The first time I saw Road Of Resistance live I had goosebumps until the end and I could not stop crying because I had so many emotions that I could not contain them, it is a song that I hear again and again and will continue to give me goosebumps.
You can also listen to their song Ijime, Dame, Zettai live in Sonisphere 2014 where they made their big break in the western world. Or you can also try Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro live at the Budokan Black Night which is their darkest song to date.
"It's like they created their own style". Welcome to Kawaii Metal!!! (roughly translated as 'Cute' Metal) The fusion of the Japanese Idol genre and Heavy Metal! They are flat out one of the Top Live shows anywhere in the world today. They are playing g 20 dates in the USA this fall so check and see if tickets are still available in your area...but do it fast, they sell out quickly!!! Would love to see you guys vlog about it!! LoL!!! Put your Kitsune UP!!!
when Rob Zombie was asked about the first time he saw them perform, he said: "I saw them the other day for the first time. I mean, I'd seen videos and stuff, but I saw them live for the first time the other day, and I just loved it; it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I mean, it was just like… Leave it to the Japanese to find a way to make fucking death metal cute. But it was awesome. And the crowd… The crowd was going fucking apeshit. The amount of crowdsurfing and stage diving and just complete mayhem, which made it even funnier, 'cause it's three cute little girls doing fucking karate on stage and shit, and these guys [that are backing them] are dressed like ghosts, all in white. It's the most bizarre fucking thing. It's totally worth watching; it's so good."
Su is great at getting the crowd to join in. Her getting the 2014 Sonisphere metal heads to sing about chocolate for example.... You really should get tickets to see them...you don't want to regret it down the road if you never get another chance!
@Ryan Bethke Oh I totally agree, I love Moa and Yui (huge Yui fan, she is my favorite) I just meant Su being the one actually telling the audience to do certain things or sing certain parts in those instances.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴 "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) Like a lot of their songs, 'Road of Resistance' talks about overcoming obstacles in life, whether they are internal or external. Their backing musicians, the Kami Band are legit. They are well known in Japanese music circles and are involved in a lot of different projects. Their guitarist, Takayoshi Ohmura often plays and tours with Marty Friedman (former Megadeth, etc.). When BABYMETAL's producer Koba recruited the Kami Band members, he had one specific request: "Don't hold back because they are girls. Don't hold back because they are Idols". Suzuka Nakamoto, the lead singer, has singing professionally since she was very young. Su was a member of the J-Pop trio Karen Girl's when she was ten years old. They even played this same venue, Saitama Super Arena (SSA). And besides their headlining shows, they've also opened for Guns 'n' Roses there. At this point they should just give Su a key to the place. : ) If you want to see a side of BABYMETAL you haven't yet, check out 'Rondo of Nightmare'. Especially the version that starts with the short Kami Band instrumental 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods'! The Budokan Black Night version is rightly considered a classic: ruclips.net/video/QxYAcIyk2Co/видео.html
@@TheBandSShow Not just GNR, they have opened (at their request) for both Metallica and Judas Priest in Singapore, played 'Painkiller' and 'Breaking The Law' on stage with Rob Halford, toured with Korn and Stone Sour, toured UK and US with Red Hot Chilli peppers, opened (at her own request) for Lady Gaga ... and I'm sure there are more I can't think of right now.
Grington300 300 add to that Korn and Red Hot Chili Peppers snuck on stage to play with them. They have performed with Dragon Force and Skillerix (sp?).
@@LouieGrandie Of course Dragon Force, ridiculous thing to forget on a RoR reaction video considering who wrote the guitar arrangements. Skrillex (I think that's right), on the other hand, definitely best forgotten.
@Grington300 300 I mentioned Guns 'n' Roses because it was the same venue (SSA). You could add ChThoniC to your "shared the stage with" list. Also the frontmen of Sabaton (Joakim Brodén) and Galactic Empire ("Dark Vader").
