Man, I'm so disappointed in my fellow Babymetal fans for all the hate in the comments. The video has even got more dislikes than likes, and all you did was politely give us your honest opinion. I've always hated how most reaction videos are just sellouts, sucking up to the fans to get those sweet views, and here you are, doing exactly what you are supposed to do, and getting shot down for it. Very sad. So you don't like power metal. Big deal. Babymetal has 41 tracks across 3 albums, and only maybe 5 or 6 are power metal. Their music is actually incredibly diverse, and there are more songs just as hard (or harder) than "Catch Me If You Can", and many of them with less poppy vocals as well.
Do you think you could do me a personal favour, and just listen to one more song before you give up on Babymetal completely? No need to make a video of you reacting to it. Just click on this link when you have a few minutes to spare: ruclips.net/video/HPAmQ0vsmGw/видео.html
Not saying that you will necessarily love that particular song (although you probably will), but it will at the very least show you that your picture of Babymetal is very incomplete. They go full hip hop in "BxMxC" and full prog metal in "Tales of the Destinies". Not everything sounds like the two songs you've listened to so far.
So if you ever do want to try to react to them ever again, then here are three songs (one from each album) that you are more likely to approve of:
Babymetal Death: ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html
Sis. Anger: ruclips.net/video/BZLZcoWZKN0/видео.html
Kagerou: ruclips.net/video/GTUOyNHpvZY/видео.html
If you are still with us at this point, then maybe we could get back to a few of the old fan favorites:
Rondo of Nightmare (with the Mischief of the Metal Gods intro): ruclips.net/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/видео.html
Megitsune (a music video this time): ruclips.net/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/видео.html
Headbanger: ruclips.net/video/QEsOaMbNFww/видео.html
And with "Headbanger" I think we have come back to a song that's actually somewhat similar to "Catch Me If You Can". So maybe we can call it a full circle, or something. Only 32 more to go (plus a few covers)!
Did you ever check out any of the videos above? I'm guessing not, or I'm pretty sure you would have done more Babymetal by now. I really think you should give it another try. You are missing out on some truly great music, dude!
@@egodreas - seems like he has made up his mind. He do not like when it is popsy. And to be fair, there is a bit of popsy in several songs. So, it is a fair chance he will take another one he do not like. So, maybe it is for the best. It did not sound like he was all that interested in the heavy parts either. So, let the guy be.
Here's the issue: Babymetal is purposefully uplifting. It's part of their mission statement. If you need Metal to be dark and angry, you're not going to like them. I am tired of how dark Metal has become, how there aren't very many singers anymore. Babymetal is refreshing and has made me excited again about "Metal".
"I don't judge anybody's music. I don't say 'This is trash' or whatever" and then a few mins later: "This is one of the worst shits I have ever heard in this genre". You clearly don't like the uplifting positive spin they put on metal which is fine. There are plenty of dark/broody/angry metal for you to enjoy which I don't get or can't appreciate. I am tempted to suggest reacting to Rondo of Nightmare which is a bit darker, but I think it would be better to just move on to another band you relate to better.
When the drummer is going apeshit, the guitars are being shredded, you have pyrotechnics going off and three people are riding the horses of the apocolypse into battle, and the reaction is "This is not metal", I don't think anything Babymetal does will ever fall into your definition of metal or what you enjoy about metal and that is totally cool.
Exactly...an honest reaction is fine but the "it's not metal" deal, especially during that part, is what irritates people.
"Dying the eastern sky true red, the light of the signal fire marks the end of the darkness of solitude, let it be your guide. Even if you are crushed again and again, let your inner fire burn! Now is the time! Is the time! This moment right now, is the time! Is the time! We'll do it together. Just now is the time! Is the time! I sing for the you of tomorrow. Now the time has come. Go for Resistance! Resistance! Our hearts are one. If you believe in your way go on even if you have to forge your own path! Forever! Forever! The hot Metal spirit burns in the depths of our hearts. It is our Resistance."
Hi Grumpy Nerd! Thanks for your honesty. It's fine if you don't like BABYMETAL, I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm not really sure you gave the song a chance. The reason why it sounds like an "anime soundtrack" to you is because they sing in Japanese, in fact this is a criticism I have with a lot of reactors who say "it sounds like an anime song". Almost all "anime songs" are just normal Japanese songs, not specifically made for the show they're chosen for. Also, this songs guitar arrangement was done by Herman Li and Sam Totman of DragonForce, who also played it for the studio version. I suppose you may not like power/speed metal as well, and that's also fine. You also say the song is very "poppy". I suppose if you also consider DragonForce to be pop then that's your opinion, however this song is pure metal, perhaps just not a genre of metal you like.
When I hear this song, I don't hear an "poppy anime song", I hear a DragonForce song sung in Japanese, and it's alright if you don't like that, but if that's not what you heard, if you are stuck on the "anime song" aspect, then it's possible you may not be giving the music a fair shake.
Wow. I mean, wow. This was something. I don't know if you genuinely disliked this as much as it seems you did, or if you were just out to troll us and prepared all the hate in advance? You certainly start off very aggressively toward your viewers and are instantly dismissive of the song, even before it starts! I've watched hundreds of reactors watch this and I've never seen anyone dismiss Dragonforce as 'too poppy'. It makes me wonder if you had pre-prepared put-downs for BABYMETAL and didn't feel you could deviate from your script? You had all the cliché BABYMETAL put-downs - sounds like an anime song, it's too poppy, it's not metal. If I'd been playing Metal Elitist Bingo I'd have had a full house.
As a long-time, die-hard BABYMETAL fan, I do have one request and that is that you give up reacting to them. They are clearly not something you enjoy, so why put yourself and the fans through it again?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!! This was an honest in the moment reaction. OMG I'm so sorry you only watch dishonest reactions that play to the views. I was honest, as I always am. Sorry i dont love every song from your beloved band. I have integrity. I didnt like ONE song! get over it.
i have a request too. Go watch ONLY people that love this band, or aren't honest and play to what you yourself like. problem solved
I've watched many reactions from people who don't like the band. They're not to everyones' taste. My problem with your reaction is that you seem determined not to like it before it even starts. You talk at the start and throughout about how people will give you 'hate comments'. You clearly want them.
Teuchter Loon watch again
Teuchter Loon actually. Don’t. Lol.
I must have watched 100 reactions to this video. I am shocked... SHOCKED!!!! you didn't like it. Everybody loves it. Being a huge Babymetal fan, this video is the ultimate (IMHO) of what they have done. However, I gave you a thumbs up just because music opinions are personal and there shouldn't be any hate involved.
