Opening and end credits by Paz and Hedgy (me)

[@ManekiNeko1972]

Lovebites rips out melodies, beats, harmonies and rhythms harder than 90% of bands ever to exist.

[@SpiderWeb984]

Haruna(Dr) is a big Helloween fan💕 So LOVEBITES have covered their "Eagle fly free" on stage since 2017🎵 and also Halestorm "Love bites" & Motorhead "Overkill"🔥……No sleep☺

[@mmcpa]

My favorite band ever

[@kamraifatin2165]

OMG😲😲😲...Unbelievable...!!!... They're mesmerizing ladies.❤️❤️❤️

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

really looking forward to this album. metal goddesses, and yes, their ability to put out content regularly is a main point with me. I have all 4 of their released albums already, and now here's another. ALL since 2017...amazing. Reminds me of Doro Pesch, I appreciate someone who KEEPS WORKING and feeding my metal beast..

[@CaptainSokrates]

It was me that originally recommended Shadowmaker (although I remember only being referred to as "the guy that recommend this"). You're welcome! Love this song and will certainly be getting the album when it comes out. I tend to agree with Paz about the last album. I just wish they'd done a video for Break The Wall from the Ep.

[@PNW]

You just didn't get the respect you deserved

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Sees that Hedgy & Paz are doing Lovebites. Drops everything. Excellent video lads !

[@allenhuling598]

Yep, already a fan (due to your channel), and yes, loved it! These ladies play so fast, and yet clean and melodic! Rhythm section is awesome, and neither the bass player or drummer get enough credit...but hey, they're all great! Nice start to a Friday morning...cheers!

[@stevefromlondon4949]

I really like Clockwork Immortality - I actually prefer it to Awakening from Abyss. Maybe because it was the first one I bought (plus the special edition comes with the fantastic Battle in the East blu-ray). The Daughters of the Dawn blu-ray is also brilliant. Band-Maid are my favourites but Lovebites are right behind them.

[@thedocofrock1890]

yeah same here- the maids for hard rock and lovebites for your power metal fix.just can't lose.i'm a 66 year old bassist and the usa has never seen the likes of these girl groups.i'm praying lovebites does a u.s. tour.3 years in and they haven't yet-please !

[@michaelafrancis1361]

Oh and one thing.... you say the dsrummer doesn't get any credit and to some extent you're right but how about a shout out also for Miho, the bassist. Hardly anybody has anything to say about her but she is not only a a terrific bass player but also the band leader and the driving force behind Lovebites.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Miho and Haruna just do a phenomenal job at driving this song and Midori, Miyako and Asami do a phenomenal job filling it out and making it soar! What a perfect blend of talent! How often does this happen? Love these ladies. Thank you for reacting to this video!

[@CharlesEMurphy]

Absolutey brilliant. I usually edge away from power metal but I'm totally sold! Happy Anniversary! 🍻🎉

[@keolaq8748]

These solos kill me

[@野良犬撮影隊二大隊四]

ソロがいいよね～。。

[@onetymebigtyme]

Thank goodness, been waiting for a reaction, and i think this is the First time reaction, maybe, for this Song.

[@thedocofrock1890]

man i can never get enough lovebites-best female power metal group ever-loved drummer haruna yosai way back with miho the bassist from destrose-she beats those skins so hard they could take out a restraining order against her! top class band and gorgeous as well

[@Jmaveryk]

One of the best power metal groups for sure.

[@paulread4886]

yeah what you said about the drummer is right. Another drummer to watch is Akane in Band Maid controlled chaos down to a tee, Dice and Blooming are 2 goodies, and live Domination 2020 shows there individual skils too

[@maximushaughton2404]

The drummer suffers with what a lot of drummers and bassists suffer with. When they are really good at what they do you don't notice them, despite being the driving force of any band, they allow the others to shine, most of the time you only really notice them when they are not so good. Admittly you do notice them if the others are not as good as them. Another is Ogawa, the bassist from Unlucky Morpheus, he is really good, but the 5 others just make it seem as if he's not there. It comes to something when to be really good at what you do, is to make people not notice you.

[@jimmyzhu1741]

At least Ogawa got a solo finally! Agree with you about being overshadowed though.

[@maximushaughton2404]

@@jimmyzhu1741 He's got 3 solos Knights of Sword, Spartan Army and he does one live as well, then Jinya joins in playing the same bass at the same time.

[@damjan611]

Pro tip: If You want to be near Miyako, locate keyboards and position yourself near them! Guarantee success! 😉 By the way, good reaction.

