You should invite Chris again when you watch a live video. As a musician, I would say it's guaranteed that he will be blown away. Headbanger is a great song to watch live, and I think you'll understand why we love the live versions so much. Especially for a musician, "Road of Resistance" is a great watch, but it gets blocked a lot. Another great one to get a good look at the band is "Rondo of Nightmare" with the "Mischief of the Metal Gods" intro.

Great reaction(s) again. We told you all about 'Iine' (that is iine pronounced ee-neh) last time, so I won't repeat that. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but there is more to it than that. 15 is when compulsory education ends in japan, so she is also coming to terms with the fact life will change for her now. She will no longer be considered as a child and those first 15 years have passed by so quickly, so she is etching this special night into her heart so she will never forget. Su-metal was still only 14 when it was recorded (Yui and Moa were 12) so it is not biographical, but they could relate since they were already starting to play metal concerts. The neck brace is a tribute to classic Japanese metal band X Japan's drummer, pianist and main composer Yoshiki who damaged his neck so badly head banging that he needed surgery and had to wear a neck brace most of the time. The girls were so impressed with the guy who came in for the video to do the helicopter headbanging that they called him "Hedoban Kami" (god of headbanging). Live 'Headbanger' is so much better ... I was so happy they had it on the set list for the 2020 UK and Europe tour so I could experience it for myself.

If you guys want to see the band perform you can check 1. BabyMetal - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) 2. BabyMetal - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse Their live is very different from MV. Thanks for your great reaction.♥️🦊

I will split my comment - so this one is for 'PA PA YA'. As this was the official video it had the studio audio, but there is a video of this performance with the live audio (it is even better), so part of what you missed here was Su-metal calling out to welcome F Hero to the stage. This was filmed in Yokohama on the Saturday ... the video was produced and released within 2 days on the Monday after ... in the meantime BABYMETAL had flown to the UK overnight and were on stage at Glastonbury at Sunday lunchtime and playing in Brixton, London on the Tuesday before heading back to Japan. 'PA PA YA' is a summer festival song - about a spicy green papaya fruit salad. F Hero is a rapper from Thailand and was rapping in Thai to the same rhythm as mixing the ingredients for the salad with a mortar and pestle. They are pretty much saying that, much like the salad, mixing the right spices into life will make that better too. This was filmed on the second night at the start of their 2019 tour. F Hero flew in to Japan specially for the first two shows to perform with BABYMETAL in person. The instrument you heard in his second verse was a traditional Thai instrument that he suggested to be added. The third girl in this video was one of three dancers brought in to take turns filling the third spot in the choreo after Yui left the band in October 2018. This was Kano's very first show with BABYMETAL - she was still only 14 years old. If you see BABYMETAL live remember to take a towel (or buy one from the merch stand) to swing around your head for this song. Seeing everybody doing that makes Su and Moa happy ... and we all want them to be happy all the time. 🦊 The Kami Band are the instrumentalists for all live shows since early 2014. You will not see or hear them in any official videos (you will see them if it was recorded at a live show, you won't hear them) as they do not do the studio recordings. Originally they would wear white burial robes and corpse face paint. At the end of 2017 the robes were changed for black ones and in 2019 they started to wear the masks you saw - nobody likes the masks. Looking forward to whatever you watch next time.

The best Metal songs ever about a) tropical fruit, b) saying "That's Nice" in Japanese (iine, not Line) and c) the story of a girl attending her first Metal gig. Because it can't always just be about Satan.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 👍 / 🤘 / 🌶 🌞 'iine!' is the probably the ultimate, "Do you like music genres? We smooshed them all into this one song for you." Probably my favorite EDM Dance Rave HipHop Kawaii Metal song of all time. : ) It's too bad they haven't performed this song since they toured the Southern USA with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in April of 2017. 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' was one of the earliest hits. Even though the song is about a fifteen year old girl attending her first heavy concert, Su was only fourteen when the single and video were released. At that age she was on stage, rather than taking the train to see concerts like the girl in the song. : ) 'PA PA YA!!' is a Summer festival party song. Matsuri Da! (It's a festival!) I wasn't aware of him before this collaboration, but F.HERO is a well known rapper in Thailand. Somtam, or "papaya pok pok" is a spicy Thai papaya salad that's mentioned in F.HERO's rap section. Crushing the sweet and spicy together in the mortar to release their flavor is used as a metaphor for life. It's spicy and sweet, but you have to pound everything together in a mortar to bring out the flavor. BABYMETAL's producer Koba went to Thailand to record his vocal tracks for 'PA PA YA!!'. F.HERO suggested adding accents in Morlum, the Thai folk song genre, and Koba liked the idea. They got a Thai producer named Thitiwat Rongthong to help with the traditional instruments. - It's great to see you continuing with BABYMETAL songs. Maybe three live songs next time? : )

