Glad you enjoyed this song by BAND-MAID. May I suggest BAND-MAID's live performance at Lollapalooza 2023 "DICE/HATE?" I think you will enjoy their performance. Thank you for this honest reaction.

Awesome reaction. Kanami is a walking riff machine. My favorite band by far.

If you haven't heard their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON then please do. It's rock/metal/prog ecstasy. I guarantee it. Peace. 26

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! "Push the Envelope Like a Fierce Tiger"

BAND-MAID live at LOLLAPOOZA songs Dice and Hate, bass and guitar battle.....

MV: Blooming; Warning: Manners/Black Hole; Live: From Now On; Onset; Freedom; Domination

Another great reaction, I'm like you i like agressive rift but sometimes agressive rift give me a bad mood but with Band maid i'm listen and they make me smile. I dont know why but they make me feel happy after a hard day,. Thank''s for the react

Band maid 🤟🤟ok I subs ..maidiac forever

Actually most of their material hits you in the face pretty hard. While some of my own favorites are not quite this fast, you will have a gazillion fast, in your face songs to check out. Black Hole is perhaps the ultimate, but almost anything off of their last two discs will be very aggressive. Regardless, they are awesome musicians and songwriters and even more awesome entertainers and people. A concert with the maids is an unforgettable experience because they pull you right into the show with them with lots of crown interaction, singalong parts, etc. And if you don't sing along, the pigeon will see you and she will come after you! So you'd better do your part!

One of the many great things you will find with Band-Maid is that they don’t keep the same sound for every song, but you can still tell its Band-Maid. They just rock your socks off in a different way! They are mainly hard rock, but they also have pop-punk and metal edges. The truly shine with their live videos though. I recommend checking out the song Puzzle live. But there’s also No God, Domination, Play, so many fantastic songs. For more MV I suggest, Dice, Different, From Now On.

Your channel seems to be new so I can’t tell what Band Maid songs you’ve heard before… but they have a lot that’s hard, fast, and aggressive! Like some others have said try out the 2-song video from this year’s Lollapalooza festival. The songs are “Dice” and “Hate”. They go from the first song right into the second one and there’s a terrific bass/lead duel in there as well. It’s hard rock the way it used to be played when rock was king!

So, you like BAND-MAID's Hard Stuff. Try 'Different', 'Black Hole' and 'RInne'. If you like anime, like 'Glory', this was another commission for an anime theme song. This one is the season two closing theme for the Netflix fighting anime, Kengan Ashura. I see someone suggested 'Hate' from Lollapalooza. It does rock, though the sounds and camera work aren't quite up to the standards of a BAND-MAID Official LIVE Music Video, it's still worth a look. It has one of Kanami & MISA's famous Call & Response "Battles". And someone mentioned 'From Now On'. But don't forget another great instrumental, 'Without Holding Back'.

Try "Warning" (official MV); "From Now On" (official MV, instrumental); "Different" (official MV); "Hate?" (Lollapalooza 2023, live) and "I Still Seek Revenge".

Appreciated your reaction and am glad that you enjoyed Band-Maid's awesome song Shambles. Purely by chance, I first heard their remarkable music seven years ago and have been a fan ever since while watching the band grow and develop. Like you, I'm not a musician but I do recognize and appreciate great music that speaks to me personally and touches me deeply which results in great enjoyment. Band-Maid is that rare special band that, for me, checks off all the right boxes. The band's founder, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist, Miku Kobato, is the principal lyricist for their many great songs. Her lyrics in Shambles are cleverly written utilizing her native Japanese interspersed with English words and phrases to underscore the theme of taking life's hard knocks in stride and fighting hard to overcome obstacles and hardships to the best of one's ability, while at the same time to never give up on one's dreams. While Shambles was written as the closing song of a martial art anime, it has an inspiring message that universally applies to everyone faced with hardships in life. Cheers.

1:00 fully agree

Great reaction. I am a few years older than you and a life long hard rock fan. I have other musical interest too, but hard rock is my favorite. I have been listening (not a musician either) for more years than I can count and have an extensive music collection. I had given up on rock in the US. All we have are "dinosaur" bands playing the same stuff in the radio for decades and had turned to talk radio. Then I heard Band-Maid about 3 years ago. Their music is so fresh yet familiar and I instantly fell in love with their music buying their entire catalog within a year. I envy you being able to hear their songs for the first time (they have over 100). My suggestion would be an instrumental that showcases their talent and skill ( two different things). From Now On MV is a tour de force. The live version of Onset is also really good. Now we can look forward to a new album this summer. I have seen them live 5 times and I am going to Japan to see them next month. I you ever have a chance to see them live it is a life changing experience. Enjoy the pigeon hole' there is plenty of room, lol. And NO we are not a cult! PS I have subscribed. Keep them coming!

Akane is an alien on drums !

