If you want heavy Band Maid do Rinne mv. If you want slower Band Maid lsten to Daydreaming mv, a power ballad. If you want to see their divirsity check out the official live twofer, Manners and Blak Hole. Manners is bluesey classical rock. Black hole in just mayhem...

Bassist is MISA. Lead vocals Saiki. Drums is Akane. Lead guitar (and composer) is Kanami(she shreds, not in this song). Rhythm guitar, backing (sometimes lead) vocals, founder and lyricist is Miku Kobato.Thanks for the reaction!

Thank you for the information, I am enjoying learning of all the bands that should be given more of a push worldwide.

If you listen you can hear Kanami doing a lot of cool stuff in here, though. She’s an extremely active player!

[@bocatampere]

11 years and 140+ songs of pure greatness 🔥❤️ Was working 30 years in rockbusiness, seen few thousand gigs and NEVER seen or heard BETTER band than Band-Maid. They have it all..Passion Work Heart Talent Groove. Magical band, amazing musicians, best friends. For me..Kanami Tōno, lead guitarist and composer,( black dress guitarist) is the most impressive musician of the 21st Century, maybe even ever. Composes always to the whole band, shreds when it serves the song most( usually 😂) and on stage true Rock’n Roll Star 🔥❤️ Lovin Band-Maid -Greatest Band of our time. Greets from Finland 🇫🇮 and Yeah..Rock/Metal is not dead yet..it just lives in Japan nowadays.

[@piddeandersson4628]

Great reaction! This song is a masterpiece of complex songwriting. Kanami often (almost always) goes off-piste when she writes songs. Expect the unexpected! Band-Maid is my favorite band -- I love Lovebitesm Hagane, Hanabie, Nemophila and the others, but I've always been more into rock/hard rock/punk rock/alternative than pure, traditional metal.

[@davem1255]

Very great songwriting in this one for sure. Yes I enjoy Lovebites, Hagane, now Band-Maid. I am so impressed with the different song writing style of them all. So much Talent from these women.

Hi Dave, Welcome to the wonderful world of BAND-MAID. Lead guitarist Kanami Tono wrote this masterpiece. She was recently presented by Paul Reed Smith on stage with her very own Signature PRS guitar, becoming the first and only person in Japan with such an honor. there are 1 or 2 songs where there is no guitar solo and you found one quickly lol but don't worry, there are roughly 140 songs to explore ;) BAND-MAID and Lovebites are friends and Asami, Midori and Haruna all attended BAND-MAIDS 10th Anniversary Finale at Yokohama Arena. BAND-MAIDs drummer Akane and Lovebites drummer Haruna often celebrate birthdays together as the birthdays are just 1 week apart in December If you love bass then you'll be very happy with "Hate?" live from Yokohama Arena on their official YT channel but even after that you still ain't heard nuthin yet lol enjoy the ride! Cheers from Canada

The music composition and arrangement comes from the genius that is Kanami (lead guitar). She often/but not always, composes in what I call an orchestral style ie Brass section, string section and woodwind etc. Where different elements of the music are ascribed to the different members of the band, but played together produce the instrumental element of the song. Miku (Red Rose. band founder, Backing vocals, Rhythm guitar) is the main lyricist, with contributions from Saiki (Lead vocals). The rhythm section is MISA- Bass and Akane- Drums. Great reaction- Thanks (UK)

Band-Maid is absolutely fantastic in every way. I'm an old 80's metal guy and Band-Maid has had 100% of my attention for about 5 years now ... they are all I listen too! They are so good in every.

[@philbrowning1187]

Dave, welcome to the world of Band-Maid. You’ve taken an unusual route in by going straight into Forbidden Tale off their latest album Epic Narratives. They’ve mixed together several rock genres in this song. I’ve followed a lot of the greatest rock bands of all time over decades and believe me, these ladies are as good as anyone I’ve ever seen. They are phenomenal live so I would try an official live video next. My route into Band-Maid wad the ‘Domination’ official live video. You picked out the bass on this video particularly. It’s not surprising, Misa is the bass player and I’ve not seen anyone who is better. This is coming from someone who is a massive fan of Geddy Lee!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Welcome, Dave. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 220 million YT views, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (144 songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 80 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XWaJppgpJnorM Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, You, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, The One, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Protect You, Sense, Different, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX2lkHiGiJlrfqc) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzbin.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:  2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJKUqmCIh7uXbZI  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHLHiKF_h896l80  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6K0n35_gbdoq5I  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent.  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epjbhmCDi8-nl5I  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJu9nIGbpKygnsU  Great photo collage with older classic songs from P in D: www.youtube.com/@PinD-PANIC If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out:  "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009  Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI  Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 33 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 33 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 34 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 32 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

And their latest 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF concert at KT ZEPP YOKOHAMA on February 22, 2024, where they played songs not performed at the 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Arena, was SOLD OUT, as usual!  📢 Recent Announcements 📢 -- The Warning, a world-famous band from Mexico, and BAND-MAID recently completed their amazing 2-man, collab concert in Japan with the introduction of their new song and OMV, “Show Them.” -- BAND-MAID released a new OMV, "Forbidden Tales," from their new album "Epic Narratives" that dropped Sept. 25, 2024. It contains 14 songs: Memorable, Shambles, Bestie, Protect You, SHOW THEM (BAND-MAID with The Warning), Toi et Moi, Magie, Forbidden Tale, Go Easy, Brightest Star, The One, Letters To You, TAMAYA!, and Get To The Top. Order now at CDJapan for bonuses. The Maids are one of the hardest working supergroups in the business!
