FIRE! ! Metal Fan Reacts | LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire! (Reaction Video)

[@christopherlidster3918]

Government requirements for social distancing, this show was canceled initially, then was set again with heavier guidelines, no screaming, no yelling, clapping only. The fans were happy to go,. and lovebites were happy to play. I used to listen to Kittie when I was in high school. Their music was ok, but they are nowhere near the talent of the band you just watched. I understand wanting to compare them to women, but their talent level puts them with the big boys, Metallica, Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden. Lovebites is extremely fast and extremely technical.

[@DravenReactions]

100%! I wasn't trying to compare in the sense of talent but more so mentioning this song reminded me of the newer Kitty sound. Either way, lovebites keeps blowing me away every time I listen to them!

[@christopherlidster3918]

@@DravenReactions all good man, we try to connect things to something tangible, those things get related to things we know as black and white. No harm in your comparison at all I was simply speaking my opinion! Great reaction!

[@faintsmile88]

Yes, two bands I have to see live are Lovebites and Unlucky Morpheus. Try Awakening/Hammer of Wrath (Lovebites) kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8 Angreifer by Unlucky Morpheus kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXiuiJqDaa6CncU

Two of the very best...hopefully both revisit merry ole England

[@jmetallover]

Hey your wife should really love Swan Song with piano intro (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y), Miyako slays the keys and Asami does her ballerina dance throughout the song, blends classical piano and metal and makes it work. Here one of their darkest and heavier offering and Asami, the little Napoleon has really grown into her role as stage commander, crowd controller and lyricist supreme. Here no one plays Thrash better LIVE than Lovebites and the M & M show in all it's glory as usual. You may never know where a song will go but with Lovebites you know it will always by awesome and as close to flawless perfection as humanly possible. Enjoy the concert and remember act your age in the PIT, we don't need your wife coming on and telling us you are on hiatus thanks to the PIT!!!! (LOL)

[@DravenReactions]

hahah! OMG, This comment made my day. So my wife saw me moshpitting at the Trivium show I went to back in 2019 cause the concert was lived streamed onto Twitch and she was like " did you get pushed?" "Yes I did" "Are you okay? "Yes, I was fine til the next morning" "You're such an old man" lol But yes we got sits so we can enjoy the show but access to the pit if certain songs come on! I appreciate the suggestion. Her hesitation is she has never been on camera or anything like this so she is concerned she would just be quite the whole time and not know what to say. We may get a reaction eventually. Hopefully! lol

i know it's only been 2 1/2 weeks but aren't you going nuts wondering what is going through their heads right now ?

[@brandydynamite5877]

@@DocOfRock-p4j I'm an emotional wreck. Every time I watch a reaction now I practically wanna burst into tears. Has it really only been 2.5 weeks, feels more like 2.5 years already !

[@JFrancoDrums]

@@DocOfRock-p4j The worst part is their silence on social media, Miho is the only one who has posted something since the news was announced. Also something kind of scary, when they posted the announcement for "Set the world on Fire", Haruna was the only one who didn't post anything.

[@JFrancoDrums]

One of their heavier songs! Freaking amazing! Brutal thrash metal from LOVEBITES! These girls deserve to tour with Iron Maiden and im sure their fanbase would go absolutely nuts for this band! 🤘🙂🐺 Great reaction, thanks and have fun at the concert!

[@DravenReactions]

Yeah, I was thinking bout it when I mentioned seeing em live, who I would like to see em perform with, and Iron Maiden would be killer. Surprisingly, first time I saw Iron Maiden live, was because I went for their opener band, which was Arch Enemy of all bands lol.

[@JFrancoDrums]

@@DravenReactions LOVEBITES has played shows with Arch Enemy in their Japan tour. 🤘🙂🐺

[@Mrlovebitten]

Japan was under heavy restrictions for this concert witch is sad but it’s still a great thing for those who actually got to see them just the experience alone would have been worth it

[@jackelofnar]

About the setting this is due to the covid restrictions at the time ihe concert in Japan. You will find they are separated by a empty seat as well.

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

having live concert on this pandemic is really lucky. many bands cancelled their shows just because government restriction due to covid19 pandemic. but we have to appreciate the audiences, because they really obey the rules while watching the show.

