Heey everyone,
X just announced a show in the Netherlands.
It's at Tivoli in Utrecht, where more Jrock concerts were held in the past years.
Presale starts at 10 GMT+1 on April 19th...being..tomorrow
Location: Tivoli Oudegracht
Open: 7 pm
Starts: 7.45 pm
I hope I'll see you there everyone <3
-
i'll be DEFINETLY there! it's better than berlin 1) it's cheaper 2) holland is near me xD
yay for X in holland :D can't wait!
-
Anyone found another ticket-shop except the tivoli.nl site? (No Resellers). Cause on that site only people who are living in the Netherlands can open an account an order tickets. :(
EDIT: Maybe a moderator can move the thread into the World-Tour-Section, where the other concert threads are.
-
Just got an answer from the Tivoli, looks like on April 23rd the sale on ticketmaster (Ticket Service) will also start:
Hello Matthias,
Yes, Ticket Service is a pre-sale address. I see that the ticket sale
for X Japan via Ticket Service starts April 23.
Met vriendelijke groet,

Tivoli

So right now I guess that's the only way for the rest of the world to get tickets.
-
w00t I have my ticket! and was able to buy it before the actual start of the ticket sales
-
Tickets are now on sale for this event at the tivoli website (www.tivoli.nl).
I read on Twitter that tickets will be on sale for the 'general public' on April 23rd? I don't really understand this, won't it already be sold out by then? Tivoli is not a very large venue...
I was at the door earlier this morning and bought my tickets at the door :)
-
yay i'm there :)
-
Andy, he's from the netherlands, that's why he could buy tickets LOL
-
w00t I have my ticket! and was able to buy it before the actual start of the ticket sales
You wouldn't mind buying two extra-tickets, would you? ;)
-
Perhaps I can help you guys but I also bought some tickets for some friends of mine. I'd like them to pay me before I buy more tickets for other ppl. Still, I'm willing to help so..
-
First, not trying to be rude, but we already have a topic about the Utrecht gig (I'll merge the two later, don't worry).
The online-ticket sale is for members of the site only and you have to live in Holland to become a member, as I see. So in essence it's a pre-sale. The international fans can start buying tickets on April 23rd (or if they find a Dutch friend, a bit earlier :) ).
-
Ah thanks a lot, but never mind, seems that I found other ways to get my ticket. ;)
Looks like that you can't BUY as a person not living in the netherlands, but you can still get a RESERVATION, at least that's what I'm talking about with the people there right now.
-
waahh you guys are so fast~~~ *should get her ticket....is still busy booking the london trip.....* GAAH I"M SOO BROKE!!! So what's the cheapest way? Freerecord shop? tivoli? or???
-
if tickets are still on sale in a months time and I win some money on the lottery then i'll be going. Prices i'm looking at are around the same price as paris in terms of flights.. plus my long lost lover mark said he'd pick me up from the airport on his way to the gig... chances are i wont be able to go though, even though i'd love to.
-

Tivoli will propably be the cheapest way to buy them. So if you are from the Netherlands, go for it.
The reservation seems to have worked. At least the lady told me she would have put a reveration for two tickets and I should pick them up on the day of the concert. But I guess I will have a look on saturday at the ticketmaster-site, just to see if there are still tickets available and if that's the case I will order them there and cancel my reservation. But either way ... Utrecht, I'm coming. :D

Hey guys. I ordered my ticket today. Going with my brother!
Perhaps it is fun to meet up with eachother once we are there. And stand in a group. Just way more fun!
How many of you are actual Dutch? I know i am;)
-
So am I, so what time are people planning to go???? Must add, in holland..it's not very common (or necesary....usually) to camp.... ~~ just so you know <3
-
Looks like the lady of the tivoli was wrong about ticketmaster. Tickets went on sale 5 minutes ago and are now available.
-
aahh okaay.... so it seems I'll have to spend me some moneyz ~~
-

I bought red sunglasses and i only need a wig that looks like Hide's. Just cant find any good wig.
-

-
I am happy.I will go in Utrecht!!! Now I must book air-tickets!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
hmm yh the two-colour is pretty hard to get...
you can maybe get this
http://cosplayanimewigs.com/12herestshba.html
and buy black and pink hairdye (stargazer is only like...€8 ...~~)
and do it yourself <3 or maybe see if they sell it in pink...and only dye the under
part black (also if it's too short...which i think it is.. try the medium ones~~ like this... http://cosplayanimewigs.com/hereplblcowi.html)
-
Hmm maybe i should ask my neighbor she is a barber. I'm pretty sure i mess it up if i do this all by myself.
I'm really surprised that this wig is so hard to get.. I have seen a few but they are just plain bad.
-
yh... you totally should <3 she prolly knows WAY better than me anyways ^////^"""" goodluck ne <3
-
Merged the topics! :)

You are from Barcelona? And you come all the way here to see them? Awesome:) Anyhow, you should try to order from your pc indeed.
-

-
Cool, so I guess my tickets should arrive, too (during the next few days/weeks :))
-
@depgicc well I'm going there from Paris xDDD first I have to see how to arrive on time lol

Haha, same here. Got my train from Munich --> Paris and Utrecht --> Munich, but still nothing booked from Paris --> Utrecht.

