Turn Me On is one of their most straightforward hard rock songs. Like you said is a bit of Black Sabbath and Metallica but with the "magic touch" that only Band-Maid has. If i'm not mistaken they had the support of Kentaro Akutsu (composer of Thrill) on the writing of this song, which will kinda explain the super cool and tasty old school hard rock sound
Saw them live last year with every intention of closely watching MISA and Kanami then Saiki came out and I couldn't take my eyes off her, thank goodness someone posted the show so I could look back at what I missed. Will see them this Sunday in Minneapolis and try my hardest to resist getting fixated on the lead singer.
Anyone who likes Band-Maid, or is a fan of Band-Maid, or is a certified Maidiac, owes it to themselves to experience IN FULL, both 2017 Shinkiba Studio Coast AND 2018 ZEPP concerts. None are better -- even counting the awesome 2021 Shibuya concert -- for sound, atmosphere, performance and song list. Thx, Wave, for bringing us this cut from the 2018 ZEPP concert!
As amazing as those shows are, I honestly think LCS has been their finest performance captured on film despite the so-so mix, The crowd and band interactions were really off the charts. Saiki had that entire crowd wrapped around her little finger.
@@billb.5183 I love the 2021 Shibuya concert. But as a musician, the mix and sound is a key factor for my enjoyment, along with performance, setlist, and audience / ambience, etc. So just on that basis, I'd have to pick the 2017 Studio Coast and 2018 Zepp concerts as my fave. Case in point: compare the Studio Coast version of Puzzle with the recent release of the Tokyo Garden version. Thx, billb!
@@billb.5183 It's true for the mix or for the interaction with the audience, or the vocal performance of Saiki and his stage presence, the intros, the lights shows but I also think for the quality of Miku's guitar level. In fact, each concert is different and everyone will have their preference. My only regret, as a foodie never satisfied with Band Maid dishes, is not having the Shinkiba and Zepp lives on DVD or Blu-Ray in my collection.😋
I could draw details out of each one of those shows that are standouts. All in all thank goodness for prime so I can watch them all in full how ever many times I want. 😁
Loved it!! Only 3 more days until the Chicago Maidathon🔥🔥🔥🔥2 shows in 12 hours and there are still tickets left for the late night Thursday night ahow at Park West which is a really good venue.
Live rendition of "Turn Me On" is of course taken from the Start Over Blu-Ray of Band-Maid's performance at Zepp Tokyo which took place on April 13, 2018 during the World Domination tour.✌️❤️🤘
every now and then Mincho has to show what she can do. so use to her tapping and then you pointed out that she was picking. i had to watch that part about 3 times, god she can play
Turn me On became one of their popular songs on Spotify when it appeared on a list of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The same thing is currently happening with Hate?.
"Turn Me On" is still one of my faves - this live performance slays me every time. Such a rocker! (And Saiki's "I'm'a not'a like you" drives the knife in deeper)
@@GaryHolloway-810 I thought of you when I requested it ! If I had requested " DON'T YOU TURN ME ON " maybe we would have heard the ultimate Holloway Two-fer ! 😁
Cool. After you see them, you should do some breakdowns from a composition perspective with thoughts on how their composition process contributes to the intricate arrangements and interplay between the parts. I bet I'm not the only one who would be interested. (It would be a lot of work, though, so.....)
They seem to have confidence now. I'd say cockiness if they were a little more egotistical, but they don't have to brag because they know they're good.
To me their live audio is the version I listen to almost everyday. Even though I have their CDs I hardly ever play them. If they ever going to release live album I'll definitely buy them.
BandMaid, Lovebites, YOYOKA ( and other awesome, mostly Japanese and Asian female musicians) have ruined music for me! Everything else sounds like crap now!
It all started with "Audery" > Yoyoka in my case. And has ended with the Maids. There are still good things here, but they, like Band-Maid, are not sold out.
@@kerrylewis7964 Exactly! It's partly a function of time for me. But basically, I don't listen to anything else, not because there isn't "anything" good, but I just find all I want in this small subset of music. No need to look any further! Have a great day!
