She Split The Crowd Like Moses! | BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan | First REACTION!

[@DrewFortune97]

Shoutout to everyone who joined the live stream!🙏🏻🙏🏻 What’s next guys? We only getting started🔥🙌🏻🇯🇵

[@LouieGrandie]

What's next? Head Banger Legend 1997 for more epic crowd reactions and just remember, the song ain't over until the skinny girl bangs the gong. In Road of Resistance Su Metal was 17 years old and parted a 20,000 crowd like Moses and the Red Sea. Know any other 17 year old girls who can do that? Herman Li and Sam Totman from Dragon Force co-wrote the song and performed on the CD version. Baby Metal have joined them on stage to perform this song at their concerts. I am VERY looking forward to your sister Amy doing some Baby Metal reacts.

[@nznegativeions]

They're just corporate products being milked by the man.

[@LouieGrandie]

Jebus "the man" who the hell says that anymore 🤣🤣🤣

[@billie_vanilli]

@@nznegativeions Seriously you're applying corporate business practices to a culture on which I'm guessing you've done little to no research. I can't pretend to know anyone's true intentions, but by everything I've read about this band, Kobametal (the producer/concept originator) has the utmost passion for metal music and respect for the girls/band. You can shit on that idea all you want, but if you're doing it based on a whim and without anything to back up your reasoning, you're just adding to the ignorant cynicism that most people supply to the internet. I'm not even trying to insult you, I get why you'd think the way you are. I even thought that way before. But after learning a lot more about the band I see just how much the guy who created this cares for the project and everyone involved.

[@101fobster]

Kenny Gerberich Too long didn’t read, penis stuck in toaster.

[@LouieGrandie]

The song was co-written by the guys from Dragon Force

[@ChrisPage68]

It's got Herman Li's trademark riffs all over it. 🤘🎸

[@steffenjachnow8176]

And Sam Totman, I may add... DragonForce are amongst the earliest supporters of BABYMETAL by the way.

[@chaoscapricorn13]

Dragonforce has also played alongside them, it was like an amv more than a concert

[@CaptainSokrates]

@@chaoscapricorn13 I seem to remember reading in an interview with, I think, Herman, that they wrote the guitar parts for RoR to be played slightly faster than even Dragonforce would normally play, thinking that they would never have to play the song live themselves. It shows the respect they have for the Kamis that they knew they'd be able to handle it.

[@adamundaneedge2472]

Rizla2112 was mikio in it? If so im not surprised they played it so well.

[@samonitw688]

Herman Li and Sam Totman are actually recorded on the studio version of this song.

[@madzec]

I think in general, they are very popular in Japan, but when they "exploded" on west everyone gone nuts and they became mega popular

[@Happymali10]

Three teenage/YA girls with a stage-show consisting of two flags and they got the crowd LOCKED DOWN.

[@blindeyedog01]

Yup. Herman and Sam from Dragonforce co-wrote this song. 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@eisenflux2708]

holy fuck, that crowd makes me goosebump!!

[@toro55ful]

This is the song and video that make me a Babymetal fan, the performance is incredible man, the Kami Band is amazing and the girls just flawlees! The most amazing thing is how they command the crowd with only 17-15 years of age thats outstanding... Please react to more Babymetal man, Ijime Dame Zettai live in sonisphere 2014 is a great one! Great reaction like always!!

[@PrivateCustard]

It took a while for a lot of people to catch on, but eventually people realised. They are hard workers, great performers, and really good fun. The Kami band are brilliant too! Next up, their most important performance outside of Japan, their breakout performance of Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. Read up on the back story, or just wait for one of us to add it into the comments!

[@RikoguSnow]

I hope you end up watching the official PA PA YA video, the glastonbury performance does a terrible job showing how insanely fun that one is.

[@Lingiskhan]

I think the song "Shanti" was better from Glastonbury.

[@danielradina1330]

All of their live performances are amazing.

[@maximushaughton2404]

The music was arranged/writen by Herman Li & Sam Totman from Dragonforce. When they wrote it they thought they'd never have to play it so made it really hard to play, then in later in 2015 Babymetal picked up an award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards and the Kami band had to go home, so they asked Dragonforce to be the backing band and they played Road of Resistance. They also played as guests with Dragonforce for one song at Download in 2015.

[@josephcrowe2908]

She owns that crowd and she knows it. You can see it in her eyes.

