Never forget that Herman was one of the first Western artists to give BABYMETAL a chance by helping them with Road Of Resistance. Love the shirt, and thanks for the constant positivity for them over the years
Not just the work on Road of Resistance, but bringing Babymetal onstage at Download 2015 after one of the event organizers said BM would never perform at Download. That was the greatest kindness given!
@@Troy1399 Herman and Oli were definitely critical in helping get the girls cred in the West -- so were Rob Zombie and of course Rob Halford -- but the _very_ first Westerner who saw Babymetal's potential was Marty Friedman, who lives in Japan and met the girls waaay back in late-2011. He's also hyped up other Japanese girl-groups that go against the grain. Still, I love Oli's rant at SummerSonic about how much he loves BM.
Thank you for supporting Babymetal at a time when most others in your circle wouldn't. I especially love that Suzuka *_finally_* has a lyrics credit for this song.
I cannot listen to this song/ watch the video without getting goosebumps and having a massive smile on my face as soon as that pre chorus/ chorus kicks in
@jokok2333 shit I forgot about this band and song. I'm definitely gonna learn it now that I came back to this post. I got better on guitar so I'm sure I can learn it. Though I bet that solo will tough to get down but practice makes you perfect over time.
Divine Attack gives me Starlight vibes because of Su's vocals, the meaning of the song is similar to Road of Resistance, and that quiet part that sounds like its going to become a guitar solo, but doesn't, always reminds me of Distortion.
@@slowtalker the second pre-chorus has just the right amount of vibrato for my taste. The fact that she does sing with very little vibrato is exactly why I love her voice so much.
Yes, it's taken me a few listens to get into it. I hope the guitars are pushed a bit more forward in live performance and maybe on the CD as well. It is certainly encouraging for the new album. What I really hope for is more from Moa and no masks on the Kamis.
Baby metal is actually insane, had a friend show me, thought it would be alright, but they do NOT mess around at all Haha. They go hard every song and every concert. It’s been my top band ever since behind Metallica and dragon force.
Great to see Herman supporting our girls again ! I think because Babymetal uses Road of Resistance as their closing song almost every time. And I agree, it might very well be a bit of a warm up song. It's gonna be a concept album, so that's interesting.
It's so cool to see you following their progress and supporting them. I think the song is amazing and Su-Metal has for the first (?) time written the lyrics. I think the lyrical flow was one of the highlights, so she's off to a good start. I wish it was a little longer though, with a solo or another verse after the quiet DnB part. But still, it was an immaculate first release and they are surely saving the best songs for later, like you mentioned. Can't wait to see them in April.
Lo dice este hombre que está adherido a la historia de babymetal con colaboraciones épicas en cuanto a composición y shows en vivo. Gracias a la música por gente como ustedes.
I appreciate your reaction to this video. You are the man who have supported BABYMETAL in their early stage like a mentor or a guardian angel. And the fans are looking forward to new collaboration between DF and BM. As you commented, this is just an appetizer. I reconfirmed the purity of Su's voice even after some maturity. Moa's velvety but powerful voice in the back sounds great, too. But we all know this song is just one of their various faces that we are going to witness from now on. Hail to the newly born lyricist Su!! 😍
Herman understands Babymetal more than most people. Always fun to listen to his analysis of music. Don't know if Herman noticed that Su-metal is credited as one of the writers on this song, which is a first.
Hey Herman! Awesome reaction! You nailed it man, they are actually releasing a new song every month leading up to the album! I can't wait for it to launch. I wish I could go to Europe to catch the Sabaton+BM tour...
I'm still waiting for Dragonforce and Babymetal tour. Both bands were supposed to come here in Philippines last 2020 for Pulp Summer Slam but Covid struck
