BAND-MAID / Don't You Tell Me (Live) REACTION | Metal Musician Reacts 

"Not in a talkative mood, just want to watch Band-Maid" Song starts, mood is brightened Starts talking more. The power of band maid I tell you lol.

It’s unfortunate they have taken so many live Band Maid songs off RU-vid. Try reacting to “Real Existence “ April 13, 2018 live. Also “Take me Higher” live if you can find it. Thanks for your great reations

"I don't wanna talk a whole lot..." Proceeds to point out not only the good parts but stuff I never noticed before. You da man.

Yeah, when they SLAM in to the chorus right after Saiki says "Die 4 u" is just 😍🥰

I always enjoy your Band-Maid reactions! Thank you for doing them.

It's not just a duel between Kanami and Misa....if you listen in the background.....Akane is ALSO taking part in this duel.......

I'm glad you got to react to this that is why I gave you a heads up when it came back and sent you a link . I just love the battle between MISA and Kanami and I love her fist pump in the air at the very end of the battle. I think i heard in an interview that is was Saiki who told them to just do something here and they said ok how about this

Ok Champ.... a few points: 1. "Not in a talkative mood"?? See what Band-Maid did to you!! They changed that in a hurry. (lol) 2. The low vocals is Miku. Yes, there are pre-recorded vocals there, but Miku often takes the lower range (Choose Me, for one). She not only has a voice of a cute pigeon, but also a fierce dragon. 3. And on the subject of pre-recorded samples/tracks/effects and what not...... I used to have a problem with it..... till I saw how it could be done right (ie Band-Maid). They are usually triggered by either Akane or Kanami. 4. As much as I love a multi layered, complicated rock epic.... I equally love a straight up, simple "chugger". (Choose Me is actually my favorite B-M song.) AND FINALLY 5. Go back and listen to Akane's drum work during Kanami and MISA's jam. It is SUBLIME. A cool Band-Maid reaction again. Thanks.

Something that always gets lost during Kamani and MISA'a duel is Akane's drumming. As always it's amazing and perfect.

Gotta write catchy chorus hooks when most of the world has no idea what you're saying. 🤣 Love it. I go back and forth on Saiki's lead track whether there's another person singing an octave down on it or if there's an Octaver on her voice. There's a few tracks where this is noticable. Also I agree on that synth line doubling the "whoas" in the chorus. It's like an altered steel drum patch or something? That "explosion" in the chorus sounds like it's possibly a synth driven patch that's a bit industrial sounding, kind of like NIN would use. A guitarish patch with some extra white noise, just on the downbeat. What do you think?

The guitar solo might make more sense to you when it is said that Kanami's favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana.

"[NEWS] BAND-MAID, NEW ALBUM & NEW SINGLE RELEASE! 2020.09.28 (...) BAND-MAID will be releasing the single "Different" on December 2, 2020, and a new album in January 2021."

Plz do daydreaming live by band maid sir

Great commentaries and song breakdowns. I♥️BandMaid. You add so much to my appreciation of their talent and performances. Thank you.

What Rush decided was that, given that three men couldn't reproduce every studio sound while playing their primary instruments, they would at least fire the sounds in real time as part of the show. If that's good enough for Rush, it's good enough for anyone.

Awesome reaction Champ BANDMAID always makes me happy they helped me get through a hard time in my life and even though they will never know and no reason they should I love them and their music and will always be their fan. I’m glad you were looking more like your self before the video was over. One of the best reasons for music is it can make you feel good. Remember we’re all here loving what you do keep up the great work my friend stay 😎✌️

band maid take me higher live reaction

The “duel” was only for that season of concerts. Not in studio version. So it is indeed one of the more basic songs. MISA’s recommendation to people who want to Try playing band-Maid songs bass parts.

The explosion is Akane's great big splash. She adds so much in this song, especially behind the solos - the on-going heart beat.

Man, where is that link? I've been missing this song....my fav Band Maid song.