Always more BabyMetal forever! About the band(s).... BabyMetal's music is created under the supervision of their producer, Koba. When BabyMetal started, the girls (Su, Moa and Yui) performed with BabyBones (band dressed in skeleton costumes), however BabyBones were just actors miming to pre-recorded music tracks. When BabyMetal became more popular and started playing larger venues, they were joined by real live musicians known as The Kami Band (Kami wear face paint and white robes (black robes as of 2018). Kami means god or spirit in Japanese. So each member of the Kami Band is a god of their instrument (god of drums, bass, guitar). Indeed, the Kami band is made up of Japan's best, highly skilled players. Tragically, one of the Kami guitarists, Mikio Fujioka, passed away recently due to injuries from an accidental fall.
You just witnessed the power of Babymetal when they have the Kami Band supporting them (as they have been doing in all live shows since the end of 2013. They first appeared in the encores for some shows from 2012). The Kami Band costumes are based on traditional burial shrouds and ghost face paint ... there is a whole lot of mythology and lore that has been developed around Babymetal being summoned by the Fox God to reunite the world through metal. The Kami Band (it means God Band) is part of that, the Gods of guitar, bass and drums were also summoned by the Fox God to support Babymetal in their quest. The very first appearance of the Kami Band in 2012 was at the Legend I show for a two song encore. There is a minute or so of a video explaining their being called (it is in Japanese but I think you'll get the drift) before they and Babymetal rip into 'Headbanger', one of their earlier songs ruclips.net/video/hYHzzPzUIM8/видео.html (this has to be worth another reaction, it is a great song and a great early performance from before they became known in the west - the girls were 14 and 12 or 13). The Kami costumes have changed in the last couple of years - last year the white shrouds were replaced with black gowns, this year the face paint has been replaced with masks (they look a bit like Predator). This is a bit controversial, the masks look good but Babymetal fans are also very appreciative fans of the Kami Band (as a band and as individuals) and like to see them smiling and pulling faces too.
@@TheBandSShow Foxes are very prevalent in Japanese folklore as trickster gods and when the girls were shown the metal horns hand sign for the first time they thought it looked like a fox and their manager ran with it, created this whole fox god lore about how the fox god summoned them to earth to unite the world through metal and such, adapted the hand sign to look like a fox and made it a symbol for the band and their fans. Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox and at the end of this Road of Resistance video Su (lead vocalist) shouts "Put your kitsune up!" and you see everyone throwing up the fox hand sign.
@@icebalm Not just Japanese, East Asian culture... Korea and China also have stories and legend about a Fox god... it's an easy hook for over a billion of potential fans...
@@TheBandSShow Just to add some detail, the members of the Kami Band are all TOP session musicians, among the finest technical players in Japan. As someone else noted, at first the band was mediocre as the act was still experimental and the girls were still 12-13 or so. But after they started to attract attention, their producer and the record company (label) reacted to the huge popularity by drafting in the best backing players they had on staff. The songwriters and choreographer are also among the best in Japan (their choreographer is now hired to choreograph the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games). You could compare it to how The Monkees got started in the US - at first it was mainly a gimmick, but as popularity increased they were getting contributions from big stars in the music business, and received songs by Goffin/King, James Taylor, Holland/Dozier/Holland and so on. It is the same for BabyMetal. In fact, the guitar bits on this cut were actually written by Dragonforce (Herman Li and Sam Totman), and they performed on the CD cut of this song.
Whats amazing is I can remember being their age and having to give a report in front of a class of 20 or so people whom I knew and most were my friends and being so nervous my knees would shake and voice would quake These young ladies performing in front of 20,000 and nailing it It's just incredible
Hey Brian and Stan! Awesome reaction! Just to give you some info on the Kami (God) Band, they represent the metal Gods of their respective instruments, so they wear some pretty crazy outfits. They've changed a couple times from these "burial" costumes. Last year they wore dark robes which I thought were really cool. This year they're wearing masks which, while cool looking, I always liked seeing their facial expressions, so the masks aren't super popular with the fans. You guys said you had two more lined up, I can't wait to see those!
Now imagine that energy for a complete show. I have been fan since 2013 and to me for your third song i woild recommend Karate from Download UK 2016. You are correct when saying they have their own genre of metal is right. They were created because metal scene was stagnate in Japan and Koba, the creator, heard Su, the lead singer and thought about combining J-pop and metal. And that is when Babymetal created their own genre. Again you aint seen nothing yet.
