: "Choose Me" -- a song featured in the Netflix original movie "KATE" and the HBO Max series Peacemaker as BAND MAID, has so many great RnR chops, it's kinda unbelievable. From Saiki's old-school phrasing, cadence and a super soulful vocal at the end; MISA's driving bass, her special riff after Kanami's brilliant, rocking main solo (complete with harmonic pinch), and her pulls at the end of the song that really funks it up with Akane's drumming; to Kanami's original composition, off-beat octave stretches during the verses, and her addition of a second uncomplicated yet super tasty solo; to Akane's unique snare & tom flurry that launches the choruses; and to Miku's octave-down, in & out vocal backup and lyrics... all makes "Choose Me" a throwback rocker that surprised me when I first heard it - and I'll bet most anyone - that they would come up with this western-style, rock 'n roll classic. Of course, after years later, it's not surprising at all coming from this important band of geniuses who are, along with The Warning band, almost single-handedly bringing back the joy of rock. Here's a great live MV of "Choose Me" that's not quite as punchy do to the mix, but still good: ua-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/v-deo.html Thx, Ryan!
Well it's Saiki. You know how passionate she is, "HATE" anyone. She might just want the person to grab a knife and carve that Sh** right on their chest to prove that they love her. LOL.
Guitarist's main influence is Santana , bassist is Flea and Entwistle from The Who, drummer's is Ian paice from Deep Purple. just a warning, everytime you cut to comment the track comes back flanging with added reverb as well. . Maybe u r leaving your mic open when play resumes on clip.? regardless, good review. I subscribed. Freedom live has a good drum solo btw.
Nice review. Basic rule of thumb. LIVE. Always for Band Maid. Every song listened to not live is a song you got about 80% of. Choose Me, Live: ua-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/v-deo.html
Fun Fact: @4:29
Kanami the lead guitarist listened to classical, *Chopin* being one of her favorites. As far as guitar Kanami is a big *Santana* fan.
And Larry Carlton
And Eddie Van Halen. But they have opened for GnR
I forgot that! Busy band!@@DaElfer
Nice reaction. This is a fan favorite but the best version is usually the live versions. Thanks for continuing to react to Band-Maid.
No problem!

Band Maid! 🍺🥴🤘🏻🕊️
💜💛❤💙💚
"Shut up, Kanami is speaking"
Right!
Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Small kit, big sound = great drummer. That's Akane!
Hi B. Ryan...Band Maid "YOU" live in Tokyo 2018...top 5
Thanks! I'll add it to the list!
"engrave it on your breast" is not a good translation. It should be more like "engrave it onto your heart". Anyway, it is not about tattoo😁

Kanami 🔥❤️ Band-Maid 🔥❤️

Pretty sure Akane said in an interview that her inspiration for becoming a drummer is Nao from Maximum the Hormone.
🔥🍺🥴🙏

How dare you... compare Kanami to Slash?😨
And interrupt the guitar solo not once but twice😠👎👎👎
You interrupted Kanami three times. Unfortunately, I can only give one dislike.