Yeah, no problem if that one isn't for you and no harm done with an honest opinion, you're not trashing it, it just isn't your sort of metal ... I did wonder if that might happen. The guitar arrangements for this were written (and played on the studio version) by Herman Li and Sam Totman of DragonForce and this is very much a speed/power metal song, as it would be with their involvement. I think this was most recommended because of the performance more than the song itself and to show how a 17 year old and two 15 year olds could control a crowd of, in this instance, 20,000 people.
As we said before, every song they do is different. I think there are many other songs in their catalogue that you would like/enjoy more, so I'll give you a couple of links:
- 'BABYMETAL Death' live at Legend 1997 a show from December 2013 celebrating the lead singer's 16th birthday) usually their opening number as the few lyrics are basically them introducing themselves, but used on this occasion to close the show ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html
- 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997 again ruclips.net/video/QEsOaMbNFww/видео.html
- 'Rondo of Nightmare' with 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods' instrumental intro live at Budokan, Black Night (this is a Su-metal solo, so just her singing with the Kami Band, no Yui or Moa) ruclips.net/video/QxYAcIyk2Co/видео.html
- 'Sis Anger' - a Black BABYMETAL song (no Su-metal, this is a Yuimetal and Moametal duet), arguably BABYMETALs heaviest song instrumentally, but with the contrast of Yui's and Moa's vocals. This is live at the Tokyo Dome with a sell out crowd of 55,000 people. www.dailymotion.com/video/x5nx7sk
I don't think Babymetal is for you, but if any of their songs is it would be Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro
That's exactly what I thought, why did they recommend this? It's like an end of the show song.
He should watch 1997 legend, Su crucifixion.
"BABYMETAL is pretty dull" -> find me some band that is less dull and let's have a debate. When your composers are some of the best in the business, when your musicians are some of the best musicians in Japan and when your albums have - prog metal, pop, hip/hop, funk, electro, drumnbass, death metal, black metal, latino, hindi, eurobeat, rap, power metal, power ballads, alternative metal, nu-metal, dubstep, metalcore, symphonic and a tons more i'm forgetting - That's not what I'd call dull :P.
I have seen the like/dislike ratio and have been anxious to watch this tbh :D.
I can understand not liking the music, this song isn't in my top list but the performance is insane and that's the whole package we want you to see. I agree with you saying that this song isn't all that but the performance itself is a sight to see. I'm sure we'll find songs that you like more :). I'm thinking DEATH at Legend 97 or Sis Anger at TD. Try those ;). There's a song for everybody from BABYMETAL. 99% of the metalheads that reacted to this loved it, you're one of the 1% and that's fine ! You shouldn't be shat on for having a different opinion, that's never good. Overall honest and good reaction, so you get my like ! Cheers :).
Arguing with preferences is an odd thing. :)
@@sana-cm7oc There's a difference between not liking something and calling it "dull". I can accept not liking BABYMETAL but to suggest it's dull means you have a very very very very very high standard for things that are uncommon/original/surprising/diverse/unexpected. Wether you like this band or you don't, you can not argue against the fact that they fit those criteria; therefore they can be polarizing but not 'dull' - on the contrary.

"Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance)
It's perfectly fine if this is not for you.
However, if you don't like this BABYMETAL song, you should probably not bother to continue.
This is a solid speed metal song, and if this one is too pop for you, than it's pretty pointless for you to go on.
I liked the last one way better
@The Grumpy Nerd Maybe try 'Karate', but this group may just not be for you.
That's fine. I'm a huge fan, not everyone has to be.
@@TheGrumpyNerd I'm not a big fan of speed metal and this song dosn't do a whole lot for me. Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of gods intro is incredible. Top 5 intros to a metal song of all time in my opinion. Song is hard as hell.
Jed Dahnke be careful saying you dont really like this song. 😂
@@TheGrumpyNerd Lol, this backlash is surprising. The fandom for this band is really chill and welcoming. I did get downvoted down on Reddit for disliking the speed metal track Arkadia on the new album. Nothing wrong with an honest opinion, keep em coming.
It's ok to be honest.... there are a lot of fake reactors out there who are just going through the motions to get the views.
BABYMETAL are pioneering a new sub-genre of metal....it's a deliberate fusion of metal and J-Pop. This is something innovative, it's not been done before and their music is bringing in a lot of new fans who would not normally listen to metal. BABYMETAL are like a gateway drug which opens up non-metal fans' minds to the world of rock and metal, and it also works in the other direction too.....getting a lot of metal "purists" to break out of their normal doom and gloom mindset and let a little fun and happiness into their lives with BABYMETAL's catchy pop choruses.
Some of BABYMETAL's songs are a LOT more poppy....their breakthrough video "Gimme Chocolate" has had over 100M views....it's about 75% pop to metal but it has a killer shred solo in the middle! There are so many types of metal out there, black metal, speed metal, thrash metal, death metal, power metal, prog metal...even pirate metal! (BABYMETAL have a pirate metal song on their new album....it's terrible btw! lol).....but my point is that there's room for them all.
If nobody tries to push the boundaries, metal will just stagnate and stay in the same old rut that it has been in for decades.
Other Japanese girl metal bands are playing safe and keeping to the standard metal formula..... Band Maid are very good, so are LoveBites but neither are breaking any new ground: LoveBites are essentially a female version of Iron Maiden.
Many metal musical icons have shown support for BABYMETAL: Metallica, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Dragonforce, Slayer, Korn, Rob Zombie...they all "get it". BABYMETAL are admittedly more theatrical than most other rock or metal bands...personally (to use a historical comparison) I'd put them at the Meat Loaf/Kiss end of the spectrum...both of those acts were heavily derided when they first came out, but went on to conquer the world... just as BABYMETAl are doing today. Example: a recent (very positive) BABYMETAL reaction video from a non-metal viewer has just appeared from Nigeria!!! (Check out my Babymetal Reactions playlist!)
Please give BABYMETAL one more try.....here they are at the UK Download 2018 Metal Festival (in new more "mature" costumes... and extra backing dancers!).... playing in front of approx. 80,000 appreciative "mainstream" metal fans:
"Distortion" ruclips.net/video/FzgU3W5ZgzU/видео.html ....hope this one floats your boat! :)
I do not understand what you actually classify as „too poppy“. In my opinion the first song by Babymetal you reacted to had much more pop elements than this one. This one is pretty much just speed metal.
I think you might enjoy Rondo of nightmare as many other comments already suggested. That’s much heavier. Keep up the great reactions, maybe I‘ll catch a stream someday.
„too poppy“ - singing "blocks" are integrated in the melody of the background, background melody is simple and light, and the "key shifting" in the chorus.
I think it was a poor choice of words. I wonder if instead of poppy he did not like how the song goes from major chords to major chords. Instead of dropping into a dark minor chord.
@@sana-cm7oc Yes, this is the right point, he expected crazy breakdowns and heavy riffs, thins song was too soft for him.
