LOVEBITES - Holy War (First Time Couples React)

[@timferderer4979]

Agree with Mat, I enjoy power metal, but for me in small doses and its GOT to be good. These women are good.

[@marcinpopawski8199]

First time so short introduction Lovebites the team of power metal godesses. Asami R&B, jazz, soul, metal, rock singer, lirycs, Haruna one of the best drummer worldwide, founder, Miho bass guitar boss of the band, lirycs, founder, back singer, Midori lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, back singer, Miyako lead, rythm guitar, spanish guitar, piano, keybord, back singer, main composer but all Ladies compose. Welcome to the magic world of Lovebites. Thanks good reaction.

[@skoob64]

The members of Lovebites make it seem so effortless is because they are all such awesomely talented musicians as well as sophistictaed, well-educated women. It interesting to note that Chels didn't notice that, at the same time as looking like supermodels on the catwalk, all Lovebites' members,(except Haruna the drummer), performed a full 90 minute plus gig, playing their instruments, moving around the stage, headbanging and changing the pedals on their effects boards while wearing four inch high heels and do not even break sweat. They are definitely the real deal.

[@Celion27200]

in fact. because she is 5 month pregnant, Miyako doesn't wear high heels on this concert. safety of her baby is more important than high heels.

[@joewtf263]

This is speed metal type for that song. You can hear they're playing a trashy stuff from "Break The Wall" or "Thunder Vengeance" Nice reaction 🙏 I agree with you when you say "They're Iron Maiden (women version) 😂 Crack 🔥🔥🔥

Yes! Lovebites is fantastic! Badass all female metal band! ALL songs from this concert in Tokyo are fabulous!!! Lovely reactions! Subscribed. See you next!

[@snakewhisperer1]

Another great reaction! These ladies are really dynamic. What you would you want to hear next? More power metal?.....Raise some Hell, We the United. Some thrash metal?....Break the Wall, Thunder Vengeance. Power Ballad?....Empty Daydream, Epilogue (both of which Miyako, guitarist house right, showcases her concert piano skills). I'm just throwing out random ones that pop into my head. You'll get a lot of suggestions. You mentioned Iron Maiden. They list Iron Maiden as one of their main influences. It's certainly there! Asami is a female Bruce Dickinson if I ever heard one!

Well you just got your 1st dose of the LIVE FLAWLESS machine known as LOVEBITES. Insanely talented women who took all the glory of 80's metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.) and elevated to a whole new level with a bluesy vocalist who sings in English. Haruna/drums and Miho/bass started this band after their Destrose days to have a more European metal sound. Then added the most dynamic duo of Midori/ESP and Miyako/Dean to the mix and finally Asami as the vocalist. 1st all female Japanese metal band to play Wacken and Bloodstock (those videos suffer from poor audio not the bands performance). Only been around from 2016 but already have made a hugh impact on the metal scene. Toured with Dragon Force and their LIVE show in Tokyo 2019 and 2020 are well worth your attention. They do Power, Thrash, Ballads and Classical piano (Miyako is a trained concert pianist and only started on the guitar at 18). Some more songs you might enjoy: Scream for Me LIVE (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE) A taste of the Midori/Miyako duo in real flawless action. Raise Some Hell LIVE (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56QZK2eeKuansk) Empty Daydream LIVE (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonLkKiDgp5noLc) Great piano intro by Miyako and Asami's vocals before the usual power blast. Lovebites once bitten you are a member of the WOLF-PACK!!!

[@Rowlph8888]

All of their music, is based on the Iron Maiden structure,, bass driven, feed off Twin guitar attack, operatic vocals and theatrical/fantastical themes and Narratives. Miho and Haruna, in interviews specifically chose to ground, the band in that, and then Spin-Off from Their, but Not Change the Essential Structure.This May Be Why Miho has left, as may be other band members want to make changes

[@lemuria3467]

Finally!, i knew you guys were going to love this band ,pure skills. Now go for their thrashy songs ,"the hammer of wrath" or "thunder vengeance". There's also a great video clip from the song"when destinies align" that includes an amazing solos duo.

