"I don't really like that type of change"
Band-Maid : "Yes, you do"
Haha!
Not gonna lie, u got us at first half 😂😂
lol
I love this comment.... so perfect😉😁
One of the most astonishing things about band maid is that both musicians and non-musicians are blown away by them.
Plenty of people can write super technical and complicated stuff that non-musicians will not like.
I always like it when people recognize the complexity of their song composition and arrangement. I often describe it as dense. I also think the way they layer the beautiful and catchy vocal melodies over the songs is genius. It really ties all the craziness together.
Not all BAND-MAID songs are as complex, but I can confidently say that all of them are good. They are a great band that should not be ignored.
I'm 60 years old. My first vinyl rock records included Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced). Kanami is the most interesting guitarist that I have heard since Jimi, both in terms of her amazing guitar work and her ability to write so many good songs. This entire band, to me, is one one of the best bands on the planet. World class musicians.
I put her 2nd behind only Jimi. Agree with all that.
MISA, MISA, MISA, the most indescribable bass tone in the universe, greetings from Brazil.
IMO, the best rock 'n' roll band on the planet right now. They've reignited this 60 year old guy's love of rock music. Cheers from the UK.
I agree whole-heartedly. I would not want to peg Band-Maid into a genre because their sound is so unique. But they have revived the spirit of hard rock that lives inside of me while creating something completely fresh and new.
Writhing songs that are musically more complicated than they "need" to be while still sounding catchy is one of the things I really like about them.
Giovanni and Warning are perfect examples of this. I'm not really into that kind of music and prefer slower songs that can breath like Chemical Reaction, After Life and Manners, and yet, Warning and Giovanni are 2 of my favorites on the album.
What I love about this bass player is how she curls the pick into her index finger when she slaps and pops. The switching is so fast, like slight of hand.
Magician Maid🤔
I thought that's what she was doing after b bit. I'm going to have to try that. Blending those techniques is brilliant.
@@RyanMear If you slow down playback at the times the camera is focusing on a MISA part you may catch it as she does it. She is both really quick, and very sure. The 2018 live instrumental Onset has a good closeup. I don't want to spoil a good reaction song I think you will like so just watch the 3-4 seconds from where I link it. The lead guitarist appears to use the same technique when she plays a tapping part but I don't know of a closeup that shows her making the switch.
czcams.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/video.html
I do the same when playing guitar and then tapping, NEVER thought of using it with bass!
yeah, that's Band-Maid alright: impossible band plays impossible music. Forget about genres, it's already classic on its own.
Band-Maid is the genre... !
The Establishment: "MISA, the bass is not supposed to be a lead instrument!"
MISA: ...
MISA: ...
MISA: ... (sips whiskey)...
MISA: ...
The Establishment: ....ok, whatever you think is right...
This wasn’t even one of my favorites from their new album but now I’m absolutely in love with it. But once they play this for a live audience it’s gonna be epic. That’s a pretty big jump from Thrill to No God :)
I just picked one at random! I picked good
@@RyanMear It's quite hard to find a bad band-maid song. Many have tried. Most stopped at song 30 and became Maidiacs.
Same here.
They are awesome and Kanami is a freaking songwriting genius! She uses so many different genres even in one song, so that it is like a genre on it´s own. Together with the great musicianship and technique on their instruments it´s just mindblowing! I´ve seen a lot of bands in my life (living in Germany, A LOT of festivals for rock and metalfans) and i´ve never came across an more talented band.
MISA is one of the best bass players right now and together with Akane they are the best rhyhtm section, not one of the bests, THE BEST in my humble opinion. Have a good one!
Cool, thanks!
PO Rock 🤘
Your smiles and laughing says it all ! Band Maid brining the joy of music to the world since 2013 !
fire...completely blown away...I've got to experience it live.
they are amazing live...have been there once and have already experienced, and I know what I am talking about.
Yay! Nice reaction!
I call this song a perfectly structured chaos- It's just BAND-MAID doing BAND-MAID thing!