この人はちゃんと音楽に向き合ってくれてる感じがして好感が持てる。

Sounds like the effect is on a china cymbal

Another Band-Maid content! Thanks man! Have you ever heard of the band Mary's Blood by any chance? I'm just putting it out there in case you decide to check them out... Mary''s Blood - Marrionette

They make unique songs! It feels like every song has received the band's careful attention, to make it live and breathe the best it can. They don't overuse the effects. Distortion can be nice, but if everything is distorted...my ears get tired...hehehe...I think, as they evolve, we'll see Kanami's live work expand to keyboard synths. Like Champ said, the keyboard line really made the chorus. They could afford to expand the "quiet" areas more, which increases the dynamism = synth fills...let Saiki soar a bit...thinking of Rush, "Time Stand Still"...

listen to Akane's drumming while the girls are battling their guitars...!!! epic 5 vs 6 string battle, but the drumming is...wow, out of this world! Akane is the winner))))

That's Miku doing that really low vocal line.

Miku Kobato is a genius among geniuses. Change my mind. Po.

The response to “I didn’t expect….” is “because Band Maid”.

Thanks for sharing, Dude. I can't wait till you do Secret My Lops/ You should do that one as a double shot, Secret My Lips followed by the Band Maiko version Secret Maiko Lips.

It is Akane hitting a small china crash cymbal that is the effect you are hearing.

Great review as usual. Thanks for sharing.

It's Miku using a pedal for voice modulation. In the past noticed the low tones too. During one of their online live shows. Miku forgot to hit the pedal off and you heard the low froggy sound on a verse that wasn't supposed to have it. If watch she works those pedals alot. Since just her and Saiki are the only vocalists (Kanami does some. But her voice is too soft). Other vocals are on a backing track.

Miku's voice is so quirky that she sings high vocal tones and very low vocal tones. She is like an anime voice actress.

Keyboard is Kanami's recording triggered probably by Akane.

The growl is actually probably Miku. Question is whether it’s her natural voice trying her best to sing an octave lower or she’s using an effect.

Love your reactions. This one was fantastic. You’ve got to react to “Real Existence - Live” next. It is a kick ass song. The solo and the riff that they layer under it are just fantastic.

Saw them in San Fran in 2018. I’ve been to a decent amount of concerts. Band-maid easily one of my favorite concerts. Small venue, no barrier and they slayed. They deserve more recognition. Keep the reactions coming. I enjoy you analysis 👌🏼

Champ I was not tripping last night when we watched the Band Maid interview and Kanima came out with her feelings for Siki

My favorite version of this song. Glad you were able to find it to react to it.

For some reason, this solo section always has me thinking of pink floyd.

Moratorium, Choose me, Non Fiction Days, Secret My Lips...etc...in that order please!

Yes, when it’s been ‘one of those days’ let a BAND-MAID song wash over your soul. You’ll feel better.

The “explosion” at the start of each chorus is Akane’s china crash cymbal - the sudden change in timbre/tone and fullness of the cymbal sound mixes with the guitars and gives that effect. Then your mind gets confused and perpetuates (because it’s trying to figure it out) that overall sound for a few more milliseconds - so that initial changes and then then overall delay in processing the sound gives us that effect.

Akane has a whole bunch of electronic triggers on her left hand side and a configurable "cow" bell (Roland TM-2, now I think) on the right side of her set. She doesn't just beat skins. Also google for a photo of Kanami's pedal board its ..... Well massive :)

That battle solo has been on hiatus since 2019 (Look at their performances this year). They didn't want to make it stale. Like they said, if you eat good food all the time, it won't taste as good since you are too used to it. Who knows when they are going to bring it back? They performed that in Berlin, the fancam has a higher quality. It sounds much more raw here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lv6vs8ALw7o.html They tend to change things, Play had a different Intro in 2018, the added Miku at the end in the first half of 2019, and then changed the intro altogether in to the current one that is uploaded into their official account.

plot twist.. that's Miku's natural frog voice.. the rest of the time you're hearing the fx

Please do mv of Real Existence

I don't think you've reacted to "Choose Me" yet. I think you'll love it!

