    Yeahhh!!
    She's just not an ex-bassist... she's a GODMOTHER of LOVEBITES... together with Haruna - the drummer...
    Without her vision... passion.. and dedication... we will never had LOVEBITES today...
    Thank you MIHO...

    Every band has influences. I think that's completely normal. What fascinates me most about Lovebites is this technical live perfection. I never thought something like this was possible. For me, next level and gold standard. The songwriting is phenomenal. All the drops and licks and transitions. Wtf...

    Lovebites is so diverse. All their songs are awesome. I hope you guys can appreciate them even more now.

    when listening to Lovebites you always needs earbuds/headphones because the 2 guitarist plays on different ears depending on the stage.

    I believe they took their name from Halestorm's Love Bites (so do I) because when they were getting Asami (vocals) to join the band they thought that the vocals from that Halestorm song would suit her. Couple of years later Asami joined Halestorm live on stage to do that song with them.

    Thanks for giving Lovebites a second chance. To be honest, I'm not a metalhead, but I love really good music regardless of the genre and listen to all different types & sources. So I'm definitely a fan of Lovebites because they are such amazing musicians and craft wonderful compositions. I watch dozens of different reactors because I learn so much from the analysis and viewpoints from them all, so thank you for your insights!

    If your first encounter to LOVEBITES was the MV version of Judgement Day, things would have been less of a bumpy road 😁
    But I do agree. Some swear on live versions, but the latest tour videos (Knockin at Heaven's Gate) were becoming too Bloodstocky for me due to the sound mixing.
    The next two songs showed us though. 😊

    LOVEBITES - A Frozen Serenade lyrics:
    Crystal tears Falling from the skies
    Veiling fears The emptiness inside
    Time is just passing by
    Killing me under the soft twilight
    A frozen melody
    Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
    A distant memory
    If only this snow could erase the pain
    I'd wake up in a serenade
    One life ends
    And one life begins
    Evanesce
    To our origins
    When I'm lost on my way
    Lead my heart and guide me with your grace
    A frozen melody
    Of doves and ravens dancing in melancholy
    A distant memory
    If only this snow could erase the pain
    I'd wake up in a serenade
    Just like a dream, just like a bird
    I'll keep on singing out
    Even if my voice cannot reach you
    Seasons may pass, but its beauty will never fade away
    All living things are precious and irreplaceable
    Just like a dream, just like a bird
    I'll keep on singing out
    Even if my voice cannot reach you
    White butterflies are fluttering under the silver sky
    If only I could wish to see you once more

    You have just watched a video with a significant degree of audio compression. You can imagine how it sounds as a blu-ray and on good hardware. Not only every sound is audible, but all these sounds are full-fledged and very beautiful. The guitar timbres are just great, the Lovebites guitarists attach great importance to this and have achieved outstanding results. The vocals sound like live with all the overtones and in a good dynamic range, the whole process of sound production, the beginning of the sound and its fading is audible. The sound of the rhythm section (bass and drums) is just great. The low frequencies are well controlled, the high frequencies are very clean, without sand. Both studio and concert releases by Lovebites are made at the highest international level and, most importantly, they are made with the expectation of listening on good equipment. Because their music itself is such that it makes no sense to listen to it on mobile devices or in formats with a high degree of compression, which leads to losses and simplification of the sound. Surprisingly, everything released by Lovebites has been made with very high quality since the very beginning of their existence. All seven of their concert blu-ray (2018-2023) have excellent sound and video. They can be reviewed endlessly. This is the best investment in a music product. This is comparable to the four blu-ray Dream Theater I have.

    LOVEBITES - Judgement Day lyrics:
    Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
    Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
    What is “right” What is “wrong” What is “sin” Who’s to decide?
    Hide and seek Truth or dare Playing tag Chased by the evil
    Another back and forth of gaining and losing
    Running out of my time
    Each tick of the clock’s taking down piece of my life again
    Who’s ally Who’s against Who’s to pick All in your hand
    Up and down, in and out, left or right, answers turn around
    What do you see in this world full of insanity?
    When the rain come to end, what’s waiting us Don’t look away
    This is the truth
    RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
    Life - Given the “foreverness”
    RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
    Life - Leaving name in history
    Tragedy in the past find salvation
    Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
    Starting here, this is the day!
    SOLO: midori / miyako /midori /miyako / both
    Never lived Never died Never end No way to go
    Every night Everywhere Everything Arriving of darkness
    What do you see in this world full of insanity?
    When do we come to ask what's awaiting us, don't look away!
    This is the truth!
    RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
    Life - Given the “foreverness”
    RISE! THIS IS JUDGEMENT DAY!
    Life - Leaving name in history
    Tragedy in the past, find salvation
    Now with the great will, the path lay in front of me
    Starting here, this is the day!
    Judgement day!
    Judgement day!
    Judgement day!
    JUDGEMENT DAY!

    • @heavymetaltruckers

      We appreciate the comment. Yeah first go around was rough, but it led to us switching to the headphones was it ended up being a positive.

    In "Break the Wall" there is a vertical lyrics : "Die By My Side", the title of a song from an English punk band: The Explosion! If You want to explore others faces of Lovebites i could suggest: "Swan song+Chopin etude" (2020 live version), "Hammer of Wrath" (2023 with the new bass FAMI) and "Liar", same live2023. I forgot the slow side with the 3E ballads: "Edge of the World", "Empty daydream" and "Epilogue" and the trilogy about the II WW: "Above the black sea", "Under the red sky" and "Apocalypse". Thank You.

