#bandmaid #bandmaidreaction #reaction - Hudba
I get the BIGGEST KICK out of watching people discover them for the first time. Not that I need any encouragement or reinforcement (LOL) but it always brings me a little closer to the music. I look for the little parts of the songs that are out of the norm and wait for the reaction. Phillip hit on several of them, mostly related to Akane. Welcome to the fandom Phillip!
Give him more Band Maid!, because this band is the best!!!
Unless you don't like Rock, what else can you say except BAND-MAID is Awesome? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Peace. 26.1
Yup, yup, yup 👍🍻
Just thinking about the dedication and drive to be this talented brings a tear to ones eyes. Ego's and complacency kills bands, and these girls have neither.
Here's the true story of a high school friend of mine. He was keyboards in a pretty successful local band, they played gigs about three times a week and had some steady work. They put out a couple of EPs and got mentioned in the underground papers.
scene: rehearsal space at the end of their last summer
guitarist: "Hey guys! We should move to L.A.. and try to get noticed! We could be big!"
keyboardist: "Gee, I'm not sure I'm ready for L.A. I'm enrolled as a music major at college."
bassist "Hey guys! Great news! Christy's pregnant! We're getting married! Her dad's got a sweet gig for me at his business!"
vocalist: "Hey guys! I brought a case of Old Milwaukee! Does anybody else want something?"
@@surfingasongwave LOL!! Yep! Sounds like the Bryan Adams song "Summer of '69"
Thousands try and few succeed. Like the old saying goes, "if it was easy everyone would be doing it"
Great recruiting drive - definitely the best 2 songs to use to get new Maidiacs.
Toyko is to rock today what LA used to be
Best ❤BAND-MAID💙 fans are new ❤BAND-MAID💙 fans and fans that introduce people to ❤BAND-MAID💙. We just happen to have both in this video. Well done👏🏽
Love it when you do this slightly longer format double song reactions. The single song ones are too short and abrupt, but if it's 3 songs it'd get too long. This is the sweet spot!
Band-Maid did share the stage with Guns -N- Roses as an opening act for a show at the Saitama Super Arena on Nov 6, 2022.
Was it in 2020? Man, can it be that long ago? I was thinking 2021…hmm?🤔
@@bobespirit2112 It was 2022, after their first post-covid live shows in Japan that summer and their return to the U.S. that October. They opened for Guns N Roses in Japan late '22 and then for The Last Rock Stars back in the U.S. early in '23.
@@bobespirit2112 My bad. I don't where I got that date. It was Nov 6, 2022. I will edit
@@surfingasongwave I erred when I was looking at the tour date info. It said Guns N Roses 2020 tour which was really their "We're F'N' Back! Tour". It began in 2020.
@@johnmatthew102 No worries! It wouldn't be the first time it took GnR a couple of years to actually do what they planned to do! 🤣 Although they have a good excuse this time ...
How good is this live performance of Onset! I've seen it dozens of times and the hair rises on the back of my neck every time. Akane, of course, is a Goddess!! Welcome, Phillip, to the Maid fandom.
I have seen these ladies twice in concert. The first time I flew to Houston because they skipped Denver. The second time they came to Denver. Both shows were Awesome.
I've seen them 5 times. 2 times in Dallas, 2 times in Houston. Once in Austin.
Band maid rock 🤟🤟🤟
Admittedly I am not a musician, and maybe it's not that hard, but I am amazed in the first song by how the bass player goes from picking to slapping so effortlessly. I'm not even sure what happened to the pick.
She tucks the pick and holds it with her index finger. She never drops it which is mind boggling. Not common skill for bass players that I am aware of.
Standard Misa!
@stimproid has it wrong. She very quickly and deftly makes a small slit in the space-time continuum and puts her pick in it, then retrieves it later. Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, as they say. 🤣
@@surfingasongwave I stand corrected 😉
@@stimproid 🤣
I can't wait to get my Yokohama limited blu-ray I pre-ordered! So I can watch it 100 more times. I'm stoked for the documentary as well.

6 years ago, my local alternative/progressive/indie rock station was sold by the University that owned it to a religious broadcaster, sacrificing decades of community goodwill. Nothing was left on the airwaves outside of the vanilla blandness of *IHurtRadio,* 'Classic Rock' stations that only play the the same rotation over and over, excluding much of the music that was popular back in the day, and the midwestern ubiquity of Contemporary Christian music. I was starved for the new music I craved; modern Western rock seemed to have fallen into a rut: it was starting to all sound the same to me with nothing fresh or novel to offer.
I turned to CZcams and searched for new sounds. Around 2-1/2 years ago Band-Maid popped into my suggested videos: "Thrill". I would look at the thumbnail, see a bunch of young girls in French maid costumes, and figure that this wasn't anything I would find interesting: it looked a bit cringe. I ignored Band-Maid for weeks, but one evening curiosity got the better of me and I watched "Thrill". From the moment Miku says, "Breaking New Gate", I realized that Band-Maid was not what I was expecting, not at all, they were pretty good. But "Thrill" was just one song, was it a one hit wonder? But after watching it, more Band-Maid videos appeared in my suggestion feed: "Warning", "After Life", "Manners", "Black Hole", "Domination", "Play", "Freedom" and I started watching them. That's when I realized how much depth this band has, and I headed down the pigeon hole.
