BABYMETAL - Headbanger (Legend 1997) | MADEIN93 FIRST REACTION / REVIEW

[@monkut]

I never understood why anyone would want to watch a recorded concert, until discovering babymetal.

[@tanewoodley9806]

Live Babymetal is the best Babymetal 😎

[@Ganimal83]

Facts, 💯

[@SynFuZe]

Muse live is also one hell of a treat

[@Grington300]

Great reaction. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday - but 15 has extra significance in Japan, that is the age compulsory education ends, so the girl is also realising she has to grow up now, life will never be the same. So she is etching this special night of her 15th birthday into her heart so she will never forget it.🤘🦊 There are some special performances of 'Headbanger'. In 2014 on or near their own 15th birthdays Yuimetal (in Paris) and Moametal (in Cologne) took over lead vocals when Su-metal handed them the mic and stand half way through the song. The same thing happened in 2019 for Moametal's 20th birthday and earlier this year on the day before Momometal's 21st birthday she took over lead vocals to mark the last day of her being 20.

[@zackamania63]

They also did an EDM dub step version during one of their earlier concerts

[@Grington300]

@@zackamania63 Yes they did that (the Night of 15 Re-Mix) twice - at Legend D for Su's 15th birthday and again at the start of Legend 1997.

[@dawnfallon6812]

MoMometal's version is something to listen to. She growls. It took me by surprise

[@ShaychanXG]

I love that you are into them this much. BABYMETAL is something else. Great reaction 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kylec1411]

From dusk til dawn, Shine, Road of resistance, Monochrome, Shanti shanti, all the babymetal is good. BxMxCx many rap fans love.

[@Filboid2000]

I totally agree with The One that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art and shouldn't be overlooked: Doki Doki Morning Iine! Megitsune Karate BxMxC Divine Attack (visualizer) メタり！！ (Metali!!) Keep rockin’ BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

[@boklahuoung]

Definitely watch their other live performances. You won't be disappointed.

[@jlow94]

just seen em for the first time live in person here in sf this past wednesday and headbanger was so fun to hear live! Road of Resistance in Japan next!

[@road-runner]

So, it was "Road of Resistance in SF" hehe... Sorry, I couldn't help it. Song's name is just "Road of Resistance". 😇 Congrats on your first time seeing them live! 🤘🦊

[@zackamania63]

I was there too! Babymetal is so much fun!

[@Ganimal83]

Nice. Great reaction! Babymetal always goes hard and gives it their all. Every performance, every show. Best live band out there. This show, “Legend 1997” is the Dec 2013 show for lead Su-metal’s 16th birthday. Suggestions: *Momobanger (Legend MM):* 3rd member Momomo’s 21st birthday special of this song, Mar 2024. *Road of Resistance (Official Live):* Something more epic than this song. 🤘🦊

[@defmeta]

I've never been a Babymetal fan, but damn this was extra af!

[@queenierani3076]

And you've never seen Death or Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of God intro yet

[@AlphazXG_]

Another big / unique Japanese group you might like is “Atarashii Gakko” I suggest reacting to their MVs Tokyo Calling, Otonablue, Suki Lie, and Toryanse. They were just at Coachella and there’s a clip of them dancing with Megan the Stallion lol

[@IAMisLove]

👍Great reaction. You have 4 more to experience. HeadBanger MV, MoaBanger, MomoBanger, YuiBanger. They are all special. 🦊🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤

[@zackamania63]

Also the EDM version

[@IAMisLove]

@@zackamania63👍 Yep, I have the 1997 concert on Blu-ray and just watched it again last night.🦊 🖖❤

