"Metal is music for men, and they have to wear leather jackets and jeans and sing decadent lyrics with a snarl." LOVEBITES breaks down the barriers created by these stereotypes of heavy metal.
The foundation for “Break The Wall” was composed by former bassist Miho, while Miyako than added ‘color’ to the composition. Miyako composed the solo in the middle with Gary Moore in mind.
My favourite LOVEBITES thrash metal song, and in my opinion, one of the best thrash songs ever written. That Gary Moore inspired solo by Miyako is something special.
Lovebites just give that 'something new, something different' yet very comfy familiar feeling. It's like they've figured out the perfect blend of classic metal with thrash and some neoclassical power metal to boot. It sounds like music I heard growing up in the 80s, yet with a modern sound. Next up: "Judgement Day" with new bassist FAMI. and some classic "Set the World on Fire"
Up until Lovebites, my favorite thrash song has been "Class Dismissed" by Exodus. That was until I heard this performance the first time. This is pure thrash with a twist which is solo run. The way Midori after pure thrashing it slows it down with the ladder climb into the bass lead into Miyako's soulful solo is something just not matched in the world of thrash to me. Loved the reaction.
LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics: (DIE) No sign of my time Cause I wish to live another life (BY) Who will save my poor soul? Crying alone in a dim hole (MY) Can't believe it's real Cause in the end, everything is gone (SIDE) How should I live from now? Find myself staring at the walls Tonight, I'll break the wall It's now or never Now, I'm on my own I've gotta get free Bite, I'll break the chain Run to my shelter Make it out alive I have to break through the wall (DIE) No sign of my crime Got my scars during wartime (BY) Who's the one that did it Deadly venom eating me inside (MY) Spent my life in vain I can't forget everything I've done (SIDE) I swear to my hatred Find myself staring at the walls Tonight, I'll break the wall It's now or never Now, I'm on my own I've gotta get free Bite, I'll break the chain Run to my shelter Make it out alive I have to break through the wall SOLO: midori / miyako (DIE) No sign of my time Cause I wish to live another life (BY) Who will save my poor soul? Crying alone in a dim hole (MY) Can't believe it's real Cause in the end, everything is gone (SIDE) How should I live from now? Find myself staring at the walls Tonight, I'll break the wall It's now or never Now, I'm on my own I've gotta get free Bite, I'll break the chain Run to my shelter Make it out alive I have to break through the- I have to break through the- I have to break through the wall ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Battle Against Damnation EP 06/06/2018
The number of metal heads that have listen to this band and just don't get it is sad. Its always something ie; " there not heavy enough, the singer doesn't scream, they wear dresses, ect.....You Sir get it and thats a compliment to you !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘
I appreciate that. Also, I appreciate these ladies! They're doing something amazing and should be more recognized for that. Gender doesn't matter to me. If they can shred. I'm in love. Haha. Thank you for watching! 🤘🔥🔥
I was a fan of the earliest great guitar shredders, going all the way back to Clapton and Allman. I've never heard a pair of guitar solos in one song better than this. Thanks for continuing the journey.
each one of their songs has a completely different feel. a lot are 'heart attack' mode and many are 'heart wrenching' and a lot are 'heart melting' so as you say - keep that defibrillator handy. another heart attack song is the live of 'set the world on fire'. another masterpiece and this time you've been warned !
I feel for you man. I love watching reactors watching these songs for the first time. It's exactly how we all felt too. So many great songs to come. And you still won't believe what you see & hear for most of them.
In the composition of this song, you get the vibe of Slayer and Testament.. but when you look at the flow of the song, when you think about it, it's the reverse of Master of Puppets. Keep in mind that Puppets was basically verse-bridge-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus, then slower bass-centric mid section, slower melodic solo, faster mid-section, faster solo, verse-bridge-chorus. Break the Wall is the reverse. Faster solo first, then bass-centric mid section, slower melodic solo, faster mid-section, then back to verse-chorus. That is intentional, as they want to give you that vibe of feeling those classic metal influences while hearing something completely new.
"Absolutely effin perfect." Yep, Not a bad description as a starting point for Lovebites. Pretty Princesses, destroying the typical male stereotype genre of metal, with their talent, demeanour and beauty.