This song won a lot of “metal song of the year” awards. As mentioned no two BabyMetal songs are alike. Others to try are Legend of 1997 Head Banger and Karate the official video.
Here is the thing, other major metal bands love them, love to sneak on stage and play with their band. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have performed Breaking the Law on stage with them. Rod Halford has performed Painkiller with them.
In this song the girls were 17 and 15 and the lead singer Su parted the crowd like Moses parting the Red Sea. Name me an other group 17 and 15 that could have put on such a performance
I think the reason why this song is recommended a lot is not so much the song itself but the presentation, the energy and the crowd reaction. It's not one of my favourite songs, but I love watching this performance (or being in the crowd, of course). But if this song is not heavy enough and too poppy for you, then BABYMETAL will never be your thing. Putting uplifting melodies and lyrics, cute dancing and captivating smiles into Metal is BABYMETAL's defining feature, so if you are not susceptible to that, they are not for you.
Everybody has their own taste, and that's good, as long as you respect others.
I'm getting a bit tired of the "sounds like anime" argument, though. I think the reason for people saying that is mainly because anime is the only thing where they get in contact with the Japanese language. So everything with Japanese language (and particularly female voices) sounds like anime to them. Also, even though I'm not even an anime fan, I don't understand why you are saying "this sounds like anime music" like that would make it impossible to appreciate. Is that a bad thing in itself?
I'm a bit suprised you hate the song that much, but as I said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you are not an a** about it and even find some nice words to say about some aspects, so you are forgiven. ;-)
Edit:
Just read your pinned comment about the fan reaction. I almost feel like apologizing on behalf of the fans. I always thought the majority were open and reasonable. To be honest, I fail to understand how a closed minded person could even become a BABYMETAL in the first place. It's against everything they stand for. Many of us have been defending them against attacks by closed-minded metalheads for years, so it's sad to see some of us are no better at all.
If you are attacking someone just for not liking BABYMETAL, you shouldn't call yourself a BABYMETAL fan, because you obviously don't even understand what they are about.
MacTaipan yeah the crowd shots were awesome. I even said that. Lol. Pretty crazy for sure. Can’t imagine being on stage and seeing that. Has to be amazing
I don't see anyone attacking him for not liking the song. If he is being attacked at all, and that is debatable, it is because he is an obvious troll who offers nothing but contempt for the music. If Grumpy nerd or anyone else thinks he is being attacked simply for not liking a song they need to get out into the real world a little more often.
@@jeffschreifels8651 I don't see it, either, but he said so in a pinned comment (you can still see it further down). Apparently he was called a racist among other things and deleted those comments. I can't tell how many comments like that he got and from how many people. To me it sounded like it were a lot, but I might be wrong. But every rotten apple in our community that I hold in high regard is one too many.
@@MacTaipan He did say he deleted some and I certainly hope he wasn't actually called racist. I have absolutely zero respect for anyone that goes around labeling people as racist because they disagree with something a minority does. Judging from past experience, I am very doubtful that nonsense came from any Babymetal fan. If that actually happened, for that he does deserve an apology. He would have been better off to leave these alleged comments so we can all see them. The fans would likely have gone after those commenters if they saw it. With no proof, I have a hard time believing him.
The thing is, it is pretty common for exaggerations to occur. in addition, we've all seen this plot before. Person trolls band, people call him out for it. person immediately gets defensive and claims fan-base is toxic. It's just an attempt to discredit.
@@jeffschreifels8651 I dont need to appease you, or to show you PROOF. I have shown all my friends screenshots. I dont actually care what you think. It's shitty to be called racist, by most likely white people who probably have zero culture. lol. bottom line is, I can deal with dumb asshole insults, I'm not a pussy. but dont ever fucking call me racist. especially when i can probably guess YOU're a racist. get me? thats my issue. Ive had terrible comments that were actually witty as hell on other videos, and made me laugh my ass off.
But as far as you're concerned. find a hobby. you've already spent way too much time trying to call me a liar, and discredit what people are saying to me , all because you are upset that i dont like ONE song from ONE band that you love. its weird. its a video. of one random nobodys opinion. on a band. of one song. Think about that.
Pretty obvious from your first reaction you wouldn't like any of Babymetal's poppier offerings. So people suggesting this video couldn't read the writing on the wall. You'd probably be more into Death or Headbanger. Appreciate the honesty. Everyone has different tastes.
this guy think that dragonforce is pop
No, is worse.
Come on guys, respect, we are The One. He's not feeling it but we do that's why we are The One.
A hail The Fox God 🤘🤘🤘
Looking at the like/dislike ratio made me really hesitant to look at the comment section. I'm very happy to see that most people seem to be nice and polite about you not liking the song. You gave your honest opinion while still being respectful and you seemed to genuinely give them a chance, which I really appreciate. Personally I love Babymetal, but I'm very much not a fan of metal. It's stressful and headache inducing for me, but Babymetal has enough pop and flow in the songs that I really like them. Do I wish you'd liked it? Of course. But I also realize that this band (or any band/artist) is not for everyone. I'm just happy you gave them a chance and gave an honest opinion, even with the backlash that might have brought. Thank you for the video, I'm definitely checking out more from you.
I have a feeling you would like Rondo of Nightmare w/ Mischiefs of God Intro (ruclips.net/video/QxYAcIyk2Co/видео.html) and BABYMETAL Death Legend 1997 (ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html) better than RoR. As others have mentioned, you would also like some of the Black BABYMETAL songs like Sis Anger (ruclips.net/video/dd4I04bmTs4/видео.html).
Not to defend the badmouths, but one thing that you should understand about BABYMETAL is that there is a big 'back story' regarding BABYMETAL. How they were created, how they overcame so much adversity (not just the usual music business adversity, but real personal tragedies) and ended up being legitimately recognized as one of the top live acts in the world .... BABYMETAL fans are very protective of the girls as they've literally seen them grow up ... they're like family ... so they can maybe be forgiven for being a bit 'over-protective'!!?
Yeah I left a very similar comment and he flew off the handle and cursed me out.
back story? haha sure
here's the the thing Grumpy.... first time i saw this i was ..Meh?? but after seeing their stuff and realizing they are not trying to be Metal , but have their own thing called Kawaii Metal ( Cute metal) I took it for what is , and realized , like it not ...This is one of the pest performances you will see by any band no matter what style you are into. It is simply amazing in its own way. Now i love it ! W - T - F ???? It Speed metal tinged - Queen like - J Pop. Actually Brian May of Queen presented Baby Metal with the Metal Hammer Magazine Award for Best Touring International Band ....2 years in a rows. that's the dilemma we face Grumpy. I can deal with that, some can't lol. cheers, Wiz
btw way now they have fused this with Bollywood film type music in a song called Shanti Shanti Shanti.....get your head around that one. brilliant riff, melodies and and arrangement. If that breaks in India for them , they will be literally performing to millions . ruclips.net/video/w5AlEavdipA/видео.html
I`ve been a metal fan for 20 years. I started with Linkin Park and later I discovered even more awesome bands ( aspecially those from Sweden , Norway , Finland ) but when I first heard this band I was skeptical I have to admit , but after I listen to their albums I was blown away by thier music because it`s different and also metal as hell and cute as a puppy at the same time. This band is the perfect blend of all genres and this is the reason maybe everyone loves them so much.
