Yoshiki / Re: Under the Sky Roadshow
« on: January 08, 2024, 05:40:47 AM »
Is it worth watching?

what would it make worth watching for you and what not?

Why not? I always liked Yoshiki's music, would it be rock or classical, and his collaborations with other artists.

It's an unique chance to see him in a full performance on stage without TLRS.

The title itself reminds me the story and inspiration of the band's first times ('We are X': 'everything is possible', 'everything fades out in this world but pain never disappears...', the sense of loss of what you took for grantede etc.).

I know it's just an illusion, but I think it will work anyway (if you bypass Yoshiki's 'prima donna' attitude and the past 20 o 30 years of blablabla, of course  ;D )

I'm afraid that Yoshiki is completely exhausted both physically and emotionally
In his latest images on social media he looks completely drained out

he posted something on twitter, if it's not a fake account it seems that his american manager also died...  :-\

seems it's not a fake

 "I am confused as to whether I should be writing this message as YOSHIKI or as the leader of X JAPAN."

of course, it's understandable

I want X Japan to be remembered for their music not for being "the world's unluckiest band".

Yes, thank you for having shared these words <3

Today’s news has been a shock to all of us. I had no idea Heath was sick, and this is no doubt a tragedy. My heart goes out to his bandmates, friends, and family. 55 is far too young.

I really want to just thank Heath for an incredible career. Heath’s importance to X Japan cannot be overstated. He was a key band member that spent years contributing to the finest metal band in Japanese history.

It is incredible that his first project with the band was “Art of Life”. It’s my favorite X Japan song (one of my all- time- favorite songs, in fact), and it really is amazing that the first thing he had to tackle was a 30+ minute metal- opus! He then obviously recorded bass for all of the Dahlia songs and held down the fort for all the gigs and for the legendary Last Live. I am glad he got a second stint with the reunion, too. I am hoping we get to hear his final recorded parts with X Japan, someday.

I am happy he got to play with Yoshiki one last time, recently. That will go down as a very special moment. It is heartbreaking he said he hopes the band could play Tokyo Dome again, and I hope they do in his memory. hide and Taiji have gotten many tributes from the band, Heath no doubt deserves the same.

Life is short, even if they never play together again I hope the rest of the band can make amends again and find common ground. X Japan has always had a lot of darkness surround it for some reason, but it always found away to push through and make something beautiful.

Thank you, Heath. I hope you rest well.

We are X.

thank you for these words, absolutely agree

I would like to post his part in 2017 live Acoustic Tout but I can't find it

let's remember him with one of his performances

...and so he keeps on giving it all beyond his limits. Yoshiki is always Yoshiki under any point of view; like Pata said once "he hasn't changed that much" ::)

"Oh my god, what a sad story
The two of us on a lonely road
I don't know what I wouldn't give
To get back, back in your arms
When the day is over

Ask me why I lied to you
Isn't it obvious you don't like the truth?
Hey, common sense won't cut us of the way
You'll know that I've been standing right before you
Scared to breathe in case you blow away
Any day"

Apart from us nobody seems to miss X Japan :-\ . Anyway this is not an X Japan project.
As a matter of fact the band doesn't exist any more and I think the breackup between Yoshiki and Toshi is final.

Toshi was not called because he would answer 'no' or Toshi was called (I don't believe it) and answered 'no', or Yoshiki simply doesn't want to involve Toshi in his projects and in his life anymore.
What we see is Yoshiki doing his things and the other members doing theirs.
I think Yoshiki keeps in touch only with Sugizo - and perhaps sometimes with Pata - (but Yoshiki / Sugizo doesn't mean 'X Japan').

Anyway I miss Toshi all the same, but I'll get over it  8)
I'm curious to see the live show and I'm happy the movie will come out.
P.S. I don't miss Marilyn Manson ;D

General chat / Re: Did Toshi screw up X Japan again?
« on: May 15, 2023, 10:09:32 PM »
agree with 99% of the above; this said, just one more thing:

from the very beginning, Toshi was probably the only one in the band who cared about the future;
all the other members (perhaps Heath a little less, idk) were alcohol addicted and/or absolutely reckless; probably he had a different approach to life that collided against the "aesthetic of destruction" of the band.

This could have been the deepest root of subsequent disagreements. Perhaps he was also worried about the future of his bandmates and friends... while they seemed completely detached from the matter.

he paid a great price trying to find "what he was looking for"... without finding it, and now, after Red Swan e many other things probably Yoshiki-related, perhaps he wants only to be "a singer" and I can understand him.

He did his mistakes as well and should clear his position once for all, if possible.

Of course I don't expect anything more from the band, but anyway I agree that they should really release the phantomatic kept-in-the-tabernacle album, closing with dignity the magnificent circle that long long time ago they were once able to draw. (period. in the meantime retirement is approaching ;D )