[@dregeye]

And I forgot to mention "break the wall" , Slayer riff+Metallica chorus+Satrani solo Lol

[@marting.h.9417]

So you’ve been Lovebitten too. Welcomed to the awesome world of Lovebites. Lovebites is (mostly) a power metal band but they have influences from Metallica, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Slayer, Dragon Force, Gary Moore, Whitesnake, etc., and they’re developing their own style. I recommend their live performances; they really shine live, especially their latest concert earlier this year “Zepp Divercity, Tokyo 2020”. Other recommended live performances are “Daughters of the dawn”, “Battle in the east”, “Wacken”. Avoid “Bloodstuck” (bad audio). My song suggestions: “When destinies align”, “Hammer of wrath”, “Shadowmaker”, “Break the wall”, “Rising”, “Signs of deliverance”, “Swan song” (with classical piano), “Scream for me”, “Raise some hell”, “Under the red sky”, and a special mention to “Liar”, “Thunder vengeance” (mind blowing), “Dancing with the devil” (classic rock and bluesy vocals), “Empty daydream” (nice piano and vocals with catchy mid tempo), “Epilogue” (epic power ballad, great vocals, nice piano, scorching old school guitar solos) and “Edge of the world” (epic power ballad, nice vocals, nice guitar solos and song build up)

[@Moontrail]

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

great reaction and review, both are lead guitarist.. best duo after Judas Priest and Dragonforce their music was inspired from 80's heavy metal band(Iron Maiden, Helloween, Judas Priest, etc.) Miyako the black haired guitarist also play piano, check out their song called : Edge Of The World a little info, their album was mastered/mixing by the people who worked on Nightwish and Stratovarius

[@vasilfilipov4877]

Yeah guys they've got that effect on you when you see them for first time. Thanks for your reaction to them and welcome to the Lovebites club. Now the band is formed 2016 in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho the bassist and composer ( she is the band leader) and Haruna the drummer ( the best female power metal drummer in the world at the moment). The other members are Asami the vocalist and songwriter ( before to join the band she was R&b and jazz singer she also composing ) Midori the lead guitarist and backing vocals( with the blonde hair one of the fastest female guitarists in the world at the moment) and Miyako the other lead guitarist, pianist and composer ( the main composer of the band same like Midori one of the best guitarists in the world at the moment). Lovebites are the winners of 2018 in category for best new metal band. Their last album Electric pentagram is nominated for one of the best 20 metal albums for 2020 year. The band is influenced by 80s metal. Miho the bassist and band leader mentioned once in interview- we are here to make something memorable. They want to step closer to their inspiration bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Halloween, Metallica and Slayer. So now you can check the song Thunder vengeance from the same concert Five of kind in Zepp Diversity Tokyo from this year. Enjoy it.

[@Rowlph8888]

You don't have to exaggerate about their prowess. It is very impressive, but it's simply a choice that they play fast progressive music. As for other artists, there are many that can play like this in Japan alone; What Sets Them apart, is the quality of the writing.Particularly, With the drumming, there are many petite incredible heavy rock drummers that can play like Haruna

[@alfredtorres2188]

[@stuartcoles3713]

Talented band and always good to watch and listen to. Scream For Me the live version is a track i think you would like

[@anderslofgren8235]

I read somewhere that their outfits, much like Band-Maid's, is part of an old Japanese tradition they call 'The Gap', the gap between the look and the VERY heavy sound. I would recommend Swan Song, We the United and Epilogue for more melodic stuff. The trashy stuff is recommended by others. We the united is fun because it's a 1-minute + dual guitar solo, ended with a high5...

[@DShiflet01]

The band themselves say something different. They say they wear the white because they are all small, and often play on dark stages, so the white helps them stand out and be easier to see. Nothing to do with "the gap".

[@anderslofgren8235]

@@DShiflet01 Ok, misunderstood by me then. Thanks. It kind of makes sense too :-)

[@alekhidell]

Anything from the two Zepp City shows (2019 and 2020) are guaranteed to blow your faces off.... I watched one video of theirs three weeks ago. Now I’m totally hooked. I haven’t played anything else recently. As you saw, their talent is off the charts, and though it’s fast, it’s excruciatingly melodic. Miyako (the “this is easy” guitarist) and Miho (bassist) are both big Maiden fans I believe. Miyako also admires Gary Moore and “Epilogue” live is a must see if you like Gary.

[@ronaldbowers2240]

I get the Iron Maiden feel from them also as well as Judas Priests on some of the other songs. It is great that new bands come out with new music the takes me back to my youth. Another thing I feel is Opera vocals meets Power Metal.

[@cepho8349]

Yeah, they intentionally harken back to older metal.

[@davidornberg]

I know.. they are beasts live but try the musicvideo When Destinies Align and put in the subtitles, It is a breathtaking video! BUT stay away from Bloodstock videos.. bad sound on those!

