You can literally pick any Band-Maid song and I'm sure you would not be disappointed. I'd recommend following songs: Play (Live) Don't you tell me (Live) Moratorium (Live) Onset (Live) Blooming Reincarnation Welcome on the B-M hype train :D
Thank you so much!! I’m definitely going to be diving a little deeper into this band for sure!! Ole you stick around for more and make sure you’re subscribed if you’re not already my dude! 🤘🤘
@@CypherReacts Just subscribed and you will get a lot more with Band-Maid on your react list. I would request you watch the music video for "Don't you tell me" before the live video. I think it is a great song on its own and then they ramp it up on the live version. If you are up to it do a double reaction, first the video then the live.
Great reaction mate, but you did get one thing wrong, and that was the idea that this song is the best one off the album it was on, because most of their MANY songs off ALL their albums are just as good Domination ! Band-Maid are the best Rock band around right now. If you also like Metal, ckeck out Lovebites, another amazing bunch of Japanese ladies who are just as talented as Band-Maid !
Welcome aboard, Jamie. You are embarking on (along with many others) an awesome hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of rock n’ rollers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off the rails spectacular. Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 50 favorites! "Thrill" is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with over 20 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (sample “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/w-d-xo.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BR & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.). Saiki Atsumi “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience. Miku Kobato "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!! Kanami Tono “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 28 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose "Gorilla" - Drums, 29 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumRilla” is the Party! MISA "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Oh man, loved your reaction. Welcome to BAND-MAID world. They have such powerful songs. Some people have recommended masterpieces, but also you should listen to 'Screaming'. Really heavy, dude!
Kaname, the guitarist, is the master of the hook and riff. The rest of the band competes so hard to shine she has no need to hog the limelight. I'd recommend the live version of Play to get the lead in with a fantastic Bass solo. Real Existence is my personal favorite to show off the arrangements and how brilliant she is at being able to play like Keith Moon but at the same time actually keep time and fully support the music. Your Reaction is much the same as Band-Maid fans. At least myself. I've not gotten excited about a new band in years. I've spent the last 20 years just sort of playing along on the drums with the same old classic rock I grew up with until I found these girls. They do shows around the world each year. This year may not happen, but as soon as you get a chance you MUST go!
Well Jamie.. Welcome to the Band-Maid clan. Now, you have been Dominated and the only thing to keep it up, is to watch more and more and more. Not one single track is their best, they all are their best. As of Dice, Thrill, Moratorium (check this live version), Don't you Tell Me, Secret My Lips, Blooming, Rinne etc etc etc. These ladies are beyond awesome... they are LEGENDARY! Since you are new, here is the breakdown: Founder of the band, Rythm guitar and songwriter: Miku Kobato a.k.a. the pigeon Lead guitar and composer: Kanami Tono a.k.a. goddess of the 6-string On the Bass: Misa a.k.a. the assassin On drums: Akane Hirose a.k.a. the beast from the east / the gorilla (loves bananas) Vocals: Saiki Atsumi a.k.a. the queen
Band-Maid Trivia: At 5'7" (Misa) and 5'6" (Akane) are the two tallest members of the band (very tall by Japanese standards). Saiki is 5'4". Kanami is 5"2", and Miku is the shortest at 5'1".
I’m late to this party. Probably one of their best live performances. But if you decide to go down the Bamd-Maid rabbit hole, buckle up. You haven’t seen half of it. And yes. Some of their songs have English phrases.
"This is the first all girl group I have watched..." Anyone going to tell this poor deprived man about Lovebites, Aldious, or Brats?... I'm just going to leave these here... Lovebites: th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html Aldious: th-cam.com/video/Q9FJCPsDFfk/w-d-xo.html Brats (Note -more of a punk vibe): th-cam.com/video/ntJditD8hpQ/w-d-xo.html P.S. Also listen to more Band-Maid. You can't go wrong with anything from them.
Hahaah thank you so much for the links!! I’ll definitely be looking into that! I’m interested in love bites so that will be coming soon! Hahaa I hope that you stick around!
I don't usually recommend Band Maid film clips as opposed to LIVE , cos they do live so damn well. BUT I think they caught the energy in this recent one. An amazing song IMO . Rinne (Reincarnation) > th-cam.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/w-d-xo.html
Band Maid and Babymetal, bands I both love but their are many great bands out of Japan you should react to. All metal female band check out Lovebites-When Destinies Collide. For over the top genre smashing fun you have Maximum the Hormone-Yoshu Fukushu. For old school metal goodness from grandpa you have Ningen Isu-Heartless Scat. All three of those bands will put a huge smile on your face.
Personally i dont have a problem with the pauses, but what I will say is that if you rewind like 5-10s before hitting play again it can satiate the haters a bit lol
Great reaction and comments! I love Babymetal, but Band Maid is a real hard rock band. A amazing band. "Onset live" is so badass, please check and fall in love with this girls th-cam.com/video/roP4HFlGBUI/w-d-xo.html
@@CypherReacts I'm more of a BABYMETAL fan but I gotta give credits to Band-Maid for being absolutely amazing. If you're more into J-Rock/Hardrock then Band-Maid will be your jam, if you're into some metal and metal fusion, BABYMETAL will be your jam. And there are also a ton of other amazing Japanese bands I've discovered since I fell in love with BABYMETAL. Like, Galneryus is also amazing dude. Should add Galneryus - Angel of Salvation in your bucket list for a potential reaction, aswell as some Maximum The Hormone. I'd recommend to go with the live stuff on Galneryus straight away, they're tight af. :D
One of the odd things about Band-Maid is that they don't really have a "best song". They just have about 30 in joint 1st place. The two with most views on their channel are just the oldest. I will suggest a live version of one of those two, "Real Existence", for next, but there are so many. th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html It's the track they opened their shows with last year.
Yes people's favorite Band- Maid songs vary a lot because of the wide range of styles they play. I like more hard rock and pop so the songs that are catchy (Dice, Choose Me) are the ones i prefer but others love the heavy stuff (Reincarnation, Domination).
@Evren G.Nez My guess is not that he had never heard of the song before but that "if they opened with this what was the rest of the concert like" I think i saw a playlist and this one actually came towards the end of the show but I could be wrong
Kanami (lead guitar) is just a genius songsmith. And adding Miku's lyrics and input from the rest of this talented band, it's all GOLD. Looking forward to more reactions! Po!
They are the most talented, charismatic, fun band I’ve ever seen in my 53 years and they’re singing (partly) in a foreign language. The language barrier matters not a bit and this is the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to the journey. Along with “The Warning” from Mexico they are the saviours of rock.
Jamie Wilson The Warning out of Mexico and their epic rock opera masterpiece album Queen of The Murder Scene completes the current awesome trinity of female groups
BabyMetal sing and dance with a band...Band Maid IS the band! Their live stuff really shines with extra solos and battles. _I suggest when you pause to comment, you re-start 5 seconds back...just sayin._ Stay safe....Chur from NZL.
Babymetal have a cast of fucking awesome musicians from japan working in the background while 3 girls sings. Band-Maid is a cast of fucking awesome musicians from japan doing most of the work
You can see why my two favorite groups are BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL. Even though their genre, presentation, etc. is totally different. They both execute on stage at the higest level. Here's a little condensed history. Miku Kobato (rhythm guitar and lyricist) had previously worked at a Maid Café and thought it would be fun to take that kind of cuteness and contrast it with Rock 'n' Roll. After finding her lead guitarist Kanami Tōno via an Internet search, the rest of the members (drummer Akane Hirose and bassist MISA) were added as the new members referred her to other musicians they had worked with and liked. Miku started off handling lead vocals, but the band decided to add an additional singer to expand their range. Saiki Atsumi was selected after auditions. Their whole catalog is solid, but I have only one request. React to the song 'Secret My Lips': th-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/w-d-xo.html BEFORE reacting to 'Secret Maiko Lips', the special April 1st 2018 version. Trust me on this one.
Ah, Rick you left out the best part, they went to their agency looking for a singer. The agency did had someone but they didn't think she would go for the maid uniforms. So they auditioned Saiki without telling her about the maid uniforms nor did she meet Miku! Saiki rehearsed with Kanami, Akane and MISA only. On the day before their first gig, Saiki met Miku and was given her maid uniform!! Personally I thank all the gods of Japan that she stayed
@@CypherReacts If you keep doing Band-Maid, you'll get more likes than you ever thought possible - they are the most addicting band ever. We all remember our first time...
