Still one of my favorites. The A/B vocals between Saiki and Miku are just wonderful!

Of their older stuff, for me, Freezer is one of the absolute standouts. The vocals take it to another level.

I have been trying to emulate Mincho's playing since I first started listening to them over two years ago. But she does things I still can't figure out. She is so original in her phrasing. But man I am having so much fun trying. Her playing is unreal.

Freezer is just a good rock song. Love the vocals on it.

As for the most, the duo Saiki & Miku are also for me the outstanding part of this song. Their interplay is just great, and I absolutely wouldn't mind hearing something similar from them again in the future. Although I know the history of this band and how they came together for quite a while now, it still surprises me sometimes how well they complement each other and how one gear meshes with the other. Especially with songs like these from their early days. _____________________ 【 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊

Recently i have been repeatedly hearing this song non-stop on my way to work and back home. And i will sleep by the FREEZER.

Love the vocals in this song! Saiki and Miku sound, as always, great together! Great harmonies!

Wow!, the sixth Maid!!. Or the second Maidiac (Gary is first, 🤷). Excellent chucky guitar sound Ryan. Great song, great job.And yes, you are absolutely right. The countermelody under the vocal choirs is Miss Tono's trademark.

ROFL!! at least youre honest about it Ryan! :D lol dont worry, you listen to it some more. more Mincho than usual in the solo part. Miku has the ability to blend with Saiki's voice/and or go higher/lower to fill out the vocal range in the singing. :)

Another totally loveable Bandmaid song, they seem to have alot of them😉❤😎👌 I was listening to, Endless Story earlier & was marveling over Miku & Saiki's vocals, this song is another example !

Freezer is a badass tune! Good job Ryan

Hey!!! You're playing Band-Maid! 😍 This is one of those mistakes that end up becoming great things, cause it was awesome to wake up and find you rocking out to this cool song 😎 This is definitely one of my favorite songs from their older albums and I think it has one tasty solo, plus you already know the vocals are pretty interesting. Even if we didn't get to see you react to this one I still enjoyed your video, like always. Rock on, Po! 🍺🤘🕊️🖤

Such A Great Track! 😎 On the 8th Day, The Lord created Miku Kobato (Po!). 🕊🎸 ...And on the 9th Day, Koba found Mincho. 👸🎸 ...And on the 10th Day, Mincho found A-chan. 🍌🥁 ...And on the 11th Day, A-chan found MISA MISA MISA. ⚔ 🎸 ...And then, on the 12th Day, BAND-MAID found Sai-chan. 👑🎤 The rest is Rock-n-Roll History! ♥

It's another song written for them with so much band-maid-ism. Your guitar cover of the intro was a very welcome bonus! Thanks as usual!

The dual vocals on this song is so cool. Miku has such a great range 🙂 . Loved your guitar part. A bit short though.

Ryanさん、素晴らしい演奏ありがとう！ Freezer is one of my favorite early BAND-MAID songs. The vocal interplay between Saiki and Miku and Kanami's guitar solo are fantastic.

ミクは常にバンド全体における、自分のボーカルの効果的な演出を心がけている。これによって、最高にスパイスの効いた多重的な楽曲に出来上がっている。Miku always strives for effective presentation of her vocals in the band as a whole. This makes for a supremely spicy and multi-faceted song.

Great performance 😍

What a jam! These ladies have such a catalog of amazing songs!

Another great oldie in the vein of Freezer is Order, where MISA developed sore fingers and her slapping technique, and Kanami shows us her new tapping skills. Thx, Ryan!

I like Kanami's decision to go with the neck pickup with the solo. Got a cool, funky sound to it.

Okay, so 1) great job with the riff - do I see a guest appearance at a serving when they finally get to visit us? 2) Love the way Kanami lives on the tonal "edge" in her solo, playing around with chromatic dissonance just to make you raise her eyebrows. I had a 3 but I forgot - enjoyed it, Ryan!

Fun and genuine as usual - with a pro-level headphone flip that did not go unnoticed! That request now unfrozen.

