Excellent reaction and analysis, thank you. This song is almost 5 years old. It was on BABYMETAL's Metal Galaxy album released in 2019 - and it is definitely one of their more mellow songs, but they can do everything which is why they can collaborate with so many different artists and fit right in with whatever style those other artists might do. When Polyphia was confirmed on the bill for Fox_Fest (arranged, hosted and headlined by BABYMETAL in Tokyo at Saitaima Super Arena) we all had a good idea of what would happen. Tim Henson and Scott Le Page provided the guitar tracks for the original recording of the song and Fox_Fest was the first chance they all had to meet up and to finally do this very first live performance with them all together.
SU-METAL is goddess on those vocals. I love Polyphia and prog in general, BABYMETAL have had flirted with prog before, even from the beginning (there is some prog elements in many of their songs, but in Rondo of Nightmare, Syncopation, Tales of the Destinies, The One, The Legend and in some more it is prevalent)
Baby metal is just pire debilism....and this su thing is most overrated thing in universe....itd a shame that so many pervs decide that this is a thing
The reason Babymetal can do these collaborations with other groups and sound like it fits is because all of Babymetal songs are different, you will not hear a single song in their library that sounds the same. Babymetal are masters in combining different genres and cultural styles too many different sub genres of metal, some are brutally hard and others are more poppy but no matter what song it is they are always well crafted and entertaining. Every fan will tell you that Babymetal is better live than on their studio tracks, live videos that say "official" will be studio tracks over live visual, "official live" will be both live audio and visuals so when searching make sure it says "official live" You spoke of the "syncopated sound" that was in this song, they actually have a song called "Syncopation" which I think you may enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/4hSiQHPbsbE/v-deo.htmlsi=ppCHqPR3Ds3DV-pT The Babymetal foxhole is deep but so worth going down, there is so much to discover. the back storey and lore of this group is crazy.
Lead vocals is Su Metal. Moa and Momo metal are the other 2. Momo is newer, Yui Metal is the 3rd original member. This song is further removed from Baby Metal's normal style, than the Electric Callboy collab was. The heavier instrumentation near the end, behind Tim and Scott, is a tad bit closer. I know of Polyphia, heard maybe a song or 2, but never really dove in. To hear their normal style, check out Guy's suggestion, or one of the suggestions in your Ratatata video comments.
Welcome back to the Foxhole and now going back to Metal Galaxy era, it's been a while.🦊🤘🌅 Metal Galaxy is a wonderful album and full of surprises, you're gonna find more songs like this with more mature sound, it came out in 2019 so isn't so new. The album version got the collaboration of Polyphia guitarists, and it's quite clear in the solo section. Tim Henson said when listening to this song that he would love to play this along with BabyMetal on the stage, he didn't know the final cut when he was doing the riffs on this song. The dance on this song is beautiful and graceful, they're showing another mature side and more complicated choreography. According to MoaMetal is the hardest song to dance along with BxMxC and Night Night Burn iirc. Song is inspired by certain "city pop" band (city pop is a subgenre widely known in Japan) and Utada Hikaru songs, when SuMetal heard this she doubt about it being a metal song but then the guitars solo were added and all make senses suddenly. Finally we got them together on stage and with this awesome live performance, it is their first time performing together. They did it again at Graspop Festival in Belgium and they hug each other at the end just like in this version only thing it was cut out, there's also a proshot clip but I'm not so sure about the sound mix. They already finished the Europe Tour and they did it along with EC playing their collab song twice at Resurrection Fest in Spain. Along with RATATATA this was definitely one of the highlights at FOX_FEST and a lot of Japanese fans were looking for, I guess that cool slow pace city pop element gives some nostalgia and that's why many fans love it. In a recent interview, Tim and Scott talked about a new song in their upcoming album along with BM, let's see what they got but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be something real good like this one. In a more recent interview BM said that they would love to collab along with Fall Out Boy, can you imagine?👀 Next suggestion: - YAVA! with Kami Band intro live at Fox Festival 2017. They will be at Knotfest Brazil in October and hopefully they will add more countries nearby. México will also be part of the tour as special guests for Slipknot in November. Keep enjoying BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥
Babymetal has also expressed interest in doing a colab with Slipknot as well. Cory Taylor has confessed that he is a fan after getting introduced to them by his son, Taylor has also toured with when Stone Sour and Babymetal opened for Korn on their 2017 tour. Knotfest is in October so who knows maybe a new song with the two might be in the works before then and the two joining each other on stage at Knotfest could be possible , I wouldn't put it past them.
