That name is fitting. Only babies would consider that metal. Just because you have a heavily distorted guitar, does not make it metal. I had the misfortune of seeing that shit band live, I went to Heavy Montreal in 2014, to see an awesome lineup of bands like Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Lamb of God, Twisted Sister, and way more awesome heavy metal bands. It was an insanely good lineup, with the exception of the fact that Babymetal unfortunately was there. I don’t know what the fuck the event organizer was thinking, you have like 40000 Slayer fans in the crowd and fucking Babymetal comes on in their pink tutus singing in that fucking annoying high pitched anime voice. I don’t think there was anybody at that concert who actually enjoyed that shit, I think most people would have rather listened to nails on a chalkboard for the length of the set. I was just waiting for it to end so a real metal band could come on stage. I don’t care if you like Babymetal, to each his own, but don’t EVER compare it to Motorhead, that’s just a huge insult to Lemmy. I’m a metalhead, I love metal, and that is not metal.

TL;DR

Babymetal sucks, babies might like it but it’s not very metal.
