I Get Shown By Band-Maid & The Warning | Show Me - Reaction!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Was lucky enough to be at their joint concert in Tokyo where they live debuted this song Really hoping that they release an official live video of this from that concert too! Really? I'd say that 2/3 the reactors/comments seem to think it sounds more a The Warning song? I'd say that there's elements of both bands in it. Regardless it's awesome!

[@PrymalChaos]

That’s awesome! I think there is a lot of both band’s DNA in the song!

Dany's grito scream is pure mariachi magnificence. This isn't a collaboration; it is a supergroup.

I was lucky enough to be at the concert in Tokyo where these two incredible bands performed on the same stage. This song was even better live. They were celebrating each other's talent throughout the performance. The Warning played for nearly an hour, then Band Maid took the stage for roughly the same amount of time. While the Warning was playing, members of BM were off stage cheering them on, and the opposite was true when BM took the stage. Then, after BM finished, they brought TW out, and they were all interacting with each itger and the audience. Suddenly, we nitice the stage hands pushing Pau''s drump riser back on stage right next to Akane's! We knew we were in for a t treat. And a treat it was. You need to check out the video TW just published about their time with BM. It really demonstrates the love and resoect they have for each other. And that affection was on full display and had me in tears. by the end of Show Them. I've seen Band Maid three times now, and that show was my first seeing TW. But I'm fixing that. I'm seeing the Warning in... Pomona, California Los Angeles Guadalajara Cologne, Germany London All in the next few months. Yes, I'm a fan. Great reaction, and be sure to watch, or better yet, react to the video I mentioned above. Sorry for being so long winded. Lol

just wanted to add that peeps were on edge of seat all nite in anticipation of just the possibility of the collab it only grew when the crew started bringing up soundboards. Then a roar when we saw them bring out Pau's kit! what an amazing concert. An experience that we'll cherish forever! dbl ♥

[@WilliamHallisey]

This collab roars " GIRL POWER!" Collabs are often difficult to do well, but both bands and the production crew NAILED IT! Dany, of The Warning, hinted the they plan to do another collab together in the future. Band-Maid and The Warning may be the new "Power Couple" in rock.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Both bands have been around for over 10 years (almost 11 years). They have been following one another on social media for a while and were well aware of each other. The ladies in B-M are around ten years older than the sisters in TW. They met in the US at Aftershock. At that time they suggested doing something together. This is the result (and they have hinted that there is more collabs to come).

[@JuanSan66]

All the girls were fangirling to each other!. The song is more than just a collaboration, it's a fantastic moment shared between the eight girls. With a great deal of mutual respect and admiration. The Warning has posted a vlog of their trip to Japan on their YT channel that perfectly complements this video. Highly recommended. Good job!

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

You are so correct! I was at the show in Tokyo, and it was indeed a collaboration of joy.

[@jeffreykuska7877]

Yes, I watched that. It’s more than music. A lot of people don’t understand. Two groups of ladies that are living their dream! It’s wonderful to witness .

[@glenmartinez5158]

My favorite 2 bands today. Different approaches but the similarities. Sound, playing, songwriting, singing, lyrics, personalities, its all there. 8 beautiful badasses.

[@paulsmith7062]

The bands knew of each other and met at Aftershock in 22. They talked about doing something then and kept in touch. Band-Maid asked The Warning to come to Japan to do a show together and The Warning did a short tour. They got together during that time and did this. My understanding is Kanami wrote the song with both bands in mind. Here's when they met kzbin.info/www/bejne/poXXeWugpN-lh7M

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! Ale Ale Ale!

[@Jackgtd2]

It’s amazing to me just how much Miku’s guitar parts affect Band Maid’s style. Sure, she is “just” playing fairly simple chords, but with the usually heavy distortion and low end overdrive of her tone she ends up holding down the root of the chord in a manner usually occupied by the bass player. It allows Misa to range all over her bass without anything apparently missing from the song. Ale doesn’t have that option except in special places in songs so has developed a more traditional but still creative style. Both are absolute masters of their craft (as are all of these ladies) and are my two favorite rock bass players performing today.

[@stevehall5128]

Yep, Miku not knowing how to play at first (and limited time to learn with her five other jobs within the band) turned out to be a feature rather than a bug.

[@yeticatcher]

Nice reaction. Great collaboration song. Both bands are great. Btw, Ale does have a history with Jazz and funk training. Pablo Gonzales Sarre was hear mentor/teacher. He’s bassist for Los Claxons and there is a YT video of her at a young age as he instructs her.

