    Yes!!!! Band Maid!!!!!
    Do “Real Existence” next!
    The lead guitarist is nuts, the bassist is rock solid, and the drummer is next level!
    (Im a musician and i LOVE how talented these girls are)
    After these girls, check out Maximum the Hormone. Japanese metal band that also does music for anime on occasion.

      First, "Don't you tell ME" - MV. Beacause this is the self-presentation of all girls, with their assigned roles. Then "YOLO", and next - their live perfomances.

Why? Because those girls are a real deal. Thrust me, I already seen them live. Unforgettable.

      +Xenophon You must not see many Japanese girl bands then. Just in metal you have groups like Aldious, Bridear, Mary's Blood, Show-Ya, LOVEBITES, Destrose, G∀LMET, Gekijo METALicche, etc., etc. I could go on for quite some time like this. All the girls in these groups are very talented and play their instruments well. I think you just need to dig a bit deeper.

    Fun fact: The singer wasn’t originally part of the original lineup. The guitarist/vocalist started the band after getting the idea from working in a maid cafe. They had some small success, held auditions for a dedicated vocalist and there you have it. Check out their song Real Existence. Also for another good all female Japanese band check Aldious. Destrose is also a good one

    This was actually one of their more "poppy" songs, even though it has some awesome solo work in it. I HIGHLY recommend their song "Dice", it's just a beautiful mix of heaviness, catchiness, etc.

    I like Band Maid. I did some research on female metal bands from Japan and it turns out this has been a thing since around 2000. There are a ton of great metal bands in Japan. Now that you know this please check out Lovebites the song Shadowmaker. They are also all female but they sing in English, they've been at some European metal festivals and getting ready for a full European tour. They are heavier than Band Maid and they shed hard with two guitarists.

  • @MegaDibbler
    @MegaDibbler 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Another vote for you listening to their track "Dice". Thrill is great, and I'm so glad you did pick the band as they are a real favourite of my mine, but Dice is a much better example of their work.

  • @ReverendMagnificent
    @ReverendMagnificent 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Band-Maid are one of my favourite bands. I've actually imported all of their albums, but this was the song that got me into them originally. It's so funny how awkward this video is though - they're all immensely uncomfortable on camera. All of their other videos are much more professional and natural feeling. Really really good live shows, and they've all progressed as musicians a lot since they started out. Definitely check out some of their more recent music, especially a live song.

  • @Hippie459MN

The translated lyrics are hilarious.) and Dolls Box "Take My Chance". Have a dope ass day.

    Yo Alex! Just discovered your channel a few days ago and watched a ton of your videos :D
    As for other Band-Maid songs I would recommend "Dice" and "Alone", those belong to my top favorites (they don't have any bad songs though)!
    In general Japan really has some awesome Metal / Rock bands, I would also suggest:
    The Gazette - "Falling" and "Ugly" for their newer sound, "Filth In The Beauty" for older stuff
    Girugamesh - unfortunately disbanded in 2016, but their amazing music such as "Chimera", "Drain" and "Break Down" is timeless
    Coldrain - singer is half-american, so all their lyrics are in English... "Envy", "No Escape" and "Wrong"
    That's it for now, I'm certainly able to give you a few other recommendations in future! :D
    Keep it up! \m/

    this was the first music video they put out 4 years ago. they've only gotten exponentially better as each year has passed. hope you explore further down the band-maid rabbit hole.. they're even better live, and you ain't seen nothin from the bass or drums yet

    I just discovered this band yesterday. (where have I been). I'm enjoying watching their vids and have much the same reaction. Best Rock band I've heard in a long time.

    Apparently the guitarist is a fan of Carlos Santana so it would make sense she'd want to have her shred skills up to snuff.

    Really liking this. I've never heard of them but now I'll have to check them out for sure. Language is never important in music.
    You should check out "Megitsune" from Babymetal.

