GUITAR SOLO REACTIONS ~ LOVEBITES ~ Hammer of Wrath

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

My favorite section is that part when they go half time, right as Midori is starting her solo. Miyako is playing this sweet rhythm groove that's sounds so funky as Haruna comes in with the toms. I just love it!

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Same!

[@mrbilx]

Winds of Transylvania is a definite thrasher/symphonic metal fest as well as Soldier Stands Solidarity

[@lianshadowmaker7834]

Pop? Dude, i'm not even a huge metal fan but i definitely could say that this is 100% heavy metal.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

The One and Only Voice of Asami The Little Big Engine powered by Haruna The Crazy Shredder is the Amazon warrior Midori (blonde) The Golden Touch is Miyako (dark hair) The Ace on the Bass (my nickname for her) is the 21yr old prodigy Fami

[@GarageYears]

This concert was from earlier this year (March) and was Fami’s (the new bass player)s first ever concert with Lovebites, and her first large concert of any kind. She's 21 years old! Fami - the nuclear power cell of smiles, joy and energy! Notice Fami slaps the two bass solo sections (which the original bass player, Miho, played finger style) and the bass/drum section after the solos is a joy... Asami's look of support and delight, followed by a thumbs up to Fami. Not only did Lovebites make the perfect choice, Fami BELONGS in Lovebites. The energy is radiating from all members. Haruna's playing is incredible here and her drums sound amazing and of course M&M kill on guitar as you'd expect... but notice Miyako seems invigorated!!! She's moving around, head-banging even, more so than I ever remember seeing. "We're back!" Hell yes, you are! GO! Oh, and Asami sounds better than EVER! Nice reaction. There are heavier tracks and others with a more progressive feel. 🤘

[@eatsmylifeYT]

One thing I love about Fami is that she's not trying to play like Miho. She brought her own flavor to Lovebites.

[@metalmark1214]

Saw the premier. This is really making the rounds on KZbin. I hope it brings them more exposure. These are my metal Queens. Fami is killing it and fitting into the band very well. New CD and DVD due out August 23, 2023. Members Asami - Vocalist Midori - Blonde muscular lead guitarist Miyako - Dark haired lead guitarist Fami - Bassist (new) Haruna - Percussionist

[@shawnbrisbon9304]

They seem so tight on every instrument. Love the bass.

[@outandaboutwithpb9616]

It's easiest to just say Lovebites Metal, because no one else really has the fusion of styles you find with Lovebites.

[@thedocofrock1890]

for a real treat from LOVEBITES 'a frozen serenade' live from tokyo 2021 hits all of the buttons. you will see miyako go to the piano and midori do her best carlos montoya imitation with a killer spanish acoustic flamenco part in the middle. 10 out of 10 stars. and for perhaps their heaviest and fast guitar solos 'set the world on fire' live will do the trick

[@1970Phoenix]

Frozen Serenade is a masterpiece. The writing and the performance of that song illustrate the talent these women have.

[@thedocofrock1890]

@@1970Phoenix apparently on the cd version miyako played the acoustic section - it just blows me away how versatile these 2 guitarists are and then midori steps in and kills that part in the live

Thunder Vengeance was another Concert Intro that got me hooked from the 2020 Five of a Kind concert.

[@rainerzufall42]

Alas, "The Awakening/The Hammer Of Wrath" (this song here) was just the intro to the Encore, wasn't it?

[@davidtormaschy9988]

@@rainerzufall42 This video is the opening song for the March 2023 show and the Blu Ray: Knocking at Heavens Gate will be the first night of the of the 2-day show. This video is the first song and concert for the new Bass player Fami and they showed her off great. The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath was the intro to the Encore for the 2020 concert Five of of a Kind though. I can't wait to get the Knocking at Heaven's Gate and see the rest of the concert and see this band live, even if it is on video.

Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

You said this was your fourth reaction to Lovebites? - Unless you haven't posted something I can only find one other reaction on your channel - Stand and Deliver.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thunder Vengeance is next week and then Judgement Day the week after.

