I challenge our metal fans to try something new

[Nick R]

I have a challenge for those that have an inclination to metal, or maybe just those who might want to try something new.

I'm not the biggest metal fan, but Babymetal is growing on me, when she starts singing, Su has a [censored] good voice, and I can appreciate the rest, and the choreography and production of the music video is amazing. I'd encourage you to listen to the whole song through at least once. You can expect to see them on The late show on April 15th I hear.

Not that I hated it, But not the kind of Metal I listen too, It has a Pop vibe to it. And that is fine...It Sells!

 

[daves87rs]

Not bad....heard them before. Like to hear different stuff....

 

[NMBurb02]

It wasn't too bad...until she started singing. After about 5 seconds of that I had to shut it down. I like metal but that was definitely not my cup of tea.

 

[dishdude]

That's actually not bad. You might like Rise Against, I think they have a popish kind of modern rock metal sound to them.

 

[02SE]

It doesn't do much for me.

 

[bvance554]

I didn't want to like it, but I kinda did. I heard another metal band from Japan that I liked recently... I just can't think of the name.

 

[RooflessVW]

Vocals killed it.

Rise against kicks [censored].

If you want some good metal, Lamb of God just released a new one.

 

[dishdude]

Babymetal was on Colbert tonight performing gimme chocolate.

 

[Olas]

Clutch, Mastodon, Ten Foot Wizard, Orange Goblin, Kyuss.
Anything Doom, Sludge or Stoner.

 

[xxch4osxx]

I'm a metal fan 100%, but that just isn't for me. I'm more into Five Finger Death Punch, Rammstein, Hatebreed, Slayer etc.

Just another Japanese girl band thrown together by some producer. Created to sell their panties in vending machines to perverted businessmen.
Right in there with the other 177 of them:

The vocals were just overpowered by the instruments, to my ear.
Barry Manilow and Art Garfunkel would not have been good metal vocalists, either, not an anti-female thing here. Need a gal with some growl and/or guts to her voice to match the power chords, like a Joan Jett or Amy Lee from Evanescence.

Ummmm...where does one find such a vending machine???

 

[RedOakRanch]

Call me old fashioned but little girl vocals and a metal beat don't compliment each other. I liked the instrumental side.

Japan.

Nick,
it's much better than the robot superstars, and I find it decently tolerable in comparison.

 

[hatt]

How is this metal? It's like having Taylor Swift in a metal band. Doesn't fit.

Agree. I was digging the music until the vocals came on.

 

[gathermewool]

The lead singer is good, but the addition of little-girl-sounding side-kicks is not appealing. I can see young'uns and old men finding them appealing.