I've now watched all your great reactions to Lovebites , and believe me you've hardly scratched the surface YET 🤣 . They are insanely talented ( obviously ) and their songs always have a message . You've hardly scratched the surface with Lovebites - but you haven't even begun to explore the Japanese Metal and Rock scene yet which is BY FAR the best in the world at the moment - there are SO MANY superb bands and I'll mention a few below which are definitely worth a look ( the list is not by any means complete and some may not agree - but it might give you a start ) - NEMOPHILA - " Oiran " , " Zen " and " Change the World " - I'd recommend the recently released live versions from the same concert BAND MAID - basically anything GACHARIC SPIN - " Mindset " ( music video ) or anything live ( they're crazy ! ) NINGEN ISU - anything BABYMETAL - anything live MAXIMUM the HORMONE - anything TBH - the list could be endless but this is a start 🤣 ENJOY !
It's funny you say that. I just did a couple more reactions to them and said multiple times, "I haven't even scratched the surface yet." so funny! I appreciate you watching! 🫡

This song is a monster. In my personal "best heavy metal" list Break the Wall proudly stand alongside Heaven and Hell, The Sentinel and The Number of the Beast.
LOVEBITES will come to US live at ProRock Festival in September 2024.... React to their live 2023 with new songs Judgement Day,(Live/MV), Stand And Deliver(MV), The Hammer Of Wrath, Nameless Warrior, Liar, Set The World On Fire, Raise Some Hell, Winds Of Transylvania(Live/MV), When Destinies Align(MV/Live), Shadow Maker(MV/Live), Glory To The World(MV/Live), Scream For Me(MV/Live), and cover songs Pain Killer(Judas Priest), Eagle Fly Free(Halloween)...all songs with dual crazy guitars solos... Japanese female BEST guitarist MIDORI/MIYAKO(LOVEBITES), HAZUKI/SAKI(NEMOPHILA), KANAMI(BAND-MAID), HAL-CA(ASTERISM), TOMOZO(GACHARIC SPIN), LISA X
I'm ready...I hope I'm ready..... I'm not ready!!!!!! LMAO. The Wolfpack is never ready so don't worry about it. The LB experience especially LIVE is never one you are ready for but just marvel at. This is a Miho special, bassist who put this insane talent together to bring a more European sound to Japanese metal. She was always like Haruna (band mates in Destrose) little shine time but the driving force of the group. Thrash is done by this group better than anyone else today. Try Hammer of Wrath, Setbthe World on Fire, etc....
For a Visual change of pace, I would suggest Stand And Deliver off their latest album. It is Lovebites in casual clothes in their studio doing a play thru and having some fun. It features their new bassist, the very talented Fami. Of course the song kicks butt too.
This song has a vertical lyrics : "Die By My Side", a famous song of Boston Punk band: Explosion! Miyako's solo remember me Jan Ackerman (the same guitar) from Focus!
LOVEBITES' guitar solos are not two solos of Midori + Miyako side by side, but rather ``one solo'' created by Midori and Miyako. In other words, when you paused in this video, you paused in the middle of Midori+Miyako's solo. One of the points to evaluate the excellence of their solos is the perfection of the continuation (inheritance) of the performance from M to M. Patience is required to fully enjoy its wonders. hahaha...well, don't worry about it. Most reactors are making the same mistake you did with this song. ---------- from Nippon *This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
Yes. Sounds like SLAYER (with a beautiful tribute to GARY MOORE). Especially impressive is MIDORI’s solo (her “shreddiest”) in the style of HANNEMAN and KING, only far better than anything they ever dared to imagine. If you need to catch your breath, try FROZEN SERENADE.
Slayer ,Metalica ,Judas Priest these are all favorite groups to the girls Haruna 's favorite is Helloween so of course you will see all these influence's with the exception of Asami (singer) who came from an r&b background but embraced heavy metal completely ah one more thing i have been practicing guitar for 50+ years now and no i cannot play like M&M lol and prolly never will some players are just naturals the rest of us have to struggle a lot more
I have to admit, sometimes I really worry about your heart, my dear friend! I'm not sure if you should really dare to experience Lovebites live! ... I'm joking, on the contrary - I celebrate how you react to the music in one way or another - but, watch your heart! 😇
@@TRMReacts62812 was just razzing ya dude lol took me a minute to get the names down too Miyako and Midori are 2 of my favorite guitarists of all time right up there with David Gilmor, Jimi Page and Stevie Ray
@@TRMReacts62812 its all good love what your doing hope you see my suggestion for Gacharic Spin on one of the baby metal vids my keypad had a mind of its own while i was typing it lol
