Hey Ryan, great reaction my man! I like that you find something positive to say even if you’re iffy on whether you like it or not. I appreciate your insight. Let me be straight with you for a minute. I was right there with you. I didn’t quite “get” the appeal of the high-adrenaline, never-stop pace of the music. It is an intense cacophony of sound that mimics organized chaos. I was/am a hard rock fan/musician myself. The first time hearing these girls impressed me but I felt like something was missing. However, for some reason I just couldn’t put them down. I kept coming back. And now, I own merch upon merch and even have signed memorabilia from these ladies. I don’t want to play this type of music, but I just can’t get enough of their material for my ear-holes. They are the most positive metalheads I’ve witnessed. Tell you what, give their other songs a try and be open to their diversity since I know you love it when a band can successfully employ that type of skill. For example: Edge of the World from the same show is a progressive ballad that starts very slow with piano and ends on an anthemic note. Swan Song w/ Piano Etude, a thrashy-based ballad with a beautiful message. Strongly showcases The dark-haired guitarist’s (Miyako) abilities on both guitar and piano. She is also a classically trained concert-level pianist. For something literally right from your roots, check out Dancing with the Devil from the same show. Very hard rock /early metal feel. Wonderfully showcases the singer’s (Asami) R&B roots plus a more groove guitar track. For something more fun, check out Raise Some Hell. It’s a self-hype song that is just fun energy. Break the Wall has a Metallica-esque feel. And if you want to comeback to “boring” dual harmony leads on guitar, watch We the United. The girls never stop. It’s their last song of the show and just appreciate how happy everyone is. They love what they do and it is infectious. I could honestly name a reason for you to check out each song, but I don’t know any this novel to deter you from some good listening. Trust all of us when we say you will find yourself bitten by the Wolfpack before long. Just have fun with it.

Their song "Edge of the World" Live 2020! Needs to happen. 😀

LOVEBITES - Holy War lyrics: Look at those black clouds, it’s going to rain blood People live in fear, covered in mud Singing oh Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters There is a thousand, a thousand of evils Hush, do not wake up Satan’s devils Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and all for one forevermore Kingdom of Heaven, never shall we fall Reincarnation, wait for your call Singing oh, Gloria to change the prophecy We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for sisters Morning star and dying moon Into the Gates of Hell we march Mighty soul, let there be hope Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun Stand up in the name of the God of heavy metal What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war Singing Hallelujah to save our majesty We are the metal warriors Fighting the darkness for brothers Shining blade and burning heart Into the Gates of Hell we march Immortal soul, let there be light Into the Eye of Heaven Eagles at a holy war Fly higher than the sun We are one for all and for one forevermore What do we live for？What do we fight for, tonight？ But the world is beautiful, worth fighting for Only have one thing on our mind Facing the fate, holy war ----- lyrics: LOVEBITES music: Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)

this song started me down the lovebites rabbit hole a long while back. its a hell of a fun ride, power metal, thrash, power ballads. ugh a- freakin-mazing

Those guitar & bass stances are on point & the drummer crushing it & not to mention there all in heels wearing all white as usual. OMG the singer, enough said. Yes folks LOVE DOES BITE, BUT IN A GOOD WAY....... THANKS JAPAN!!!!!!!

I'm so in love with them Ladies. I wake up every morning with a Lovebites song in my head. And I just love it! 🤘🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺❣

HOLY WAR - HOLY HARUNA !!!

The singer, Asami, did ballet when she was younger and it shows. She's equally badass, like the rest of the band, and elegance personified.

Haruna in this video reminds me about the joke about a duck. Calm and unruffled above the water but paddling like hell below.

Every one of LOVEBITES 45+ songs is different from the others, but nearly all have individual guitar solos followed by a guitar-harmony duet, those few have individual solos but no duet, while one, "We The United" has all guitar parts played in unison/harmony to put Unity on vivid display, and on "Signs of Deliverance" they play unison/harmony overhand tapping. For an uplifting, encouraging theme, "Rising" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8Wapcur38nZgok.html Same show, with lyric-subtitles embedded.

Always appreciate an honest reactor. 👍

...too much? NEVER. There is never enough Lovebites...♥️😈♥️😈

With Lovebites, having 2 lead guitarist in a band… you’re gonna get the long solo’s and harmony dual from them. It’s how J-metal do in today’s music scene. It may be boring or too long… but you gotta appreciate the talent level and the synchronization from both of these Amazing guitarists when playing together in a song. It’s the Lovebites way and you don’t see that often in other metal bands outside of Japan/Europe.

