BAND-MAID "Shambles" WOW First Time Reaction

[@JasoDip]

Thanks for watching. Check out MORE of my reactions here ----->kzbin.info/aero/PLRlrK5dYLJww78IXVGVXcPfKFd4sI6WvU

[@amamariya]

I love your reactions! It seems that sooner or later, you're going to react to LOVEBITES. I recommend 'Holy War' [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020] as a starter. It has all the metal elements in it.

[@jkkansasband7056]

Hey JD, wait till you check out their 2 latest uploads from the same concert as Unleash. Especially if you like an AWESOME guitar/bass conversation. DON'T YOU TELL ME-Live and just uploaded today HATE-Live. And don't forget the MV of their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON. Also, the fire was not CGI. The Maids said they enjoyed when the fires were lit because it was freezing in that warehouse. PEACE 1.08

[@JasoDip]

I’m definitely doing Don’t you tell me

[@interstellardave]

The thing is Band Maid isn’t just “metal”, but they can, and do, play metal quite a bit, mixed with many other things. There’s always a pop sensibility in there somewhere, which makes them so addictive. Try “Hate?” live next. Just released today on their channel. You’re guaranteed to love it.

[@JasoDip]

I actually dig they are diverse

[@BillHallisey]

Next Band Maid reaction: "Don't You Tell ME" and "Hate?", the official LIVE music videos, recently released on their KZbin channel. Both songs were from their 10th Anniversary Tour finale at the Yokohama Arena in November 2023. They're awesome and I feel you will love both of them. The bass/lead guitar "duels" in both songs are what rock and roll should be about.

[@JasoDip]

Yes I will be doing Dont you tell me next

[@MoonmanRedux]

​I think you'd enjoy HATE? most. It's fierce and the bass/lead call and response section is astonishing.

[@devingalloway2708]

Band-Maid just dropped HATE OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO FROM YOKOHAMA! HOLY FUCK ITS BADASS!❤❤❤

[@JasoDip]

🤘

[@fernandoloya6325]

Kanami guitar shredder, Misa Bass shredder, Akane drum Shredder Miku guitar shredder, Saiki vocals shredder are impressive. Awesome reaction thanks, I just subbed and liked to your channel.

[@surfingasongwave]

So this is another side to them. They have some songs from their 2021 album "Unseen World" that are pretty thrashy. They won't have a music video so just stare at the creepy fingers! On their youtube channel under "Releases" there is an "Unseen World" playlist with songs like track 5 *"I still seek revenge."* and track 6 *"H-G-K"* or maybe track 11 本懐 ("Ambition"). They tend to have "triumphant" sounding choruses and I think it's just what they prefer. I personally like the proggier stuff and I think track 10 *"Giovanni"* is a masterpiece. I think I've already mentioned the "live stream" two-fer of *"Manners / Black Hole."* Most fans will encourage you to watch "live" over "music video" but frankly they're both pretty good. The music video for 輪廻 *("Reincarnation" or "Rinne")* (pronounced "ree neh") is lo-fi Super-8 film. I'm not sure they've ever done djent but watch them make me eat my words with the next album! It is interesting how many reactors start changing the way they listen to music because of Band-Maid. I'm not saying you'll be one of them, but they seem to be artists who can use acrylics as well as pastels and make it all really good. They love contrast. Even with this one, the sweet clean section that follows that bass -> guitar section is contrast. They build right back to the final chorus. They seem to like that sort of thing. A philosophy, like you can't have a valley without a hill, and you can't have loud without quiet. Finally, the lyrics for *"Hate?"* are absolute venom. It's a bit more on the "rock" side but you might like it just for that! I'm looking forward to your next one!

[@paulpetersen879]

The Maids are their own genre brother. They put everything in their music. Pop, punk, prog rock metal it doesn't matter. The Maids crush.

[@dirtjumpers96]

The best modern rock band nowadays. No doubt. Good reaction!. Try with "Alone" first, then... all their songs.

[@paulpetersen879]

One thing i love about the Maids is that no matter how hard they punch you in the face, they always bring it back to an excellent chorus that includes everyone. This band understands its audience.

[@_JimS]

"Unleash" was a 2022 release, it was just dropped recently so it's older that "Shambles". BTW that is real fire in that abandoned warehouse too.....these girls ain't skeert! LOL! I think you might like "Influencer"......great drum work there. It was released on the same album "Unleash".....it has everything in it.

