In '85, before most people knew who they were, I saw RHCP in front of about 50 people. It was an 18 and over show and even though I wasn't 21, the bartender was handing me beers to give to Flea. They were my favorite band for their first 5 albums. After that🤮.
The Delgados, back in the early 00's at Metro in Chicago. Came with a string quartet and everything touring for their masterpiece album "Hate" - the place was maybe at 10% capacity and it's one of the best concerts of my life.
Leo Kottke at a venue on Greenville Ave. in Dallas in the '80s. He was doing a sound check and I sat at the back of the club and listened for probably 45 minutes. He didn't play very many songs all the way through, but was checking several guitars (6- and 12-string), practicing and playing sections of some favorites. At the end, he just improvised (I assume) and played for his own enjoyment. He's another one that makes it look so easy that you want to go home and practice (except I never found his sound). Now I consciously work on relaxing during the hard parts.
When I was 10 in the late 1970s my parents took me to an Elton John Concert. The venue only had 1000 people. Not exactly no crowd at all, but we're talking about Elton John during his 1970s rock and roll prime where he usually played in much larger venues. He was on stage for 3 hours! It was awesome! It was also my first ever concert.
Band-Maid offers the full official score for Unseen World through Pony Canyon. Talk about complete and comprehensive!!! As for musical event...I got to see Buddy Rich and his orchestra at a local high school auditorium in the 70's as a 14 year old beginning drummer! Another experience in the early 80's, Jefferson Starship( with Grace Slick & Paul Kantner) played a local arena (14-20k capacity) that apparently was last minute. There so few tickets sold, that they didn't bother to put up the security barrier around the stage. I was literally resting my elbows on the stage. The band would play a song then stop and casually have a conversation with someone in the audience. It was like they were playing at your backyard bbq! My favorite time though, was in 91, saw Pantera, shortly after the release of Cowboys From Hell, in a very small venue with a couple of hundred people. I actually made it on stage for a song. My absolute all-time favorite concert!!! Hoping the ladies will challenge that in October!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
I am a seventy-year old Alpine dweller from Switzerland, and I've heard tons of splendid Hard Rock in my life, but I've never come across a band so incredibly talented as Band-Maid. I discovered the quintet in 2016, and ever since that glorious moment there has hardly been a day without me listening to their music. These wonderful ladies reign supreme - and the miracle thing is: they are still getting better and better.
Hello to 🇨🇭
MISA switching from slap to pick to slap to pick, so smoothly, all in one solo.👍
I would have expected they would use double thumbing to do something like that instead of going from thumb to pick.
KEY : [A minor or C] intro, verse, pre-chorus → [C minor or Eb] chorus
G is the last chord for the pre-chorus (V) , they switch this to III7 and goes IVmaj7 - V - VIm (Abmaj7 - Bb - Cm) for the chorus.
They are the most beautiful, amazing and original band on the planet. I am a 70 year old jazz fusion prog rock drummer and they have been blowing me away for the last 4 years. Akane is my drum goddess and her and Misa are the most incredible rhythm section anywhere!!!!! These girls reignited my love for music and drumming
Band maid are the masters of transition. They are well diverse and dynamically good... They make a simple song complicated..... Adding taste in a song and so catchy chorus... Their song is like a jigzaw puzzle and you wonder how this composition fits in
I have pogoed the shit out of this song at several live Band-Maid concerts I've been to. My arches always pay for it the next day, but totally worth it. Band-Maid are excellent both live and in the studio. Their songwriting and arrangements are so creative with so much going on in each song.
