It was pretty clear that Ron was impressed and I think this song was a good choice for him to be introduced to LOVEBITES. Keep these reactions with industry people coming, as not only are they enjoyable to watch, it helps get the word out about these amazing bands that are not as well known as they should be.
@@hardknox1917 You like a different style of metal, which is fine, but you don't have to call power-metal "ghey". Power-metal kicks ass. Especially Lovebites! ☺
The music video for this song was released after the official announcement that the band's founder and leader, Miho (bass), had left the band and that LOVEBITES was going on hiatus. The video marked their footsteps from their first stage to the 2021 concert, and also contained a strong message that "we will be back". I think it was deeply moving for them and the audience to perform this song on the stage where they stood for the first time in two years, with the new member FAMI in tow.
LOVEBITES - Nameless Warrior [live] lyrics: This is it, Living under the destiny to fight My doubts layin' silent in past Arm myself, I am ready to take the step into enemies Will you give it up? What do you feel under the darkness? I search for light that I have never seen, Stare inside, I know it's somewhere Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight This is the beginning They will not see me surrender Bringing back memories I'll never let it go Now is the time we'll never forget Nameless warrior Hide the light that I found in my path I call it ''faith'' for now That is all left for me Shivering, too afraid of the night but I believe myself This is up to me [!] The truth and lies are in the mirror I search for light that I have never seen Stare inside, I know it's somewhere Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight This is the beginning They will not see me surrender Take my hand, I'll be there and never let it go Now is the time we'll never forget Nameless warrior No time for looking in past now Fears vanishing into the sky... SOLOs: Broken piece of a soul Never heal in the rain And will there be end to this? Flaming up inside of me Giving me insanity The memories fading in my head and now I'm fallin' SOLO: both What do you feel under the darkness? I search for light that I have never seen Stare inside, I know it's somewhere Taking step the way I believe Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight This is the beginning They will not see me surrender Bringing back memories I'll never let it go Now is the time we'll never forget Nameless warrior ----- lyrics: asami music: asami, midori, miyako, haruna & Mao album: In The Beginning 2017 - 2021
Great reaction ! Could tell Ron was visibly impressed. This is just a personal opinion, with Ron's background and the bands he had played with, I believe he'll be even more impressed with "Liar" LIVE because of the heavy rock layering to that track.
Here you are, trolling my subscriptions again. Voice isn’t any better…. Although, I think she went 5 seconds without excessive vibrato, and it was OK! Actually a few times - if only she’d stop altogether, this could work! Bye fangirl! 🥰
@@northof4912 Haha ! So you're stalking me now ? Geez, for someone who claims that Lovebites fans are nothing more than just old men who fawns over young girls, you're more than creepy.
@@boyzyu No dude! Apparently you’re also a narcasist, thinking that my only existence on RU-vid is related to you! I was looking through this reactor channel and thought I’d try another Lovebites song I had not heard, which was a fairly new reaction. And guess who is already there! Mr Fangirl! The reality is, I cannot watch Lovebites anywhere without seeing your suck-holing comments already posted. I think my creepy obsessive older male observation is totally in play here!!
@@northof4912 Haha ! Well, your actions speak for themselves. You went out of your way to find me and comment on another reaction video from another channel that's 4 days old. Look, you are what you are, especially after claiming an entire music community as nothing more than just old men fawning over young girls. It's futile for you to deny what you are, and one of the things you are is definitely creepy.
Kudos to Ron for recognizing Haruna's "stamina & chops, unbelievable!" right off the bat! She is a wizard with her combo of tastefully appropriate dbl-kick precision & melodic cymbal use. On this song Asami equally showing her low-register ability along with "way up in the Stratosphere. Quite a range." I love this deeply emotional song from them. Very enjoyable to have LOVEBITES 'exposed' to a drummer of Ron's experience. The harmony-guitars being a 'trademark' of LOVEBITES music is an immediately impressive feature demanding hours upon hours of practice together, while seeing the joy they have in performing them. Not directly familiar with Ron's work, but I did see DLRB first tour with Greg Bissonette on drums, Matt's brother, with Vai & Sheehan, guitar & bass. Phenomenal show! convincing me that Ron's gotta be quite a stellar drummer to have met the needs of such a variety of performers. I concur with boyzyu's suggestion of "Liar" LIVE 2023: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWHPfnJz2qk.html though it seems we only get one LOVEBITES reaction with each featured guest, I would enjoy seeing more with Ron Wikso.