LOVEBITES is #1. The fact that they are beautiful princesses is just the icing on the cake! Wolfpack is here! \m/

That was exhausting! Loved the first solo!

What do I see when I hear the notes of the guitars...... A rainbow being cut up by butcherknives. And the drummer is hammering meat on a butherboard with nunchacks "a la Bruce Lee". Accompanied by a Disneyprincess! Much Love

Old-School is f**kin' Great⤴☺ Listening to LOVEBITES, Modern loud rock sounds like too old school😜

Thanks for the honest reaction. They are always consistent with power and thrash metal. They are also Never make a song with a mix of pop or animish style. But they still have slower songs such as: Dancing With The Devil, Empty Daydream, Burden Of Time.

Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], LYNCH [Devil], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], JUPITER [My Enemy], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Dissension], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], DEXCORE [Self Hatred], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], and many many more...

The solo section for this song is a minute and 10 seconds so I can see how that could run on for too long for some people. Personally I love that in almost each song Midori and Miyako get around a minute to go wild.

yesss sir.. its always make someone happy when seeing their stage performance at the first time😊😊😊.. your smile.. its how to explain whats going on ☺️☺️

lovebites, time start ！👍 ラブバイツ タイムの始まり！ ですね！ありがとう❗👍

Yeehaw. Thank you sir!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍 there fright train never stops!!

This is METAL. 🤘😛🤘 Wolfpack is here.

Midori has the same excellent speed that Michael Schenker had! Miyako has Gary Moore

black-haired guitarist Miyako was using brown dean guitar at this time, but recently dean guitar produced her signature guitar (red + black). cheaper version of this guitar has recently sold for $ 1,850, and her photo can be found on the dean guitar homepage. the guitar she is using at this time is also guitar given by dean guitar Japan.

Hi from Tokyo! Welcome to the gems of Japan! Asterism, a three piece instrumental band. Rising Moon MV (not battle session). Watch these kids (at the time) please. Look forward to watching your journey. PS: thank you for Clutch recommend. Awesome music!

Btw Miyako the dark haired guitarist also play piano on the slower songs/ballads. Check these : - Empty Daydream - Edge Of The World - Epilogue Great reaction video..

I will continue to recommend Edge Of The World to you. It starts of slow and builds beautifully and has a very good solo from Miyako in it. If you react to Swan Song, use a link that includes the piano Etude before the song. While the other ladies can play piano also, Miyako is on another level. Piano is her first and best instrument.

That was another great reaction, Ryan, fun and informative. If you like the tone on Miyako's Dean, check out their song "Raise Some Hell." Miyako drags her Les Paul out of hiding and it has the sweetest tone that I have heard in a long time.

Thanks for an honest reaction. I really appreciate Lovebites, even though it is not quite my taste. It has elements which I really like (like the solos you mentioned), so I think I will still check out more.

Miho Miho Miho!

Haruna the 4'9 nuclear powered drumming machine.

Most of us are your age and fans of metal music from the eighties. Many members of the Wolfpack are musicians themselves and believe me : We are not such hardcore fans of Lovebites because the ladies have sweet faces and beautiful legs. These are the best live musicians I've seen in the last 20 years ... Next, take a thrash metal song by Lovebites please : Break the Wall - Zepp Diver City live 2020 The Hammer Of Wrath - Zepp Diver City live 2020 Thunder Vengeance - Zepp Diver City live 2020

nice reaction😊 please next LOVE BITES - SWAN SONG(live)

I was never much of a metal fan and I think a lot of it had to do with the darker themes. And to be honest I don't think I would want to listen to a straight hour of Lovebites BUT, these women are phenomenal and I love this song. First of all they are dressed like they are going to the prom and are not afraid of being feminine women which is certainly a contrast to other women in this genre. I love watching Asami prance around on the stage like a princess. Their lyrics are certainly more uplifting than is typically heard in this genre but most of all their talent is off the charts. As for music, are not good as women, they are phenomenal as musicians.

If only this video performance had a lyrics caption.. You will enjoy more of it by those uplifting lyrics.. We're here to enjoy their performance.. I don't think I would give any critic for this performance.. Anyway, thank you for reacting to this masterpiece.. Hope you have a great day!🤘🏻

Another one was lovebitten 😜 But seriously,this band's music is honey for the ears.

🤟🏻🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥🤘🏻

nice reaction♪😃👍 next we the United 2020 Live please

I'm kinda shocked and disturbed to hear the word "boring" associated with this dual solo. "Thrilled" and "overwhelmed" are words that occur to me. I've listened to it so often, I sometimes dream it.

