Babymetal (where nu metal meets J-pop)
Original post
Posted by bj_waters, 20.03.2012 - 01:36
It's like the worst parts of nu metal and J-Pop were blended together. And if you think this one was bad, watch the other one. Just wait for the "rap" segment. You'll know it when you see it.
inb4 Japan is weird. This goes beyond "weird;" this hurts. The thing is, I like some J-Pop (mostly because I like electronic music in general), and I like heavy metal (obviously), and I even wouldn't mind if there wasn't some kind of fusion between the two, but it would MOST DEFINITELY NOT sound like this. This is just painfully bad.
Nevertheless, my opinions aside, what are your reactions?

Japanese execution in anything are always praises for sheer overrated respect whether its technology, infrastructure or whatever. but when it comes to Music? Maaan! we ought to need to take it seriously. They gotta great ass talent and this "babymetalfuckocrap" is no exception. #Respect(Eh?!)

Utter shit, but inevitable. I comfortably predict: it will get worse  (however, 2'05 - 2'36 of the second video is actually pretty good, if you ignore everything but the sound)
---- Yeah. No. Wait, what was the question?

Written by Guest on 22.03.2012 at 16:04 That video is actually 1000x better than the whole shit of japanese baby metal. Why? Because it's not serious. It's a joke and they know it's a joke. On the other hand... that awful shit of "babymetal" takes itself seriously.

Honestly this is the kind of thing that's so like, so 100% bait for sarcastic comments I don't even know. What I always wonder about is why there's like half english writing in Japanese shit, it's like *##&%$@& Records... What's the point of saying records in English if you aren't gonna put the name of the record company in english? I don't know man. This is pretty weird though, like I find it difficult to imagine being a human being anywhere and getting enjoyment from it, but them Japanese people I guess....

Written by Mattybu on 23.03.2012 at 04:47 The bit before Records is Juonbu. Actually, just type babymetal into wikipedia and it'll tell you all you need to know. Basically, it's an offshoot from a manufactured Japanese Idol band. That says it all, really. The guitarists on the first video look like they really love Wes Borland.

Who the fuck cares?! Or should I ask, why the fuck do any of you care? It was funny...not in a funny because its metal sort of way but funny because its not metal at all. Let them fail at being metal.

You know, I've always felt J-Pop should be heavier and metal should be more danceable. Ergo, this band is the fulfillment of all my dreams.

Even Marty "J-Pop lover" Friedman has said that he doesn't like this, I think that says it all!

Written by Angelic Storm on 05.12.2012 at 09:17 Is there a source for that? I'm not trying to put you down, I'm just curious. That certainly would say quite a bit.
