BRODOWN REACTS |

[@galaxyheavymetal5292]

Midori is the strongest female guitarist in the world. Look at that mustle!!!!

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

This is Lovebites Metal - a new sub-genre. They combine the best of power metal, speed metal, thrash metal, and progressive metal and make something that surpasses all of those genres.

LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE

[@beldin2987]

"Slap like now .." and also of course "Tap like now .." 😀🤘🏼 Nice introduction for Fami, really like those tappings in the intro/outro, they never did something like that before.

[@danw6048]

There were three things that made me very happy after I first watched this music video. The first, of course, is the song itself which is now easily in my top 10 Lovebites songs. The second is the use of Fami in the song. I am hoping that this is how she will be used throughout the entire album but it could also be that this was one of the last songs completed for the album which would have given them more time to integrate Fami's skills more fully. The third is that this is an Asami/Mao composition. Asami's first two contributions were Epilogue and A Frozen Serenade so I assumed that those were to be the type songs to expect from her. When Winds of Transylvania was released I was impressed by her ability to crank it up when composing an anime theme. But then came Paranoia and I was amazed. My understanding is that she composed Paranoia because it was the type of Lovebites song she enjoys singing the most. She has done it again with Judgment Day but on a much grander scale. With this song, I have concluded two things - 1) Asami is a top tier power metal vocalist, male or female and 2) Asami and Mao (who for years wrote for Fuki) know how to compose songs that shows off Asami at her best. As great as the instrumentals are in Judgment Day, it is Asami that shines throughout (including her acting performance in the music video) and it is her vocals that stick the landing. I am even more excited about the upcoming album since we will get at least one more Asami/Mao composition and at least 5 from Miyako.

[@stinky_nut_blast]

I do agree, it's like Jimi Jamison once said: "It's the singer, not the song." You can have the best song ever written, if the singer can't deliver (e.g. not his register or style) you don't get the audience.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@stinky_nut_blast Asami = the one and only voice!

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I agree with what you said. Asami has improved and taken it up a notch. She really shines in this one. Killer song. Fami too, her bass work in this is fantastic and adds a lot to the overall enjoyment of the piece.

[@GrayFox14]

💥Hours after the release of Music Video 🐺, new LOVEBITES ⚖ song "Judgment Day" has already topped #1 iTunes Japan music songs chart, as well as Metal and Rock music video charts ⚡🤘

[@mighty_themultitasker]

To answer your question, Fami is the new bass!! She was awesome from the beginning & end, and Harupi is amazing!💖 but great reaction!✌🏾

[@pinoypower69]

LOVEBITES RULES!!!

[@alekhidell]

Lovebites staple is actually power metal, Iron Maiden style. Thrash is perhaps the second genre they compose regularly and they do virtually everything in between and either side. JPU records (the British licensees) showed the track list for the album due on 22nd February. It looks very much like a concept album, or at least an album with a consistent theme. This is the second track. I’m seeing them in Tokyo three weeks after release. I’m betting that they open the show with this because they now use a video intro and this one fits the bill.

[@mmcpa]

Power Metal was never a favorite of mine. I'm a thrash/speed guy first. I love guitar solos. Exodus is my favorite thrash band. The late 70's to the early 90's was the best era of metal, period. I became a metalhead in 1971 thanks to Zeppelin. This song is my all-time favorite song, and Lovebites is my all-time favorite band. Miyako is my all-time favorite musician. Go figure.

[@truebrodown]

I'm baffled by people in Gen X who say there is no good new music. They purposely avoid it.

[@mmcpa]

@@truebrodown You have to realize many live in a vacuum, and don't look globally for music. IN all honesty, I stumbled on Lovebites around 2 years ago from a reaction video. I though, have been searching for new metal to this day, and have found bands like Lovebites, Bloodywood, etc. Many stick with what they know.

