In 2016, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin caught a performance of Band-Maid in Tokyo and asked for a photo-op with their drummer, Akane Hirose. Reportedly he told her that she was like a reincarnation of John Bonham. For those who don't know, BAND-MAID played in the Classic Rock Awards 2016 and received the Japan Next Generation prize. After the show Jimmy Page, asked Akane for a photo.

They are at the forefront with any band. "We are not a pop or idol band. Judge us by our sound." That's a direct quote from small pigeon. She also says Band-Maid is a hard rock band.

There’s a lot of elements. Hard rock. Some pop influence. They hint at metal. Now if you want metal. X Japan. Sadly they aren’t around anymore but they were huge back in the 90s

I've probably seen a hundred reactions to this song already but it's so fun to watch people enjoy. I like seeing the different things that people notice like how akane is always making faces etc. Such a good time watching! Thanks for the video and check out BAND-MAIDs new upload!

[@jimmysworld2512]

Any time John... thanks for watching and for letting me know about new upload 😎

[@JFrancoDrums]

Band Maid classify themselves as more Hard Rock, but they have metal influences here and there, also punk even some pop. For Metal im going to leave some suggestions of a band called LOVEBITES. (all female japanese band, but they sing in English) Shadowmaker LIVE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Oon6iNoKytY5I - (the band is also watching in this one) Raise Some Hell LIVE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmPVZn96g7ydqqs - (you can turn subtitles on in this one) Thunder Vengeance LIVE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ioaIOneNV6n5Y They are all from the same show. Hope you enjoy!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Kanami Tono...lead guitar, with a Bachelors in Economics.

[@jimmysworld2512]

Damn!!! Genius musician 🤘

[@outwest1014]

The maid costumes are the "Gap", meaning the difference in what you are seeing "demure maids" vs what you are hearing Hard Rock. A concept popular in Japan. FYI they are in their own words a ROCK band. Akane (drums) also plays the Trombone. They are all professionally educated/trained musicians who worked as backup/session musicians and singers prior to Band-Maid. Japan along with Korea has the most dynamic music culture in the world right. Coupled with a supporting infrastructure of schools to educate and train talented kids. Kanami, MISA, and Akane were playing the piano at 5 yo.

[@gmac6503]

Yay! Another Band Maid fan! I am so happy when I see others happy when they hear Band Maid who I never heard of until February 2020. Great Reaction!

[@jimmysworld2512]

Thanks G...loving the plummet into the rabbit hole... Band Maid is just the tip of my iceberg (and to think I’ve discovered like 30 or 40 new artists) There’s at least 4 more from Japan I’ll be checking out in the next few weeks!! Super stoked🤘😎🎸

I recommend the another all-female japanese POWER METAL band. "LOVEBITES" LOVEBITES / When Destinies Align(Official MV) LOVEBITES / Thunder Vengeance(Official live MV)

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Soon, he will discover Maximum The Hormone and Ningen Isu.

[@Beastify19]

this whole concert was great, the dvd is def worth it.

[@mitchellhodgemeyer7306]

I mention to everyone when music comes up that, IMO, Japan has THE best music scene in the world right now (and has had for a while) - both in terms of diversity and innovation. Additionally their music scene isn't overly infected with all things hip hop like so much popular music is in the US. They have a hip hop scene of course, but it doesn't influence everything and get all the attention like it does here. Over the years Japan has integrated many different influences into their overall music scene, cherry picking the best bits and turning it into something awesome and uniquely Japanese. Half the music I listen to seems to come from there these days (and, weirdly, Northern Europe and Canada for some reason - they seem to have a fair amount of cool stuff these days too.)

[@daveminers3404]

Try Ningen Isu "Heartless Scat". It's excellent!

[@keithvincent8760]

Yes it is.

[@euphorigenik]

Dir En Grey, Crystal Lake, Nemophila... there's a lot. Greetings from Japan.

[@Wombatmetal]

Lovebites, Maximum the Hormone, Crossfaith, and the grandaddy of them all, X-Japan, and the solo project it spun off, hide and Spread Beaver. And Ningen Issu to see it done old school.

[@jimmysworld2512]

Thanks Dean😎🤘🎸

[@alexander_sinclair]

Band Maid is great. If you want to get into some really interesting Japanese rock, you should check out 0.1g no gosan "menhera doll". React to the music video that shows the singer with blue and pink hair and hearts under eyes. Technically considered Visual Kei.

[@ristusnotta1653]

Check out Turisas - Stand up and fight, another metal band from Finland

[@zer0tzer0]

The reason Akane makes faces is because it's a band tradition to gather around her drum kit and make faces at her to try and throw her off. No such luck. Once she's locked in there's no way to throw her off. She is a machine!

[@jimmysworld2512]

Seriously... so much fun to watch and amazing to hear them play!

[@specialk5257]

If you are going to pigeonhole BAND-MAID into a genre they are definitely hard rock.

[@jimmysworld2512]

There is no pigeonhole they can really be put into... unless insanity is considered a pigeonhole... I am quickly learning the subtleties of hard rock vs metal🤪

[@mattiaswibom4788]

Great band! And for me it also shows that bass and drums can make a huge difference when the quality is tip-top. Sometimes I tend to see those as a bit of run-of-the mill fill outs or something

[@jimmysworld2512]

Yes!! Its not just standard stock playing where any “pro” could fill in... they are technically superior like a symphonic metal group playing hard rock... in maid uniforms...🤘🎸🤪

hello jimmy, If you are already impressed by the babies and the maids, check out these five ladies. they are at least so good as the aforementioned: "Lovebites - Holy War live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020". all female japanese metal (real metal, not hardrock) band, sing english, influenced by european and american metal, opened for dragonforce on their UK tour 2019, first all female band played wacken 2018. they are the best powermetalband in 2020 along with Unleash the Archers. instantly loved them. they deserve much more recognition, thats why I´m a bit pushy.😁 greetings and love from germany. stay safe and well.
