***I don't own any of the music in this video. This video is intended to support the content, not recreate or use for personal gain.
I take it from the comments, maybe..... MAYBE.... I should watch the live version?
I always recommend that new fans listen to the album version first. That gives you a point of reference. THEN listen to the live version.

Oh and..... Po!
Still one of the greatest introductions to band maid on UA-cam. Love it Champ.
Welcome to Band-maid. Like a lot of people said they are better live but there is a couple of songs you should do the music video of
Dice (mv)
Rinne (mv)
Blooming (mv)
Mostly everything else should be live.
I also prefer Alone and Yolo music vids. Mixes of the live versions don't do those songs justice imo.
@@drogonr9318 yea unfortunately the best live of YOLO (Akasaka BLITZ) was done just prior to Sai-chans throat surgery
THIS was kinda mentioned as the best Band-Maid first reaction video ever. So true. I am here for the...20th time? Just to get into a good mood!
IKR
So cool to watch this again three years later ! 🙂
The song "Dice" will steal your soul.
Edit: Akane (drummer) is one of the best drummers in the world, she is a beast.
Definitely check out any of their songs live...One of the few bands that are better live (depending on the quality of the video) and thats saying something considering their music is already ridiculously amazing.
jimmy page of Led zeppelin is a fan of Akane, that should be all you need to know about how good she is
There are drummers... and then there's Akane! Love her!
Japan produces incredible female drummers.
I was swinging back around to subscribe after finally making a proper account, and it only seems right to drop in and mention that this is by far one of my favorite first time reactions to Band-Maid out there. Your whole journey is a blast to watch and you're one of my go to reactors whenever anything new from them drops. Keep on keeping on!
3yrs later and still may favorite reaction. Stay strong Champ!
This is the best reaction for Band-Maid this year!! Especialy the moment at 7:08...
Good?? They are arguably the best hard Rock band on the planet today (IMO, they are the best ever in my 64 years on this planet)
Over 90 songs in their catalog and not a stinker in the bunch.
But you've only seen their music video, wait till you see them live!!!!!!
As for recommendations, just search for band-maid on UA-cam and go for it ... I'd recommend live performances except maybe for a few of their newer songs like Rinne, Bubble, Blooming, Dragon Cries (and their incredible Band-Maiko stuff which they pull out as an April Fool's video for their fans every April 1, pandemic not withstanding) which are too recent to have pro-shot live versions (but there are some fan cam videos out there as well that despite not having pro level sound still sound incredible and show that this band is for real with no gimmicks other than the maid outfits!?)
Congrats! You have found Band Maid. Get ready to have your mind blown again and again.
Champ, I really enjoy your comments a lot! BANDMAID is a band that SELDOM COMES ALONG! I have been BLOWN AWAY since hearing my first BANDMAID song which was “Thrill”! Their talent level is hard to grasp! Each member is a MONSTER OF TALENT and brings creativity that I have never seen before in a Rock Band! THEY ARE OFF THE CHARTS INCREDIBLE! OMG!!!
Band maid is absolutely amazing! Their live performances are fantastic to watch!!! Domination live is great and a personal favourite song would be Puzzle or endless Story!
Furthermore they write and compose their songs by themselves!
The fact that his is unusual is a sad state of affairs we are in.
A composer reacts to band maid, I'm interested. Good reaction. -Subscribed-
You asked yourself whether it was harmonics or slides in that transition spot. Yes she is going down the scale with harmonics, 7th fret, very fast played.
The "8th slide" you mentioned before the 2nd solo is a 3 string slide with some very fast played notes.
Their songs are always high-energy, melodic, catchy, mood-lifting, creativ, with so much to discover if you listen closely. Great songwriters and musicians. I love them.
Rock on!
This is a great reaction. One of the best Band Maid reactions of all time. Chase Camron, Champ, Wave Potter.
you have no idea just how good these amazing ladies are , but your gonna have so much fun finding out! best hard rock group on the planet right now Band-Maid are MAGICAL :) cheers loved the reaction and subbed
PS I love Dreamcatcher too. I love the gimmick haha
Welcome to Band Maid, good journey
U should hear Band-Maid - Blooming. Its gate of Band-Maid's paradise. I Promise u will shock about it.
The Band of our dreams ;) .
Highly energetic melodic hard rock with extraordinary positive vibes, or simply BAND-MAID.
Great reaction, it's obvious that you know what you're talking about. You're right about the great songwriting. You often have to listen to a song several times to discover all the great subtleties that they incorporate.
Great compositions, arrangements, musicianship and so many incredible songs.
Have fun exploring and rock on.