I would recommend Babymetal Karate official, it is the studio version. You have seen the amazing live show they perform, watch Karate and see how they crush a music video. I honestly think that it's one of the best I have ever seen, and I am from the birth of MTV generation. (if that says anything) I rate it up there close to Thriller. (The best music video of all time)
The Kami Band (Kami means god, or spirit, which are basically the same concept in Japan) are wearing the special white kimonos normally put on corpses at funerals.
Hi from the UK. Love the reaction. Reminds me of my introduction to this band. If you watch Ijime Dame Zetai live at Sonisphere you'll see the reaction of a load of serious metal heads to these girls. UK crowds are notorious for reacting badly to stuff they don't like. They got bumped up to the main stage at the last minute. No one really knew about them and they really turned the crowd on to them. Welcome to the One!!!😁
The Kami band, dressed that way as Kami translates to god, there are over 1000 gods in Japan, according to tradition when the gods come down they look like wraiths before they take human appearance. Your not the only one that gives chills to, I have seen this video 100's of times, seen them perform it live serveral times and was even in the 3 row away from the center stage when the video was shot, and this video still gives me the chills at the same point. Next check out 'Rondo of Nightmare' Black Night
In my personal opinion, the original intention behind the Kami costumes was probably threefold: - According to the lore they were sent by the fox god, hence their „unearthly“ look - It was a means to increase the clashing between the cute, poppy side (represented by the girls) and the Metal side (represented by the instrumentalists) - In the beginning they were meant to stay in the background anonymously to keep the focus on the girls. Interestingly, that seemed to change a bit later (probably due to their popularity) and they even got solo spots. Unfortunately, in 2019 we are apparently seeing them going in the opposite direction again, since they are now wearing masks, and the solos both in the songs as well as between songs have been reduced a lot.
Or as an interviewer at Glastonbury festival recently said: Babymetal fucking destroyed the [stage name] That is probably a good explanation of what they do. :-)
If you want to see how SUE-METAL celebrated her 16ht birthday check out BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997 (Complete) ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html
Who the hell~ walks into BUDOKAN at age 14(YUI and MOA) (SUE-METAL was 16) and changes history? If you've played the LEGENDARY BUDOKAN, you have made it. If you've played a sold-out TOKYO DOME 55,000 SEAT STADIUM two nights in a row - you are immortal! BABYMETAL 4 LIFE….
that gesture she makes at the start where she puts here hands together and then opens them wide .. she is parting the sea telling the crowd to make room for the mosh pit
You guys are pretty good. You’ll get a lot of love from the BABYMETAL community. Michael Jordan indeed! Never thought I’d here that comparison but I like it and feel like ... yea that fits haha
great reaction!! i see the notification of your video hours ago and when i click it was gone and that was sad i really want to see your reaction to this! hahaha and that was quick thanks for that!! Babymetal sure is something else they change minds whit the power of his music, i personally don´t like Babymetal the first time i listen to them was gimme chocolate and was ugh wtf is this!! for me metal was a genre of heavyness and agression but when i see this video and and the live version of ijime dame zetaii in sonisphere 2014 my mind just blowout... they are amazing!! the backing band is awesome some of the best musicians of Japan they are call it the Kami band (band of gods) and literally they are gods in their instruments. In this show the girls have 17 years old Su-Metal (vocals and dance) and 15 years old Yuimetal and Moametal (scream and dance) the show was on Saitama Super Arena SSA and the attendance 20,000... that sure is big but their bigger shows to this days was on the mitic Tokyo Dome, 55,000 people two nights in a row total 110,000 and they play diferent setlist the two nights, whitout encore, 80 minutes was the duration approx of each night... they are my favorite band i really love what they do, thanks for react to Babymetal! cheers and greetings from Mexico
No reaction on there top 3 songs/performances? 1. Budakon black knight (Rondo of nightmare w/ mischief's of metal intro (live). 2. Pa pa ya (live) 3. Megitsune (official music video)
Loved your reaction guys more Babymetal please, here are some sugestions: Megitsune, GJ (live at wembley), Sis. Anger (live at Tokyo Dome you'll have to watch this one on Dailimotion), Yava, Ijime Dame Zetta (live at sonisphere), PA PA YA official video and Shanti (live at Glastonbury) or you can just pick any of their songs all are amazing and their discrograhy is incredibly diverse.
