IS THIS THE GREATEST BAND? Ex Metal Elitist Reacts to Lovebites "Break the Wall Live"

Maybe at one point of my musical journey, I would of been considered an Elitist. I just liked what I liked. But as I've gotten older I've realized there's alot of great music out there, and I want to find it! Thank You for bearing with me on the beginning stages of this channel. Feel free to request any song.

In the beginning of the song Asami said: "Yasunde hima nai yo!" (No time to rest!) Oh, yeah, she was absolutely right! ✌😃🤘

[@LongStroke01]

I was wondering what that was for over a year now...Thanks.

Miyako is a huge Gary Moore fan and you can really hear it in her solo on this track.

[@bonered9210]

about 40 days have passed since covid-19 landed on japanese archipelago, and the tour was at a time when the number of infected people was increasing rapidly. victor entertainment made an unusual announcement. "for those who have purchased tickets but did not come to the venue to prevent the spread of covid-19, we will refund the ticket fee."

[@davidtormaschy9988]

This song is awesome, now just need Thunder Vengeance, The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath (both from this concert) and Soldier Stand Solidarity (Off of the new album)

[@boyzyu]

The answer to your question is a resounding "YES" !

[@boyzyu]

​@@Vatvor Oh, I'm pretty much spot on actually. Absolutely no need to "swap".

[@mmcpa]

My heart will always be with 80's thrash/speed metal. This song/performance is, in my opinion, the best modernization of 80's thrash metal that I have ever heard. They do it Lovebites style, clean and fast, and with a ridiculous breakdown/solo section in the middle that is both unexpected and beautiful (a word not normally used in thrash). Lovebites are the queens of gallops and riffs, best catalog I know of. Now that you've reacted to their pure thrashiest song, try their heaviest song to date IMO, "Dissonance". It's audio only - strap in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZvPXmeCr6eDiJI Great reaction to this thrash masterpiece.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Yaaaaa Bro the thrash always gets me! You got it dude❤

[@waterwalker9600]

[@1970Phoenix]

In my opinion, "Dissonance", which is my favourite track from the "Judgement Day" album, has a bit of a black metal sound to it (excluding the vocals of course). Looks like that link is not longer working. Here's the official video (audio only) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZvPXmeCr6eDiJI&ab_channel=LOVEBITES-Topic

We do sometimes compare Lovebites to other bands. Usually it's the top bands who have been around a long time. So if we compare Lovebites to the best... then they must also be the best!

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

7:45 My single favorite expression connected with this band. It is a simple as that. Thank you so much.

[@Lemon_Force]

Asami loves writing and singing their thrash stuff! It's also her birthday today 🎉

[@realdocloco]

In my Top3 Lovebites songs forever - like you said, perfection of every instant, every note. I love that Miyako bring out the Les Paul for that song, because she NEEDS that singing tone for her solo (she usually only use it for two or three songs - it's a heavy beast).

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I SAW THAT! that honey tone was chef's kiss!

[@andreaspedersen3952]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody She used the Dean LM on the 2019 show... Compared to this it sounds thin, and lacks the roundness for blues. I believe this is a guitar she got on loan for this performance? At least what I've heard from another comment in a different reaction?

[@realdocloco]

@@andreaspedersen3952 No I think the Les Paul is hers. The main problem with the Dean ML (for that specific song) is the floating Floyd Rose Tremolo - unison bends always tend to sound wrong with those, because when you bend a string, the others strings goes slightly out of tune. It can be prevented by setting the trem for dive only, or using a trem blocker.

[@Kriszilla727]

Midori is an incredibly fast and technical shredder and I love hearing her wail... Having said that, Miyako just has an ability to reach in and make every note wrap around your heart when she really cuts loose. I like to think it's how she makes up for her constant stoicness. . If Midori is the brain playing, Miyako is definitely the heart doing the same.

[@TheCyberMantis]

They are the perfect team.

[@1970Phoenix]

I agree. But I don't think Miyako needs to make up for her constant stoicness. I personally love her stage presence - she lets her music do the talking, which is the perfect contrast to Midori's extraverted stage presence.

[@1970Phoenix]

One of the most musically talented rock bands on the planet. When you factor in Miyako's skills on the piano (not shown in this video of course), you could argue they might be THE most musically talented.

[@mmcpa]

I won't argue with you 👍🤘

[@jprules2578]

[@4thArmoredVet]

"IS THIS THE GREATEST BAND?" Right now at this period of time, on this planet... YES!

[@obud3777]

Former bassist Miho wrote the foundation for "Break the Wall", while Miyako then added color to the composition. Miyako wrote the melodic solo in the middle with Gary Moore in mind. From the EP "battle Against Damnation" Lyrics: Miho Music: Miho and Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites

[@VRsMagic]

MEGA AMAZING SONG🔥 LOVEBITES FOREVER🐺 GREAT REACTION BRO🤘🏻

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Dude it was so great, I really appreciate the kind words

[@waterwalker9600]

LOVEBITES is the new gold standard for heavy metal. 🤘🐺🤘

[@MissLoonasSpeech]

This song warms an old school Thrash Metal fan's heart and is definitely among my three favourite songs by Lovebites! Compared to the rather tame sounding studio version, the heavy sound of this version is absolutely perfect. Since you especially loved the main riff of this song, I recommend to listen to Testament's song "Over the Wall" from their debut "The Legacy" (it was my favourite album in 1987 and is not only my favourite album by them, but also one of my favourite Thrash Metal albums from the eighties), because the main riff of "Break the Wall" strongly reminds of the riff you hear for the first time about 37 seconds into Testament's "Over the Wall". Unlike Testament, Lovebites have not only one, but two excellent lead guitarists and I'd say the sound of this live version of "Break the Wall" is even better and heavier. As for other Thrash Metal songs by Lovebites, I fully second the recommendation of the live versions of "The Hammer of Wrath" and "Set the World on Fire" and the studio version of "Dissonance" (there's no live version yet) in previous comments.

