2:11 My favorite If daRiff is reacting happily, it will be fun here too! In the same way, watching them play happily makes us happy! The music is great! Thank you for the reaction!
There are a lot of bands with great guitarists. There have been few with the luxury of TWO great guitarists. I go all the way back to Allman/Betts and Allman/Clapton, and I’ve never heard another song with two solos that were so great yet so different. This captures perfectly the contrasting styles and personalities of the two guitarists-Midori the extrovert and shredding demon, Miyako the introvert and goddess of blues (who can also shred when she feels like it). Really nothing like them, ever.
Ditto!! I saw Allman/Betts several times LIVE and while they were fantastic with talent there is NO comparison for shear command of the ax and then the harmonizing duos are at another level I have never seen going back to the '60. Compared to Hendrix, Lee, Kath and even Santana who were his contemporaries never thought Clapton was in their league especially LIVE ( I was able to see them all LIVE, what a gift when I look back now).
LOVEBITES is amazing. They are all endorsed artists. Midori is endorsed by Kemper and ESP. Miyako is endorsed by Peavey and Dean. I am actually kinda worried that some big-name band is going to throw a giant pile of money at Midori and try to steal her away from Lovebites. Haruna too. Victor-E better do whatever it takes to keep the princesses together. We already lost Miho. Wolfpack will be devastated if anything else happens. We can deal with weddings and babies.... we cannot deal with this band splitting-up!
Is there any actual action ? Victor Entertainment is a pretty big machine too. I hate to see the music scene becomes like soccer business, selling and buying players between clubs like a meat market.
Agree 100% The magic of LOVEBITES is in the synergy of the member's style and personalities. The remaining members must understand this. I hope they are looking for the perfect bassist to take that magic to the next level.
A 3 piece instrumental metal band you need to check out is Asterism, try the song, " Dawn " live. Nice reaction to Lovebites, i think you get & appreciate the musicianship and musicality.😎👌 P.S. I think its time to watch Miyako, slay the piano, try, " Revolutionary Etude + Swan Song, " live.❤🎹🎸🥁🎙🤘
Here you get the true picture of the polar opposites that the M & M show are all about. Midori/Blond with her shredding fingers scrapping your face off and then dropping out and letting Miho's bass slide you into Miyako/Black "Gary Moore" wailing solo (when she pulls out that Les Paul look out it is wailing time). Then Miyako drops the organ salute to Deep Purple in from her foot-board before they go back into the face slamming Thrash finish. Worry not every song by LB has guitar solos even when Miyako is on the piano or keyboards she manages to get to the guitar even if it is just to harmonize with Midori. If you want to see some great guitar solos then Signs of Deliverance LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/o6oVfCzruHQ/v-deo.html) a serious Dragon Force salute. Then you have Scream for Me LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/acwkphgzNg8/v-deo.html) where Asami/vocals calls a truce to save the guitars from going up in flames. Finally, We the United LIVE ( ua-cam.com/video/QraMvSa6QT4/v-deo.html) really shows off those harmonizing tapping, sweeping and picking in total sync moments in awesome detail.
Another great performance from the ladies! Miyako uses Dean - Peavey - Orange, while Midori uses ESP - Kemper - Marshall This song is without a doubt in my top favs! If you want more thrash try The Hammer of Wrath - ua-cam.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/v-deo.html (this is the best link, stay away from the Bloodstock video, terrible sound quality) Enjoy!! 🤘🙂🎸
Just a quick note because you mentioned Miyako's Dimebag Dean. She has another Dean (cutaway) that you saw on Holy War, and it is a very rare Dean Custom (they don't really do that), built exactly the way Miyako wanted it. She has a red Dean Flying V that is also a Custom Model - they make a budget Korean model, and an expensive Japanese made. She has modded them both by cramming extra capacitors under the back plate. She did a video about it on her channel.
They already break the wall - the wall of heavy metal.... they break and jump in... bite metal fan to become a wolfpack... LOVEBITES - the Alpha of the Wolfpack....
Miyako does a lot work on guitars to change the tone, mostly Dean, changing resistors ect. also using Fishman fluence pickups. ua-cam.com/video/9pYWabx3OXo/v-deo.html this explains what she does. When she breaks out the Les Paul you're in for a treat!!!
