Drummer Reacts to Lovebites "Painkiller" Judas Priest Cover

[@aldomattera2043]

Check out Haruna, the drummer of Lovebites, in a wild action in "Soldier stands solitarily" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWHciJypnrd1q68 You'll really melt your face!🙂

Best "Painkiller" cover

[@TheCyberMantis]

I would like to see Lovebites take a crack at Ozzy "Bark At The Moon". And yes, I would need a video of them playing it! ☺

[@boyzyu]

@@TheCyberMantis I like that song, but don't you think it might be too easy for the ladies to cover ?

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@boyzyu Yeah, it would be easy for them, but I would like to see them put their own spin on it. It's a good song to have fun with. Check out what this guy did with it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHK6fYCrqKxsf6s

[@boyzyu]

@@TheCyberMantis Yep, they'll probably need to put their own spin on it since Ozzy's only got one lead guitarist (Jake who was replaced by Zakk ?) and the riff/lick/lead duties will have to be shared by M&M. It'll be interesting to see how the ladies will cover this track

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@boyzyu This song actually has layers of guitars on the recording. Which is one reason people play it different. They are playing the different layers. Also there is a rhythm guitar track behind the solos doing the chord progressions. So I think this song is actually really suited for dual guitar. I can play all the rhythm parts, but I can't do the solo parts yet. I suck at solos. Maybe one day I will get those solo parts figured out.

[@alexanderrichter9740]

Asami knows that she cant copy Rob, so she did it here way to make it Sound cool enough. Great Job for that

[@aldomattera2043]

Lovebiites have recently met Rob Halford and the Judas Priest, and took pictures with them

[@michelm.6033]

Those pictures were fantastic! I love the contrast between the (big, tattooed, white males) and the, (sweet, tiny, Japanese females) who are every bit as hard.

[@rainerzufall42]

Yeah, that was at least the second time, in 2018, they gave him "Awakening From Abyss", this time, it was "In The Beginnining - The Best Of 2017-2021"...

[@marting.h.9417]

To me, best cover ever. Helloween’s “Eagle fly free” cover by amazing Lovebites is also outstanding. By the way, they only have 3 covers; they have a little more than 60 original songs.

[@gitterich]

Lovebites has created over 60 high-quality, first-class heavy metal songs in the last few years. The women compose (75%) and write (100%) the lyrics for these songs themselves. And there are dozens of high-quality live videos of them on KZbin. That's what's really interesting, impressive and unique about these women. Covers that were recorded in the studio are also nice, but they hardly ever do any because of the great original material: Judas Priest : “Painkiller” Helloween : “Eagle fly free” Halestorm : “Love Bites (So Do I)” We are old rock and heavy metal fans just like you, trust us and you will find a new favorite band. Next reaction video please : Soldier Stands Solitarily 🤘🤘

[@somewhere_on_earth00]

Even without gender, Lovebites is a top-level band, and Asami in particular is now a vocalist who will go down in history.

[@mmcpa]

I love this song, actually my favorite Priest song. I enjoyed Death's cover, and has been my favorite cover of this song until Lovebites did it. TO me personally, I like Lovebites version just a tad more than the original. M&M to me are the best dual leads ever, and they just smoked this song. And everyone else nailed it too, including Asami who did a phenomenal job with the vocals.

[@geertvandeperre1162]

lovebites are just so talented, they could play anything if they wanted. best metalband in the last decade!!!

[@billozzy5760]

Some thinks .....the girls went and saw Judas Priest met Rob Halford and they gave them a copy of this cover........no reactor understood how long the last scream lasted.........they played it a few times live but none of it was recorded or maybe it wasn't released........and I went to a live of Priest Ripper and you couldn't tell the difference with Rob (at least at that show).....

[@gatograto]

Great reaction.

[@yarduality]

Thank you for your LOVEBITES reaction and I find your stories interesting, don't stop, it's part of 🤘Heavy Metal🤘 Oh yes! John Bonham and Stewart Copeland are also among my big influences, who I unfortunately never saw live. I was able to experience many great heavy metal legends, including JUDAS PRIEST (the opening act was MEGADETH). Last year I went to a LOVEBITES concert and it was incredible. HARUNA cannot be put into words, of course you could describe her with well-known names like "she has the double bass power of a Dave Lombardo, the precise playfulness of a Neil Peart and a driving engine like John Bonham". She is a small lady, how can she, as a drummer, generate such power from the first second and then have the driving force/stamina you know from express trains? And if that wasn't enough, she does acrobatics with her drumstick and radiates infectious joy, unbelievable 💫

[@L.A55]

Wow..the talk..

