Static Reaction - Band-Maid - Onset

[@busser649]

I absolutely love when Miku gets going & those pigtails go a flying. I could watch that shit all day long, po.

[@fpg213263fu]

I like when She Headband live on Don't let me down.

[@MrBryanwithay]

just came across this Gem. In the past two years I have seen Band-Maid kick ass 3 times in the states. Chicago House of Blues '22, Nashville, TN '23 and Salt Lake City '23. They are the best band live, I have ever seen. And I have seen a shit ton of bad ass live bands.

[@Glynthepin]

You are so lucky to have seen Band Maid, twice. Good observation about older people recalling that this is what rock & roll used to be. You never know one mainstream radio station in the USA may start to play some rock and metal again, even if it's only for a Saturday night.

[@philipebbrell2793]

I have tried Radio 2 The Rock Show, but with no success. I was lucky enough to get on the ground floor and seen them four times in London. We are blessed in London with Japanese bands. Although, I am having to go to Vienna to see Sokoninaru in March, as there is no London gig.

[@philipebbrell2793]

@@Glynthepin I have been to Japan and seen bands there, rock Mutant Monster, idol Kolme and anti-idol, Necromonidol. Amazing experience. Going to see Sokoninaru in Vienna in March, which I am very excited about as I have never done gigs in Europe. Sokoninaru were incredible live in London, there were less than 50 people. For once, I was on the front row.

[@Glynthepin]

@@philipebbrell2793 Thanks for sharing, I admire your dedication. I have been a MM fan for a while. Since I first saw the video for Girls Fight. You don't see their earlier videos on KZbin now. I think I have all their earlier music videos and a few live performances but ashamed to say, I borrowed them.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA! I'm right there with you on the popularity thing It's GREAT for the hardcore fans cos its so up close and personal, but you really hope they take off BIG time so they are introduced to more and more people Hopefully sparking a revolution (Musically) to bring back ROCK AND ROLL

[@JuanSan66]

Great reaction, as always. Our ladies are growing very fast...

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

About their popularity: I'm writing this in mid-July 2020. When Band-Maid dropped the Conqueror album in December 2019, within 48 hours it was #11 on Billboard's worldwide hard rock album sales (includes both CD and digital), AND #10 of iTunes digital rock albums downloads worldwide. That's a LOT of fans all over the planet, waiting to jump on it as soon as available. Including me. This was a few days before my birthday and felt like a present from my #1 band. Rock and roll isn't exactly dead in the US, on life support maybe. But the big music industry here has gone to shit. It's run by soulless business managers who know little or nothing about music and care even less. The real music is underground as far as radio and TV are concerned. The artists are showing their music on platforms like this and distributing through their own sites, CD Baby, Reverbnation, etc. Japan has a lively underground club music scene that feeds the thirst for a live band experience, they have a lot of good and some great live-performance musicians partly because of how seriously their high schools take music, and those musicians are finding ways to share and sell their music. Their music industry is not perfect either, but definitely ahead of ours in the States for getting new, original, quality talent out there.

[@erumi36]

Your thoughts on why they are where they are at this point, and on why they are such a damn good band are spot on, and delivered very well. Need some podcasts from you guys. Serious business. DO IT!! The first episode should be dedicated to appreciating Band-Maid's gigantic balls!!

[@StaticAgeChannel]

Thanks! and YES! More Podcast are coming this year!

[@fastskipper777]

Frank, you play drums, right? Great pickup on Akane's playing. She used to work at a restaurant that had live Jazz band in the evening hours. She worked as a server then played drums on those occasion. So yeah, Akane can play Jazz, too. Band Maid came along when the restaurant closed down for good.

[@zer0tzer0]

BAND-MAID is in my top 2 Concerts of all time, and I've seen dozens of bands. The all time greats of Rock & Punk. The list is long! But top two. Small shows, BAND-MAID is #1. Big shows, Paul McCartney. An ex-Beatle in his 70's, and he played 3 hours of non-stop hits. The Dude is a machine!

[@StaticAgeChannel]

Band-Maid is most definitely one of, if not the best band i have ever seen live!

[@stealthcabbie1336]

Miku the glue and Akane the "Elegant Gorilla" .

[@paulread4886]

Akane OMG , John Bonham bass drum pedal work , Kieth Moon's wildness and the precision and imagination of Gene Krupa, all in one little Japanese girl ....Insane !!!! And live she has time to smile at band members and the audience. Ridiculous !

[@StaticAgeChannel]

Best Drummer!

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

Jimmy Page compared her to Bonham too...

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

WHAT’S UP, GUYS?! Really love that Onset got its own video and recording. Just needs to find its way onto a single or B-side! You and Roger also hit on the huge need for an official live album!💪🏻🤘🏻

Yeah, she can play this song in her sleep now where it probably was a challenge back when they wrote it. Heck, you could say she’s soloing now, with those note bends in Manners. Her increased ability is evident on Unseen World and it’s a joy to hear.

