Mostly Band Maid content, but I will do other music as well....one day :) No intention of monetizing this channel - just hope it puts a smile on your dial :) But subbing, liking and commenting does help the videos get around.
Thanks for watching & have a Maidtastic Day! All the best from Australia!
The more I see , the more I , it could be love of her HUGE Talent . Maybe dare we think that this lady has more than a little ENTWISLE in her , that's getting weird but ,the kid is VERY GOOD is she not ?.
Der Untergang is one of my favorite films and for me this is the late Bruno Ganz’s opus, such a brilliant performance. I loved it how AH muttered “so sad po” 😅 made me laugh real hard. By the way, don’t blame Steiner. He bumped into Fegelein enroute to the Führerbunker and Hermann being sneaky and all, scalped the tickets to some unlucky fans who were without them.
Never in my life would I have thought there would be a reason that anything to do with hitler would make me laugh and smile. This is pure comedy genius, in the most unlikely setting. Thanks!
Misa is a gorgeous specimen, but... _time never waits for me, time never waits for you,_ ... suddenly she's over thirty years old. Will Misa pass on her genes?
The bass solo in Thrill hooked me on to this group so many years ago. I love MISA MISA MISA and was fortunate to see them 3 times when they toured USA last two times. Yes I made sure I was on the left side but they are all wonderful musicians
Akane Hirose: one of my favorite drummers! I grew up listening to drummers like Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cobham, and Ginger Baker. All men. I never had a favorite female drummer... until now. I wish I were rich or famous, then I could hire Band Maid often to play for me. And I could listen to all of these talented musicians (Akane, Miku, Saiki, Kanami and Misa), and my dream... to have a date with each of them ! Until then, I hope they come to Los Angeles once again before they retire!
Akane is one of the best drummers in hardrock ever, she makes amazing drum patterns on a standard 5 piece kit. I've be fortunate to see her play live 4 times the last two years, and I very much look forward to see her again as soon as possible. I hope Band-Maid will play in Japan in late November as I will visit Tokyo at that time. Akane is my favorite drummer and gorilla, playing drums in my favorite band of all times, Band-Maid. Greetings from Norway 🙂
Imo, Kanami is one of the greatest rock songwriters ever. Her music is so versatile, creative, interesting and fun. And as the band's sole songwriter and lead guitarist, she is insanely hardworking and prolific. On top of all that, Kanami's humility is rarefied stuff, and she is beloved by all. She's the golden goose of the band.
No. She's a good drummer, and deserves recognition, but there's nothing beyond the upper-intermediate skill level. She wouldn't be able to play something like Meshuggah, or the more advanced Gojira songs, for instance. I like Band-Maid, not trying to be negative.
And yet you are being negative, judging what she might be able to do based only on what she has done. She is a perfect fit in the context of Band-Maid. You have no way of knowing what she could do in another context.
@@roqy It's a simple analysis of techniques, coordination, and applied patterns. You can tell a drummer's level of expertise by breaking down *how* they're playing something, what patterns they rely on heavily, where their shortcomings may still lie (we all have them) and what they appear to be avoiding. Beyond that, there is also time centre and beat placement. She keeps good time but it doesn't have the same pocket as a world class player. These aren't meant to be negatives -- she would probably agree with me, and it's the person making the video who's putting her on the pedestal of the world's best players, not Akane herself. She never asked for that, she just has a superfan.
@@johnknight9150 I don't dispute your assessment of her current work. I'm assuming you have the knowledge to match your vocabulary. The only thing that nags is the implied judgement, intended or not, that because this is what she is, this is all she can ever be. I don't buy that. They say that success is 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. She has generated enough perspiration to be able to play a thirty song plus, three-and-a-half hour plus set and come out the other side smiling. Given the proper inspiration I suspect she could learn whatever is needed. But their music isn't technical. They don't set out to impress with the number of notes they can play, they are passion based and their music makes you feel something. In that context, she plays with a high level of musical intelligence and appropriateness. Enough so that back in 2016 Jimmy Page requested a photo with her and compared her favorably to John Bonham. She's noticeably better now. The passion in their music (along with their humility) is also why their fan base is so wildly enthusiastic and tends to idolize them. I don't go that far, but they are one of only three groups that have convinced me to spend money on CD's since the eighties.