I legit wish I could go back and hear Band-Maid for the first time because it’s just that life-changing.
Me too!
You're going to enjoy most of their catalog.
I’m now going to go and read all the comments that will say that you were supposed to watch the live at line cube shibuya version of this song with the extended solo portion...
Never heard of these people but this was reeeeally cool
check this out amigo... ua-cam.com/video/3gD5vmdLY-k/v-deo.html
Band Maid just uploaded their live instrumental from April 2018 on their UA-cam channel, Onset live. You should check this one out while still available.
I love comparing the official live with the low quality cell phone videos. just to see how constant this band is.
I am 66 year old metal/rock head, I discovered this band about a year ago I’m obsessed they are not an act, they are a real rock/metal band there is no weak link in this band , tight and each ones skill set is amazing, you’ve got to listen to Domination live. It takes alot to get me excited because I grew up going to early Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf , Deep Purple etc etc, love new talent that pushes envelope and boundaries, Exploring this band is going to be a great journey, my bucket list is to see them live, try Dice, Moratorium, Puzzle ,Take Me Higher, Play-then you have about 75 more to explore-🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Discovered them about 9 months ago and now one of my favorites. They are just a lot of fun to listen to. Extraordinarily talented musicians playing extremely well constructed songs with choruses that are catchy as hell. Have fun!
Ok. This is awesome. I want more of them.
Right!?
Now go for the live version of Domination! And be amazed. They are a hard rock band but they flirt with many genres, metal, funk, blues and even punk sometimes. Enjoy the ride!
BAND-MAID = New subscriber.
Awesome reaction! Now to hear this song live :)
Dude, they have over 80 songs, all amazing, just waiting for you to analyse. They are a one-in-a-life-time band that have so much flexibility and range. The sound, and feel of each of their songs are so complex and distinct, it's unbelievable that they could churn out an album a year for 6 years straight. I've listened to their albums over and over, and it doesn't get old at all. Never has their been a band this capable. Incredibly talented band.
The only "swing and a mini miss" you have on this one is you got the MV (which is great as well) but the LIVE version from 2/14/2020 is even better. You will hear folks say they are even better live, and they are. My wife and I saw them in San Francisco in 2018 and yes, they are even better live. Really more hard "classic" rock with metal/punk/jazz/about anything tossed in though. And tons of fun/stage presence as well as being about as cute as they come. 🤘
whoa surprised you hadnt listen to Band Maid before!
I think the only J-rock I've ever heard is Babymetal... and random anime theme songs.
@@TheChampOfMedium if you want to know more jrock, you must listen One ok rock, My first story, Man with a mission, Survive said the prophet, Coldrain, Fear and loathing in las vegas, Spyair, Passcode, if you want more heavy you can listen Maximum the hormones, SiM, Crystal lakes, Nocturnal bloodlust, Crossfaith, Unlucky morpheus, Lovebites (girl power metal bands) and many more..
@@andrizarefinaldi298 J-rock rabbit hole is DEEEEEEEP..... ;o)
A total mindf**k hearing them the first time. You are instantly hooked. You're so lucky to have 50+ just brilliant songs to go. They will all be your favourites
Best Female Hard Rock Band In The Planet 🤘🤘🔥🔥🤘🤘
youtube algorithm somehow got me rewatching Champ's 3rd, 2nd & 1st B-M reaction videos in a row 😂...the look of realization on Champ's face at 7:10 is somethig I'm sure a lot of us B-M fans have experienced....finding THE BAND
I think the only thing that I like better than watching Band-Maid videos is watching someone discovering Band-Maid for the first time.
You've been hooked!!!!! Happened to me too.
Saw them live a couple of years ago and haven't stopped smiling since. These girls are the real deal, they write and arrange all their own stuff now and produce some of the best feel-good rock around today. I've been a musician most of my life and, like you, I am amazed at the layers in their music.
You must listen to some of their live stuff. Try Puzzle, Turn Me On, Moratorium, Real Existence.....that should be ok for starters!😁
I’ve been waiting for this since your first Dreamcatcher reaction. Thanks ! It only gets better with Band Maid. You will love their live performances.
I'm with your brother, Good reaction! You have not even scratched the surface with this band. I have been sucked down the Band-maid rabbit hole for some time now and I cannot see myself getting out. Not only are they TOP NOTCH musicians but damn good songwriters. I think they are not capable of producing a bad tune.
Their live stuff is amazing. I would check out "Play (Live version)", "Moratorium", "Puzzle", "Alone", "Real Existence", "Dice", "Blooming" there are a few to start with. They do have a vast number of videos did not want to list them all. They are all good and worth checking out. Someone said: "The best Band-Maid song is the last one you heard" and I agree. These Band-Maidens are the REAL DEAL!