Midori and Miyako are unbeatable when those solo's hit. If you want more heavy goodness try Awakening/Hammer of Wrath ua-cam.com/video/otJZPUCwyOM/v-deo.html
Great reaction. Yeah, Break the Wall is fantastic. I think I only like it more the more I listen to it. And if there's one thing that is consistent with Lovebites, it's crazy guitar solos. You mentioned that you want to check them out in studio quality in your Set the World on Fire reaction and I would recommend The Crusade. Amazing Iron Maiden-esque song and a pretty cool music video to boot. Just make sure you check out the longer video, not the so-called UA-cam version.
Totally agree with you about solos being a necessary part of metal and hard rock. Would Boston's music be iconic without the guitar solos? What would Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd be without Gilmore's guitar solo. What would the world of Heavy Metal be but not for Ritchie Blackmore's 2 minute guitar solos. He was one of Miyako's influencers. Check out the UA-cam channels for Lovebites and official MIYAKO. There is a rundown of their gear and other videos. All of Miyako's videos have CC. She has done a couple videos in English for International audience. These women know their kits. Real pros. Asami has such stage presence and control of the crowd. Lovebites may not be on a lot of music dishing services yet. Their album covers a freakin' awesome. I know you will love them.
Midori has so much stage presence. I love both guitarists but Midori is my favorite out of this dynamic duo. This entire band is a once in a lifetime band. Can't wait until they come back.
Judging from your comments you should enjoy a journey through Japanese metal rock bands as most are built around a solid guitar sound. If you follow the lovebites trail you'll notice that they have a lot of musical influences and aren't shy to bring them into their music. So you get different playing styles, Miyako will swap guitars depending on the particular characteristics of the sound she is after. Eg Gibson for a more bluesy feel great bends, other times it's a strate then flying v or Deen, as a guitarist I'm sure you'll pick up all this, also they're a band. They perform and write music to complement each other, they have left egos at the door, first and foremost it's about the music
Your next stop then, if you're getting Slayer vibes, is to react to the opening song on this set, Thunder Vengeance. Miho wrote that song after actually seeing Slayer at Download Festival. After that, you should react to Hammer of Wrath. If Break the Wall were to give you Master of Puppet vibes, Thunder Vengeance straight out of Slayer, and Hammer of Wrath will definitely remind you of Anthrax. If Holy War was to be a nod to Megadeth, then they've shown their influences from the Big 4 without covering them.
Hey if you are an instrumental band I give you 2 great instrumental bands with fantastic guitars to catch: D_Drive Unkind Rain (ua-cam.com/video/m5G3nXJtSzQ/v-deo.html) Yuki (female lead) is stunning but her band is amazing. Asterism Dawn LIVE (ua-cam.com/video/buQPvINJcA0/v-deo.html) High School kids who have been a band since they were 11 and they write arrange and play all their own songs which are a fusion of Metal/Hard Rock/Jazz. Hal-Ca on guitar is only 16 but is a Hendrix clone (watch her finger work especially on the fret) and Miyu is 17 with that custom made 7 string bass (ESP made it only for him at 17!!). Here in a small club due to their ages they show off that exceptional musicianship.
LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics: (DIE) No sign of my time Cause I wish to live another life (BY) Who will save my poor soul? Crying alone in a dim hole (MY) Can't believe it's real Cause in the end, everything is gone (SIDE) How should I live from now? Find myself staring at the walls Tonight, I'll break the wall It's now or never Now, I'm on my own I've gotta get free Bite, I'll break the chain Run to my shelter Make it out alive I have to break through the wall (DIE) No sign of my crime Got my scars during wartime (BY) Who's the one that did it Deadly venom eating me inside (MY) Spent my life in vain I can't forget everything I've done (SIDE) I swear to my hatred Find myself staring at the walls Tonight, I'll break the wall It's now or never Now, I'm on my own I've gotta get free Bite, I'll break the chain Run to my shelter Make it out alive I have to break through the wall (DIE) No sign of my time Cause I wish to live another life (BY) Who will save my poor soul?

