I LOVE BAND-MAID (3 Reactions!)

[@KenjaTimu]

There was a very old cartoon 'Josie and the Pussycats' about an all girl rock band. Band-Maid is that come to life.

[@phongyakonyak1226]

Do check bts home music video one of my favourite

[@henry6782]

PLEASE DO THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES... if you can DOMINATION OFFICIAL LIVE is the one to start with

[@wilmac1]

Welcome to Band-Maid. Enjoy the ride!

[@POWER-LINKS]

If you like BAND-MAID, there's a recently formed Japanese Supergroup that you're gonna love. NEMOPHILA = Five well established elite Japanese female Hard Rock musicians: World-class drum/bass duo ● Twin lead shredders ● Rowdy front person ● OG Hard/Heavy ● Primo covers "Raitei" {Original MV} kzbin.info/www/bejne/opmQlYmCgLVmZ5Y "Whole Lotta Rosie" {AC/DC cover} kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2mQhpyEms5slbc

[@WavePotter]

Thanks for pointing out that Dice Intro sounding like Black Veil Brides! Very interesting. Now I need to check them out too! Fun reaction. Great song choices!

[@saikisfang9339]

I think I might check into BVB. I never paid any attention to them at the time.🤔

[@estherbrowne2017]

Me tooo... Dang.... Wanna check them out toooooo

[@estherbrowne2017]

Well his reaction somehow... Resemble Champ's first reaction..lol... The band of Champ's dream😂😂😂 anyway i just laugh just remembered the same reaction from both😂😂

[@RahimRahmat]

Heh heh heh... I was about to make a request for you to check out Black Veil Brides.... was pondering over it... and then wondered if you have seen this video... Guess I have my answer right here 😁

[@tinyhato]

In one of their early reactions, Eric from Dicodec also compared them to BVB. Got some deja vu when I heard them mentioned again.

[@brunorca]

BAND-MAID... Hands down my favorite rock band in a really long time. Sounds silly at first some girls dressed in maid outfits playing music, but holy shit... these girls are so freaking awesome. Oh, and I'm pretty sure BAND-MAID don't copyright claim/strike reaction videos, they even watch it actually.

[@AnthonyRay]

It is safe to say I have found true love in my life and am now taken. Sorry ladies... and men.

[@ilknur327]

[@tonygriffin_]

You have become a Maidiac! Welcome to the club!

[@germanslice]

Ok Anthony who took you?

[@RetiredInThailand]

Don't speak so fast ... you haven't even heard Band-Maid Acoustic Band-Maiko, or Cluppo

[@Ac3sHigh]

There's two kind of people in this world: Maidiacs and the one's who never came across to their music.... There's no middle ground. Period.

[@rossmudie9298]

I cant bare to call myself a maidiac, i find it really childish, sorry i'm 51 ffs, but they are my favourite band, so yeah there is middle ground.

[@chuckcharles3113]

@@rossmudie9298 EXACTLY ! LOVE THESE 5 PHENOMENALLY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL MUSICIANS FROM JAPAN. PROBABLY MY FAVORITE ROCK AND HARD ROCK BAND IN THE LAST 30 40 YEARS. BUT IT'S STARTING TO GET RIDICULOUS AND ALMOST CULT-LIKE. WITH SOME OF THESE SO-CALLED MAIDIACTS ! YOU NOTICE IT'S MOSTLY 40 AND 50 YEAR OLDS AND OLDER ? I CALL THEM MOSTLY MIDDLE-AGED CREEPERS ! P.S. ISN'T IT GREAT TO HAVE FELLOW FANS DICTATE TO YOU. WHAT QUALIFIES AND QUANTIFIES YOU TO BE A FAN OF THEIRS ?

[@ozien2]

As good as the MV's are, you really want to react to live stuff. "Domination" live and "Manners/Black Hole" live (one video with two songs) would be a good start. "Onset" live is an instrumental (also known as Saiki's pee break) you must see as well. There is a live version of "Thrill" they did in 2021, to compare with the original (was in 2013). "Freedom" live if you want more Akane on the drums. Or just pick any three at random. Even their less popular songs are better than hit songs from other bands.

[@michaelbailey1403]

I find their music videos also as good as their live performances. They rarely disappoint.