@@roqy Whoah, whoah, "ever be"? Heck no. How could anyone know such a thing? I'm a firm believer that these skills can all be learned consciously. And her chops have noticeably improved year over year. Though I'm not sure I understand your argument when most of the footage here is from her soloing, where Band Maid's music is no longer dictating any limitations and she's free to play whatever she likes. If I can be a bit harsh for a second, during her solos, she's doing stuff that sounds cool to a casual listener, but there's really nothing particularly difficult happening. Most intermediate drummers could replicate it with a bit of time, and any advanced drummer could replicate what she's playing without any difficulty. If we were talking about food, it's like comparing a great dish that's a town favourite and recommended to tourists with a world famous Michelin star restaurant that other chefs from around the world would visit to study and learn from. Nothing wrong with being the town-favourite restaurant, it's just the person who made this video is putting her on the level of the Michelin star of the world masters and she just doesn't have those chops. Yet. [edit: Actually, that chef analogy isn't very good because it would imply Band-Maid's appeal are just local, not international. But I think you probably get my point, the difference between "this is great, check it out" and the contenders for world's best.]
I know artists who have vomited blood and eaten bats on stage, but isn't this the only one who has thrown banana peels? She's the best drummer I've ever seen!
So many great bass guitarists have driven rock music over the decades, many of them under-utilized and underappreciated, but none of them ever captivated me, brought me to tears, or left me speechless until MISA.
Thank you so much. This was great! For me..Kanami is the most impressive musician of the 21st Century. She is my alltime favourite musician. Lovin’ and respect her Talent, Passion, Work & Heart. Lovin’ Kanami aka Mincho ❤️ Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
My pleasure thanks for watching :) she is a once in a while talent! Right back at you from Australia! Just thinking how cool is it that someone from Finland has a Japanese woman as their fav musician! It's a Maidtastic World some days :)
@@ThouDailyBlab Band-Maid connects the world, Po! 😅 How great is that someone from Australia is doin’ great tribute videos about Japanese All Female Band? Love it! Hope they get that World Domination someday, they deserve to be number one band in this planet 🤘🔥❤️
@bocatampere Number 1 and Number 2 and Number 3.....lol I created these vids to showcase the members - spread the word as it were. Best band i've seen/heard in 40 years, they are doing something right :)
@@ThouDailyBlab Yeah. Was working in rock business almost 30 years. Seen few thousand gigs etc and never seen or heard better band than Maids. They are just amazing. Thank you for spreading the word, Po 🙏🏻🤘🔥❤️
ミサより技術的に上手いベーシストはたくさんいるとは思う、けどミサほど興奮と感動を与えてくれるベーシストは過去50年近くいなかった。だからワタシにとってのベーシストはミサなんだ😃 There are many bassist more technical than Misa, but no one has been as exciting and inspiring as Misa in nearly 50 years. So for me, there is no other bassist but Misa.😃
Yep: elite-tier rock bassist. My favorite thing about Misa's playing isn't her technical chops (although she has those in abundance), it's her musicality and taste. She never fails to give top priority to the needs of the _song_. She's precisely the kind of bassist every musician wants in their band.
Agree. She's the kind that walks into other bands and makes them sound better. Band Maid's style of music allows her to express her musicality too. They are great to listen to. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the compilation! Eight years ago I watched my first BAND-MAID video, Don't let me down, while I clicked on it because of Miku in the thumbnail, it was Akane's relentless drumming that hooked me.
Some complain Kanami’s solos are too short. Well, just go to The Daily Blab and take in 19:16 of Kanami genius solos. Only scratching the surface. Thanks Daily Blab! Well done.