[@VeljkoNikolic-is5px]

No one who saw Rob and ASAMI could compare that two singers, ASAMI as woman is special category. LOVEBITES ONE and ONLY are special for Judas Priest.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Junna's also got a fantastic drum cover of "Painkiller".

[@gt1man931]

Some folks want to knock on Asami for not sounding like Rob. That is just silly because I don't know any female that could do it as well, and I don't think anyone else has done it better that I've heard, not the total package, no way. Musically the double leads and drums are a match for the original if not better, I say that being a big JP fan(saw them live in the early 1980s, had the shirts and tapes).

[@VRsMagic]

🤟🏻🔥🐺🔥🤘🏻 PERFECTO‼️

[@marks5451]

I also would love to see LOVEBITES do this live, but alas they haven't as yet. They aced it here. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome, really enjoy this cover!! By the way, a few weeks back the Lovebites ladies went to see Judas Priest in Japan and got to hang out backstage with them. Took some photos together and even exchanged albums, the Lovebites ladies gave them the album this cover is on! 🤘🐺🔥

[@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts]

That's awesome!

[@dregeye]

​ @Middle-AgedMike-Reacts your voice & image in perfect sync for me ... Thanks for having a listen to this LOVEBITES 'cover' of "Painkiller" If you go to drummer "Little BIG Engine" Haruna's ✖ [at] harupidrums and scroll down to Dec 13, 2024 you will find pics of her & vocalist "The One And Only Voice" Asami with the Judas Priest band members. An excellent perception of how tiny these amazing women musicians are! Asami's voice from someone so small seems to defy physics & Haruna's skill, 'taste' & stamina are off-the-charts! She set up a cam at some of their UK/EU tour shows showing us these clips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6K2mqmefqeWn7s As a drummer myself, what she plays as "drum part" to their 5-6min songs surpasses what I watched other drummers do LIVE as a featured drum SOLO! I am not kidding, (Having seen LIVE Ginger Baker, John Bonham & Mitch Mitchell.) When you watch "Holy War" again notice her china & crash hits that mimic the instruments & even vocal melody. She does this type thing consistently in their original songs. Here is "The Apocalypse > M.D.O." LIVE 2021, Her precision transitions & fills in these amaze me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHKvmXmZgtaUna8 a playlist of LIVE songs with Haruna's drums boosted in the audio-mix. 🐺 dreg👁

[@rodhamm8484]

My two favorite bands rolled into one! Awesome cover song in every way. They do a cover for Helloween's Eagle Fly Free that is also great. 🤘🐺🤘

[@obud3777]

First guitar solo by Miyako, second solo by Midori! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

I think this IS live. And I think they have only done it once. And the audio was recorded this good. Might be off. But that is what I remember.

[@rainerzufall42]

Is this the version from "The Shining I" ?

[@ronaldtjahya9253]

I think Lovebites better than the original, sorry, you can check it, asami vocal more consistence, she hit that high note, drum, guitars, better, they relation with Rob (legend), good, try listen from 2022 up to now, amazing, thank you reacting Lovebites, carry on, tons to go.

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

Audio and visual was quite a lot out of sync, personally I found it a bit distracting, but otherwise you called it, they nailed it to the point of being their own, if someone never knew the original artist. They are lovebites and they have the midas touch 🤘🎤🥁🎸🎹🐺

[@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts]

Interesting. I was in sync when I exported. I guess I should check the YT video after I upload. Thanks for pointing that out.

Mike have you heard this Japanese girl drummer called JUNNA Painkiller / Judas Priest - Drum cover kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJDRia1qqt6EjLs or Through The Fire And Flames / DragonForce - Drum Cover kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3zVYntqf9tpn9U

[@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts]

That was suggested for me last night. I added them to my cue to check out and react to. Fun stuff.

[@jc8453]

@@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts Thanks this girl is a must watch mega energy and mega talent ENJOY

[@TimothyBond-h9h]

Thanks for the reaction but wow why talk so much about nothing interesting who cares who you met kisten to the music

[@TheCyberMantis]

Yeah, he pauses too much.

[@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts]

Cool, good to know your feelings. You do realize this is a reaction channel right? Not the music video? I thought a Rob Halford story would be appropriate. Not that I am always a great orator so I might have rambled. Ha Ha. I also try and put a bit of my life in each of these trying to relate to the song or artist in some way. But it is all good. Life goes on and I will keep on truckin.

[@Middle-AgedMike-Reacts]

Okay, this is a reaction channel. But all good. Thanks for the comment.
