Non-Metalhead Gets CHILLS! BABYMETAL x Electric Callboy - RATATATA Reaction

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Why is everyone so completely wrong on this? Babymetal and Electric Callboy are not from different universes, theyre friggin *_Room mates._* They Occupie almost the exact same space in music, very heavy metal mixed with pop , rap and electronics. The only real difference is that one are men growling and the other is girls singing clean. If you removed the voice track, alot of their songs sound very similar. This is probably one of THE most fitting and appropriate co-labs ever, to be perfectly honest.

[@Bunny_Aoife]

i was so confused by that take as well, not sure how they would be in "different universes".

[@nybblelynx]

Momo-Metal doesn’t just sing clean. Some of harsh vocals in this song isn’t Kevin, it’s Momo.

Electric Callboy did a Reaction to Reactions video and said the collab was a total 50/50 split, so both bands had equal influence.

[@Icipher353]

This collaboration actually started with Babymetal trying to make a song in the style of Electric Callboy, but it wasn't working, so they decided to ask EC to work with them on it. They met for the first time last November in Boston when Babymetal attended EC's show on their day off. They met backstage and started talking about a collab and this awesome song is the result. The demos went back and forth between EC and Babymetal about 20 times before they were all happy with it, and it wasn't finalized until the day of the video shoot. They've played it live together a few times both in Japan and in Europe and it has gone off every time. It's also been charting extremely well all over the world.

[@Ultra_Fine_Point]

WOW!! Didn't know that story. Thanks!

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

I sense the "elitist" is still there somewhere deep down. 😂 Brutally honest opinion? I don't over analyze it. If it's fun and catchy, I'm gonna love it. If it's not, then I move on to the next song. This one was fun. Period. It's on repeat. EC and BM are two sides of the same coin. The coin is metal at the core but with two different facets of fun pop/dance fusion. Heads or tails, either way you win. Now go listen to Headbanger.

[@GenTzu]

I'm the same with people trying to determine what genre and if it's really metal. I don't care. There are only two genres for me, 1) I enjoy it and replay or 2) not interested. He's had issues with Babymetal in the past, he's not over it.

[@Grington300]

Good reaction ... you clearly haven't heard nearly enough BABYMETAL (especially the young lady). First time I heard this it was great, it works better because of the BABYMETAL parts (but all songs work better with BABYMETAL involved). If it was straight crash-bang all the way through it wouldn't merit repeated listenings, you need to slow or quieten it down so the 'RATATATA' makes even more of an impact ... it improves the song's dynamics many times over. This is a straight 50-50 collaboration. BABYMETAL were wanting to make a song in the Electric Callboy style, like 'We Got The Moves', that people could dance along to, but they felt something was missing. Both bands were playing in Boston, BABYMETAL had a day off and went to see Electric Callboy meeting them back stage and chatting before the show (and then staying to watch and enjoy the whole thing, which pleased Electric Callboy when they looked up to where they were sitting and seeing them there jamming out and having a great time) So BABYMETAL asked EC if they wanted to get involved ... and this was the result. A song in the EC style but with BABYMETAL's full involvement that people can sing and dance along with. There is an official live video from FOX_FEST in Tokyo, arranged, hosted and headlined by BABYMETAL. EC and Polyphia as well as Bilmuri and Metalverse supported by Asterism were all playing both days. During BABYMETAL's sets Nico and Kevin from EC joined them to perform this song together. Tim Henson and Scott LePage from Polyphia also joined BABYMETAL to perform 'Brand New Day' from BABYMETAL's 2019 album Metal Galaxy together for the first time as well ... another official live video was posted for that. EC and BABYMETAL have performed 'RATATATA' live together (in both their sets, so 6 times) at festivals in Germany and Spain as well as playing it in their own concerts and at festivals where the other band was not there.

[@Greydt]

Yeah, the guy's criticism that the Babymetal part was low energy was mind boggling. Since I saw the Pixies in concert recently, I'll use them as the prime example that the "Loud-Quiet-Loud" arrangement says otherwise to the whole low energy nonsense. Totally agree the "quiet" parts only adds more power to the "loud" parts. Would not have listened to this song as much as a I have if it was just pure screaming throughout the whole thing. It was also amusing the guy said that the song wouldn't work if the Kami band was playing...which the official Live Fox Fest version of the song utterly debunks. If anything, the live Kami band version hits even harder and is even more energetic (which is a given with the additional crowd energy). Wish that version of the song would also be released on the music streaming services. Looking forward to seeing Babymetal in concert for the first time later in the year, and hope to see Electric Callboy someday (missed out since they were recently in my area, and I only heard about them due to this song and now a fan)

Felt and tried to express the same feeling. One big reason this song is so damn catchy is the incredible contrasts in the sound. If this were just a straight unbroken screamfest all the way through...well lets just say it wouldn't be the delightful marvel that it is. Thank god we got this version!

