Lovebites - Holy War LIVE 2020 REACTION

[@rickfromtexas4659]

Great reaction. This band is such a treat to hear and watch. They are crazy good.

[@Prog.and.Metal.Fan711]

Oh, you really love Lovebites ! ! ! Me, too. 😄👍

[@jmetallover]

This band LIVE and this concert in particular will save your sanity until we can all get back to LIVE shows hopefully soon!!! This band has gotten so much better LIVE since their appearance at Wacken 2018, especially Asami who has really become a great front person and improved her LIVE vocals tremendously. If you want to be really blow away try Swan Song ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYWwYqGJhZyimrM) from this concert and watch Miyako go from concert pianist to shredder back to concert pianist during the song. These women have some much talent and lest we forget the 4' 8" dynamo drummer, Haruna who is always flawless as she drives these songs from start to finish!!!

LOVEBITES is my therapeutic regime for heavy metal deprivation

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I hear that!

[@jlrutube1312]

Shaun you do such a good job... I really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work. Also... This is a fantastic song by Lovebites!!!! Probably my favorite.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Thank you for that amazing compliment! I really appreciate it. And you're right, this song is 🔥🔥🔥!

[@Glynthepin]

Legitimate ending, middle and beginning! I don't claim to have heard every single song from Lovebites but I have heard the majority of their music and as yet, not one 'duff' track. Thanks you for your reaction. The more people who react to Lovebites the better. Hopefully, through KZbin, they will become as popular as Band Maid.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I'd love for them to become as big as Band Maid, they deserve it.

[@Glynthepin]

@@ShaunStackhouse It was KZbin views of Band Maids MV Thrill, that saved them from giving up, so I have read somewhere. Lovebites, have been promoted by DragonForce in the UK and they toured for a while with Dragonforce and even did a weird collaboration song. Covid, has really struck at the wrong time for them as they can not get out and actively promote Electric Pentagram.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Yeah I know, that is a harsh blow. They are a damn good band, and deserve success.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@ShaunStackhouse And both bands deserve to become as big as AC/DC was.

[@thedocofrock1890]

bestest most beautiful badass band of babes on earth. if and when they do come to the states you'd better prepare to go to war to get tickets. i'm still waiting almost 4 years now for that tour.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I've seen all five Rambo films. I'm ready for war! 🤣

[@thedocofrock1890]

@@ShaunStackhouse love the series but i still only have 'first blood' on dvd - same with 'rocky' . the first is usually the best

[@ShaunStackhouse]

In a lot of cases, you're right. I have a soft spot for Rocky IV and First Blood Part II though.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho!

[@stevefromlondon4949]

Great to see you back on Lovebites, Sean! The whole Five of a Kind blu-ray is absolutely phenomenal. Midori gave some lucky fans one-on-one guitar lessons over the weekend just passed, lucky sods! And Miyako does paid lessons on a regular basis. She's also started updating her own KZbin channel again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZzbfZ-KrqegbMU Pleeease can you check out the new Nemophila video for their second single, RAITEI. They're another all-female band, something of a supergroup - kzbin.info/www/bejne/opmQlYmCgLVmZ5Y Cheers!

[@snakewhisperer1]

One thing I found interesting is that Miyako chose the middle finger for a deep bend. Conventionally, a guitarist would choose the ring finger for that. Midori seems to have the more "classic" shredder technique. I've wondered if it's Miyako's classic piano training that influences her guitar technique. Oh, and just as a heads up, fancams do exist of Misa having a tapping call and response with Kanami.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Agreed.

[@TheNightOwl11683]

If you haven't seen much bass tapping, you need to see Galneryus. Two songs I recommend are Force Of Courage & Destiny. Angel Of Salvation is another masterpiece by them. Their guitarist Syu is a God & so is their bassist Taka. The entire band is incredible.

[@paulread4886]

INSANE !

