MISA the bass player can go from picking to slapping and back to picking all without any kind of pauses because of the way she holds her pick . www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Band+maid+dice&view=detail&mid=9E54ECBD119741C3AE5F9E54ECBD119741C3AE5F&FORM=VRRTAP&PC=TNNM

Just for a moment, forget they're all female and forget they're dressed as maids. Two members (Misa - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained pianists and musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now. OK, now that's explained, you can go back and marvel at how cute those outfits look and how incredibly beautiful all the band members are. The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal.

There was a band in the 90's, Queensryche, that played excellent rock music. They were also very accomplished instrumentally as well as being great song writers. And they were even better in concert. But this band, showing my age, has as much fun as the Beatles did originally. That was a thing that was lost in the 60's and 70's. But like Deep Purple, progressing together as a band instrumentally, and like you mentioned putting aside their egos, having this much talent, and loving music, I've got to say I haven't seen this since the Beatles. They deserve to be heard by every young person to show what music can be.

This is one song you expect to see in their setlist whenever they perform. This is their favorite song they like to perform live and yes I believe their friendship is real. Seen videos of them joking having fun they celebrates each other’s birthday with a cake and fan cams showing them having fun with the crowd and each other.

The trip to Seattle 'saved' the band - MISA, the bass player was ready to give-up - but the crowd in Seattle convinced that attracting larger & passionate audiences was possible. And as someone remarked, you remove one member, one pillar and the band would not exist. I saw them years ago by accident, playing at a festival in Japan, essentially in a field, in 2014. They exhibited talent from the beginning.

Listen to PLAY from this same concert. The intro is great and you'll get to hear a little of the rhythm playing solo too. Miku, rhythm GTR and the other vocal, started the band and writes most of the lyrics. She's really the driving force and was originally going to be the singer as well. She felt her voice wasn't strong enough and then they enlisted Saiki to be the lead singer. Mikue stepped back in order to help the band succeed and then learned how to play guitar after she helped demote herself. She's turned into a really good rhythm player if you listen to the background. Some day she's going to surprise us and do a lead solo (I hope).

Unless one lives under a rock it is well known that interesting and great music has originated in Japan for quite some time. There is also no limit to mainstream media backed crap with little to no social redeeming value except to put a dollar in some suit's pocket. But even among the corporate sponsored entities there is still a huge amount of very decent bands. Babymetal, Lovebites, BiSH and Scandal to name just a few that have made it onto my playlist. Band-Maid is an entirely different animal. In both how they came to be and in their relationship with the media and corporate control of the entire music industry in the nation of Japan. After all whatever Band-Maid has received to date from the powers that be there are the same people who dismissed Miku in an earlier attempt through the idol system with her three girl singing group Lil Cumin. She goes back to these same guys and says "Look l know you just let me go a few months ago but l have a better idea. What about a hard rock band dressed as Maid Cafés employees? Of course she didn't tell them she had zero experience with rock music or that she did not know how to play an instrument. Band-Maid's talent, appeal and back story make them exemptional and even unique among bands today. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.

Would expect nothing less from Zemaitis Guitars though lol. But aside from that some may not know. Is that Akane is also the band leader. She's in charge of organizing rehearsals and performances. Akane also claims she can eat 5 bowls of ramen. 30 plates in a Kaiten Sushi. Along with 130 bowls of soba in a single sitting lol. Akane being classically trained also plays piano and the trombone. Yes, this girl definitely a unicorn in disguise I have concluded lol. Anyways awesome reaction here, just saying. 🤟🔥🥁🔥
