I am 40 old metalhead bassist and ADMIRE BABYMETAL! They are something else in a long time happened to heavy metal. I know it’s bit confusing at first. But they drag you to their Fox hole eventually! Love them 🔥🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘

[@ivannuari]

my dad , myself , and my son like it too. their music is good

[@keshanizm]

@@ivannuari that’s very cool! 🤘🤘🤘

[@mh78398]

Saw them once at a festival with friends who didn't know what to expect. One of the best shows I've been to

[@neomimzyneomimzy5095]

"BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse" is an absolutely epic and amazing performance - you should choose this when you get to "Headbanger". So great to see you keep entertaining us and yourself in 2022! 💚💜💚

[@paulcarlton598]

Do "Road of Resistance" and "Rondo of Nightmare". Those are seriously jaw dropping awesome, like ridiculously good: some of the best live performance of metal you'll ever fucking see.

[@jacksolis]

i would recommend "Road of Resistance Live in Japan Official" in particular. don't get me wrong, any performance is great, but that one is exceptional.

[@paulcarlton598]

@@jacksolis agreed. That one is the one I had in mind. But yes they are exceptionally talented so their live shows are an experience. I’m new to them, I watched gimme chocolate for the first time like 3, 4 days ago and I’m still jaw dropped from the fox hole I delved into. Cheers!

[@silly_programme5061]

@@jacksolis It should be noted that the official video (like most of the video from their official channel) is liable to get blocked. This can be worked around easily enough by obscuring it in post with a translucent logo or a blur or the like, but I think it bears mentioning so it doesn't come out of nowhere. The best youtube-safe performance of Rondo of Nightmare is from their Black Night show at the Budokan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6woJaGbp6EobM

[@BobSlasher]

Just to make sure, that they are indeed a serious band and loved from millions of metalheads around the world. The Song "Road of resistance" for example was co written by Herman Li of Dragonforce (who is a friend of the band) They also collaborated with Bring Me The Horizon with their song "Kingslayer" and they're also befriended with Oli Sykes who is a big fan of their music. You would love their other stuff, doesnt matter if its the new or the old stuff. They're so versatile and a blast live. Their shows are huge and well thought out. I recommend going down that rabbit hole! You won't regret this :D

[@camerontranbarger6420]

Don't forget Polyphia cowrote a song too and the lead singer of Sabaton too

Just a little correction: Li and Totman didn't actually wrote the guitar parts: BabyMetal team did, and then Li and Totman arranged the guitar to make them sound more like Dragonforce :)

[@kitsunefromfinland4145]

BABYMETAL🦊🤘🍺

[@NaerenVastir]

i got a suggestion, This is probly one of the more "light" babymetal songs you could find. road to resistance is one of their most epic bangers, but also megistune is a pretty wild departure. Rondo of Nightmare is pretty baller too. but yea this one is one of the more "pop" style ones. As far as the "manufactured" or "its just a product" ideas that float around with j-pop. yes this is true to an extent, however with Babymetal, this really is a passion project by the produces, and the girls are genuinely here because they love it. their studio is known for treating their idols better than most others, to the extent they can in the industry that is. but this isn't just some cash cow, if that was the goal they would have just done regular j-pop the kind you see all over the place.

[@SAKURA-Times]

Nice reaction lol please continue their reaction. I looking forward to it.

[@MacTaipan]

Ah, I wish I could reset my memory and discover BABYMETAL freshly again. It‘s so good! The video footage of this video is from the „Legend 1997“ show in 2013, one day after Su‘s (the main singer) 16th birthday. The other two are 1.5 years younger. But the audio was actually the studio track. It gets even better when you see a real live show. Confusion is the usual first stage of a BABYMETAL infection. I would assume that by now the song is already running wild in your brain and triggering the anticipation receptors? The second song (which I recommend to be „Headbanger“) will make you go „hm, this is actually really good and excitingly fresh“, and the third will push you over the edge. That positive and happy feeling you get from their music will not fade. I have been a fan for 4.5 years now, and I still smile like an idiot every time I listen to their music, and even more so when I watch a live performance. It‘s the epitome of entertainment to me.

[@rickwagner-]

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🍫 💝 The BABYMETAL members are very aware that "WTF?" is a common first reaction. That's one reason their early videos went viral. They look at this as a way of getting a foot in the door. BABYMETAL is a concept that seems like it shouldn't work, and if they didn't execute at the highest level, it probably wouldn't. I first saw this one shortly after it was posted in 2014. And I was a fan by the end of the first chorus. : ) 'Gimme Chocolate!!' is their most popular music video (over 150 million views). It's also the only song they've performed on US television (The Colbert Show). They have been joined on stage for this song by members of Korn, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and DragonForce. Not all at the same time though. : ) That was the world debut for this song, although the music video uses the studio audio, rather than the live concert sound. The live audio from the DVD/blu-ray of this 'Legend 1997' concert sounded great. The lead singer, Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or Su) had just turned sixteen the day before this show. Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were both fourteen. Looks like folks have already recommended some great follow ups. I hope you keep going. Every song is different, and they're all great.

