BABYMETAL DEATH | Legend 1997 (Complete) 

The ending part literally knocked me out

Total pagan ritual.

Imagine front row center!

@@artunblock9433 these 3... well... bosses.

no

LMAO

Or better yet, if the only thing you know about them, is KARATE and Doki Doki Morning. But to be fair, as I understand it, this song's very existence, and the over the top stage theatrics, was created as a middle finger to everyone who said they're not metal. Because brother, that's the most metal thing I've ever seen!

CULT ALERT

HAHAHA

Jajajajajja LOL

omg lmao

Lol

Riff Raff 😂🤘

This comment wins! Lmao!!!

You sir, are a comment god amongst men. I salute you!

more about to present themselves The song _"BabyMetal - BabyMetal Death"_ is a pun in the Japanese language Japanese speaker have a lot of difficulty to pronounce the _"th"_ at the end of the word _Death_ That sound does not exist in the Japanese language. Therefore, they pronounce it _"Des"_ In Japanese, the word _です_ or in our writing _"Desu"_ (the letter "u" is silent; pronounce "Des") mean; "I am" or "we are" The song is a way for them to present themselves BabyMetal Death lyrics : Death _(6 times)_ followed by Su-Metal Death Death _(6 times)_ followed by YuiMetal Death Death _(6 times)_ followed by MoaMetal Death Death _(6 times)_ followed by BabyMetal Death Then they sing the letters : B, A, B, Y, M, E, T, A, L However, the Japanese Pronunciation of the song is : Des _(6 times)_ followed by Su-Metal Des -> I am Su-Metal Des _(6 times)_ followed by YuiMetal Des -> I am YuiMetal Des _(6 times)_ followed by MoaMetal Des -> I am MoaMetal Des _(6 times)_ followed by BabyMetal Des -> We are BabyMetal Therefore, we should sing "Des" and not "Death" with them in live concert * The word "Desu" have the letter "u" silent when we pronounce it normally, however if we have to pronounce that word slowly, the letter "u" is no longer silent

@@FreddyYUL Holy actual fuck! Ty!

@@FreddyYUL hiii feddy how are you

@@FreddyYUL THANK YOU I NO LONGER HAVE TO EXPLAIN

@@FreddyYUL this is the most informative comment I’ve ever seen

Thank you! 💛✋

The #notacult is killing me😂😂

Tyvm

Yoshiki's LEGENDARY NECK BRACE?

I would drink the Kool-aid...

Yeaaaah

Riff Raff True tho

Don't underestimate the bassist... he's a big metalhead in the group!

Erik Bandinelli Well, the backing musicians are well-established in Metal and BABYMETAL's producer is a big metalhead.

She's like 19 😂😂

Nope, she turned 16 the day before this concert.

hold my chocolate...

2 tiny girls now 😭

@@9yearoldepicgamersoldier129 2 teenagers :'(

Moa is actually 19 this year and su is 21

lol

kuffar infidel 🙁 I know it's crazy he's gone.

Not even that the smile he had eveytime he did it

So true.

It's not mikio. Backthen, he was not yet playing with babymetal. The solo may had been perfomed by Leda or Takayoshi.

@@DonDaniellllll That was Mikio. Takayoshi was on guitar on the other side of the stage and Leda couldn't pull that solo off like that. It's too fluid and legato, like Mikio's guitar hero Alan Holdsworth.

The act of which also was so metal it tore the head off a statue of the virgin Mary

@@Senecal it was actually a sign or symbol of Su's rebirth as the Metal Goddess to send message to the world to BECOME ONE! special message from The Fox God

@@adamazri928 that's even cooler lol

XD

“Did we mention it was her birthday too?”

I guess that means she had the whole Sunday to recover from her re-birth. I can imagine it being kind of strenuous.

How many 16-year olds have been worshipped as metal goddess?

@@autohmae Probably Massive Headache

She just threw a slight party with a few friends.

“yeah i just got crucified and completely reborn, nothing special.”

Alejandro Bernal I had no idea he died. Terrible news. I really loved his skill and feel but absolutely loved his stage presence. What a drag. So young.

+Alejandro Bernal - I want to upvote your comment but I feel it would be rude. Fujioka-sensei, ko-Gami, was one of a kind and will be missed terribly. Huh. I thought Leda did this concert, but that smile can't be anyone but Mikio.

Mikio Fujioka Little God :(

Alejandro Bernal oh the guitarist nvm

Hoo is that?

This is literally a straight up pop performance. There is no difference between this and what Gaga or Madonna do on stage. I’m sorry but they are a bunch of posers. They are a like *NSYNC meaning it’s a manufactured pop group.

