BAND-MAID - Manners/Black Hole | REACTION 

US Concerts / Tour ...13 or 15 venues, not sure...SOLD OUT...October 2022...Great reaction

Manners is their “Rock festival anthem” song, while Black Hole is Prog-Punk… a genre they’ve, perhaps, invented themselves. Of course we madiacs also like to say their genre is “Band Maid” as well. I can’t wait for the Maryland show in October!!!

1 thing you guys need to understand. Band Maid doesn't play just 1 genre, Band Maid IS a genre. They do pop, rock, hard Rock, metal, speed metal and punk. Sometimes all in the same song. Hands down one of the best bands on the planet.

So Japanese girl bands are on top of the rock genre across so many variants at the moment. For another example check out Lovebites who also , helpfully for us westerners write songs in English. Great starting point is always ‘Holy War’ or ‘Swan song’

Is there another band on the planet who can do two diametrically opposite rock songs? The maids are pure genius - pure 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏼🤘🏼 What’s next? Have you done “No God”? Warning? The Dragon Cries? (All English) Hibana? Fate? List of great songs go on and on… Rock On 🤘🏼

It's just Band Maid doing Band Maid things....again! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

'Black Hole' is from the book "The Destruction Of Classic Musical Theory" As written by Kanami.

They don't have catchy choruses or riffs??? You are definitely only 6 songs in. Just wait.

Manners is top tier Band Maid! ♥ Can't wait to see them play in October in Philly!

The two songs weren't next to each other in the set, hence the cut in between. Regarding 'Black Hole'. Its their fastest song (so far). Kanami (Lead guitar & composer) asked Akane how fast she could drum. Akane said around 190 bpm. So Kanami wrote Black Hole at 220 bpm! Then Akane went to work on the drum patterns for the song. She came up with 7 choices which she labelled 1. Easy 2. Comfortable 3. Normal 4. Possible if I work hard 5. Tough 6. Painful 7. Hell The band chose Hell. They are on US tour October. Most dates sold out. Great reaction guys.

Check out The Warning if you haven’t already.

They are touring the US in October, but almost every show has already sold out.

I thought it was funny that you thought that the first song sounded modern and that black hole sounded old school. That makes me feel old. Well I am old so that's okay. The first song is actually right out of the 1970s so it's so old it must sound new!

Her name is Tono, Kanami Tono. And she eats guitar solos for breakfast !

I think in Manners there's actually a guitar and bass solo happening at the same time lol.

U S tour this October 2022

MISA is playing lead guitar...on a bass.

Saludos, please react to more Band Maid songs, Rine Music Video, Moratirium live video, Puzzle live and acoustic, Thanks

You wants something memorable react to Different

Kanami is a great composer and guitarist

NEW MV dropping today 8/9 11am est

There are some tickets available for their October US tour at Houston, MD, and NJ. The NJ show still has VIP tickets available if you are interested in.

Are you boys from Bowling Green by any chance?

NEW MV dropped on Thanksgiving - the MV for their new instrumental FROM NOW ON. Better than ONSET. But you wouldn't know that unless you watch and listen. 🔥😎

Have no idea what they are saying but the first song is great! Man the bass is in command. Her voice is so good! Yeah the 2nd was much heavier. Love when they show their hands close up playing. 11:08-11:45ish.... Wow! Great musically!

If you want catchiness...check out domination live or play live. The audience is totally into the chorus

Fellas........I enjoy your Band-Maid reactions, I wish you would do them.....more often, just saying !!❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

"Manners" is one of the best, if not THE best pure rock songs ever produced. "Black Hole" is a genius level explosion of controlled, melodic CHAOS! Like you, when I first heard "Black Hole" I thought it was a filler tune to close out the AMAZING album Unseen World. Kinda like a "See what we can do?" mind-bender. I didn't think The Maids would actually attempt it live. It's too fast and crazy. Then I saw this video when it released and not only did they attempt it, they CRUSHED it! "Black Hole" is now one of my favorite songs. Both tunes are stunners because of COURSE they are! It's Band-Maid! Thanks guys! 🕊

BANDMAID as always the best

You all need to listen to a Japanese all female band called "Lovebites" They are best heavy metal band out there

They got you, and it will be nothing but good! welcome

BAND-MAID カタルシス Catharsis Acoustic

Hope you guys do *Band Maid - Bubble next!*

I don't hear faults, but to each their own :) Black Hole is a mind fuck for everyone the first time they hear it, man.