Please watch their live performances, it's considered one of the best concerts in the world.

This was a great reaction! You're so competent, thank you! You're journey into the Metal Galaxy has just begun 🤘🦊

Babymetal is a group under the Entertainment Company of "Amuse Entertainment, Inc.". Currently, Babymetal are on their own Lable of "Babymetal Records".....they were formerly under the "Toy Factory" Label of "BMD Fox Records" ('Babymetal Death' - Fox Records*?) and "Sony Music Babymetal" (world wide)....think I remember that correctly..LoL!! Its been a minute! Someone will correct me if I'm wrong..LoL! Thanks for the reaction and as always.... Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Babymetal started as a part of Sakura gakuin which is a idol group for the Amuse talent agency. It was a school for girls up to 15 years old and was limited to 12 members. They focused on acting, singing, song writing,... to prepare the girls for a career in the arts. Many of the graduates have become profesional actors, radio djs, etc... they would form sub units of 3 with varying themes like cooking club(where they'd sing about food), tennis club and metal club which later became babymetal. So the early songs were written by its founder Koba metal while now they hire a variety of top songwriters and producers. Which is why there's such a difference. They had a very small budget to start and now it's practically unlimited.

If you're going to react to Babymetal then you should react to the live videos of their music,it's where this band thrives and shines. FYI, they just announced they're going to release a new song a month until March when they release a new album. Also they're going to play two concerts in Japan at the end of January

Great reactions - and great enthusiasm. The first song is NOT called 'Line - it is called 'Iine' (i - i - n - e.) Their new album is due out in March 2023 (I have already heard a promo.) Oh, by the way, 'Metal Mondays' does not require an apostrophe.

Great reaction. Definitely switch to BABYMETAL live reactions, their performances are EPIC. BABYMETAL FOREVER All hail The Fox God

Sorry this is late, the video got blocked 🥲😭

That was a great and interesting reaction! I'm really looking forward to your next BM videos 🙂

They are going to release an new album in March. My daughter has seem them here in LA at the Forum. You'll would love there show!

Great reaction and glad you brought in a new "victim". Babymetal has been with the same production since their debut in 2010. Amuse is the company name. They are releasing their 4th album March 24, 2023 and most likely break records. I agree with the majority of responses saying their live is the best. And Su, the main singer does not lip-sync. They had ceased activity for a year due to COVID, since they thrive on live shows. Their "comeback live" is Jan. 28, 29, 2023 in Japan!

Original line up was Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Yui-Metal. Yui left the band due to health issues in 2018. New line up is Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Momo-Metal

not a kpop / jpop fan but the two of you HAVE to watch their Live performances.

Thank you for the video and reaction!! I really recommend 'Road of Resistance' and 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' for LIVE videos reaction 😊

Great reaction! You need to check out some of their live shows too like Rondo of Nightmare live in Budokan and Road of Resistance Live in Japan (Official) 🙂

YEY! NEW BABYMETAL REACTION! THANK YOU! YOU SAW 1ST ALBUM AND 3RD ALBUM. DON'T FORGET THE 2ND ALBUM 🥰 REACT TO THE LIVE CONCERT, PLEASE? 💖🦊 IT'S THE COMPLETE BABYMETAL EXPERIENCE. PS. 3RD ALBUM PEAKED AT NO.13 ON THE US BILLBOARD.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 You should check the live versions of the songs you just did, you will see a huge difference.

