Strong agree, as a western metal guy in my late 40s it's the one which did it for me, but SPECIFICALLY the original/official live in Japan version: th-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/w-d-xo.html . I have never seen better crowd control and engagement, by any band, ever. Bold statement I know, but I've been to a lot of concerts and Babymetal are truly impressive in that regard.* Also Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997: th-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/w-d-xo.html *With Japanese crowds. I've seen them live in my own country and there not quite as much, would be a cultural/fanbase thing. There are a number of their songs - the older ones in particular - which I bounce off of (glad your first exposure wasn't Gimme Chocolate, it's worth watching a couple of times for the hell of it, but it's not on my playlist) but many are great.
Next suggestion: - *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015), it's the most epic live version and with the best sound and technical execution by the best musicians you can find in Japan, after this mind-blowing performance you're ready for any other newer version. 🦊🤘🔥

As this video illustrates, Babymetal is all about the live performance above all else. Their stadium live stage shows in Japan are all on this kind of level of spectacle. Babymetal fans often say that Babymetal is a theatrical production as much as it is a band, because their stadium live stage shows in Japan are all on this kind of level of epic production, and their use of choreography, costumes, moving stage elements and video displays take their shows beyond a simple concert. I was actually at the show where this was filmed and was even more spectacular to experience in person that it is on video. It was their first live performance after an 18 month hiatus, so the crowd was particularly hyped for it. The interaction with the live audience is a huge part of Babymetal's performance, which is why we always recommend that reactors watch their live performances, as that is where they shine brightest. As for what to watch next, my recommendation is "Megitsune" Live @ PIA Arena 2023 - th-cam.com/video/edbqQ-ldF_U/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction, happy man, you've just glimpsed an unknown land in the distance. Approaches, continue your journey, this is your new home, wonders await you, you'll never go back !
Great first reaction, welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊This was filmed in January 2023, this was the opening number for their 'BABYMETAL Returns' concerts - their first live shows in nearly 2 years as they came back from taking a lengthy hiatus. 'Metal Kingdom' is the first track and intro on the album they released in March 2023 - so of course they used it for the epic opening number at these concerts. They really do put on the best shows when they play the arenas in Japan (obviously they don't have the huge productions on their world tours, but they still put on the best live shows even without all the moving stages and so on). They're not just concerts they are events that you experience - and the audience is a huge part of their live shows, they make a point of involving and including everybody. Their crowd control is incredible. Su-metal is the lead vocalist and she is amazing. The whole concept was formed and developed around her vocal talents and stage presence in 2010 ... she was only 12 years old. BABYMETAL are a trio. The original three were Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal (Yui and Moa were 11 when they started). Yes all 3 sing, but Yui and Moa are mainly backing vocals and harmonies. Their main function is leading the choreo (which is bespoke for each song and interpretive - quite helpful for those of us who don't speak Japanese ... although as you said, when it all sounds so good and engages you regardless of the language it doesn't matter so much) and engaging with and leading the crowd. Yuimetal last appeared in October 2017, she missed the 2018 tour because of an ongoing health issue (nobody knows what) and in October 2018 she announced she was still not fully recovered and had decided she would leave the band to follow her own personal dreams. Su and Moa continued as a duo for the next 4 or 5 years, supported from 2019 by three dancers (the Avengers Riho, Kano and Momoko) who would take turns dancing, but not singing, in the third spot. At the end of the shows in January last year they teased there would be a new third member and in the next big shows ('BABYMETAL Begins') in April last year they revealed the last remaining Avenger Momoko (Riho is now a solo artist, Kano is in a JPop group) would be the new member - so she is now Momometal ... and she has her microphone to sing as well ... and it seems she is bringing something new to BABYMETAL with some metal growls. They always had some growls and screaming in a lot of their songs, but they were on backing track with additional instruments like synth, piano, strings and so on. They are supported in live shows by the Kami Band (2 lead guitars, bass and drums), all of them world class musicians. The Kami Band of the East (Japanese session musicians) first appeared in October 2012 and became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014. The January 2023 concerts were the last time (to date) that they appeared. There were many Kami Band members who would swap in and out depending on their availability, but the same hard core of about 6 musicians played the majority of shows in those 9 years. In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians Chris Kelly, CJ Masciantonio, Clint Tustin and Anthony Barone) were introduced to support BABYMETAL on their increasingly lengthy foreign tours. They have played every concert since the April 2023 shows - that was nearly 100 shows in 25 countries in 2023 and I've lost count of the concerts and festivals they have already played this year. Clint Tustin on bass has been replaced by Ryan Neff for some shows in the US last year and most shows this year as Clint is performing with his own band. This was the official video, so the audio was from the studio recording dubbed over the live performance video .... the DVD has the live audio and, as is always the case when you get Su-metal's live vocals and the Kami Band's live instrumentals, it is even better. BABYMETAL are like no other band, they do things their own way (having 3 vocalists and introducing choreographed dance to metal for a start), but from their original idea of fusing metal with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics they have gone on to mix and blend so many more musical styles and genres with the metal. They have about 70 songs now, each on different to the last. Expect the unexpected - and they will still surprise you nearly every time. I'm sure you will get a load of great suggestions for more songs. To start you off with something completely different I will suggest a very early song live at Su-metal's 16th birthday celebration in December 2013 - 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997. You can find it posted by abr metal.
Loved catching your reaction, l&s look forward to more! You are in for years of enjoyment finding individual performances, they are always excellent, always theatrical, always put on a show, and no two songs or live versions of songs are exactly the same. The only thing you can count on is it will be fun, it will be excellent, and it will be different. TLDR - history and why i suggest a song after this Their first performances they were teenagers, borrowing clothes from family and friends to try to match on stage, playing strip malls or small stages mostly with people they knew attending. They had a song go viral in Japan in about 2011-2012 that led to them getting some music house gigs (think small venue of like 1k-3k) that packed and sold out, then one of those in 2013 went world-wide viral which led to them getting invited to perform a side stage at Sonisphere festival in the UK - but just before the show they got bumped to the main stage (think 50k+ UK metalheads who have almost all never heard of Babymetal). They crushed that performance, and skyrocketed from there to this day. Super talented, hard working, impressive in every single aspect of their music and shows. All that said, I'd suggest "BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)" from their main channel, it's the final song of their set that day, and they nailed the whole performance to the point where the crows was chanting for more. Su-Metal (lead singer) waving to the crowd at the end of the song is just such pure joy as well.
Babymetal "Death" legend 97 apocalypse live video another suggestion "Rondo of nightmare" with the mischief's of metal gods intro welcome to the cult i mean the fox hole😂
To go along with some of the other suggestions, if you choose to do headbanger, should do the Legend 1997 live first. I would actually suggest to do a double reaction in one for it though. With Legend 1997 being the first version followed by the Moabanger version of it for the second. There are a couple other versions, including Momobanger, however, at the moment, the only version of Momobanger that's available is a compilation and can be quite confusing on the visual vs audio.
