BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare live - Old Guy Reaction

[@docmetal8194]

Sugoi! 16 year old Su-metal KILLING IT!!! Only she could front a band that great... Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

[@michelm.6033]

I agree. Variety is the spice of life. Album to album, song to song, and even within a song. It’s hard to find another group that mixes it up as well as Babymetal.

[@CanaldoPortador]

Their greatest asset has always been the versatility, how they manage to balance and combine many different, sometimes opposite aspects to create synergy!

[@martinmetal7481]

Great reaction. I knew your friend would like it when he said he likes a melody and clear vocals he can understand. Su at 16 is fantastic, and she only gets better with age. Keep the good work up promoting BabyMetal by introducing your friends to them 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@MacTaipan]

I have been a metalhead for about 35 years now, and I too have grown tired of constant aggression in music. I like melodic, dynamic music. And BABYMETAL is perfect in that regard. The cute and poppy parts in their songs are beautiful by themselves, but they also make the heavy parts feel much more intense. In the same vein, I usually don't like growls, but the way BABYMETAL use them, sparingly at the right time and more like an effect, I can really appreciate them.

[@mmm_Arg]

te gusta la cumbia, dude?

[@sonof97-mv2ey]

​@@mmm_Argexiste mucho del metal relacionado con la cumbia

[@CanaldoPortador]

Heck yes! Great explanation and I couldn't agree more!!! A constant explosion of growling always runs the risk of becoming dull very very quickly, like an exercise that you start and end on maximum weight, you don't have progression. But when you can alternate between the calm and the storm, every blast hits 10x harder. And this applies to all metal music, jot just them. It's incredible how they manage to create synergy out of this balance, going back and forth, both at the same time as well and trying new combinations too, it makes it all sound more fresh and heavier!

[@crimson0119]

Kamiband : We're gonna blow your minds with our awesome solos! Sumetal : Hold my matcha latte.... Love watching Hideki in this, when they pan to him in the beginning, he looks like he's just casually drumming and not responsible for the pounding in the solo. Most singers might get intimidated having to follow the spectacular performance by the Kamiband, but 16yr old Su just gets up there, and shows you why Babymetal was built around her. 🤘🦊🤘

[@dantheman9228]

Only Su could follow that intro by the kami band,i love it when they let the guys just rip it up if you want to see more of the guys ripping it up Babymetal Death legend 1997 live. 🦊

[@jakemuller8626]

Welcome back to the Foxhole.🦊🤘🔥 Glad to see you're back with another guest and introducing BM with this suggestion over a song composed by YuppeMetal (aka Yuyoyuppe), you'll hear more songs from him, he's also behind "Karate", the arrangements of Megitsune (another must watch) and more new songs from latest album like Monochrome and Believing. Akumu No Rondo combines not only heaviness with dark waltz and dope time signatures changes but also delicate and fragile beautiness that makes you want to grab your inception kit and go to rescue this 16 yo queen from this nightmare. Temporarily title song was "* The Alice" so is like Alice but instead of Wonderland she's trapped in a nightmare trying to escape and avoid some evil entity. Rondo is a musical form in which you can hear a repetitive pattern, you can hear an example of this in the song "Blue Rondo a la Turk". The Kami Band is doing their second magnificent intro of the night with their own set called "Mischiefs Of Metal Gods". They become regular after this special live at Budokan 2014 and leaving baby-bones, from early shows, behind, shout-out to them thou. You already know them from your previous reaction, such Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars, BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. This was the day (night) after the first live premiere of this song and she's dancing and performing like she already did a dozen times before, like a pro. Also she's showing some fierceness here dancing on that high dangerous mini stage with no wire and that's how she keeps winning everyone's heart. But not everything was perfect here despite their impeccable performance and sound, and the day before the girls face that dangerous challenge on the stage, taking their own revenge after coming back in 2021 to celebrate their 10 years and leaving those ghosts behind, fortunately. Like i said, YuppeMetal is the one behind this song and he took inspiration from "Protest The Hero - Bloodmeat" song, of course i recommend you to hear that blaster song. Thanks for sharing this wonderful SuMetal solo and my favorite along with "Akatsuki" The other solos are great too and those are: - No Rain No Rainbow live at Legend S 2017 - Amore live at Wembley Arena 2016. And of course the rest of the girls under a subgroup called "Black Babymetal" are enjoyable too, they're taking a break here while SuMetal is performing to come back later, so don't miss out their other 4 songs too like: - "Onedari Daisakusen" live at Legend 1997, Gans Tomas got that clip safe to react. - "Song 4" or "4 No Uta" live at Budokan 2014. - "GJ!" live at Wembley Arena 2016 - "Sis Anger" live at Tokyo Dome 2016". Next suggestion: - METALIZM official MV, don't worry about being blocked, none of the new singles at official are getting any trouble. See you next time.🦊🤘🔥

