Anyone heard of this band? The only song I know so far is "The Revenant Choir" and I think it sounds pretty cool. Okay, the Outfits (especially Hizaki) are a little bit over the top for me, but as long as I dig the music everything's fine.
The band consists of
Kamijo – vocals
Hizaki – guitar
Teru – guitar
Jasmine You – bass guitar
Yuki – drums
And their first EP "Lyrical Sympathy" will be released on October 31th.
Here their first single:

So what do you think about them?
-
I'll have a look once I'm out of work. I think I saw them somewhere and liked them, though. :)
-
Wow. I was quite stunned, I expected some Dir En grey -copy #762, but instead that was bloody good. Sounds quite X influenced, in a very good way, and the guitarists seem quite skilled. Really, I loved it. And the frontman was great, a very charismatic and a mysterious person, too bad his singing style is exactly the same as almost every singer in Japan. I will definitely look more into this band. Thanks.
-
So, home from work and now I preordered "Lyrical Sympathy" at amazon. Seems, that the european Version of the album includes some kind of bonus-dvd, nice. :wink:
By the way, here's a little preview for the CD, where you can hear samples of some of the songs.

-
Hey, they are really good! And I agree with Hurley, definitely there's some X-ish influence. :D
-
Some people say "The Revenant Choir" sounds like "Silent Jealousy", but i wouldn't say it sounds exactly like that, perhaps some small similarities. What I think sounds more like X is the double-solo between Hizaki and Teru.
Here all the members on one pictures, from left to right:

Jasmine You, Teru, Kamijo, Yuki and Hizaki
EDIT: And a TV-report about their first live performance (too bad I speak no japanese, yet *g*).

so are they all dudes or are there some chicks in there? I cant tell :|
-
Unfinished: Unfortunately though, the market seems to be full of narrow-minded fools and fangirls these days. They are more likely to get recognised as "OMG AN AWESOME VK BAND!!! LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THEY ARE!!" than the great musicians they are. They are pretty damn awesome and I do agree, the look doesnt suit the music at all. Much like older Galneryus. Their look was a bit.. different.. and I dont think it really suited their power metal style.. and after a year or so they must have realised that and now they just dress in "normal" clothes, nothing over the top and no VK. Thats what these guys (or girls?) should do.
-
I have to agree, their look is a little over the top for me, too. But I wouldn't say it doesn't suit the music, as far as I know, the founders of the band Kamijo and Hizaki said, that this band trys to include beautiful music and style (however the style remains a matter of taste *g*), so I understand why they dress as they do (but I wouldn't mind if the would dress more usual).
And by the way, they are all male. :wink:
-
Some people say "The Revenant Choir" sounds like "Silent Jealousy", but i wouldn't say it sounds exactly like that, perhaps some small similarities. What I think sounds more like X is the double-solo between Hizaki and Teru.
From my point of view the solos are the one element that tells X and Versailles apart. HIZAKI and Teru do more shredding where as hide and Pata play more melody parts. Intro guitar riff and the drumfill sounds totally like a Silent Jealousy ripoff from as well as HIZAKI's intro melody. And what about the pattern they play when Kamijo starts to sing? Exactly, the same pattern X uses in Silent Jealousy, Dahlia plus many others. :)
So it's a SJ ripoff for me. They song sounds kinda good though. These GUYS can really play their instruments. If their material and Kamijo's voice were more original I'd be their fan. :)
-
You're right, hide and Pata had less shred in their solos than Hizaki and Teru in this one, but I didn't only mean the type of playing but more the "Guitar Player 1 Solo" followed by "Guitar Player 2 Solo" and then "Guitar Player 1 and 2 Solo".
But it seems that I have to listen to the song more focused and after that to Silent Jealousy :wink:
-
I don't really care if it's a rip-off (unless it's plagiarized). It sounds good and it's enough for me, and I could say that this song is one of my favourites by now. The only effect of the song being quite unoriginal is that I can't think of the songwriter as a genius or anything. The song is something that has been done before, but gives me the kicks nevertheless.
And the looks, well, the singer is quite cool, but everyone else is just awful.
-
I agree the singer looks cool, and everyone else bad, but the singer is the only one doing his part somewhat poor ;P
Nice song though.
-
Regarding the looks, imho Yuki also looks pretty normal and even Teru(compared to Hizaki and Jasmine You :wink: )
I'm really looking forward to next week when the album will arrive (I hope so), and after that I'll write a review.
EDIT:
So, I had the chance to hear it earlier than I thought and I have to say the album (or let's say the EP, cause imho this is not a full album) sounds pretty cool. Some tracks sounds a little bit similiar to others, but after listening to them a few times you can really hear the differences.
If it's okay I'll upload some tracks the next hours/days/weeks when I got time.
EDIT: And I know I said they don't sound like X, but after listening to them more often and to more tracks, I have to agree with Keppikeksi.
EDITEDIT: So here you can take/hear a closer look at the songs, if you like them and you've got some money on the hand buy the album. *g*
Have fun:

