    Now, this is great BabyMetal content. From the perspective of people who actually in the Metal industry. Music should bring people together. Gatekeeping should never be an excuse to hate.

    BABYMETAL performed with Rob Halford on a couple Judas Priest songs. And there is a great video of Su-metal jumping around on stage with Flea while Moa and Yui are on the side stages dancing during one song at a Red Hot Chili Pepper's concert. Then there is the famous video of Chad Smith drumming for a BABYMETAL song with a surprise ending.

    You talk about their stage craft. You should check out a few songs from some of their iconic shows. Live @ Tokyo Dome, Legend S are the two that blow most minds. An easy way to find vids for those shows would be to go to " Babymetal Reactors Resource" channel. And under the vid titled " Future Plans" he has a spreadsheet with links to all sorts of vids. Some fan faves would be " In The Name of" (Legend S), " Catch Me if You Can" (Tokyo Dome), For ultimate crowd control "Headbanger" (Legend Metal Galaxy 2020). Just to name a few.

    A big thanks to Froggy for sharing those stories, and to you for bringing him in.
    I was happy just to see you sincerely appreciate BABYMETAL, but you really brought it up a level.
    I caught the Chula Vista, CA show on that 2017 tour. That was on Yui's 18th birthday.
    A bunch of folks in the front pit area surprised her by putting on party hats.
    Su let everyone in the crowd know why it was "a very special day" during the 'Karate' interlude, and Yui was adorably embarrassed to be the main focus of attention.

    • @martinmetal7481
      @martinmetal7481 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is great content. Babymetal just seem like the nicest folk on the planet, good to hear that is the case. I saw Babymetal with Korn and Stone Sour on this two, at the Pain in the Grass festival and the final stop in Idaho. Great times. Both shows, I wore a Babymetal shirt and was pretty much ignored, after the set people were coming up and asking questions, they never stopped.
    It was interesting, you see other bands open up before, and then when Babymetal hit the stage, the stage presence and energy went up a couple notches, and of course maintained with Stone Sour and Korn. It was palpable, you could feel them on stage. How do three such young and inexperienced performers learn such stage presence? You can thank Froggy for me for the wonderful shows I saw.
    And sadly, I feel honored to see the last performances by Mikio and Yui in North America.

    This is awesome.... I think you are the first to bring a behind the stage experience of Babymetal to a reaction vid. Bravo!!!! I get what he says about music bringing people together. When I watch the Forum concert video (cost me a pretty penny), and you look at the crowd.... It is so diverse... You have grey bearded metal heads, spikey haired punk kids, you've got someone's kid sister who was probably just singing Baby Shark... Everyone is at the Babymetal concert, smiling and having fun. In a series of vids called the Babymetal Chronicles (you might want to check in on that), where Su and Moa talked about their concert experiences, Su talked about her performing overseas the first time, and how she saw people getting into the music like a wave from the front of the crowd and slowly going to the back, and everyone was getting into it even thought they don't know Japanese. 🤘🦊🤘

    I've watched and loved all of your BabyMetal reactions, you bring such great insight to this. Thank you! And thanks for bringing Froggy on here. Really cool to listen to his stories.
    If you're ok with a suggestion for your next reaction... the song Kagerou (with Kami Band intro) is one of my favorites to date and gives a great feel for how much the music and the performers have changed and matured through the years. It also features the Kami Band of the West, including the great Anthony Barone on drums. They toured with BabyMetal in 2019 and 2020.

    @emb5091 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    WOW! It's cool knowing that Korn REALLY surprised them. I always assumed when Korn joined them on stage that the girls already knew about it in advance and the guys just called it a "surprise" for the camera, because the girls didn't flinch or miss a step when they came on! Also at the end of the clip, you can see Moa running to Head and giving him a high-5 and he leans in for a hug....that tells you a lot, especially how respectful and kind both bands must have been to each other.

  • @JustAnotherReactor

    Very cool interview. The first BabyMetal song I reacted to was Road of Resistance. It got blocked but I later posted it with a watermark. I actually thought I was going to have to nicely say "Thanks but no thanks". Since they had the word "Metal" in their name I was seriously thinking I was going to hear some very poppy metal with little girls singing and dancing. Well I got the little girls singing and dancing but holy s**t, I was not expecting the music I heard. Especially when the fast part of that song kicked in and that mosh pit from hell started. I was literally blown away and wasn't even sure what I was watching or how to even react. I was literally dumbfounded. It might not show that much in my reaction video but there was all kinds of thoughts running through my head as I watched that video. Been a huge fan ever since.

    That was a cool story from the road tours. Media get bashed a lot for all the things it messes up. But then we get your videos. And things like this story that make it worth it. Music is made to bring people together. If you play it, they will come. You have a chance to go see them live in Japan come January. Babymetal is doing two shows there that month. To be at the first two shows they're doing since taking a break would be life altering. The lines from a Van Halen song always reminds me of Babymetal now. "So good that the roof fell in. And now everybody wants to go". I know we want to. Babymetal is back and it's exciting to see so many folks talking about them in a good way.

    Great content, and thanks for sharing with your friends for us to enjoy! Always nice to hear stories of acceptance for this highly unusual (though much better known now) band! I am 60, and have been in the metal "scene" since the late 70's...this band totally turned back on to a genre that I was feeling was getting a bit "stale". 30-40 years ago (hell, 10 years ago) if you had told me I would be so into this...I would have said you were nuts, yet here I am! I cannot recall off the top of my head, but if you have not yet listened to "AMORE"...definitely give that a listen.

    I knew Marty had always been a strong supporter of BabyMetal. However I didn't realize just how close those connections were.
    So hearing this as well from Korn's people as is pretty epic!! As how often do you get this kind of VIP access here!
    Babymetal has come a long ways from Summer Sonic here. Amazing they are 13 year veterans now already at 23, Moa 24, Sue-Metal, unreal!! Rock on Ladies!! 🤘🦊💕

    However, this was original and fresh content for The One. I have to say that this was incredibly interesting and look forward to other content like this from industry insiders.

    Probably should mention BabyMetal just dropped a new single 3 days ago. Probably already know as the news had been everywhere on it lol. Anyway Devine Attack-Shingeki is boss as f***!! I guess we know what they were doing over covid here.
    Sitting on their asses definitely not it seems lol. New album drops on March 23, 2023. Where they will already be on tour with Sabaton in April.
    So this would be great news here in addition. If and when something maybe could materlize would be sick!! Second bit of good news was hearing about Band-Maid's tour!!
    Which they are opening for Guns & Roses in November & are currently already on their US tour. They played The Apolo Theate, Aftershock & currently House Of Blues across the country.
    Really happy for Band-Maid & BM as both have worked so hard to get to this point. So it's great hearing from actually industry insiders on this s** as how rare is that lol. Great content here guys you rock!! 🤘💕🦊
