This guy gets it. He's great! I also don't understand why Moratorium isn't one of Band-Maids bigger songs. This should be played at every live show they do.
Must-plays could easily exceed 20 songs because they have so many great ones...and then we would never hear 80%+ of their catalog live. It's a good problem to have.
I don’t know this guy, but it’s obvious he’s a musician who hasn’t abandoned his inner “fan.” Thanks, Joel, for taking such good care of your friends by giving them fresh sounds and inspirations
Oh I love him! Not only because he showed love for the maids, but because he did it for the best reasons: the groove, and the fact you can play their songs at any moment and it will always fit and let you in a very good mood 😀. Btw "Moratorium" is very popular with longtime die-hard fans, it's almost always in the top 10 list.
"I could apply that song to any part of my day". This guy has make me realize one of the best strong points of the band. I could apply it to myself. It seems obvious, but only when you think about it. They create excellent music for any moment in your life. Thank you!
Just FYI, "Moratorium" is certainly not a "less popular" song amongst Band-Maid fans, on the contrary, I'm sure it ranks high on everyones top list. It's just that there's no official video for it, so ordinary RUclips people (reactors) do overlook it. The song's an absolute fan favorite 🤘🏻🙂
Of all the times I've introduced someone to Band-Maid, this is the one song that has never failed to send them on the road to being a maidiac. And this is the version I use.
Man I love seeing other artists grooving to new music they might not have even thought of listening to before! Especially Band Maid! You are doing Gods work by getting these guys to listen to them!
I have loved Moratorium for a long time now I have all their albums "digitally" and listen to the music straight from the albums when I am at home so I never realized that this song was not played much on RUclips but it comes up On my you tube music service pretty regular. None of my core group of friends, are into my music tastes which runs from Blues to Metal so I just go to concerts by myself or my wife comes with even if she is not into the bands I like. I have seen BM 2 times once At the House of blues, in Chicago and the next year at Lollapalooza.
When I was in high school Taproots Welcome album was one of my absolute jams. Still listen to it sometimes. I just saw Taproot guitarist and felt a wave of nostalgia. Take that how you will but I love Band Maid too so this is very good.
Seems like Joel has officially chosen his favorite BAND-MAID song. And a great choice it is! This very performance was the second song I heard from BAND-MAID, and it instantly became my second favorite of theirs. My third favorite? Let's just say trying to organize my list of favorites became exponentially more difficult the more I listen to new BAND-MAID songs. Happy organizing everyone.
Moratorium is my favorite for sure. I had been listening to them for 2-3 months before I heard this song (I was taking my time through the albums in order after hearing the singles) and as soon as I heard it this was an instant tip top of the list.
"I can apply this to any part of my day" Taylor is a pretty cool cat, thoroughly enjoyed this. ....he's a Rocker! I dug how he didn't pick one instrument but the band as a whole being great. Like @JAF729 below stated "he gets it".
Band Maid will livestream the Tour Final, so you'll have a DVD/Blu Ray to react to. The time allotted is close to 3 1/2 hours for the livestream. I sense an opener by Band Maiko, Po! 🦍🍌🥷🐦🚅☕ This was a great reaction, Sirs!
"Moratorium" is just one of those Band-Maid bangers that leads people to become Maidiacs. Then you listern to a bunch of "This is my New Favorite" Band-Maid songs and you forget about it for a while. Then you run across it again and it becomes your New Favorite! Really, the Band-Maid ladies do not know how to write a bad song. Nothin' but net every time. I can't wait to see Robert react to Maximum The Hormone and see how he reacts to their "typical" transporter booth transitions.
The older stuff from Band-Maid is my favorite stuff(especially the live ones). There is another live version of this song(Moratorium), which to me is better(look for the 5 vertical video screens is the background). Also. try looking for older "live" versions of the songs: "Don't You Tell Me"(Misa & Kanami battle), "Take Me Higher"(Misa & Kanami go back & forth), "Puzzle"(Saiki & Miku harmonize great), "Clang"(Saiki winks at you half way thru the song), "Turn Me On"(Misa & Akane great intro). There are so many older live stuff from Band-Maid that is hard to find anymore because it was taken down. They have been together for over 10 years now, so they have a lot of songs.
The other live versions you speak of were recorded as the bonus DVD/Blu-Ray "Tour Autumn-Winter 2017 tour final on November 24, 2017, at Tōkyō, Shinkiba Studio Coast for the band's second album the World Domination DVD release. The reason it's not more popular is the Studio Coast release was from a limited addition single-run 2 DVD bonus edition of "World Domination" has been out of print since 2019. Still in print regular single DVD releases of "World Domination" do not include the live concert. Set lists for both the concert and DVD are also posted on various websites.