LOVEBITES - Set The World On Fire lyrics: The blue moon colors the blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and a fearless smile Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Hear haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell Distorted madness is sneering Incompetent, cowardly fools A pitiful and painful punishment It’s you who will be sacrificed ON FIRE Dressed in an armor of steel ON FIRE If I’m burned again and again I’ll rise up from the Gates of Hell The blue moon colors blaze Stabbing myself with the thunder The predetermined imitation An emotionless and fearless smile Flowing blood and crimson blade Devastated resolution Hear haze is waving far away Who’s going to be sacrificed？ ON FIRE Just like a falling flower ON FIRE Until this body rots away Burning down to the Gates of Hell ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

What can I say that has not been said a million times. They just get better and will be huge like Iron Maiden or Metallica! Thank you for reacting to this video.

[@Prog.and.Metal.Fan711]

I agree. 👍

[@CDMS_pt]

They are standing up not sitting. Epidemic rules they only can applaud them.

[@LC-in2ft]

I actually don't think it's a bad thing for singers to step away when solos are being played. Instead of disrespect, I see it as a sign of respect. The singer is letting the guitarists take the audience's attention. I've seen singers do it many times

[@DravenReactions]

So kinda what I was getting at with that comment. I agree with what you are saying in terms of letting the guitarist have the spot light etc, Disturbed, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, imo all do great jobs of still engaging during guitar solo's, and like I mention when Lovebites singer just steps backwards for a moment to get water and fix her dress is totally fine, I just more meant with dragonforce when the singer walked off stage and sat down, but either way.

[@gatograto]

About the audience, they were controlled by the regulation under China virus situation. But your observation is quite right. Japanese metal heads, I myself is Japanese, have tendency to enjoy shows as music concerts such as jazz, classic concerts.

[@Glynthepin]

If you look carefully at Haruna's shoes, you can see smoke coming out of them 😀 Everything about Haruna is awesome, especially when she smiles. Thank you for your reaction.

[@stevebaker236]

its overall aggression and fast percussive beats and with shredding guitar work to perfection that Setting the world to fire that will continue burning the music world.

[@excellentrecruiter5824]

The princesses of Metal! The show looks social distanced, a little too subdued for the awesomeness going on in front of them.

[@DravenReactions]

Few people have commented that due to covid restrictions they changed up the venue requirements a little so that makes sense. Again, I do little to no research before reacting so this is why I didn't know it was because of Covid issues. Super glad they found a solution and the band was still able to perform!

[@ahodori2233]

In Japan, the vaccination rate has finally reached 50% due to the delay in securing the vaccine. Moreover, the number of people infected with mutants is increasing rapidly. Strict regulation will continue until the inoculation rate exceeds 80% and herd immunity is formed. Many groups have stopped live activities since last year.

[@mikenekozukin1405]

日本がワクチン確保に後れを取ったというのは完全な間違いです。全国民接種分のワクチンは確保していましたが、接種は高齢者優先であったため接種率は 伸びなかったというのが現状です。変異株への感染は他国でも起こっていることであり日本だけではありません。 集団免疫を獲得して音楽活動が以前のように行えることを願っています。

[@lastinthequeue9586]

Hell yeah!!! When Lovebites play heavy they annilate everything in their path. Try Awakening/Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8

[@Equilibrium2903]

Dude, its a 2021 concert. They were lucky they were allowed to play at all. Even the "moshy" Japanese bands had audiences like this.

[@marting.h.9417]

Lovebites just melting your face. My next suggestions: “Shadowmaker”, “Raise some hell”, “Scream for me”, “Hammer of wrath”, “Break the wall” (all live if possible)

[@justingoodrum6767]

Since the day this CD dropped that pre solo riff really reminded me of a Trivium riff from either ember or ascendancy and it drives me nuts every time I hear it but I can't quite put my finger on what Trivium song lol

[@hiufernando7340]

When you said "Trivium" band. I remember Matt trivium has been cover one song from Lovebites on his channel. The song is called "epilogue" kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIHEk5Wkds6JoJY So I'm pretty sure, Matt trivium know about Lovebites

[@DravenReactions]

I forgot to mention that in this video, but a few people have mentioned that Triviums' Matt has done Lovebites covers and I will of course do reactions to those songs. I forgot to mention that someone commented on it! Thanks for the recommendation!

Great reaction, thank you. They are so talented, a perfect band. Midori and Miyako are new guitar heros. 👍

[@barefootbaron1748]

Yeah Covid restrictions suck.....but u could put Lovebites in a garden shed and they'd still be perfection.

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

what im gonna do if i were the vocalist of dragonforce on guitar solo parts?i'll take a nap for sure.