4:47 I thought they were going to start polishing the floo🤣 But it was a good good reaction The fox hanging out in the hole must be wagging its tail to celebrate its victory. I hope they continue to make BABYMETAL a part of the channel's history kitune UP!!🦊🤘
Welcome to the Foxhole (or BabyMetal's journey)🦊🤘🔥 Although this song was part of the 5 singles from latest album called The Other One, isn't one of the best exponents for first time watching what these girls can do on stage, regardless we love this performance and song although they didn't play it anymore. Yesterday they already finished the Europe Tour making everyone rocking out with many more songs and hits. Here's some brief info about them: BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal". They are: *SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26. *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24, next week is her birthday. -YuiMetal- scream and dance, former member since 2018. *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 21 and is the new official member since April 1st last year. None of them are related. After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said. They got their own backing band when playing live called the Kami Band, but none of them are official members and in general they don't play studio album tracks like this one. In the full live version (with live sound) they're playing thou. More of them later. About this song: This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch production. Many others found Game Of Thrones resemblance on this stage setup, it just looks insane. The ten apostles are holding crossiers with "The Other One" logo which is similar to the infinite symbol "OO"♾️ and is the title of this album. The girls are carrying some kind of trident similar to the Spear Of Destiny or Lance Of Longinus from Evangelion anime series, if you know MoaMetal you know you gotta be careful with her. 🔱 Here's some official info about this song: METAL KINGDOM (THRONE) _"It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning."_ Ending January at Makuhari Messe, they held two big live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they met up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production. SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. Those freaking cinematic drone shots make you feel like you're in a movie. There's also a dance choreo version performed first outside of Japan during the World Tour 2023 and some fans witnessed this even more gorgeous performance, later they did it in their own country at an exclusive show only for fans. This is a live proshot version but with studio album sound, we already got a live sound version with the WOWOW broadcast and the released DVD/BD version of BM Begins - The Other One live at PIA Arena MM, now with the three girls together on stage. We had so many big news and announcements back then, a new official member was announced to come next live shows in April 1st (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama, MomoMetal was the one blessed by the Fox God as a new official member. Also they performed with a new BM subunit coming from another world of this metalverse, they got new songs exclusive for them as well live shows and festivals following BM path. I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get more proshot clips safe to react if YT allows me to do it. Meanwhile next suggestion: - *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015). Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘🔥
Babymetal is not a band you can judge from one song. There is so much range and variety you can't pigeonhole them. As far as vocals , it is mostly going to be Sumetal (suzuka) the one you saw doing most of the singing here. The other ,Moametal (Moa )is woefully underutilized as far as vocals. Her "job" is "dance and scream" . They mostly have her do chantlike vocals like in this. And there is usually extreme choreography in the shows. This is from a show last year. Moa was 23 and and Su 25 at the time. But when they first started Performing live Moa and Yui (the original 3rd member who left soon after her 18th birthday for health reasons) were 11 and Su 12. Moa and Yui were still 11 and Su had turned 13 about a month, maybe 2 before there first video ,Doki Doki morning was released. Not all shows are like this as far as production wise, but they do a lot of shows of this caliber that they film and release as concert videos. They alot of times coincide with the girls birthdays. Such as legend 1999 which was for Moa and Yui's birthdays which are about 2 weeks apart. It's called Legend 1999 because they were born in 1999. Legend 1997 later the same year was the night before Su's 16th birthday (she was born in 1997) . Legend M was for Moa's 20th birthday I believe and just this year there was a legend MM concert that was for the new member they officially added last April Momoka. Even the shows they aren't filming for videos are amazing though. Just keep in mind, they were and I believe still are the youngest group to headline the Budokon in Japan. I believe the two younger girls were 13 and Su 15 .A venue they have sold out many many times including for multiple nights in a row runs. They have also done a back to back 2 night appearance at the Tokyo dome and sold out all 55,000 seats both nights. (.Moa and Yui were 17 and Su 18) Their ages at the time just make everything even more impressive.
Yes, Su is the lead singer, with Moa and Momoko mainly doing backing vocals (as well as choreography and audience interaction). There are a few songs with them doing lead vocals as well, but Babymetal was built around Su's voice, and she is indeed a terrific singer. This particular video is actually not using the live audio though. But you can easily check out their performance of _Metal Kingdom_ at the PIA Arena last year, if you actually want to hear it live. Which you do, because it sounds even better :-) If you want to hear more from their latest album (like maybe _Monochrome)_ the live performances from the PIA Arena are great. But I would suggest maybe going back to their first few albums and checking out what you have been missing out on these last 14 years. Like the official live video of _Road of Resistance_ from the Saitama Super Arena in 2015. A power metal anthem which is sort of a tribute to DragonForce (with Herman Li and Sam Totman actually being invited to play the guitars on the studio version): th-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5qoeEVk7snXznQXA
Great reaction and welcome to Babymetal! A few tips for future reactions to Babymetal: 1). Babymetal is by design, a live performance act. So their live is always better! 2). From Babymetal’s channel: “Official” = studio audio (over live video or MV). “Official Live” = live audio. So unfortunately, the audio you heard was studio audio. 3). Here’s a link to live video AND audio of this exact performance, so you can hear the difference - spoiler alert, it’s way better 😉😆 th-cam.com/video/YM6gc9mnCtE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1yjALA2GtMNuTOSy Next suggestion: *Road of Resistance:* Epic power metal anthem. Search for _Official Live_ to see Babymetal 9 years ago, or _Pia Arena MM 2023_ for a recent version. Look forward to more Babymetal!! 🤘🦊
@HeadbangersGuild As an old metal head, I had the same problem as you, almost no new metal since 2000. I just recently discovered BabyMetal by coincidence, and I have not had this feeling of love for music since I discovered Metallica in the late 1980s. Had a look through your other videos, and from those, and what you said about your taste in music, I am hitching a ride on your journey. I have been diving down the foxhole for a while, so here is some help with Headbanger! There are several versions of this song. I suggest you start with the first two and save the rest for if you dive deeper into the foxhole. Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse (Su-Metals 16th birthday, this is the most classic version with the east Kami-band) th-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/w-d-xo.html The music video (This is important for lore) th-cam.com/video/2IzR_ClTE8Y/w-d-xo.html MoaBanger (Moa-Metal taking the mike on her 20th birthday) th-cam.com/video/MToMx6RCW-M/w-d-xo.html MomoBanger (Momo taking the mike on her birthday, this contains som fan cam) th-cam.com/video/QW6G-Wb_JV4/w-d-xo.html YuiBanger (Yui-Metal BabyMetals missing original member takes the mike on her birthday, I think this only exists in this fan cam version) th-cam.com/video/dALBl50wH1w/w-d-xo.html Be aware the Amuse (BabyMetals agents) can be strict with copyright against reactors. Finally you mentioned you like Metallica, Slipknot and Korn. In the deep of the Foxhole there are some treats for you. Interview about when they met Metallica for the first time. th-cam.com/video/bYmhKJj1rYo/w-d-xo.html They have since opened for Metallica in Korea. th-cam.com/video/8E46yjjfKrc/w-d-xo.html BabyMetal watching Slipknot from back stage. th-cam.com/video/Of_I1gxS2qc/w-d-xo.html And finally Korn joining the Kami-Band (BabyMetals backing band).