[@waterwalker9600]

Oh yeah, HARUNA lit set that Pearl kit on fire. This was better than I hoped for. 🤘🐺🤘

[@nandonj3662]

This is Lovebites 2.0 power unleashed …..they’ve raised the bar, this is a message for any other metal band out there

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

[@hiawatha.g]

Thanks for coming back to Lovebites. They have leveled up, and there seems no limit for them now. Don't worry, they do a variety of stuff--straight-up rock, thrash, powermetal, progressive rock and metal, even ballads. You have a lot to experience.

[@gitterich]

Ha ha ha looks like Daddy Brodown now has a young wolf girl 🐺from the Wolfpack living under his roof. Keep an eye on him, young daughter. When he gets cheeky with the Lovebites women, smack him (only fluffy) between the ears.😁🤣🤣 Merry Christmas to the honorable members of House Brodown! 🤘🎄🤘

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

She is his wife.

[@kyles5513]

They're a power/thrash metal band, been that way since the beginning. They just make new albums sound better than the last and they succeed with that every time, and it shows. And you got it right about the guitar players.

[@_b0h4z4rd7]

I think it's not about genre, it's about you like the musicians and their talent. Lovebites could make a random song in any genre and I still would love it.

[@kielanuar213]

Just another mindblowing masterpiece song by Lovebites. The next level art of musicianship 👍👍

[@leeca98]

🚨E. P. I. C. 🔥🐺 Lovebites 2.0. The evolution of ☠️Heavy Metal☠️🎸

[@taz2491]

Glad you came back to Lovebites! They came back with a BANG! Their new bassist is Fami, and she is a phenomenal bassist! Has her own KZbin channel with a huge amount of videos worth checking. Full disclosure: I don't think the covers she plays there are your cup of tea, but they really showcase her talent. Funny you mentioned Marty Friedman. Did you know he also hosts a Japanese tv show called Rock Fujiyama (with 2 other guys as hosts) They introduce Japanese rock/metal artists for their home audience. He had Midori and Miyako as guests last year where they talked about guitar players who inspired them. If you're interested look up gurra88's KZbin channel and search for "rock Fujiyama" this one has English subtitles (the original unfortunately does not). There are 2 parts one for each girl. Merry Xmas! 🎄🎁😁

[@1970Phoenix]

Power Metal also isn't my favourite genre, but I love Lovebites because they are simply such good musicians. I prefer their more thrashier songs, but even their Power Metal songs are REALLY good songs.

[@xmetax]

They kinda treated their new bassist the exact opposite of how Metallica treated their new bassist (Newsted) lol

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

Couldn't agree more! I still remember how much I had been looking forward to AJFA, because I had loved Jason's clearly audible bass on Flotsam and Jetsam's debut, and what a huge letdown this album was for me - not only in this regard, though. I've been asking myself if Fami joining Lovebites might give us an idea of what it could have been like if Les Claypool had joined Metallica (provided they hadn't done to his bass what they did to Jason's).

[@kyles5513]

After cliff Metallica didn't care who the next bass player was. Just needed a spot to be filled so they don't look silly with no bass player. Lovebites wanted the best bass player they could find to match them and now they are all on the same level. Even the singer has improved her voice and singing-english accent. Can actually understand her now. Incredible return I would have to say. Of course Metallica wanted a great bass player, they just didn't want him to take the attention away from them.

[@DavidGatson]

If you've only heard 6 songs, you need to hear a lot more LOVEBITES songs. They are more diverse than you can imagine. They have 50 songs, by February it will be 60.🎶🎶👍🏾👍🏾

[@truebrodown]

We will get there. We are trying to spread them out over time. It's hard because we love everything we've heard so far.

[@danw6048]

You are close. Prior to Judgment Day they had 45 songs in their catalog not counting instrumentals or covers.

[@mmcpa]

They are phenoms.

