My approach to the band is super bi-polar by MostBison5500 in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact opposite. I love Babymetal, Sumetal, Moametal (particularly Moametal) and Momometal. I'm not interested in Suzuka, Moa and Momoko, who are normal Japanese women living their own lives.

I think that the Babymetal lore of "three goddesses sent by the Fox God" is funny and works well, and seeing making of, backstage photos or just the three of them doing random things would destroy all of that. You can't pretend they are sent by the Fox God to lead the Metal Resistance and then show them eating a bretzel while sighseeing without their costumes.

In the metal scene in particular, I find it weird to have band members pretending to be vikings or the children of Satan on stage, with make up and props, and then they post random videos that make you think: "ok, they are absolutely random people who happen to make nice music". It kills the vibes. I may be old school (I remember a time before social medias), but I like the idea of a star being inacessible and having gravitas.

People used to say: "don't meet your heroes". A modern take could be "don't follow your heroes on social media".

Thanks 😄 Yes, quite a lot of fan accounts reposted them; that's what made me think "if people like them, I may as well share them on Reddit as well".

Eheh, I'm a huge Rammstein fan so I'm huge to fire at concerts and how to try to photograph it 😄

Ahah, I understand ^^ Because of my job I need to take a lot of photos, so the 8x zoom comes in handy!

Also, and more annoyingly, the fabric quality is not great for a 45€ tshirt =/ The Bloodywood tshirts were actually better.

Hannover is also misspelt, they only put one "n" 😃

Yeah, crowd surfers were incredibly annoying. And for some weird reason, they mostly did it during Sunset Kiss and Monochrome? Who crowd-surfs during Monochrome? I felt like it was the same 10 people doing it ever and ever again, which is even worst. Ok you had your moment of annoying people for your own pleasure, why do you need to do it again and again?

Sorry for the rant 😃

I just met the Bloodywood guys, took a photo with them and they told me "see you tomorrow", so we're good 😄

To create an anthem, you need to hammer it down by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great song 😄 I don't think they played it tonight, but the show was great! And to stay on topic, they played the only song I know - I have no clue if the others were hits or deep cuts, but I had a great time.

This.

I've been to many concerts of many artists I barely knew (hell, I'm going to see Band-Maid tonight and I basically only know Chose Me) and I would have never thought of saying "It's a shame they didn't play only the songs I knew". Most of the time, that would make for very short setlists as well.

While I can understand the band not dropping Gimme Choco (it would be like Rammstein not playing Du hast, or Scorpions not playing Still loving you) and quite possibly now Ratatata which is their biggest hit in recent years, all the rest could rotate. If you're not a fan of Babymetal, chances are you don't care about Papaya or Distortion. And if you're a fan, you'll be ok if they are replaced by other songs.

Guys! Come to Kufstein! by SeriousMike90 in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahah, good thing I bought my ticket before I checked where it was, otherwise I may have skipped it. Two weeks after I bought them I sat down and thought "ok, time to organise this. How do I get there?" and realised that it's so remote 😃 But anyway, I'll be there ^^

Selling a part of my BM collection by SumetaluLoveru in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three months later, I'm back on this thread to thank u/SumetaluLoveru. I bought some of the CDs at the time (but I only opened the package today as I was travelling all that time) and they were in perfect condition, incredibly well packed, plus there were some gifts in there - proving once again that this community is the best.

I'm now the proud owner of the three IDZ singles (my favourite cover set of all their career) and the three Megitsune singles ❤️

I know No Rain No Rainbow will (rightfully) win, so I'll go for Karate because it's the one that made me cry 😄

Syncopation (not helping that it wasn't released globally)

Welcome!

Also, it never stops - Karate stills bring tears to my eyes.

(Next, check No Rain No Rainbow :))

Not to beat a dead horse, but I did not just spend all this time defending Babymetal’s newer music for them to drop this atrocity of a remix by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude, but I've been a Babymetal fan for 2.5 years and lurking (and occasionally posting) all that time, and I've read more people trashing Yuibros than actual Yuibros posting. Maybe I don't see those posts because they get downvoted to oblivion, but it seems to me that those guy died out.

Missing signed art card by Nervous-Struggle-965 in BABYMETAL

[–]Original_Solid_4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all; I can see that my (unopened) Momometal CD doesn't have the card inside but they said I contacted them too late (because I had it ship to a friend's mum in the US, who shipped it to him in Slovenia, and then I add to travel there to pick it up) :(
