Once you've listened to more Babymetal and the spectacle has subsided, go back and listen to Headbanger again. That song fucking rocks.

5 hours ago, they performed this song at the seventh concert in 2021.

Dragonforce worked with Babymetal on this song and Tolman and Li played the guitars on it for the CD. This was their final song in this concert.

On a recent twitch stream, Herman Li of Dragonforce responded to questions about what it was like working with Babymetal on "Road of Resistance". He said "We wrote the guitar parts and played it on the album. Thats it." More Babymetal Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

I told you. Giving up after one song would be your loss. I always say after 3 songs, BABYMETAL will win most over. If I remember correctly, this was my 3rd song when first discovering my now favorite band. Once they stopped playing the music and the crowd fully joined in..... I was a goner. BABYMETAL LIVE is LIFE. And yes that is how they ended the show. It was the last song of the 3 song encore.

Yes, you, like many others, guessed it right that it sounds like Dragonforce. They wrote the piece. But at a faster pace because they knew they weren't going to be playing it on a regular basis. But the backing band (the Kami Band) nailed it and then some. The girls puts in this much energy in each song, hence the concerts are usually only about an hour or a little longer. At this performance in 2015, the lead singer (Su-metal) was about 17, the two other girls (Moametal and Yuimetal) were about 15. They've been performing together since 2011. The two girls were best friends even before they were in the group. I hope you continue your journey. We, as The One, love to see reactions to Babymetal. You'll like this song even more after you read the lyrics and some of the background info about the song. It's about overcoming adversity, and this particular performance of the song was special for the girls because for years they had to deal with harsh criticism about how they're a corporate band, it's not metal, and cute and metal don't mix. Su-metal said a few months ago that this song "embodies our spirit to never fail in the face of any adversity." Give Me Chocolate is always the first song to react to. They were young when that song came out and attributes to their age (They were 13 and 11 when the song first came out.) Next song to react to: Megitsune, Karate. If you like Su-metal's voice, No Rain No Rainbow. Enjoy.

Nice reaction, this is BABYMETAL's anthem and usually the show closer. You are obviously enjoying this one more because you are past the initial shock, you know what to expect, so you can focus on what's actually going on instead of fighting it and trying to make it fit into whatever preconception you had. Same happened to basically all of us who come from a metal background.

Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 This was filmed in January 2015, but this song was premiered at the Brixton, London on Nov.8, 2014. The UK audiences quickly adjusted and started to chant to Su-Metal's direction notwithstanding that no one in the world had listened to this song before. Japanese fans appreciated the mates in UK but felt a little bit jealous of them because the premiere was not done in their homeland. The girls call UK "second home". (Last year, they performed 4 times in UK as opposed to only 2 in Japan.) In your video, Su shouted some words at 09:27 meaning "Bring them on!". Fans analyzed that the shout was thrown at people who had been ignoring, underrating, mocking, hating and even trying to discredit BABYMETAL.

** Once you go BABYMETAL, you will never go back ! If you loved this one, try this one. This was not supposed to happen! They were slated for a smaller stage. Last min the promoters changed them to MAIL stage, knowingly, it was a gamble, as they could have gotten BOOED off the stage or worse, BOTTLED off... Yikes!! The gamble paid off, they rocked it and blew away most of all the acts that day *babymetal live at sonisphere 2014 uk (official)*

- Pausing isn’t really gonna help you from getting blocked, usually putting a watermark over the video does the trick, there is an entire KZfaq channel dedicated to providing watermarked BABYMETAL videos (with un-watermarked versions in the description), so all those are safe to react to, the channel is “Babymetal Reactor Resource”. - There are plenty of “safe” videos to react to on outside of that channel as well, but using that channel will get you some good stuff that isn’t on KZfaq. Generally anything from their 2014 Budokan shows and back are safe to react to, but every now and then one will get blocked, but not often. This video is from 2015, hence why people warned you. - As others have said, the lads from Dragonforce wrote the guitar part for this song. That’s why it sounds familiar! Lol - If you like these super high energy, well produced live shows, then BABYMETAL is the band for you! - Su-Metal, the lead vocalist (who was 17 years old in this video), is essentially a child prodigy when it comes to singing. She’s been performing in some way since she was as young as six years old and she said all she ever wanted to do was be a singer, and luckily for her she is very, very good at it. - Su-Metal sounds much better live, I don’t really care to listen to their studio recordings because BABYMETAL is meant to be experienced live. It just sounds much better than the studio versions. - The musicians are called “Kami Band”, and if you wanna hear them rip off some nasty solos, check out “Rondo of Nightmare”, the first video that pops up should be about 7 minutes, that is the one with the Kami Band intro, check out that one. - Yes, this song closed the show. Anytime you hear the “WE ARE” call and response with the audience, that is the end of the show (unless they do encore songs, sometimes they’ll do the “WE ARE” thing before the encore).