Let's go Herman Li living legend!🙌 What a nice t-shirt and guitar for sure, is already part of BM story and you should never sell that guitar. Thanks for sharing this, you probably already know everything about this song, for me this song lyrics and spirit carry the same uplifting vibes from Road Of Resistance but this time as a call to arms and fight for your future. SuMetal got the credits on the lyrics and we couldn't be more proud of her reaching one of her dreams come true.❤️ And you got it alright, the best is yet to come. I'm gonna leave you the lyrics translation in case someone need it. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time. Kitsune up!🦊🤘🔥 Here's a base translation from a Japanese fan and some fix i made. This is my 2.1 ver. Full title: Divine Attack - Shingeki Divine Attack - 神撃 Credits: SU-METAL · MEGMETAL · HAYAMETAL [Intro] The long night is upon us. A noisy wind blows. Here we gather, mighty men, with blades of steel in our hearts. Together we vow, together we shout. Let our journey begin here. [Verse 1] The way of escape has been cut off The silence has been broken The time has come to fight Raise your hand [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn _Time to go your way_ Open the road with your hands [Verse 1] Even if it's a fleeting dream Even if it's against your destiny If it's worth defying I want you to offer your heart [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ If there's a future you want to see _Time to go your way_ Break through the wall with your hands [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn _Time to go your way_ Open the road with your hands [Post-chorus] Woh, oh oh, oh oh Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn Woh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh Open the road with your hands
I saw them open up heavy Montreal back in 2014. It's incredible to see how they've progressed into the more heavier and mature version of themselves. Cant wait for the album.
I definitely love it more than the first release from "Metal Galaxy" (which was "Distortion"). And I can not wait for the next four songs (and, of course, the new album). Thanks for the nice fan service (guitar story), by the way!
Hi,Hartman, thank you for your big affection to Babymetal, and a very insightful guess on the upcoming songs. I was nodding to it, ah-ha. We gonna have much more excitement. I love Dragonforce music and warm personalities of you guys.
I agree - this is definitely the warm-up song for the album. Very much like Distortion, the first release from Metal Galaxy - straightforward song structure, big sweeping chorus with a catchy hook - a good setlist song for festivals and to grab interest from a wider audience with a more mainstream sound. They've got a plan, for sure.
thanks for help with road of resistance, one of my most favorite songs ever. i have tickets to dragonforce in Prague and for Babymetal in Ostrava too :)
🐎💥🐎 That's a beautiful guitar. I love those blue/green tones. The lyrics for 'Divine Attack - Shingeki' seem very reminiscent of 'Road of Resistance', although from Su's more mature perspective. I've watched the clip from the Golden Gods Awards in 2015 many times. Everyone looks like they were having a lot of fun.
I am tempted to request David Heretic to look at that collaboration. Especially after the poor quality 'fan cam' he watched for the collaboration with RHCP.
@@rickwagner- Oh, I have a reasonable fan cam version of both songs but always thought there was a pro shot version somewhere but not in UA-cam. I maybe mistaken.
As you said after hearing it a couple times it grows on you I remember thinking the same thing when listening to Metal Galaxy, even when the song isn't an instant hit it grows on you until you love it.
Nice reaction. I tend to think their albums a just a taste what they'll do live. Cool 7 string. One day it should be in the Babymetal museum along with Su's knifemic. That would be 😎.
Yeah it’s definitly more towards Metal Galaxy than their earlier stuff. Personally I like the more of the Syncopation style and power metal song like Road of Resistance and Amore so I hope for more stuff like that on the full album later as well:) Still, this was hella catchy and Metal Galaxy has some absolute bangers as well so… Cool to see some backstory on Road of Resistance as well, amazing song! One of my favorite songs overall:)
I am so happy this new song is out i can’t wait to see whats in store hopefully they can do a US tour at some point. I’ve seen them live twice and it was amazing both times!! Glad to see you like as well who knows what the fox god will bring to us.
Agree with you Herman. Just a teaser. Love the guitar Herman. Thanks for not selling it to a collector. Only way is auction for charity on the condition it doesn't go to a collector. Arigato ✌️🏴🤘🇦🇺
The instruments are always great and even though I have no clue what they are saying the vocals always sound great. This band is slept on a lot. They are super talented
Omg how did I NOT KNOW that Herman Li did a reaction video to one of my FAVORITE BABYMETAL songs? Yes!!! Super empowering music, Truly. Makes me wanna traverse the Universe! 🐉😎🎆
Thanks for supporting them for all of these years. You are a good man. This song has a simple but interesting structure, and of course the singing and playing is fantastic. Definitely didn't let us down! And of course congrats to Su for the co-writing credit.
I also had the thought that they didn´t gave us the big bang to announce the album. I am looking forward to the other songs and the album. Also, i listened to this song the second time now and i got goosebumps. The first listen to is just to get you hooked and it pulls you in probably more and more the more often you listen to it.
