Yo people, can we hit 500 likes in 24 hours? Karate Reaction coming soon - make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss out!🙌🏻🔥

This song was about sneaking out to your first metal show, at the age of 15.

You should see this song on live... All babymetal songs more good on live

One thing that you have to check out is Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of God intro live.

Drew, live performances are where they really shine. This performance live is something to behold, with a crazy crowd. If you need links to exact vids, ask and we will deliver :)

Drew and Amy! Great Reaction! If there is ever a choice between the music video and a live performance, ALWAYS ALWAYS choose the live performances for BABYMETAL! "Headbanger!" is a song about a girl going to her first metal concert on her 15th birthday. The lyrics to this song are really good: "Now the time has come. I no longer hesitate. I hold my discount railway tickets tightly. To the east, to the west, to the south, to the north. Today also I rush to the very front of center stage. [...] With the legendary long black hair disordered and gorgeous, blooming crazily this flower will soon fruitlessly disappear. It'll never come back again and it's such a short time. I etch in my heart this special night of my fifteen." There's a couple things that get lost in the translation. They use an uncommon pronunciation for 15 "ichi-go", literally "one five" instead of the "jyuu-go" fifteen. They do this because "ichigo" is a homonym with "strawberry" as a way to emphasize the girl blooming and the fruit lyrics make more sense. There's much more but you get the idea. You're absolutely right that some stuff gets lost when translated.

Nooo!!! There are so many amazing live versions of this song

The live would be better!

the live version of this is GREAT

Babymetal are unique artists, and live is where their true masterpieces are.

The live version of this way better! THE BAND, THE CROWD, THE ATMOSPHERE, THE PRODUCTION are all mental!

Most of their lyrics are on subjects of empowerment & perseverance.

You want to read lyrics? Read the translations of Megitsune, Ijime Dame Zettai, Rondo of Nightmare, Akatsuki, Tamashii no Refrain.... you will find something to like. Even "Gimme Chocolate" is great, when you know where it is coming from.

There are some songs where the lyrics are a bit deeper. Mostly the Su-Metal solos, Akatsuki, No Rain No Rainbow, Rondo of Nightmare, etc.

Good one - and to Amy - welcome to Babymetal. There are many live versions of Headbanger and every one of them is worth seeing (they change them up all the time). Live at Legend 1997 (Su-metal's 16th birthday in December 2013) is always good, for an even older version from 2012 and the very first appearance of the Kami Band, live at Legend I. Another showing just how Yui and Moa could work the crowd is live at Budokan Black Night. Now you have seen the official video pick any of these and see why, good as the official videos are, we tell you to watch their live shows.

Welcome Amy! Everyone has been waiting with bated breath for your arrival. Note that no two Baby Metal songs are alike. There are pop tunes, metal tunes, solos. Some people like the versions that start with long band intros, some like solos by SU, the lead singer, some like their earlier work while others like their later work. In general the live versions are always better than the studio official vids. I look forward to your reaction.

When it comes to Babymetal, always go LIVE.

don't forget Su was 14 years old at this time. live is so much better. they are doing this song this year.

Megitsune, it's a must!

This song is about a girl going to her first metal concert in her 15th birthday.

This song’s live version is a badass.

"I thought it was gonna be Heavy Metal for babies" that killed me xD

I love this band, That's my favorite, you need a watch song live :D

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 There are some of their older songs they haven't performed in quite a while, but they just did 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!' earlier this month at both Summer Sonic Festivals (Tokyo and Osaka). The lyrics for this one are actually pretty interesting. It's about a fifteen year old girl going to her first heavy concert, and what it meant to her. Many of their songs have meaningful lyrics, but 'Gimme Chocolate!!' was just designed to be catchy, so that one is an exception. As Su has confirmed in interviews, that song is about wanting chocolate, but being a little concerned about gaining weight. She has said that it has nothing to do with eating disorders, or any of the other interpretations floating around on the internet.

She gets it. One of the goals of the band is to open up metal to people who wouldn't listen to it. Genius. Their producer is an full blown metal head and you can tell he respects the genre.

You must watch this song on live, and notice the diference

Ya need to see this LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song in concert is A W E S O M E !.

This is BABYMETAL!!! So darn good, kawaii and heavy...You should try their newer songs; PAPAYA and/or Shanti Shanti Shanti...or maybe some of their older greats like: Rondo Of Nightmare, YAVA and GJ!

