[@TheCyberMantis]

Wait until he sees Lovebites on stage in their goddess outfits. 😄

[@mmcpa]

It is always hard for me, as a metalhead, thinking there are people who don't see Lovebites in this way. He nailed the metal scene regarding vocals, just plain nailed it. Enjoyable reaction.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

I think those who feel that way can't get beyond the fact that they're females. Typical chauvinistic attitude of some metalheads who think women can't play and should just be groupies. The metalheads who think that way are most likely envious they can't play the way Lovebites does.

[@UltraHD.7]

I really like what he said about how much he enjoys good singers in (metal) bands. Because, to me it seems many people nowadays assume metal has to be with screaming and growling, so everyone and their mothers are doing it. But no, I absolutely prefer it like this, too.

[@user-lu7ly6tr6r]

Yes!、Asami is another level vocalist‼️．

[@raybl9295]

I was thinking the exact thought. The extreme vocal sort of tainted the term ' metal ' music that has turned a lot of music fans away before they hear any new ' metal ' music.

[@boyzyu]

Great reaction ! It looks like you played Frank the perfect Lovebites track because he hit the nail on the head with all his comments.

[@L.A55]

Perfect reaction to The Metal Queens !.. His evaluation was spot on !.. Thanks Joel !

[@Hadesillo]

I'm glad Frank enjoyed, Stand and Deliver is really refreshing.

[@theohof2204]

Mr. Meyer said a lot of intelligent things. Good reactor.

[@user-zr4xc3yt6q]

Thank you for doing this reaction to LOVEBITES again,

[@rodhamm8484]

It is good to know I am not alone on my views for metal singers. I agree with Frank's comments exactly.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I am not a fan of cookie monster vocals either. There are more of us than you think.

[@faintsmile88]

As always, Thank u for spreading the Lovebites message. 🐺

[@gatograto]

Great reaction. I agree that music should be fun and joyful.

LOVEBITES - Stand And Deliver (Shoot ‘em Down) lyrics: Bet the time you got in this game ! Bet the time you got in this game ! You ready ? You ready ? Let the night go deeper than now ! Let the night go deeper than now ! You see ? You see ? Scream until you break and rip out your heart Forget about everything that is just in your way Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down This is it, take all in your hand This is it, take all in your hand You ready ? You ready ? This, for me, is never enough This, for me, is never enough You see ? You see ? Feel the shade that lays deep down in your soul Already know the craziness hiding under that face Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down We will bring something new to this world Speeding it up and we won't end Bet the time you got in this game ! Bet the time you got in this game ! You ready ? You ready ? Let the night go deeper than now ! Let the night go deeper than now ! You see ? You see ? Scream until you break and rip out your heart Forget about everything that is just in your way Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down Stand and deliver 'cause nothing's satisfying Stand and deliver and shoot'em down ----- lyrics: asami music: asami & miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES & miyako from Judgement Day 02/22/2023

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I love that Frank could recognize that Asami is a really strong singer. I agree that too many vocalists in metal bands today only go for the growls and typically lack melody. Frank was spot on with that. Great reaction again Joel and thanks for promoting Lovebites.

[@user-lu7ly6tr6r]

Great choice!、 for the 1st time listening to LOVEBITES ． I’m glad that、although the music is focused on momentum、i think he found the greatness of the singer and the other members．

[@alexblane-layder3902]

wow he totally got it...nice

[@kyles5513]

Lovebites rules

[@tackle47]

His comments are right on. I like screams and growls when used appropriately. This idea sone metal fans that dis on clean vocals are full of shit. Great metal singers like Halford, Dickinson and Dio never used harsh vocals. They are all clearly on the Mount Rushmore of metal vocals.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Fami Fami Fami!

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

Was going to say wait until he sees them live, and sees/hears just how good they really are, but @TheCyberMantis said that already, Asami's vocals and stage presence will blow his mind, and then you've got a full set of virtuoso musicians playing together with her, WOW, I see a new recruit for the wolfpack! Great reaction 🤘🎤🥁🎹🎸🐺

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

For someone so unimpressed with the quality of music you sure seem to comment a lot on sites reacting to them. Have you got a secret obsession going on there? I think maybe you do because you're not really doing a good job trolling, but carry on practicing, if I get bored I might have a nibble on bait, depending on how I feel. ❤😂😂😅😅😮

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

@@ingopek5485 If what you're saying was in fact your true objective, then I apologise for jumping to conclusions, however, I think you should have went about it differently. Have I just bit the bait again? Only time will tell. I personally think lovebites are awesome, I've found them truly inspiring for my personal recovery from radiotherapy with the messages of hope and the good feeling that you get watching them perform.

[@allenhuling598]

Interesting choice for a 'first listen' to Lovebites but he seemed to get it anyway! I do hope that he chooses to pursue more of their catalogue on his own time!! Always appreciate you supporting these ladies!!🤘

[@not-so-great-oldone9780]

You’ve got to show him some Gacharic Spin!! And more Lovebites!!!

[@borisketou3177]

At last, someone worth listening to.

[@danwhite7265]

Dude knows his onions.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Great reaction by Frank. He was spot on with his comments and actually had something to say.

[@1970Phoenix]

I think that was a good song to show Frank, even though it is atypical of LOVEBITES. The problem with LOVEBITES is they have so many amazing songs, including several legitimate masterpieces, it's hard to choose the "right" song to show someone. I just hope some of your guests check out the bands they're introduced to on this channel, and becomes fans themselves.

[@maltnmetal4085]

He nailed it , Lovebites are at the top of their game and ooze confidence , their music speaks for it's self bringing NWOJHM to the world while having fun . long live the wolf pack .