I respect your opinion but this is one of their best songs. Maybe Baby Metal is not your thing and it's ok.
Btw, DragonForce is not pop.
btw DragonForce is a pop music. Brutal death isn't pop, grindcore isn't pop, but power metal is meh :)
Dragonforce is worse than pop.
20,000 kitsunes singing "wowow" mostly in unison can't be wrong.
#notacult (giving you a like for honest reaction, and may the Fox God have mercy on your soul, LOL)
Always more BabyMetal forever! :)
"20,000 kitsunes singing "wowow" mostly in unison can't be wrong."
They can. For those who are not belonging to this unison. And it is OK.
@@andreyplatonov542 Blasphemer - Heretic. #notacult
Honestly, most react channels are just always on the "I like it hype train". It's refreshing hearing, that someone doesn't like it and tells us why.
I guess you have never heard of POWER METAL before, power metal is like this, very melodic, so it's not "poppy" well it is in some point but that's power metal. But that's the good thing about Babymetal, they have a song for each genre.
Kai Henrik bro. I know what power metal is. I just didn’t like THIS song. It’s not power metal to me. But either way. I appreciate that you appreciate this song. It’s all good.
ah, yeah, the old japanese music = anime music prejudice :) so... stupid honestly
Get offended by everything. Should work out for you eventually. Lol
Stop is OK Skip not OK You missed the opening, It is theater.dance, singing and metal. Try Rondo of Nightmare, Kami Band has been around for years. Their ability to sing and dance is incredible.. Or their work with Rob Halfordl I think American canned studio music is more your speed.
Don't bother reacting to anymore babymetal! You have you're opinion but babymetal are mental slash pop, some of their songs are more metal than other but at the end of the day they have a very pop sound to them which is what makes them different. If you don't like that then move on.
They're not called babymetal for nothing.
I just saw the like/dislike ratio on this, I hope it doesn't put you off from checking out more music from them.
Oh it fully did. But I’m coming back so hard. Lol. I’ll take all the shit. I’m honest. It is what it is.
Hey hurry up and tell Metallica (who toured with BabyMetal), and Halford/Judas Priest (who sang with SuMetal), and Rob Zombie (who praised them publicly) that they lack your insight.
I don't get why all that hate, it's baby metal and its not all metal based, just listen to doki doki morning and you will get it, if you want real heavy metal music you should look somewhere else, overall a great band with great music, but it's not for everyone, nice video 👍👍
You obviously don't get the whole point of Babymetal at all which I understand. It's very different and can be hard to grasp. It's common for people to be less than impressed the first time but start to understand it and appreciate it with more listens but since you appreciate it less on the second go-around it is apparent Babymetal is not for you. You have started mocking them for 'riding ponies' instead of seeing the obvious, riding horses into battle, and nit-picking them for being too poppy when they are a fusion of pop and metal so I don't see a point in you trying another song. I don't mean to criticize you for not liking them. It's not for everybody, I'm just suggesting you will be wasting your time if you try more videos.
because i dont like one song i dont understand the genre?! lol yall are making me laugh
@@TheGrumpyNerd I'm stating the obvious based on your own words. I'm not trashing you for not liking a song. Any creative, innovative band is going to have it's critics. If everyone liked them they aren't trying hard enough. I am criticizing for resorting to stupid comments to accent your disapproval. If you have reached that level it's safe to assume Babymetal is not for you so why bother continuing. That's not meant as trashing, just consider it advice. I don't give a thumbs down either.
So now that we know you're not a fan of speed or power metal, I can suggest a few songs you may actually enjoy. This performance is mostly the guitar work and the visual aspect. But if you want heavy shit, I got you.
Akatsuki - Live -- ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html
Death Legend 1997 (No this was not filmed in '97, it's the year the lead singer was born) (This is the most heavy, and its mostly an instrumental, with very minimal vocals, but its super heavy) -- ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html

Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro -- ruclips.net/video/QxYAcIyk2Co/видео.html
I would react to Death Legend 1997 first cuz I believe thats the heaviest of their popular songs, but any of these you can choose cuz they all heavy, much heavier than Road of Resistance. One last thought, if you don't like a song that's fine, but don't make the rest of us feel bad by saying it's a shit song, thats just rude. A simple, "this is my least favorite Babymetal song, it's just not my style" would have sufficed. No need to rip it a new one man. I'll be very interested in seeing which song you decide to do next, cheers!
Oh well, you gave it a go... but you missed the whole point of BabyMetal by a thousand miles.. Never mind, Babymetal isn't for everyone, you either get the concept, or you don't. This was still fairly early in their career, they are a lot older now and their music has turned even more heavy.. ,
Wow, lotta hate here.
Baby Metal is radical with a capital RAD. But he was bombarded with requests to watch this, and he did.
I guess most people didn't really want his take, just confirmation bias.
I like Baby Metal exactly as much after this video as before, and glad Grumpy did this video. People need to chill the fuck out.
U can keep dick riding all u want but at the end of the day this man judges music based on what he perceives as "metal" and can’t put that aside to find new facets of sounds that he may enjoy if he wasn’t so closed minded maybe if he put that aside he could enjoy this music bc it is metal it’s just that it’s a young Japanese female band so he automatically calls it pop even tho the kami band is shredding beyond imaginable in the back he still chooses to be close minded… respectfully never make a babymetal reaction if ur just going to constantly belittle this young talented group of young ladies who have bust their asses off since 8 yrs old. There’s a reason why ALOT of huge metal bands give them their flowers and why they are still relevant and huge in the metal scene to this day 😘🦊🤘
If he hates this... then he'd hate Dragonforce, you know.. since they more or less wrote it for BabyMetal.
Judging from his reaction though, i'd say he might enjoy 'Headbanger' and 'PaPaYa'
I was thinking Sis Anger
He would hate papaya bc it’s not too metal for his "standards" 😢😂
Its ok man, dont worry about it. Maybe babymetal pop-metal is not really ur stuff.
But if you still interest to check out their other stuff try : Rondo of nightmare, Death 1997 or Karate.
Btw #notacult
They have lots of different songs. Some are more poppy, some are touching the deathmetal genre, some even rap.
Maybe their songs called Death, Headbanger or Sis Anger (maybe their hardest one) be more to your liking :)
I remember the first time I listened to them, I was like "this is a wierd combo of genres" But it grew on me and now I like most of their songs. And I found a hidden treasure here the other day: Babymetal - Tamashi no Rufuran (anime cover) and god I love every aspect of it. Hard music, and so much emotion the vocals.
