After Warning maybe "Blooming" (MV) or "Real Existence" (Live) or a beautiful slower song "Day Dreaming" (MV) or an earlier pop-punk song "Alone" (MV) .
@@paulinapinorivera3539 I'll tag on an oldie but a goodie "Shake That" with great drumming and solo work throughout. I'm not a guitar player but I love some of those cords (Diminished or something) in the verse. This is the "Photo Collage version." ua-cam.com/video/mvprQomyWcw/v-deo.html
These women are a Japanese national treasure, creative, musically gifted, they have no overpowering ego's ( no Yoko's either) They are just so good! I admire them so much as they have found and used some secret formula lost to the rest of us mere mortals! So glad I found them, got to believe that all the rest of the internet fans are saying the same.
Band Maid doing Band Maid things! That says it all! Can't put these ladies in a particular music box, they'll just break out and do something else great! So versatile and skilled at everything they do! Our rock never dies, ever! Forever! Hell Yes! I can't wait for them to take over the world!
Your favorite Band-Maid song is the last one you listen to. We all have same Band-Maid symptoms. And don't forget to check out their older albums. Depending on your taste and mood, any song can be your all time favorite.
*BAND-MAID is a KALEIDOSCOPE of genres "Touch the Rainbow"* 🌈 _(Watching _*_BAND-MAID OKYUJI TOUR Autum-Winter 2017_*_ on _*_BAND-MAID_*_ Prime Loving Every minute of it)_
You dont have to say much about this band... One sentence is enough: They are probably (in my opinion they are) the best band in the world right now... If you consider all aspects of music, talent, chemistry, songwriting, lyrics and charisma...
This song was the last one written for their Unseen World album. The concept was to make a song that was a bridge between the early Band-Maid sound and their current direction. Band-Maid always writes the music and melodies first, and Miku adds lyrics that she thinks go with the music. I'm not sure how common this is, but it seems unusual to me. So Kanami is free to dream up whatever she wants with no constraints, and she's seemingly endlessly creative.
I think in the May _Player_ interview, they said "No God" was pretty much the only song where Kanami had requested a particular lyrical subject. (The downbeat nature of Mincho's own attempts at writing lyrics seems to be a source of some mirth among the band.)
Kanami’s work ethic is almost frightening. She adds more than a dozen new riffs to her files every day and writes at least one new song each week. Saiki says Mincho writes heavy when she’s stressed. Considering the totality of “Unseen World” I am amazed by this woman.
I look forward to your reaction every time. I'm a big fan of BAND-MAID in Japan. I'm really happy that people like you who have ears to listen to music really enjoy and appreciate their music. I've been listening to music for 56 years and met them. They are real. Their awesomeness is that they don't take shape. Many bands can't get out of the genre that is in shape. They have already exceeded it, as you feel. Please continue to listen to their music. I'm looking forward to it.
Manners is probably my favorite BM song, as an old school groove hard rock type guy myself. My favorite Band Maid is when they ride that line between groove oriented hard rock and metal. I don't know why The Dragon Cries gets so much grief from many BM fans, it's a great song. Maybe many BM fans just arn't used to songs that don't jump into a major key for the chorus lol. My only complain with TDC is I don't know why Visconti had to drown everything in so much reverb. Some of Saikis best vocals though, although Saiki's vocals in Manners might be my overall favorite, especially her part towards the end where the instrumentation is leaving a lot of space behind her.
I heard "Manners" right after it dropped on UA-cam, it fed this old Hard Bluesy Rock (Is that a genre?) lovers soul in a way it hasn't been fed in a long time. Each time the chorus comes around, it just gets better and better. After "Manners" and "Warning!" I knew the "Unseen World" album was something special. BTW Clutch! 🤘😎🤘
With every song on UW, we're witnessing another evolution of Band-Maid right before our very eyes and ears. Band-Maid brings light, smiles and energy to our lives and is, imo, a world treasure! "Aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, awesome!" Thx, Ryan.