Yep Doc Loco said "Black Hole is like listening to Alice in Wonderland in 3 minutes". Best comment of the year.😁
@P in D² As the 12 days tell you i don't get notified anymore, but it's been so long now i forgot what your question was.🤣
Yeah... Kanami is an elite, genius songwriter! The others give their input and i think these complex songs were not playable by some other bands properly like they do. It is sometimes complicated with the change of pace, different layers, no verse is like the other etc., but it is still with a plan and really enjoyable, i love this band! Really cool reaction again and i lot a little bit more about music, that is the reason i subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany
Hey, what a great job. Songwriting, well that´s the point. Probably most of us who follow this band end up talking about this. In each of their songs there are a thousand things that shouldn't necessarily be there. And it has been like this since 2016 when their record company allowed them to start publishing their own compositions. The band itself is a unicorn, an unthinkable conjunction of COMPLEMENTARY geniuses. You have commented on it very well, that sensation produced, for example, by listening to the constant dialogue between bass and guitar, each instrument improving the other. In the end, Band Maid is so much more than the sum of its five amazing members. Thank you very much Tony!
Tony visconti supposedly advised them to simplify their song, sometimes it's tastier to strip back...I think they took his advice and ended up 'making complex music to sound stripped back' in Manners and about us. At the end of the day the maids can't stop being themselves.
There is a song on the Unseen World album called HGK and the guitar solo Kanami wrote for herself was so difficult to play it took her 3 months to learn it. A true composer.
And if you see this comment check out Lovebites for some killer power/thrash metal. (All female band from japan)
My best musical experience when there was nobody there, was listening to myself sing in the shower. I killed it!
"No God" gives me a strong Motorhead vibe.
Lemmy would have loved it
LMAO 🚿🎤
Too bad I missed it. Oh, wait... I take that back.
Another great reaction! "There's a lot going on"...that's the reason I love this band so much! It might be easy to recognize how good the drummer and the bassist are, but the lead guitar, Kanami! Sometimes mentioned that the solo in each songs are too short, but if you listen carefully, you'd realize that she's like playing solo throughout the songs. Thank you anyway for the reaction!
Excellent discussion, Tony! BTW, from a band interview in Player 4/2/21: "She [Akane, drums] told me once on LINE she wanted a song with modulations, so I decided to give her a song [No God] with modulations as a surprise present and also thought she would be glad if it starts with the drums" -- Kanami Tono, lead guitar (trans. by t-shinji)
Yeah, BAND-MAID = The perfect band. From composition thru execution. After almost 2 years I can never get enough. Look forward to your next reaction (hint: ONSET-LIVE). Because BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace. 4.83
I'm not saying he should react to the most awesome instrumental "Onset" next but some idiot left the link :) ua-cam.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/v-deo.html
There was a Magnet interview with Band-Maid in 2021 and, when asked about 'No God' , MISA said "I suggested the structure of this song to Kanami, and Kanami arranged the song accordingly. I composed this with OKYU-JI (lit: 'servings', a name for B-M live concerts) in mind, so I intentionally added the bass solo." Kanami rewrote this for their acoustic session and it's a thing of beauty if you can find it or get to hear it. 🎸🤘 Seen some great Rock bands in small venues, especially through the 70's and 80's. Memorable ones - as in I still had some memory of it the next day, even through my hangover) would be seeing Old Tennis Shoes at The Last Watering Hole in Amsterdam on New Years Eve 88...or 89 (it was a while ago and still hazy). It was a club that could squeeze in maybe 200 people but the band were excellent, playing old Rhythm & Blues and Rock songs ('High Heel Sneakers' being a fave of mine) with lots of Stevie Ray Vaughan slide and Hendrix riffs thrown in.
Bandmaid is “sneaky” progressive. Lots of cool stuff to make it interesting for musicians but without sacrificing the accessibility of the song. They use their powers for good.
Great deconstruction of the song. There's too much to catch on first listen this could be an hour video but you put into words musically why this band blows so many people away. Band Maid doing Band Maid things great reaction brother!
Another great review, DRT! You really nailed it - I don't know if I've ever seen or heard a band that can write so many catchy songs that are so musically intricate, different and interesting. I mean, you've got a catchy chorus with a great singalong (can't wait to sing the oh, oh, oh oh's in October), that has so awesome complexity going on musically. Not only complexity either - their ability keep you engaged with tension and release and dynamic contrasts is just super-duper songwriting and arrangement. All hail Kanamincho!!
