I am a 67 year old who grew up with zeppelin deep purple sabbath floyd and can honestly say Lovebites are one of the best bands i have ever heard.
71 feel exactly the same as you
@@billyboyles 70 here. And what a ride this is! Some 4 years ago I thought I had pretty much heard it all in the field of Metal. And then these ladies breezed into my life, and I realized that I had been completely wrong. And how did that feel? Great!
I'm 70 an exroadie believe or not I wasn't in too metal till I heard Lovebites they are the bar.🙂🤘
66 here. I grew up with those too and I've been blown away by LOVEBITES.
63. They’re the best ever.
Thanks for checking these metal goddesses out. Trust me. The best has yet to come 😉
Welcome to the Wolfpack!🐺🤘🏻
Hello from France:
Welcome to the Wolfpack !
Glorious, aren't they. For some old school thrash done right, watch Break The Wall from this concert. The two contrasting guitar solos will blow your mind. You are in for so much enjoyment and amazement with this band.
This is probably the most popular song for reactors, which fits since it sort of captures the essential elements of the band. Thanks for doing a 2-fer!
Buckle yer seatbelts, Lovebites are the real deal. Highly polished professional musicians. One of their guitarists, Miyako, composes much of their music and is also a world class concert pianist. It you want to see Miyako shred the piano and then jump onto the guitar, then check their performance of “Swan Song with Chopin Intro.” Led Zeppelin may have their Stairway to Heaven, but Lovebites have their Swan Song with Chopin Intro. Buckle up for this ride.😊❤😊
Japanese women are making all the best Metal and Rock of the 21st century - Lovebites, Nemophila, Babymetal and THE best Rock band in the galaxy, Band-Maid, to name just a very few. My first Metal gig was Sabbath in 76 but I'd given up on the many genres by the time Slipknot came along in the late 90's. Then I discovered Japan and it's treasure chest of some of the best Metal acts ever - and certainly now. The level of musicianship is always supremely good. Dresses aren't so bad as I grew up on a guitarist dressed as a schoolboy and a band who wore animal face paint.
Bloody Lovebites 🐺 I love'em. BLOODY LOVE'EM!
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Lovebites is one of the best bands in our country, especially in performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
The quality of Rock, Metal and Jazz coming from Japan is absolutely outstanding.
It was Megadeth in 92...decades later Lovebites reignited my love for music. 💀🐺
I'm from Japan, Thank you for your great reaction to my goddesses and I'm happy to know they've got two additional Wolfpack( Lovebites fan).
About wolves and white dresses. In Japan, wolves have been considered extinct animals for more than a hundred years. But there are rumors that not all died out, some still survived. Lovebites play endangered music and associate themselves with these surviving and rarely seen individuals. It's like they're talking heavy metal isn't dead, it's still alive. And he will never die.
In addition, the white wolf in Japan is a mythical animal, deity that protects . The White Wolf is present in the Mononoke-hime epic anime written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. In white outfits, Lovebites are white wolves who protect and preserve heavy metal.
👏👍😊
Welcome back.
Thanks for responding to LOVEBITES.
Please continue to support LOVEBITES.
Miyako (G - Key and Piano Black hair) & Midori (G) are world-ranked duel soloists and the world's best guitarists with tight, synchronized playing.
Haruna(Dr)'s tight playing and endurance is world ranked and phenomenal.
It is my subjective opinion.
Best metal band in the world! The talent on that stage is something to behold. It gets better too! Check out some more live performances. They're unbelievable.
They have a catalogue with 60 songs. I can suggest you, how the second song: Chopin etude+Swan song and third Break the wall. Thanks and good journey with Lovebites.
Great reaction folks, this band has no peer and no bad song. These ladies are world class talents and they deserve worldwide recognition. So welcome you to the Lovebites' rabbit hole. There's no genre that they can't play. Please reacting more Lovebites.
Well here you have just reacted twice (Holy war and Stand and deliver) to the best metal band in history with the best guitarist duo in history. I allow myself to say it because at my age I have seen and heard so much but never of this level. If you want to see Miyako (brunette) and Midori (blonde) play side by side watch "We the united", "Signs of deliverance" and if you want to see Miyako play guitar and keyboards AT THE SAME TIME watch "Burden of time"
I believe that Miyako started playing the guitar at age 18! Midori at 20! Now they’re two of the best guitarists in the world today.. 🎶
They’re amazing. My all time favorite metal band and I think Midori is my all time favorite guitarist of any style 🤘🏻
Lovebites and Epica are my all time favorite bands and Miyako is my all time favorite musician.
