In this video I react to No God, an instrumental by Band Maid, and focussing on the bass player Misa.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

I have been playing bass since 1966...and I have never seen anyone hide the pick better than MISA. She is talented to and above Jaco Pastorius level.
HAHAHAHAHA..... I never knew it was a thing until I saw MISA do it. Lol. I asked my brother, who play's bass, if he knows of any other bass player who does this..... His response was...NOPE. She might be a innovator.
@@stealthcabbie1336 I've heard someone mention one other person who does it (can't remember the name as I'd not heard it before) but it's clearly a very rare technique and I wouldn't be surprised if, even if she wasn't the first to do it, she innovated it independently.
@@stealthcabbie1336 I've seen many classical guitarists do that
I’ve seen Emma Anzai from the band Sick Puppies do it. She’s another bassist that switches between pick and slap so it seems that any bassist that has to switch between those techniques probably comes up with a similar technique to keep the pick in hand while they slap.
I told her in person that she was the only person on the planet who does that. (I've never seen it done before and very amazed by it. I'm going to check out Emma Anzai)
A lot of people are of course impressed with her instantaneous switches between pick and slapping, but perhaps less appreciated is the amazing speed and precision of her octave slides - she does it almost non-stop on quite a few numbers. I wasn't completely surprised to see her holding an ice-pack on her left wrist in an after-show band interview a while back.
What I love is that Misa never forget the rythm support role of the bass, but still play it like one more lead instrument at the same time! It's even more complicated than it seems, and she does flawlessly and with lot of musical imagination.
Every band should be like this, always room for the bassist to showcase their stuff and this is coming from a guitarist.
@@yeesenchai Yup. Anybody who says "THE BASS IS ONLY THERE TO ANCHOR THE SONG, NO MORE NO LESS," is clearly a lead guitarist with a huge ego who feels threatened by a skilled and capable bassist who can actually add more than just THUMP THUMP THUMP to the music, regardless of said bassist's sex. John Entwistle would approve of MISA if he were still here, I think.
@@MaskedRiderChris Another really astute comment, I hear some of that BADASS Entwistle tone in her playing as well! And I KNOW he'd approve of her playing!! (add in the alchemist Jaco-type groove phrasing too)
She plays a lot like Lemmy did
@@AlphGen Well I don't think so, not at all actually. I would rather say John Entwistle
She switches between picking and slapping in an instant. It's amazing!
MISA is the entire reason I wanted to start playing bass again after almost 30 years away from it...but I never could do any slapping like she does. It always escaped me when I tried before.
In their interviews they stated MISA was the only one not on the click trac, she just keeps the rhythm on her own.
Misa always amazes me with her ability to go from pick to slapping, then back to picking! Seamless and flawlessly executed!
slap like NOW!
The thing I like most about MISA is her part-writing. She is so conscious of rhythmic movement and what all the melodic lines are doing. And then comes up with an imaginative bass line that fits perfectly.
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!!
I love it when an amateur or pro musician gives props and respect to the complexity of BANDMAID'S music and the members of the band.
She's a goddess!
She's the Barefoot assassin! 🙂
@@snowdog5895 She's the Goddess of Barefoot Assassins!
😂
Indeed 🥰
Innovative bass player indeed. I love her.
She is an extraordinary bass player ! Misa and Akane are my favorites. I liked 👍 greetings
Great find Dean. Really shows why Misa is one of the world’s great bass players and the amount of the effort that goes into a song.
Oh, great. . . just when I thought my crush on MISA couldn't get anymore intense you go and react to this.
Well, at least it was a good reaction, as always. I appreciate you reacting to things that don't get much attention, like this vid or fan cam concert footage. Cheers!
Gotta say the way she's doing her hair now really suits her.
Band-Maid's music is generally dense with fast tempos that can be a bit confusing at first. Yet it's played and integrated so well, we can (sort of) follow along on the first couple of listens and just be amazed with what we're hearing. After our minds settle down, we can run it through a few more times and start to hear individual parts, which are very complex for a rock band, but fascinating and satisfying. With more listens we begin to more fully appreciate just what's going on here - just how good and cleaver these five, unique and prolific rock stars are.
