Thanks for the shout out, and thanks for doing a video on the power trio. Your jaw drop during it was similar to mine. Imagine me watching that the first day I got introduced to the band. Yeah. That started the addiction. And MISA taking a bass, and running across the stage to go toe to toe with one of the greatest lead guitarists made her my instant hero. :-)
This is not unique, they have a lot of "mini live jams" as variations on the original studio songs ... the 2020 versions of "Domination" and "Freedom" are just a couple of examples. PS: I think Miku sometimes uses a voice harmonizer, and Kanami rarely uses it too.
Froggy backing vocals provided by Miku! She uses 2 different voices for this, but I think she uses 3 during Choose Me. Miku’s range is impressive, the Po is strong in that one.💪🏻🤘🏻
Why do I love Band-Maid ? Here's the answer. Not only the skills which many musicians can play, but also the creative, feeling and emotional match only Band-Maid now.
I am so glad you got to do this version of don't you tell me! When do you ever see that happen in music these days. So incredible! Awesome reaction Wave!!!!
Another fantastic breakdown! I loved the way you talked about Kanami's choice of notes at 3:21. As a non-musician I couldn't have explained it, but that kind of thing is a big part of why I love the band so much. Their songs are just packed full of brilliant, unexpected moments like this.
OMG my fave song. Akane might do 220bpm on "Black Hole" but she did 250bpm on her chest in full gorilla mode when she heard MISA & Kanami's Bass/Lead conversation :)
Totally agree, Bandmaid Prime is great. Not only do they have those awesome full concerts, but also the videos focusing on each individual playing her part in a ton of songs.
@@Glenner7 I know. I still hear things after hundreds of listens to a song, too -- like Miku's singing with her unique vocal accents and close harmonies. Or Kanami's verse riffing around the drums and Saiki's melodies. Or MISA's independant counter riffing while incorporating a little bit of what everybody else is doing. (She's very busy. No wonder she doesn't smile much because of all that concentration). And of course Akane continues to amaze me because I'm always hearing new things from her. This is why their songs continue to grow on me after all these years. Like I've said before: Band-Maid writes and performs the most dense yet beautifully integrated hard rock music in history.
MISA MISA MISA! you should get a lot of love for this re-action/review as the most common complaint is nobody pays attention to what A-chan is doing during the instrumental conversation you not only noticed you admired
Yes, I still well up when everyones hands raise after the battle. Never fails. The triumvirate is soooooo great, sometimes it defies reality. The attributes of this band are unequaled. The synergy and uniqueness, the transitions/breakdowns, the riffs, the power, the rhythm section, the harmonies, the vocals just flow perfectly and smoothly, and always a fun vibe. They do not fail. Ever. Peace.
So superbly written-this band affects me so strongly as well that I can't stop praising their genius either. And that is what it is...genius at defying reality-I like that, a perfect description of them!
@@Marcus_C51 Thanks buddy. I could write about Band-Maid all day. Except there is only so many superlatives that are available for use. Looks like I may have to start making some up. To me they are just unrivaled and will not be dethroned anytime soon.
OMG ! Congratulations on watching the call and response without pausing !! and yes Akane's drumming during this part is superb and so well thought out. Looks like Kanami and Misa both go to her afterwards to say thanks maybe ? The Zepp Tokyo concert is still my favourite and I know how much trouble you had to go to to edit this from that so you sir are now a true Maidiac !!
Kamami’s power stances and body language onstage are already enough for me to be her fan for life, add in that workaholic genius and eccentric personality, and I’m pretty much obsessively doomed to my grave and beyond 😅
I have to say I completely understand where you're coming from, I've rarely been this obsessed with a band. When she gets into her swaying and weaving you know it's on-she is in the zen zone. Then she gets into her rock goddess power stances--ooh yeah! And she is most definitely a total genius muso who has captivated my heart as well. But, in essence, they all have. I guess we could think of worse ways to be doomed to our graves and beyond, eh?