[@acexxvii6778]

Great Reaction/Review guys!! Can't go wrong with Lovebites. They have a very different sound to other J-Metal bands out there. Haruna on the drums killing it as always! There is so much going on in this song, Listen again and you pick up little bits and riffs here and there. This song is off the planet greatness! This is the 2nd song i have heard from the upcoming album. So Hyped for there 3rd album in Late January. Do hope for an album review in the future if possible :)

[@rockingoutdudetoo5275]

Yes the song reminds me of ride the sky from Helloween when the section "carry on" part that flows exactly the same but faster riffs.

[@manutdrule91]

a great reaction guys. I have been a fan since their 1st ep The Lovebites ep (demo ep) in 2017 and they have been on fire and I have been to every UK show except for Download Festival this year and I went to the Dragonforce show in London and they are so awesome and great to talk to on social media as well and they even know who I am. Anyway, their music is great and I cannot wait to hear their new album soon and seeing them live again too

[@ramair3judge]

Finally get to see this video again. They posted it when it originally came out and like two days later it was blocked in the USA. Lovebites is probably the best thing to come out of Destrose. However, Mardelas is right up there with Marinas' vocals. Her band is also top quality.

[@paul_laws]

Raise Some Hell is out now on Spotify. Looks like the new album will be MEGA!

[@SpiderWeb984]

Thank you❗"Raise some hell" has got a good vibe to it🎵That reminds me of 80's NWOBHM as Girlschool & Motorhead💕

[@pal_ajah]

I like this song,thats awesome,thanks

[@fernandooliveira4037]

Yes...yes.. This band is 80% helloween power metal... Thank you for confirm that... They are the female version of Helloween for me... Fantastic this girl's

[@DrDeth06660]

You ought to re upload your very first video so we can all see it, that would be great!!

[@keithvincent4]

Lovebites top band.

[@leeca98]

I like the fact they are embracing English bands with their music. Asami’s accent is still hard to understand at times. When reading subtitles everything she says seems pretty clear though. 🤦‍♂️

[@justpanda7478]

They were brilliant on the dragonforce tour, I attended the london show are the absolutely smashed it.

[@ant.awx_]

you must react to Dewa Budjana - Hyang Giri, he is a legendary guitarist from Indonesia, and in his solo album Mahandini he also collaborate with great musicians.

[@xdivinematrix9291]

Have you listed to scar symmetry? If not you should do a react to one of their songs!

[@grandehap7979]

Uouuuu, metal metal metal, yesssss.

[@markblaauw4961]

Not my favourite subgenre, but this is really well played and very tight. Especially the drummer's is getting my credits. The voice of the lady is not my kind of thing allthough I've got to say she's got an amazing range.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Time to do Lovebites again since they just hired a new bass player and released a new album. React to Judgement Day MV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs

[@Buzzramjet]

I was looking for the original review you did on SHADOWMAKER because it was one of the first times anyone said "Recommended by Buzzramjet" and I was kind of REALLY? But all I could find was the repost. because I had mentioned there was about a 20 to 30 second break that was part ad and part way to keep it from being ripped. I wasn't into subscribing at that time as I thought it was just youtubes way to send you ads(sorry about that) and I was especially impressed you looked past the costumes of VERSAILLES when reviewing their song REVENANT CHOIR and saw it for what it was which is a killer progressive heavy metal piece with outstanding musicianship etc.Others seem to have been unable to get the costumes out of the way of their review. ANYWAY just thought I'd mention it when you wondered who had recommended and I am pretty sure it was me. Thank you and keep up the great reviews

[@PNW]

Cheers buzz.

[@pajmic666]

And Haruna is best lady that has ever sit behind a drum kit IMO. She just blastin.

[@beepbeep4287]

there are many talented Japanese female drummers. Aruto ex-Aldous, Kai ex-Bridear. When Haruna was in Destrose i was impressed with Headless Goddess and Hakai no Bara. I knew she can go harder and faster.

[@stevefromlondon4949]

Haruna's awesome. So's Akane from Band-Maid.

[@damjan611]

@@beepbeep4287 Agree, but you are forgeting another stellar ex-Destrose (and Disqualia) drummer RISA☆RISA, her tempo changes are simply briliant.

[@DavidKAnderson]

Definitely one of the very best ever in the rock realm...I love what Haruna's doing. My favorite powermetal drummer on the planet these days. I'd probably give the "best lady drummer" title to another Japanese drummer, though. Fusion jazz drummer Senri Kawaguchi is in the conversation for "best drummer in the world, any genre, any gender." A legitimate generational talent...

