BAND-MAID / Protect You (Official Music Video) OLDSKULENERD REACTION

[@astartes2781]

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it...........Typical Band-Maid process.

[@bruceveary1758]

"Have you seen the musicianship of this band...their creativity, their energy...?" Thank you for bringing this up. I started listening to Band Maid in 2015, and became a full-blown Maidiac in 2017. I've been to shows from all of Band Maid's U.S. tours. My three favorite early reactor quotes concerning Band Maid (all actually heard by me) are: (a) "C'mon, these girls are not really playing those instruments, are they?" [Questioning their technical abilities as players]; (b) They'll never be able to keep this up -- girls have no stamina" [Questioning their endurance and commitment]; (c) They never miss-out on using a rock cliche, do they?" [Questioning their originality and character]. Well, it's mid-2024. and I (and Band Maid) have yet to see an apology or a retraction. Musicianship: World Class. Stamina: Almost eleven years in; the 2023 Yokahama concert was 33 songs long and lasted over 3 1/2 hours. Creativity: Look in the dictionary -- Band Maid's picture in next to the definition. Ladies, you have earned ABSOLUTELY everything that you have gotten! Band Maid Forever!!!!!

Every member of Band-Maid is also a part of rhythm section. I don't know much about music theory but they often switch from downbeats to upbeats vise versa, sometimes done by guitars, sometimes with vocals. They dance around each other. It's so interesting that I even describe Akane's drumming 'melodic' sometimes.

Grendizer U is a popular Anime in France - Ooh la la

[@JuanSan66]

Live Band Maid is the best Band Maid!

[@sjnix7044]

Truer words have never been spoken...."You're not ready." Opening with a BLAST BEAT and LA LA LAs. YOU SIR WERE NOT READY! 🤣This song is a grower not a show-er. It will catch up to you (or vice sersa). The blast beat bookends really land after several listens. It doesn't make much sense at first but will connect after several go arounds.

*BAND MAID!* Bring the Thunder! ⛈⛈ 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

Five very talented and beautiful young ladies ❤🤘

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

Hey OSN ... its been a while since you visited our MAIDs ... Good to see you again ;) .

[@BillHallisey]

I believe the reason there are so many "Ou lala, lalas" in this anime it was made for (Grandizer U) is really popular in France. Popular saying there. Also, "Ou lala, lala" in Japanese might mean we're gonna kick you ass!!!!! Fast-paced, HIGH energy, Wow what a video. I'm glad you stopped a couple of times, I had to catch my breath!

[@brunobryant4846]

🤣👍🍻

[@PaulEngineer]

Seen this song hundreds of times, why wouldn't I be ready? ;)

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Yep Maidiacs are always ready :)

[@Mikupigeon]

This is actually the ending song for the new Japanese robot anime Grendizer U.

[@tammy5938]

They are awesome love them

[@LawrenceCox-bv9zt]

Awesome reaction...again. Thank you, sir.

[@billb.5183]

Sweet Jesus man you scared the crap out of me at the start. 🤣

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

[@johnmatthew102]

Band-Maid is singular, so if Miku is the last maid standing, then it still works. Last as she was first.

[@杉澤和哉]

Thanks for the video. This song is the ending song of a Japan robot anime. The lyrics and context are adapted to the work, and AKANE's drop, which is as fierce as the special lightning move used by the main character's robot, is also shown. By the way, there is a video of a live performance called "Band maid Spin off show" on the channel "bandmaid fan videos" that was held as part of the 10th anniversary. At 1:10:25 out of 1:42:10, we enter the song "HONKAI(本懐)" from MISA's cool solo. This is a song that makes MISA's drive shine brightly, so I recommend listening to it. This live is phenomenal from start to finish.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Ouh là là, Band-Maid!

[@bandmaidfanATL]

You can have MISA, I'll take Miku. The Pigeon is BOSS!

[@teddyoso87]

Leave Saiki alone and we're all good!

[@bruceveary1758]

Band Maid exists to show the human race what is possible. Band Maid Forever!!!!!

[@philcalvino884]

Great commentary, OSN. Agree with you about the layering and picking up on new musical elements on repeat listens. Latest song to do that to me: Protect You.

[@Phattydumpz]

You're a wordsmith. Everyone likes this band just say they rock. This is Thunder. I don't even like that word, but it fits.

[@didiwebber2956]

Hi, you know "Nessun Dorma"? Than please check out the new, modern version of this. It's a song by Billy Andrews/The Dark Tenor, named "No Sleep ( Nessun Dorma)" live 2023. It's awsome!

[@kobra2134]

Hello ,nice reaction as allways found some cool band becorse of you :) can i ask you somphting? did you take music request? if so, i would like to if you can make a reaction to Princewhateverer, he is youtube/twitch musican who makes Rock and Metal music About My little pony, its sounds crazy but I can assure you that it is real and the music is worth listening to. he makes his music by him self, playing the guitar in and mixed then wiht drums, bass etc. the song i would recommended called : Nemesis, if Do you want something less heavy then maybe Gohst in the sun or fan the flame. It would be nice if you give it a shot , but i also would understandt if you not going to. Any way see you next reaction. p.s sorry for bad english her and there is not my main language

[@TheUnderdogDe]

You might be interested in watching *BAND-MAID x The Warning - "SHOW THEM" (LIVE)!* posted by *Batamusik TV* on the 12th of June but don't react to it because bad things may happen to your channel. You could always wait for the release of BAND-MAIDs new album this month to hear it.

[@_DriveTime]

No album release date has been set. I personally expect September.

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Don't. This recording is bootlegged. And don't react to it. You will get a strike

[@TheUnderdogDe]

@@bandmaidfanATL That's why I wrote _" but don't react to it"_