@@nussekuddenxxx6564 Yep if wave could find "Don't You Tell Me" live, i'm pretty sure with a bit of digging "Take Me Higher" is out there. Maybe on Bilibili :)
The words that SAIKI said in Japanese at the beginning... "Sa, ZEPP no koe wa madamada dekaku naru kana ?" 「さあ、ZEPPの声はまだまだデカくなるかな？」 ( Now, can you give more aggressive cheers to us ? ) "Kakatte kinasai !" 「かかってきなさい！」 ( Just bring it ! )
That backtrack harmonizing is actually Miku Live doing low pitch voice. She does it in almost every song. Sometimes you think you're not hearing her but she's harmonizing with her Low pitch. And very good at it. As Saiki said " Pigeon, knows many talents and tricks
I love your reactions/breakdowns you notice so much not noticed by others. you are one of the only reactors to this version by noticing the importance of Akane during the battle. her drumming there made me think of Nick Mason of Pink Floyd who supported Waters, Gilmour in similar fashion during many solos. that segment to me is one of the great moments in rock live performances. Now for fun check out the MV of Don't You Tell ME for the fun-ness of it, it covers all the Band-Maid quirks Saiki's aloofness, Kanami swooning for Saiki, Akane eating everything in sight, MISA drinking and the mischievous nature of our pigeon queen Miku. plus the rock stereotype of trashing the place. they cover it all lol
Good observation, it DOES sound a bit like Mason's work with Floyd. There was an old Fillmore West show that had extensive jamming where it was a similar groove. Don't ask me which one-ha ha--it's been awhile.
It's worth watching the official MV for this on their site, even if not as a reaction. Not only is it a really interesting MV with a bit of a story to it, but it's perhaps the only one that really shows the distincitive personalities of each member. It doesn't have the back and forth solos though. That was just something added for one tour. They mix things up and add new intros and extended pieces for a number of songs on each tour. There is a similar back and forth at a live performance of "Take Me Higher", but that clip is sadly also difficult to find.
Sometimes, i imagine myself in the crowd during this unique moment of perfection. Sometimes i dream to stand in front of Kanami sensei, this shy and humble girl on the life, and see her transforming into a rock Monster, delivering badass riffs and gorgeous solos. For me this song, and particulary the part with Misa responding to Mincho guitare (with the essential support of Akane) is a delight for each rock lover in this crazy world. Theses girls deserve Rock and roll All of Fame one Day. Peace and thank you for your work 💖
I'm late to the party here, stumbled upon this...from 6:15 to 7:40, this is PURE GOLD! I played it at least 50 times already....and does anyone know where I can find some pics of 7:40? Thanks.
Great Job Wave! Your reaction videos have always been good but they are also improving. You have found a level of great comfort in the format(s) and style(s) that you have progressed into, which makes you more relaxed and less nervous. Also your continually growing amazement to the new music you have, and are, discovering comes across in your honest and sincere reactions. You are a BA Reactionist/Reactor!
For the 2018 World Domination Tour in November (USA and Europe), Kanami ramped up the difficulty a bit for the middle section, and MISA bravely kept up, as documented on several fancams.
Yeah, I'd have to say it's mine as well-they were on a different level altogether that night! Of course they just uploaded part 1 on the Prime part of the site but I'd like to see a re-release of the concert in a velvet lined, gold embossed box with an autographed official program!
@@Marcus_C51 I also hope Band-Maid could do collaborations with other bands in other countries like Linkin Park. Although, they have no plan to collab with other band. But, I still waiting their collab with Herman Li
Wave, Yes - the trio of Akane, Misa & Kanami are exceptional. I can’t say enough about their talents as they share so many characteristics with my musical heroes like Lee, Lifeson & Peart - the Holy Triumvirate, Rush - and even with Bonham, Jones & Page. They are truly fabulous AND only getting better as the continue growing together. Love it!! 🤘🏼
@@razor1uk610 Body language I’d definitely agree. Slash is an excellent rock guitarist who I should probably listen to more and credit more but I’d grew up in the 60’s & 70’s and been immersed in the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck, Howe & Lifeson for many years by that time so I probably didn’t give GNR & Slash the depth of listen I should have - just heard the hits. I’ve heard a song or two from his work in his other projects and that’s always impressed me. I don’t think he’s had the opportunity to expand his range to the degree that Lifeson, Howe or Beck have, for instance, into longer Prog-Rock pieces where they can invoke a wider range of influence and variation in their playing but I’m sure he’d shine in that format. Same with EVH - could you imagine what Eddie could do in a long proggy piece of music - would have been very cool - and heard rumors that he had some tasty morsels in his personal recordings - hope it’s true and we get to hear those someday. Love to be in the room while Kanami is creating, for sure. 🤘🏼🎸
This is a much overlooked track review wise. I haven't seen it for ages and forgotten how good it was. There are a few versions , but this awesome gtr/bass battle is the best one by far. And Akane does genius time changes throughout the song to give it the dynamics it requires to open up as you said. Such a wonderful live band. There is a lot of bands chasing this level , but no one is getting close .