    You always hear something new when re-listening to a Lovebites song. So many intricacies in their music. Headphones are always the best to catch it all.

    • @heavymetaltruckers
      @heavymetaltruckers  4 месяца назад

      (Pincushion) indeed, and, as mentioned, there are albums out there (like dark side of the moon) that will not come across appropriately without headphones. Just be aware that we DO have about 2 months of upcoming videos where there will be majority listening on a speaker due to the change in listening happening after we recorded a bunch of material.

  • @Greg-om2hb

    LOVEBITES declared early on their goal was to make music like IRON MAIDEN. But it’s their Thrash that thrills me (I’m and old Metalhead who bought a 100th-generation copy of METALLICA’s demo CD while waiting for KEA to come out.) And A FROZEN SERENADE is indeed a special song.
    One thing to understand about LOVEBITES fans and JUDGEMENT DAY, is that was the first song released (as an OMV), after a nearly two-year hiatus as the band reformed after the departure of MIHO. The song not only introduced a new bassist, FAMI, but a radically new sound. The studio recording and mix are spectacular. True fans listed to that countless times before hearing this KNOCKING AT HEAVEN’S GATE performance, which to be honest, doesn’t sound as good, audio quality wise. But as fans listen to it, they are also hearing the very familiar studio recording in their head at the same time. Also, this song has the longest section of M&M leads (not solos) in the LOVEBITES catalog.
    BTW, the twin lead guitarists of THE HELLACOPTERS do a similar trading off of lead and rhythm in their spectacular live performance of DISAPPOINTMENT BLUES on the bonus disk included on their PAYIN’ THE DUES CD.

    LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics:
    (DIE) No sign of my time
    Cause I wish to live another life
    (BY) Who will save my poor soul?
    Crying alone in a dim hole
    (MY) Can't believe it's real
    Cause in the end, everything is gone
    (SIDE) How should I live from now?
    Find myself staring at the walls
    Tonight, I'll break the wall
    It's now or never
    Now, I'm on my own
    I've gotta get free
    Bite, I'll break the chain
    Run to my shelter
    Make it out alive
    I have to break through the wall
    (DIE)
    No sign of my crime
    Got my scars during wartime
    (BY)
    Who's the one that did it
    Deadly venom eating me inside
    (MY)
    Spent my life in vain
    I can't forget everything I've done
    (SIDE)
    I swear to my hatred
    Find myself staring at the walls
    Tonight, I'll break the wall
    It's now or never
    Now, I'm on my own
    I've gotta get free
    Bite, I'll break the chain
    Run to my shelter
    Make it out alive
    I have to break through the wall
    SOLO: midori / miyako
    (DIE)
    No sign of my time
    Cause I wish to live another life
    (BY)
    Who will save my poor soul?
    Crying alone in a dim hole
    (MY)
    Can't believe it's real
    Cause in the end, everything is gone
    (SIDE)
    How should I live from now?
    Find myself staring at the walls
    Tonight, I'll break the wall
    It's now or never
    Now, I'm on my own
    I've gotta get free
    Bite, I'll break the chain
    Run to my shelter
    Make it out alive
    I have to break through the-
    I have to break through the-
    I have to break through the wall

    If everything is good with the sound of LOVEBITES and the speaker, you should hear all 5 lines seperately (drums, bass, guitars, voice), there should nothing be hidden in the sound mesh...

    In the case of LOVEBITES, they actually DO use the same team to mix the albums and the live shows. It is the same team that also mixes for Nightwish. However, during the 2023 shows, they changed the mix a little bit because they wanted to capture more of the crowd ambience and get more of a "live" sound, so more of the sound was ambient, whereas previous shows' sound was almost entirely through the board.

    Regardless of the style you hear in metal, you always have to highlight the talent of the musicians, and here it is, lovebites does not focus on a single style, power, speed, trash, heavy or a mix, a lot of versatility. Please react to other songs live, they won't disappoint you. Live 2020, 2021 and/or 2023 with your new bassist. Ty.

      (Pincushion) no problem! I'm glad I could get that straightened out. While editing, I have a tendency to listen to dark piano soundscapes (holy shit, really? Not metal? Lol) just so I have something in the background. Previous to recording this, I had adjusted the youtube volume lower than usual for the background editing ambiance and forgot to readjust it, my bad!

    With stereo headsets you'll also be able to hear the guitar of lead guitarist on the left (Midori) on your left earpiece, and hear the guitar of lead guitarist on the right (Miyako) on your right earpiece. For something different again and a much progier sound, check out "Edge of the World" LIVE : ruclips.net/video/UZjxMjBop7w/видео.html .

    Thanks for the follow up reaction 👍🏻 Since Pin-Cushion seems to really like Classical Elements, I would strongly recommend a Reaction to Swan Song [+Chopin Intro]. It was composed by Miyako (piano on A Frozen Serenade), who studied Classical piano from age 3. She bought a guitar in high school and taught herself out of a book @ 18. She also has a degree in music composition. Swan Song starts with a Chopin solo, and the song incorporates elements of Dvoark's New World Symphony and more Chopin (and it's kinda thrashy too :0) ) ruclips.net/video/dcMVtrvpJpk/видео.html (w/CC)
