mm-hhmm, they're the worst "alternative" subculture out there, even punks know how to have fun and like listen to Ska and even goths have the cyberpunk/rivethead thing going.

It's nothing but grim and kvlt serious business-only, and the only "fun" bands usually have some sort of extreme gimmick to them like "pirate metal" or some shit otherwise they're not considered "real" metal, ironically enough. Everyone is trying out-metal each other and all that bands can do is try to be faster and louder and heavier than the next band.

I spent the better part of a decade listening to nothing but 12 different flavors of metal, it just made me depressed and full of angst, I dropped metal completely out of my life for a few years and Babymetal absolutely breathed new life into the genre

I want to contribute to the debate.
It is Babymetal to have fused every field of the music on the basics in HM.
HM+HipHop=Line
HM+Reggae=Song of 4
Babymetal belongs to only one category, that is Babymetal.

I was brought up with hearing DeepPurple and Led Zeppelin.
I like King Crimson.
And I like the baby metal, too

I was there and the audience looked really confused as to what was happening right in front of them. There were a few hardcore fans there, but the majority looked on as if they had no explanation as to what they were viewing. Nearly half of the audience left once they had realized that these three Japanese teenage girls were the next opening act. The other half simply stared into their cellphones and would sometimes dance along awkwardly to the songs. That was honestly the weakest audience I've ever seen for a rock concert ever.

I don't know. I have a pen pal who is willing to let me stay. So that part is simple.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13500333
Well, if you have a pen pal just get him to order you a ticket.

Honestly, having a contact in Japan makes the whole thing pretty easy.

[Anonymousness's Panties shop(...) No.]

>>13499928
The title of this tune in Japan is "いいね".
Nobody except Koba-metal knows why it came to be called "line".
The lyrics does not have the relations either

I have some questions for veteran Babymetal concert-goers.

Is there a separate queue for VIP ticket holders? How much earlier is it suggested to be at the venue? Also, do they sell merchandise before or after the concert?

[Anonymous No.]

>>13501171
>Is there a separate queue for VIP ticket holders?
Yes and usually it's set up by the fans who arrive the earliest, then the venue staff takes over at some point.
>How much earlier is it suggested to be at the venue?
The earlier the better, usually there's already a queue at 11AM.
>Also, do they sell merchandise before or after the concert?
Both, but sometimes things will be sold out before the end of the concert.

Also there is something about Yui in the last year or so that changed. She used to always be running and jumping around in Sakura Gakuin up until the last year, maybe now she's reached that phase in her life where she's trying hard to look older and more mature than she actually is

I doubt it, maybe she might have a bit of post-Sakura Gakuin blues but then again so would Moa.

And I'm over 6 feet, and was close to the stage and my visibility still sucked. If you're short, I recommend getting there early to get to the barrier or a seated area because I can't imagine you can see much, phones or no phones.

i did judo as a kid, and the boys and girls practiced together. there was a girl who was probably round 20 and a blue belt, and even though she could trip and throw me ridiculously easily (she was also only using yellowbelt techniques) she never managed to pin me.

i wasn't big or anything, pretty small actually, and i was 12 years old. she probably had 10-20 pounds on me actually. i remember one time she actually almost pinned me, i got desperate and managed to throw her onto the other side of me, she looked horrified and hurt and i felt like an asshole.

it might sound like i'm trying to discredit moa's judo training, but it's actually the opposite. even though girls are so much naturally weaker than men, even though i was expecting and dealing with trips/throws in my class, the well trained girl easily threw me around easily. another good thing about judo is it's pretty antisituational; if you are on hard ground then the floor is basically a weapon for you.

Highly doubtful. At best, it might only be Totman and Li on guitar but I would assume it's the whole band, maybe even the vocalist backing up Su.

Exactly, Takayoshi can play the song while not even looking at his guitar, the Kami band have been playing it for a year now. I doubt the guys from Dragonfroce ever even practised it once.

The core metal fans and metal press seem to getBABYMETAL, which shows how the language of music transcends boundaries. They hit all the entertainment buttons and are really fun to watch."

Interesting. He says the NY show was a sell out. Also a cool insight into how they got signed and how much they impressed important suits.

After this week, I actually think they could make it in America. Everyone who sees and meets them, loves them, and I went to a hip bar that plays mostly top 40 a few days ago and their full album was on the jukebox which I would never have dreamed.

Metalhead hipsters are extremely insecure, their entire identity is defined through metal and how totally brutal and hardcore and grim and dark they try to make themselves. Any band that's remotely fun or happy is immediately discredited as being "posers" or whatever.

It's also extremely patriarchal (in b4 SJW REEEEEE), it's almost exclusively a no-girls-allowed club, it's a little better now in 2015 but I remember in the late 90s when the first female metal bands started to come around the hipster metal scene had the same reaction to them as they do to Babymetal like "gb2 kitchen you whores people only like you because ur hot sluts", etc.

It's not just the fact that they're women in a men's scene, but above all it's the fact that they're a genuinely new style of metal that isn't anything like the rest.

During the late 90s when Metal was probably at its most popular than it ever was since the days of glam metal in the early 80s, when Limp Bizkit and Marylin Manson and all those guys were kings, that entire wave of new metal was appropriately named nu-metal.

Metal hipsters actually didn't think that bands like Slipknot or System of a Down or Marilyn Manson were "real metal" because they're not Slayer or Pantera or sound exactly like them, same thing with Babymetal now.

Metalheads are extremely afraid of change.

No point in getting worked up about the hate comments. The bigger they get, it will only get worse.

i think they think their genre is being exploited. for babymetal, metal is a gimmick thought up by a talent agency, the girls like pop music and want to be idols. there are a bunch of genres that people use to define their personalities, so to see it misrepresented and used as a gimmick they actually feel personally wronged.