Love double shot reactions, triple shots even better BabyMetal only has a handful of music videos and you've done two already Maybe future reactions you do the music video and the live performance Songs like Ijime Dame Zettai, Karate, Distortion (Headbanger and Megitsune) would work this way Headbanger also has a dubstep remix The song Akatsuki has a live version and a unfinished version The song Gimme Chocolate can be done with the Kami band and without(They performed Gimme Chocolate on the Stephen Collbert show live with the Kami band) I hope you continue the triple or double shot reactions

The reason for the masks is, well, consistency. Their band is the Kami-band, basically the Gods of Metal who took over ordinary mortals (there's an interview with their drummer who was asked how long it took him to get into costume and he said "what costume? The Kami just takes me over and that's it"). Originally, the band members wore white robes and facepaint to symbolize this, but as they got bigger after their second album, they, well, expanded the band into an "east" and "west" band (the east being the original band and the west US musicians) and to keep with the whole Kami lore, all of the band members wear the same outfit so that it would be less obvious that there's different musicians.

Good reaction. Its nice to hear your opinion of production artistry of a music production. If you want to see scale of Babymetal you can watch compilation video of Headbanger posted by kurokiitsunesama. Thats compilation video of arena sized show of babymetal (year 2013-2020). Sound from 2017 show. Production is vastly better in the later year especially for old song. For fun and catchy song you can check Give me chocolate Catch me if you can Karate Da Da Dance Oh Majinai If you want more serious and technical you can check Amore Akatsuki Rondo of nightmare Syncopation Yava

you should review the later version of headbanger as they change their presentation and they're a few years older and it shows.

I'm so excited to see you watch their live performances.. cause if you think that this sounds great, you will be blown away by their live sound 😉 A few of my suggestions: For festival - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) For band's ability/talent - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) | LIVE at Budokan Black Night (HQ) For Su's solo - AKATSUKI「紅月アカツキ」BLACK NIGHT HD1080p Just for epicness (I guess) - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)

Almost all Babymetal songs are not what we expect. They kick ass and make everyone smile like silly. Yet the lyrics are profound or even cryptic AF. And their live performances are mindblowing theatric productions. They are just their own thing. Labels don't apply to Babymetal.

Thanks for the enjoyable video🤘🦊♪

Another great reaction video! As has been stated previously, live Babymetal is almost always better! I would also suggest that you check out the live version of "Headbanger" together...for comparison. Looking forward to teh next one!

While their MVs are fun to watch, they never quite live up to the ridiculously high standard that their live performances are set at for me. Highly recommend watching some of the live performances. I'm sure there will b many suggestions of which ones to do in the comments.

I guess Baby Metal would be something like JPop JMetal. Amazing band. Thanks for the react

It was fun to see the guy's reaction😄

They just released an announcement that a new album will be released in the spring.

you shud invite chris and watch live performance by babymetal

also, 'Line' is actually is "EE nay", what looks like a lower case L is actually an upper case i.

PA PA YA video was done in 2020 at Budokan.

👍👍 baby metal/ kagerou /arkadia /yava!/👍

they didnt show the band much here. . but if you do catch me if you can and rondo of nightmare both live, they really display the band big time

Which live BabyMetal songs should you react to? All of them. But top of the list would be Road Of Resistance live from Japan and Ijime, Dame, Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. The Sonisphere performance is legendary for BabyMetal and marks their emergence onto the international metal scene.

Watching a BabyMetal MV instead of LIVE is like having a red Ferrari but only driving it in first gear.

You will be blown away by the live versions of any of their songs. The videos don’t come close to how good they are live.

You guys definitely know how to take the fun out of entertainment. Shheeesshhh .

They are with a different record label. When iine (not Line) was recorded, Babymetal was still a sub-group of Sakura Gakuin, and the song was released to promote the Sakura Gakuin album. Later Babymetal would break off into their own act. Sakura Gakuin recorded under Universal Music Japan, Babymetal broke off in 2013 and recorded with Toy's Factory and Juonbu records, before founding their own label, BMC Fox Records

Great honest reaction. Love BabyMetal

Babymetal uses some backing tracks (like the growls), but they are not auto-tuned for the vocals in general. The girls are amazingly talented. Su-Metal is the lead vocalist, while Moa-Metal and formerly Yui-Metal were the backing vocalists and dancers (Yui left and now they have Momo-Metal).