[@GrayFox14]

Thanks for the reaction! LOVEBITES are the GODDESSES of heavy , power , thrash metal ! But LOVEBITES isn't just limited to these genres of metal. In 2018 , LOVEBITES won the prestigious Metal Hammer GOLDEN GODS Award for "Best New Band" (London,UK). The winners of the GOLDEN GODS Award in different years and in various categories were such famous bands and musicians,such as : Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Twisted Sister, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Zakk Wylde, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Saxon, Nightwish, Rammstein, Sabaton, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy (and this is not a complete list). LOVEBITES is a Japanese all-female metal band, formed in 2016 by former Japanese heavy metal band DESTROSE members Miho( bass,backing vocals) and Haruna(drums). The band has successfully performed at various major international rock-festivals many times .In the spring of 2018, LOVEBITES performed on the Japanese leg of the Warped Tour. In August 2018, they performed at Wacken Open Air (Germany), becoming the first Japanese female rock band to perform at the festival. Also in August 2018 they performed on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air (UK). In 2019, LOVEBITES performed at the Download Festival in Donington (UK) and Download Festival in Madrid (Spain). Their performance in Donington was named by the festival organizers and Metal Hammer magazine as one of the highlights of the festival! In the same year they performed at the Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) and the Summer Sonic Festival (Japan). Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic that began in 2020 prevents LOVEBITES from performing at festivals and forced a drastic reduction of concerts. LOVEBITES is a phenomenal band, all the ladies are talented musicians! For 5 years they have recorded about 50 songs and all the songs are very good ! Plus, in February 2023, the 4th studio album "Judgement Day" will be released with 10 new songs. 🐺Miho - bass, backing vocals (in August 2021 she left the band). 🐺Haruna - drums. 🐺Midori - guitars, backing vocals. 🐺Miyako (Mi-Ya)- guitars, piano, keyboards, backing vocals. 🐺Asami - lead vocals, piano. 🐺Fami - bass, backing vocals (since October 2022). 🐺Miho has been playing the piano since the age of 5. She started playing the bass guitar in school. Great bass player! The fact that such a wonderful band appeared is, first of all, the merit of Miho. She came up with the idea of ​​starting a band and what kind of music the band would play, a combination of power metal and "old school" heavy metal. Miho was able to find and unite all these talented ladies in LOVEBITES. 🐺Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, she also plays keyboards. Haruna is the smallest (4 '9 ") , but appearances are deceiving. When Haruna sits down at the drums, this is the "little BIG Engine." She is one of the best drummers in Japan. 🐺Midori (blond hair) has been playing the piano since she was two years old and the electric organ since she was eight. She started studying guitar at the age of 20. Super guitarist, "Crazy Shredder". She surpasses many male guitarists in speed and technique of playing the guitar. Graduated from ESP / MI JAPAN ( Osaka ) , GIT-DX department (superfast guitar department). ESP / MI JAPAN is an International Music Institute , headquartered in Hollywood, California, USA. 🐺Miyako (black hair) has been playing the piano since the age of three, received a classical education (piano) and wanted to pursue a career as a pianist. She has been playing the guitar since the age of 18. Super guitarist! They call her "The Golden Touch" and she is a real musical genius. Miyako is the main composer of the band, she wrote over 50% of the music. * In terms of teamwork , synchronization and harmonization of guitars , Midori and Miyako today are perhaps the best pair of guitarists in the world playing metal. One music critic said that two guitarists of this level (Midori and Miyako) in the same band is a crime!😊 🐺Asami started with R&B and soul music . She studied classical ballet for about 16 years (this is noticeable in her movements on stage, especially the movements of her hands). Started ballet lessons at the age of two. After leaving school, Asami lived for some time in the US, where she came to study jazz and hip hop dance. Plays the piano. Asami wrote most of the lyrics of the band's songs. 🐺Fami is 20 years old, plays bass, keyboards, guitar, writes songs, sings. She has already released her solo album, which she dedicated to graduating from school. Despite his youth, Fami has experience of performing with famous musicians. All songs LOVEBITES are written in English. Unlike other metal bands, LOVEBITES are always on stage in white dresses . White dresses are their style. The Wolf is the mascot of LOVEBITES and is featured on all band's albums except the first EP "The Lovebites". The band's fans call themselves the 🐺Wolfpack🐺

