If you like thrash metal, they do that, if you like NWOBHM, hard rock, progressive rock, soft ballads, piano, acoustic guitar - they do all that too. No other band has grabbed my attention in the past 30 years like Lovebites has. Their two guitarists are amazing!! So is the drummer.

    Some people hear their 80s guitar tone sound and think "oh this is old", which it most definitely is NOT. They are keeping heavy metal alive and saving it from the doom and gloom being promoted by other bands. One of the reasons they dress in white. They are the lone wolves of heavy metal which is why the wolf is their mascot and pictured on the front of every album. Hence the name WOLFPACK was adopted by the fan base.

    I remember that you guys needed to warm up to them, but good on you for giving them another go. The original MV for this was the one that broke them to the world, and left a lot of people wondering if they can actually play this live. Question answered. They always nail it live, which is nuts given how intense all of their songs are. Small side note: MIyako (dark-haired guitarist) was 4+ months pregnant when they did this show.

Miho, finger running fast on fret board amazingly. Vocalist Asami with golden voice and high note.. unbeliveable. Lovebites, whole package was magical band. Almost all their songs have syncronised guitar shredding, back and forth battle. Great reaction guys, thanks.

    I'm glad that you've returned to Lovebites. I like how drummer Haruna is doing stick tricks from time to time despite the intensity of their music haha. Also the black-haired guitarist was pregnant during this concert. Shadowmaker is one of their best songs, but they really have no bad ones as far as I'm concerned. Some I like better than others, sure, but you can't really go wrong with any of them. I would recommend listening to The Crusade or Golden Destination next. Both are excellent songs and very Iron Maiden-esque. And both have great music videos if you want to listen to a studio version for a change. I'll link both the studio and a great live version for you to decide: The Crusade (music video) ruclips.net/video/ueKyQ4xI-mY/видео.html, The Crusade (live version) ruclips.net/video/0guewPdnrKQ/видео.html

    Your return to Lovebites was a happy surprise today. Of the three songs that you have heard, I would personally put Shadowmaker between Swan Song and Holy War. Both Shadowmaker and Swan Song were written by Miyako which shows her song writing skill. I suggest Set The World On Fire (another Miyako song) or Break The Wall (the only Miyako and Miho collaboration) as your nest listen. Break The Wall has a Miyako solo that still gets to me every time I hear it. Edge of the World is a really good prog metal song but was not written by any of the band members.

    A few of the thrashers and also the twin tapping is also used on (We The United, and especially on Signs of Deliverance) for thrashers that sound like Slayer/Metallica/Maiden/Priest (Break The Wall,The Crusade,M.D.O) for ballads (Edge of The world,Epilogue) for rockers not as dark but still fast (Rising,Empty Daydream,Burden of Time) for covers of other bands (Love Bites and so do I-Halestorm, Painkiller-Judas Priest, and Eagle Fly Free-Helloween)

    @LovebitesFanForLife 2 года назад +24

    Their most mind-blowing guitar solo for speed and precision is probably "Shadowmaker" or "When Destinies Align". WDA is quite similar to this song so might not be what you are looking for. They have a song titled "Scream For Me" where they do an incredible guitar "battle" which is probably what you are looking for. It isn't as fast but they go back and forth multiple times and get creative with their solo parts that you will find quite interesting. The live video of it is from 2019 when they weren't quite as polished as they are now but it is still a phenomenal perormance. Here is the link to "Scream For Me" ruclips.net/video/acwkphgzNg8/видео.html Others will mention "Signs of Deliverance" which has a great duel synchronous finger tapping part that is amazing to see but it isn't neary as epic as the other songs I mentioned. Here is the link for "Signs of Deliverance" the live version: ruclips.net/video/onsMrAdyMcw/видео.html It's from 2020.

    "Scream for me" has the best battle but I think my favorite solo so far is "when destinies align" official music video although that song is very power metal and a bit repetitive. "We the united" live at Depp City Diver has a great duel solo also. There are honestly so many.

    Good to see you back with Lovebites. What took you so long? As far as Freebird goes - LB mainly go fast from the start whereas Freebird starts slow and then cranks up. So with that in mind you should consider "Edge of the World" live 2020 ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html and "Frozen Serenade" live 2021
    ruclips.net/video/sEjN7dAh4ok/видео.html . But in all honesty virtually all their tracks have great guitar work.