[@snakewhisperer1]

Yes, founding bassist, Miho, left in 2021. They recruited Fami after extensive auditions in 2022. What you'll get from Lovebites is classic metal along the the lines of that you mentioned: NWBHM, thrash/power metal. No grit or growling from Asami. She's a female Bruce Dickinson if I've heard one. If you want more extreme in all female Japanese metal, try Nemophila. Extreme vocal (a bit closer to Alissa), 7-string guitars, 5-string bass....you get the idea.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

One of Lovebites best songs for guitar solos is their song SHADOWMAKER which was on their very first full length album. There is a great live version from 2021 you can react to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3nGlqRqnL-ensU

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

I have that one on my list, thank you.

[@gatograto]

I recommend Shadowmaker too. Try it for phenomenal guitar solos.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thank you.

[@1970Phoenix]

LOVEBITES are elite musicians, and I'm so grateful that they are revitalising the NWOBHM sound, the European Power Metal sound, and the Bay Area Thrash sound. People who prefer the extreme metal sub-genres may not like old-school metal, but I expect most old metal heads like me still love the sound they grew up listening to.

[@rainerzufall42]

This is from March 11th, 2023, in Tokyo. Will be released on August 23rd ("Knockin' At Heaven's Gate") on 2CD, DVD, Blu-ray. Maybe, they'll drop more videos than this within the next 3 weeks...

[@evilvolts]

Miyako is the Piano player/Guitarist any lovebites songs featuring piano she plays like A frozen Serenade, Swan Song with Chopin Intro, ect...

[@arthurart99]

Next... Lovebites "Break the wall" live 🤘🏽🐺🤘🏽

[@philipturner9087]

This is their first tour with Fami their new base you now get 3 solos for the price of 2.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Fami is the bass player version of Band Maid's drummer Akane Hirose, always with a smile on her face.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome!! This is a video from their first show in 2 years with their brand new bassist Fami!! 🤘

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thanks for watching.

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

The other LOVEBITES video on your channel „Stand and deliver“ also is with the new bassist Fami, Miho left the band in august 2021. „Hammer of Wrath“ is from their first studio album „Awakening from Abyss“ and was released in 2017, but this live recording is from march 2023 and was the first song they ever played live with Fami. It is their comeback show after not playing live for two years. That’s why Asami starts with shouting „We are back“!

[@kielanuar213]

Lovebites always hype the crowd. As your request, all their songs were damn good. Sorry, hard to choose the best one coz different song have their own special element in it and its memorable. 😁👍 Lovebites forever!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@IAMisLove]

👍 We rocking. 🖖 ❤

[@evilvolts]

The bodybuilder is Midori this is the most recent live and Fami the new Bass player had her first live with the band this was in March of this year

[@dregeye]

Greetings & thanks for more LOVEBITES. Though it seems "pop" is not a popular descriptive term in Wolf-Pack circles, the word comes to mind with LOVEBITES more often than I speak, write or type it. Nevertheless, I think you and I use that word with different definitions. For me, a unique appeal is their masterful transitions, melody & prog shifts 'for an instant' ... one chord that takes one out of hard thrash, into an expressive & unexpected melodic twist, then back into the brutal groove almost before noticing. Maybe 3 different segments of different Metal styles, immaculately transitioned, into an uplifting soaring chorus, having come from the depths of hell moments ago. I recall from your "Stand & Deliver" reaction your comment using the term "pop" as something undesirable to you. Not knowing clearly how you define "pop" leaves me wondering if LOVEBITES' eclecticism might not be to your 'taste'. We shall see. They are so far beyond "one-trick pony" as to be undefinable in genre/style. If 'clean' melodic vocals embracing an honest & positive message are "pop" to you, under that definition LOVEBITES would be a "pop" band, for sure. Consider, LOVEBITES' songs tell a story. The music and band's presentation of it suit that story. Many stories, many expressions to convey the diversity of experiences life brings, with a 'lean' to self-empowerment, integrity, dignity & personal-responsibility. This 'message' is why I'm here typing this... Aren't I lucky that it is brought to me with phenomenal compositions, arrangements and performances by a group of sincere, open, accessible, beautiful & beautifully-creative virtuoso musicians in unsurpassed precision? (yeah, that was a question! sorta...) I will add, one-song-at-a-time will never "tell the story" of LOVEBITES LIVE. ''Trio of Miho'' is 3 songs written by founder, former leader & bassist Miho as consecutively performed in "Heavy Metal Never Dies" 2021 beginning after 80 minutes/12 songs. No breaks, "The Apocalypse > M.D.O. > Don't Bite The Dust" > Holy War/fade (15 minutes) subjects: surviving atomic-bombs > cautionary wisdom > self-empowerment & positivity! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWlfWOHbJlnrqM BE THERE!, non-stop for 15 minutes! 🐺

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thank you, I picked up on the dislike of the word of "pop". I have eliminated any mention of the word "pop" from the second patch of videos I did.