Yessir. I’m a 40 year bass player. Misa makes me want to sell all my equipment. Have fun with the Band Maid catalog
They play every genre sometimes all in the same song . This band has a hold on me that no other band has since zeppelin u2 pearl jam they are amazing and incredible
As a musician of 56 plus years, I found Band-Maid back in 2014. They had a problem with their management company, because they wouldn't put any of their own music on their albums. The song "Alone" is the first song the company let them put their own material on a album. Band-Maid took off after that. They have a new management company now and they let them control their own music and pretty much control their own destiny. Band-Maid was created by Miku Kobato the rhythm guitar player, she is the main lyricist. The lead guitarist Kanami Tono writes and composes all their own music. Akane the drummer and Misa the Bass player both went to the same prestigious Japanese music school together. I have every CD that they have and they don't do the same thing with their music. In my opinion you won't find a better band on the planet today IMHO.
Cool, thanks for the info!
When I tell people Band Maid is the best band in decade's, I am telling the truth!
Great reaction!
🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
best since early 90s fo sho! ♥
*I’m so envious of you!* Starting off your *BAND-MAID* journey 😊
Great reaction Ryan! Band-Maid's composition is something else, and MISA is a hidden diamond. There are so many songs to pick from, but going by your preference, I would suggest the following:
* Why why why - Another song with controlled chaos. The vocal arrangement is one of the best in the entire Band-Maid's catalogue.
* Giovanni - The closest Band-Maid has gotten to prog rock.
* Onset Live - An ethereal instrumental. MISA has a cool pick to slap action in the middle of the song.
To be honest, you can never go wrong with any Band-Maid songs, but you got to start somewhere.
Unique suggestions, awesome!
Thanks for the suggestions👍🤘
Hidden diamond, I like that, all razor sharp edges, lurking in the dark, bass at the ready, when you let your grade down, she pounces and kills it. Our lovely barefoot assassin. MISA MISA MISA
Okay, so it sounds like you're a Band Maid 2021-style sort of guy. Plenty to go in their catalogue, a lot just as layered, but many of the compositions on their latest album 'Unseen World' might be the ones in your wheel-house. Kanami, the lead guitar, is the prodigious riff machine that manages to arrange those perfectly fitting layers - then drummer Akane and bassist Misa add their own flair to the composition. Enjoy the ride.
Welll.... you were absolutely right!
Still one of the best reactions ever.
As an old school musician who has heard his fair share of bands of all genres. I can confidently say I would place the Band-Maid rythm section up against any band from any era with these Maidens on top.
With their latest album release it appears the Maidens decided to show everyone how progressive rock is done. Take some notes guys they are only scratching the surface. This band needs to be illuminated just so they can stay alive as long as possible,. They are to valuable to the world of music.
I've heard so many people mentioning other Japanese female bands. I agree they are all amazing and have incredibly skilled musicians, but band-maid sound is different, I can't articulate how. Some people disagree with me, but I've listen to so many bands of all genres and still find them unique.
I believe all maidiacs would know what I mean.
@@lurkmerchant Yeah! I agree they have a unique sound that is entirely their own. Band-maid has been grouped with many other Japanese all female groups but I believe it is not due to their musical similarities but similarities of Nationality, gender and they all have amazingly talented world class musicians that play various forms of aggressively heavy music. They all have their own positive qualities which is undeniably impressive in their own way.
But I believe what separates Band-Maid from those others is Songwriting and the Tone they have crafted from their gear. Many underestimate Tone and sound engineering and is often overlooked as far a I'm concerned it is vitally important piece to the equation, it lends to that bands overall signature sound and most of all a sound that resonates to others who hear it. And as far as tone goes Misa's Bass tone is exceptional.
As important as tone is what truly separates Band-Maid from the others is their Songwriting. And primary songwriter and Lead Guitarist Konami is the architect and musical genius behind those songs. Since she and her band mates are not inhibited or limited by their musical abilities so they have free reign to incorporate virtually any style of music into their own musical DNA. And their DNA has the Best elements of Hard Rock, Metal, Funk, Punk, Grunge, Jazz and Pop all of which forms a uniquely yet familiar tune filled with various catchy Pop-like hooks where even language does not become a barrier.
Also I feel many bands that have multiple members the posses next level musical skills tend to over play and cannot formulate their songs where a melody would stick in someone head. Usually those type of bands EGO becomes a problem and their demise. But with Band-Maid it is quite the opposite their tunes make room to highlight each members talent in a way that enhances the tune without taking away from the hook. I often find myself saying wow that song seemed it was over too soon and find it was 4 plus minutes long. They have mastered the art of leaving you wanting more.
Akane/MISA, those two have the same chops as the classics, Bruford/Squire... Moon/Entwistle... Bonzo/Jones... Peart/Lee
@@lurkmerchant the fun fact is people usually compare them to Lovebites, Babymetal and stuff, when they are clearly not the same genre. One can like this or that genre or band but if we talk about rock B-M has no pair today.
