WHAT IS THIS? | BABYMETAL x @ElectricCallboy - RATATATA (REACTION)

[@jakemuller8626]

Next suggestion: - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official MV (2015), it's the most epic live version and with the best sound and technical execution by the best musicians you can find in Japan. Do not follow suggestions over early era songs performed last year or after 2018, just wait for those for further reactions. Try to enjoy these suggestions between 2010 and 2017 to appreciate the evolution of this group.🦊🤘🔥

[@jakemuller8626]

Welcome to the Foxhole 🦊🤘🔥 It's always nice to see more reactors getting into this amazing group, they're a global phenomenon from Japan and trust me you have seen nothing yet. Here's a brief info about this amazing group: BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal". They are: *SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26. *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24. *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 21 and is the new official member since April 1st last year. -YuiMetal- scream and dance, former member since 2018. None of them are related. After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said. There's no other group like them around and teaming up with this group from Germany just elevated them even higher. If you like Jpop and edm elements then you're gonna find a lot of cool songs blended with heavy metal in their latest album "The Other One" released last year. Songs like Divine Attack - Shingeki, METALIZM, Time Wave and Light and Darkness among other great songs as well tracks and live performance from early era will make you bounce and rock with this insane group. This single just reached Number 1 US Billboard rock/metal chart for the first time for both bands! Last weekend of May they did the live premiere of this song in Japan at FOX_FEST (a festival held by BM) and everyone went wild with this collab, the live version is already out if you don't wanna stop enjoying this song. Last weekend they played this together once again at Rock Am Ring and the day before at Rock Im Park in Germany twice in the same day, one during EC show and later at BM show. The girl in the middle is the lead singer SuMetal and she actually dance less than the other girls (MoaMetal and MomoMetal) because she sings most of the time but regardless she can dance and sing and you won't even notice she's out of breath. About this song: This was filmed in Germany and the concept of the MV is they're breaking boundaries with the genres and they don't care about corporation decisions, the office with the suits workers and the Japanese boss kinda represent that. The "hips don't lie" is definitely a Shakira reference. The "Fu Fu" (or more like "wu-uh wu-uh") part sounds like Backstreet Boys - Everybody female backing chorus but it's probably used way back before in more songs. The "push it to the limit" line it could be an homage to Scarface's movie, another post disco, dance rock song with some guitar elements. The moment when they're bursting the wall is another homage to Aerosmith x Run DMC - Walk This Way MV, symbolism of breaking the boundaries with the music genres like I already said. Also one of the singers is holding up the cable with electricity during the breakdown it could be a reference to "The Cable Guy" movie. When I heard the official audio I thought the second "Are you ready?" chorus was MomoMetal doing the backing growling but they didn't show that in the MV, although later fans spotted in the live performance, so it was her after all as well in the third chorus when singing "Everybody". There's probably more references but I'm so far away from pop culture that i probably missing a lot more. Fun fact: EC said in a reactor comment and later at their own reaction video that they did the bursting the walls scene in one shot, there will be a bts so we're waiting for more. The crew had to put all those disco ball on the celling manually just for this song. They met each other last year when BM went to see EC live in Boston and they asked them to work together, this is a 50/50 collab song. Next suggestion: - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official MV (2015). I'm gonna leave in my next comment where to get more proshot clips safe to react if YT allows me to do it. See you next time 🦊🤘🐭

Thanks for the amazing amount of information , i will revisit this post if i need more info =) thx for your comment and positivity!

[@jakemuller8626]

@@KrayReacts Don't mention it, it's my pleasure to help. Please disregard any suggestions over early songs such Megitsune and Road Resistance 2023 live version. The best version to enjoy those for the first time are: - Megitsune official MV - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official MV (2015) The first one is with studio album track but the MV is really good among majority fans favorite. The second one is live sound with the best musicians from Japan and it's an epic finale. You can come back later with another version.🦊🤘🔥

[@paulriddle7818]

Rap and Metal have been doing collabs since the late 80's. They used to play the same venues on the same night. Anthrax and Public Enemy is a good example.

[@KrayReacts]

Ice-t did some too right?

[@paulriddle7818]

@KrayReacts Yes ICE T formed Bodycount in 1990 with his high school buddies. Only Ernie C the lead guitarist is still alive. The band has a European tour coming up this summer.

ANd ICE Ts son is a member of the band.

Good first reaction.🤘🦊 Both bands formed in 2010. Electric Callboy are from Germany and they are great musicians, but they like to have fun and inject some humour into what they do. BABYMETAL are Japanese and the best live entertainment of any kind that I've had the privilege to experience in person. You won't have seen or heard anything quite like them, they pioneered their own metal sub-genre fusing metal with J-Pop hooks, melodies and aesthetics (including introducing choreographed dance to metal) and they are both original and unique. BABYMETAL have nearly 70 songs now, each one different to the last - some are good hard metal, some lean towards their pop roots, they do everything in between and they will also mix and blend in so many other musical styles and genres with the metal. Hopefully you will give them another listen (the official videos are good, but live BABYMETAL is where they are always at their best). Pick any song, you can't go wrong. 'Megitsune' live at PIA MM Arena from April 2023 would be a good place to start. It is one of their earlier songs and it shows a lot of what they are all about.

