LOVEBITES - THUNDER VENGEANCE - Ryan Mear Reacts

[@RyanMear]

Yeah, the timing is off. That sucks. I spent a lot of time on this syncing up the music... and apparently what I saw in editing wasn't how it was saved. Not making that mistake again!

Yeah, computers are weird like that. Sometimes they have a mind of their own.

[@Glynthepin]

Having made a few videos for KZbin in the past, I know how tricky and time consuming it can be. When you add in Copyright blocks where you have to edit out parts of the music or mute it, making KZbin videos can be a toil.

Great reaction, this is how to open a concert. Don't sweat the small stuff, we all know what the song sounds like, it's your reaction that's important.

[@snakewhisperer1]

You're right. There's been a few times I've picked up the guitar, thrown on some Lovebites and said to myself: "Let me see if I can figure out what these ladies are doing". After a while it turns into: "I think I've bitten off more than I can chew".

[@ckiemnstr345]

Midori does lessons through ESP usually once a year, even in English, so you could learn from her if you get lucky enough to win a spot. Miyako also does private lessons but I don't think she does them in English though.

[@brandydynamite5877]

The power of those drums, it's almost hypnotic. Thunder indeed !! ⛈⛈

Even the smallest things, Miyako is a goddess on that guitar!

[@204pjfaherty]

There are so many great tracks from them yet to discover. They can give any established heavy rock or metal band a good run for their money with their live performances. Once again I enjoyed your reaction. A few months ago I had never even heard of them or Band-Maid or Nemophila, among so many other great Japanese rock bands. There is definitely something in the water over there. :)

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

I really enjoy your reactions because you are both knowledgeable and humorous and know how to mix the two. Awesome song by an awesome band. This was their show opener to their best concert of 2020 (just prior to the start of the pandemic). I hope they release a DVD of one of their latest concerts in 2021.

[@indra-qw1bz]

ya, just more like metallica 'ride the lightning'...but, the fact this one was wrote by miho (bassist) and inspired after she went to slayer concert

[@fredminier8547]

If there was ANY justice, she'd be considered one of the best drummers in Metal since the genre began. Or ANY genre.

Great reaction!...Miho wrote this after seeing Slayer live.

[@hiufernando7340]

Yes, that's the way to enjoy this song.. Get head banger! Great reaction. If you want some head bang song from Lovebites, try they song "Break the Wall" Thank you for make this video reaction. By the way, happy birthday to our queen singer Asami. We love you😍

It’s fun watching you have fun watching Lovebites. Beaming smiles on the band’s faces as always and on yours too. Great reaction to my favourite band…

[@gatograto]

and Miyako confessed in an interview that she was almost crying before the show began for excitement and joy, but the other members were already crying, so she didn't.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Hey Ryan! Great song to open the show! My hands are tired just watching all that fast picking from Miyako and Midori! Haruna relentless on the drums and what an awesome breakdown, so much power and energy! Fun fact: Both fantastic drummers Haruna (Lovebites) and Akane (Band Maid) are friends! 😀 For a different side of Lovebites than what you have seen so far try "Edge of the World" Live 2020. For more brutality try "Break the Wall" also Live 2020. Thanks! 🤘🤘

[@RyanMear]

That's cool that they know each other👍

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

That's not true. Akane are a good friend of Haruna in the band Scandal.

Fantastic start of a concert. Classic. Well done my beautiful and so very talented ladies!

[@jannashesgbcnemophilafan4317]

Thing is, like Band Maid, and Nemophila, these women are so musically talented. Yet they are so down to earth, friendly. Midori was at NAMM in Anaheim janurary 2020, and played in the Kemper area, as she used Kemper amps. She is so nice, approachable, freindly. Lovebites brings a grace, class to metal, and it is so incredible. The breakdowns. Try Break the wall, live. The breakdown is out of nowhere, with a Miyako solo. Empty Daydream is aweome song. Frozen Seranade is incredible, a breakdow with Flamenco guitar, and keyboards. This is the opening song of the show.