Here a link to the video of their new single Shout & Bites

Cheers Matthias, I'll check it out soon :D
-
Well, I'm not the biggest VK fan, but I really like Versailles... All the musicians are very good, especially the guitarists... On the "Lyrical Sympathy" EP (I think it's an EP too...) there are some pretty good songs, but "The Revenant Choir" is still my favorite, even though I agree that it's a "Silent Jealousy" ripoff...
The only thing I dislike in this band is the singer's horribly annoying voice... An instrumental track by them would kick ass...
-
I just was in Versailles (the castle in France ;) ) on Thursday. There are renovation works there atm so it's not as cool as it might be but still... I'd love a house like that :D
And the band itself is really great also :)
-
The only thing I dislike in this band is the singer's horribly annoying voice... An instrumental track by them would kick ass...
I get used to Kamijos voice and by now I really like it, and he seems to be a really good frontman with a lots of charisma.
By the way, there exists a Revenant Choir Track, which has almots no vocals, I'll upload it tonight.
-
After Phantasmagoria ended activity i thought
"damn there isn't really any more VK bands out there i like
(aside from the occasional listen to vidoll or 12012)",
but then I saw Versailles.
The Revenant Choir is a great start for them, and I really like their style.
Definitely gonna get their album.
-
So, here is the link to the almost-karoke version of The Revenant Choir

If I'm not mistaken that are the pictures which you can also find in the booklet (to lazy to take a look *g*), but thanks.

Live in concert: Versailles!!!
A-Kon® will host the North American debut of the sensational new Visual Kei band Versailles on Friday May 30th in Dallas at the Adams Mark.
The convention will also host question and answer panels with the band followed by autograph sessions during the weekend of the convention. Versailles is presented by Tainted Reality.
So perhaps someone lives near Dallas and can go to see/hear them, I would but it's a little bit to far for me. :lol:
-
Also from JRR
Versailles in Europe: March/April 2008!
Popular visual kei band Versailles will be debuting in Europe this coming March/April!