Welcome to Band Maid! Much of your intro sounds a lot like something I would say myself. Now that I know what you like? I know which Band Maid songs that will appeal to you the most. Here are their other hard punchers: “Rinne/Reincarnation,” “From Now On,” “Moratorium,” “Afterlife” Enjoy!

I am an old rock and roll fan. Misa the bass player reminds me of John Entwistle from The Who. If you have heard Real Me from Quadrophenia where the bass line is like a lead guitar, you will see what I mean. The lead guitarist Kanami is a big Carlos Santana fan. I have seen Band Maid live and they rocked. I have been to live shows from Led Zeppelin to Rush and Band Maid is on the list of my favorite shows.

Love your reaction! You can enjoy any bandmaid song at least five times. Each time you will discover new WOWs from different instrument or vocals.

One of the reason Band-Maid fans watch first-time reactors is to see when that smile hits, partially re-living the moment that happened to them. Hope you enjoy the ride as much as this late-stage sexagenarian did.

Bandmaid never mind their official material being used. They watch reactions actually.

The reason there are so many different kinds of music is because there are so many different musical tastes. I also like this side of Band Maid so the videos for Puzzle live and the instrumental From Now On should satisfy. But I have to add that I like them because the are the most diverse rock band out there. But live your own life the way you want and don't feel the need to apologize to anyone. Peace.

Nice to see you back Mr Pentagenarian. I note that the forces of Darkness dismantled your old channel. Don't give up, one of my favourite South African reaction channels got struck out, but were eventually reinstated (and they had 40K+ subs at the time). Though I suspect it may require lawyers, guns and money. 😅 Gotta love Band-Maid, they never disappoint. On my bucket list to see them live. Next stop, some recent Lovebites live material, with their new bassist? Hammer of Wrath is highly commended, or Liar. Cheers.

And after being together for over ten years the just keep getting better........I have a few years on you with regards to all the music I've listened to up to now and these girls are right up my ally too. Good Stuff, Stay Well...

You can’t go wrong with Band Maid, they really know how to make great music. I have a suggestion for you:Gacharic Spin-I Wish I or Mindset, also PaleNe0-Panorama.

Band Maid doesn’t block reactions. They even recognize reactors at their shows. React to ANY live performance.

really good reaction . if you like fast paced songs you should listen to the live version of "black hole"' from band-maid it's a masterpiece in my opinion

Shambles , is the closing song for anime Kengan Ashura , the anime is about martial arts fighters , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin . I know what you mean about the pause`s , i watched a reactor the other day pause after the singer got not even 3 words out n said she had a great voice .

Personally I would go with Warning or Play live if you liked Shambles.

Band Maid is Band Maid. You can talk, walk around... Well.

You'd probably into Band-Maid circa 2021 onwards, especially their fast and furious songs. Warning! H-G-K, Blackhole, Without Holding Back, Hibana and Giovanni maybe more your taste. Thank you for your honesty. I listened to what you said in the beginning of the video without skipping and I could fully relate to it. I won't subscribe to your channel just yet but will check out your vid more. I really liked your reaction. Thanks 👍

Good job pointing out that "What I like" is just a subset of "What's good." (Well OK, some people really like bad music, but they don't know any better.) I believe Dylan was a genius but I'd actually rather read about his music than listen to it 😅

I respect a lot your way to do it! Music first always. I just hope you will not get into trouble knowing how RU-vid works.

I prefer reactions that stop and give their comments regarding fills, and especially transitions. These are trademarks of Band Maid. But I do respect your approach. Pointing out these marks help me to learn music and the structure of a song.

Lots of Band Maid like this. Different, Rinne, Hate?, Blooming, Black Hole, From Now aon, Influencer, Warning, Afterlife, Without Holding Back, No God, etc....

You would probably like Nemophila too.

If you like it hard and fast the Black Hole, No God, Different and Sense should be your go to's.

Artists should be listened as it is intended - Subscribed - but be wise, some videos u need to stop abit

My $0.02, which you're getting for the bargain price of $0.00, you lucky dog. The reaction was fine - it's a reaction and you paid attention to the music, that's pretty much all we could ask. For what it's worth, your open was far too in-depth. In your mind your videos may be a series with an ongoing evolution, and you want your audience abreast of any changes in SOP, etc. However, reaction videos are consumed piecemeal. By and large, people follow bands, not reacters. I have several reacters I really like, but I don't watch all their videos, because I don't care about Ice 9 Token in Reverse or whatever. So an almost 4m manifesto to kick things off is too much. Distill it down to 30s of "this is how I do my reactions." No offense, but I don't care WHY you do them that way. It's your channel, you get to choose, them's the rules, the WHY doesn't affect me. Then have 1m or so of info about the band and/or your experience with the band's music, and then get into it. In-depth is for after the song. Go on as long as you want then. As long as you're engaging and making a good point, we'll stick around. Good luck with your channel and thank you for doing BAND-MAID!