Herman!! Thanks for doing a review on Divine Attack. It’s always great to hear input from an artist who is also a fellow fan. Such a cool tidbit about the ROR guitar, thanks for sharing it. She’s a total beauty especially with that chameleon color blocking and custom hand mold. 30k is nothing to a priceless piece of history. PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! 😂
2:50 So true i can agree. Their songs and style are growing as they do. Their genre is now filling with more deep solid colors mixing with those sounds they already make/have. I cant wait for more ♥
I get a crazy Architects vibe from this. This and Monochrome sound like they could be on SiriusXM Octane. I think after Kingslayers success they may be going for a more western hard rock/metalcore sound.
I think you are right on the money describing this as a warm-up song. It’s good and every element is on point but we know that BABYMETAL is capable of so much more. I’m ready for March!
I've said it many times but want to say again: big THANK YOU Herman for all the support you showed to not only Babymetal, but also other Japanese bands like Lovebites, Band-Maid, Nemophila and many more :D Much love
Everytime I listen to Road of Resistance (which has been many, many times) I still get the same feeling of grandeur, hope and inspiration from the moment those opening harmony notes kick in. It's great to see the actual guitar it was recorded with. Such a unique and befitting beast too. It has a history money can't buy. Definitely keep it!
They improved so much after Ladybeard left in my opinion. The singer that stepped into his place joined Passcode in the last year after Yuna stepped away.
I listened to it on Tidal and it's deffo a banger! But it does feel like a "safe" song if you know what I mean. I expect to be blown away by future songs as always when new Babymetal songs drop. They always find a way to make your jaw drop and take you by surprise.
Saw a pretty great interview recently from Korn's Production manager. He spoke about Babymetal & how they suprised them on stage once performing together. It was a rare behind the scenes Metal moment. You don't always hear or see on the outside. Herman is somone who i put more stock in his observations. So great assessment here who also has also supported Band-Maid. Which are currently on their US tour & are killing it!! I remember Herman's orgional interview & audition reaction & it's a classic. 😭💕 Road to Resistance is still one of my favorate but would love to see a new collaboration with the ladies now. 🙀🔥 Great reaction my man & I think there is more yet to come. My only request is that the album cover is of the Throne Room from The Black Box!! Reminds me of Game of Thrones there as so baddass!! :b 🤘💕🦊
I think Herman's right and to me, they sound more mature musically. Less/zero kawaii, more focus on the metal. Well done and I'm looking forward to a lot more!
Never forget that Herman was one of the first Western artists to give BABYMETAL a chance by helping them with Road Of Resistance. Love the shirt, and thanks for the constant positivity for them over the years
Not just the work on Road of Resistance, but bringing Babymetal onstage at Download 2015 after one of the event organizers said BM would never perform at Download. That was the greatest kindness given!
@@AxeSwipe2011 exactly! I'm glad artists like him and oli from BMTH back then supported them like that, when elitists were heavily against them
@@Troy1399 Herman and Oli were definitely critical in helping get the girls cred in the West -- so were Rob Zombie and of course Rob Halford -- but the _very_ first Westerner who saw Babymetal's potential was Marty Friedman, who lives in Japan and met the girls waaay back in late-2011. He's also hyped up other Japanese girl-groups that go against the grain. Still, I love Oli's rant at SummerSonic about how much he loves BM.
I fucking love that song! best song ever imo!
Yes, Dragon Force literally snucked BM in at Download
Thank you for supporting Babymetal at a time when most others in your circle wouldn't.
I especially love that Suzuka *_finally_* has a lyrics credit for this song.
what ? who wouldnt support babymetal ?
Su got her first writing credit for this song. Can't help but think you guys helped give them the confidence to continue this long
I think you're spot on. It's definitely an exciting time to be a Babymetal fan.
I cannot listen to this song/ watch the video without getting goosebumps and having a massive smile on my face as soon as that pre chorus/ chorus kicks in
Suzuka's first time writing a song She's amazing Vocalist
Road of Resistance is a BANGER! I'm still obsessed with that song. It's one of the best songs ever by Babymetal. I'm glad you were part of it.
its my most favourite song to play guitar with
@jokok2333 shit I forgot about this band and song. I'm definitely gonna learn it now that I came back to this post. I got better on guitar so I'm sure I can learn it. Though I bet that solo will tough to get down but practice makes you perfect over time.

