FIRST TIME REACTION - BTS - LOUDER THAN BOMBS ( METAL VOCALIST )

[@imajinallthepurple]

I think they're too perfectionistic to perform something that they feel they couldn't do justice on stage, if that makes sense?! 🤔 I love Louder Than Bombs btw, it feels like a personal promise to us. 💜

[@marinal.]

true

[@ChronicReader]

That’s exactly what I was thinking, BTS would never perform a song live if they weren’t happy with the way it sounds. They put so much focus/effort on how well executed their performance is!

[@Kookiepookie2025]

They might do it in the future like the other songs we thought we will never get it live

[@jeanny4204]

is there any songs they haven't performed live other than LTB tho???

[@olyanda16]

Jimin's voice will take you to another planet.💜💜💜

[@andrea_gomez]

It was the most voted song by ARMY to be sung live... when the boys found out, they were shocked. I think they weren't very aware of the impact the song had on the fandom and maybe that's why they never included it in the shows... despite the musical complications involved in making it, I think it would have been unforgettable to hear it live

[@McLaren1993]

Of course this song is very difficult to perform live but let's not forget about the lyrics. This song is from Map of the Soul: 7 along with Black Swan, Interlude: Shadow and We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal. They wrote these songs when they were really tired from performing and they were facing burnout. They wanted to focus on their solo careers before they enlist in 2020 but Korean government let them perform two years more before the enlistment. When you listen to this song without stopping and when you feel the emotions they try to deliver to us, ARMY through this song, you feel overwhelmed with emotions, you want to cry. You can feel how empty, tired and burned out they feel. It's a cry for help. They gave us wonderful two years more but let's not forget what they said during Festa 2022, especially RM and Suga. They have suffered for a long time putting a mask for us. They produced catchy English songs to be well known outside the Korea but as Suga said, even though he has tools now to write good lyrics, he feels like he has nothing important to say. I think performing Louder Than Bombs live would be very difficult not only technically but also emotionally, it's such a dark song. We will probably never hear it live but it is a big gem and we will never forget it

[@lorettacastaneda2758]

Well said.

[@AbyssEnthusiast]

The way that Suga's verse in this song also reinforces this, gosh. They've been through so much.

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I agree. I always thought RM meant it would be too emotionally difficult but I can see it could also be technically difficult. Not only were they feeling their own secret pain some of them were absorbing ours. “The pain that spills over from the moment that I knew the expressions on your face weren’t what they seem.”

[@namastan5580]

I sometimes wonder if Hybe made them do the other English songs 💜

[@Kai-el7rw]

@@namastan5580yes, BH did!

[@alohahoney9437]

One of my favorite songs of BTS. RM says it’s a hard song to sing. Maybe that’s why they haven’t performed it live. But they did a quiz one time and they found out how much Armys love this song and they said they might sing it live one day. Who knows..we can definitely hope!

[@jeanny4204]

[@erika-g4mer_yoongi207]

Man... if they ever really want to do this song live, we'll have to appreciate it as much as we can because this song is really hard to do live. there are points in it that are very risky. Even though Namjoon says it might be impossible, he knows it's one of the most acclaimed songs ever to be performed live. It was going to be epic! They could do a rock version of this song on stage.

[@marinal.]

i was just thinking they could do a remix or something.

[@wongpauline22]

That’s right!! Great idea….remix or something…wonder if someone can cover this song 🤔

[@annaboivin9209]

Shout out to Troye Siven, Few mention his part in this amazing track. He is someone bts admire with RM and Jk doing a cover of "fools". I love this song.

[@aftarsun]

Yeah it had become a bit of a joke in the fandom that Louder Than Bombs is like one of the poor forgotten children because BTS never acknowledged it or performed it after the release of MOTS 7, but fans love it so much 😂 There's a really funny Run BTS episode where the members had to guess responses to an ARMY survey conducted beforehand and one of the questions was what song fans most wanted to see performed. They were all so surprised to see Louder Than Bombs there lol I think that's when it first came onto their radar. Thanks for giving your thoughts on the production and arrangement! Always love these sorts of song breakdowns.