Thought you would like that one. Great reaction you where a bit WTF your first reaction to gimme choclate but could i say enjoyed it . Now its hey theres some real talent and of course the " that is a hell of a voice for a little thing like Su" and there power over the audience and of course that we really love them. The chills i still get them even though i have been a fan a while and not just this song. They can even make you tear up with pride and emotion especially to Su's vocals and the emotion in her performance. These girls are something special although they play huge sell out shows in stadiums to smaller venues ( which always happens) they are very humble and i think give there fans that love back in there performance never less than a 100% . I hope you react to some more Babymetal as no two songs are same. you are in for more surprises . By the way You should expect" Big Spiders " your show is called B S .🤘😁🤘
So you survived your WTF moment and were stung a little bit... You know that if you watch one more, that's it, there's no turning back.... It 's like the pill moment in the Matrix...
Band-Maid. Asterism. BabyMetal. In that order. The best things the world needed in the hard rock metal scen. I can't explain enough how much these bands/multi-musicians/entertainers, world class musical brains puts out the very best of their own ideas to sheer perfection in the end results. I'm hooked on these three bands. They are all extraordinary in their own way, right there at the peak of the summit. They earn their rights. But the music industry is...well...corrupt....you know that 😉(as everything else that matters). Where's the money goes...there's 'thieves' all around. Scammers and thugs all over the place. Lets the music rule and the scums fade away. My rant is at the closure. Long live Rock 'n' Roll !
See, now that's a good, genuine reaction. Thanks for killing the spider too, spiders deserve death! People are going to bombard you with BABYMETAL song titles for you to watch, you'll find the links to all of them in my Google Drive link list below. Can't wait to see more! drive.google.com/open?id=131p-m3zk6ViH1paInEE_67wHmP4FqSNf
Stage One is the WTF stage. Stage Two is when you realize things may be legit here. Stage Three is when you listen to the albums front to back and just let it all sink in. Stage Four is when you realize you'll follow them anywhere.
Welcome to the crazy and magical world of insanely talented Japanese bands. Every Babymetal song explores a different type of metal music and no two are alike. While Babymetal is busy re-inventing what metal can sound like, there's another Japanese band out there doing the same to heavy rock: Band-Maid. Please react to Band-Maid - Dice (MV): ruclips.net/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/видео.html Or for something live: Band-Maid - Play (Live): ruclips.net/video/YeiIju_t1D8/видео.html
oh 2 suggestions . . if you want something a little slower more of a ballad 'the one'which is in large part in english which is fun and then option 2 if you really wanna get a good look at the band do rondo of nightmare/w mischief intro round the house solo'sboth guitars and the bass and a drum solo its amazing and its also a su solo song too
I enjoyed this video lot! And yours was good, too. :-P I'm glad they succeeded in making you smile, because that's the mission. They are indeed unique in their approach to Metal (or maybe even music in general), and the Metal genre can use some fresh ideas. When has Metal ever made you smile like that? I'd like to see you react to more of their songs, but please don't ecpect all songs to be like this, because hardly any two of them sound alike. The common demoninator is that they are all awesome, but in different flavours. I'd say this is one of those with the smallest kawaii factor. It would be interesting to see how you'd react to the really caries inducing ones. For some middle grounds my next recommendation would be Megitsune: ruclips.net/video/PUkzu1IJW4w/видео.html
I noticed you had some trouble posting this one, was it due to copyright issues? Usually this video does not have too many issues. Due to changing laws in Europe and US, more and more stuff is getting strikes or blocked. For your continued journey into Babymetal and many other Japanese groups, and increasingly more worldwide, you will probably need to switch to using the link and sync method. Just post the original link in the description and then give a countdown on when to start/stop. We are used to it, and it allows us to adjust the volume of both videos to a level we like. It will also allow you to react to the really good material on other sites such as Dailymotion.