Midori 💕💕💕💕
My Lovebites 🏴🐺🤘There Mine! All Mine!
Do not worry the speechlessness is a common and very natural reaction to lovebites. This will happen time and time again.
LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics:
Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood
People live in fear, covered in mud
Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
There is a thousand, a thousand of evils
Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
SOLO: midori
Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall
Reincarnation, wait for your call
Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for sisters
Morning star and dying moon
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Mighty soul, let there be hope
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war
SOLO: miyako / midori / both
Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty
We are the metal warriors
Fighting the darkness for brothers
Shining blade and burning heart
Into the Gates of Hell we march
Immortal soul, let there be light
Into the Eye of Heaven
Eagles at a holy war
Fly higher than the sun
We are one for all and all for one forevermore
What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？
But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for
Only have one thing on our mind
Facing the fate, holy war

They are The Living Legends Of The Legends....
Hell yeahhhh...Heavy metal never die...
We all can Rest In Peace...🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Lovebites is not Rock, it's Metal! Lovebites are the defenders of Heavy Metal 🤟
Midori and Miyako are one of the best guitar duo's in Metal music today.
LOVEBITES 🐺 INCREDIBLE
I have a feeling that the Wolf Pack is coming. 🐺🐺🐺
Already there 🐺 Stand and deliver was 15 minutes before 😉
@@stand.and.deliver.5
I just checked and Wolfpack was already here. 🤘🐺🐺
their live performances are second to none. never has a female band had this much talent and they make many male bands look like pretenders. just wait till you see the rest of what they offer.
Hi, sweet couple 🙂, nice reaction vídeo!
Subscribed just in time to watch you starting a journey with this astonishing band. So many brilliant things are coming to your channel, believe me. These women are able to do ANYTHING they want to do. Enjoy the ride and best regards from Spain 🤘🏼
🔥LOVEBITES BEST FEMALE METAL BAND ON THE WORLD🔥 GREAT REACTION 🤘🏻🐺🤘🏻
They actually consider Iron Maiden one of their main influences, along with Purple, Sabbath, Priest, Metallica, Helloween, Dragonforce, Polyphia, Gary Moore and more. They have absorbed all that, put it in a blender and made the best metal smoothie ever.
Well, you got a taste of what they can do. Keep going.
Next, check out their new music video for the song "Judgement Day".
This whole concert is awesome from the Intro, Thunder Vengeance (which is the song that got me) all the way to the end. The new album Judgement Day is awesome from beginning to end. Please do more as I like your response to the best band going. I have not stopped listening to them since December 7th and I am still in awe over them.
From this concert: Thunder Vengeance, Set The World On Fire, Swan Song, We The United, Raise Some Hell, Shadowmaker, Break The Wall, M.D.O., The Awakening with Hammer of Wrath, but any song from this concert will blow your mind.
From the new album, every song is great, but for me Judgement Day, Wicked Witch, Stand and Deliver (which you have seen), My Orion, Dissonance, and Solder Stands Solidarity, but again there is no bad song on this album. This albums perfection reminds me of Def Leopards Hysteria where 10 of 12 songs went on the air and were good.
Welcome to Lovebites! You won't be disappointed with any song from them. Wait till you get to one of the songs with piano in it. 😄
THX for rection ! Amazing band ! Best metal nowadays! Listen and reacts more!
Had a feeling you'd both enjoy Lovebites 😉
The Lady's playing the guitar are known as " M & M, " Midori & Miyako, and they are my favorite guitar duo for obvious reasons ! ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘Try " A Frozen Serenade. "
also 66 and heard all the best of metal, till i heard lovebites, then i asked myself how did they get here. they are now considered the best heavy metal band around. will keep listening
check out A Frozen Serenade and Swan Song with Chopin Intro to see Guitarist Miyako on Piano also.