[@AngelLWJ]

Freaking amazing new song, and midori looks 💪🏻🔥 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻

[@alearr]

I don’t even like power metal, yet Lovebites is my favourite metal band. They returned in version 2.0, the song is really “full” of sound and they are so talented and tight. Plus, this song is a grower. 🐺🤘🏻 But I think you need another thrash masterpiece by them “M.D.O.” kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKvcenl7YsqFfpo

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

What you say seems to apply to several people, including myself, because except for a very few exceptions to the rule, I've never been much into Power Metal, whereas Thrash Metal has always been my overall favourite metal subgenre, but I love Lovebites' Power Metal songs about as much as their Thrash Metal songs - some of them even better than some of their Thrash Metal songs! But I have also read comments by people coming from the other side, i.e. saying that they usually don't like Thrash Metal, but that they love Lovebites' Thrash Metal songs. Thus it looks like Lovebites in a way manage to unite fans of different subgenres. I even enjoy songs like "Dancing With the Devil" or "Spellbound", though I otherwise usually don't care about music in this vein.

[@fatboynick4104]

The beauty (no pun intended) of Lovebites are the different styles of metal they play. With the exception of a few bands, power metal is generally not a style of metal I prefer. Lovebites is one of the exceptions. This song absolutely kicked my ass. I can't get enough of it. As far as Fami goes, no disrespect to Miho, who is a fantastic bass player, but Fami is at a whole different level on the bass. These ladies constantly up their level of talent time and time again. Regarding Miyako, who looks stoic while she is playing, I am convinced that while she is playing, she is writing new songs in her head. The woman is a musical savant!!

[@fab1901]

In the reaction to "Empty Daydrem", it was surprising that the 1979 release Reo Speedwagon "Back On The Road Again" was pointed out to me, which surprised me. Until then, I thought it was influenced by Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (released in 1982), performed by JENNIFER BATTEN, one of Miyako's top five guitar heroes." As for "Empty Daydrem", I think Miyako's composition was influenced by "Beat It", but I didn't know there was an original source. I look forward to your analysis. Please keep up the good work with LOVEBITES. P.S.. Since you often talk about Miyako's guitar I have attached the material of Miyako's magic modified DEAN guitar. [V Select Flame Maple Floyd PG Trans Red MYK] Miyako's DEAN Signatur Guitar (red V-shaped guitar) replaced with Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Set Gold pickups and a custom pickguard. Its custom pickguard is slightly different in shape and size from those for general sale use. [Dean Icon USA Flame Top -Faded Denim] USA Icon is a passive pickup converted to an active pickup. Miyako's DEAN Guitar replaced with Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Set Nickel pickups. The rear pickup has been replaced with an Ovaltone ROSSO-鵺-NUE DEVICE (red) and the front pickup with an Ovaltone NERO-鵺-NUE DEVICE (black) condenser.

[@truebrodown]

Every song is derivative of something else, the influences always peak out. We listen to so much music daily that it's impossible not to hear some of the influences. I love that. On an average day, we listen to 70's and 80's rock mainly. When a new metal band we like releases something, we dive into that. But this channel has provided us with a much broader appreciation of other Countries interpretations of the music we are familiar with listening to daily. I could do a week long segment on songs that sound like other songs. But, I love them all. It's amazing with as limited the amount of chords there are on a guitar the millions of songs created on them.

Miyako, (Dean Girl) does most of the composing for the band. Along with being world class, classically trained pianist that taught herself to play the guitar when she was 18. Yes, she probably is bored, she can do anything musically, even play both a keyboard and guitar at the same time. Watch "Burden of Time" live studio version for proof. See "Swan Song" with then Chopin (Show-pan) intro, if you want to her talent on piano and guitar, which she composed the music also.
