One of the most pleasant surprises of the rock imperium festival for me was the band love bites, and no don’t get me wrong, not because I didn’t know about this band or haven’t heard their music before, I knew that live bites is one of those newer bands that drives simply incredible music which a fan of classic heavy metal like I am With virtually hundred percent certainty is bound to enjoy, yet the energy power, and the aesthetics of love bites on stage simply left me speechless… and this of course was something that I absolutely had to tell the girls myself after the show.

These girls are pure gold, the future of heavy and power metal for sure. Love them so much.

Thank you for highlighting LOVEBITES so well - saw them one week ago in Belgium and it was a dream come true - I've been listening to them for five years and never thought they would come back to Belgium again! As I was part of the venue staff, I've seen that they're totally genuine, unpretentious and adorable people too. They deserve all the praise and love from the metal world!

[ChuckJansenII]

Very cool that you got to see the festival and Lovebites. Even better that you were able to meet them and interview Asami and Midori.

[TheCyberMantis]

I love all the exposure Lovebites is getting on this tour. This is exactly what they needed!
Wolfpack is growing faster now. Lovebites are the queens of metal! 🤘🏼🐺🤘🏼

[magrildz]

the queens are here!
Absolute ADDICTED to Lovebites, can't wait til this tour hits South America.

And seeing Midori mention Kiko Loureiro makes the Brazilian here smile with joy.

[andreaspedersen]

So happy you gave them a chance, and watched them in their right element.
Though I like their studio material, I feel, just like Rush, it's on the stage they really shines.
One of the fiercest double leads in the business in Miyako and Midori, very accurate harmonies that gives association to Tipton/Downing and Murray/Smith. Just with some more "flair".
When the original bassist (Miho) left because of personal reasons, most fans feared she would be hard to replace. Fami stepped in, and many realised she was a known YouTuber and went in seamlessly though she is +10 years younger than the rest of the girls.
Probably the happiest bassist I've seen in a while. Haruna... one of many extremely talented female drummers in Japan. Keeps pace with most males. Asami.. Great singer. And by some called a female Bruce Dickinson!

I'm very happy that Lovebites are getting more and more attention. They more than deserve it. They are opening a new era of heavy metal. Glory to the Wolfpack

Great interview and welcome to Lovebites !!

[ChadTheDragonLord]

Great video and interview. I am so glad you created this.

[TheCyberMantis]

Midori and Asami are so adorable! 🥰
It was cute how Midori was explaining the tour name: "thin line between love and hate".
From what I have seen so far... no hate, only lots of LOVE for them! ☺
At the end, Asami said she wants to tour with Judas Priest and maybe sing "Painkiller" on stage with them!
That would be AMAZING. 😍

A few years ago I wouldn't have dared to hope that one of the younger bands would come along again and play classic heavy metal with 2 absolutely top lead guitarists. And then came Lovebites.🤘🤘

[alexblane-layder]

thank you so much for this feature - they deserve all the exposure they can get

[kowalsolosolo]

They are currently the best power metal band on the global scene.

[anthonypowell]

LOVEBITES brought me back to heavy metal!

[rafamiggawkaklimek]

I have been a fan of Lovebites for several years. I realized a long time ago that when I reach for their music, in an overwhelming number of cases I open YouTube and watch concert material. This is a great concert band that multiplies the power of its music when it plays live. That's what I felt while watching YouTube. A few days ago I did something I promised myself - I took the chance and saw the girls on stage in real life. It was a small venue in Milan. The fact that the club was small was an advantage. The atmosphere was as if I was moved to the early 80s and watching Iron Maiden in some small club. There was so much freshness, sincere emotions, enthusiasm, joy in playing and receiving music. Priceless. Without a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The small club (Legend club) worked well, but these girls' place is on the biggest stages, stadiums and concert halls. They really deserve it.

[Alex-wfpx]

They are awesome. Glad they are on a big tour.

[kungphu]

Wow! I’m impress with both of their English skills. Hope they do more interviews like this. Rock on 🤘 LOVEBITES!

[stevored]

I came across LOVEBITES via magazine article saying which bands to look out for, prior to the release of their second album, which said for fans of Iron Maiden, Helloween & Stratovarius. I thought I'd give them a try and searched for them on youtube and listened to a couple of songs and immediately fell on love with them, and was annoyed I didn't know they existed. They have been on my play list ever since.

[ragmanx]

It's been easily over a decade since I've been this obsessed over a band as much as I am about these young ladies. They're seriously monstrously good, and I have no doubts they'll only get better with time.

[gordonnottsfinest]

1 week and and I will get to see them live, it's crazy to think that the ladies of #lovebites who play such powerful music on stage, are such beautiful souls, the contrast between them whilst working and chilling out and relaxing is staggering, and shows just how professional they are. ❤️🤘🎤🎸🥁🎹🐺🇬🇧