[@marks5451]

I agree with what he said. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alekhidell]

As someone who grew up listening to metal bands before the Cookie Monster era, when I discovered LOVEBITES I hadn’t heard anything like the music I loved for 20 years. So I was shocked when some reactors thought it weird that Asami-san didn’t growl. Sorry, but that is not ever going to happen and I for one am very happy with that. When someone moves around as much as he did during the video you already know he’s going to give a positive reaction…but he gets LOVEBITES from this one video alone because it shows them as they actually are. I can imagine they aren’t far off being this goofy every time they get together.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Fami seems to have made them all young fun-loving teenagers again.

[@21wisefool78]

元々、LBは衣装からして闇の黒より光の白を選び、死や憎悪ではなく愛と救済を歌い上げています。Famiのような、いつも微笑みながら演奏するメタル·ベーシストがいても良いじゃないかw

[@alekhidell]

@@21wisefool78それはそうです、そして彼女の幸せは伝染性です

[@kielanuar213]

Yes, they enjoy and being 'loose' while practising. But still deliver a lot of masterpiece, epic and awesome musics and performances. Thanks for recommended to Frank👍🤘

[@pauli728]

about vocals I agree 100:%

[@pinoypower69]

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

[@wilsontang8995]

Great reaction by Frank and I love that he name checked #ArmoredSaint one of my all time favorite metal bands!

[@AFLOVEable]

Can't agree more to Franks assessment of Lovebites. Part of what endeared me to them, was the fact that they consciously broke with the image of Metal bands, looking as they were part of an S/M-convention. I also had quite a long phase away from Metal, because of the neglect of harmony and melody, especially in singing - too much howling and growling hurting my ears. Lovebites presents an optical and tonal aesthetics, without compromising the hardness of their music. That suits me just fine.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Glad he enjoyed so much, this is a really fun one! Such a cool video! 🤘🐺🤘Thanks Joel!

[@MegaHogzilla]

My current favorite band!

[@Kmudaify]

As your subscriber count grows, getting to all the requested reactions is impossible. But as a lover of quality music and astounding musicianship, let me provide a recommendation that is a bit different, if for nothing else than for you to check out for your personal consumption. Not metal. Not even rock, but rather a funk/jazz fusion. Another all Japanese female band called "The Jazz Avengers" performing a song called "Hunter". It consists of a couple of names you may be familiar with including one of the most well respected drummers on the planet, Senri Kawaguchi, and on bass Juna Serita (aka "The Princess of Funk). If you want to see Senri in more of a rock setting, check her out performing with Rie aka Suzaku in a song called "Breaking the Limit". Rie is a legend all her own. I call her the Japanese Female Jeff Beck. She surrounds herself with the best musicians Japan has to offer. Rie, in all her iterations, and all the musicians she surrounds herself with, opens a whole new rabbit hole of Japanese music you are not currently aware of. You'll find people such as Tamu (Nemophila drummer) in her backing band. It's a constantly rotating collective.

[@21wisefool78]

Such as TamuとはKanade Satoの事ですか?彼女も素晴らしいドラマーです。そしてSenriと昔からの友達です。

[@todayisagoodday4642]

nice

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Very very very good reaction. And the choice of video was spot on. Would be interesting to see his reaction to some heavy metal stuff like Holy War?

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Frank said he liked Slayer so maybe Break the Wall or Hammer of Wrath next.

[@fultonbenjamin9022]

Man, I hate to say it, but you did this man an injustice!:) His first time seeing, and hearing Lovebites, and it wasn't live, and they weren't in their outfits. That's literally half the Lovebites shock value! Are they really that good live, and are they really playing metal in heels? Maybe next time:)

[@user-rk6kx4sw6p]

🤘

[@user-hk9dt7qr3o]

Wolfpack here.

[@SaintsCheat]

I just hate how this guy shakes his “No” motion . I can’t even do that if I try to when listening to LoveBites 😂🤷‍♂️

[@VRsMagic]

🤘🏻🔥🐺🔥🤘🏻

[@pappapata]

🙏🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘❣

[@DavidKAnderson]

Smoky melodic voices...oh, man does he need to hear some Nemophila, particularly tracks that feature that aspect of Mayu's voice (Monsters, for example).

[@TheCyberMantis]

I would recommend LIFE.

[@DavidKAnderson]

@@TheCyberMantis Also a great choice. Y'know, it's the strangest coincidence, but I seem to get something in my eye every time I listen to that song... ;)

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@DavidKAnderson Me too. It's an emotional song.

[@L.A55]

​​@@TheCyberMantis with lyrics this time 😁.. kinda ease him into the world of Mayu 🔥 vocals..

[@bonered9210]

is mayu the one who came to lovebites' live with 3 people, went to lovebites' waiting room to say hello, took photo with 8 people, and went fishing with miyalko?

[@785uli]

Have him listen to Dissonance, it may remind him of another band 🤘🔥🤔

[@Greg-om2hb]

You didn’t tell him about the white dresses.

[@Greish-esquire]

😁

[@hardknox1917]

Their not really young , they are in their mid 30s , except the new bass player .

[@TheCyberMantis]

When I first discovered Lovebites, I seriously thought Haruna was 17 years old. And the rest of them were 20. 😆

[@eatsmylifeYT]

When you get to my age, you'll feel differently.

[@hardknox1917]

@eatsmylifethetvshow im 47 , I stand by what I said . These people think lovebites are early mid 20’s

[@L.A55]

They're all ageless Beauties !

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Only one member is mid 30s, the others are early 30s or 21. That's quite young. 40 is starting to get old for a musician.

[@Equilibrium2903]

I just dont understand your aversion to showing them live videos. They are orders of magnitudes better and more representative of the bands.