[@tehawfulestface1337]

I was smiling ear to ear watching all eight of them in the same room, working on the song. Band-Maid working on their English and Spanish, The Warning working on their Japanese. The fun, respect and affection they have for each other very evident. The two bassists became very close. Misa’s outro bass on the song a tribute to Ale’s outro bass on TW’s song Survive. TW have invited B-M to perform with them in Mexico and to sing with them in Spanish.

[@chriso6719]

The 2 bands first met a couple years ago, at a festival I think. The Warning played 3 shows in Japan in June, 1 with Band Maid. They flew over a couple weeks early, got together with Band Maid, finished the song and shot the MV. Kanami composed , and made it challenging, writing it in a higher key than Saiki and Dany usually sing in. Lyrics credited to Miku and The Warning. Shorts were posted in the lead up to this release, highlighting the 'duels', Dany vs Kanami, Akane vs Pau, etc, and Miku got a solo short. They did play it live at that joint concert, with all 8 ladies on stage, but only a teaser clip has been officially released. DO NOT react to the full song fan cams, many of those that did got copyright strikes. Kanami and Dany did an interview on PRS Guitars Japan, mentioning that they should get together again in Mexico. Dany made the challenge to do a song in Spanish. In one of the interviews mentioning a possible future collab, Dany joked that it would be in a lower key. Suggestions for each band: "Automatic Sun' by The Warning, several versions available. Band Maid "Hate?" (Official live).

I don't think Dany's vocals are doubled. I think they are both singing in those parts where you hear double tracks. You can see it in some of the shots where they show Dany singing and then cut to both of them and you can see Band-Maid's singer's lips also moving. I could be wrong but that's what it seems like to me. Great reaction and thoughts on both bands! 🔥🤘⚡

[@michaelhill4353]

Hey man. Figured it was only a matter of time before you'd get around to reacting to Band-Maid's joint collaboration with The Warning in the form of Show Them. Apparently, this had been in the works for some time after Band-Maid first crossed paths with The Warning at Aftershock 2022, with the collab finally coming to fruition two years after that joint meeting backstage at the aforementioned Aftershock festival. Musically, while this is a joint collab between two fantastic groups of women, I get the sense that Band-Maid may have gone out of their way to accommodate The Warning's more pared back musical approach rather than saddle them with a considerably more intricate arrangement, which is often par for the course with Band-Maid though less so in the case of The Warning. The first thing, as you happened to pick up upon earlier, was the difference in vocal tones between Saiki and Dany, with Saiki's being more direct while still retaining enough bite vocally vs. Dany's more layered and raspier vocal attack. Similar goings on in the drums, bass, and guitar departments. First up being Akane and Pau, with Akane's more relaxed, subtler approach to the kit vs. Pau's rawer, more direct, hard-hitting style. A beautiful way of describing Akane's approach to the kit would be this brief quote from the late, great Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones, "Playing with great intensity, yet very quietly." Second being Ale and Misa's considerably different playing styles and sound, with Ale's leaner, more treble based style and sound vs. Misa's slightly busier, intricate, molasses thick style and sound. Last but not least, being Dany and Kanami. Dany's sparer, more direct, fewer notes played approach vs. Kanami's slightly busier, more notes played approach. At least in this song. For further viewing and background info as to the creation of Show Them, I highly recommend that you head over to The Warning's channel and check out the behind the scenes video, covering not only The Warning's reunion with Band-Maid in Japan, but many other choice moments either in the studio, onstage, or backstage. Fantastic reaction/breakdown/analysis of the song in question.✌️❤️🤘🇦🇺

Kanami wrote this song to expand the vocal range of both Saiki and Dany. Saiki and Dany didn't think they could do it, but Kanami knew that they could.

[@nichep1]

Ale learned funk and jazz early on. Excellent jazz bassist btw

[@rgbenge7580]

If you listen carefully you can hear Ale playing with Akane and Misa playing when Pau is drumming. Ale is playing very straight sixteenths with slides and Misa is throwing a syncopated rhythm that's pretty distinct. Everything about this is very intentional

The Warning meets Band-Maid at Aftershock Festival 2022 kzbin.info/www/bejne/poXXeWugpN-lh7M A lot of people were hoping this was going to happen since then, we started getting serious vibes that something was going to happen in the spring of this year. As for Ale and Funk style playing, yes she can, it was part of her lessons from Pablo. You can see some highlights of the things she was learning in this video The Warning - Ale y su maestro Pablo (bajista de Los Claxons) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5qXoHmsi7p9h7c Just as a heads up so that you are not too surprised when this happens again, on a PRS video with Dany and Kanami there were mentions of more songs (yes more than one) and maybe in Mexico next time.