Bass masterpiece for me
Thanks
So answering your video question...I was deployed to Kyrgyzstan in 2003. Sometimes they would have entertainment at the base. One time they had a local rock band. The band started off their set list singing Russian rock songs. They were talented but most of the crowd left because they weren't familiar with the songs. So with about 10 of us left the lead singer said (in a heavily accented voice) "we will now play Guns and Roses". They launch into a terrific rendition of GnR's version of Knockin on Heaven's Door and the lead singer sounds just like Axl Rose!! Was not expecting that!! Wasn't long before all 10 of us are singing right along. Just a really cool experience.
Awesome story, Falconsooner.👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 Thanks....definitely came out of left field.
That's a sweet story 🎶
Really glad you found Band-Maid. Some of the best insights and comments I've heard re their music. If a band gets really lucky they have one genius in the group- you know what's coming. We have five- One of which also founded the band, writes the lyrics and is producing her own music. Love them so much. A good song to try next- mmm maybe Wonderland Official live video.
If you have questions Kanami has social media and she answers fans about her songs and even teaches them how to play her parts
👀👀👀 link to that social please
Welsh singer Tom Jones said BAND-MAID are the best Hard Rock band he's heard in the last 40yrs. Well "It's Not Unusual".😏
When asked why his testicles are the size of watermelons, Tom replied "Mama told me not to c*m" !! 🤭
Gary...... reallly..... you now drag Tom Jones in too?? 🤣
Wait.... did he really say that, seriously?
LOL. 🤣
@@RahimRahmat He did in my reality.😏
You Elvis told me that, too, just this past year!
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 Speaking of this song, Kanami and Miku told an interesting story in a Japanese Magazine "Headbang" vol. 28 [page 145] ** Summary ** (1) "No God" is the second song with modulation (key change) subsequent to "Cross" (2) Akane, drummer, had eagerly wanted a new original song with key change for the band (3) Kanami composed "No God" and told Akane that this was the song she had been longing for (4) Akane completely forgot what she had said before but came to love this song although it requires a very tough work for the drummer.
******* I love the friendship within this band.
Thank you for the info!
You might also enjoy the instrumental CD of their latest album "Unseen World" which comes as a bonus with their 'official score book'. Every listen adds something you missed last time round.....
Band-Maid makes me think about RUSH. Songs like Black Hole and this one takes you on a trip.
Absolutely the same with me. They are the first band I’ve heard that embodies many of the same exceptional qualities of Rush. 🔥
NO GOD is just a training song...I think you are ready for PLAY now ;-)
What a band! They seem to bridge that gap between the things that make a musician perk up and the non-musician shake their booty. These last two songs are more progressive and complicated than some of their older stuff but the details are always there. "Alone" was the first song Kanami wrote for the band, before that they had played songs from other writers (Miku wrote some lyrics before, too), But as a first effort, it's close to the same level as these last two you've heard. She followed that one with "Unfair Game" and "Matchless GUM" (both B sides with no UA-cam music video) and they are excellent too. When you find out more about her, you'll realize that although her degree is in Economics, she started piano at three and had played for twenty years before this band started. I imagine she drives the rehearsals pretty hard too. There are quite a few female guitarists coming out of Japan these days, like Hal-Ca with Asterism, and Midori and Miyako with Lovebites, and Saki with Nemophila. Kanami has a certain inventiveness and quirkiness to her songwriting that is really attractive.
And don't forget Toki/Yoshi from Aldious or Mina from Fate Gear.
a beautiful cacophony of sound! ♥
My first year in college a little known group named Buckingham Nicks played a show, couldn't of been more than 500 people there. A month later Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac. Btw the concert was fantastic too
No God? Ok, I guess, there's an argument to be made.
5 Goddesses? Absolutely! An immutable fact. Indubitable!
Two stories:
Around 1992, I went to see Smashing Pumpkins at Club Citta, Kawasaki Japan, a live house that can hold several hundred people. I think this was a tour on the back of Gish, their first album. There were maybe 50 people there! A couple of years later they were filling arenas and stadiums.
