Never before have i seen a reactor get the guitarists names so seamlessly wrong with such style.😁👍

[@saikisfang9339]

As you know, sometimes Band-Maid live can cause a state of euphoria and sometimes a little confusion (in a good way). Just look what it did to the camera people at Lollapalooza. 🙂

[@johnmatthew102]

Wait, what? You didn't see MISA bouncing about the stage and then whip out that great guitar solo?

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@johnmatthew102 Haha. I did, damned confusing how she got that tone :)

In my humble opinion, the bridge solo section alone is worth the price of admission. It’s one of my all time favorite pieces of music. Ever.

[@polskabob359]

Miku on trampoline is probably the funniest fuckin thing I've heard in god knows how long , trampoline po!

[@RA57727]

Let us review: Miku - wears the red rose, rhythm guitar, and backing vocals Kanami - no flower, extraordinaire lead guitarist Misa - Bassist; has a bottle of JB Whiskey on top of her Orange Amp Akane - drummer always is smiling while drumming and creating wicked fills Saiki - blue flower, lead vocalist also plays piano These wonderful ladies are Band-Maid

[@Phattydumpz]

Love the reaction super hype love that you're loving it. School: Saiki: Main vocalist. Look and listen what else do you need? Miku: Founder. Back up guitarist and backup vocalist. Main Lyric writer and Pigeon. Personality personified. Kanami: Lead guitar shredder and (generally) main song writer. Probably a genius, but sort of insane. Misa: Silent assassin on the Bass (she's not silent at all) Beast mode all day. Akane: Aka Gorilla. Absolute savage on the drums. She needs to chill honestly (not really)

[@BillHallisey]

MISA, the Barefoot Assassin, does the bass. Miku (wearing the red rose on her head) is the rhythm guitar, and Kanami, the "Wonderful Little Genius" is the lead guitarist. Akane, the "Gorilla", is of course killing the drums.

[@BillHallisey]

"Moratorium" isa a song that just about every Maidiac loves. Hard rocking and Kanami's fretwork is awesome.

[@pak40l46]

When this video was originally posted 6 years ago it had over 4 million views before it got pulled.

Onset is an instrumental that features solos that will make you into a Maidiac.

[@phaeron]

For me, it's still one of the strongest weapons in their arsenal, offering pretty much everything you could wish for. 🔥🤘🏻 As for the names, I'll just say thank you! They may not completely match their faces yet, but let's be honest, most don't even bother to memorize their names at all. So hats off for that alone! 🙏🏻👍🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊

[@JazzFatcho]

This live was in 2018.

[@Kevin6059]

Yes, that is the crowd singing - but there's a backing track too because you know there are always those people that can't sing their way out of a paper bag (er, maybe that's not the best metaphor.) The crowd at one of their "one-man" shows is the loudest crowd I've experienced in my gazillion concerts over many decades.

There's no captions on this because this has never been officially released! It's been ripped from a DVD. And yeah, one of the best songs they ever wrote - in 2017! I hope they release an official version of it one day!

AWESOME REACTION! Check out the songs FREEDOM & DOMINATION (Official Live Video's) both have awesome drum solo's. Also BAND-MAID is releasing their new LP this summer and are performing next week in Japan with another all female rock band "THE WARNING". Check out their song EVOLVE live from the 2023 MTV VMA's. They are power trio from Mexico. As a long time rocker these are now my two favorite bands.

[@GeographRick]

You know it's good when Kanami makes you have the stank face. yes, that add those non language crowd sing alongs to some of their songs. So they can do them in Japan, but also fans overseas can also participate. When they came to the US, I was lucky enough to go to four of their shows. It's the most fun band I have ever seen live.

[@uffdad8211]

Great reaction and review, although the names got scrambled you are starting the learn the names of these great musicians. To repeat again, the always energetic Miku is the one with the red rose in her hair on rhythm guitar, Kanami is the brilliant lead guitarist, Misa dressed in black is the barefoot assassin on Bass, Akani the gorilla is on drums and Saiki with the Blue flower is the great vocalist. Maybe have your darling kids hold up cue cards to help you out. You will get it right sooner or later. Cheers.

[@jeremydawkins8814]

Easy way to remember red rose rhythm Miku,Blue rose Saiki, MISA Barefoot all in black, Kanami lead MINCHO shredder. And obviously AKANE monster gorilla drummer.