This is an absolutely classic! Our girls are simply perfects!! The crow control is insane. You need watch now Rondo of Nightmare (Sumetal solo) whit the Kami Band intro. Or Megitsune live! See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥

Good reaction. You already have some recommendations for more ... and when you have reacted to another two or three go back and watch 'Headbanger' again and you will realise just how good that whole song and performance really are when it isn't a first listen and you're not just being confused.

Good reaction, thanks! As you already know... it better sound like Dragonforce LOL This was the ending of a 95 minutes concert, fully performed with this level of energy, and it's impressive. We often use the word "epic" to refer to this :) See you next time!

For mosh pits check out Ijime Dema Zettia live at sonsisphere has a thrash sound and it's their first show outside of Asia, For SU's voice No rain no rainbow or Akatsuki unfinished at legend 1997 is just her solo backed by strings and piano,Akatsuki finished at Budokan Black night is backed by the Kami band same song different feeling. Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro has two guitar, a bass and a drum solo Karate if you like Djent and Doki Doki Morning if you want to see the song that started it all SU was 12 and YUI and MOA were 11 when they recorded the song and 13 and 12 when they recorded the video

That's the end song from that concert, and they always saying "We are? BABYMETAL"

Feel free to give me song requests of any band!! Also ask me some questions if you want too as I'm wanting to do a Q&A video as well!! Thank you for all the support!!

They actually performed the song with 2 guitarists fro D Force at an awards night.

Need to check out BabyMetals hardest, most fun song, everyone plays the same 8 or 9 songs "Catch Me If You Can" live at "Black Night Legend Doomsday show Thats best live version on youtube, Best Kami Band Solos Intro! Best Dance! Best Evil Riffs! Best BabyMetal Song! My humble opinion, you will thank me

I don’t remember if someone said in the past reaction, but I’d better remind it again. Babymetal was ranked 10th in the Top 50 Metal Bands of All Time by Metal Hammer magazine (in 2019). Of course, real Babymetal fans always see them in the first place. Okay, on the second, after Metallica. ))

Yaaaaas loved this!!! Loving your reactions LG 💖

Babymetal: How deep did you fell into the fox hole? LGS: Yes

Babymetal definitely put on a show and give you "value for money", I could see you realizing that in the second half of the performance. That's were the "OMG" factor ramps up and I think a lot of folks get the chills. This performance is the one that turned me into a fan or a "kitsune" which is Japanese for fox. The song has a strong Dragonforce vibe because Li and Totman worked on it and play it on the album, but I like this live Kami Band version more. The concert has a great stage set up and the famous Yui leap over Moa during IDZ as well as this definitive performance. "Road of Resistance" is about fighting and resisting even if you can't see the way ahead; that's a common theme for Babymetal songs. At the end of the crowd "wows" I love the combination of the insanely fast guitar riff and the dance sequence that ends with the girls standing strongly and outlined by the lights, that's where I really get the chills, but you skipped over that bit, probably for copyright issues. It shows how well music, singing, dancing and stage and lighting design can come together. From just these two songs I think you can see that Babymetal have a lot of range. One fun thing is to compare their first ever recording, "Doki Doki Morning", which is almost a metal nursery rhyme with their most technical and progressive song "Tales of The Destinies". Strap in tightly to avoid whiplash. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc-im7RpzrLIkqs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i79giLOosMq8dp8.html

You gotta do "Ijime, dame, zettai" live at Sonisphere! Back in 2014, when they officially began conquering the world! Right there in the UK 🦊🤘🖤

I remember someone saying "It not for me" But all you guys come your senses.

The 1st video people see is denial 2nd video is acceptance then you are down the rabbit hole before you know it. Go rewatch headbanger again now you get it and babymetal death from the same 1997 concert

The one dislike was the frown on your face the whole time XD

Nice reaction, glad you enjoyed it. You can try using videos from the channel "Babymetal Reactor Resource" (I'll try to link it in a reply but YT is being annoying about links) - they have watermarked videos from a lot, although not all, of Babymetal's songs. They include a link to the clean copy in the description for you to watch during your reaction and then add the watermarked copy for your upload. One song you can try is "Rondo of Nightmare" - not available on the channel I previously mentioned. Use the version labeled as (with mischiefs of god intro).

in 2010 they performed with the song Doki Doki mornig in front of 150 people ........ in 2015 in this concert they performed in front of 22,000 people