WAVE--what a cool reaction to this tour de force version of the song! And I've noticed what a springboard for discussion this thread is for us Maidiacs! Your analysis is spot on, good point on Miku's rhythm guitar skills, I'm a guitarist myself and yes, she's got to be focused to play her parts in these compositions. Lots of intricate changes and yeah, those rests! And Kanami, all of those different parts that she plays, the muted arpeggios are so effective on this. She rarely takes any time off, has to be one of the hardest working guitarists around-and alot of these fills and parts can be difficult. I, too, marvel at the precision she plays with, all those glissando slides on parts, I remember thinking on a different song, wow, she could make this section alot easier for herself if she didn't do that, but then it wouldn't have the effect musically that she's looking for. Good point on the halftime section in the chorus, it IS awesome, they do that kind of thing so much. Positively brilliant. And another thing I love about Kanami is how in between her incendiary blitzing single line tremolo and hammer on riffs she'll throw in that raucous early 70's dirty double stop bend ala Chuck Berry and grind on it! Anyway, appreciate your reaction, I tend to not analyze them too much and let their musical excellence blow through me but it's cool to hear some. But I didn't even mention MISA MISA and Akane, I could wax poetic about them for days but won't--the best rhythm section working today? -----I think so! Cheers!
Oh man... because of the way the request was titled (which I understand now), I wasn't sure if it was going to be the performance from Zepp... but I'm so glad it was. This performance of this song is mind-blowingly awesome. In the concert, this song is immediately followed by Daydreaming. :P I can't wait until you get enough reactions under your belt so that you can actually watch a concert. Good job as always.
Your stunned expression said it all. I don't know any band since Rush that would even try this sort of thing. This used to be up on youtube, too bad it isn't there any more.
On your comments about Miku's playing ability, how much do you think that can be attributed to learning from Kanami to play that specifically? Instead of most people, that start picking up guitar to play cool leads and solos, Miku went straight to rhythm
You've got to do Turn Me On, they play it right before this song. It's an incredible performance with some nice instrumentals too. Also if you can find Take Me Higher live performance, that one is amazing too.
Love the song, love the review and comments. True, true, they are all genius in what they are doing in service to the song and the band. It's hard to stay with a "favorite" in the band because each member will shine at any time in any song and it always works. Especially now that they are totally in charge of their own music.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 my all time #1 version Band-Maid song. The "conversation " between Misa and Kanami is awesome with Kanami moving those 2 along. I was so fortunate to see this Live here in LA at the Lodge. Many of us were disappointed the next year when B-M played this song and the "conversation " did not happen. But that was the Maids keep their concerts different. 🙂
Hey man--yes, so cool to see this Zepp footage on YT, so powerful and dynamic, along with the subtle work by Akane in the conversation. It'd been awhile since I'd seen this-over a week (ha ha) and it never fails to blow me away! So did you see the Splendour show? It was way too short for my tastes (they barely had time to warm up when they taped it) but it is what it is. Hopefully we got some more fans onboard. Very cool reaction by Wave too, I admit it--I just love seeing others totally digging what Band Maid does! 😃😎
Yes, it's got sort of a tribal feel with some jazz textures too...brilliant. Her cymbal work in general is beyond belief--along with everything else she plays!
Well, I think 'battle of the goddesses' is an excellent description for this performance. And thank you for mentioning Akane during the duel, because for me she is very much a part of this battle as well. 🤘🏻🔥 【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 】🕊️
This is a video of the girls at their training camp for the 2019 tour. You can see how serious Kanami is, how Akane gives her drum names and having just General fun ruclips.net/video/eNl9LsIquAI/видео.html
More attention should be given to Akane's drum fills in the back, providing good musical accompaniment without clashing and standing out to the bass and guitar, but also not being just a repetitive "Rythm machine". Although her contribution is very important, she keeps it discreet that normally you won't notice her. If it was another typical rock band, the drummer would be also demanding a drum solo in the song. Another thing about the dual solo is that it's not a "noodling show off" of egos, but more an extension of the song creating a unique mood and atmosphere at a live show.