Watch the live version of this song
Dude. Ya need to see this live.
The Feb 14, 2020 live version of this song is really great too... They cooked up a change mid song and pulled it off flawlessly.
youtube just gave me this on random. look at that. the start of an maidiac
Still one of my favorite reactions.
Ahh, I'm so glad you did this react. I love Band-Maid. SO good.
"I like girls better than I like guys, sorry gentlemen. It's just how it is." - LOL that was funny af, even tho the main reason you'll fall in love with this band is their incredible music. This is a truly great band and it's always a pleasure watching someone new stumble upon them.
Probably the best Band Maid Reaction EVER because it captures exactly how I was slayed by them two years ago when I first heard them..........Saiki is amazing I am a 68 year old former jazz fusion prog rock drummer and Akane constantly amazes me. Misa is incredibly inventive. Kanami is a musical prodigy
Having watched his later Band Maid reactions, watching the first one is hilarious.
On first glance, you'd think that Band Maid were just a gimmick, created by a music corporation. However they are anything but a gimmick.
The band was formed by Miku (rhythm guitar, vocals), who previously worked at a maid cafe, and wanted to create a rock band with the whole maid image.
She proceeded to recruit Kanami (lead guitar) after a internet search. Kanami than recommended Akane (drums), who she'd worked with previously in the past. And in turn Akane recommended Misa (Bass guitar). They then added the final member Saiki (vocals) after holding auditions.
And a few other songs that I would recommend.
Daydreaming - ua-cam.com/video/RCaeUkrItyY/v-deo.html
YOLO - ua-cam.com/video/wKZbzcUdY1g/v-deo.html
Glory - ua-cam.com/video/TAMiLTiXPpU/v-deo.html
Dice - ua-cam.com/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/v-deo.html
One of the things I really like, when watching and listening to someone who actually knows and understands the music, is that I'm learning some of WHY I love listening to some bands and groups.
You're picking out things I would have missed, as I just don't have the training, or ear, to identify them as being what makes these ladies 'special' - my thanks, and much😎👍
I'm not surprised by what you are saying and I'm am learning more about music through your breakdown
I'm reciprocating the like. You got your time machine fixed then. Or is it a imperial cruiser?🍻
@@GaryHolloway-810 lol. Imperial 😉
@@curtisrrobles7885 I guess you'll be retiring to your Cryo-chamber soon.😴
@@GaryHolloway-810 💯🤙🏽my shift is over. You guys carry on 😉
@@curtisrrobles7885 Have a nice sleep, i'll speak to you later :)
Band-Maid brought me here. If you keep going down this rabbit hole, I'll subscribe. 90+ songs to go, and not a single dud. Nothing like this has happened since the Beatles.
They've got advanced degrees in music. Very highly educated pros before they got to live out their dreams doing this.
lol so cool that its recorded watching champ quikly progress from "damn their hot and play good" to "oh shit this is something else"
Nice Reaction. Favourite Band Maid, check out RINNE.
I'm back for our champs return this week!!!
awesome
They are very BRAVE in terms of creativity . Usually you can make 5 songs from the materials of this song . But they put everything into it just because they are very confident to make other new songs with new musical ideas .
You are correct. This is it.
Welcome to your new (and last) favorite band
Don't You Tell Me live, that guitar/bass battle is the stuff of Rock Legends...
Band Maid is amazing and I can almost never turn them up loud enough. They are THAT good. Dice, Play, Non-fiction days, they have a lot of very good stuff. If you can find Moratorium, OMG, one of my favorite.
Careful with j-rock and copyright strikes, Band Maid is usually ok with reactions.
MISA MISA MISA!
I found DREAMCATCHER and Band-Maid in Feb 2018. Welcome to the musical train to heaven.
Live versions of everything are always awesome, especially their live shows at Shiubuya from Feb 2020. "Real Existence" and "Dice" are great. I always find something else to like in the well-rounded "Blooming." Who knew you could make happy, catchy hard rock? It's about perfect.
You have no idea what you're in for. These girls do it all from heavy to light. They so many good songs.
Heavier songs - Moratorium and rinne
Inbetwen - Blooming, Alone, Choose me
Lighter - Daydreaming, anemone
The crazy part. They are even better live. They have an official live of this song on their channel and it is unreal how good they are.