[@williamcoyle7500]

I have to agree these girls do make good music videos but they are in their element live

[@drogonr9318]

@Roger Chance I'd have to agree with Roger here about the Manners MV being a better first-time listen. I also think the best place to start with Live Band-Maid is the 2017 Studio Coast or 2018 Zepp concerts, both of which have a better instumental mix than the live stuff that came afterwards (I'd esp recommend the Studio Coast performances of Puzzle, Moratorium and Awkard - all of them far outshine their studio versions). The exception however is Saiki's live vocals which imo took a large leap forward since then (she had vocal surgery in 2017-ish iirc); so if you're more interested in the vocals I'd start with the 2020 Shibuya concert (strong, beautiful vocals over a disappointing instrumental mix).

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

@@drogonr9318 mid 2017

[@Anton_Pupsik]

placed my like here , but only for Domination and whole "Domination world tour" concert are super awesome .

[@tonygriffin_]

You, Sir, are a natural born Maidiac! You were clearly impressed when you watched the 'Blooming' MV and I wondered if you'd react to more of Band-Maid soon...and, damn, you did not disappoint! A triple reaction to THE best Rock band in our galaxy (and in Andromeda too when the signal gets there in 2.5 million years)! You clearly recognise the depth of meaning that Miku 'The Little Pigeon'' (the unfeasibly beautiful rhythm guitarist and founder of the band) puts into every song's lyrics as well as Obi-Wan Kanami's (lead guitar) superior song composition skill. And you also clearly love and appreciate the musicianship that MISA 'The Barefoot Assassin' displays with her bass guitar and the driving force that is Akane 'The Gorilla' on her drums, as well as the extremely high quality and versatility of Saiki's ('The Ice Queen) vocals. Your smiles and looks of wonder, awe and love are clear too (all we Maidiacs share those characteristics) - but I fear for your heart as it is going to beat very, very fast when you watch their live performances! Their MV's are all excellent but they are something else live! I'd recommend starting with PLAY ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3biZKqaduabbc ) and, from the same gig (and which segues from PLAY) is the incredible performance of their song 'DOMINATION' ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k ) and for the third, which includes an apic drum solo, FREEDOM ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIqqlIJ4bbiSd68 ). The band and record company seem fine with people reacting to anything from their YT channel and a link to the original video so looking forward to seeing your heart and brain explode with joy! PS I liked the Men Of Culture piece so will end with a quote from Alexander Pope, way back in the 18th century, who said "Whoever thinks a perfect piece to see, thinks what was never was, nor is, nor ever shall be". It took 300 years and Band-Maid to prove his maxim as incorrect.

Alright, let's go with the live version of the three parts for the next reaction! "Domination" "Freedom" "Onset" 🤘That's a happy set.

[@kyles5513]

Or Play, Domination, Onset.

[@skysaber23]

YES!!! more bandmaid!!! before I fell into kpop world, I was rock fan. but then kpop was introduced to me and I've been listening to kpop since then, but suddenly I heard bandmaid and my rock spirit came back!! 🤟🤟🤟

[@whohooman6360]

Listening to both genre is not a bad thing

[@estherbrowne2017]

Same here😂 love jpop n Jrock before kpop steal my interest.. then Band-Maid steals back my Japanese music interest... More and more band either rock or metal scene i ..i...i... Just can't miss... Dmmmm...

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Welcome back home, Melantak! 🤘😝🤘

[@jennyarriola324]

Whoah! Same here. I was a metalhead but drifted towards Kpop since 2011. But after accidentally bumping onto Band-Maid last month, I felt my love for rock music brought back to life again. I'm still a die-hard Sone, though 😁

[@garymerrill4244]

Band-Maid are a dream come true for many of us who have for too long been mired in hip-hop hell. One trademark of Band-Maid is to change the instrumentals for the second verse. That's something for you to listen for in future reactions. They are touring the US next month, and if you are anywhere near East Rutherford, NJ you can still get tickets for the show at the American Dream Mall on 10/30. If my pockets were deeper, I'd be there myself. I'll be seeing them in Houston on the 22nd. I've been a fan for almost three years now, it's been a heck of a ride. I love how they put a smile on my face when I hear them.

[@jamessummerlin9516]

I was an old bassist, Rock lover with nearly 50 years behind the instrument who had lost faith in the genre when I discovered Band Maid out of Japan and The Warning from Mexico. American may have lost its way abit, but I’m happy to say the rest of the young people throughout the world haven’t. I dreamed of these bands as well.

[@albertcornett7408]

Onset, Real existence and Play… the freaking official LIVE versions.

[@Gambi1994]

Another female rock band to check out after Band-Maid is Scandal; their song "Masterpiece" is definitely a masterpiece.

