Song 22 in a 23 song Concert .. not just talent and musicality .. STAMINA !!

[@snowdog5895]

"These girls are insane" .........Yes they are, insanely talented! Best band in the world today, and the best to come around in decades. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@stups9975]

Misa is just a beast on the bass. They all are amazing musicians. And yes they deserve a bigger following .. their main obstacle is that they are from Japan and many Americans won’t give them a listen because they are not open minded. But your channel and other reaction channels are helping spread the word to give this band and other deserving bands some more exposure.

[@stups9975]

Charles Velten I agree the music industry is crap. I personally have seen people bash the band without ever listening to them .. I tried to tell people to check them out and a lot of the times they just scoff. That was what I was meaning when I said what I said. I could have worded it better so it didn’t come off as a generalization. But I agree with you. The music industry is garbage and that’s why I never listen to the radio or watch any music tv.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@stups9975 Hi Stups. I know you & Charles are both huge BAND-MAID fans but here's another reason why they're nowhere as big as they deserve. Have you seen their Tokyo website? Us Maidiacs could do a better job than their promo team. Plus unlike Babymetal, they don't have the promo & worldwide coverage of the mighty SONY group behind them. Imagine if they did, it'd be frightening ( in a good way). Take care man :)

[@stups9975]

Gary Holloway You make a great point !

[@ssnidely]

sold out american tours say otherwise but hey thats ok.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@Charles Velten Didn't expect to get a reply from a 3 week old comment. Lol. Looks like the U.K. Will have it's 2nd full lockdown soon, but I don't let it bother me cos i already drunk the contents of my "Glass half empty" years ago. And Robert informed me earlier about E.V.H's sad passing. 65 is way too young to die. Take care Charles :)

[@velvetra29]

What are they doing? They're making faces to each other, trying to mess up each other's playing. Yes, that's a huge flex. They're that good. So you like Misa the bassist, huh? The fans gave her a nickname "Barefoot Assassin", because she's tend to perform without her shoes on (casually walking up to the stage and taking off her shoes, shrug it below the amp), and her maid costume back then taking the concept of an assassin (long skirt with high slit).

[@kirbysmith882]

They have 3 ways playing this song. ( different solos) they was discussing what one they was going to go with.

[@MisakaMikotoLuv]

@@kirbysmith882 lol do you really think they can hear each other, mich less discuss anything in the middle of that? they were playing around dude

3:15 *What are they doing?* They like to make faces at each other to see which one breaks character 😁 😜 😉 😋 that’s how good they are and how much fun they are having.

[@zodijackyl]

I believe this is the track you can catch Akane sticking her tongue back out at them.

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

I don't know but I suspect that LED ZEPPELIN were very curious about Akane and less interested in the rest of the band so they are trying to distract her to make her less perfect. ONLY today redit reports that she is officially the best female drummer in the world.

[@billmcleangunsmith]

@@stephenchigwidden7504 They say best "female" drummer... she is the "best drummer." Period.

[@ricklarsen7189]

This is Hengao. Akane cannot be broken. lol

[@hammerhiem75]

@@ricklarsen7189 She totally broke Saiki in Play :D

[@tonygriffin_]

3:16 They're playing what's called Hengao (strange faces) in Japanese because they are that confident and trusting in each others' abilities to do it. 4:34 - Look closely and you'll notice Misa, the 5' 7" bassist, is switching from hammering and pulling at her 5 string bass to plucking with a pick, almost simultaneously. That takes some skill to do but then she, like Akane the drummer and Kanami the shredding queen on lead, are all classically trained musicians who've turned their knowledge to new instruments. Kanami writes all their music while Miku, the rhythm guitarist and founder of the band, writes the lyrics which Saiki sings. Try some of their other live songs, especially from this same Feb 2020 concert, where Domination was the 22nd song on their 23 song live set. Basically, they are THE best Rock band I've seen and heard in decades and certainly the best Rock/Heavy Rock band on Earth right now. Other songs from that same concert are FREEDOM: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk , PLAY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3biZKqaduabbc , CHOOSE ME: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTUmqeYjcycnbc and WONDERLAND: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmXLqX-bfcekkNE . I've subscribed to see how hard you fall for them and their musical skills (OK, their gorgeousness doesn't hurt either) when you have seen a couple more videos...and I definitely didn't press the subscribe button just for the pretty colours, man, though they are nice.

[@ricklarsen7189]

Great post. I just wanted to add that “Choose Me” has English subs.

[@tonygriffin_]

@@ricklarsen7189 Oh yeah! Bonus beats!

[@crabuki1273]

This is not the band you thought they were after Thrill. These are the kaiju of modern rock-n-roll, and nothing can stop them.

[@Petershelson]

Check out 'Freedom' and 'Play' from the same concert, on their youtube channel! Or any other live video from them, they're all amazing!

[@davewhite407]

Talent, passion and commitment. They know their stuff so well they can have fun and entertain when they hit the stage. I can't get enough of this band.

[@nem447]

This is *_Band-Maid_* and they play relentless quality Rock N' Roll!!

[@stonefaction]

Did you notice that MISA on bass switched effortlessly between playing with a pick and slapping and back again (by tucking the pick into her palm, held in place by her forefinger)...all without missing a note.....

[@lakenneth374]

Bassist Misa (5`7"), in this video, plays her Black Cloud Black Smoker Beta5-MISA.