Ofc, if you're gonna react to more, live versions is the way to go im my opinion 🤘
Rondo of nightmare - more metal than this
All right, your opinion is yours, we all respect. But BabyMetal is this, there are many songs with different genre, there are more pop songs , more metal ones, more electro beats ones, etc.
If you wanna be technical, this is Kawaii-Metal.. not fully metal but BabyMetal slaps!!!
Ok, boomer.
I haven't read the comments in your other Babymetal video, so... This is Kawaiimetal (cute metal). Based on what little I know about you, I think you'd like Sis. Anger - it's about as heavy as Babymetal has gotten so far.
Well at least you where trueful but after watching the reaction again and reading the comments its hard to decide if you not just trolling the fans. It takes a lot to piss off BabyMetal fans but you managed it . I think it was the knowingly looking at the camera and saying like a cult gives it away as did a lot of your statements everything the fans hate being said and why riding a pony not a horse and we should of knew what was coming by the thumbnail " you asked for this " . PS #notacult
Riding a pony not a horse because of existence of cultural bond "cute little girls - ponies - unicorns", very common.
Andrey Platonov wrong
@@TheGrumpyNerd OK. It would be interesting to hear from you, which context leaded you to "ponies".
Their choreography is very similar to a popular dance commonly known as “ride the pony”, no big deal there
I didn't read too much into the comments and those I saw were ok, but I'm sorry if some people gave you grief over your reaction - the thing with Babymetal is the absurd range of musical styles they cover so it's quite normal that not everybody will take to that....I mean they are one of my favourite bands at the moment and I don't love everything either LOL
Maybe part of the negative reaction is down to context: Babymetal had to fight an uphill battle to be treated as a legit band and not just as a gimmicky fabricated jpop act with metal packaging (due in part to the fact they have their roots in the j-pop system), and still have to fight that battle to this day, and they've been around for almost 10 years now..... more than the fact that you didn't like it, my guess is your referring to RoR as essentially "poppy trash" (I'm paraphrasing) sounds a lot like the stuff said by metal "purists" who claimed that Babymetal was anathema and basically the death of metal and the worst band to ever exist (and I'm keeping it PG - the actual comments weren't)
This does *not* justify any abuse you may have been subjected to!!!!!! but context might explain some of the strong reactions (and then some people are just abusive ***holes and these exist in any fandom unfortunately)
Wo hoo .. you get very much dislike dude. This is the first time I've seen a RUclipsr react to Babymetal and get a lot of dislike. But don't worry Babymetal fans don't hate you, they are the most friendly metal fans in the world and they know that Babymetal is not for you..👌🤘
Everybody loves road of resistance but for your style you should have gone with "Karate"
Or "Distortion". Short and heavy.
thanks! I'll check it out for sure!
" one of the worst shits I have ever heard in this genre" seriously ? i guess most of the popular and legendary bands wont agree with u lol
When it comes down to it, if someone doesn't like a song, they don't like it. That's all there is to it. It might be disappointing, but it's not an insult. And even if it is disappointing, it's better to hear an honest opinion rather than one of those channels where every single song is apparently utterly amazing and there'll be a thumbnail with the reviewer in open-mouthed shock at how brilliant each track is.
Not liking the song is fine, but how is calling something the worst shit ever not an insult? I can't really think of a bigger insult. If my client has a bad idea and I tell him I don't like it, I don't think it will work, we should try something else (while still being totally honest) it will be fine, but if I tell him his idea is the worst shit I have ever heard, I have lost a client.
@@willemgreyling5857 You aren't a client. He doesn't need your business. OK, it perhaps wasn't polite, but I'm guessing most of those thumbs down were clicked long before that comment. It's a shame. I'm not a huge Babymetal fan, but this is one of my more favoured songs. I like the anthem-y feel to it, although I'm not so keen on the 1000mph drum beats and guitar playing. I'm more into Band-Maid, and he's made a few negative comments about bits of their songs too, but it's just somebody's taste. The challenge is to accept what someone doesn't like, and try to find something they do like. Or suggest Gimme Chocolate, just for laughs.
@@RevStickleback It probably depends on what any RUclipsr wants to get out of posting videos if he/she will see the viewers as clients/customers. Grumpy may just be doing it for fun. I love Band-Maid as well. I agree we need to accept when people dislike something, be it a song or a reaction.
Mario Martinez are you friends with the band? I didnt like the song bro. I’m not insulting the band. Lol. Even if I am. It’s my opinion.
Mario Martinez oh nooooo :(
3 years to late, but you're either a gate keeper or just don't get it.
Not liking a song or genre is one thing, but trolling is something else all together.
Shame RUclips removed the thumbs down count as I'd be interested in seeing the total now that I've added mine
*too
Thank you. Its good to know that as well as being a troll and the gate keeper of all things metal, you are also the grammar police@@TheGrumpyNerd
lol@@lefrog001
Everyone appreciates an honest reaction and dislikes fake praise. This reaction video, however, was about trolling the band then crying victim like a baby when he is called out on it.
Jeff Schreifels how did I troll. By not liking a song?
You’re feeding the narrative because I didn’t like ONE song. I was honest. I didnt like it at all. That’s not trolling. Sorry bub
@@TheGrumpyNerd read the comments. Not just mine. Your question has been answered multiple times already.
Jeff Schreifels never trolled. Was excited to hear the song everyone was spamming. Either way. I’m bored of defending not liking a song to a few butthurt people.
@@TheGrumpyNerd you're the one that jumped on me because I didn't validate your opinion. Sorry if i hurt your little feelings.
Dude, I don't think Babymetal is your taste in music, I have a recommendation for a band that suits your taste in music and your life.
"NIKLEBACK"
because it matches your taste in music
😂😂🖕🏻😂😂 solid comment bro. Appreciate it.
I don't feel pop here, actually. For me it's more metal, than other songs. Thanks for reacting. Take care about yourself
It's metal, but is bland for his taste. He may prefer weird stuff like CMIYC (shred, heavy riffs or breakdowns and the girls doing weirds moves) instead of classic power or metal ballads.