Nothing is more "metal" than three tiny Japanese ladies showing vanilla metalheads screaming nonsense how to pull off amazing live performances in front of thousands of possibly hostile crowd who don't understand a thing you're saying.. for over a decade now (!!!).

[@TheSniatch]

Interesting you say that these bands are really different :D I've been a fan of both of these bands for some time now and both bands do sometimes silly and fun songs and sometimes serious good songs, Both Bands love to experiment with the genre and push some boundries. I've waited for this collab for some time now and glad it finally happened :D Best collab ever.

[@Killermcknight]

It was honestly spectacular

[@TheHomelessDreamer]

"Gatekeeping " has been more a feature than a bug in Heavy Metal fandom since at least when I first became a headbanger in the early 80's. Thankfully, I outgrew this and saw that it wasn't so much people not liking a band because it "wasn't really Metal" as much as defining it as not Metal because they didn't like it. Too see people this day and age STILL engaged in Gatekeeping is a bit frustrating, but mostly I pity them, because it's their own doors they are closing. As for me, Headbanger for life, If it makes me bang my head, it's good enough for me. Babymetal.. hell yes... also, if you ever see me banging my head to the Beastie Boys' Sabotage... don't interrupt me to tell me they aren't Metal...

[@kennethbartlett4302]

You are right. Frustrating yes but the feeling of knowing they are not giving it a chance and missing out sometimes is pity. If I am moving I don't give two craps about what it is.

I'm surprised you heard the beat start about 3 seconds and declared a totally EC song ! Live the bit you did not like works so well, and the Kami band playing this it sounds great as well, maybe a bit heavier . Performed during both band's sets at some European festivals the girls on EC set and Nico and Kevin on BM and audience are loving it . Great 50 50 collaboration 😁 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

[@robote7679]

With 14,000,000 views in a month I think a lot of people love this. I had chills from the instant it started and still do-god knows how many views later- now. What you saw as an "energy drop" on the Japanese Karaoke section I personally loved. The contrast in levels and the like is one of the things Babymetal and Electric Callboy have brought to metal. Without that contrast I think you're kind of back in old world metal. Kevin and Nico have commented that this is a pure 50/50 collab. Kobametal brought the ladies to an EC show in Boston MA. They loved it. Afterwards they all met up backstage and the ultimate end product is this video. Both bands have now performed this onstage together at multiple festivals and it's always a crowd favorite. One of the things that comes across live is how much affection the two bands have for each other. And I think that comes across in the music. I love as much as anything getting to see Babymetal let their hair down-so to speak-and just have a great, silly time making this. FYI: the official live at FoxFest video of this gives a hint of how well it played for the first time in front of 20K fans.

[@SnowmanTF2]

Plus EC basically commonly does what he calls 'energy drop' in their songs, it is actually pretty good technique to add variation in pace within the songs. Which can highlight how intense other sections are, keep more peoples attention due to relatively frequent stylistic shifts within a song, but on practical level also help play longer concerts by part of band getting small breaks while there is a lighter vocal solo going on.

[@AliceDamnation]

I saw them live at a Festival in Spain, the awesome Resurrection Fest, where they played it twice, and it was freaking awesome both times. The first one was BABYMETAL featuring EC and I decided to record that one... never had a video with so many views in such a short time! It's really incredible how addictive this song is! And Electric Callboy were incredible! In both cases, the audience play a super important role, and I love iberian audiences!

[@ruckustata5334]

"they came to me at a time I was looking for new music" is exactly how I found BABYMETAL. Looking back to the time I found BABYMETAL, I was going through some internal issues which I've never shared with anyone. The algorithm brought them to my line of sight and it was just so uplifting and completely changed my musical landscape and helped me past my mental hurdles. The first time I heard this song, I wasn't completely sold. It was so different from their earlier collaboration with F. Hero and Bodyslam, which I greatly enjoyed. The second time I heard RATATA, I really enjoyed it. The third time, I was hooked. Unlike you, the part that I really enjoyed in my first watch was the section you didn't like so much. I just liked that they were being less serious and having a lot of fun, while hanging out. It was definitely a change in tempo, but that's very much in line with both EC and BM musical style. Great reaction btw. Subscribed!