[@gameplayseries3606]

The first reactions are usually like this, if you are very used to metal in English hahahahaha

[@Singulitarian]

Most original group on the world stage today.

[@road-runner]

Good reaction, thanks! "Gimme Chocolate" is "just" a fun song about the girls wanting to eat chocolate but being worried about their weight... but it's also very metal. And that's the point, they are the fusion of kawaii and metal but they take the concept further. All their songs are very different from each other. And this one has clearly a huge and intended WTF factor. So, you will need to check out some of their more "serious" songs and also their backing band and even more of their lead singer skills. And I believe that this one is the appropriate: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCQkJaYm8mlj6c Until next time!

[@ayehh.ouyeahh_]

up this man plss 😂🤘🦊

[@armitage9]

Goodnight. The reaction is the most normal when one faces BabyMetal for the first time with "gimme chocalate". Babymetal, at that time was a subband of a group of idols called "Sakura Gakuin" that represented the Japanese elementary school (between 10 and 15 years old. She is this concert they were just 16 years old the singer and 14 the choristers) dividing in clubs. They, within this idol band represented the Heavy Metal Club. To understand this group you have to understand this, since their first album is, above all, the work of a children's heavy metal group, with songs aimed at an audience between 10 and 15 years old, mainly girls. But they are so good that the quality of their music transcended this barrier, reaching both their target audience and an older metal audience. There are many songs from that time that can justify this: megitsune Akatsuki Road of resistance (live in japan) no rain no rainbow Headbangers Ijime, Dame, Zetai And the controversial Babymetal Death, which I recommend seeing as the 4th or 5th option. These songs are all from this first album that they released in 2013, if I remember correctly, when I was 15 and 13 years old.

You guys have No Idea how far down this Fox Hole goes!!! When they first started to take off, people like Rob Zombie defended them to his own Fan Base and Dragon Force gave up some of their stage time at the 2015 Download Festival to bring on Babymetal to sing one of Babymetal's song that Herman Li and Sam Totman had written guitar pars for because the promoters said they would NEVER book Babymetal..(they were booked in 2016). Rob Halford of Judas Priest sang 'Pain Killer' and 'Break'n the Law' with Babymetal at the 2016 APMA show and during the post show interview he called them Little Monters Ladies of Metal and that Babymetal was the Future of Heavy Metal. 2016 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award - Nominated Best International Band 2016 Kerrang! Awards - Best Live Band 2016 AIM Independent Music Awards - Best Live Act 2017 Loudwire 6th Annual Music Awards - "Best Metal Album" - "Metal Resistance" 2017 Loudwire 6th Annual Music Awards - "Best Metal Song of 2016" - "Karate" 2017 Loudwire 6th Annual Music Awards - "Most Devoted Fans 2016" 2017 Loudwire 7th Annual Music Awards - "Most Devoted Fans 2017" And so Many More!!! They have sold out several arenas around the world including Tokyo Dome (55k 2 night running), Wembley Arena UK, The Form in L.A. USA, and Stadium Live in Moscow, Russia!! They have toured with the big names...Metallica, Korn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lady Gaga, and have played or colaborated with Skrilix, Rob Halford, F. Hero, Bring Me the Horizion, Dragaon Force, Joakim Brodén, and others. Big group guys!! This is a Pro Act! More Babymetal Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@-kamine968]

Please watch "BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997" which was last performed at the same concert! I'm sure you guys will be very confused! I would like to advise you, "Not a cult! This is Babymetal!"

[@jeffschreifels8651]

When Gimme Chocolate is the first song you hear, confusion is a very common reaction. Once you're a few songs in you will start to understand why Babymetal is so popular. This is NOT some Spice Girls garbage. Well, you'll have to see it for yourself before you'll believe it. 😆 I will recommend Rondo of Nightmare (mischief of God's introduction) or maybe 'Headbanger' legend 1997 which is from the same concert as the Gimme Chocolate video you just watched. For something newer check out Kagerou. Any suggestions will be fine because they don't really have a bad song.

[@bradcpuvids]

Kagerou would be quite a shock after this! In the good way.

