Check out their live stuff? Oh, yes!!! You won't regret it. In fact, you will thank us Maidiacs for recommending you to do so😉 Domination (live) or Freedom (live) next please!
I see you're going back and forth with old and new Band-Maid. Sweet. Band-Maid may be a hard rock band but they put a fair bit of punk in many songs. "Choose Me" and "Alone" are more pop punk. "Warning" is hard-ass punk. "Different" and "Black Hole" are what we call prog-punk. They certainly deliver a fair bit of variety so you'll never get bored, but you'll always have a new favorite.
NanI!!!!!? The sound is unique to Band-Maid. Each member loves to play the music they play because they all help in it's creation. Kanami Tono composes the guitar riffs, general melody, the rhythm guitar progressions and basic drum patterns. Miku Kobato writes the lyrics normally a mix of English and Japanese. Then Akane Hirose the drummer explains to a bemused Kanami that in order to play what she wants Akane would need three arms. Akane then presents what she might be able to do at a push (which is normally inhumanly complex and yet simplistic). Kanami nudges MISA and asks her to fill in the gap between Akane's insane drum patterns, and her own riffing, shredding and tapping. MISA goes away with the bare bones of the track and comes back with a bass line that most guitarists would have issues with (I defy you to play Onset without dropping the pick). All the members work out if the song is good enough to go any further and if it's not it gets erased. That's right erased totally it will never ever be heard outside of the the band. Only when they are all 100% happy with the music will it go to the pre production phase.
Alright Nani Bros. Enthusiasm ensues. The pigeon hole awaits. And Maidiac induction follows listening to DOMINATION-LIVE (the quintessential Live Band-Maid), ONSET-LIVE (instrumental-the way Rock was meant to be played), FREEDOM-LIVE (more Fun than should be allowed in concert including a kickass drum solo). To list a couple of MV's: Warning, Dice, Blooming, Rinne. Dozens more great songs await (They have a 110+ song catalog). You will eventually have a separate Band-Maid playlist. No doubt. A lot of Maidiacs do not do Patreon so we will be waiting patiently for your reaction uploads to YT. Thanks for continuing with The Best Rock Band anywhere. Don't forget: BAND-MAID is Awesome and Fun. Peace.
Love this song. Love this band. Clean, Clear Mix to enjoy everyone. For live I would recommend Domination, Freedom (great drum solo) and Play. Thank you for reacting to this video.
Here is the Band Maid story...they are the best band in the world today and one of the best you will ever hear...end of story. 😁 The true measure of a band is how they sound live, try "Real Existence" and have your mind blown. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Kanami is the undisputed queen of tapping. You should check out Blooming the official live music video or Onset, an instrumental, for more epic tappingness !!
It’s called “the gap” - that’s Miku’s concept for the band - the gap in expectations between gals in maid costumes versus the hard rock music. Any song , they’re all great but some good ones: - Domination - live - Real Existence - live - Play - live - Onset - live - Dice - Different - Daydreaming
Your enjoyment of the song is infectious. I have heard "YOLO" many times and watching you 2 react to it was fun! If you like Pop Punk, try the official MV for "Dice". Kicks off with the drums and bass. 🤘😎🤘
There are so many great songs from Band-Maid, but you need to watch them live. Domination, Freedom, No God, Onset, Play, Manners, Warning, etc, etc, etc.
They've progressed through different gear over the years; this MV is kind of mid-period. Currently Kanami (lead gtr) plays PRS Custom 24 guitars through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, Misa plays Black Cloud custom basses through Orange amps, Miku plays Zemaitis guitars (they made their first signature model, the Flappy Pigeon, for her - look up a pic, it's beautiful) through an EVH 5150-III amp, Akane plays a custom Tama Star Bubinga kit, and Saiki sings (live) through a DPA d:facto mic. Since you mentioned shoes...completely unimportant, of course, but Band-Maid lore is its own pigeonhole: These days Misa famously always plays barefoot, Saiki wears stilettos, Miku wears platform high-heeled Mary Janes (unless she's sprained an ankle jumping around in them), Kanami wears sensible mom-shoes, and Akane pounds her double bass pedals with unlaced low-top sneakers.