Great reaction, subscribed! I subscribed to watch you while you discover the magical lands of BABYMETAL 😄 As others pointed out already, this was studio audio dubbed over the live performance, the real live version is even better. And yes, Su-Metal sounds like what you already listened to, but with real live you´ll be blown away by her voice. You watched the "mature" BABYMETAL, with a little bit more refined production, performance, costumes, whatnot. But they were like this even in their early days. BABYMETAL live performances in Japan are always a blast 😄 There´s another performance of "Metal Kingdom", a few months later, at the PIA Arena MM in Yokohama, done by the actual, reborn trio constellation of BABYMETAL. You might have noticed that in this performance there were only two of the ladies shown "in person"... - "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" from 2015 would be a treat for you, I think! It´s "classic" BABYMETAL, btw. 😉Despite the "OFFICIAL" in its title, it´s a real live performance, including audio. They did this song at the "BABYMETAL Begins" concert, too, "Road of Resistance PIA Arena MM Clear Night 2023". Not THAT epic, but still... epic 😆 - " 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997" from 2013 would be another great performance for you to watch. You could choose to watch the more recent version of it, which was performed at Makuhari Messe in 2023, same concert as the version of "Metal Kingdom" you just reacted to. Just in case, if you like to watch an epic crowd 😉 - "BABYMETAL Death" was released as official video on the BABYMETAL channel recently, to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of the debut album "BABYMETAL". It might get blocked, tho, but worth a try. If it gets blocked too hard, try the MUCH more epic version from 2013 (11 years ago!), "BABYMETAL Death Legend 1997". It´s EPIC for real! 😉
Well, you probley got up this morning and decided to check out your channel and said WTF ! You are getting a visit from the One 😁 loads of info given and recommendations all great . I recommend like a lot of the comments Road of Resistance live in Japan from 9 years ago or Road of Resistance from PIA Arena last year, both epic or even the song that followed this one Divine Attack . BabyMetal is the best live band in the world, in my opinion. Welcome to the Foxhole 😁 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 you will see and hear foxs mentioned a lot ! just go with it for now " BabyMetal Lore " 😂
Watching Babymetal live is an experience! If you ever get a chance to catch them live, especially when they're the headliners, they are a must-see. Their music is great, but it's usually even better live. They're so good live, that I consider some of their live versions of songs to be the "definitive version" of the songs, as they're just that much better than the album versions.
Subscribed. Another person whose life is going to change for the better with complete certainty. These girls only know how to improve the lives of those who know them. They always put your heart racing and a smile on your face. Without exception. They are a gift to humanity. Babymetal Forever!! 🦊🦊🍅🦊
Great reaction, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL. What's their history? Oh boy! How much time do you have? Hehe... No, seriously, they have a really interesting and different history and you will know about it at some point. For now, you need to know that they started in 2010, being 12 and 11 years old (you will see videos where they were, sounded and looked really young). They are better live (this MV unfortunately has the studio track over the visuals from an actual concert). They are very diverse musically since they don't hesitate on mixing any music genre with metal (any subgenre) and they are highly unpredictable. So, always expect the unexpected. 😁 Enjoy your BABYMETAL journey! 🤘🦊

