I’m 63 years old and I listened to lots of classic rock. People sometimes dis me for saying this but I say this is the best rock band I’ve heard in my lifetime.
Pure perfection, aren’t they? And those faces... their attitude... their music... their story... their joy! Band-Maid is a world treasure! Thanks M-Head, for bringing the world's best hard rock band to your viewers!
Hi Tom. I came across the (civil) argument you had with that guy as to what constitutes a band on the BAND-MAID/Babymetal debate. I loved the way when he started saying look up the dictionary def of what a band is, you blew him out of the water by saying you knew, from coming from generations of writing, composing & performing music. Way to go Mr Maidiac.👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yeah, even though he had great fan passion for "his" band (BabyMetal) he just wouldn't let go of his point that every group of musicians over two people constitutes a "Band" - including Milli Vanilli (howz that for pulling a couple of weirdos out of my ass?), and orchestras, etc.. "And now ladies and gentlemen, the Los Angeles Philharmonic "Band!" 😲 BTW - Thanks for your kind reference, Sir Maidiac. One day we shall stand at the forefront of a glorious global renaissance -- a period in history when Maid Music becalmed a troubled earth with Joyfulness. 😂 Too much? 😯 ... Nah! 😄
@@TomClark-Futoura Never, ever too much Tom. Not THE Milli Vanilli. The pretty boys with the plaited long hair who mimed thru their short existence until their Audio went haywire at a supposed live performance, thus exposing them as talentless nobodies. You must mean another Milli Vanilli.😆
@@TomClark-Futoura Lol. He would. Had he never heard of solo artists. Frank Sinatra must've been in a band. His argument was honestly said but misplaced :)
Great reaction and thanks for spreading the word about Band-Maid, they deserve all the exposure they can get to help them on their way to world domination.
Play was intended to be an instrumental at first but Saiki wanted lyrics to the song! It turned out to be a crowd pleaser and you can clearly see Saiki getting the crowd into it!
Pretty much my reaction when I first got into Band-Maid. I think binged every video i could. Unfortunately it was already late at night when I found them lol.
@@patron40silver when I ran out of band-maid videos on TH-cam I went to bilibili just to find more band-maid videos to binge on... and managed to track down the complete zepp live and shinkiba coast live that weekend!
Miku steps up!!! This just shows the basic good nature of Kanami. With everything else she is responsible for she takes the time to teach Miku to play to a high standard AND gives her a feature spot front and centre. Not to say she doesn't deserve it and she has really worked hard to achieve this level but Kanami must be extraordinarily good natured to bring her up to full band status. The best band in the world for sure.
From Babymetal to Li-Sa-X to Band-Maid lol. The moment we all realize we have fallen down a rabbit hole we can't get out lol. Your in welcome company my friend as that was pretty much my reaction. 🤯 Something in the tofu over there in Japan I think, just saying. 🤟🔥🎸🔥
You're right BAND-MAID are "In a league of their own". I've said it so many times it feels like i'm banging my head against a wall. Maybe i should wear a tiny hat :)
I like to think that little hat is in a glass case some where in Japan. It has a little hammer attached to the case with a plaque that reads, Brake open if you think rock is dead. 😂
As the barefoot assassin is your fav I guess the next reaction should be Dice, one of MISA's songs. Yeah, they have themes where one of them outshines the rest. You got Miku songs, Kanami shreddings, Akane beating her drums to death... My personal fav is Choose Me (Kanami's song). I also think you'll love their instrumentals. All of them are fantastic: Onset, Don't Be Long, Without Holding Back... B-M is just a band from another world, a yet unseen world
Hello. You have only stood at the entrance to the BAND MAID labyrinth. We have to embark on a long journey, including their early work. You can find their talent and fun in the early songs. But you won't get lost. Fans all over the world have put up a lot of signposts.
Your louder mic level vs. the MC audio is much better (not complaining about prior reacts, but it makes it more accessible for picky people, which is better for your channel). I'll admit I was surprised a while back that Kobato-san can speak really knowledgeably about her guitar tone, even if technically she's nowhere near Kanami's level (while still having become an impressively solid rhythm player). One more example of each member carefully assessing how what they're doing contributes to the group's overall sound.
Have you seen Miku's new signature model from Zemaitis, the A24MF-FP, the "Flappy Pigeon"? It's gorgeous! guitar-town.com/2021/03/band-maid-kobato-zemaitis-a24mf/
That is one beautiful guitar, wonder if I have an extra $3600 USD lying around and I don't even play guitar, just hang it on the wall as a masterpiece of art.
I’m 63 years old and I listened to lots of classic rock. People sometimes dis me for saying this but I say this is the best rock band I’ve heard in my lifetime.
They can stand in the same room as the legends of rock, but don't let them step on their toes...
Showed Band-Maid to my dad, his reaction : Now thats some proper Rock Music, son!
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 the added intro to this song is why we love Live B-M videos. The make their studio songs sound so much better.
Pure perfection, aren’t they? And those faces... their attitude... their music... their story... their joy! Band-Maid is a world treasure! Thanks M-Head, for bringing the world's best hard rock band to your viewers!