Although it's difficult to give B-M a genre because they change and mix them like nothing and it always sounds fresh, so yeah I'd also say "unique" is the best word to describe them. While other bands stick to their main genre Band-Maid is experimenting with music itself. Shit, if Ms. Tono decided to make a country-rock song I bet my kidney she'd do it amazing. All that and more is why they are the best band ever in my honest opinion 🤘
@@lurkmerchant On a 1 to 10 1 being worst 10 being best I give them a 20
Their new album has many like this song. This album actually took me some getting used to. It's a lot more busy than previous, but the more I listen the more I love it. There's a few that stick out. Manners is very strait forward bluesy classic rock. Black Hole is like an mad genius experiment. Chemical Reaction is super hard rock fantastic-ness. But they have so many great songs. My best of Band-Maid Spotify favorites play list is 25 songs and growing!
Awesome, thank you!
Simply put, the best live rock band on the planet.
I was smiling ear-to-ear when I heard you remark about the bass player and I knew there was a bass solo coming up. The look on your face was priceless.
Crazy huh how young talented musicians like them bringing something really really creative awesome songs
It's hard to pay attention to the vocals with them because their musicianship is insane. The lead singer has improved so much though and just keeps sounding better and better every time.
And when you consider that Jimmy Page really rates the drummer !
I love that I can relive how I felt the first time I heard these songs by watching you videos 🤘🏼🎸🔥
In Japan, such things as an awesome bassist in very common. MISA definitely on high tier bassist.
The bassist, MISA, uses her own hybrid playing technique. Both pick and fingers. She tucks the pick in her index finger and plucks then it’s right back, seamlessly without missing a single note. She gets whatever tone and feel she wants for a composition. The rhythm guitarist/vocalist, Miku, is the lyricist and the lead guitarist, Kanami, is the principle
composer.💪🏻🤘🏻
Very very awesome
@@RyanMear
Forgot to mention the band was formed by Miku in 2013 while she was still a frustrated idol pop singer/singing waitress in a maid cafe. THEN afterwards realized she had to have her guitarist teach her how to
play!💪🏻🤘🏻
How she puts basslines together, kind of reminds me of early primus. Playing rhythm parts and some lead whilst playing the bassline as well,
either in sync with the proper lead and rhythm guitars or going freestyle.. BUT ALWAYS IN FLOW/TIME💪🎶😎🐱👤🐱👤🐱👤🐱👤🐱👤🥃
To be fair I have seen her drop it once, but it was for a good reason .... Misa must have forgotten She had it "Cribbed" and reached for some Jim Beam :)
@@Greish-esquire Good one, mate！lol
There is an instrumental version of this song (ie sans vocals) floating around on the interwebs. This song does just as well as an instrumental.
I saw that they have that with some songs.... very cool
Dude I can't stop smiling at how happy he is watching Band-Maid!
You have pretty much "bookend-ed their career..... like a sandwich. Thrill is the bottom bread, No God is the top slice..... And I promise you with 100+ songs.... It is a F?%king tastey sandwich. Their music is diverse. and common, and unique and different and what ever...... So great.
Thank you great reaction. More Band Maid please.
First listen 'I am not a big fan of ...' Second listen 'Never mind, I like it.' Happens a lot with Band-Maid music.
Every few months I re-watch this one. It seems odd to see Ryan's walls without all of the Band-Maid posters.
MISA’s bass play is just fantastic! If We can imagine the best bass players in the rock history, she will be one of the best!
Agreed
It's a Band-Maid sound.
Everytime it's like a new cocktail. 🍹
"2021 The Year of the Maid"......We have got to win!!!
And if we can't help them win fairly....cheat :)
The Bassist's name is Misa, and she's known as the "barefoot assassin" since she slays while playing barefoot. You'll also notice a bottle of whiskey on top of her amp if you look, she loves to drink some whiskey/beer while performing. I've been listening to rock music my entire life, and this is currently my favorite band by far. You have a lot to look forward to, but I'll recommend you listen to "Warning" or "Manners" next.
Thanks for the information and suggestion b🤘👍🤘
The way Misa switches from pick to slap is so slick and then put that with her sense of rhythm and melody it makes her my favourite bassist.
Such a damn good song. Its like all over the place but in a good way. Totally organized chaos that keeps you wanting more.
