@@akaalexanderking Indeed it does. You won't find it on YT, but if you get the chance, listen to / watch "Matchless Gum" live. It's a short song, but it's a gem.
The epitome of a hard rock song flawlessly executed. Still one of my absolute favorites and while I know they didn't write it directly, and they've since grown and matured in style, this to me really is their signature sound.
@@akaalexanderking because they learned well from talented writers and then applied thier innate talent with a sharpened edge when creating thier own songs.
The song is written by Toshinari Ohnishi. Curious thing, this is their only colaboration. It´s a great song. If you find the way to listen to it live (Studio Coast or Zepp Tokio DVDs) you will see the ladies nailing it, It is a song that they have made very their own, with that combination of vocal layers between Miku and Saiki. Rock at full speed.
Yeah that bridge or whatever's my favourite part, it's so atmospheric and there's a lot of interesting stuff going on! I love how it goes straight into that really doomy dark phrygian sound, then when Kanami starts her solo it sounds all major and upbeat. That switch from half time halfway through is ~chef kiss~ too
Kanami to Akane......activate "Beast Mode" Akane: Roger That....activated. There are so many BM song that don't have videos that are extremely good. Their early songs really kick some serious butt, so if anyone thought they only got hotter with this last album they would be sadly mistaken. Thanks GG, good react!
Yeah, I find it wierd, that even die hard fans dismiss their earlier stuff, I've been listening to them since their first album, before Thrill was on youtube.
@@TheYeahzus I just found them January 2020, laid up from knee surgery. Spent all last year listening and re-listening and from this past January I’ve been purchasing their old music from the beginning. It’s been such a fun journey, one I’ve never done with any other band to this degree.
@@TheYeahzus It’s probably coz there is indeed a significant improvement in Kanami’s songwriting and their overall musicianship. From MIJ, NB and BNM where they were still figuring themselves out to JBI WD where they finally found their sound and took back full creative control. Then to C where they even started experimenting and expanding their sound, eventually leading upto UW which is a huge step forward and is the culmination of their growth so far. WD is widely accepted as their most solid album but try listening to a track from that and something from UW, you’d immediately notice how polished their sound has become now. The biggest change in UW imo is the maturity of Kanami’s writing. Even basic straightforward tracks like Honkai sound much more rounded and refined compared to similar tracks they did in the past. Tracks like H-G-K, Black Hole, Why Why Why and Giovanni have pretty much took them an entire level beyond. While I still prefer many of their older stuff like Puzzle over most of UW, it’s undeniable that UW is a notch above in almost every aspect. So I can understand why many hype it up over the rest esp. the newer fans. Tbh I’m already excited for their next- how would they top UW? Or would they go experimenting like C again?
Is told that the place was cold and the girls used the flames for get warm but Akane skirt got fire suddenly. This song ended many concerts for a while. I am not sure if still is for. A great classic of the band.
Now I remember--THIS is my favorite Band-Maid song! But then the last song I heard by them is always my favorite. There is a real progressive element to this one.
Thoroughly enjoying the chronological journey!!!! I remember reading in theiir earlier interviews they talk about this being one of their complex songs (up to that point). They closed out their epic 2017 Studio Coast concert with this song and absolutely rocked it.
Agree, and I personally like that more than some of the Unseen World songs where everything is hectic all at once. My favorite albums are still a three way tie between Brand New Maid, Just Bring It and World Domination - although Conqueror is very close. I love Manners off of the new album too and the rest of Unseen World is still growing on me but I don't think for me it'll beat these.
In 2017 STUDIO COAST concert this was the last song of a 22 long setlist and after playing for 2 hours they hit this song out of the park. ⚾ _(If you get the chance should check it out)_
My favourite part of the so-called bridge is that you can actually hear MISAs strings rattle against the frets which contributes a lot to the "dark" feeling :D
I always love your in-depth analysis but I think the best one is “This song is so good guys, WOW!” -> non-fiction days Yeah this definitely one of my favorites!
