what i like so much about babymetal is that it breaks every single stereotype about metal. de band is amazing, and the girls can really sing, and have a great stage presence.
I think the reason that Babymetal works is because whoever put all the pieces together had the balls to not try and pander to anyone specifically. Usually when record labels and producers try to combine genres, they just end up half-assing both sides ...not fucking Babymetal, it's full on legit balls to the wall metal combined with properly represented J-pop with no compromise on either side. Most people would have probably made the metal part a lot less heavy and aggressive in order not to scare off non-metal heads but they didnt. The songs are super heavy and really well written. Plus, you can really tell that the girls and the guys on the instruments truly care and aren't just doing it to get famous and make money. I think it's great.
Btw... I always knew BABYMETAL had dedicated Fans... But having dedicated Haters also mean sometihng... They go out of their way to find all this videos connected to BABYMETAL, watch it and then hate on it... And on and on... on every one of them... Or maybe they are just to scared to admit that they like the music playing in background when they write their hate comments xD so
Some very good and wise observations by the fans! Babymetal: A Flashback to the Glory, shredding Ax, days of 80's Metal, with an odd but fabulous twist of Kawai Jpop, others, Jpn child stars, n dancing thrown into a crazy, awesome mix. Who woulda' thought it possible! Thank God for it!
Babymetal seem 2b a very polarising band, u either love them or hate them. I love them & there is more people that love them than hate them. A lot of metal musicians, mags, & record labels like Earache love'em. The haters come across like very closed minded miserable people that seem that they don't like to have fun, instead they'ed rather wallow in prejudice & hate. I guess that makes them feel hardcore & more metal than thou. I don't give a Rick about your definition of what makes real metal. Listen to whatever kind of music that makes u happy regardless of how it came to be. Babymetal may not be for everyone. You don't like'em fine nobody is forcing u to buy their music or go to there shows so u don't need to name call & talk shit about their fans. They're having fun you're probably not.
Here is a question for metalheads. Why do you think pop music has eclipsed Metal among the mainstream? It's a ligimate question and one which by no means is meant to discredit metal. There have been some fucking amazing metal bands through the years. However metal has forgotten it's own decree. It's become somewhat of an elitist social club. Now with many metal bands reaching retirement. It probably is a good time to worry about it's future. Fortunately however Japan never lost it love of Rock and Metal. Which has really become it's own raging beast. The stupid restrictions and elist mentality which had kept metal from evolving elsewhere. Has no such restrictions in the land of the rising sun. What has happened here is a musical renasounce. BabyMetal is like a flaming fire breathing unicorn on steroids. Yep that pretty much explains it I think. The world needs more of this kind of thinking not less.
2023-2024: 10 years since their first world tour, near 100 live shows around the world for year 2023 alone, 4 full albums, multiple collabs with names like Dragonforce, Sabaton, BMTH (Bring Me), Electric Callboys etc., they've managed to stay relevant in the scene & built a global fanbase with diverse following. And they have also become the unofficial gateway for newer Japanese bands especially the ones fronted or founded by female musicians e.g. Band-Maid, Lovebites, Hanabie, Nemophila.
Personally best Babymetal songs... 1. Headbanger (absolutely underrated) 2. Megitsune 3. onedari daisakusen (extremely underrated) Btw...i dont hate the "give me choco" song but god damn will people please get the hell off that song already....its by far one of their worst songs and if it wasnt for the whole topic of the song...chocolate...and it just being a weird ass thing to make a metal song about...it wouldnt be popular in the least. Especially when they have much better songs. Not hating on it...its an ok song..but damn people...get off it already...lol
mujahidah mardhiyah Lmao...no it doesnt. Its about girls who want to eat chocolate but want to watch their weight. Its not about anorexia, Babymetal was asked this question and they refuted it.
I would have more respect for the band if the girls played the instruments themselves. I even doubt they write their own songs. If they do then hats off to them. Other than that I dig them.
They do write/come up with the ideas they just get a lot of help with the composition of the songs and get taught it at the same time as that is what the school they attend is all about
Your Waifu Sucks thank you!!!! People need to realize, yes maybe he wrote some of his songs, but most of his songs were taken from other artists. People just skip over that fact.
This Baby Metal shit sucks! Just my opinion but these girls do not work for me. The musicians in their band are talented but that's all I will give them.The fact that a wall of death has even happened during their performance is almost laughable. Props for creativity though...

Love the Norwegian guy. "and the band behind is..fucking good" lol
Well, he is not wrong.
Babymetal fan here from the Philippines!

they hate because they love it.. and couldnt forgive themselves for loving something that doesn't suit their metal genre..
5 years late :(
Controversial stuff but you have to admit these girls make one hell of a show and they put a lot into it.
These people get it what the band is all about...they just want to have fun in a metal concert and Babymetal was able to deliver what they wanted.
best band in the world
BABYMETAL So EPIC and Pure Awesome!!! BABYMETAL RULES!!!!!
We Love BABYMETAL!!!!!!

Ha, anyone that hates Babymetal, Hates everything anyway. BABYMETAL came to save Rock.
BABYMETAL is a singular band. Everybody likes it or hates it, but can not ignore it.
I agree that it does bring more people to our metal side of the world.
I'm one of them! 🤘

#BABYMETAL winning metalheads around the world! Kitsune up! \bm/ Great interviews and opinions.

the live band is very good and i'd rather listen and watch to Babymetal than any of the pop crap
When I first listened, my mind was filled with thoughts about what this was? After listening again, I can't extricate myself, my favorite band
KITSUNE UP!!!!
Fun to see that there were more Norwegians in attendance. "And the band behind is... FUCKING good" lol :P
2:57 I love Asking Alexandria but that made me fucking laugh haha
おっ！こんなところにも出てたんだ２３年来のメタラー
Prepare yourselves, since these guys seem to be doing well, the Japanese pop idol industry is probably gonna be shitting out more of the same.
It makes me smile 😃😃😃

That's what I thought too! HAhaa
...ahaha! I'm on @1:19(the one reading a book) loool
Guthrie Govan @ 1:01
lee carter sugoi
Max Cevelara was right Metal died in the 90s

Shadownian Well probably you don't know that gimme chocolate actually talks about anorexia and eating disorder
mujahidah mardhiyah
Lmao...no it doesnt. Its about girls who want to eat chocolate but want to watch their weight. Its not about anorexia, Babymetal was asked this question and they refuted it.
Let me guess, the white masked black eyed dude is a norwegian. Norwenglish...lol
Babymetal is... Fun? At least it is for me. I am not BIG fan like these guys but I wouldnt deliberatly walk away from a babymetal show.
I would have more respect for the band if the girls played the instruments themselves. I even doubt they write their own songs. If they do then hats off to them. Other than that I dig them.
They do write/come up with the ideas they just get a lot of help with the composition of the songs and get taught it at the same time as that is what the school they attend is all about
Elvis doesn't write his own songs and guess what? He basically popularized rock n' roll
Your Waifu Sucks thank you!!!! People need to realize, yes maybe he wrote some of his songs, but most of his songs were taken from other artists. People just skip over that fact.
its weird to see metal fans like jpop...
I dont think so.
Katai Kintama i mean they know what jpop is.. that came as a surprise
Ronnie james dio/peter steele,,,rip,,,,,im so sorry,,,,,,please don't roll over in your graves tet.
