      On one hand, it took me a while to get into LOVEBITES and even longer to get into Nemophila. People don’t have to like everything right away. On the other hand, I was never dismissive of them the way this lady is. I like Joel, but I’ll be skipping the other videos with this person in them unless he breaks out WGB.

    Hey Joel, i honestly love that you bring so many of your colleagues and frinds to bands like Lovebites, i really respect the hell of you for that. ;) But could you do me a favour, there are so many more live clips and videos of LB and you seem to stick with the same ones most of the time. ;) Could you maybe bring in more of the other clips ? Thanks, i appreciate it. Your videos are great, and thanks again for helping lets say more unknown artists (for sure outside of Japan, since their Record labels seem to do s*** for them to becoming more known internationally) to get more into the hear say of other people. I see so many bands from Europe or US tour in Japan, but noone takes a band like LB for their concerts as opener or some like that. Kinda sucks. I mean, they are even in their country, and as it can be seen and heard from the artists how great they are, yet the bands from other countries even in Japan dont take on a band like this as opener. Its sad to see. Anyone presenting for example LB, like you and many others on CZcams, everyone counts to help hopefully change that. But so far its sad to see how few bands really care.
    But i really enjoyed the guys from Skid Row I have to say, they seem like great dudes. ;) Hope they come back to your videos again. Cheers from Germany, take care Joel. ;)

      I'm sorry ... but everything is not so bad.🤗 Prior to the Covid 19 pandemic, LOVEBITES were the opening act for famous bands, played major music events, toured outside of Japan. Many professionals, serious international music media, well-known critics know them well .
      November 2017 - LOVEBITES played 3 concerts in London (UK). The band attracted the attention of representatives of the music industry.
      April 1, 2018 - LOVEBITES performance at the world's largest traveling international music festival Warped Tour (Chiba, Japan).
      June 11, 2018 - LOVEBITES in London (UK) received the prestigious GOLDEN GODS Award from Metal Hammer in the nomination "Best New Band". There were many world-famous musicians, bands, producers, show business figures, etc. at the presentation of the GOLDEN GODS Award.
      August 4, 2018 - performance of LOVEBITES at the largest rock festival of heavy music Wacken Open Air (Wacken, Germany). 197 bands performed at Wacken Open Air -2018 ( including JUDAS PRIEST, HELLOWEEN, ARCH ENEMY, GHOST, DORO, NAZARETH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, VINCE NEIL, EPICA, DOKKEN, SEPULTURA, WINTERSUN, NIGHTWISH, DIRKSCHNEIDER )
      August 10, 2018 - performance at Bloodstock Open Air (UK). About 130 bands performed at Bloodstock Open Air -2018 (including JUDAS PRIEST, NIGHTWISH, DORO, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES , KAMELOT). LOVEBITES performed on the main stage of the festival ( Ronnie James Dio Stage). The 2018 Ronnie James Dio Stage featured performances by JUDAS PRIEST and KAMELOT.
      November 2018 - LOVEBITES held a series of concerts as part of their European Tour ( Netherlands, Germany, France , UK )
      March 2019 - LOVEBITES perform at ARCH ENEMY concerts (opening act), in Beijing and Shanghai (China)
      June 2019 - during the month LOVEBITES perform at THREE International rock festivals: Download Festival (Donington,UK, about 120 bands), Download Festival (Madrid, Spain, 35 bands), Graspop Metal Meeting (Dessel, Belgium, about 110 bands).
      In 2019, these festivals featured famous bands like SCORPIONS, WHITESNAKE, WITHIN TEMPTATION, CHILDREN OF BODOM, SLIPKNOT, KISS, DEF LEPPARD, SABATON, SLAYER, IN FLAMES, JINJER, HALESTORM, ROB ZOMBIE, EPICA, TRIVIUM, DELAIN, DREAM THEATER, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, SKID ROW, SLASH & MILES KENNEDY, UFO, SONATA ARCTICA , LYNYRD SKYNYRD.
      * Asami (lead vocals) was invited on stage to sing "Love Bites (So Do I)" with HALESTORM at the Download Festival Japan (March, 2019) and Download Festival UK (June, 2019)
      November 2019 - joint tour of DRAGONFORCE and LOVEBITES in the UK ( 11 concerts in different cities)
      December 2019 - LOVEBITES perform in Tokyo as the opening act for HALESTORM.
      January 10, 2020 - LOVEBITES perform a concert in Singapore.
      What happened next was what we all went through. At the end of 2019, the first reports appeared about a new terrible virus that people in China are infecting and dying with. At the beginning of 2020, it was announced that the Covid-19 pandemic had begun in the world.
      The pandemic (2020-2022) has prevented LOVBITES from holding concerts in other countries, performing at major international rock festivals, etc., due to bans on mass events. The concerts of the national Tours ( 2020 and 2021) of LOVEBITES in Japan have also been canceled and rescheduled many times. In addition, Miho (bass) left the band in 2021, Miyako (guitar) gave birth to a child. In July 2022, Asami (lead vocals) gave birth to a child. All these events caused a break in the concert activity of LOVEBITES.
      * Miyako and Midori participate in exhibitions of professional musical equipment, including in the US (NAMM Show, California). Where at the stands of well-known companies - manufacturers of equipment they play guitars. That also helps to promote the band.

