Um, what exactly did my post have to do with the old albums? I simply responded to someone saying that Yoshiki would not let Sugizo improvise, that's got nothing to do with my opinion on the old songs vs new, think before you post. I will say now that any of the old metal songs that Yoshiki has ("claimed to have") written all the guitar parts for, I did not see any improvisation going on in the old lives either.
Anyway, what is going on with that Rusty Nail video, that is NOT the studio version, I don't know if they're performing live there, or if its a version from one of their reunion lives they're lip-synching to, either way, Its the sound of current Toshi giving a performance that's not as good as the studio version and that had better not be used for a Rusty Nail rerecording.
Seriously I have no idea what was going on there, the second verse/chorus was cut out for some reason, Toshi's singing was nowhere near as good as the studio version so what do they think they're doing? What was that video about?