[@dudleysmith4394]

Metal with a glass of red wine is a joy for grown-ups!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。"Rondo" is a musical form with a recurring leading theme. I can't tell how many times I have viewed this video. It is literally a rondo of happy dream for me. Kamis' (=Gods') super solos were excellent enough as a main event in the show, but once the 16-year-old Queen (as of 2014) emerged from the underground, she colored everything differently with her penetrating voice then turned Kami Band's plays into a ritual to summon her. Please tell your old friend the following : BABYMETAL is the best musical phenomenon I have ever experienced in my 67-year-long life. (Before BM, I was a stubborn jazz / funk lover) We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

[@Grington300]

Great reaction and good job introducing your guests to BABYMETAL. 🦊🤘This was one of Su-metal's solo songs (Yuimetal and Moametal were getting a break from all the dancing back stage). The Kami band's instrumental intro is called 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods'. Yes they have 2 lead guitars. In order of solos they were Leda Cygnus (blue guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (gold guitar), BOH (6 string bass) and Hideki Aoyama (drums). There can't be many 16 year olds who could follow that intro and then just take over the whole stage and arena the way Su-metal did. Su-metal can make you feel the emotion of a song even if you don't speak a word of the language, but as your guest was curious and is a lyric guy, 'Rondo of Nightmare' is possibly the darkest of their songs lyrically. I understand rondo is a musical term denoting a repeated theme - something like that anyway. I believe they borrowed the term for the title of this song as Su is caught in a recurring nightmare, being chased through the darkness by something she can't see. Eventually she hides, but it is still coming closer. Knowing there is no escape she asks that if she is to die won't it at least reveal itself to her. This is one of 4 Su-metal solos, two on each of the first two albums. The others are 'Akatsuki', 'Amore' and 'No Rain, No Rainbow'. Yui and Moa would get a break while Su performed those - Su would get a break when Yui and Moa performed one of their duets - they were called Black BABYMETAL for those and they also had two on each of the first two albums (4 No Uta' or Song 4, Onedari Daisakusen', 'GJ' and 'Sis Anger').

[@しーちゃんの使徒]

The performance by the band solo is great. However, as soon as the vocal appears and starts singing, everyone gasps at her beauty and recognizes that she is the protagonist.❤ BABYMETAL was created to make use of her talent in 2010(When she was 13 years old) by the largest listed entertainment company in Japan. I think you guys should conquer Queen's 4 solo songs. 😁 ①Akatsuki ②No rain no rainbow ③Rond of nightmare(finished) ④Amore

[@autohmae]

Strictly speaking, the Babymetal name is 2 fold: it's a play on words, in Japanese they pronounce and write Babymetal and Heavy metal the same way: hebimetal and bebimetal. And it's a birth of a new genre. It's not about the age or their voices. Kobametal said the name came to him by a vision or something along those lines. 🙂

[@actuallynotsteve]

I paid more for Babymetal tickets this month than I've ever paid for any other concert ever, and I've seen 1000s of sets of bands I legit loved and had CDs of, and it was worth every cent. Took my former bandmate to see it and asked him to go in blind, and he was definitely like "whatever dude, I'm just doing this because we're friends" to being somebody I caught looking them up on Spotify and asking me if they've always been as fucking good as what we just saw. Would do it again in a heartbeat, I went through a similar arc. Went for free and was like "whatever it'll be OK I guess" to "holy shit was that the best show I've ever seen!?" in the course of like 90 minutes, without warning.

[@stitchgor3]

So cool!

[@PLF...]

To me it depends which band is with them, I can't help but be somewhat disappointed if the Kami Band is not there