Team Babymetal is really good at extracting the essence of a style of a band or (sub)genre in general and making their own music with it. This song has the Polyphia guys as a feature and Tim said, it sounds like a Polyphia song with Japanese vocals. I think that's a huge compliment. But it's not only the girls (now ladies) in team Babymetal.
I would say that saying "BABYMETAL are usually doing very heavy music" is not wrong, but it gives you as incomplete a picture as you had before when you thought that they were just contributing the Pop parts to Ratatata (if I understood that correctly). In fact, combining Heavy Metal with other genres, being it Pop, Waltz, Hip Hop, EDM, Dubstep or whatever, is what they always do. There are not a lot of songs that I would consider "pure" Metal. I think the song "YAVA!", which they just recently released a video of a live performance of, is a good example of such a mash-up. And it's also a really good song. So perhaps you'd like to check it out.
Thanks for your nice reaction ! This live is the opportunity to remind us how much the ‘Metal Galaxy’ album is a jewel full of the unexpected, in particular the majestic "Trilogy of Lights".✨🦊
To see where BabyMetal started, check out Doki Doki Morning (official video). That was their first release on a tiny budget, and emphasis on BABY in babymetal 😆.
Darn, I missed the premiere - Life getting in the way as ever! Loved this song for years now so it was excellent to finally see it being performed with Tim and Scott. Perfect choregraphy as ever from the highly-polished ladies and the stage production is off the scale as always. Babymetal are always an audio-visual experience of the highest quality. PS Although it's from a few years ago, I'd still recommend the epic...I mean EPIC!...performance of Road of Resistance, which is packed with incredible musicianship and audience control by Sumetal which is astounding to see. It only has 35 million views so could do with the love! ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.htmlsi=frc9JlCCCNToGwJF 🦊🤘🤘🦊
Hey Tony! Nice to hear from you. I feel you on the life thing but that part is the most inportabt part of life. I wanted to see that one but I also wanted something that was newer so I checked that song out from their Hellfest performance. The video should be out soon. Thanks man and have an awesome week!
@@bobcieslinski Both the Arte video of that performance and others I've seen from Hellfest 24 don't have very good audio but maybe you mean some other Hellfest performance. The ROR live in Japan 2016 is an epic performance, with crystal clear audio and visuals, which is why it's usually chosen. But Babymetal always put on a good show I saw Zeppelin live in 79 but still prefer the video of the Madison Square 73 concert - it's like that, I suppose, where sometimes everything, from perfomance to it being recorded well, make for a classic, never to be seen again show. It's hard not to compare other performances against it when you've witnessed one of the best performances.
I enjoyed that and a great chillout song. I also heard this live at RoadHouse in London last year sounds so good live ( no scott or tim though ) . You have not heard the best of BabyMetal yet . This is in my top ten BabyMetal songs , but there are others i like more 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
I would almost consider this Jazz-metal. On Friday (July 19) they are releasing a DVD/Blu-Ray of their latest live performances. Already released from that are the newest incredible performances of Doki Doki Morning (their first ever song) and Yava! (a ska/reggae metal song). These ladies have no bad songs (like The Warning)
They Blu-ray was already released. You should probably name the concerts: Legend MM 2024. Too much junk on YT, and things get lost. Also, the official channel cut the Kami band intro, which if you search "YAVA! with Kami band intro Legend MM 2024" you get the full thing.