@@comedianstanshelby857 Oh I see. Babymetal is special in Japan too. They are cute but aggressive so cool! I meant Japanese language pronounce though haha. Japanese mean Japanese people and language... It's irritating me lol Thank you for reply to my comment
@@peckoltia31 Personally I love the way Japanese sounds in song. The pronunciation of the Japanese characters is made for music. I can't understand much, but it doesn't matter much if the performance is great and sounds good. I can always google the lyrics if I want to know later. To be honest, I can't understand a lot of English lyrics by listening to them either. What I enjoy is the overall sound, and many Japanese bands/groups in differing genres, that I have listened to after discovering Babymetal, sound fantastic.
Band Maid are different yes, but infinitely better? Yeah right. They are reasonably good technically, but overall very boring to many of us. Their vocals are vanilla, monotone, & uninspiring. And their overall sound is just like MOST of the other 117,000 metal bands out there, minus the growls. I prefer "less authentic" and unique ANY DAY to "more authentic" and same-old-same-old (no group is truly authentic). Sorry. And I'm actually considering going to their concert. :-)
@@billrand4138 Yes, Band-Maid does rightly appeal to the traditional metalhead (and I do keep a foot in that world), with their sound, and they are good. But some of us have WAY TOO MUCH seriousness & stress in our lives as is. We need fun, happy, & different. Babymetal is a breath-of-fresh-air in that respect.
"Ijime Dame Zettai" live at sonisphere 2014, "Karate" live at download 2016.... WARNING- BABYMETAL ARE ADDICTIVE.!
The first time I saw Road Of Resistance live I had goosebumps until the end and I could not stop crying because I had so many emotions that I could not contain them, it is a song that I hear again and again and will continue to give me goosebumps.
You can also listen to their song Ijime, Dame, Zettai live in Sonisphere 2014 where they made their big break in the western world. Or you can also try Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro live at the Budokan Black Night which is their darkest song to date.

Do you think the orl or atl show will be crazier?
@@TheBandSShow I don't know. Every show will be crazy! Either way its gonna be awesome.

And besides their headlining shows, they've also opened for Guns 'n' Roses there.

BabyMetal's music is created under the supervision of their producer, Koba.

And that is when Babymetal created their own genre. Again you aint seen nothing yet.
Ray Collins we are definitely fans
I would recommend Babymetal Karate official, it is the studio version. You have seen the amazing live show they perform, watch Karate and see how they crush a music video. I honestly think that it's one of the best I have ever seen, and I am from the birth of MTV generation. (if that says anything) I rate it up there close to Thriller. (The best music video of all time)
I know, it's impressive the versatility of the girls and the Kami Band, lately they provided an amazing display of their talent with Shanti.
Noone, and I mean noone does it better.. Those are very brave girls..
Great reaction, guys! Welcome "The One"! Looking for more reactions and your thoughts!
Me babymetal fan since 2014
The Kami Band (Kami means god, or spirit, which are basically the same concept in Japan) are wearing the special white kimonos normally put on corpses at funerals.
Hi from the UK. Love the reaction. Reminds me of my introduction to this band. If you watch Ijime Dame Zetai live at Sonisphere you'll see the reaction of a load of serious metal heads to these girls. UK crowds are notorious for reacting badly to stuff they don't like. They got bumped up to the main stage at the last minute. No one really knew about them and they really turned the crowd on to them. Welcome to the One!!!😁
The Kami band, dressed that way as Kami translates to god, there are over 1000 gods in Japan, according to tradition when the gods come down they look like wraiths before they take human appearance.
Your not the only one that gives chills to, I have seen this video 100's of times, seen them perform it live serveral times and was even in the 3 row away from the center stage when the video was shot, and this video still gives me the chills at the same point.
Next check out 'Rondo of Nightmare' Black Night
Welcome to The One. Speaking of which you should watch The One from Babymetal
I love His Airness Michael Jordan and Babymetal. MJ is my basketball hero
Jinska He is my all time favorite too.
@@comedianstanshelby857 You guys should check out Megitsune my favorite Babymetal song probably their best MV ruclips.net/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/видео.html
In my personal opinion, the original intention behind the Kami costumes was probably threefold:
- According to the lore they were sent by the fox god, hence their „unearthly“ look
- It was a means to increase the clashing between the cute, poppy side (represented by the girls) and the Metal side (represented by the instrumentalists)
- In the beginning they were meant to stay in the background anonymously to keep the focus on the girls. Interestingly, that seemed to change a bit later (probably due to their popularity) and they even got solo spots. Unfortunately, in 2019 we are apparently seeing them going in the opposite direction again, since they are now wearing masks, and the solos both in the songs as well as between songs have been reduced a lot.
