LOVEBITES - SCREAM FOR ME - Ryan Mear Reacts

I recorded a whole video from a concert for this one.....all without hitting record. SO....I did another one with a different version which, I feel, ended up being a better version of the song. Good stuff!

[@ckiemnstr345]

I'm really grateful that Midori and Miyako were brought together with Lovebites. They would have been outstanding in any other band but together they are something else.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Agree, this will soon be a legendary pairing of two great guitarists. Individually they are awesome, but because they both have a unique style they compliment each other so well and create an amazing sound to the songs by Lovebites.

[@shadowstar9261]

Check out their song called Burden Of Time or Dancing With The Devil. Trust me you will like it, it's not power metal maybe more hardrock.

[@andretogol]

I love these girls and I'm glad to see them together smiling, I hope to be able to see the Lovebites live🤘🏼🐺🎸🥁🎤💖🇮🇹

[@carldevries9108]

It is always nice to have my nonmusical talent opinions backed by a real musician. You listen to something and wonder if it is really as good as you think. I listened to mainstream radio for most of my life until about 5 years ago. So I have heard a lot of crap that got foisted on us by the music industry in North America. I liked a lot of it and that is why I sometimes doubt my musical ear. I can't stand most of the modern "music" now though, especially after discovering bands like Nightwish, Bandmaid, Lovebites and Unleash The Archers to name a few(all through the internet). So watching actual musicians geek out over these bands is super enjoyable and I'm now addicted to watching reactions on KZbin.

This same in studio, try the song Burden of time, one of my favorite rock songs now. Shadowmaker from in studio as well. Theses are all songs from their first album, they re-recorded the songs in their own rehearsal studio, aka The Abyss. Back in October, for third anniversary. Try their song Empty Daydream live, you get Their bit of Dream Theater influence. Um, try Epilogue, Midori plays acoustic guitar. Frozen Serenade, she plays Flamenco guitar. Yes they play acoustic, shred. At the Namm trade show in Anaheim, Cal in Jan 2020, Midori played in the Kemper Amplification area, could sit a few feet in front of her. Miyako was at show as well. Midori is so down to earth, chatting, shaking hands , selfies.

🤘👉LOVEBITES Eagle Fly Free Helloween cover Awake Again Live from Abyss 1080p kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqCVYnt_gb-pj6c Haruna first fell in love with metal when she listened to Helloween. She had apparently been asking Asami to sing this song from time to time since the early days of LOVEBITES' formation. Finally, the band members decided to officially perform a cover of this song as a gift to Haruna :)

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

good reaction, some people maybe don't know if Lovebites have slower/medium tempo songs, not always play power or thrash metal. Since you like medium tempo songs like this one. I'm sure you love these songs: - Dancing With The Devil - Burden Of Time - Empty Daydream I hope you check it out, thanks

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Miho Miho Miho!

[@hiufernando7340]

Yes, this from they concert live streaming. On this live streaming they cover song too from Helloween. The song called "Eagle fly free" For me that's the best cover song Eagle fly free by Helloween. Thank you for honest reaction.

[@killermonjero]

I think they were a lot more comfortable in this setting for some reason. But you know it's true, because Miyako ALMOST smiled a couple of times.

[@Ratovx]

Miyako is shy, of course she would be more comfortable in the studio with no crowd

[@killermonjero]

@@Ratovx My comment wasn't meant as a criticism of her, if that's how you interpreted it. I was just poking a little fun at her. And I only do that to people I like. No, I don't know her, and I can't really like or dislike someone I don't know, but her kind of shyness is something me and her have in common.

[@guitarzen5999]

Miyako and Midori putting on a guitar clinic!

[@freddygonzalez5523]

Great reaction I like that each one has their own playing/stage presence style but I absolutely love watching Miho headbang and how Haruna looks so happy to be playing the drums. 🤘🏽

[@Medley3000]

1:23 Have you noticed the lovely gear Miyako plays? Dude! It is a Dimebag Darrell Dean.

[@RyanMear]

Oh yeah...LOVE that guitar!

[@RobinC63]

Have you checked Shadowmaker from these sessions? I freaking love Haruna. Those cute smiles towards the overhead camera. You could meet her on the street and never know that she's a monster metal drummer.

[@RyanMear]

No i have not

[@michaelmunno]

I love them all, but at first the bassist Miho (founder) caught my attention she's a truly under-rated bass player IMO, her stance itself is so powerful, then Miyako (guitars, grand piano and vocals...with such fierce intensity always,) but then Haruna captured my heart and continues to rock it. I love that little woman, she's such a powerhouse on the drums and she's constantly emanating positive energy much like Akane does for Band-Maid, she's the core here and she drives them with her energy, you can just feel it, not the same band with any other drummer IMO.

[@junkgroovejunk]

Haruna and Akane are good friends.

[@cyberpotato63]

By the way, the ultimate version of this song is from the Daughters of Dawn concert video. It's on KZbin. You don't need to do a remake, but look it up for your personal listening.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and this was a live stream (back in Oct. 2020) that was face melting and they've uploaded a few of the songs. They all seemed pretty relaxed during the performance and the mix was perfect and we got to see Haruna a lot more.

[@falconsooner]

The mix really has a big impact on these livestreams. On one of the Band Maid livestreams...you couldn't really hear the kick drum especially on the first few songs. It got better later on but still never as audible as it should have been. It was pretty frustrating.

[@gatograto]

@@falconsooner I know what you mean. Lousy engineering ruin the whole thing sometimes.