Welcome friend to an amazing band
Welcome to Band-Maid one of the best Jrock bands that I have ever gotten into you can’t go wrong listening to any of their souls we are all great to me we have 80s 90s early 2000s rock style. listen to their Live stage shows they’re even better. And you would probably be interested in listening to the one song (the dragon cries )they did that all in English it’s a little bit different style than the usual . I fell in love with his band two years ago to me they are the best😉👏👍🏽😎🔥💕
This band writes and composes all their own songs. They are extremely talented artists and they are even better live.
If you want another band of your dreams you should react to Lovebites too. Another all female japanese band but Heavy Metal this time (Band-Maid is in fact a Hard Rock band) :)
Awesome Reaction and YES you should watch the LIVE ver. Feb. 14th 2020 and then " PLAY " LIVE 2018 concert ( they do a Bass - Guitar Duel ) you'll LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow so you also did Band-Maid. You got me.
I feel you... I watched Babymetal for a goof, liked it.. saw a bunch of maid girls in the recommendations... sure why not we're already down this road I guess. Next thing I know I have a new favorite band.
If you want to find out how good musician they REALLY are you should check out Onset live (released today). It's instrumental without any crazy shred just to show off, but just a proper song. I've worked professionally as a bassist/sound engineer for 10-ish years. I hold Misa on bass as one of the top 10 bassist in this kind of rock/heavy metal type setting. It is just silly how good she is!
Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID... you are in for a long satisfying journey of being blown away by so many songs. Yes they are better live but any video is fantastic... check out their website for more videos live and studio enjoy
More Band Maid Reacts !
Comin tomorrow homie
Thank you for the analysis that is better than the reaction.
I don't think there is a band that incorporates multiple riffs in one song other than progressive music. Blooming is recommended.
A puzzle is recommended for the ability of vocals.
There are no bad songs by this group. Prove me wrong.
One thing you will notice in Band-Maid songs is that the 2nd verse is almost always different from the first. They throw in variations and embellishments.
I LOVE that
also pay very close attention to the bass-player Misa. She is almost always going off even if she's in the background. Honestly you can listen to most of their songs many times and hear something new each time.
That’s probably my favorite thing about this band because this is one of the only bands I’ve ever seen/heard that does switch up the verses. It takes balls to even attempt it because you could potentially write yourself into a corner if you blow your load of riffs to the detriment of other songs your working on.
@@artist_37 MISA!!! MISA!!!!! MISA!!!!!!
Welcome to the Band Of Your Dreams! Keep on going. Dive down the Pigeon Hole, po. Please give us more reactions, as soon as possible.
Don’t know if anyone already mentioned it, but you hit on one of their key “tricks” - they always change up the 2nd verse with different riffs or drum patterns when compared to the first. They aren’t content just to repeat the same thing. Also, they are just flat out awesome. Akane (drums) is an absolute beast!
Great reaction, but the MV doesn't do the song justice. "Domination" live (Line Cube Shibuya 2020) has a multi instrument solos breakdown & it's absolutely killer. Kudos.
they are like old metal bands that live version is very different to studio ver. specially the solo parts
💯🥃🥃🥃🤙🏽
Plz react to myavi. He’s a great rock Japanese musician. I personally like his English track ‘in crowd’. This song had similar vibes to this particular bandmaid song. He’s also a fantastic guitarist.
As many will say Must see live ,live ,live. Did I say must see live .
They like to incorporate little sounds here and there in their songs. Their live version of Domination is much better so do try it. The best hard rock back in current times.
I wanted to relate to the whole band of my dreams thing, but I realised something, I never had any dreams that good.
I saw this reaction when it was new and I'm coming back to it again. This was not the first B-M song I heard, far from it, but I do recall the feeling.
Live Zepp versions so good. Check them all out.
I suggest further down the road after you've exhausted all the songs(there's a lot). check out a good quality raw Cam version like one uploaded by 'Vladimir Chupin' from Hamburg,
Welcome to the BAND-MAID pigeon hole. These ladies rock and they rock hard. If you liked this song guess what, they are better "live" and worth every penny to go see them.
This is the first video of yours I listened to. I have been listening ever since. I will check you out December 2nd.
You should hear the live version.
Watch that live, you get extra solo
If you got this excited by the MV, you will piss your pants when you see the live version!
For me, I found, quite by accident their first Music Video "Thrill" and fell in LOVE, and it just gets better and better. As some have told others, you have gone down the BAND-MAID rabbit hole, hold on and enjoy the trip!
This is worth seeing again. Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton
Heavy nasty riffs coming with the title "Thrill"
Should hit that up, dude. I honestly love your reaction :3
Amazing (and "amazing' is an over-used word but they are amazing). I can hear some Dream Theater in there. :)