[@JasoDip]

I'll check it out

[@OGMaidiac]

Thanks for your honest reaction. I been around for a few years, thinking the best of rock was behind us. But Band Maid proved me wrong. They can rock, metal do progressive or thrash. Try “moratorium ‘, Live. Akane ( the drummer) is the Queen of drum fills. As you enter the Band Maid rabbit hole, you’ll see she kick ass with the most beautiful smile. Love the Maids.

[@rjaywest378]

The more you get into Band-Maid's back catalogue, the more you realize they mix half a dozen or more music genres into just about every song.

[@rosssnel3117]

Told you they just might hook you! 😉For your next reactions, I'd suggest the just-released "Hate?" official live video and then the official music video for "From now on." Those two might turn you into a full-on raving Maidiac. And if you want really heavy and dark Band-Maid, check out "Rinne" (Reincarnation).

[@ullischuster1263]

Thumbs up👍. The right band-maid songs for you are Black Hole, Rinne and From now on. But for the live version of Black Hole you should buckle up first!

[@785boats]

As others have said, they have just released 'Hate' from the Yokohama concert. For bass & guitar solos', it is a must see. As is their previous release .....'Don't you Tell Me'

[@Jackgtd2]

Glad you stuck with these ladies. Plenty more mind blowing moments ahead I guarantee you. Their MV’s are great (Warning is another which I think you would enjoy the visuals) but they really shine live. These girls really come into their own in front of a crowd. Best all around band I’ve heard in decades. Enjoy the ride. I know I have.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Blooming, No God (live) Warning (live), Don't You Tell Me (live) & Puzzle (live)

[@JasoDip]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@pulp-tx6lq]

They just dropped Hate live which will melt your face and their instrumental masterpiece From now on official video will show you what level.they are on. Their style is a mad mixture of hard rock, metal thrash, grunge and pop. They are a genre unto themselves. That's why so many older dudes love them because they harken back to the 80's and 90's hard rock/metal scene. They are a phenomenal band 🤘

[@greylocke100]

The Ladies refer to themselves as "Hard Rock", although they do incorporate many, many, many other genres of music into their sound. From Jazz, R&B, Classic Rock, Metal, Pop, Punk and even Classical music. All of them are just ingredients that the Ladies incorporate into their music to give us the best songs they can. The Ladies have defined what is basically their own genre. A Bass Forward, Hard Rocking style incorporating multiple genres, many times in the same song, to give a cohesive whole that IS the Band-Maid sound. This was recorded in a warehouse in the outskirts of Tokyo, that has been used for other productions. If you REALLY want your mind blown, check out one of their oldest songs that was written by and arranged by the Ladies. Go to their channel, click on "Releases", then scroll down to "YOLO", when the playlist loads, click on "Unfair Game" Trust me, you will have your mind blown again.

[@falconsooner]

Thanks for giving them another listen. They can play anything. I don't know if Don't You Tell me is your musical taste but you will definitely appreciate the musicianship. It is and older song. Hate? and From Now On are likely more up your alley as well as Moratorium and Real Existence Live.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

They can do it all, metal, rock rock, jazz, ballad. Take a trip, maybe go way back to the first, Thrill, then Non Fiction Days, and go from there. It's a wild ride.

[@SkullAngel002]

BM's signature is that they dabble in different subgenres of rock (as you see with Shambles) so there's something for everyone. Here you go man, welcome to the BM rabbit hole: Warning! (MV) Hate? (Official Live) Freedom (2020 live) Domination (2020 live) From Now On (MV) Onset (MV) Don't You Tell Me (Official Live)

[@JasoDip]

Hell yeah thanks for the suggestions 🤘

[@jeffedwards9180]

Great reaction to a killer song! Me and my daughter saw the Maids 3 days after they released this MV in Minneapolis at The Varsity Theater (sold out). Excellent show for my 1st time seeing them.... we all hoped we'd get the 1st live performance of this song, but unfortunately, it was in Sacramento a week later. 🤘

[@dennisthemenace671]

Shambles is the closing song for Anime Kengan Ashura an anime about fighters its on netflix , the fire was real . next song Rinne MV .

[@Davey-Boyd]

They do some really beautiful ballads too (love letters to their fans) 😍But, more up your alley try the Music Video's to "Warning", "Blooming", "From Now On" (an insane instrumental) or "Rinne" (Rinne = Reincarnation).

[@JasoDip]

I hear Rinne is a good one ☝️

[@killermonjero]

@@JasoDip It is.