      I don't see the necessity to vary too much which video he uses to introduce Lovebites to someone who has never heard of them before. I suspect you're coming from the perspective of someone who has watched a lot of Joel's videos. So it is YOU who wants variety. Joel's videos are about promoting Lovebites to his friends. The person who is new to Lovebites has never heard of them so naturally Joel should choose their best songs and videos so that they get the best first time impression of the band. Why would he choose a lesser song to introduce a band to someone? If you want them to like Lovebites then show them the best songs/videos. Joel has varied which video he uses. I think I have seen him use at least 3-4 different ones which is just right IMO. He knows his audience and is choosing the video that he feels is the best one for that person.

    Actually in their song Raise Some Hell the lyrics refer to themselves as chicks.

    "Who is playing?Who's that chick?Heavy noise on bass
    "Who is playing?Who's that chick?Pounding on the drums
    "Who am I?I've got a voice, it's gonna knock you out"

    Hello Joel, a pleasure to follow your channel and I really appreciate your support to many of these bands, really with a lot of real talent and not so well known around here. It seems unfortunate to me, the presence of this guest, not because we agree or not in her opinions (that's why she's there, to give hers), but 1) To say that a band is Nerd because the theme of the video clip is about themes medieval, iit is something worrying, not only because of her disrespectful and arrogant opinion, but apparently this lady, whom I don't have the displeasure of knowing, like the vast majority here, doesn't know that the subject of a video clip depends from many people, even outside the band itself and which is also determined by the lyrics and the intention that they want to give to the song, according to the lady, who would Michael Jackson be then for making Thriller? was he a zombie? 2) To say that BAND MAID are whiny, is not only ridiculous and offensive, but it seems like the comment of a 7-year-old girl, not of someone who, as you present it, has experience in the subject. Sad and embarrassing really. 3) On your channel you have had everything, people who really liked the bands, intermediates and those who did not like it, but gave technical or style reasons, not opinions of children's and also, they gave them with respect, not like that . From his way of expressing himself, I agree, with many opinion makers, that apparently there is a personal issue, seeing so many beautiful... and talented... and successful ladies, there are too many incomprehensible things for the lady, too many frustrating things that she cannot criticize, and because in all those areas, there is a wide, very wide difference between the members of the bands that are opined about and the lady. Difference that only creates frustration, sarcasm, aggression and the absurd search for trying not to feel so little. Honestly, today I felt a lot of embarrassment from others for these foolish comments. Anyway, better luck next time with your guests, friend Joel.

Harrigan c is high in the music world because everything sounds the same in the US there's got to be specific music pattern is got to be specific sound there's got to be total similarities . Well I'm getting off of my soapbox because I'm very frustrated you have some really great people from some really great bands and they really make you look bad maybe you should start interviewing with bands that are younger s relate to the new style of music. I've been in music for years but then I stopped because of things and people that you always have come on you're a great person but I don't think I can watch anymore and the best of you for your book and what you've done in your lifetime.