Welcome to the last level, there is nothing better beyond. These ladies have pass seven years in the harsh panorama of Japanese rock music, opening a gap based on pure talent and charisma. It is not metal, it is not punk, it is not funk, it is all together in each of their songs. You have just discovered a band for a lifetime.
Oh Jamie you've only just scratched the surface of the extraordinary wealth of talented female rock and metal musicians now coming out of Japan. Babymetal and Bandmaid are your gateway introduction to this remarkable pool of talent but there are so many other bands; Aldious, Bridear, Mary's Blood, Iron Bunny, Doll$Boxx, Lovebites and gawd knows how many more. Do yourself a huge favour and check out the latest single release from Lovebites... "When Destinies Align, th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to check out more of all of these awesome bands! I’m gonna be consistent on the channel so I am gonna check out so many new bands!!
@@CypherReacts Just a follow up - this is a short list of some of what I consider the best of the all female rock/metal bands from Japan: Mary's Blood - Marionette - th-cam.com/video/zRkPvijamy8/w-d-xo.html ALDIOUS - DOMINATOR - th-cam.com/video/Q9FJCPsDFfk/w-d-xo.html Lovebites - Shadowmaker - th-cam.com/video/k3wyUbfl6TY/w-d-xo.html Lovebites - 26 minute 2018 concert - th-cam.com/video/Ogc4varqmVY/w-d-xo.html Gacharic Spin 2010 - Lock On - th-cam.com/video/SXZImsZujPc/w-d-xo.html DOLL$BOXX (same band as Gacharic Spin with Fuki (one of the best rock singers in Japan) - Take My Chance = th-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/w-d-xo.html Ladybaby - Starless Sky - th-cam.com/video/7_F1x0cKoVE/w-d-xo.html Ladybaby - Nippon Manju - th-cam.com/video/3zWwd8n2JVI/w-d-xo.html (just for fun) Scandal - Shunkan - th-cam.com/video/HEkerSi5Fig/w-d-xo.html Girl Rock Band Kakumei - Voltage - th-cam.com/video/9k9txMouU34/w-d-xo.html
Moratorium live from a couple of years back (or Don't you tell me, Secret my lips, Dice, Puzzle live as well - can't really go wrong). The bass player and drummer are seriously good and have already got international recognition.
MISA! MISA! MISA! Holding the line in solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has just left it in the dirt! With over 100 audio pieces in their catalog, Band Maid is quite simply one of the best Rock Bands on the planet today!! More Band Maid Always!!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Band-Maid is to Rock, what BabyMetal is to Metal: PURE... UNADULTERATED... AWESOMENESS. Both groups make me feel so freaking proud of Japan... and I'm not even Asian lol xD
The Maidiacs have arrived to your channel Jamie!! Congratts! I knew you would enjoy Band-Maid and this video was just the tip of the iceberg. I subbed so don't even mention it! LOL! Just do more of the best rock band on the planet.
Saw these girls first in London in 2018 and I was instantly hooked. Been a huge fan ever since. I'm even learning Japanese because of them. You're right about their talent, and their songs give them all a chance to shine, especially live. As for other tracks to try, I must have around 30 of their tracks on my favourite list but maybe Moratorium or Real Existence or Non Fiction Days (live versions of course.) Would be a good way to follow Domination........po!!!!! (Gotta love the little pigeon).😁
So Jamie, you’ve discovered BAND-MAID. Great reaction, you seem to enjoy them. Fasten your seatbelt. These ladies will rock your socks off. The most common thing people comment about them is that their favorite Band-Maid song is the one that they just listened to. 🤘
I like this Japanese rock and metal route you're taking. I've been a huge fan of jpop and jmetal for years now. By the way if you want to hear a really cool Japanese metal song I recommend ningen isu with heartless scat! Many youtubers have reacted to this song already. I immediately loved this song first time hearing it!
There are two kinds of people. Those who love Band-Maid and those who haven't heard them yet. I'm 42, former musician and sound engineer, worked in the music industry for 10 year and I'm pretty damn sure I've never heard a better band. I've listened to them for about four years and seen them live 15-ish times despite them never playing in Sweden. I can without a doubt say they are in the top ten list of the bands live I have ever seen and I still haven't heard a song I don't like. They are four insanely talented musicians and a brilliant Miku on background vocals and rhythm guitar. No one is better at being Miku than she is. Every band should have a Miku! Oh and by the way, I'm happy you didn't fall in to the whole comparing them to Babymetal-thing. The only thing they've got in common is that they are female and Japanese.
i am with you man, I too am a musician , made12 album and played internationally, BUT.. i have NEVER seen a band this good, anywhere. Friggin amazing. players. arrangers, writers , performers and okay lets admit it adorably presented with great personalities. I became a fan for life 5 years ago, and am still being constantly amazed at what they keep bringing out . Astounding talent and vibe ! Hey , I just remember , I jammed with a singer Pia Power and her band in Malmo in 95.
you my friend are in for a long journey with the maids-been around since 2013 with 6 cd's of kick ass rock.not a bad song to be found. and if you love the maids like most of us do the mv for the song 'dice' is an absolute must react.then 'real existence',thrill' their first video from 2014,alone,non fiction days,choose me,and then just keep going. and if you want your ass kicked even more listen to-once again 5 gorgeous japanese girls that will melt your face and heart- the band'lovebites' best power metal band on the planet-start with mv's for 'when destinies align' and 'shadowmaker ' and keep going. 2 beautifull shredders that will rip your face off!don't miss them. i just subscribed. i'm watching!!the cd and song is domination-their goal is world domination-but as i mentioned the song 'dice' is probably the best song off of this cd- DO NOT miss it!
my dude!! Thank you so much for the support!! 2K subscribers is in touching distance haha, I know i've got a long journey into band maid but i'm ready to go and i'm so glad that you're joining me!!
Great reaction Jamie! Babymetal fans bring you to Band Maid it usually happens in either direction. And Band Maid is awesome as well! Please react to: 1. Play Live 2. Dice official music video 3. Take me higher live 4. Puzzle live Hope to see more reaction soon.
Every song this band has is good, and I'm not exaggerating. A lot of people like to recommend "Play (live)" as one of the first songs you should listen to, but I personally like to recommend the official music video for "Dice". When I first started listening to this band, Dice was the first song that really blew me away.
Excellent reaction! You have a new sub! An old rocker in his 50s here. If you would have told me 20 years ago that one of my favorite bands would be five petite Japanese ladies dressed in maid outfits, I would have called you crazy......yet here we are. You're right, this is the title track off their "World Domination" album.
Hell yeah ron! Thank you so much my dude!! Gonna be doing more from these guys and many more bands!! Maybe you’ll find another band you’ll love from my videos!
Oh, long time Band Maid fan. Seeing your reaction video in my feed drew me to your channel. All female rock/metal bands has actually become quite the trend in Japan lately. If you get a chance, check these ladies out. They'll blow you away too! Lovebites - "When Destinies Align": th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
LOOOL!! Not much beats to see first reactions to Band-Maid! =D Domination top song of album? All songs on the album are as good as this. And almost every song thay made... Congrats...you have much fun to look forward to! And us others too...this is from an upcoming DVD/Bluray. I dont know if you heard Lovebites? More japanese girls that hooked me completely. After only listen to Band-Maid for months, I bought all Lovebites albums and now only listen to THEM....
I’ve got more band maid on the way and I’ve been recommended to listen to love bites too! Hope you stick around the channel, got loads more content on the way!
This was the 22nd song of the set. The crowd reacts like that for all of them. The band includes audience reactions into the songs. I don't know of a bad song by them.