Age plays a part here. For Pa Pa Ya the lead singer is now in her 20's. Yes, her vocal range is lovely.

Good reaction. Babymetal, without knowing its history, is very difficult to interpret. Babymetal was born as a subunit of a larger idol group called Sakura Gakuin. Sakura's structure represented the middle school of Japan, so the 15 girls that made up the group (aged between 10 and 15, middle school time) were distributed in school clubs and one of them, As a personal experiment of one of the producers, a lover of Heavy Metal, it was called the heavy music club. The power of SuMetal's voice seemed to him wasted for jpop and he wanted to experience the fusion of pop with metal. An experiment that no one had high hopes for, but got permission from the production company (Amuse). Su was 12 years old at the time, although she had been working since she was 8 and Moa and Yui (the backup dancers and singers) only 10 years. His first songs were songs aimed at a children's audience, especially girls, between 10 and 15 years old ("Iine", "Ijime Dame Zetai (a song against Bullying), "Catch me if you can" and "Doki Doki Morning" to give some examples. And it worked... so much so that it managed to cross the target audience and reached, to the surprise of many, even the Japanese metal audience. Babymetal was achieving not only success within Sakura, but also beginning to take on its own entity. This was fully developed when SuMetal turned 16 and had to leave Sakura. Babymetal's producer got permission from Amuse for Babymetal to become an independent band and go on their own. And in 2014, when they were already considered stars in Asia (they had played at several festivals and filled their concerts wherever they went, filling the Tokyo Dome (55,000 spectators) two nights in a row) they made the leap to the West in the Most "important" concert for Western fans, probably: the Sonisphere 2014 in England. At that festival, with the success on KZfaq with their "chocolate gimme" they caught the attention of the Sonisphere producers. At first they were going to debut on one of the secondary stages (for about 5,000 spectators), but as I have already mentioned, the overwhelming success of Gimme Chocolate, together with the fact that all the concerts scheduled in Europe had sold out in a short time, catapulted them to the main stage. Su commented in an interview that they were "terrified" to play on the main stage (behind them were either Iron Maiden or Metallica, I don't remember which one exactly) in front of more than 50,000 metalheads with a reputation for dispatching in very bad manners those bands that they didn't like them, and he couldn't help but wonder if his musical approach would be offensive to a much more orthodox Western audience. And on the other hand, they also feared the opposite... that they would go out on an empty stage... If you want to know how the story ends, I encourage you to watch "Ijime, Dame, Zetai" from sonisphere 2014, which I leave you below: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNVdksaTy8rWiXk.html Be that as it may, the current reality is that Babymetal is considered the most influential current Heavy Metal Group in Japan (eye, more influential, with this I am not saying that it is the best, far from it) and the Japanese metal group that has come the furthest in history outside of asia. As an anecdote about their fans (called "The One" collectively and "Kitsunes" individually) is that, apart from receiving the award for best fan group by Metal Hammer, we also entered our girls as the tenth most important group. of the history of rock in the survey of the same magazine... we are dangerous pranksters hahahahahahahahaha

The one with the masks are probably 'Kami Band of the West' those are all form the united states and the ones with the painting are Kami Band east. The Kami Band consists of 9 members, so it doesn't really matter who is playing, i guess, but rather who of the members has time at the moment.

