Lovebites - "The Crusade" (Official Video) - First Reaction!

[@whirled_peace]

LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics: Walking in shadows, immersed in deception While hiding our agony, faking a smile Pulling the trigger to lose my religion All of the truth ends up murdered by lies Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me Let’s start the ritual for the revenge Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers Being the odd one out drives me insane I’m a fool in disguise You’d never realize Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade Wanting an answer, but losing myself While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors All of your words were just nothing but lies Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me What do you see through your sinister eyes? Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors I had no choice but to hide when I cried Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Always believe, hope is the key Break free Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal Deep down Destroy the restraints, never again Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade SOLO: midori / miyako Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down Be true to yourself and your beliefs It’s time to get up and breath ----- lyrics: miho music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Battle Against Damnation EP 06/06/2018

There’s no difference between live and studio. They’re just that good. In fact, I think their lives are better.

[@gatograto]

I agree with you. Lives are better.

I was looking for a female vocalist for my band years ago. I interviewed one young lady at a karaoke club. The voice was there, but my suggestion of utilizing a mirror to practice with to tune in her stage presence was not well received. LOVEBITES, especially Asami coming from a dance background, know plenty well the benefits.

[@guitarzen5999]

Two things. 1- Never tell a woman what to do 2- People that come from karaoke backgrounds make the very worst front people. Been there 😉

[@JFrancoDrums]

The band is finishing recording at the moment, not sure if its a full album or an EP but something is on the way! 🤘🐺 Also Miyako released a new video making a demo and showing her workflow if you wanna check it out RC - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sICnpoSQZbCUbM0

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you very much for this! I just put it in the rotation!

[@boyzyu]

The band has been posting teasers on their social media about impending new songs. Looks like we all haven't got long to wait (I hope) for new material 🤘🐺🤘

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

I've seen them - cool - but short on definitives. Truly "teasers".

[@RichZee777]

I really like this MV, it really hits you hard with that twin guitar iconic LB sound and the imagery is a collage of some of their earlier shows. It is very similar to Golden destination in terms of Imagery and the feel of the song.

[@hiawatha.g]

Play this back to back with Maidens "Aces High" official video. The influence is clear, but it's also clear that even in their prime, Maiden didn't play at this level. The biggest difference is the drummers. Haruna just plays circles around Nicko. Is this a slam on Maiden? No. All human pursuits progress over time. Technology. Medicine. Science. Architecture. Sports. Why not heavy metal? Someday there will a band that outplays today's Lovebites. Of course, that will take a heavy dose of genetic engineering and some special training techniques.

🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘and.... you know what's coming ! ...........Miyako !!! 💗

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Miyako!

[@fab1901]

Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES.😃 (As of April 25th) According to 👑Miyako, ⭐Haruna⭐ finished recording the album she is currently working on before April 25th, and it is now her turn to record the 🎸guitar parts. So, I think the recording has already finished. Just wait for the release announcement!💝🎁💓 Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏

[@fab1901]

Regarding the demonstration content of Miyako's compositions on KZbin, Miyako mentioned the following. I'm sure you'll be asked this question, but to answer first, this is not a new LOVEBITES song. I write songs that are barely accepted for the video just for the sake of the video! Thank you.

[@guitarzen5999]

It's a shame that Miyako's insane tapping throughout the choruses gets buried in this mix. It does sound/look great in the live though. 🤘

[@VRsMagic]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 THE BEST‼️

[@kaieasthammer8243]

Great pick up, in the stand and deliver video you can see them in their studio also practicing In front of mirrors, so obviously it's something they have always done and still do. 😊

[@endosuleiman2335]

Nemophila also do the same. I guess that the way they practise over there.

[@salsaucedo]

They show the same on their Stand and Deliver "Shoot'em down" music video.

[@luisfernandomunoz6315]

Miyako has a new YT video. She is composing music in the studio. Perhaps a new LOVEBITES EP is in the works. They're known for releasing EPs, albums and live concerts. 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@785boats]

I second that motion. Absolutely inspirational.

[@tonym480]

If you have not watched it, the official video for 'Stand and Deliver' has more studio footage which again shows the mirror. Not being a musician or performer, it had never crossed my mind that they were using it in the way you described, but hearing you say it, it makes perfect sense. Thank you for the insight.

[@oldguymetal]

There are a couple of videos at the 2020 NAMM show featuring Miyako and Midori. You might take a listen to see what you think.

[@sonnynguyen9103]

Thank you Rock for reacting and supporting Lovebites.

[@CarlosJavierNogueiraMartinez]

Hello friend, hello everyone. Completely agree with you. These girls in white sound fantastic live, partly because of the intrinsic quality of all of them and partly because in their studio recordings they do not abuse additional tracks, they are strong, forceful recordings, but in reality simple, focused on being reproduced in straight. They're great, I love them, and obviously I can't be objective about them (nor do I want to be).

[@marks5451]

In 3 weeks time my destiny aligns. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ericdarlington2332]

most Japanese bands practice this way i have seen Gacharic Spins practice room it looks much the same as this one does you know the culture in Japan prides themselves on everything they do , they are all pefectioists and the Labels and produces behind the bands go way out of their way to provide support and everything the bands could possibly need to be the best they can be . some can be a little too protective and controlling but it is not the mixed up everything is separate and cost the bands all of the profits they may otherwise make like over here

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

Also The Warning do have the mirror in their „cave“ since they‘ve been teens …

[@ericdarlington2332]

@@stand.and.deliver.5 yes they had great support from their parents . this just makes my point even more , small U.S based bands just cannot afford luxuries like good practice rooms . I have played since i was a teen ( 62 now ) and we were lucky to have a clean garage or empty basement to practice in lol I am sure R.C. knows exactly what i meant

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

@@ericdarlington2332 Indeed I do!

[@guitarzen5999]

​@@stand.and.deliver.5Most of the rehearsal studios (I've used) have mirrors and other amenities. It's a pretty common thing.

[@dennisdove1230]

Dont think youve reacted to we the resurrection yet. Another great song.

They take Iron Maiden and bring it to a whole another level. Love this song! 🤘🐺🤘

[@gatograto]

I think live versions are better. I don't understand why they suppressed Miyako's epic tapping riff in this mixing.