I'm Japanese . Thank for your reaction to BABYMETAL😄
Its definitely a song that grows on you. Three plays and I was hooked. If this isnt the best song on the album, it should be awesome.

Road of Resistance is one of my favourites and it was a nice surprise to see that the guitar you used has my favourite color! It looks really nice.
Thank you for supporting Babymetal so much! They are living up to their potential, and it's so cool to see them doing that!

Full title: Divine Attack - Shingeki
Divine Attack - 神撃
Credits: SU-METAL · MEGMETAL · HAYAMETAL
[Intro]
The long night is upon us.
A noisy wind blows.
Here we gather, mighty men,
with blades of steel in our hearts.
Together we vow, together we shout.
Let our journey begin here.
[Verse 1]
The way of escape has been cut off
The silence has been broken
The time has come to fight
Raise your hand
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
_Time to go your way_
Open the road with your hands
[Verse 1]
Even if it's a fleeting dream
Even if it's against your destiny
If it's worth defying
I want you to offer your heart
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
If there's a future you want to see
_Time to go your way_
Break through the wall with your hands
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
_Time to go your way_
Open the road with your hands
[Post-chorus]
Woh, oh oh, oh oh
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
Woh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Open the road with your hands
Watta bot clown 👆👆😂😂🤡
Hey no te cansas de copiar y pegar? O sólo tratas de llamar la atención? Todo bien por casa?
Hi Herman😊
Thanks for the nice video.😊
This is the first song SU-MEATL wrote lyrics for!
I always get goosebumps when I listen to the Babymetal LIVE albums 🤧
I saw them open up heavy Montreal back in 2014. It's incredible to see how they've progressed into the more heavier and mature version of themselves. Cant wait for the album.

Great to see you continuing your support of BABYMETAL. That is a beautiful looking guitar - and good on you for turning down the offer to buy it.
Ive always been a fan of Babymetal and Japanese metal in general. Super stoked they decided to come back
The track sounds awesome. Kind of the techno metal sound, similar to Amaranthe. Heavy but very lyrical, almost a symphonic feel to it.
thanks for help with road of resistance, one of my most favorite songs ever. i have tickets to dragonforce in Prague and for Babymetal in Ostrava too :)
thanks untuk dragonforce karena telah mengenalkan babymetal kepada saya..
dragonfore & babymetal forever ❤️
Was almost exactly my first thoughts. Now I really liKe the song. Can’t wait for the next track
Cool~ Thanks for sharing a bit of ROR's guitar history!
Always supporting The Girls, you are the coolest!
lol saw babymetals back and clicked right away 😂😅

Love both BABYMETAL and DragonForce, great video Herman ❤️ so excited for the album
BABYMETALへの愛を感じます。ありがとうございます。ドラゴンフォースは、私の好きなバンドの１つです。今度はドラゴンフォースとBABYMETALとコラボレーションしてみてください。また、日本でライヴしてください❗
I love the new song - thank you for this reaction vid and always supporting BabyMetal. Awesome 7-string guitar!
Yeah it’s definitly more towards Metal Galaxy than their earlier stuff. Personally I like the more of the Syncopation style and power metal song like Road of Resistance and Amore so I hope for more stuff like that on the full album later as well:)