Facundo Gotmand
CMIYC is my fav song tbh :)
@@facundogotmand8368 doesnt power eitheir tho
Wow just wow they had help from dragonforce in this, next time you might wanna research the song as they do some colab type work once in a while
why does that matter? I dont like a song...do you love every song ever made? nah. chill
@@TheGrumpyNerd congrats, you just earned an unsub, give constructive criticism and you tell me to chill nice, bye
Sakura Kinomoto bye
@@TheGrumpyNerd oh no. An unsub. Whatever well you do lol
BABYMETAL is a cult...and a hell of a lot of their fans (The One, as they're known, which grates grammatically being used as a plural, but I get the sentiment) won't hear a single negative word against them. Well, fuck that shit. I love them - and I'm a 58 year old Rock, Metal and Techno fan who's seen Sabbath, Zep, Floyd, Zappa, Neil Young, Underworld and a thousand other bands - but I don't expect everyone to enjoy them in the same way. Or at all. I can see from your continual nodding that the music appeals but I get why you don't like the vocals so much. Not sure why watching the girls isn't a joy for you too but personally I find watching them better than some bloke who isn't a tenth as appealing on the eyes. Same for the vocals. I like the incongruity of Su's sweet vocals over the usual growling and yelling of Metal. I also enjoy the whole cognitive dissonance that you get from trying to take in their look and sound while listening to most excellent Metal. For a really solidAF Japanese Rock sound, especially live, I'd have to recommend Band Maid. Anyway, hope you keep on reacting and fuck the haters because they could have just moved on. I'd have to say that Headbanger is surely a Babymetal song that you'd enjoy. Maybe.
ruclips.net/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/видео.html Headbanger at Budokan Red Night
You don't like it, no problem. At least you point their goods in your opinion and didn't blindly hating on them. I got a feeling you might love "Rondo Of Nightmare". Please give them a try. 🤟😊
Rondo of Nightmare WITH the Mischiefs of God intro.
sorry, bro
but if this is pop, dragon force through the fires and flames is pop too
i'm sorry for you being a victim to stereotype stuff
i dont support all the hate and the dislikes here, but at the same time it seems like you started listening with already closed mindset.
Dragonforce is shit, is not representative of what metal stands for.
You seem to like more chuggy metal, and so do I, but power metal is a thing and this song is exactly that. Dragonforce also wrote parts of the song if you didn't know. That comment on the song not being metal but just "speedy pop" kinda got to me cause it's quite ignorant of you. I assume that comment is why people hated this video so much. I'm also gonna assume you were speaking whatever came to mind at the time cause it is an immediate reaction after all. I don't care that it's choppy cause you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the vid up, and the rest is just your opinion and it's okay not to like the song or the band.
I think that's a fair enough assessment of the video, right?
When you said that they were like being satanic when they were coming out. my impression has always been that they were marshaling forces for the epic ride to vanquish a foe.
For him to call it popsy just shows he did not do any research in to Babymetal and the story behind them, 3 young girls that pioneered a new music genre! I repeat (3 young girls) by the age of 14 they had albums and in 2014 rocked Sonispere with real metal heads! they have now done several world tours and are loved all over the world, their music always gives a positive message and Su has been voted one of the best metal voices of all time, they do shows to entertain the fans and not themselves, they have already been going for 14 years and just released another new album.
Well, the "love it or hate it" thing it's just like seeing things black or white... remember there are a whole range of shades of grey in between. After your reaction to "Catch Me If You Can" (my dear dear song) I would be another one shouting "You GOT TO react to Road Of Resistance Live in Japan!!!!" because this is one of the most impressive moments that are available out there and the crowd is so so awesome that it's a must. But Babymetal has a lot more impressive moments, great awesome entertainment moments. So I get it if you don't like the music that much (I for one am with you in the I-like-the-previous-one-better ... me too, I elected "Catch me" as my number one song from BM) ...
Nevertheless, I love this song and I love the whole thing, the music, the crowd, the dancing, everything!! And I really don't care much for what is "metal" and what is not, like there is some kind of standard way of being "metal" (that's actually my only negative point about this reaction... "riding the pony is not metal") ... I still remember to listen to Motorhead and Venom and the Saxon/Maiden/Priest fans saying that Motorhead and Venom are too noisy, too punk! Thats not Metal! ... so, things change, for me Babymetal is one of a kind, maybe others will follow, but I really doubt it, (knowing how this whole thing begun and how it evolved ) I think they will always have a unique legacy and I consider myself very fortunate to have been curious enough about a band called "Babymetal" and check out "Catch Me" and been blown away. I really love that first album. The second (where RoR is from) is awesome as well and there are millions of people that don't like it, that's fine, there are some more who like it a bit, others really like this song but not the others, others hate it... that's just fine. Relax! Babymetal can't be for eeeeeeveryone, nor Slayer, nor Dark Throne, nor AC/DC, nor Justin Beaver :-P ,,, Thumbs up for this reaction. I differ in opinion but I'm glad to ear some "whys" someone else don't go for this...
this is probably the first babymetal reaction video I've seen that has more dislikes than likes. Not sure if that's an achievement to have on your checklist.
I wear it with pride!
@@TheGrumpyNerd but is weird there are a lot bad reactions of babymetal but any of that videos has more dislikes than likes, maybe you put too much attention to the comments and thats why the hate
I guess I get it why you call yourself Grumpy
Dude. You should check out their song. Babymetal-death(legend 1997) #notacult
Power metal is still metal my guy, and calling a guitar riff written by freaking dragonforce not metal? Come on, you can not like babymetal just say that, but it sounds like you don't really understand metal and it's sub genre's
Everyone’s got their own opinion. Imo I don’t think babymetal is your cup of tea but more so Band Maid and their style of rock. As Su describes that they play “Kawaii Metal” which you can assume has a lot of pop in their metal music.
Don't fly off the handle and curse people out for leaving a civil comment while playing the victim card against the entire fan-base.
What a hypocrite.
Yuibot 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yuibot y’all are insane. You can’t trash someone then get butthurt when I defend myself. Y’all are playing the victim card to a ridiculous extent. You throw out insults. Say I dont know music. I’m full of shit. I don’t know shit. Etc etc. then I talk shit back and y’all are all victims and cry.
Read through the comments. I’m not directing anything at a “fan base” I’m directing them to people who are being dicks. Over a song. Grow up
Viking Ezekiel no. That’s not the case. And you’re the one going in every comment and adding more fuel. So I dont really care what you think. Lol. You do you bro.
Viking Ezekiel and tbh. I’m so over this video and it’s whiny comments. I’ve already moved on. Y’all should too
I had to watch about 100 reaction videos to find someone like you who does not like their productions. Thanks for being honest. I was thinking there is a conspiracy going on because EVERYBODY liked them so far. Now I know that diversity and different tastes still exist. 😀 Now, how can you not like this? 😆
At least you are honest. No 2 of their songs sound alike though. Dragonforce helped them with the instuments, and while I love speed rock it is definitely not heavy.
Ok, humm, well, I'm guessing you are more of a Black Babymetal kinda guy. So, 'Sis Anger' might be more up your alley. Or, Suzukas solo about a reoccurring dream being chased by a faceless horror begging it to reveal itself just once before she dies - Rondo of Nightmare. Or something way more technical - 'Tales of the Destinies'.
Those would be my suggestions for you.