[@mitchellhodgemeyer7306]

I'm always surprised when people think this collaboration is strange and/or unexpected - I disagree that these two bands exist in different universes - they have much more in common than not when you really examine what each band does. From the very beginning of the announcement that there was a collaboration I thought that they would perfectly complement each other and, as you can see, this is totally the case. I also disagree that the energy falls off in this song at any point - it merely alternates periods of less aggressive parts with the more melodic portions. Electric Callboy does this on some of their tracks too, on their Tekkno release for example. This song is a perfect collab, and a perfect track for summer and for beach adjacent clubs. As for the title RATATATA, this also makes perfect sense if you recognize that this is an actual term used in music and in other areas. I'm guessing the meaning in this case is referring to the term's use in the musical world to refer to specific musical features in a song, such as rapid-fire drum riffs, explosive song features, or guitar note hits.

Before I listen the first time to this song, I was concerned that they would go in a direction which I would not like, like Fckboi, great song, but I am really not into Pop punk.

I had my doubt about some details of the collaboration, but the sing itself I thought was great.

This song introduced me to electric callboy, I've been a baby metal fan for a while now. Now I'm a fan of both. But this song is played 2 or 3 times daily since its release, mainly because it is my 1 year old favorite song, and she will ask for "boom.boom.boom" bc she can't say ratatatata.

If you see comments talking about how cool was one of the singers turning around at the end, that's a reference to a video reaction they did last week. But the one who really looks cool are oc the ladies striking a pose near the end which is also the pose they used when performing live right from the beginning.💃 Last weekend of May they played this song at FOX_FEST Festival in Japan along with Electric Callboy, everyone went bonkers with this awesome collab of the year and hit of this summer. They also released the official live if you don't wanna stop and keep pushing it to the limit. They also played together once again at Rock Im Park in Germany twice, one during EC show and the other one during BM show wearing cool new outfits. After that they played again at Rock Am Ring and we already got cool proshot clips. A week ago they finished the Europe Tour and once again with both groups playing this song twice at Resurrection Fest in Spain making everyone going wild. Polyphia were also at FOX_FEST playing a set and the guitarists Tim Henson and Scott Le Page played together with BM the song Brand New Day, they're special guest in the album version, they were looking for this since a very long time ago and also fans waited for this. We already got an official live MV released recently if you wanna check that out.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

It’s basic song construction. They established Electric Callboy, brought in Babymetal, dropped the energy a little for Su’s verse, and raised the energy again by bringing EC back in. The pace keeps going for the verse, but they had to clear out EC because that verse demanded clarity.

[@i.shuuya3231]

@@jhorse6968 He later explained what he meant by that and it's literally what I said... His thought process is not hard to discern: heavy music is usually perceived as more lively/passionate/energetic. The verse he didn't like leaned more into electronic elements and less metal, therefore "less energetic" (in his own words). He even explains that in other verses the instrumentation behind Su-metal's vocals got quite heavy and gave him goosebumps. Do people even bother trying to understand others' opinions anymore?

Actually the song was originally done by Babymetal in the stile of BC but it needed he real thing. But I say the end product it’s 50 /50.

The thing I HATE about metal elitists is that they don't understand the first thing about metal, no matter how much they profess to being a "metal-head." It's all about expanding horizons, and going against the grain. As someone that has seen BABYMETAL twice (and also seen probably 50+ metal bands, from Metallica to every band big or small), they EASILY rocked the hardest. TWICE. Electric Callboy might be the closest to that or then some easily (just haven't had the pleasure yet) but NO...the energy certainly doesn't fall off during their segment.

My thought when I first saw this is Babymetal could earn a living guesting on others songs adding a big chorus. The song is a straight out 50/50 collab, neither group dominates. And I think the drop off in energy in the second verse is intentional, to give the audience a moment to breathe and process what is going on. I disagree with you, I think it's quite smart.

It's not bad I've listened to the song a few more times since this reaction but the intro and lead up to the chorus was epic so much so we played it twice but that verse was like a train derailed for me lol idk and turns out the rest of the song had a lot of waves in it between heavy and soft so it is what it is.

