in 2019 US tour (20 gigs) and 2020 EU/UK/Russia tour (17 gigs). Last year 2021, eight years after this video, BM played this song in all of 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN Concerts with Su's matured voice and Moa's more agitating moves. I witnessed it 9 times at the venue and was enchanted to headbang 9 times ヽ(^o^)丿
Babymetal are so cool 😎🤘 It took me a while to finally listen to them but the moment I did I was super hooked right away. They have so many cool songs. "Gimme Chocolate" is a lot of fun. "Megitsune" or "Karate", as well. One of my favorites is a song from a collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon. Called "Kingslayer". It´s such a super catchy and awesome song 😁👍
I can't believe I first saw Babymetal back in 2014! They were just exploding in the western world with their Gimme Chocolate song (which is still so good lol). I've seen them 3 times, each time getting a bigger venue. First was 7th July 2014, The Forum in Kentish Town which is 2,300 capacity, then 8th Nov 2014 at Brixton Academy, just under 5000 capacity, and finally Wembley 2nd April 2016 with a 12,500 capacity. Pretty sure all these shows were sold out or very nearly sold out. Madness! There was also no support acts because they had to start early, like 7pm or something due to their age. The gigs ended at around 9pm, it was really weird.
Oh i almost forgot one of their best performances was - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. That is a set they got moved on to the main stage and amazed the crowd.
This song is about coming of age a young girl sneaks out to see a show on her own. The original two side singers or whatever they are each sang this in concert on their birthdays for a couple years till one quit for health I think. I think it was cool to give them their coming of age moments
Their real Gimmuck us to get People into Metal. In the beginning they were not inly his oerformers but his test cases. He observed every reaction of them. He showed them that quite many of their music stylen were in fact based on Metal (especially in japan). So he based everything on mixes of Suzukas loud voice with harder and harder music. And now she can handle anything. Her voice is simply higher than the Instruments. At that time she was nowhere their yet. But now they are the International most succesful japanese Band. And they have their own fans of about 40% female Fans and all ages between 5 and 85. In the beginning they wanted children in their show, but now they always have children in their show. No one dares to send children into metal concerts but if the parents want to go, especially to Babymetal , they want to be there to. And zhe Rest of the audience tries to self regulate accordingly. People are always so surprised about the interactions with the audience. They have two Names Moa and Momo. If they see that parts of the audience can not keep up they are there and try to help, they try to show you how to dance or what to help. And this works. I know when Moa fixated on us since zhere were several seats that were blocked by the location we started to sing for Our life in Roads of Resistance.
Great react again beauty for a great song and performance! Absolutely Amazing! No more words! Please react to Syncopation live, is simply perfect!! See you at the next, Megitsune!
Did not perfom this song for a while 2nd time i seen them they performed it . was awesome The bald headed guy in front did not bow to Su . He got a bit fed up as i kept slapping his head when i bowed 🤣🤘🦊🤘
Lol, the true sign they are on point. The audience being in the moment and chanting with them. And moving like they are. This song was actually what got me into them in the first place. Was just jamming the heck out to this song for awhile, its so good.
Discovered Babymetal 2 weeks ago I have listened to almost everything available!! There isn’t one song I don’t like!! 55 yr old metal head!! Can you imagine a collab with Godsmack or Disturbed!!
My favorites which I recommend are Megitsune(studio version), Karate(studio version) Ijime Dame Zettai(live at Download), Iine(studio because live doesn't have the rap breakdown), Shanti Shanti(any version) and Pa Pa Ya(official video) there are tons more but I recommend those for you to watch.😁
The music of Babymetal does not touches me as much as music from other artists, BUT i LOVE their energy! And the singer has a very cute and sweet voice.
I've always thought, that the metal heads that just, pushed this aside, ignored it, hated it, or didn't think it was, hrm, serious? Must have very cold hearts. Been a metal head since I was, 15? Babymetal was, is just kinda a breath of fresh fun air. Metal can be fun! It can be light hearted.
Came for the Metallica "One" reaction, stayed for the Babymetal material! Subscribed. 🤘 Can't wait for more! "Babymetal Death" is a great video to react to as well!
