    BAT-METAL (Tuesday, 26 July 2016 08:29)

    This performance is hands down the coolest thing I have ever seen! I am so happy for you BM! TOTALLY nailed it. You came out as a real rock band. Improvised a little.. And MOA IS ALMOST WINDMILLING!!! She's going to start windmilling at Tokyo Dome please please please! It looks like she wants to hit the strings, but not so sure yet? So awesome. I cried!

    I was already freaking out by how amazing Su-Metal was on stage. 9again).. she seems so so so happy! Then Moa and Yui come out on the little guitars and I seriously almost died of a heart attack. 3/4 scale custom metal guitars! Oh my God.

    One note, the Cameraman, film editors, whoevever, where horrible! Nobody knew what to point the camera at. Hoping BM camera crew have their own footage..

    Are the BM admitting that Rob Halford has been heavily involved in BABYMETAL this whole time? It said right on the little animation after Karate and before Painkiller - "The meeting of the Metal God and the Fox God is NO COINCIDENCE"

    When Su hits that final high note in Painkiller, watch Rob! He's like 'Su totally nailed this, check it out h8rs!'

    Rob, you are just a total hero for helping out this band,. HERO..

    ROCK ON LADIES!