Band-Maid is one of those rare bands, like RUSH & YES, for example, that create music one can listen to over and over, rediscovering, and still feel like it's fresh and exciting as the first time. I still get chills hearing B-M's early songs. That, along with the bright, fun and quirky personalities of each Maid, should be a golden formula for stratospheric success. Please keep up your great Band-Maid reactions, reviews and analysis, Dean! This band runs deep!
Well said. I'm so glad I got the ltd edition with the DVDs; even though the non-instrumentals aren't "complete" without the vocals, the instrumental versions (even the group edits) make things readily apparent that could be missed for a long time if just listening to the album versions. Having found them, one can then hear them in the full version.
@@stevehall5128 Thanks, Steve. I think one reason they put out the instrumental only vids - no other band does that, do they? - is that so much is missed (like you said) when Saiki sings & performs. She commands such attention and focus that all the little riffs and nuanced playing is overshadowed. Especially with MISA. But once we witness what's going on behind this great frontwoman, what we hear is incredibly intregret and really sets them apart from other rock bands. Seeing them live is really the best way to see and hear this. They literally blew me away with just how great they play. Unfortunately, this is somewhat missed on most fan / MV's videos.
@@TomClark-Futoura My impression was that the instrumental DVDs were born of musicians wanting to learn how to play the song (pretty cool) and then the band actually _hearing_ and _responding_ to that (which afaik is DEFINITELY going above and beyond). P.S. Kudos for your reminders to us junior fans not to sleep on their earlier material.
@@stevehall5128 🙏
Great insightful comments Tom, Misa is truly gifted and I never tire of watching her work! Everything flows and she weaves in and out throwing in those wonderful double stop parts up high, so melodic and exhilarating. When her and Akane get into those grooves there is no escape!
this is from the dvd/bluray from the special edition of their latest album Unseen World. def suggest picking it up, its a great album. i got my copy off their official international store.
This girl is a genius.
Misa`s bass is very cool always singing funky
I've watched her play hundreds of times now, and I'm as enthralled and impressed this time, as if it was the first time.
I'm glad this video was made, obviously, there's a demand to see this master work her magic.
Oh look, the bass goddess 😍
Love Misa, great video, thanks for the well thought through reaction.
Everyone in this band is so talented, but I really think Misa takes the cake. Ultra inventive playing that's very, very busy but somehow never crowds the sound of the band at all. She really knows when to just drive home the riffs and when to fill out the melodic richness of the whole-band sound.
This isolation was a lot of FUN!!! Can never get enough isolation vids of the girls....Thanks!!
Misa-Cam!
Misa's the greatest bass player in rock today. (With all due respect to everyone else.) A worthy successor to John Entwhistle.
@Seth 100% agree. Second to me is a unknown player from another new Asian Band call Rolling Quartz. Her name is Arem and she just blew me away too!
@@btsdancestudio5691 I don't know much about all the Japanese rock groups, but I sure have fun lookin' for 'em. See also Yousei Teikoku.
And then you have Akane on drums who according to Jimmy Paige is the second coming of John Bonham.
They're all excellent though.
@@bohicagaming4462 Absolutely!
@@bohicagaming4462 The Bonham comparison is unfortunately just 'urban myth' , though Jimmy Page did compliment her on her playing and had his photo taken with her (at a meeting he instigated).
Great video and reaction. I've been playing guitar for well over 15 years and Misa makes me want to go out, buy a 5 string bass and start slapping XD.
Always love me some MISA!
What are the chances. One wants to start a band and discovers a guitar player who knows a drummer who knows a bass player and then they find a singer. Result some of the best musicians in the world and the best rock band in the business.
100 per cent organic
She always has such great tone. And as I’ve learned from playing in amateur bands for 35 years is that tone starts in the fingers.
Questa bassista è PAZZESCA!!!!! 🤯🤯
Sì sicuramente
In addition to her vast array of skills and talents, I gather Misa is the only one not to use a click track - she has perfect natural rythm .
Very true she does not use ears. Akane has been quoted as saying she has the best rhythm she has heard. She ought to know they went to music school together!