What I love about those sudden ending is that you always hear the snare fading away. Also, that was an epic call and response solo between MISA and Kanami with the perfectly placed magical drum fills of Akane.
What impress me is that in my opinion the trio's intrumental breakdown was improvised so that Saiki could recover her voice a bit. poor Saiki needed a break for sure.
Check out the props MISA and Kanami give Akane after their "duel". It goes by really fast but there is a quick shot from behind Achi of both girls giving her some love. Thank you for giving her some attention as many reactors only see the two guitarist and fail to hear Achi's set ups. And thank you for holding a torch for these brilliant girls. I hope some day they are able to personally thank you for all you do for them.
Speaking of power trios, let these 3 young ladies blow you mind. 【Accént】"Don't you tell ME" [BAND-MAID cover] ruclips.net/video/BbEYc2yY2s4/видео.html [Fumi, @10: Drums] [Canon, @11: Guitar] [Haru, @10: Bass]
I'm completely floored by how superb this was! How is it even possible to be this good at such a young age? It does help to have a Marshall and a PRS though! (ha ha) And the drummer had some of Akane's fills pretty close. Great work on the bass too...I wonder if Band Maid has seen it...
I really appreciate your ability to hear what the musicians are doing. You frequently mention triplet fills and no matter how hard I try I can't pick it up during a performance. I did a search on triplet fills so I sort of know what's going on but can you explain what's happening with triplets and quadruples. So, please, keep on identifying the techniques the drummer using and maybe roll back to focus on just the bit we should hear. Does this makes sense? I'm kind of babbling.
It really says something that even musicians kinda need not just another musician to point out things the band's doing that they haven't noticed yet, but preferably five or six others to catch everything. Or at least 95%.
Miku is definitely my fave. Look at the MV for Thrill. She was just a very kawaii guitar stand. Now she can play rhythm quite competently and it just a matter of time until she is shredding. Kanami is her teacher and I could not think of a better one for her. Thank you for your insights.
WTH! lol. Thats my copy I posted to the fan group! How do I know? That's my Band-Maid branding on the intro, outro! lol It's all good, but I was not expecting that haha. I usually block sharing, saving, but that one must have slipped through. NOTE: Wave did NOT strip that video. The channel on the site must have. No harm and Im not all all upset. More amused than anything.
@@GaryHolloway-810 haha. Wave didnt strip it, the channel on that site did apparently. It's fine, but I was "wait, what, I recognize that watermark! " haha original post facebook.com/RobertWolfRobinson/videos/3859963090691080
Miku has never played one note on any CD released to date. That has all been done by Kanami. Miku has been strumming chords live for sometime now. But as yet not on any recording. With the exception of the instrumental versions released with the premium CD package of Unseen World. Those are the very first recordings of Miku playing. With the next CD you will hear Miku for the very first time prerecorded.
Ahhhh! Davie504 "could not find a better video" than just very simple MISA's moment from a US fancam! Wave, you have to point him to something real 🤦♂️
I was like “WHAT?!?! There’s so many great moments!” Kinda glossed over such an epic bassist! But I get it. It takes a lot of time to make a video like this. But still! It’s MISA!
I've shared with you the links to the originals as well. It's one of those training videos we were talking about. MISA said she loves NO GOD because she has a cool bass solo in it.
Wave please help me out. This is one of several Band Maid songs where the original video has been blocked due to copyright. Are these all on the Live at Zepp blueray recording that sells for >> $200? Can you tell me any more about it? Thanks!

Why do I love Band-Maid ?
Here's the answer.
Not only the skills which many musicians can play, but also the creative, feeling and emotional match only Band-Maid now.
That's why Jimmy Page said Akane was the reincarnation of John Bonham!
Akane's slow rolls and fills during the combined was superb. She filled the space subtlely and did not overpower the work of Kanami and MISA.
Akane and MISA know exactly what they’re doing.

Akane's drum beat during the solos is primal... complete with a heart beat! A perfect match up with MISA and Kanami!