Still waiting for "Secret my lips"

Your editing is great but I’ll do without it if you’ll react to band maid sooner lol! Glad you got a hold of this, it’s hard to find this performance online these days!

The bass/guitar battle reminds me a lot like Rush's By-Tor and the Snow Dog battle (♫Let The Fight Begin♫)

Meh. The maid costumes are a gimmick and the song is very predictable. And the reaction is scripted and edited. I'M KIDDING, GUYS! A certain Australian metal guitarist said this in a reaction video, not me.

yea thats one of their first songs, try something new like "bubble music video" the bass riff is so fast

It's disappeared from most of the streaming sites, but Matchless GUM is an interesting song of theirs because it's probably one of the least complicated things they've ever composed, but it's really cool how they layer together a bunch of simple and straightforward musical motifs into something that's really, really cool. Of course, on their more prog side, there's always Secret My Lips where Akane does an absolutely phenomenal job of controlling the momentum of the song with her drumwork.

"Don't feel like talking much..." That all changes when Bandmaid starts in on you!!

Be sure you react to Secret My Lips! This song is so good but goes unnnoticed by many.

If you love BAND-MAID, and it sure seems like you do, you must do yourself a favor and watch some NINGEN ISU videos. They are easily the best hard rock/heavy metal band in Japan. They are just so good, too good to miss.

the duel need we say more epic so bad ass i lose it everytime

That "Explosion" effect is Akane real time, most likely on a trigger to give it the volume but deffo not pre recorded, you can see it in other live videos :D

Please do more of the Maid's

I only wish I had more than one like to give this video. Keep up the great reactions Champ.

Hey man, hope listening to some Band-Maid helped improve your mood. I know it always works for me. Plus you started out saying you didn't want to talk much but I think you talked more in this than alot of videos. :D Band-Maid inspires us all.

久しぶりのBAND MAID♪👍待ってましたよ！

Excellent!. How I like those comments that make me find a new detail of the song every time I listen to it. I hadn't paid the synth the attention it deserved until today. And believe me man, I've heard this performance a thousand times. One note, during the guitar duel it is Akane's drums that make this bestial crescendo culminate explosively. It is a true masterclass of how to guide the rudder of the music that sounds until you land on the highest level of emotion possible. Thrilling.

When I watch Band-Maid, I sometimes feel like five good friends just jamming together, because they're just having a blast.

Wow! This was a pleasant surprise from my favorite BM reactor Thanks for the impromptu band maid drop! Miku has said she writes choruses that people can sing along to. It is also why they will throw in English words into the chorus. Would love to see a reaction to Real Existence live sometime (and Turn Me On live (another Misa/Kanam battle)

Cool, thanks. Is nice you have started to find clips from older Band-Maid shows, if you can find the live clips from "Take me higher", "Turn me on", "YOLO" or "Awkward" don't doubt in react to them.

"The crowd is hot as hell." So is the band.

Cymbals + Miku's guitar amped up + instant bright light, boom!

For Kanami being a soon to be 29 yr old and have such right hand pick control, lead guitar phrasing, lead guitar dynamics, just amazes me to no end!

I'm sure they do have effects on their vocals. Often Miku doubles Saiki's lead an octave lower also, and she's stretching to do it. She's gotten really good at doing those l low lines and then super fast switching up to the high harmonies. That's HARD. Champ sings. Quincy Jones INTENSIFIES.

Always happy to see another Band Maid reaction here! Happily surprised to see you pick this one. To champion a Band Maid song no one else here has brought up, would love a Choose Me reaction.

4:11. I wish that BM's former publishers would release this mv again

Great! Band-maid again! They always sound good live, doing their own twists from their own original versions. Even Saiki does it.