Nice reaction to this awesome song. Always a pleasure to find new Electric Callboy reactors. I hope you consider reacting to more Electric Callboy songs. 😄🙃 As I see, the Babymetal fans are already here, so I'll cover the Electric Callboy side, as I've made it my little "mission" to introduce new reactors a bit to the history of EC. So, if you want to take a look at what EC have done so far, you have to catch up on up to 14 years of band history. If you want a short synopsis of their career, here are some of the bullet points (centering more around the bands background): [‼Attention: Wall of text/Info dump ahead‼] 💖The band was founded in 2010 as Eskimo Callboy by six guys from Castrop-Rauxel a former coal mining city in the eastern part of the Ruhr Area within the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany 💙Name change in 2022 to Electric Callboy - they explain the reasons in two videos on their KZbin page. 💛In 2020 their singer Sebastian 'Sushi' Biesler left the band to found his new project 'Ghostkid' and was replaced by Nico Sallach a longtime friend of the band whose own Band (To The Rats And Wolfs) was newly disbanded at the time. 💜The introduction single for Nico 'Hypa Hypa' was also the international breakthrough for the band. Since then they had headline tours in Europe, USA (sold out) and Australia (sold out). Electric Callboy in its current manifestation is an absolute LIVE-Band! They truly shine on the stage - give it a try and watch a live concert. Like this one from 2022, they played in a relatively small venue, a mix of old (Sushi) and new (Nico) Songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3OzdHurfb-op8U Live footage of Sushi-era EC is way rarer, because… well, let's put it diplomatically: sometimes his signature intensity was a bit much and tampered with the live quality. ❤They never stuck to one genre and were counted as Metalcore, Trancecore, Post-Hardcore, Electronic Rock… and recently the internet dubbed them Partycore. They combine metal/metalcore with influences from EDM/Techno, Pop and frankly nearly every imaginable genre of music. The general sound changed somewhat with the joining of Nico, as his clean rock, almost pop-sounding voice is distinctly different to Sushi's emo/punk-rock voice. With Sushi EC sounded rougher and a little harder in general, but I think this sound isn't lost. If you listen to the new songs in a live setting, it will be evident that even the songs of Tekkno sound way harder if the guys play them live on stage - prime example would be Spaceman. The guys always said they would make music which suites their personal mood at the time of writing and since 2020 and the pandemic and all the restriction that came with it, they made mainly fun/comedic music as a kind of therapy for them and their audience. Nevertheless, their catalog includes some really divers sounds; the funny ones are easy to find and most commenters or a quick YT search will suggest them anyways, so I will list some of the more serious songs for you in no particular, definitely not complete order: 🔹My Own Summer 🔹Best Day ft. Sido 🔹Back in the Bizz 🔹Crystals (the only Song I really like better with Sushi's Voice) 🔹Rehab 🔹VIP 🔹The Scene ft. Fronz 🔹Shallows (also a good Sushi-Song) 🔹Supernova 🔹Made by America 🔹Hate/Love 🔹Prism 🔹Mindreader 🔹Parasite 🔹Neon Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with any EC song, there are very few that aren’t killer and non that are bad. Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥🖖 Some additional Information _The current members are:_ ▪ Kevin Ratajczak: shouter, text writer, supporting clean vocals/harmonies, keyboards/synthesizers, producer (2010- present) - and yes big guy, 6'4" ▪ Nico Sallach: clean vocals, text writer, supporting shouter (2020-present) - he is 5'7" ▪ Daniel 'Danskimo' Haniß: lead guitar, composer, producer (2010-present) ▪ Pascal Schillo: rhythm guitar, backing vocals, arrangement, videography (2010-present) ▪ Daniel Klossek: bass guitar, backing vocals (2010-present) ▪ David(-Karl) Friedrich: drums (2012-present) _Past members:_ ▪ Sebstian 'Sushi' Biesler: clean vocals, first shouter, text writer (2010-2020; left after let's say 'creative differences' to pursue his solo carrier with his new project 'Ghostkid') ▪ Michael 'Micha' Malitzki: drums (2010-2012; left because of personal reasons; he subbed in 2022 for the band as David Friedrich was absent and on a humanitarian mission on the Polish-Ukrainian border) They have six studio albums: 🔹Bury Me in Vegas (2012) 🔹We Are the Mess (2014) 🔹Crystals (2015) 🔹The Scene (2017) 🔹Rehab (2019) 🔹Tekkno (2022) 🔹and start of 2024 they announced that the work on a new album has officially started two EPs: 🔹Eskimo Callboy (2010) 🔹MMXX (2020) two live albums: 🔹The Scene - Live in Cologne (2018) 🔹HYPA HYPA Tour - Live in Ludwigsburg 2022 (2023) and one stand-alone single: 🔹Everytime We Touch (TEKKNO Version) (2023) 🎶 If you want the deep deep-dive into EC-world I would recommend the 'Making of…'-videos and the Tour Vlogs on their own YT channel or on TankTheTech's channel. Tank is a professional roadie, who turned reactor during the pandemic. He contacted the band for some interviews and they became friends, it grew to the point that he was their tour manager on the North America tour last year and since this year is their assistant TM globally… 🚩 Links to a host of EC-related KZbin videos can be found on my channel, there are some playlists which will shorten the search (hopefully).

[@MalkKawi]

The blending of genre is far from new Rap and Metal was called Fusion (Rage against the Machine for exemple) in the 90's.Tekno/electro and Metal had a sub genre called Indus(trial) in the 90's (Ministry for exemple)