Great reaction! Babymetal leans into their collab artist’s style quite heavily. On their own, they do a wide variety of musical styles. From fast, heavy, and serious, to fun, goofy, or chill. This song is not Babymetal’s typical banger, but an amazing chill song. You’ll probably enjoy their song *Monochrome”. Be sure to check out the live from Pia Arena MM 2023. Heavy, melodic, and heartfelt. 🤘🦊
Thanks and good morning from Japan 有難う💛。 It's 6:15 am here in Tokyo. "Brand New Day" is a good song to start your day refreshingly. I witnessed this artistic play at the venue (2 times in the two-day Fox_Fest). What a bliss!! Soothing and exquisite performance by 5 elegant figures in the center 😍. In addition, classy incorporation by our Kami Band on both sides❤. Various elements created by 3 beautiful performers and 6 instrumentalists (4 guitars in total + bass / drum) with virtuosity were mixed and sublimed into one beauty by means of something like alchemy. The actual applause at the end of the song was much much much bigger than that recorded in this video. They did it together again in Belgian festival on June 20.
How are you my friend !! I haven't run into you in the comments for a while. I hope all is well with you and your family. I'm rather envious as far as Fox-Fest is concerned. I saw them the last time they were in NYC in 2023 and it was a great show. All the best !!!
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I hadn't really heard about it until last night when I was watching a reaction on Local Smokeout. I got the word out to a couple of people I met at the last show in NY to see what's available. Technically they are already sold out but I made a couple of good connections. And what's really cool is my son is coming in to NY for Thanksgiving and I'll have him come in a few days earlier so we can make the show. Thanks for reminding me about it. I'll be 77 in two weeks and I hope I'll have the stamina for another BM concert, lol. Give my regards to your family.
I think it’s pretty cool you guys connected in The comments of this video. Sounds like you guys are veterans in going to concerts and enjoying bands like this. Thats pretty cool. Nice to hear from you both again. Have an awesome week!
Babymetal are musical chameleons that can adapt to whatever style of music they turn their attention to. When they collaborate with other artists, they seamlessly blend into the style of that artist and make it look like they were always doing that. Over the course of their career they have tried their hand at many different genres and cultural influence and succeeded every time. Part of what makes Babymetal so unique is that you never know what they will come out with next. Since you've seen a couple of their collaborations, it might be time to see what they do on their own. I would suggest one of their live performances from PIA Arena 2023: Megitsune - ua-cam.com/video/edbqQ-ldF_U/v-deo.html Monochrome - ua-cam.com/video/xAZeBm0o7Jo/v-deo.html
Great reaction, love your insight! The neat thing about Babymetal is how well they can incorporate various influences into their music, they very much are not afraid to play with different styles and sounds. If you like prog metal check out "Tales of the Destinies" live, it was basically Babymetal's homage to Dream Theater.
Brand New Day / BABYMETAL Lyrics : MK-METAL(Miki Watanabe), Music Composed & Arrangement : MEGMETAL(MEG), Produced by KOBA METAL (Kei Kobayashi) The guitar solo part of this song was performed by two members of Polyphia (Tim Henson and Scott LePag) in collaboration with BABYMETAL on their third album "Metal Galaxy"(2019).