[@jasonnord785]

Yeah, Band-Maid is the real deal. More please. Waiting for you to also discover Nemophila, too. 😏😎

[@JasoDip]

That’s right you suggested Nemophila before, I’ll work on it

[@994pt4]

Yes!!! Nemophilia 'Dissention' MV is a good start. Then 'Zen' (live) for even heavier song. 'Ama-Te-Ras' is groovy metal mix...soooo good!

[@killermonjero]

Definitely Nemophila. If you like heavy, do "Dissension" for an appetizer. "Zen" and "Ame-Te-Ras" will round out the meal. But I think their best song is "Adabana."

[@rakjr6]

Zen (live).

[@bertg2779]

Glad that you are discovering what we have known all along. These girls ROCK!

[@DAVID-io9nj]

Band Maid self identifies as a hard rock band. They do every flavor of rock. A good example is their 2 in 1 video of Manners, and Black Hole. They consider Manners their core sound. Black Hole is a faster attempt at controlled chaos.

[@evilducks3710]

Shambles, now with 73% more drum fills! You should definitely check out the new release from today "Hate? Official Live" They're still primarily rock, so I think they're not going to be your favorite favorite band... maybe they'll convince you that Hard Rock is better than you think. Still, they have some metal stuff you'll definitely dig like this.

[@MaidFrenzy]

Awwwesome song ,,,, HOWEVER (as in nearly every other comment here) they just released "Hate" from their Yokohama Arena concert and I think all the Madiac's will agree, it's the best thing they have ever released (and they have one hellava catalogue) ... and ... it's LIVE. New Subby from Aust ... see you soon.

[@johnterry1852]

Great reaction. Btw, I love your hat.

[@JasoDip]

Thank you! 😁

[@994pt4]

My favorite by them so far! And if you want more 'metal' check out NEMOPHILA!....Start with 'Dissention', 'Zen' (live), 'Revive', 'Rise' and go from there. They are my favorite of the all-female Japanese bands. Also, check out Hanabie 'We Love Sweets', 'Be the Gal summer ver.', 'Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now' Have fun!

[@JasoDip]

I hear Nemophila is heavy!

[@AK-tv6bo]

Best hard rock band on the earth❗️

[@JasoDip]

🤟

[@dustykatt]

The cage theme ties in to the Anime this song was made for which was based on fighting, "Kengan Ashura" . BM Can do it all, hard rock, metal, and ballads.

[@tamotsuish]

Thanks so much nice reaction! They have many musical elements. Please try to find it! first of all I recommend secret my lips.

[@jeffreyrigby2387]

Apparently many of the comments giving suggested listens haven't heard what your preferences are. If you want music that you prefer try..."From Now On" (Instrumental), Renne, "Warning", Moratorium", "Blooming", "Puzzle", and "So What" to name a few. I feel that if you start with tunes you really like you will find yourself drawn in to almost everything they do. Great reaction. Welcome to the world of Maidiacs!

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and we call ourselves "maidiacs", but the band calls us "Masters and Princesses" since they are a band of maids serving up the best 120 course meal of rock in the world. Enjoy your journey into the pigeon hole that is Band-Maid and you have only 120 songs left to listen to. Shambles is the 2rd season closing song for a Netflix anime series "Kengan Ashura", a brutal fight anime, starting on Sept. 21st. It was written (music and lyrics) to match the anime theme.

[@smeeegss7697]

just subscribed!! if you like metal more on the heavy side check out all female Japanese band, Hanabie pronounced hanah bee ehh song Called we love sweets. trust me they are fucking amazing and yes that's the lead singers voice!! not spoiling anything else lol

[@IAMisLove]

👍An awesome MV by the MAIDs. 🖖❤

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Yes, Shambles is the Akane show with special guest stars Kanami, MISA, Saiki and Miku. But wait! Was it really the Kanami show, because she wrote the song and played it with such forcefulness and exquisite abandon. Or was it the MISA show because without MISA, the rapturous drive of the song would be a ride on four flat tires. Or was it the Saiki show because she focused the sonic chaos into a song with melodies that could express Miku's lyrics like no other singer could. Without Saiki, Shambles might sound like a familiar instrumental. Or was it the Miku show because, damn, she wrote the lyrics, played the important rhythm parts, and added her unique brand of backup vocals that have become a defining "sixth instrument" of Band-Maid. So exactly whose show was it? It was the Maid's show, as usual! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, Jaso!