@@Marcus_C51 I also hope Band-Maid could do collaborations with other bands in other countries like Linkin Park. Although, they have no plan to collab with other band. But, I still waiting their collab with Herman Li
Wave, Yes - the trio of Akane, Misa & Kanami are exceptional. I can’t say enough about their talents as they share so many characteristics with my musical heroes like Lee, Lifeson & Peart - the Holy Triumvirate, Rush - and even with Bonham, Jones & Page. They are truly fabulous AND only getting better as the continue growing together. Love it!! 🤘🏼
I would add that often Kanami invokes Slash a lot for me, in her body language while playing/performing.
@@razor1uk610 Body language I’d definitely agree. Slash is an excellent rock guitarist who I should probably listen to more and credit more but I’d grew up in the 60’s & 70’s and been immersed in the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck, Howe & Lifeson for many years by that time so I probably didn’t give GNR & Slash the depth of listen I should have - just heard the hits. I’ve heard a song or two from his work in his other projects and that’s always impressed me. I don’t think he’s had the opportunity to expand his range to the degree that Lifeson, Howe or Beck have, for instance, into longer Prog-Rock pieces where they can invoke a wider range of influence and variation in their playing but I’m sure he’d shine in that format. Same with EVH - could you imagine what Eddie could do in a long proggy piece of music - would have been very cool - and heard rumors that he had some tasty morsels in his personal recordings - hope it’s true and we get to hear those someday. Love to be in the room while Kanami is creating, for sure. 🤘🏼🎸
It's been a while since I've seen this! I love that middle part so much!
What immediately excited me was the soundscape created by the strings. It makes everything seem to float.
This is a much overlooked track review wise. I haven't seen it for ages and forgotten how good it was. There are a few versions , but this awesome gtr/bass battle is the best one by far. And Akane does genius time changes throughout the song to give it the dynamics it requires to open up as you said. Such a wonderful live band. There is a lot of bands chasing this level , but no one is getting close .
12:51 That rest there was followed up by a HUGE crashing sound effect, it creates massive impact. It must be crazy to listen to live.
The chorus on this song is one of my favorites in their entire catalog. I love this song. :)
Try playing MISA’s bass part during the duel.
I dare you. LOL
Holy crap!
You didn’t talk at all during the duel.
That’s got to be a first.
Hahahaha 🤣😅 and he didn't pause it 36 times during it either !
WAVE--what a cool reaction to this tour de force version of the song! And I've noticed what a springboard for discussion this thread is for us Maidiacs! Your analysis is spot on, good point on Miku's rhythm guitar skills, I'm a guitarist myself and yes, she's got to be focused to play her parts in these compositions. Lots of intricate changes and yeah, those rests! And Kanami, all of those different parts that she plays, the muted arpeggios are so effective on this. She rarely takes any time off, has to be one of the hardest working guitarists around-and alot of these fills and parts can be difficult. I, too, marvel at the precision she plays with, all those glissando slides on parts, I remember thinking on a different song, wow, she could make this section alot easier for herself if she didn't do that, but then it wouldn't have the effect musically that she's looking for.
Good point on the halftime section in the chorus, it IS awesome, they do that kind of thing so much. Positively brilliant. And another thing I love about Kanami is how in between her incendiary blitzing single line tremolo and hammer on riffs she'll throw in that raucous early 70's dirty double stop bend ala Chuck Berry and grind on it! Anyway, appreciate your reaction, I tend to not analyze them too much and let their musical excellence blow through me but it's cool to hear some. But I didn't even mention MISA MISA and Akane, I could wax poetic about them for days but won't--the best rhythm section working today? -----I think so! Cheers!
And Miku has to sing as well. I don't think that could be easy.
Oh man... because of the way the request was titled (which I understand now), I wasn't sure if it was going to be the performance from Zepp... but I'm so glad it was. This performance of this song is mind-blowingly awesome. In the concert, this song is immediately followed by Daydreaming. :P
I can't wait until you get enough reactions under your belt so that you can actually watch a concert. Good job as always.
Thank you Matt! I can't wait for that either! I just want to be a BM super fan now!
KANAMI's favorite guitar player is Carlos Santana. She hopes to meet him someday. KANAMI is the one who plays the synth on the back tracks.
"Power trio", yes, definitely! I always thought A-chan's drum sounds made the Mincho-MISA duel twice more awesome😍
Man, i love your reactions. So instructional & informative for us 'non musos'.