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reaction and nice job introducing a friend to the foxhole. This is the performance that put Babymetal over the top for me. Su's stage presence here is outstanding. I didn't know as much about them as I do today. Su is the reason Babymetal exist. Kobe came up with the plan for it. But without Su he had nowhere to go with it. The vision he had must have been incredible. He saw Su when she was just 10. Singing with Karen Girls. She was the youngest of a trio in a jpop group. They sang songs for an anime the group was named after. Who looks at a 10-year-old and thinks She's going to front a metal band? Well, Koba did. And there are many, including myself who are very glad he did. This song lyrically is most likely their darkest song. A real nightmare of a tale. Being chased through the night by a creature and all you can see is the moonlight flash off his fangs and claws. You run and here and there. Through the forest it keeps chase. You find a fountain to hide in. But it finds you. The stage theatrics are crazy in this part as the lighting makes it look like Su is dangling in the air. While the creature has its hold on you. You muster the strength to ask it to reveal itself. And with that you fall into the darkness. And the song ends suddenly as you wake up. You forgot. It's a recurring Nightmare. I always hoped that none of them really had this nightmare. Cause that is some scary sh__ well you know what I mean. The Kamibands intro to this is incredible. Babaymetal fans always look forward to when they get the time to shine. They were still underage at this time and had to follow child labor laws. which means they had to take a break after being on stage for a length of time. Yui and Moa took their break first. Su did this solo song. and Then She took a break and Yui and Moa did a duo song. When they perform together without Su. They became the subunit. Black Babymetal. They have four songs as Black Babymetal. And Su has four solo songs. Moa has done to of those songs as solo songs since Yui left in 2018. Now that Momometal is with them. Will we see the return of Black Babymetal? Well, we already know what they'll say about that. Only The Fox god Knows. lol. I hoped you warned your friend that all Babymetal songs are different and the next one he watches will be different from this one. Especially when Yui and Moa are with her. Or if it's Su and her M&Ms. Moa and Momoko. The foxhole is deep and full of surprises.

[@jaedo6180]

Can't wait for the girls to come out to see the friends reaction!😂🤘

[@tomasp886]

Love the theme of this channel - old guys being introduced and reacting to new stuff. I'm always trying to get my fellow old-guy friends to break out from their 60's and 70's rock genre's (not that that stuff isn't great). Babymetal is a real test of brain plasticity - can your old neurons deal with this completely new yet familiar in some ways music? My favorite performance to start people out with is the 2014 Sonisphere performance of Ijime, Dame, Zettai- their first performance for a western audience where 90% of the crowd had no idea who they were - but they win the crowd over. Another Japanese band I've found very talented and appealing to old guys is Nemophila - particularly their covers of old tunes from the likes of Iron Maiden and AC/DC.

[@WolfQuantum]

I'm 66 and yeah, I like Classic Rock still when in the mood, but man, I was around when it came out and have listened to it for decades. I like variety. Five Finger Death Punch, to Dua Lipa, Panic at the Disco, Punjabi, Celtic, and so many things in between. If it gets your inner self reacting in a good way, enjoy.

[@jamieforbes9613]

That was a cool reaction And you chose my Favourite Su solo and kami band flex this for me is up there with Fade to black Metallica as an Epic melodic metal song

[@Marty-Metal]

great show fellas

[@hugovictor5186]

Rondo of Nightmare is one of the 4 songs SU-METAL does on her own. YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL were backstage, resting, rehydrating and catching up on some homework. BABYMETAL has three meanings: 1) Japanese wordplay on Heavy Metal. Only the forst syllable/kanji is slightly different. 2) Birth of a new genre. They call it Kawaii (cute) Metal. 3) During their live debut, the three girls were 12, 11 and 11 years old.

[@Haegemon]

Yui and Moa had their own 4 songs within the brand Black Babymetal to allow the same resting, hydratation and homework catch up for Suzuka. 😁 Indeed they debuted at young age. It was whithin Sakura Gakuin, a Japanese idol group which Babymetal was a subunit. But at that time Suzuka had debuted in a previous group a couple years before which sang the songs for an anime series, and she had already shoot commercials with only 4 yo. Five years before she was signed with her talent agency after she placed 2nd on an audition.

[@WolfQuantum]

I'm still wrapping my head around it, but yeah. The whole group does some pretty sweet stuff. A good mix. Like the one guy said, some 70s heavy metal and a good fusion across the styles. This is the first time I saw (Su is it?) going solo for the whole song. Quite the voice.

[@praetorxyn]

Babymetal is fantastic. I recommend Road of Resistance Live in Japan for the next one.

[@watcher2554]

Dancing in the Dark 2 meters above a rotating stage, a 16yr old Suzuka sings of an Unending Nightmare of being chased by a Faceless Terror and begging a Boon that is show her its Face just once before she dies. That's Metal. That's Babymetal!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@kaliarchon]

One song I have not seen many people react to is one of my personal favorites, Distortion, though it could be because of the amazingness that the music video is. I've been traveling down the fox hole of seeing people's absolute confusion, turning into absolute delight and I absolutely love it. It's always so amazing to see people enjoying the wonder that is Babymetal, and I am so happy to see someone loving them so much to show them off to others. Another highly recommended song is BxMxC (BMC/Babymetal Cypher). I can't wait to see what song you discover and show off next.

[@mikepowers9486]

One of 4 Su-metal's solos. BABYMETAL comes at you in so many wonderful ways. Su solos, all 3 girls, Yui and Moa as the most dynamic duo, and the Kami Band intros. You still have sooooooo much to witness. 🤘🦊🤘

[@robxsiq7744]

gotta get him reacting to Road of Resistance, live in Japan...that'll blow his socks off. I get his vibe and he will dig it.