You should check out some more of the older Band-Maid songs like Freezer, Shake That , or maybe Arcadia Girl? The "P in D" YT channel has some great photo collages of these and more .
Thanks for reacting to the best band in hard rock today. Band-Maid are not a one trick pony as they touch every genre from jazz, metal, rock, punk, hip-hop, pop, classic. Kanami is an amazing composer for sure. Kanami is a fan of Carlos Santana and Eddie Van Halen. She has her own twist of what Carlos and Eddie did, and has made it her own style different from any other guitar player. When Kanami plays solo there is no doubt that it is her, she has her signature style for sure. Go to their YT channel and look at the MVs, also have a look on their playlists on YT, a lot of their recent released are found there. Band-Maid are an EPIC band, greetings from Norway.
If anyone's thinking Band-Maid is just now coming into their own from all their recent drops, please remember: Early Band-Maid songs from years past are just as hot and fresh as the new, current releases! So the songs you haven't heard yet from their 118 song catalog sound in essence, brand new. Thanks Guys, for your continued support for our rockin' Maids!
Jimmy Page caught one of their shows, and requested a meet and greet with Akan Hirose after the show. He told her that she reminded him of John Bonham. The photo of the meet and greet is on the web.
He did meet her but the "John Bonham" part has yet to be confirmed by Akane or Mr Page. He was definitely impressed by her though. Akane thought it was a joke to start off with when she was told by the staff that Jimmy Page would like to meet her.
So many great live performances to choose from! From the World Domination Tour 2020 start with any of these 3- Domination, Freedom or Play. From Zepp Tokyo 2018- Real Existense or Onset (an instrumental). I don't think you can fully appreciate them until you hear and see them live. They know how to encourage audience participation while having fun themselves. Saiki, rhymes with Mikey, is a great frontwoman with a powerhouse voice. Your reactions are fun to watch. I subscribed. Greetings from Canada
Totally forgot how good Yolo is. That should tell you how good these girls are. Epic songs can be forgotten. Your favorite Band-Maid song will always be the last one you just heard. Corallium is mine! Holy $h!t it's good!
Oh yea..I recommend this for your first live video..its called" real existence" official live video..This is where you can see these girls go crazy on stage.. 🔥🔥🔥
MISA MISA MISA! this was my Go To song for MISA(Bass) till the "Unseen World" Album. Definitely Live you probably have most requests for "Domination" I concur it shows of the Whole Band in a GOOD not Show off way
first.. didn't know carlos delfino's brother was making videos reaction in youtube.. glad for you thomas xD (in case you don't know him delfino played in the pistons and the raptors) second and more important.. if you like punk rock listen to "alone".. it was the first track they released written completely by the maids.. i would say it's their punkiest song and it's amazing
Good choice. But you HAVE to watch something of them live. I suggest your first one should be "Real Existence" official live video. Gives you a real feel for how they work the crowd.
If you like that kind of 'melodic' pop-punk style, check out "The Non-Fiction Days", "Before Yesterday", "Don't Let Me Down", and yeah check out their live stuff. Check out all their stuff :P
Let`s not sell B-M old record company short, they did invested in the ladies and produce an excellent CD "New Beginning" which had the songs Thrill, Don`t Let Me Down and their go to song Real Existence - every song is GOOD. The old record company made the mistake of 100% control. Thrill place B-M on the international market but they NEVER consider breaking up.
Great job guys. This is my favorite BM song but reactors seem to steer clear of it. As far as future songs, particularly live MV's, LISTEN TO THE MAIDIACS! We know our Maids.
Yea check out there live stuff like Domination ( Live ) Play (live ) And There's A Double Song Live video (Manners Is The First Song then its a Song Called ( Black Hole) After..Those are lit song🔥🔥
