In 2016, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin caught a performance of Band-Maid in Tokyo and asked for a photo-op with their drummer, Akane Hirose. Reportedly he told her that she was like a reincarnation of John Bonham.
A growing number of American "boomers" who love hard rock are becoming overjoyed that there is a new generation of hard rockers coming out of Japan, of which Band-Maid is a shining example. But... but... they're girls... and some of them wear maid outfits... c'mon, how good can they be?
Damn good!
I had a video posted here of a live performance of a song called "Turn Me On", but that got removed from YouTube. So I'll replace it now with another live performance song called "Puzzle". "Turn Me On" was a great "old school" sort of hard rock song. "Puzzle" doesn't sound "old school" at all, in my opinion. In fact, I've sometimes thought that its composition--the way the vocals and the lead guitar fit together--may be the "puzzle" that the title refers to! So rather than "old school", this song is more like it is exploring some new ground for hard rock. At any rate, the puzzle fits together very well, I think, even if somewhat mysteriously. Enjoy!