WOW, I have ignored Moratorium for some reason. But you are right - it rocks. A bit strange structure, making it a bit uneven. But on the whole, it rocks.
Oh and Maidiacs pleas try and watch the movie Baby Assassins! NO the Maids are not in it, but a Maid Cafe plays a pivotal role in this comedy about misfit HS girl roommates who have to find p/t jobs as cover for their regular job as professional killers (one review calls it 'wholesome violence".
Yes he has great taste. Band Maid plays a very diverse array of rock tunes from beautiful acoustic ballads to speed metal like Black Hole, and all manner of prog, punk, thrash -you name it- in between. There are many Lovebite songs I skip, they are a bit hit and miss, not so with Band Maid over 120 fantastic compositions. Lovebites do what they do extremely well, I love them, but c'mon Band Maid is THE best overall band in the world presently.
Different strokes and all. Not everyone is a groupie like the maidiac wolfpack bullshit. I love both bands, and have their shirts, and both are the definition of a full on team that plays for each other, not just doing a job. That is what makes a group of musicians better than any of them by themselves.
... and he loved Lovebites a lot though. It says a lot. And I can't see the problem - he loves both bands but one resonate a little bit more to his taste, it would have suited me too if it was the other way around.
I am very sorry but I have never heard of Taproot, I have been raised listening to classical music and came across Bandmaid and Lovebites on YT by accident. This man's reaction to this song was sooooo good and really surprised me, so thank you. I will not say anything about the bands here because, I mean, what can be said of female musical goddesses.

This guy gets it. He's great! I also don't understand why Moratorium isn't one of Band-Maids bigger songs. This should be played at every live show they do.
I don't understand why Band-Maid has 500k YT subs while Taylor Swift has millions. But hey, I can still get tix for Band-Maid for $25...
Because it was never released with an official MV. So most casual listeners never heard it.
@@bandmaidfanATLAnd you can actually see them without looking at the big screen.
Must-plays could easily exceed 20 songs because they have so many great ones...and then we would never hear 80%+ of their catalog live. It's a good problem to have.
“Moratorium” and “Clang” are both like that for me.
What a great guest! Not just because he liked the song (it'd be hard not to) but because his enthusiasm for new music hasn't faded.
I don’t know this guy, but it’s obvious he’s a musician who hasn’t abandoned his inner “fan.”
Thanks, Joel, for taking such good care of your friends by giving them fresh sounds and inspirations
Moratorium is one of Band-Maid’s best in my book.
Oh I love him! Not only because he showed love for the maids, but because he did it for the best reasons: the groove, and the fact you can play their songs at any moment and it will always fit and let you in a very good mood 😀. Btw "Moratorium" is very popular with longtime die-hard fans, it's almost always in the top 10 list.
Moratorium is a very well known Band-Maid track. It kind of got a bit lost after the purge in 2020 not being an official released video.
Great choice Joel.. One of my all time favorites..
This song was my introduction to Band Maid, about 5 years later and they own my musical world.
Still one of my Band-Maid favorites, although the newer stuff is great too!
"I could apply that song to any part of my day". This guy has make me realize one of the best strong points of the band. I could apply it to myself. It seems obvious, but only when you think about it. They create excellent music for any moment in your life. Thank you!
Yes, totally agree. "Groove" is the most important thing for any music and they're the best at it😉
Welcome to the Maidiacs, Taylor.
Right on, Taylor seems like a fun dude.....
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Taylor Roberts is a great guest.
Just FYI, "Moratorium" is certainly not a "less popular" song amongst Band-Maid fans, on the contrary, I'm sure it ranks high on everyones top list.
It's just that there's no official video for it, so ordinary RUclips people (reactors) do overlook it.
The song's an absolute fan favorite 🤘🏻🙂
Yeah, I swear this song used to be on their RUclips and they just cycled it off for some reason. But yeah, not really a deep cut I don’t think.
Yeah I think what he meant is that it’s not a single, which is still insane to me, bc it’s Moratorium.😉
Of all the times I've introduced someone to Band-Maid, this is the one song that has never failed to send them on the road to being a maidiac. And this is the version I use.
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin .
Man I love seeing other artists grooving to new music they might not have even thought of listening to before! Especially Band Maid! You are doing Gods work by getting these guys to listen to them!
A man of intellect and taste.