PUFFY (AKA Puffy AmiYumi) are an amazing pop/rock vocal duo assembled in 1995 by Sony talent scouts. They sing in unison to create a trademark sound and work with an amazing rock. In Japan they have released many hits and appeared on TV countless times, but they are largely unknown in the US, except for kids who watched the Comedy Central cartoon Hi-Hi Puffy AmiYumi. I was excited to go see them at Slim’s in San Francisco, a venue for sold-out shows my bands like Slayer, Amon Amarth, and Death Angel. That night, in attendance were about 20 little girls and their dads! I was able to watch Ami, Yumi, and the amazing band from right at the front of the stage, but I felt bad they had traveled so far for such a feeble turn out.
Woah! You saw some great stuff. I would also feel bad for the band
Thanks Tony!

2 Band Maid reactions per week
And after 1 year, you will still have music left to react to.
🤘🏻❤🔥
Bring it Tony
👀
This was great, Tony! Your explanation as to why this is so good to trained musicians was perfect!
Thank you! 👍
Thanks!
I think some of the most interesting Band-Maid songs to react to might be "YOLO", "Blooming" and "Daydreaming"... of course there are many more, but these are a good depiction of their range, especially from when they began to take control of the compositions.😉
Seeing Misa do this solo live was a treat
Great reaction! Akane did drop the hat. There is a instrumental version of the album "Unseen World" called "Official Score for Unseen World" where you can really hear how much is going on
Puzzle live, this is must to react.
Great reaction. I've listened to BAND-MAID since 2015 and more than any other band they make me really think and feel about music... the technical side of their music is always stretching my brain. Then you start to look deeper into the lyrics and find yourself amazed at the writing which then leads you into the mental and emotional side, which then leads you into the shear entertainment experience and every other space music hits you. So many layers as you said and they still amaze me every day.
Sooo many pancakes....
very nice!
🥞🥞🥞
no god huh? okay then here we go
As a teenager I got to see ZZ Top in a small blues club in Dallas with maybe 30 other people. They were not huge stars then but even as a kid I could tell that they were going to be. They played for several hours and when they took a break they just hung out and drank with the crowd.
Ok Tony, I’m loving the Band-Maid and Jinjer reactions but I would really like to hear what you think about “Awakening” by the Vancouver group Unleash the Archers.
Japan does old skool compulsory music ed. starting from primary school. Band Maid is one of the many results of this upbringing, Po! Great reaction, sir!
Yea their band programs are outta this world
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Case in point - Kyoto Tachibana Senior High Brass Marching and Concert band, Po!
Always amazing and make me smile
Okay, reading these comments makes me remember another great musical experience. On vacation in Hilton Head, SC the wifey and I went to a music joint in a strip mall and saw a band called "The Out of Hand Band." Expected very little, but the band was just fantastic - that is really what I think (Oh, sorry - went on a Floydian tangent). Seriously, the leader of the band (lead vocals and lead guitar) was a highly skilled singer and player. And - he had a major birth defect, where his hand literally grew out of the shoulder area - so he hardly had any arm at all - and this was his picking hand. He had the guitar strap hiked up to where he could play it though and he was very, very good. Here's my favorite part - they did a lot of stuff that reminded me of the Allman Bros. and I turned to said wifey and said "that would be great if they played You Don't Love Me" by the brothers next. And incredibly, that was the next song they played. We were far from the stage so no way they heard me say this. I've never heard a cover band play this song before or after. True story.
In 2014 I went to a local bar and the had an impromptu live jazz show in their side room, I got a great seat with about 5 other patrons and ate a nice meal and got to watch some live jazz. After their set which ran about 2 hours they offered to jam with anyone and I got to play some bass along with those guys, it was super rad man and it made me appreciate music so much more, especially bands like Band-Maid and Asterism
Great reaction and yes you are right- almost no band maid songs can be fully appreciated without multiple listens! In fact on lots of them, there is stuff you would still miss after 20 listens! For example warning- check out the MV its great :) But when Ryan mear recently played some of the instrumental CD they released- he put warning on- and within the first mintue he was blown away by all the bits he had never heard before. There can be way more going on with the guitars or bass than you might think even during other stong elements.