-

Yaay, and they DO come to munich! Unfortunatly, two of my friends, that like versailles aswell, can't go..... And I don't want to go alone?? T_T
Is anyone else here attending the concert in munich...? <_< >_>
-
I'll go to the munich concert, so If you want we can meet there.
-
So, just ordered my ticket. Matenrou Opera will open for Versailles by the way.
EDIT:
Just found this clip of Matenrou Opera on youtube, they sound fine for me:
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=_aRux5_CyXc
-
So, just came back from the concert, and it was pretty cool. The only thing that sucked was, that absolutely no cameras were allowed, so I couldn't take any pictures. :( But on the other hand, I won a meet & greet with the band, so after the concert I had to wait (with 4 girls) for about an hour before the band came to us, shake or hand, talked a little bit (well, the little bit I can talk in japanese), sigend a poster and then we said Dscha matta. Unfortunatley, we weren't allowed to take pictures with the band, but I have a signed poster, bought a t-shirt (with is way to big, so I'll have to find a way to make it smaller *g*) and a cd. Cool evening, great concert and when the come to germany the next time I'll be there again. So, now I try to get perhaps 4 hours of sleep and then it's again time to go to work, yay. :wink:
Bye the way. Hizaki and Teru gave me hugs during the meet & greet, guess I should think about what their intentions were. :lol:
-
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWNNNNNSS*
Hello, hello! Actually I'm back home since 0:45 but I really was to tired to write then (And I had to get up at 5:50, too x_x)
But I can only agree with Matthias! The concert was great!!! :)
Matenrou Opera was much better than expected, too! :3
errr, let's get back to Versailles :P
The really really really really rocked! And their new costumes are fantastic (It really was a pity that pictures weren't allowed, as I was 2nd row in front of teru and jasmine :'( Sooo pretty!)
Umm, also, sometimes you cold barely here Kamijo :/ And the few people who attended the concert sometimes were louder than the band XP
However, I don't want to comlpain LOL The concert was awesome! Kamjios Solo, aswell as Yuki's drum solo and the hizaki's grace project part (I think it was??) were really special and great, too!
and now that was a weird post, I'm sorry :P *is still half asleep*
Congratulation to you, matthias! :) I forgot to watch out for you, actually I wanted to say hello to a fellow X-freak! >_<
Ps: The merchandise was $%&/$§" expensive!!! :( And on top of that I forgot my money at home *HEADDESK* T_____T
-
Matenrou Opera was much better than expected, too! :3
Yes, I really liked them, too. But I think the keyboarder is really really short, not that japanese people are famous for being tall, but he looked like a 12 or 13 year old boy to me *g*But that doesn't matter, they rocked.
the hizaki's grace project part (I think it was??) were really special and great, too!
I think it was Race Wish (think I've posted it on the first site of the thread), but am not so sure about it anymore.
The really really really really rocked! And their new costumes are fantastic (It really was a pity that pictures weren't allowed, as I was 2nd row in front of teru and jasmine :'( Sooo pretty!)
Right, their new costumes rock, Teru's haircut looks as if he has been in some Dragonball manga *g* Talkin about Dragonball, do you have any idea what Kamijou was talkin about at the beginning, I just understood thinkgs like Dragonball, Kakarotto and Vegeta, but I had no idea what he wanted to tell us :lol:
You were in front of Teru and Jasmine? well, I was on the other site, right in front of Hizaki in the 3rd or 4th row, there weren't many rows behind me, so you can imagine that not really many people were there, perhaps 150 max I would say, that's really a pitty, cause they were great and I really hope they will come back to Germany soon.
Congratulation to you, matthias! I forgot to watch out for you, actually I wanted to say hello to a fellow X-freak! >_<
Well with my casual look I would have been easier to find then most of the other people there *g* But we'll meet in Paris I think, won't we? :wink:
Ps: The merchandise was $%&/$§" expensive!!! And on top of that I forgot my money at home *HEADDESK* T_____T
The prices weren't funny anymore. The ticket wasn't that cheap, 35 Euo, I saw Alter Bridge (which are way more famous ihmo, for 24 Euro), but I thought "Well, japanese Acts seem to be more expensive, don't mind". But the merchandise was really expensive. T-Shirt 25 Euro, okay, that's standard, but a poster 10 Euro, some pictures 20 Euro (at least I think) and the damn "A Noble was born in chaos" CD which includes only 3 tracks: 30 fucking Euro!!! :lol:
-
I missed them in Sweden, I ouldn't go to Stockholm that day.
Ah oh my god, they played Race Wish and I missed it?! T_T
I really love Versailles (with an exception from Kamijo's vocals, he was much better in Lareine), and I've been a fan of Hizaki for even longer.
-
That;s really cool that you got to the concert! ^_^ I'd love to see Versailles and Matenrou Opera too since they're really great.... but west Europe is not that near... >,>;;;
I hate money... T_T I never have enough to do what I want. *sigh*

And? How was your concert, did you have a great time?
-
Race Wish is so cool :wink:
Holy shit!!! :shock: Hizaki's incredible! Like... wow. I love when guitarist can make his guitar sing. :D It's beautiful!
-
Yes he is *g* and I'm really excited when the news spread that they will perform at the hide tribute concert.
And here something I got at the concert, but I do not want to show off :wink:
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/MatthiasLechno/IMG_0033.jpg)
-
^Haha, lol, that's cool... :D
-
Saw them in Barcelona, great concert. Matenrou opera did a good job, interesting music and great entertainers. Versailles were great, the crowd quite on fire, and the band too. Hope they come again soon :twisted:
-
Hope they come again soon :twisted:
I hope that, too, perhaps when their first full length album was released *hope so*.
-
I just started to listen to Versaille on the advices of some certains persons :D
It's REALLY great !!! Seriously they are really good !!!
-
So, there is now a release date for their first full-length album. Noble will be released on July 9th (well that's what is planned *g*), so now I'm curious what "specials" the album will contain, like a bonus-dvd etc..
-
So that's what I call a high budget PV :lol:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNTQl5uLxGs[/youtube]
It's from their Urakizoku tour documentary DVD which was unfortunatly only sold during the gigs in japan.
-
Yes he is *g* and I'm really excited when the news spread that they will perform at the hide tribute concert.
And here something I got at the concert, but I do not want to show off :wink:
You are so lucky! They are such talented musicians, I hope to see them live one day too.
-
LOL Matthias, that video is really awesome xDDD
Thanks a lot for sharing! :D
-
You are so lucky! They are such talented musicians, I hope to see them live one day too.
I hope to see them again soon, too, and I'm sure you will enjoy their show when you see them.
LOL Matthias, that video is really awesome xDDD
Thanks a lot for sharing!
There are some clips from their tour-DVD on youtube, when I'm back home I'm gonna take a look and post them here. I would really pay some money to get this DVD, hopefully it will be released soon for the public.
-
Not more tour-clip videos (yet *g*), but something other I found:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfvkGQ6NdCM[/youtube]
The Revenant Choir - hide memorial summit
I'm a little confused, thought their performance would not have been broadcasted, but of course I won't complain *g*
-
Hmm thats weird yeah I didn't think they were showing any of Versailles stuff on the coverage, must have just been that then. Awesome video though thanks for pointing it out Matthias, can't believe the crowd aren't into it though, Versailles rule!
-
Versailles RULE and that's all there's to it 8)
Thanks for the link Matthias :wink:
Ah and btw the show in Paris was a blast,the crowd was really into it and you could tell the band was happy because of such a great reception.
They even repeated The Revenant Choir to thank the audience.
One of the best show I've ever been to(and I've been to many)
8)
-

