Thanks!
If you look at the Beatles run of albums, you never knew what they would be, each one is it's own unique thing! I feel Band-Maid is like this too, always good, but never predictable. Band-Maid never does a song as filler, but puts as much work in as necessary from each band member on every song, as if that song is going to be the only song they will do. Kanami is a perfectionist, as Japanese culture is known for, but she is also an inspiration, coach, mentor and genius song writer and composer, as well as a great friend to her band mates. I've heard many say Band-Maid is a miracle band, the fates coming together at just the right moment to give us their magical music, and in that way I feel the Beatles are very much the same. Just a thought.
And a very good one. Thank you!
I completely agree and have always looked at their musical arch as being similar to the Beatles. Not in their sound but in their trajectory. Whereas the Beatles started off with Hold Your Hand & Ticket to Ride and evolved to Rocky Raccoon &:Helter Skelter. The Maid's have Be OK & Big Dad to Corralium & No God. And through it all owning the sound at each stage of their evolution, never just putting out filler just for the sake of sound.
@@Studio-Coast_Kid Great comparison!
Bravo on the intro! Gary would be proud!
The Beatles could play any style of music and turn it into a great song and BAND-MAID can also easily play and arrange their songs in any style of music and make it an absolute pleasure to listen to over and over again just like any Beatles song did for me. Beatles are my favorite band and the Maids are easily next. I grew up with the Beatles as a kid and now I'm growing older with BAND-MAID. Life does not get any better than that 🎸🎸🎸🥁🎤🙂☮️🇨🇦
I agree and well said!
That was very well written introduction 😂
Keep up the great work 😊
Thank you.
If you get on Band-Maid Prime, you can see a lot of individual self covers and are awesome! Kanami is a masterful composer!
Also many overhead shots of Akane!!!!!🦍🍌🥁
Band-Maid Prime???
@@RockCandy-ix3nna subscription service by the band. Lots of behind the scenes videos, individual videos of them playing their songs, and some rare live footage.
Always new stuff being added..... and worth every penny.
@@RockCandy-ix3nn Also full concerts that are no longer available on DVD reside on Prime, including the the 2021 acoustic Christmas performance. Highly recommended. I agree with the Beatle comparison too!
@@RockCandy-ix3nnBand-Maid Prime is part of their official page, but it is behind a pay wall and you have to be a member, but it's very reasonable, $9.00 a month if memory serves, and the content is not downloadable, but is there forever. Well worth it, to me!
Brilliant opening! Did Gary write that for you? Ha ha!
Seriously, thanks for you comments on comparisons. Mozart gets compared to Bach, but they wrote at different times and in different styles (at the time W.A. would have thought you were referring to C.P.E. and not J.S.) but they were both creative and innovative. I think current generations don't appreciate the context of The Beatles and why they were such a phenomenon at the time. Ironically, music has narrowed in recent years!
Got a good laugh from your intro, well done! Shambles is one of my favorites from the Maids....bass and drums are always standouts to me, and I love Miku's long, held out notes! Enjoy your break!!
Rock on! The bass was so prominent wasn't it? I loved it! Thanks.
Don't you tell me Big Dad that the Moratorium will make you Shake That in the Freezer so Don't Be Long to Take me Higher and Turn Me On with just a turn of the Page so just Shake That and all will leave you with a SMILE.🤔😁😁
Band-Maid stimulates the brain. Well done matey.
😂
We're havin' too much fun here!
Very, very clever intro- Love it. Band-Maid always bring out the best in people.
Thanks. Justa little fun. Thank you for your visit!
I've thought for a long time that Band-Maid are one of the most important bands to come along since the Beatles.
This was commissioned for the season two closing theme for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura. But did you hear the hard panning on the backups? Very much like when The Beatles sent their Masters from EMI to Capitol without instructions and the 4 Tracks got turned into a Stereo Mix with two of the channels hard panned! I'd sure like to find some of that old vinyl. I was a fool to ever let those go! If you haven't seen them yet, Orenji has documentaries on each of the girls backstories. Even if you don't react to them, you should check them out. And don't neglect their April Fool's Day persona BAND-MAIKO's videos. But you're right. Miku's guitar playing, Akane's Double Pedals and MISA's 5-String, that was all learned on the fly after the band had formed.
Thanks for the info! I let a few of those historic discs get away myself. I feel your pain.
What can I say? -- best opening to a reaction ever! Also, really enjoyed your elaboration on the Beatles comparison, i.e. not that the two bands are the "same" in terms of sound or songwriting, but rather that they both share a compositional blend of influences that are persistently catchy, constantly engaging, and always evolving. I think that's it. Band-Maid will tinker and experiment, but the result will always be great or at least memorable.
