BABYMETAL - METAL KINGDOM || Goth Reacts

BABYMETAL has sooooo much more to offer. You haven't seen anything yet. 🤘🦊🤘

Welcome back and great reaction. 'Metal Kingdom' is the first song on their latest album, so of course they used it for the epic opening number at their concerts at the end of January - their first live concerts in nearly 2 years, where this was filmed. The thrones (they have 3 of them made with swords and hands showing the Kitsune (Fox sign🦊)) probably are inspired by Game of Thrones ... at the start of the concert a couple of huge fox gates opened and the girls appeared seated on the thrones. This is an anthemic opening number of course ... very different to 'Catch Me If You Can' which you watched last time. They have about 60 songs now, each one different to the last. It is good you can appreciate what they do and the songs you have heard so far, but as every song is so different there will be others that you will connect with - and just maybe going to see them play live will be on your bucket list after all. They are one of the very best live bands on the planet right now, so it would be a shame to miss them even if they are not what you might normally gravitate towards (yet). I think we just need to find the songs that are more your thing ... and it will be fun trying to do that. I think last time I added my vote for for the Legend 1997 live 'Headbanger' ... you can find that on Gans Tomas or abr metal channels. I will add another song here that I think you might appreciate even more - again live at the Legend 1997 concert (that was in December 2013 to celebrate Su-metal's 16th birthday), but the concert finale 'BABYMETAL Death' ... Hadesillo has posted a good version with closed captions for the intro.

I would imagine that something like "Road of Resistance" live in Japan might be able to change your opinion on wanting to go to a concert. It's as good as live performances get, in my opinion.

Babymetal has always been about a whole lot more than music. In Japan it's called Visual Kei. In essence musical theatre with evolving story and theatrics and ofc music. The only way to truly experience this band is live.

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Babymetal Kingdom is The best Kingdom !! !! 🌸

I love your honest reaction to BabyMetal. I like the way you stated your personal opinion about the band while still giving them their props. Not everything, band, singer, etc is going to be liked by everyone. That doesn't mean they're bad; it just means it didn't quite do it for you. Very cool react. Keep checking them out. BabyMetal has been around for a decade now and have a variety of performance that will put a smile on your face.

Definitely epic Game of Throne vibes and theyre stage show is amazing! Absolutely love the guitars!

Now imagine it with the real live audio as this audio comes from the Album version, all the crowd chanting the chorus like under a spell, filling all the Arena. This comes from their first two shows after their almost two years long hiatus, the last ones they performed as a duo as in the next ones at PIA it was announced that Momoko has finally become MOMOMETAL, the new third memmber of BABYMETAL. The song is an opening , for the Album The Other ONE, for their shows and the lyrics indeed are about a metaphorical beginning of a battle that's really a live show. 🤘🦊⚡️

For something a bit different, you should check out Babymetal Death from Legend 1997 concert, and In The Name Of from Legend S concert. Both are birthday concerts for Su the lead singer, one is the ending to a concert, and one is the beginning. These two performances shows off the performance side of Babymetal.... Metal Theater.🤘🦊🤘

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I did witness this very performance at the venue. This video is from Makuhari shows on Jan.28 /29. You saw one octagonal movable / elevatable stage but actually there were two identical stages for more surprising production. Several drones with camera were flying around all over the venue. Once this opening song by Su and Moa got started, I had goosebumps all over my body. The show was held after the almost 2-year long hiatus after all. Seriously many of audience were moved to tears and/or dropped their jaws when the gigantic fox wall opened and the thrones came out. Yeah! I chanted all through the song. ♪ Oh oh oh o o o ♪. What a happy experience!! The Kami band was playing on the east stage that was not captured in this video. After this opening with stateliness, 3 girls performed 12 songs with Momoko Avenger, who finally became official 3rd member Momometal 2 months thereafter.

Nice reaction, thanks! "METAL KINGDOM" was tailored to be the concept album opener and they used it to open some shows like in the visuals of this music video (which has the studio audio on it). It sets perfectly the atmosphere of the whole concert or the listening session to THE OTHER ONE album. I believe that having watched only two of their performances isn't enough for you to get the whole picture. Specially because the first was an older one and this is an opening number and without the third official member since she was announced two months after this concert. So please check out something like "Mirror Mirror" (official music video). 🤘🦊

To be frankly honest, their live shows are what makes this band. Saw them with Dethklok over the summer, which was pretty epic. Personally, Metal Kingdom isn't my favorite track. It's popular in Europe but far from what I would consider classic Babymetal. You need to get into some more like "Death" or "Distortion." Which actually was a collaboration with Arch Enemy's Alissa White-Gluz. They have had some pretty epic collaborations over the years. DragonForce with Road to Resistance. "Metal with Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine. ___________________________________________ One of my favorite performances is with Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer. Where they performed live last year in Japan for the first time with Oli at Nex_Fest. They just dropped another single "Leave It All Behind" a few days ago. Which feat Rapper F-Hero and Thai Rock Band Bodyslam. Maybe it's my favorite collaboration to date here. For more classic performances, you need to see eariler stuff. Like "Rondo of Nightmare" Mischiefs of Metal Gods at Budokan Live. Su-Metal was only 16-17 in that now legendary performance. This is what I usually recommend to holdouts as is what finally ensnared me. _____________________________________________ It features the Kami Band in the beginning in all it's savage glory. Tales of Destinies Live is another great early performance. Which was a Tribute to Dream Theatre"s "Dance of Eternity." There are others, of course but I once had a love and hate relationship as well but now appreciate all of what they have accomplished here. Not easy being a gatekeeper here, but I guarantee. There is something you will find up your alley. Su-Metal even had a duet with Judist Priest once lol. Wecome to the foxhole!!🤘🦊

I can totally imagine how awesome a concert of theirs would be after watching this! So good!

I'd been aware of BabyMetal for many years, but it really wasn't until this year and this new album that I began to consider myself a fan. They've come so far in the 13 years since the band was founded, and they have matured. I am aware that there is older music by them that I need to discover, time permitting.

I have seen it posted many times in many places that going to one of their shows is a complete experience. Not quite the same in the US as it is in Japan though. I may actually break off the large chunk of change needed and drive over to Seattle and find out in October. Living in the area I do, the looks from all the country folk when I blast Babymetal makes my days brighter. Hahaha.

I enjoy watching your reactions......BUT....you have only reviewed 2 songs from the most diverse metal band that has been out since 2010. They have so many songs I think would blow you away. So....before you think they are not your cup of tea...please at least listen to 2 more tracks, The first being Kagerou and off their new album.....Mirror Mirror.....I really think you will enjoy tracks specially being a guitar fan. Im not some diehard fan thats been listening to BM forever....I only discovered them 5 months ago and had the same initial reaction you did. But Im very glad I took the time to discover more music from them. To the point....I bought my first concert ticket in 20 years to see BM in October!!!!! Go down the Foxhole!!!!!!!!!! LoL

Im a 60 year old metal head and this song makes me cry my eyes out.. Like most of the other songs do

IS BABYMETAL ....NO WORDS <3

Great reaction, I thought the same at one point as well, but BxMxC changed my opinion on what I thought I knew about babymetal. I don't know what song might do the same for you, but I will recommend one of my favourites, Starlight

Great song to perform to the fans. Who it is the first time they have seen you in nearly 2 years . The goddesses are back and we praise the Foxgod they are ❤❤😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