It's going to be a good album, for sure. :twisted:
-
I'm really enjoying this band. I really want to go up to A-kon this year and see them. Hopefully after all I did for my friend, she will give in a go with me to this. Although I put on The Revenant Choir one day while she was in the car and she was like are we listening to some audio book..haha.
-
I asked CLJ Records if it was possible to put the old version of TRC on NOBLE too and they answered "we'll contact them about the old version" and today (at least I noticed it today) they announced on their website that TRC (Original Version) will be the bonus track for the European version of NOBLE!
:D
-
Versailes are always very generous with their fans :D
-
So I have to buy the asian (already preordered) and european version of Noble I guess :D
-
Just got an email from CDJapan, the release date of their CD changed from 09.07.2008 to 16.07.2008, so one more week to wait.

Take one for me :D
-
You can pre-order Noble on www.cede.ch !!!
It says the release date is 11.07.08 !
I guess I'll pre-order it. Cede.ch usually sends the CD before so you get it on the release date !
-
That's also the date listed on amazon.de, but in one of my previous post it was stated that it was pushed back (or the information there was wrong, don't know *g*)
Whatever, this seems to be the Coverart of the CD (also from amazon.de):
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/MatthiasLechno/versaillesnoble.jpg)
EDIT:
And again some changes, found at the homepage of my friends from http://www.dead-orchestra.net/:
2008.06.27 ~ one last change for NOBLE
The iTunes release of NOBLE has been brought forward to July 9! Moreover, according to CLJ Records the album will be released in Europe on July 16.
The DVD tracklist has been also revelead via Versailles' official homepage:
1.Prelude
2.Aristocrat's Symphony
3.Episode
The first Japanese press will come with a 32 page photo booklet

You're right, hide and Pata had less shred in their solos than Hizaki and Teru in this one, but I didn't only mean the type of playing but more the "Guitar Player 1 Solo" followed by "Guitar Player 2 Solo" and then "Guitar Player 1 and 2 Solo".
The X guys didn't invent that you know. :wink: I could name you dozens of bands that used the same kind of solos and are older than X.
Anyway, the track I heard (Revenant Choir) sounded pretty okay. I didn't really like the solos, but the harmonies were cool and some of the riffs sounded good too. The only things that annoy me are the singer and the outfits (they fucking freak me out!! I mean, dressing like 80s glam bands is one thing, but completely looking like a fucking chick is just plain weird). So they should get a good singer that can hit the high notes and doesn't sound like an old crossdresser with throat cancer and lose the outfits and dress a little.... errr... manlier (SPANDEX!!! :mrgreen:).