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
First he compares Dragonforce guitar sound to Judas Priest, then he says "that's not metal" just because he sees girls dancing. @The Grumpy Nerd you are 100% tone deaf. It has nothing to do with BABYMETAL. You're simply embarrassing yourself.
Go watch all the fake reactors that aren’t honest and fluff your band for you over and over. Keep yourself in that echo chamber homie. I’m over here being honest. Ain’t no one embarrassing but your dumb ass.
@@TheGrumpyNerd It has nothing to do with this band, it's perfectly fine to not like every band. But saying that it sounds like Judas Priests while literally listening to Dragonforce riffs is an obvious sign that your opinion about music bears very little significance. If anything, your comments irritated me as a Judas Priest fan and a metal fan in general.
I just can't figure out how you get to judas priest? Lol
@@TheGrumpyNerd dont pay attention to this people for me was an intersting reaction, but im babymetal fan and i do understand why some people get angry (it's one of the most popular babymetal songs) but it's still weird i've seen worst reactions of babymetal and the community was tolerant recommending another songs, its the only babymetal video where ive seen the fandom so angry, mmmmm maybe cuz babymetal fans get angry when you say that babymetal itsn't metal, its a big insult for us
If you want a song where Moa and Yui actually sing more lyrics (outside of their Duo songs in Black Babymetal) you might wanna check out Meta Taro. It's a viking metal baseball hymn lol but I absolutely love it.
When you like something, doesn't mean everybody has to like it too. If someone dislike your thing, just let them be. It just not meant for them. No need to force them to like it. They might have an opinion about it, whether you like it or not, but thats make it human. Try to be open minded guys. TheGrumpyNerd just trying to be open by trying people's recommendation, but unfortunately he found that it was not his cup of tea, and it's totally fine.
The hating doesn't help any bands to get more people to support them because sometime they just need more time to get into it. With the hating, they will just close the door straight to any possibilities. So guys, calm down.
So, about BABYMETAL. They describe their music themself as Cute Metal, so thats why you still can found bits of "poppy" to most of their musics. They were trying to make metal music could be enjoyed by not just metal heads but kids, teenager and other ordinary people. As they embark on their journey, they found that metal music might not be for everyone, so they want to introduce people to metal genre with their music as a gateway. Kinda like make metal pills more easier to swallow. It is still not for everbody's taste though.
Fun fact: BABYMETAL song "Catch me if you can" on your previous video is a song talking about hide-and-seek game. So, lyrically it still have the cute aspect to it.
For me, BABYMETAL's music really broaden my taste buds. I've never imagine myself exploring german's party-metal-core band like Electric Callboy, or even Thailand's hip hop artist like F.HERO if not by their collaboration with BABYMETAL.
I hope someday, when you are looking for something "unique", you will find something amongs BABYMETAL tracks menu that will suits you. 🦊
I was worried because in the last Babymetal reaction you didn't seem all that grumpy. LOL
Unfortunately, we fans tend to recommend songs without much regard to the reactor. Still, I would have thought you would have liked this better than you did. But, given your comments on why, I believe I understand better. Regarding other recommendations I am seeing: While Karate and Distortion both have heavier backing than you have heard with either of these last two, they might still have too much of a pop thing in them for you to like. And In The Name Of and Babymetal Death are quite heavy and without pop elements, they are repetitive and meant as hype the crowd openers. As for Headbanger, again too much pop elements. And maybe the same for Megitsune despite a truly heavy (but short) breakdown. Amore is a great song, but it is very much Kawaii Metal even if a bit less pop, but the arrangement suffers from not having the just the right sound mix on most videos.
I'm thinking the song which might work would be Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro) live Budokan Black Night 2014.
If you are in to Prog-metal then Tales Of the Destinies is definitely worth a shot.
Everything else will have that alchemy of J-pop Idol infused into metal in varying alloys. Because that is what they do.
I appreciate that you appreciate their ability/talent/whatever and are not trashing them even if not liking their music.
If you give them another try, I will definitely give it a view.
John Schultz very well thought out and decent comment. Appreciate you
@@TheGrumpyNerd I agree, but be careful! The comment came from one of those "rabid" fans...
No rain no rainbow 2018 live. Power ballad
BabyMetal Death, Legend 97 live 2013. Brutal
Megitsune official, even with no guitar solos, is quintessential.
Ijime, dame, zettai live 2014 captures the moment they went from RUclips hit to worldwide force. Great guitars.
Both great songs from just when they went major label 2yrs after starting, ages 13,13,15 Jan 2013, 1 yr before gimme chocolate. (2014 live they were 15,15,16). Both of these & many of their songs (akatsuki, rondo...) are worth checking lyrics, seriously.
This site has translations of every interview, dvd interlude, etc for the first 6-7yrs (2albums, ~6-10 dvds). His great cultural notes help a lot. du-metal.blogspot.com/2013/07/megitsune.html?m=1
I forgot Karate, good chance you’ll like that groove
And syncopation is just a solid rock song with some djent, some core, but also some 80s and lyrics that are still poetic even after translation. Coupla compilations of live, Tokyo dome dvd is best. Maybe this fan edit ruclips.net/video/hroQj71AO7s/видео.html
all of their songs are going to have a pop vibe, cuz that's what they do, but my favorite song by them is "Ijime, Dame, Zettai"
Ignore all this hate man. Keep doing what you're doing. I love Babymetal and I respect your opinion. Some people can't understand that everyone has a different taste. Hope this won't stop you checking more of their song. Maybe try their "heavier" track such as Death, Karate, Headbanger. The poppish will still be there since it's their trademark.
"Not really that metal", proceeds to headbanging trought the entire reaction video LMAO.
This guy is such a troll.
Rondo of nightmare with the Mischief of God Intro next!
I appreciate the honesty, good on you for giving it a shot. BUT, if you didn't like this performance (and tbh. I don't quite understand the "too poppy" comment) then perhaps Babymetal simply isn't for you. 3 teenagers at that age absolutely commanding a crowd like that is the most metal thing ever. Again, I like your honesty. But I can't see myself enjoying any of your future BM reactions if you "hated" this one.
It's not pop, it's kawaymetal or moa metal, if you don't like I can understand it, but don't compare it with pop because it isn't. And please don't skip videos you skip the intro and the choruses, it's by far the worst reaction video I've ever seen, and I've ever seen hundred.
I'd rather have an honest reaction, than a sugar coated one...and that is what we got. They do cover alot of turf, musically, personally, I think you would enjoy "AMORE" vimeo.com/354502271. This was from the 2016 show at Wembley in the UK. It is a Su Metal solo (the lead singer) with a straight rocking tune.
