One of the "Killer Bs" easily one of my favorites. I am not going to complain about where you rank songs........I may not always agree but personal taste just works that way. This task you have given yourself is definitely not going to get easier from here. I have heard the entire catalog and remember my first time through it. Mind blowing song after mind blowing song. It's easy for anyone who goes through the catalog to see why so many of us fell in love with BAND-MAID.
Band-Maid's older, somewhat overlooked songs are going to be rediscovered for years to come. This will bring a continuous flow of new fans into their fold. Some of these tunes are heavy, hard punk rock adding a new depth of artistry to the Maids many fans didn't know they had. Of course, for Maidiacs, they always knew about these bitchin tunes long ago and still listen to them all the time. Thx, Ross!
Wait...off in the distance. Can you hear it? The seismic rumble heading your way? 13 juggernauts with their sights set directly at your top ten. Will the brow be furrowed? Will the tears flow? Will the bumps of the goose arise? Well hell yeah!!! LOL
🤣🤣🤣 As you said, "oh crap." I started laughing. I really hope you don't mind us all laughing at your pain, but this really is an "Unfair Game!" Good Luck Maidiac!
When the Maids realised the strength of the B-sides, this and track 3- MG, I reckon they NEEDED to tag the YOLO Instrumental on the end...put a spotlight on the musicality and JUSTIFY the choice of A-side. Me...I refuse to choose what's best and just keep looping around that CD single...aka Good Firkin Times 😁👍
Yaaaaaaaay .... what a highly under rated gem. !!!!!!!! Thanx for that !!!!!!!!!! Everyone has a top 5 with 50 - 80 songs in it but this is always in my actual top 5. You've only listened to this once ... go back a few times - in sayin that, I love YOLO as well haha.
They considered this a "B-side" to the YOLO single, and it didn't make the "Just Bring It" album. "Matchless Gum" is the other "B-side" to the "YOLO" single and it didn't make it to "Just Bring It" either. I hope you have an awesome week, K-Ross!
Usually in the comments I like to make a comment about this thing or that thing that interested me, or something that doesn't get enough attention, or something Band-Maid does that no other band would do, things like that. But, I dunno, this song just kicks all kinds of ass haha. NEW: Unfair Game YOLO Alone the non-fiction days Yuragu Thrill Freezer Real Existence Shake That!!

All songs up until now are interesting and replayable because they employed certain tricks at certain times to keep that engagement. This one threw them all in at once, including a few others, like clearing out for Akane’s fill/transitions into the next section. Not overly complex but because they popped and right up front you can hear right away that they are all different and purposeful (rather than just feeling it), Kanami’s extended solo goes without saying and MISA providing the epilogue is a taste of things to come. 1.

Let someone say again that Kanami is not a shredder. And the same goes for MISA on bass while she adds so much melody to the songs. 🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - ♬ *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊️
I mean, yeah, this one is impossible. Might be my favorite Kanami solo out of the entire catalogue with Unfair Game, and I love the riffs... but that Yolo pre-chorus, and the palm-muted parts, and THAT solo... yeah... just glad I have both of them.
"Unfair Game" MIGHT be your new/next/another "Fr🥶🥶z🥶r (just sayin'). AND (never start a sentence with the word 'and') you are CORRECT! NOW is when the ranking becomes "UNSANELY" difficult. 🤯 🤯🤯🤯🕊.
Personally I watch your rankings only to see you suffer. The whole ranking system has always been impossible with Band Maid. But having decided to do the ranking. It now is just watching somebody go through therapy. At the end of this (hopefully it will never end). You will be a dribbling, twitching and have the sunken eyes and still claim 'this is a tough one'. Madness is creeping in.
You're playing an unfair game, Ross, because a lot of fans are going to cringe. I like Yolo but Unfair Game totally blew me away and that's a weak word. The intro, awesome, the riff, awesome, the solo, absolutely awesome, the bass, the drums, the guitars, the vocals, everything is absolutely awesome in this song. But a ranking is personal and everyone makes their own ranking or, like me does not make any. THANKS
Maidiacs will spaz at me for this, but as much as I love Saiki, I'm just not feeling how the tone and rhythm of the singing is in this one. I would love to hear this as an instrumental, as drums/bass/guitars are utterly spectacular here, and are amongst my favourites of all Band-Maid songs.
And that's a "B" side..... 😮🤘
One of my favorite "mincho mode" solos.
That wasn't just stank face, that was constipation face!!! Him holding on to the wall for dear life! 🤣🤣

Ross's Ranking gets better each week. It's like he's on a spit slowly turning over an open fire.😂
Or tied to a chair with electrodes in sensitive places and a sadist is cranking the juice! 😂🤣⚡⚡⚡⚡
Wonder when he'll get a fork?
Ranking Band-Maid songs is an unfair game to begin with...but you already realized it by now😏

Unfair Game has the 3rd position on my Band-Maid Top-10 song list.
The song has it all.
I`m so happy, ha ha !!!
YOLO and Unfair Game are fantastic, but next week brings my favorite of the 3. Matchless Gum. Good luck, you tortured soul! Bwahahahahaha!!
Woo Hoo.🙆♂️ Unfair Game still has Mincho's longest & maddest solo :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 . Next to "The Big Bang" , Minchos solo bangs the most 🤘...uh🤭..i mean, it's a banger.
Unfair Game is a classic for me so just put it at No. One
'unfair game', the brooding and equally angry step-sibling of the mad and frantic 'i can't live without you'. 🔥
Wait...off in the distance. Can you hear it? The seismic rumble heading your way? 13 juggernauts with their sights set directly at your top ten. Will the brow be furrowed? Will the tears flow? Will the bumps of the goose arise? Well hell yeah!!! LOL

Along with Freezer and I Can't Live Without You this rounds out my personal top 3.
At this point, for me, this is the best Band Maid song. My holy trinity are Unfair Game, Clang and The One!
#4 on my all time BM list. Moody dark and fantastic.
Palpable pain in the thumbnail. Great work.
When it comes to ranking Unfair Game, ranking is truly an unfair game!
Fans who skip the singles are missing some really great songs 😉

... so the longest Kanami solo in the catalog gets a two? Boooo :p .
@@PANIC_aka_PinD There's nothing wrong with being a number two....🤔Oh hang on.💩
🤣🤣
@@GaryHolloway-810It'll float to the top after a few more listens! 🙈
👋
I’m good with #2…stank face and all.😵💫
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
You rank tears above stank face. Where do you rank chills?
Maidiacs will spaz at me for this, but as much as I love Saiki, I'm just not feeling how the tone and rhythm of the singing is in this one. I would love to hear this as an instrumental, as drums/bass/guitars are utterly spectacular here, and are amongst my favourites of all Band-Maid songs.