Your stunned expression said it all. I don't know any band since Rush that would even try this sort of thing. This used to be up on youtube, too bad it isn't there any more.
My absolute favorite Band-Maid performance ever! Epic!!!
On your comments about Miku's playing ability, how much do you think that can be attributed to learning from Kanami to play that specifically? Instead of most people, that start picking up guitar to play cool leads and solos, Miku went straight to rhythm
You've got to do Turn Me On, they play it right before this song. It's an incredible performance with some nice instrumentals too. Also if you can find Take Me Higher live performance, that one is amazing too.
Love the song, love the review and comments. True, true, they are all genius in what they are doing in service to the song and the band. It's hard to stay with a "favorite" in the band because each member will shine at any time in any song and it always works. Especially now that they are totally in charge of their own music.
It NEVER ENDS with these girls.
Le Band Maid sono un gruppo pazzesco!!!!Akane,Misa e Kanami formano un trio sensazionale,non ci sono dubbi...
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 my all time #1 version Band-Maid song. The "conversation " between Misa and Kanami is awesome with Kanami moving those 2 along. I was so fortunate to see this Live here in LA at the Lodge. Many of us were disappointed the next year when B-M played this song and the "conversation " did not happen. But that was the Maids keep their concerts different. 🙂
Hey man--yes, so cool to see this Zepp footage on YT, so powerful and dynamic, along with the subtle work by Akane in the conversation. It'd been awhile since I'd seen this-over a week (ha ha) and it never fails to blow me away! So did you see the Splendour show? It was way too short for my tastes (they barely had time to warm up when they taped it) but it is what it is. Hopefully we got some more fans onboard. Very cool reaction by Wave too, I admit it--I just love seeing others totally digging what Band Maid does! 😃😎
I call Akane's drumming during the power trio "atmospheric drumming".
Yes, it's got sort of a tribal feel with some jazz textures too...brilliant. Her cymbal work in general is beyond belief--along with everything else she plays!
Eargasm.........🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Well, I think 'battle of the goddesses' is an excellent description for this performance. And thank you for mentioning Akane during the duel, because for me she is very much a part of this battle as well. 🤘🏻🔥
【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 】🕊️
To me it is like the three of them are combining forces to at one slay a demon and yet create life where there was none before.
@@TwinTailSteve Very nice analogy. And since they are already breathing new life into the rock genre, why not think even bigger!? 😇✌🏻
Now you know why that "power stance" of Misa and Kanami is my phone lock screen. 😃
This song live is amazing.
Band Maid makes everything better.
This is a video of the girls at their training camp for the 2019 tour. You can see how serious Kanami is, how Akane gives her drum names and having just General fun
ruclips.net/video/eNl9LsIquAI/видео.html
it is not available anymore.. Is there another way to see this?
More attention should be given to Akane's drum fills in the back, providing good musical accompaniment without clashing and standing out to the bass and guitar, but also not being just a repetitive "Rythm machine".
Although her contribution is very important, she keeps it discreet that normally you won't notice her.
If it was another typical rock band, the drummer would be also demanding a drum solo in the song.
Another thing about the dual solo is that it's not a "noodling show off" of egos, but more an extension of the song creating a unique mood and atmosphere at a live show.
At 13:20 Potter missed the china bomb.
What I love about those sudden ending is that you always hear the snare fading away. Also, that was an epic call and response solo between MISA and Kanami with the perfectly placed magical drum fills of Akane.
What impress me is that in my opinion the trio's intrumental breakdown was improvised so that Saiki could recover her voice a bit. poor Saiki needed a break for sure.
Check out the props MISA and Kanami give Akane after their "duel". It goes by really fast but there is a quick shot from behind Achi of both girls giving her some love. Thank you for giving her some attention as many reactors only see the two guitarist and fail to hear Achi's set ups. And thank you for holding a torch for these brilliant girls. I hope some day they are able to personally thank you for all you do for them.
This is an amazing reaction!!
Still waiting for you to react to Moratorium and Puzzle (live and acoustic). 😊
Excellent!
I can tell Wave is a big fan of Kanami aka “Mincho” 🙂
Careful Wave. I think you forgot to breathe there for a minute😜
Ah...the long lost live version! Badass.....!
Epic!