[@davidborden9542]

Good idea on the intro! Smart!😎

[@midgardsflame]

It's funny. Before you mentioned it, I noticed a similarity to dragon Force's instrumental

[@CarpoolReactions]

Song plays like an anthem. Great reaction!

[@758tttosh3]

This is anthem exactly. In lyrics, there are few songs in babymetal with using the word "bokurano"; in english "our" which is the first person plural(or singular). Other songs are the one and tales of the destinies. That's all. Bokurano resistance means our resistance. This song is truly anthem.

[@flatzfisher]

@@CarpoolReactions Yeah I really like your reactions they are honest and to the point and they are your genuine opinion that is the best kind. Your first 2 Babymetal reactions cracked me the fuck up it was hilarious but glad you opened your mind too it. Read my comment on your Pa Pa Ya reaction

[@Asraf_Ahmad]

These girls start when they are just 10 and 12. When this live concert recorded, they already 14 and 16. Can we do that when we in that age? These song real meaning is the support of Herman Li and Sam Totman for them. If I not wrong, this song was written back in 2012-2013..

[@degnow]

"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" @ Sonisphere 2014. It was arguably the most important performance of their career. Instead of performing in front of a few thousand dedicated BM fans on a side stage they were thrown onto the main stage last minute to perform in front of tens of thousands of hardcore heavy metal fans that had never even heard of them in the birthplace of heavy metal. By the end of their set, finishing with "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", they had won the hearts of those in attendence. I believe that it was that very performance that catapuled them into metal stardom and solidified them as a true metal act.

[@Offoda]

[@hillbillynerd..6797]

[@yTosic]

12:57 i guess the song isnt really a song made to listen to but more like a song to hype the crowd up and with many repeats so the crowd can completely join the shouting without knowing any lyrics or anything

[@hero-pjapan5514]

I like your exciting reaction. I love Babymetal.

[@Parker_HX5]

I think people get surprised how popular babymetal are ...

[@thedonDunpeal]

I was watching an interview they were doing and the mentioned "a show we did 2 shows ago in Philadelphia where we were shocked to see so many in the crowd swinging their towels and it felt really good to know we had fans there" 🤯🤬 I didnt know they were less than an hour away and I missed the opportunity to see them 😥 well I'll be looking for the next time, to be honest Babymetal is something I would've expected to see at an OZZFEST, I've seen so many up and coming bands before they were big. Slipknot, System of a down, Disturbed, Static X to name a few as well as some BIG names I never thought I would ever see, Pantera, Judas Priest, Slayer, Manson, Korn, Primus, Zombie, some of the best times in my life without a doubt

[@deltaalphanorth5104]

@Drew Fortune not sure if your done with reacting to Babymetal but there is a vid. Called the unhelpful guide to Babymetal. It goes into their history, explaining Yui's departure, some of the lore around the band. Its an interesting view if you're interested

[@lennyg47]

This version of this song with the extended wowow sing-along section in the middle was the third or fourth encore at the end of an hour and a half long concert. Every song has unique choreography. And after hour and a half of singing, dancing, and running around that huge arena stage with the catwalk bridge, the girls don't skip a beat, don't miss a step, all the way to the final "See You!". The amount of training, planning, and stamina their performance must require is beyond my comprehension. Always more BabyMetal forever! :)

[@gringa4914]

Suzuka is deadass so cool lmao

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

Ijime Dame Zettai!!! You must react to this next. It's their first festival outside of Asia and their first exposure to unsuspecting metal heads. They were originally scheduled for a smaller side stage and were upgraded to the main stage at the last minute, where Anthrax and Iron Maiden were to headline. So needless to say, no one really knew who they were except for a handful of Japanese and western fans that followed them there. By the end of the set they had won over the crowd and had them shouting for more. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCQkJaYm8mlj6c

Same here tbh

[@paulbenwell3560]

RoR is one of their main stay songs to this day. It is often used to end their concerts and is a massive fan favourite due to the call/response part. BM live performances are really all about the relationship between BM and their audience. And as for Dragonforce - members Herman Li and Sam Totman co-wrote this and appear on the album track playing guitar.

[@kazukisato2479]

I like the way, you watch their concerts. Exactly same way that I do, speachless, and only lips moving in "wow". I`ve heard about the band like half year ago, and now I`m big fan, going to see them live in Netherlands next february

[@sana-cm7oc]

Your reactions are great! Crowds outside of Japan love Babymetal as well. They have concert DVD / BluRays of from both shows they played in London in 2014. One at The Forum and one at O2 Academy Brixton. They have another DVD/BluRay from their 2016 sold out show at Wembley. They started their 2016 world tour at Wembley and were the first Japanese band to headline there.

