Never Heard Rock Like This Before! Band-Maid - "Hate?" ( Live Performance Reaction)

[@elliott8339]

Thanks for the reaction and comments. Will this performance go down in history as one of the greatest? I doubt it. I have confidence that these ladies will continue to evolve and outdo themselves like they have done repeatedly in the past. They never settle. And that's what makes them the best live rock band on the planet. Cheers!

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

The live performance of this band is really good ❤️❤️

[@pulp-tx6lq]

Great reaction. Band Maid are hard rock with elements of other genres, including punk, metal and rock. They are one of the best bands I have ever heard. Rock on 🤘

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I agree I also started enjoying them for real ❤️glad u enjoyed it too

It’s pure rock n roll. At it’s finest.

*BAND-MAID* dives into multiple genre but in a interview *BAND-MAID* said they are their own genre *Cool/Cute* ☺

Band Maid self describes as a hard rock band. Many of the fans, myself included, grew up with rock during the 60's, 70's, &80's. We agree, hard rock. Not metal. That said, they do the whole spectrum of rock. Softer, harder, emotional, acoustic.Check out their instrumental songs for more intense music. Onset, Don't Be Long, Without Holding Back, and From Now On.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

True its variants what they are giving us that why it’s unique ❤️❤️

[@sugaanessena3143]

This was #27 out of a 33 song setlist.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I will do more of them it’s really good band ❤️❤️

[@evilducks3710]

Guitar focus tracks? Instrumentals you’ll like: From Now On Without Holding Back Onset Do those 3. Their regular songs are going to have less guitar, but these songs you’ll probably enjoy: Domination (live) Play (live) Blooming (MV)

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I will keep them in mind for next reaction ❤️🙏

[@k3w1b3an5]

They have instrumentals as well where they just show off as musicians. From Now On, Onset Live, and Without Holding Back.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

U mean they just play instruments that would be great to listen to ❤️❤️

ALL Lovebites songs have killer guitar solos at the highest level of talent. Please check them out.

Lovebites is another group right ?

[@lurkmerchant]

​@@ToxicCouple-Alg-UaYes, and Lovebites does it their own, different way. Band-Maid sound is distinctive no matter what style they play.

[@bruceveary1758]

Lemmy often emphasized that Motorhead was an extremely loud, fast-playing ROCK band, not a METAL band (although historians have often asserted otherwise). Band Maid has never referred to themselves as a metal band; they have -- on occasion -- referred to themselves as a hard rock band (or, more often, let others refer to them that way). When they came onto the rock scene in Japan in 2013-2014, Show-Ya (and several other lesser-known bands) had already done the initial "paving" for all-female hard rock and metal bands in Japan, and legit metal bands -- like Mary's Blood and Aldious -- were starting to make their reputations. What to do with Band Maid? Promoters, publicists and advertisers decided to "ride the wave" and market them as another up-and-coming all-female metal band (Band Maid was never a party to this ploy). Band Maid integrates elements from many genres (including metal) -- often within one song -- and has several neo-metal and neo-punk numbers. They are hard to categorize; if you need a handle -- with loose applicability -- "hard rock" is as good as any. If they called themselves "metal", there might be some basis for criticism, but they don't and they never have...they can't help how others refer to them. They are what they say that they are, and they are exceptionally good at it.

[@modelsfan]

Band-Maid is the best hard rock band. another all female Japanese band is Lovebites best heavy metal band

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I don’t know about the heavy metal but they give us great music

[@greylocke100]

The Ladies refer to themselves as Hard Rock, although they incorporate multiple genres including metal in their sound. With Band-Maid, you will hear Pop, Pop-Punk, Punk, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Classical, Southern Rock, Classic Rock, Grunge, Latin, and many other types of music. All of them melded together into a sound that is uniquely Band-Maid. And no worries about your phone camera. Use what you have, I and others would ask that in the future you consider upgrading your equipment so you can put out better videos. But that is your choice. And Kanami the lead guitarist/primary composer, has a sort of dual personality. Normally she is this shy demure young woman, very quiet and polite. But, put a guitar in her hands and she transforms into the monster you see on stage in this video. We call it her going "Full Mincho". And you can't go wrong with any Band-Maid song. You don't even need to have a MV for it. They do offer most of their discography on their channel under the releases tab sorted into individual playlists. So you can choose to just listen/watch a song that is just the song with a photo, and we would still come to hear your thoughts on it.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I like the band I will do the reaction cuz I enjoyed their music ❤️❤️

[@Kevin6059]

One of the things that you might be picking up on when you say it's not hard like Metallica is the guitar tone. Earlier songs had a fatter bigger guitar song, but she's been using a gizmo that cuts out the lower midrange of the guitar, on purpose so you can hear the bass and other guitar better.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

You're a weird guy but thanks for checking out our Maids😅

Everyone here weird so NO WORRIES. Who know we might get along pretty good later ( at least because of Band-Maid - we met even not in person, so it’s something😂🤣😏

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

Now please react to LOVEBITES another all female band from Japan. However, unlike Band-Maid, Lovebites sings in English and plays heavy metal, all at the same level of musicianship as Band-Maid. Start with their song Judgement Day live.

[@ToxicCouple-Alg-Ua]

I’m not into heavy metal at all but I will give it try if I like or not ❤️

[@lurkmerchant]

Band-Maid play Band-Maid no matter what it is. That said, Lovebites have some tracks that don't necessarily sound heavy, thrash, speed or symphonic metal. Try swan song from daughters of the dawn live. Now they have a new bassist (more versatile according to a Lovebites fan) their sound may change a bit. What I can't stand is the lead vocalist's voice. She has undeniable amazing voice, a bit like Floor Jansen that I also can't stand.

@@lurkmerchant i will listen to it i will tag u on it befor i post it ❤❤❤❤

[@charcolew]

If you like Maneskin and now Band-Maid, the logical connection is to check out the Korean all-female band Rolling Quartz and their cover of Maneskin's Zitti e Buoni*. They even do it in Italian - I'll let you be the judge - and, like Band-Maid, they are outstanding musicians and performers. Is there no end to the talent of these Oriental ladies who have rejuvenated and refreshed rock music? After 60 years of everything from the Beatles to the present day, I have discovered the rock sound I like best. "kzbin.info/www/bejne/inecY62cZpeBd80

They play all sort of rock or rock subgenre or whatever they want. Some are heavier, some are even softer, some sound a bit more like metal. You'll find out down the road anyway.