[@jeffschreifels8651]

@@bradcpuvids haha yeah. I was intentionally going for polar opposites. Not to run away from the fun songs but to provide that range like a negative control and a positive control in an experiment. 😅

@@jeffschreifels8651 I honestly think Kagerou may be their best song overall. Plus, I'm not sure if they know that most of these things people are suggesting could get blocked. A Kagerou compilation like this would not: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpiWgqaGfpirZ68

DO IT DO IT! There are so many different styles of metal in Babymetal's stuff - it would be amazing to see his reaction to some of the heavier stuff, especially given GC is just a fun little tune made for the internet.

[@autohmae]

And here we are the Babymetal reaction. 🙂 Careful with saying Wembley Stadium, Babymetal performed at Wembley Arena one time as promotion of the second album, which is a venue of 12 500 people, Wembley Stadium, across the street, is 80 000 people. That's a different beast all entirely. You might think Babymetal is a very commercial project, but it got started because metal music wasn't commercial. It's a passion project from 1 producer guy who noticed a very talented young singer, Suzuka at age 10, he really wanted to work with. The music genre he's most passionate about is metal, he used to work with bands, but demand for bands was in decline and he was asked to work with kids. And this is the result of that situation. I've been in a Babymetal pit, it's a wonderful place. So many happy faces. Lots of metal music is range and anger, Babymetal is a happy/positive metal music.

[@НикитаСаныч-ч1р]

More Babymetal

[@Grington300]

Good reaction, but you clearly picked 'Gimme Chocolate' for the WTF reaction ... which is fair enough, that can be good fun. They have about 50 songs now and every one of them is different, so Ron's first impression would have been quite different with each of those other songs. Personally I would never start someone with this one (maybe with a real live version - this has the studio audio and that just isn't as good where BABYMETAL are concerned, they are a live performance act). They were put together, but not like or for the same reasons as American Idol. In their case the producer was a metalhead and he was so impressed with the lead singer when he saw her in her previous J-Pop trio that he had the idea of her fronting a metal/J-Pop fusion band. The agency thought he was mad - there was no known audience, no commercial viability, metal in Japan at that time was on a steep downward spiral and they thought it would be a very short lived and failed experiment. They only allowed him his pet project under the umbrella of a bigger J-Pop group because it would cost them nothing if it did fail - they provided no extra budget for it at all. Against every expectation BABYMETAL started to gain a small following, so they put on a couple of their own shows outside of their parent group's shows, playing small venues with 150 capacity, the food hall at a festival and so on and all the time their following grew. So it was decided when the lead singer was 15 and would graduate from the parent group (it had a school theme and was for girls aged 10 to 15) BABYMETAL should also separate to go with her and to be her vehicle as she developed her career as a vocalist and performer. The two younger girls also elected to carry on in BABYMETAL even though they were still heavily involved with the parent group and would be very busy with both that group and touring with BABYMETAL (and with studying at their own schools of course) for the next two years until they also graduated having reached 15. In anticipation of the separation a live band was phased in to support BABYMETAL in live shows. They were not in this video - the guys in skeleton suits were actors or dancers miming the instruments to a back track and they were just there for show. The live band (some of the very best session musicians to be found in Japan, each one a world class musician) first appeared in October 2012 and played at a coupe of festivals and the encores in some shows ... this was the last show where they only played the encores. In early 2014 the live band became their full time support for all live shows. They are the Kami Band (kami means god or spirit, so they are the gods of guitar, bass and drums summoned from the dead to support BABYMETAL ... as such they wore traditional white burial robes and corpse face paint). Since the introduction of the Kami Band of the West in 2019 (American musicians) the robes are black and masks have replaced the face paint. Since their formation in 2010 (the girls were aged 12 and 11) and their first tour outside of Asia in 2014 BABYMETAL have gone on to become one of the very best live acts on the planet - they have won nearly all of the well over 30 awards they have been nominated for, not just the one you mentioned. For another reaction try 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' (you can call it IDZ if you have to, it means Bullying No More, Fore Ever) live at Sonisphere2014 in the UK, their first major event outside of Asia in front of maybe 60k UK metalheads who had never heard of them before they started their set. This is the last of the 5 songs they played that day ...

[@cuttysark8017]

This is often the "gateway drug" to Babymetal and you have the classic reaction of a smile and "WTF" as your synapses try to reform and adjust to this new reality. Right now you are probably thinking "that was fun, but super weird and it's just a gimmick". Well I strongly encourage you to listen to: "Road of Resistance Live in Japan" "Rondo of Nightmare Budokan Black Night" "Headbanger Legend 1997" "Tales of the Destinies" I think these will convince you that Babymetal is way more than a gimmick. Gimme Chocolate is the MV that broke Babymetal into the KZbin universe and beyond. It's generally not voted one of the favorites with BM fans because it is actually quite gimmicky, doesn't have the Kami Band backing, and Su doesn't get to show off her singing much. The song's lyrics aren't very deep either, just about a girl who likes chocolate and is worried that she might put on some weight.