[@satomiwa]

Power Metal's never been my thing, I find most of it to be kind of cheesy and unintentionally Spinal Tap-ish, but Lovebites are my favourite metal band of all-time aside from Motorhead, who it could be argued aren't even really "metal", at least Lemmy made that argument throughout their entire existence and I tend to agree with him. I think it's because even when Lovebites play their more power metal-type songs, they're thrashed out quite a bit. They are influenced just as much by 80s NWOBHM and European power metal bands like Iron Maiden and Helloween as they are by 80s thrash like Slayer and early Metallica, and a lot of their songs are pure thrash, but even the more power metal-type songs, like this one, have more of a crunch to them than what I'm used to hearing from bands who play a similar style. Good call on Maiden, by the way. So many (mostly younger) reactors hear a track like this and go, "female Dragonforce", and I cringe every time I read that. Nothing against DragonForce, but they have that Spinal Tap vibe I was talking about that a lot of power metal gives me, and Lovebites don't have that, and would sound exactly like Lovebites even if DragonForce had never existed because they draw their inspiration mainly from classic 80s metal.

[@crackrat6166]

I’ve heard some folks refer to Lovebites as “Power Thrash”. In my mind it fits just right.

[@Rowlph8888]

The entire structure of the group is based on maiden, no one else. Miho and Haruna, were quite specific about that, when recruiting a twin guitar attack, to feed off Miho's bass drive and then recruited Asami for Dickinsonesque operatic sound and then choose fantastical and theatrical themes with English lyrics. Taking this into thrash and power metal genres, was an afterthought, but it still keeps the essential Structured. If the influence of thrash were a fundamental element, they would Certainly not have recruited Asami, but would have gone for someone more versatile, like Mayu(Nemophila), who is certainly more suited for thrash vocals, whilst still being able to cover heavy metal and more melodious songs in general

[@satomiwa]

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. Well, part of this. In early Lovebites interviews, Miho was pretty explicit about the sound they were trying to achieve, which she described in one interview as "power metal with other old school elements", and in another as, "original heavy metal, thrash metal, and a little rock". She frequently cited (along with Maiden/Steve Harris) Helloween and Anthrax as huge influences, and said that what she thought set Lovebites apart from other bands was that, "more than any other female band, we're influenced by classic American and European heavy metal". So at least according to Miho, who had the original concept for what Lovebites was going to be, power metal and thrash were never afterthoughts, they were always just as important and prominent elements to their sound as NWOBHM. It's also noteworthy that when it came time to putting the idea into practice, Miho wrote their absolute thrashiest songs like The Hammer of Wrath, Break the Wall, and M.D.O like they were statements of intent. She also mentioned that she has always loved beautiful female vocals contrasted with heavy aggressive metal music, which helps explain why she chose Asami and not a more "growly" singer. But still, the Maiden influence is the dominant one, at least in their earlier work, and it's not Dragonforce, it's old school metal. I hope I wrote this without coming across like a dick...

[@Rowlph8888]

@@satomiwa No, that's fair enough. if you were there, in the early years. All of the bandss you mentioned are great bands. But she clearly has a soft spot for maiden and goes on about them, all the time, in the interviews, even recently. Also, listening to a number of their tracks and the structure all seem to be maidenesque, even though, as you say, they pass into the Hard Rock and thrash. I guess I must listen to more of their stuff, if you say the following structure. Bass driven, twin guittar feed off, both harmonising with both guitars and one guitar supporting the others shredding, because fantastical more than real world themes, and opperatic vocal style. Lastly, I would add that is very interestinng in her most recent interview that she indicates how she is diffeerent from most artists in Japan, from the point of view that she values, the synergy of the instruments for a Superior listing experience, rather than seelf-indulgence in prioritising prrowes in individual instrruments, e.g.shredding, is overrated. Clearly she distinguishes between true talent being able to write consisttently great sounding material, rather than having to focus on technical expertise. The bottom-line is that most professional artists can easily replicate technicaally advvanced material that their peers have written, but this is not so much the case, vice versa. I think she may be implying. In this that other members may be trying to move the direction in a more exclusively progressive direction, which she is not interested in and may lead to them fading into obscurity, with a far smaller audience.

[@satomiwa]

@@Rowlph8888 I read into that exactly like you did. "Between the lines", as they say. I don't know if she was hinting at that intentionally, but maybe subliminally she sort of revealed how she's feeling. Like maybe to her, Miyako's taking the band in a more progressive/symphonic direction that that she isn't feeling so much, perhaps a bit too far away from her vision of Lovebites, with maybe some of the other members and/or management taking sides. Or something. I do feel like in the whole Lovebites hiatus drama, Miho felt hurt, and that saddens me, since Lovebites is her baby. But I don't know, it's just a feeling, and I'm certainly not going to assume or hold anything against anyone based on a feeling.