Next domination or freedom pls…..😎

Gentlemen, if you haven't already done these I highly recommend. The mv for Blooming is awesome. The official live video for About Us is phenomenal. Also, the live video for Don't You Tell Me is killer. Nice back and forth between Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass and the Riff Goddess Kanami. You will NOT be disappointed. Have a killer week guys.

"Black Hole" is a song that describes chaos with beautiful equations. It's like the structure of the universe.

They are touring the US in late October early November. Some concerts already sold out. I think the closest to Kentucky is Chicago. Get your tickets!

Black Hole is a song you’ll enjoy more after a few listens. The first listen is like drinking from a fire hose! 🤣. It’s an awesome and catchy song after a few listens and I think they really capture the idea of a black hole with such controlled chaos! Cheers 😎

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! "Manners" - Groove Rock MISA MISA MISA!!!!! "Black Hole" - Prog Punk

GREAT WHITE.. DESERT 🌕 MOON.. OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO 🎸🤘

It's so easy to fall into Black Hole

You hit on one a my favorite things about this band. Every song is different. I have been disappointed by too many bands that the first hearing was 'this is GREAT' and the fifth or sixth hearing turned into 'it's the same dam* song, again'. This is the only band I know today that every first listen is a completely fresh experience. As to the 'they took that one up a notch'... they have a few more notches in their belt than this, and all of them are awesome!

Thank you 502 for returning to Band-Maid. The groovy bluesy MANNERS is a bit of up to date old school Rock. Then the intense maniacal melodic controlled madness of BLACK HOLE with the Maids in total sync will astound all skeptics. Two great songs to add to the playlist. FYI - Manners was the 9th song of this streamed 2+ hour concert in May 2021 and they had the stamina and trust in each other to make Black Hole the 21st and next to last song. The Maids did 7 streamed concerts during the pandemic and will be touring the US in October 2022. See you there with the Awesome BAND-MAID. P.S. Be less stingy with the Maids. They have dozens and dozens of soul numbing rockers. Nick knows.

Great reaction.... 12:35 - 12:49 'I couldn't keep up man ..... lions and tigers and bears oh my'. This has got to be one of the funniest statements regarding BAND-MAID I've heard... 😂😂😂. But I understand the feeling, been there.

always fun watching people react to the end of Manners, and the whole of Black Hole !

Gentlemen containing yourself by not listening to Band Maid is admirable for your reactions but farkin crazy for your musical pleasure zones, you guys stay BM chaste and I'll continue to overly indulge 😄👍 Viva the Maids peace and love Po 🤗🎼🎸🎤🥁🍻

Band Maid has just released the a video from their Christmas Acoustic Concert. Sayanakidori (Nightengale) with Miku on Lead Vocals and Acoustic Guitar, Akane on Drums/Percussion and Backing Vocal, and MISA on Bass. It is available for a limited time, so please give it a listen.

I enjoyed watching your reaction in Japan.. Please listen to the song of (Blooming) another Masterpiece

LOVED the first song.

MISA is taking out her bass to walk with Manners or jogging in Black Hole!

You want catchy? Check out the music video for 'Bubble'. Just typing out the name of the song put the main hook in my head. Might be BAND-MAID's most catchy, earworm song ever. It is for me, anyway. Live your best life by listening to more BAND-MAID.