[@Glynthepin]

With this studio session, I always think it looks like Haruna has bunked off School to play with the big girls. 😀 If you watch Lovebites cover of Helloween's Eagle Fly Free, recorded in the same studio session, for almost half a second you see Haruna concentrate! Miho has many metal bands T shirts and has met her hero Steve Harris.

[@bishopsteiner7134]

IIRC the lyrics for this are by a friend of the band, Dr. U. (An American friend of Miyako's). "Re-upload" IIRC is just this youtuber had it taken down before. This is from their "Live Studio" Album "Awake from Abyss". Whole show is balls out great. Overall, Miho and Asami pretty much split lyric duties (and I'm sure they polish each other's stuff), with one song, "Bravehearted" written (music and lyrics) by our Atomic Clock, the Pocket Nuke, Haruna. And it's mindboggling to me that both Midori and Miyako were playing Metalcore before Lovebites (nothing against Core, but one doesn't exactly tend to thingk "MetalCore and Guitar Virtuoso" in the same thought). If I'm being honest, Lovebites and Band Maid are the first two bands to grab me and not let go, since I discovered Nightwish back in the early 00s, and before that? Metallica and Maiden in the late 80s. A lot of bands I enjoy, like Sabaton, Gojira, Primordial, and enjoy a lot, but these two bands, and Maiden probably comprise 70% of my listening on a given day.

Who? What'd I miss??

[@falconsooner]

I haven't listen to much LB and admittedly more of a hard rock and blues guy than metal. I liked this one a lot more than the last one (Holy War I think) you did. I don't know my metal genres (I am definitely not a metalhead) but the riffs in this one seemed to have more of a rock feel to it than Holy War. Plus I liked the fact the solos in the middle seemed to be a bit shorter and to my non metal ears kept the flow of the song going. Regardless...one can't deny their crazy talent. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

they actually have some hardrock songs or maybe I'm called it "medium tempo". If you like this song, probably you like another medium tempo songs such as: Dancing With The Devil, Empty Daydream, Burden Of Time, Inspire, The Unbroken.

[@falconsooner]

@@funnyrailroadcrossing2767 Thanks for the suggestions!

[@interstellardave]

I also like this song better than the other couple of Lovebites songs I've heard. The other songs, while great, were "metal being metal" for lack of a better term. Metal music, especially speed metal (if that's the right term) can sometimes sound "samey", even if done to a very high level. This song has a lot more variation to it, so it's quite a bit more interesting to me, and pleasing to my ears.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

@@falconsooner Also "Rising" is more on the rock side than the metal side. You should also check out their slow songs/ballads like "Edge of the World" and "Epilogue".

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

@@interstellardave Check out "Edge of the World" - it has about six different parts to it, all different from each other. An epic level masterpiece IMO and a top 5 Lovebites song. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHi1qYt5edmFfKM

[@walterching-fj2mt]

I love MIDORi, her smile❤❤❤❤❤

[@hiawatha.g]

You are correct, in the live concert version they missed a few notes. During the final duel, you can see Midori make a face when she misses one of her bends. It's to be expected--this is one of the craziest guitar duels ever recorded. The fact that they get it essentially perfect on any single take is pretty amazing.

[@RyanMear]

Agreed. I stated something similar on my initial take, it was still super impressive. That's what cued me into the lack of effects. That's trapeze without a net!

LOVEBITES - Scream For Me lyrics: Communication breaking up and I can't figure it out Baffled So out of touch with what's to come All because I just can't seem to get through to you We wait Debate Our fate Trying to escape from all the deceptive rules I've had enough So what's the way for us to get it？ Before you go shoot me down Now's the time to come together Hear me out Cause what I think What I'm thinking about is If we let it take forever we just may lose it all So what I think What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free - Panic fuzed me！ I wonder what you see whenever you're here standing in front of me What would it take to make a break From running in circles that only aggravate？ Inside we hide but why？ Genuine perspective could be the greatest gift we ever share I care enough to talk about it Come on Please don't shoot me down Now's the time to come together Hear me out Cause what I think What I'm thinking about is If we let it take forever we just may lose it all So what I think What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah Let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more Let go Take a step into a new tomorrow The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge So you gotta let your soul be free - panic fused me！ ----- lyrics: Dr U music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

[@もしかしてマホ-レ]

this song is, one of the great rock,n roll song ！👍

[@DaveKaiju]

The difference between the Live 2019 "daughters of the dawn", and this studio live version, is the maturity level. "DOD" 2019 was their 1st live dvd/bluray. still had a lot of kinks to work out. As where this version was shot during the pandemic's beginning. so yeah, a lot of growth over the period. Now the big mystery is, who will replace Miho on Bass. Japan, has a lot to offer as far good solid Female bass players out there..

[@junkgroovejunk]

I would be very glad if the next bassist would be "wakazaemon". kzbin.info/www/bejne/labTiYR9msSLfNE

[@jamesgreen5431]

I'm with you Ryan that Haruna is one of my favorite all time drummers. Always playing interesting stuff. Sort of why Jukka of Nightwish, Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche, both Iron Maiden drummers, and of course the Professor Neil Peart are also on that short list.

[@mikkosak]

Well, you spotted out Metallica so you might like Break the Wall or Awakening/The Hammer of Wrath live 2020, it shows one more side of a coin.. Bet you like the solos too

[@interstellardave]

Hey, Ryan... completely off the topic of Lovebites, but I put a comment on the community page under your "Next up, Doryemptia!" post. I didn't know where else to put it, as it's not really a reaction request, but a head's up for an album I think you should really hear (everyone should hear, actually). "Queen of the Murder Scene" by The Warning. It required a long explanation. You'll see...
