Great setlist, but I really would have liked to see some Week End in there, and perhaps some Orgasm...but since the venue i'll be at is nothing but seats with no pit, it would be rather pointless, lol.

HerrAmn · **Reply #121 on:** September 26, 2010, 06:56:44 AM

Haha yeah. Massey Hall.. I was hoping they would do more ballads, but honestly, that's the setlist I expected. I mean, I'm surprised they did "Drain". But then again, it's largely in English.. so it only makes sense.

Brandon · **Reply #122 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:01:08 AM

I'm really happy they brought back Silent Jealousy to the stage! Cannot wait to see that one performed in front of my eyes in about 2 weeks! Drain doesn't really come as a huge surprise to me, its been occasionally included in various setlists since their reformation, but i'm happy they have Drain! Great song! And of course Art Of Life is one the best pieces by X, so i'm happy they will perform it! Hopefully they play all 30 minutes of it!

"So all songs were in English except for X and Kurenai's chorus. It was awesome."

denx · **Reply #124 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:08:40 AM

heh? they play silent jealousy in english?

MiXu · **Reply #125 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:10:35 AM

That's what they're saying.. and that's what some of them are not saying.

Brandon · **Reply #126 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:10:49 AM

All in English? Thats pretty cool, but they would have just been fine in their original Japanese anyway, lol. But now i'm excited! Hearing all these legendary songs in English!

So, apparently the pyrotechnics blew up Yoshiki's piano.

I lawled.

CharonCaori · **Reply #128 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:15:14 AM

Hahaha, I want to see that, too. How can you burn up a crystal piano?

Endless Rain right now.

Aghh! If that wasn't part of the show I think somebody is gonna looking for work tomorrow. Hopefully nobody was hurt if it wasn't planned.

HerrAmn · **Reply #130 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:16:54 AM

Haha. That's horrible. Yeah, hopefully no one was hurt.

I'm sure its fine, Yoshiki's piano is invincible. Now if only the pyrotechnics blew up Vampires Everywhere.

Some VE fangirl was tweeting at the beginning of the show about how much she hated the X Japan fans... I feel a little sorry for her, honestly, but... Come on. I wonder how rude the X fans were? They probably weren't throwing stuff or anything...

I'm really glad no one was hurt either...

denx · **Reply #133 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:21:48 AM

endless rain, first balllad of the show

ART OF LIFE!

Lucky mofos.

denx · **Reply #137 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:26:46 AM

AOL must be the last song of the show.

just wondering, did they (X Japan member) talk to audience? or just keep playing the song

roseofpain84 · **Reply #138 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:27:14 AM

So, there was no break at all, right?? Cool...

Brandon · **Reply #139 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:31:06 AM

Hey, yea! Did they talk to the audience?

Feudal · **Reply #140 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:37:44 AM

I'm dying, just DYING to know..did Sugizo play the solo's? ESPECIALLY with regards to Art of Life? or is the hide playback still being used and how much of it? He's MORE than capable and he did Silent Jealousy and Endless rain solo's perfectly in the past.

roseofpain84 · **Reply #141 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:43:14 AM

Some people twitted that Yoshiki is in the crowd...^o^

Feudal · **Reply #142 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:46:15 AM

Apparently they played a short version of Art of Life and then Forever Love came on the speakers while they played around on stage according to Bady Maru on twitter.

MiXu · **Reply #143 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:51:41 AM

Yoshiki is in the crowd. I hope that crazy fangirls don't kill him.

CharonCaori · **Reply #144 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:56:02 AM

That's a short setlist!!

MiXu · **Reply #145 on:** September 26, 2010, 07:59:09 AM

That's X. And remember that even the short version of AOL is as long as 3 "normal" songs..

Oh? I didn't realize. How long was it exactly? I was estimating around 6-8 minutes... I'm surprised they did the piano stuff.

But no encore? They have to have an encore. Unless art of life was the encore...

I think there was a small break before Endless rain. So that and Art of Life were the encore. But this is only my guess.. And this is also a guess but someone said "Now to the drums" so maybe AOL was played from the piano solo to the end.. We'll know better soon.

Ashemanu · **Reply #148 on:** September 26, 2010, 08:11:16 AM

So how many people are there, is it at least half sold out? And do the people like the show?

roseofpain84 · **Reply #149 on:** September 26, 2010, 08:16:32 AM

So, I guess Silent Jealousy was in english too...