Great reaction....please react CHOPIN ETUDE+SWAN SONG LIVE...MIYAKO play piano and guitar the talent is crazy

I really like the riffs in this song and the speed. However, now that I have listened to it, oh probably at least 100 times, I can see how a few reactors think the solo parts and/or the verses are maybe a wee bit too long. The first two verses are really long, and the base pattern doesn't change much overall so it can sound a bit repetitive. It is still an awesome song and one of their best. I have it in their top 20 songs, but when you compare it to all their others you can see how much of it is repetitive and is probably why he started to think it was "boring". But Lovebites has so much variety in their repertoire that all their songs are different.

Excelente!! Super Models dressing like bride play super power metal R. J.Dio...from Japon...take my money!!!

Steve vai🤟🤟🤟🤟

Check out Heavy Metal Never Dies Trailer if you haven't already. Definitely worth a reaction in and of itself!! :)

The effect you are talking about is synesthesia, a crossing of senses, which can include "seeing" sounds. I occasionally get that too - without drugs! I also love Miyako's tone, and it also gets me in the gut. So, yes, this can be too relentless for some people. For a lot of Lovebites fans, I think part of the thrill is the same thing that makes us enjoy Olympic sports or action movies: It's adrenaline, and the problem is that after you get used to it, it's hard to come down.

I’ve heard this one a bunch and I’ve never noticed until now how the drummer changes things up for each solo section. If you get around to Gacharic Spin you can get another all female Japanese group, but one that’s not really metal. Plus you’re a bass player, so you should probably get to them :).

Nice to finally see someone acknowledge how great they are based solely on their talent and not just because they’re women.

Definitely a Iron Maiden influenced band.

What are they putting in the water in Japan? Yesterday I discovered Band-Maid which led me to Lovebites. This is how you do it.

Lovebites Winds of Transylvania is more then likely there hardest song. But if you want more all female Japanese bands try Aldious, Doll$Boxx, Mary's Blood, Trident .

Swan song I recommend🎹🦢

Ryan- there's a solo coming up Me laughing- you mean 3, right?

As one gentleman said in a reaction. " Does this band ever lose at the Battle of the Bands?" I dont think so honestly..

did u react to Tina S yet if u like guitarsolo's just saying

Yeah, I can respect Lovebite's technical abilities. Especially the 2 lead guitars. But yeah, they are very iron Maiden-y , and I've never really liked Iron Maiden. Great guitars, Great, drums, Great bass, Great vocals...... But they just don't do it for me. A guy in the band-maid fan club said it really well a while back.: "Comparing Band-maid to Lovebites is like comparing Rush to Maiden back in the day." Lovebites are more technically gifted, and a lot of musicians might like that.... But for me, Band maid are no slouch either, and I much prefer their songwriting skills and vocal arrangements. I like the maids, but I won't start a war with a lovebites fan, caus in the end, we're both right :)

At least you don't have to worry about the lyrics as can't understand any of them. Might as well sing in Japanese like Band Maid. Can't believe a musician can't appreciate Iron Maiden. By the way the dark haired lead is a classically trained pianist. Watch Swan Song.

I saw them in Japan some years ago, they are super skilled but in the end a little boring for two hours concert. The singer, in my opinion, is a little bit too baroque. Haruna in concert is really a nuclear-powered drummer. But everyone has their own tastes.

Lovebites doesn't get great until their live stuff. They have a whole lot of "Jesus Christ" in your future with them if you continue

no stop during a guitar solo it's a sin !

Hi. Ryan. Your video sound is really good, but it's upside down. Check it out.

its powermetal... not to much...

Wow, really you think the solo or the harmony solo's are boring, if this is true then Lovebites just isn't for you because all of their songs consist of a lot of solos and unison and harmony solos. Maybe you should just stick to the other boring band you like so much more and that is band maid just a mere suggestion, plus you make it so obvious. As you wrote you never heard any songs by Iron Maiden, they too are very similar on the solos same for Judas Priest

The sound is weird, the right is in the left and the left is in the right. 😖

Boring? Adios man.

I would rather just listen to them shred. The vocals don't do it for me.

Harmony Solo boring? To each their own, but dunno how that can bore one but Vai doesn't.

Meh

Of course you can not understand her singing, cause she trying to sing in English with a accent. Try singing in Japanese with your accent!

Boring ????????

Just watched a year after you put it out. About seeing music and not being able to describe. Have you heard good vocal coaches talk about music and especially singers. They describe it same way as Ryan does. Look at any of Julia's or Elizabeth the Charismatic Voice. Its all Colors and Shapes for vocal tones.