Welcome & Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed this very show at the venue in January last year with tears. The show included wide range of music, heavy to comical, as usual. BABYMETAL is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 68-year-long life. (Before BM, I was a stubborn jazz / funk lover) We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
I suggest new reactions with Babymetal's songs in chronological order, as they started working when they were 14 (Sue) and 12 years old (Yui and Moa). Watch the performances with the original Kamiband, led by the great guitarist Mikio (RIP). I'm sure you will love it. Oh, Babymetal has some photos with Metallica and they were influenced by the band too. 🤘🤘🤘🦊🦊🦊🔥🔥🔥
Howdy. Thanks for the shout out. I love babymetal. I picked metal kingdom cause it's kinda less in your face for newbies. Don't mistake tho they can and will tear your face off... with a smile. 🤘😎🤘
unfortunately, they have such big stages only in japan, but they are live all around the world and even in small venue they are amazing, and Su voice is unique.

Well this song is a bit special. It is heavily interconnected with the three Thrones. No, for these shows you have to visit their bigger japanese shows. Moa and Momo are according to Babymetals Roster Dance and Scream, but in fact, they can and do sing. They are in cerzain Songs Background Singers, although since rhey started to integrate Momo they now go more tp the foreground and Su harmonizes with them Su and Moa are still the Founding Parts of Babymetal from 2010 when Koba still was busy with the problem how to get 10 year olds in Heavy Metal, when they are terrified by the music. Bur as he later learned, you don't they are a force of nature, you simply use it and this was one of their first "Gimmicks", while Su, was the sensible part where the 10 year old always complained. But Well at that time 2 year differences were a hige Golf, but in this show Su is the Queen and Moa her General, and in this special Show they tried to aquire as many of the old Sakura Gakuin Girls as they could get.
Her Majesty the Queen encouraged the people of the Metal Kingdom to embark on a new journey to freedom. The concert of the new BABYMETAL started with this song. We sang loudly together, it was an amazing experience! I was so happy 😁. All stages of HELLFEST in France are now available on TH-cam! th-cam.com/users/liveiMpuhm_M01w?si=I14163l7Ec1VWbP8
I see you've summoned the faithful! 🤣 They don't call us The One for nothing. Seriously, nothing but love from this fanbase. Welcome to the foxhole! 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction. You should react to Tales Of The Destinies, Syncopation, From Dusk Till Dawn, Brand New Day, Shine (Legend M) You can find the videos in the links below For LIVE I suggest that you use the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource th-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/w-d-xo.html There's more information in the description of that video There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
Well, this isn't a live sound actually, is a live show, but that's the studio version of the song. BUT, BABYMETAL live are even better, you will find it soon!
I'd check out Pa pa Ya, Headbanger (the momobanger version), rondo of nightmare live with band intro and their collaborations with Bring me The Horizon (Kingslayer) and Electric Callboy (Ratatata)
I recommend Monochrome. Better song. This is a great great music video tho. Or Divine Attack. I feel like Divine Attack is underrated because it was the first single off this album and people got tired of it.
@@Jordan-Ramses i still enjoy it but I do get tired when a new BabyMetal song is relesed and you are trying to watch every reaction and comment. BM and EC collaboration was a nightmare so many reactions . I had to get ibrufen gel to ease the pain in my comment righting arm 🤣🤘🏼🦊
Babymetal is straight fire. Not the best introduction song but hey they are all good. Especially live. Cheers. Do all the Babymetal. They dont have bad songs. Their band is incredibly good.
Babymetal shows in Japan are next level, the effort they put in both musically and production wise are top tier, they are one the most polished acts out there today. I would suggest that you watch videos from the more recent concerts like the ones from "PIA Arena", "Budokan 2021" or "Makuhari" before watching their older shows, some people are put off by their older shows simply because of their age, don't get me wrong the earlier shows are fantastic and must be seen but many metal heads are quick to right them off watching them when they where kids calling them just a gimmick , you don't stick around for 14 plus years as just a gimmick.
They usually only do these really big themed shows in Japan, for practical reasons, I'm sure. This one was a "comeback" after a couple of years of not touring during covid. To me, they are spiritual heirs of Kiss- not musically, so much, but in putting on such a good show (which Kiss always said was their main aim).
Hey bro, first timer to your channel. Best part, when your sidekick wanted to listen, always got have any companion to thrash! Babymetal is the shit! I became a fan a year ago. Thanks for your reaction! 🤘🤟💪 BABYMETAL!🤘🤟💪
Starting BABYMETAL with METALKINGDOM wow🤘Now I’m curious how you will enjoy BABYMETAL. This show was the first we were able to sing along after the Covid pandamic in Japan. I was shouting wooo tearing with joy. It’s amazing that they are still young and encourage me to listen to other good music again🔥
Sorry for the long post ! Hope you don't mind lol. 😵💫📫 They performed MK live in Both Chiba & Yokohama last year. There are actually two different performances out now officially. This with live video feed but studio audio track. The live video/audio is a bit more dynamic in the vocal performancs & even better!! Live audio is usually reserved for the Blue-Ray DVD releases. So people are more apt to wait for the Blue-Ray releases for purchase. Which also is due to Japan's strict copyright laws. Not to mention is a common practice for live broadcasts in Japan anyways. So it limits technical issues and ensures a live performance doesn't cut into breaks & commercials. Metal Kingdom is absolutely epic live though as I can attest to. Having seen them in Yokohama & twice in Vegas. Along with their epic performances with Bring Me The Horizon in Kingslayer. Kingslayer is one of many amazing collaborations they have done over the years. _______________________________________________ Anyway, just as a contrast to Metal Kingdom here. I can recommend a couple of classic live Babymetal performances you may enjoy. One is Rondo of Nightmare Mischiefs of Metal Gods at Budokan Live. Which highlights the brillant Kami Band in their orgional glory. Su-Metal was maybe 17 at the time and already a seasoned pro at this stage. Safety concerns aside, as you will see. Su-Metal was fearless & already a force to be reconned with here in this now legendary performance. The second being Tales of Destinies. Which was a tribute to Dream Theatre"s Dance of Eternity. Which was performed at the Tokyo Dome & attended by 55,000 each night of this epic two day only event. It was actually performed in two parts, which you have to react to separately, unfortunately. ___________________________________________ The second track was called "The One". The stage set for this performance will blow your mind and had the girls flying high above the Tokyo Dome in a triangle platform. Which has me thinking these ladies were absolutely fearless at time for being maybe 14-16 at the time. The One was in English mostly as a tribute to all the fans who supported them over the years. As in more recent interviews, you will see just how good Su's English has progressed now. Babymetal has since had a Rockstar year. Having just performed a massive 96+ tour schedule which never really ended lol. Along with several live performances & collaborations. One of which was Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer as mentioned earlier. Finally, after a 3 year collaboration called Project Kingslayer. Had given us the only two live performances with Oli in Japan & Vegas. There is a Behind the Scenes making of this as well. _____________________________________________ Which highlights the project and interviews with Moa and Su-Metal. Along with BMTH Japan's Next_Fest performance, which Oli has featured on his TH-cam page. The second is with Brand New Day feat Tim Henson and Scott LePage of Polyphia. 🙀💕 This one shocked even me as it was done 5 years ago & only now finally found the time to perform it live but well worth the wait. This is a live audio feed as well btw & sounds incredible. Then there was "Leave It All Behind." Yet another interesting collaboration between thai rapper F.Hero & rock band Bodyslam. For time sake, I will have others mention it here in more detail. The last and most successful however this year. Was with Electric Callboy & Babymetal in RATATATA. Which now is Babymetal's first #1 single to top the Billboard Rock charts. Babymetal is now the only metal band from Asia. To have both a #1 Single & #1 Album to top Billboard Rock charts. Not bad for a band celebrating their 14th anniversary. Did I say I wasn't writing a book here lol. Great reaction & Welcome to the Foxhole! 🤘🦊
Did you knoe that the band name Baby Metal is a word play? The japanese languages uses three ways to write stuff, Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji. Foregin words are written in Katakana. Heavy Metal in Katakana would be like: ヘビーメタル But just some strokes more makes Baby Metal ベビーメタル
If You want to watch a real metal song live, hear Lovebites, all female metal band that write the lyrics, the music, producers of every LP or EP from 2016 and they sing in English, always. Baby Metal it's a idol invention from one Sony corporate company with the collaboration of more than 25 people and two "Kami" band, one for the Japan live and one for the Tour out the Japan! Watch the Lovebites in tour now in Europe, less special effect, small stage and money, but more music of quality: Thanks.
Excellent reaction. Loved the enthusiasm. Babymetal are legendary for their live performances. You mentioned Rammstein. Personally I feel Rammstein and Babymetal are the only two bands in the world that pay as much mind as they do to putting on a proper performance. I've just noticed you've also reacted to Headbanger. Guessing it's the one from 2014 but we'll see. Very excited to see your reaction. You've got my sub friend.
People have tried to catch BABYMETAL out by recording Su’s radio mic. That was a massive fail for them, she sounds exactly as she does over the sound system, because she’s both a great vocalist and part of a very disciplined corporate entity. Metal Kingdom is from their album “The Other One” which was their Covid effort. I think it’s probably their best album “, tbh. BABYMETAL are the idol band that broke out of the usual constraints and hit the festival circuit. They focus on absolute quality, using the best writers and musicians available with that corporate cash they had. What they have become is performance art. Their band revolves, their writers are anyone their producer resonates with, and he knows his audience. They aren’t idol, they don’t do things idol groups do, but they aren’t a band either. This isn’t a criticism, it’s perspective. I personally think if you understand what BABYMETAL are, it’s easy to love them for what they produce and the attitude they do it with.
Old School metal head gotta see Cliff Burton to give away my age. Headbanger & Road to Resistance kick some ass. They don’t disappoint live actually prefer those versions. Only way to get respected in metal
For a bit of context, this was the opening song of Babymetal's first show after a 2 year span of no shows (including a 1 year "Hiatus" where there was zero communication about the group at all). So yeah, the performance HAD to be epic!
When it comes to the sheer *power* of Su-metal's voice, this song is my go-to. Don't get me wrong, I love the early stuff, I love the later stuff, I love the collabs..I love all of it. But this? this song? her voice? chills, *every* *single* *freaking* *time*
It's the official music video. So, it's studio audio, with footage from one or more of their live shows. That being said, live *BABYMETAL* is best *BABYMETAL.* 🤘🏻😜
You can check out their blurays to see their big concerts. They also do pretty small concerts when on tour. I'm seeing them here in the US in November and I'm not expecting too much in the presentation department, especially considering the venue.
One of the few songs I didn't heart from them, because it's a relatively new one and I normally don't listen to it in a reaction for the first time (because the tiniest bits can turn me off in reactions and that messes with the experience of hearing the song for the first time) but it was a pleasure to experience it with your for the first time!
Not gonna lie I am a huge Babymetal fan and this song is one of the most boring they do. It is good as stage setting opener but is not anywhere near the top level of songs they do. For old Babymetal it is Megitsune, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger or Road of Resistance. For newer Babymetal Monochrome, Mirror Mirror, Divine Attack. This video is also not live it is studio over live video. They are better live as are most Japanese bands. The Japanese music industry compresses music in studio but when unleashed live it has a deeper and wider sound.
I love this band but this is honestly one of my least favorite of theirs. Imo check out Road of Resistance, Ijime Dame Zettai, and/or Gimme Chocolate. Live shows are best imo, I prefer recent ones like the professionally-shot videos of their 2023 Pia Arena show, readily available on youtube. Cheers!
I'm a 53 old metalhead in Tokyo and I recommend you ROAD OF RESISTANCE live in Japan, it is the song that blew my skepticism and my mind.
Oh yeah, +1000 for Road of Resistance. It still blows my mind a d gives me goodebumps even though I’ve seen it hundreds of times already lol.
ok brilliant thank you
@@Ganimal83 Just 100 times? I thought we crazy Kitsunes watched it more than a 1000 times now 🤣 Always a delight to watch, tho🙂
@@Wolfpack94487 Yeah, Babymetal never gets old!
Strong agree, as a western metal guy in my late 40s it's the one which did it for me, but SPECIFICALLY the original/official live in Japan version: th-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/w-d-xo.html . I have never seen better crowd control and engagement, by any band, ever. Bold statement I know, but I've been to a lot of concerts and Babymetal are truly impressive in that regard.*
Also Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997: th-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/w-d-xo.html
*With Japanese crowds. I've seen them live in my own country and there not quite as much, would be a cultural/fanbase thing.
There are a number of their songs - the older ones in particular - which I bounce off of (glad your first exposure wasn't Gimme Chocolate, it's worth watching a couple of times for the hell of it, but it's not on my playlist) but many are great.
Next suggestion:
- *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015), it's the most epic live version and with the best sound and technical execution by the best musicians you can find in Japan, after this mind-blowing performance you're ready for any other newer version.
🦊🤘🔥
Here's the list of live performance clips usually safe to reacts without any filters so you won't need to rely on live compilations, there might be some exceptions:

- Akatsuki, live at Budokan 2014, this is a SuMetal solo.
th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html

th-cam.com/video/BSjv9OYtWZ0/w-d-xo.html

Subscribed. I agree with a live version of Headbanger next. It's a great song, and what else could fit better on the Headbangers Guild channel
All Hail to the power and the glory of Queen Su-metal 👑🦊🤘
My coworkers look at me weird and say "Why do you call her Queen?" and it's like " Have you not seen Her throne?!!" 🤘🦊 🤘 ❤ 🍑👸🍗
@@emptymonkeyThere are none so blind as those who will not see 👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
I recommend you:
Babymetal - headbanger (live)
The song has the name like your channel 🤘
As this video illustrates, Babymetal is all about the live performance above all else. Their stadium live stage shows in Japan are all on this kind of level of spectacle. Babymetal fans often say that Babymetal is a theatrical production as much as it is a band, because their stadium live stage shows in Japan are all on this kind of level of epic production, and their use of choreography, costumes, moving stage elements and video displays take their shows beyond a simple concert. I was actually at the show where this was filmed and was even more spectacular to experience in person that it is on video. It was their first live performance after an 18 month hiatus, so the crowd was particularly hyped for it.
The interaction with the live audience is a huge part of Babymetal's performance, which is why we always recommend that reactors watch their live performances, as that is where they shine brightest.
As for what to watch next, my recommendation is "Megitsune" Live @ PIA Arena 2023 - th-cam.com/video/edbqQ-ldF_U/w-d-xo.html
Nice reaction, happy man, you've just glimpsed an unknown land in the distance. Approaches, continue your journey, this is your new home, wonders await you, you'll never go back !
Thank you, I will
Headbanger -Babymetal.( Any live performance)
Nah, the Legend 1997 is the best for showcasing their crowd work th-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/w-d-xo.html
Great first reaction, welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊This was filmed in January 2023, this was the opening number for their 'BABYMETAL Returns' concerts - their first live shows in nearly 2 years as they came back from taking a lengthy hiatus.
'Metal Kingdom' is the first track and intro on the album they released in March 2023 - so of course they used it for the epic opening number at these concerts.
They really do put on the best shows when they play the arenas in Japan (obviously they don't have the huge productions on their world tours, but they still put on the best live shows even without all the moving stages and so on). They're not just concerts they are events that you experience - and the audience is a huge part of their live shows, they make a point of involving and including everybody. Their crowd control is incredible.
Su-metal is the lead vocalist and she is amazing. The whole concept was formed and developed around her vocal talents and stage presence in 2010 ... she was only 12 years old.
BABYMETAL are a trio. The original three were Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal (Yui and Moa were 11 when they started).
Yes all 3 sing, but Yui and Moa are mainly backing vocals and harmonies. Their main function is leading the choreo (which is bespoke for each song and interpretive - quite helpful for those of us who don't speak Japanese ... although as you said, when it all sounds so good and engages you regardless of the language it doesn't matter so much) and engaging with and leading the crowd.
Yuimetal last appeared in October 2017, she missed the 2018 tour because of an ongoing health issue (nobody knows what) and in October 2018 she announced she was still not fully recovered and had decided she would leave the band to follow her own personal dreams.
Su and Moa continued as a duo for the next 4 or 5 years, supported from 2019 by three dancers (the Avengers Riho, Kano and Momoko) who would take turns dancing, but not singing, in the third spot.
At the end of the shows in January last year they teased there would be a new third member and in the next big shows ('BABYMETAL Begins') in April last year they revealed the last remaining Avenger Momoko (Riho is now a solo artist, Kano is in a JPop group) would be the new member - so she is now Momometal ... and she has her microphone to sing as well ... and it seems she is bringing something new to BABYMETAL with some metal growls.
They always had some growls and screaming in a lot of their songs, but they were on backing track with additional instruments like synth, piano, strings and so on.
They are supported in live shows by the Kami Band (2 lead guitars, bass and drums), all of them world class musicians. The Kami Band of the East (Japanese session musicians) first appeared in October 2012 and became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014.
The January 2023 concerts were the last time (to date) that they appeared. There were many Kami Band members who would swap in and out depending on their availability, but the same hard core of about 6 musicians played the majority of shows in those 9 years.
In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians Chris Kelly, CJ Masciantonio, Clint Tustin and Anthony Barone) were introduced to support BABYMETAL on their increasingly lengthy foreign tours. They have played every concert since the April 2023 shows - that was nearly 100 shows in 25 countries in 2023 and I've lost count of the concerts and festivals they have already played this year.
Clint Tustin on bass has been replaced by Ryan Neff for some shows in the US last year and most shows this year as Clint is performing with his own band.
This was the official video, so the audio was from the studio recording dubbed over the live performance video .... the DVD has the live audio and, as is always the case when you get Su-metal's live vocals and the Kami Band's live instrumentals, it is even better.
BABYMETAL are like no other band, they do things their own way (having 3 vocalists and introducing choreographed dance to metal for a start), but from their original idea of fusing metal with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics they have gone on to mix and blend so many more musical styles and genres with the metal.
They have about 70 songs now, each on different to the last. Expect the unexpected - and they will still surprise you nearly every time.
I'm sure you will get a load of great suggestions for more songs. To start you off with something completely different I will suggest a very early song live at Su-metal's 16th birthday celebration in December 2013 - 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997. You can find it posted by abr metal.
Babymetal will surprise you on every song, they change the style and nail it every time ❤️❤️
Loved catching your reaction, l&s look forward to more! You are in for years of enjoyment finding individual performances, they are always excellent, always theatrical, always put on a show, and no two songs or live versions of songs are exactly the same. The only thing you can count on is it will be fun, it will be excellent, and it will be different.
TLDR - history and why i suggest a song after this
Their first performances they were teenagers, borrowing clothes from family and friends to try to match on stage, playing strip malls or small stages mostly with people they knew attending. They had a song go viral in Japan in about 2011-2012 that led to them getting some music house gigs (think small venue of like 1k-3k) that packed and sold out, then one of those in 2013 went world-wide viral which led to them getting invited to perform a side stage at Sonisphere festival in the UK - but just before the show they got bumped to the main stage (think 50k+ UK metalheads who have almost all never heard of Babymetal). They crushed that performance, and skyrocketed from there to this day. Super talented, hard working, impressive in every single aspect of their music and shows.
All that said, I'd suggest "BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)" from their main channel, it's the final song of their set that day, and they nailed the whole performance to the point where the crows was chanting for more. Su-Metal (lead singer) waving to the crowd at the end of the song is just such pure joy as well.
Babymetal "Death" legend 97 apocalypse live video another suggestion "Rondo of nightmare" with the mischief's of metal gods intro welcome to the cult i mean the fox hole😂
Welcome to BABYMETAL🤘🦊♪
This is a studio recording audio. SU-METAL's voice in live performance has more depth.
This is the live footage taken at another show (not an official video tho) and yes, this is much better: th-cam.com/video/xtHBcL6vbVA/w-d-xo.html
To go along with some of the other suggestions, if you choose to do headbanger, should do the Legend 1997 live first. I would actually suggest to do a double reaction in one for it though. With Legend 1997 being the first version followed by the Moabanger version of it for the second. There are a couple other versions, including Momobanger, however, at the moment, the only version of Momobanger that's available is a compilation and can be quite confusing on the visual vs audio.
4:47 I thought they were going to start polishing the floo🤣
But it was a good good reaction The fox hanging out in the hole must be wagging its tail to celebrate its victory. I hope they continue to make BABYMETAL a part of the channel's history kitune UP!!🦊🤘
Welcome to the Foxhole (or BabyMetal's journey)🦊🤘🔥
Although this song was part of the 5 singles from latest album called The Other One, isn't one of the best exponents for first time watching what these girls can do on stage, regardless we love this performance and song although they didn't play it anymore.
Yesterday they already finished the Europe Tour making everyone rocking out with many more songs and hits.
Here's some brief info about them:
BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal".
They are:
*SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26.
*MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24, next week is her birthday.
-YuiMetal- scream and dance, former member since 2018.
*MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 21 and is the new official member since April 1st last year.
None of them are related.
After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said.
They got their own backing band when playing live called the Kami Band, but none of them are official members and in general they don't play studio album tracks like this one. In the full live version (with live sound) they're playing thou. More of them later.
About this song:
This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch production. Many others found Game Of Thrones resemblance on this stage setup, it just looks insane. The ten apostles are holding crossiers with "The Other One" logo which is similar to the infinite symbol "OO"♾️ and is the title of this album. The girls are carrying some kind of trident similar to the Spear Of Destiny or Lance Of Longinus from Evangelion anime series, if you know MoaMetal you know you gotta be careful with her. 🔱
Here's some official info about this song:
METAL KINGDOM (THRONE)
_"It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning."_
Ending January at Makuhari Messe, they held two big live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they met up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production.
SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. Those freaking cinematic drone shots make you feel like you're in a movie. There's also a dance choreo version performed first outside of Japan during the World Tour 2023 and some fans witnessed this even more gorgeous performance, later they did it in their own country at an exclusive show only for fans.
This is a live proshot version but with studio album sound, we already got a live sound version with the WOWOW broadcast and the released DVD/BD version of BM Begins - The Other One live at PIA Arena MM, now with the three girls together on stage.
We had so many big news and announcements back then, a new official member was announced to come next live shows in April 1st (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama, MomoMetal was the one blessed by the Fox God as a new official member. Also they performed with a new BM subunit coming from another world of this metalverse, they got new songs exclusive for them as well live shows and festivals following BM path.
I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get more proshot clips safe to react if YT allows me to do it. Meanwhile next suggestion:
- *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015).
Thanks for sharing this and see you next time.🦊🤘🔥
Welcome to the Foxhole 🤘🦊🤘
Many good suggestions already, but I want to add "Distortion" live at Download 2018 to the list.
Already subs sir.
always check for the live versions sir.
Babymetal is not a band you can judge from one song. There is so much range and variety you can't pigeonhole them.
As far as vocals , it is mostly going to be Sumetal (suzuka) the one you saw doing most of the singing here. The other ,Moametal (Moa )is woefully underutilized as far as vocals. Her "job" is "dance and scream" . They mostly have her do chantlike vocals like in this. And there is usually extreme choreography in the shows.
This is from a show last year. Moa was 23 and and Su 25 at the time. But when they first started Performing live Moa and Yui (the original 3rd member who left soon after her 18th birthday for health reasons) were 11 and Su 12. Moa and Yui were still 11 and Su had turned 13 about a month, maybe 2 before there first video ,Doki Doki morning was released.
Not all shows are like this as far as production wise, but they do a lot of shows of this caliber that they film and release as concert videos. They alot of times coincide with the girls birthdays. Such as legend 1999 which was for Moa and Yui's birthdays which are about 2 weeks apart. It's called Legend 1999 because they were born in 1999.
Legend 1997 later the same year was the night before Su's 16th birthday (she was born in 1997) . Legend M was for Moa's 20th birthday I believe and just this year there was a legend MM concert that was for the new member they officially added last April Momoka.
Even the shows they aren't filming for videos are amazing though.
Just keep in mind, they were and I believe still are the youngest group to headline the Budokon in Japan. I believe the two younger girls were 13 and Su 15 .A venue they have sold out many many times including for multiple nights in a row runs.
They have also done a back to back 2 night appearance at the Tokyo dome and sold out all 55,000 seats both nights. (.Moa and Yui were 17 and Su 18)
Their ages at the time just make everything even more impressive.
Yes, Su is the lead singer, with Moa and Momoko mainly doing backing vocals (as well as choreography and audience interaction). There are a few songs with them doing lead vocals as well, but Babymetal was built around Su's voice, and she is indeed a terrific singer. This particular video is actually not using the live audio though. But you can easily check out their performance of _Metal Kingdom_ at the PIA Arena last year, if you actually want to hear it live. Which you do, because it sounds even better :-)
If you want to hear more from their latest album (like maybe _Monochrome)_ the live performances from the PIA Arena are great. But I would suggest maybe going back to their first few albums and checking out what you have been missing out on these last 14 years. Like the official live video of _Road of Resistance_ from the Saitama Super Arena in 2015. A power metal anthem which is sort of a tribute to DragonForce (with Herman Li and Sam Totman actually being invited to play the guitars on the studio version):