This is their best live song, so try that one out too. its soooooooooo good :D

Su-metal was barely 14 way back then... :) She's an awesome presence now with an even more killer voice.

Yeah I think Amy will become a fan when you show her Karate

The Headbanger live version from the „Legend of 1997“ concert is insane. You should definitely check that out! The crowd participation... holy crap.

First: Hi Amy :) Glad, you liked it! Second: Like-button hit! P.S.: Mic-audio was OK.

Hey Nice seeing Amy Again . Both had great reactions to Baby Metal .

Always do the live versions I'd say. The studio versions are a bit over-produced and a little hollow in the production style compared to the raw energy of live. It would of course be great for all the people making suggestions to link or name a specific show. For headbanger I would have gone for Budokan Red Night, as it's a got a little bit of a legendary status around it :) For singing along look for the lyrics in romaji - these are the japanese words but spelt in English letters. You won't understand it but you'll be able to sing it!

gudluck bro just give your reaction to more song babymetal .. we very apreciated of your positive reaction at all .. we will support u !!

I don't pay much attention to the lyrics, but many of them are very deep with lots of hidden meaning. Duane metal has a youtube channel where he analyzes the words and teaches you Japanese at the same time.

as everybody said the live version is 100 times better really much better and make sure you bring too Amy everytime you watch/react to Babymetal :)

All Babymetal reactions go through the same sections. Wonder, then confusion, then a smile appears, then the person falls down the Fox hole.

You should react to Rondo of nightmare and Akatsuki, both live versions at Budokan.

Amazing how Baby Metal's videos/music from Long Ago still leaves an imprint amongst us newbies in 2019. I fell down the Fox Hole in April.2019, and HEADBANGER is in the top 5 of my Baby Metal playlist. LOL! The live performance of this jam at Makuhari Messe from YEARS ago was all the proof I needed to genuinely Respect everything this group has accomplished & continue to accomplish. Baby Metal indeed has the Power of Music. Many thank yous for sharing!

After this, you should watch the live version of Legend 1997. You'll see why there are many people suggesting the live version than the MV As for the song Megitsune you should watch the MV first. Then, if you want, watch the live version 🤘🦊

Live dude.. Always with Babymetal! Shows are legendary..

Yeah, this video is definitely one of their more out-there ones, but it is just so damned fun! And this one was written for Su-Metal (Nakamoto Suzuka) for her 15th birthday.

The name Baby Metal is not because they were young when it started, but because it was a new type of metal in its infancy which combines metal and Kawai pop (K-pop). Love their music. So fresh and explosive. So much fun.

This was the first Babymetal video I saw/heard and it was basically made to be a first interaction. This video blends the empowerment aspect with the normal metal stuff like demons and gods and possession and introduces both the ideal stuff and the metalheads.

Always more BabyMetal forever! :)

when you first see babymetal you are impressed ... then you fall in love

Whatever it is about the nature of Babymetal i think your Granny would find something to like too. Karate should be good. Looking forward to that but go and do the live version of 'Headbanger' from the Legend 1997 show. i found the official version video tame compared to the live version.

What a fucking song!

I am so happy you guys did a reaction to babymetal ❤❤ I defiantly hit the like button and can not wait for your next review!! not sure of how many people know about gackt and hyde who actually played in movies together and they both sing as well but one song from (gackt- redemption) and the other (hyde- mad qualia) two awesome songs from them!!!!

BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)

Love the wtf reactions. Babymetal are awesome.

Part of the lyrics to this awesome song. If you sing along. You'll know right where they belong: WITH RAVEN HAIR, TANGLED EVERYWHERE, LEGENDARY GORGEOUSLY. THIS FLOWER SOON DISAPPEARS FROM ME. FRUITLESS, BLOOMING CRAZILY. IT'S LEAVING ME, WONT COME BACK AGAIN. SUDDENLY IT'S VANISHING. BUT I WON'T FORGET ETCHED IN MY HEART THIS SPECIAL NIGHT MY FIFTEENTH. I'M JUMPING, DANCING IN THE AIR. HEADBANGEEERRR!

A live version would've been great but the music video is great as well

You should watch the live version, just look "Babymetal - Headbanger live".... it's the best!!!

Love this video. Great song for a crowd.

