I really respect DragonForce for the way they support BABYMETAL. DragonForce snuck BABYMETAL into their DOWNLOAD festival 2015 set, even though the guy/people behind DOWNLOAD said BABYMETAL would not be allowed to play there ever. Well, after word got out that DragonForce and BABYMETAL were going to perform a song (Gimme Chocolate) together on stage, a ton of people showed up to the DragonForce set and the crowd went beyond the performance tent. Well, the next year, 2016, BABYMETAL performed on the DOWNLOAD main stage in front of like 25-50,000 people, and killed it! Thank you Herman, Sam, and the rest of the DragonForce guys! 🦊🤘
That's so cool to think that DragonForce shoved it up the organizers ass just to give BabyMetal some more exposer. So cool to put that link into the untold history of BabyMetal.
Agree, the DragonForce team has been super supportive.
Per from Sabaton did the same favor for BABYMETAL. he convinced Joakim it was a good idea to bring them to Sweden to their music festival in Falun.
I love when good people support other good people and good music.
Dragonforce are another fave group of mine. Through The Fire and Flames say it all.
When Hertman Li says that guitarist really shreds the guy must be fast.
And one of the lead guitarists for Babymetal, Takayoshi Ohmura, also played lead in Marty Freedmans touring band..so, yeah, Babymetal has some insane players in the Kami Band (their backing band).
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
It's like hearing "your keys are good" from Beethoven, lol.
@@watcher2554 Takayoshi Ohmura
@@aegonthedragon6341 damn auto correct!! LoL!
Fixed.
Literally just found out about them earlier today and then this video pops up
Herman is right. Babymetal 'has to be seen' especially live. Their live shows is freakin awesome and Herman witnessed it himself at their Wembley Arena 2016 world tours.
I saw them live in Nashville back in 2018. Can confirm, it was fucking dope. Never thought I'd see a mosh pit accompanied by Japanese girls singing but yeah.
Babymetal is definitely in my top three for best live performances that I've ever experienced. The way they get the audience engaged is magical.
DragonForce will always hold a place of honor among Babymetal fans for the support you gave during their early years!!
Thank you Mr. Li!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Exactly that
@@JoyMadrugada what happen if babymetal meet mick gordon
Damn, Herman be here looking like a proud uncle watching his nieces dominate the metal industry with a video gamey metal song.
I wish I didn’t read this comment before watching the video, now I can’t get the “proud uncle herman” while watching.
Agreed
only the music video is video gamey. 'up down left right BBAB' is a video game song. that was the other limited release on the new album
Must be a ceiling fan
@sole survivor err it's not that. It's because he has collaborated with them and hence the moniker 'uncle.'
For anyone wondering about the excessive vocal effects, it's got nothing to do with the singer's ability. They did it cause it fits well with the very techno sound of the song. Look up a live version, preferrably a fan cam, so you can see how well they perform this live.
Also, thank you Herman!
@@snatcher81 okay if you think so. My comment was just so first time listeners don't think the vocalist *needs* the auto-tune.
True, But after seeing that awfull painkiller cover with Rob Halford live people may think this :)
Agree, this actually sounds better live, Su is insane :D
@@galaxykidM5 it wasnt the english, something was kinda off.
Might have been the sound of her voice
@@neonistje007 you don't know anything about Babymetal.
Omg! I'm criying because he remember Mikio Fujioka úwù
They told Su to rap these lyrics, so she did. Then Moa and Su create the primary dance steps, followed by final choreography with Mikikometal.
They have been performing on stage since they were 6 yo. Extraordinarily talented, professional with a charisma that evens comes though on a video.
There is no one like them, their genre is Babymetal.
One last thing, recently Kobametal (creator, producer) when asked about Su and Moa he said "They're grownups, they do what they want."
I mean yea they're both over 21y/o now lmao
@@australianwi-fi Su is 21 and Moa is 20, but what is fascinating is that they have been Su-Metal and Moametal for half of their lives!!
