I had the same metalhead reaction to BABYMETAL the first time I heard them. Little girls who don't play instruments caterwauling.. Years later, BABYMETAL came up in my youtube suggestions. I thought...ok, Ill try it for real, and gave them an honest listen.

I was hooked. Their drummer is amazing. Bought all 3 albums. Kicked myself for judging them too quickly. It helps of you listen to songs other than Gimme Chocolate.

As for the gatekeeping. Its true. People see or hear the name, and begin rattling off the reasons why only their opinion matters. Like it or not, they are a true metal/hard rock band. A lot of metalheads forget that metal was all about breaking rules...even its own.

They do not play concerts with. backing tracks.

I will be there Sep 8 in Pitt.

If you like BABYMETAL, give BAND-MAID a try.
