"Thrill" by Band Maid 🎸 First Time Hearing | Gen X Guitarist's Honest Reaction!

[@rRobR]

All true maidiacs know and love this MV, it saved them, there label was ready to pull the plug on them, until this went viral, no thrill no band maid

[@genxreax]

It’s a great song

[@patrickwest2288]

This was the first Band-Maid song I heard. That was about 8 years ago. I love these very talented and beautiful young ladies ❤️ 🤘

[@genxreax]

They’re pretty awesome

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Seeing the Maids live and up close in a small, intimate club is a "Thrill" of a lifetime. One should consider themselves lucky to experience them like this because it's becoming rare. And as for sound... it'll be the best hard rockin' sound you can imagine -- clear, discreet, powerful and full of energy and joyful vibes! (And no compression!! ;-) Just ask anyone who's experienced them live. In fact, we've been getting an earful of "wow's" and "that was incredible" from all the reactors and commenters from their successful 2022 & 2023 Band-Maid USA Tours. Rock on, Danny!

[@genxreax]

Dang! Now I’m jealous. I want to see them

[@chrisegbertky]

I never tire of this!

[@genxreax]

It’s now on my playlist 🤘🔥

This was their first music video and the song that saved them. The band was supposed to release an MV for ‘Ai to Jonetsu no Matador’ but they changed it to Thrill and they went viral. Granted; Ai to Jonetsu no Matador is a Great song too but entirely different in style. 😄

[@genxreax]

Oh wow! That’s good to know 🤘

[@donaldbohn3183]

The guitar was pretty much a prop for Miku back then. She's gotten better!

[@genxreax]

Yes 🤘🔥

You better have a lot of capacity on your workout playlist. Band-Maid have over a hundred great songs. Some song suggestions for you are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum. Their latest live videos from Yokohama Arena are incredible. Don't You Tell Me and Hate are straight up bangers with guitar vs bass duels, and Endless Story is a tear jerker that even choked up the singer, Saiki, and the drummer, Akane, since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour. Also, they just released a collaboration with The Warning called Show Them which is a must listen.

I know there’s so much good song not enough time to listen to all of em 😫

[@OGMaidiac]

I agree with most Maidiacs, this song will always be Top 10, because without it, there is no Band Maid today. The Greatest Band of all time. I LOVE BAND MAID ❤❤

[@genxreax]

It's by far my favorite from them right now!

[@COTTERO]

Cool reaction.👍 "Thrill" is their oldest OMV, but it wasn't composed by them.😶 From their song "Alone" and all the songs after that, they have been composed or co-composed by the maids.👍😉

[@glenkelley6799]

Thanks for the reaction to Band-Maid. Thrill is the song that launched 21 million fans.

[@genxreax]

I don’t know why I didn’t start with this song first when it was first suggested to me lol

[@kyles5513]

I want their next album to sound like this.

[@genxreax]

Totally agree 🤘🔥

[@BRO-HI808]

Ah...Thrill...One of their milestone marker songs in their history. Their first MV and if it wasn't successful, the Label was going to disband the band of Maids. Thank goodness their MV went viral when someone put it on the book of faces. If not for that, as well as the Maids fighting for this song versus what the Label wanted to do, we wouldn't be enjoying the great music of Band-Maid. Great reaction my fellow GenXer. Next, maybe their next milestone marker song..."Alone" OMV. The first song completely written by the Maids, which the label approved for release. Keep rocking with the Maids! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

[@genxreax]

Thank you! Definitely going to listen to “Alone”

[@peterl9119]

Great reaction! The first couple of years for Band Maid were really difficult, and they went nowhere. The record company was planning to drop them and this song was their last chance. Thank god the song went viral upon release and saved the band; the rest is history.

[@genxreax]

I know! Such a great story 🎸🔥

Poor Miku gets overlooked again. Did people forget she sings?😔

[@sugaanessena3143]

@@GaryHolloway-810 I feel like Miku rarely gets the praise she deserves.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@sugaanessena3143 Yep. Every "Thrill" reaction i hope the reactor will say "Wow i didn't know she did lead vocals too, she has a great voice", i would. Then i'd play the acoustic version of "Time".😁

Fun reaction GenX (old genXer here, too)! Looking forward to your next reaction to Band-Maid!

[@genxreax]

Thank you 🤘

[@rjaywest378]

This MV was my first introduction to Band-Maid, and now I rarely listen to any other band.

[@tunes5077]

Yes!!!

[@terryc7142]

Band-Maid has a LOT of good videos to react to! I recommend Dice next, then Warning and then Manners.

[@genxreax]

I’ll put that on my list

[@Studio-Coast_Kid]

Thrill is special to Maidiac's for reasons beyond its musicality. But bad news if you're a Warning fan this is the only song Warningesqe. After this you need to buckle up if you're ready!

[@Pigeonholed-Po]

Thrilled

[@haggaisimon7748]

Again first!

Firstly second :)

[@dennisthemenace671]

What kind of filter did you put over the video , cause it changed the color kind of dull not sharp like usual .

[@genxreax]

We're playing around with filters... but we'll probably go back to our original. Thank you for noticing! 🤘

[@dennisthemenace671]
