    It was pretty clear that Ron was impressed and I think this song was a good choice for him to be introduced to LOVEBITES.
    Keep these reactions with industry people coming, as not only are they enjoyable to watch, it helps get the word out about these amazing bands that are not as well known as they should be.

    The music video for this song was released after the official announcement that the band's founder and leader, Miho (bass), had left the band and that LOVEBITES was going on hiatus. The video marked their footsteps from their first stage to the 2021 concert, and also contained a strong message that "we will be back". I think it was deeply moving for them and the audience to perform this song on the stage where they stood for the first time in two years, with the new member FAMI in tow.

    I grew up with Allman Brothers and Derek and the Dominoes, and have often compared M&M to those pairings, so it's great to hear a top tier professional musician make the same analogy. And thanks for the recognition for Haruna! She truly seems inexhaustible, and I think she's the true heart of the band. Great reaction.

    • @jawosammadennhier7062
      @jawosammadennhier7062 6 місяців тому +8

      Yes, Haruna lays out the _frame_ for each song to succeed. Unimaginable, if she would not be on the beat reliably, especially in any rough song. Or if she would not support sensitive parts with sensitive drumming. To me, Haruna therefore is my personal heroine. She is an amazing drummer, and a kind, positive and approachable lady.

    Kudos to Ron for recognizing Haruna's "stamina & chops, unbelievable!" right off the bat! She is a wizard with her combo of tastefully appropriate dbl-kick precision & melodic cymbal use.
    On this song Asami equally showing her low-register ability along with "way up in the Stratosphere. Quite a range." I love this deeply emotional song from them.
    Very enjoyable to have LOVEBITES 'exposed' to a drummer of Ron's experience.
    The harmony-guitars being a 'trademark' of LOVEBITES music is an immediately impressive feature demanding hours upon hours of practice together, while seeing the joy they have in performing them.
    Not directly familiar with Ron's work, but I did see DLRB first tour with Greg Bissonette on drums, Matt's brother, with Vai & Sheehan, guitar & bass. Phenomenal show! convincing me that Ron's gotta be quite a stellar drummer to have met the needs of such a variety of performers.
    I concur with boyzyu's suggestion of "Liar" LIVE 2023: ua-cam.com/video/YWHPfnJz2qk/v-deo.html
    though it seems we only get one LOVEBITES reaction with each featured guest, I would enjoy seeing more with Ron Wikso.

    LOVEBITES - Nameless Warrior [live] lyrics:
    This is it, Living under the destiny to fight
    My doubts layin' silent in past
    Arm myself, I am ready to take the step into enemies
    Will you give it up?

    What do you feel under the darkness?
    I search for light that I have never seen,
    Stare inside, I know it's somewhere
    Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight
    This is the beginning
    They will not see me surrender
    Bringing back memories
    I'll never let it go
    Now is the time we'll never forget
    Nameless warrior
    Hide the light that I found in my path
    I call it ''faith'' for now
    That is all left for me
    Shivering, too afraid of the night but I believe myself
    This is up to me [!]
    The truth and lies are in the mirror
    I search for light that I have never seen
    Stare inside, I know it's somewhere
    Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight
    This is the beginning
    They will not see me surrender
    Take my hand, I'll be there and never let it go
    Now is the time we'll never forget
    Nameless warrior
    No time for looking in past now
    Fears vanishing into the sky...
    SOLOs:
    Broken piece of a soul
    Never heal in the rain
    And will there be end to this?
    Flaming up inside of me
    Giving me insanity
    The memories fading in my head and now I'm fallin'
    SOLO: both
    What do you feel under the darkness?
    I search for light that I have never seen
    Stare inside, I know it's somewhere
    Taking step the way I believe
    Glorious innocence shined by the moonlight
    This is the beginning
    They will not see me surrender
    Bringing back memories
    I'll never let it go
    Now is the time we'll never forget
    Nameless warrior

      * Midori has the most impressive pair. She do not miss leg day.
      * The girl Fami is more than 10 years younger than the older ladies. So, easy then to take third place :)

    Joel, I know you had done an Aldious song already.
    Aldious are the first commercially successful All Female Metal band in Japan since Show Ya from the 1980s.
    They began in 2008. A meal 25 year dry spell for Female bands.
    O hope you would check out Aldious Spirit Black official music video. This is the song that kicked off the whole wave of modern Female Metal bands.
    Without Aldious there would be no Band Maid, no Lovebites, no Doll$Boxx, ot any others. Even highly likely that there would have been no BabyMetal either.

    This song is a more "Radio Friendly" song that just moves along. Not that blinding speed, even if Haruna seems to have missed that fact :) She is a beast in this song.
    But - it is a good song that shows of the ladies abilities in a good way. No face melting, but not many musicians in the world that can match.
    Usually when you want to have this epic, more symphonic metal sound that fills the arena with a wall of sound, then you have backing tracks with symphonic orchestras and what not.
    But, the two guitarists in Lovebites can harmonize and just create that all by themselves. And it just looks easy. Which it probably is for them. The synchronization is amazing.