Appreciate you
Musically I'm not a big fan of RoR either, but BABYMETAL, in my opinion, is mostly a 'musical theatre' show, with more than their fair share of good songs in their own right ... so while personally I too would press skip on RoR on a CD, but if you watch the video and appreciate it for what it is, then it becomes a much better performance ... but even if you did look at it as a whole 'performance' and still didn't like the song, so what? People like what they like, I'm not going to get pissed if someone doesn't like a song. At least you're not the usual BABYMETAL critic, a close-minded self-described 'metal-head' that sees a BABYMETAL thumbnail and just assumes they are a fake and a gimmick, and/or calling their fans 'pedos', etc.
Leave the music critic to the professionals.
Anyone who knows anything about "metal" would recognise the Dragon Force elements in this song.
Seeing as it was co-wrote by them.
Steven Kirk am I a professional critic?! Lol. I’m reacting to a song on youtube. I dont care who co wrote it. Produced it. Whatever. I dont like the song dude. Jesus fucking Christ this shit is getting ridiculous
It looks like you had a bad day when you recorded this huh? Chin up, it's 2020. Fresh start.
KevvyLava because i didn’t like a song?! Nah I’m good homie. Thanks though. I should rename the video to “fans whiny overreaction”
@@TheGrumpyNerd You might not be a professional critic but like lots of chancers on RUclips your setting yourself up like one, get a mike and a camera and stick some random squares of foam profile on your walls. 😂😂😂😂😂
Steven Kirk and you watched my video. And got riled up and talked shit. So I guess I win
I think you remind me important thing that I hardly listen their CD repeatedly, however I once attend their live since then I have joined their live 7 times so far and will go in the future as well. what’s that? :)
Probably, for me, because it is very PLEASANT, ENJOYABLE and ENERGETIC :)
thank you!
fly high glad you like them. I didnt like one song. Apparently it’s the end of the world here. Lol. Other stuff i heard was cool.
Thank you! and Happy new year!
Just not for you I get it. Respect it. See you.
Try Ijime, Dame, Zettai - Live Sonisphere 2014.
The start of everything. 1st huge concert abroad. Planned on a small scene then put on the huge one. Terrified to play in front of real Bristish Metalheads (some were announcing to throw bottle of piss to the "pop band"), technical problems at the start ...and then ...
Should have gone with babymetal death and watched the reaction to the live crucifixion 😂
Listen to Babymetal Death. Only the band practically plays and the dont sing. Just metal
This song was co written with a band called Dragonforce so its very much Dragonforces style which is speed metal. If you love the heavier side try the Babymetal song called Rondo of Nightmare, it's very heavy and it's a solo song with just the lead singer Su, the 2 dancers/back up singer's Yui and Moa are not part of that song. So please try that one, I think you'll enjoy it a lot more!
I LOVE Babymetal if it wasn't for the band I would have never discovered the tons of Female Japanese metal bands! I listen to several pretty much all I listen to. I like watching the react vids because when I first saw them I got goosebumps! You need to check out LADYBABY " 破天ニ雷鳴 - HATEN NI RAIMEI first then some of their really strange early stuff.
Super poppy is what makes this band... And, it's not bad to me. Personal preference
Thank you for your honest reaction.
I like this song, but I understand some of your opinions and this is not even one of my top 10 favorites in BABYMETAL's songs.
A person's tastes should be respected completely individually.
At least you had the option of not posting the video, but you honestly edited and posted the video for this song that you aren't so interested in.
Why are there so many dislikes? That's a shame and not fair.
Anyway,Thank you very much.
YUI (one of the two little dancers) loved this 'Road of Resistance'.
(she sadly away from BABYMETAL because of illness 2018)
According Japanese magazine that I read before, YUI definitely wanted to perform the Road of Resistance in the UK(overseas) for the FIRST TIME in the world. not at Japan.
I don't know how much her wishes influenced the decision, but in fact 'Road of Resistance' was the first public release in the UK November 2014 in the world.
It may have been a special thing because YUI is shy and doesn't actively give her opinion.
I think she was as grateful as or better than Japan to the UK (overseas) fans who warmly accepted them.
In fact, Sonisphere Festival July 2014 at UK has been a huge turning point in BABYMETAL's history and gave them conffidence.
The 'Road of Resistace' you saw is a live performance in Japan about half a year after the first performance at LONDON.
Apart from the evaluation of the music itself, I like this song including these stories .
I like your honest reaction even if I disagree, so I'd be happy if you could pick up BABYMETAL again someday.
My favorite part of watching reactions to this song is always the mosh pit moment and when the crowd starts singing along. Besides that, I'm sorry this didn't strike the right cord with you, but it was neat to hear your analysis anyway! Not everyone likes everything, and I didn't think you were disrespectful in the reasoning you gave or the way you presented your opinions. It's pretty sucky that folks have disliked this so much, but like... a reaction is a person's reaction to a thing, good OR bad. Do I want everyone to enjoy the things I like (this song included)? Yes. Do I expect everyone is going to and get butthurt when they don't? Absolutely not.
You might like the instrumentals more on Karate (one I love to see folks react to also) or Gimme Chocolate, but I think the vocals on those aren't going to be your jam either. I think you'll enjoy Rondo of Nightmare, but you have to listen to the version with the Mischief of Gods intro. Pa Pa Ya brings in another vocalist (F.Hero) and is a little bit of another genre mix you might find interesting also.
I mean the thing with Babymetal is the range. This more power metal/speed metal-side of Babymetal produces a lot of my favorite songs: Akatsuki, Road of Resistance, Ijime Dame Zettai, Amore, etc.
See to me Road of Resistance is much more metal than Catch Me If You Can and CMIYC was never one my favorite songs.
Since I don't exactly know what style of metal you like, I don't know what to suggest, but I'm sure there's something in the Babymetal-catalog for you.
If you're more into Prog Tales of the Destinies is a Dream Theater hommage. If you like djenty riffs Starlight is one of my overall favorite songs. If it's Viking metal they got Oh! MAJINAI and Meta Taro (I don't like Meta Taro). If it's more about heavy groovy riffs maybe Karate or Kagerou.
But hey. Babymetal isn't for everyone. I totally get that.
You need to get some joy in your life mate. It’s entertainment. It’s so much fun. Are you saying you wouldn’t want to be in that crowd?
As a fucking metal head, I love Babymetal a lot too. And this song is good to me. But the taste is different from person to person. So I can understand you man.
Just checkout this, hope you would find it better :
BABYMETAL - Rondo Of Nightmare (With Mischiefs of God Intro) Live Budokan Black Night
I love me some Baby Metal but I agree with you that the crowds are half the fun. I've been reading up on J-Rock and one of the things that make it unique is that call and response is a part of their culture and it is natural to include it their music which makes it fun.
Gotta try Rondo of Nightmare mate! I genuinely think you will like it the best of all Babymetal
But with the "Mischief of Gods" Intro at Black Budokan Night ... Thats the Dope-Go-To