Great reaction love the 3 reactions and your excitement and take on them . Can not wait to see next ones bring Chris 😁 🤘🦊🤘

You just started your Babymetal discovery, there is still a lot so I would definately recommend to stick with them! That being said, some other amazing and interesting japanese bands are: Lovebites, Hanabie, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Ladybaby, Unlucky Morpheus, Broken by the Scream, Passcode, Trident, Miscast, Greed Five Egg's, Aldious, Mary's Blood, Wagakki Band, Sokoninaru, Doll£Boxx, Kari Band, CHAI... (feel free to add more ;)

One thing I remember is how one of the Kami band members have said: iine is actually really hard to play live because it was never designed to be played by a human. 🙂

If iam not mistaken.. this was a live pro shot at the forum LA last 2019

it's not "Line" it's a uppercase i, which is a japanese word "iine" they'r basically singing the word in the song XD

In that show for Pa Pa ya the stage rolled forward and the band was to the rear on both sides

They just released 3 new singles Devine Attack-Shingeki which Su-Metal has writing credits on this time. Monochrome which has an interesting backstory. Involving Su-Metal growing up in Hiroshima. However, in the context of Monochrome here. It is directly about a dimension in ruins. They will have visited in their travels. Within the context of their concept album. They directly refer to Ragnarok here, which is the destruction of the world in Norse Mythology. _______________________________________________ Which within their lyrics & imagery invokes the destruction of the Atomic Bombs!! Ultimately, the message of roughly translated is to keep up your spirits when things go wrong in your life. Then the latest being Metal Kingdom which is the title track to their upcoming 4th concept album. Which was released just a few days ago. They also have done some pretty crazy collaborationss as well here. Arch Ememy Allisa White-Gluz with "Distortion" is insane!! Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer is pretty much a masterpiece!! It's also one of Moa's favorite bands as an interesting tidbit. 🤔 ____________________________________________ Then Road To Resistance was a collaboration with DragonForce & battle anthem basically. In closing, two of my favorite live performances were "The One" perfomed at the Tokyo Dome. Along with Rondo Of Nightmare Mischiefs Of Metal Gods at Budokan Live Intro. I believe it was their Black Night performance if my memory serves me correctly. Su-Metal was only 16 in that performance & already so good. The new album drops on March 24th. Tour with Sabaton & Lordi picks up in April. Anyways, great reaction here as always!! 🤘 🦊💕

Baby Metal performances Live are legendary. You have to see the stage presence and the crowd interaction!

I've seen several live shows and they do switch out guitars between songs. They also have backups that the stagehands need to run out and bring in case of emergency

I didn’t even know there was a music video for Headbanger. I’ve always seen the live version

iine is the title

F.HERO was in a collab with Changbin (Stray Kids), the song is called Mirror Mirror if you haven't heard it and want to check it out ^^

The live shows are next level

19:35 Not in hiatus. They create a full album and then tour. The only time they had to stop was during the Pandemic. Since 2010 they have made 4 full albums and 4 word tours, also with participation in other festivals across the globe. 22:14 The band was incorporated for their second full album. Previously of that they haven't a band. Everey resemblance of musicians are "air bands" that just pretend. 24:31 The old song are not real band, just faceless performers. After that when the band wears mask it means they aren't their "elite" main band, who don't travel abroad. This was probably recorded in their concert in Los Angeles.

Corey Taylor/Slipknot are big fans of BABYMETAL, as are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallic, Bring Me The Horizon, & many others. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #fusionmetal

You and Chris should react to "Road of Resistance Live in Japan". Their epic masterpiece of a live performance. When Metallica saw them live they said they were astonished by their awesomeness.

Iine was only their 2nd song ever, and that was before their first album was even in production. Not to mention, that was still back when they were still so small that they didn't even have a backing band yet.

Well you can find an other coop from F.Hero. He has a song with Changbin of Stray Kids an Milli. The Name of this song is MIRROR MIRROR.

The band is the Kami Band. there are a lot of videos with live performances and intros with the band performing. you will get to those.

more babymetal reacts please 🥺

Nice timing to find babymetal!! they are back and hold a new show next year!! Divine Attack will be used in Attack of taitan the final.

Holy crap y’all were there when the Mrs and I was there haha. Same trip. Universal and Disney. First potter world trip for my lovely wife and potter head

Great Reaction! I love his attitude about metal being catchy. I am also amazed at his ear for sound production. He is a professional. Please do a reaction to BABYMETAL's live video!