Yeah I know that, it was just an example where I see the similarities between X and Versailles, but at the moment I have to admit that The Revenant Choir really sounds a little little bit like Silent Jealousy.
You're right the costumes (especially Hizaki) freaked me out at the beginning, too. But after some time, seeing them live and watching their videos I really dig the outfits. But I totally understand if someone doesn't like them :lol:
Here one track that shows another side of Versailles music, written by Teru it sounds a little bit more "rough" compared to their other stuff:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kihRWv74Q5s[/youtube]
-
This track is called Zombie, right ?
Well, I really like Versailles' outfit, it wouldn't be the same if they just wore some normal clothes. It's really original, it's not only music, they really built their own little world !
-
now that cover reminds me of Malice Mizer with Gackt....
Versailles rocks nonetheless. Will probably get the cd and I hope that there'll be a nice live DVD someday...^___^
-
This track is called Zombie, right ?
Correct Sir. :wink:
-
Trailer/Prelude for Noble is online:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7fg7YVJLjw[/youtube]
-
The trailer looks like it was supposed to promote a Moi Dix Mois release or something like that :)
Really like it and anxiously looking forward to the full-lenght :twisted:
-
Soundsamples are available here (http://versailles.syncl.jp/?p=shop&id=10075&af=), thanks goes to dead-orchestra.net.
-
GAHHHHHHH I hate teases.
-
I prefer teases instead of nothing :wink: but you're right, I also want to hear the album right now, hopefully it will arrive as soon as possible.
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I bought it :D Well, pre ordered it ! I hope I'll get it tomorrow !
On their myspace you can listen to lots of new song, I haven't though, I want to hear them on the CD first !!!
-
NOBLE is a f*****g masterpiece :twisted:
"windress","After Cloudia","Antique In The Future" and "History Of The Other Side" are my favorite tracks on the album.Also,"The Revenant Choir" has improved and it sounds damn good!
Now I can't wait to watch the PV for Aristocrat Symphony :)
-
There's suppose to be some big announcement from them today. They posted a myspace bulletin about it. I'm wondering what it is. It says that Tainted Reality will debut Noble at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific and the announcement will be somewhere on the website.
-
Blah, tainded reality always air when I'm in bed lol
Oh well....
However, I'm listening to the pewviews on repeat at the moment. Those songs are so awesome! O_O
I really have to get around preodering that CD!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
I already have it xP Antique in the future and To the Chaos Inside kick some serious ass!
Was this released earlier in Japan, or was it leaked, since it's already been available on jpopsuki for a while?
-
Probably leaked, I guess. :/ Well, I don't download stuff so I have to wait. XD
*waits...waits...waits...* e.e
*listening to the previews again*
<3
-
I have the link to download the CD, but I want to wait. It's been such a long time that I want to WAIT for a CD that is actually released (*lookin' at GNR*).
I haven't even listened to the previews. Too bad I already heard 3 of the songs that I downloaded some months ago when I was just discoverin' this band.
Versailles is gonna be big in my opinon. Please, BVtE :D
-
Was this released earlier in Japan, or was it leaked, since it's already been available on jpopsuki for a while?
If I'm not mistaken it's on ITunes since yesterday, so it was just a matter of time before you can find it on any tracker.
I really hope the album will arrive a few days after it is released, but I also decided to listen to it now *g*
-
I never find links to download cds before they come out. Which is good because I like to be surprised. Although it does kind of suck when others are talking about it and you wish you could be too.
-
I already have it xP Antique in the future and To the Chaos Inside kick some serious ass!
So, after listening to it for a few more times I have to agree, these two are at the moment my favorite tracks, but I also dig the others, great album.
-
I already have it xP Antique in the future and To the Chaos Inside kick some serious ass!

Yep, definitely, the re-recorded version of Revenant Choir is also just awesome! 10 x better than the older version :P The only song I don't really like, is Episode. The piano work in it is good and all, but the melodies aren't really appealing to me, the vocals are a bit too tame, would've needed a bit more expression of emotions or something :P Also he sings something like "oi kakataa" which sounds like "oi kakkattaa" in finnish, and it means "oh I need to poop" :P
-
Right, the new Version of 'The Revenant Choir' sounds awesome, and Antique in the Future is also pretty cool, has a nice riff.
-
I just downloaded the new Revenant Choir and it sounds great (except I'd hoped that they'd put it all into japanese :? oh well, trifling..), I want to wait for the actual CD before I hear the rest, though it's gonna be tough waiting. Five days until release then about the same for delivery, it's too long!
-
I just realized that my copy will probably get here while I'm in Nevada :(
Hopefully it comes before but I really doubt it.
-
It's a good debut album for Versailles and there are some real gems to be heard on the CD. As always, Teru and Hizaki are fantastic in their guitar playing, Yuki's drumming is solid and powerful while also a base for Jasmine You to work fantastically with.
My only crticism, which is something which I maintain and have said from the first time I listened to this band is: PLEASE stop being so cheap and have a real orchestra play the orchestral parts - computer generated VSTi's sound rubbish and cheesy. Such elegant and beautiful instrumentals deserve the timbre and emotion which a real orchestra would provide, these coputer generated sounds not only bring the production values down, on this, an otherwise fantastic sounding album, but also sound generally rubbish.
:D :D :D :D out of :D :D :D :D :D

I agree, but I guess they aren't superstars enough to afford a real orchestra :P (or a good orchestra)

Orchestras are expensive, yes, but not bank-breaking. Look at Toshi, all of his solo work with Masaya has real string sections included, and lets be honest about this, the "Healing World" label surely doesn't have a great deal of profit attatched to it :p
Even Yoshiki uses computer generated strings these days - see all of his Violet UK stuff and even I.V. for details :p
-
EDIT: Thanks! :)
-
Who knows, perhaps in the future they'll play a concert with a liveorchestra, would be pretty cool.
-
Alright so I gave in and bought it on Itunes as well. Now just gotta wait for the actual cd. Zombi and To the Chaos Inside are probably my favorite. I love Yuki's drumming in these two. Zombi just makes me want to dance around.