You're spot on, mate, this performance always give me chills everytime I watch it - knowing where they came from, what they endured, the song really fits (goes the same for the fans, I'm sure), as you said, would have loved to be there. A word of caution, though, this is a deep, deep Foxhole/rabbithole - but definitely a very enjoyable journey, the more you know them, the more you'll grow to love them. You've been warned :p

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) - Pretty much a master class in audience control. : ) BABYMETAL believe that if a song sounds too much like one genre, then it's not a BABYMETAL song. You can definitely feel the speed metal in this one though. And folks have pointed out that Sam Totman and Herman Li from DragonForce contributed guitar tracks for the studio version of this song. This performance was at Saitama Super Arena (SSA) in January of 2015, with a sold out crowd of over 20,000. BABYMETAL's lead singer, Suzuka Nakamoto first appeared at SSA in 2008 as a member of the J-Pop trio Karen Girl's, when she was 10 years old. She's been back many times since, headlining with BABYMETAL. Guitarists that night were Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda Cygnus. The bassist was BOH, and the drummer was Hideki Aoyama. Hideki's father and brother were also drummers, so it's kind of in his blood. The other current Kami Band drummer, Anthony Barone, is phenomenal as well. He used to play with Shadow of Intent.

keep up the reactions man 🤙🏽

well... sure is sounds like DragonForce... that's because Herman Li wrote that song... he's worked with them several times and is quite a huge fan... so follow him into the arms of the Fox God...

Can go many ways from here. Rondo of nightmare with the mischiefs of the Gods into or maybe some black Babymetal with Sis Anger

Glad you went immediately to RoR. If that doesn't convert you, nothing will lol :-) Now, if you want to blow your mind in prog-metal direction, find the audio (or the one live performance that exists) of Tales of the Destinies. If you want to see how Su's voice has matured and gotten even more interesting, I like Starlight. Other favorites are Meta Taro, Yava, & Kagerou (to me it's the rare Babymetal song where Su borders on having a little sex appeal in her voice)..

Looked like you enjoyed that🦊🤘🏾⚡️👊🏽 Th fox hole is deep..Enjoy!

great reaction! you should really check out THE ONE by BABYMETAL! its their tribute to their fanbase and there you can be fully mesmerized by their vocal range

You have entered Stage 2... Now it's time to be introduced to Su-Metal's ability and that of the Kami Band. It is the intro of all intros and a perfect example Solo of Su-Metal's ability at just age 16, (she is 23 currently) It's time for Rondo of Nightmare.

For reasons that I'm sure you've already found out in other comments, I'd be quite worried if it _didn't_ sound like Dragonforce. :D You're certainly not alone there. For a lot of people who still had their doubts, this song (as well as this performance of it) has been the clincher. Even though we are THE ONE, and some favorites are practically universal, we're still not monolithic when it comes to that, and lists can vary wildly from fan to fan.

Dragonforce on the money, Herman lee and others from dragon force colabed with babymetal on this songs music

The musicians (Kami band) are very talented! Try Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of god intro) or you could dare to try Tales of the destinies?

Hello. Good reaction. There is a warning you should give yourself about BabyMetal ... The first time surprises The second catches The third drags you into the hole with us. You are warned

You REALLY need to react to Rondo of Nightmare with mischief of gods intro if you like solos!

Try BabyMetal Death complete legend 1997 concert for a stage show or Meta Taro Tokyo dome for crowd interaction 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

time for something completely different: babymetal's most recent official music video for their song _bxmxc_

I love how even listeners that haven‘t quite warmed up to them yet are often very quick to mention how much they‘d like to be at their show. They must be doing something right. :-) No matter what one might think of BABYMETAL or this song, as a performance there‘s really not much to criticize about this. I always feel a little ambivalent about „luring“ metalheads with this song. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great and one of BABYMETAL‘s many facets, but in my opinion songs like Headbanger are more „typical“ than this (although that in itself is also a difficult word to use for them, as their catalogue is so diverse). The poppy, cute, lightweight and playful elements are what makes them so unique, and they wouldn‘t be BABYMETAL without them. And songs like RoR have much less of those elements than most of their songs. So I hope you learn to like those as well. I would like to know how you feel about the choreographed dancing. It‘s often one of the things that metalheads have a problem with. I also did, before I encountered BABYMETAL, I admit. But now I can‘t deny that it has an immense effect on the live energy and entertainment value. It still doesn‘t really work for me with boy bands and even most girl bands, but for some reason I love it with BABYMETAL (part of it is certainly that the choreographies seem much less superficial than what I know from other bands).