[@k3w1b3an5]

Just so you know this is not from the official Band-Maid page, its uploaded by a fan page which is why the views are only 11k. There likely is a Moratorium version on the official page but probably not as good as this. And yes most fans will agree with you that Moratorium is one of thebest Band-Maid songs. "Is that the crowd singing along ? I don't know but I've seen them live twice and the crowd sings that part.

[@RazorC-Shuman]

I'll skip the name corrections since I see others have already done that, this is one of the classic Band-Maid songs from their first Break-out album( imho) Their writing style and overall sound shifted in this one and was their best album at the time (Just bring it 2017), Also Saiki's voice differnce pre-surgery on her vocal chords is so lovely. Miku's improved guitar playing skills starting to really show up in this album, which is much better than mine for real / 🤭 / but I haven't played since 1998 i guess i never really did. Nice Rob Zombie shirt - my first concert ever was white zombie in 1995.

[@waynebenedict5785]

"Moratorium" is a top favorite of a large percentage of Maidiac's!

[@Greg-om2hb]

At this point, KANAMINCHO’s outfit is still similar to KOBATO’s. It’s easy to get them confused on a stage where the lighting director thinks the musicians should be playing in the dark. Yes, KOBATO says, “Make up your mind.” There are no subtitles because this video is a bootleg rip from the concert Blu-ray. Turn your mic down a bit.

[@stevekane4922]

You're allowed to get so stoked by this that you even forget your own name, let alone theirs. 😂

[@ShikataGaNai100]

They are the best live rock band on the planet...maybe ever.

[@polskabob359]

Secret my lips dude

[@BRO-HI808]

Yes, that is the crowd. It's like this at all Okyu-ji's. ("servings", live concerts). Heck I'm singing on live online streams, although no one can hear, or at least I don't think anyone heard...😆 It appears in the older live recorded shows, they must have had directional mics to pick up the crowd singing. In the 10th Anniversary shows, it seems the crowd is not being recorded in the same manner. Or if they are picking up from the Mics on stage, they are pushing it way down in the mix. I'm torn on how I feel about that. We get to hear the Maid more clearly, but at the same time the energy of the crowd singing along is "missing" for me. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘 As for the names...no worries, you're still new to the Maids. Not going to give you 💩. Keep on rocking with the Maids...catch ya on your next reaction.

[@billb.5183]

He seemed so confident with their names. 🤣 Well, at least the names he was using are actually in BAND-MAID. I've seen reactions where MISA gets called "Koga" and Kanami gets called "Saki" the whole video. 🤣

There’s some great reactions out there but few that make me laugh as much as this! Laughing with you, good sir, not at you. Your enthusiasm and love of The Maids prevents any criticism about getting the band members all mixed up. I think you realized it but just kept going with no apologies. That’s how to do it!

[@k3w1b3an5]

This was 2018. The easiest way to tell how old a Band-Maid performance is is by how long Kanami's maid outfit is. 2019 and before = above the knee. 2023 and after= around the ankles.

[@zer0tzer0]

This isn't a new song. It's not their Official Channel. It's on the Instrumental Maid channel. Not sure why since it's not an instrumental. The Zepp Tokyo LIVE and Studio Coast was taken off of KZbin ahead of a DVD release, and can not only be see on the Chinese site Bilibili. This is Classic Maids and it's good to see some of this making it's way back onto KZbin. Some of these songs have been redone, but these are the definitive versions. But you are all over the place. That was Kanami, not Miku. Miku plays Rhythm. And Kanami isn't The Barefoot Assassin, MISA is. MISA is on Bass, not Kanami. Wrong, Wrong and Wrong again! And you with an Asian wife & daughters too. Don't worry. We'll get you sorted out, eventually.

[@johnstroup3868]

It would be stupid to be offended by someone getting some of the names wrong on my current favorite band, but it did give me a bit of a head turn whenever you pointed out something one of them did. Plenty of people giving you the run down on band names, so you'll catch up. ( I remember trying to get the names of the Beatles straight in the late sixties.) It took me several listens to figure out "Make up your mind.", and you got it on the first try. Nice job. How Saiki keeps the rhythm straight on the verses is beyond me, but a testament to her (and their) musicianship. Among my favorite Kanami solos, too. This song remains one of my top five favorite songs of theirs, along with about 15 others.

[@Twistedshredder-HOG]

Thanks for the kind words! Life is really busy and hard to remember everything all the time. Ive got it down now. Funny thing is, the band maid reaction i did before this one i got all their names right, just got thrown off because Kanami usually doesnt hop on the microphone like she did in the start of this one lol.