I think the guitar/bass battle is more like a guitar/bass love scene. It's exactly what would play at that part of a movie.

Great vid as always. I'm always glad the ladies can put a smile on your face even if you're not in a talkative mood :) for the record I think your comments were insightful and plentiful as always!

Hope the best rocking maids cheered you up. Did you have a chance to check out "Moratorium" by Band-Maid? Trust me, it's another banger to cheer you up...

I'll just give my 👍 .. it should say everything.

Actually... That growl lower voice was Miku😂. Yeah, she's really a lil demon right there

Ohhhh yeah!!Miku does a lot of low vocals....it just sounds so good with Saiki!

"Not very talkative". Talks the whole time (Just messing with you. I like your reactions. Mostly.).

Band-Maid just has that effect, don't they? (paraphrasing) "I don't really feel that well, I'm just going to get into it." And by the end you're a little more perky and a little more happy. :)

Wow 225 commentarys for band-maid! This band is more and more popular!!!👍🎸

"gimme ketchup", laugh every time. Love these guys.

Always looking forward to your band maid reactions. Editing or no editing, it doesn't matter, your breakdowns what I'm here for.

Thanks for the awesome video! I love watching your BAND-MAID videos and enjoy your commentary/breakdown of the songs. Thanks again!

Another mysterious bassist. Another master drummer. Lead guitar/vocals. ❗Accént❗ "Don't you tell Me" (Live) 👉🏻BAND🎀MAID cover👈🏻 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BbEYc2yY2s4.html Kanon (11 years old): Vocal & Guitar Haru (11 years old): Bass & Chorus Fumi (10 years old): Drums & Chorus

There was a live recording of Choose Me before that I'm pretty sure has been taken down where you could hear Miku's mic a lot more clearly and in that song she switched a lot between that lower register and then higher stuff.

It is one of Akane's smaller crash cymbals,

Loved this. Just a simple appreciation video.

I was going to do this one over. You beat me to it. I might go ahead and do it again anyway. It's one of my personal faves. But I wish you'd turn them up, and you down. When they come back into the chorus Akane has a cymbal she hits. It's sort of a cross between a China, a Splash & a Gong. I may even be enhanced with an electronic one as well. Whatever it is it just makes that transition so powerful at the end of her drum roll. Miku does have a processor on her mic that's a chorus / doubler. And she's also good and doubling Saiki, so between them it can sound as big as a house. Not to mention that Kanami has all the Backing Tracks on a computer that Akane has lock into like a Click Track. She'll have guitar doubles, keyboard synths, even drumbreaks. Sometimes they have to play without it if it gets lost with the baggage. Most of the time you don't even notice it's there unless something goes wrong. If you watch the Mistakes Video when amps break down you can hear it. You're right about one thing for sure, the writing. It's always fresh, yet some how familiar. Like some Anime Theme from your youth you'd half forgotten long ago. I don't know how they do that so successfully, every time.

This live is amazing as always, however, I must admit I do prefer the mv version a bit better. Even though the mv doesn't have the extended solos I just really enjoy the vocals in the mv.

As always, great reaction/analysis. If you ever get a copy of "Matchless Gum" live, watch/listen to it, even if you don't react to it. It's short, but oh so sweet. It's a B-side that should have been an A-side.

“Not really talkative today...”. *talks our faces off*. Lol. BAND-MAID can brighten anyone’s day.

Misa's solo and dueling runs on this remind me of the late great Chris Squire of Yes...

I know you love jrock.Please look at One ok Rock. Especially Might Long Fall live from Yokohama.Just good plain rock I saw them in Vancouver last yr and they rocked.Zlso Wagaki Band.Thank you 🤗💜

loved that battle knocked me out my chair

They just released NO GOD!!!!

It's perhaps not an explosion you hear, I seen a few live videos of them and that's actually the moment when MISA.. MISA MISA MISA! has distortion on :)

It's been so long,