Great reaction guys. Always enjoy your band-maid reactions, they are some of the best ones. All you guys have your own style and react differently throughout the songs. Miku was completely underrated in terms of what she adds to these songs even in her backup vocalist / rhythm guitarist role. She adds this energy and has excellent timing with Saiki when they rip off each other and also sing together. And just like all of the maids she has her own individual stage presence that I feel like is almost infectious, like she goes harder than anybody in the band and I guess that makes sense right since she basically runs the show with the band. Akanes drumming in both manners and black hole is outstanding, Manners is legit one of my favorite Band Maid songs along with Onset. I really appreciate that you gentlemen always do the live versions the same way I do my Band Maid Reactions. Keep on getting after it my friends!

Seeing them in October! Can't wait! Great reaction!😊😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

TESLA... MODERN DAY COWBOY.(OFFICIAL VIDEO).

You guys should petition Churchill Downs to host a concert. (Miku is a huge fan of keiba, and is, or at least was, part owner of a racehorse.)

Drummer and bassist are truly badass! Cheers from Italy.

-What genre is band-maid? -yes..

Black Hole is such an amazing complement to that OTHER Black Hole song from Rush "Cygnus X-1". I can imagine These Ladies spinning and whirling along with Geddy into the abyss! These Girls ROCK!!!

"Manners" ...good ole Rockin' Groove right there. "Black Hole" is a tune Kanami wrote to challenged them to the next level, and they ALL killed it. Check out the music video of "Manners", it's a Masterpiece.

I can’t wait for Philly and Houston. Debating about seeing them more but flights are expensive.

Why wasn't i here for my fave band VFT502? Tell me, tell me.🤷‍♂️

Song "Freedom" February 14, 2020 for a cool drum solo followed by a magnificent transition to a Kanami guitar solo. Catchy and fun declaration of personal freedom.

HI guys love your reactions to the best Rock band on the planet right now. You only scratched the surface of Bandmaid songs. Try Dont you tell me live wow You should also listen to order, alone, before yesterday, daydreaming I could go on and on. Look for yurself there's a lot to pick off. Good luck you will love them all :)

Been listening to older BM all day and saw you guys were doing this one. Couldn't wait to see your reaction and you did not disappoint. As a fan that has been with them for a while now it is great to see newer fans when they feel the true power of this band. It's true that you can just pick any song, old or new and it will blow your mind and leave you wanting more...and more... and...

Cool reaction, immediate like!

Amazing

MORE BAND MAID!!!!

Most of their shows in the US already sold-out in october 2022

New Nemophila single called Adabana just released today and it’s fire! Hope you will check it out.

Akane is such a good live drummer, yes good anywhere, but live she is just so damn steady. I've seen people mention a click track in her ear (personally I think it's just her), but she still has to play it and is just incredible at it.

Closest venue they are going in the US is House of Blues in Chicago on Nov 1. Looks like a 5-hour drive from Louisville.

Thanks guys!

Nice!! A recommendation for later guys...A double reaction with their 'Secret My Lips' and also 'Secret Maiko Lips'...the enhanced audio/visual treat from the second-best band around: BAND-MAIKO 👍🤟🤟

Yea, not impressed with the mix on this online gig they did. I understand it was a quicky for all the audience that lost out when covid shut down their World Domination tour. I just think they really come alive when in front of a crowd. But, any Band Maid is good Band Maid.

I love Misa and her bass playing. She makes me wish I was playing bass on stage again like I did in the 80s. These are two great songs.

It's kind of sad watching the COVID Era online concerts with no audience, not that any BAND-MAID isn't joyous. Check out the OMV for 'Manners'. Kanami rarely sings, but she does sing. She leads a chant in one song and she does Miku's part in the acoustic version of 'Puzzle'. But if you liked 'Black Hole' check out 'Different'. It's similar. Or 'Rinne', it's like Thrash.

You want a memorable riff? Here's my pick: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rF3RbQEowuM.html

Hard rock and creativity at it's finest!

Band-Maid will be touring in the US this September-October. Yall may try to get some tickets to see them, but many dates are sold out.