The main singer is Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal) Left dancer Momoko Okazaki(momo-metal) right dancer Moa kikuchi(Moa-metal) The drummer: Anthony Barone Guitarist: Chris Kelly and Cj Masciantonio Bass: Clint Tustin
Excellent reaction / analysis. You said so many amazing things that I'm speechless right now... and that's very unusual. 🤣 Can't wait for a 100% BABYMETAL song reaction. I bet you already have tons of suggestions. And since all of them are great, I don't want to bother you with more. Until next time! 🤘🦊
I love your reactions. You have great enthusiasm-very positive-and wonderful insights. First off from left to right. Momo-the newest member to Babymetal, Su-lead vocals, OG and the Queen and stage right-Moa, OG she and Momo are Su's wing ladies and provide amazing everything to the performance. All you said makes me feel it's time for you to experience Babymetal not in a collab but as the epic solo act they are. They've just recently released an amazing version of a song of theirs from 2016. It is technical, mesmerizing, the band is on fire and it's just a great performance from their 2023-24 world tour. Would love to see you react to "Syncopation" Live (link follows): ua-cam.com/video/4hSiQHPbsbE/v-deo.html
@@bobcieslinski Yeah, they did the whole Festival circuit as part of their World tour. Looking forward to see what you picked. FYI: sound is not always as good at the outdoor festivals as an in door stadium but I've seen a couple of performances from Hellfest and it seems they've done a pretty good job. Again looking forward to it.
The funny thing about this song is that it's from their 3rd album, I believe, and is about 4 years old. Scott and Tim wrote the guitar pieces back then and played it themselves on Baby Metal's album version, but have never collaborated together live until this show in Yokohama very recently. So when you mentioned how smooth they were, it was like old times, lol. Throughout the career of the band, they have done other collabs also. They have collaborated with Bring Me The Horizon, Dragonforce, Thai rapper F.Hero on Pa Pa Ya and Leave It All Behind and several others that don't come to mind readily. I'm surprised you haven't reacted to them outside of this and Ratatata. And they are not tied into one genre, as other commenters have mentioned. They have a wide range of interests. For example, there is "Night, Night, Burn", Japanese/Classic Latin Dance metal number, "Da Da Dance", which is dance metal (these two are live concert videos) and one their earliest songs/videos "Iine !!!" (that's pronounced "e-nay", not Line, lol). I believe it's the second music video they had done back in 2011. They were VERY young at the time. That song has a real melange of genres that I had never experienced before. I'll leave you to hear it when you react, lol. Another great reaction Bob.
Well this is their Kami Band West, iriginally created to support them in the US and European concerts. And they are known that they can play anything. What the original Kamis did and everything else.
Great reaction. You should react to Tales Of The Destinies, Syncopation, From Dusk Till Dawn, Shine (Legend M) You can find the videos in the links below For LIVE I suggest that you use the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource ua-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/v-deo.html There's more information in the description of that video There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
And we xan listen the power of 4 guitars, one drum and one bass abd backing tracks. We know, they are professionals. Moa us reaponsible for their dancing. And when Su failed in their first performance she made for her sister a new Choreo zhat helped her to keep her psce. It was quite important for the girls since BMTH were really their first personal friends that they made by themselves.
64 year old musician living in LA, I've seen 600+ concerts, I fell down the Fox Hole three days ago and have been watching Baby Metal videos and reactions for almost72 hrs straight. I'm SHOCKED! They are amazing, total professionals and the music is composed so well. Having watched about 100 videos so far, I don't think there is a better live act in the world right now. Bob, I suggest you watch "Headbanger Live" next to get an Idea of their harder side. ua-cam.com/video/I2vuKOmd1js/v-deo.htmlsi=Oz5lSesi0vDzHISE After that video, I suggest, Monochrome, ua-cam.com/video/yimhcrsC2SU/v-deo.htmlsi=_I-aoMqiT7XnJS7i and then the original Karate video, the quality is world class and the song is hard and kicks ASS! ua-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/v-deo.htmlsi=f3T5LMVzCyWgKBeQ ENJOY the Fox Hole, see you later, I'm going back in!! (going to all three shows at the Hard Rock in Dec!)
I'm of the opinion that Babymetal could have a career just singing big choruses for other groups. They are so good. A good song to check out the "Babymetal" sound would be their song Megitsune, or Headbanger!!!!!. They are a live band, so in general the live version is better - they seem to feed off the crowd. Monochrome live is a good choice though it's not as hard, and Metali which is a collab with Tom Morello is a banger. They are teasing they may be doing a collab with Slipknot soon. And Polyphia has asked them to guest on their next album.
