Musicians react to hearing BABYMETAL for the first time!

[@jimnusbaum3589]

Babymetal has huge circle pits at every show. And wall of death is common, in fact required, in Road of Resistance.

[@RaXXha]

@Honk Honkler Yea, the crowd in Copenhagen was more or less completely uninterested when they did their set, it totaly killed the mood. And on top of that the sound mix was a bit off, couldn't really hear the singing clearly, and they completely lost sound mid through one of the songs. 😕

[@allegorical]

@@RaXXha ​ I think it would be silly to expect Sabaton crowds to react like Babymetal crowds do.

[@RaXXha]

@@allegorical Sure, that wasn't my expectation, but the crowd being completely dead is silly too. You can cheer a band on even if you haven't heard them before, thats just manners! 😁

BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) LIVE at Budokan kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6woJaGbp6EobM

[@Grington300]

Excellent first reaction and analysis - welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊I'm glad you saw through the shock factor of this song. It wouldn't have been my recommendation for a first listen as the main reason this video does have so many views is that shock factor with the brutal metal instrumentals and overly sweet JPop vocals clashing - deliberately so in this song, but it is great fun at live shows. They have about 60 songs now, each one different to the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre (thrash, nu-metal, djent, black and death metal, Prog, folk, power/speed etc) and they will mix or blend in so many other musical styles and genres with the metal - not just JPop, you will find Latin, Bollywood, reggae, ska, EDM, trance, Finnish polka ... actually you name it they have probably done it. Yes they have choreo for every song - and it is bespoke for every song serving two real purposes (unlike the choreo you may associate with most pop acts). 1) It is interpretive of the lyrics or the meaning of the song - which is helpful for those of us who do not speak Japanese. 2) It is designed to involve and lead the crowd. Their crowd control is second to none and the crowd get their cues from the girls, they jump when the girls jump, pump their fists, shout, sing along etc when they get the signal from the girls. The instrumentalists (they were not in this video) for all live shows are the Kami Band, some of Japan's very best session musicians. They first appeared in October 2012 and were gradually phased in over the next year or more playing at a couple of festivals and the encores in some concerts (including the one in December 2013 where the Gimme Chocolate video was filmed - they were not on stage yet in this one, the guys in skeleton suits - Babybones - were miming the instrumentals to a pre-recorded backing track and they were just there for show, BABYMETAL didn't always have the budget for live musicians. The vocals were live in the live performance of course). There have been many musicians play with the Kami band - they all have their own bands and projects and there are musicians who will swap in and out depending on their availability. They have had the same hard core of about half a dozen musicians play the vast majority of concerts since they became the full time support for all live shows in March 2014 - they are; Guitarists (2 for each show) - Mikio Fujioka (RIP January 2018), Takayoshi Ohmura, Leda Cygnus and ISAO. Bass - BOH Drums - Hideki Aoyama Since 2019, for the lengthy tours of the US and Europe, the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) have supported BABYMETAL. They are guitarists Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio, bassist Clint Tustin and drummer Anthony Barone. BABYMETAL was formed around the vocal talents and stage presence of the lead vocalist Su-metal ... she was still only 12 in 2010 and she was already exceptionally talented - she has just got better every year since and is a great front person. Moametal and Yuimetal were only 11 when they formed. Sadly Yui left in October 2018 for health reasons after a 12 month absence. Su and Moa continued as a duo for nearly 5 years, supported by one of three dancers at live shows, until the 1st April this year when the last remaining dancer of the three, Momoko, was named as the official new third member and she was finally given a mic. If you can get tickets for the BabyKlok tour do not hesitate - BABYMETAL are one of the very best live acts you will see. For another reaction I would suggest their very first major event outside of Japan, the last song of the 5 they played as virtual unknowns with 50-60k UK metalheads to impress - 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' (Bullying, No More, For Ever) live at Sonisphere 2014. You will hear at the end as they walk off stage what the crowd thought of them.

There is a running gag in the 1st Jurassic Park movie ".. spared no expense", That is the secret of Babymetal. High production values, 1st class session musicians, a top rated choreographer and the 3 young women, especially Su-metal the lead singer.