[@yugoxgc]

Band Maid is successful enough to tour worldwide annually & record top tier quality MVs. I'll always be cheering for them to get bigger but objectively speaking they are doing very well

[@jbartyparty7398]

Fantastic reaction guys (as always)!! I'm not even supposed to be watching this at work, but since it's my favorite instrumental (and perhaps favorite B-M song overall), I could not resist!! I just got the DVD of this and a few other instrumentals by the band and I'll be blasting it out tonight on my smart TV. Could not agree more with your perspicaciously on point analysis y'all!! \m/ \m/

[@StaticAgeChannel]

Thank you!

[@matttate9999]

I want to slap people when I tell them about Band-Maid and they shrug their shoulders.

[@StaticAgeChannel]

lol i feel ya!

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

I was slow about following up after my son mentioned them along with some other Asian acts, and afterward I was exasperated with myself for not hearing them sooner.

[@fpg213263fu]

When I first heard Band-Maid about Five years ago. I thought Wow, This is Rock N Roll! I like Metal too , and other music , but not all the time. I grew up more on Rock. I want them to be able to get on one of the Late Shows. Baby Did the Colbert show and got exposer that way. Keep up the Good work.

[@StaticAgeChannel]

Thanks, I could definitely see them making waves on a late night show!

[@Tomo-nyan]

いつも楽しく拝見させてもらってます😆BAND-MAID最高✨

[@zer0tzer0]

There are actually five of these videos. This one, and four others showing how each individual member plays their part of the song. To watch them all, including this compilation, takes over twenty minutes. MISA's new bass is a SG style Precision by Black Cloud. Miku has a number of Zemaitis guitars, including the pearl faced Ring and this metal faced Aces & Eights. Miku, started it all. She knew instinctively they needed double vocals, and two guitars. So, to recruit Saiki, she stepped down from lead vocals, and learned guitar from Kanami. She writes the lyrics and holds everything together. Akane & MISA have been playing together since Music School. They even did projects together before BAND-MAID. Check it out . . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3mzoZqAg5aClcU

[@boomstick900]

[@ステンマルク-h9m]

Bass plays pick and slap. Magic!

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

If you listen to the recording of their livestream from a couple of months ago, you will hear Miku's guitar more distinctly than usual, and that's when it hit me how far the Little Pigeon has come. She sounded friggin' GOOD. That came at the expense of Kanami's guitar channel being weak so we heard less of her awesomeness, but she has been teaching Miku well.

[@puffdadico6063]

Yeah, well said. Frank, thanks. Still blame Roger for not talking much.

[@andrewvidmar3488]

its funny the best instrumentalists in the world in my opinion come from japan more important basically 3 bands from japan the 3 best drummers are Akane from band maid, Haruna from Lovebites and Tamu from Nemophila, the 5 best guitarists are Konane from Band Maid, Midori and Miyako from Lovebites, and Saki and Hazuki from Nemophila, 4 Best bassist are Misa frrom Band Maid, Miho and now Fami from Lovebites and Haraguchi-San, and the 3 best Vocalist are Saike from band maid, Asami from lovebites and Mayu from nemophila please let me know what you think

[@raid7752]

A certain MR EDDIE VAN HALEN would be impressed with KANAMI'S tapping technique. Originally, Kanami played Addictone guitars but once she was noticed, she’s been PRS all the way! Kanami- PRS / Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier + 8 or 9 different pedals Miku- Zemaitis Custom / EVH( EDDIE VAN HALEN ) stack + various pedals MISA- Black Cloud custom 5 string bass / Orange stack Akane- Drum Kit: Tama Star Bubinga, Snare Drum: Ludwig, Cymbals: Zildjian (left to right) Oh by the way- JIMMY PAGE OF (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BAND-MAID, enough said....

[@rickwagner-]

As a big fan of both BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL, I think about their current levels of popularity sometimes as well. BABYMETAL have been around a while longer. Although they were very smol back then, they started in 2010. Of course they had to divide their time with Sakura Gakuin activities until graduating from that group. BABYMETAL did a bunch of festival appearances starting around 2014, both in Japan and overseas. They made connections with many of the metal bands, developed supporters, and later got opening act spots, as well as being able to join tours as a support act. Even with all of the "trve metal" BABYMETAL haters, they became part of the metal community, which seems to be more cohesive than Rock 'n' Roll in general. BAND-MAID started in 2013. They did more festivals in Japan in 2019, but not so much overseas. BAND-MAID are in a weird place. They're not metal, so metal festivals are a bad fit. At the same time, they're a lot heavier than the current pop trends. The 'Inkcarceration Festival' in Ohio is a good start, but they need to get in to more festivals outside of Japan. Also, ideally they would tour with, and open for a big Rock act in Europe, the USA and Japan. Of course once you hear them, most folks get converted. It's just getting them out there to be heard that's the hard part.