You should react to band Asterism, instrumental trio (drummer ,bass and guitar). Hal-ca (female guitarist) will show you what she can do with her guitar. Their songs Dawn, Star, Gunfire, Church, Faced/Burned. For more clear sound and view, they do live in studio and for the song Dawn, there is a video with 360 degree angle view live in studio.
Yeah, I can tell since your first LOVEBITES reaction that they have grown on you. They have that effect. Next stop, Scream for Me. But do avoid the Bloodstock vids, the audio engineering sucks.
Heavy metal at it's finest 🤘🐺
🤘🐺🤘 Best metal band...have subbed👍
2:11 My favorite
If daRiff is reacting happily, it will be fun here too! In the same way, watching them play happily makes us happy! The music is great! Thank you for the reaction!
the best answer to my favorite riff would be whatever Lovebites song is playing at the time. same for favorite song.

"all the rest" is shouting DIE - BY -MY - SIDE
Well if you're into guitar solos you're in the right place. With Lovebites its not a case of if there is a solo, but when and how long.
A 3 piece instrumental metal band you need to check out is Asterism, try the song, " Dawn " live. Nice reaction to Lovebites, i think you get & appreciate the musicianship and musicality.😎👌 P.S. I think its time to watch Miyako, slay the piano, try, " Revolutionary Etude + Swan Song, " live.❤🎹🎸🥁🎙🤘
yea when he mentioned instrumental only band trying not to be one big solo, I came down here to mention Asterism too. Dawn is a perfect song
The SHHHH is because she is trying to get the audience to all cheer together on the same beat and keep quiet on the others.
Here you get the true picture of the polar opposites that the M & M show are all about. Midori/Blond with her shredding fingers scrapping your face off and then dropping out and letting Miho's bass slide you into Miyako/Black "Gary Moore" wailing solo (when she pulls out that Les Paul look out it is wailing time).

One of my top favorites. HARUNA 🥁🏆 🤘🐺🤘
Miyako has her own youtube channel where she talks about her gear, unboxing her Dean guitars, modifications, etc.
Midori: Kemper/Marshall, Miyako: Peavey/Orange.

RockdaRiff, it's kinda hard to put into words, but I just don't remember concentrating on the "power stance" as much as I do while watching Midori's.
Midori has so much stage presence. I love both guitarists but Midori is my favorite out of this dynamic duo. This entire band is a once in a lifetime band. Can't wait until they come back.
Miyako uses an Orange cab with a Peavey head. Midori is using a Kemper but I’m not sure what cab.

Besides the solos, I love Miho's bass work and Midori's (💚💚💚) guitar work just before and during Miyako's solo.

LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics:
(DIE) No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life
(BY) Who will save my poor soul?
Crying alone in a dim hole
(MY) Can't believe it's real
Cause in the end, everything is gone
(SIDE) How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall
(DIE)
No sign of my crime
Got my scars during wartime
(BY)
Who's the one that did it
Deadly venom eating me inside
(MY)
Spent my life in vain
I can't forget everything I've done
(SIDE)
I swear to my hatred
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall
(DIE)
No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life

Who will save my poor soul?
Crying alone in a dim hole
(MY)
Can't believe it's real
Cause in the end, everything is gone

How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls
Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the-
I have to break through the-
I have to break through the wall

Check out the band Nemophila also they tear it up with seven string guitars and seven string bass.
Bass has 5 strings