Yes it was a great Collab for 2019 since then this song was created. Polyphia cot a special master with a dummy guitar track snd a dummy voice track. They extraczed the guitar tracks and replaced them with their own. And the guitar track went back to Japan and Babymetal created a new voice and dance track to finish the track. Polyphia only saw the result when they got the finished Cd. We know at that time Su was deeply worried "Is this really Metal: But at this time the purpose is a complete different one. Show non Metal composers that they can offer their services even to them. They are no longer bound to metal but can lend their takents to any kind of music they can get in their hands.
You probably should go further back to earlier BabyMetal to better understand their performances prior to these collaborations. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of this new direction as I prefer the older styling. But with that said, it’s still entertaining but seems they are bordering a more pop or commercial approach these days. BM has the Kami band behind them. I’m not really sure why they collaborated this way, as the Kami band is outstanding though I heard BM thought it would be a fun project. You really haven’t seen the girls synchronization unless you go back a little, or at least the more individual songs. This dance routine to me was pretty simple in comparison. I’d suggest the following: ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.htmlsi=Hd_dvVcjhMpCS8UO. BM has audiences of over 50k, they are quite popular but really in their own genre.
@@bobcieslinski I agree, this version of 'Road of Resistance' shows you what Babymetal is really about. And as an added bonus, the guitars for this song were written and recorded by Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragonforce for the studio version.
I hope you realize that this song Brand New Day is already 5 years old (released in 2019). So this really isn't really in any way representative of babymetals "new" direction since it's not a new song at all:D
@@Tyyppl You have to see it from their point of view: They don't really like BABYMETAL. They live in the past from over 10 years ago. They also have zero idea what they are talking about because it seems they haven't actually listened to anything beyond old music. Like how almost the entire 3rd album was composed with a 9 string guitar and by far heavier than their 2nd and 1st album, which can only keep up in 'heaviness' because the Kami band doesn't actually perform the songs to the album score sheet, and opts to make them heavier. So the old songs gradually get heavier and heavier as the years go by.
@@Tyyppl I may be incorrect, but it appears the music video is quite recent. In that regard, the collaboration is also new, regardless of when the song originated. Which somewhat confirms this is a commercialization of the song/routine/collaboration. Otherwise they would perform the song in an original version.
What a fantastic collab!

BM don't get tied down to any genre of metal they do it all and they do it all well.
It looks like that for sure Paul. I just recorded one of just them and it was a banger.

I saw Zeppelin live in 79 but still prefer the video of the Madison Square 73 concert - it's like that, I suppose, where sometimes everything, from perfomance to it being recorded well, make for a classic, never to be seen again show. It's hard not to compare other performances against it when you've witnessed one of the best performances.
I enjoyed that and a great chillout song. I also heard this live at RoadHouse in London last year sounds so good live ( no scott or tim though ) .
You have not heard the best of BabyMetal yet . This is in my top ten BabyMetal songs , but there are others i like more 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Wow that had to be cool hearing it live.
Speaking of syncopation, BabyMetal has an awesome song called Syncopation, and they just dropped a new live video of it. 🤘🦊🤘
I’ll have to add that one to the list. Thanks.
Well, try out "Kingslayer" by "Bring me the Horizon" featuring, of course, Babymetal! 🤩🤘.. ah, also live!
I would almost consider this Jazz-metal. On Friday (July 19) they are releasing a DVD/Blu-Ray of their latest live performances. Already released from that are the newest incredible performances of Doki Doki Morning (their first ever song) and Yava! (a ska/reggae metal song). These ladies have no bad songs (like The Warning)
They Blu-ray was already released. You should probably name the concerts: Legend MM 2024. Too much junk on YT, and things get lost. Also, the official channel cut the Kami band intro, which if you search "YAVA! with Kami band intro Legend MM 2024" you get the full thing.