Great reaction yet again! You made a brilliant choice when you chose Road of Resistance as your first Babymetal experience and an excellent choice here for your first taste of Band-Maid. This is one of the best live Rock songs I've seen in many years and all these women are skilled and passionate musicians and singers. My music listening is split between Band-Maid and Babymetal almost exclusively these days (though Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and the brilliant Underworld also get a look in occasionally). Haven't found a bad Band-Maid track yet and, like Babymetal, they really shine brightest live and there is a lot of live stuff out there as well as many really good studio videos. They are Miku Kobato = Vocals / Rhythm Guitar (the gorgeous and wacky founder of the band), Saiki Atsumi = Vocals, Kanami Tono = Lead Guitar, Akane Hirose = Drummer and Misa = Bass. If you want to see just how wacky - but in a beautiful and sweet and fascinatingly hard to stop watching kind of way, then there's some great clips of Miku giving one of her 10 minute chats to the audience which, while containing no music, are great fun to watch. Here's one of the best - Miku's Majinai (Magic) Time: th-cam.com/video/x6iSf73LiQ0/w-d-xo.html . A reaction to it might be good but, if you're sticking to music reactions, then brighten up your day with a watch of this! Look forward to watching lots more of your Band-Maid and Babymetal reactions as they've been excellent so far and can tell from your enthusiasm and passion for heavy but gorgeous Japanese bands that have the initials BM that you'll continue doing so. Stay safe out there. As Babymetal said at the end of the two concerts they streamed on Fri and Sat, "Stay Home. Stay Metal".
Thank you so much for the kind words again my dude!! Been doing all I can to bring the best reaction content I can!! So I’m so so glad that I’m pleasing you with what I’m releasing
Interesting reaction 👍 There are heaps of great Japanese women bands at the moment. Band Maid is a great heavy rock band. Lovebites is an excellent metal girl band I would like to see you react to. Here are a couple of links for them: a recent one th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html and the one that got me hooked on them. They also just released a live from Wacken 2018 a few hours ago th-cam.com/video/O-h6prRw110/w-d-xo.html
First Babymetal, and now Band Maid, you have got a new suscriber ! Great reaction by the way, and you just scratch the surface of the japanese Music world. there is so much crazy talented bands and artists in Japan, and not only in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock. you can try One OK Rock, X Japan, Ningen Isu, Man with a Mission, and Many, Many other bands
Great reaction dude. I think their versatility is so great their Songs are mostly hard rock but they have so much influences (Grunge, metal, blues...., accoustic and even traditional japanses instruments if you count the Band Maiko stuff) in their music it is awesome. If you can stick to the live versions with the Exceptions of Blooming, Dice, Rinne and Dragon Cries. You discovered pure gold here !
@@CypherReacts Her name is Miku and like Manny said, she used to work as a waitress in a maid cafe which is where she got the idea of "how about a band of cute girls in maid outfits that play rock that will melt your face off". She was actually in a small idol group that never got any far. But being an idol is not just about being a performer, but also about being able to sell yourself or the band. While she started off as the weakest musically of the band, (rumour has it she had never touched a guitar before) she was the one with charisma to make up for it. She managed to collect all these talented musicians and convinced them of her vision.
I'm happy to see someone else discover Japanese rock and metal. I discovered it about a year ago (starting with BAND-MAID) and haven't looked back. 99% of what I listen to is Japanese now, even though I don't understand a word of it. BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL are my favorites, but here are some other suggestions when you're ready to branch out (but please keep doing BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL vids too!)

Their pop bands like Scandal, Negoto, Girlfriend, Polka Dot Stingray and crazy stuff like Kyary Pamu are all worth checking out too. Dont be afraid , they are very inventive.
Paul Read I agree. I’ve recently fallen in love with Silent Siren. Very poppy, very catchy, which is not normally my thing, but they really do it for me. Just really fun music. Check out Fujiyama Disco.
Band Maid is great. They’re all great musicians, as you mentioned. Try Onset Live - that one prompted me to order two CDs from their online store just to support them in a small way. I say ‘small’ but their prices are pretty steep actually. But since that was the point of ordering them anyway, that’s ok. I don’t have the link handy being on a stationary bike since they closed down the park... but the one you’d want should be the first listed option - and it sure does have a light show with it. Too much actually as far as I’m concerned. Suggestions for your channel? Maybe do a little dance as the videos are playing? OK only 200 more calories to go now!
Hahaha Kevin thank you my dude!! Hope you’re enjoying that bike!! I’ve been trying to stay a bit fit from my room but that’s not easy when I keep filming and editing for hours hahaha definitely going to diving deeper into this band!! Next level!!
The product is exy as Japan supports its music industry...but then you get bands promoted like Band Maid , and many more , of extreme quality. 1 album by bands from Japan like this has as much as 3 albums from western bands as far a good content, so they are well worth supporting from our side too.
This is an interview done last year with English subs. th-cam.com/video/Q6OL5qJ0RiM/w-d-xo.html And if you want something heavier, check out Mary’s Blood. The lead guitarist, Saki, is a total bad ass.
This is the 4th song on their 2nd full-album World Domination. They have 3 full albums, Just Bring It, World Domination, and Conqueror. They also have 5 mini-albums and several singles. They formed in July 2013. This song and "Dice" from World Domination were released as MVs. They have a lot of videos on TH-cam and a library of over 90 songs. Their 1st video is "Thrill". th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their songs are mostly a mix of Japanese and English though they have two all in English. The most recent is "The Dragon Cries" off of Conqueror, produced by Tony Visconti, the producer of David Bowie and T-Rex. th-cam.com/video/skEkpogsmE0/w-d-xo.html Their MVs are all solid but they are even better live. Yes, Japanese audiences are often more interactive, and Japanese bands feed off the audience energy. Finally, they are not the only all-female Japanese rock band. Lovebites, Aldious, Scandal, Silent Siren, Mary's Blood, Mutant Monster, Otoboke Beaver, and many others. And all genres metal, pop-rock, punk, etc.
Jamie Wilson hello, I won't say how great this band is. You will read all sorts of comments regarding the wonderful diversity of their music. All I can say is for me I have been waiting for a long time to become interested in music again. Band maid blew open that door. It also allowed me to find many other amazing Japanese all female bands. Though for me Band Maid is top tier po.Have fun on this crazy journey . Be safe. New subscriber here.
Such a great performance! Band Maid have a lot of great songs, try some more out! If you're interested in other recommendations how about the song Take My Chance by the band DOLL$BOXX?
Nice reaction. I play guitar with other musicians and I can tell you these girls are masters of their instruments. The songwriting, song structure is very professional. My jaw dropped the first time I saw Band Maid on you tube. Now I am obsessed. Fantastic band
Jamie Wilson here is a little background on them. BTW they have no bad songs. My favorite is the one currently playing. They all Rock especially their live performances. th-cam.com/video/pYufMaaDBMM/w-d-xo.html Enjoy ! Thanks again for Band Maid !
Many people will recommend the live version. And that's right. Because they are the best live band. However, "Alone" "DICE" and "Blooming" recommend MV.
Great first reaction, it mirrored my own first reaction. When I first discovered them I was led to them from Babymetal. I was totally blown away, this is the best hard rocking band that I've heard in over 30 years (I started listening to rock in the 1950's). I had given up on rock a while back (with a few exceptions), but these ladies turned that around. I now listen to their music every day. I also found that discovering Band-Maid and Babymetal opened a whole floodgate of exceptional gifted Japanese rock/metal musicians that was refreshingly innovative and original (as much as that can happen). It seems like the Japanese music scene is willing to try just about anything and see what happens (Ladybaby is a great example lol) and some times it just clicks, like Band-Maid. They're like the Beatles, Cream, Zep - without each member it probably would have failed.
Who are they you ask... Well, it kind of started With Miku Kobato (backing vocals, guitar, spokes-pigeon). She had been a part of a failed all girl Idol-Group, and had in 2013 been working at this maid themed cafè for some months when she got the idea for a band. Band-maid. She needed a guitarist since she could'nt, but she didn't know any either, so she found Kanami Tono on youtube. After a few mails they deicided to meet. They hit of very well and she called her friend Akane Hirose( Drummer and part gorilla to the vocalist); whom she had been working With a lot earlier. She also thought the concept was cool, so she got in. Now it was a little worse With her friend from Music School. Misa didn't really fall for the maid thingy, so the Girls made a compromise. They found a Turkish maid-outfit, which also kind of gave her some more assassin like look. I started of well they did some songs, but i believe Miku herself wasnt really satisfied. With her own performance. though she had a Sweet pop-voice, it didn't really blend well With the hard-rock sound they were aiming for. So they found Saiki through some auditions... She liked the Girls, but has claimed that she didn't know about the "maid" clause, and if she did it wasnt sure if she had joined the band. I believe she in an interview said both the band and agent kept it a Secret. At least she has embraced the lead vocals and her more Spanish style :) Great band! So much to take from! Enjoy! P.s. If the Young pigeon didn't play guitar… then how did she learn? Well… Kanami would'nt allow her to stand in the back and just do the backing, so she gave her a promise that she would learn her to play. She is still Learning and has become a good rythm guitarist, laying a solid foundation where Kanami can play around. Lyrics? It's about taking a chance on taking on the world and having confidence to do it despite what others believe. At least how i read the translation.