If there’s ever 5 women that deserve super stardom,it’s these 5 wonderful musicians. Really remarkable and deserve all of the spoils that come with success. Just need to convince the US mainstream that The Maids are the real deal. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time...the more that see them perform live,the more appreciation they should receive.
Manners is one of my favorite Band Maid song, and one of my favorite all time song. Theses girls rock so good. Band Maid make Rock and roll great again 💖
Manners is my favorite,too,followed by Turn Me On and Dice. Another reviewer,Chase Carneson,pointed how brave Band-Maid was with Manners; they performed 4 distinctive riffs which could have been used for 4 songs. They chose not to be lazy. He's a musician like you and gives awesome reviews,pointing out much detail. I really like your reviews of them,as well. You're quite talented,as I saw when you included a small clip of you on the guitar. I look forward to your next Band-Maid review.
Agree. Turn me on is a great straight forward rocker that's a lot of fun and let's Kanami get her wah wah on Unfortunately, it doesn't get a lot of play since they took down the live video.
My new playlist too.. Lol Everything else has taken a backseat... So many songs to listen too, and all fantastic.. Everyone better than the last.. Best wishes from France..
The ladies just keep getting better and better, don't they? They absolutely frickin rock! Misa seems to be getting more adventurous riffing done in the background of their recent tunes, more so than previously. Speaking as a 66 year old prog/jazz/metal bassist, this makes me very happy indeed...👍🏻🤯💖 BTW, another great reaction my friend...keep them coming. Especially Bandmaid, of course...but also NIGHTWISH, my other current favorite band. Thanks...👍🏻
Band-Maid and MISA have pushed the Bass guitar forwards as something more than a bridge between the drums and lead guitar. The band are a perfect storm no wonder Miku is excited by the future.
This track is a great example of their wide array of their musical pallet. Their world class level musicianship has allowed them the freedom to incorporate the best elements of Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Metal, Funk, Punk and Pop to form into a track that is familiar yet unique with their own signature. Since you enjoyed this track my I suggest "The Dragon Cries" it has similar characteristics to "Manners" and I feel you will dig it as well. I also would like to offer a list of my personal favorites for future consideration below: Puzzle (Live), Moratorium (Live), Dice (MV), Secret My Lips (MV), Don't you tell (Live), Non-Fiction Days ( MV or Live), Real Existence (MV, Live) Daydreaming (MV or Live), Blooming (MV), Turn Me On (MV or Live), Choose Me (MV or Live), Glory (MV), Bubble (MV), Fate (Live) I better stop there otherwise I will list them all.
Until I discovered Band-Maid, Clutch was my go to...🤔...not sayin' that I still don't love Clutch(I've got tickets to see them in August), but these ladies have changed the way I listen/approach music!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
@@patron40silver I don't know why I was thinking August, it's September, they start the 1st half of their US tour in Norfolk. It looks like mainly east coast dates before they go to Europe. A week after that, D.R.I. is playing, goin' old school!!!🤘🤘🤘
@@RyanMear I have a few of Clutche's older albums, the rest on Spotify. Have you heard of William Elliott Whitmore? He opened for Clutch a few years back, very unique voice. Check out Hell or High Water, Mutiny, or Johnny Law. He's more folksy. 👍👍🤘🤘🤘
There is 2CD release of "Unseen World" where 1st CD is more a tribute to their older songs and their writer's made by band in current stage of maturity and skill. With 2nd CD more aimed at future and progress for a band. Manners is placed on both 1st and 2nd CD
If I had to pick a favorite Band Maid song this is it. But then there's another 50 I also love. About a 100 I just like very much. Great reaction brother! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Groove!😊😎🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's the Unseen World album for you😂😂😂but well...if you discover the whole discography..100+ songs/ catalogue will blow your mind..like mine ..i was freaking burnt out 🤯..they are crazy AF...😂😂
You've got to get your son to hear some Band-Maid and so some reactions! I had a feeling you were going to like Manners. It's my fave from the new album. I really want to hear it live.