Freezer is one of their many gems. Some others that Ryan has not (heard?) reacted to: I Can't live without you Mirage And of course Awkward 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

One of my fave from their early recordings. Love the guitar riff. So catchy. Nice intro cover btw 🎸🤘

Yes another banger from their early stuff! Thank you for being honest (and funny af 😂), another reason why I like watching your vids. One thing tho sometimes your text is covered by the images you insert it's a shame I like reading it you always write pertinent and interesting things. Freezer is a freaking good song and it has one of my favourite Kanami's solo! If you want to hear something that is actually from Conqueror try Mirage, Catharsis or Flying High you won't regret it and I'll keep asking for Awkward until you do it 😉 Keep up the good work 👍

Freezer is top ten BM for me. I love the vocal interplay, I wish BM had not strayed so far from the dual vocal concept because it really works. BTW I bet you'll love Flying High off conqueror. Also Beauty and the Beast has cool vocals where Miku takes lead with Saiki supporting and one of BM nastiest breakdowns. :)

5 times hu? Well, this was one of those from "New Beginning" that I loved right off. I first bought that CD (my first Band-Maid one) mainly because it had "REAL EXISTENCE", and I knew this was the first one to buy. And "FREEZER" instantly became one of my favs because of these back and forth vocals between Saiki and Miku and obviously the riff... and yeah, I love Kanami on WahWah... ... great opening video!! Loved it, looks like a fun riff to play along...

This song rips so hard live.

Really Ryan, cool song “Freezer” by Band-Maid 😂. Thanks, as always for comments,reaction and a little guitar playing as well.

Freezer is one of the first songs I really deep dived in to the drums. Akane is REALLY busy and changes things up a ton throughout the song.

Hell yah Ryan been a long week looking for something good and here it is lets go!

Man, I love your reactions, even when you frak up, always good fun !!!

Love the fails and then owning up to it... made me LOL for sure. I also discovered this track not too long ago, and as one of their earlier ones, the instruments are not too complex, but this was still during the time where they did a lot more twin vocals, and dual leads as you mentioned. Saiki still does more it seems but I like hearing Miku mixed as a lead vocal as well. The chorus is what hooks me to this song for sure.

This the best "first time fifth listening reaction video" I have never seen!!! 😏🤣🕊️ Take care :p

The RIFFZ! The VOCALZ! The FILLZ! "FreeZer" is just ANOTHER Band-Maid song where I begin to question reality. Am I dreaming? Am I in a DaZZZZE? Thankz Ryan! (shredder) 🔥

Freezer is a good solid song and is probably my all time favorite of theirs.... but then, anything from the ladies is going to be great!

haha thank you. you legend :D glad you enjoyed it. now to find something else to bug you about :P

Your technical insights are fascinating, if sometimes over my head. But there is no denying how special their sound is, no matter how they get there.

It’s a kick ass song, and don’t worry about any mistakes to much it’s just KZfaq and if it really bothers you, just hop in the time machine. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Band maid - dont let me down bro 🙏

Oh, man... what a ckusterfck of a video. I think that's what I like most about these reactions -- the realness. It's why I subscribed. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it and enjoy the music --even if it takes 3 times to get it right. I mean, we did get that cool play-along in the beginning because of it. ;-)

Thanks for the analysis and the guitar riffs Ryan 🤘🏻BAND-MAID🤘🏻 > ⚡️Tesla⚡️ > 👎🏻Edison👎🏻

Heard it five times, still has big smile on face. Miku was still learning the guitar and other people were writing the lyrics, so her vocal interplay with Saiki was most of what she brought to the band. It opens with that cool guitar riff, but my favorite part is when MISA joins in and plays over the top of the riff.