Ok you win my sub only for that wings of freedom (AOT) hoodie \m/ Shinwoo Sasageyo! And may the Fox God bless you \m/ PS: i told you ;)

...with 22,000 screaming BabyMetal fans at Saitama SuperArena.

BMC should be next.

Excellent. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult

Lmao was funny watching you get sucked right in. Im not a huge fan of BM, but i view it like a guilty pleasure, very enjoyable to mix it up

Pretty good performance for 3 High School students, Huh? At this point they had been performing for about 90 minutes, can you tell? Did you notice that all of Su's calls to her Japanese audience were in English? You still got Black Babymetal to react too! What you just witnessed was a very high level of talent, professionalism and most of all Charisma at a level that most entertainers can only dream of!! Last Question; Could you deal with daughter(s) with this level of talent?

🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

Love your reaction to this. BABYMetal is on of my fav groups. Please react to Rolling Quartz song called Blaze they are a New Korean Rock group. Think you might them.

Complete the Japanese metel triad and react to maximum the hormone and band maid and you'll reach peak engagement

Great reaction dude ! But.. IMO.. its not about the songs that make u doesn't feel Babymetal at first.. but its just about you getting used to the sound of them... Most of the people who listen to babymetal at the first time will have the same feeling.. but more you down deep to the fox hole.. the more you attached to them ! That the wonderful thing about babymetal.. react their songs more and you will become "the one" for sure... Welcome to the Fox Hole dude ! You gonna enjoy it !

If you like their solos, try Rondo Of Nightmare and Catch Me If You Can. The live versions have full solos by all the band members. In fact, try Kagerou - it's off their newest album and is very popular with Western metal fans - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fs1jhNaBrpncYYE.html

40000 fans in Tokyo dome 2 nights in a row, Insane, they are really something

You watched the video you saw the title at the end hey still called it Road “TO”Resistance instead of OF

BABYMETAL's MV's are really great and should be watched . But the live concert videos are truly Epic . And when your watching them and realize that this epic performance is just one song and that all the other songs in their concert are gonna be just as epic as the last . You begin to understand what puts BABYMETAL and the Kami Band in a class by them self's . A truly one of a kind mind blowing band .

just suggest, if you doing babymetal react it's better to react their live performance because we can get the feel much better :D btw nice reaction dude n love ur AOT jacket/hoodie, thank

Intro song?? Great reaction !!!

Herman Li of Dragonforce also just had two members of the Japanese rock (not metal) band Band-Maid on his stream. They're worth checking out if you want to see 5 Japanese girls in maid outfits playing hard rock music. Check their song "Warning!" for a start. 🤘

There's no explaining, their music is different tho it's Metal

Megitsune or Karate next. These are generally the only two songs where watching the official music video enhances the song, otherwise live is the way to go, they are first and foremost a live band. Welcome to the Fox Hole, you are teetering on the edge......

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Sounds like Dragonforce? yeah Herman Li wrote the solo

You’re already down into the foxhole mate! #notacult

Welcome to the fox hole.. Sam tootman and herman lee from dragon force help write this song..

Please do PLEASE please BABYMETAL give me chocolate

it sounds like dragonforce for a reason... (no they didnt steal it)

Bro, check out also LOVEBITES, all Japanese female Heavy Metal Band live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020 songs Raise Some Hell, Hammer Of The Wrath, Break The Wall, Holy War, latest MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania, No Time To Hesitate.. :)

No song is the same, you noticed that with each song they treat like major singles, put all their effort and effort into it, 10 years of work. I'll just give you a warning The ONES (Army of Babymetal) hate comparisons since the Kawai Metal style was invented by their producer Kobametal and we hate each other when they compare them with these bands , because it seems that all their work was done just to be imitated by these fake bands. 12 and 10 years working hard, with 2 hits in 2018 (leaving Yuimetal and Mikio Fujioka's death), it is horrible to compare them with these other bands, there is nothing, do not ever compare them. Hard work, pain, fear of not being accepted, sleepless days, efforts for each show to be done perfectly, swallowing good reviews, Babymetal has been through a lot and comparisons are unacceptable

PaPa Roach is not even on there level bro don't compare the two

So commercialized. I cannot call them True Metal Lover, SO SORRY. This is so POP-METAL, money- fame - choreograph act - lipsynch singing - no connection to the songs or music, just shows !!! Metalhead React ?? comeon, there are so many other 'Real Metal' bands from Japan you could rather react to - LOVEBITES, Bandmaids, Unlucky Morpheous to name a few. Real metal bands who are about the music not the shows or fame. Start with the 'Ultimate Queens of Metal - LOVEBITES !!!

🤘🦊🤘