@@grayjack5021 According to Kanami, MISA also has perfect pitch.
Not only no click, she apparently uses ear monitors with 'bleed holes' (pretty unusual) so she can hear Akane better, and I've heard that she like to feel the kick drum and floor toms through the stage with her bare feet. IOW, the fantastic Akane is her click track.
In my opinion they are all virtuosos in their respective instruments and continue to improve and improvise. The precision they display as band is really something special.
When you figure in that Misa is usually Drunk it takes her to an even higher level.
Yes, I really don't want to lose her to alcoholism.
Misa just.... Grooves.
Band-Maid is so great :) I love that they went ahead and made some of their songs into instrumental videos. Gives me a new appreciation for the instrumental work.
Also, check out the Prog-Rock idol group from Japan called XOXO EXTREME. You might like them.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘MISA MISA MISA!!!!! 🤘🤘
Ahhhhhh she's so amazing!!!! 🤗❤✌
The transition from picking to slapping is insane.
boy does Misa have that technique of cupping the pic so she can do slap down pat great job MISA
She is the real deal any band will be better having her on bass!!
Nice reaction. Love this song; such a creative composition with distinct Band-Maid sound. One of my fav's off the latest album.
Superb Instrumental
Everytime I listen to this instrumental ver. that freaking chorus melody Kanami is playing just steals the show for me. So catchy and it’s such a heartfelt beautiful melody. Esp. that part where she slows it down towards the end, never fails to get me on the feels.
This was the same feeling I had when I first listened to Puzzle. Straight up “All time- Taking to my grave” playlist material 😅
It’s a damn shame that this gets completely buried with the vocals.
H-G-K is my top pick off the album followed by this instrumental while the vocal ver. is around the 7th place.
Having said that, the vocal ver is great too. It’s just, that melody is good enough to become a dealbreaker in my books.
This video is from the DVD/BlueRay disc attached to the multidisc versions of the Unseen World album. There are 4 instrumentals (1 bespoke instrumental and 3 songs from the standard album just without vocals). They shot videos for all 4 instrumentals in this white room, and you can choose from 5 cameras: a camera focusing on any band member being still and just playing, or the full band view where they move around. I am no musician, but I assume this is absolute gold for someone who wants to understand or learn their music.
Yeah they have instrumentals like this for every member for a few songs off Unseen World, and Conquerer as well. They all were from Blu-Ray/DVDs from limited releases. There is a camera angle that focuses on any single instrument the whole time so you can learn how to play it, or a group angle that changes between them and plays out more like a normal music video. I have them all, if you'd ever like to take a look at some of them. I wouldn't upload them though, and you have to be careful about using them, because they WILL file copyright strikes for this stuff as it's not something they want to share for free.
it's ok, they make all the money off of this video, as is usually the case.
@@deanwolfechannel I'm talking the thing where if you get 3 of them, you lose your channel. The thing where they remove the video from your channel completely. Not just a copyright claim. As with this thing in general it's not 100%, but other channels have had it happen.
I love these from the blu ray. The only time I've ever listened to the same song back-to-back 5x in a row (one for each memeber + whole band) - and then did it for each of their instrumentals! SO GOOD.
Misa is off the chart!
"No God" is a song from the new album, and it normally has vocals. This is a version from the Album DvD that just has the instrumental parts. This video focuses on Misa, but the original video shows the other members too. No God is one of my favorites on the Album, and it's not anti-religious despite the title. It's actually a very positive song. (Edit: "Anti-religion" isn't necessarily a bad thing, I've just heard some people say they avoided this song because of the title).
@Wulfgold ya, I thought about that after typing my message. I'll edit it so it doesn't cause any arguments. I've just heard some people say they avoided this song because of the title, that's why I said the song is positive without thinking.