[@Parker--]

Highly suggest doing Hate Live or Domination Live if you want heavy. Don't You Tell Me is more pop-rock and unfortunately the live version doesn't mix in the crowd vocals so it sounds like a chunk of the chorus is missing. You will have more fun with Hate or Domination live. "Rinne" (Reincarnation) is also what I would call thrash metal (MV even has a late 80's/early 90's camera motif) Band-Maid are masters of whatever combination of sub-genres they decide to take on for that song.

[@billmcleangunsmith]

Many of the Japanese bands have mastered the art of mixing genres. It is not uncommon to hear pop, rock, metal, metal core, and rap in the same song. You find yourself thinking, "This shouldn't work. But it does." "It shouldn't sound so good. But it does."

[@JasoDip]

Great explanation, it just works somehow and sounds great

[@Kevin6059]

Believe me when I say it'll take at least 20 songs before you really know their sound and even then you won't. Play everything and they do it fantastically. They may touch on three or four genres in a single song. They do that often.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

If it's more actual Metal sounding B-M you want then look no further than their MV of "RINNE". It's about a serial killer who films his victims with an 8mm camera in the belief that he can capture the moment on film that their souls leave their bodies. Good wholesome fare.🙂

[@superflylee003]

JD thanks for reaction, if you like bass/lead guitar duels try checking out just released today(3/6) OMV 'HATE?' Live at Yokohama arena, but if you like the heavier vibe try OMV 'FROM NOW ON', on same level as 'SHAMBLES'

[@jeffreykuska7877]

Check out the instrumental “From Now On”. Very heavy !!

[@tsunami-lightwave9395]

It is from earlier in their career, but you need to check out the video for Rinne (Resurrection). They released it in response to some critics who said they were going too "poppy" and it hits HARD!

[@RudiTheMan]

Yes, Moar Handmaid,

[@WilliamHallisey]

I actually put a vinyl record by Weather Report with Jaco Pastorius and a bottle of Woodford Reserve whiskey in a gift box that I gave to Misa when Band Maid performed in Atlanta last May. The liaison from Live Nation assured me she got it.

[@brunobryant4846]

Now that is classy, how cool is it for you to know that Misa is appreciating your generous, well thought out gifts, a lazy Japanese afternoon and the Barefoot Assassin is chilling to Weather Report sipping fine liquor. A big Onya Mate from Australia 😄👍🍻🍻🎼🥃

[@motley22crue]

You want heavy Band-Maid? "Rinne" music video, "From Now On (Instrumental)" music video and they just released a new live video for "Hate?" which has a section that will leave your jaw dropped...

[@paulpetersen879]

Band Maid doing Band Maid things.

[@chakouyang2545]

The album is unseen world it will blows you away

[@zer0tzer0]

There is an Official LIVE Video for 'Shamble' but I prefer the OMV. But the LIVE's not bad and they have clips from the Netflix anime that it was commissioned for playing on the big screen behind them. The video for this was a day and night shoot in a warehouse in the dead of winter. The only time the girls were warm was the scene with the flames because while the cameras were rolling they couldn't wear their coats. But if you think BAND-MAID can't do Metal you should check out some of their more Metal influenced songs like, 'Black Hole', 'Different' and ;Rinne' which is very Thrashy. That's one that I prefer the OMV for, though it's very grainy because it was shot on 8mm film just like the Japanese Horror Movie that it gets it's name from. Just tell us which genres you prefer, there's a BAND-MAID song for that. Punk, Funk, Power Pop, Jazz and Metal. They even have soft acoustic ballads and Japanese Traditional influenced stuff. They are the shapeshifting chimera of music!

[@JasoDip]

Nice, I heard about the anime music they did. Thanks for the info

[@polskabob359]

We all know that look when we see it. It's down the pigeon hole for you my friend enjoy the ride po!

[@JasoDip]

It sure is! Thanks btw

[@joki5346]

If you like fire, I recommend "The non-fiction-Days" and "Warning". Both are metallic hard rock, so to speak.

[@nussekuddenxxx6564]

You might think B-M is metal or you might think they are pop, punk, an acoustic band or progressive. It all depends on what songs you happen to hear first. For your taste, I really think you would like the new upload "Hate?" live, the instrumental "From Now On", the crazy MV "Warning!", old school metal MV "Rinne", the old live of "Real Existence" and...I could go on.

[@jeffersoncosgrove1910]

Kind of how Sevendust will do a nice chordal based chorus with harmonies, only to go right back to heavy riffing. 👍

[@JasoDip]

Good call, Sevendust are great too

[@topographic1973ify]

You need to see the new live HATE? they just released this morning. I guarantee it'll blow your socks off. Want heavy? Watch RINNE or WARNING. Actually they play a large number of genres, the more you watch them the more you'll realize how good they really are.