[@jordank2028]

Wait till this guy sees their official live MVs. He's going to love them even more than he knows.

[@hahaman7211]

It's time to check out some live performance. 🤘 1. DOMINATION live 2. Play live 3. freedom live

[@sanaaa234]

Deeeym!!!! Thank you for this!! Please react more to them and also try their live performances

[@nooyck]

New Maidiac !!! This band changed my life. from Industail metal fan to Band Maid fan .

[@edwardallen4051]

Wait 'til you see them live and they ramp it up

[@rubyvolt]

Dude, I tear up with this stuff in my car at a THOUSAND WATTS. There is nothing more beautiful than these ladies and their talent.

[@DaElfer]

This band has 1 drummer, 1 bassist, 2 guitarists, 2 singers, 1 pigeon, 1 gorilla, 1 assassin, 1 ice queen and an insane mincho. It's a very large band

[@hiroT1963]

That's right🤣

[@Lord_Heron]

Great reaction, there is so much more to enjoy from this band and they don't have any bad songs. The three songs I would like to see you react to are 1)Non Fiction Days MV, 2) Daydreaming MV, 3) Black Hole live video. This will show the variety this band is capable of, while still remaining perfect in every way.

[@_JimS]

They produced "Thrill" with only three musicians.... Kanami on lead guitar, MISA lead bass and Akane on drums. Miku (Band-Maid founder) on rhythm guitar didn't know how to play in 2014 and was just going thru the motions on the video, watch close. Kanami told Miku we need a fuller sound with another guitar and has taught Miku how to play, now she is one of the best today and has a signature guitar with Zemaitis guitars in Japan. Kanami has stated she herself can't ever strum as fast as Miku....a great complement to Miku. Not sure which tune was Miku's first recording, maybe someone out there knows. Tears of joy with Band-Maid..... yep, happens to me all the time. "Dice" is one of my topp 100 Band-Maid songs... Wait till you hear "Blooming" and "Domination" LIVE, "Manners" official music video

[@Miraie93]

And today Miku guitars skill was like she has been play guitars over 20 years. Are you kidding me. She just start to learn guitar 8 years ago. Japanese people is something dude.

[@saikisfang9339]

That is sooo Kanami. Of course, she would say that being the sweetest, most adorable, selfless, badass guitarist I know of.

[@amalamakalow782]

Don't you tell me, Moratorium, Play, Turn me on all lives

[@KenjaTimu]

Everyone is going through the motions in music videos.

[@Space_Ranger]

I think she has said, Kanami plays all the guitar parts in recordings but she does them live. Probably it's because Kanami comes up with the how to play at the time. Then she teaches Miku.

[@rabidrhyno7787]

You must watch them Live now. The next songs you watch should be: "Domination" official live "Freedom" official live "Onset" official live "Play" official live "Don't You Tell Me" official live Basically anything Live. Welcome to Band-maid!!!

[@arminthielen8570]

Hard to believe but the Official Live Videos of Domination or Freedom for example show , they are better live than in MVs. They add extra Solos and expand the Album Versions. You will love it. BTW " Sense " is the Opening Track for the Anime Platinum End , " Glory " the Ending track of a YuGiOh! Vrains Season. You can see them as well in the Netflix Movie " Kate " performing in a Club , and another Song is featured as well. Now enough pop culture reference

[@danjoseph7515]

I'd call to revoke your Man Card, but they often bring tears to my eyes as well! 🤘😂🤘 I'd suggest Domination, Play and Freedom, all LIVE, but I'm not sure you'd survive the experience due to an Awesomeness Overdose! 🤘🤩🤘

[@2abug]

3 Reactions?? We have been spoiled! Next BAND-MAID reaction should be LIVE: 1/ "Play" official live video 2/ "DOMINATION" official live video 3/ "FREEDOM" official live video But have you ever done four reactions before? 😏 4/ "onset" official live video Thank you :)

[@edgargonzalez163]

the Best of the Best 😎

[@ssnidely]

love these ladies. this is where you start when diving down the band maid rabbit hole. when you arrive at their latest "unleash" ( for the anime fan) you see the marked improvement over the yrs. to me they took off when they started writing their own music.

[@donviajero2580]

This reminded me of how much I prefer the live version of Choose Me to this studio version.

