METALHEAD ENVIES| BAND-MAID| "ONSET"

#band-maid #metalhead #musician #reaction

[@nem447]

The lead guitarist is all about the melody and the solo fitting the song, mostly short but sweet, leaving you wanting more. As for the rhythm section, they're one of the best out there at the moment.

[@glenmartinez5158]

Grew up with the beginning of rock in the 50's & everything since & band-maid is my favorite band today. MISA & akane are my favorite rhythm section EVER! Kanami doesnt need long solos, she riffs throughout a whole song but wouldnt hurt my feelings if she shred a bit more. Love her playing & writing.

[@Slippy6582]

If you wanna see an CRAZY solo from Kanami (lead-guitar) you should watch Blooming MV... It is one of her longest and most crazy solos in an song...

[@rustygear447]

Turn Me On has long solo too. Kanami alone is about 30sec but it starts with Misa and end with Akane. the whole solo section is about 45 sec. I think that's the longest not including their live stuff. Unfair Game also has a long guitar solo.

[@bkeith1853]

I agree with the other comment, Freedom live song for drum solo and Don’t You Tell Me Live for an epic battle between Misa on base and Kanami lead guitarist. I can’t wait to see these musical geniuses play in Seattle 10/12/22. Most of their shows for 2022 sold out as soon as tickets were available.

[@claymore2of9]

misa has a great talent to stash her pick in her hand and can change style back and forth as much as she wants pick, slap, taping to pluck and back again. if you want a kanami solo kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGqvomdsdrd5rtU intro to Moratorium as she writes the songs she doesnt give herself long solos as she says it would be too imposing, her solos are always just the right length not to take over a song same as misa's there tasteful

[@TehPhysics]

MIII-SSSAAA!!! MIII-SSSAAA!!! MIII-SSSAAA!!! 🍺 MISA and Akane are the best rhythm section in music today. At least, I think they are. And it's more than just phenomenal talent at their respective instruments. It's deeper than that. They are best friends, have been for years. They are pefrectly in tune with one another. They are just on another level. Akane!!! Akane!!! Akane!!! 🍌

[@RTEcalcite01]

Band-Maid is a blessing, so I'm happy with how ever long they play for. Genius.

[@frankgonzalez4853]

you're right not a crazy solo but it fits the structure of the song. this seem IMHO more a song than an instrumental

[@lordmusashi6976]

when you see Kanami's guitar solo in Blooming you will be amazed, this girl is very talented, Band-Maid is one of the best bands of the last 30 years.

[@tommcfall1274]

50 years

[@gradyshmalady8284]

Best rhythm section in any band on the planet IMO!!!! Akane and MISA just kill it every time!

[@madsstavang]

Kanami usually doesn't do long solos, but she sometimes lets herself lose. Her absolute longest solo is in the song Unfair Game, around 30 seconds. One of my favorite solos for sure. One hell of a song, such a cool vibe, almost Tool like. No good live recording of it and no MV, but it is a top tier song. Definitely one of my favorites.

[@lordmusashi6976]

Kanami's guitar solo in Blooming is one of the best I've ever seen, it's fantastic.

[@haggaisimon7748]

Same to me, love Unfair Game. But my favourite solo would be in Anemone, the second Kanami bluesy solo. Then Unfair Game, then Daydreaming.

[@madsstavang]

@@haggaisimon7748 oh, I really like that bluesy solo in Anemone. I wish she would do more of those. So much feel! Daydreaming is just fantastic too. And Blooming and and 😄

[@danjoseph7515]

Onset is another BAND-MAID Masterpiece! It does leave you wanting more, but you will notice that is a theme throughout all of their music, you always want more!! 🤘🤩🤘

[@lakenneth374]

Band-Maid formed 2013 and "Onset" concert was 2018...Red Rose Miku, Sept. 14, 2017 interview: At the Band forming nobody in our band had done "Hard Rock" so we had started without knowing anything - we have grown greatly musically as a Band.

[@JK-tz6kk]

Misa tucks her triangle pick between her index finger and palm when she slaps. As a Bass player, I tried it then commence to throw the bass out the window in frustration. I'm a civilian now, Po! Great reaction, Sir!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Does she use a taco chip pick? Sure looks like it.

[@5Melig]

She sort of rolls it in her index finger, between the first two didgets. Now dig up that bass guitar and try again.

[@segashieh]

If you want a longer guitar solo, "Blooming" would be a good one for you.

[@PaulEngineer]

MISA! MISA! MISA!