For example this song- for your own amusment- see if you can find the no god instrumental video that focus's the camera only on Misa- check out how complex and none stop changing up the bass is during this song! Im not suprised Ryan said she was his new favourite bassist after this track :)
Nice reaction Japan is a candyshop of Super metal and Rock groups at the Moment i hope you look closer 😁😜 BM the one and only
Call it genius, style, ability, whatever, they just have all the parts perfectly matched to come up with a very unique sound that is "old" and "new". I don't know how they do it but it is my happy music no matter what they play.
MISA MISA MISA! the only story I have is my second Band-maid concert I was VIP so I got second row and when you consider at the Echo-plex in LA the front row is actually leaning over the edge of the Stage. So I was less than 5 feet from MISA (and got a high five from Mincho along with most of the front row).
So, a faculty jazz quintet from a big university did a surprise gig at the local jazz club. There were like 4 tables of people in the room, I was front and center, and these guys were monsters. The other tables were obviously music students. They maintained eye contact with everyone, played for three hours, and we all became part of the show. Magical. Check out Blooming, Rinne, Warning, and Different. There is a live version of Different from the same streaming show, Dice/Different Official Live Video, but the mix is better in the MV. Drums on all four are insane.
side note: seattle and band-maid have a special relationship. when 'thrill' exploded online, your city was the first one to welcome them and embrace their brand of music.
13:22 -- it's an Eb sweeping up to Cm for the lead but overlayed by Am by the rhythm which teeters with C also. it's a glorious dissonance fest.
As in this is the travel of keys?
in section changes, yes, but it's more of the stacking up in this particular song. mincho-zilla has nuno-esque [bettencourt] tendencies in her songwriting process -- at least in my pov.
Nice articulate reaction Tony. Are you the English teacher too? haha. Interesting you mentioned Misa's pick. I kept struggling with why I know it can really sound GREAT and then by chance I was watching an old 70s concert at the Rainbow in London by Thin Lizzy. Their front man Vocals and Bassist was Phil Lynott. Note: they also had one of the most under rated drummers of all time - Brian Downey. Look up Thin Lizzy at the Rainbow. 1978 I think. Theres several tracks and they are all bangers. His playing (with a pick) is so thick!
giovanni by band maid is another crazy song to breakdown
If you want to see the other side of Band Maid you need to see the official live video for "About Us". This song is played flawlessly. Amazing song. Saiki's vocals are incredible and Miku's backing vocals just perfect. Misa has a beautiful bass line that runs underneath just a perfect counter point to the vocals. Seriously, if you wait to check this one out you will kick yourself in the ass. 30 miles north of you in Lynnwood. Have a killer weekend brother.
Mine was Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival in Cleveland, Ohio in front of the Beachland Ballroom on the sidewalk before the Los Straitjackets show inside. CB microphone, cardboard drum kit man these cats killed it! They have a video or two here on UA-cam....what a HOOT!
Oh〜♪
All amazing！👍
A lot of their fans were surprised, in a good way, when they rearranged this song for their online acoustic Christmas concert. It sounded fantastic.
Mine might be in 2020, when I had a VIP ticket for Silversun Pickups. They performed 3 songs during a pre-show sound check in front of the 20 or so VIPs. We each stood in the front row. That was great. It was especially cool for me because the band played my favorite SSPU song during that sound check, but did not play it during their actual set later that night. So, I was so fortunate to hear it.
"It's like a pancake with a lot of layers." It's Okonomiyaki. Hiroshima-style. And if you haven't had that, you HAVE to, it's fantastic.