@@outwest1014 isn't Su 23?
@@stanloona4899 Yes she is and Moa is 21, I think I was using their ages at the time Kobametal's quote.
elaborate on that last part, seems like something that only dedicated fans understand.
Herman is right. Everyone involved in Babymetal are amazing at what they do. The songs are written really well, the girls perform them flawlessly, their stage production is sick and the Kami band are amazing. Herman mentioned Mikio, Takayoshi and BOH, but Hideki Aoyama needs to be mentioned as a phenomenal drummer too. If you want to see how good the Kami band are, check out Mischief of Metal Gods from the Budokan shows in 2014.
Hideki is a drumming god!
Hideki is a monster on the double bass drum.. He's very consistent with his timing on the kit, you can almost tell he's the one playing even without looking..
@@MyKingJesus1 agreed. I really like his double kick drumming, it’s very clean and very consistent. His drumming on IDZ at Sonisphere is what keeps bringing me back to that video.
It's good to see how Herman respects Babymetal so much.
They are his nieces, so he's a good uncle.....uncle herman
I’ve never really got into BABYMETAL but they have never apologized or strayed from their music. That in itself is true metal, and I respect them as a metal fan of over 30 years. Keep kicking ass girls.
Never apologized, and one of their songs “Awadama Fever” is about a piece of time traveling mint-flavored bubblegum, as a giant middle finger to all the haters and gatekeepers who kept calling them “bubblegum” music.
what’s cool about this song is when performing live, Su-metal does the upward inflection at the end of each line without the autotune that features in the music video. She’s an unreal vocalist
I love Babymetal and their music with an absolute passion. The fact they are still pretty young and have as much talent, drive and ambition as they do is one of the things i love. I've always loved and respected dragonforce and Herman Li. I love that Herman and dragonforce support Babymetal in their music and future. I hope the world goes back to normal soon so they can do shows either together or separately that I'll have the opportunity to see.
I think I broke my mouse clicking on this so fast!
😆😂
I never expected to see dragon force in the babymetal reaction. OMG
If it is still on TH-cam, you can see a fan cam of BabyMetal and DragonForce performing together. Two songs, Gimmie Chocolate and Road Of Resistance.
Herman li wrote them road of resistance
Bring Me the Horizon is bringing out a collaboration with BabyMetal at the end of the month (also meant to be with other well known artists on other tracks) RIP Mikio aka GoKami
It's a great song! Their styles mixed perfectly together
Sick song.
thank you and much much respect for helping Babymetal.
Herman Li, Matt Heafy, Scott LePage, every guitar player that I watch on Twitch loves Babymetal and I love it
Hello
Saw Dragonforce and BABYMETAL in San Francisco last month .
Highlight of my life.
Thank You 🦊
Thank You 🦊
Thank You 🦊
Babymetal is great. I am impressed on how they are able to fuse electronic music with metal live like it is nothing. On top of that, the drums, the guitars and base are flawless. Su sings perfectly live. It is next level. And they keep getting better and better unlike many bands that lose steam over time.
I'm amazed they keep coming up with new fusions of music/metal genres.
Let’s be honest, they mix ANYTHING with metal like it’s nothing!
Road of Resistance is a straight up masterpiece. Thanks for your work creating it with Babymetal.
Thank you Herman. Thank you Dragon Force. BABYMETAL Ambassador.🤣🤣🤣
Looking forward to further collaboration w/ BABYMETAL in the future.
No Rain No Rainbow is one of my favorite too, amazing ballad 🤘🦊⚡
I've only seen Babymetal live at House of Blues Chicago, so I haven't seen the full stage show in person, but even that is a ridiculously fun time. Su also looked me directly in the eyes once.
"Su also looked me directly in the eyes once." And you are still alive to tell us 😱
When the video starts playing and you start smiling.. that is just completely genuine. And such a natural reaction to Babymetal music.
I don't know what could be higher praise.