[@neilyamashita2426]

Freedom live for a great akane drum solo! Don't you tell me live for an awesome misa and kanami dueling!🤘🤘😉

[@saikisfang9339]

I was thinking the same 😄

[@falconsooner]

Yeah...she does intentionally skip notes on the tapping. Because you like the rhythm section a lot...I would recommend Play Live. Good dose of Bass and Drums with some great crowd interaction

[@crabuki1273]

The music video for their song "Blooming" has two fairly epic Kanami guitar solos. It's probably my favorite BAND-MAID song.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

I can watch Kanamincho finger tap all day long! Thank you for reacting to this video.

[@supersloth215]

Looks like you were hoping for a drum solo from Akane - for that you'll need to check-out "Freedom" live.

[@billhallisey7298]

Miku is the rhythm guitarist. When the band started she was only a singer, she didn't know how to play guitar. Kanami, the lead guitarist, became her sensei, or teacher. Miku has come a long way since she started learning guitar.

[@PaulEngineer]

You're allowed to love both Asterism and Band Maid! Different feel, both awesome. Here the tapping melody fills in for a vocalist verse/chorus, while the others show their instrumental talent, without taking the focus off the song. Masterful. (I think longest Kanami solo in a song stands at about 26 seconds - but there is a live in Hamburg video worth catching)

[@joki5346]

I guess You mean "Take me higher - Freedom - Moratorium" video from summer 2019, where Kanami climbs the drums at the end of her solo, leading into Moratorium. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKnQg5yNfb9miqs

[@GaryHolloway-810]

"Unfair game" 30 secs. I knew you really wanted to know that nerdy fact.

[@jkkansasband7056]

Band-Maid music is consistently 3:30 to 4 minutes by design. With over 110 songs in their catalog they've never gone over 5 minutes. No problem for me. Just put it on repeat. I enjoy every second of every song. Akane's longest drum solo will be in the FREEDOM-LIVE vid. You won't be disappointed. If you can find the "Don't you tell ME" Live vid you will go bonkers also. BAND-MAID is just too Awesome to nitpik. They have a massive amount of great music to satisfy you for a long long time. Peace. 1.99

[@frankgonzalez4853]

i could send you a link to the copy of ":don't you tell me" (or any of their older vids not on YT) that is on my PC

[@cepho8349]

I personally like my songs on the longer side of things. So that is a bit disappointing to me.

[@DaElfer]

If you do frame by frame it's only about 2 frames to go from pick to slap and back

[@greylocke100]

The Missing notes are on purpose. Listen to her solo in Blooming to find out how Kanami uses tapping to play with the timing of a song.

[@gregs_music_corner]

The instrumental version of Giovanni is what you want if you want Kanami pyrotechnics. People just don't realize how insane the guitar part is until you remove the vocals. It's madness.

[@doripak815]

yup👌🏽

[@DragonPhlyy]

Brand new NEMOPHILA single is out! A Ray of Light go check it out!

[@lewissmith4123]

We're all waiting for Kanami to have here Freebird moment but I doubt we will ever hear it in Band Maid. We'll have to wait for her to do a solo project. I love Miku's trashy sound of her rythmn guitar, she couldn't even play guitar when they started the band and now she is able to give Kanami the freedom to perform instrumentals live.

[@gt1man931]

Again, these women are the most unselfish band members you will find. They are all very happy when their bandmates are in the spotlight. They will never be known for overdoing it or overplaying solos. Kanami can go all in if she feels it, it is just rare. Check her out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGqvomdsdrd5rtU

[@tommcfall1274]

You would extend everything? Let Kanami do the writing! Listen to song over and over if you want more. Yeah, you need to check out the MV "Blooming" to see Kanami go off

[@gordowg1wg145]

minor comment - you NEVER need to apologise for re-watching MISA's bass playing.

[@Kevin6059]

You're not the only one that wishes Kanami would play longer solos - she's just so damn selfless - everything she writes serves the song, too. Always leaves you wanting more. I am just grateful for what she does.

[@billb.5183]

If you're waiting for their songs and solos to get longer, you'll be disappointed. It's just not their style to drag them out. They do have some long-ish solos though. Try Alone, Blooming, Rinne, Unfair Game, or the Nonfiction Days (Their longest song I know of at about 4:45 seconds). MISA has a nice bass solo in No God.

[@rustygear447]

Turn Me On has the longest solo section.

[@billb.5183]

@@rustygear447 Yes, I didn't think of that one.

[@tktsasii]

巨大な大釜～ฅ•ω•ฅ

[@rustygear447]

Kanami don't do long ass solos. That's just Band-Maid - they don't out shine each other. BUT, she does shred in the background the whole song. In this song in particular, it's an instrumental but it's also a song because Kanami is the lead singer, just not with vocal.

[@elevown]

Kanami has some impressive and often technical solos BUT that isnt what she is about- she says solos have to fit the song - she also doesnt have an ego - she doesnt believe in just showing off and doing some mad solo thats not part of the song. But also- she is a fantastically ORIGIONAL guitarist- she doesnt sound like ANY other guitarist- her stuff if often chromatic and not stuff you'd normally think of working well where she uses them but they do.. Do you know ryan mear? skilled musician/old time rocker- he says she is the first guitarist in decades to make his greatest guitarists list, that he thought he'd never add to. So dont mistake her talents just because she doesnt do mad shredding all the time. (p.s she writes most of their songs)

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Here is a long Kanami solo kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJOtiXl8dtacnLc

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Remember, when BAND-MAID started, Miku could not play guitar...she just carried around a Rick 620 as an ornament. Then, Kanami started teaching her. She uses mostly Drop-D tuning.

[@jamesgodwin868]

I don't know if it impacts their playing,but Misa,bass,and Akane,drummer,were in a band prior to Band-Maid. I've seen 2 songs from that band,but they were not allowed to shine. And,the songs were not good. There are great suggestions in the comments. I will just highlight one,DICE, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGkiqGMf71sebs, where the intro is by them and awesome. Bet you can't sit still listening to it. There is a live version on YT where their parts are longer,but the sound quality is not as good as the MV. I'm subscribed,so I look forward to more Band-Maid reviews. Just look at the high number of reviews compared to other music you've reviewed. We Maidiacs will be watching. Try videos from their official website. I've heard those are never blocked...worth a shot. kzbin.infovideos

[@LS-uv9gg]

Thank heavens I just like music. It's always bizarre to hear musicians or "musicians" autopsy a song based on their particular set of criteria. One will not listen to the song because they are endlessly counting 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4, another will grimace at a certain vocalization, and/or say this is a D-minor (pokes endlessly at keyboard beside them, or cringingly twangs at unplugged electric guitar)) hmm, no this is an A-flat. (keyboard/guitar) no it's an E-major. (keyboard/guitar) hmmm. No, now it's a partial Phrygian with a chromatic blues variation..." another will "double kick is sloppy" another will "missed this note, missed that note, missed this..." another will utterly ruin all hope of a flow by stopping every 2 seconds and going off on a tangent of "this part is metal. This part is punk. This part is pop-punk. This part is thrash-pop-punk-metal. Wait, (goes back 2 seconds) no, this part is more metal-grunge-pop-punk. This part is..." I feel sorry for these people lol.

[@rockdariff]

Idk I feel like being a musician helps me get into tracks a bit more then most, Im not as savvy in knowing keys or timing or variations or genres…I dont think I dive into it that far…I mostly compare it too what Id write and what Id want to hear after the intro starts

[@LS-uv9gg]

@@rockdariff Oh, no, I should have mentioned that I'm not pointing fingers at you individually, sorry lol. It's just that I have probably watched several thousand reaction vids in the past year or so, and not being a musician, I just wonder if these people actually like music, hee hee ;)

[@laughingbuddha2948]

No offense, but you're simply not in their league...It's not about what you want them to do, but it's about what they do. A little humbleness wouldn't be bad, these ladies are geniuses.

…ok…

[@cepho8349]

Lmao. What an idiotic comment.

[@dennisthemenace671]

MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , when MISA goes from pick to slap and back , Misa has a technique of tucking the pick in her index finger while she slaps , you were taking about holding for to long like an 8 count it looses interest , same goes for reactors who pause n talk to long trying to explain something your audience can loose interest also , just something to keep in mined .

@@Bodneyblue I think Giovanni is better as an instrumental than the actual song. Now we need the Maids to do an extended version of "Hard Wash" & a studio version of "Go Nuts".🤞

[@Bodneyblue]

​@@GaryHolloway-810 I rather like Giovanni as a song..I heard the instrumental version first...so rarther partial to that...I think it must have been a tricky track for Miku and Saiki to get the words to fit the profile as it is a rather unusual composition. And I think the Kanami's does get a little lost in the album mix. It's Kanami's fingers running up and down the neck of her guitar that hypotized me in the instrumental video with that galloping riff. 🐎🐎🐎. I am sure I have seen a "fan cam" of "Go Nuts"...but I feel it has ben taken down as I have not seen come across it since. As for "Hand Wash"..the masters and princess's can mime washing their hands and waving dry!...hehehe!
