Albums/Singles / Re: How would you like your World Tour DVDs?

« on: February 18, 2009, 04:20:36 PM »

Maybe not highlights from each concert, just a selection of the best concerts of the tour. This would narrow down the amount of dvds(cheaper prize) and would improve the overall experience as you could see the whole show. I wouldn't say no to a concert in blu-ray too!

As darkcat said, first and foremost there are the older concerts, like the 1995 ones.

X JAPAN World Tour / Confirmed: X JAPAN to play at Paris, Bercy November 22nd

« on: July 10, 2008, 09:05:07 AM »

Hopefully the sale for the tickets will be announced soon. Anyone knows what kind of tickets are usually sold for Bercy? I mean are those all seated tickets where you have your seat, you number etc.. or is there also an infield (don't know the exact word in english *g*), where it is more like 'come first, be in front, party on'  :lol:

I look for some other gig in bercy, and it seems that it's first here have the better place for seat and pit !! But maybe it should be different for X.

I think they divide the tickets between seat and pit. Could change though

Toshi sings a bit in the style of the X days, rough voice. I fear a whole tour singing like this wouldn't be the right thing for his voice, we'll see. I'm not saying I don't like it, I like his X singing, don't get me wrong. It's just it's a way of singing that can damage the vocal chords with time if not done well.

I'm sure he knows about that very well, he's a professional musician/vocalist after all. If you watch Night Of Creation, you'll see that Yoshiki makes a few screams like "WE ARE, WE ARE" and he's hoarse before the end of the concert. Toshi keeps screaming in between almost every single song and his voice is just like normal when they leave the stage. It's all about doing it the right way and Toshi is very well aware that you need to put the pressure from your belly and not your throat.

This song didn't appeal that much to me but I _really_ hope to see more of this vocal style!!

Yeah, his voice in those concerts was great. I mean, he really screamed, and screamed, and after three days, he was at the same level or better at the last night. I remember one or two screams he did in Orgasm I think, really high ones. He's a trained singer so I suppose he does it in the right way, yes.

Thanks, but I still think that Kabe (or at least the version we have) sounds a little bit like a demo, especially the instrumental part (or my speakers are fucked up *g*).

It's not only you I think, it happens to me as well.  :lol:

I wish they would have done a better adaptation of the books, less mainstream. 2 hours movie better than one hour and a half. It's just that some of the movies delete so many information that appears in the book.

X JAPAN World Tour / [Rumor]Japanese newspaper says Tour in October

« on: July 01, 2008, 10:44:44 PM »

London? Ehhhhhh? Ugh even though I am in London and it would be easy for me to get to I sort of don't want them to play here, I can't imagine them filling a arena in London, plus people in London are pretty damn rude at gigs.

Come on! There won't be only Londoners there! People from all over Europe would come!

Well, I hope so...
I've been to alot of shows in London that were ruined by people just standing there with blank expressions not getting into the music at all, its annoying.

Sure people from everywhere will come..

X JAPAN World Tour / [Rumor]Japanese newspaper says Tour in October

« on: July 01, 2008, 10:17:51 AM »

Nikkei Gendai newsoutlet has apparently revealed X JAPAN's upcoming live schedule. According to their report the world tour will continue at the locations as planned this time beginning in London and Taiwan in October with performance(s) in Tokyo at sometime between the end of October to begin of November. Finally, they'll perform in Paris at the end of November.

In addition, the article said YOSHIKI is in good health.

The reason given as to why the schedule hasn't been officially announced yet is because venues are still being signed.

Other Bands / New Miyavi Song "Sakihokoru Hana no Yo Ni"

« on: June 30, 2008, 11:14:16 AM »

The Barcelona concert was filled of screaming fangirls, really annoying. The band was good, specially Saro, although Miyavi seemed a bit distant, he pulled out a nice concert. One minute before the concert they had a woman(might be working for the promoters, she was spanish) to go out and tell us that Miyavi specially requested that we couldn't throw anything to the stage etc.
