I did forum search on this band’s name and they didn’t come up. If this nearly decade-old track with 141 million views is new to you then you’re welcome. You only get one ‘first time’ and even if the rest of your day is as routine as routine gets, you’ll remember this.
It is also fun to search YouTube for ‘BABYMETAL reaction’ to find posted reaction videos from people watching the above video for the first time as they try to figure out what is it they’re watching.
BABYMETAL did the above song on Colbert a couple years ago but it is best to find videos of theirs of live performances in Japan where they pack stadiums full of fans who are so tuned in that they’re practically part of the band.
If you haven't heard it, she covered Talking Heads' entire Remain In Light album. It's phenomenal, especially since that album was so influenced by afro-beat anyway, and then to bring it back around and have it be redone by the queen of afro-beat...That is outstanding. Thanks for the share!
I'll be sure to check it out.If you haven't heard it, she covered Talking Heads' entire Remain In Light album. It's phenomenal, especially since that album was so influenced by afro-beat anyway, and then to bring it back around and have it be redone by the queen of afro-beat...
That drummer is crazy good. Every beat felt perfect. Nice find.
I've got a drum-centric piece for you. After 26 years, Swedish band Kent decided to call it quits. Most bands will have their PR firm issue a statement or the band sends out a tweet. That is not what Kent did. They made this piece of performance art that I totally dig.
The various women being rounded up by death, the running dogs, plane, the locations, and tiger were from their album covers. The name of the track translates to "Then as now for all time". I wasn’t a fan while Kent were active, I can’t think of another band that ended their career with a statement piece quite like guys in Kent did.