@@tsxtina2919 i kinda agree with you but hey for a first metal group from japan they really broke boundaries. Most metal bands are american, german and whatnot. Also younger artists performing in the metal stage is kinda new to many

@@tsxtina2919 also id rather have this than kpop

@@evobsm2328 wierd but true

@@tsxtina2919 poser

Welcome to the BABYMETAL FAMILY!!

Same here. I discovered Babymetal mid December last year. Since then, that’s all I’ve been listening to. Apologies for being so late as well.

Welcome 🤘🦊

Never is too late. I'm waiting for they come to my country for years and years.... And I'm always will, no matter what..

Welcome 🙏

Most Christians would think goddess worship is satanic though,,,

Satanism is worshipping to Satan, and they're not doing that. They're just worshipping Su-Metal (the main singer) as their metal Goddess. Obviously this is just a metal show. So chill out!

@@dorianleakey That's not so much Satanic as it Sacrilegious

To be fair, most Christians would not know the difference between satanism and paganism.

Martiddy - Sama Satanists do not worship Satan.

Yes it is super satanic indeed, it’s a fuckin ritual bra

@@jasonbobbers8484 oh whatever leave please we're tired of hearing that shit, the bright morning star isn't bad

Are you a guy or a girl? Cuz I can’t tell

Same tbh

IDream0fDeathbutDreamsDon'tComeTrue why don’t more people understand that?

~Blue-Eyed-Stray-God~ Check out the Legend S performance

The only problem with Babymetal Death at Legend S is that Yui is missing and I really like how at Legend 1997 Mikio gets more spotlight, other than that Legend S is better. So I would say: they both have their own advantages. :-)

@@autohmae legend s WITH yui would have been the perfect live experience and greatest show of all time :) good thing she was missing so we can still look forward to improvement :D

@@MetalGuitarTimo "good thing she was missing so we can still look forward to improvement :D" That's putting a very positive spin on a very sad topic.

@@autohmae true, thats all we can do for now ;')

If all purists would turned to be like you, peace may prevail on earth.

@@Zigaboomusiczig I'm a metal head but I love it when other cultures put metal into their music it makes it 10× better

You Guys still exist?

No. You were right

Cyrus Garner Don’t be a hater.

I perfectly agree

@@guilhermecait2840 Duuuuuuuuuuuuh i Like Babymetal sooooooooooo i agree also

@@guilhermecait2840 hii is suzuka abandoneding her Humam to reborn as a metal Goddess

Okay...

OH YEAH YEAH WE CAN

@@massivepp6969 OH YEAH YEAH!!!!

The religion of the Fox god?

#NOTACULT

Ijime Dame Zentai is not far also

@@FreddyYUL it's heavy but it's a single. My list is about dark side of the album.

@@bavackyantho5485 I agree with you, "In The Name Of" almost makes me break things in my house when I'm listening

The new version of Babymetal Death played at Budokan (only some fancams available) sounds even heavier

Akumu no Rondo is actually the heaviest by far.

Yoonbum Tokyo Dome

Legend S?

Teamo

Do you mean prefabricated music or what they want to show in the video? nothing is free in life God exists the Devil too, and neither of the two play what they recreate in this videos if you think that God does not exist ago this and nothing will happen, you are wrong

@@JHONNWALKING bro it was a comment based off of their musical prowess, it had literally nothing to do with religion

Aren't they already?

*+Asy* - Regrettably, not yet. I'm pretty sure creator/producer Koba's ultimate dream is for Babymetal to sell out Madison Square Garden (20,000), and they aren't close -- the most they've pulled alone in the USA is 4,000. It'll take at least two more great albums and way more media coverage. For reference, X-Japan played MSG, but I don't know if they sold it out. Babymetal did not sell out Wembley Arena (12,500) in London but came within a couple hundred tickets of doing so. Europe is way more densely populated and metal is bigger there, so it's an easier task than MSG. I don't know if Babymetal will ever be stadium-big outside Japan. I hope so.

Perhaps the only reason they havent pulled more than 4k people in a US show if because they havent performed at bigger venues, im pretty confident they can do at least 8k shows but OTFGK

Soufriere They already sold out the budokan 2 consecutive nights.

That was Japan, he's talking about selling out an equal size Western venue, which they haven't been able to do (yet).

Cho! Cho! Cho!

I think it was at SoniSphere 2014 where the girls got to hang around backstage (they'd opened the stage) to watch Slayer perform.

Yes it is, if you mean demonic, then yes

@@jasonbobbers8484 NO ONE CARES

Jason Bobbers how Christian of you.