[@mmcpa]

Regarding the studio version, this live version versus the studio version had the widest gap of "good"/"bad". I honestly don't like the studio version that much, because of this live version.

[@GarageYears]

Glad you did this version of the song - the version from 2019 (from the Daughters Of The Dawn show) suffers a little from Miyako using her Dean ML with the Floyd tremolo which is a bitch to play double string bends in tune... Miyako is smart and pulled out the Gibson LP for this show. Perfect. There are other thrashy Lovebites songs: "Set The World On Fire" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU), "Hammer Of Wrath" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWti4OLeNysha8) and "M.D.O." (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKvcenl7YsqFfpo) come to mind... if you liked this one, you'll love those 🤘

[@mmcpa]

I second The Hammer of Wrath!!

[@ronaldtjahya9253]

Those great musician show how perfection and precision in those tempo, those freaking guitar solo and drummer killing it, thank you reacting Lovebites ❤ 👍👍👏👌

[@Glynthepin]

I believe Haruna, has a partner so you are out of luck there. 😀 Great to watch your enthusiasm and appreciation of Lovebites. Japanese lady Metal/rock bands generally are all brilliant. To name a few who each have their own style, Band Maid, Nemophila, Gacharic Spin, Baby Metal, Hanabie. That is just the start! In addition, they can all play well live.

[@kevinbowland4686]

[@marting.h.9417]

This song has several influences, including Deep Purple.

[@1970Phoenix]

This is one of the best thrash songs ever written and performed. In my opinion, it is as good (or better) than anything by Slayer, Anthrax, Testament or any classic thrash band.

[@CrumblexEloi]

[@hiawatha.g]

Yes, M&M are the greatest guitar tandem in the world. The entire band have shown can do everything in metal (except screamo, so far) and do it at the highest level. This was the third song I heard from them and it was the one that convinced me they historically great.

[@LesDexia13]

Elite guitarists usually start playing their instrument very young, but not so for M&M. Both started piano as toddlers (Midori at 2 and Miyako at 3), but Miyako didn't take up guitar until she was out of high school (18) and Midori started while in university (20). They still have plenty of room to improve since they are both only in their early 30s - Miyako born 1990 and Midori maybe a little older since her first band started in 2014.

[@skoob-kq7ms]

Miyako is 33 and I think Midori was 35 on her recent birthday. BTW Miyako's first band A Drop of Joker also formed in 2013.

[@otobokegaijin6218]

Miyako's 1st band was ADOJ's predecessor GoDeath, which she joined in 2011. Midori's 1st band Gekijo Metalicche formed in June 2013. Midori graduated MI in 2013, but she was doing session/support work while in school. Btw, what's the source that Midori is 35 yo?

[@gordonbell8728]

LOVEBITES is the best band out today!!! Best of All time? I think so but time will tell

[@boyzyu]

@@Vatvor No, you are sadly wrong.

[@boyzyu]

@@Vatvor Oh dear, so now I'm an "elitist" ?? I guess when you have run out of logical arguments you resort to ad hominem. BTW, have a look in the mirror when you utter : "You're just an _______ elitist who can't stand it when someone calls other bands better"

[@beldin2987]

I think i was an "elitist" when i was between 16-20 or whatever, however for me there was nothing better than Yes, Genesis, Renaissance at that time. And next some jazz like Pat Metheny, Jan Gabarek, Keith Jarrett. But Yes was simply the best .. in the end it all makes sense because at that time we called it "symphonic rock", and while i heared a lot of all other kind of music in the later 80s and 90s, and there lost my "elitst" behaviour because i then even liked maybe Whitney Houston or Celine Dion, because they are just great singers, at the end of the 90s i first rediscovered Ritchie Blackmore with "Blackmores Knight" and then Nightwish and Within Temptation who in the end are now called "symphonic metal". Also if i think back, Blackmore also always had already some kind of symphonic stuff in his music, or the medivial folk elements. And now i notice its not a Nightwish reaction but Lovebites, but nonetheless Miyako is als a great Ritchie Blackmore fan, and they also have quite some symphonic / classical stuff in their music.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Ya so much has changed for me! I was stuck on Metallica for 20 years and still love em, but thats all I would listen too. Opeth though took top spot and still is my fav. This journey has been soooo fun.

[@salsaucedo]

Sorry the band Yes is known as a progressive rock band not symphonic that crap didn't come around till nightwish and epica came about and that operatic garbage is a joke to the rock scene.

@@Vatvor Let's agree to disagree then. My ears rate music. Your ears don't rate my music. Yes there have been countless great bands over the decades. No two greatest ever lists are alike. I like Lovebites a lot more than Hanabie, Nemophila, band-Maid, etc. Lovebites, FOR ME, is now "better" than some of my favorites up until now - Led Zeppelin, Exodus, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Opeth, etc etc. I can't tell you who you think the best are, nor can you tell me. And objectively wrong? I'm no great musician. Sure, I played piano between the ages of 5 - 20, and was pretty good at it. I've been listening to metal since I first heard Zeppelin in 1971.