Great reaction! Babymetal leans into their collab artist’s style quite heavily. On their own, they do a wide variety of musical styles. From fast, heavy, and serious, to fun, goofy, or chill.
This song is not Babymetal’s typical banger, but an amazing chill song.
You’ll probably enjoy their song *Monochrome”. Be sure to check out the live from Pia Arena MM 2023. Heavy, melodic, and heartfelt.
🤘🦊
Thanks! I appreciate it!
@@bobcieslinski my pleasure, look forward to more Babymetal!
Thanks and good morning from Japan 有難う💛。 It's 6:15 am here in Tokyo. "Brand New Day" is a good song to start your day refreshingly.
I witnessed this artistic play at the venue (2 times in the two-day Fox_Fest). What a bliss!! Soothing and exquisite performance by 5 elegant figures in the center 😍. In addition, classy incorporation by our Kami Band on both sides❤. Various elements created by 3 beautiful performers and 6 instrumentalists (4 guitars in total + bass / drum) with virtuosity were mixed and sublimed into one beauty by means of something like alchemy. The actual applause at the end of the song was much much much bigger than that recorded in this video.
They did it together again in Belgian festival on June 20.
How are you my friend !! I haven't run into you in the comments for a while. I hope all is well with you and your family. I'm rather envious as far as Fox-Fest is concerned. I saw them the last time they were in NYC in 2023 and it was a great show. All the best !!!
@@mikeat2637 Thank you. We are OK. How about yourself and you family? As you know, BM will perform on Nov.18 &19 in NY at Terminal 5.😄
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I hadn't really heard about it until last night when I was watching a reaction on Local Smokeout. I got the word out to a couple of people I met at the last show in NY to see what's available. Technically they are already sold out but I made a couple of good connections. And what's really cool is my son is coming in to NY for Thanksgiving and I'll have him come in a few days earlier so we can make the show. Thanks for reminding me about it. I'll be 77 in two weeks and I hope I'll have the stamina for another BM concert, lol. Give my regards to your family.
I think it’s pretty cool you guys connected in The comments of this video. Sounds like you guys are veterans in going to concerts and enjoying bands like this. Thats pretty cool. Nice to hear from you both again. Have an awesome week!
@@bobcieslinski Absolutely! You won't believe the connections we make thanks to this comments section. 😁
Babymetal are musical chameleons that can adapt to whatever style of music they turn their attention to. When they collaborate with other artists, they seamlessly blend into the style of that artist and make it look like they were always doing that. Over the course of their career they have tried their hand at many different genres and cultural influence and succeeded every time. Part of what makes Babymetal so unique is that you never know what they will come out with next.
Since you've seen a couple of their collaborations, it might be time to see what they do on their own. I would suggest one of their live performances from PIA Arena 2023:
Megitsune - ua-cam.com/video/edbqQ-ldF_U/v-deo.html
Monochrome - ua-cam.com/video/xAZeBm0o7Jo/v-deo.html
Thanks I’ll check it out. I just recorded a song from Hellfest. It should be out soon.
Great reaction, love your insight! The neat thing about Babymetal is how well they can incorporate various influences into their music, they very much are not afraid to play with different styles and sounds. If you like prog metal check out "Tales of the Destinies" live, it was basically Babymetal's homage to Dream Theater.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion.
I'm glad you liked this one, Bob.
Thanks PaleHorse! It was a banger.

Excellent reaction / analysis. You said so many amazing things that I'm speechless right now... and that's very unusual. 🤣
Can't wait for a 100% BABYMETAL song reaction. I bet you already have tons of suggestions. And since all of them are great, I don't want to bother you with more.
Until next time!
🤘🦊
Thanks for the kind words!