MISA MISA MISA! song 22 of 23 song set I flew from Melbourne Australia to LA (approx 8000 miles) last year JUST to see Band-Maid (saw them twice at the Echoplex)
Onset Live. Thank me later. you have no idea how lucky you are, young man. The last 20 years of rock has been absolute shit since the end of the grunge period. There have been some exceptions like Shinedown but in general it's either stupid growly metal or pop/hiphop infused rock. Band Maid is the best rock band I've heard in an extremely long time. They have blown up this year thanks to reaction channels. Onset Live is an instrumental that really puts their musical skills on display. Moritorium Live is my favorite song from the band. Dragon Cries has a western sound as it was western produced but it's still a good song even though it's a little over compressed.
The thing with band maid is it is really hard to pick a best song, because all their songs are amazing, it is just a matter a taste. Also some of the songs will feature some of the band members slightly more than others so here is my advice: If you like: the singer and guitar: puzzle Live is the best to watch if you like drums: blooming is great (but I would save the one for a little later, or you will get your face melted off), moratorium Live is also great if you like the Bass: then dice or take me higher is great but any of the other band maid songs are amazing too I would suggest "real existence" next since the song has a great balance of focus on all the band members
The extra solo in the middle push it a level higher despite the sound quality. I wish I could hear Misa's solo better. If the sound was as good as the Zepp recording, it would be up there with Play.
OK, another youtuber just did a Band-Maid "Top 5" and asked others for their Top 5. To highlight just how much they don't have obvious best songs, 33 people submitted their top 5, and 43 different songs were chosen, and of those the most voted for song only made the top five of 15 of those 33 people. Only 7 people picked Domination. The most voted for song was "Dice", and this is a rarity as the studio version is actually a little better than the live versions out there th-cam.com/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/w-d-xo.html
Just the tip of the iceberg. I'm a newbie to Band-Maid as well. I ran across a random video on my recommended videos for their song Thrill about 6 weeks ago. I've been obsessed ever since. LOL These little ladies are absolute monsters, Each and every one of them in their own right. Just so fun to listen to, especially their live videos. Enjoy the rabbit hole...it's very deep. They have lots of material out there.
you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole B-M is, you are neck-deep after one song, I see someone has left you some songs as a guideline, but actually, it doesn't really matter which one you pick...whether is "Take Me Higher" or "Dice" or "Puzzle", same outstanding musicianship!!! Try to get them live as these girls don't mess up at all!!! to see a band that is as good as, if not even better, live than in a studio version is simply amazing! there is one constant and her name is Misaaaaaaa, Misa, Misa, Misa! I heard the best compliment that one has ever made about Misa..." they need to make a new version of " The Grudge", in which she plays you to death with her bass guitar"))) other than that, Miku, the rhythm guitar, is the main producer of the band - writes the lyrics and the music, most of it, actually a huge chunk of it, she is B-M version of Thoumas from Nightwish))) they call her the "little pigeon" - she is the mastermind of the band))) Whatever you find great about the band - you can attribute it to her. She produces everything...outfits, live performances, and her backing vocals...wow, simply wow!!! But as I said...Misa, she is out of this world...
As much as we love the Little Pigeon, but traditionally the main composer is Kanami. Miku adds the lyrics and carries on most of the publicity functions. And yes, she is the mastermind behind the band.
Who are they? The best goddamned hard rock band on the planet. At least since John, Paul, George and Ringo called it quits in 1970. They are in a league all their own. Sacramento loves Band-Maid. And yes, Mr Cook Australia does as well. Thanks for promoting the best hard rock band on the planet today. Regards.
All of their professional live recorded songs is amazing! Pick one at random! Even some of their fan-cams are pretty good too! Check out the MV Dice. It was the first one I saw and been a Band-Maidiac since!
If you ask BAND-MAID fan 5 year ago about becoming fan of cute Japanese girls wearing maid outfit, plenty of them never gonna believe it. Bacause when you go to their show, you will see teenager to an old man with similar age to your grandpa.
Thanks for the fun reaction session: It's always a blast to see someone who knows good music "discover" Band-Maid. I've been a serious fan for 3 years now and when this vid came out last month I went as nuts as you did. Like some of my fellow Maidiacs below say, run, don't walk to get deeper into their rich discography. BTW: this is teaser for a full concert Blu-Ray coming out at end of April 2020 - if this vid represents the recording quality of the whole disc, then I recommend taking your heart medicine before watching - because it promises to be awesome squared.
![WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AWESOMENESS ?!?! FIRST TIME HEARING BAND-MAID - PLAY - REACTION [REACT]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dbeCrg_wj8A/mqdefault.jpg)
You can literally pick any Band-Maid song and I'm sure you would not be disappointed. I'd recommend following songs:
Play (Live)
Don't you tell me (Live)
Moratorium (Live)
Onset (Live)
Blooming
Reincarnation
Welcome on the B-M hype train :D
Thank you so much!! I’m definitely going to be diving a little deeper into this band for sure!! Ole you stick around for more and make sure you’re subscribed if you’re not already my dude! 🤘🤘
@@CypherReacts Just subscribed and you will get a lot more with Band-Maid on your react list. I would request you watch the music video for "Don't you tell me" before the live video. I think it is a great song on its own and then they ramp it up on the live version. If you are up to it do a double reaction, first the video then the live.
Clayton thank you so much!! Got so much content on the way that I can’t wait to share with you!!
Great reaction mate, but you did get one thing wrong, and that was the idea that this song is the best one off the album it was on, because most of their MANY songs off ALL their albums are just as good Domination ! Band-Maid are the best Rock band around right now. If you also like Metal, ckeck out Lovebites, another amazing bunch of Japanese ladies who are just as talented as Band-Maid !
Welcome aboard, Jamie. You are embarking on (along with many others) an awesome hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of rock n’ rollers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off the rails spectacular.
Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 50 favorites! "Thrill" is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with over 20 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (sample “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/w-d-xo.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BR & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.).
Saiki Atsumi “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience.
Miku Kobato "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!!
Kanami Tono “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 28 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose "Gorilla" - Drums, 29 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumRilla” is the Party!
MISA "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Yes band maid time again.Love it.
Oh man, loved your reaction. Welcome to BAND-MAID world. They have such powerful songs. Some people have recommended masterpieces, but also you should listen to 'Screaming'. Really heavy, dude!
do blooming next please
That will be on the way!! Don’t you worry! Make sure you subscribe 🤘🤘
Kaname, the guitarist, is the master of the hook and riff. The rest of the band competes so hard to shine she has no need to hog the limelight. I'd recommend the live version of Play to get the lead in with a fantastic Bass solo. Real Existence is my personal favorite to show off the arrangements and how brilliant she is at being able to play like Keith Moon but at the same time actually keep time and fully support the music.
Your Reaction is much the same as Band-Maid fans. At least myself. I've not gotten excited about a new band in years. I've spent the last 20 years just sort of playing along on the drums with the same old classic rock I grew up with until I found these girls.
They do shows around the world each year. This year may not happen, but as soon as you get a chance you MUST go!
Don’t you worry! I’ll be jumping in the opportunity to go!! Haha got a lot more from band maid on the way so stick around!!
nice reaction!
more BAND MAID please
Don’t you worry! There is more! Make sure you’re subscribed!
I am looking forward to it
^_^
Well Jamie.. Welcome to the Band-Maid clan. Now, you have been Dominated and the only thing to keep it up, is to watch more and more and more. Not one single track is their best, they all are their best. As of Dice, Thrill, Moratorium (check this live version), Don't you Tell Me, Secret My Lips, Blooming, Rinne etc etc etc. These ladies are beyond awesome... they are LEGENDARY!