Wave! Wave! WAVE! Snap out of it, buddy. Here's a tissue for that drool when Kanami and MISA zombified you.
Haha. Tissue or several towels?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Towels. Definitely towels.
@@patron40silver Wow Patron, it took you a month to get some towels.😆
@@GaryHolloway-810 Towels are for Wave. I use a bib. It's much easier and I'm lazy. 🐷
@@patron40silver That's not being lazy Patron, that's being sensible :)
Alguien más extraña la antigua voz antigua de Saiki ??? :''''3
Speaking of power trios, let these 3 young ladies blow you mind.

it makes me happy to see BAND-MAID having an effect on younger generations :)
I'm completely floored by how superb this was! How is it even possible to be this good at such a young age? It does help to have a Marshall and a PRS though! (ha ha) And the drummer had some of Akane's fills pretty close. Great work on the bass too...I wonder if Band Maid has seen it...
mincho-zilla channeled her inner gary moore and alex lifeson in this epic performance.
I really appreciate your ability to hear what the musicians are doing. You frequently mention triplet fills and no matter how hard I try I can't pick it up during a performance. I did a search on triplet fills so I sort of know what's going on but can you explain what's happening with triplets and quadruples. So, please, keep on identifying the techniques the drummer using and maybe roll back to focus on just the bit we should hear. Does this makes sense? I'm kind of babbling.
It really says something that even musicians kinda need not just another musician to point out things the band's doing that they haven't noticed yet, but preferably five or six others to catch everything. Or at least 95%.
The question is, if you didn't tell people it wasn't on youtube, would anybody know? (other than not being able to find it)
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧check out
Band maid play live world domination tour 2020 you'll have a band maidgasam 😆
I thought this live video was taken down by them....about 2-3 month ago.... :)
7:32 Waves melt face...
I recommend Heartless Scat by Ningen Isu.
Miku is definitely my fave. Look at the MV for Thrill. She was just a very kawaii guitar stand. Now she can play rhythm quite competently and it just a matter of time until she is shredding. Kanami is her teacher and I could not think of a better one for her. Thank you for your insights.
I don't think Miku has a problem with the song structure, pretty simple for her actually, especially when Kanami is your Sensei.
How can you ignore MISA’s spectacular bass during the duel?
Kind of pissed me off.
WTH! lol. Thats my copy I posted to the fan group! How do I know? That's my Band-Maid branding on the intro, outro! lol
It's all good, but I was not expecting that haha. I usually block sharing, saving, but that one must have slipped through.
NOTE: Wave did NOT strip that video. The channel on the site must have. No harm and Im not all all upset. More amused than anything.
You tell him RWS. So i'll thank you instead.👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 haha. Wave didnt strip it, the channel on that site did apparently. It's fine, but I was "wait, what, I recognize that watermark! " haha

@@WavePotter all good brother. just caught me off guard.
Behind the Ice queen, there's the demon king's maid, and behind them are the 3 beasts,
You gotta send the link to Ryan Mear...
That's not the backing track, it's Kobato's "voice from the deep".
Oh my, that’s interesting.
So called old man/dude voice labeled by Saiki...yup she mentioned that its one of the weird talent by or piegon Queen herself,Miku😅
To me, the power trio portion of the song was reminiscent of Pink Floyd.
Miku has never played one note on any CD released to date. That has all been done by Kanami. Miku has been strumming chords live for sometime now. But as yet not on any recording. With the exception of the instrumental versions released with the premium CD package of Unseen World. Those are the very first recordings of Miku playing. With the next CD you will hear Miku for the very first time prerecorded.
Ahhhh! Davie504 "could not find a better video" than just very simple MISA's moment from a US fancam! Wave, you have to point him to something real 🤦♂️
I’m going to try!!
I was like “WHAT?!?! There’s so many great moments!” Kinda glossed over such an epic bassist! But I get it. It takes a lot of time to make a video like this. But still! It’s MISA!
@@WavePotter ruclips.net/video/eqUz5KuxDRc/видео.html
I've shared with you the links to the originals as well. It's one of those training videos we were talking about. MISA said she loves NO GOD because she has a cool bass solo in it.

Wave please help me out. This is one of several Band Maid songs where the original video has been blocked due to copyright. Are these all on the Live at Zepp blueray recording that sells for >> $200? Can you tell me any more about it? Thanks!