[@schelin1447]

Thunder Vengeance sounds epic? Well it is...as always with LOVEBITES! 😀

[@chrishunt3128]

Great musicians no doubt, I don’t want to say much more, great band. First few listens

[@TheCyberMantis]

Helluva way to open a show! After this song.... jackets come off, and the ass-kicking continues! \m/

[@hiawatha.g]

Right of the bat, you noticed how much is going on even with the opening guitar riffs. They, like Band-maid, never fall back on the easy stuff--they put in whole layers of complexity that only musicians or music nerds will ever notice. It isn't needed, but it makes them so much more rewarding to listen to.

[@ricdale7813]

Both guitarists are masters at alternate picking and insane fret hand legato. They are God level players.

[@ChuckJansenII]

Great reaction. You can't go wrong with most of the Japanese hard rock and heavy metal bands. They are absolutely fantastic. I tried being on a roll once. Then they buttered it and I slipped of. Keep up the great reviews. I promise there will be no more bad jokes, but I just had to roll with it, too. DOH! There's another one.

[@Glynthepin]

Always feel sorry for Haruna playing drums in the Sargent Pepper jacket. You can see for almost a second here and there, she struggles. It must of been of great relief that these jackets were only worn for the opening number for Haruna. Most likely for the rest of the Lovebites lady's. Your face says it all really, pure bliss.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

that was a great reaction. genuine and expertly. if you consider to react to them again :) : my suggestion is " a frozen serenade". a hidden gem, because no video. but one of their best, favourite one of many incl. me. groovy start, spanish guitars and a majestic guitar vortex at the finale. have a good day, ryan.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Guitar vortex is an excellent way of describing the ending! 🙂

[@funnyrailroadcrossing2767]

I'm enjoy watching your reaction video, great video. Maybe besides the power metal and thrash metal side, you should check out slower/ballad songs from Lovebites. Here are my recommendations: Empty Daydream, Epilogue, Edge Of The World Miyako plays the piano on the song I mentioned above.

[@saikisfang9339]

You might want to do "Break The Wall" from this show.

[@realdocloco]

Oh yes! The contrast between Midori's and Miyako's solo parts is mesmerizing! I tend to think Gary Moore is watching Miyako from wherever he rest and has a HUGE grin on his face

So the plus is the video was smooth the whole way and didn’t freeze or glitch. As far as the sync being a bit off, honestly didn’t bother me at all. I’m sure as you do these you’ll figure out how to dial it all in. And as far as the music goes, what can I say? Bad ass women make bad ass music.

[@RyanMear]

Sync is off because I had to cut the audio back in around my stupid comments lol. Looked good in the edit, then I watched the upload....ugh. the solution is DON'T FORGET TO CHECK WHICH OUTPUT IT'S BEING USED

[@joshi_new_wave]

@@RyanMear So you learned something lol. You’re new to this so don’t beat yourself up to much. I mean I still enjoyed it.

[@D-ragon-S]

No worries Ryan! Next time don't forget to tell your audience what you have seen by the group before you start. That makes us understand how far your journey has been with every group. Much Love

[@Hadesillo]

Maybe you've heard of them already, but the band that spearheaded all this wave of japanese metal female bands is Babymetal. I encourage you to check...let's see, Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 is pretty safe on Copyright. Check that one.

[@ChrisPage68]

Aldious, Destrose and others were doing it before the Babymetal concept was conceived.

[@RyanMear]

I've heard of them, sure, actually tried doing a video for them. Blocked. Edited it down. Blocked. I let YT take out the parts that were copyrighted...STILL blocked. So then I found a bunch of bands that APPRECIATE the exposure. They still don't let people like me make any money doing the reactions, but I'm trying to get people here to look at my original stuff and discover new music myself, not make money off them.

[@Hadesillo]

Yes well everywhere there is a little scene, I even found one little metal scene in Beijing once while living there, but the interest trend that enabled this wave of japanese metal bands at international level started there. And that's sad to hear Ryan, sadly they are very picky with copyright. Still, that Ijime, Dame, Zettai I recommended should be safe if you still want to try it some day.