A week after realesed i found maybe a hundred reactions to BxMxC but im not expect this one. Wow 🤘🦊🤘Dragonforce like a father for BABYMETAL
That was an epic surprise, love u're appreciation for them and the kami band :-) thank u Herman!
One dude in the chat is like "What is gonna be their name when they turn 18?"....My dude, Moa is 21 now and Suzuka turns 23 in December....
Why in tge world would a band change its name on account of members getting older. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.i hope someone explained to that commenter why they are named BabyMetal.
Herman also brought Lovebites over to the UK in 2019 for a series of gigs. I went to 3 of the shows and he was always there stage-side watching the ladies. He's a good man 🤘
Love Babymetal n loved your work on Road of Resistance!
Please!!! we want a new collaboration between DRAGONFORCE and BABYMETAL for Arkadia theme :)
Thank you guys for bringing this band to light. I love them
They celebrated their 10the anniversary as a band in 2020. They were 13 and 11 years old when they started out. Also in 2020 BabyMetal was named the 10th greatest METAL band in history. They've toured with many of the biggest names in music. Besides headlining their own shows throughout the world, they've opened for Metallic, Kiss, Red Hot Chili Peppers to name a few and have appeared at METAL festivals over those 10 years.
Herman Li is like a walking Babymetal advertisement in this video. :-)
As a fan of both I really appreciate him doing it.
The bassist name is: BOH
6 years ago I was at the show where BABYMETAL premiered RoR in London. Good song. Thank you! :)
This song dude.... Makes me feel things... DAMN
in my top 5 favorite songs from them
I love the fact that the chat is saying their favorite songs of BABYMETAL but lol every BABYMETAL song is a legend.
Babymetal has very rapidly made it to the top of my favorite bands of late. They are very Japanese (I know, duh..) in the sense that they are happy to mix things and try things out that others wouldn't. Lovely to see the support too - yet another reason why DragonForce is up there as well.
I love Dragonforce and Herman Li's support of Babymetal, not to mention the excellent Road of Resistance track - it is truly groundbreaking work that will hold up for years and years to come unlike so much other modern disposable music that goes in one ear and out the other and is forgotten in weeks, or days. DragonForce along with Babymetal's music will hold up to the test of time - mark my words - even years and decades from now we will still be appreciating and analyzing and listening to these incredibly original tracks, that are literally ahead of their time.
For me Babymetal just plain and simple is fun. I like the mashups of genres. They just do things in fresh and/or weird ways. I must say seeing them live in NYC was a ton of fun. I know many metal fuds kinda write them off as "not real metal" but imo who cares if they are/aren't. They make fun music.
I love how purists try to deny that girls are metal, while a lot of metal legends like Herman or Friedman speak positively about their music.
they aren't metal, they add the pop fusion. the kami band is the metal. it's like arguing whether a centaur is a horse. a lot of it is a horse
Scott, it’s a subgenre of metal, don’t make it more complicated
@@Jordan-Ramses how could said babymetal it isn’t metal? When he said the girls it meant Babymetal. And babymetal is 3 girls not kami band. And what’s wrong they mix pop and metal? Whats wrong with y’all metal elitist? Bordering art, such an idiot people.
@@Jordan-Ramses ir actually makes sense, in the blend of genres, the JPop ingredient is definitely provided by the girls, still also the metal part is in part on their shoulders, I mean songs like Sis Anger, Rondo of Nightmare, Distortion, they really have no JPop elements, so...
@@fakeplastictrees6672 - i never said anything was wrong with it, i love Babymetal but they're very different than everybody else. that is what i like about them, but if people don't that's fine too
Herman was correct before someone corrected him RoR was on the 1st album, the re-released version, but not on the Japanese version original.
DRAGONFORCE writes a BABYMETAL song in 5 minutes. GO!
I second the motion.
