Shambles Band-Maid Reaction |

[@paulpetersen879]

The Maids can play anything, any style. Band Maid doesn't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre.

wait till Rinne ;)

The flames were real, as usual for one of their location MV's the temperature was extreme, it was a freezing cold day around 3°c (37°f) so they were appreciative of a little warmth. When they filmed Influencer on the other hand it was 37°c (98°f)

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

i hope they have good stage production then :)

[@TlanImass]

When you get to Warning! there’s a real explosion! And they’re right in front of it a couple of yards away at most.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

def might do that one next :)

[@ranger_a6953]

@@ThisGuyReacts85 Do the MV. It's a complex song that they have yet to pull off live, frankly.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

@@ranger_a6953 Warning! ...? Already done mate ;)

[@zer0tzer0]

This song was commissioned as the season two closer for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura. In the LIVE version they have clips from the show on the screen behind them. Real flames though. In fact the flames came at the end of a very cold day shooting on the second story of an open warehouse. So the only time they were warm was when the flames were on. As soon as they were turned off that had to put their coats back on. Still, it was safer than what they did in the 'Warning' OMV.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

youre the 2nd person to suggest Warning... Nancy!

[@evilducks3710]

Ah Shambles, the song I consider to be about 73% drum fills. Akane just going bananas the whole song.

[@daaaaaave]

That stretch that starts at like 4:58 in this video, where she just starts chaining them together and accelerating is my favorite. It's completely gratuitous, but I love it.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

its the drumming we needed

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

would love to see this one live!

[@donaldgraham6414]

Well, you are what you eat. ❤🦍

[@chrisegbertky]

This has such magnificent vocals over bass and drums. Of course great guitars shredding away but it's that juxtaposition of soaring vocals over that Godzilla growl of a bass and the AK47 outbursts of the drums that makes Shambles!

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

alone they are great musically, together, unstoppable!

[@philipcable437]

Like an ice cube to the back of your neck (in the best possible way). Band-Maid World Domination.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

they will take over!! XD

[@elliott8339]

Thanks for the reaction and comments. Akane aka Gorilla goes full King Kong mode in Shambles. These ladies never fail to impress. Cheers!

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

💯

You can tell Miku's playing on that rhythm guitar has vastly improbed in this song as she is really playing that guitar like a pro. That is our little pigeon, po. Great reaction. P.S. Can you tell I am a Miku fan? 😀 I really love all of them to be honest.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

Miku is great Katami is wonderful, Misa is amazing, Saiki is glorious and Akane is majestic :)

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Yes, Shambles is the Akane show with special guest stars Kanami, MISA, Saiki and Miku. But wait! Was it really the Kanami show, because she wrote the song and played it with such forcefulness and exquisite abandon. Or was it the MISA show because without MISA, the rapturous drive of the song would be a ride on four flat tires. Or was it the Saiki show because she focused the sonic chaos into a song with melodies that could express Miku's lyrics like no other singer could. Without Saiki, Shambles might sound like a familiar instrumental. Or was it the Miku show because, damn, she wrote the lyrics, played the important rhythm parts, and added her unique brand of backup vocals that have become a defining "sixth instrument" of Band-Maid. So exactly whose show was it? It was the Maid's show, as usual! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, Guy!

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

with their powers combined, they are BAND-MAID!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@ThisGuyReacts85 Each member is equally good with unique style and personality! Together, they're a synergetic powerhouse!🤘🏻

She crushes on this track!

Letttsss GOOOOO!!!

[@mightyminniemouse5808]

That is an awesome intro.

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

caught me off guard in a good way =)

[@K.H.D710]

These flames are real, not CGI. This MV was filmed on a cold day. Maids said that the flames were nice and warm🔥

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

nice to see real metal band using real fire!!!

[@polskabob359]

This one is actually written for an anime

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

i was reading up and caught that. The names used was a give away

[@daaaaaave]

@@ThisGuyReacts85 I thought this as well, before I watched the anime, which doesn't have any characters with those names. There actually aren't any names used (besides a reference to Kiba [fang], which references a title given to a fighter in the anime). Sai and Kyo(u) is a reference to an audience interaction they had during one of their concerts (There's footage on YT. Video is titled "Band-Maid - MISA shares alcohol with audience. Sai and kou! - Subtitled - 2019 NYC Mercury Lounge"), where Miku asked Saiki how she thought the tour was going, and Saiki said, "Saikou (the best)", and Miku said "Sai and kou" kind of by accident, and then Saiki started making fun of her, pretending it was popular to say that with the youth in Japan, and telling the audience to try saying it if they go to Japan. It became an in-joke with the band. Saikyou means the strongest, and "Sai and Kyo" is a riff on that joke.

The flames are real.The maid's love setting sHit on fire.It's in a lot of their videos

[@ThisGuyReacts85]

real metal bands use real flames

[@johnmatthew102]

Gasoline bombs blowing up cars as well. Don’t forget the marshmallows!

[@donaldgraham6414]

In that case I hope the Ukrainian Artillery Corps are listening to lots and lots of Band-Maid 🇺🇦