Yeah, band maid are extremely sound technically, and blah blah blah... But what sets them aside is that they really GROOVE as a band. Manners is also one of my favorite songs. Unseen World, for that matter, is my favorite BM album. it has everything, from a grooove masterpiece like "manners" to sheer insanity like "Giovanni" or"black hole"... All it's missing is a ballad, and they released one shortly after... So I consider it part of the album :) You want to hear insanity? listen to the instrumental version of Giovanni. Insta- brain melt : )
If you loved this (what am I saying it's Band Maid of course you did) check out The Dragon Cries by them. I'm not a musician so take this with a grain of salt but I get similar vibes from that song. Super groovy. Plus the lyrics are all in english. Not that it matters but it's just another thing they can do. Surprising? No. Cool as shit? Well duh it's Band Maid. Keep em' coming!
I was laughing so hard at your reaction 🤣🤣🤣... Because I did the same thing when I heard this song. I think both you and I as musicians hear things in Band-Maids songs that a lot of other people don't hear. I replayed this 5 times with headphones on and had to dissect each incredible instrument. Again loved your reaction, I'm still laughing 😂. I really enjoy your reactions. 👍👍🤘🤘🙏🕊️PO P. S. - I swore a lot too
lol indeed. I think I've replayed the section of "Play ( official live video)" from 45 seconds to 50 seconds ( when Misa starts the band back in after the call and response with Miku) about a billion times because as a musician it's amazing how tight Misa, Akane, and Kanami are in that little spot.
Variety is the name of the game with Band Maid. It is impossible to get bored with their music. They are always looking for something new while keeping that hard rock, heavy metal base. And they are more interested in what their fans want than any other band I know of. Remarkable. To add if anyone criticizes their music it is mostly because they only want them to play one kind of song. Sorry...it ain't gonna happen.
I love Clutch. Been listening to them since the 90s when I first heard A Shogun Named Marcus back whan it was released. Still a favorite of mine. Also really like A Quick Death In Texas. But they have a lot of really good stuff. I've always loved southern blues rock. Old ZZ Top is some fantastic blues rock too.
A great "old school" feel interpreted in a new way! Only BAND MAID can do this, there are other bands that have virtuosos and amazing song writers, but few have such mastery of the medium in every role, this is a once in a lifetime band putting out some great music! BAND MAID forever.
Listen to the pigeon cackle, what an evil laugh coming from a pigeon who want's to take over the world, she isn't shy about her aspirations, domination, unseen world, etc.. bow before your pigeon empress.
You nailed that one, Ryan! I feel the same way about this song, it being far and away my favorite off of their new album (which is saying something). I've had bands melt my face off, but Saiki's vocals alone in that last bit where she was getting nasty would melt my face off just by themselves. This song (well, again nothing new for BM), puts a big fan grin on my face after hundreds of listens and I strongly suspect always will. My only request would have been double or triple the length of that guitar solo, but hey...
Thesaurus...is that Godzilla's missus? They give you all the words you need...Progress...Courage...Clever (Clayver). Saiki is spellbinding in this one. My favourite two songs on the album...!
Honestly, this is the kind of music I ike the most of them. This is also the reason, why I like the two previous albums more than Unseen World, although I get more and more used to the songs. But my real Love is Rock with good guitar riffs and a good voice, like they did before.
This song makes me nostalgic and comfortable.Any smell of town and the scenery I saw when I was a kid. It makes me remember that. I really love this song.