You are so warm like the BabyMetal family.
Tickets already bought for the Oslo show! Can't wait!
Love you man! BM's new song is great, looking forward to another Babymetal live performance with you
Going to see them with Sabaton in Paris, I'm hyped !
Thanks for sharing information. It was very interesting to hear :D
DragonForce ft. BabyMetal Please 🔥🔥🔥
I am so happy this new song is out i can’t wait to see whats in store hopefully they can do a US tour at some point. I’ve seen them live twice and it was amazing both times!! Glad to see you like as well who knows what the fox god will bring to us.
Road of resistance is still one of my favorite albums and this makes me happy as shit Hahaha
Woohoo, I've seen this live on Twitch xD
Like the review. I have now heard the song 9 times and it still gets me. Sues voice and how clean her english singing is wow.
Agree with you Herman. Just a teaser. Love the guitar Herman. Thanks for not selling it to a collector. Only way is auction for charity on the condition it doesn't go to a collector. Arigato ✌️🏴🤘🇦🇺
Elas estão voltando com tudo, umas das melhores bandas dessa geração não se pode apagar.🖤
The instruments are always great and even though I have no clue what they are saying the vocals always sound great. This band is slept on a lot. They are super talented
Hey we are wearing the same T-Shirt atm. Hope you will Tour with Babymetal soon :D
whoa that was an awesome track. I'm excited for the album now.
So exited to see them in London
Syncopation and Divine Attack are my favorites.. These ladies have matured soooo much.
Omg how did I NOT KNOW that Herman Li did a reaction video to one of my FAVORITE BABYMETAL songs?
Yes!!! Super empowering music, Truly. Makes me wanna traverse the Universe! 🐉😎🎆
It's the start of the new legend of Babymetal.
Thanks for supporting them for all of these years. You are a good man. This song has a simple but interesting structure, and of course the singing and playing is fantastic. Definitely didn't let us down! And of course congrats to Su for the co-writing credit.

Herman!! Thanks for doing a review on Divine Attack. It’s always great to hear input from an artist who is also a fellow fan.
Such a cool tidbit about the ROR guitar, thanks for sharing it. She’s a total beauty especially with that chameleon color blocking and custom hand mold. 30k is nothing to a priceless piece of history.
PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! 😂
Baby metal was at their best at their 1st and 2nd albums....full of unique characters....now, sound just like any other rock bands.
I would kill for a dragonforce and babymetal tour
I like the song! Can't wait for the whole album next year.
Cool signature Ibanez too, keep it Herman!
2:50
So true i can agree.
Their songs and style are growing as they do.
Their genre is now filling with more deep solid colors mixing with those sounds they already make/have.
I cant wait for more ♥
I get a crazy Architects vibe from this. This and Monochrome sound like they could be on SiriusXM Octane. I think after Kingslayers success they may be going for a more western hard rock/metalcore sound.
I liked the song the first time I heard the chorus. It didn't need to grow on me at all. This kind of song is kind of my favorite style anyway though
BABYMETALのTシャツ着てる〜！
ありがとうございます💕
I've never listened to BabyMetal much but if this is their warmup then I want to hear the whole album
The production of this clip is insane!
I think you are right on the money describing this as a warm-up song. It’s good and every element is on point but we know that BABYMETAL is capable of so much more. I’m ready for March!
I've said it many times but want to say again: big THANK YOU Herman for all the support you showed to not only Babymetal, but also other Japanese bands like Lovebites, Band-Maid, Nemophila and many more :D Much love
You guys and the RHCP have been sooo kind to this band! We the fans appreciate your generosity!

It's great to see the actual guitar it was recorded with. Such a unique and befitting beast too. It has a history money can't buy. Definitely keep it!

BABYMETAL! I also love Lady Baby back in the day.
They improved so much after Ladybeard left in my opinion. The singer that stepped into his place joined Passcode in the last year after Yuna stepped away.
Remember Herman Li did Road of Resistance. He is one of my favorite guitarist.
Obrigado pela reação. From Brazil 🇧🇷
Totally agree. The vocal harmonics on the chorus are AMZING!!!!!! 👍👍👍
I listened to it on Tidal and it's deffo a banger! But it does feel like a "safe" song if you know what I mean. I expect to be blown away by future songs as always when new Babymetal songs drop. They always find a way to make your jaw drop and take you by surprise.
They released some teasers of new songs on their social media pages, and some of them have me really excited
Herman, you're the proud Uncle.... ❤️
Did you notice where Su Metal has credit for the lyrics.
Saw a pretty great interview recently from Korn's Production manager. He spoke about Babymetal & how they suprised them on stage once performing together. It was a rare behind the scenes Metal moment.

A very mature Babymetal. I like this direction. Clearly going to go down well at download festival next year.
BabyMetal kicks ass
BABYMETAL....SU-METAL is divine!!!
I think Herman's right and to me, they sound more mature musically. Less/zero kawaii, more focus on the metal. Well done and I'm looking forward to a lot more!