Midori/blond left college at 20 to learn guitarist at one of the best music academies in Japan and is an ESP designer and star. Miyako is a classical trained pianist since age 3, thinks she is good on guitar. Wait till she plays piano to be blow away. She picked up the guitar at 18 and self taught. She is a music genius and composes most of the bands works. Iron Maiden is one of many great bands these ladies took inspiration from but okay better than especially LIVE. 60+ songs and not one dud in the pack. Wait till M&M harmonize in perfect sync while tapping picking and running the fret it is a stunning display of perfection. Perfection is what defines this band. Asami the 4'10" singer is a R&B, Jazz and Soul singer who never sang Metal till she joined the band,not too bad for a backup singer!!!!
My #1 song is shadowmaker..you should watch it live from the same concert 2020,and you'll know why i like it..they are🔥🤘🐺
To see you reacting makes me smile in a good way. Hope to see more from you
Next Lovebites song: "Break The Wall" Live! 🎸🔥
The two guitarists, Miyako and Midori, are able to harmonize even when not facing each other because they use notations when composing the music. That way, they just need to memorize the notes they have to play at the proper time signature.
great reaction , Lovebites other level of Musicians , my fav metal band . go for Judgment Day .
M&M (Midori and Miyako), best dual guitar on the planet.
Oh my .. i enjoyed your reaction so much... Please do more Lovebites!
This Holy War song is spectacular... but wait until you hear Swan Song ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html as there are some other surprises.
Welcome back and thank you for doing this reaction to lovebites again, this ladys are so talented and i have a great respect to them, LOVEBITES ROCK
Here's something to ponder, both guitarists have only been playing for 10-12 years.
"We are Lovebites and we play heavy metal!" - Asami from Lovebites.
All their songs are very different and all of them are perfect. All members are professionals.
You have to watch them more. I suggest you the song "Set the world on fire" from their UA-cam channel. You will be impressed.
Thank you for the reaction. More Lovebites on the channel.
Their live performances are always stella. They've not got out of 3rd gear yet in your first 2 reactions to this band. Did you notice the big white instrument on the right of the stage? Also one of them trained in ballet for about 15 years. 😊
these ladies are friggin awesome, they do not disappoint, great music and great lyrics, luv these ladies
Hi guys! I just came across your channel and subscribed to watch you discover the amazing music of this incredible band. I had the same expression on my face as you did when I first heard them and immediately fell in love!
I don't have a lot of detailed information of most of the members but I do know a little about the beautiful brunette guitarist. My fav! Lol! Her name is Miyako. She is a classically trained pianist playing since the age of about 3. I could watch her play piano all day. 🥰She picked up the guitar at about 18 and obviously hasn't put it down. She writes a most of their music usually including classical influences. They have a few songs where she demonstrates her piano technical talent. Three songs that I can think of are Swan song, Epilogue, and Frozen Serenade.
Asami, the main vocalist came from an R&B background and writes most of the lyrics to the compositions since she is the most experienced in English. The rest of the members are Midori, the other guitarist. She is one heck of a shredder! The founders of the band are the bassist Miho and the drummer Haruna. Miho is the bassist in this video but left the band sometime last year, I believe, and was replaced the the very young, 20year old Fami. She is the bassist in the first video you watched.
I'm leaving out a lot of details but I'm certain the rest of the Wolfpack will chime in and give you more info and song suggestions. Cheers from Atlanta, GA.
Metal goddess 🔥🐺🤘
Welcome to the Wolfpack! It won't let you go again, trust me.
So many other Lovebites videos to watch...
Lovebites is a great band, and I hope you react to more of their songs.
If you are looking for another great band to check out, I suggest the Finnish band Nightwish.
They have so many amazing songs, but if you want to start, I suggest any of their songs from the Wacken 2013 concert. Songs like Romanticide, Storytime, Ghost Love Score, I wish I had an Angel, etc. honestly the entire concert is EPIC!