BABYMETAL = kikc off return touchdown 🏈
Thank you goooood reaction !! 🎸☆彡
sasabon37 well said, well said
Going to see them next month. Wooahh wooahh wooiaaoohha
Here we go Steelers here we go! {discover Babymetal} HERE WE GO BABYMETAL HERE WE GO!!
Lol Mike
Or as an interviewer at Glastonbury festival recently said: Babymetal fucking destroyed the [stage name]
That is probably a good explanation of what they do. :-)
If you want to see how SUE-METAL celebrated her 16ht birthday check out BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997 (Complete) ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html
Damn that's cool :D Ho fuck thes a big ass spider there ! :O
Who the hell~ walks into BUDOKAN at age 14(YUI and MOA) (SUE-METAL was 16) and changes history? If you've played the LEGENDARY BUDOKAN, you have made it. If you've played a sold-out TOKYO DOME 55,000 SEAT STADIUM two nights in a row - you are immortal! BABYMETAL 4 LIFE….
Can i copy this Bro? There are two idiot metal heads who reacted to ROR and hate the performance.
that gesture she makes at the start where she puts here hands together and then opens them wide .. she is parting the sea telling the crowd to make room for the mosh pit
You guys are pretty good. You’ll get a lot of love from the BABYMETAL community. Michael Jordan indeed! Never thought I’d here that comparison but I like it and feel like ... yea that fits haha
Nice choice🤘 nice reaction🦊
nice God band神バント🤘 nice singer🤘
The Kami band dress in traditional burial gowns
great reaction!! i see the notification of your video hours ago and when i click it was gone and that was sad i really want to see your reaction to this! hahaha and that was quick thanks for that!! Babymetal sure is something else they change minds whit the power of his music, i personally don´t like Babymetal the first time i listen to them was gimme chocolate and was ugh wtf is this!! for me metal was a genre of heavyness and agression but when i see this video and and the live version of ijime dame zetaii in sonisphere 2014 my mind just blowout... they are amazing!! the backing band is awesome some of the best musicians of Japan they are call it the Kami band (band of gods) and literally they are gods in their instruments. In this show the girls have 17 years old Su-Metal (vocals and dance) and 15 years old Yuimetal and Moametal (scream and dance) the show was on Saitama Super Arena SSA and the attendance 20,000... that sure is big but their bigger shows to this days was on the mitic Tokyo Dome, 55,000 people two nights in a row total 110,000 and they play diferent setlist the two nights, whitout encore, 80 minutes was the duration approx of each night... they are my favorite band i really love what they do, thanks for react to Babymetal! cheers and greetings from Mexico
Thanks for tuning in. Ya we are digging the Babymetal- it was the highlight of our session yesterday, everything else was an anticlimax!
September 6th, 9PM at the Coca Cola Roxy in Atlanta...I will be there....hope to see you all there as well!!!
Thank you for great reaction. That was great live.
1.3k people liked Babymetal
25 people liked spiders
Well great reaction again guys welldone
Come on, guys. The spider just wanted to watch too.
I hOPE THAT BABYMETAL COME TO THE KNOTFEST MEXICO 2019
Next should be Head Banger Live. Here is a link to the best version. ruclips.net/video/QEsOaMbNFww/видео.html
No reaction on there top 3 songs/performances?
1. Budakon black knight (Rondo of nightmare w/ mischief's of metal intro (live).
2. Pa pa ya (live)
3. Megitsune (official music video)
If you like tempo changes, check Japanese Hardcore group Maximum The Hormone. :)
Loved your reaction guys more Babymetal please, here are some sugestions: Megitsune, GJ (live at wembley), Sis. Anger (live at Tokyo Dome you'll have to watch this one on Dailimotion), Yava, Ijime Dame Zetta (live at sonisphere), PA PA YA official video and Shanti (live at Glastonbury) or you can just pick any of their songs all are amazing and their discrograhy is incredibly diverse.