Thanks! 😃
Yes, Shambles is the Akane show with special guest stars Kanami, MISA, Saiki and Miku. But wait! Was it really the Kanami show, because she wrote the song and played it with such forcefulness and exquisite abandon. Or was it the MISA show because without MISA, the rapturous drive of the song would be a ride on four flat tires. Or was it the Saiki show because she focused the sonic chaos into a song with melodies that could express Miku's lyrics like no other singer could. Without Saiki, Shambles might sound like a familiar instrumental. Or was it the Miku show because, damn, she wrote the lyrics, played the important rhythm parts, and added her unique brand of backup vocals that have become a defining "sixth instrument" of Band-Maid. So exactly whose show was it?
It was the Maid's show, as usual! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, Rock!
Your intro was perfect I was on the floor laughing at how you were able to mesh all those song titles
Want to see Akane drum with overhead camera? Check out Band-Maid Prime subscription service. Hundreds of video's by the ladies, from full concerts (including the Xmas acoustic) to crazy skits, interviews/band chats, behind the scenes of MV's, and dozens of one member doing self covers in close up. Lots of close up work with Akane wearing a head cam on there! Just today Band-Maid Prime released a new video of Kanami playing "Screaming" with a head cam!
Loved the intro too! Nice one!
I will do it!
I respect your thoughts and I see a number of parallels between "the fab four" and our recent "fab five."
Great reaction again!!!!! You have my sub. and support !!!!!🕊🍌🍻☕🚂
I am honored. Thank you!
👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! 🖖❤
It is not hard to draw parallels between the two bands. My main metric is how many songs they have that keep me engrossed. Band Maid by far has more songs that I listen to over and over. The next artist with many songs is Linda Ronstadt! Then , maybe Elton John. But most of the groups I like have 3/5/10 I can do repeat listens to.
Linda Ronstadt gives me goose bumps every time I hear her sing.
@@RockCandy-ix3nnIt took some ageing and experience to appreciate just how good a singer she is. When I was young, she was just one of many other, I thought, equally fine performers. Now, I feel she is at least, first among equals. Her last album, Adieu False Heart, highlights that. Linda claimed to be at 30% normal, due to her illness. Could have fooled me! Sounded as good as ever.
The pigeons like the intro po. Sugoi po!
Great discussion and commentary. It seems both the Beatles and Band-Maid have their own particular sound where a song of theirs heard blind for the first time is recognizable as belonging to that particular band. It's not that the song is a cookie-cutter product of a similar previous song, but rather the spirit and essence of the band is infused into the song itself which makes it recognizable to the listener that that song is from that one certain band. Very few bands can do that consistently, but both the Beatles and Band-Maid have that ability to produce a signature sound that identifies their music as their very own and no one else's.
Well said!
Excellent play on Band-Maid titles, Rock. Here's one I did a few years ago:
I knew You would Play an Unfair Game. So, What now? Don't You Tell Me to get all Yuragu and Shake That Thrill before we have some kind of Order. I guess you're the One And Only who can Look At Me and say, let's put a Freezer on this Puzzle and go fly to Gion-Cho for a Summer Drive. Don't Let Me Down now and go Hide-and-Seek. You know that The Real Existence is to move Forward, Screaming Freedom with a Smile, all the way to Glory! I mean, YOLO, man! But, wait! If we Don't Apply The Brake now... OMG, I can't stop... I was okay Before Yesterday... Honey? Where's my shrink's phone number...? Where you going? Don't leave me Alone! Honey? HONEY! Damn You Band-Maid!
LOL! Well done. Guess I'm not the only one that likes to play wordsmith around here.
@@RockCandy-ix3nn I like your depth of comments, Rock. Keep it going with Band-Maid, The Warning, Jinjer and Lovebites!
Nicely done maidiac
You honor me with the title.
👍👍👍👍👍
👏👌😊👍👍👍
997 lets see over 1000 by end of day woo hoo ;)
We made it! Thank you!!!!
Clever poem Po
Genius intro, keep it going!
Thanks! Glad to have you here!
funny intro - how many BM tunes did you work into that one ? i think i counted 20 ! amazing how the ladies in japan have been putting other rock and metal bands to shame for quite a while now. whoda thunk it ? i introduced a former band mate of mine to LOVEBITES last month and he had never heard of j-rock or j-metal. i bought him the 'clockwork immortality ' as an early xmas present. needless to say his jaw dropped. we had a jr. high rock band in the 60's and he just moved back to the area after 40 years in california. good time to exit that dumpster fire
Well said! Too bad - I loved that state in the 70's. I think that album is a BEAST! Love your comments. Thanks!
I was Daydreaming of a Black Hole that was quite Memorable. However, I will Secret My Lips on my belief that there is No God!😂
Great intro !!!!
Thanks!! Just glad you're here!
you know the old joke "what do you do when your tone deaf friend wants to join the band?...........give him some sticks and send him to the back to hit things" doesn't apply to Japanese drummers lol
LOL!
R u gonna unlesh the minchu?
Would you like that in highlights or a particular song?
