Well, since they HAVE to play Rusty Nail, Jade, Born To Be Free, I.V., X and I guess Endless Rain....that hardly leaves room for many changes. The ones I can see being changed are Silent Jealousy and Art Of Life...? Kurenai is more than likely staying too.
Also, I prefer Silent Jealousy over Weekend since I think it has showed up in lives a lot less times than Weekend. (not that I was counting so....).

Agreed, if its a chance to have Silent Jealousy played at a live that i'll be at, then yes, Silent Jealousy first.

They could also replace Drain with Week End. I wouldn't mind that.

Hmm...I think Drain stays as a sort of hide song? Maybe they could replace Drain with Scars for example....

It would be awesome if they played Week End

It annoys me that we even have to say that now.

"Well, since they HAVE to play Rusty Nail, Jade, Born To Be Free, I.V., X and I guess Endless Rain....that hardly leaves room for many changes."

Or they could have 15-20 songs on their setlist, as every other rock band their age touring does, if its Yoshiki's neck problems that prevents that (which is most probably the case) then I don't blame him for that.

"Hmm...I think Drain stays as a sort of hide song? Maybe they could replace Drain with Scars for example...."

Well there's a a small chance they've redone english lyrics for Scars for this tour, but that's a small chance, and if they havn't they'll definatly be keeping Drain for the whole tour because its already completely in english.

roseofpain84 · **Reply #34 on:** September 29, 2010, 02:06:13 AM

Hmmm...true, the fact that Drain is already in English does make it more likely to stay.
But well, they played Silent Jealousy in Japanese right? Only the intro was in English as I understood.
And Endless Rain wasn't translated either...
I think if they are indeed changing the set list Dahlia has pretty high chances of showing up too...

denx · **Reply #35 on:** September 29, 2010, 02:25:38 AM

the most possible thing is they add another ballad or CRUCIFY MY LOVe (all in english) ,

While its true that its a hide song, but its the fact that Drain isn't as much of a regular song as the rest of their catalogue. So if a song were to be edited in the setlist, I would think it would be Drain they replace.

If its a hide song to have included, it would be nice to use Celebration, but seeing that they can't use his image, it wouldn't be the same, lol.

I'd love to get all worked up over this, but I have a TON of work and should probably sleep before it ends (especially if it ends as late as the last one did).

It's just because it's a Tuesday. I'm really curious about the setlist though, and I'm absolutely going to be refreshing twitter. I'll be there in spirit. X!

Following tons of people on twitter.

VE just ended (apparently the drummer yawned while they were playing)!
Twitter is waiting for X now.

Haha he yawned. I haven't heard a single positive thing about the openers so far.

Looks like a decent sized crowd I suppose. Someone heard them practicing Art of Life, so I'm guessing that'll be the last song.

@AR3Y0UAWAK3:Jade, Rusty Nail, Drain, and now sugizo on violin. :DDD. Sound was off on drain though.

I'm personally disappointed about the sound...

So now, violin solo, violin+piano, Kurenai!

@RichardHaick:
Wow, X Japan puts on a great show. I am a bit let down that the guitar solos are a backing track.

I don't see any hide in the pictures, either... Sucks to have a backing track with no visuals.

@Ar3Y0UAWAK3
This crowd is laaaaame

--one minute later--

@foxoakland
Hands down the most enthusiastic crowd we've ever had here.

Haha!

Yeah, me too... It even looks like they're wearing the same clothes!! Maybe I won't keep up with the next live so closely if it's going to be the same setlist.

Drum solo now!

Agreed! I'm gonna be at the Roseland Ballroom one, and I'm already a little disappointed that there won't be any surprises (which is my own fault, really), because I feel like in the old lives they always used to change up songs here and there on the setlist. I was holding out hope for "Weekend" or their new "Blue Blood" or something....Oh well...

denx · **Reply #54 on:** September 29, 2010, 06:02:09 AM
