LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn？ God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) SOLO: midori / mi-ya [miyako] What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath SOLO: mi-ya [miyako] ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017

Great reaction Joel ! As a very established stage manager, Rocko could tell from his many years of experience that the musicianship of these ladies are top-notch and that they're phenomenal LIVE.

[@BearerOfTheWord.]

Oh, wow. That last blocking is a bid for the record. Very quickly, you managed to split the reactor. That was a rotten nut. Fools like that aren't trained to think with their brains. I'm sure he didn't even check it out, just fell for your lies.

[@BearerOfTheWord.]

It turns out to be quite simple. The cultists simply point a finger at an unwanted person, and the obedient reactor instantly fulfils the will of its masters.

[@boyzyu]

@@BearerOfTheWord. 🤣😂

[@boyzyu]

Well, looks like the notorious troll has arrived in this reaction in a different guise.

[@1970Phoenix]

@@BearerOfTheWord. Got a new account you sad little troll.

[@1970Phoenix]

Rocko clearly has excellent taste in music.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Rocko knows greatness when he sees/hears it! Is he able to help set-up some tour dates for Lovebites in the USA? He has the connections and the experience to get the ball rolling. 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼

[@guitarzen5999]

That would be awesome but unfortunately that's not the way it works. A team of people would be involved in tour planning and that wouldn't include a stage or tour manager.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@guitarzen5999 Are you trying to tell me a "tour manager" is not involved in planning a tour? I realize it is not one person, which is why I said he "has the connections". I'm sure he knows "tour managers" who plan tours.

[@guitarzen5999]

@TheCyberMantis A tour manager takes care of the day to day business of the band on tour ,like accommodations, interviews, merchandise, things like this. A stage manager is in charge of everything that goes on, on stage at the shows. These jobs don't include planning a full tour and what cities and venues the band plays in. This is an oversimplified version of what each job entails. I'm sure Rocko knows many people but I don't think he's got the power to do what you suggest.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@guitarzen5999 I'm not sure either, which is why I mentioned it. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he doesn't even want to get involved. Which is fine too.

[@user-gs5tt4mi9s]

Miyako 🔥💯🔥🎸

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

When you have stage managed a list of bands like Rocko has, you know what you're talking about! The facial expressions when the solos began said, 'lost for words', great reaction from an expert who knows his stuff. WOW was the first thing said when song finished. 😂🤘🎸🎹🎤🥁🐺

[@mmcpa]

Rocko gets it: "Everybody is excellent musicians and great players". Whether you like the song or not, or enjoy this type of metal or not, to not acknowledge what he stated 100% shows you have no clue what music is. Taste is one thing, talent is another. Pure talent here across the board.

[@klaymor73]

I freakin adore "little engine" Haruna, she's a hell of a drummer!!!

[@tonygriffin_]

It really makes me smile seeing all these music people - musicians, singers, crew - getting introduced to my favourite bands and realising that there's a whole new world of Metal and Rock of the highest quality to explore. Thanks for what you do, it's a great journey that is helping to spread the word about all the very best 21st century Metal and Rock that the women of Japan are creating.

[@WalterChong-ny6zr]

Love midori💚💚💚💚💚

[@FURIOSA175]

An entertainer who captivates the audience with a wide range of songs. and the advanced skills of each individual A miraculous group of first-class musicians. The joy of watching a metal band called LOVEBITES Japanese music culture? NO MUSIC, NO LIFE？ Yes 🤘 NO LOVEBITES, NO LIFE

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

This one just gets better and better the more you listen to it. This is a classic. Like zepp diver city Holy War.

[@pometele]

Great job as always, Joel! Thanks a million for spreading the word!

[@ricardo__jr]

His expression is priceless!

[@scottfield5849]

Man! Once these ladies FINALLY have a US Tour, they're going to *destroy*! (They've got one US festival this year, and it sold out) Rock on! 🤘😎👍

[@kyles5513]

This song and Judgment Day is what I show my first time friends to Lovebites. Usually in that order too haha.

[@faintsmile88]

Love Lovebites 🐺🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@johnmagill7714]

Is it just me or does Rocko look a lot like Greg The Hammer Valentine from the old WWF days?

[@gitterich]

Well, that was really good. Video and reaction.🗼🌏

[@noelle3551]

Listening to the conversation, it brings back a lot of memories! I roadied a bit for a friend of mine before he moved to another band. incidently, he plays now for a number of years with Quireboys! To my surprise, he told me he has a side project with Joe Elliot called down n outz!

[@evilvolts]

Thank You for showing him Lovebites ]:)

[@alexblane-layder3902]

...tghey are just as good as lovebites - how daaaare you hehehe...great reaction by a legend of the business!

[@outwest1014]

I hope Joel does a Bio on the bands off camera.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Thanks again Joel - you rock !!! And so does LOVEBITES!!!

[@Hadesillo]

Really good, thank you!

[@allenhuling598]

Appropriate reaction from a man that knows an awesome band when he sees one! Seemed like he had a bit more to say about them and I would have enjoyed hearing it....just my impression! Thanks for always supporting Lovebites, Joel!🤘

[@traxan650]

Lovebites got their name from Halestorm's "Love Bites (So Do I)"

[@billb.5183]

Haruna the little engine going off in this one. The drummer talent pool in Japan is DEEP. I hope you show him "Puzzle" live or "Play" live by the maids. Maybe switch it up a little.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Fami Fami Fami!

[@marks5451]

Great stuff. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@pinoypower69]

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

[@mariorolandoerazo4137]

Miyako ❤❤❤

[@radioraffa]

But they named their band after the Halestorm song "Lovebites (So Do I)" Not the 80s Def Leppard song. Since the members were babies or not even born yet. 😂

[@BearerOfTheWord.]

@BzhMopar22 What kind of nonsense is that? She's younger than Miyako, she's not even thirty yet. Even I know that.

[@coryowen1949]

​@@BearerOfTheWord. May want to roll that back. Miyako turns 34 in April, but Midori actually will be turning 36 in May.

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@Donegal62]

They are not named after the Def Leppard song. They are named after the Halestorm (Love bites, So Do I) song.

[@MrDportjoe]

Just as side note both you and Rocko should take a look at videos from Baby Metal 2023 at PIA arena just for all the moving parts and things to worry about as crew (well that and yeah they are just flat fun to watch).

[@outwest1014]

Joel, add Rolling Quartz, "Fearless" to your list for your buddies to listen to.

[@tsunami-lightwave9395]

They took their name from the Halestorm song "Love Bites (and so do l)" not from Def Leppard.

[@christiancouvidou4777]

🤘🐺♠👸🤘...👍

[@hardknox1917]

Bandmaid is better than Lovebites imho , but I don’t care much for power metal

[@imarumusic]

Yeah I'm agree with you if you said Band Maid is better rock band than LOVEBITES But if you said Band Maid is better metal band than LOVEBITES i'm sorry their album doesn't even nominated in any Metal awards, They even not performed in Wacken and Bloodstock, and They not even awarded by Metal Hammer for "Best All Female Metal Band in the world"

[@tcntad87]

Thats your unvalid opinion;)

[@TheCyberMantis]

Silly to compare the two bands. One is rock, and one is more metal. Both bands are great. Depends on your musical taste. I like metal, so Lovebites is my favorite. But Band-Maid is great too.

[@imarumusic]

@@tcntad87 he was not even tell what kind aspect that Band Maid is better than LOVEBITES, that dude is drunk 👀

[@imarumusic]

@@TheCyberMantis it was like comparing Gun n Roses with Metallica 🤣 people should stop did stupid things

[@zinoviylubman5553]

Don't like it. Not!