As for the bassist, MISA. She always seems to be playing almost like a lead bass roll. Much how the drummer is constantly adding in additional fills, MISA is adding extra to any gaps or additional bits to compliment the lead guitar. Shes just insane on that bass.
2:53... the moment you can tell Ryan is officially in love with this band.
The bassist is all over their new album. On one of their songs, I still seek revenge, she essentially is serving as the lead guitar. Play and Dice are a couple of songs on their channel where she is very prominent
New to your channel,nice reactions, yes Misa is the bass assassin,being 70 years old,Misa is the best I've ever heard.
No God = Oh My God
You should check out Onset that is instrumental.
MISA MISA MISA!
Kanami, the lead guitarist, also writes the songs; Miku, the 2nd guitarist, writes the lyrics; Saiki, the vocalists, usually directs and has the final say on many decisions; Akane (A-Ka-Nay) is one of the best rock drummers in the business with her relentless drive, fluid dynamics and the kick. And MISA is rather unique with her alternating pick & slap style with up & down (the neck) runs that not only drive the songs, but adds a counter lead to Kanami's main riffs and solos. But you're right, Ryan. Band-Maid has so much talent, personality and creativity that we're lucky to have such a prolific and joyful band (over 100 songs) in our lives. If you haven't yet, try to catch them live!
Love your reaction! And envy you that you have not discovered other great songs Band-maid can offer.
Yeah, I'll be diving in!
You: What songs next reaction? If you ask this way, then the whole album! All songs are great! Thats not a joke.
I need to correct myself... ALL songs they ever done are good. I can not remember a bad one.
post scriptum: I personally like the bass in the song Moratorium. Check it.
Moratorium is my all time favorite band-maid song so far. Heavy rock, bit of metal, fairly proggy at the same time, Akane's various drum fills, chorus beginning on off-beat, and Misa's bass of course.
Miku's whisper is an icing on a cake. 💘
sound like motorhead ace of spades...yup they are so talented...the lead guitariast compose the song .... lots of crazyness in a song the riff are amazing
8:05 lmao look at Akane here. she's smiling like a little kid playing a toy drum. my heart can't take it! >_
In most bands, the drum and bass are the foundation of the song. In Band-Maid it is only the rhythm guitar, everyone else is given the freedom to meander and do crazy you know what. Somehow each girl knows their part and when to pull back and support the rhythm guitar and when to cut loose. Everyone is given a moment to shine. And with all that going on somehow the vocalist just plows through. This band is made of five pillars and cannot exist without each one. Their songs are self written and Kanami (lead guitarist) writes them. If you would like to hear one of their ballads react to "About Us". It is about their separation from their fans during the lockdown.
Misa uses both a pick and slaps, when she is slapping she tucks the pick in her index finger and effortlessly switches back and forth during songs.
Has it been 11 months? This is so much fun to re-watch.
totally agree - its awesome to rewatch - to see it change him
Great reaction to this lovely song. I love just about everything that this band has done (and it's diverse af), but a few songs of theirs just continued to grow on me the more I listened to them, like this one. This song just stayed interesting to me long after a song usually does. Kanami (lead guitarist and the band's composer) mentioned that the song was about "freedom," although I'm unsure if she meant musical freedom or the general kind (I'm inclined toward the former because she is quite the music nerd (in the best sense)).
Out of the faster more progressive songs on "Unseen World" i know "Black Hole" is a lot of Maidiacs fave but "No God" transitions are so smooth :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yeah, I feel the same about No God. Black Hole is a really fun song, but among their more progressive tracks Giovanni grew on me more. :)
@@drogonr9318 You're right. And the "Giovanni" instrumental somehow sounds totally different too without saiki & Miku's layered vocals :)
So I'm strong through old comments......
Yeah the change into the chorus is still throwing me for a loop even after 4 months. 🤣 This is from their latest album and is definitely among their more chaotic/crazy songs. Most of their songs sit somewhere in between the two songs you've listened to so far on the craziness scale.
Band-Maid have said they watch reaction videos and this is one I hope that they'll see. I feel they're in a bit of a hard spot because they want to continue to please the fans of their older stuff, but at the same time they have said over and over that they want to keep pushing themselves. I hope videos like this -- full of genuine, enthusiastic appreciation of the craft they've put on display here -- will help to give them confidence that they can succeed in this space, that they can please fans and gain new ones, and help encourage them to see how far they can go.