[@ami_rheyia]

HI Anthony, don't ever be embarrassed to say that you watched a lot of Anime back in the day, heck a lot of people much older than you still watch it to this day and honestly speaking they are a lot better than mainstream tv shows nowadays lol And you are absolutely correct, they truly remind me of Anime soundtracks, i've always wondered who were the bands singing these songs because they're just so epic!! now thanks to you I've been introduced to Bandmaid!! and fun fact, TXT sang one of the opening songs of the Black Clover Anime (which is one of the famous ones a year back?) so yeah :)

[@nicholasmoses3663]

Fun reaction. Can't wait to follow you on your Band-Maid journey. You've got a long awesome road ahead!

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

23:30 I felt in love instantly with "Dice" when I listened the first time. I love the speed, the raw rocky sound ... Just the right song for a fast car and a long road. I guess it's time for the live triple 1. BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k 2. BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Official Live Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk 3. BAND-MAID / onset (Official Live Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fVf2CglLqWZrc In my opinion in that order. Greetings from a Band-Madiac from Germany

[@Prober61]

You're still in the early days. Lives are next. Domination, Freedom, ONSET (instrumental) should be next. Alone is their first song of their own that the record company allowed them to put on an album. Different is an anami intro but save that. You're not there yet. :D

[@mae_mon]

My suggestions are Domination (Live), Play (Live) and RINNE(MV) . Enjoy BAND-MAID journey!

[@sanaaa234]

Bandmaid - onset live one then domination and no god all live please! Thankyou

[@avader5]

@2:10 This 2014 video was the make-it-or-break-it video for Band Maid. At this point Miku couldn't play the guitar since she thought she was only going to be a vocalist in the band. However this video did so well due to exposure in foreign markets, that it was decided that Band-Maid was going to be a successful project and that gave them the financial wherewithal to get started. This is before MISA and Saiki started dressing Gothic. Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!

[@musgrave6886]

band-maid: stellar in the studio, supernova on stage.

[@jpineda0527]

I love watching a new Maidiac being born. It's magical. Welcome to the amazing world of knowing that Band-Maid exists. We know you'll love it here. Everyone does.

[@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon]

Next should def be Real Existence. Arguably one of their best tracks

[@nooyck]

Same . Me too.

[@MrNovakngood]

Yup you’re definitely going down the band maid rabbit hole. As someone who has seen them live twice. The video’s don’t compare to the feeling of being there in a crowd enjoying and being a part of the crowd reacting to their performance.

[@npmushead6543]

You have the good dream. I also had the same. Now it's real.😊 Next songs suggestion: (all from the official channel) Play (live), Domination (live), Freedom (live) These were all performed at the same venue. Play and Domination were played subsequently, and the sounds are connected, so it's a good idea to listen to them in this order.🤘

[@kyles5513]

This was great. You can easily tell this dude is genuinely interested in this band. I can pick out the fakers, and as this guy may come off that way, i can tell from genuine body language he is for real. Actualy glad you did Thrill first, as it was their first MV. And alot more history behind that song but hope you do more Band-Maid reactions. Next I suggest going for the official live videos, they are an amazing live band. Play official live video, Domination official live video, Onset official live video. In that order. Edit: seriously, these three are the ones that will blow this dude out of the woods. Who eles agrees? Like fuc..

[@lllnnnwww]

I suggest to go with live version too. (It's all in BAND-MAID Channal) 1.Freedom Official Live Video or Onset Official Live Video 2.About us Official Live Video (Made me cry a lot) 3.Domination Official Live Video but if you have an exclusive limited edition box set, you can go more with "Giovanni Instrumental Version".

[@davidmejia7908]

Tears, chills, thrills and joy! The best band out there IMO - BAND MAID!!!!!

[@elleskz4158]

Thank you Anthony for always taking time to make your videos even if you don't earn anything from it, we appreciate.

[@surfingasongwave]

I'm giving Tony Griffin a thumbs up for suggesting live performances of "Freedom," "Play," and "Domination," although I suppose I should give honorable mentions to "Real Existence" and "Onset" but we have to draw a line somewhere. There are a couple of two-fers from the last couple of years of live streaming, "Manners"/"Black Hole" is one and "Dice"/"Different" is another and they are pretty good too. We'll wait until you're about ten or twelve videos deep with Band-Maid before we recommend their rivals Band-Maiko with music videos for "Secret Maiko Lips" and "Gion-cho." Death Note, eh? Maximum the Hormone did an opening. If you're not familiar with them, I'll suggest - oooooh, pick one. They're all weird. Mostly.

[@tonygriffin_]

Thanks for the thumbs up but those honourable mentions of yours are way up there and now I see it, I think I should have put Onset as #3 too! Or Real Existence. Or Wonderland. Or.......yeah, sadly we have to draw a line or we'd all be giving him our '100 favourite Band-Maid songs' list!

