  • We just checked out Band-Maid’s From Now On music video and OMG…this one hit us like a freaking freight train! The band absolutely crushed it with this instrumental track. Kanami’s guitar work was straight fire, Misa’s basslines were unreal and Akane’s drumming…total beast mode! We cannot forget Miku…her rhythm guitar held everything together so flawlessly…adding that perfect punch to the song. Even without vocals, her energy and presence totally stood out. Seriously…this performance proves once again why Band-Maid are masters of their craft.

    Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this song performed live five times with this MV quality in Japan and dropped my jaw five times 😲. I believe so did many of American audience in their 2022 & 2023 US tours. This song has been normally played in the middle of the setlist to give Saiki, lead vocalist, some break. They played this song, however, as opening at festivals and in Guns N' Roses concert in Japan as support to the legendary band. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to the audience who knew nothing about the girls in maid outfit on the stage. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!" 😄

The two newer instrumentals I saw were Toi et Moi and Spirit and they are just out of this world. And at two of the shows I was right up front with Kanami about 6 feet away. Just priceless.

      Drove from Indiana for the Philadelphia show. I was expecting to be blessed with one of their instrumentals and was happy when it happened. It was a total surprise when they went straight into another one, and kind of made the whole concert even more special. (I don't know if Saiki needed a longer break or if Kanami et al just were in a mood.) They killed it, of course, but soon after this show Kanami was getting so exhausted they dropped 'From Now On' from the set list. It shows, not only how much this song can take out of the musicians, but how much effort and concentration Kanami puts into her playing. Every time I see other guitarists display their dexterity and technical skills, I have to measure them against Kanami and ask, "but how musical was it?" She is always a pleasure to listen to.

      I think a lot of people do not realize how much of a genius she really is. Here in the US the composing and songwriting is abysmal and it's gotten so bad that many of today's "artists", lol, are recycling hits from the 60's to the 80's. With Kanami we are looking at Mozart-quality compositions for the 21st Century. And when you add in Miku's lyricism, with Saiki's assistance, it's almost otherworldly.

    Tequila Jimmy and La Gringa, happy Monday! Band-Maid has three of the best instrumentals I have ever heard. "Onset", Don't Be Long", and "From Now On" are EPIC. "From Now On" has seriously heavy rock sounds, "Onset" is an uplifting, fun instrumental that highlights each Maid's prowess. "Don't Be Long" is just a fun romp the Maids used by the band during one of Saiki's "pee breaks".
    These Maid's can do anything in the genre from hard rocking instrumentals, to beautiful rock ballads, to acoustic sets that melt your heart. They honestly can do anything and do it with excellence.

      Rap and Hip-Hop - "Influencer"

    "It's different each time but it always sounds like Band-Maid". That is what you end up saying about a band which has achieved creating a genuine, authentic style of their own. Creating your own, unequivocably recognizable musical style is not a given, especially in music. it is even a rarity. And now, even if it was not enough said towards the uniqueness of this band, you need add to the Band-Maid recipe, a truly unique vocal signature, immediately recognizable among thousand of others, combining the delightflul mezzo voce of Saiki and the amazingly versatile backing vocals of Miku. A band like no others for ages.

AND they dropped their new album, Epic Narratives, Sept. 25. Order now!

There are a few other instrumentals out there, though only ONSET is on their YT channel. The others are DON'T BE LONG, WITHOUT HOLDING BACK and the DAWN WINERY THEME which can be searched easily enough on YT. Plus they have included bonus discs with blu-ray dvd's of instrumentals of various songs.

    Kanami's tone on this and Influencer has a very synthy sound. I think you're right about maybe a slight ring mod going on. As for her phrasing, I think she uses these odd (5- 7- 9-note) groupings, which could be a result of her study of Chopin in her youth, her favorite composer.

    Always look forward to your Band-Maid Mondays, and yes, this song absolutely kicks ass! ❤to both you guys and the Maids!
    Also, thanks for giving both Miku and Akane their due. I've seen so many reactions that totally ignore their crucial contributions.

    FROM NOW ON is an amazing composition, heavy and dark, but it has a very optimistic sound.
    It’s my understanding that KANAMI plays all the guitar parts on the studio recordings.

    Dyk a group of 4 guys on a reaction said Kanami was just showing off. They whined when she didn't play a solo long enough then when she goes all out they say she's overplaying. Well i don't give a sh*t cos Mincho plays everything with such feeling that she's unstoppable.😁

      Reminds me of the 2 prix who watched the Dice MV and cried "Autotune" at the vocals...pure trolling the Maidiacs in that case.

