Good reaction - shame you missed out on seeing the Legend 1997 performance (that was from December 2013 and it was Su-metal's 16th birthday celebration Gans Tomas and abr metal both have high quality videos for that performance that are easy to find). This compilation video used clips from so many different concerts spanning maybe 7 or 8 years or more - if you watch it again you will notice all the different stages and the changes of costume. Yes the Kami Band have been ever present since early 2014 and they were playing for the encores in some shows from as early as 2012. The Kami Band of the East last appeared in January 2023, the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) have supported BABYMETAL on the lengthier foreign tours since 2019 and have been ever present for all concerts since April 2023. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but 15 is significant in Japan as compulsory education also ends, so the girl is realising life will never be the same. She is having to grow up, she will no longer be considered just a child and her first 15 years passed so quickly, so she etching this special night into her heart so she will never forget. There are special versions of 'Headbanger' from other special occasions as well. The Legend D concert in December 2012 for Su-metal's own 15th birthday and the Legend 1997 concert in December 2013 celebrating Su-metal's 16th birthday both started with a (very obviously and deliberately lip-synced) dance remix version ('Headbanger - Night of 15 Re-Mix'). At concerts on or near their own 15th birthdays in 2014 Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne) took over lead vocals for 'Headbanger' half way through when Su handed them the mic and stand - she took their place in the choreo. Only fancam videos exist for those performances. The same thing happened in 2019 at the Legend M concert celebrating Moametal's 20th birthday (20 is (or was) the official age of majority in Japan). Moa once again took over lead vocals after Su handed her the mic and stand - and the lyrics were changed to "...this special night of my 20th...". Most recently in March this year at the Legend MM concerts celebrating Momometal's 21st birthday we got her version on the day before her 21st (she was not an official member the year before so she did it to mark the last day when she was still 20).
Nice reaction! This was a compilation video, not the "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" performance. You see the stage at the Makuhari Messe Event Hall, where the "Legend 1997 Apocalypse Su-Metal Seitansai" concert (her sweet 16 birthday party!) happened, with the beginning of the interlude, when Yui and Moa use the fog guns, for just a few seconds. The compilation was made up from a LOT of live performances, and each performance was a banger (like the song itself😉).
👍You have 5 more to experience. HeadBanger MV, SuBanger97, 'Headbanger - Night of 15 Re-Mix', MoaBanger, MomoBanger, YuiBanger. They are all special. 🦊 🖖❤
It is not a bad compilation, but some specific performances are better than a mash up. The "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" version is one of the top 3 performances of this song. They age about 10 years over the various clips.
Welcome back to the Foxhole 🦊🤘🔥 Unfortunately you fall on a live compilation, isn't the original live at Legend 1997 in 2013 which is even more epic and impactful with the outro, this song is very special for the girls and has been performed several times in specific special events during their birthdays but it's also a fans favorite and that's why got a lot of live versions. Anyway enjoy the live version at Legend 1997 in your own time if you want. Next suggestion to come back with another outstanding live performance from that same show: - Babymetal Death live at Legend 1997 (2013), just remember that we are -NotACult- 💀👀 See you next time 🦊🤘
👍 👍 BABYMETAL is THE best LIVE band on the planet See what they have become today (below) For a change of pace and a recent performance I suggest Monochrome LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from For The Fox God channel
It’s a pity that you reacted to a compilation video. Compilation videos are, in my opinion, an insult to both the viewer and the band; the music is certainly overdubbed, and the changes in venue and costumes (sometimes even personnel) can be confusing if not completely annoying. You are not reacting to BABYMETAL, you are reacting to a highlight reel of BABYMETAL. An excellent song but a piss-poor video. I simply cannot understand why reacters can't go to the official UA-cam channel for BABYMETAL. If getting blocked is your greatest concern, I'm sure some artistic editing and two or three well place pauses should alleviate that. But adding insult to injury, I posted a comment that included the best version of this song on your "Gimme Chocolate!!" reaction video - clearly was it overlooked, forgotten, or simply not read at all. No matter: it's your channel, you do as you do. 🦊🤘

Spoiler alert! Monochrome and BxMxC are both bangers!