Old school Arch Enemy…..

Of course, considering that's the precious hair of the queen Suzuka, well it obviously has to be manipulated carefully.

well metallica isn't even the best of metal, but this was metal as fuck!!!

Metallica 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

FruitbasketNL I think you never seen Rammstein live

Oke FACTS

Hail black metal

Sorry but it seems that you believe the statute in the background is the Virgin Mary ( your catholic remark ).. The statute is Lady Justice. It’s not the Virgin Mary. Has nothing to do with religion. Metallica had a famous concert in Mexico during 1986 and they had lady justice statue too. Babymetal are paying homage to that concert here. It’s Suzuka’s 16 birthday.

I can't help but wonder how sore their knees are when they are done bouncing up and down like Micheal Jordan on a pogo stick for most the night.

Connie Smith one word: very

Norway specializes in black metal

yeah...this is an awesome song...but nothing really about it is death metal

Even the dude who burn churches will be scared of this.

that section yeah, I could just keep rewinding it and keep listening without listening to the rest of the damn song and still I am satisfied.

Exactly the same feeling...that double-bass section always has got me...over and over again...all of the sudden, I see myself air-drumming that part...and I am not shame to admit it!!!

Just to let you know, there is also a live CD "Live At Wembley Arena" audio CD : www.amazon.com/Live-At-Wembley-Arena-Babymetal/dp/B01MTLBDA5/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=babymetal&qid=1585959257&rnid=2941120011&s=music&sr=1-7

That’s always how it starts. Soon you’ll fall down the rabbit hole of live concerts which leads you to looking up interviews and show appearances until you reach the point where you snap out of a daze and realize you just spent seven hours binging Sakura Gakuin content.

Thats moa

@@familyfriendly3064 ooh thank you! I still have some problems differentiating them in their earlier performances😅 Thought Moa and Yui were siblings, when I saw my very first Babymetal Video (Gimme Chocolate).

@@gintonic5770 it's ok.. Some time they are really looks similar..

had to scroll pretty far to find a comment about this fucked up drummer

yeah, even added some blasts beats

Yes and no, .in Japan they abide by rules more than a lot of other countries and just as in the west the bands say: don't film, enjoy and in Japan they actually listen.

Yeah it's usually a Swedish Black Metal band that does stuff like this.

Yes! The fusion of Metal and JPOP is complete!

Tell them that the statue is Lady Justice and not the Virgin Mary believed by jesus freaks.. They’re Japanese, they care not for your magic man and his idiot son’s 🐂💩

You're on after BabyMetal... Oh s**t, pack the gear up

look and listen i piss on my self too much metal

The bands that have used them as opening acts (Lady GaGa, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallic, Gun's N Roses) have been acts who are confident in the strength of their own live shows and wanted a strong warm up act.

you are wrong, it's big four opening for Babymetal

autohmae holy crap! Crowd was pumped lol

Who is saying that that’s crazy

Only the fox god knows 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

They premiered "Gimme Chocolate" at the very same show. It's actually their official video. Then they end the concert with this Banger.

SHE SACRIFICES TO SAVE METAL

Legend 1997, this show is about Su's birth year that's why they did that.

+arbalest T - Specifically, this concert was held December 21st 2013, the day after Su's 16th birthday. It was a way to show that the child Suzuka of Sakura Gakuin was gone, replaced by the Queen Su-Metal.

From what we've seen, Suzuka in real life is really humble, maybe that is why she could hold herself back. Also she has been on stage since 5 years old, she knows how a show is made.

I think the humble and the respectful nature of the 3 of them not big headed , arrogant or anything and have so much charisma.This has Endeared them to fans , interviewers and fellow performers across the world.

Here is a BABYMETAL mythology: Su, the lead singer, died as a normal school girl on the cross and was reborn as an agent with a mission to restore the glory of metal music to our world. The neck brace is a symbol of heavy metal. Wearing it means to wear the mantle of metal music. Think about it as a story in a musical theater. Another important fact is that the song title is "BABYMEAL DEATH (DESU)", which is a word play on Japanese and English words. Since Japanese language does not have "th" sound, they replace "th" with "su" and pronounce "death" as "desu". Now "BABYMETAL DESU" in Japanese means "[We] are BABYMETAL", a self-introduction. So, the whole thing means this. We are BABYMETAL. Our mission is to revive metal music. We sacrifice our normal life (we work very hard) for the mission. That's BABYMETAL and that's who we are.

I would soo love to see them tour with other Japanese acts like Band Maid and Japan X.

My favorite comment! :D
