Groovy reaction!

"More poppy feel" A strange phenomenon with Band-Maid is that you catch on to particular parts of the song in terms of it's sound. The choruses often feel poppy, but that's mostly just the melodies. Listen to other parts of Yolo, and it's crazy how hard they're playing. Even the background riffs in the poppy choruses are really hard... even a bit proggy here and there. The ability for you to hear them differently on subsequent listens is one of the magical things about their music.

The set design is the exhaust system from an old Chrysler V64 turbomatic. 🚙🌪

[@jamesgodwin868]

I always wondered about that.

[@SkeevyStonersReact]

That is awesome.

James Bond didn't live twice after he was blown away by BAND-MAID :)

@@GaryHolloway-810 Isn't it about time for a new JB film, Holloway... Gary Holloway?

You ask yourself, "How does Band-Maid come up with so many incredible riffs. The answer, "Kanami Tono is a freakin' genius!" This song,"YOLO" was composed long before Band-Maid was formed. She kept it "in her pocket" until the band was allowed to write and record their own music by their management company. Once that happened, this banger came out. A bit of news" PRS Guitars recently released a statement that Kanami was given her own custom made guitar with her additions from her suggestions and input. They are not available for sale (yet). If they were, they would run between 10K or 14K apiece.

[@SkeevyStonersReact]

That is Awesome. I would totally buy one if I could.

Band Maid absolutely the best hard rock bend in the world at least for the last 8-10 years!!! Thanks for your reaction.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Yep you're not wrong.👍

[@daft73games]

*BAND MAID!* This song was released 7 years ago in 2017 right after *Just Bring It* their album release which composed mostly of songs written by the members themselves. This is when *BAND MAID* really started to cook! 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

[@brunobryant4846]

"I love this band they are amazing", yep nuff said 👍🍻🍻

[@sugaanessena3143]

There is a beautiful piano version by Kanami of this song here on YT.

[@interstellardave]

Sticking to the middle years with the songs… which are great, and so listener friendly. I wonder what you’ll think of their newer, insanely dense proggy stuff like Black Hole, Different, Influencer, etc.? If you love that, as well as this, you’re gonna be hooked on them for life!

[@SkeevyStonersReact]

I admit when I was going through the catalog here on KZbin I purposely skipped a couple newer songs to save for later lol.

[@polskabob359]

One of their top songs

[@lurkmerchant]

They were transitioning from their pop-punk roots to hard rock sound at that point. This song, to me is all about 2nd verse onwards. I love the slightly weird trippy vibe. The music matches the lyrics like an impressionist art.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Hi Skeevy, on your channel your voice mic audio is much lower in my left channel earbud, the song's awesome tho.😁👍

[@SkeevyStonersReact]

Good to know. I am still learning how to do audio, and all that so I appreciate the feedback.

[@hiufernando7340]

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Shadow maker" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

[@SkeevyStonersReact]

That sounds awesome. I will for sure check them out. Today is Live Friday, but look for it sometime next week.

[@MusicMike747]

😂 What we’re all laughing about is that you’re getting hyped with goosebumps and you haven’t even seen them LIVE yet. As an old cat who saw his first live rock show in 1978? I testify that Band Maid is easily in the top ten live bands, worldwide, all decades, all generations. And the best part? Their live videos still aren’t the same as actually being there.

[@lurkmerchant]

You have to experience Band-Maid live, even though they play 23-24 songs on average, it's not enough. They probably swap a couple of songs in their next live, possibly with different intro, or mid-section, possibly Saiki singing intro a Capella, you never know what surprise they'll offer you next. I'm going to japan next year for the day of maid concert and I'm already stoked.

[@mikeholmes5308]

Well said, both Mike and Lurk. One of my favorite concert experiences up there with Rush, Pink Floyd and Muse.

[@jamesgodwin868]

Cool...my first concerts began in 1971 in San Antonio after joining the Air Force. I remember seeing YES(twice),Jethro Tull,ZZTOP when they opened for Ten Years After,Led Zeppelin,Alice Cooper(twice),Wishbone Ash,Hall & Oates when they opened for Shawn Phillips....