I recommend for your next Band-Maid song, try one of the band's many instrumentals. Maybe start with the Official Live video of "Onset" or venture out of UA-cam to find the MV of "Without Holding Back"
I went to a metal show in Montreal where a band that I discovered after their breakup was finally doing a reunion show after over ten years. The show was at a bar called Katacombes and the band was Light This City, from San Francisco. I went there for my birthday with one of my buddy who isn't even that much into metal and I was a bit worried when I realized there wouldn't be more than 25-30 people in attendance. Boy was I wrong! When the show started, we made a five people mosh pit that lasted the whole show. At the end of the show, the band got off stage for a beer so I went to the singer to tell her how awesome that reunion had been for my birthday and she just gave me a big hug. One of the most incredible shows of my life!
You're correct in that their music is so DENSE that you can't get it all in just one sitting. Which is the genius of their music: it doesn't get stale with re-listens, it gets BETTER.
BTW, I figured you marched drum corps with just the way you articulate drum rhythms.
Haha yea I'm loving them. I did march🤟 Drumline is still a big part of my life
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I figured....😉 Who did you march with? I marched with a Class A/Div II corps back in the late 80s (88-90). Played Soprano and Mellophone.
@@armynurseboy Nice! I marched with Seattle Cascades. Taught a lot of marching band after that and now do the Seahawks Drumline. Some side projects with smaller lines as well and other random teaching projects. Band is a good thing! Cool you played brass. I love DCI brass. So in your face and just wow on the modern stuff... the runs are so technical. Amazing stuff
@@DrumRollTonyReacts we weren't so technical back in the day. Just wanted to melt your face and push the stands back with our G bugles... 😎
Concert question? Faustus at UMSL in St. Louis back in the 80's. There was maybe 20-30 people in the audience but they still put out 110% effort. And I really enjoyed myself.
And Kanami (Lead Guitar - Princess) is almost always right channel while Miku (Rhythm Guitar/Secondary and Backing Vocals - Small Pigeon) is Left Channel, while MISA (Bassist - Barefoot Assassin) is center trending left channel. Akane (Drums - Gorilla) will be center channel and Vocals are usually center channel. Although I have noticed in some songs where Miku and Saiki (Ice Queen) are panned left/right when they trade vocals parts.
And your reaction/review/critique is why I prefer watching reactions from Musicians. You catch things that I miss. And that makes the music that much more special to me.
Thank you. And keep doing Band Maid videos. If you don't mind just doing an audio track without an accompanying video, Band Maid has dozens and dozens of songs which I think you would enjoy. A few of my personal favorites are "Freezer", "Be OK", "Brand New Road", "Why, Why, Why", "Chemical Reaction", "Anemone - The studio version and the Live Acoustic there is a video for if you can find it", "summer Drive", "cross", and many, many, many more.
I have found only 4 of their songs that I don't outright love, but I still enjoy listening to them. The rest I listen to constantly and I have the entire current discography of Band Maid on my phone and I have ripped the audio from several of their concerts and ripped the individual songs to .MP3's which I also have on my phone. So I have multiple live versions of many of their songs.
The only other bands I have done this for are The Beatles, The Who, YES, and Led Zeppelin.
Akane ditched the little hat. It hurt her head.
If you're looking for key changes, go check out the 'Cross' official live video on the Band-Maid channel.
I was on the drumline back in high-school. Once we learned the music I could play all 4 bases. We didn't have a drum teacher, we all taught ourselves. Our band teacher and leader played tuba. He was a cool, but he just couldn't deal with us.
The cadence we marched in to (and played every day) was so long we rarely made it through the cadence twice. It wasn't super intricate, but it was long and awesome.
I wish we had a drum teacher like you back then.
Most drumlines in schools unfortunately don't have drumline teachers. It's usually a situation like yours where the director is a brass or woodwind player. So you did what you had to do and you still had fun. That's what matters 🎶🎶🥁🥁
Until you realise that kanami starts with a sheet of staved paper and a pencil (writing stuff she can't even play yet) then shows it to akane who writes the drum part (checking it out on her knees) then misa gets a go, by which time miku has enough to think about lyrics.