[@tannie618tran7]

I’m the woman he answered to on that vlive, after the Vegas concert, I had always asked members when they came on live and he saw my question ..was the most amazing moment in my life but his answer broke my heart cause this song is my top 2 songs from them.. but I’m not loosing hope.. I prayed one of these days they will surprise us with a live performance after the military…we did get a little live performance of this song from Jungkookie on one of his vlive… made my day .. he was so adorable when he tried to sing this song

[@jerseybultaoreune6107]

Oh my gosh, that's so amazing!!! I love that for you!!! 🙏🤗🤸‍♀️✨️ I believe BTS will absolutely do this live when they come back. In fact, I think they would've done it in Busan except it didn't fit the vibe. 💜⁷

[@TheOfelia001]

I am sure they can sing this live… They probably have a deeper reason that they cannot share yet as to why it will be ‘difficult’ to sing this live (tug at heart)…..

[@blossom6693]

Actually they were shocked that people want this to be at concert , maybe bcz it was not hyped enough as much as black swan

[@adriennesmall5322]

So, I haven't read all the comments, so please forgive me if this is redundant: This song is one of those sacred spaces that BTS builds for army. BTS is expressing how hard it is to know that behind the happy, shouting crowd, we all have pain. ARMY has shared that pain with BTS through letters and posts, and RM struggled with what his place was, what possible help he could be to all of these people who look to BTS for comfort. They can't make it better, and they can't take it away, but they promise to sing for us.

[@ALadybug42]

I think it's the complex singing, layers and distortion that would make it challenging. ARMY loves this song but it's like BTS barely remembers it. There's a live that JK was doing where everyone was adding requests for him to sing and after reading "Louder Than Bombs" he was almost like, did we do that song?!? He had no idea of the lyrics and acted completely shocked when it played. LOL So funny. I love this song!

[@evantesseract737]

I'm sure it was a good bit of time in the studio, but then it was done and they stopped thinking about it 🤣

[@schafferable]

To sing softer on pitch it takes a sturdy diaphragm full of breath as it is harder to sing softly than just belting a song. So dance movements and proper breathing exercises to maintain the dynamics of this song would be really strenuous. They kill it in their openings and stay intense throughout the rest of a concert. They would have to be totally relaxed to deliver this song with all the passion it deserves in BTS's standard of excellence. We will see in the future. I would love to see and hear this in a concert. Toward the end of concerts, BTS has ARMY TIME, they are already spent physically and emotionally top it would be hard to perform. Every song has a place in the lineup. RM wrote the lyrics and did a lot of crying while writing. He said after reading the messages from ARMY and seeing all their hardships and hearing about their pain he wanted to let them know it will be okay eventually, don't quit living. That is what really makes this song powerful because not only has BTS suffered pain they empathize with the fans so delivering this message could be an emotional roller coaster for both - the placement of the song would need a lot of energy. Though the song sounds simple to those who do not understand the voice, body, and emotion to deliver it takes a lot of good breathing and pitch placement.

[@therainadmirer]

Our top two most requested songs to performed live are Louder than Bombs and Paradise. Thank you for finally get to this gem 💜

[@evantesseract737]

I appreciate your perspective and it makes all the sense in the world. I think staging this song would mean revising it to some extent - totally possible, but a challenge. So much of its magic is in the production and wouldn't translate. That said, I would love to see a stripped-down live studio performance, the way they've done for a few other songs, just them and some microphones and a small band. No backing track. I think it would be a really haunting performance - and that setup would help overcome some of those technical difficulties. I know a lot of folks are saying they're avoiding the emotional content, but I haven't seen them shy away from emotional songs. They performed Spring Day in Busan - and Butterfly - as they said goodbye to us for a few years. They cry onstage. And they have quite a few songs that are about heartbreak and grief. I think this one just slipped through the cracks - it was meaningful, they recorded it, but then they moved on. It wasn't written for the stage and they knew that. It really is gorgeous though.

This is such a sad song but with hope. Thinking about their original plan of finishing their chapter one after releasing this album and world tour in 2020....the song is a promise that will come back even stronger and better. By far the only promise they broke is due to COVID....so in 2025 their reunion, we can expect not just BTS but ARMY together will sing louder than any bomb.

I dunno if anyone's said this yet, but in a Vlive he did he said it was also a really emotional song and they weren't confident they could do it properly and control the emotions as well as make it sound good, like you said. I don't remember which it was, but it was when they were in the old building, it was around the time of the pande I think. This song and We are Bulletproof: The Eternal make me tear up every time. If they come up in shuffle while I'm in public I have to skip them. LOL

I think it's not about the singing or what you say voice techniques but I think it's about the the song itself..