i feel ya first time i heard them i wanted to sell my guitars too and i have played for almost 45 years instead they have inspired me to try new things on them i have listened to all of their songs studio and live they have no bad ones its amazing they are an incredible group
Welcome back to Lovebites.. I think you guys been bitten… by the way… another great reaction… your next song should be “Set the World on Fire “ live…
Thanks for your reaction, yeah it's Lovebites formed 2016 in Tokyo from ex Destrose band members Miho ( bas) and Haruna ( drummer) the band won Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new metal band in 2018. Very popular in Europe, the first female Japanese metal band who played in Wacken Germany (i see them live that time) next year 2019 they toured with Dragon force in the UK ( I've seen them again) they have 60+ songs till now and I can tell you right now none of them is bad. The best metal band these days in the world has come around in the decades. Midori and Miyako ( M&M) are the best guitar duos right now. Some reactor mentioned it seems to criminal those two guitarists to be in one band. Plus Asami the singer that is the formula for the best heavy metal period. My suggestion is to check the song Thunder vengeance from Zep Diversity Tokyo 2020. And another one Awakening/Hammer of wrath from the same show. Enjoy it. By the way I'm a new subscriber. Greetings from London.
Lovebites have mastered the 'GAP' the difference in what you see (nice dresses and high heels) and what you hear (classic speed end trash metal).
The founding bassist Miho ( in this video ) is a spiritual child of Steve Harris . Who was all about all metal but had a spot for the Maiden .
New bassist Fami ( Fah me) who you saw in the stand video is yet another magical prodigy .
The only one who could fill and grow with the band in Miho's heels .
“LOVEBITES “🤘❤️😆🤘
Lovebites and Nemophila are by far my favorite bands (for different reasons).. the musicianship is astronomical in both bands.. and both vocalists Asami and Mayu are very unique and amazing in their own right..(Asami has a theatrical delivery, (Nightwish,Bruce Dickinson) while Mayu is just Mayu..from a clean clear, to full on "banshee snarl" and back again, and everything in between. I'd comment further on the musicians of each band, but i'd have to text a chapter.. Thanks for the reaction..Youll not be sorry reacting to more Lovebites..(and ) Nemophila
You just dissed one of the finest bands to come out of the 80s! Lovebites influences come from the 80s British metal era ie IRON MAIDEN and Judas Priest. What you said was incomprehensible and unconscionable. I will say this Lovebites are heading that direction and have actually left Metallica in the shade. Just a titbit " number of the beast " album is 41 today 22 March 1982 . Different decades between the two, one should say if it was not for IRON MAIDEN, the Lovebites sound maybe different and such remarks made would not exist 😊😉. Glad you enjoyed Lovebites and what the future holds for metal!! 😎🤟
I had to grin because I've experienced this reaction myself before. When Lovebites - as the first Asian band ever - performed at the open-air concert on the fields of Wacken (2018). Our concert experience could be described like this: great young women came onto the stage, a short greeting and from the first note - I think - no one closed their mouths in amazement. Where did these musicians come from? Japan? Or rather from a completely different planet? Especially the guitarist of the band I was with in Wacken hardly spoke a word after the group, seemed absent. I reveled in the praises of Haruna's drumming skills, tact and phenomenal timing, coupled with a stamina that you wouldn't have credited this little woman with (up to this point - hubris of a guy). Well, the M-Pack (Midori and Miyako) were the reason why it took the band a whopping 2 months before their guitarist used his guitar for the band again - for 3 weeks he seriously toyed with the idea of quitting guitar playing to sell his guitars. His only comment at the time was: "I have seen and heard goddesses play!" To this day I'm a bit surprised that Tobias, the bass player, took it so much more relaxed. He just said: "Miho probably started much earlier, practiced much more and sacrificed much more for playing her bass - she's just immeasurably better than me!" And this was it for him - and I agree with him! Well, Asami is beaming in her own way this evening at Wacken - simply brilliant!
Unfortunately, Miho is no longer with Lovebites, but what I've seen and heard from Fami so far seems to me to be a 100% replacement with his own influences, positive influences, for the band ... and Miyako doesn't seem to be the physically biggest Lovebite anymore. Being a member - just an estimate, I don't know, but Fami seems to have outgrown their older band members! Well, the youth!
Well, another one gonna sell their guitar 😂... Good reaction by the way, and welcome aboard..
You still haven’t scratched the surface. This band has no Peer. 🤘🏾
LOVEBITES⚡️🤘🐺🤘⚡️
They wear White because they are rather petite ladies. Because most metal stage are Dark, they chose to wear white, that reflects light, so they would be seen easier while performing. "Holy War" was written by Miho the bassist and Band founder with Haruna on drums. Miho is no longer with the band.