I feel like the kind of people that don't like Babymetal are the same ones that wouldn't like Electric Callboy and I just don't need those kind of people in my life hahaha
These girls are metal AF. I dont care what people think, its not their fault they are little girls with cute voices... thats anatomy not a choice. Look at them rock out. If people are hating because they dont want choreographed dancing in Metal... I mean, what even is that argument, who cares.
This is the song that made me a big fan of BM. I like the synthesizer arrangement, it's very sentimental. The lyrics are also sentimental, and I have taken an assuming arbitrarily that the song is about the youth of the girls who once enthusiastically followed the visual kei band 'X Japan', known as 'Bang gals'. The drummer is Hideki Aoyama, and his father Jun Aoyama was also a great drummer in the J pop scene(RIP). Thank you from Japan, moe moe ho!
In related, would like to namedrop PassCode, another Japanese alternative idol group who have one foot in metal. The other foot is in a wide variety of electronic music. They are a ton of fun, and do a really good job of mixing the two styles together. Would either recommend Freely with their new screamer Emily, or Taking You Out with the old screamer Yuna.
Su is one of the fiercest singer in history. Most other bands are fronted by wimps compared to her. I also love the manic pixie vibe Yui and Moa bring to the table.
I think you should try something "different" from BABYMETAL, specificly BLACK BABYMETAL maybe with "onedari daisakusen" or "Sis Anger" For the backstory about BLACK BABYMETAL, Yuimetal and Moametal have been wicked and blackened and now, they sing rap music.
a few years ago on MoA's 21th birthday they did a concert where MoA did sing the song and su did the support xD and moa blows u away by her singing and then u get instantly sad she never sings normaly xDD but i never saw a person smile bigger then moa when she startet singing in that video xD
Another great reaction. I love seeing peoples first reaction to Headbanger live…especially this version. You’re absolutely right, BabyMetal just makes you smile. :) Your next BabyMetal reaction should be of their song Karate live at download 2016. ♥️🖤😍
"Different", hai! Ground-breaking, hai! Innovative, hai! Entertaining & FUN, HAI!! Gimmicky? NFW. Everything my 50 years of listening to rock & metal basically required me to reject the very notion of BABYMETAL. On paper, this combination of styles seems to be nothing more than a silly idea. However, BABYMETAL is a perfect example of why its good to stay open-minded. Imagine never watching them because of pre-conceived ideas. What a shame that would be! Great reaction Aileen-Metal! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #metalAF
why su has that death glare: "i stand here holding this mircrophone like an idiot while those two get to play with those fog guns...." of course she would be pissed xD
You have some Babymetal, Band-Maid, and Lovebites under your belt but the band you're really missing out on is Nemophila. Check out "Dissension", "Oiran" (live at Naon Yaon 2021), or "Monsters". I think you'll love them.
Love it. This song was my reintroduction to BabyMetal a couple of years ago after brushing them off as just a gimmick quite a few years ago. When I heard this and actually paid attention to it properly is when I realised just how damn good not only the girls are, but how good the musicianship is too. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, but Alex Terrible has recently dropped two new covers you might want to check out. One is Infant Annihilator - Decapitation Fornication, and the other is his lyrics to Mick Gordon's Doom Eternal BFG Division that Alex calls his Demon vocal cover. Both are full of his usual intensity, with highs, lows, gutterals, and Alex Terrible low gutterals. lol Much love from Australia, and please keep the great reactions coming. You give me a brief distraction around 4am when my insomnia kicks my ass.
not just Rob Zombie, but also Korn, Metallica, Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rob Halford of Priest as well many other big names all love them so it's pretty safe to say they are legit
Let’s not forget Mike Portnoy declaring _Tales of the Destinies_ to be, in his own words “full on prog metal!” Very high praise, indeed, from someone who definitely knows prog metal.
Hell Dragonforce Force helped record Road of Resistance and performed it with them at a festival.
Herman Li also talks about them a couple times on the Dragonforce YT Channel
and both Joakim Broden (Sabaton), and Aliss White-Glutz (Arch Enemy) have been in their songs. Also corey had them in a song of his as well
Also also Tom Morello, an actual living legend, featuring on Metali, doing a fucking insane guitar part.
I have been hearing people say they are a "gimmick" for ten years. If that is true then that is one hell of a gimmick. I have seen them live and everyone gets into it, it was so great. Can't wait to see them again.