Then of course when all is recorded kanami produces a printed score for the whole album, beautifully produced with extras.
These are serious musicians.
You don't get that just by jamming a few hours.
Writing with a pencil rather than with software means there is less temptation to just mark "repeat" a details freak just has to take the opportunity to weave more stuff in and really make the band work as a single instrument as a composer would do with a string quartet.
This is not my original observation I have it from someone brighter than me.
Please check " Band Maid | Misa on Bass || No God instrumental " .
To answer your question: I saw Little Feat (my favorite band) at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. The venue was set up like a restaurant with tables and chairs. The band had just reunited and everybody was there to hear music, not act like drunken fools. The crowd participation was unbelievable and the band was exhausted by the end of the show.
If you appreciate the complexity of their songs, you should check out another Japanese band called Sokoninaru. They're like Band-maid but with even more experimental and progressive songwriting. They also have an incredible bassist.
I always find it fascinating how different languages program the given brain toward certain rhythms and melody, in such a way that some eastern music is so difficult for a westerner to conceive performing. and vice versa
Did you think there something in this song that is beyond understanding?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts not beyond understanding. Just foreign to our ears, like the way the rhythm of the speech falls within the phrasing, it's just different out of linguistic conditioning and familiarity.
My experience with a small audience: Bill Brufford
I love this band. I love all their songs. But my number 1 now is Moratorium and Daydreaming. Yeah. I have 2 number 1. Can't give one or the other the number 1 spot so both got it.
They do not have any bad songs.
Here comes some more tips for songs.
Thrill, the song that made them known. Really good.
Alone, the first song they wrote them self. After that they wrote all of their songs.
Yeah, I thoroughly understand your "One" problem, but did you know you can also squeeze 3 into 1 too : ) For me it's "Matchless GUM" and "Puzzle" from the SC dvd and "Clang" from the Zepp one
@@threemonkeysk yeah. I do know that. The problem with this band is that you could squeeze ALL their song to the "one spot" 😜
I do like your songs to but the most fantastic thing with this band seems to be that everyone have their own top 3 or 5 songs. And every time i read a top X list i can understand why they have chosen those X songs for their list. 😊
My No.1 has always been Moratorium, but No.2 changes all the time. Whatever the B-M tune I'd be listening to at that moment becomes my No.2.
@@lurkmerchant I like your way of thinking I might fully adapt this. With the exception that i have 2 number 1's. 😁
@@ThecMaster 😁
Sometime in winter 2010 me and my buddies went to an undercover Mars Volta show at the 930 in DC. It was billed as an Omar solo show with very little warning that it was happening at all. One of my friends who is a huge Volta fan called all of us saying that he had heard on some web forum that the full band would be there prepping for their upcoming tour. None of us really believed that but thought it would be cool to see Omar, so we went. But sure enough, we ended up getting treated to an almost two hour Mars Volta show with a maybe quarter filled small venue and most of the people there had no idea who they were. The show was amazing. After the show, the four of us and one other guy went and stood by their tour bus out back just to say hey and thanks for the show. They ended up being super cool and Cedric and Omar took pictures with us and then just stood around bullshitting with us for like half an hour. Very kind and down to earth dudes. Not my favorite band of all time but easily the most memorable night at a show I'll ever have.
👀👀🤟👏👏 that was awesome to read
Great reaction!!!
I saw Collective Soul before they were famous in a venue in Atlanta with like 50 people. It was incredible.
Up next for musician... us Madiacs usually recommend the instrumental Onset, because it will blow you away.
Other top tracks are Blooming(MV) and Daydreaming(MV).
Then of course you have the off-UA-cam classics: Puzzle (live), Puzzle (acoustic live), Moratorium (live), and Don't you tell me (live - power trio).
Oh wait! Tony you must check moratorium (live) at zepp...you will not be disappointed...thanks..