Midori, blond, picked up the guitar at 20yo after leaving pharmacy school. Miyako, black hair, began piano lessons at 3yo, At 17/18 she decided she wanted play Rock/Metal music and got herself a guitar and How To book. No Lesson and first riffs she played were from Metallica!!
They're 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan with about half all female. 2 for you to checkout are Band Maid - "Freedom" and "Domination" and Nemophila "Sorai" and "Rise". Except for "Rise" they are all live. Both bands have toured in the US. Nemophila is touring right now. Band Maid toured last year - 14 cities all venues sold-out!!
The 2 songs you have just reacted to are from the 2 most recent albums Electric Pentagram (Holy War) and Judgment Day (Stand and deliver) hopefully you will continue your journey with Lovebites and check out some of their older music. Sorry to be the one to tell you but they are better than all the bands out there, and I like many bands and have entire collections but Lovebites has surpassed all bands in flying colors and left them all behind, and never looked back. I am sure they probably said "sorry can't stick around but do try to say up with us"
The bassline 😈🇧🇻
Ok do any of the 3 "E" songs by them. They are: "Empty Daydream", "End of the World" and "Epilogue" and every one of them has Miyako black haired guitarist doing piano intros or playing it during the song. Also the drummer is just 4'9" tall and is known by many nicknames such as "Pocket Nuclear Reactor". Her real name is Haruna
You aint see nothing yet. But its a good start hehe. Lovebites is THE REAL DEAL! Maybe see and react to some thrash madness that they can do, Set The World on Fire or Thunder Vengeance, live of course. Get on Lovebites train and enjoy the ride. It is ride of a lifetime for sure... Take care.
Japan has a lot of great guitar duos. LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus, Babymetal's Kami Band, and D_Drive all have incredible guitar duos, monster drummers, fantastic bass guitarists, and (where applicable) great singers.
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
If you like Uplifting, Fast Tempo Speed Power Metal then Lovebites is likely youre New Drug. Over 60 studio songs and 3 Live DVD's worth the watch. The Musicianship is Off the Hook. Also you gotta Love the Japanese Play on Contrast in Art. Girls dressed in Ball Gowns dishing out 170bpm Shred upon shred. Life is Great thanks in Part too Japan.
Miyako & Midori, in my opinion, are the best dual leads in metal today, if not ever. I lean towards ever.
I'm happy about your enthusiasm for Lovebites, I share that a lot. But, keep it real, they are not "a gazillion times better" than Iron Maiden. IM is the greatest Heavy Metal band in the World for over 40 years now, still filling stadiums and Murray and Smith are legends amongst legends. And they still have it, just witnessed it last year again.
Technically Midori and Miyako are certainly as good, in some points maybe even "better". But what IM has achieved in their career, Lovebites still has to come a looong way. And I hope they will 💪🏻
I said what I said lol just my opinion
I'm a big Lovebites fan, but I fully agree. Iron Maiden are legends for a reason.
Great reaction. I suggest you to try their Swan Song with Chopin Revolutionary Etude ua-cam.com/video/WBhtqgiXEA4/v-deo.html. You'll be surprised by another talent of Lovebites. It is a jaw dropping phenomenal performance, I guarantee you. No other bands can do it.
Freaking awesome!
And they do a great cover of Painkiller by Judas Priest 🤘🤘🤘
Nameless Warrior!!!
welcome to the wolfpack the worldwide fan base
Next song: Set the World on Fire
i cant wait till you see Thunder Vengeance, and Break the Wall Live
Nothing to see here, just hot and talented Japanese girls shredding your face off.
Love does bite but in a good way!!
All the good music is coming out of Japan, no joke!!!
🙏U 🤟🐺❣
🤘😁🤘
Hanabie, Band-maid, Lovebites? Dude, you're soooooo doomed now!!!! 😁
💘Miyako💘
✨🥰🤘
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
OK your next video should be swang song with Chopin intro
You should listen to Swan Song With Chopin Intro and you can only get that combination live ua-cam.com/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/v-deo.html Miyako shows her skills even more in that one.

Well.......
It's time to let go of the stereotypical heavy metal clothing of chains and leather and studs and nasty looking guys, it's time that looks no longer matter but the art of good music played with professionalism and heavy metal class that matters. Those ladies are sooooooooooooo fucking heavy power metal..they just amazing and so good to listen at.