How do this album sound as a whole? A lot like the older version of The Revenant Choir (which I thought sounded pretty good) or more like that Zombie track (which I think sucks, it sounds like fucking Pantera!)? Or is it a kinda eclectic affair?
-
Here's the AWESOME PV for Aristocrat's Symphony:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7gzrEHi44c[/youtube]
-
Thanks for the info the Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7gzrEHi44c) is really cool, although it's not my favorite track of the album (but still a good one) and I think Yuki looks really badass with the blonde hair, thumbs up.
-
The video looks really awesome! :)
And I agree that Yuki looks great with the blond hair, much better than the black at the beginning..! O.O
..And I still didn't get around odering the album >_< Only some days left until the exams are over, then I'll have time for that...*listening to their myspace in the meantime*
-
Well you know what you have to do, get up and order it ;-)
I found an interview where they talk about idols, goals and food (but it's an old one, just after they started, Yuki has still his black and Kamijo his long hair).
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=ESH18YeuTXU[/youtube]
-
I guess I'm the only one who wasn't blown away by that video. To me it just reminded me of The Revenant Choir's PV way too much. I mean I know their songs are telling a story but they should break out a little more.
-
I really liked the PV too ! It's good, not incredible but good !!!
I can't wait to get my copy of Noble... now my order is written as "late", so I have no idea when I'll get it :'( I still haven't listened to anything of the new album (well, except Aristocrat Symphony, Suzerain and Zombie that I got when I started to listen to Versailles, I didn't know those were new songs).
-
Noble arrived today! I'm only a little way through, but it sounds awesome already. The intro track is VERY Rhapsody-esque.
-
I just learned about this band, thanks to -dice- !
Great stuff..
watching Versailles - [PV] Prelude ~ Aristocrat's Symphony
They sound like bit like X and have intense solos
-
I was just wondering what you guys think of Noble. I got Lyrical Symphony, and it took a while to get into due to the fact that I thought they all sounded rather similar, but i enjoyed it nevertheless.
-
Noble isn't that similar sounding as Lyrical Symphony but of course you can hear that the songs are made by the same artist *g*, I really like all the songs, but it have to admit that I seem to prefer the ones made by Teru.
Just found these two videos on YouTube, seems that the whole hide memorial concert of Versailles is online now, enjoy it: (including The Revenant Choir)

^Cheers, I'd seen The Revenant Choir one, but not the others. Merci beaucoup :)
Noble arrived today! I'm only a little way through, but it sounds awesome already. The intro track is VERY Rhapsody-esque.
I had intended to elaborate on this and edit it with thoughts once I'd listened to the rest of the album, but didn't ::). Meh, ah well, I think Noble is an awesome album. It has far more "depth" than Lyrical Sympathy, much greater variety, Kamijo's singing seems better, and the guitar work sounds infinitely better, it's better altogether really. Unlike almost everyone else, I don't like Teru's songs that much (not that I DISlike them, I just prefer Hizaki's and Kamijo's), my favourites are Antique in the Future, Windress and History of the Other Side.
Oh, and The Revenant Choir. I love the remake ;D
-
The Love From A Dead Orchestra is just amazing... really... this song is just... wow ! Thanks for the links Matthias !
I got to listen a bit more to Noble, and I have to say that I really like History Of The Other Side and Antique In The Future, still too soon to talk about the others though.
-
Any Idea what Kamijo is saying at 4:32 (I'm talking about Love from a Dead Orchestra), something like 'Great to be here,...' or something completely different?
-

Yup, gotta agree. I just found out about this band some time ago but im def. hooked already.
-
I listened to them awhile ago, really dont like the singer at all, but Hizaki is an amazing guitarist.

Heh, I think his engrish makes those songs pretty good.. or sorta unique but I do understand if people don't like it.

Due to legal conflicts with a US artist with the same name, Versailles are going to change their band name in order to keep on performing their activities overseas. However, the band is going to keep the base "Versailles" and just add one more word after it.
The five members and thier management will be accepting suggestions from fans via e-mail according to the procedures below.

Versailles Japan!
Or V Japan!
(I'm so good :D)
-
I thought of Nobles de Versailles (but I guess it's not very original).
So I'd say "Blop de Versailles" OR "Pompom de Versailles".
Still not sure which one of those I'll suggest 8)
Oh, btw, it's a pity they have to change their name... :(
-
Versailles Rockz! Period! ;-) That's gonna be the new name, well, except the 'Period' *g*
-
Why not with the period? I hope your going to suggest that one too them :D
I thought of Nobles de Versailles (but I guess it's not very original).
imo that's pretty good :) It's going to have to be "something de Versailles", maybe Chateau de (or would that be du ???) Versailles ? I think they called one of their Japan tours that. It's silly that they have to change their name >:(
-
Hmm I hope they come up with a good name.
-
Versailles Japan
Hey, you're stealing my idea!!! XD
But well, it really sucks that they have to change it.... Hopefully they'll come up with something nice >_<
-
"The Versailles" ;D
-
Dead Orchestra could be a good name

Dead Orchestra could be a good name
Is that some sort of a joke or inside thing of the band that I don't know of..?

