missed it all. Cause of damn work. Good to see blue blood now there is hope of older songs in future concerts. Have to wait till a download appears of the concert. Too bad it was short.

If it's really a concert in Germany I hope it's somewhere near the Netherlands, that'd be nice

Ulquiorra · **Reply #217 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:59:31 PM

Yep from watching that video Toshi's voice is definatly back, he's still suffering a little bit from his voice breaking away but nowehere near as much as before, and his voice isn't warbling anymore, and its powerful again.

Ryuu · **Reply #218 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:59:47 PM

I hope that they'll play in Berlin... It's only one place where I can go to a concert...

Oh my gosh, thank you too. The next few minutes I have to go to the place where we are gonna celebrate new year, but at the moment I don't really want to go anywhere lol

TOSHI on drums

Amazing!
This gig was short, that's for sure, but it was damn intense!

Ulquiorra · **Reply #223 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:15:12 PM

They've taken down that video of Toshi playing drums already, I suggest if you want to keep these videos then open them up on youtube now and download them somehow, I only say this because I'd like to keep these for a while because it takes what seems forever for a dvd to come out of X-japan's concerts, also this is Toshi's voice making a major comeback, and its a new performance of blue blood so its special.

Also it doesn't seem like the poster of the X and Blue Blood videos has anymore to upload.

Feudal · **Reply #224 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:21:11 PM

Totally agree with you Ulquiorra, I recommend you all to search "youtube converters" in Google and start downloading these amazing clips to your hard drives like I have done. The person who has given us both of those videos seems to now be posting older material from 89'...interesting still, but we need the rest!

Tordek42 · **Reply #225 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:25:16 PM

Wow, that was quick!! Oh well, can always wait for a torrent

Ulquiorra · **Reply #226 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:26:13 PM

That's why I don't think he has the rest, because he's now uploading old ones.

http://downloadyoutubevideo.org

This website is the best to use right now, the other one isn't working, its very simple to download them off this site.

Just found I.V, put that youtube link into the downloadyoutubevideo website.

Toshi was definatly trying to avoid the high notes during the song, if you listen to it a couple of times you get used to the way he screams them. I still think its the best he's sung it live though.

edyork · **Reply #227 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:01:09 PM

now im loving I.V more after this video =) better vocals and all, everything (L)

p/s yoshiki looks really gd in reddddd seems like he've not worn them since

gd that its back tho his leather jacket still rocks haha
^^

Beauty/Broken · **Reply #228 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:07:12 PM

I thought Toshi's vocals were abit too harsh in IV, I loved the harmonies he was doing with Sugizo in the I.V. Prelude though, that was beautiful stuff.

edyork · **Reply #229 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:11:50 PM

haha i dont know, watching the video just seem to make it sound nicer lolol
cos just listening to the one they released seems abit boring, tho the video was gd (rooftop and all the memories..)

Feudal · **Reply #230 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:13:48 PM

I also think Toshi could have eased up a bit on the I.V. singing. I prefer the reunion sound better. It's tough because even though it's a hard rock song, it suits softer more powerful singing...which we all know Toshi is very good at. For example, when he holds the notes for "VEIN...ARRRGGEGHREF!@*$@", he should've let them calmly slip away instead of holding on and churning them. Lol, still awesome nonetheless.

Ulquiorra · **Reply #231 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:17:14 PM

It feels more for me like he's trying to avoid the high notes by screaming in this one rather then just trying to make it sound different. Well actually he sings 'I'm lost within' like the pv, so I have no clue why Toshi sang it like that, it sounds pretty good though. And his harmonies with Sugizo were amazing.

Definately, he's been doing it ever since the Reunion lives to avoid the high notes. I guess it's just his way of dealing with it, Ryuichi from Luna Sea couldn't sing high enough anymore so Luna Sea decided to learn most of their songs which involved high singing in a key which he would be more comfortable with for their reunion lives, I guess Toshi would just prefer to do it this way.

You should download all these videos with http://downloadyoutubevideo.org/ its very likely they'll all be removed soon.

Ulquiorra · **Reply #234 on:** December 31, 2008, 08:34:42 PM

That is the best that Toshi has sung Tears live, there were one or two moments where he used his rough voice where I don't think he should have but still, best performance of Tears he's done.

Yoshiki small drum medley thingy + Kurenai!!

Last minute countdown to new year.

Toshi only sang one more song and that's Orgasm, so we need that now.

plasma · **Reply #235 on:** December 31, 2008, 08:49:12 PM

Wow, thanks! You guys (and this forum and these links) are awesome! Watching the clips and reading this thread have really gotten me very excited about their World Tour.

X Japan is really an addiction - watching them live once (this year) has only made me want to watch them perform live again! It really sucks that I'm not able to go to the Hong Kong, Taiwan or Korea concerts because of work commitments. But I absolutely must catch one of their other concerts in 2009 regardless of the cost. I'm now feeling so much more hyper about seeing X Japan in 2009 than logging off from my computer and going for the New Year countdown!

RainSeraphim · **Reply #236 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:10:37 PM

I've been tearing apart my favorite X sites to get to information about this show but none are updating as quickly as this one; I thank all of the contributors for their time and effort

Ulquiorra · **Reply #237 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:20:24 PM

Anyone wanna see Toshi on the drums again? He reuploaded it hehehe.

darkcat21 · **Reply #238 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:21:09 PM