[@PENTA_pischner]

These Girls don't stop or mess around. 'Domination' was their 23rd song of this concert and they played like it was one of their first 5.😉🤘 You should check out 'Freedom' or 'Play' (song just before this) both (14.02.20) are also up on their YT-Channel. If you wanna discover Japan a bit more, check out 'Wagakki Band' they have a tradtional vibe and are way different than Band-Maid or BABYMETAL --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqDRhZV6ebKMoNk

[@Hoopsick]

23rd😳🤯

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and yes this band makes you sweat, heart constrict, breathing increase and endorphins explode, just like running a marathon. I've been listening to rock since the 50's and this band for me is in my personal list of top five band of all time, hands down. I haven't felt this way since I first heard Zeppelin in 1969. They deserve to be better know and the only that will happen is through YT, especially in the US where radio for real rock music is practically dead.

[@Marco-nu6dg]

Band-Maid and Lovebites are my two favorite female bands in the world.

[@nussekuddenxxx6564]

B-M has always wanted to be international and that's the reason for the English choruses. Miku, who writes the lyrics, wants to add parts where an international audience can sing along, as you noticed. It's not totally uncommon for Japanese bands to do so, but B-M is very consistently writing these parts into their songs.

[@armynurseboy]

a lot of the time, they also use English because the sound of the English word flows better with the melody.

[@JuanSan66]

That´s the point. Live they are unbeatable. Nobody works so hard on their crowds. They always try to include catchy choruses so that their audience can sing along with them. I really think there is nothing they like more.

[@zer0tzer0]

They were doing 変顔 or hengao which means Weird Face. Basically making Funny Faces at Akane trying to throw her off. Not a chance. She is a machine, aka Gorilla, because she is Banana Powered. She has a huge apatite. She takes all that energy and pours it into her drumming. Her nickname is "The Beast". If you want to see her really shine watch 'Freedom' LIVE . . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk

[@rubyvolt]

THEY ALL GET TO SOLO DURING A SONG!!! That is the BEST thing about them. THEY ALL shred.

[@stonefaction]

This live video for Domination was my entry to the BAND-MAID pigeon-hole and I love watching that same realisation, same face lighting-up moment as folk experience it for themselves. You're the third reaction (all posted in past day or so) I've watched in the past hour and the response has been virtually identical in all 3...... Another few converted along their road to WORLD DOMINATION!

[@gt1man931]

I think I mentioned on your Thrill reaction, they have had 6 years since then, they have been working hard in that time.

[@darkcloud6287]

They don't call MISA an assassin at bass for nothing.

Great reaction! Love when peeps have to stop/step away. Electric guitar always been my fave instrument in music. Hence my (like MISA) love for Hendrix, but last 5 years have become more appreciative of bass (& players). Don't get me wrong, I ♥ all of these gals. They rawk! I even think that Kanami just maybe the 2nd best guitarist I've ever seen, but my fave will always be MISA ♥. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but can play bass better than anyone I've ever seen/heard. Oh Did I mention that I ♥ this band? ;)

[@Sinvare]

Foreign words and accents often sound exotic. The Japanese have a long and very positive (mostly) relationship with England and the US since they opened their borders. The Japanese have a ton of English loan words and they commonly appear on signs, songs(especially anime intro/endings) and even daily conversation. It is not for the KZbin algorithm, it just sounds cool.

[@BlazinNSoul]

I just wish I can get my hands on Miku's new custom Zemaitis Dragon Classic guitar. It's called the Flappy Pigeon appropriately named. Which is an absolute work of art but aside from that. What some may not know. Akane who is the drummer is in charge of organizing rehearsals and performances. She also claims can eat 5 bowls of ramen. 30 plates in a Kaiten Sushi. Along with 130 bowls of soba lol. Akane also plays the trombone & is a classically trained pianist. In addition to playing for an acoustic band called "Rice Cakes And Cheese with kanami" lol. She also plays the Cajon and is a DJ at various nightclubs under the stage name DJ Achi. Yes, Akane is definitely's a unicorn I have concluded lol. 🦄 That's just one member mind you lol. If you wanting to check out an insane complimation from Kanami as well see below. :b kzbin.info/www/bejne/baHGkIZmeNB1bqs

[@hiawatha.g]

Misa can switch repeatedly between picking and slapping in the blink of an eye. She and Akane (Dr) may be the best back line in the world today--I can't think of a band since Rush that had a comparable pairing. For an instrumental where they really cut loose, try "Onset" from 2018: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fVf2CglLqWZrc

[@tonyborasio7187]

THE BEST METAL BAND EVER PERIOD!

[@mv3873]

NICE リアクションありがとう😊 BAND MAID決意の塊です！ marvelous⚡️

[@hiawatha.g]

Now you know why we all say they are even better live. But this also is 7 years after "Thrill". In that time, Miku (founder) moved from co-lead vocals to backing vocals, while learning to play the guitar (!); they took over complete creative control around 2016; Saiki (V) had vocal chord surgery and came back stronger; and they visited the U.S. 3x. The home of real rock is in Japan now--you've seen Band-Maid and Lovebites, and there are a dozen more great Japanese rock and metal bands, most of them fronted by women or even all-female like these two groups.

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

Look 👉👀👈I just can't let this go HIAWATHA GOLDSTEIN? JEWISH native AMERICANS I presume. 😂😂❤️ no wonder the west was won you probably sold it to them.

[@anderslofgren8235]

MISA, the bassist has a very different technique when she switches from plektrum to slapping, she hides it with her index finger and it's seamless. She is one of the best bassists i've seen in the last 30 years. Or at least B-M gives her time to shine in almost every song. Feel-good music at its best :-)

[@JESTERSFALLS]

That was nasty! You got to check out freedom, the drummer, Akene goes CRAZY!!! Keep it going, get the reactions going my man

[@RalphBellairs]

Oh my! Every time Akane goes into overdrive at the end of the chorus with the double kicks all the hairs on my arms stand on end! Also anyone who knows me is told about my love for Misa on a regular basis until they are tired of hearing it. People who don't know me also get the message from all my "Barefoot Assassin" t-shirts! Sorry, not sorry! ❤Misa!