W I N !!!!! 🎀 W I N !!!⚡I think we can just say, at their level, Band-Maid and The Warning are equal peers at the very top of the "Rock" pile. I’ve watched “Show Them” 50 times now and still haven’t been able to drop my eyes down to the lyrics.🤘😂 Thx, Chaos! Btw -- I was just thinking: Band-Maid and The Warning, two very different bands, found something that would bring them together -- music! If only the people of the world could find something that would bring them together. I know... if peace and prosperity isn't enough, how about uniting for the very survival of our species! 🤔

[@MajorHattery]

There's some behind the scenes/making of videos of them making this, when they're not all fangirling over each other you can see the huge amount of mutual respect they seem to all have. While I agree it sounds more like a Band-Maid song, I'd argue that the "Woah-oh"s in the chorus are a The Warning hallmark. I really liked the way you did your compare and contrast with Misa and Ale's bass styles, I'm gonna have to remember to use the "foundational bedrock bass player" description for Ale as it's perfect. All that being said, it's an absolute banger of a song by two of the best rock bands out there now. Also, if you're looking for suggestions on songs to react to, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the brand new Linkin Park song "The Emptiness Machine" with their new female lead singer.

You may think this song was written by Band Maid, or you might think it's a The Warning song. I definitely hear elements of several Band Maid songs in this song, and I hear a lot of rhythms and riffs out of the last two The Warning albums. The lyric page credit both bands as writers. What amazes me though is, how did they write and record this great song, in the short time they had together in Japan?

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

You made a good observation about their "solos" being simply continuing the phrase of the melody. There was no dueling going on. That's part of what made the live performance so special and emotional. Here is the link to the video I told you about in my previous comment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV6opn2PirqYa6csi=DeWqiMidy2bOEnrl

Come on, man! it's not April 1st! They've both been bands from about 2013 from what I've read, but Band-Maid are several years older. Some folks notice a similarity between the bass outro here and in the outro in The Warning's "Survive". IMO they're not wrong. Might be an homage to TW, Ale and "Survive".

[@lurkmerchant]

I agree with what you described about "flow in lyrics", western lyrics (especially English) are more fluid, because of the different, more rounded texture of the language. Japanese bands in general write lyrics to create certain texture. Band-Maid though, while they make the best use of percussive texture of Japanese language, they (Miku) also make sure that the lyrics have strong emotional impact. This song is so stripped back especially the drums. I think the main reason this song doesn't resonate with me is that the infectious groove created by Misa and especially Akane is missing.

[@adamclench6709]

FYI... Misa is known to be quite shy. It was said that it took a while for her to get comfortable and interact with Ale. She certainly let her guard down after a while because I saw a picture of Misa taken by Ale and Misa is hamming it up with her fingers in her "nose holes". Misa also mentioned on IG that she cried when they eventually had to part ways.

[@thomasalbrecht5914]

Nice kick-off 😁 and good analysis. Let’s see what the next stage of this collaboration will bring, I’m quite sure they were rather serious when they mentioned the intention for a re-match in Mexico. I would like to hear what Band-Maid sound like in a Pau song, and with a different sound engineering… their regular seems to use more compression than most Japanese motorcycle engines.

Hi mate, best breakdown of this song I've seen yet, nice work. I've followed both bands for several years, so this came as a dream collab. But always a possibility after seeing the video clip when they met at Aftershock in the US, the mutual respect was so evident. You made an interesting point about Japanese singers tackling English lyrics. Asami from Lovebites is similar in how she fits the words around the cadence of the music, sometimes to the detriment of pronunciation and meaning! I have no issue with this, her amazing voice is the bands fifth instrument. The critics should try singing in other than their native language to see how hard it is. Kudos to Saike in this song for matching it with Danny, and at a higher pitch than she is accustomed to. btw, I'm seeing Korean all female rock band Rolling Quartz on Sunday at their Sydney gig, looking forward to a great show. If you haven't seen them, check out their MV Blaze, or for a different take on their diversity, the studio version of Reminiscence, both on their official channel. Cheers.