Great reaction and welcome to Babymetal! A few tips for future reactions to Babymetal:
1). Babymetal is by design, a live performance act. So their live is always better!
2). From Babymetal’s channel: “Official” = studio audio (over live video or MV). “Official Live” = live audio. So unfortunately, the audio you heard was studio audio.
3). Here’s a link to live video AND audio of this exact performance, so you can hear the difference - spoiler alert, it’s way better 😉😆
th-cam.com/video/YM6gc9mnCtE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1yjALA2GtMNuTOSy
Next suggestion:
*Road of Resistance:* Epic power metal anthem. Search for _Official Live_ to see Babymetal 9 years ago, or _Pia Arena MM 2023_ for a recent version.
Look forward to more Babymetal!!
🤘🦊
The next recommendation is the BABYMETAL - Headbanger, of course ))
The name of your channel could relate ))
headbanger will be next! :)
@HeadbangersGuild As an old metal head, I had the same problem as you, almost no new metal since 2000. I just recently discovered BabyMetal by coincidence, and I have not had this feeling of love for music since I discovered Metallica in the late 1980s. Had a look through your other videos, and from those, and what you said about your taste in music, I am hitching a ride on your journey. I have been diving down the foxhole for a while, so here is some help with Headbanger!
There are several versions of this song. I suggest you start with the first two and save the rest for if you dive deeper into the foxhole.

Great reaction, subscribed! I subscribed to watch you while you discover the magical lands of BABYMETAL 😄 As others pointed out already, this was studio audio dubbed over the live performance, the real live version is even better. And yes, Su-Metal sounds like what you already listened to, but with real live you´ll be blown away by her voice.
You watched the "mature" BABYMETAL, with a little bit more refined production, performance, costumes, whatnot. But they were like this even in their early days. BABYMETAL live performances in Japan are always a blast 😄 There´s another performance of "Metal Kingdom", a few months later, at the PIA Arena MM in Yokohama, done by the actual, reborn trio constellation of BABYMETAL. You might have noticed that in this performance there were only two of the ladies shown "in person"...
- "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" from 2015 would be a treat for you, I think! It´s "classic" BABYMETAL, btw. 😉Despite the "OFFICIAL" in its title, it´s a real live performance, including audio. They did this song at the "BABYMETAL Begins" concert, too, "Road of Resistance PIA Arena MM Clear Night 2023". Not THAT epic, but still... epic 😆
- " 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997" from 2013 would be another great performance for you to watch. You could choose to watch the more recent version of it, which was performed at Makuhari Messe in 2023, same concert as the version of "Metal Kingdom" you just reacted to. Just in case, if you like to watch an epic crowd 😉
- "BABYMETAL Death" was released as official video on the BABYMETAL channel recently, to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of the debut album "BABYMETAL". It might get blocked, tho, but worth a try. If it gets blocked too hard, try the MUCH more epic version from 2013 (11 years ago!), "BABYMETAL Death Legend 1997". It´s EPIC for real! 😉
Well, you probley got up this morning and decided to check out your channel and said WTF !
You are getting a visit from the One 😁 loads of info given and recommendations all great . I recommend like a lot of the comments Road of Resistance live in Japan from 9 years ago or Road of Resistance from PIA Arena last year, both epic or even the song that followed this one Divine Attack . BabyMetal is the best live band in the world, in my opinion. Welcome to the Foxhole 😁

Watching Babymetal live is an experience! If you ever get a chance to catch them live, especially when they're the headliners, they are a must-see. Their music is great, but it's usually even better live.
They're so good live, that I consider some of their live versions of songs to be the "definitive version" of the songs, as they're just that much better than the album versions.