    Your face when the solo hit.... classic. And yeah I made the same face first time I heard these girls.
    Check out World Gone Mad, or A Place Where There's No More Pain, by Life of Agony. They first hit the scene big in the 90's, then the singer had a major life change, but now they're back and rockin' hard

    I only found these girls a few weeks ago. Band-Maid is my first iTunes purchase EVER. For those that say Rock is dead, they are wrong. It just moved to Japan and wears French Maid outfits. And prom dresses, and jeans and t-shirts and a whole range of outfits. I swear, the Japanese are killing it when it comes to hard rock and metal right now. And the bands seem to be dominated by women.
    This is a serious rabbit hole. Just yesterday I clicked on Bridear "Ignite" and OMG! I have no idea how it is Japanese girls got guitars and rock instruments, but however it happened it is the best thing ever!
    For Band-Maid, check out the live versions of their stuff. It is amazing. Thrill is arguably one of the "weaker" songs. Real Existence is the best one to have a video off that album. The rest of the album is at least as good as Thrill. The two albums since "Bring it," and "Domination" are even better (The drummer is amazing, and she gets noticeably better in each successive album)
    Other people have already listed a number of related bands (Aldious, Doll$Boxx, Lovebites, Bridear and MANY others). You should check them all out.

    You might have noticed that they seem slightly awkward in front of the cameras here - this was their first ever music video IIRC.
    Check out the video for "DICE" to see how far they've come and also to hear Misa's incredible bass work on that song.

    Love your reactions Alex. A few years ago I discovered a J-metal band called Versailles and was completely blown away how good they were. I ended up discovering a whole s**t load of J-rock bands after that and I now plug them whenever I can because there're so many good bands from Japan and they deserve some exposure. So check some of them out:
    Unluck Morpheus-Cadaver/Revadac
    Galneyrus-Angel of Salvation
    Yousei Teikoku-Kyusei Αργυροσ
    Versailles-Ascendead Master

    If you liked the double of the bass and lead guitar solo, check out their song "Dice". It amazing, as can be expected from this very talented group.

  • @nieblas112w
    @nieblas112w 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The bassist is great. When they were coming to San Fransisco they asked her what was the first thing that came to mind when mentioning San Fransisco and with a expressionless face she just said "Alcatraz State Penitentiary". Left the interviewer speechless.

    Wow, you're doing Band-Maid, that's amazing. I don't normally comment on videos, but this band is great, and they get a million times heavier than the song you just reacted to, which is quite an early one. I'd be interested in seeing your reaction to Dice, Domination or Real Existence.

    Not what i was expecting, but not that bad, i like Japanese, amazing voice, great music, good solo. Thumbs up for your reaction video, you are so positive about everything, and that makes my day better. This weird but good songs and videos might blow you away : The Birthday Massacre - In The Dark, and Billy Talent - Fallen Leaves, these are the ones you never reacted to. Enjoy!!!

  • @Glynthepin
    @Glynthepin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Congratulations on choosing Thrill, as your first reaction. It was their first music video and although the clothes are toned down now, they still predominantly wear maids outfits.
    They sound this good live. Like BabyMetal, the live performance are excellent.
    Band Maid have a fantastic catalogue of songs for you to react to, if you wish? Here is an example. Secret My Lips: th-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/w-d-xo.html This is from a live show but studio audio or mixing desk audio is used for the video. A good music video is, Don't Let Me down. It is sung in English but is difficult to tell and the lyrics are surprising. th-cam.com/video/0YGwUhg2XNk/w-d-xo.html
    You will get many recommendations for Dice. It is a good song but from their most recent CD so it's up to you as to whether you try and roughly follow the timeline of releases or just chop and change as songs get recommended.

    Appreciate you choose all those different styles. Time for some technical metal. ALLEGAEON: PROPONENT FOR SENTIENCE III THE EXTERMINATION. High class metal. A good mix of growling and high class singing. 8string guitars wizardry. They use all strings with soloing actually. Not every guitarist does/could do so. Give it a try. Major Goosebumps.

    It would be nice if someone from their environment, maybe even the management of Band Maid, caused someone commenting at YT with the largest subscription finally interested that band. But I suspect that this is unfortunately a coincidence or an initiative of fans. Alex, this is really a pack of great musicians girls.