@Wulfgold I agree with what you said, not just trying to look better. :)
@Wulfgold I didn't change what I said, I just left an extra edit at the end. :)
@Wulfgold Because it's a good song, and I don't want people to avoid it because of a misunderstanding. I really didn't mean to offend anyone with my comment. The reason I alluded to Anti religion being negative is because of the people that avoided this song because of its title. My intention was to say "you shouldn't avoid this song if you think it's anti-religious, because it's not". Some people are religious, and others aren't. Regardless, I just wanted to clarify this songs title wasn't actually about "no god". My reasoning was because of the people that avoided this song by looking at its title and misunderstanding what it's about. I don't want them to miss out on this great song, that's all.
Well said 👍💯
Misa, as well as Juna Serita and Les Claypool, are so fun to watch play. I have to click on all their videos.
what I love about MISA is she uses all the frets🔥 bass GOD right here👌🏽
Misa is so slick. Watch the pinky on her left hand. The woman can even play romantic melodies on a bass.
Misa Misa Misa !
Our tsundere bass goddess is a formidable force on the low end. She plays fearlessly and is not afraid to make herself heard on BAND-MAID's songs, uses all 5 strings as needed, and has a pretty awesome tone while she's at it. MISA is a graduate of the Tokyo College of Music (approximate equivalent to Berklee Music College), it also bears mentioning, so she is far from just a pretty face (though I do own up to crushing on her). That thing she does where she switches between pick and thumb slapping is especially impressive, because you never hear a drop or lag in her playing when she does it because she's so deft about it. MISA is no joke and BAND-MAID have earned their fame and status in the international arena, for sure.
she is a highly professional player
idc how she plays. shes the Goddess of bass. plucking love her.
That more I dig into this group that more impressed I get. I've learned so much about music from them I didnt know before. They are simply great!
There is no God, there is a Goddess !!!! Misa Misa Misa
Thanks Dean!
And there is no doubt about the technical credentials of MISA. She is a graduate of the Tokyo Music School, one of the most prestigious music schools in the world. If you have heard of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, then you will understand how impressive that credential is."(RaijinRock)
goddesss on bass!!!
This is from their Bluray/DVD release, on the Bluray you can swap between each member on the fly to focus on their performance. I'd gather this is a rip from the MISA portion of that video.
Misa is in my opinion the best bass player alive in the Rock/Metal world.
These videos are on their bluRay releases and include videos for each player, covering three different songs.
MISA MISA MISA!
Killer bassist. She reminds me of Colin Moulding of XTC as far as being melodic, innovative and powerful at the same time.
They need to release an official instrumental. I love Saiki but I feel this is the 1 song that shines a little bit more without lyrics.
The entire Unseen World album is Misa's show case.
Must get it then
MISA, F Chopper Koga, Tomomi Ogawa... female power!. If you are a bass player your place is Japan.
Just as Band Maid get more experimental, it's back to a more bass-ic point of view.
they are awesome bassically
MIsa! Misa Misa!
Misa Misa !
Hey Dean, looks like you've never listened to/seen DOMINATION-LIVE from Band-Maid. Always a must see. It's from their last concert before the world shut down. btw, they're touring the US in October. With an EP coming in a few weeks. Thanks.
Misa is my fav
honestky i dont think there was a fret on that bass Misa didnt play on. im always i awe when i watch them play. and what amazes me about Misa is im sure i read that Kanami said Misa is the only member who doesnt play to a click track (could be wrong)
Yes, I read that too....Misa, are you wearing a maid costume too? No! And don't bug me about it anymore. Misa, are you going to sing too? No! We have others in the band for that. Misa, do you want to use a click-track? No! I don't need that kind of nonsense. ...so she is ))👍
Also according to Kanami, Misa has perfect pitch so she's something of musical phenomenon!
Perfect pitch rhymes with perfect b..... oh no, I'm sure shes a sweetheart. LOL
@@deanwolfechannel LOL, but actually yes, she's been praised by the other band members as being the kindest and most considerate of them all!
@@MoonmanRedux As Miku said in one interview - "The most cute and slappable butt of all of us".
Beautiful and talented, my favorite. Does anyone know if she keeps an extra pick for a quick grab in case she would drop one during her pick to slap transfers?
She said she never drops her pick during live sets. They all usually have picks on their mic stands (her mic stand does not have a mic though).
There's a goddess on bass. Who am I kidding, they are all goddesses.