🤘🦊
lucky .
i kneel to yu
lmaoo ..... i hear anyone not like babymetal and i immidietly want war 😂
not really
Great reaction. Some people were just confused early on - BABYMETAL was not gimmicky, they were simply like nothing they'd ever seen or heard, something new, different and unique.
A Babymetal concert is hands-down the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
😂😂😂
BABYMETAL - Megitsune
This song is must see!!! You definitely must to watch that song! And of course live!
The level of professionalism of this girls,the band and the whole entourage is above anything out there….they’re immense
They are pretty much the future. They tour Asia with Metalica and Slipknot. They are featured on the Bring Me the Horizon song called "KingSlayer". They performed on-stage at the AMA's with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. It doesn't get any more metal than that.
And had the guitars in Road of Resistance recorded by the Dragonforce guitarists. Herman Li still talks about them
This wasn't even the encore to this show. There were two songs to go. Both epic in their own fashion.
Su had just turned sixteen the day before and Moa nd Yui were fourteen.
AND they hadn't even released their first album yet. Just a few videos.
This is the song that made me sit back and think, "I might need to look deeper into this band."
So glad I did. This is MY kind of 'gimmick.'
Hideki Aoyama should insure his legs for billions of dollars.
Kitsune up!
I think officially it was a 3 song encore. So this was the first song of the encore.
Yes!!!! These young ladies are freaking amazing!! They are monsters on stage.... but so cute and sweet and tiny off stage and in interviews.... LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
@Xander Strickland I misspoke. It would have been better to say that this wasn't the last song. The encore was technically five songs long.

Megitsune (video) - Japanese folk influences
Meta Taro (French military Band influences)
Shanti Shanti Shanti (Bollywood influences)
Pa Pa Ya (awesome ear worm)
Karate (video, great visuals)
BxMxC (video - it'll surprise you)
Kingslayer (lyrics video - superb collaboration with Bring Me the Horizon)
Oh Majinai (collaboration with Joakim Broken - European folk influences)
I hope you manage to listen to them, even if its not for reactions.... enjoy! ;)
Watch a video or clip featuring the band. They are fuckin FIRE
Name a single group who doesn't have a gimmick?
This reaction you had the best facial expressions I’ve seen to date👆🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥
Su's death stare could make Iron Maiden's Eddie cower back to into his grave... 🤘🦊
Try Paul Stanley "Kiss" & Sarah Brightman "I will be with you" :)
IT'S TIME TO REACT TO THIS MASTERPIECE: BABYMETAL | Akatsuki (Unfinished ver.) | LIVE at 'Legend 1997' (4K)
I love your reaction so much! You've earned a fan for life
Those dancers pump their fists (bang! bang!) like they’re throwing a fastball! I dislocated my shoulder just watching them.
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。Can you believe that this is the 12th song after 11 exhausting performance (and still 2 more) ? In this video, you heard the crowd shout some words at 06:45. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!" (addressed to crybabies in the metal concert). This crowd's shout in Japanese occurs wherever BM goes on this planet and whenever Su-Metal turns her mic towards audiences. Of course it did in 2019 US tour (20 gigs) and 2020 EU/UK/Russia tour (17 gigs). Last year 2021, eight years after this video, BM played this song in all of 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN Concerts with Su's matured voice and Moa's more agitating moves. I witnessed it 9 times at the venue and was enchanted to headbang 9 times ヽ(^o^)丿
Babymetal are so cool 😎🤘 It took me a while to finally listen to them but the moment I did I was super hooked right away.
They have so many cool songs. "Gimme Chocolate" is a lot of fun. "Megitsune" or "Karate", as well.
One of my favorites is a song from a collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon. Called "Kingslayer". It´s such a super catchy and awesome song 😁👍
I can't believe I first saw Babymetal back in 2014! They were just exploding in the western world with their Gimme Chocolate song (which is still so good lol). I've seen them 3 times, each time getting a bigger venue. First was 7th July 2014, The Forum in Kentish Town which is 2,300 capacity, then 8th Nov 2014 at Brixton Academy, just under 5000 capacity, and finally Wembley 2nd April 2016 with a 12,500 capacity. Pretty sure all these shows were sold out or very nearly sold out. Madness! There was also no support acts because they had to start early, like 7pm or something due to their age. The gigs ended at around 9pm, it was really weird.
