Yoshiki / Yoshiki in the top ten of Best Rock Drummers!

« on: May 21, 2008, 07:22:25 AM »

That list's about the best technical drummer, the best favourite drummer, the best drummer in general....? :?

I mean there can be many bests, Neil peart is great at creating rhythm patterns but he isn't a speed technical metal drummer. Both kinds of drummer has got it's own difficulties and complexity. I like the way that Yoshiki develops his solos, his passion and all that but technically, there are better drummers(although technically he's good)which doesn't mean faster drummers. Being a drummer myself, I can say that playing at the speed he plays for such long time in each concert, is quite an achievement.

Got a Sonor drum kit, started like 6 months ago. I'll try to get a M-audio Axiom keyboard this summer, so I can compose and play with the computer. You guys have got some great equipment  :twisted:

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..

It's going to be a good album, for sure.  :twisted:

Other Bands / ...but they're legends!

« on: May 14, 2008, 08:00:06 PM »

Pink Floyd: I liked the Laser show vid from the 90s, but most of their songs... well ... People say that The Wall is a classic, but I dunno why....

Nirvana: the unplugged MTV event was nice, but overall, I never understood their fame...

Dir en Grey: well....what can I say.... Not my sound

The wall was an album by Roger waters, he did it all. He was quite a dictator back then. The real Floyd classic, also their best selling and one of the best produced albums of all time, is Dark side of the moon, you can also try some progressive gems like "Shine on you crazy diamond" or "Echoes", these pieces are far from the conceptual music of The wall. There's also their psychodelical period. :wink:

Nirvana, don't like them much too. Neither Michael Jackson and all that poppy stuff.

Iron Maiden is a bit overrated, they've done such great records and are a energic live band but they tend to repeat themselves.

X JAPAN World Tour / X Freaks Paris meetup! Suggestions and ideas please!

« on: May 14, 2008, 07:49:28 PM »

From Barcelona to Paris is at the moment so cheap (flying with low cost company).

I've been looking today some and the cheapest was 60€ go and return with ryanair, but it goes to a secondary airport so then you have to pay the bus to arrive to the center of Paris...

Does Ryanair arrive to Helsinki?

I think all the flights of Ryanair are located in Girona(secondary airport, city near Barcelona). They take off from there, and arrive there.  :?

General chat / How long u expect that X Japan will exist after reunion?

« on: May 03, 2008, 01:56:19 PM »

Heath and Pata could still go on for a long time, but I don't imagine Toshi and  Yoshiki at his 60 playing at the speed of X. I mean, Yoshiki because of his back problems and age, and Toshi, well, with age all the singers loose register, it's a natural process. I don't know really, just speculating. As long as they have energy...

Yoshiki / Yoshiki has a new girlfriend?

« on: April 22, 2008, 04:18:48 PM »

Is it just me or does she look very Angelina ish?  :shock:

Lol yeah I thought the same thing. XD I've seen photos of her where she might as well be Angelina Jolie's little sister. o.o

Anyway, I'm going to do my best to translate the article with my mad Spanish skillz. XD

I'm going to go ahead and caps-lock all the mistakes I notice, too. XD

"The Japanese SINGER Yoshiki from X Japan prefers blondes".
The famous Japanese SINGER has been seen repeatedly with the model Julia BOSS (I found out her last name is actually "Voth").

Apparently the leader of the band X Japan, Yoshiki wants an American "sentimental companion" (yes, those are the exact words used. XD" I take it they're implying "girlfriend", though? o.o). The well-known SINGER was last seen with the pretty model Julia BOSS.

They both walked on the red carpet during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, and Julia went to the CONCERT that X Japan performed last month in Tokyo Dome to support Yoshiki. This concert was very important for the band because it was their return to the Japanese scene.

"She is just a friend," Yoshiki has said, however, it seems their relationship is becoming closer.

Julia BOSS is less than 25 years old, and in her work as a model and an actress in the United States, she is becoming more popular.

Yoshiki, who now resides in Los Angeles, is dedicated to the composition of soundtracks for movies. His participation in the movie "Saw 4" is making his name more and more well known in the ambient Hollywood.

In their last visit to Japan, they both went to several night life centers. Since then, the rumors of their romance have not stopped."

So yeah, it totally sounds like tabloids are blowing this WAY out of proportion (and not even getting basic facts straight). @_@

And the headline makes no sense, especially if they're implying that Yo-chan and Julia are dating, because she's not even blonde. O_o

Sentimental companion or "companyero/a sentimental" in spanish, means either girl/boyfriend, married etc.  :wink:

It says he prefers a woman from USA rather than a japanese one.

I wouldn't believe a single word or most of the news, as for example(LOL!), they say "the japanese singer of X japan" a few times  :lol:  :lol:

I'm going to start university this year, studying the main languages of here(catalan and spanish) and also english and deutsch. Hopefully, I'll start japanese at university, this year or next. My main hobbies are music, playing music, writing music.... :lol: :twisted:
 
Add reading, going out with friends to concerts or the city, pets, playing computer games now and then, films, asiatic culture, an important activity that the german x-freaks might know the verb: schlafen, otherwise called, sleeping...too.

Offtopic / Religion or whatever you believe in

« on: April 14, 2008, 09:49:33 PM »

My fathers let me choose(baptzim, or whatever) when I was a child, they aren't religious at all. I said no at that time, religions are not my cup of tea. I'm more related to atheism, nowadays. Although I try to stay away from extremist attitudes. In the end, who can prove that there's somekind of god, gods or mother earth or that there isn't? These still are very metaphysical matters, which makes them very difficult to prove or refute. Sometimes it's funny/sad to see how some religions try to use the reason, even science sometimes, to prove that their divinity exists.

Here's a graphic I think you'd find interesting, its the results of an study made by Pitzer:

Toshi / Kaori

« on: April 14, 2008, 08:23:07 PM »

all i know is that he seemingly wanted to leave the sect since quite a while, but he was afraid of being alone, because his wife and friends were all into it. So I could imagine he's not with her anymore...

but i don't know anymore where i got those informations from ^^; it might be second hand and wrong... either i got it from his page or from another toshi fan, not sure

WTF??

LOL

Agree with you Hollywood.

I wonder too, there's somekind of mix of information in the net in these matters. Home of heart is the sect you refer to, or it's just an organisation related to Toshi or masaya?

Don't worry, that place has always been full of idiots and people who insult freely. Quite a few artist have critised the comments that people do there, the site itself post them as news from now and then.