You shoul watch "Dragon cry,Puzzle/my personal favorite/ Alone,Don't You tell me/Zepp concert version with Misa&Kaname duel ;) /Cross...and many more ;) Btw good reaction and Welcome inthe rabit/or pigeon/ hole. :)
Hey man, enjoyed your reaction again. On the special edition of their CD "Unseen World" the songs are split into two CD's named "Roots" (Afterlife is off the roots CD), and "Progress" (No God, Warning is off Progress). One track appears on both CD's , that song is "Manners". The band said, in an interview, that "Manners" represents the core sound of Band Maid on the CD. When I first heard Band Maid, I was like you, smiles and finding each song to be my "new" favorite. After Warning, you should give the slightly older song "Daydreaming (MV)" a listen. It will just add to the appreciation of how wide a genre range they can play...(Until you hear their acoustic songs, then it shows their genre range even more lol)
I love how your son walked in. I've got two sons and this used to happen all the time. Both my boys have moved out now. You can never say enough times how much you love them.
They combine so many genres and excel at all of them. Beautiful and amazing!!! My favorite Band Maid song is whichever one I am listening to at the moment. No other band compares to them!!!
Holy Wow! That was fire from start to finish. For some reason that ending with Miku and Saiki harmonizing made my eyes wet! I love this song! Great reaction and I love your added comments along with your musical insights.
For sure this song when it dropped jumped up on my favorite song list... Such a damn good song. Reminds me of that classic 70s groove rock sound. I listened to this song for like 2 hours straight when it dropped. i love all their songs, some of my favorites are Puzzle, Wonderland, Clang, Daydreaming, Take me Higher, etc. ... Too many to name lol. This song just completely captivated me.
Hey man I just wanted to say that you are without a doubt one of the coolest Band-Maid reviewers I have seen here on UA-cam. Also that interaction between you and your son was very endearing.
Respect tp Clutch but Band Maid is the very best in the world. This is the tip of the iceberg. Five consumate musicians, the best rhythm section anywhere ,great singer, genius composer who writes rock but in much more complex musical forms. Unmatched. Perfection every time and their live shows are legendary.
I went through months of new favorite songs, but I think Manners (Helter Skelter on bass steroids) No God and Black Hole, all so different, all incredible. What this band is doing is just awe inspiring ! by the way, love the channel Ryan :)
Ryan, thank you for listening to Manners. I'm sure you will like it. I'm not good at listening to English, so I'd appreciate it if you could add subtitles. My next hope is "puzzle". There is a band version and an acoustic version (sung by Kanami and Saiki), and we recommend listening to them continuously. Both are killer.
Never get too much of Manners ! Great to hear Ryan's appreciation, too ! One thing I don't hear much of re this video: the visuals ! As a music vid consists of two things----sight and sound----it is strange how little appreciation one hears of the sight, too !! This vid is soooo wonderfully photographed,-- lit, shot, sequenced,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it is a gem visually as much as aurally ! -----And the weird result?-------the only studio version that is every bit as fabulous as the live version from BandMaid. Ha!...and they said it couldn't be done !! Maybe someone out there can choose one over the other?---I can't !
Great reaction and what's your favorite Band-Maid songs? Is it the last song you heard? Just wait, there's more. I'm thinking the next one will be Warning.
Thanks for doing this pearl! This song has climbed to the top of my list. It has so much cool little details from each musicians, while it is a damn great in general too. Just loving it.
Band-maid recipes are very addictive. Ingredients are not always the same, but always cooked just right, with the right mix with embellishments on top of it, leaving this irresistible aftertaste. (But of course not for everyone cos there are people who are allergic to some ingredients...lol)
HAHAHA... love this reaction! That smile on your face throughout the song says it all. This is a brilliant song. PERIOD. So hard to call out on thing over another in this song as there are just so many moments of HOLY SHIT. But yeah, Saiki's vocals are on point here. I've long been saying I wanted a more blues-rock style song for her.. her tone is PERFECT for that style and this songs just shows it. Warning! next? LOL. You might have another favorite song (not just Band-Maid song). :)
Nice reaction man. Next band-maid reaction I recommend "The Dragon Flies", their english song. There is a deep message for the world in this song. And yes, this song have nice guitar riffs and combined bass solo and drums solo from MISA and Akane
You mentioned pop singers dabbling in rock. Two that are pretty cool are Demi Lovato's "Get Back" and Harry Styles 2017 Victoria's Secret opening song. Demi could have been a rock goddess. But Band Maid RULES ROCK!!