Thought you would like that one. Great reaction you where a bit WTF your first reaction to gimme choclate but could i say enjoyed it . Now its hey theres some real talent and of course the " that is a hell of a voice for a little thing like Su" and there power over the audience and of course that we really love them. The chills i still get them even though i have been a fan a while and not just this song. They can even make you tear up with pride and emotion especially to Su's vocals and the emotion in her performance. These girls are something special although they play huge sell out shows in stadiums to smaller venues ( which always happens) they are very humble and i think give there fans that love back in there performance never less than a 100% . I hope you react to some more Babymetal as no two songs are same. you are in for more surprises . By the way You should expect" Big Spiders " your show is called B S .🤘😁🤘
Stay turned for their upcoming third album, Metal Galaxy! I believe this will be their most diverse and mature album yet!
Ok... The next BABYMETAL songs:
Rondo of Nightmare
Headbanger
Death
Always live
So you survived your WTF moment and were stung a little bit... You know that if you watch one more, that's it, there's no turning back.... It 's like the pill moment in the Matrix...
Band-Maid. Asterism. BabyMetal.
In that order.
The best things the world needed in the hard rock metal scen.
I can't explain enough how much these bands/multi-musicians/entertainers, world class musical brains puts out the very best of their own ideas to sheer perfection in the end results. I'm hooked on these three bands. They are all extraordinary in their own way, right there at the peak of the summit. They earn their rights.
But the music industry is...well...corrupt....you know that 😉(as everything else that matters). Where's the money goes...there's 'thieves' all around. Scammers and thugs all over the place. Lets the music rule and the scums fade away.
My rant is at the closure.
Long live Rock 'n' Roll !
I rememver hearing that this song was actually written by them with help from Dragonforce.
Babymetal karate live at download festival 2016 most awesome and headbanger live to better
good reaction!
Here goes nothin'...
Babymetal - DEATH! (The Legend 1997 version)
React to that. You won't regret it.
Check out the songs Karate, gimme chocolate, and Catch me if you can.
Anyone going to their concert in O2 Manchester Arena next year? 20 February 2020???
You should react to "Megitsune" official video or blackbabymetal's "onedari daisakusen"
See, now that's a good, genuine reaction. Thanks for killing the spider too, spiders deserve death! People are going to bombard you with BABYMETAL song titles for you to watch, you'll find the links to all of them in my Google Drive link list below. Can't wait to see more!
drive.google.com/open?id=131p-m3zk6ViH1paInEE_67wHmP4FqSNf
Yeah we keep it 100 around here. The damn spider was huge!!!!
Stage One is the WTF stage.
Stage Two is when you realize things may be legit here.
Stage Three is when you listen to the albums front to back and just let it all sink in.
Stage Four is when you realize you'll follow them anywhere.
Welcome to the crazy and magical world of insanely talented Japanese bands. Every Babymetal song explores a different type of metal music and no two are alike. While Babymetal is busy re-inventing what metal can sound like, there's another Japanese band out there doing the same to heavy rock: Band-Maid.
Please react to Band-Maid - Dice (MV): ruclips.net/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/видео.html
Or for something live: Band-Maid - Play (Live): ruclips.net/video/YeiIju_t1D8/видео.html
We keep hearing about them and will do it
Also, that that is 20,000 people in that stadium
oh 2 suggestions . . if you want something a little slower more of a ballad 'the one'which is in large part in english which is fun and then option 2 if you really wanna get a good look at the band do rondo of nightmare/w mischief intro round the house solo'sboth guitars and the bass and a drum solo its amazing and its also a su solo song too
I enjoyed this video lot! And yours was good, too. :-P I'm glad they succeeded in making you smile, because that's the mission. They are indeed unique in their approach to Metal (or maybe even music in general), and the Metal genre can use some fresh ideas. When has Metal ever made you smile like that?
I'd like to see you react to more of their songs, but please don't ecpect all songs to be like this, because hardly any two of them sound alike. The common demoninator is that they are all awesome, but in different flavours. I'd say this is one of those with the smallest kawaii factor. It would be interesting to see how you'd react to the really caries inducing ones. For some middle grounds my next recommendation would be Megitsune: ruclips.net/video/PUkzu1IJW4w/видео.html
Watch your step. The FoxHole is deep. Enjoy the ride. PS You should have edited in the sound of some gunshots after you went back the second time.