I love the start of this Kanami with i think a phaser peddle ? i cant get mine to sound like that lol it comes in at the end as well she is one of my favourite guitarists
@@akaalexanderking i am not very good so i am interested to see if you can there are so many variable controls on my coral MDR that change the sound i cannot get my head round it
Great song from Band-Maid! An early 💎, even if they didn't write this song, it sure feels like a song Kanami and Miku would write! Akane is the star in this one, great drumming! One of their best!
The Non-Fiction Days use to be their go-to closer. I remember watching peoples faces when they first played this at their concerts and were frozen-still with this progy powerhouse. "How can these girls do this?" When the song ended, the Maids would give Miku her few seconds of goodbyes, bow, and quickly walk off stage. The crowd felt like they'd been run over by a freight train that was speeding past... but it felt so good. And they wanted more!
This song slays live. Also, when they play it live you know it's special as they rarely play this song live. What's interesting is comparing and contrasting this song and MV/PV with the Warning! MV/PV. It is literally the meme: "How it started and How its going". :) I've been fortunate to see this played live a handful of times and the crowd goes nuts when they play it because its such a deep cut song now in their catalog.
Nice breakdown. Love this song myself and Kaname goes all out ham "rock goddess mode" in the live performance if you ever get a chance to see it. You'll just have to grin ;)
They said it was extremely cold that day on this location but you couldn't tell because this song is FIRE! 😀 So many great melodies, so catchy. Akane destroying the drums as usual! Another great break followed by a fantastic Kanami solo! Thanks GG

@@GaryHolloway-810 Spy monkeys are never good. I almost did an honorable mention and name Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith. Hey, hey, hey we're The Monkee's.
@@patron40silver Lol. I forgot about them. I would've put them in ahead of Grape Ape cos he just used to say "Grape ape, grape ape" a lot. But a bit like a B-M Top 10 songs, everyones list is different (no pun) :)
Thank you for going in order, this will showcase the progression of all member's of this incredible group of artists, it's my belief that Band Maid has become the most relevant band in 40 year's in regards to versatile song wrighting/preforming, of course I'm not forgetting about some awesome English speaking bands that started out in the eighties but they are getting older and their song wrighting is getting lackadaisical, I feel that like Zeppelin and the Beatles, Band Maid will be relevant 60 years from now, they are changing the face of music once again. P.s I'm 60years old and I have an madiac army of oldsters behind me who also agree.
Nice reaction.👍 I think the live version included in the Tokyo Zepp DVD is even better, with the same kind of energy as the live version of "Real Existence". By the way, remember "Order"😉
You could tell as time pass they become bolder in their music writing driving away of the kind of "kawaii rock" of the Thrill period (still good songs). The last album "Unseen World" it's high quality progresive hard rock and sometimes pure madness, love it, in my opinion their best album to date.
@@philcalvino884 I know this can trigger a rage fan response but, if you say that "Thrill" or "Don't let me down" are of the same quality (just an inch or two below) compared with "Dice" or "Domination" I must strongly disagree with you. And if you say those early songs are of the equivalent complexity, creativity and quality of "Giovanni", "No God" or "Black Hole" then well, it's ok to like the more simple straightforward hard rock Band-Maid, I love them too.
@@hernanuliana9111 I agree with all that. And of course I know that not all songs are roughly equivalent in quality or complexity across all albums. I think you took the common expression "matter of inches" a little too seriously.
Not my FIRST Band Maid song, but the song that made me a fan for life. It just hits ALL the right spots for me. Coming out of the solo Miku is playing a descending scale while Kanami is go up. SO SO GOOD!
Their Brand New Maid album (that inlcuded this song, Alone and Freedom) is very underrated, check out Brand-New Road or Order from it when you have time.
@@akaalexanderking this is from the album Brand New Maid. It's the album that has "Alone" on it. Alone was the only song that was written by them, everything else on the album was done by the label. I don't know if you reacted to Alone yet, but you should. After Alone, all the albums after is all Band-Maid.
This is such an underrated masterpiece that tends to not get many reactions. When I saw it, I pounced. You gave a very good reaction. Definitely one of my favorites that I wished more would react to. Thank you much! 👏👏👏
nice tele you got there, had a black one with mn neck too, a squire. she was sold so quickly, that I later regreted to have sold her. although I could never really connect with them, it´s good to see, that you are so loyal to them.
