  • What's not to love about an all-female, Japanese, heavy metal power band? Nothing! We reacted to Band Maid years ago, and now I'm revisiting them to react to some of their newer stuff. Is it as good as I remember?

    Their latest album, Unseen World, is a masterpiece; their latest EP has 3 bangers; there's a new mini-album expected this summer; and the US tour is in October.

    Nice reaction. Band-Maid can make you become Unhinged for sure. I'll say this forever, I love this pairing of songs. The groovy bluesy Manners was the 9th song from this online concert and the 220bpm controlled chaos of Black Hole was the 21st and next to last song. They have over 110 songs in their catalog so you still have a lot of amazing songs to choose from. The Awesome BAND-MAID never let's you down. Peace.

    Day of the Maid was a streaming concert Band-Maid put on during covid As you could probably tell they were live but there was no audience Which is amazing because you always hear how crowds give bands energy, so they had nothing to work off of, and all that energy 100% them

    Enjoyed your reaction. This video, particularly BLACK HOLE, was the moment I knew I'd discovered something truly special. There are Band-Maid songs that I like even more, but none that leave me more amazed by Kanami's songwriting skills, or the whole band's ability to pull it off so well live.

    @RTEcalcite01 2 роки тому +7

    Glad you came back to Band-Maid. They have developed a hell of a lot in the last couple of years- basically the Covid period, which they spent writing and practicing- yes practicing. They needed to for some of the material on their latest album- Unseen World, Jan 2021. Kanami (Lead guitar), her arrangements really pushed them all on to a new level. Manners- classic blues/rock and Black Hole- Hardrock/metal, both frm the new album, show both ends of the spectrum of their musical capabilities. US tour in October - sold out! Enjoyed you reaction, Thanks.

    It was good to see you come back and give Band-Maid another (look/listen) reaction (that works better). I agree with your comments that they are remarkable musicians. I'm sure you have a long list of songs/groups to look at - But if you would like to hear Band-Maid playing something acoustic, I'd encourage you to check out Catharsis. Take care, and I hope your friend is doing well.

    In an interview here on UA-cam Saiki and Miku indicated that they intersperse English for two reasons one people in Japan think it's cool, second it helps reach out to the English-speaking audience and keep them engaged.

    • @kicorse
      @kicorse 2 роки тому +5

      Yeah, it seems very common for Japanese bands to do this, although Band-Maid probably have a higher than average proportion of English.

    Regarding Black Hole Konami came to Akane and asked her what the highest BPM that she had drummed to. They then bumped it up a bit because Akane wanted a challenge! Also keep a close eye on Saiki's eyes!!

      KANAMI asked Herman Li (Dragon Force) what the fastest song he plays (225bpm) Kanami stated that 220 was her fastest (BLACK HOLE) but she would write a song for 225bpm.

    Band-Maid just keeps getting better! Blues rock to speed rock, so versatile! Akane is a wizard behind her drum kit! Misa is a master on the bass! Vocals always great! Kanami on that lead PRS guitar is always satisfying and leaves you wanting more! Miku, red flower, the rhythm guitar and backing vocals is great, always, adding just the right extras! Saiki, blue flower, sure has a strong presence and command on stage, the Queen Maid! Come on October!

    Black Hole was named for its complexity. Every piece has to hit at precise times, often with a lot of variety from every instrument and vocalization, so it's kind of a nightmare, thus the name.