NOOOOOOOOOOO, u guys just wacked a baby metal spidey fan .... The 🦊 god will be angry .....
Spider was running from babymetal. It was not a fan.
@@TheBandSShow. Hahaha! Oh gosh I'm cryin'...with laughter 😂
The band "Dark Funeral" might be nice, be sure to find something with good Audio 🐱👤
あら？左の人って確かTWDのリックだよね？

Yonathan Prado Ramos we working our way to it
Welcome to "The One". Great reaction video. Go Ravens...Steelers...meh.

That spider was not going to hurt anyone he just wanted to Jam with you guys and eat a few bugs.

教えて頂きありがとうございました^ - ^
I noticed you had some trouble posting this one, was it due to copyright issues? Usually this video does not have too many issues. Due to changing laws in Europe and US, more and more stuff is getting strikes or blocked. For your continued journey into Babymetal and many other Japanese groups, and increasingly more worldwide, you will probably need to switch to using the link and sync method. Just post the original link in the description and then give a countdown on when to start/stop. We are used to it, and it allows us to adjust the volume of both videos to a level we like. It will also allow you to react to the really good material on other sites such as Dailymotion.
Interesting, thanks for that, we may try that out!
What do you think about Japanese? I mean what Japanese sounds like to foreigners?
I think there is a lot of talent in Japan. These bands are blowing us away, didn't know japan got down like that
@@comedianstanshelby857 Oh I see. Babymetal is special in Japan too.
They are cute but aggressive so cool!
I meant Japanese language pronounce though haha.
Japanese mean Japanese people and language... It's irritating me lol
Thank you for reply to my comment
@@peckoltia31 Personally I love the way Japanese sounds in song. The pronunciation of the Japanese characters is made for music. I can't understand much, but it doesn't matter much if the performance is great and sounds good. I can always google the lyrics if I want to know later. To be honest, I can't understand a lot of English lyrics by listening to them either. What I enjoy is the overall sound, and many Japanese bands/groups in differing genres, that I have listened to after discovering Babymetal, sound fantastic.
did you seriously kill the spider? -.-
ya it was one of those gigantic "watch out danger" spiders. we can't be dying of spider bites and depriving you of babymetal reactions!
please react to
BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL)
so good！
what does B$S stands for?
Has anyone ever told you you look like Jon Stewart? You could pass for his twin!
Ok... sorry about that. I've been wanting to say that for some time.😁
Haha!! Don't be sorry about that, if you think I look like Jon Stewart that is your opinion lol. Ohhh Brian looks like jon stewart,
@@comedianstanshelby857 🤣🤣🤣
It's bad luck to kill a spider
His shirt is really messing with the video
or it's something else and I'm just stoned lol.
ohh...it's some sort of green screen thing they're using that's messing with the video.
@@nickclark6236 No were trying not to get blocked homie
Dimash
Check out Band Maid,,infinetly better ,,and they actually play lol
@PrepsterM because they are a real band and BM are, other than the music more of a novelty?
Band Maid are different yes, but infinitely better? Yeah right. They are reasonably good technically, but overall very boring to many of us. Their vocals are vanilla, monotone, & uninspiring. And their overall sound is just like MOST of the other 117,000 metal bands out there, minus the growls. I prefer "less authentic" and unique ANY DAY to "more authentic" and same-old-same-old (no group is truly authentic). Sorry. And I'm actually considering going to their concert. :-)
@@indyh7716 if you like the screech of prepubecent, girls that sound like cats fighting in a bag then yes lol...but they are fun
@@billrand4138 Yes, Band-Maid does rightly appeal to the traditional metalhead (and I do keep a foot in that world), with their sound, and they are good. But some of us have WAY TOO MUCH seriousness & stress in our lives as is. We need fun, happy, & different. Babymetal is a breath-of-fresh-air in that respect.
@@indyh7716 i actually dont think its metal from band maid its more a mixture of rock, punk,indie, some funk thrown in there