MISA is definitely awesome.
definitely
素晴らしい💯🥰😍🤩
Fun fact, I often watch this video
After that, live performances of "Manners + Black Hole" and "No God" have been released.
Compared to the studio version, the sound is overwhelmingly clear and the performance is wonderful, so please react.
Misa is using Black Cloud Custom 5 String Bass aka "Black Smoker"
Wow, your 'reactions' were dynamic!! I'm going to make a 'react' video now, of just nodding my head !!
Great, send me a link
If you pay the premium price for the album it comes with a Bluray that has 4-5 Instrumental videos with a version spotlighting each member, then a combined one. So each song has 5 different video versions. If you upload them to CZcams, they get copyright striked FAST!
Still up so not worried
@@deanwolfechannel they seem to be more lenient with reaction videos.
ミサ、最高👍
指遣いがセクシーです。
You said Misa, I clicked.
Review F Chopper Koga from Gacharic Spin. That would be an amazing one,sir.
2:56 pick and slap omajinai time.
It’s a bit too much repetition for me, but there’s talent there for sure! I enjoy their live stuff with vocals as well, but it was a nice close up for once. A definite nice change.
The song has vocals and isn't writen as an instrumental. Listen to the song on Spotify with the vocals and it won't sound as repetitive.
This actual song is not an instrumental. "No god" is a song with vocals in it. The video is a bonus clip from the bluray on their album for the fans.
have ever listen to X-Japan? You should check out their song Alive and Art of life, live at TOKYO DOME (only 30 minutes long)
You wanna see some insane bass, look up F Chopper Koga, her bands are Garcharic Spin and Doll$Boxx. Misa is great, but Koga is next level. TMargeret of 88Kasyo Junrei is something else too, some of the most inventive lines. The line in this song is straight bonkers czcams.com/video/SVz63DALQYM/video.html
Soooooooo Dean, where does this register on your "Prog-otometer"? To me it more is than isn't but my knowledge of this is pretty rough.
Their prog inclinations are organic and not obvious. If they near proginess, it seems to be by accident. They are just writing challenging music.
@@deanwolfechannel "Organic and not obvious" is a great way to put it. Like you said, you really have to listen several times to capture the different subtleties and elements. Some of the "Progress" disc songs on Unseen World really move deep into some of that "challenging" territory (Black Hole, Giovanni, H-G-K, Honkai, etc.).
@@deanwolfechannel I grok that. Thanks for helping me make sense of it.
no words... I mean no god..
MISA is just another SONG WRITER in the band. And, who else there are? Obviously, they are Mincho and Ahchan, and even Kotabo and Saichan. Band Maid is an organically, physically, and spiritually SINGLE BOY/ENTITY that can’r be torn apart. “Music by Band-Maid,” the credit printed on the CD packages, tells what I mean.
Where is the link to this original video? I can't find it anywhere. Someone help me please
Band Maid took it down. It's from a DVD.
They play very fast tempos!
No God maybe but definitely a Goddess !
Band-Maid needs a world tour at this point!! They don't quite have the resources and money of other groups.
Like Babymetal & maybe Scandal but damn this group just leaves me in complete 🙀!! I recommend "Domination" if you haven't already.
Kanami is really on a different planet & that drum solo lol. 🤯 Then you come across someone like Li-Sa-X who is like what 15 lol.
Along with the increadble Wagakki Band. You begin to realize here something seriously is in the sushi in Japan. Welcome to the Foxhole. 🦊 Rock On Ladies!! 🤘
wrt Band Maid, all the members are allowed to shine.
that's an angle I hadn't considered- yes
i've been listening to them since 2015, it's been that way since. there's very little focus on any single member, contrast that with Western b as nds whose focus tends to be the lead gu just tarist or singer. bands like Polkadot Stingray, Maximum the Hotmone, X Japan, Wagakki Band and Radwimps are other great examples of japanese bands who showcase everybody
It's because Kanami is such a great writer, imho, that they all "shine"
Someone call the police. Bass played with a pick?! OMG! Not approved.
Just kidding, cool video.
If police are near...she makes that pick vanish in a tenth of a second ;-)
