It’s always entertaining to watch the faces of Band Maid fans being born into the world. It’s what we watch reaction videos for in the first place. Rock on!

Misa has turned into the full on rock star yet completely elegant.

Thanks for sharing Band-Maid with more people in music. World Domination, one fan at a time!

… to be continued. Hopefully. Thx 👍💪

何時もBAND-MAIDを応援してくれてありがとう🙇

is it to be continued? i can't wait to hear from them 😁

Many of us just recently saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. And the BPM’s matched the DB's! 😶‍🌫Thx, Batty, Walsh & Jake! Keep the Maid train going! Over 120 awesome songs!!

Bandmaid's guitar tech Mu-chan is a hero and kanami dragged her on stage to take a bow at the end of the final gig in Chicago.

Thanks for spreading the word!.

Jake thought THAT was chaotic......LOL!!! Wait till he listens to "Black Hole", would love to be a bug on the wall to see that.

Chaotic, but every note is precisely where they want it. Every moment is measured. Chaotic, but as one reactor said they even play the silence well. Chaotic to a level that the average band would only hope to achieve. Yes, beautiful chaos. The five professional musicians working together to perfect their songs to a point of greatness. Their fans love them to no end. they have about 120 songs. Try to find the bad one. Good luck.

Akane is a goddess, and owns this song!

It's this sort of song composition (mostly by Obi-Wan Kanami, the lead guitarist) and playing ability that got Tony Visconti to visit one of their recent dates on their USA tour and bring along his Zemaitis for Miku (rhythm guitarist and band founder/creator) to have a go on. She handed it to her guitar sensei, Kanami, who immediately gave it a thorough testing while Tony V filmed her on his phone. He then tweeted it with the statement that they were "one of the best Rock bands I've ever seen"). Same reason Jimmy Page went backstage to get a selfie with Akane, the drummer, who had impressed the hell out of him. It's also the reason why they are, in my 48 years of going to Rock and Metal gigs (Sabbath were first, in 75), the most impressive Rock band I've ever seen (sorry, Zeppelin, but 79 was a long time ago!). THE best Rock band in existence and, like so many all-female or female-led bands from Japan (Babymetal, Nemophila, Lovebites, Asterism, Aldious, Lonesome Blue to name a few) are making all the best Rock and Metal for the 21st century.

By far the best band maid song to react too, sooo goooood🔥

Joel, this is a great concept. It is really interesting to hear from people who are the nuts and bolts of live show production. I am guessing that you broke this session up in to small segments because I could see that the original video was about 36 minutes long. This is very cool for those who follow the videos as you release them but might be a bit convoluted for those who stumble onto your channel later on as KZfaq will throw them up as suggestions in random order. I can understand why you have done this; you probably feel that 30+ minutes is too long for a video, but you will find that Band-Maid fans will watch the whole thing through in large numbers. You only have to look at how many viewers flock to reactors who take on Cryptic Misery's 43ish-minute video explaining the first 10 years of Babymetal. Babymetal fans watch good reactors covering it in droves. The same thing happens with Band-Maid. The fan base is so strong and rusted on they will gleefully watch any quality content regarding them. I have seen a couple of your "bring your buddies on" reactions and I have to say they are wonderful insights from experts in their fields. This is high quality, first source material that fans love. Be they fans of Band-Maid, Babymetal, RHCP, G'n'R or Iron Maiden. So, as long as it is interesting, fans will watch up to about an hour, without any complaints. Thanks for this video, I can't wait to see the next installment.

The state of Rock music in the US has been seriously lacking for at least 10 years. The bands that used to be good are ending it one album at a time. Band Maid has given me hope for the future of rock music.

I hope that there will be even one more BAND-MAID fan. If they have the ability, I think it is possible to gather 30,000 people and explode in the dome. However, I have mixed feelings because it's nice to make a fuss with 3,000 people in a homely atmosphere.

Wow, impressive resume, I imagine Batty as a story or two! Can't wait for part two.

Reminder...Red Rose Miku, Sept. 14, 2017 interview: At the Band forming nobody in our band had done "Hard Rock" so we had started without knowing anything - we have grown greatly musically as a Band.

Mo0AaR!!! May I have some more, please?

I remember another raody reaction and he got all the amps, the drums, kanamis guitar, and even knew Miku's guitar but was stumped on the bass because the SG black cloud bass is japanese

Dang, I'm sure you already did the video with Saiki-san but I hope if you haven't let them listen to Rinne or Black Hole yet, please do! Moratorium or Warning! works too. :D

At 2:30 my man's like "I need to put on my glasses and appreciate this fully." 🤣

Now I'm looking forward to seeing them react to one with Saiki involved, preferably a live one.

I was thinking Band Maid was exactly the sort of band Lemmy would have dug.

YES！！！😆😆😆

Well done -- good video post concept, interesting people, top-flight band, great song. Batty has worked for some very interesting bands -- a very eclectic listing (no wonder you two are kindred spirits). Good taste shown by all involved. Although I grew up with Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath -- and have happily seen more than half the bands in Batty's list -- you can play Band Maid and Motorhead all day long, and I'll be just fine.

There is also a piano and maybe some synth tones. The synth soundalike tones might be Miku's guitar, but it might also be a synth. But, there is definitely a piano there.

The guy nearest the camera reminds me of Eric Clapton.

from now on is cinematic, for sure. I'm curious to hear what you picked for the vocals.

Would love to see you guys to react to Domination(first song i fell in love with!) it really shows Saiki(lead vocals) command of the crowd!!

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

BLACK HOLE for chaotic.

There are other Japanese Female Bands who can play, but they just don't write the songs the way BAND-MAID does. Their music speaks to me where as the other bands just sound generic.

Chaotic, eh? Play them “Black Hole” 😈

Until I discovered Japanese(2018) music I was classic hard rock guy. Going to a western rock concert could be a disappointment because it was not as good as the record. For the Japanese, concerts are even better that the recordings. Now the Japanese focus and practice more and they don't use drugs but I'm wondering how much new equipment plays a part. Maybe a little segment on the evolution of equipment for a concert would be a cool idea.

"I like chaos" welcome my young friend, have you heard our ladies song of the black hole? Do you have a few minutes to speak about our maid and saviors?? lol

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

😁

Well, then you have to put this to the test with Kevin: Asterism playing Ace of Spades - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZuIqM6f0dzOn5c.html There is also a live version from 2017 but the sound is not optimal on that one though the show and energy is better: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etSdg91lnp3Zf40.html Enjoy! 😀
