One of the fortunate things of following Babymetal's story is to see how many legends of metal are open minded and wholesome towards them even when they were a small, controversial act, some even picked fights for them like DragonForce, Metallica and Rob Zombie, in a way showing they didn't lose track of their roots and look forward for those making something new and fresh like they once did Not just Rob but other big time bands and names as well, like Korn, Lady Gaga and more have come to support them and their act as something for the next generation of metalheads to enjoy, it's a warming sense of community I mean, Slipknot has called them this year as one of the headliners in the LATAM Knotfest Tour for at least three countries, they've been friends since their earliest days in the West just like Rob here

I think most of that audience must of been experiencing Babymetal for the first time. There are those that immediately love it, those that immediately hate it (I'd argue a fair percentage of these folks are eventually won over) and those that are still trying to figure it out. There really is nothing else like Babymetal, they're brilliant and ahead of their time.

[@WaddupMatty]

You're not even wrong, but I always thought that was part of why metal was dope. You don't HAVE to always sound incredible, play flawlessly, or be a perfect performer. Metal is a genre that thrives on imperfection; it's a reflection of that intense, grimy, go-hard spirit that comes from not being the ideal, and loving it.

[@shawntco]

She absolutely was fangirling, you could tell by her body language and how she couldn't take her eyes off him. It's so cute! :3

[@wowl100]

I think you may be reading into things a bit too much. I agree she does look like she is having a great time, but, more likely reasons for that is that she is allowed freedom to sing the piece as she wants it to, along with not having to perform dance choreography. She walks around left and right on the stage whimsically. Gets to improvise too. The songs are less extreme and more rythmic groove types which she may also like more than the material she is required to perform in Babymetal. It's often fun to get to perform with someone else and interact on stage; doesn't matter so much who it is. Regarding Lob Halfold, I find it unlikely she is easily impressed or admiring of others in the same genre. She may not even be really into metal personally. BUT, Lob seems like a friendly easy going gentleman, who would be easy to respect and like working with, and that, I think, she does appreciate about being on stage with him. Compared to what she normally has to do, this is like a laid back, improvised-ish jam with friends where you get to do whatever you think is more fun. Fun times. Too much fun to care about how dead boring the audience is.

[@vortex162]

Mikko Granlund, reading your words and having listened to Su Metal in an interview past, where she expressed her dream of writing her OWN songs and music, rings true. What does that tell about Su Metall!!!!? that she can not create with creativity bubbling in her! That IS the problem of the music industry, make a Faustian deal and you can kiss your soul goodbye, artist become mere puppets on a string for "fistful of glamour", and that has devastating effects on their well being! I believe we've all seen it times and again!! I've observed a few songs of her latest performances and her demeanor has drastically changed as rather dramatically serious, Moa would led out a genuine smile with the occasional eye contact with someone in the audience! You summed it pretty much up with your comment and I can only agree! My sincere wish for these girls is, that they will be able to break loose and pursue who they truly are, as YUI in her statement already expressed, she wants to go as Mizuno YUI! The long time away gives a distance to the attachments and one begins to see things a bit more sober in the accompanying self reflection. It is a time when you get a sense of your own self again, and I can only commend YUI for that! If she really would have wanted to continue there would have been plenty of physical care provided just like for people who do sports, and the *show* would go on! My thinking therefore is, she had a profound realization and I'm glad she's going for it!

[@legitdeadly9162]

The unsung hero of this broadcast is how scary accurate Moa and Yui are at miming playing guitar. As a guitarist I can clearly see they arent actually playing those solos, but they are doing a good enough job (Moa especially) at it that I had to look twice. I am not entirely convinced they werent playing some of the easy parts, actually. During the main riff and chords, Moa is actually playing it, whether she is in the mix, doubt it, I only hear two guitars, but I can clearly see her hitting the correct notes (open 2nd 3rd on A and 1st 3rd on E, and correct locations for the power chords A5 C5 G5 and later F5 E5 and B5). She is also picking correctly in the right rhythm. She is using a 21 fret mini guitar. Every time she hits B5 or G5 shes halfway up the neck. (she does make an obvious mistake at 11:11, and goes WAYYY too high there. She hits fret 14/15 and the song never goes that high in rhythm, the highest is fret 12 in the G5 power chord, where she was at 11:10). But it is an incredibly easy song. Anyone I have taught guitar, this is one of the earliest ones I teach. They were definitely miming the solos and fills (which is where Moa made her mistake I think, she was trying to mime the fill before the slide), but I think they were actually trying to play the rhythm sections for real, Moa does in fact play guitar. Yui looked fairly accurate as well for the "easy parts" but was definitely miming more than playing. This whole thing start to finish is amazing, really.

Singing-- and music in general-- is a universal language. Ever wondered why artists like Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and Eric Clapton don't sound very neutral when they sing?

Idc if Babymetal if actually metal or not. The thing is that they actually succeeded in fusing two polarizing genre, metal with its dark undertone and j-pop/j-idol with its cheerful and bright tone, that alone is enough to warrant a respect.

Their whole choreographed dances combined with metal is who they are though. So many of people's favorite songs would feel so awkward without that.

orionzeden It's still kind of open to debate but the consensus is that it's mostly all mimed playing. They first met Rob last year at Rock on the Range actually.