[@ゆりざべす-z8o]

BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥

[@road-runner]

Good reaction, thanks! "Rondo of Nightmare" is probably their darkest song lyrically. It's about Su being trapped into an endless nightmare, without any chance to escape, and she's chased by a dark entity as she tries to run away and hide from. Finally she gives up and ask the entity to show its real nature. This was just the second time they performed it live (the first one was just the previous night at the same venue) and Su-metal, being 16 at the time, was standing by herself on a relatively small and high platform, without any safety and probably not being able so see a thing due the spotlight. This is so metal! And about their name, is not about their age (although when they started in 2010 they were 12 and 11 years old so, it probably had something to do). The name was chosen for two main reasons: - To symbolize that they gave birth to a new genre of metal music (kawaii metal). - Because the writing (and pronunciation) in Japanese is very similar to the writing of "heavy metal" (and they love puns): BABYMETAL = ベビメタル (be-bi-me-ta-ru) heavy metal = ヘビメタル (he-bi-me-ta-ru) 🤘🦊

[@rabbitbobo4131]

I really like how baby metal share the stage, it show so much appreciation to the the skill of the guitarist and drummer.

[@BasicModelling]

Brilliant... Now do Headbanger (Budokan 2021) version. They get better and better, as they get older.. :)

[@Dead-Eye]

Dude needs to see the 'Karate' music video. Or maybe 'Road of Resistance Live in Japan'.

I've watched this many, many times but still get nervous for Su on top of that platform. 🦊🤘🤘🦊

[@Tom55data]

Me too, but then when I watch the headbanger music video when su-metal head bangs at the desk I worry she will bash head on the desk

[@UnstablePyro19]

this particular piece was done @ Budokan Black Night. Rondo of Nightmare with the intro part is called Mischief of the Metal Gods, this is one of my favorite live songs that BABYMETAL performs just slightly behind Headbangeeeeeerrrrr!!!! (Moa banger) version

[@TheFoxholeYoutube]

Finally! More Babymetal! Please keep doing these, I love your reactions.

[@ConsilienceDVO]

You gotta do Headbanger or Road of Resistance next

[@metalka_]

I recommend Road Of Resistance, Tales Of Destinies, Monochrome and Headbangeeeer. I think your friend will like it. 😀🦊🤘

[@johnschultz7765]

Thanks from another old guy for bringing Babymetal back around. Such a great song showcasing 16-year old powerhouse Su-metal. And I noticed everyone wanting to headbang to the downbeats of that heavy metal waltz of a chorus. 🤘🦊

[@unmemorablehero]

If you haven’t seen Road of Resistance live in Tokyo, you REALLY should. Or, The One music video. It shows how much more incredible they are live. And that’s just scratching the surface. If you listen to their 3rd album, each song has a different genre of music that they take and make a metal song from it. Anything from Indian Instrumentation to a Sea Shanty. Plus there is the song iine (I wrote it lowercase because people mistake the upper case I for a lowercase L), which has pop, EDM, rap, and metal elements all in one, and that song was on their first album, so they’ve been doing it since then beginning.

[@rah2287]

This was a Suzuka Nakamoto solo LIVE performance. BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno (Yui left in 2018 due to health reasons). Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old when the group began. All three were friends and classmates who attended an idol school/group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents. Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result. At first Amuse showed no interest and the girls had only financing from Kobayashi. They performed at strip malls and small venues using clothes borrowed from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues). Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia). If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to LIVE performance videos as this is where they shine. They have over 50 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more. Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.) Suggest reacting to these for a start.

Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles. Good luck and hope to see you again.

You guys would absolutely love another band from Japan called Lovebites. Check out their MV for the song Holy War live. You guys will not be disappointed. 🤘🏻🐺

Swap screens with the video

The Beefy Silver Fox has a genuine understanding of metal, but was this the best introduction to baby metal? Gimmee Chocolate seemed the obvious choice to an intro. This particular piece was more about a well deserved nod to the amazing band. I hope you have your great guest back, when he is not starring in harry Potter movies obviously. Don't want to upset JK. She is my favourite TERF.

[@HeavyTopspin]

Awesome! Now you need to take one step deeper into Japan insanity and give a listen to "Nippon Manju" by Ladybaby.

Song about repetition of never ending nightmare.

[@tanamach]

Yes, I have. I have been waiting for your reaction for a long time. This time it was an unintentional solo live performance. Next time I recommend this live video reaction. It is full of their charm. ' KARATE ' (Download Festival 2016) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHyyfWmsaLKXaMU
