CLANG for some reason seems to be a forgotten gem of Band-Maid's. This tune should be in every live show IMHO.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

One of the pitfalls of having a very strong back catalogue of tunes!

[@mkoose]

@@JbfMusicGuitar It is very well reflected in Reddit discussions about the Setlist for the current US tour, where everyone wants their favorites.

[@_JimS]

@@JbfMusicGuitar True.....their concerts would be an all day event if they played their best tunes...Lol!

[@rossmudie9298]

@@mkoose at least the maids put 'alone' in their setlist, think i tried everyday on reddit to get it on the fan list 😁🤘🤘

[@Rabbi_Rabbs]

@@_JimS Very true. Reminds me of an interview I watched with Dionne Warwick. After she had 56 singles in the top 100, she couldn't even loop them all in on a big medley of hits, that alone would take all night. And then there's her album tracks. So she told her crowds, you all want me to play every song I ever recorded. That would take forever. So rather than even attempt that, I selected just a few songs, and that's that.

One of the many great songs from their World Domination album. Thanks Jack 🙂

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

My pleasure mate!

[@surfingasongwave]

"I quite like this unprofessional footage, there's something raw about it that I just enjoy." Yeah, these Vladimir Chupin videos remind me of going to the clubs around Dallas, seeing great rock and roll at high volume in some seedy place with a sticky floor, sneaking out the back door for a quick puff during the break, avoiding drunks on Greenville Ave. on the way home. Ah, memories.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Lmao, aye totally you know a place has character when your foot steps get their own squelchy sound track!

[@Rabbi_Rabbs]

Clang! Right on!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Many thanks dude, and cheers for pointing me towards it!

[@goodsong6732]

I saw you do what every one does by listening to Band-Maid live.. Iit brings a smile on your face.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Glad to hear it!

[@tonygriffin_]

Don't know Racer X so even a vaguely mysterious look at them should be interesting! The YT site with the best Band-Maid fancams is probably Vladimir Chupin's.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Second Heat is a superb guitar shred album, if you like the twin lead harmonised stuff. Good point, I'll pop a link to his video in the description and probably give his channel a bookmark since it's got the Tony stamp of approval!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@JbfMusicGuitar Sorry, just noticed this reply from you. Checked them out and got sold on them pretty fast - it was Fire of Rock that sealed it! - but a bit annoyed that I completely missed out on them when I was a Metal fan back in the 80's (the big perms and spandex years - for the bands, not me!) and would have loved their sound more. Made me think that this is what Deep Purple might have sounded like if they'd stayed together. PS Vlad's been following Band-Maid around the USA the last few weeks and he's posted a ton of fancams from the gigs.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

@@tonygriffin_ I don't think they ever got big, I only found about them from nerdy guitar stuff really, I think a mate of mine found Paul Gilbert doing 'Metal Dog' in glorious 144p! They have a live DVD called snow ball of doom- worth a watch! It's just Paul so no twin leads, they sound great though. They sort of ruined Trivium and those more modern metal bands like that for me a bit, cause I'd already heard these insane harmonised guitar acrobatics!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@JbfMusicGuitar It seems to be a more common thing in Japan to have 2 lead guitarists and they always seem to enjoy taking their turn and then dueting in perfect harmony - Babymetal's Kami Band, Lovebites and Nemophila all do it. Miku isn't quite up to Kanami's level but Kanami has taught her everything and has always written her rhythm pieces so that, over the years, Miku has gone from wearing the guitar as a necklace to being very proficient. Maybe one day they'll have a dual harmony going on!

[@vincenzo-maidiac-5457]

Clang rocks a lot!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

It's a bit of a belter!

[@lewissmith4123]

great Clang is one of my favourites !

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Good choice!

[@VegetaRabbit]

Love that intro to Clang.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Great way to kick off a tune!

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday My Goddess!!!!! when I saw them Live back in 2019 I was disappointed that they did not play my top 2 songs (as of then) but they did play my third fav CLANG but during the US leg of the tour We did not get the Tapping duel at the start.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

It's gotta be tough putting a set list together when they have so many bangers!

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

@@JbfMusicGuitar ABSOLUTELY

[@Kevin6059]

This band is so damned FUN!!!!

[@falconsooner]

You always have numerous references when watching a BM video but this might be the first Racer X reference.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

I think it might be!

[@erniezetroc]

Interesting Racer X reference. Kanami once tweeted that she tried learning the solo to Colorado Bulldog by Mr. Big when she was in high school and found it difficult. Those old Kanami tweets before she was famous were funny and some of them were pre-Band-Maid.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Just has a listen to that... I can see why! Very Gilbert, very clean, very difficult!

[@mansyursupriyadi]

wow,,,Lady Rocker Good video Sir 🥂

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Thank you kindly

[@Kevin6059]

And did you say Racer X vibes?? Can't wait to hear the explanation behind that one! That of course was a college fave - "Hey, let's get wasted and watch Speed Racer!!" (Okay, I know you're probably not talking about Speed Racer, but I'm a bit insane with excitement right now looking forward to seeing BAND-MAID on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Yes! Haha, sadly the 80s band, not the cartoon! Oh wow, you must be pretty pumped up, hope it's a great gig!

[@lurkmerchant]

Misa doing bass tapping! Cool❤

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Very cool indeed!

[@laughingbuddha2948]

Had to put CC on, didn't get a word you were saying. Once I did, everything became a lot clearer, lol!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Haha, oops still can't always get those levels right! Glad the CC helped out

[@kyles5513]

One of my favorite songs and the best one on the album. For once I think this song is better on the album than live.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Interesting, why do you reckon you prefer the studio version?

[@kyles5513]

@@JbfMusicGuitar almost all of their songs sound better live but when I play clang from their vinyl record I have to me it sounds better on the album then live versions I've heard. It's already the most scratched track on the album because it's the only one I really listen too.

[@JuanSan66]

Wow. Racer X comparison incoming!. Great job Jack!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Thanks! 👍

[@makmiskell3733]

Thanks Jbf!

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Any time!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

BAND-MAID sure can Clang but they never grate :)

[@_JimS]

Gary, Check out some chill/jazz Band-Maid kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2WUe4CQncxpgac

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Off topic, but do you reckon 'clang' counts an onomatopoeia? Cause it sort of is, but to me the noise is more like Brlaghyng

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@JbfMusicGuitar Haha. Jack i think it is, but it definitely sounds more like Brlaghyng tho. "Kerrang" got the perfect one imo with....um....Kerrang :)

[@Rabbi_Rabbs]

Great reaction, Jack! For those unfamiliar with the Racer X comparison, go 6 minutes into the following video where they do a guitar/bass tapping battle and then break into a Clang-like riff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGGYnIGKa9aiprs Clang also gives me strong AFI vibes at 1:58 and 3:10 -- the fat bass combined with Saiki's whine. Incidentally, regarding fan cams, for that cool MISA/Kanami tapping intro, there are only fan cams of it, as I think B-M only did that in Europe.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Interesting AFI comparison as well! There was a tonne of Paul Gilbert/Racer X-y stuff throughout the song- good call! Awesome, so it is a wee bit like a hidden gem sort of thing!

[@reesereese2524]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

cheers bud!

[@gmark1]

Does anyone else get flashes of Jeff Beck when they listen to Kanami?

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

I sometimes hear the Santana influences, I'd bet there must be some Beck in there as well

[@gmark1]

@@JbfMusicGuitar A lot of it (to my ears) is those very tasty solos that you initially think "I've heard this before" and then they head off in unexpected and highly musical ways.

[@rockyetsx70]

Phone AGC/compression struggles with the dynamics of BM live, the pumping tends to obscure some of the details.

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

Good point, on the plus side everything is surprisingly well balanced! They've come a long way from the pure static/white noise 'fffzzzrrhgthushcttt' of the early 2000s. That was always such a let down, you'd record like the best part of a gig and it would be this shaky, blurry inaudible mess!

[@rockyetsx70]

@@JbfMusicGuitar When you listen to the studio version it's more open and the vocals stay in the front, and it sounds like the let Akane park her Harley in the backline for portions of the song.

[@rockyetsx70]

Let me clarify. Harley Davidson wish they could have that consistent a beat.