WARNING! (maybe your next song?) It's bad MANNERS to stop listening to Band-Maid because you'll feel starved for musical excellence and joy and fall into a BLACK HOLE of emptiness... probably! 😵 Thx, Guys!

It would indeed be neat if they did some transitions from one song to another, since as "BLACK HOLE" shows, they're already expert at brilliant transitions within a song. The Cars seamlessly connected all the songs on Side 2 of their first album and it was cool AF.

Two of their best songs ever

While this is a solid performance of Manners it doesn't compare to live. I saw them this past Friday in NYC and my god was it amazing. Manners live was just incredible, the crowd was jump and singing along, it was just something else. Without an audience you just don't have the same energy and these women love to play live and bounce off the audience so well. It was smiles all around, on stage and in the crowd.

I suggest chemical reaction next...

Nick has the best stank face ever. There was no audience at this streamed concert and as I said before MANNERS was the 9th song and BLACK HOLE was the 21st and Next To Last song. In fact the last song was FREEDOM and everyone came off the stage (except Akane of course) and was roaming around and mingling with the camera crew and sound and stage people while playing. What a fun band!!! Nick did I hear you say Band-Maid is not really catchy? For me they are the most catchy Hard Rock band ever to exist. For sure you need to get crackin' on their awesome 120+ song catalog to get that notion out of your mind. Every 4 months won't cut it. You'll never get your playlist stronger at that rate. Anyway, we'll be waiting for the quick turnaround with the Awesome BAND-MAID. Peace. 20.4

Thanks for the awesome reaction. There's only one thing that I disagree with you guys...is all their songs are so catchy and memorable and keep ringing in my brain all day long. As soon as intro starts I'd be humming along the entire song even if the song isn't my favorite. Lol 🤣

They play in Chicago on Nov. 1. Tickets at Live Nation.

Tbh i dont thing anybody would mind if yall dug into their catalog on your own. Its so deep that you probably wont get to everything just doing reactions unless yall start doing album/ep/singles reactions lol

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.

It's hard to recommend songs this early! the list is soooo very long Live songs: Domination Play Freedom No God Real Existance Music videos: Blooming Choose Me Warning After Life Rinne Secret my lips / Secret MAIKO lips (you kinda have to do both versions, you'll see...) Alone Non Fiction Days Don't let me down (read the lyrics first, they're all in English, you will be... entertained.)

Black Hole is a laid back mellow ballad. I love it, but Manners is even better. Band-Maid has no limits❤.

Superb reaction again guys. One has no expression other than exquisite awe when exposed to Band-Maid, love the fact that these were released together for the impact of the contrast.... I heard even Sagittarius-A receded when first came to know the power and the attraction of Band-Maid's Black Hole, all in the best possible Manners of course 🤘

" She looks different " ? ? ? they haven't changed their looks or costumes in 10 years .... what have you been smoking ?

They are touring the US later this year -- and many of the venues are already sold out. Personally I think Black Hole is the greater work -- but Manners rates very highly. Black Hole is perfectly planned chaos -- a compositional masterpiece. You need to listen to it many times to drink in all its brilliant chaos.

It's late... It's okay. You all think it's a joke. No. It's not, and so it can become "painful". Okay. Band Maid do their best to make this what they do at times... They don't retreat. Not even if they say they are serving their community. I'll tell you... :DDD

How are they NOT more popular? No shit, dude. Have you guys done FREEDOM, LIVE? ONLY SIX SONGS??? are you not doing these anymore? There are 30+ hard driven, for the most part, some ballads (get tissues ready), THEY SMASH ANY TYPE of song they want.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 AH AH AH Ah Ah Ah ah.....

Hi Guys why did you stop with Band-Maid reactions (Loved your reactions) You just scratched the surface, and then suddenly stopped, Which is weird since you guys obviously loved them. There are so many new stuff with them, their USA tour and a new ep, with a new instrumental better than Onset. It's called From Now On. Not to mention their new EP Unleashed, with lots of new songs.

You need to react to October Ends - Play Time. There's like 30 reactions to it already 😂