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Yup! But in a good way. LOL

[@alexzenteno1]

Great band, love it, Female Japanese band are awesome. Check Band Maid its another Japanese female band but play exelent Hard Rock see Domination Live

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Band Maid is amazing!

[@ChuckJansenII]

Great reaction.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Thank you so much! They're such a great band to react to.

[@alfredtorres2188]

Glad you enjoyed this song. Here are more links to that same concert: Here is "Break The Wall": kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJKxXmCCfs2en9E. This is "Dancing with The Devil": kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqGkoZycgZuJapY. And this one is "Thunder Vengeance": kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ioaIOneNV6n5Y

[@sangief17]

So fucking talented

[@hiawatha.g]

Don't wait for them to come to America. Go to Japan, if they'll let any of us in...

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I wish!

[@siscob]

Lovebites are the best band out there right now. If you haven't seen Signs of Deliverance from Zepp 2020, then do so. Spoiler alert: catwalk, overhand tapping, dual guitars. The difference between Band-Maid and Lovebites isn't the talent it is genre (Ok, Lovebites ladies are a bit more talented). Hard Rock is more acceptable than power/trash metal they play. Band-Maid and Scandal are more popular in Japan too. Aldious has more of melodic power metal and they are out there for a decade. The new band that is gaining popularity is Saki's (Mary's Blood) Nemophila. You should check them out if you haven't. As for tapping Misa from Band-Maid does it, as well as Tomomi from Scandal, though not in their recorded songs as far as I can tell. Someone mentioned the two Guys from Kami Band and Asterism (should check that mixed group). Both play 8 string bass. Miho is such an underrated bassist, she is actually one of the best. Just she doesn't really care to showcase that and simply enjoys what she is doing and the whole experience with the band. I won't go into 4'11 Haruna the energizer bunny drummer, because there are no words to describe her.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I'm actually trying to find a copy of the Zepp 2020 concert, but I can't seem to locate it. I could get a lot of reactions from that show.

[@siscob]

@@ShaunStackhouse kzbin.info/www/bejne/faOoomCXmreqra8 It has 5 of them in Live Stream too. I have some downloaded since it appears some of these videos disappear quickly.

[@marting.h.9417]

I guess you haven’t reacted to “Dancing with the devil”, a classic rock song and Asami’s vocals sounds more bluesy (same concert).

[@ShaunStackhouse]

I don't think I have, but thank you for the song title. I'll add it to my list now.

[@hiawatha.g]

There are at least two other Japanese bassists who tap, and they actually do it a lot: Boh, from Kami Band (Babymetal) and Miyu Yoshinaka (Asterism). And as far as Metallica having the same intensity, Ok, but they never had two true lead guitars. Clone Kirk Hammett and then maybe they're as good as this.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

That's true, but James has done his fair share of leads. I get what you're saying though.

[@jmetallover]

If he wants to see tapping then Asterism Stars LIVE (kzbin.info/www/bejne/goese3mee5trhsk) is where he can indulge as Miyu and Harauka both tap the hell out of their guitars in a small venue in Beijing, China. Miyu does it with a 6, 7, and I think even 8 string base at various times.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA from Band-Maid has been known to tap especially in the intro to Clang Live

[@hiawatha.g]

@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook True. Of course, MISA can do pretty much everything! Miho of Lovebites also taps on occasion. Another bassist (not Japanese) who does it all is Eugene of Jinjer.

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Also, Billy Shenan(sp?) From Mr. Big and David Lee Roth.

[@zoranbl1990]

React to Swan Song live next. You will love it maybe even more than this. Nobody can touch them. Nobody plays at this level. This is beyond amazing

[@ShaunStackhouse]

Oh, I have. It was epic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKDJeIqtmpaIhpo

[@zoranbl1990]

@@ShaunStackhouse Than use whatever video you can find from 2020 Zep. Amazing show. I ordered the dvd from Japan and watched it like 7-8 times. Its really great. I have all songs seperately in hd 1080. If you want i can send it to you

That would be awesome!!!!