[@jasonwebb7978]

Am I the only 1 who says Haduken when they do that hand motion? Please let not be?!!!

[@Grington300]

Another excellent, thoughtful and well considered reaction and analysis. You are right, this song is more about the feeling behind it, the show, the performance and getting the audience involved. The song itself obviously isn't bad, but it is nowhere near their best or most memorable. Next I would have to go with 'Headbanger' from Legend 1997 or 'Megitsune' from the Budokan live (Red Night or Black Night - both were great). If you want more shock factor, especially if your sister is with you, 'Iine' (not Line, the first letter is a capital i). For a Su-metal solo plus showing off the Kami Band 'Rondo of Nightmare' with the Mischiefs of the Metal Gods intro.

[@thedonDunpeal]

I became a Babymetal fan after one song, Everyone on that stage loves what they're doing and the crowd loves them for it, they touch on almost every style of music seemingly effortlessly, I myself have a very eclectic taste, from Opera and Classical to the heaviest Metal or from Country to Rap and EVERYTHING in between, if it can hook me I'm caught lol

[@arturogonzalez755]

They are the iron maiden of Japan

[@LtSlapnutz]

Cheers for this Drew. I do miss this kind of Babymetal ... all 3 girls mic'd, Kami band solos bits, not hidden behind masks and not in the background. 2018 was a bit rough for BM but hopefully they are getting nicely back in good form. Having a trio again is definitely a good start to 2019.

[@CoconutxKimchi]

This song right here is how BABYMETAL got me hooked on them. Next: Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)

[@fravellist]

Nice reaction Drew, I was like you at first, so much going on in one track. After several more listens the structure of the track and the coordinated efforts of the whole band's performance becomes more apparent. The unveiling of this track at the Brixton Academy in November 2014 is a blisteringly-faster version on the live DVD.

[@beingsneaky]

Yeah karate is my fav. Also.

[@umphreak9999]

The fact she's never out of breath after all that choreography is ridiculous, she's doing an aerobics routine between each verse

[@MrFloppyHare]

You are correct about hearing a Dragonforce influence in this song. That's what the Dragonforce mention refers to: Herman Li and Sam Totman from Dragonforce collaborated with BABYMETAL for this song, writing the guitar arrangements for it. It is, therefore, a typical fast and technical Power Metal song. If that's not your thing, then I can understand that it's "a bit much" for you. And, of course, your honest opinion is appreciated. You're also correct that, apart from the song, the performance as a whole and from the girls especially, commanding a crowd like that - at ages 17 and 15 then - is a big reason why fans recommend this particular video. I'd love to see your sister react to BABYMETAL and I'm looking forward to your next BABYMETAL reaction video! Cheers & rock on!

[@serenjones6203]

"That's what 20 thousand people sounds like." I've been to concerts of over 70 thousand, and it didn't look/sound like that (I know, indoor acoustics vs outdoor, but some of those bands were Metallica, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, all at their peak.)

BABYMETAL and Dragon Force works together on Road of resistance! BABYMETAL also have a few performances with Red Hot Chili peppers Korn and Rob Halfford!

The two main guitarists from Dragonforce have been playing with them and even recorded a couple of songs with them, like this one!

[@HellenKillerProject]

Herman Li was the co-writer on this from DragonForce. When one of the big festivals refused to let Babymetal play. Dragonforce broke their set and brought babymetal in for a few songs … The crowd was stunned and the next year Babymetal had their own stage. Download 2015 review: Bounding onstage and starting up Gimme Chocolate!!, Babymetal come on like a neon metal rainbow slicing through the evening gloom. Herman Li and co whirl to the sides, giving the trio room to jump and pose, again in front of a sea of cameras and mobile phones. It doesn’t take long before all arms are raised skywards, clapping along to their infectious bubblegum beats. This is their first time playing together live, and it’s ridiculously uplifting. BabyDragon are here and they’re on fire.

I felt the same about DragonForce the first time I heard them. After a few listens they grew on me. The same with Angry Monkeysteam (Yngwie Malmsteen). It took a bit for me to get into him. But after I did I love his music. By the time I heard Road of Resistance it didn't need to grow on me. I like the song because there is so much going on that I get something new out of it every time I listen to it. Perfect song to to use as the finale.
