I'd say it's about the shoots in January as well.

Which means between glorious black eyeshadow and lipstick, not to mention frazzled black wigs, we won't recognize them anyway. Look to the boobs! Maybe that way we would be able to tell the difference between them. lol. Srsly: There were so many model/actors on that shoot, these were likely just two. I follow one young man on Twitter since his posts about being in the shoot. He was fun and vibrant, having a fantastic time, and his comments and photos were posted from the inside http://twitter.com/DaviAlvarado Shots of him from that night were far more the lean, mean goth machine we expect from X, but like all models, he is a chameleon.

It MUST be X!  :D I mean, which other band's name could fit, really? xDDD (or maybe I want it to be X... >_>)
I wish they would just announce it already... I hate having to wait!  :-\

I'm at my wits' end.

You know... I wondered for a split second if I had ever heard of a band called 'Y Spain'. xD
And now I can't help thinking that sometimes the name 'X Japan' can really sound stupid.   :P

The people over on the official Lollapalooza board have been working hard to figure the lineup out, and this is what they think the official lineup will look like:



They've got a decent mid-tier slot and will probably get an hour in one of the afternoon slots :D

Festival tickets are always very expensive, and that's why I rarely attend these kind of events... But if you see, let's say, 10 concerts in 3 days, and the 3-day ticket is 200 USD, then you only pay 20 dollars per concert, which isn't that expensive. Anyway, let's hope that the NY & LA tickets will be cheaper!  :)

If their predictions are right then X-Japan have put themselves right before Kasabian from what I can see, I don't follow current mainstream music at all, but aren't Kasabian like the most famous rock band currently out right now? If so isn't that a very risky position for X to be putting themselves in? There could be impatient people just waiting for Kasabian.

^ so the order the names are put is the order in which the bands will play? I thought they just put it in random order... *confused*

It's not in order, Lollapalooza has two main stages and two smaller stages near the main ones (only one band playing per a pair of stages (main+secondary), so there won't be any clashes between the bands). The list more-or-less reflects how big/famous the bands are and you can guess from the bands postition when he's going to play, but there is no way to be sure before ~ June, when the official schedule is released.

And the ticket is not that expensive if you consider that X charged half that for only one of their concerts, but you can see tens of bands for that money. :)

Kasabian aren't that big in America compared to UK, but X Japan still have a fairly good spot in my opinion especially if the final act on that row is indeed AFI.

Lollapalooza isn't expensive at all for what you're getting. Based on the predictions, there are at least ten bands that I want to see and some of those acts (like X for example) charge a lot of money for their individual shows. X cost me $170 in Hong Kong and that was face value. Lollapalooza and other festivals are all about having an amazing weekend with lots of people, lots of bands and lots of fun.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that ^^

They released the letter "I" today thus eliminating the possibility of it being "P Diddy" rather than "X Japan" :P

Just a little FYI regarding the Jade video.

According to Dean Karr's facebook the video editing is now completed and the finished version handed over to X Japan. To quote Dean "That's a wrap X Japan!!", he also stated it turned out to be "the longest job in history" and also expressed his gratitude to X Japan and Yoshiki for choosing to work with him.

21 pictures from the new Rusty Nail video!

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=16638&id=100000262959184

EDIT: The pictures are also available on the website of the production company - http://www.bairdfilm.com/DESIGN/X_JAPAN_VID.html

Everything you can expect from a contemporary X Japan video - fast cars, pretty ladies, lots of glass and metal. Looks kinda VUK-ish to me!


And a long overview of the PV with concept notes and tons of pictures and information:

Hohoo, thanks Hypno! 8)
Though the facebook link didn't work (anymore?). Maybe she has set it private.

The second link was kinda interesting in many ways. Haha.
Especially that storyboard with reference pictures (GaGa XDDDDD).
Yoshiki's theme is kinda... ironic. All neckbraces and hospital stuff. :D

Tried fixing the FB link. If it still doesn't work, try looking for a user named Ekaterina Zenova, from Archangelsk, Russia :)

Nope,  but these are from the new PV for sure! Some of the scenes are the same.

I can still access the album. Can you search for the profile (Ekaterina Zenova) and then try to access it from there?