Great reaction, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL.
What's their history? Oh boy! How much time do you have? Hehe... No, seriously, they have a really interesting and different history and you will know about it at some point.
For now, you need to know that they started in 2010, being 12 and 11 years old (you will see videos where they were, sounded and looked really young). They are better live (this MV unfortunately has the studio track over the visuals from an actual concert). They are very diverse musically since they don't hesitate on mixing any music genre with metal (any subgenre) and they are highly unpredictable. So, always expect the unexpected. 😁
Enjoy your BABYMETAL journey!

#notacult! BABYMETAL have so many stellar live performances it's hard to go wrong, but I'm going to recommend their official MV for Karate ❤🦊🤘
Welcome & Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed this very show at the venue in January last year with tears. The show included wide range of music, heavy to comical, as usual.
BABYMETAL is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 68-year-long life. (Before BM, I was a stubborn jazz / funk lover) We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
wow what a great comment thank you so much for the information and for joining in :)
Nice of you to show us your gf... wish you would introduce her properly next time...
def check out babymetal Death
I suggest new reactions with Babymetal's songs in chronological order, as they started working when they were 14 (Sue) and 12 years old (Yui and Moa). Watch the performances with the original Kamiband, led by the great guitarist Mikio (RIP). I'm sure you will love it. Oh, Babymetal has some photos with Metallica and they were influenced by the band too. 🤘🤘🤘🦊🦊🦊🔥🔥🔥
Welcome to the Foxhole! I can already tell, you'll absolutely love this journey.
🤟🦊🤟キツネだお🤟🦊🤟
Howdy. Thanks for the shout out. I love babymetal. I picked metal kingdom cause it's kinda less in your face for newbies. Don't mistake tho they can and will tear your face off... with a smile. 🤘😎🤘
I've never seen a reactor start with Metal Kingdom, so I was skeptical but yeah, it works so well for that! Great request!
unfortunately, they have such big stages only in japan, but they are live all around the world and even in small venue they are amazing, and Su voice is unique.

Well this song is a bit special. It is heavily interconnected with the three Thrones. No, for these shows you have to visit their bigger japanese shows. Moa and Momo are according to Babymetals Roster Dance and Scream, but in fact, they can and do sing. They are in cerzain Songs Background Singers, although since rhey started to integrate Momo they now go more tp the foreground and Su harmonizes with them Su and Moa are still the Founding Parts of Babymetal from 2010 when Koba still was busy with the problem how to get 10 year olds in Heavy Metal, when they are terrified by the music. Bur as he later learned, you don't they are a force of nature, you simply use it and this was one of their first "Gimmicks", while Su, was the sensible part where the 10 year old always complained. But Well at that time 2 year differences were a hige Golf, but in this show Su is the Queen and Moa her General, and in this special Show they tried to aquire as many of the old Sakura Gakuin Girls as they could get.
Her Majesty the Queen encouraged the people of the Metal Kingdom to embark on a new journey to freedom.
The concert of the new BABYMETAL started with this song.
We sang loudly together, it was an amazing experience!

BUT, BABYMETAL live are even better, you will find it soon!
I'd check out Pa pa Ya, Headbanger (the momobanger version), rondo of nightmare live with band intro and their collaborations with Bring me The Horizon (Kingslayer) and Electric Callboy (Ratatata)
Welcome to the fox hole. 🤘🦊🤘
I recommend Monochrome. Better song. This is a great great music video tho. Or Divine Attack. I feel like Divine Attack is underrated because it was the first single off this album and people got tired of it.
Not me 😁🤘🏼🦊
@@martinmetal7481 I did. A person can get tired of any song if they hear it too much. Except Senbonzakura. The Waggaki Band has a famous cover.
@@Jordan-Ramses i still enjoy it but I do get tired when a new BabyMetal song is relesed and you are trying to watch every reaction and comment. BM and EC collaboration was a nightmare so many reactions .

Babymetal is straight fire. Not the best introduction song but hey they are all good. Especially live. Cheers.
Do all the Babymetal. They dont have bad songs. Their band is incredibly good.
Troops, assemble! Thats the image i got, when they came back with this new album, after a long break with covid and all
Epic 🤘
Babymetal shows in Japan are next level, the effort they put in both musically and production wise are top tier, they are one the most polished acts out there today. I would suggest that you watch videos from the more recent concerts like the ones from "PIA Arena", "Budokan 2021" or "Makuhari" before watching their older shows, some people are put off by their older shows simply because of their age, don't get me wrong the earlier shows are fantastic and must be seen but many metal heads are quick to right them off watching them when they where kids calling them just a gimmick , you don't stick around for 14 plus years as just a gimmick.
I'm looking forward to more Babymetal reactions from you. That's why I've subscribed to you now so I don't miss anything 😁
Awesome thank you!
They usually only do these really big themed shows in Japan, for practical reasons, I'm sure. This one was a "comeback" after a couple of years of not touring during covid. To me, they are spiritual heirs of Kiss- not musically, so much, but in putting on such a good show (which Kiss always said was their main aim).

Do Unlucky Morpheus Cadaver/Revadac with sheet music.
Might I suggest for BabyMetal you check out Headbanger live legend of 1997.
This is the most effective crowd control ever.
If you like bands like Nightwish and Epica....
Do Versailles Faith and Decision live with English Subtitles