I love your reactions. You have great enthusiasm-very positive-and wonderful insights. First off from left to right. Momo-the newest member to Babymetal, Su-lead vocals, OG and the Queen and stage right-Moa, OG she and Momo are Su's wing ladies and provide amazing everything to the performance. All you said makes me feel it's time for you to experience Babymetal not in a collab but as the epic solo act they are. They've just recently released an amazing version of a song of theirs from 2016. It is technical, mesmerizing, the band is on fire and it's just a great performance from their 2023-24 world tour. Would love to see you react to "Syncopation" Live (link follows): ua-cam.com/video/4hSiQHPbsbE/v-deo.html
Thanks for the kind words I appreciate it. I actually recorded one of theirs today from hellfest. I hope to have it out soon. They are incredible.
@@bobcieslinski Yeah, they did the whole Festival circuit as part of their World tour. Looking forward to see what you picked. FYI: sound is not always as good at the outdoor festivals as an in door stadium but I've seen a couple of performances from Hellfest and it seems they've done a pretty good job. Again looking forward to it.
Welcome back🤘🦊♪
Get your ticket NOW for Babymetal's US tour this November!
It will sell out for sure.
The funny thing about this song is that it's from their 3rd album, I believe, and is about 4 years old. Scott and Tim wrote the guitar pieces back then and played it themselves on Baby Metal's album version, but have never collaborated together live until this show in Yokohama very recently. So when you mentioned how smooth they were, it was like old times, lol.
Throughout the career of the band, they have done other collabs also. They have collaborated with Bring Me The Horizon, Dragonforce, Thai rapper F.Hero on Pa Pa Ya and Leave It All Behind and several others that don't come to mind readily. I'm surprised you haven't reacted to them outside of this and Ratatata. And they are not tied into one genre, as other commenters have mentioned. They have a wide range of interests. For example, there is "Night, Night, Burn", Japanese/Classic Latin Dance metal number, "Da Da Dance", which is dance metal (these two are live concert videos) and one their earliest songs/videos "Iine !!!" (that's pronounced "e-nay", not Line, lol). I believe it's the second music video they had done back in 2011. They were VERY young at the time. That song has a real melange of genres that I had never experienced before. I'll leave you to hear it when you react, lol. Another great reaction Bob.
Thanks Mike! The info you gave was awesome!
@@bobcieslinski It's my pleasure Bob.
Well this is their Kami Band West, iriginally created to support them in the US and European concerts. And they are known that they can play anything. What the original Kamis did and everything else.
Man they are all so good.
Great reaction. You should react to Tales Of The Destinies, Syncopation, From Dusk Till Dawn, Shine (Legend M)
You can find the videos in the links below
For LIVE I suggest that you use the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource ua-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/v-deo.html
There's more information in the description of that video
There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
Thanks for the links and info!
Have you ever watched Unprocessed's "Die on the cross of martyr" in which Scottie's solo is absolutely stunning.
No I have not. I’ll have to check it out.
React to Metali ft Tom Morello
Thanks for the great reaction - you have a LOT of Babymetal to look forward to. They are truly any astounding and heartwarming group. 🦊🤘
Thanks for the kind words! Looking forward to it.
And we xan listen the power of 4 guitars, one drum and one bass abd backing tracks. We know, they are professionals. Moa us reaponsible for their dancing. And when Su failed in their first performance she made for her sister a new Choreo zhat helped her to keep her psce. It was quite important for the girls since BMTH were really their first personal friends that they made by themselves.
I would suggest Syncopation Live at Legend MM 2024, and Monochrome Live at PIA Arena 2023, next.
Thanks!
Nice reaction. They use Babymetal magic to make it all work. It's a secret don't tell anyone.
That makes sense.
👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊
Babymetal have always been experimental and always liked trying new things in their music. That's why they are so successful.