Should have shown philip Asterism Dawn from valentines day 2019
🤘🤘🤘
Seen this, right, Joel?
Oh for those seeking new things From the UK a new band called The Molotvs answer the question what would happen if Paul Weller's grandson met Bruce Foxton's grand daughter met at school and formed a band. Also from UK horror rockers Lesbian Bed Death (only guy in the band ) and from Japan Wang Dang Doodle is two your women channeling the best of Peter Wolf, Etta James and many a DJ and funk guitarist.
Give him more LOVEBITES! 🙂🤘
This a reupload
Part of the reason there are "so many talented female metal/rock artists from Japan" is that there is an audience of middle aged men in the West who will rush to snap up anything the artists put out. That's not a bad thing - the audience gets music that they think they can't get elsewhere, and the talented artists get an audience that is appreciative of their talents who support the artists financially; the audience are enthusiastically following the bands, and the bands are able to have successful tours all over the world thanks to that audience, whereas bands that don't have that Western appeal rarely venture outside of Japan let alone Asia. So it's a good relationship for both audience and artists. But these bands aren't the "saviors" of rock/metal, despite the hyperbole of their most rabid fans. When the age of the average fan is in their 40s or older these bands don't represent "the future." BABYMETAL probably appeals to the youngest audience, but a large part of their young audience will outgrow the band because it is more the gimmick than the music that appeals to that young audience, and they'll move on.
You're ignoring that most "talented female metal/rock artists from Japan" make their living entirely in Japan and their audience is generally not only middle aged men. Pause one of their live videos from a Japanese venue and look at the faces in the crowd. I've gone to Band-Maid shows in the States and expected an older audience but what I saw was an all-ages crowd. There were older men, but I'd estimate maybe 10% or 15%. There were younger women too, but mostly couples in their 20s to 40s. Some of the younger audience (in the States) have never heard much rock music. It isn't played on the radio anymore. It sounds new and unique to them, and sometime the brashness and volume makes a big impression, especially from women in dresses. Sometimes gimmicks like that lose impact with the older crowd pretty quickly - they've seen it all before - but it's new to the millennials and younger generations.
What a BS post I don’t listen to “whatever comes out “ no matter where the band is from or if they are male or female. Band Maid is one of the best rock bands I’ve ever heard bar none. You don’t know rock music. Now go listen to your K -Pop Idol bands or lame popular American music.
I believe your analysis is inaccurate. All these talented female bands did NOT form to take advantage of middle aged Western men. It is more a result of having plenty of youngsters getting a good musical education and getting the desire to make that their career. Japan is the 2nd largest music market and is capable of supporting any number of bands financially. This has been going on for a long time. I believe Show-Ya, one of the first all female rock band in Japan, started in 1981. Baby Metal formed in 2010. Band Maid started in 2013. Certainly these 3 bands, and many others, were not started with the Western market in mind. As for the "savior" label, I agree with you. More accurate to say torch bearer. They are not only playing rock, but keeping it fresh with their own creative touches.
@@DAVID-io9nj Show-Ya, X Japan, Loudness and other bands of that era were NOT created specifically to cater to a western audience. BABYMETAL was created specifically to cater to idol culture with the bl3nd of idol and metal - that's not up for debate, that is SPECIFICALLY why the group was created, and you can go check the band's official bio if you don't believe me. When BABYMETAL broke out into the western audience there was a formula to breaking out in the west. It's not as if there weren't rock and metal bands in JP before BABYMETAL, but they didn't catch on in the west the same way. Even Mary's Blood and Destrose, bands that preceded the bands that are popular in the west today and share the same members, didn't break through to the west. BandMaid was formed by Miku to follow the BABYMETAL template to break into the western audience, not out of some deep seeded need to "rock out." BamdMaid was created to capitalize on, and cater to, the western audience. The skill of musicianship and songwriting is why they are not limited to being the gimmick band they were created as. Likewise, Nemophila and Lovebites had their own take on reaching a western audience, but make no mistake, THAT is what they were created to do, and that's what they did. There's NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Bur these groups AREN'T the "future of rock and metal." They are packaged and sold to middle-aged men. Sure you will find a woman, or someone under 30, here or there, but the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of their fans are middle-aged men. That is a FACT, period. And middle-aged men are not "the future."
Listen, I love these bands. BandMaid first, then Lovebites or Nemophila depending on my mood at the time. But I'm a middle-aged man. I'm not "the future," nor is anyone in my demographic. These bands are not reaching enough of the demographic that is "the future" for they themselves to be "the future." An example of an all female Asian band that is closer to being "the future" is Korea's Rolling Quartz. I don't like them as much, they're more Bon Jovi to, say, BandMaid's Van Halen, but they are more in tune with a young demographic immersed in KPOP than bands that are putting on shred clinics like Yngwie Malmsteen is still relevant - guess what? He's not.
@@FuglyStickI stand by my argument. Even Baby Metal was not started with Western men in mind. The pop idol scene has been present in Japan for a long time. Also, I don't dispute that most of the audience is men. But I believe that to be the case with rock/metal world wide. And I did not claim they are the "future" of rock. There is no denying that rock/metal is not a major part of the overall music scene today. The current trend of pop/idol, or what I call a Las Vegas song and dance act, is very strong. But who knows what will be next. Nothing stays widely popular forever.