_Hedoban hedoban!_ _Ban ban ban ban_ 🦊🤘🛐 Welcome back to the Foxhole. This song was part of the World Tour 2023/2024, everyone love this song and were having a blast with the girls headbanging real hard in the middle section instead of the usual bowing down on their knees or having fun with the cryo smoke gun. They did it a couple of days ago at San Francisco as part of Babyklok Tour along with Dethklok. Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! is one of BM fans favorite and got special meaning too. Song is about a 15 years old girl celebrating her birthday going to her first live concert, probably metal, while having melancholy for leaving her childhood behind. Isn't about any of our girls but they embraced this song like it was made for them, you'll find many special versions of this, even when they celebrate their 20th Birthday. 15 is an important coming of age for Japanese girls, 20 is another important date. You'll find many more special versions celebrating their birthday, such recently last month when the new official member MomoMetal did it at Legend MM, Yokohama Arena celebrating her "20 Night", we called it "MomoBanger", and the day after her "21 Night" with another different song. This was at Legend 1997 (that's the title of this live concert referring to SuMetal birthyear) in 2013 celebrating SuMetal 16th Birthday, and the whole concert was special, if you want to know the rest of the songs finishing this, those are: - "Akatsuki" Unfinished Version, a beautiful SuMetal solo version with only a piano behind, the original song is a power/speed metal balad - "Babymetal Death", be ready for this insane ending, Legend 1997 was an special live concert, and along with Legend 1999 celebrating Yui and MoaMetal birthday are tied together to represent the commitment of these girls with this group, a new rebirth. The live concert and also this song got plenty of tributes to the greatest metal bands, like Metallica and X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The statue behind is SuMetal resemblance and is a tribute to Metallica's Lady Justice. The official MV is also creepy for some fans, I guess the organ gave that effect, you'll also see the neckbrace there for the first time which is a tribute to Yoshiki from X-Japan. Another thing that you don't see so much here in their live performance is, when YuiMetal and MoaMetal are having fun with cryo or smoke gun, the choreography on this part is with them down on their knees and doing the "dogeza hedoban" which is like bowing down back and forth summoning the metal spirit represented by the neckbrace while SuMetal is standing with the mic rise up and her relentless death stare, that's another moment we called -NotACult- The Kami Band here are insane set of elite musicians who were send to help with the metal sound, "kami" means roughly "god", they're wearing burial white robes and corpse face paint to represent those spiritual entities. They rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (especially the guitarrists). They are: - Míkio Fujioka, god of guitar, a beloved member, sadly he passed away in 2018. (R.I.P.), he's the one doing that sick solo. - Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording some albums tracks. - BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but her fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP. You can see at the end (when SuMetal is crawling upstairs) his head got written "Happy Birthday". - Hideki Aoyama,, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father is very famous in Japan music scene. During recent World Tour 2023/2024 they got another complete different set of musicians, we called them Western Kami Band, they've been playing with them since 2019, so the Kami Band musicians aren't official members and the girls are the only front women of this group. Next suggestion: - Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischief Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014 See you next time.🦊🤘🔥

[@Popskull-yl9gn]

I think you are the only reactor that catches "that's not enough". My favorite part of this song.

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 This song is about a girl going to a heavy concert on her 15th birthday. Su recorded this when she was 14 years old. The footage is from LEGEND 1997, held the night after her 16th birthday. She was born December 20th, 1997.

Broooo Momo's performance was legendary. Check that one out later if you can.

[@rrahl]

Love watching you react to them live, they are just fantastic, and it's a privilege to get to watch someone new discover and enjoy their work. Look forward to more, and yes live is almost always the way to go with them, just fair warning - it can get quite unique. Since you mentioned the mic - they pay homage to many bands in their music/set/costume/dance. The mic is homage to Freddy Mercury. *Edit* and a suggestion: this is the specific performance that hooked me on them for good, link added for convenience if you want it.

[@ksbrst2010]

Totally normal for Babymetal. According to Su she prefers to shock her audience from time to time. It always us and was one of their most shocking titles. And they put a lot of additional elements into the shows like Freddy Mercurys Microphone Stand. The neck protector of X-Japan. All Elements that made metal for them more accessable and lowered their fears.

[@rachaelraejohn149]

Like I can say , I love all there song 😂😂😂 my therapy at work place

[@EmeraldRich]

I loved the reaction. I will most definitely put more video requests for BABYMETAL later in the discord. Let me know if you want the videos made for KZbin reactions. The difference between those videos and regular performance videos is that it has see through overlay to avoid copyright. If you pause a couple times when watching their performances, you should be fine though. Then, if you ever want a video explaining the lore behind BABYMETAL, I can link it but it is around 40 minutes long. I would say the video is worth it because it explains before BABYMETAL was started to April 1, 2024 which is Fox Day in the BABYMETAL community.

[@zackamania63]

Check out Doki Doki Morning featuring Metalverse! The performance is a masterpiece!

If you wanna listen to the OG rock king of Japan, check out HYDE. He’s got stuff from other bands since the 90s and he goes hard. Personally I think you can’t go wrong with choosing so have at it XD