A racing snail had a pass to see this MV being shot & thought if he removed his shell he could get there faster. If anything it just made him more sluggish.🤦♂️
All I can say about that one is, I hope you feel better, soon, Sensei. 😁 Here's a DIY if you have a snail problem in your yard/garden. First, make a shallow hole in your yard/garden so a pie pan can fit into it. Place the pan in the hole and fill it with a beer. Snails aren't picky so use a cheap beer. The snails will slither into the beer, get drunk, and drown. It works really, REALLY well. You'll be amazed at how many snails you'll get rid of.
@@patron40silver Does that really work? Do they actually drink all the beer or can you scoop out the dead ones with a strainer & wait for the next lot to slither in?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yes, it works great. The pan will be overflowing with snails so you'll have to dump the dead ones and START OVER with a new beer. I put the pan out at dusk and by early morning it's completely full.
#BandMondays 🤘 The non fictions days è una delle mie preferite della loro discografia, anche se è davvero impossibile scegliere una top5... Questa canzone è praticamente perfetta sotto tutti i punti di vista, il tuo corpo balla in automatico ed è impossibile evitarlo.. Dopo un singolo ascolto non si può non diventare un maidiacs, qui di benvenuto nel gruppo 😂
My favorite Band-Maid song to this day. It wasn’t written by them, but it matches their style so well that is sounds like it was written by them. It’s an amazing song that they don’t play very much anymore (Wasn’t in their playlist when I saw them at the end of 2019). It is a very special song to me along with Alone and Daydreaming that got me hooked onto them in the first place!
Akane (or Japanese drummers in general, she's not alone) is the main reason, I have a hard time listening to western Hard Rock recently, it all sounds so boring compared to Japanese rock/metal. She just keeps pushing neat little fills and variations, never sticks to boring beats. And on top of that, she makes that all work perfectly with the songs, without drowning them in drums. And that was the perfect bridge to remind you of Gacharic Spin - ruclips.net/video/yVTp3SESzpY/видео.html :D
Even if you don't do a reaction video with it, do yourself a favor and check out the live version of this song. It's an older one, but still one of my favorites.
Well, since you did the reaction chronologically, im curious about miku's "hand wash" clip on their official channel 😆 You'll do a reaction for that right??? Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Btw, which AT series your headphone is??? 😁😁😁 Thank you so much GG for the great reaction as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Grande come al solito...vorrei chiedere un tuo parere sulla canzone ..TURN ME ON live 2018....trovo l'intro di MISA incredibile...KANAMI solo incredibile(vecchia scuola rock)...e AKANE...be lei come sempre..
This song was not written by them however I get the feeling they had more input on the songs from this album. Alone, which was on this album, was their first self written and arranged song. They were given one chance to prove they could do it. They did it.
Band-Maid didn't quite have creative control yet but these songs were quite enjoyable nonetheless. For some reason one of the riffs makes me think of Scorpions, although they have a fuller sound. Despite the fact that they didnt write it does not detract from the prowess in performing it. This Cd was the first I purchased. I just wish shipping from Japan was cheaper. That and import duties would discourage new fans.
G.G. Friend & fellow Maidiac Paco Acosta has uploaded a lot of B-M songs to his YT channel. I could've sent you any link but you can't afford to miss the definitive version of "Don't You Tell Me" live, with the awesome Kanami/MISA lead & bass conversation. Thank us both later if you react to it. ruclips.net/video/d6tj7q8po80/видео.html
Band Maid was forced by the usual corporate scum to play some elses music.So they made it theirs.And they did good.Lets face it, the ladies could rock the phonebook(if we still had them)
Everyone gets so caught up in the new albums, and understandably so, but there are several gems from the early days. This is one of them.
You forgot to add dozens, after several xD cause in my opinion 90% of their songs are great, and 10% are good
@@TheYeahzus true statement.
This one truly stands out!
@@akaalexanderking Indeed it does. You won't find it on YT, but if you get the chance, listen to / watch "Matchless Gum" live. It's a short song, but it's a gem.

The epitome of a hard rock song flawlessly executed. Still one of my absolute favorites and while I know they didn't write it directly, and they've since grown and matured in style, this to me really is their signature sound.