Thank you ! It's always interesting to read your comments.👍

[@mmcpa]

Pop? You heard pop? Honestly not sure what you were listening to. Their thrashiest live song is "Break the Wall" live from Tokyo 2020. Their heaviest song to date which has not been played yet live yet is "Dissonance" from the new album Judgement Day.

[@1970Phoenix]

I too found that comment confusing. I'm not really even sure what he meant, but "pop" is probably the last word I'd use to describe this song.

[@gatograto]

I don't feel any poppy vibe neither. This is absolutely metal to me. One of my favorites of Lovebites.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

if you like melodic solo, check out: Lovebites - Epologue it's great ballad song

[@gatograto]

Oh yes, Epilogue is a most beautiful ballad with phenomenal wailing solos of the guitar duo. Here's the link to it kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqke4x4qtp-fa8.

[@GrayFox14]

Is this your fourth reaction to LOVEBITES ? On your channel, I see only 2 reactions to LOVEBITES. 🤗 'The Hammer of Wrath' video was recorded on March 11, 2023, during a concert in Tokyo. The 'Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down')' Music Video you checked out last time was first shown on February 21, 2023, during the online presentation of the new 'Judgement Day' album (release February 22, 2023). The MV was recorded a little earlier. The time difference between the recordings of these 2 videos is small (several weeks). Fami plays bass on both songs (in LOVEBITES since October 2022). Her appearance hasn't changed in these few weeks....😊 I did not understand what you meant when you said it goes a little into the pop area? 😳100% metal song in my opinion. Or do you think that if a metal song has a beautiful melodic guitar solo and some backing vocals, then this is already a pop area ? 🤭 I suggest checking out LOVEBITES 'Thunder Vengeance' (2020). Interestingly, in this song you will also find a little pop area or not?🤔

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Thunder Vengeance is next week and then Judgement Day the week after.

[@GrayFox14]

@@GuitarSoloReactions Thank you ! I'll be interested to hear your opinion !

[@Metallic_Gaijin_Hu]

@@GuitarSoloReactions If you want some thrashier stuff, try "Break the Wall". A KILLER song.

[@erikhayes1]

A bit of unsolicited but well intentioned advice. This was my first time coming across your channel, and it seems like you may have reacted to Lovebites before. It's always a good idea to read up a little about the video you're about to react to. You should know all the band members names if you've reacted to them beforre. With this particualr video you should have known that they was their first show back after taking time off to find a new bass player. And yes, Midori is an insane guitarist, she and Miyako both are probably the best duo in metal today as far as I am concerned, but I'm a drummer so what do I know. LOL

[@Marco-nu6dg]

Try " Swan Song +Chopin Intro (Five of a Kind, live 21/02/2020) agreat song with nice piano work.

[@davidhersrud5139]

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺💪🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@martins767]

A remarkable moment for Lovebites and also for Lovebites fans! Asami screams "WE ARE BACK" at the opening of the song - maybe because it has been a while, they haven't played in a concert since Miho (former bassist and band founder) left the band (2021). By the way, M & M (Midori and Miyako, the 2 leading guitar players), they are both splendid, extraordinary, and also have different personalities and styles that complement each other very well. Above all, far from competing with each other, they highlight each others work. It's a wonderful partnership! You should listen do 'Shadowmaker' and 'Break the wall'. I think these two are nice and heavier songs. But they really don't have any song you would hate... Also, this is the very first live video with the new bass player - Fami! She is just 20 y.o.!!! Thanks for reacting!

Well, he did mention Arch Enemy, so maybe he thinks anything that doesn't have growling vocals is "pop". 😆

@@TheCyberMantis Probably, ARCH ENEMY wanted a little "pop" in metal. Therefore, as the opening act for their concerts in Shanghai and Beijing (in 2019), they invited LOVEBITES 😂

[@guitarzen5999]

Not really feeling a pop element in this song, Lovebites is melodic but there's a huge difference between the two. I will say that any female Japanese Rock/Metal band that you react to will have a pop element, no matter how heavy you think they are initially.

[@GuitarSoloReactions]

Wrong choice of the word "pop".