Thanks

64 year old musician living in LA, I've seen 600+ concerts, I fell down the Fox Hole three days ago and have been watching Baby Metal videos and reactions for almost72 hrs straight. I'm SHOCKED! They are amazing, total professionals and the music is composed so well. Having watched about 100 videos so far, I don't think there is a better live act in the world right now. Bob, I suggest you watch "Headbanger Live" next to get an Idea of their harder side. ua-cam.com/video/I2vuKOmd1js/v-deo.htmlsi=Oz5lSesi0vDzHISE After that video, I suggest, Monochrome, ua-cam.com/video/yimhcrsC2SU/v-deo.htmlsi=_I-aoMqiT7XnJS7i and then the original Karate video, the quality is world class and the song is hard and kicks ASS! ua-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/v-deo.htmlsi=f3T5LMVzCyWgKBeQ
ENJOY the Fox Hole, see you later, I'm going back in!! (going to all three shows at the Hard Rock in Dec!)
So cool to hear from a musician and especially one in LA. I’ll check those out thanks for the suggestion! Take care and enjoy those concerts.
I'm of the opinion that Babymetal could have a career just singing big choruses for other groups. They are so good. A good song to check out the "Babymetal" sound would be their song Megitsune, or Headbanger!!!!!. They are a live band, so in general the live version is better - they seem to feed off the crowd. Monochrome live is a good choice though it's not as hard, and Metali which is a collab with Tom Morello is a banger. They are teasing they may be doing a collab with Slipknot soon. And Polyphia has asked them to guest on their next album.
They are incredible and they can morph into anything and play with anyone.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
" Step by Step"
baby metal have been confirmed to be featured on polyphia next album
Oh wow that’s awesome! Can’t wait for it.
Yes it was a great Collab for 2019 since then this song was created. Polyphia cot a special master with a dummy guitar track snd a dummy voice track. They extraczed the guitar tracks and replaced them with their own. And the guitar track went back to Japan and Babymetal created a new voice and dance track to finish the track. Polyphia only saw the result when they got the finished Cd. We know at that time Su was deeply worried "Is this really Metal: But at this time the purpose is a complete different one. Show non Metal composers that they can offer their services even to them. They are no longer bound to metal but can lend their takents to any kind of music they can get in their hands.
Thanks for the awesome comments and info! I appreciate it!
Another epic collab: Bring Me The Horizon - 'Kingslayer' ft. BABYMETAL
You probably should go further back to earlier BabyMetal to better understand their performances prior to these collaborations. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of this new direction as I prefer the older styling. But with that said, it’s still entertaining but seems they are bordering a more pop or commercial approach these days. BM has the Kami band behind them. I’m not really sure why they collaborated this way, as the Kami band is outstanding though I heard BM thought it would be a fun project. You really haven’t seen the girls synchronization unless you go back a little, or at least the more individual songs. This dance routine to me was pretty simple in comparison. I’d suggest the following: ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.htmlsi=Hd_dvVcjhMpCS8UO. BM has audiences of over 50k, they are quite popular but really in their own genre.
Thanks Guy! I got that one on the list now. I’ll try to see some of their origin story.
@@bobcieslinski I agree, this version of 'Road of Resistance' shows you what Babymetal is really about.
And as an added bonus, the guitars for this song were written and recorded by Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragonforce for the studio version.
I hope you realize that this song Brand New Day is already 5 years old (released in 2019). So this really isn't really in any way representative of babymetals "new" direction since it's not a new song at all:D
@@Tyyppl You have to see it from their point of view: They don't really like BABYMETAL. They live in the past from over 10 years ago. They also have zero idea what they are talking about because it seems they haven't actually listened to anything beyond old music. Like how almost the entire 3rd album was composed with a 9 string guitar and by far heavier than their 2nd and 1st album, which can only keep up in 'heaviness' because the Kami band doesn't actually perform the songs to the album score sheet, and opts to make them heavier. So the old songs gradually get heavier and heavier as the years go by.
@@Tyyppl I may be incorrect, but it appears the music video is quite recent. In that regard, the collaboration is also new, regardless of when the song originated. Which somewhat confirms this is a commercialization of the song/routine/collaboration. Otherwise they would perform the song in an original version.
welcome to the fox hole :)