Great reaction! Thank you! A channel just uploaded one of many favorite BM songs - Puzzle live. It’ll probably get blocked so take listen on your own and please share your take on it. Seems one of their old labels too down many of their older stuff.
The World famous Maids are always bringing it for their fans
one of the only things good about being stuck at home during the Pandemic, is discovering these awesome bands like Nightwish, Band Maid & Spiritbox.
Akane´s intro and MISA´s playing is EPIC!!! Please check out the instrumental version of this song!
I really like this band, I wish I spoke Japanese so that I could have that better connect with song vocals. but they still kick ass. Such talented band.
This song sorts the wheat from the chaff in 'reactors'. Thanks for your insights :-)
In concert Saiki is a real dark Queen on the stage she has an insane natural perfetct pitch
Nice reaction. Subscribed and looking forward for your next Band Maid reaction.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 is a Badass Bass Assassin, listening 1st and lyrics translation 2nd is the best way to react too Band-Maid 🤙🏼😉 Wait until you see them in person. I've seen Band-Maid play twice here in LA and the experience is 10 times better than what you are experiencing right now. MISA'S fluid motion of using the pick and slapping within the same song is flawless.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Still 1 more time than me. I'm not jealous, i'm just turning a shade green :)

Man.... The SOUND of that Bass!
That was a great reaction to one unbelievable song. Band Maid is phenomenal- I am so pleased that somebody as knowledgeable as yourself thinks so too. Thanks for making this video.
Whether Misa together with her 'Black Smoker' is the best of them all, I can't say of course, as I certainly haven't heard them all. But I am quite sure that she is right up there with even the most famous names. And to be fair, the same has to be said about Kanami with her guitar and Akane on the drums. 😇 This song is a fun ride. 🤘🏻
【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️
I see that Bass behind you 👀
MISA, also known as the Barefoot Assassin, is one of the most creative and consistent bassist I've listened to in a long while. Keep checking out Band-Maid, they have so many great songs, a great story as a band and they deserve some spotlight cause they are incredibly talented 🤘🖤
Super nice reaction! 😆👍🔥
from Japan.
Super nice band!
@@RyanMear
Thank you so much..😃
That was epic, hahahahaha!!! Great reaction, got me excited all over again, ha!
Misa is a pure work of art, and I can't think that Billy wouldn't appreciate her artistry too! An excellent band, through and through, I've been listening and following their progress since about 2016, and it's a rare thing to be able to say that they've never done a single song that I've not liked. Even the ones I expected to be quite easily generic in execution carry that special Band Maid spice of soul and depth to them.. a kind of honesty that comes through in the work and raises the bar.
What to check out next? Depends on what you're in the mood for. Punk - "Warning"; Prog Punk - "Different"; Pop Punk - "Choose Me"; Old School Heavy Metal - "Rinne"; Hard Rock - "Afterlife"; Groove - "Bubble"; Classic Rock - "Manners"; Power Ballad - "Daydreaming"; All of the above - "Blooming". Enjoy!
Great reaction mate , yeah the bass is awesome, what a talented band.
Legitimately the best band on Earth
Ryan, you're in for the ride of your life. Band-Maid is awesome. The rhythm section kills on all songs. Misa is aptly named the "barefoot assassin". Akane is a beast on the drums. Try Official Live Videos, Onset-Live, Domination-Live, Freedom-Live, Play-Live. MV's Warning, Dice, Rinne, Blooming. 100% guaranteed. Peace.
From this point on Ryan changed. Look at his channel now. 💪
It is fkn incredible to witness this band!
Yep -- the way you're reacting is exactly how I react to ALL their songs. I have not geeked out over a band since the 80s! THE EIGHTIES!
You cannot go wrong with any of their songs -- but if you want to have your face melted by Misa's bass, check out "Dice." If you want to see Akane, the drummer, strut more of her stuff, check out the live version of "Freedom".
OH -- you should check out their April Fools videos (which are NOT jokes at all), BAND-MAIKO - "Goin-cho". Every year, they release an April Fools video of them doing something cool. BUT -- in 2021, we did not get BAND-MAIKO. We got Cluppo - "Peace and Love". You definitely need to react to that.
Thank you!
'I love the bass player' - get in line there buddy ;)
This was only the second song I ever heard! I had no idea!
I really enjoyed your reaction 👌🏻
MISA is also my favorite bass player and she's so fast when she's switching from pick to fingers to pick. She's a real prestidigitator!
