LOVEBITES / The Hammer Of Wrath [Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"]reaction

[@1970Phoenix]

LOVEBITES are the best "classic metal" band on the planet today. They are elite musicians.

[@BearcIaw13]

They are amazing, thanks for watching

[@kielanuar213]

Goosebumps. The worlds phenomenal metal band now. Thanks for reaction to them.

[@BearcIaw13]

My pleasure, thank for watching.

[@gham5586]

These ladies are next level, keep going, 60 plus songs to experience!!!!!🤘🐺🤘

[@BearcIaw13]

I'm working my way through them gladly. Thanks for watching

[@wildething7923]

Now you have been bitten it is your sworn duty to promote these ladies to whoever will listen to you. These ladies need all the help we can give them, because their label/management surely don't. This band should be a worldwide name by now, heaven knows they deserve it.

[@BearcIaw13]

They're amazing, thanks for watching

[@TheCyberMantis]

They have been stuck in Japan for far too long now. If that is their plan, then so be it. Wolfpack is global. They have lots of fans around the world. Hopefully in 2024, they will be able to play some shows outside of Japan.

[@ahodori-dl5hz]

This concert may be called a "legendary concert" in the future. When the concert ended and I saw the members embracing each other on stage, I couldn't help but shed a tear, knowing in some small way their three years of suffering.

[@BearcIaw13]

What I've seen, it's definitely amazing. Thanks for watching

Thank you for persisting and finding the songs to react to! After two years without any live performances, they clearly were ready to make a statement.

[@BearcIaw13]

It seems like an amazing concert. Thanks for watching

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

That bass player is only 21 years old. Her name is Fami and she has her own KZbin Channel where she posted some amazing stuff of covers she did on bass. This concert was her very first time on stage in front of a paying audience and as a member of Lovebites. She crushed it.

[@BearcIaw13]

She really is great. Thanks for watching.

[@user-hk9dt7qr3o]

Wolfpack here visiting your channel.

[@BearcIaw13]

Glad to have you. Thanks for watching

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

It was Fami‘s very first concert with the band 😊 She was 20 back in march (now 21) and obviously the happiest human on this planet for these 100 minutes. The other band members are aged between 33 and 35, Haruna the drummer a bit younger …

[@BearcIaw13]

She definitely showed she's a badass. Thanks for watching

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Midori turned 35 in May Miyako turned 33 in April Haruna will turn 27 in December (Not 100% certain the info I found on her birth year is accurate) Fami turned 21 in June Asami's birth year is unknown. I would guess she is about 32 now.

[@stand.and.deliver.5]

@@ChadTheDragonLord Then Haruna would have been just 15 when she joined Destrose …

[@davidtormaschy9988]

Fami, the bass player, joined in October 2023 as a 20 year old (maybe a month earlier, not sure though). She turned 21 the week before this show.

[@dregeye]

just fyi, show was March 11. Fami's 21st Birthday was June 1, 2023

[@davidtormaschy9988]

@@dregeye I read wrong then from some posts around concert time. My bad. Thanks for the correction. Then, even though its not much difference, being 20 and having her first big concert as she did, she was still awesome.

[@BearcIaw13]

She was amazing. Thanks for watching

[@dregeye]

Fami's final audition was in late August 2022. She was presented as 'official 5th Element' on October 21, 2022. New album was released on February 22, 2023. First "Resurrection" LIVE performance March 11, 2023, video & audio recorded, now presented as "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate" Blu-ray/DVD/CDs. Fami's August auditions, 3 songs, and "auditions documentary" are included in 'limited' "Judgement Day" CD bundle. 2 of the 3 audition songs were written by Miho, words & music (founder & former bassist/leader to international touring & recognition of "Best New Band" 2018, Metal Hammer Golden Gods of Metal Award).

[@BearcIaw13]

Thanks for watching and the info.

Knockin' @ Heaven's gate from March 11th of this year was Lovebites 1st Live performance since April 2021! This was the opening song of the concert - which is why Asami made an entrance from off-stage, and also explains their obvious JOY at being on stage again doing their 'thing'. Fami was 20yo and had Never played Live with Lovebites and had Never played in front of a crowd of more than a few dozen people. Throughout the show all of the members encouraged and supported her - that's just who they are as people. Glad you have been 'Lovebitten' - you are welcome in the Wolfpack (Lovebites fanbase) if you are willing.

LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn？ God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) SOLO: midori / mi-ya [miyako] What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath SOLO: mi-ya [miyako] ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao from Awakening From Abyss 2017

16 seconds (the note!) 🙂 One of the many, many reasons this band has taken possession of my listening and viewing time is what absolutely selfless and genuine people they are. This song features bass heavily…and is (following the instrumental intro “Awakening”) the first song of Lovebites first album. Letting Fami take the spotlight in the first song in her first concert is typical of how much being a member of Lovebites is like being a member of a family. She refers to the rest of the band as her big sisters, and they treat with all the affection that a little sister could want. When she’s playing the bass line, standing on the small platform (a Lovebites necessity that only she, being the tallest, doesn’t need) watch the grin spread across her face, and then spontaneously across singer Asami’s face as she catches her eye. Utterly genuine and really touching. Touching? In a metal band? Yes…get used to it.🙂

[@BearcIaw13]

It's a great moment. Thanks for watching

[@TheCyberMantis]

Time will tell! So far so good!

[@dregeye]

Thanks for more LOVEBITES. I realize you are a 'new channel' so I want to suggest that you resolve the 'hum' in the audio when you are talking and most importantly, retain the stereo-mix that LOVEBITES has insisted upon since signing with Victor. All raw tracks sent from Japan to Helsinki, Finland to be mixed & mastered by Mikko Karmila & Mika Jussila, respectively. All LIVE releases have the guitars panned to channel where the player stands on stage making their individual solos quite distinct and the duets (nearly every song, called "twin-solos" by Miyako) clearly being precisely performed in unison/harmony. Also, Haruna's drums are mixed to hear each drum & cymbal placed as if watching from directly in front of her stage setup. Her cymbal accents are uniquely supportive of guitar & vocal melody, 'pitched' china, splash & crash used in ways I have never heard previously. The beginning of "Holy War" is an excellent example for you to grasp what I am talking about. Dbl-kicks, the 'platform' the songs are built upon. Considering the pace at which they play, audio/video sync can reinforce or obscure the precision with which they perform these songs. Your reaction here is out-of-sync. Please review your upload before publishing. This will not only show respect to the artists you feature, but will show your viewers that you take your channel seriously in presenting bands as they intend to be heard & seen. I hope you have been hearing them in stereo in your headphones. Please put the effort into presenting LOVEBITES to your viewers/subscribers just as this band works hard to write, arrange, perform & record their music. Welcome to Wolf-Pack (or LoveBitten, if you prefer... ) 🐺

[@BearcIaw13]

Thanks for the comment, I do hear them with good audio. I'm working on the quality as much as I can but I'm working with a pretty primitive setup. I truly do apologize for the technical issues. If it's too much of a distraction for you, I 100%understand and appreciate you giving me a chance.

[@thedocofrock1890]

vocalist : asami - the one and only voice writes most of the lyrics and some songs blonde guitarist : midori tatematsu - the crazy shredder dark haired guitarist : miyako watanabe - the golden touch. main songwriter and pianist too drummer : haruna - the little big engine new bassist fami - please someone come up with a nickname for her previous bassist miho rosana - the natural born headbanger

[@gordonnottsfinest180]

I've been calling Fami The Ace on the Bass for months, a name fully deserved which I hope she'll get officially named by Asami 🤘🎹🎸🎤🥁🐺

In the other live from this show that was released around same time you see Asami with Fami and at one point Miyako has a rare moment of coming to that side of the stage to interact with Fami. Nameless Warrior/Live heavens gate kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2Vaqeff6iVhK8

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

"Hammer Of Wrath" was written by the original bassist Miho and she has this technique on fast bass lines where she kinda rolls her hammer ons instead of delivering crisp snap to that second note, if that makes any sense. It noticeable on the different ways she and Fami approach that 1st bass solo where Miho does that "roll hammer on" method and Fami slaps it. Its not a critique on either one, thet bith sound great, its just an observation.