KANAMI does it like this - - - please note the Octave: Digitech Drop. This is a dedicated polyphonic DROP tune pedal that allows you to DROP your tuning from one semitone all the way down to a full octave. - - - - From KANAMI's radio interview. PRS Custom 24 (Purple) Mahogany Body - I have tried other guitars as well. Among those I’ve tried, PRS was the perfect guitar for my image of BAND-MAID songs. PRS Custom 24 (Green) Korina Body Amps Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier 4×12 Recto Standard cabinet Effects - When I compose, I don’t think much about the effects. I use it to enhance the songs I've already written live. Here are the typical settings of my pedalboard: Delay: Free The Tone FT-2Y, Eventide TimeFactor - I prefer using Digital Delay on the TimeFactor and on the H9, I use Spring Reverb. I use Free The Tone FT-2Y in a series circuit because it adds delays to a set tempo. TimeFactor is used to connect sends and return effects to clean and solo channels. On the other hand, I use H9 only for songs that use reverb. Currently, I only use it for reverb, but I would like to try more algorithms in the future. Reverb: Eventide H9 - I am a big fan of Eventide's so I want to keep using it forever! Volume: Shin’s Music Perfect Volume Drive: One Control Strawberry Red Overdrive, Fulltone Obsessive Compulsive Drive Overdrive Distortion - I use the boost pedal to add more gloss and deepness in the clean channel or to amplify the sound of the solo or riff. Booster: Friedman Buxom Boost Compressor: Pete Cornish OC-1 Noise Reduction: ISP Technologies Decimator II Wah: Morley Steve Vai Bad Horsie 2 Octave: Digitech Drop

Ryan! Coming back to that particular song and reaction. I am on Chile red wine, but I had a couple of great sake cups before the Dragon came back from work... This is one their rare songs better enjoyed for the sake (I am on wine, ah ah! Cheap, very cheap joke...) of listening at any chosen moment than at a live concert. It has this almost impossible to translate French expression, "lancinant" (hard to get rid of, insistent as for pain, hurting as the part "lance" would infer) quality to it. It stays and stays with you, not letting you away (for sheer insistent pleasure). The kind of song you will find yourself humming away... Lucky I write about gastronomy and tourism for work, or I would end up justifying myself to perplexed fans all day! So many times have I heard I am an impossible big head! Your fault? Definitely, at least partly! LOL The Dragon has felt asleep in front of her wine! Bliss! Best regards and all that! Robert-Gilles

Good Job Ryan san👏 Arigato 🙏

I have always liked this song. Like you said , the vocals just hook you.

THIS SONG IS MY JAM

This is my favorite of their older stuff

Ryan where did u get that t shirt? I know a lot of the younger viewers wont get it but I want one !

enjoyed the review - totally agree, great riff, great rock song, great vocals - love the key change in the solo - BTW great t-shirt

Thanks for the breakdown and review Ryan. This is such a good non single track off the album.

Differently no harm in listening to it 5 times 10 times 100 times all is good.

Love this song! Thanks for the reaction (it was OK as well... :))

I still can't understand that the speakers in my car are still alive and working after all the times I played Freezer and Shake That...?🤣 Both songs must be enjoyed at maximum volume!

No way Miku's tongue is that long.

Ryan you sound great I was hoping you going to play it all the way though. One my favorite I use listen this on night shift in Afghanistan.

Opening intro play great. You reaction video wonderful.

Great song; great review. Miku's voice has a bright tone, and that compliments Saiki's dark tonal quality. I think Saiki said once that she likes singing the darker songs and leaves the brighter songs to Miku. Don't worry about stuffing up. I do that all the time.

あなたのギターの演奏、、すごくよかった！

I wish they would do a few more (new)songs where the go back and forth with the vocals like that. You did a good job saving a failed reaction attempt. It's too bad Miku still screwed you over by covering your on screen text.

Sounds good to me Ryan

lol it really took this long to hear Freezer, but eventually.... :)

All you need now is the maid uniform. 😄

ey i heard that waaayy more often and still love it so all good , just nerd out and enjoy^^

Wow i'm the 100th comment, that's bound to guarantee me a prize or something. Ryan there is nothing holding you back from being a ready made member of BAND-MAID now....Hang on, i can see your lack of womanhood being a problem :)

it seems like the more reactions i watch to Band Maid the more i learn about music theory. and honestly music never interested me in that way i liked metal and electronica. now i pick up a guitar or keys and play around for a few everyday i don't know anything but it sure is fun!!!

"Key" is a great hard rocking song from their very first album.

Damnit brother, you can play. Nice...

