Band-Maid: Without Holding Back (REACTION!) 

Yes, Kanami was a fan of Eddie Van Halen. She put out this statement when he died: Eddie Van Halen-sama… I got to know about tapping from your Eruption, and I have been writing instrumental songs hoping that one day I could create phrases like yours that pierce our hearts… You were a guitar hero I admire. May you rest in peace.

Practice makes perfect. These ladies have been together 13 years sharpening their craft.

Whatever song BAND-MAID are playing whether instrumental or vocals there's one thing for sure, you can never have enough COWWWW BELLLL :)

the Maids sizzled for sure in Houston last night.... if you get a chance to see them live .. GO GO GO ... about to drive to Austin for tonights show... have a great day ....

Awesome!! No more words needed for these maids.. Thank you for great reaction!

I want to thank you for this live performance video of "Without Holding Back". I hadn't seen it before. Up until today I had only seen and heard their studio recordings of "Without Holding Back". They also have a "White Room" studio video for this song on their "Unseen World" Blu Ray/DVD. Band-Maid is an amazing group of musicians. And BTW, their vocalists are pretty good, too! Actually, the EVH 5150 is Rhythm Guitarist, Miku Kobato's amp. Lead Guitar Kanami Tono uses a Mesa Boogie amplifier. Kamami taught Miku guitar from "Never played before" beginner to the accomplished player she is today and has guided Miku in her choice of gear. Miku and Kanami both shred! I hear that Kanami writes some of their instrumentals to push her band mates to new skill levels. Kanami Tono considers herself to be a music teacher. She will publish companion musical scores along with each album release so musicians can learn Band-Maid Songs! The "special releases" of their albums often include 'break-down' multitrack videos of them playing songs in a White Room with five versions. You can watch the whole band or you can watch the individual musicians perform each part. You'll see how Misa palms her pick while slapping. You'll see Kanami's fingering technique. You'll see Akane's kick drum skills but it will take years of intense practice to duplicate! Akane Hirose has received compliments from Jimmy Page. If you can't tell, I'm a huge Band-Maid fan.

The bass player, Misa, discovered early on that she could palm the pick very quickly while playing. So now she can go between picking and slapping that bass without skipping a beat (literally)

This by far my favourite instrumental from them...!

I didn't know there was a LIVE version. Thanks!

This song is a banger, the bridge wrecks me every time, so tasteful ... We can barely hear Akane in this version. Blooming is the perfect song.

Band-Maid best hard rock band and Lovebites best heavy metal band

Yes!!!

🤯 first time hearing this band. That was tight! All of them are sick musicians.

Kanami uses Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier with her PRS. Miku uses EVH 5150 amps with her Zemaitis guitars. Kanami's guitar hero is Santana.

Mikuの上達ぶりが今更ながら伺える動画になっています。 Miku個人の見せ所聴かせ所は当然として実はリズムギタリストとしてはドラムとベースにユニゾンとなっているパートが結構あったりするのだが Mikuは持ち前のリズム感の良さを発揮してバンド全体のグルーヴ感を出す為の仕事をキッチリとこなしている。本当に成長してるんだなぁと🥹潤る潤るしてしまいます。

Great!!!

This is a great version. I like the MV but this was very solid, no holds barred version. This instrumental was written by the lead guitarist as a study piece for the rhythm guitarist to practise different skills. But every musician got a chance to shine!

ジョンボーナ厶…?! そらジミーペイジがアカネに会いにわざわざ楽屋訪れるよね!

👍👍👍👍👍

Can anyone tell me if this is off of one of their DVD's. I'm looking to buy one of their live concert DVD's (NOT Bluray) and would like to know what the best one is.

us tour

This seems sped up, ever so slightly. Like 1.15?

Not enough talking during the song. I want to see more reaction, not just sitting around.

Glad to see both of you joining forces for a Band-Maid review! So you’ve done two of their rock instrumentals, DICE, Warning, Domination…you’ve seen they can play, you’ve heard the thunder and seen the lightning…now it’s time to see how deep their creative well is… My respectful recommendation for your next reaction is the song they wrote specifically as a love letter to their fans they were missing due to the lockdowns. “About Us” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qicgVAxCYV8.html Feb 11 Okyu-ji Saiki sings “Cries” and everyone pretty much does

Oh if yall like the funk you def also need to check out Gacharic Spin -- Kach Kachi Yama, the bass player F Chopper Koga is one of my fav bass players alongside MISA.

Funny you should mention John Bonham. Jimmy Page caught one of the Miads' shows a while back and insisted on meeting Akane (the drummer) after the show. He told her that she was the reincarnation of John Bonham. There's a picture of them together that's easily Googled.

i think, EVH is amping the mighty Zemaitis (da riddim gittar), Kanami is driving a Mesa boogieee for those tippy-tappies :)

Well Gentlemen you blew my mind, first off I had no idea there was a live version of this floating around somewhere in the Wild. (Gonna have to go back and watch the old streaming concerts. Hope its not the December 2020 stream as its the only one I do not have) Secondly it's the first time I've ever heard Kanami in my left headphone that I can recall. She is usually in the right headphone with Miku in the left. Would you be able to post the link to the original video if possible?

You have two Maid's add one Herman Li and what do you get?.