That's some part of the title of one of their songs.
EDIT: And just in case you haven't heard it yet, here's a sligthly longer version of the hide memorial concert than the one I have seen till now:

new band name and new song
Versailles is going to be temporarily called Versailles Philharmonic Quintet during its activities in the United States. The news has been officially announced at midnight at their official site (you can read the full announcement in Japanese here (http://artist-society.syncl.jp/?p=diary&di=48225)).
In addition, a brand new track has been distributed for free at the twoman concert with chariots in Osaka. The song is titled PRINCE and has been composed by HIZAKI and KAMIJO.
You can download the full song at Versailles' official website:
http://versailles.syncl.jp
Source (http://www.dead-orchestra.net/versailles/home_en.php)
So I'm curious if that's only the name during their US stint (how it sounds to me) or if they decide to keep it.
-
Woohoo, that's for the news, matthias! :)
I hope they won't keep the name....it's WAY too long >_<
Okay, and I can listen to the song...but how is it downloadable? x.x;
-
Okay, and I can listen to the song...but how is it downloadable? x.x;
Didn't find out myself *g*, yet ;-)
-
Haha, the crappiest band name ever :D And I'm sure it's kinda meant to be crappy since it seems to be only temporary :P
-
temporary is good !!!
They need to find something else....
and you can download PRINCE over there : http://marumusic.com/free_download_1.php (http://marumusic.com/free_download_1.php)

Prince sounds okay for me, but for now I don't think it's one of their best songs. *Let Teru write more songs *g**
BTW:
Versailles announced three releases for October:
►Versailles' first photobook: featuring photos from Versailles' first European and American tour. It will cost 4,000 yen and will be released in early October. An overseas release is also planned.
►NOBLE (second press): due October 22, it will come with the bonus track "PRINCE". However, the bonus DVD and deluxe package of the first press won't be included.
►Lyrical Sympathy (second press): due October 22, it will come without postcard and but will have a different cover art.

Thanks for that ;)
From the message on that page (lol at BEARUTIFUL ROSES mispelling :D), Versailles Philharmonic Quintet doesn't sound very temporary ::) I wonder if they'll just adopt that for the rest of the world.
Edit: Just from one listen, Prince sounds really good to me. I love the guiter solo section.
-
...Versailles Philharmonic Quintet doesn't sound very temporary ::) I wonder if they'll just adopt that for the rest of the world...
Maybe. But honestly I really don't mind that much, at first I wasn't that happy about the name (and still could think about a lot of better names *g*), but at the end of the day it's only a name and Versailles is still in it, so I'm just gonna call them Versailles *g*
-
Versailles Shashinshu Philharmonc Quintet arrived today and there are some really cool pics in it, also from the munich concert and even two small pics of the meet & greet but you can't see me damn it ;)
On 10th december their new single Prince & Princess is gonna be released and there are different versions for each bandmember, so I guess I'm gonna order the Teru one.

Posting it here, as some of you may know Jasmine You passed away last year and for the upcoming tour they recruited Masashi as their new (support) man at the bass. Here a link to his blog: http://ameblo.jp/masashix/
-
thanks Matthias.... i am also fan of Versailles !!
-
i love this band
-
i love Versailles as well. I love their songs "Serenade" and "The Revenant Choir".
-
http://www.tokyohive.com/2010/09/versailles-welcomes-masashi-as-their-6th-member/
It seems like Versailles has a new bass player!
^_^
His name is Masashi.
-
Although they have a new bassist, Jasmine You will always be a part of the band, as the group say that Versailles will consist of 6 members instead of the original 5 in Jasmine You’s memory.
sounds familiar, doubt they'll do any more "hide" on Jasmine You" than that though
-
Versailles has a new single coming out, Philia (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/PytJTGW7Lok/1175/A190521/search3.html?q=versailles+philia&media=&r=any&step=20&order=score), to be releasedon March 16th, this year!