Nice reaction. This song is amazing and I can see why is their more "Clutch-esque" song (Clutch is one of my favorites bands as well). This kind of rock is part of their DNA, because Kanami and MISA have some blues rock influences (MISA has said that she's very fan of Jimi Hendrix thanks to her mother). They have more of these songs, check out "The Dragon Cries" and "flying high" (this one on Spotify, because there's no MV or live videos of this song).
You may have noticed by now that their MVs often have little "Easter Eggs" or "In jokes" with the fans. Akane eating, Kaname gushing on Saiki, Miku and a pigeon (or dove). Misa drinking, etc. ;) Look for them and you'll notice its a recurring theme that I think illustrates their strong relationship with their fans and simply fantastic personalities.
Hi Ryan, what can I say.... pure talent no frills just Rock like sounds and writing, these girls don't miss a beat and Saiki at the end is a delight. If you can react to "The Not Fiction Day" and Saiki in an interview says that the song that represents Maid is "Real Existence". have nice day
After Warning maybe "Blooming" (MV) or "Real Existence" (Live) or a beautiful slower song "Day Dreaming" (MV) or an earlier pop-punk song "Alone" (MV) .
I absolutely agree with everything in this comment
@@paulinapinorivera3539 I'll tag on an oldie but a goodie "Shake That" with great drumming and solo work throughout. I'm not a guitar player but I love some of those cords (Diminished or something) in the verse. This is the "Photo Collage version." ua-cam.com/video/mvprQomyWcw/v-deo.html
Kanami: Misa-chan! I forgot to leave a space for your solo!
Misa: No worries, I'll just do mine at the same time as yours.
One of the best songs on Unseen World, an album that has fourteen best songs.
These women are a Japanese national treasure, creative, musically gifted, they have no overpowering ego's ( no Yoko's either) They are just so good!

You mean to tell me this isn't talent? 😉 ua-cam.com/video/HdZ9weP5i68/v-deo.html
They'll catch on probably late October this year
Band maid is forever..
Band Maid doing Band Maid things! That says it all! Can't put these ladies in a particular music box, they'll just break out and do something else great! So versatile and skilled at everything they do! Our rock never dies, ever! Forever! Hell Yes! I can't wait for them to take over the world!
They'll "just break new gate"
Thought you'd appreciate Manners, just waiting for the reaction 🤘 The Dragon Cries in same style, official vid BM channel 🤟

Yes, that's right. 😁
Well said! And yet they have their own recognizable sound (vibe? feel?) no matter what they're playing
"Recognizable sound" is a wonderful expression. It's true in every song, and it's always BAND-MAID, even though it's surprising.
MISA!!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 the riffs and slides reminds me of the Rock I grew up with in the 70's 🤙🏼
Don't forget i took Kanami to Yomiuri Land. There were plenty of slides there. I know it's not the same thing :)

Thought the same thing when I heard this the first time. Definitely was blown away.
Vocal...bass guitar drums....MANNERS BEST ROCK SONG last 20 years
Love this song. If Band-Maid would go back and forth between this type of song and No God/Warning type song, I'd be the happiest camper.
If there’s ever 5 women that deserve super stardom,it’s these 5 wonderful musicians. Really remarkable and deserve all of the spoils that come with success. Just need to convince the US mainstream that The Maids are the real deal. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time...the more that see them perform live,the more appreciation they should receive.
It is such a joy to discover a favorite band again. You think there is nothing which can top the classics, and then Band-Maid shows up
absolutely agree... its like they studied what made the best songs in the world the best songs in the world, and then did all of that. AND THEN SOME.