Since you are new, here is the breakdown:
Founder of the band, Rythm guitar and songwriter: Miku Kobato a.k.a. the pigeon
Lead guitar and composer: Kanami Tono a.k.a. goddess of the 6-string
On the Bass: Misa a.k.a. the assassin
On drums: Akane Hirose a.k.a. the beast from the east / the gorilla (loves bananas)
Vocals: Saiki Atsumi a.k.a. the queen
Band-Maid Trivia: At 5'7" (Misa) and 5'6" (Akane) are the two tallest members of the band (very tall by Japanese standards). Saiki is 5'4". Kanami is 5"2", and Miku is the shortest at 5'1".
I’m late to this party. Probably one of their best live performances. But if you decide to go down the Bamd-Maid rabbit hole, buckle up. You haven’t seen half of it.
And yes. Some of their songs have English phrases.
"This is the first all girl group I have watched..." Anyone going to tell this poor deprived man about Lovebites, Aldious, or Brats?... I'm just going to leave these here...
Lovebites:
th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
Aldious:
th-cam.com/video/Q9FJCPsDFfk/w-d-xo.html
Brats (Note -more of a punk vibe):
th-cam.com/video/ntJditD8hpQ/w-d-xo.html
P.S. Also listen to more Band-Maid. You can't go wrong with anything from them.
Hahaah thank you so much for the links!! I’ll definitely be looking into that! I’m interested in love bites so that will be coming soon! Hahaa I hope that you stick around!
granted hehe
I don't usually recommend Band Maid film clips as opposed to LIVE , cos they do live so damn well. BUT I think they caught the energy in this recent one. An amazing song IMO . Rinne (Reincarnation) > th-cam.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Paul! I’ll definitely give it a watch!
Band Maid and Babymetal, bands I both love but their are many great bands out of Japan you should react to. All metal female band check out Lovebites-When Destinies Collide. For over the top genre smashing fun you have Maximum the Hormone-Yoshu Fukushu. For old school metal goodness from grandpa you have Ningen Isu-Heartless Scat. All three of those bands will put a huge smile on your face.
Personally i dont have a problem with the pauses, but what I will say is that if you rewind like 5-10s before hitting play again it can satiate the haters a bit lol
Yes, it's a good piece of advice. I second it.
Great reaction and comments!
I love Babymetal, but Band Maid is a real hard rock band. A amazing band.
"Onset live" is so badass, please check and fall in love with this girls
th-cam.com/video/roP4HFlGBUI/w-d-xo.html
I will! I've got so much more on the way for you!! Make sure you're subscribed if you haven' already!
Slowly starting to realize that the Japanese music scene is absolutely amazing amirite ? :D
It’s on a level of its own!!
@@CypherReacts I'm more of a BABYMETAL fan but I gotta give credits to Band-Maid for being absolutely amazing. If you're more into J-Rock/Hardrock then Band-Maid will be your jam, if you're into some metal and metal fusion, BABYMETAL will be your jam. And there are also a ton of other amazing Japanese bands I've discovered since I fell in love with BABYMETAL.
Like, Galneryus is also amazing dude. Should add Galneryus - Angel of Salvation in your bucket list for a potential reaction, aswell as some Maximum The Hormone. I'd recommend to go with the live stuff on Galneryus straight away, they're tight af. :D
Awesome reaction my man! Welcome to Band-Maid fandom! Suggestion: 'Puzzle' live th-cam.com/video/3OuO0pgCBUo/w-d-xo.html
Sorrry not thrill but dice
Here is another all female J-metal band with an amazing guitarist "Mary's Blood" th-cam.com/video/MLM2unV0kwU/w-d-xo.html
Best rock band in the world.
They are amazinggg!! Got more on the way for you guys so I hope you stick around the channel for more!
The only competition would be The Hu, Unlucky Morpheus, Asterism,... maybe a couple more I forgot
I always love watching peoples' jaws hit the floor the first time they listen to band maid......
You’ll get that again my dude! Just filmed another and oh my god!! Make sure you’re subscribed to the channel!! So many bangers on the way!!
Especially LIVE!!! So perfect!!!
One of the odd things about Band-Maid is that they don't really have a "best song". They just have about 30 in joint 1st place. The two with most views on their channel are just the oldest. I will suggest a live version of one of those two, "Real Existence", for next, but there are so many. th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html It's the track they opened their shows with last year.
Yes people's favorite Band- Maid songs vary a lot because of the wide range of styles they play. I like more hard rock and pop so the songs that are catchy (Dice, Choose Me) are the ones i prefer but others love the heavy stuff (Reincarnation, Domination).
thats true , and a lot come even more to life live. Insane standard of writing.
They opened with this ? Fuuuuuuck !
@Evren G.Nez My guess is not that he had never heard of the song before but that "if they opened with this what was the rest of the concert like"
I think i saw a playlist and this one actually came towards the end of the show but I could be wrong
RevStickleback , have to disagree, I think they have more like 50 best songs, I’m finding it difficult to find many I don’t like 🤘👍👍
Kanami (lead guitar) is just a genius songsmith. And adding Miku's lyrics and input from the rest of this talented band, it's all GOLD. Looking forward to more reactions! Po!
Thank you so much!! I'm so excited to do more of this band!! What a first song to hear!! Make sure you're subscribed my dude! A lot more on the way!!
Oh, you have no idea. Down the rabbit hole he goes...
It's a rabbit hole I hope I never escape from.
They are the most talented, charismatic, fun band I’ve ever seen in my 53 years and they’re singing (partly) in a foreign language. The language barrier matters not a bit and this is the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to the journey. Along with “The Warning” from Mexico they are the saviours of rock.
they are something else!! I'll definitely do another reaction!
Jamie Wilson The Warning out of Mexico and their epic rock opera masterpiece album Queen of The Murder Scene completes the current awesome trinity of female groups
🤟🤟To my fellow 53 yr old🤟🤟
What you have just seen is just a small taste of what this band has to offer. I can guarantee you that.
I look forward to seeing more Harry!! Hope you stick around for more!!
@@CypherReacts Sure
BabyMetal sing and dance with a band...Band Maid IS the band!
Their live stuff really shines with extra solos and battles.
_I suggest when you pause to comment, you re-start 5 seconds back...just sayin._
Stay safe....Chur from NZL.
Babymetal have a cast of fucking awesome musicians from japan working in the background while 3 girls sings.
Band-Maid is a cast of fucking awesome musicians from japan doing most of the work
You can see why my two favorite groups are BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL.
Even though their genre, presentation, etc. is totally different.
They both execute on stage at the higest level.
Here's a little condensed history.
Miku Kobato (rhythm guitar and lyricist) had previously worked at a Maid Café and thought it would be fun to take that kind of cuteness and contrast it with Rock 'n' Roll.
After finding her lead guitarist Kanami Tōno via an Internet search, the rest of the members (drummer Akane Hirose and bassist MISA) were added as the new members referred her to other musicians they had worked with and liked.
Miku started off handling lead vocals, but the band decided to add an additional singer to expand their range.
Saiki Atsumi was selected after auditions.
Their whole catalog is solid, but I have only one request.
React to the song 'Secret My Lips': th-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/w-d-xo.html
BEFORE reacting to 'Secret Maiko Lips', the special April 1st 2018 version. Trust me on this one.
Rick, I love BABYMETAL＆BAND-MAID too !
They give me energy at ease.
Rick Wagner in a Band Maid reaction? Im shocked! lol
Ah, Rick you left out the best part, they went to their agency looking for a singer. The agency did had someone but they didn't think she would go for the maid uniforms. So they auditioned Saiki without telling her about the maid uniforms nor did she meet Miku! Saiki rehearsed with Kanami, Akane and MISA only. On the day before their first gig, Saiki met Miku and was given her maid uniform!! Personally I thank all the gods of Japan that she stayed
@@outwest1014 And now Saiki wouldn't dream of stepping on stage without her "battle armor", i.e. customized maid costume. : )
@Shane Ashcraft I'm optimistic about seeing them both again in 2021.
Especially if they hit Southern California. That beer sounds great.