[@surfingasongwave]

@@tonygriffin_ And then we have to deal with someone like Ryan Mear listening to "Unfair Game" for the first time and complaining "Why didn't anyone ever mention this?!?"

[@Space_Ranger]

Well you said videos! So my picks: Manners, Black Hole/Sayonakidori/Onset. You get a bit of all their styles. Hard rock core with layers of punk, metal, blues, jazz, and more. Sometimes in one song!

[@avader5]

@8:17 Daydreaming and Choose Me were one of the first songs that were completely written by Kanami, before then they had other various writers and arrangers. This is where Band-Maid is finally producing their own type of sound. As always Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!

[@stups9975]

Bandmaid is amazing. They don’t have a bad song. I’d recommend The Nonfiction Days, Domination , or Warning.

[@nymeriagrey1454]

Domination (Live) Freedom (Live) Play (Live)

[@mikometal4882]

You next song for Domination live, play live, Onset live, No GOD ( it's intense song) Manners live or older mv like Real Existence ( second mv after Trhrill) Rinne mv, Let me down, Bubble, Yollo, Glory...Unleash the newest mv by band-maid. Finally band-maid will come with US tour. Only new-Jersey concert is not sold-out!

[@nomennescio4604]

Three songs? And no live stuff yet? Well; "Domination", "Freedom" and "Onset". the "official live versions". Those three are becoming a classic route into Band-Maid.

[@rubyvolt]

MIKU, rythm (learning from Mincho) writes most lyrics, especially early on and who had the idea of the concept band. Kanami Tono, lead guitar and master musician. MISA BASS (just say MISA, MISA, MISA). Saiki out front with the masterful voice. AKANE, that I mentioned in another comment, the drummer extraordinaire. These ladiies are for real and if it weren't for this misogynistic world they would be headlining stadiums around the world. LIVE always.... ONSET, PLAY, Alone, SHAKE THAT (no video, just audio), Moratorium, matchlessGUM (if you can find it), Screaming, After Life, etc...

[@Bodneyblue]

Suggestions...3 from my "imaginary Top 5"...."Daydreaming" MV my personal No.1...ballad....."Manners"..LIVE or MV..groove....And "Real Exsistance"..LIVE or MV..... Mincho!!.. (lead guitarist Kanami's on stage persona.)

[@jagjag3236]

I'm wise enough to know that I don't understand women. For example, about a week ago my phone rang. A woman's voice “This is Saiki from Band-Maid. Stop calling me!” "Nice joke, but it I don't have her phone number." “But now you have it.” Accompanied by a warm laugh, and a few words in Japanese. Click. Hmmm…that about that. ;-) Band-Maid best live in most cases. My suggestion for 3-song review: 1) Play / Domination / Real Existence 2) Wonderland / Alone / Daydreaming 3) Sense / Unleash / Manners Pick one from each, and you get a pretty good mix. PS. Band-Maid a group of ladies worthy of all respect in so many ways and levels.

[@StoneShards]

Even this stone-face reactor finally had to SMILE at the DICE chorus! He gets it...Three songs?...Alone, Daydreaming, and the Non-Fiction Days...These are some of their older greats. Their latest stuff is decidedly more speed metal-ish, not quite as melodic--but still always unique!

[@donaldcharbonneau537]

Really enjoying your reactions and thanks to your reaction to "Dice" I just discovered a new band. You should definitely do a 3 stack live performance next. Start with "Freedom" followed by Play "OFFICIAL" live video (If it only says "live" and not "OFFICIAL LIVE" it's the wrong one) and then follow with "Domination" live. All 3 of them are from the same concert (At Line Cube Shibuya) and just so you know "Play" is song #19 and "Domination" is song #20 of a 21 song concert, but the energy of these girls is so constant that you could swear these are the first two song of this AMAZING concert. After that, if you wanna get your mind blown by the skill of these amazing musicians, react to "ONSET" cheers!

Dear Anthony! Greetings from Shizuoka City under the benign care of Mount Fuji in spite of the stifling heat! You have got already some major commentators on your tail and at at least one major reactor! A triple reaction is a very good idea indeed as you can compose a small palette every time! You will get tons of recommendations, live or videos, which will make your life difficult.