      ​@@philproffitt8363 OMG they tried to be as disrespectful as they could. They even criticised Saiki for her voice emotionally breaking at the end of "Endless Story". They deserved all they got in the comments.😡

    When this first came out it took me 5 days to find my face and put it back on! 😁
    This is definitely a more aggressive Band-Maid and I just love it. A note about Misa’s bass tone. What I’ve always loved about it is that no matter how high on the fret board she goes it’s always meaty and thick sound.
    I’ve seen comments about Onset and I highly agree it’s one to check out. The official live video from Zepp Tokyo is awesome.

    Great reaction guys !!!!!!!!! I'm an old guy and I remember back to when every rock band started a show or a set with an instrumental. I cut my teeth on groups like Don Wilson and The Ventures, The Rip Chords, The Tornados, The Chantays, Booker T. and the MG's, Santo and Johnny (with the timeless "Sleepwalk"), Dick Dale (with "Miserlou") and from England, The Shadows. In fact, The Ventures are extremely popular in Japan since their first trip back in the early 1960's. There are still Ventures tribute bands in Tokyo today.
    Band Maid has not only brought back great classic rock back to life, but have also turned into the best presently at instrumentals. My first video of Band Maid was, believe it or not, was Onset, and I was entranced immediately by their technical prowess. A lot of people hear instrumental and they think of a band just going crazy without any structure. That is NOT the case with Band Maid. Kanami's compositions are technically perfect, and after Akane does the drum patterns and Misa adds her outstanding riffs, they are masterpieces. Now that you have reacted to From Now On, you need to line up Onset, Without Holding Back, Giovanni and two new ones, Toi et Moi and Spirit. The music world owes a huge debt to Band Maid.

    Another BM Monday, another win from TJ & La Gringa. Great as always guys. I found the Maids through Thrill popping up on UA-cam. I watched and was impressed. An instrumental was the next thing i watched while i was thinking are these ladies the real deal? Onset omv and Onset live later. Fuck yeah they are. Havent stopped listening to them since.

    "Onset " was the first Band Maid instrumental I listened to. It is in my top BM song list. There is the instrumental MV "Giovanni " that is an exercise in speed. There is also an official version of that song with Saiki singing, so look for the instrumental music video.

    Great reaction to impressive instrumental!.
    This was the first Band-Maid song that I saw and it hooked me hook, line, and sinker 😝.
    Some great MVs to watch are as we Maidiacs call the white room videos.. They are just the instruments of songs without Saiki vocals.
    These are interesting to watch because they shows how Saiki adds to the identity of the song.
    🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!

    Back in 2022, Band Maid performed "From Now On" live in the US @Aftershock in Sac., CA. It was hot and it was the opening song. Kanami was a bit hesitant, coming off the pandemic break and now in front of the US crowd. By the time they got to LA (1 weeks later), they were on cruise control, and it was a truly memorable show with Misa's birthday celebration to boot, Po! 🦍🍌Hint: the US tour in 2022 happened in a span of Oct - Nov. Perhaps, we will get the same in 2025 🙏🏼

  • @coryowen1949
    @coryowen1949 Місяць тому +3

    My favorite BM instrumental, which is actually a song in the truest sense. Intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus; rinsed and repeated with typical atypical twists & turns as only Band-Maid can do. And of course, throw in an absolutely heart wrenching bridge by Misa, and a build to a crescendo of epic proportion, and you've got a truly nuclear track. First time I heard this, I knew this was gonna be extra special by the end of the intro; even before the opening riff to verse 1. Misa's descending 3-note crash was literally a punch to the gut in the most satisfying way. I can only compare it to being alone with your ultimate crush for the first time, when they shove you down on the bed prior to ravaging you in ways you've only dreamt of. FNO: 9.98. Onset: 9.96. My head, heart, and loins say, "Sorry...not sorry." This was a really fun watch, TJ & La Gringa...great reaction, as always.

    Have to check out Giovanni -- both the Instrumental version and the studio version. The studio version is the one with vocals; Saiki-san and Miku-chan. But underneath all of that is one of the best instrumentation I have heard. The instrumental version shows that. Might as well do a two-for-one. :)

    The song, in my opinion, is about a heroes journey; an action movie with a climax. They can put this in a movie, literally. Just listen to the emotional journey of the song. It's a masterpiece.

    Loved this since the teaser, before the album and video release. Without Holding Back, Onset and the instrumental version of Giovanni are all fantastic instrumentals too. There are other “white room” instrumentals but I think these three plus From Now On are the best….
