It's wonderful to see the band engaging and interacting with the fans even during soundcheck ! Proof that the ladies love to engage with the crowd in a smaller venue.
To all the people complaing about the size of the venue the ladies seemEd to love it. Better to sell a small venue and sell out and decide to upgrade or book a sEcond concert at a largere venue than to sell a large venue and be half empty. I see a lot of parallels with my other favourite band - Band-Maid. Pre covid they toured the UK, Europe and USA playing very small clubs. One of them Hamburg I think it was even had a pillar in the centre of the stage (the famous 6th member). The fans were so close to Kanami when she went into Mincho mode the fans were able to touch, strum her guitar. Love bites approached the gig at New Cross Inn with pofessionalism and engaged the fans and they seemed to be having a great time especially Asami and Fami
@@TheCyberMantis The thing is though, this WAS not much more than an hour before the show. They were having a lot of trouble with the in ear monitors and sound levels, and so I suspect were running very late. The doors opened at the time advertised, and I think we were all surprised to see them still doing the sound check. At the time this was recorded, (I can see myself in this video, in the crowd near the stage) I had been to the merch stall, which was downstairs from the auditorium, to buy some stuff, having to queue for about 15 minutes for that, before coming back up to what you see in the video. The ladies coped with a very difficult situation with great composure. My already high opinion of them has reached new heights.
I am 72 years old and I am an absolute fan of these young women and seeing them in this hutch saddens me deeply. What do managers do? It’s pathetic and borderline humiliating for them! When we see the rooms filled by the 3 sisters of The Warning it seems incredible to lock Lovebites in a room the size of a public toilet!

@PaleHorseShabuShabu I was there when this was happening and even though I was surprised by the situation, there was a bonding going on. What is said by this venue is correct and do not be mistaken both band and fans alike where aware of the situation and many like myself were aghast by the planning. To the person who mentioned grey haired people, these people showed the band a lot of respect. You needed to be there to witness it and feel it!
@@PaleHorseShabuShabuseeing that they were signed to the same label that handles the distribution as Nightwish and Jinjer, they know what they are doing. The reason they are playing smaller venues is because this is the first time they are touring as THE HEADLINE ACT. The last time they were outside of Japan were all for festivals or opening for Dragonforce, who is already 20 years established. They are testing the waters on their own as the headline act, so if we pack the venues, they’ll get bigger venues. That is exactly what happened with the venue in Los Angeles.
@@athlonen This is certainly part of it. Go watch the recent shows of Battle Beast in the USA. BB has been around for more than 15 years, but it was their first time doing their own headlining tour. They were playing smaller venues. Everyone was having a great time, band was really happy too. Good shows. I watched an interview with Noora, and she was really positive about the tour.
@@TheCyberMantis I've seen it firsthand. Prior to starting the tour, Nightwish announced only 3 North American stops: Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto. Toronto was cancelled, yet they toured more around the country and played smaller venues. They now know better, but the issue is that the US (and UK) metal scenes have completely gone downhill since the early 1990s (especially in the USA: Thanks, Nirvana and Grunge!). Because of that, it's harder to get a bigger footprint here, but LoveBites can do it because of how many over here still draw their influences from classic metal and NWOBHM bands.
Just got home from the Belgium show and it was amazing but who ever they put in charge of the sound(FOH) should be banned for life from ever stepping behind a soundboard again!!!
@@lard1892 I agree. I constantly ask people if they know of Lovebites, and not one has ever said yes. Even at guitar stores where you would think someone would have heard them. I guess that is in part why they are playing such small venues. San Francisco is not a large venue and to my knowledge still has not sold out, which is pretty sad. Some of the finest musicians around but with such limited audiences. Then you take The Warning, which isn't a bad band, but in no way comparable to LB, and they have an extreme following. Part of that is being Mexican, so having a large Hispanic following. Many have mentioned that LB's issue may be related to management, but I have no idea. At least they are touring, and hopefully successfully so additional tours may happen!
@@lard1892 They have played bigger places than this in England before. They have been playing for 8 years and need a Manager and Promoter to represent them better. These ladies are one of the Greatest Heavy Metal Bands Ever! 🤘😎
It's only one gig. You gotta start somewhere. First time Lovebites is getting out on their own, outside of Japan. They are testing the waters. They got a few festivals lined-up too, so that will be a bigger gig. I think their USA shows will be really good.
It's the same bullshit as not selling their blu rays over here. You can buy all their albums here, but when it comes to blu rays you have to order them from Japan or you have to find a shop that imports them directly from Japan. For some reason it's the same with Band-Maid or Nemophila.
@@Flo-vn9ty It's because of legal reasons. They can sell CD's in Europe because they have a deal with JPUrecords. But their Blu-rays are Victor-E Japan only.
Hate to say it but what more proof could you have than this pathetic venue to know their manager is incapable of handling this fantastic headlining group? This is criminal lack of care!