[@tsunami-lightwave9395]

Actually, in the beginning they had only a shoestring budget and even had costumes that were recycled from other groups. It was an experiment by a man with a vision (Koba-metal) that happened to hit it big. The big budget came later, but only after a ton of hard work and dedication by the girls.

Great first reaction! 🤘🦊🤘Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance!!! BABYMETAL started back in 2010 and since then have performed with, toured with, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. They are the first Japanese band to perform at Wembley arena in the UK. Also, 20+ awards have been given to them. They have 60+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too.🤘🦊🤘

[@autohmae]

Thanks for this reaction, we know some people will never like Babymetal, most of us are prepared to not get understanding on the first reaction/viewing. But on average 3 songs/videos for those who end up liking it will get an understanding of it and like it. Babymetal, especially early years that fit the age of the girls, has a very playful interpretation of what metal music/genre is, but also very well executed on that idea. With some electronics thrown in for good measure. And as you said: they deliver it live. They were doing their first world tour at age 15 and 16. And this is part of why big artists who had seen them perform at festivals got to respect them (their is a quality to everything Babymetal does). Sabaton has opened for Babymetal in Japan and are touring in Europe: Sabaton tour, Babymetal special guest, opening band: Lordi

Babymetal got me back into listening to metal and music in general. They are the best thing to happen to metal in 30+ years. Every metal show should be like this. Fast, heavy guitars, wild solos, insane drumming, catchy choruses and harmonies and lots of choreography. We don't need 5 guys standing around looking down for 2 hours any more.

This song hit as a shock value more than what to indicate what's Babymetal has in store. It's chaotic and fun especially in live performance.

This is from the Legend of 1997 concert in 2013. Su, singer is 16; Yui and Moa are 14 yo. That is not a band behind them, it's a dance troupe called baby bones. So your hearing a backing track. Later in the concert they are backed by their tour band, the Kami Band. "Gimme Chocolate" is both their WTF song and their breakout song, internationally. They have been touring the world since 2014, generally to sell-outs. 2 Suggestions: "Headbanger" Legend of 1997 from this concert. Newer - "Monochrome" Live, & "Monochrome" piano ver. Same song, performed very differently

[@BoognishQC]

There are many great metal bands out of Japan but Babymetal are the GOAT. Not necessarily my personal favorite but these girls' dedication and work ethic are absolutely amazing. This performance was the celebration of the lead singers 16th birthday and the other girls were 14. You absolutely must see Road of Resistance, Live in Japan.

[@RaginKavu]

Well... Welcome to the Foxhole! Great reaction! I would've written about them, but some others have done it better than I could. But one thing I can add is that "Zukiyun" and "Dokiyun" are onomatopoeias. Meaning "poisonous" and "me like it" for lack of better translation. Which fits perfectly the theme of wanting chocolate after a hard day's work, but worrying about gaining weight. Btw, this video isn't live. They're using tracks. BM started small, and though they were successful, in the beginning they didn't have money enough to pay the musicians for a full concert! So every time you see people playing in skeleton costumes, it's from that very early stage. Your next reaction ought to be of "Road of Resistance" the "Live in Japan" version. That is the quintessential Babymetal live experience, with a live band, playing the whole concert. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

[@jeremyboynowski3784]

Nice reaction guys. I gotta say. You're screwed lol If you're hooked this early from THIS song, then you're going to REALLY like Babymetal. This song is probably their most polarizing song. This song is probably their most JPoppy song. Most of their other songs are more metal. As other's have said, I'd recommend Headbanger or Road of Resistance. If you'd actually like to see more of the band do a solo, then I'd recommend Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of gods intro. That song will just have the main vocalist singing to give the 2 dancers/backup vocalists a small break. Babymetal has a ton of good music for you to discover and every song will probably by able to surprise you as they love to experiment and their experiments always seem to turn out well. Also, you'll find that the main vocalist, Su-Metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) is very good at projecting emotion through her singing, so you'll get everything from super happy, which you just witnessed, to super sad, which has caused many people to have tears running down their eyes. She doesn't do angry though. Babymetal doesn't believe in violence, and would rather cure people of anger instead of projecting it. All in all good first reaction!