Controlled Chaos? that is how i described to my mother my room when i was a teenager😂. I looooove Babymetal and Su-Metal. She is and they are great!!!
Oh i almost forgot one of their best performances was - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. That is a set they got moved on to the main stage and amazed the crowd.
This song is about coming of age a young girl sneaks out to see a show on her own. The original two side singers or whatever they are each sang this in concert on their birthdays for a couple years till one quit for health I think. I think it was cool to give them their coming of age moments
Their real Gimmuck us to get People into Metal. In the beginning they were not inly his oerformers but his test cases. He observed every reaction of them. He showed them that quite many of their music stylen were in fact based on Metal (especially in japan). So he based everything on mixes of Suzukas loud voice with harder and harder music. And now she can handle anything. Her voice is simply higher than the Instruments. At that time she was nowhere their yet. But now they are the International most succesful japanese Band. And they have their own fans of about 40% female Fans and all ages between 5 and 85. In the beginning they wanted children in their show, but now they always have children in their show. No one dares to send children into metal concerts but if the parents want to go, especially to Babymetal , they want to be there to. And zhe Rest of the audience tries to self regulate accordingly.
People are always so surprised about the interactions with the audience. They have two Names Moa and Momo. If they see that parts of the audience can not keep up they are there and try to help, they try to show you how to dance or what to help. And this works. I know when Moa fixated on us since zhere were several seats that were blocked by the location we started to sing for Our life in Roads of Resistance.
Great react again beauty for a great song and performance! Absolutely Amazing! No more words! Please react to Syncopation live, is simply perfect!! See you at the next, Megitsune!
Check out Moametal on lead vocals on her 20th birthday half way through at 2:10. th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.html
You must hear the newer version with Moa singing !!
This ist one of the most epic performance i have ever seen - so much energy!
Did not perfom this song for a while 2nd time i seen them they performed it . was awesome The bald headed guy in front did not bow to Su . He got a bit fed up as i kept slapping his head when i bowed 🤣🤘🦊🤘
🤣🤘🤍
I can see you already binge with BM 🦊🤘🔥
Lol, the true sign they are on point. The audience being in the moment and chanting with them. And moving like they are.
This song was actually what got me into them in the first place. Was just jamming the heck out to this song for awhile, its so good.
Discovered Babymetal 2 weeks ago I have listened to almost everything available!! There isn’t one song I don’t like!! 55 yr old metal head!! Can you imagine a collab with Godsmack or Disturbed!!
YOu have to try Gimme chocolate^^
Megitsune is a must! My favourite song of theirs (especially the music video version, but make sure to pause a lot). 🤘
HEDOBAN HEDOBAN!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction! Mind blowing performance. 👏👏👏
The end of that concert will cement your love for them “death of legend 1997”
Hope you recover from the Babymetal whiplash. Babymetal Death, Kagerou, Trilogy Of Lights [Starlight, Shine & Arkadia], Akatsuki Budokan Black Night & Akatsuki unfinished version a must reaction for you. Going deep down the [Fox Hole, キツネの穴, Kitsune no ana]

Headbanger (Babymetal song):-
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" (ヘドバンギャー！！, Hedobangyā!!) is a single by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. Released in Japan on July 4, 2012 in promotion for the album Sakura Gakuin 2012 Nendo: My Generation, the single serves as the third single from the debut album Babymetal. It is also the band's first solo audio release to be released commercially.

Babymetal singles chronology:-
"Babymetal / Kiba of Akiba": (2012)
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!": (2012)
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai": (2013)
Background and release:-
Unlike previous tracks released by the band, which had her vocal recorded in segments within the songs, Nakamoto had her lines recorded in a single take several times. She had been told to sing and find a story within the music. By the time she had comprehended the story behind the lyrics, she grew capable of singing the entire song naturally. When Mizuno and Kikuchi listened to her shouting "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" for the first time, they felt as if they had seen another cool side of her, surprised by the vocal power. Additionally, the single introduced the members to the whispering style of singing, with the A-side's "Kiero!" (Disappear!) and the B-side's "Uki Uki Midnight". Kobametal was inspired to use it to contrast traditional death growls.