It really is, I would have bet that this one was theirs

Dopo un singolo ascolto non si può non diventare un maidiacs, qui di benvenuto nel gruppo 😂
Davvero una gran canzone Giuseppe, impressionante
My favorite Band-Maid song to this day. It wasn’t written by them, but it matches their style so well that is sounds like it was written by them. It’s an amazing song that they don’t play very much anymore (Wasn’t in their playlist when I saw them at the end of 2019). It is a very special song to me along with Alone and Daydreaming that got me hooked onto them in the first place!
Couldn't agree more!
Can’t wait for you to get to DICE.
I am really enjoying your input on all of these. 👍
Thanks Pierre, glad to hear that!
Indeed, those "dark parts" takes me back to the 90s with some Alice in Chains/Jerry Cantrell's vibes.
Doesn't get any better than that 😁
Akane (or Japanese drummers in general, she's not alone) is the main reason, I have a hard time listening to western Hard Rock recently, it all sounds so boring compared to Japanese rock/metal. She just keeps pushing neat little fills and variations, never sticks to boring beats. And on top of that, she makes that all work perfectly with the songs, without drowning them in drums. And that was the perfect bridge to remind you of Gacharic Spin - ruclips.net/video/yVTp3SESzpY/видео.html :D
Even if you don't do a reaction video with it, do yourself a favor and check out the live version of this song. It's an older one, but still one of my favorites.
Will do for sure, thanks!
Well, since you did the reaction chronologically, im curious about miku's "hand wash" clip on their official channel 😆
You'll do a reaction for that right??? Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Btw, which AT series your headphone is??? 😁😁😁
Thank you so much GG for the great reaction as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You never know, I just might Jim 😂
These are ATH-M50x ;)
@@akaalexanderking 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks.. Had to upgrade my potato earphone since it committed suicide yesterday 😂😂😂
That's always a sad moment, but one filled with opportunities 😂
Hello, sir? Hey, GG. Hope you're doing well and to see/hear you, soon. I miss that guitar.🤘🔥🎸
Very soon my friend ;)
@@akaalexanderking I'm so glad, glad that you're well. I've mentioned to a few people that you're coming back and they're excited, too. Can't wait.
Grande come al solito...vorrei chiedere un tuo parere sulla canzone ..TURN ME ON live 2018....trovo l'intro di MISA incredibile...KANAMI solo incredibile(vecchia scuola rock)...e AKANE...be lei come sempre..
Grazie Mauro ;) appena ci arriviamo ti dico 😁
This song was not written by them however I get the feeling they had more input on the songs from this album. Alone, which was on this album, was their first self written and arranged song. They were given one chance to prove they could do it. They did it.
When you get to the next album, Just Bring It, i's almost entirely them. A lot of fans still hold this one as a favorite. A lot of classic gems.
Can't wait, thanks for the info!
Dude check out GALNERYUS - ANGEL OF SALVATION
On the list ;)
Please, react to Scandal band
Scandal - A.M.D.K.J or Scandal - Masterpiece
Band-Maid didn't quite have creative control yet but these songs were quite enjoyable nonetheless. For some reason one of the riffs makes me think of Scorpions, although they have a fuller sound. Despite the fact that they didnt write it does not detract from the prowess in performing it. This Cd was the first I purchased. I just wish shipping from Japan was cheaper. That and import duties would discourage new fans.
Absolutely, it's still great music
G.G. Friend & fellow Maidiac Paco Acosta has uploaded a lot of B-M songs to his YT channel. I could've sent you any link but you can't afford to miss the definitive version of "Don't You Tell Me" live, with the awesome Kanami/MISA lead & bass conversation. Thank us both later if you react to it. ruclips.net/video/d6tj7q8po80/видео.html
Thanks for the link Gary, I'll see what I can do ;)
Band Maid was forced by the usual corporate scum to play some elses music.So they made it theirs.And they did good.Lets face it, the ladies could rock the phonebook(if we still had them)
Dove sei finito??ritiro spirituale?😀😀
Diciamo cosi dai ahaha, sto tornando ;)