[@katafalkk]

Personally, I find it a bit frightening that you can be surprised by the distancing of the audience... it's as if you had forgotten that a pandemic is underway and requires strict rules for holding concerts... look at the example of Europe... the audience is not glued together.... It is true that I add my "grain of salt" but other commentators have already pointed it out to you....

[@cepho8349]

Yeah, this performance was just incredible once again. They can do no wrong. Someone brought up Unlucky Morpheus and I'm seconding that suggestion. Would bring some variety to your channel and they are just very good in their own right.

Draven, you can start react to Band-Maid...then the Maidiacs will start to rumble in😊🤘🤘. Try out "Dice" MV for a starter.

[@hiawatha.g]

You have mentioned that people keep making the same comments over and over. Can I suggest you mark comments when you read them, so we know you saw them? It might reduce the repetition. So, here is the comment I left on your first reaction to them. It contains a lot of links and history in one place. By now you know some of the info from various comments, so forgive any repetition. Congratulations on finding the best new metal band to come along in decades. In their five years of existence as a band, they set a standard that easily puts them on a par with the greatest bands of metal’s golden age. Their founder and bassist announced her departure on Aug 17, 2021, so we can only hope they find a way forward. Meanwhile, we console ourselves with their astonishing catalogue of work. Other reviewers have described them as alien superheroes disguised as young women, angels sent to save us, princesses of metal, and angry bridesmaids. Whatever the description, I think one can say they have given metal a badly needed makeover and maybe a new lease on life. They have themselves said that part of their mission is to save heavy metal from darkness and obscurity. Some background: They were formed in 2016 from the remnants of a legendary all-girl Japanese metal band called Destrose (yes, all-girl metal has been a thing in Japan since at least 1981). Miho (bass, chief headbanger and soul of the band) had a vision of a new band in the style of the greatest European bands of the golden age of metal. She recruited her former bandmate Haruna (drums, 4'9" “pocket nuclear reactor”); they needed two world-class guitarists, and so they went and found Midori and Miyako, who were with other bands. The whole group then found Asami, the singer, who was doing soul and blues at the time (she also trained in ballet). Miho and Miyako have composed most of their music, in collaboration with Mao, the lead composer of another band called Lightbringer, but Midori has also been getting into the act. Asami writes a lot of the lyrics. They studied all the great historical metal bands going back to Purple and Sabbath, through Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Slayer etc. and aced it all. They toured with Dragonforce in 2019, and word from those in attendance is that next time around, it will be the ladies headlining. They have incorporated some of the best of each of those bands into their arsenal, and at this point they’ve taken it to another level. This is one of their usual first songs for reactors, and rightly so--you get a good sense of the band. They do everything from soulful power ballads to heavy thrash, and almost every song includes face-melting solos by Miyako and Midori. The two guitarists are quite different in style and tone. Midori (blonde ponytail) is the extrovert and speed demon; Miyako is the introvert, with the more soulful feel. Midori uses a cleaner tone, Miyako uses more distortion, pinch harmonics and pedal effects. The contrast makes their duets rich and dynamic. As another reviewer said, "It seems criminal these two are allowed to be in the same band." Either one can smoke most of the shredders in the classic metal bands. Miyako is also a professional-level classical concert pianist, and was headed for a career in classical music, before picking up the guitar. If you want to see what she can do on the piano, watch “Swan Song” WITH the prelude, which is Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude”. Miyako wrote “Swan Song” using elements from several classical pieces including the Etude. This link should work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXPLpaSdnr14d5Y; but if it is taken down, you can watch two clips back to back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnWlm5yHfp6Wr8U and kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3bWdop_iMhrh5I I promise, it’s worth it. Other live songs to check out are "Edge of the World" and "We the United", back to back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ2TXohjrtB9ebc They form an incredible journey from darkness and despair to light and hope. Also, “Empty Daydream”, which starts as a ballad and becomes a real rocker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc. You already did “Break the Wall”, "Holy War", "Glory" and "Scream for Me", I believe. For a heart-stopping ballad, “Epilogue” kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6rRn4t6m6qhpLs (this includes a second song, your choice whether or not to react to both) Finally, while it’s generally true their live clips are best, their MV’s are epic and worth seeing: "When Destinies Align" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn2plp9_bpiJoa8 "Winds of Transylvania" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqSoZYiYlLWdnpo. You'll get lots of suggestions, just one thing: don't bother with Bloodstock footage, the sound quality is poor. Best to take suggestions with actual links. Also, you can’t go wrong with any of their official clips. Welcome to the Wolf-Pack!