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" was announced as a single on April 27, 2012, with a release date set for July 7, 2012. The single was released in two versions: a standard edition, available via CD and digital formats, and a physical limited Hedo-ban ("Head edition"), which contains a CD and a "neck corset" (actually a cervical collar) for headbanging training.[5] Both editions of the single feature the songs "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" and "Uki Uki ★ Midnight" (ウ・キ・ウ・キ★ミッドナイト, "Exhilarating Midnight"), along with instrumental versions (labeled as "Air Vocal ver."). The standard version contains an enhanced CD with a bonus music video of "Babymetal Death", which can only be played on a computer. The artwork of the standard edition depicts a lyric in the song, specifically when the girl is headbanging with the corset, with the crimson-colored moon in the background, as well as the band name appearing at the top. The limited edition artwork depicts a temple scripture of the "Corset of Legend" with the song title spelled out in the middle.
Before the physical international release of the song, its title was written ambiguously as either "Head Bangya!!" or "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", the latter of which is officially used in the international re-release of Babymetal and all future releases. The music video uploaded to the band's TH-cam channel initially had the former name, though it was switched to the latter in 2015; the version uploaded by Toy's Factory consistently retained the official title.
Tekina Remix:-
During the live performances Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, and Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai at Makuhari Messe on December 21, 2012, a remix titled "Night of 15 mix." was performed, containing more elements of electronic music. The former took place on Suzuka Nakamoto's actual fifteenth birthday, while the latter was the opening song for the concert. Remixed by DJ'Tekina//Something, the song was later released as part of Social Reform promotional editions of the single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", and later appeared on DJ'Tekina//Something's remix album Kawa-EDM (2016), re-subtitled as "Tekina Remix".
KamiBand:-
The KamiBand are the instrumentalists (or backing band) in BABYMETAL - Each member is a "god (Kami) of music" summoned by The Fox God stage by stage. All the Kamis are male except for the Babymetal girls. The Kami Band wear corpse face paint and white robes depicting Japanese 🇯🇵 spirit.

Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬 #notacult.
My favorites which I recommend are Megitsune(studio version), Karate(studio version) Ijime Dame Zettai(live at Download), Iine(studio because live doesn't have the rap breakdown), Shanti Shanti(any version) and Pa Pa Ya(official video) there are tons more but I recommend those for you to watch.😁
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Baby Metal is something you either get or you don't get. I am so extremely happy that I get it.
I first heard them in kingslayer but, I feel like its time to follow my adhd rabbit hole
that why we love baby metal...they are very power in their performance..
The music of Babymetal does not touches me as much as music from other artists, BUT i LOVE their energy! And the singer has a very cute and sweet voice.
Well your smile sure fits in well with our favorite girls. Can't wait to see more of your BABYMETAL journey. 🤘🦊🤘
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Why I love Babymetal ? it is simple ---- they make me happy.
I've always thought, that the metal heads that just, pushed this aside, ignored it, hated it, or didn't think it was, hrm, serious? Must have very cold hearts. Been a metal head since I was, 15? Babymetal was, is just kinda a breath of fresh fun air.
Metal can be fun! It can be light hearted.
Came for the Metallica "One" reaction, stayed for the Babymetal material! Subscribed. 🤘 Can't wait for more! "Babymetal Death" is a great video to react to as well!
Your reactions to Babymetal are extremely Kawaii👊🏽⚡️
You should try ‘ In the name of’. For a different perspective.
I feel like the kind of people that don't like Babymetal are the same ones that wouldn't like Electric Callboy and I just don't need those kind of people in my life hahaha
love it love it love it 💞 please please please react to Babymetal - Akatsuki and Babymetal - Rondo of Nightmare 🥺🥺🥺🥺🖤🖤🖤🖤💜💜💜💜🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
These girls are metal AF. I dont care what people think, its not their fault they are little girls with cute voices... thats anatomy not a choice. Look at them rock out. If people are hating because they dont want choreographed dancing in Metal... I mean, what even is that argument, who cares.
There is a version of this song where it was Mona's birthday. Su handed her the mic to take over singing lead
This is the song that made me a big fan of BM. I like the synthesizer arrangement, it's very sentimental. The lyrics are also sentimental, and I have taken an assuming arbitrarily that the song is about the youth of the girls who once enthusiastically followed the visual kei band 'X Japan', known as 'Bang gals'. The drummer is Hideki Aoyama, and his father Jun Aoyama was also a great drummer in the J pop scene(RIP).