Great reaction first off, subscribed for sure! With what you've seen so far I'd suggest Secret My Lips or Real Existence they have that same nostalgic feel. The official live versions are better but both versions are great. You can honestly pick any song and you are good to go though there is no such thing as bad songs with Band Maid no cap. No, really. They do rock but they have a lot of different feels in their songs some a little slower, some progressive some fast af but it's all Band Maid so it's all good. Can't wait to see more brother love the channel so far!

Great reaction and now that you've sipped from the well of life (and the official MVs), it's time to level up and watch their live performances. From their Feb. 2020 concert DVD (just before the world shut down), three of their songs from that concert FREEDOM - ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIqqlIJ4bbiSd68 ) #6 in concert PLAY - ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3biZKqaduabbc ) - #19 in concert DOMINATION - ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k ) #20 in concert

As he comments on stuff like "it sounds like an anime intro!" And stuff about live shows, I'm just grinning to myself like "he doesn't know yet!" But he will. Also. Totally gonna give black veiled brides a listen now.

" They are so cute and yet bad a**" I could not have said it better myself.

[@cheshirecat200302]

Woo! Absolutely delightful to watch yet another cave in and fall down deep into the BANDMAID rabbit hole. Come, join us here. 😂

[@firebirdguy3151]

Domination (Live), Freedom (Live), Play (Live).

[@takuyawatanabe7299]

Sense, different, domination (live), onset, blooming

[@jasonchai92]

Hell yeah, Anthony. You've officially reacted to both my favorite band/group in Korea (BLACKPINK) and Japan (BAND-MAID). If you like BAND-MAID and want more of them, I'd recommend the below three songs. 1. Onset (instrumental). 2. Domination (live performance). 3. Freedom (live performance).

[@MrSoundMaxx]

Funny story, that we won't go too far into , but.... You asked how many guitars they have. You see two but at this point it was really just one. Miku was still learning how at this point and Kanami was playing both parts in the studio.

[@jed4web]

You need to listen to their official live performance videos of Freedom, Domination and Play 🤟

[@violence_yakitori3552]

Isn't the intro of BAND-MAID's "Dice" (2018) a plagiarism of American glam metal band Black Veil Brides' "The Legacy" (2011)? It's been said quite a bit in Japan, but I think it's okay to say that both are homages to Guns N' Roses' "You Could Be Mine" (1991, famous as the theme song for the movie "Terminator 2").

A tear in the eye, chills up your spine, goosebumps. These are all symptoms of BAND-MAID Fever. This is nothing. You should see some of the newer stuff, especially LIVE. Dive Depp Into The Pigeon Hole!

Choose me is featured in the movie KaTe

[@franshendrix1404]

Aaah, DICE, 25 seconds in... 5 more and I was a total fan. THIS song instantly grabbed me and wielded me in.

[@rizmancorpuz]

Thanks for checking out Band-Maid. If you look back on your reactions you will hear yourself refer to bands from the past that you enjoyed while listening to Band-Maid songs. This is one of the reasons that Maidiacs like myself are drawn to Band-Maid. They remind us of rock's greatests yet modernized by these Maids. Their music is catchy hard rock with many of its sub genres plus more. Their compositions and musicality are top notch and their re-listenability borders on addiction.

[@alanstamper4345]

Excellent reaction! As good as these videos are, you will find Band Maid at a completely different level live. I like this 3 video format. I would suggest you do it again with the these three videos. Use the official live ones and in the order: Onset, Play & Domination. You may want to schedule time afterwards to recover.

[@Kelven486]

They are as good, if not better, live. Check out their official live videos, you will not be disappointed.

[@crapstirrer]

Dice is great. Second-hand stank face just from hearing that bass tone.

[@mikometal4882]

Welcome in the band-maid's world !!! Sometimes you will discover band-maiko too! 😉

[@jeanleveille5319]

"Domination" live and "Manners/Black Hole" live (one video with two songs) (Like Ozien said)

[@gipishack5989]

hello Men of Culture, I invite you to listen to their live "Manner" or "Domination" or "Onset" (instrumental) its in my favorites and I also recommend "Unleashed" even if it's not a live

[@superflylee003]

fantastic my man, thanks. next 3 live MV 1. BAND MAID Puzzle Live @ Studio Coast 2. BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video) 3. BAND-MAID / REAL EXISTENCE (Official Live Video)

[@joeseconi250]

Anthony awesome reaction to my favorite band out there. But now it’s time to get serious, you need react to them LIVE! It’s next level awesome. First up Domination live, next Freedom Live, then for the cherry on top something newer Black Hole Live. You will need sit down for that one. I think you are now officially a Maidiac. Welcome to the family