[@LouieGrandie]

Hey are some fun facts about this song Named one of the most important metal songs of the last 10 years The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed this song with them Dragon Force performed this song with them Metallica likes to sing and dance to this song back stage with the girls Brian Welch from Korn performed this song with them

Well good WTF moment but i think you going to be supprised the more you watch . BabyMetal did not just win one award with Metal Hammer they have over 30 international awards . Couple of which where best live band 2 years in a row Su won Metal Goddess 2 years in a row . It was Wembley Arena not Stadium they performed at in 2016 and they Performed at a Sold out LA Forum in 2019 . In my opinion they are one of the best live bands around and to be around for over 10 years now you need to have something special about you . and there still only 24 and 22 years old . They where still in early teens at this show and had World tours and opened for Metallica, RHCP and Korn also performed on stage with Rob Halford while still in there teens .

There are even more good ones but too many to mention.Not all their songs contain pop elements. In fact some are just about as heavy musical wise as many other metal bands out there.

And absolutely hell to the yes on more BABYMETAL on this channel! Just a quick warning that reacting to certain videos will get you blocks. I've suggested a couple links to videos that are safe to react to in another post. You should definitely react to suggested videos from the official channel but keep in mind many will likely get blocked. Luckily a simple solution is to put a semi-transparent image over the embedded video after you record your reaction. The trick is to adjust the opacity/transparency the right amount to see the video underneath but also enough to get you past the block. Making the opacity 50-60% should be enough, but if not then bump it up higher. Many use the BABYMETAL logo but you can use whatever image you want. Examples of videos you'll *probably* need to do this for is: - BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!! (OFFICIAL) [ yes, the one you just did ] - BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL) - BABYMETAL - KARATE (OFFICIAL) - BABYMETAL - メギツネ - MEGITSUNE (OFFICIAL)

Really appreciate it! All of the songs you listed I have heard, so I will be upfront to all. I have enjoyed their songs but it’s not for everyone and some do not have an open mind. I wasn’t aware of this JPop Genre at the time when I first heard Baby Metal. But it’s huge. ✌️🤘

[@sleepingfordays]

@@ThunderRooster Oh yes, really appreciate you being upfront about the songs you do know about! Also please let us know if you've seen these particular live performances for these songs or only heard the album versions. Many fans feel there's a huge difference and much prefer the live stuff, though many also feel the Karate and Megitsune music videos are worth checking out as a first-time reaction. Have you seen the Budokan 2014 or Legend 1997 concerts? I have a separate post giving links to a song from each of those concerts. Maybe we can try to tailor our suggestions depending on what you want to hear or maybe haven't seen so you can both experience something new. Agree that BABYMETAL is not for everyone but I also feel many don't realize they like them until much later when they finally let their guard down and usually regret writing them off too early. So glad you kept an open mind and seems that Ronn is game to try more...at least one more song anyway, lol. 🤣

U'r expression, that was my expression 10 years ago, when I knew this band🤪🤪🤪

[@fami01]

Coming to the concert makes me love this band even more, they are legends

[@geo_war_tube7868]

but it's not a real bend,because the gods have not yet descended on the stage (kami band). after such reactions they fall into the fox hole and from there is no turning back.)))))

[@bury0777]

He reacted really well to the "wtf" fun factor, so I'd continue on this path and go "Catch Me If You Can", before venturing into more serious songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5jRqoBsbrGBa5Y This compilation is really amazing and the audio from Wembley it uses has the best Kami Band solos, his jaw will drop to the floor.

[@KelbenArunsun]

Road of Resistance - Live in Japan will melt Rons face off ^^

[@ThunderRooster]

That’s one of my Favs lol. I will try to persuade Mr Ron! Thank you again! ✌️

[@sleepingfordays]

@@ThunderRooster Excellent choice, great for reactions! Remember, high likelihood this may get blocked but a simple watermark (semi-transparent image) over the embedded video is all it takes to get it past the video block. If you're not blocked on upload, it might be blocked some time afterwards, in which case you can try to dispute the block (some channels have luck with this) or you can just re-upload with the watermark (and mention in the title it's a re-upload due to block) and we'll watch it again! Sorry if I'm talking too much, just trying to help things go smoothly.

[@BlackArr0w]

@@ThunderRooster Just be aware that that performance gets blocked a lot, so you might want to put a transparent logo on top or play a bit with the video opacity!

[@KelbenArunsun]

@@ThunderRooster You entertain us ^^ were happy as long as you guys keep it coming ;)
