Band-Maid - HATE? (LIVE) / First Time Reaction

[@tonygriffin_]

Ther best live Hard Rock concert this century was this 3.5 hour, 33 song, epic 10th anniversary concert. They kept up this level of energy and superior musicianship for another 6 songs after this one, the 27th. I would swap all my memories of the great gigs I saw in the 70's & 80's (Zeppelin, Sabbath, Zappa, Santana, Floyd and many others) to have been there in Tokyo that night. THE best Metal band on Earth, the female, Japanese, 5 piece called Lovebites, were in the audience that night, watching THE best Rock band on Earth!

Since 2019 when I really started paying attention to the Japanese music scene it has just gotten better and better. So many incredible bands with some elite musicians. The all-female bands continue to dominate. The rock/metal scene in Japan is the best in the world IMO.

I watched the livestream of this concert last year. It was their 10th anniversary concert at Yokohama arena. This was song 27 out of 33 in a 3 1/2 hour show. It was spectacular! Keep going with this band. They are the find of my life. Everything I've ever hoped for in a band. It's hard to explain. They're different. Great reaction man. Thanks 🙂

For all who use "Battle" or "Conversation" etc. for trading solos with another player... another word you might consider is "Handoffs." 🤘

They did this at Lollapalooza and the video went viral. So we all knew what was coming at the shows that followed. I was lucky enough to be standing just feet from MISA when they played this in Sacramento. Hard to describe how epic it was. Best band since the Beatles, and actually a much better LIVE band than the Beatles.

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 My wife and I witnessed this very performance at the venue on Nov.26, last year. We were in bliss going through very exciting 3-hour-40-minute-long show with 33-song setlist. (Happy fatigue thereafter 😄) The title of this song is interesting. It is not just "Hate" but "Hate?", with question mark. The lyric is a little bit contradictory or ambivalent. If the girl hates the guy so intensely, why she hanged around with him so long enough to know his daily behavior (10 minutes of limp gymnastics 🤣 etc.) Is she giving him the last chance to restore their relationship? That is the point I talked with my wife on my way home.

Imminence with the song “The Black” Live at the Ystad Teater. Lead singer plays violin while singing and screaming. It’s kind of unheard of having violin in metalcore. It’s an emotional song…..❤️🥁❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYmrdIGZhdSajs0si=SKRAX-qv9ujrrbIu

Band-Maid is awesome, I have seen them twice and they are the top of my list of favorite shows. Try Real Existence Live, Moratorium Live, Warning MV, Dice MV, From Now On MV, Onset Live, etc. :). Thanks for sharing your reaction.

BABYMETAL x ElectricCallboy - Ratatata / MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - SHIMI feat. ATARASHII GAKKO / These are recent collaborations between very big Japanese groups. EC is German partycore.

[@azalamareacts]

@greggmaggiore3698 Thank you! I've heard BABYMETAL X Electric Callboy - Ratatata HOWEVER I've only heard it on nights out, so I'll add it to my list and see what it's like on headphones! And I'll add SHIMI to my list too! EC are a proper fun band to jam! Cheers! 👊🏻

I just subscribed. Can you increase the volume on your microphone just a little? It was perfect on the video. The CC helped me know what you were saying though. I'm sure you have many suggestions for Band Maid but allow me to add one which often gets overlooked: BAND-MAID / One and Only (Live in Tokyo 2018) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6W6Xpigi7yZhdU