[@abengkris]

Good reaction! Try "Warning!" - Band-Maid, then.

[@ericifune5543]

There is a good live version from NHK, the Japanese broadcasting network, from the end of last year. Unfortunately, it's been taken down. I actually prefer it to this version.

[@grahamreed8774]

They have become more metal in recent years and you will find more to your taste. Their 2021 album Unseen World has music for most rock/metal tastes such as Warning, I Still Seek Revenge, H G K, Why Why Why, Chemical Reaction and Black Hole. Or Corallium from the 2022 Unleash EP. Try any of these. Thanks for the reaction.

[@jeffreyrigby2387]

You should listen to some of their early songs. You're in for a treat. Lots of metal to go around.

[@keithmeyer9558]

I bet Puzzle will be on list after you see it . Rinne to.

[@SeulgiAbsFanclub]

I think you would like Hanabie or Nemophila. I suggest Lovebites if you like power metal. Band Maid is more of a hard rock infused with multiple genre. Hanabie "We love sweet" or "OTAKU Lovely Densetsu" and for Nemophila "Adabana" is a great showcase of their talents.

[@cius2112]

If you are enjoying their metal side i def suggest "Rinne"

[@JasoDip]

🤘

[@freewheeler2go]

Based on your comments on music preferences - rest assured there are a lot more BM songs you will dig.

[@JasoDip]

Oh I believe it 🤘

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

[@craigfenson]

4:30 you didn't pick the wrong song. trust us maidiacs, no band-maid song is a wrong choice. your opinion happens with every new listener.

[@marcbouchard1467]

check this one more heavier than shamble is Black hole and search for the live insane

[@WilliamHallisey]

While Nemofila and Lovebites are awesome, my favorite new J-Rock bands are Asterism and Hanabie. There are actually so many great rock bands in Japan, it's so damned hard to keep up. The Gaijin Guys, the Maid News Network, Venus Gaijin are incredibly helpful in helping the fans learn and know about what is happening in the scene.

[@jargraroch3000]

Even if little Japanese girls attempt vocals of true metal, it will still come out as sounding poppy. It's genetics and not much can be done about it.

[@DAVID-io9nj]

I'll take melodic poppy any day over irritating screaming! To each their own. That is why there are so many flavors of ice cream. And the band Hanabie does something about it.

[@JasoDip]

Oh for sure, not their fault.

[@Greg-om2hb]

Try the instrumental FROM NOW ON(OMV).. No Pop vocals there to distract you. And the very Metal song I STILL SEEK REVENGE (audio only). “Don’t be silly. It’s much too late for that.”. BTW, UNLEASH is one of their best songs. Soon you will understand. If it’s Thrash you like, LOVEBITES are a Japanese, all-female Metal band with an astounding twin-guitar attack that will knock you out. In BREAK THE WALL (live) they evoke SLAYER, TESTAMENT, and Gary Moore - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HGYYuBZdGBo7c And THE HAMMER OF WRATH (live) crushes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8Usi=JahMZ8ui-Laqwee9

[@Prober61]

No God and Rinne should be on your radar.

[@JasoDip]

Noted 🤘

[@shirato39]

If thrash metal is your place, BAND MAID may not be your world. In the case of metal, I think other Japanese metal groups are suitable. Their MAIDs definition is strictly rock, and even if they have fast songs, they are pop, hard, or part of progressive rock.

[@JasoDip]

Yeah I like heavier metal but that’s why I’m doing this channel to expand my horizons so to speak

[@gaborberkes468]

Suggestions:Hate official live video, PUZZLE official live video, Don't you tell me official live video, Warning MV, From now on MV, Rinne MV,Real existence live video...

[@KenjaTimu]

Sometimes it takes time to get warmed up to a band. Why not have a pop chorus? That is the best part of pop. Not every single thing about pop music is bad. That is a loser mentality.

[@paulfarmer745]

You want to listen to Nemophila. Pronounced Nemo (Captain Nemo) Phil (guys name) Uh

[@RudiTheMan]

Ye, they can be cute and hard at the same time,

[@JasoDip]

That’s what SHE said!! 😂

[@MichaelRees1969]

Agree with others Hate ? or Don't tell me from Yoko but if you want a mindf#$k watch Manners/Black Hole go from groovy blues rock to an assault on the senses.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

More like a female Jaco Pastorius.