[@matttate9999]

Playing festivals will help make the connections they need to open for a bigger band.

[@Badllamah]

I'm still pulling for them to come here to Sacramento for AfterShock. With Metallica playing 2 different nights this year, and after BabyMetal came last year it would be a blast.

[@philipebbrell2793]

Baby Metal played Wembley Arena, the year Band Mail came to London for the first time.

[@cius2112]

Reaction channels are a big part of how BABYMETAL got so big, all the really massive ones reacted to Gimmie Chocolate, that can really give a band/artist a boost from all the exposure. If we can get larger channels to react to BAND-MAID as well as the smaller ones that are now I think we will see a jump in popularity.

[@rickwagner-]

@Pass_the_M BABYMETAL got a huge boost when they were the featured subject on the Fine Bros. React Channel 5 years ago, with over 19 million views. A couple of years later they came on themselves and "Reacted to KZbinrs reacting to BABYMETAL". It's actually kind of surprising for how many people this channel was their first exposure to the group.

[@me262talon2]

Miss you guys

[@jame254]

Misa is talented using simple basslines usin aeolian scale In this which is used mostly in metal and funk. Makes it fit this song. And sticks. Kobato has vastly improved. Still wating with some really awesome riffs and licks from. Like lovesbites guitarist. But babymetal is big because it is and Idol band. So they were literally made for the people

[@f1hotrod527]

I disagree. I love Bandmaid, and I obviously respect their great musicianship. And being a fan of metal and not liking pop, I should like Bandmaid way more than Babymetal. But Babymetal is at another level because their songs are better. I like Bandmaids songs, but to me they are a little repetitive and maybe this is the metal head in me, but the choruses are just to radio rockish for me. Their songs could use a little more juice and creativity. Again, they are great and I am in no way saying their songs are bad. I think the pop idol thing actually hurts Babymetal as far as people actually realizing how many great songs they have. With babymetal many people, even people who are fans never get past the thought of the "gimmick" of them. The truth is, Babymetal is no more a gimmick than most rock or metal bands. Their songs are great, each unique onto itself, its a shame most people cannot get past the surface of Babymetal. Maybe since I like metal more I would have liked Babymetal more anyway, but thats my 2 cents. I saw Babymetal earlier this year, would love to see Bandmaid next.

[@sirmatcauthon]

@@f1hotrod527 well i like babymetal. but sometimes when i play some of their songs i feel like..cheated?. i read somewhere that babymetal's songs are composed and arranged by some of the top metal composers of japan, and they rotate too (like the backing band members in some gigs) in every album. In bandmaid's case, tho i dont like pop but the songs have... soul? when i listen to the drums i know that akane made that fill to fit the song, to base licks, that misa has a hand in it, to the solo, that kanami made it. and others, hours and hours of work. to visualize the debates and brainstorming to make their songs..

[@f1hotrod527]

shadow3y3z I do know where you are coming from. Band Maids musicianship makes them very appealing. I know with babymetal a lot in the metal community won’t accept them because they don’t write the music or play the instruments. I used to think this way as well. But babymetal has caused me to rethink this, as I no longer care, I only enjoy babymetals music and don’t worry about who wrote what. Let’s not forget that Suemetal is an amazing singer. I think band maid is awesome. I just prefer heavier more unique music a little more. Band Maid could be really be something special in my eyes if their sound went a little heavier and unique. That is of course subject to your taste in music.

[@patron40silver]

Can you imagine if they'd stretch this song out to 15 minutes?

I recently got the BAND-MAID CONQUEROR (CD + Blu-ray) [First Limited Edition A] which has the Onset, DOMINATION and [DICE] (instrumental) which is pretty awesome. I have not dived into the CONQUEROR CD waiting to see if their might me more MV coming out. If you would like a live DVD you can get the BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION - CD + DVD [Limited Edition / Type B]. I just went ahead and bought just about all their CDs and put them on my phone and jam to them in my car. There are songs I wish they have made videos of or played a good live version of that you can react to.

日本人だから分かんないけど何となくバカにされてる気がした

[@f1hotrod527]

I never understood the link between Babymetal and Anime, I don't see it. They are from Japan, and they are cute, so that instantly means Anime? Babymetals outfits don't even look Japanese to me, they looked like western clothing to me. They are like ballerina black swan meets Metallica. Like I commented below, Babymetals "gimmick" probably makes more people dismiss them before even giving them a chance musically, especially in the metal community. Listen to all 3 Babymetal albums, how many songs are really really good? how many sound the same? Love Band Maid, but Babymetal is the greatest thing since "new metal" to me (cool new metal ;)) Babymetal's only mistep was that, shanti shanti should have had much more heaviness on the metal side, it is a good song, but could have been epic. In the name of the Goddess In the name of justice In the name of METAL In the name of the Fox God!!!!!!!!!