One of the more classic rock sound by them. Similar to "The Dragon Cries" which you might like as well. That one was sang entirely in English.

Super groovy. Plus the lyrics are all in english. Not that it matters but it's just another thing they can do. Surprising? No. Cool as shit? Well duh it's Band Maid. Keep em' coming!
Yes, both songs are kind of blues rock style.
I was laughing so hard at your reaction 🤣🤣🤣...
Because I did the same thing when I heard this song. I think both you and I as musicians hear things in Band-Maids songs that a lot of other people don't hear. I replayed this 5 times with headphones on and had to dissect each incredible instrument. Again loved your reaction, I'm still laughing 😂. I really enjoy your reactions. 👍👍🤘🤘🙏🕊️PO
P. S. - I swore a lot too
lol indeed. I think I've replayed the section of "Play ( official live video)" from 45 seconds to 50 seconds ( when Misa starts the band back in after the call and response with Miku) about a billion times because as a musician it's amazing how tight Misa, Akane, and Kanami are in that little spot.
Variety is the name of the game with Band Maid. It is impossible to get bored with their music. They are always looking for something new while keeping that hard rock, heavy metal base. And they are more interested in what their fans want than any other band I know of. Remarkable. To add if anyone criticizes their music it is mostly because they only want them to play one kind of song. Sorry...it ain't gonna happen.
I love Clutch. Been listening to them since the 90s when I first heard A Shogun Named Marcus back whan it was released. Still a favorite of mine. Also really like A Quick Death In Texas. But they have a lot of really good stuff. I've always loved southern blues rock. Old ZZ Top is some fantastic blues rock too.
I think Rising Sun may be my favorite.
Ryan I am like you! You react to bandmaid and I'm there!👍😉👊
👊
Me too, if you react for all songs of band-maid i will there.
A great "old school" feel interpreted in a new way! Only BAND MAID can do this, there are other bands that have virtuosos and amazing song writers, but few have such mastery of the medium in every role, this is a once in a lifetime band putting out some great music! BAND MAID forever.
Your loving these ladies. Yeah any genre they want they make it cool. Even there ballads.
Listen to the pigeon cackle, what an evil laugh coming from a pigeon who want's to take over the world, she isn't shy about her aspirations, domination, unseen world, etc.. bow before your pigeon empress.
For me you facial expressions says enough already.
I can tell you like Band Maid, why not do a full album review for unseen world as well as few other instrumental clips?
You nailed that one, Ryan! I feel the same way about this song, it being far and away my favorite off of their new album (which is saying something). I've had bands melt my face off, but Saiki's vocals alone in that last bit where she was getting nasty would melt my face off just by themselves. This song (well, again nothing new for BM), puts a big fan grin on my face after hundreds of listens and I strongly suspect always will. My only request would have been double or triple the length of that guitar solo, but hey...
Thesaurus...is that Godzilla's missus? They give you all the words you need...Progress...Courage...Clever (Clayver). Saiki is spellbinding in this one. My favourite two songs on the album...!
Honestly, this is the kind of music I ike the most of them. This is also the reason, why I like the two previous albums more than Unseen World, although I get more and more used to the songs.
But my real Love is Rock with good guitar riffs and a good voice, like they did before.
Subbed🤘
Band-Maid 👐
Hard Rock in its final form!
This song makes me nostalgic and comfortable.Any smell of town and the scenery I saw when I was a kid. It makes me remember that.
I really love this song.
Try About us by the Maids . This is a change of pace with a slow groove . This song is for all the Band Maid fans according to the Maids.