@@orlandopockets6372 ~
Oh, that's right.. What a *Silly Goose* thing for me to do.. Well.. I guess there's nothing left but for me to perform *Seppuku* ~
I mean they already have
Didn't expect DragonForce to upload at 7 AM in my place. Usually they uploaded at 3 AM.
This was nice to see i listen both dragon force and baby metal
This video reaction is LEGENDARY
been a huge fan for a long time since the first guitar hero game game out, and have seen you live a couple times, you threw a pic right to me up front, best day ever, your blew my mind man, and im all for babymetal they are super original like a k-pop metal and trap mix so crazy i could rave to this all night
Yo got chills when I heard him play the into rift just then... Now I love BabyMetal even more!
sick video man, wholesome vibes! Had no idea about this but so sick!
BABYMETAL are the reason I have started to listen to DragonForce :)
Same here :)
Same.
Same here 😍
I love starlight by this band. Heavyyy guitars and catchy cleans and definitely has the crossover aspect.
Starlight is super underrated.
The trilogy of light is amazing in general 😊 I can't choose one over the other
Starlight is actually a song to honor their guitarist Herman mentioned, Mikio Fujioka, who died from injuries suffered after he fell from an observation platform while stargazing back in late-December 2017.
@@charlesedwards2856 I am aware. Another reason I love it
@@dinokitty4197 just checking. You never know who knows and who doesn’t, so I try to pass along any helpful information I can! 😁
Saw this reaction on Dragonforce channel. Went on itunes and bought the song... BxMxC. Awesome song. Ma favorite Babymetal song for sure. Then... bought ALL the albums of Babymetal. They owe you one Dragonforce because i bought everything because of this reaction of Herman Li. Always a pleasure to listen to him reacting . Salutations from Montreal.
Thank You Herman for mentioning the Musicians !!!
Uncle Herman support Babymetal
Imma say this for the people who don't know about the song. They over used auto-tune on purpose. And it's about how other artist over use it. Just look up the lyrics.
Thank you for that!
If I only understood japanese llol
thanks i didnt know that
BMC is something with no flavor. "That's a metal cypher's enemy The style disappointment pretentious pride witnessing"
It's like a diss track so-to-speak.
I knew I recognized your guys music !
I got to see them a few years ago when they did their first show in LA and yeah the band shreds, they are so good live too
Moa metal is a cutie
Oh yes, she is!
She's a young Japanese woman, it's the default state for them
Thank you for your early collaboration and work with BabyMetal. Good to see you are still promoting them. This is the first music video to feature Moa and Su, since Karate. I know there have been videos made using live clips featuring Moa and Su, but I mean as a video without including live clips.
I hope you will continue to promote Lovebites? Thank you for letting them be part of your UK tour. If they get half the success BabyMetal have achieved, it will be a wonderful thing.
I really like this new song. Nice sound, cool rap great rythm and how she gets like super high in her voice at the end of every verse is cool as well.
Now you have to watch The Warning!!!
Start with Dust to Dust (live at Lunario).
The new generation of hard rock!
DragonForce x BABYMETAL 🔥
Whaaaaa!? This song is a BANGER!!!!!! WOW!!!
Amazing live
Does Herman have a ghost in his place? That picture on the wall is swinging constantly
What a coincidence that the picture it chose to swing was the "Inhuman Rampage" one xD
I think it’s just hung up and not attached to the wall
@@DC-ru5xz Yeah, that might be the case.
If I remember correctly, Herman has a big fan blowing air at him, so I assume it's making the picture swing a bit.
that’s called hangin’ there
We need to get StevieT to react to baby metal. That would be the funniest thing ever.
Yes! That would be epic!
Looking forward to tomorrows 8 string arriving!
And and then can't beleive the new PRS is 2 months away. But at least it occured to you guys to put dragon inlay on there. I was like "Oh PRS put used to put dragon inlay on their REALLY nice guitars, surely they will give that to Herman when they make him another custom"
Maybe get them to throw Sam a bone, get him a nice little PRS single cut custom or something. Something different. But needs a dragon! Dueling Dragons!