Hi Tony, glad you are enjoying the Band Maid rabbit hole. There are a bunch of cool reactors w music backgrounds who listen and gives I sights to j rock and others. They all love band maid. They are call Gaijin Guys. Check them out. I think you would make a great guest. 👍
The only time I went to a show there wasn't many people at was a friends band. There was about 10 other people there. Did some moshing, took an elbow in the face and my tooth went through my lip. Good times. Lol
I really want a solo album that's just MISA solo jam sessions to put on before bed.
If you are interested, Band Maid published a scorebook for their "Unseen World" album, which includes "Black Hole", "Manners", "No God" and 11 other amazing songs. It has interviews with the members of the band, a lot of pictures, and I believe it also comes with a CD of the album, "Unseen World" with just instrumentals, no vocals. It's available on their fan website, but I'll warn you, it isn't cheap, and it may take a while to arrive from Japan. Their entire "Unseen World" album is very well worth adding to your collection. If you would like another bass-heavy song, you might want to check out "Dice" it is one of their older songs.
Yup, the song is beyond just a listen and enjoy,
Best show for me was at a small club in Syracuse, NY called Lost Horizon. I'd been hearing rumors about this band called Soft White Underbelly so stopped in at the club to check them out and see if the rumors were true!!!!! There was only like 40 or 50 people there. The band totally kicked ass!!! And the rumors were TRUE!!!!!! It was a little known band called BLUE OYSTER CULT!!!!!!!! Apparently prior to going into the studio 🎙 to record a new album they would go and do club shows under the pseudonym of Soft White Underbelly and try out the new material on club crowds so they could get honest reactions to the music 🎶 🎵. Usually they did the new stuff in the 1st set and when they came out for the 2nd set if people still didn't know who they were they pulled their own covers. When I saw them they did it like this; "Hope you guys liked our 1st set. Gonna play a song we wrote a while back people seemed to like it hope you will too!" And they ripped into "Don't Fear the Reaper"! And at that point crowd went nuts and a bunch of people were lining up to use (& I guarantee half the people that read this will have no clue what I'm talking about) the pay phone to call friends that BOC was playing at the Lost!!!! Crowd quadrupled within 30-40 minutes and still was only half full. Was a GR8 show!!!!!
I'm pretty sure they didn't drag a glockenspiel into the studio for that one 2 second part, but it sure sounded like it.
Akane’s drum intro to this song kicks ass, and continues throughout the whole song. FYI, Akane always wore the little hat for years, but sadly she stopped wearing because it was uncomfortable to wear through an entire concert. If you look at the photos from Band Maid’s first album, it was Misa that wore the hat, but she gave it over to Akane, who wore it so very well. Great review.
Would'nt you love to live with them for a week and watch them practice putting a song together !!!!!!!
it's gonna be a great review for sure.. 🤣
My favorite concerts, that nobody goes to?
Nobody pays any attention to "Early Music". I love that stuff. There are world class musicians, playing music from the 1500s, or whenever, and people aren't interested. They play in Community College halls.
I was at the first WOMAD festival and Robert Fripp gave a demonstration of his "frippertronics" tape loop system. Probably the first time someone looped live.
He used an adapted revox.
When was the Fripp show. I saw David Torn solo live with only a loop system in 1995 playing his Tripping Over God album. I also love Fripp and have seen every generation of Crimson from the original line up- yes I'm 69.
@@RTEcalcite01 1980.
OMNG!
Akane retired the little hat back in 2019!
Video Question: What was a musical event I had without a crowd but had a great musical experience? My first gig with my first band! 😏
😅😅😅😅🍻
I call this their Rube Goldberg machine. Every event is perfectly timed. ... If you're really curious, there's a score book for this album.
Where can I find that?
Akane does sometimes wear a little hat. Mostly that was a few years ago.
Yep, and we all loved watching that little hat cling on for dear life, once she went into beast mode. Many fans call her TinyHat-san until today. IIRC she discarded it, because wearing it was uncomfortable.
arkona, and liliac. liliac had a respectable showing for the venue, but they're gonna be bigger in no time.
