Did you notice that the bass outro that Misa played was a tribute to the outro that Ale plays in Survive, by The Warning?

@@ohTHATaaronbrown my reply was to suggest a band that JF should look at, but wound up in this comment reply. I agree with you about the shred vs. song aspect.

[@renemonroy214]

The interesting thing to me is the back and forward of the whole bands and few notice it because it worked so well. For instance, when Dany played her small solo part you can clearly hear only Ale's bass and Pau's drum with Miku always accompanying with both bands. The made it work so fluid that you have to pay a lot of attention while knowing the members sounds and styles. To me was a good collaboration that didn’t try to get crazy but effective.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@renemonroy214 I agree. I've listened to the song a few times now and it's grown more on me. I was too harsh on the solo 😆🤘🧸

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

completely agree. there's actually a crazy amount of back and forth going on here, but it flies under the radar because they do it so smoothly. the thing that really stood out to me was just how much restraint *all of them* showed here, in service of the overall song. any of them could've gone ballistic at any point, but none of them did because (i suspect) they wanted it to be a "together" song.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@ohTHATaaronbrown you're right as well. It works for what they wanted it to be. Solid collaboration. I hope it performs well for both bands 🤘🧸

Btw -- I was just thinking: Band-Maid and The Warning, two very different bands, found something that would bring them together -- music! If only the people of the world could find something that would bring them together. I know... if peace and prosperity isn't enough, how about uniting for the very survival of our species! 🤔

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

I think you're off base. They were celebrating each other, not competing. I was in Tokyo for the show. There were no egis involved at all. If you had seen it live, it would make more sense to you. The love and resiect they have for each other was demontrated throughout. I was in tears bybthevend. As a matter of fact, i understand that Misa cried when saying goodbye to Ale. The bands met at a music festival here in the States after being long-time fans of each other. The video of if them meeting is quite touching because they were so excited. Thats when they had the idea of doing a collaboration. Notice, they use the word, "with," and not "featuring."

[@conrad98gtp]

Listening to the song, you wouldn't think, without seeing the video in the solo sections that they were trading off or trying to battle. The solo sections were written with a cohesive flow, more to serve the song rather than show off, which they totally could have, but that wasn't the statement they were trying to make. If this ever hits the radio, it'll be because of this type of version. If they were to just blow solo's, it wouldn't happen. Although, I would dig it. Maybe in the future....

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@conrad98gtp I totally get that. Like you mentioned, the song overall is very cohesive and structured perfectly. Another 10 seconds wouldn't have killed their hopes for it being more of a "single" but hey, a guy can dream right? 😆🤘🧸

[@topographic1973ify]

You're the third reactor I've seen that's had this sort of reaction to the video but the whole point of it was to do something together, not get into some kind of big battle with each other. The bands themselves seem to really like and appreciate each other and they were trying to blend together, not sound like two totally different bands. They have two totally different types of approaches and I think the fact they could do this as a cohesive unit was sort of amazing.

[@JohnnyFoxtrotshow]

@topographic1973ify that really is remarkable. I few people have had similar comments and I agree with them all. As a collective unit it does work and works really well.

I think you need to take a hard look at logistics and watch the video of both bands getting together to perform this song. It's not like they had weeks to put this together and it would be extremely difficult to do this in the first place. They both had concert dates before and after this. So time was working against them....And tell me any other 2 bands that are doing this....there is no one....Baby Metal doesn't count. My hats off to the girls pulling this off extremely well !!!!

I didn't mean to give off the intention that I still didn't find this to be extremely remarkable. Like you mentioned, what was made is unlike anything else out there.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Look at it as them having fun - they don't do "battles" but "conversations" where they're handing over to the next person to, literally, "have a play". Even B-M's "Hate/" and "Don't You Tell Me" are trade-offs, rather than "battles" 😎👍 Think "complimentary" rather than "conflict".

[@spaceknave]

Just a couple Rush connections to The Warning would be that in one of their earliest interviews, (they were very young!) Pau told the interviewer that she wanted to be like Neil Peart, the drummer of Rush. I think even non-Rush fans will concede that Neil as a drummer is indisputably in the elite category. He passed away from brain cancer a number of years ago. Ironically, when Pau visited the offices of Modern Drummer Magazine to accept her “up and coming rock drummer of 2023” award, on the site they have Neil’s extensive drum kit and Pau was allowed to goof around playing it. I know she considered it a complete honor.

Great reaction and liked the honest opinion. I really liked the song. The more I hear it, the more I like it. I think it was a great collaboration as personally, I didn't feel it was a typical Band-Maid song. And it was not a The Warning song either. I agree, I would have liked a little more. An extra 2 bars of solo from each member would have been really nice. Both bands have outstanding musicianship and letting each player shine just a little bit longer would have done it for me too. Doesn't mean they can't do extended solos in a Live setting though.🤔 Keep on Rocking Johnny Foxtrot! 🤘😆🤘

Johnny... You've been sleeping on... Rush? Oh, son. We have SO MUCH work to do... I liken The Warning to a modern version of Rush. Suggestions to start you out with Rush: Spirit of the Radio (a top-5 ALL TIME song for me), Limelight (The Warning's Hell You Call a Dream is the modern comparable), Trees (for the lyrical beauty and message about inequality), Red Barchetta (for the feeling of driving a car), and Tom Sawyer are the very essential songs to get you into Rush. We can chat further when you've started your exploration. No need to apologize, but thanks for the shout out--missed it on first watch, probably because I was picking my jaw up off the floor.

Pau is going to kick Akane off her drum kit? And Putin is being beset upon by Ukranian terrorists. These are not two bands in a face-off. They are legitimate friends doing their best for themselves and each other; real friends -- as opposed to people who are acquaintances, but farcically call each other friends -- don't try to bury each other (at least not in public). Although The Warning was in Japan almost two weeks, these two exceptional bands had only a very few days to pull this whole thing together in the middle of a touring schedule -- I think that both bands did a helluva job!

No hate here, from me, but I'm a mellow 🍑guy. I like both bands although I lean hard-core Maidiac. Being a hard-core Maidiac doesn't mean I can't enjoy other bands or artist and their music. But hey, that's just me. That's the beauty of all the arts, your opinion is your opinion and you definitely have the right to it. Friendly advice though, as there are some who may take offense and have the opposite view, especially to a statement like your first sentence, is to follow @zolitoth2458's advice. IMHO, a simple "IMO..." or "Personally I feel..." would make your first sentence still your opinion, yet take away the feeling it's a finite statement. It's all in the delivery. Right now, it can easily be read as you are telling everyone that "Dany's riff in that little solo is much more satisfying...", where a hard-core Maidiac may disagree. Resulting at some sort challenging/negative return of their own. I believe that's why @JohnnyFoxtrotShow made his remark about "you might get some hate...". Sadly, I've seen a few of these flare up and it really doesn't do anyone any good. To be honest, I would be ashamed if the ladies of either band saw some of those back and forth mud slinging between their fanbases. We should be happy and supportive for the bands.