I come here more fast than Through the fire and flames hehe
Thanks for uploading it immediately Herman :)
Watch it live too.
Their live performance of this song is SO much better! It sounds ok listening to their studio version, but when they do it live it's fucking insane
he just looked so proud
Su's got some killer rap flow!
Proud uncle right there.
The MV BxMxC Babymetal seems to be inspired by DragonForce's latest album, both of them have the theme of playing games
It's actually linked to their 10 best songs "tournament" album, they put their songs one against each other and the fans choose the winners, which will end being the final tracklist.
They choose the Mortal Kombat scenario because... it's cool 😅?
🤘🦊⚡
@@DeePal072 That won't be for the final tracklist I'm afraid. It's only for the 10 compilation videos.
Yes to both of the questions.
Thank you very much for Road of Resistance! That was the song that lured me into the foxhole.
Awesome. Su can do virtually anything with her voice.
"I'd be nervous to meet babymetal in case I got accidental bones which would be embarassing" -@ 5:43
lol
My favourite part of this, aside from the actual babymetal stuff, is Herman's accent. Occasionally he sounds brummie. Also he sounds like a genuinely lovely guy 😊
You're 100% correct. I thought I knew how they'd sound Live since they have Live albums & I've seen performances on TH-cam. But they truly need to be seen. They're way better Live. Leagues better.
You guys were in France at the same time. That was one of the hardest decisions I had to make as a DragonForce and BABYMETAL fan. My wife and I saw BABYMETAL for the first time that weekend. It was also the last concert I went to because of Covid..
Ive always liked Dragonforce and Ive been a babymetal fan for a long time too, so cool that both bands like eachother
Herman, give in and get that 9 string. It's been a tough year you should treat yourself!
That was awesome! Thank you so much for this Herman! 💚
I love both Babymetal and DragonForce and your guys collaboration was the best in my opinion~ But seeing you keeping the love really warms my heart. I would love another collaboration between you two. The last Babymetal album had such a different sound. The girls just aren't teens anymore and by trying to make it sound more mature it kind of looses some of its appeal but when I look at the songs seperately and out of the Babymetal context they are not bad at all.
BxMxC actually is my favorite song from the new album because it mixes a style of music I usually don't like with metal and makes it sound awesome which I appreciate very much :)
However, from the studio version you don't really get how HEAVY this song is live.
I hope they keep evolving and finding their own, mature style and keep that kami band busy because they are way too good not to be heard!
THANK YOU SIR~!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU
Much respect Herman Li!thank you!
OMG!!! Babymetal is special japan i love :3 you are special
Dude this is epic as hell
awesome!
Very different.
Su-metal has the best death stare in all of metal.
Boh is one of the best bass players I have seen.
Nice to see you are a fanboy of Babymetal just like we are. That's cool.
Japan has some awesome musicians and bands and many are all female rocking our socks off and melting our faces.
5:48 "What is going to be their name when they turn 18?"
They are in their 20s now, bro. I mean Moa is 21 and Su is about to turn 23.
BMC sounds like DMC (Detroit Metal City - an anime that's parodying / satirizing metal)
That was quick!
Baby Metal are epic, Love there music
I can't stop watching the Inhuman Rampage Vinyl record and keep wondering when is it gonna fall of the wall!
BMC has very quickly became my favourite BabyMetal song
Thanksfully i was able to see them live in early 2020 in europe. Its totally different between live and CD, its even better ! And i was in fact fan of dragonforce before knowing babymetal. When i ear ROR for the first time, i was like, Jésus it really sound like dragonforce ( because on fact it was haha ). And when i discovered everything u did to make them grow, in front of all the haters. Well done dragonforce for that 👏👏
so glad he remembers Mikio!
Love that B.M.C. cos it reminds me of BFG Division by Mick Gordon, from off of Doom 2016.
Not really a fan of the studio version but live???? HOLY CRAP! It may be one of their best.