14:37 I found the song through WWE as they are using it for an event later this month in Germany. Never heard of either band, but on the first listen I had the very same opinion that you did on the Babymetal verse. That's nothing against them, I don't usually listen to songs if I don't know what they're saying, but I think it will definitely grow on you like it has for me. At this point, I am completely fine with it and I hope that they collab more in the future. Now that I've found them, I'm going to explore more of their discography. I'm an avid rock and synthpop listener, so to find a new genre in electronicore that sort of blends them together is truly wonderful to know that it exists.

[@Ultra_Fine_Point]

Hi, Steven! Hi, Queen! Nice to meet y'all! BABYMETAL has been my favorite band for about 12~ish years now! We are Kitsune, Children of Inari! Have fun tumbling down the Foxhole.

[@stanleymyrick4068]

This is a little poppy for Babymetal. Babymetal has a diverse catalogue so it depends on what song you compare it to, but in general this is a lighter side of them. Sounded good.

[@Killermcknight]

I would agree I couldn't compare it to anything off of the other one Album maybe papaya or gimme chocolate comes to mind quickly but like I said this song is a classic EC sound. I dig it

[@celt0203]

Its was a babymetal song, see interview Rock am Ring, but EC have their parts also, so perfect colab..

[@fiachramacaodha1260]

The moment you see them in the mirror ball helmets you know they are either German or Dutch.

[@miaherridge8587]

I recommend you reacting to Henry Moodie his music is amazing

[@TICUofficial]

The part you didn't like is the highlight for me. :D

[@Killermcknight]

That's awesome! I didn't hate it but I had my reservations just because it was such an awesome liftoff into the chorus! It's a great song glad you love it!

[@SuperCybertiger]

"they are from different universes" says only someone who never listened to babymetal. Their big international break through was a party metal song (Pa Pa Ya).

[@andrewleeper4270]

How about that turn from Kevin in the end....like James Bond

[@Mike-xh8fl]

Hmm, not sure about the "quiet bit" being an issue - EC songs all tend to have three sections, slow clean vocals with Nico, insane hardcore screamo and riffs with Kevin then somewhere in between with all of them.

[@Killermcknight]

It’s not an issue. He just prefers heavy metal, and the heavier the better. So when that “quieter bit” happened, it just made the song lost a little momentum for him. Nothing wrong with it, just different taste and preferences.

[@noturavgjoe29]

You should check out Brand New Day by Babymetal feat. Tim and Scott from Polyphia. Another amazing collab!

[@nilosantos-f7n]

did you hear momo metal growl in part "are you ready"'

[@thissailorja]

LETS GO!!! 😁

[@AxeSwipe2011]

EVERYBODY!!! WE'RE OUT OF CONTROL!

[@thesurfaceofthemoon250]

Babymetal has been doing a lot of collaborations actually. You might find "The End" (Lil Uzi Vert + Babymetal), "Kingslayer" (Bring Me The Horizon + Babymetal), or even "Oh! Majinai" (Babymetal + Joakim Broden of Sabaton) interesting if you haven't heard them before. First time viewer, enjoyed your video :)

[@Oblivion_94]

React to "Leave it all behind" by F Hero, Bodyslam, and Babymetal.

[@aburguesiafede3912]

Have a nice week 🇧🇷😘🧒🏼👦🇺🇲

[@Killermcknight]

You too! ♥️

[@achimluersen7220]

Hi from Germany. I liked your reaction very much! 👍

[@Killermcknight]

Thank you! 😃

[@vivaldiadit2949]

if you from 90 era, this beat music something like deby gibson type. This beat just bring us back to 90😊

[@gisohatt59]

Babymetal - sis anger deserves a reaction too……

[@ksbrst2010]

With this opinion the way to Babymetal is ridiculous hard. And in the song Babymetal gave Electric Callboy some free hand, but in Reality Babymetal had more .material for this song. Something like Karaoke doesn't exist in Germany, but this an essential part of the japanese Scene. So they had to take more control of the song. And as even Nico remarked just hours after the release of this video. The Song had already broken the best placement of every Electric Callboy or Babymetal Song ever. And they already knew fro. Their Stage tryouts that this song worked on Stage.

[@ksbrst2010]

Bothbparties confirmrd zhst this is a 50 /50 Collab. To be precisr in the Breakdown Momo abd Kevin shared the growls.

[@clowdyneo6361]

Hi killermc please react. Jollibee. Comercial. Title. Is Choice🙏 thanks

[@gunternine1130]

The part with just baby metal is more like a reverse drop... It was like starting on the Autobahn, getting off, and then jumping onto a Japanese Bullet Train... and never letting go of that gas pedal.