A drummer with such tremendous experience - I had hoped that he would like the technology and the power of the "small, big engine" - rumors say her name is Haruna - and the hope was not misplaced!
I grew up with Allman Brothers and Derek and the Dominoes, and have often compared M&M to those pairings, so it's great to hear a top tier professional musician make the same analogy. And thanks for the recognition for Haruna! She truly seems inexhaustible, and I think she's the true heart of the band. Great reaction.
Yes, Haruna lays out the _frame_ for each song to succeed. Unimaginable, if she would not be on the beat reliably, especially in any rough song. Or if she would not support sensitive parts with sensitive drumming. To me, Haruna therefore is my personal heroine. She is an amazing drummer, and a kind, positive and approachable lady.
The “Superfecta” of Progressive Hard Rock, Hard Rock Trio, Progressive Groove Metal, and Power Metal: Band-Maid, The Warning, Jinjer, and Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘 Thx, Joel & Ron!
i miss the money man so much. his songs get played here a lot as he had a slew of top hits. one song by him - my favorite - is 'looking through the eyes of a child - and never got ANY radio airplay. it should have been another smash song for him and is unknown by most people. LOVEBITES is now the top band for this 70 year old - can't get enough of them
I hope word of mouth spreads throughout the American music scene. You're really introducing some great bands to guys that know what they're seeing. One thing I would recommend is maybe talking more after each song. Prep some questions or something so you have an actual conversation.
So we are setting scores on the ladies legs now? Actually this is my five euro. * Miyako is in a league of her own, best legs without competition. She do not like to show them though. * Midori has the most impressive pair. She do not miss leg day. * The girl Fami is more than 10 years younger than the older ladies. So, easy then to take third place :) But, now this is trivia only. Their real talent is music.
Great choice for a drummer to hear....sadly my volume on my computer just doesn't go high enough for me on this track!! 🙂 Like where you're going here with the Japanese bands that we all love and that so many Americans are unaware of!! I do believe that he will like Bandmaid quite a lot!! Appreciate you supporting these bands, Joel!🤘
Joel, I know you had done an Aldious song already. Aldious are the first commercially successful All Female Metal band in Japan since Show Ya from the 1980s. They began in 2008. A meal 25 year dry spell for Female bands. O hope you would check out Aldious Spirit Black official music video. This is the song that kicked off the whole wave of modern Female Metal bands. Without Aldious there would be no Band Maid, no Lovebites, no Doll$Boxx, ot any others. Even highly likely that there would have been no BabyMetal either.
This song is a more "Radio Friendly" song that just moves along. Not that blinding speed, even if Haruna seems to have missed that fact :) She is a beast in this song. But - it is a good song that shows of the ladies abilities in a good way. No face melting, but not many musicians in the world that can match. Usually when you want to have this epic, more symphonic metal sound that fills the arena with a wall of sound, then you have backing tracks with symphonic orchestras and what not. But, the two guitarists in Lovebites can harmonize and just create that all by themselves. And it just looks easy. Which it probably is for them. The synchronization is amazing.
Haruna Our Harupi is the best. Ron Wikso is a sympathetic person. Ron doesn't need to say any more. We say his face during the song, that says it all.🧐
Thank you for the nice reaction Metallica・ Slipknot・ Megadeth・IRON MAIDEN・ Judas Priest・ Slayer・ Ozzy Osbourne・Black Sabbath・Yngwie J.Malmsteen's Rising Force ・Haiestom・ DragonForce・blah-blah-blah Inheriting the power of our great predecessors That's LOVE BITES(So Do I) May the Force be with us..🔥🤘
@@1970Phoenix He seems reasonably open minded. I have seen some reactors admit they don't like growling but with the way Hanabie do it with Matsuri singing also, they can't look away. LOL
This is my favorite band. But you should react to one that doesn't get as much notice in the United States and listen to their song the band is Trident the song is cry out this is my favorite song of there's
