A cover of the song BxMxC by Babymetal, from the Japanese edition of their album 'Metal Galaxy'.
Now this is probably a lesser known Babymetal song, but it's without a doubt my favourite off the album, and an even better song live!
For those who might be interested, this song is originally played on a 9 string guitar, but I did a little trick here which Mastodon use a lot (7 string tuning on a 6 string)!
So the guitar is tuned C# B E A D G B E, which is tuning the 8th string down to what the 9th string would be, and missing out on the 8th string entirely, with the bass in standard 5/6 string tuning playing in the same octave as guitar for that chunky sound!
Also you may have noticed a missing D string, which I snapped just before shooting the video, but I didn't it for the song anyway!

The original is very weird vocally, even for Babymetal, so the idea here was to do all screams (since the original isn't exactly that melodic anyway) and perhaps get people to appreciate the band, regardless of whether or not they enjoy the vocals!
I tried my best, but considering I don't speak Japanese and I'm sorta scream-rapping here, it's pretty damn difficult!
If you don't like the vocals, that's fine as there is an instrumental version coming next week, but try and appreciate what we're going for here!