[@road-runner]

Great reaction, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL. So glad you enjoyed this particular song since it seems to be a little polarizing for a first exposure to BABYMETAL because it's "just" a fun song about the girls wanting to eat chocolate but being a little worried about gaining some weight... BUT it also has very metal instrumentals and that juxtaposition is totally the point of the song. And yes you are very well informed about the fact they are so diverse musically and there are no two songs which sound the same. About vocals, BABYMETAL was formed around Su-metal's (Suzuka Nakamoto) surprisingly powerful vocals and her unique stage presence. And "Gimme Chocolate" doesn't actually showcase her skills. They are still performing this one live (which I can confirm is a blast) and she even imitates her younger self. 😁 If you enjoy power/speed metal, they have several great ones: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", "Road of Resistance", "Arkadia", "Amore"... So, here is my suggestion for today: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCQkJaYm8mlj6c Until next time!

These girls been grinding for 13 years and are still going strong. They had bad times by losing one of their guitarists in an accident (RIP Fujioka-sensei) and even having one of the original members, Yuimetal, leave due to undisclosed health issues. But now,they have a new third member, Momoko. Their live videos and shows are always a treat because they are intricately choreographed down to a T. As some people would put it, Babymetal is more than just a live band. It's a live experience.

If you intend to continue, I'd suggest getting live shows, and try to go in some sort of chronological order for their work - Su-Metal (the lead singer) is a powerhouse from the start, she grows over time into a one of a kind talent as a singer and leader. It's worth experiencing. The band is all outstanding, Su-Metal is a legendary talent. Look forward to more! I'd suggest "Legend 1997 live (headbanger, then others)", you won't regret it. Also, virtually every song they perform is different across styles / genres - no matter what you choose you will not go wrong, and you will almost always be surprised.

Choco is wayyyyyyy down the line of intro songs for Babymetal for metal fans. This video is not live and the band is miming. Later that show the Kami Band came out and the miming “Babybones” was retired. There is not much of the kawaii left in their newest album it is way more adult. NOTE: I would 100% start with their earlier work and move forward and grow with the band as you go. The best starting spot is the song Ijime Dame Zettai from Sonisphere in the UK in 2014. It was their real introduction to metal festivals outside Japan. Note that show is considered by fans AND Su-metal (lead singer) as the most important in their history. At the show they were only 16/15/15 years old. Plus you can see the Kami Band in action. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCQkJaYm8mlj6c

This is one of their more polarizing songs, so if you can handle this, you're basically in the clear. But this is only the beginning, since this was actually studio audio. Live is where the real fun is at. A great next stop would be "Headbanger" from the "Legend 1997" show. I'm looking forward to your next reaction!

It just HAD to be Gimme Chocolate ( I was praying it wasn't 🤣)....not the best intro to a band - I like it now but I'd not have wanted it to be my first exposure to a band that revived my interest in music after maybe 15 yrs. Great reaction - and pits really are a thing at their concerts - do look up more - this banding is amazing and every track is very different - as you noted - set up for live ideally (although some of their videos are amazing). This particular concert is one of my favourites - and I've got maybe 25 of them now

More Babymetal please.

Husband and I went to that show (Orlando 2023). Their set was too short! It was a fun time.

They are awesome live. I lived in Orlando for 20 years but live in Boca Raton the past 8 years. I already have my ticket for the Sept 2 show in Orlando. I hate the venue they are playing because its outdoors and near Crime Hills. But I will be there. Hope to see you there.

Gimme Chocolate:- Old school Thrash Metal. Combinations of Metallica "Fight Fire With Fire" and Slayer "Raining Blood". Heaviest, Brutal song about Chocolate. React to the song on late night show with Stephen Colbert. Old school metalheads can appreciate the metal, younger audience can appreciate the J Pop with a very catchy chorus.

if you like speed metal, check out "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan". Fast and hard, and the lead singer has total control over a crowd of 20,000. Or try "Rondo of Nightmare, with Mischiefs of Metal Gods" (at Budocan). It starts with an into to the musicians, and then just the lead singer singing

[@ziomalxxz]

next -> babymetal headbanger