The advantage of small halls over large halls😊
These Women are so amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
love this tks!!!!!very Kool to see thank you from Toronto !!lovebites!!!
あまりにも小さい会場に愕然とした。ファンとの距離は短いけどライブハウスのようだと思った。実際ライブハウスなのかな？でも時を遡り私が大好きな故バーニー・マースデンがホワイトスネイクを解雇されてから小さなライブハウスでやっている動画を見た時もショックだった。日本武道館のステージにまで立った人なのに！と。ファンなりのプライドというかね。そういう経験もあるということだろう。LOVEBITESはバーニーから比べればまだまだなのでこれをバネに頑張って欲しいしけして悲観せず一つ一つのステージを大事にしてここに足を運んでくれたファンの為に精一杯のライブをやって欲しい。しかしリハーサルまで見られるのは羨ましいな😂
They need to change agencies immediately.
Agencies from all over the world will be keen to get in touch.
Yeah....soundcheck is not supposed to be watched by fans.
@@MetalPersonJ Nobody should be in there, until an hour before the show.

@@tonym480 No doubt. They can do no wrong as far as we are concerned.
I know the place is so small but but definitely I would had liked to be there, so close to them.
このライブ会場に否定的な声が多いので敢えて言わせて貰うが海外ツアーには経費がかなり掛かります!日本からのスタッフも今のところ担当さんしか居ませんしドラムはシングルバスのレンタル。MYKの足元もツアー仕様に変更してある。円安の影響もありかなり限られた予算でツアーしているようだ！それを改善するにはまずはLOVEBITESの国内の認知度を上げてCDの売上を上げたり、cmもしくはタイアップ、ツアーのスポンサーをつけたりしないとジリ貧なのは事実。LOVEBITESが凄く稼げているバンドという認識は間違いだよ!

My take on The Warning, they got a Patreon up and going pretty quickly which lead to them getting financial backing from their fans, they still do.

ライブのリハに客が居るのにも疑問だし、こんな狭い小屋をブッキングしたことにも驚きだ! EUROPEツアーは二回目だし海外ユーチューバーの動画アップ率を考えたら今回は当然ホールクラスだと思っていたので、メンバー自身も えぇ~これ何?って思っているんじゃないかな。相当前にツアースケジュールは発表してるので小屋を選ぶ選択肢はあったと思うが、それにしても事務所の担当者はどうなっているのでしょうか?
やはり芸能事務所に入ってないのが大きいのだろうね。彼女らはビクター専属のアーティストというだけだから、立場上はほとんどスタジオミュージシャンみたいなもん。ワンオクやベビメタは最初からアミューズ(芸能事務所)のバックアップがかなりあったので、海外展開もスムーズにいっていた。言い換えるとビクターは海外での強みがほとんどないということだろう。レコード会社の問題もあるかもしれない。三大メジャーのSONYやワーナーならこんな売込みはしなかったとは思う。
これから始まる彼女達の
世界制覇への第一歩。
前回(コロナ前)のツアーでは
機材不足等満足行く音が出せなかったと
感じてたから、今回は納得行く迄トコトンにライブ音質には拘って欲しい。
それが全てだな😊
とにかく、圧倒的なライブを
見せつけて下さいね😊
Why in so small of club
Because they're a power and thrash metal band with a record label that doesn't seem to do enough to promote them.

Was this uncomfortable for them in some way? Hard to get the vibe from a video.

運営した責任者を今すぐ解雇しろ!!
場所の大小に限らずその手のトラブルが起きる時は起きます。そんな事を恐れていては前には進めません、本人達もそんな事承知してる筈！しかしここに集まった多くの方がバンドにリスペクトしている様に見える。だから何も起きて無いでしょ!

日本側のスタッフに問題があるのか、現地エージェントに問題があるのか…結局最終的には全ての責は日本側にあるのかなぁ…下見すれば分かる問題ですからね。
現実を解っていない方ご多いですね、そもそもバンドが海外ツアーを行うにはかなり金額が掛かります。本来ならマネージメントが費用を出しますがこのバンドのマネージメントは多分ビクターがマネージメントも行っている様なのでアルバムは出せてもツアー費用を捻出する事務所が無い為限られた予算でツアーを行っているかと思います。
実際、映像に映っているのは担当さんだけみたいですしローディーやマニピもいませんよね!別の動画でmykがドラムを叩いているシーンがありますが多分あれは同期音源の確認ではないかと思います、ハルナのドラムはシングルバスのレンタルですしmykもギター交換余りしてないですよね、海外に機材を持っていくのはかなりお金が掛かるんですよ!場合によってはメンバーの持ち出しがあるかもしれませんよ!このバンドの国内の認知度を考えれば解ると思うのですが!
Hate to say it but what more proof could you have than this pathetic venue to know their manager is incapable of handling this fantastic headlining group? This is criminal lack of care!