Not any where near the top song, as every song by BAND-MAID is unbelievable. Just pick one.
I can agree it’s the only one I’ve seen so far but wow!! Should I do another?
Jamie Wilson yes do “Moratorium” or “Don’t you tell me” or any one. Just make sure it’s live.
@@CypherReacts If you can stop playing this version non stop at 11 then I'd definitely recommend you do another Bandmaid or several.
This live version is WAY better than the original
@@CypherReacts If you keep doing Band-Maid, you'll get more likes than you ever thought possible - they are the most addicting band ever. We all remember our first time...
If you want more Band-Maid: Play and Onset are songs where their talents are on full display. Live versions are best.
And Blooming! Imo Best Solo...
Waynem Lambert I had to cancel my trip to Japan to go to Knotfest to see BAND-MAID and Babymetal live ... the virus sucks big time
Welcome to the last level, there is nothing better beyond. These ladies have pass seven years in the harsh panorama of Japanese rock music, opening a gap based on pure talent and charisma. It is not metal, it is not punk, it is not funk, it is all together in each of their songs. You have just discovered a band for a lifetime.
I can’t wait to discover more!! And I’ll be bringing you all with me!! I can’t wait!! Make sure you’re subscribed my dude!! So much more to come!!

Band-Maid is to Rock, what BabyMetal is to Metal:
PURE... UNADULTERATED... AWESOMENESS.
Both groups make me feel so freaking proud of Japan... and I'm not even Asian lol xD
They are on a whole new level Jorge!! I hope you enjoyed the video and that you stick around for more!!
The Maidiacs have arrived to your channel Jamie!! Congratts! I knew you would enjoy Band-Maid and this video was just the tip of the iceberg. I subbed so don't even mention it! LOL! Just do more of the best rock band on the planet.
Saw these girls first in London in 2018 and I was instantly hooked. Been a huge fan ever since. I'm even learning Japanese because of them. You're right about their talent, and their songs give them all a chance to shine, especially live. As for other tracks to try, I must have around 30 of their tracks on my favourite list but maybe Moratorium or Real Existence or Non Fiction Days (live versions of course.) Would be a good way to follow Domination........po!!!!! (Gotta love the little pigeon).😁
Their live performances are very good along with their beautiful songs too. BAND-MAID is life 💙
Agreed!!
Next➡Dice or Blooming or Onset (Live version) or Play(Live version)
Welcome to band Maid Jamie, is different look, but is hard rock, fusion of metal, blues, funk, good journey
I can't wait to continue this journey!! I love it!!
So Jamie, you’ve discovered BAND-MAID. Great reaction, you seem to enjoy them.
Fasten your seatbelt. These ladies will rock your socks off. The most common thing people comment about them is that their favorite Band-Maid song is the one that they just listened to.
🤘
He’ll yeah Rick I’m ready for a ride!!
More Band-Maid, please! They're literally unable to produce a bad song.
Don’t you worry! Loads more on the way!!
I like this Japanese rock and metal route you're taking. I've been a huge fan of jpop and jmetal for years now. By the way if you want to hear a really cool Japanese metal song I recommend ningen isu with heartless scat! Many youtubers have reacted to this song already. I immediately loved this song first time hearing it!
Thank you so much!! I’ll definitely be looking into that one!! This band are great!!
Add maximum the hormone on your playlist you can choose any song
There are two kinds of people. Those who love Band-Maid and those who haven't heard them yet. I'm 42, former musician and sound engineer, worked in the music industry for 10 year and I'm pretty damn sure I've never heard a better band. I've listened to them for about four years and seen them live 15-ish times despite them never playing in Sweden. I can without a doubt say they are in the top ten list of the bands live I have ever seen and I still haven't heard a song I don't like. They are four insanely talented musicians and a brilliant Miku on background vocals and rhythm guitar. No one is better at being Miku than she is. Every band should have a Miku!
Oh and by the way, I'm happy you didn't fall in to the whole comparing them to Babymetal-thing. The only thing they've got in common is that they are female and Japanese.
i am with you man, I too am a musician , made12 album and played internationally, BUT.. i have NEVER seen a band this good, anywhere. Friggin amazing. players. arrangers, writers , performers and okay lets admit it adorably presented with great personalities. I became a fan for life 5 years ago, and am still being constantly amazed at what they keep bringing out . Astounding talent and vibe ! Hey , I just remember , I jammed with a singer Pia Power and her band in Malmo in 95.
"Every band should have a Miku!" What a great line. You are spot on.
Yep, big credit for Miku. the best thing about him is that he managed to find Kanami and saiki
you my friend are in for a long journey with the maids-been around since 2013 with 6 cd's of kick ass rock.not a bad song to be found. and if you love the maids like most of us do the mv for the song 'dice' is an absolute must react.then 'real existence',thrill' their first video from 2014,alone,non fiction days,choose me,and then just keep going. and if you want your ass kicked even more listen to-once again 5 gorgeous japanese girls that will melt your face and heart- the band'lovebites' best power metal band on the planet-start with mv's for 'when destinies align' and 'shadowmaker ' and keep going. 2 beautifull shredders that will rip your face off!don't miss them. i just subscribed. i'm watching!!the cd and song is domination-their goal is world domination-but as i mentioned the song 'dice' is probably the best song off of this cd- DO NOT miss it!
my dude!! Thank you so much for the support!! 2K subscribers is in touching distance haha, I know i've got a long journey into band maid but i'm ready to go and i'm so glad that you're joining me!!
Wc to the world.of amazing ladies, please check out blooming by bandmaid
I will be! Don't you worry! I hope you stick around the channel for more content for you!
Great reaction Jamie! Babymetal fans bring you to Band Maid it usually happens in either direction. And Band Maid is awesome as well! Please react to:
1. Play Live
2. Dice official music video
3. Take me higher live
4. Puzzle live
Hope to see more reaction soon.
Every song this band has is good, and I'm not exaggerating. A lot of people like to recommend "Play (live)" as one of the first songs you should listen to, but I personally like to recommend the official music video for "Dice". When I first started listening to this band, Dice was the first song that really blew me away.
Band Maid- PLAY.... official mv there first vid and Pretty kewl..... please...
Excellent reaction! You have a new sub! An old rocker in his 50s here. If you would have told me 20 years ago that one of my favorite bands would be five petite Japanese ladies dressed in maid outfits, I would have called you crazy......yet here we are. You're right, this is the title track off their "World Domination" album.
Hell yeah ron! Thank you so much my dude!! Gonna be doing more from these guys and many more bands!! Maybe you’ll find another band you’ll love from my videos!
Oh, long time Band Maid fan. Seeing your reaction video in my feed drew me to your channel. All female rock/metal bands has actually become quite the trend in Japan lately. If you get a chance, check these ladies out. They'll blow you away too!
Lovebites - "When Destinies Align": th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html
I will my dude!! Thank you so much!!!
LOOOL!! Not much beats to see first reactions to Band-Maid! =D
Domination top song of album? All songs on the album are as good as this. And almost every song thay made...
Congrats...you have much fun to look forward to! And us others too...this is from an upcoming DVD/Bluray.
I dont know if you heard Lovebites? More japanese girls that hooked me completely. After only listen to Band-Maid for months, I bought all Lovebites albums and now only listen to THEM....
I’ve got more band maid on the way and I’ve been recommended to listen to love bites too! Hope you stick around the channel, got loads more content on the way!
This was the 22nd song of the set. The crowd reacts like that for all of them. The band includes audience reactions into the songs. I don't know of a bad song by them.
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid brother. You're up to a great journey my friend!
thank you so much my dude! I hope you stick around the channel for more band maid and more!!