You shoul watch "Dragon cry,Puzzle/my personal favorite/ Alone,Don't You tell me/Zepp concert version with Misa&Kaname duel ;) /Cross...and many more ;) Btw good reaction and Welcome inthe rabit/or pigeon/ hole. :)
Hey man, enjoyed your reaction again. On the special edition of their CD "Unseen World" the songs are split into two CD's named "Roots" (Afterlife is off the roots CD), and "Progress" (No God, Warning is off Progress). One track appears on both CD's , that song is "Manners". The band said, in an interview, that "Manners" represents the core sound of Band Maid on the CD. When I first heard Band Maid, I was like you, smiles and finding each song to be my "new" favorite. After Warning, you should give the slightly older song "Daydreaming (MV)" a listen. It will just add to the appreciation of how wide a genre range they can play...(Until you hear their acoustic songs, then it shows their genre range even more lol)
I love how your son walked in. I've got two sons and this used to happen all the time. Both my boys have moved out now. You can never say enough times how much you love them.
They combine so many genres and excel at all of them. Beautiful and amazing!!! My favorite Band Maid song is whichever one I am listening to at the moment. No other band compares to them!!!
I've never seen a band put so much music in their music,if that makes sense. So much happening, perfectly.
I understand EXACTLY what you mean
Holy Wow! That was fire from start to finish. For some reason that ending with Miku and Saiki harmonizing made my eyes wet! I love this song! Great reaction and I love your added comments along with your musical insights.
For sure this song when it dropped jumped up on my favorite song list... Such a damn good song. Reminds me of that classic 70s groove rock sound.
I listened to this song for like 2 hours straight when it dropped.
i love all their songs, some of my favorites are Puzzle, Wonderland, Clang, Daydreaming, Take me Higher, etc. ... Too many to name lol.
This song just completely captivated me.
one of my top 10 fave Band Maid songs! ♥
Hey man I just wanted to say that you are without a doubt one of the coolest Band-Maid reviewers I have seen here on UA-cam. Also that interaction between you and your son was very endearing.
If you rent BAND-MAID your mansion you better check the garage to see if your Jaguar & cadillac are still there :)
Was that a Warning??? 🚘💥🚘 lol
And NEVER let them rent your ballroom.
@@curtisrrobles7885 Ooh nice. If only he'd set his alarm :)
@@_DriveTime OMG the poor fella hasn't even checked there yet.😆
Sadly, the Jag and Caddy have been taken to the Black Hole junk yard for compression
Respect tp Clutch but Band Maid is the very best in the world. This is the tip of the iceberg. Five consumate musicians, the best rhythm section anywhere ,great singer, genius composer who writes rock but in much more complex musical forms. Unmatched. Perfection every time and their live shows are legendary.
I went through months of new favorite songs, but I think Manners (Helter Skelter on bass steroids) No God and Black Hole, all so different, all incredible. What this band is doing is just awe inspiring ! by the way, love the channel Ryan :)
That guitar-bass solo is like wooohh. I hope their rock never dies ever forever whatever however whichever whenever...
Ryan, thank you for listening to Manners.
I'm sure you will like it.
I'm not good at listening to English, so I'd appreciate it if you could add subtitles.
My next hope is "puzzle". There is a band version and an acoustic version (sung by Kanami and Saiki), and we recommend listening to them continuously. Both are killer.
I'm sorry, I've tried to make sure thr subtitles afree on, but I can't control it.
Never get too much of Manners ! Great to hear Ryan's appreciation, too !
One thing I don't hear much of re this video: the visuals !
As a music vid consists of two things----sight and sound----it is strange how little appreciation one hears of the sight, too !!
This vid is soooo wonderfully photographed,-- lit, shot, sequenced,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it is a gem visually as much as aurally !
-----And the weird result?-------the only studio version that is every bit as fabulous as the live version from BandMaid.
Ha!...and they said it couldn't be done !!
Maybe someone out there can choose one over the other?---I can't !
This song is so good, you looks so happy haha. Band maid pumps out a lot quality materials, it's amazing.
Great reaction and what's your favorite Band-Maid songs? Is it the last song you heard? Just wait, there's more. I'm thinking the next one will be Warning.
