Albums/Singles / Re: JADE

About the chronic disease such as the cervical disc herniations and the vaginal synovitis｢It is safe. It is feeling because it strengthens the body that has been forged for ten years. ｣

Good to hear Yoshiki's vagina is still intact. Keep doing those kegel clenches, my boy.

It seems the overall reaction to JADE has been "meh". At least it's something I suppose. I still keep hoping for X to pick themselves up and get on with it.

It kinda sucks because May 2nd is the day after my birthday. However, I made an effort to "drink or die" in both celebration and memorium

Everyone at my party had their ears pumped full of Ja Zoo, that's for sure.

Someone on JRR said that they're suffering from not having a dedicated full-time guitarist and Jade is a perfect example of this.

You don't think Pata is one?

He doesn't contribute to writing the songs in the way that hide did.

So? He's still a dedicated full-time guitarist, and who knows maybe he will contribute more in the future, or Sugizo will bring up some ideas for future songs.

I think you're missing the point. I figured that people would be able to tell from the context that I was referring to hide's role which included writing/contributing to songs.

Wow. This sounds like an anime theme song or something.

In my personal opinion, it's like I.V. only bad. It doesn't sound anything like X-Japan and lacks personality and originality. Most of their songs you can listen to and be able to tell that it's them, wheras this sounds like it could have been written by anyone. There's no epic guitar riffs and it's lacking the uber minor chords I've become accustomed to. Yoshiki drums like it's a ballad though I'm guessing it's supposed to be a rock song. Someone on JRR said that they're suffering from not having a dedicated full-time guitarist and Jade is a perfect example of this.

So yeah. I consider it to be completely forgettable and not at all X. Just my two cents.

So... are the rumours about Heath leaving true? I passed it off as mindless tabloid drivel at first but I'm seeing a LOT of comments from fans about it. This is utterly discouraging.

Also, AGAIN cancelling so close to the date? I hope you guys didn't buy plane tickets...

Aussie Aussie Aussie! (Man, that is so turn-of-the-millenium.)

I hope you have fun in Korea! I'm very pissed off that our dollar is so crap against the yen (and everything else) right now, otherwise I'd go and see them again in May. It's been a year since the March concerts and the vibe has worn off ;_;

But yeah, even if they went to Singapore or Indonesia it would be good. I really wish they'd venture south of the equator. Sugizo came here that time... maybe he told Yoshiki how awesome we are.

I fear that as well... I really can imagine how cheap this tee shirt will look like: a totally white one,
with boring printed letters: we <3 hide -_-....

I SO hope that I'm wrong!

I wouldn't trust anyone working on hide merchandise ever since that awful "I'm undressing you with my eyes" bust statuette came out...

Week End's guitar solo is extremely good.

Ah, true. I also like the piano/bass solo towards the end. Sadly they usually leave the piano part out of the lives for obvious reasons ^^;

General chat / Favourite interlude?

« on: January 23, 2009, 09:01:59 AM »

I wasn't entirely sure how to articulate this, heh.

In all of X's songs, what's your favourite instrumental solo/interlude/etc? I refer to things like Yoshiki's infamous AoL piano solo XD

For me it's the rousing guitar-led instrumental in the middle of Forever Love. The dramatic melody combined with the steady underlying piano just stirs my soul for some reason. It's so emotional and heartfelt, then softly disperses back into Toshi accomponied by piano. Epic.