Great reaction yet again! You made a brilliant choice when you chose Road of Resistance as your first Babymetal experience and an excellent choice here for your first taste of Band-Maid. This is one of the best live Rock songs I've seen in many years and all these women are skilled and passionate musicians and singers. My music listening is split between Band-Maid and Babymetal almost exclusively these days (though Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and the brilliant Underworld also get a look in occasionally). Haven't found a bad Band-Maid track yet and, like Babymetal, they really shine brightest live and there is a lot of live stuff out there as well as many really good studio videos. They are Miku Kobato = Vocals / Rhythm Guitar (the gorgeous and wacky founder of the band), Saiki Atsumi = Vocals, Kanami Tono = Lead Guitar, Akane Hirose = Drummer and Misa = Bass. If you want to see just how wacky - but in a beautiful and sweet and fascinatingly hard to stop watching kind of way, then there's some great clips of Miku giving one of her 10 minute chats to the audience which, while containing no music, are great fun to watch. Here's one of the best - Miku's Majinai (Magic) Time: th-cam.com/video/x6iSf73LiQ0/w-d-xo.html . A reaction to it might be good but, if you're sticking to music reactions, then brighten up your day with a watch of this! Look forward to watching lots more of your Band-Maid and Babymetal reactions as they've been excellent so far and can tell from your enthusiasm and passion for heavy but gorgeous Japanese bands that have the initials BM that you'll continue doing so. Stay safe out there. As Babymetal said at the end of the two concerts they streamed on Fri and Sat, "Stay Home. Stay Metal".
Seconded! I love this video of Miku's Magic Spell Time :)
Thank you so much for the kind words again my dude!! Been doing all I can to bring the best reaction content I can!! So I’m so so glad that I’m pleasing you with what I’m releasing
@@Jonas_S_ Best 10 minutes ever! Plus she is almost unfeasibly beautiful so not hard to watch and funny and cute too. Enjoy!
@@CypherReacts Thanks man. Now go and smile widely and have a well-earned 10 minutes of staring in wonder at Miku's Majinai Time!
do ONSET live it is a band solo fkn awesome and PLAY live
I'll check it out Jay! Don't worry! Just make sure you're subscribed my dude!!
Interesting reaction 👍
There are heaps of great Japanese women bands at the moment. Band Maid is a great heavy rock band. Lovebites is an excellent metal girl band I would like to see you react to. Here are a couple of links for them: a recent one th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html and the one that got me hooked on them. They also just released a live from Wacken 2018 a few hours ago th-cam.com/video/O-h6prRw110/w-d-xo.html
First Babymetal, and now Band Maid, you have got a new suscriber ! Great reaction by the way, and you just scratch the surface of the japanese Music world. there is so much crazy talented bands and artists in Japan, and not only in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock. you can try One OK Rock, X Japan, Ningen Isu, Man with a Mission, and Many, Many other bands
Great reaction dude. I think their versatility is so great their Songs are mostly hard rock but they have so much influences (Grunge, metal, blues...., accoustic and even traditional japanses instruments if you count the Band Maiko stuff) in their music it is awesome.
If you can stick to the live versions with the Exceptions of Blooming, Dice, Rinne and Dragon Cries.
You discovered pure gold here !
Thank you martin! got more band maid on the way soon!! I hope you stick around the channel
This isn't the best song on the album, it's one of a number of songs that are equally amazing.
The backup guitarist/vocal use to work in a maid cafe at Japan’s Akihabra.
That’s awesome!! Shows that talent can come from anywhere
@@CypherReacts Her name is Miku and like Manny said, she used to work as a waitress in a maid cafe which is where she got the idea of "how about a band of cute girls in maid outfits that play rock that will melt your face off".
She was actually in a small idol group that never got any far. But being an idol is not just about being a performer, but also about being able to sell yourself or the band. While she started off as the weakest musically of the band, (rumour has it she had never touched a guitar before) she was the one with charisma to make up for it. She managed to collect all these talented musicians and convinced them of her vision.
I'm happy to see someone else discover Japanese rock and metal. I discovered it about a year ago (starting with BAND-MAID) and haven't looked back. 99% of what I listen to is Japanese now, even though I don't understand a word of it.
BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL are my favorites, but here are some other suggestions when you're ready to branch out (but please keep doing BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL vids too!)

Don’t you worry! So much more to come! Just make sure you’re subscribed to the channel!!
@@CypherReacts Done and done. Almost to 2k!
Thank you so much!! I’ve been so so excited to hit that goal! I’m gonna get myself a youtube plaque someday!!
Their pop bands like Scandal, Negoto, Girlfriend, Polka Dot Stingray and crazy stuff like Kyary Pamu are all worth checking out too. Dont be afraid , they are very inventive.
Paul Read I agree. I’ve recently fallen in love with Silent Siren. Very poppy, very catchy, which is not normally my thing, but they really do it for me. Just really fun music. Check out Fujiyama Disco.
Band Maid is great. They’re all great musicians, as you mentioned. Try Onset Live - that one prompted me to order two CDs from their online store just to support them in a small way. I say ‘small’ but their prices are pretty steep actually. But since that was the point of ordering them anyway, that’s ok. I don’t have the link handy being on a stationary bike since they closed down the park... but the one you’d want should be the first listed option - and it sure does have a light show with it. Too much actually as far as I’m concerned. Suggestions for your channel? Maybe do a little dance as the videos are playing? OK only 200 more calories to go now!
Hahaha Kevin thank you my dude!! Hope you’re enjoying that bike!! I’ve been trying to stay a bit fit from my room but that’s not easy when I keep filming and editing for hours hahaha definitely going to diving deeper into this band!! Next level!!
The product is exy as Japan supports its music industry...but then you get bands promoted like Band Maid , and many more , of extreme quality. 1 album by bands from Japan like this has as much as 3 albums from western bands as far a good content, so they are well worth supporting from our side too.
Yes, I agree. Japanese bands have made music fun to listen to again for me.
This is an interview done last year with English subs. th-cam.com/video/Q6OL5qJ0RiM/w-d-xo.html And if you want something heavier, check out Mary’s Blood. The lead guitarist, Saki, is a total bad ass.
This is the 4th song on their 2nd full-album World Domination. They have 3 full albums, Just Bring It, World Domination, and Conqueror. They also have 5 mini-albums and several singles. They formed in July 2013. This song and "Dice" from World Domination were released as MVs. They have a lot of videos on TH-cam and a library of over 90 songs. Their 1st video is "Thrill". th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their songs are mostly a mix of Japanese and English though they have two all in English. The most recent is "The Dragon Cries" off of Conqueror, produced by Tony Visconti, the producer of David Bowie and T-Rex. th-cam.com/video/skEkpogsmE0/w-d-xo.html
Their MVs are all solid but they are even better live. Yes, Japanese audiences are often more interactive, and Japanese bands feed off the audience energy. Finally, they are not the only all-female Japanese rock band. Lovebites, Aldious, Scandal, Silent Siren, Mary's Blood, Mutant Monster, Otoboke Beaver, and many others. And all genres metal, pop-rock, punk, etc.
Add unlucky Morpheus.
@@charleslatora5750 Great band but not all female, I will add Gacharic Spin and Doll$boxx which is Gacharic Spin + Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus.
My headset is at full right now with Onset Live WOW
Jamie Wilson hello, I won't say how great this band is. You will read all sorts of comments regarding the wonderful diversity of their music. All I can say is for me I have been waiting for a long time to become interested in music again. Band maid blew open that door. It also allowed me to find many other amazing Japanese all female bands. Though for me Band Maid is top tier po.Have fun on this crazy journey . Be safe. New subscriber here.
Kanami (lead guitar) is so awesome, yet she is so meek and quiet in real life. When she gets on stage though, she transforms into a Rock Goddess. 🎸🎶
I see our spokespigeon I subscribe 💖 welcome to the pigeon hole of wonders 🎉
Such a great performance! Band Maid have a lot of great songs, try some more out!
If you're interested in other recommendations how about the song Take My Chance by the band DOLL$BOXX?
got so many more on the way so I hope that you stick around the channel my dude!
Nice reaction. I play guitar with other musicians and I can tell you these girls are masters of their instruments. The songwriting, song structure is very professional. My jaw dropped the first time I saw Band Maid on you tube. Now I am obsessed. Fantastic band
hell yeah!! They are mad!! I love it!! Got more on the way so make sure you have yourself subscribed!
And Onset Live has a great Light show as well
Yes Band Maid !!! Thank you!
You’re welcome my dude!! Enjoy!
Jamie Wilson here is a little background on them. BTW they have no bad songs. My favorite is the one currently playing. They all Rock especially their live performances.
th-cam.com/video/pYufMaaDBMM/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy ! Thanks again for Band Maid !
The leads tapping in Onset, as well as the Bass solo WOW
Many people will recommend the live version. And that's right. Because they are the best live band.