Thanks for doing this pearl! This song has climbed to the top of my list. It has so much cool little details from each musicians, while it is a damn great in general too. Just loving it.
Ryan,Thank you for subtitling.
Good reaction!
This song is so great. Definitely my favorite song of 2021 so far.
I love saiki's end vocals when she sings to the unseen world with her falsetto and inflections gives me chills
World Domination, Baby :D
Feel Power of the rock and roll !
Loved this reaction.
Band-maid recipes are very addictive. Ingredients are not always the same, but always cooked just right, with the right mix with embellishments on top of it, leaving this irresistible aftertaste. (But of course not for everyone cos there are people who are allergic to some ingredients...lol)
HAHAHA... love this reaction! That smile on your face throughout the song says it all. This is a brilliant song. PERIOD. So hard to call out on thing over another in this song as there are just so many moments of HOLY SHIT. But yeah, Saiki's vocals are on point here. I've long been saying I wanted a more blues-rock style song for her.. her tone is PERFECT for that style and this songs just shows it.
Warning! next? LOL. You might have another favorite song (not just Band-Maid song). :)
MISA's bass line is just pounding in this tune. One of my favorites by the Maids.
OK, I'll say it! Best band in the world! Never ending.
Nice reaction man. Next band-maid reaction I recommend "The Dragon Flies", their english song. There is a deep message for the world in this song. And yes, this song have nice guitar riffs and combined bass solo and drums solo from MISA and Akane
You mentioned pop singers dabbling in rock. Two that are pretty cool are Demi Lovato's "Get Back" and Harry Styles 2017 Victoria's Secret opening song. Demi could have been a rock goddess. But Band Maid RULES ROCK!!
You really need to check out the dragon cries it sounds right out of the 70's
Well this had been suggested a lot the last hour!
Produced by some unknown guy called Tony Visconti, I think he had a friend named David also unknown too.
Haha
Nice reaction. This song is amazing and I can see why is their more "Clutch-esque" song (Clutch is one of my favorites bands as well). This kind of rock is part of their DNA, because Kanami and MISA have some blues rock influences (MISA has said that she's very fan of Jimi Hendrix thanks to her mother). They have more of these songs, check out "The Dragon Cries" and "flying high" (this one on Spotify, because there's no MV or live videos of this song).
HA!!! I knew this song was going to be a song FOR YOU, man!
Cheers from Argentina.
That last chorus.. Saiki's vocals with that shred and trill in them reminds me a lot of Heart, Pat Benatar days.
Thank you for reacting to this video, it is the only song I love off their new album that I heard so far.
One word - Masterpiece
You may have noticed by now that their MVs often have little "Easter Eggs" or "In jokes" with the fans. Akane eating, Kaname gushing on Saiki, Miku and a pigeon (or dove). Misa drinking, etc. ;) Look for them and you'll notice its a recurring theme that I think illustrates their strong relationship with their fans and simply fantastic personalities.
I haven't actually noticed that.... I'm going to have to look harder now
Hi Ryan, what can I say.... pure talent no frills just Rock like sounds and writing, these girls don't miss a beat and Saiki at the end is a delight. If you can react to "The Not Fiction Day" and Saiki in an interview says that the song that represents Maid is "Real Existence".
have nice day
Love this song, it just grooves. Try Moratorium, the crowd reaction is just wow. Blooming, The dragon cries, sung in English.
I discovered them yesterday. They have been around for eight years. I wasted eight years of my life.
You are in for a fantastic ride!
@@RyanMear Oh man, I have been playing them non stop. And all of a sudden some of the bands I have always liked sound so lame compared to BM.
I know how you feel. I can thank the combo of donald trump and covid to get me to the band-maid pigeonhole
あなたの笑顔を見ていると
あまり好きではなかった
Bandmaidの曲が好きになってしまうよ❗
ありがとう💕💕💕🎸🎸🎸