[@timwoods603]

Loved the video guys!

[@Killermcknight]

So glad to hear that!

[@kc28kenneth]

An Electric Callboy fan doesn't like the pop part just because someone else does it in this song. I sense some bias. 😉 Loved it the first time, especially the part you didn't like (it's what makes it special). Liking and subscribing.

[@larrywelchko6136]

The part you could have done without shows BabyMetal out of their normal element and doing something more adlib and kinda along with the Electric Callboy guys. Looks to me like they are having a blast making this video. But like your partner said, to each his own.

[@Killermcknight]

Absolutely! I think overall the song was great, and they had a lot of fun, you can tell.

[@Its419games]

I showed this to my boss (who's from Germany, originally). Her response (and I still haven't had a chance to ask her to clarify) was, _"'RATATATA'?_ Yeah, that's definitely a German song title." 😂😂😂

[@macsnobia]

So you hated the intro because it was too soft? A roller coaster ride is more fun with ups and downs. Plus you liked the bridge that was soft. Contradiction?

[@Killermcknight]

He didn’t hate the intro. He prefers heavier music, so that one very short part just lost some momentum for him. I think it was likely the timing of it. Not a contradiction.

[@Lightmane]

I just wanna know if RATATATA is just the Pokemon, RATATA, with an extra TA 😏🐀

[@Killermcknight]

😂

[@ChrisK312]

My daughter aked me where this ladies are from. I told her from japan, that is far in the east. Now she said she would wish to be also japanes because she wants to be beautiful as they are and my heart is breaking

[@Killermcknight]

Sorry that's happening to you

Best colab of Germany and Japan since 2 World war😂😂😂

[@Killermcknight]

🤣🤣

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

Well, with over thousand people probably writing comments I don`t know if you`ll even read that but - I`d recommend Velja with "Rigor Mortis", an Ukrainian band and Seas on the Moon with "Sanctuary" or "Bad Omen" from Moldova featuring Lena Scissorhands actually from Infected Rain. Won`t regret it! 😁🤘

[@korrynford1237]

I highly recommend momobanger by BabyMetal it’s a live version and it’s wonderful!!!!!

[@andraback2014]

New genre "cute screamo" 😂😂😂

[@RealStang]

It's a little funny that the part where babymetal seems slow to you, and would "benefit" if it was completely removed, yet when everything cut out and it was basically only singing. Nope, fine, all good.... hmmmmmmmm I do sense some hypocritical elements in the commentary. (reading through the comments I am validated in this statement) But, besides that. THIS SONG is legit the collab of the year, and in all its glory, it's AMAZING. Babymetal and Electric Callboy is the collab we never knew we needed. 10/10 song

[@Killermcknight]

It’s not hypocritical, it’s the placement and timing of it that he didn’t like.

[@atjeparian3283]

Kitsune up ⬆⬆⬆🤘🤘🤘

[@Dennis-DK2]

Its "Chicken Skin" or “Goose Bumps”, you can´t just force a colab and mix it 🤣

[@Killermcknight]

Hey… this collab worked well… why not mine?! 🤣

[@MarkSpohn77]

Please check out the live version of this song at Babymetal Foxfest with Electric Callboy

[@hiawatha.g]

Songs without any variation in pace or intensity can get boring. I guess 99% of music is wasted on you.

[@Killermcknight]

People have different tastes in music. Thats the beauty of it. If everyone liked the same thing, everything would be the same and that would be boring. He prefers heavier music, so that one very short part just lost some momentum for him. That doesn’t mean music is wasted on him. He just has a different taste.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@Killermcknight I love heavy music. I also love jazz, opera, and classical. That's not "liking the same thing". I love Chopin, some of my friends prefer Mozart. Either way, having an open mind makes your world a richer place.

[@Killermcknight]

Sure. But you don’t HAVE to listen to different genres of music. You choose to. He PREFERS heavy metal. If he didn’t have an open mind, he wouldn’t have started doing reaction channels and listening to all this different kinds of music over a year ago. Prior to this, he was only listening to metal and only doing metal reactions. So his mind is open. But he can still have his preferences.

[@hiawatha.g]

@@Killermcknight I simply pointed out that a song with no dynamic variation can get boring. The little interlude by Babymetal adds so much the humor and also provides a contrast that makes the heavy parts even more dramatic. That's part of smart songwriting. I think you got it. But whatever. Glad you guys are experimenting.

[@DragonPhlyy]

She would prob live some of their softer songs like Life or Odyssee!