However, "Alone" "DICE" and "Blooming" recommend MV.
Thank you so much!! Got more BM on the way!! You’re gonna love it!! Make sure you’re subscribed as well! Join the journey!!
I actually like DICE in the live version, it sounds heavier and has an extended intro
I'd recommend "Rinne" MV too. 🔥
Great first reaction, it mirrored my own first reaction. When I first discovered them I was led to them from Babymetal. I was totally blown away, this is the best hard rocking band that I've heard in over 30 years (I started listening to rock in the 1950's). I had given up on rock a while back (with a few exceptions), but these ladies turned that around. I now listen to their music every day. I also found that discovering Band-Maid and Babymetal opened a whole floodgate of exceptional gifted Japanese rock/metal musicians that was refreshingly innovative and original (as much as that can happen). It seems like the Japanese music scene is willing to try just about anything and see what happens (Ladybaby is a great example lol) and some times it just clicks, like Band-Maid. They're like the Beatles, Cream, Zep - without each member it probably would have failed.
Who are they you ask...
Well, it kind of started With Miku Kobato (backing vocals, guitar, spokes-pigeon). She had been a part of a failed all girl Idol-Group, and had in 2013 been working at this maid themed cafè for some months when she got the idea for a band. Band-maid. She needed a guitarist since she could'nt, but she didn't know any either, so she found Kanami Tono on youtube. After a few mails they deicided to meet. They hit of very well and she called her friend Akane Hirose( Drummer and part gorilla to the vocalist); whom she had been working With a lot earlier. She also thought the concept was cool, so she got in. Now it was a little worse With her friend from Music School. Misa didn't really fall for the maid thingy, so the Girls made a compromise. They found a Turkish maid-outfit, which also kind of gave her some more assassin like look.
I started of well they did some songs, but i believe Miku herself wasnt really satisfied. With her own performance. though she had a Sweet pop-voice, it didn't really blend well With the hard-rock sound they were aiming for. So they found Saiki through some auditions... She liked the Girls, but has claimed that she didn't know about the "maid" clause, and if she did it wasnt sure if she had joined the band. I believe she in an interview said both the band and agent kept it a Secret. At least she has embraced the lead vocals and her more Spanish style :)
Great band! So much to take from! Enjoy!
P.s. If the Young pigeon didn't play guitar… then how did she learn? Well… Kanami would'nt allow her to stand in the back and just do the backing, so she gave her a promise that she would learn her to play. She is still Learning and has become a good rythm guitarist, laying a solid foundation where Kanami can play around.
Lyrics? It's about taking a chance on taking on the world and having confidence to do it despite what others believe. At least how i read the translation.
MISA MISA MISA! song 22 of 23 song set I flew from Melbourne Australia to LA (approx 8000 miles) last year JUST to see Band-Maid (saw them twice at the Echoplex)
Onset Live. Thank me later. you have no idea how lucky you are, young man. The last 20 years of rock has been absolute shit since the end of the grunge period. There have been some exceptions like Shinedown but in general it's either stupid growly metal or pop/hiphop infused rock. Band Maid is the best rock band I've heard in an extremely long time. They have blown up this year thanks to reaction channels. Onset Live is an instrumental that really puts their musical skills on display. Moritorium Live is my favorite song from the band. Dragon Cries has a western sound as it was western produced but it's still a good song even though it's a little over compressed.
The thing with band maid is it is really hard to pick a best song, because all their songs are amazing, it is just a matter a taste. Also some of the songs will feature some of the band members slightly more than others so here is my advice:
If you like:
the singer and guitar: puzzle Live is the best to watch
if you like drums: blooming is great (but I would save the one for a little later, or you will get your face melted off), moratorium Live is also great
if you like the Bass: then dice or take me higher is great
but any of the other band maid songs are amazing too
I would suggest "real existence" next since the song has a great balance of focus on all the band members
Best rock and roll band of the last decade. Technically as good as Rush. As tight as Ac DC. Brilliant.
Thank you great reaction. More Band maid please.
Don’t you worry! Just make sure you’re subscribed
The best band on the planet!! Band Maid CRUSHES baby metal.
BAND-MAID / 輪廻 ( RINNE )
Sorry, this is not the best song on the album. They're ALL this good!
You can never play to much Band-Maid !!
This is one of their more “meh” songs in my opinion...you’ll see. Lol
The extra solo in the middle push it a level higher despite the sound quality. I wish I could hear Misa's solo better. If the sound was as good as the Zepp recording, it would be up there with Play.
Hard disagree on the "meh"
Hard disagree on the "meh" too :-) one of the best drum work here
OK, another youtuber just did a Band-Maid "Top 5" and asked others for their Top 5. To highlight just how much they don't have obvious best songs, 33 people submitted their top 5, and 43 different songs were chosen, and of those the most voted for song only made the top five of 15 of those 33 people. Only 7 people picked Domination. The most voted for song was "Dice", and this is a rarity as the studio version is actually a little better than the live versions out there th-cam.com/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/w-d-xo.html
Thank y so much for letting me know my dude! I do have that one on the way so don’t you worry
Just the tip of the iceberg. I'm a newbie to Band-Maid as well. I ran across a random video on my recommended videos for their song Thrill about 6 weeks ago. I've been obsessed ever since. LOL These little ladies are absolute monsters, Each and every one of them in their own right. Just so fun to listen to, especially their live videos. Enjoy the rabbit hole...it's very deep. They have lots of material out there.
MISA is 5'7" and Akane is 5'6", so they aren't all "little." LOLOLOL
@@ShikataGaNai100 Not meant as by their actual size but a term of endearment. A southern US colloquialism.
Band maid onset live and play live 🖤🖤🖤
you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole B-M is, you are neck-deep after one song, I see someone has left you some songs as a guideline, but actually, it doesn't really matter which one you pick...whether is "Take Me Higher" or "Dice" or "Puzzle", same outstanding musicianship!!! Try to get them live as these girls don't mess up at all!!! to see a band that is as good as, if not even better, live than in a studio version is simply amazing! there is one constant and her name is Misaaaaaaa, Misa, Misa, Misa! I heard the best compliment that one has ever made about Misa..." they need to make a new version of " The Grudge", in which she plays you to death with her bass guitar"))) other than that, Miku, the rhythm guitar, is the main producer of the band - writes the lyrics and the music, most of it, actually a huge chunk of it, she is B-M version of Thoumas from Nightwish))) they call her the "little pigeon" - she is the mastermind of the band))) Whatever you find great about the band - you can attribute it to her. She produces everything...outfits, live performances, and her backing vocals...wow, simply wow!!! But as I said...Misa, she is out of this world...
As much as we love the Little Pigeon, but traditionally the main composer is Kanami. Miku adds the lyrics and carries on most of the publicity functions. And yes, she is the mastermind behind the band.
Who are they? The best goddamned hard rock band on the planet. At least since John, Paul, George and Ringo called it quits in 1970. They are in a league all their own. Sacramento loves Band-Maid. And yes, Mr Cook Australia does as well. Thanks for promoting the best hard rock band on the planet today. Regards.
All of their professional live recorded songs is amazing! Pick one at random! Even some of their fan-cams are pretty good too! Check out the MV Dice. It was the first one I saw and been a Band-Maidiac since!
Girl metal/rock bands you say,just head to japan.
I would LOVEEEE to go!!
@@CypherReacts Lovebites/Aldious/Bridear/Marys blood to name but a few.........
If you ask BAND-MAID fan 5 year ago about becoming fan of cute Japanese girls wearing maid outfit, plenty of them never gonna believe it. Bacause when you go to their show, you will see teenager to an old man with similar age to your grandpa.
😂😂😂😂😂
Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals
Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar
Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, percussion
Misa - bass guitar (the barefoot assassin)
Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals
Thanks for the fun reaction session: It's always a blast to see someone who knows good music "discover" Band-Maid. I've been a serious fan for 3 years now and when this vid came out last month I went as nuts as you did. Like some of my fellow Maidiacs below say, run, don't walk to get deeper into their rich discography. BTW: this is teaser for a full concert Blu-Ray coming out at end of April 2020 - if this vid represents the recording quality of the whole disc, then I recommend taking your heart medicine before watching - because it promises to be awesome squared.