Hey bro, first timer to your channel. Best part, when your sidekick wanted to listen, always got have any companion to thrash! Babymetal is the shit! I became a fan a year ago. Thanks for your reaction! 🤘🤟💪 BABYMETAL!🤘🤟💪
HEADBANGER of course LOL
It’s already on the channel :D
METAL KINGDOM is a great introduction to the Babies 🤘🏼🦊 great pick! I recommend “Headbangeeerrr!!!” Momo-metal version!!
Great first reaction👊🏽⚡️ Babymetal doesn’t skimp on their live performances. (Or anything). 👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
Starting BABYMETAL with METALKINGDOM wow🤘Now I’m curious how you will enjoy BABYMETAL. This show was the first we were able to sing along after the Covid pandamic in Japan. I was shouting wooo tearing with joy. It’s amazing that they are still young and encourage me to listen to other good music again🔥
Sorry for the long post ! Hope you don't mind lol. 😵💫📫
They performed MK live in Both Chiba & Yokohama last year. There are actually two different performances out now officially. This with live video feed but studio audio track. The live video/audio is a bit more dynamic in the vocal performancs & even better!!
Live audio is usually reserved for the Blue-Ray DVD releases. So people are more apt to wait for the Blue-Ray releases for purchase. Which also is due to Japan's strict copyright laws.
Not to mention is a common practice for live broadcasts in Japan anyways. So it limits technical issues and ensures a live performance doesn't cut into breaks & commercials.
Metal Kingdom is absolutely epic live though as I can attest to. Having seen them in Yokohama & twice in Vegas. Along with their epic performances with Bring Me The Horizon in Kingslayer. Kingslayer is one of many amazing collaborations they have done over the years.
_______________________________________________
Anyway, just as a contrast to Metal Kingdom here. I can recommend a couple of classic live Babymetal performances you may enjoy. One is Rondo of Nightmare Mischiefs of Metal Gods at Budokan Live.
Which highlights the brillant Kami Band in their orgional glory. Su-Metal was maybe 17 at the time and already a seasoned pro at this stage.
Safety concerns aside, as you will see. Su-Metal was fearless & already a force to be reconned with here in this now legendary performance. The second being Tales of Destinies.
Which was a tribute to Dream Theatre"s Dance of Eternity. Which was performed at the Tokyo Dome & attended by 55,000 each night of this epic two day only event. It was actually performed in two parts, which you have to react to separately, unfortunately.
___________________________________________
The second track was called "The One". The stage set for this performance will blow your mind and had the girls flying high above the Tokyo Dome in a triangle platform. Which has me thinking these ladies were absolutely fearless at time for being maybe 14-16 at the time.
The One was in English mostly as a tribute to all the fans who supported them over the years. As in more recent interviews, you will see just how good Su's English has progressed now.
Babymetal has since had a Rockstar year. Having just performed a massive 96+ tour schedule which never really ended lol. Along with several live performances & collaborations.
One of which was Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer as mentioned earlier. Finally, after a 3 year collaboration called Project Kingslayer. Had given us the only two live performances with Oli in Japan & Vegas. There is a Behind the Scenes making of this as well.
_____________________________________________
Which highlights the project and interviews with Moa and Su-Metal. Along with BMTH Japan's Next_Fest performance, which Oli has featured on his TH-cam page. The second is with Brand New Day feat Tim Henson and Scott LePage of Polyphia. 🙀💕
This one shocked even me as it was done 5 years ago & only now finally found the time to perform it live but well worth the wait. This is a live audio feed as well btw & sounds incredible.
Then there was "Leave It All Behind." Yet another interesting collaboration between thai rapper F.Hero & rock band Bodyslam. For time sake, I will have others mention it here in more detail.
The last and most successful however this year. Was with Electric Callboy & Babymetal in RATATATA. Which now is Babymetal's first #1 single to top the Billboard Rock charts.
Babymetal is now the only metal band from Asia. To have both a #1 Single & #1 Album to top Billboard Rock charts. Not bad for a band celebrating their 14th anniversary. Did I say I wasn't writing a book here lol. Great reaction & Welcome to the Foxhole! 🤘🦊
Did you knoe that the band name Baby Metal is a word play?
The japanese languages uses three ways to write stuff, Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji.
Foregin words are written in Katakana.
Heavy Metal in Katakana would be like:
ヘビーメタル
But just some strokes more makes Baby Metal
ベビーメタル
If You want to watch a real metal song live, hear Lovebites, all female metal band that write the lyrics, the music, producers of every LP or EP from 2016 and they sing in English, always. Baby Metal it's a idol invention from one Sony corporate company with the collaboration of more than 25 people and two "Kami" band, one for the Japan live and one for the Tour out the Japan! Watch the Lovebites in tour now in Europe, less special effect, small stage and money, but more music of quality: Thanks.
slighly unrelated band but if you enjoyed this you should check out the live version on Epica's Consign to oblivion, amazing symphonic metal
Excellent reaction. Loved the enthusiasm. Babymetal are legendary for their live performances. You mentioned Rammstein. Personally I feel Rammstein and Babymetal are the only two bands in the world that pay as much mind as they do to putting on a proper performance. I've just noticed you've also reacted to Headbanger. Guessing it's the one from 2014 but we'll see. Very excited to see your reaction. You've got my sub friend.
People have tried to catch BABYMETAL out by recording Su’s radio mic. That was a massive fail for them, she sounds exactly as she does over the sound system, because she’s both a great vocalist and part of a very disciplined corporate entity.
Metal Kingdom is from their album “The Other One” which was their Covid effort. I think it’s probably their best album “, tbh.
BABYMETAL are the idol band that broke out of the usual constraints and hit the festival circuit. They focus on absolute quality, using the best writers and musicians available with that corporate cash they had.
What they have become is performance art. Their band revolves, their writers are anyone their producer resonates with, and he knows his audience. They aren’t idol, they don’t do things idol groups do, but they aren’t a band either. This isn’t a criticism, it’s perspective. I personally think if you understand what BABYMETAL are, it’s easy to love them for what they produce and the attitude they do it with.
Old School metal head gotta see Cliff Burton to give away my age.
Headbanger & Road to Resistance kick some ass. They don’t disappoint live actually prefer those versions. Only way to get respected in metal
For a bit of context, this was the opening song of Babymetal's first show after a 2 year span of no shows (including a 1 year "Hiatus" where there was zero communication about the group at all).
So yeah, the performance HAD to be epic!
Road of resistance live. Might be the Best live performance not by Babymetal but possibly ever.
When it comes to the sheer *power* of Su-metal's voice, this song is my go-to. Don't get me wrong, I love the early stuff, I love the later stuff, I love the collabs..I love all of it. But this? this song? her voice? chills, *every* *single* *freaking* *time*
It's the official music video. So, it's studio audio, with footage from one or more of their live shows. That being said, live *BABYMETAL* is best *BABYMETAL.* 🤘🏻😜
This is not live, live is even better 😅😅
You can check out their blurays to see their big concerts. They also do pretty small concerts when on tour. I'm seeing them here in the US in November and I'm not expecting too much in the presentation department, especially considering the venue.
This music video is studio recording over live format
One of the few songs I didn't heart from them, because it's a relatively new one and I normally don't listen to it in a reaction for the first time (because the tiniest bits can turn me off in reactions and that messes with the experience of hearing the song for the first time) but it was a pleasure to experience it with your for the first time!
🤘🦊🤘
listen maximun the hormone, the best grup metal the japan
This was was not live audio in that case but it is not worse but different then the live audio
Not gonna lie I am a huge Babymetal fan and this song is one of the most boring they do. It is good as stage setting opener but is not anywhere near the top level of songs they do. For old Babymetal it is Megitsune, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger or Road of Resistance. For newer Babymetal Monochrome, Mirror Mirror, Divine Attack. This video is also not live it is studio over live video. They are better live as are most Japanese bands. The Japanese music industry compresses music in studio but when unleashed live it has a deeper and wider sound.
blimey ok I have a huge metal foxhole to get lost in it seems!
My favourite newer Babymetal song is Metalizm, and Mirror Mirror is great too.
Obvs RATATATA but he already reacted to that madness 😂
Baby Metal is there with Lizzy Hail as top female metal for me.

I would suggest BABYMETAL's Road of Resistance, Live at PIA Arena 2023.
Road of Resistance: th-cam.com/video/4XYMvGJy1JI/w-d-xo.html
Playlist of recent performances: th-cam.com/play/PL7Y918oJxXaYGAlhN3DLd5AAoye11F3o4.html
Those are the world's biggest shrimp forks; those girls are hungry after a show.
I love this band but this is honestly one of my least favorite of theirs. Imo check out Road of Resistance, Ijime Dame Zettai, and/or Gimme Chocolate. Live shows are best imo, I prefer recent ones like the professionally-shot videos of their 2023 Pia Arena show, readily available on youtube. Cheers!