It's funny that you were talking about Billy Sheehan because he plays the bass parts on the song "One More Chance Is Enough" by the japanese band Li-sa-X BAND. The leader of the band is the japanese prodigy guitarist Li-sa-X (she was 15 years old when the song was recorded last year) who already played with great guitarists like Martin Friedman or Paul Gilbert. Check out the song when you have time ;)
Thanks!
Just saw this and of course had to look up prestidigitator - and I must say, that is the perfect word. Always like learning a new word so thank you, 2abug!
Oh for a second I thought you meant I said that.....I was like "um....."
@@RyanMear Ha!
The Bass Player MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly!
From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right?
(Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick.
(Chris): Show me how.
(Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm.
(Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how)
(Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever.
(Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awesome!
(Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice.
Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps
Yes we all get goose bumps after listening to BAND MAID!!!
"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)
Oh! Wow
It's interesting go back to see you fall into the pigeon hole step by step!
It sure ain't no verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus end. Their arrangements are stellar and are like this in every song pretty much. On top of that, this is live, just no physically present audience, but a lot of on-line fans. They would need a huge venue to fit them all in. Who knows, this might be their future, live real audience shows with an online component for the rest of the world. I'd be fine with that!
Great reaction, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time and you clearly really enjoyed it. For me what’s makes band-maid stand out is the song writing. Like, there’s a ton of great musicians better than these women. Bands of musicians that are better on their instruments. But band-maid has the ability to show case their talent, do some wild and even chaotic stuff at times while still making catchy fun songs. Like songs you wanna hear again and again. And that’s the key to their success to me. They something for everyone, for the casual listener and the music geeks.
Absolutely. I will say spade a spade. There are musicians who are better than Kanami, Misa or even Akane. When I see some Jazz bassists out there, or Senri Kawaguchi or even those two girls in Lovebites, yeah it true what you say. But, I still love Band-Maid more than any other bands. Their songs really touch me. It's often kind of dangerous to start listening to one of their songs because then I have to listen to more than one. Their songs are so addicting. And I will use up a lot of time when I need to do other things like go to sleep at night.
@@fastskipper777 Yea for sure, I wasn’t taking anything away from them by saying that. But rather saying their strength is in the song writing. But they’re still top notch technically speaking. But simply being technically better of course dose not mean you’ll get better songs. Hell, I’ll take the Misfits of Dream Theatre any day lol.
As we can see....I agree with you!
MR.Ryan いつも素敵なコメントありがとう thank you so much nice reaction every time!
今年は有観客でこれが聞けます
全員すごい このスピ－ド感が私にとっては、とても心地よいです。

I hope you get a chance to see them!
Thanks so much! I got ticket at osaka city. I can`t wait.
Ryan, I'm having a hard time telling if you enjoyed that. On a serious note, this band ROCKS! Oh and Misa, Misa, Misa!
got the goosebumps too^^
Thanks Ryan!
You're welcome!
"You kiddin' me!? Holy Shit! ...oh my god... ". I miss this kind of reaction... lol... but that's what happens when you aren't shocked and surprised, anymore, at what they can do. Can't believe it's been 3 years since you found Band-Maid.
Yeah... Ya only get those once
The way that I know this band is amazing is that I don't care if I don't understand the lyrics. It just doesn't matter with regards to how great the song is.
There is indeed a lot going on. Thanks...
The drummer does so much with so little. She gives drummers with monster drum kits such as Neil Peart of Rush (RIP Neil) Daniel Carey of Tool, What his name from Metallica. Those people are dinosaurs. So many drummers today have small drum kits and are doing so much more with them. I look at drummers with these huge drum kits and they actually look comical.
When I was a young shit drummer I wanted a giant drum kit with 2 bass drums and 6 toms.
Now I'm an old shit drummer all I can carry round is an undersized jazz kit
@@williamb4652 This guy is what got me thinking about massive kits verses the basics. czcams.com/video/aWR1h-5EzUo/video.html
Ive come to the conclusion she basically fills the same roll Flea does but she has her tine waaaaay mor diled in. On top of that she's willing to learn and use any and every style/approach to fill her part. Would love to know what flea could do with more than 4 strings outside of chickenfoot but MISA knew what tools were required to hang with this outfit.
Ok I have to add this to my first comment. The bass player makes Geddy Lee from Rush sound like a beginner. I was and still am to some extent a Rush fan.