-
lool, I dont know what it is but it seems to be funny and crazy xD Kamijo looks kinda strange.. and great ^^ But this "We are... " :DD
-
The "We are Versailles" is nothing new, he's saying it in almost every interview ;)
But a V-Jump would be funny. :D

i like versailles since i heard the revenant choir, but i'm really looking forward to this album. i think, with the new bassist, their music is even more powerful and a little bit heavier, what i really like :)

True, seems that the bass got more prominent after Masashi joined the band.

the preview looks funny and reminds Jade a little bit ^^ But I'm looking forward to see the whole PV.
Kamijo seems to come back to his Lareine-style, I guess
-
I like them. Sometimes I want to hear how they would sound with Toshi on vocals.
-
Full PV has been leaked:

Matthias, ThanX for posting this, do like it very much, I love videos telling a little story
-
Matthias, thank you again! I've just been wondering whether I could see the whole PV soon, and here it is, what a nice surprise ^^
It's a bit weird that the vid is mirrored, but the sound is great
-

Here you get it non-mirrored and in a little bit better quality. ;)
-
oh, the mirrored was an accident, I was wondering if it was like that or if it should be something like artist-expression ;)
-
It was propably mirrored for copyright reasons, so YouTube won't take it down so fast.
-
Masashi showed real technical proficiency on this song.

Damn, they just keep getting better and better :D I really hope they will tour north america at some point in the future :/
-

i love live streams :D
edit: hear the new album at the moment, this song is so beautiful!

wow Versailles is doing good. I like the solo of Teru in Vampire. Looks like he switched amps from Hughes & Kettner to ENGL (probably a Savage like hide had).
-
thanks for the updates ^^ It's kinda weird to hear Kamijo singing in English. Anyway, sounds nice
-
yeah kinda weird, but surprisingly good, the lyrics are awesome.
the new album is really great! buy it :D
-
I loved Kamijo's "Engrish" in Love Will Be Born Again.

here we go... ;D
-
Thanks. Don't know yet if I can make it, neither Cologne nor Berlin is really that near.
-
Matthias, nimm einfach Deine jährliche Grippe im Oktober :P
-
und komm nach köln!:D
-
Glaub das kommt nicht so gut, wenn ich da daheim bleibe ;)
Anyway, IF I'm gonna go to one of the gigs I tend more to the one in London or the Final in France.
-
Argh, why can't they do the one in London a couple of days later or the ones in Germany earlier? Sometimes I hate the way I'm living...
Considering my luck I'm surprised I didn't miss X as well.
-
And 10th october in Poland, it's ToshI Birthday, also K.A.Z, from Vamps and Naruto hah
-

-
anyone here who will go to the colone gig?:)
(yay my english sucks today :D:D)
-
and anybody for Berlin here?
-
Versaille in Berlin - what a gorgeous show, it took place in a nice and cosy venue, good filled with friendly and relaxed people, on stage beautiful men in wonderful costumes making quite good rock music, a lot from their new album, it was awesome, after that a short meet and great, nice fan service - arigatou gosaimasu guys
-
Just have to say Versailles is a damn amazing band. Revenant choir has that X japan style in a song that I so dearly miss from our X boys. Definately a super epic song. Versailles is right up there with X japan for me. They simply make amazing songs, and really create that atmospheric feel + they are technically amazing. Gods Palace, Princess, Aristocrats Symphony, Revenant, Faith and decision, Destiny the lovers just blow my mind to pieces @_@. Love their look too, definately easy on my eyes
Gods palace - the intro verse with the acoustic guitar part - OMG, whole song brings you through a huge range of feelings from dark to happy to magical (near the end lol)
Aristocrats symphony - the drumming on the first verse - @_@
Revenant choir - the intro
Destiny the lovers - hibiku.......
BTw i am so jealous you got to see them in Berlin...what I would give to see revenant choir and aristocrats live...
oh another thing since I dont hae many ppl to talk to versailles about. Kurenai is one of my fav songs of all time, musta listened to it atleast 1000 times over the years but revenant choir is right beside kurenai for me in terms of most epic song ever. Definately nottttttttttttttttttt a rip off as some ppl said 4 years ago :)
-
I'm very big fan of Malice mizer so IU thought that Versal. will have similar music, probably because of they outfit (i know it's silly), but thye definetly dont similar, only from they clothes XD I didnt know they have Kurenai song ?! I really like Hizaki's guitar he's good >.< and I like his dresses also XD

Oh nooooo... What's going on? Are they serious?! Damn, I've totally forgotten to check out any news recently, 'cause I'd supposed the band is fine and is working on new material or something.... It would be really sad if they stop their activity T.T
Anyway, thanks for sharing the information.

-
So sad =( It sounds positive though, that they will do 'separate activities' and are waiting for support. But they've been such an unequaled band. The only one of its kind, I'd say.
-
Hizaki is one of the last guy wearing dress in nowadays VK (>.<) and Kamijo was always for me just another Gackt XD
-
yeah the dress :D :D maybe they come together again with suits, that would be awesome :D
-
hopefully it´s only a break the need, the last posts of some members where more like catfight, so I was thinking, OK normal for a girls band :P, but we will see :)
-
I wouldn't be surprised if that'd be the end for good ... and if that's really the case I at least hope that some of the members decide to participate in future projects together.