Kanami❗️crazy Solo🎸❤️🎶

MAIDS-ROCK

BM may have not written this song, but it is rock and roll.

one of my favorite BM song.. 🤘🤘

i'd sell my other nut just for that reverse headstock!

I honestly didn't think that I would enjoy this I only turned in because it's one of my favourite songs. There's a guy called PinD and he's doing photo collages of early BAND-MAID songs that don't have film clips including FREEZER ofcourse. Check them out.

wow the dual vocals in this song is super interesting. They're literally passing back and forth mid sentence. It's something that wouldnt sound the same no matter how many others cover it, because it's not those two. You're 100% right about the music too. If it was crazier, i think the song would sound too busy with the vocals going on.

What you need to do is listen to the opening riff of that song about five times in a row. Then listen to the opening riff of Cowboys From Hell. You'll definitely hear similarity.

TOLD YOU LOL

I think, at one time at least, she used a drop tune effect box.

The beginning riff reminds of their song Dont Let me Down

Well, I also sit by the freezer sometimes ;P hehe

Damnit boy, you can play. Nice

and the icon of Mike is totally her. awesome

Nice,

Insert sad trombone sound here. :)

You ever heard somebody do five finger picking on guitar play it just like you do a banjo

I bore people by saying there is good music, great music and then there is Band Maid. They really don't have anything but great songs. Some may be liked more but every song is worth listening to on repeat

love this song. curious, why did you choose to use not to use the album cover from "new beginning" the album this song is from? have you not heard one of the live versions of this already? IDK why, but I thought you had reacted to a live version before, but did not see it when I searched through your vids. Also, if you have not checked out "the warning" yet, their new EP (MAYDA) is amazing, all 6 songs. worth a listen if you have not, Evolve, Disciple, Animosity and Z stand out for me. Band-Maid still my #1 active band, with RUSH #1 all time, but I listen to a LOT more than just that, BRIDEAR also getting a lot of play time lately for me.

Ryan, I think I'll be wearing a maid outfit like DragonForce's Herman Lee in the near future. I'm worried. Please be careful not to be found by your wife.

oh lord..

mikus paartamazing

new single on the 27th 😮

Watched this again and l must let you know Kanami is the producer. They do not take their music to anyone else. That is why they are with Pony Canyon. That and it gets their music front and center to anime fans. Also because l am blind l just noticed the Tesla t-shirt. Tesla is Sacramento's hometown heroes. And Papa Roach is just down the road in Vacaville, California. We like rock in Sack o'tomatoes and we love Band-Maid. Regards. Sacramento is known as Cow Town and Vacaville is Spanish for cowtown but is really named for town founder Sr. Vaca. Regards.

That's cool do Europa Santana

There's a fan-cam version of this from a couple years ago. You can't always see what they're doing, and of course the picture quality isn't great, but maybe it'll give you an idea of how it's done. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etJjf9qYq8vbcXk.html

Saiki's voice is very sultry in this, almost like she has a cold. (i.e. Freezer)

While nothing like it musically this song is subject wise like that old pop song Harden my Heart. Here a lady wronged is going to sleep from now on by the freezer in her house in order to become just as cold hearted as the idiot who screwed her around. As an aside l still cannot fathom the small but vocal sub group of "fans" who continue to say who cares about the lyrics. I just bop along to the cool music. Not only is that wrong it completely denies who the band is and what Miku is saying in her lyrics. Talk about disrespect. And here is the thing. All these "music lovers" certainly have things in life they love and care about. And if any band who made the best music in the world were to sing about, in an extremely derogatory fashion, those things they hold dear l seriously doubt they would support or listen to that band. Pretend a person thinks Jimmy Page is a super guitarist (he is) and pretend that person goes to a show he stars in and Jimmy begins singing about how our music lover's sister is a hooker and how his father molests. Can anyone really say they would sit and listen and applaud that? So, if this is true, how can anyone say l don't care or need to know the words to a song? Probably those who think Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift are great acts. If you don't understand Miku's words you will NEVER understand Band-Maid. And l understand that is hardly a priority for the majority. Doesn't make it right though, does it? Regards. Keep up the good work. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