I never said that they were posers, a poser is someone who is merely pretending to be something like a punk or metalhead when only having very limited and basic if not entirely misguided knowledge & taste of the music.

Not really, they came in a few years late to the nu-metal bandwagon with Toxicity and Hypnotize/Mesmerize, their self-titled album was pretty straightforward speed metal. Great, but not really unique or genre-defining.

Get rid of the live band band bring back babybones, and bring back the lip synching, so that their credibility in the metal world is ruined.

With that done, they can't perform at metal festivals in Europe or the Americas and even then with solo shows a good majority of their fanbase will immediately lose interest.

Now they can only play shitty anime & brony conventions, and their fame will be reduced to that of 2012-levels. Even within Japan, their unique selling point having been whitewashed, they will dissolve into a sea of other generic idol groups

But Road of Resistance is fun. Audience participation is fun, for both the audience and the girls.

Obviously that kind of thing shouldn't be their bread and butter, but having one crazy song like that is important. It's basically the perfect encore song to end the night with a bang.

Personally though, Akatsuki is my favourite song.

Road of Resistance is arguably their best live song. The "whoa oh" part is a very unifying thing for the crowd and the group(Kami band included).

Some songs are great live even if the song isn't amazing on its own. Like Death. Perfect intro, and RoR is the perfect closer.

I also think it's more than a simple nod to the west when it's their showcase song now(before was IDZ, also power metal).

>>13512251

Well it depends how you look at it. Megitsune is arguably the best from a spectacle standpoint, but RoR is a greater song for the audience collectively, with the WoD and the sing-along.

Anyway, it's all opinion, and I specified that it is "arguably" the best. I couldn't tell you what the best one is, there are a few amazing ones and every song is great live. Same with the songs in general. I was just basically trying to get the point across that even if you don't like RoR it's a great live song.

Depends what you consider real metal. Musically? They absolutely are and it is not debatable. The only song I can thing of that is devoid of metal is Uki Uki Midnight. This is made extremely clear when actually seeing them live and having the J-pop aspect almost drowned out by the heavy guitar and drums blaring throughout the entire show while the mosh pit is nonstop from start to finish with wall of deaths included. If you wanna call them pop metal or kawaii metal or something that's fine, but saying they aren't metal when that is the most prevalent part of their music is objectively wrong. And if you still disagree after what I said, I wanna know what you would classify them as.

not because of the jpop sound, but because the metal part is just playing pretend for them. babymetal is no more a real metal band than pastel wind is a real tennis club.

the operative word was 'real', not 'metal'. it is fair to say metal is a prevalent genre in their music, but the girls don't give a shit about metal. the metal is completely manufactured and the things that make them seem more authentic were still just implemented by koba to legitimize them. it isn't real metal as in 'it's not authentic' not 'LITTLE GIRLS AREN'T HARDOCRE ENOUGH!!!'

>I wanna know what you would classify them as.
pink metal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13514127
>manufactured
>authentic
But where is the line separating "manufactured" from "authentic"? You could easily find a good number of bands where the singer does not play an instrument, and with a little more effort find ones where he or she is not involved in writing the music or lyrics. They basically are a figurehead who acts out the lines someone else has written to the music someone else has written and performed. Just like the three vocalists of Babymetal.

And even if you take the darkest grimmest trv blak metal bands, once the show is over they wash off the corpse paint, go home to their families, put on their tracksuit, change studded combat boots for comfy slippers, and at the end of the day pop a beer on a sofa and relax. It's the ultimate make pretend.

So what makes Babymetal not authentic? Is it because their extremely talented and involved tour musicians aren't officially part of the group? Or is it because you can read into the minds of Su, Moa and Yui and you know without a doubt they care more about doing girly things rather than going in the woods wearing corpsepaint and acting like trolls?

And even if so - what do their personal lives have to do with the "authenticity" of their group being metal?

again, it's not because i think little girls are not hardcore enough, it's because it is 100% manufactured

>But where is the line separating "manufactured" from "authentic"?
i'd say when the band has no artistic freedom.

babymetal doesn't decide their outfits, music, persona, band members, labels etc... the only authentic thing i can recall is that the girls created some of the dance moves themselves.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13514201
>100% manufactured
But all music (in fact all art) is 100% manufactured. Someone sat down, scratched their head, and wrote and composed the lyrics and music. Then someone performed it in a studio, someone recorded it, mixed and mastered it, etc. It wasn't a divine intervention, but a human work from start to finish.

I get the argument that it's neither the girls nor the Kami Band being involved in the writing and composing process, but if you ever attended or even watched one of their concerts closely you would see how much personality and character both the girls and the band are putting into it. To more and more people BOH is literally the face of Babymetal, and the other band members are getting increased recognition too, and not only for their mad playing skills.

Babymetal wouldn't be Babymetal without Babymetal. It doesn't matter if they have a producer and agency behind them, they make Babymetal what it is and this makes Babymetal what you call "authentic".

[Anonymous No.]

Ah, I had a feeling he was talking about the manufactured element, and this guy who rebutted him hit the nail on the head.

At the end of the day you can argue this is Koba's group, so in that respect it is real metal because he is the brain behind it, and a legit metalhead. What's so wrong with a producer having a passion, and paying the people talented enough to realize his vision to do it? The reason I was able to get over the manufactured element so quickly is because of the authenticity of Koba, and just how fuckin good the whole thing is.

I personally hope for more creative control from them soon though. I think they are capable.

Oh, and being able to command a stage at a festival on the other side of the world full of metalheads who said they shouldn't be there and will throw shit at them and by the end convert the crowd and have them screaming "BABYMETAL" is pretty fuckin metal m8. They would never be able to pull it off if they weren't believable and ultra confident.