@@GaryHolloway-810 That guy would want to call that fraud duo the Milli Vanilli Band, which would be wrong in so many ways. 🙃
@@TomClark-Futoura Lol. He would. Had he never heard of solo artists. Frank Sinatra must've been in a band. His argument was honestly said but misplaced :)
Miku is not just an asset. She is the founder, motivator and soul of the band. And she has the drive to learn new things to up her game.
And best at English.
Great reaction and thanks for spreading the word about Band-Maid, they deserve all the exposure they can get to help them on their way to world domination.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!!!! 🤘🤘
Just following your journey and catching up!!!!! 😁✌
Misa's rumbling bass sounds like the start of the Apocalypse. Cool reaction brother.
There is another live version of this song that is well worth checking out for MISA's intro alone. It is from the same show as Moratorium.
That version is hard to find but you're correct, MISA solo in the beginning melts mortals faces.
That intro could have been a song for most band but Kanami wrote it as just a great intro for Play......genius.....mad genius!
Ha, you are going to just die when you watch their official "Don't Let Me Down" music video and Band-Maiko's "Secret Maiko Lips". I warned you...
Play was intended to be an instrumental at first but Saiki wanted lyrics to the song! It turned out to be a crowd pleaser and you can clearly see Saiki getting the crowd into it!
And to think this song goes right into Domination. What a way to end a concert.....
I love when the realization sets in, yes Band Maid is really that good! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Pretty much my reaction when I first got into Band-Maid. I think binged every video i could. Unfortunately it was already late at night when I found them lol.
Play was my first BAND-MAID, too, but I saw the older version. I binged then and I'm still binging ( that doesn't seem right but I looked it up ).

@@lurkmerchant Yep, I've had / known about that site for a year, or so, now and have watched most of the stuff related to our girls. :)

Onset, Moratorium, Puzzle, Blooming all great choices.
From Babymetal to Li-Sa-X to Band-Maid lol. The moment we all realize we have fallen down a rabbit hole we can't get out lol.

@@Mogis2011 LOL. Man that's a good one.😆
💯🤘🏼
So the tiny hat isn't already embedded in your brain?
@@glenkelley6799 Lol i thought it was but X-rays showed it was a piece of shrapnel in the shape of a tiny hat instead. No idea how that got there :D
The crowd is awesome on the chorus.
You're right about everything you said. I'd say you have more like 50 more songs to get to :-)
Best band on the planet. Lovebites who? Baby metal who? BAND MAID ARE QUEENS OF ROCK
There is only Band Maid!
The intro is not on the studio version. They had a different intro on the 2018 live version.
Yeah. This song tends to be one that they change up regularly.

@paco acosta I think I've never heard that one. Any links available?
This song was number 21 out of 23 at this concert. You should add Don't be long (audio version) to your list and, it’s an instrumental.
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin .
Hello. You have only stood at the entrance to the BAND MAID labyrinth.

Great review. Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite Band-Maid songs.
Glad you enjoyed it
MISA MISA MISA!
You haven't done Warning yet? That would be a good one next. Seriously you have dozens and dozens more incredible songs to hear.
Your louder mic level vs. the MC audio is much better (not complaining about prior reacts, but it makes it more accessible for picky people, which is better for your channel).
I'll admit I was surprised a while back that Kobato-san can speak really knowledgeably about her guitar tone, even if technically she's nowhere near Kanami's level (while still having become an impressively solid rhythm player). One more example of each member carefully assessing how what they're doing contributes to the group's overall sound.
You should watch the older version of this with Misa kicking it with alot of bass at the start
Hello, high line. Try DON'T YOU TELL ME from the Zep Tokyo 2018 concert for a great playoff between Misa and Kanami. Hope you find it.
In a league of their own, yea, that's just Band-Maids normal.
Thai fan♀ band-maid ♥♥♥♥♥
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole 🤙🙌
don’t forget to breathe👌🏽
Have you seen Miku's new signature model from Zemaitis, the A24MF-FP, the "Flappy Pigeon"? It's gorgeous!

Yes it's amazing I followed them on Twitter. Thank you.

@@glenkelley6799 Yup. Same thought crossed my mind, as well. If only. . .
Bro, your reaction on Band_Maid same like the other Band-Maid reactor Shadow John... :)