[@evilvolts]

or you could be like Deep Purple and make sure you have an album or 2 in every decade since the 60's ]:P

[@justgeo4288]

I hate to be that guy. I HATE to be that guy. But I'm sure you remember me by this point, the Minecraft and Kamelot guy. And I just gotta request another thing (that hopefully is available in my country *cough*Kamelot*cough*). Floor Jansen/Hank Poort from Beste Zangers. Take your pick, either one works and any song works, but the last Floor video we got was Ghost Love Score (and not even the Wacken version) over a year ago and Paz wasn't in that video. I really wanna see what you guys think of not just their performance, but the backing band's performance, especially in a format that isn't "WAAAAAHHHH FLOOR IS AMAZING WAAAA(insert clickbait face here)HHHHH." Mr Rock N Roll did a ton of videos of the entire series, and you don't want the guy you shared a podcast with to outdo you, do you? Anyways, keep up the great work, I may not always comment but I'm watching your videos and still waiting for that Minecraft vid. Seriously Hedgy, I wanna watch you punch trees. Get to the hole digging.

[@PNW]

We should do a video called. 'One simple trick to see seven things you didn't know about Floor' with a thumbnail showing Paz and I looking like we've been electrocuted, fire in the background and a photo of Floor with a tiny detail circled in red. Then spend 8 minutes almost but not quite telling you something so we can maximise the advertising revenue. Then again maybe we shouldn't because we have some integrity. 😁

[@timcuster4807]

their first album was so amazing and memorable but everything after that has been a letdown. they also would be so much better if she sang in japanese or she has to work on her english so we can understand her

[@jimmyzhu1741]

Check out their EP version of Bravehearted. It's the only song that's performed in Japanese because it was written for a previous band that a few of them left. Probably the best song in terms of overall sound in my opinion. I tend to agree with you a bit though I wouldn't exactly say that everything after their first album is a letdown.

[@pajmic666]

I love everything about this one but English lyrics. I don't understand word she singing, i would probably understand her better if she sing in Japanese and i my level of Japanese is super low. Japanese bands should not to write English lyrics in order to be more accessible to west audience.

[@Deilwynna]

depends on who is writing the lyrics and who is singing, yoshiki's english lyrics arent too bad when he doesnt write full songs in english such as the song "jade" he wrote for x japan, while on songs like "tears", "endless rain" and "forever love"

[@peterkarargiris4110]

I agree. Bands from non English speaking countries should not feel pressured to sing in English. Their fans are mature enough to enjoy the music even if they can't understand all the lyrics.

[@timgove5337]

Thanks for the morning surprise gents! I’d heard the song, but not seen the vid, warrior getup & all. Btw, do I have to tell you Team Midori is where it’s at?! Miyako and Yui are great. Midori and Moa rule. Lovebites have said explicitly tho, their mission to play European style metal means to them: write in English. Accent makes it tough, but I understand as much as of UDO. And from the USA, I can’t name a band that sings in german. It’s what it takes to be higher in international/British charts than on their home charts. And reading the lyrics, they aren’t that bad. When written by the singer you get Rising, and songs like this one( (“Carry On, this is us, Carry On”), her spoken English is functional but not quite fluent. But the metal themes: MDO, Break The Wall, Hammer of Wrath, Apocalypse, are by the bass player who is just moving from speaking single words to “broken English” territory, but she’s getting the right help, and clearly knows and loves the metal/thrash tropes. The mission is their own, not marketing dept’s (similar to BabyMetal, who barely bothered with English), accepting that mission, i don’t feel it was forced. And it’s hard for me to gig the next town, I can’t imagine me targeting Australia making any business sense; but it (UK) is just where the peeps are that share their passions, so that’s where they work. Cheers! 🤘🎸😎 PS, not the best interview, but held in English; these are literally the lyricists writing those English lyrics. Kudos to their dedication and success! Miho bass, and Asami vocals. And note that Miho really loves her metal! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYm9h4ONa6aekMU PPS I just found out that Miyako, who towers over the rest of the band, is only 5’2”. By my calculations, that make the five of them only 24feet. That’s some highly concentrated talent!

[@peterkarargiris4110]

@@timgove5337 What do you mean by 'gig the next town?' Are you their tour manager ? And why not Australia? We need some love (bites) too.

[@timgove5337]

Peter Karargiris I mean my own personal experience. It’s not easy to do a gig, nor deal with jet lag, but to be expected to be world class when all of your days are jet lagged. But they’re not forced to do it, that’s how invested they are in doing European style music, that they commute to England 3-4 times/year, never mind committed to covering that in the budget!

[@pombdap]

As a Japanese I'm sick of this style, because here in Japan it's like 95% of local oldschool bands play melodic power metal, while they barely have made major export.