I've watched lots of ur reaction vids over BTS before I wrote this. We're on the same boat 😂😂😂 I grew up in an underground music scene, played in several punk & hardcore bands, orginized some underground music gigs & sort, used to only listen to heavier music like punk rock, hardcore, metal, gothic rock, u name it. Now, I'm a mother of 3 & accidentally fell for BTS about 4 years ago. But I never regret that. Thankfully I have a very supportive husband who never look down on me for becoming an ARMY of BTS. He's also a musician & plays in some bands. We pretty much have the same taste of music as we live in the same scene since we were younger. But he really appreciates me for being part of BTS ARMY while some of my friends said that I was a "betrayer" 😂😂😂

RM nos dijo en un live que nunca iban a cantar Louder than boms en vivo porque era muy dificil, yo creo que se referia a que es dificil en el sentido emocional, ya que interpretativamente como dices han hecho canciones mas demandantes, asi quw creo que tiene que ver con algo emocional, quisa esta canción revela alguna temporada dificil u oscura para ellos.

My 7 yr old absolutely loves this song. I do also enjoy it, I think it's quite pretty. Personally I think Jimin's high vocals (my kiddos favorite) and Jin's might be unnatural or more forced? Idk. I watched a concert vid with my little and noticed Jimin tends to have a deeper voice live. It makes me wonder if Jin and Jimin has the "machine pressed" vocals, meaning the production, management etc kind of forces them to sing higher. 🤔 idk. I know nothing about what I'm talking about, but I do know specifically Jimin seems he's likely naturally a tone lower than what he sings in. I really love the chorus. It's easy to get stuck in my head for weeks, it's just beautiful.

I feel like it's for them and us. It's a fav. What a masterpiece! I agree with u. They can pull this off. It's just a lot of work and practice. hugs. ---NY USA Army 💜 Hauntingly beautiful about them finding purpose to keep going, Elina said on 8.11.21 'Louder Than Bombs' was co-written with artist Troye Sivan, apart from RM, SUGA, j-Hope and other professional contributors. This song appears to be symbolizing the loudness of bombs to two things: pain and success. In the first chorus, BTS say how they go through a significant suffering, described as breaking louder than bombs. It can depict result or noise of how BTS took pain, fear, hardships as if those are bombs that dropped in the position of their height while moving past them, AND it also denotes having much louder cheer of success and chants of support as they carry on stronger, they're determined to achieve better days and greater things to come their way.

I think from the video they did, they were surprised to hear Army wanted to hear this song. They were all shocked and said they would make sure to add it to their performances.

JK can pull off anything. The breathiest of them all, he can do it while running :D literally. Also he can back up others that may not be the most successful with it. Also, they mostly use live band LIVE so.... Yeah. I think they could pull it off but they're known perfectionists so it might be hard to be satisfied with their own performance.

[@jayiti2262]

I think they could swing doing it live if it's not in front of a live audience. No need to worry about bouncing noise, making sure the audio is audible over a crowd, etc. They could do it almost like they have done their festa lives.

I think they themselves didn't know the impact this song had on Armys. This is me speculating but I think by the time they realised how much Army wanted to see this live, they had the setlists for their upcoming concerts prepared so introducing this in it was probably difficult. Knowing BTS & how they tease armys with some of their releases I have a feeling that whenever they comeback as a group in or after 2025 to do a concert, they will probably do this song. Obviously it's a hard song to sing live but maybe who knows👀

This is ARMY's *NUMBER ONE* top request for them to do live (it even came up in a Run BTS poll), but BTS kinda cringes every time it comes up. One of them (Suga, maybe?) has mentioned that it's pitched *really* high, even for them, and it does have a lot of close harmony and unusual intervals that it might be tough to nail live. I also have to wonder what choreo for it might look like... on the one hand, the music is pretty sexy with that almost sub-audible bass and those thick layered harmonies, but the lyrics are haunting and resolute, which doesn't match that vibe at all (part of what makes the song so amazing, to me). Tho' honestly, they could do it straight-up concert style and we'd be deliriously happy.