This guy has got good taste in music and bands.
Moritorium has always been my favorite Band Maid song.
This has always been my favorite song from them, glad you showed it to him.
BAND-MAID is a groove and their own genre. Taylor just dive in and listen to everything.. its worth it
Seems like Joel has officially chosen his favorite BAND-MAID song.

one of my favorites of BM songs, insta love!
Moratorium kicks arse.
Once you hear Band-Maid, you'll take a Moratorium from all the other bands! 🤣🤘 Thx, Taylor & Joel!
Is this song not popular? It's one of my favorites!
Best rock band on the planet!🤘🫶👍
Akane is the best drummer in music today. She and Misa are the power unit that drives Band Maid.
Your best guest by far 🤘
I think it’s only not as popular because it’s no longer on their official channel. Otherwise, it would be a top one. It’s one of my top songs!
I adore BandMaid they started it all ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you are as big a fan of Moratorium as I am!
This is my fav song by them, along with Rinne, and shows they can be grungy and dirty too.
"I can apply this to any part of my day" Taylor is a pretty cool cat, thoroughly enjoyed this. ....he's a Rocker! I dug how he didn't pick one instrument but the band as a whole being great. Like @JAF729 below stated "he gets it".

Half hour of Maiko...1 hour to get changed 😁 then 2 hours Maid Rock 👍

When he mentioned one ok rock kanami covered one of their songs and she had such a bored expression like. This is too easy lol

WOW, I have ignored Moratorium for some reason. But you are right - it rocks. A bit strange structure, making it a bit uneven. But on the whole, it rocks.
🤘🤘🤘
A track from before all signature deals were inked!
Such a banger 🤘🤘🤘
Of course you should introduce him to maximum the hormone! ... But each other band maid song will draw him deeper into the pidgeon hole 😅
Instant Maidiac 👍 Deep Cut is the Firstest...or summat like that 🤘🤘🤘
So many great songs i think it just gets skipped and people never listen to it
Oh and Maidiacs pleas try and watch the movie Baby Assassins! NO the Maids are not in it, but a Maid Cafe plays a pivotal role in this comedy about misfit HS girl roommates who have to find p/t jobs as cover for their regular job as professional killers (one review calls it 'wholesome violence".
manners / black hole live, please! 🙂
In my top 5 .... great way to introduce Band-Maid! You need to check out Flying High. ... really
Good man! Governor of California, effective immediately -- fix this place!
Moratorium isn't really a "deep cut." Although it was not released as a single, it still remains very much a fan favorite, especially live!
Try ^take me higher" 70s style rock from them
or Flying high
They play this a lot live because it has a sing-a-long.
That makes sense
Another day; another BAND-MAID fan. Good work. But is MORATORIUM a deep cut?
To the casual RUclipsr...Yes. To the paid-up Pigeon-Hole Dweller...Nope 😉
Their B sides KICK ASS! They only have one or two songs I'll skip (and I won't tell)
You play him Lovebites and he prefers Band-Maid??? 😱 🤦
Yes he has great taste. Band Maid plays a very diverse array of rock tunes from beautiful acoustic ballads to speed metal like Black Hole, and all manner of prog, punk, thrash -you name it- in between. There are many Lovebite songs I skip, they are a bit hit and miss, not so with Band Maid over 120 fantastic compositions.

@@gt1man931I like Band-Maid more but I'm with you. And I'm sure the members themselves would not want a rivalry.