    You've done Holy War, Swan Song, Shadowmaker.... some of their most Power Metal / Heavy Metal stuff. You love guitarwork, so you are ok with that, but Lovebites is more varied that what you might think, always stick to those 80s metal though.
    I would say check *Break the Wall,* thrash stuff, but also with excellent guitarwork.

    LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me
    From all of the darkness and solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
    Reckless and fast, how long will I last?
    Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
    Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
    Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
    Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
    Am I all alone?
    Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
    Hide, in shadows I reside
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
    Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
    But still I go on, my hunger is strong
    Hoping that someone will grab my hand
    Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
    Maybe it's too late?
    No one can save me from solitude
    Cry, like shadows of the night
    I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
    In desolated land knowing no escape
    But still I wish to live
    Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
    Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
    Like shadows of the night
    I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
    Despite going through this hell
    Cause still my heart has hope
    No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
    Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

    You boys have nailed it this time - the band was designed from the beginning to revive the sound of 80's British Metal (they recently did a cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller). The Name Lovebites came directly from Halestorm's Love Bites (and so do I). You want Solos? Chad has already linked Scream For Me (guitar battle with 14 solos), and Signs of Deliverence -- so I'll add When Destinies Align (a song ABOUT Lovebites - 165 BPM) ruclips.net/video/e48OwGcT3Bo/видео.html , Edge of the World (no dual solos here, but you can clearly hear Miyako's influence from her hero Gary Moore in her Epic solo [starts @ 60 BPM finishes @ 175 BPM) ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html . Last but not least, one of their most uptempo songs Winds of Transylvania - 195 BPM ruclips.net/video/VMnUYhwLxXg/видео.html

'nothing to say' and 'inside ' both kicked teacher's butt out of the classroom ! but LOVEBITES may be the most perfect band i've ever seen in every aspect. japanese ladies kicking everyone's ass. whoulda thunk it ?

    If I should try to describe Miyako and Midori as performers, I would probably say that Midori is more like Kirk Hammet it terms of shredding, while Miyako is more like Edie Van Halen in terms of tecnicality. But together they play with the chemistry of Murray and Smith between them (as Iron Maiden is admitedly the greatest influence of the band).

    The band’s guitarist actually wrote a song that was to be their twin guitar masterpiece to rival DragonForces “Through the Fire and Flames,” which up to this point was considered the best twin guitar solo ever. The song is Lovebites “When Destinies Align,”and it compares well with any solo ever played at anytime in rock/metals history.

    NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS
    February 29, 2022
    Writer Colin Davidson interviews the Biscuit City Bakers.
    After playing to a less than capacity crowd at Hammersmith Odeon, I have a chance to interview the Biscuit City Bakers aka BCB. The band consists of John Wolfingham drums, Paul Chambers bass end vocals, Peter Samwell Smyth keyboards, Jeffrey Leicester rhythm guitar and vocals and Izzy Iridium lead guitar and vocals. Tonight’s concert was the first on the tour supporting the release of their first album titled “reversing light.” When asked about the title, drummer Wolfingham spoke up” it’s like going back from light to dark.” So, it’s a dark metal music. “We don’t want to be labeled is this or that.” Leicester responded. “It can be dark; it could be light. We would prefer to call it biscuit metal; crusty on the outside soft on the inside.”
    I notice on three of the nine tracks on the album you have a female vocal tell me about her. “That’s Sigrid Johannessen, the Swedish Nightingale. She’s not part of the band. She’s, our collaborator. We’re the band but she supplies lyrics and near operatic vocals on a few songs” Smyth chimes in. “She is a cross between the softness of Nico and the power of Siouxsie Sioux.”
    Tell me about the song Iceberg Ahead. Is that about the Titanic? Yes, Sigrid wrote the lyrics and Izzy the music.” Paul Chambers responds “we just felt that there had never been a real interpretation of the story of the Titanic. We hope to have that as our first video.” And what about the Borstal Punishment number. Well, that is our four-minute opus, Chambers continues, regarding justice and redemption.
    Izzy grabs an acoustic guitar and sits in a corner working on a new song, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”.
    She has the look of a burnin ray
    There is truth in what they say
    A modern Medusa in every way
    Do not gaze into the eyes of Tammy Faye
    What are your plans for touring? Our manager Nigel Allen is booking dates here in the UK and then on to Europe. Amsterdam, Stockholm of course, Germany and Poland. The environmental metal band, Terra Gone will be on some of the shows. And at the end of May, we will be on the bill with Rasputin’s Rash, Delusional, Heaven’s Urchins and others at Mozzapaloosa in Oxnard Fairgrounds. We want our fans to come and enjoy biscuit music.