Japan can be a very strict conservative country so all of the pioneers of metal there had to go against the bias against metal. I think maybe it was easier to make money and garner fame as a pop musician but the metal musicians said the hell with that.

Japan is rather conservative, but things aren't that easy. I don't think there ever really was a bias against metal, at least not to a much bigger extent than in the West. Metal has been popular in Japan for decades. And there have been Japanese metal bands since the 80s. Loudness is a big one.

you guys should react to the lovebites songs Edge Of The World Five of a Kind, Swan Song w/ Chopin intro Five of a kind, Rising Live at Mynavi Blitz and Empty Daydreams live in tokyo 2019 for some of their slow stuff which is also amazing, and here is some ofmy favorite songs Scream For Me daughters of the dawn live tokyo 2019 which has 14 guitar solos in the song, We The United Zepp Diversity Tokyo 2020 and Burden of Time which Miyako does something amazing during the solos Metallica is my favorite metal band because i have been hearing them for 33 yrs since i was 6 however Lovebites is the most talented Metal band i have ever heard please let me know what you think

[@salsaucedo]

Well, you guys just hit the jack pot, once you get lovebitten you always want more blood. Awesome reaction I am new to your channel but an adamant follower and huge fan of Lovebites. I do have their entire collection but the new video they just put out awakening from Abyss live. I am sure that a lot of my buddies here have already informed you with a lot and suggestions and links. Get ready and put your seatbelt on your in for a rough ride of face melting mind blowing music that’s been missing for a very long time. You want to see Miyako and Midori go off a guitar battle you gotta check out Scream for me kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE Unlike band maid and baby metal who have gone way to poppy, Lovebites has been very consistent keeping it real. They don’t just do one genre of Rock/metal they range from rock hard rock thrash metal prog metal meta ballads to power metal influences from Iron Maiden Judas Priest to megadeth and slayer, plus there are a few song that I here influences of Micheal Schenker of UFO and his band MSG also some Gary Moore and Scorpions. If you are listening to Iron Maiden ir Judas Priest then you like power metal or heavy metal whatever you wanna call it it’s all the same, which comes from rock

You're being thrown off by them wearing white and looking elegant.. you're supposed to be thrown off! That's the point! They wear white and dresses for three reasons: 1. So they can be seen. I want to say that Midori (guitarist playing the purple ESP) is the tallest of the ladies, at 5'3", while Haryana (drummer) is 4'9"! If they wore black or jeans like every other band, you couldn't see them in stage, and they'd get swallowed up by everything else on stage. Wearing white helps them to stand out and be seen. 2. You don't have to dress like you just came off a construction site to play metal. They can be women, dress like women, and look elegant while playing just as good (and in a lot of people's opinions, BETTER) than other bands. They love to play hard, but like to walk around with a Louis Vuitton purse. 3. They are being against the norm for metal in Japan. If you want to see some "normal" metal in Japan, search for "visual kei". That's some metal there. LoveBites goes a completely different direction with how they look. They are Japan's metal anti-metal response to Japanese metal. They are really good. Also, all but one of their songs are in English. If you're going down this route, I'd suggest reacting to Thunder Vengeance or Breaking the Wall from this same show.

Thanks you for reaction..❤️❤️ next..when destiny align🙏

[@pinoypower69]

they have maiden influence. but a lot faster and heavier. in my opinion, they are better and more technical.

[@Rowlph8888]

Ridiculous to say they are better.maiden have 3 times the material and 80% of it is the best music in heavy metal.They are the greatest ever Heavy metal band, no question.Other bands such as Metallica, have still Got filler tracks and average albums and have less variety. Maiden don't Love bites have incredible music of the same level as maiden, but as you say heavier.. The difference is that they need to keep doiing this for another 10 years, to Even the cuts come close to matching maiden. Don't forget that they have to be "better," because they wouldn't even be able to write this material without maidens influence. They really are a replica - as brilliant and varied, as their music is, the enntire structure is based on maiden, and no other band. Miho confirmed this, in several interviews and to her and Haruna, Nothing touches maidens catalogue As good as the music is, they do not have an album yet which touches the Greatest ever heavy metal album - "somewhere in Time".But I eagerly await to see if they can match that, at some point, and then maintain consistent high quality for longevity.

You guys don't know about The Iron Maidens? (Of course you do)

[@juanitook1125]

thats not power metal thats is sinphonic metal

[@MatandChelsReact]

No, not really, There are absolutely no symphonic elements used in this song. Instead it’s heavy metal mixed with speed metal which in the end equals Power Metal.
