They have also switched guitar to that number, so attention my friend 👀 😎 , And I don`t think it is so important who they sound like , they sound like LOVEBITES , and it sound EXCELLENT . 😍
I agree! Very rarely do I try to make direct comparisons to another band's sound. Usually I'll hear a riff and it'll remind me of another song from a band or something like that, which to me, is way different than comparing bands! Thanks!!
"Dancing With The Devil" marks guitarist Midori's first songwriting credits with the band, as she co-wrote the lyrics with Asami and the music with Mao. Asami felt it has R&B elements.
Yes, different, as Hadesillo, Серый Лис & O Bud mention, written by Midori, with Asami on lyrics & with Mao on music, different lyrical theme, 'sassy-swagger' encompassing the whole vibe. Also, as Out West & Rune Lund mention, both Miyako & Midori are playing custom guitars they individually constructed, Miyako from a 'kit' she chose for the wood grain (assembled with her guitar tech), and Midori built hers in collaboration with a class at ESP's Guitar Craft Academy. Midori has pic-sets at her IG & GCA of the projects building several guitars. Very 'hands on' guitar construction, from both of them! Miyako built a few from kits also, a '335' style is another she said might find the stage, maybe not a LOVEBITES song (!?) discussed in her home-studio introduction. Tempo-wise, a 'breather' for both audience & band, though I love those manic dbl-kicks & stick-spinning Haruna throws in periodically. A cautionary tale from badass Midori ! 💚🎸💪🏾🍑🌏🔥💚 "Everything is clearly in my hands, Everything’s exactly how I planned Everything is under my control, Did you think you were free？ Running ‘round with your collar on ... " ! \m/🐺\m/ ! And such a contrast to "Glory To The World", eh?
Lovebites showed that they can play any genre of metal and rock music to its finest. I really want to see them play/collaborate with an orchestra. sure epic 😀👍👍👍🤘🤘🔥🔥
How sassy do you want Asami to get. Really bringing out her R&B background. She's having fun with this one. And did we all see Miyako doing some hop, skips & jumps, while dancing with her devil of a guitar. For example at 6:50
LOVEBITES - Dancing With The Devil lyrics: I don’t like to be controlled You should know by now my baby I’m pretty much sick and tired of how childish you are Don’t mess with me anymore Say what you want, there’s no use in lying to me It’s written on your face “I can't live, I can’t live without you” Look in the mirror, would you Everything is clearly in my hands Everything’s exactly how I planned Everything is under my control Did you think you were free？ Running ‘round with your collar on Everything you wanted was a fake Everything for me is just a game Everything you see is fantasy Did you even think that you ever had a chance to win？ Did you expect me to say something like “I miss you, baby” Just shut up and cut the drama I don’t need to hear your whining The choice is not yours, babe Say what you want, there’s no use in lying to me It’s written on your face “I can’t live, I can’t live without you” Look in the mirror, would you Everything is clearly in my hands Everything’s exactly how I planned Everything is under my control Did you think you were free？ Running ‘round with your collar on Everything you wanted was a fake Everything for me is just a game Everything you see is fantasy Did you even think that you ever had a chance to win？ Everything is clearly in my hands Everything’s exactly how I planned Everything is under my control Did you think you were free？ Running ‘round with your collar on Everything you wanted was a fake Everything for me is just a game Everything you see is fantasy Did you even think that you ever had a chance to win？ ----- lyrics: asami & midori music: midori & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
one of my favourite lovebites songs. they are showing us their groovy side. sassy asami is in her element. check the lyrics (asami/midori): which one of the two can you picture leading the guy around with a collar on?
This is good. Heard this one for the first time today. It is different and it is very, very good. I like it! Maybe it is not as technical challenging as the other ones they do, but it sure has a great feeling to it. And Asami really can enjoy herself.
I remembered it was Sunday hours before I settled down to my nightly Lovebites reaction “inspection”. So I’ve been looking forward to the two reactions. I didn’t take to this song immediately, but then quickly wondered why on earth not. Asami has fun in this song, perhaps only equalled by Don’t Bite the Dust for her bounciness. And how anyone can’t fall head over heels in love with her after this performance is beyond my comprehension. Those who are not single are obviously excused…🙂
Thank you ! Good song! Midori co-author the lyrics and music❤! I was plunged into the atmosphere of Deep Purple ( "Smoke on the Water") with Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore.
MIYAKO loves these wood grain guitars apparently and she specifically wanted ASAMI in LOVEBITES exactly for her vocal style. ASAMI didn't even know who METALLICA or JUDAS PRIEST were when she joined LOVEBITES, and now look at her. Quite remarkable. 🤘🐺🤘
Such a fun song with a nice, crunchy riff. Asami's charismatic performance is what makes this song for me. She does well playing the part of the devil.

Dancing With The Devil is a great groove. You are right that this song is a nice change of pace. If I wasn't in love with Asami, I fell in love with her the first time I saw the live version of this song. But then again, I am the Devil. Asami is always great but this song really shows her R&B back ground and she owns the stage. She's a boss on stage anyway. The Devil is on his knees listening to this.
It's indeed a bit different from what they usually do, but this is an excellent song. Love the groove, Asami truly dominates and I really enjoy the solos as well. Great stuff.
You're right this is different but still very welcome. Midori has thrown us a curved ball which is great. Asami really has some fun with it and Miyako is more animated than usual.😁 What's not to love. 💖 I get a Deep Purple feel and its interesting to see that M and M bring out different guitars from their usual's. 👏👏👏
Motley Crue, seriously? Stop comparing Lovebites with this fake band. Your metal knowledge of bands seems very limited, it's always Metallica, Megadeth, Kiss, Motley Crue...etc, didn't you listen to others bands in the 80's? There were A LOT more.
I think you should re listen to what I said. I said the RIFF reminded me of a RIFF from Motley Crue. I'm busy saving lives today, but took time out to respond to you specifically. I think I've mentioned Metallica once, and again was a RIFF. I've never mentioned Megadeth that I recall as I don't know them well enough. The only bands I have directly compared their sound to are Iron Maiden and on a few specific songs, Dream Theater. The fact you continue to misunderstand the difference between comparing bands and comparing riffs is your problem to deal with
