This is it! Yea it was me! Who requested damn this is my favourite ❤️

Why Why Why, because they are the best damn rock band on the planet. That's why.

Their bonus tracks on the limited edition album "Youth" and their instrumental "Without Holding Back" are amazing as well.

Why why why why though? 🤣 but seriously check out H-G-K and Black Hole, the most technical and hardest hitting tracks of the album.

This album is honestly amazing. They are at a level most bands only dream of with song writing and execution. In my opinion anyway

Niceeee... 🤗🤗🤗

☝️Band-Maid are the holy grail of Rock and Roll. The modern day Beatles. They are the whole package of greatness🙏

Daamn I want them to do a video of this song!

You might appreciate to know Jimmy Page went to see the girls in 2016 in Tokyo. After the show he asked to have a picture with the drummer Akane, as he thought she might be the re-incarnation of Jon Bonham. He thought Akane was one of the best live drummers he's ever seen, and this was 4 years ago.

Another great one by the maids!

Also did notice that there was a "Slash" taste in the sound. How tasty and sweet it sounds....I grew up with it, when it's preset I know...

shogo youshida credited as the drum tech for the album, and apparently all their albums since 2016 played drums jor a JPN band from mid 90s to early 2010s at least. Akane the drummer has also mentioned that they really liked one of Shogo's band's albums and it was one of her inspirations. So it looks like she hired one of her drumming inspirations as her drum tech.

Punk Dad keeping it real! :) We had music classes when I was a kid in the UK in Grammar school years ago. I don't know of they still do? It was not to teach an instrument (though it was encouraged) but introduced us to Classical mostly, the composers, explaining the compositions and the meanings etc of the different prices and composers influences. We did do other forms too, some Jazz, a little rock etc, but mostly for specific lessons. IDK what the Japanese version is like.

Nice job PRD! I understand people wanting to hear the new material, it is awesome, but I am still pushing for my favorite "Secret my lips" and since you are willing to do audio only you should check out their masterpiece "Puzzle" sadly the video was taken down. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Kanami used the neck mic on the solo. It has a "warmer" sound and not as aggressive as the mics further back.

Finally a reactor that dont limit him(her)self to MV ... Thank you for that ! Especially the last album is crazy GOLD

Intros, We don't need no stinking intros ! lol

only more one wonderful song, cya

Pretty sure I saw someone else mention it, but black hole is a face melter.

More Juice soon? One of hos tough songs is Over and Over, also you should do DARE - Man of the Year by him

the start sounds like senbonzakura by vocaloid lol. maybe it's a wink to them?

The album is fantastic. You really need to check out *No god* It's on the album...so good!! 🤘🤘🤘

If you want some technical explanations, a youtuber made a complete video on the material used by Kanami to obtain the exact sound she wants (you can see her pedals on the thumbnail): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6iYmZCBuqunpJ8.html

Maybe check out a band called skating polly exene from the band x has taken them under her wings try the mv for camelot

Pls react to Band Maid-No god on Spotify (new album unseen world)

It's aight. Betrer than the last song

Subbed because you said you didn't (or did? hard to hear exactly) like Slipknot back in the day but you'd give 'em another try. I didn't like 'em either! In fact as an early alt-rock guy I was kinda snotty about it. I've matured a bit since then, and I should give Slipknot another shot too. I largely discovered Band-Maid thanks to metal fans, after all, even though I'm not one (although now I'm interested....) Hear, Hear! for continuing open-mindedness. OH, the drum tuning: Akane said (Instagram or something) that she took ONE rubber foot off a leg on her floor tom to reduce the resonance/boominess of it a bit. Not all of them, just one. Even if she read or heard about another drummer doing it, still pretty amazing attention to detail. I think it's mostly her own doing, with lots of consultation with professionals she respects and the other band members. I would not be surprised if Saiki had something to say about the drum sound. And about the Japanese music requirement, I think (maybe somebody from Japan can correct me if needed), it's actually that every HS student has to participate in an after-school club. A lot of those are music clubs, which IIRC is how Akane, Misa, and Kanami really got started (the first two on different instruments than what they are amazing at now). And the guys mostly join sports clubs, while the girls lean towards music, accounting for the proliferation of amazing female Japanese bands. (The premier high school marching band in Japan is like 95% female, but AFAIK the student body is basically 50/50. [Random point in a performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdt8mdWHm5mbaXk.html ) (And before any Drum Corps International people start in, YEAH I know but it's just one local HS band and do you really want to compete against the Japanese going all in on DCI?)

Couldn't really get into it. Absolutely amazing musicianship, just not to my liking. I do however like the song Why Why Why by the exquisitely trashy Nashville Pussy. I think you might dig it.🤘