Thank you from Japan, moe moe ho!
🦊🤘🔥
Yey! BABYMETAL!🥰
Hedoban! Hedoban!
4:50 that build up has sooo much energy !
Can't wait!
🤘😆🤘
Very nice, can't wait! Thank you for this one. You have neck brace ready? hehehe
🤘🦊🤘
After Ten+ years its no longer a gimmick
Ooo. Headbanger. Excited to watch that one!
Even if the thumbnail looks like the Tokyo Dome performance tbh
Credit to these ladies for the tight choreography (and a hell of a workout), but mad props to Queen Su's vocals.
In related, would like to namedrop PassCode, another Japanese alternative idol group who have one foot in metal. The other foot is in a wide variety of electronic music. They are a ton of fun, and do a really good job of mixing the two styles together. Would either recommend Freely with their new screamer Emily, or Taking You Out with the old screamer Yuna.
Su is one of the fiercest singer in history. Most other bands are fronted by wimps compared to her. I also love the manic pixie vibe Yui and Moa bring to the table.
I like the heavy metal in the Instruments , the girls singing it sound like a chipmunks Christmas LOL!
KARATE MV you deserve it Aileen !!!!!
I would love to see you react to the moametal version
I think you should try something "different" from BABYMETAL, specificly BLACK BABYMETAL maybe with "onedari daisakusen" or "Sis Anger"
For the backstory about BLACK BABYMETAL, Yuimetal and Moametal have been wicked and blackened and now, they sing rap music.
BABYMETAL suggestion: The live performance with Rob Halford.
a few years ago on MoA's 21th birthday they did a concert where MoA did sing the song and su did the support xD and moa blows u away by her singing and then u get instantly sad she never sings normaly xDD but i never saw a person smile bigger then moa when she startet singing in that video xD
Babymetal is one of my absolute favourite
Welp, we need to get Aileen to react to Gimmie Chocolate, Pa Pa Ya!, and Karate in that order.
Another great reaction. I love seeing peoples first reaction to Headbanger live…especially this version. You’re absolutely right, BabyMetal just makes you smile. :) Your next BabyMetal reaction should be of their song Karate live at download 2016. ♥️🖤😍
たにゆなななねな
す図
🤘🦊♪
"Different", hai! Ground-breaking, hai! Innovative, hai! Entertaining & FUN, HAI!!
Gimmicky? NFW.
Everything my 50 years of listening to rock & metal basically required me to reject the very notion of BABYMETAL. On paper, this combination of styles seems to be nothing more than a silly idea. However, BABYMETAL is a perfect example of why its good to stay open-minded. Imagine never watching them because of pre-conceived ideas. What a shame that would be!
Great reaction Aileen-Metal!
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #metalAF
Now this is a crowd. So much energy
why su has that death glare:
"i stand here holding this mircrophone like an idiot while those two get to play with those fog guns...." of course she would be pissed xD
TY 🙏🙏
SuMetal has the best death stare
I miss them so much dude. 🥲
Me too 🤘🦊
60-70k people! Plus a Pikachu
This song just keeps on giving...
Happy time, thanks Babymetal for being u, we was blown away after watching Megitsune 9 years ago, really miss the trio😪
You have some Babymetal, Band-Maid, and Lovebites under your belt but the band you're really missing out on is Nemophila. Check out "Dissension", "Oiran" (live at Naon Yaon 2021), or "Monsters". I think you'll love them.
Love it. This song was my reintroduction to BabyMetal a couple of years ago after brushing them off as just a gimmick quite a few years ago. When I heard this and actually paid attention to it properly is when I realised just how damn good not only the girls are, but how good the musicianship is too.
Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, but Alex Terrible has recently dropped two new covers you might want to check out. One is Infant Annihilator - Decapitation Fornication, and the other is his lyrics to Mick Gordon's Doom Eternal BFG Division that Alex calls his Demon vocal cover. Both are full of his usual intensity, with highs, lows, gutterals, and Alex Terrible low gutterals. lol
Much love from Australia, and please keep the great reactions coming. You give me a brief distraction around 4am when my insomnia kicks my ass.