Always good to see people reacting to Babymetal for the first time. Also liked: - Nerdy producer man explains how valve amps work (poorly) - Host lady looks perplexed and say "Interesting" (first time of several utterances)

Iine is their 2nd song. They did not have musicians back then. Of course the instruments in the MV are electronic.

It's so so so funny hearing y'all talk about "oh wow, the audience can get involved in this one." JUST WAIT. Just wait, guys. You haven't even scratched the surface. Here's what you should do next (it needs to be these specific versions): 1. BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL) 2. BABYMETAL - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse 3. BABYMETAL DEATH | Legend 1997 (Complete) You might even want to wait to watch DEATH until you've seen more of their stuff. It is going to blow your mind.

DA DA DANCE is really awesome!!!

If you haven't heard their song "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro" then you just don't know yet

Biggest flex is that I saw them live in 2020

Old Skool piano is from Mozart era ir earlier.. called Harpsichord. In this case it's simulated but still sounds awesome. For some insanity driven reason i'm having flashbacks of Lurch the groaning butler, from the Addams Family tv series "playing" the Harpsichord! 😁

Try watching the clips live, Babymetal is known to be one of the most competent bands live, "iine" is one of the oldest songs from when Su was 13 and Moa and Yui had 11 years, they were really kids when they started and nowadays they are me is 24 years old and yui and moa are 23 years old, many things have changed from 2010 to today, they started with the fear of being made fun of and they rocked their first festival which was Sonisphere in 2014 they were scared to death since at the festival in front of 50 thousand people. After that came the second studio cd which was well received, also came a collaboration with Rob Halford in a presentation, they gained respect from legendary bands, soon came the death of one of guitarists and also the departure of one of the dancers who was also backing vocalist due to illness, soon after the third studio cd and soon after the sealing of them after 10 years of work, They announced on 10/10/2022 the dates of their comeback in 2023 and also the release of the fourth cd next year! The Ones who are Babymetal fans can't stand the anticipation, I hope you Try to react more using live music.

Great triple reaction, thanks! Well, it's all been said but what you need to know is that you barely scratched the surface. And, as I always say: expect the unexpected and prepare to be surprised. Also I'd like to suggest you some of their best live performances: - "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014. - "Headbanger" Live at Legend 1997. - "Road of Resistance" Live in Japan. See you next time!

I saw the babymetal video to. They have dominated spectacular perfectly performance skills.

Line is my favorite BabyMetal song, but I DEF love the metal too

They use local bands, often. For a USA tour they used Sabaton.

Pa Pa Ya is my favourite song from BabyMetal. It is also a pick me up song for me to brigthen up my mood on a bad day.

instrument play while rapping is Thailand traditional intrument called PHIN, they use Thai instrument coz F Hero is Thai rapper

I remember my Thai friends that are fans of BABYMETAL go absolute ape sh*t when this came out. Especially since F. Hero is one of the, if not THE best rappers in Thailand.

I loved this reaction! Very fun! Please more and more Babymetal! 🎸🎸🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Welcome to the foxhole! 🤘🏾🦊🤘🏾

Catch Me If You Can is a fun song watched live.

I love seeing the reaction of new people! Amuse Inc is a talent agency and their record company I believe is Tower Records. I think maybe Sony is involved too.

23:18 surprisingly, this is actually a traditional Thai string instrument very similar to a guitar.

If you haven't already you should watch the live 'gimme chocolate' performance

You should watch either “catch me if you can” or “rondo of nightmare” live versions. Both of these feature an intro from their band (the kami band) with Rondo being a Su-Metal solo and starts with the Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro. The Kami band are phenomenal musicians in their own right. There are fans who could tell you a lot more than me.

Minor point, but there has been no 'hiatus'. BABYMETAL are 'sealed' (not performing live shows) while work progresses on their fourth album, THE OTHER ONE, due for release March 2023. The seal will be broken at the end of January 2023 when they have two arena shows in Japan. BABYMETAL is wrapped up in a lot of lore that protects the real world people playing the characters of SU-METAL and MOAMETAL. The downside of this lore is you have to read between the lines a little to work out what's going on. We have been told to expect a new single before the end of October.

I love these baby metal reactions