Do the live version of Karate Download 2016

You need to do the live versions (except maybe Karate, which is a great video that can keep up to the live version.)

No you should have done one of the live versions!!!!

I like this version of Headbanger because it portrays the fantasy of a 15-year old daughter of a middle-class family. In that role, Suzuka never leaves her bedroom. When she starts, it’s daytime and she fantasizes until night. I wonder if she had any idea we’d still be watching this video nearly a decade later or how many stages she would end up dancing on.

BabyMetal Death Legend of 1997 for a more metal side of the girls. And less J-pop

You should react to Babymetal performance at metrorock 2015, that was epic, I mean every Babymetal concert in Japan is epic, but metrorock 2015 was insane 🤘🏻

I get what you were saying about after getting over that first shock factor. However I would recommend megitsune by babymetal and it does sorta translate back into English meaning wise if you look up the lyrics

素敵な反応、私はベビーメタルが大好き !

Best Babymetal is live Babymetal. Mostly for the show but also sound-wise. Check out the live version of _Headbanger_ from "Legend 1997" show celebrating Suzuka's 16th birthday, Dec. 2013: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P9miB6jKLRw.html

"How it all started" is a fascinating story in itself. Kinda like movie waiting to be made. BTW - I still think "Megitsune" music video would be more interesting in this particular situation.

Great review and your thoughts about translations and how the meaning gets lost. Love the shock of Amy's eyes on the opening note!! 😲. Your mics are working fantastic and sounds awesome.

This was one of their first videos. The girls were pretty young back then when this was recorded. Suzuka 14, Moa and Yui around 12-13 yrs old.

That's great, glad you both enjoyed it! I'm actually glad you reacted to the MV first. Now you'll get the callback when you see neckbraces (which are in turn a reference to X-Japan's drummer Yoshiki) involved with BabyMetal. I agree that you should also watch live versions, but it doesn't have to be one or the other, it can be both. Despite all the clamoring about live performances, neither one is a replacement for the other. I think they're both important because the live gives you more of their energy, but the album version MVs tend to present a better close-up on their personality. Also, keep in mind that just because you've seen one performance of a song doesn't mean you've seen it all (even for just that song). :D I'd argue that there are more "deep lyrics" on BabyMetal's first album than there are on Metallica's first album. I don't think that necessarily takes away from or adds to the meaningfulness or metalness of either one, though. BabyMetal isn't meant to largely be "super cereal, you guys" anyway, but neither does that mean they're just shallow and on-the-nose.

It’s better if you watch the live versions.

There is a vid out there when Yui turned 15, Su gave her the Mic & Yui did the second half of the song.

React to live videos pls

Yes its her!

I saw them At Download last year. I came across a Guy with his Granddaughter there. How awesome is that? :D

Love that

You should react to their Starlight music video, Starlight was a tribute to their guitarist who had died

please react to more of the live shows, they are mostly more fun to watch

u should react to megitsune!!

It's tough to say when you say, "they are there for the girls" but if they were, they wouldn't be in the pit or crowd surfing. The band itself is amazing, please listent to Rondo of Nightmare (boudokan black night)

Babymetal - phonetically, in Japanese: Bebimetaru - is sort of a play on words with Heavymetal: Hebimetaru. "be" and "he" are written almost the same way in Japanese.

Need to watch the one,distortion, and megitsune from baby metal

"Drew: [Babymetal is worth listening to] "... "Amy: [I Agree] " Brought to You by Monster Energy. It's like Inception in a can.

I forgot how mad the music video was for Headbanger 😂 The live version is mad too ofc, but somehow it makes more sense? I guess it's got more refined over the years 🤘🏼

The whole Japanese esthetic in making movies and videos is totally different from what we Westerners are expecting which is what makes them so enjoyable. Along with the music blending the J-pop and Metal it is a unique experience.

Definitely live versions is the way to go...09. BABYMETAL - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!! "Legend Z" (Live at Zepp Tokyo 21.02.2013), is in my opinion the best live version out there.

the headbangerrrr + world order is much better video

Great reaction with Amy,,, could i request that you react to Babymetal "Amore live at Wembley arena" as it showcases their huge fanbase and Su, s vocal performance 👍🦊🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🚀

Funny you mention Slipknot, because they and BABYMETAL are both playing locally on Sept. 4, hurricane willing.
