FYI, i realized that i said Rodeo should have been Rondo. LOL sorry. Also i have watched different concerts with this song. OMG they get better and better each time.

A teenaged girl Dancing in the Dark on a platform two meters above a rotating stage singing about a neverending dream of being chased by a faceless terror, begging a boon that it show her its face just once before she dies. That's Metal. That's Su-metal! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥 That was the sixteen year old Su. : ) Rondo is easily in my top ten BABYMETAL songs. Su performed three solos that night. She did 'No Rain, No Rainbow', followed by 'Akatsuki' earlier in the set. Yui and Moa (as Black BABYMETAL) did two songs without Su that night ('4 no Uta' and 'Onedari Daisakusen'), and they all performed a bunch of songs together. That Black Night Budokan concert from March 2014 is still one of my favorite BABYMETAL shows.

"Mischief of Metal Gods" intro is a ritual performed by the god of guitar, bass & drum to summoned the Metal Queen Su-Metal. because in this song hers human soul has been trapped in recurring nightmare and can't escape from there. The Kami Band in this show are : - Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo) - Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo) - Boh (6 string bass) - Hideki Aoyama (drum)

"The waning moon shines bright, but there's a gloom of rampant madness. I hear laughing all around. It bares its fangs and its eyes gleam. There's no escape. It flickers, appearing and disappearing in my mind. A nightmarish rondo keeps repeating. The light of dawn is so far away, I have no choice but to run through the darkness." Hi Olly! Good reaction! "Rondo of Nightmare" is a song about a girl trying to escape from... something. We don't really know what it is, and part of the song is that we never really find out. When Su-metal puts her head down and sings softly she's pleading with, whatever it is, to at least show itself before she perishes. As with all nightmares it never gets resolved. Su has two solos on each of the first two albums, where Moa and Yui have two duets each on the first two albums. The Kami Band are absolute metal masters and this "Mischiefs of the Metal Gods" intro really shows it! There's a pool of Kamis and they rotate in and out depending on availability as they all have their own bands and projects, but here in order of solos we have: Leda Cygnus (blue guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (gold guitar), BOH (bass), and Hideki Aoyama (drums). I can't wait until I'll be able to see them perform again....

BABYMETAL is awesome. Nuff said ....Band Maid and Lovebites are also amazing. Japan has something in the water .. cause those three bands have taken over my playlist.

Moa and Yui were downstairs catching up on their homework while Su was blowing the roof off the place with her vocals

To answer one of your questions, yes this song is one of Su's solo songs, to give the other 2 (Yui and Moa) a break. Yui and Moa have their own duet songs to give Su a break, as well.

Good reaction - you already have all the info I might have provided about this song and performance, so that's saved my fingers a bit. I will say about Su - what a presence, what a voice and what a performance.

If you have seen Babymetal, it's a very high energy show. They have moments in the set where Su takes a break, and Yui and Moa perform together, and when they take a break, and Su performs on her own. It's how they get through a 90 minute show.

Someone has already mentioned that the other two girls do some songs without Su. It's called Black Babymetal when it's just them. Here is a sample - Babymetal - Live at Budokan Black Night 02.03.2014 - Onedari Daisakusen - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns-mfbeemdTHmqM.html

*Akumu no Rondo* (Nightmare Rondo) The waning moon has lit up the insanity rampant in the shade. The laughter resounds around. It bares its fangs and its eyes gleam. I can't escape from it. It flickers slowly appearing and disappearing in my mind. A nightmare rondo is being repeated. The awakening light is gone far away out of my sight. I can do nothing but run through the darkness. In the woods, in the fountain, I hide myself holding my breath, but it's still coming closer to me. A stagnant voice. An endless night. Ah... If I can no longer get out of here, won't you show me your figure? It flickers slowly appearing and disappearing in my mind. A nightmare rondo is being repeated. The awakening light is gone far away out of my sight. I can do nothing but fall into the darkness. Translation by DU-METAL

Great reaction! Yes, "Rondo" refers to the musical style of the song. As per Wikipedia: "In rondo form, a principal theme (sometimes called the "refrain") alternates with one or more contrasting themes, generally called "episodes", but also occasionally referred to as "digressions" or "couplets". Possible patterns in the Classical period include: ABA, ABACA, or ABACABA." 🦊🤘

Those are some talented musicians on the stage. Holy...I'll say it again, it looks like one hell of a show they put on.

.-This is a top tier spell you have summoned: Queen of metal.

This song in this concert (Budokan march 2014) have two parts: First "Mischiefs of Metal Gods", the initial instrumental of the band and a second part "Rondo of Nightmare" Su-metal's solo song...

I was worried about your neck for a while in that one Olly! 😮😲

I have heard this song dozens, maybe hundreds of times over the last three years, and I still shake my head over the sheer beauty of that melody in the chorus.It's just so good, and creates such a great, convincing atmosphere. And Su's performance is really the icing on the cake. I really enjoy the drum solo during the intro as well. Some drummers tend to play stuff that may leave other drummers gaze in awe, but are not really entertaining for the casual listener. I find Hideki's solos very good in that respect.

Great reaction, you had the same reaction i did when seeing the bassist take his victory lap. Loved the just throwing up his arms like "yeah that just happened, I'm the bassist god"

I headbang like mad to the intro but stare open mouthed at Queen Su when she goes full goddess. Loved your enjoyment of this song 🤘🦊🤘

Get the bluray Olly!!! It's very cheap compared to the other BMs. Here in Germany it's under 10 euros! You won't regret it! Ah, and try to watch the free live-stream on BM official youtube june 28th, though I believe, that will be very early in the U.S. That concert will however be without Yui, cuz she left due to health issues, so only 2 girls on stage. And absolutely right: the other 2 were resting, as does Suzuka when the other 2 perform, cuz you cannot dance the whole show through without a bottle of oxygene haha!

2:03 That´s Dimebag influence baby. Getcha Pull!

Funny you say dont fall off as the two backing singers fell the night before. YuiMetal fell off the stage and returned the following song where MoaMetal then fell and hurt her knee and had grind it out in pain the whole song. Just consumate professionals.

this is insane, God Level ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great reaction and yeeah buddy!! Babymetal is really really awesome!!

🤘🦊🤘

But the band is absoleutly AMAZING!

The one at Tokyo Dome kill this one, sadly this kind of show off doesn't happen anymore if i'm not wrong, but i attended two of them years ago and still burned on my face and soul :D

You should also listen to PA PA YA YOU WILL LOVE IT

Great reaction you should check out black Babymetal the sub group in Babymetal which consists of Yui and Moa they sing the more heavier songs they have the most brutal song called sis anger. I suggest you check that one out it’s awesome

Yeah, Su got talent.

a little more info on Su-Metal this is the 3rd group that she was and is in.

would love to see you do Babymetal Distortion

This is a little sad to see Kami band play. because one of the guitarists passed away in an accident. He was on a winter vacation with his 2 daughters. He slipped and fell from a high platform.

Some very talented musicians in this band...and Su-Metal is a good vocalist. I'll keep listening to them if you're doing a reaction, but no matter how well they play, they're just not for me. Cheers!

Did you stop doing Babymetal reactions? It's a shame, since it looked like you genuinely enjoyed them!