That are the X-savings over the last few years + I guess the next few months will be only bread and water ;)

Maybe you can try this one to save some money http://www.drive2day.de/0a2j48d278fj3dij
or an other car sharing agency, I think it´s much cheaper than train or plane,
so you money will last than for bread, water and butter ;D

Why do you guys go to multiple X japan concerts in a short amount of time? Aint that boring?
I mean.. I'm pretty sure they will sing the same songs.

Who knows when I'll have the next chance to see them live? So I try to get as much as possible. ;) And with my favorite bands after a concert I often have the feeling 'Wow, wouldn't it be great to see them tomorrow again', So I don't think the concerts will be boring for me.
-
I agree!
If I had enough money and days off, I would love to go to every concert in Europe.
I went to both concerts in Hong Kong 2 years ago, the songs they played were slightly different.
I can only say, that I was as 'high' on the second night as on the first night. ;D
-
I really hope they'll have that effect on me these two times too...
I can't wait!!
(but first....endterm exams...AAHHH FML)
-
Looks like it's sould out..?
-
The international link indeed seems sold out. The "Normal" link still seems to be available..
-
Tickets arrived today. :)
-
The "Normal" tickets are now sold out too...
http://www.tivoli.nl/agenda/informatie/datum/za-%202-jul-2011/titel/X+JAPAN
-
OMK YAY SOLD OUT <333333 you know, the only sold out jrock concert there was Miyavi.....
-
Just a headsup: Tivoli is selling tickets again :o
They appear to be e-tickets, so you might be able to get one if you don't live in the Netherlands. They also removed the text promoting the international seller ticketmaster link (probably because tickets are sold out at ticketmaster).

Still waiting for my second order. bought two tickets on 20.04 in the morning and another two on 21.04 in the evening. But as it is said on the ticketmaster homepage that delivery may take up to two weeks I'm not getting worried ... yet. ;)
-
it'll be ok <3
-
just bought me a ticket for the show, instead of going to Köln I will come to Utrcht and make a nice short holiday there:-)
-
woow it really sucked they were selling tickets for Koln without it being confirmed by X...... also, hope you didn't pay A LOT for that ticket~ <3
-
no, did pay the normal price, around € 45 and the ticketseller asked us to send the ticks back and we will get our money, so no problem at all, I booked already a flight and hotel and now I decided to go to Utrecht too, so I´ll have summerholidays for 8 days, I think the first time since 1998 or so... how nice is this, so seems we will meet in Utrecht, erg lekker :D
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's soo FREAKING FARAWAY from me...x((( and EXPENSIVE tooo tooo much T.T....they didn't add EAST EUROPE dates....what's with us x(
nyahhh you're lucky hope you'll enjoy the show!!
jealous of you **...**
-
@elanor i hope you mean 45 for the two tickets...coz they were 25 each originally... but glad you're coming <3
-

nope, it was not really a snap, but is the normal price here with tax and shipping, the same I payed for DIRU...
and for Utrcht I payed €52 for one, but it was also possible to get a ticket for the same show for € 85, if you are looking for something really expensive try Rammstein, for the concert back in 2009 the cheapest ticks were about € 120, btw. :P

sorry to hear that, but I felt the same last year when they were playing Lollopalooza and touring North America, and I never ever expected them to play here in Berlin, so don´t give up the hope, maybe they will play East Europa in the future...
if you can´t wait, try a bank raid, but don´t tell that you got it from me ;D ;D ;D
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's soo FREAKING FARAWAY from me...x((( and EXPENSIVE tooo tooo much T.T....they didn't add EAST EUROPE dates....what's with us x(
Simple, not enough fans in this area. From my country I only know of two others, who are both going to the London concert. I will be going to London and Paris. It won't be that cheap, but it's mostly because I can't spare much time. Nowadays there are cheap airline tickets and cheap hostels and CouchSurfing and other possibilities...

haahah xD I will do that maybe..O.o...xP
nyah it's just not fair...for Europe to add only North Europe and they said EUROPEAN tour..x(
I know.. we are wiating this for years....not only Lollopalooza.. T.T

hmm..I think you're not right!! absolutely..O.o where are you from??? (sorry if I asked rude ^^)
we created even facebook event to see how many of us on FACEBOOK ONLY! want to go on concert 100%..on HUNGARY..we thought it's best place for east europe they could come, as in Hungary already many japanese artists were having concerts in Budapest as MIYAVI, D'espairsRay, Girugamesh, KOKIA, Dir en Grey, Versailles, MUCC etc.....we for 4 days reached 630 people who will definitely go and 180 people who will maybe go if they really would come.. and still 1200 waiting for answer..
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144844398917917
and many MORE of them who don't have facebook..
so it's about :
from HUNGARY, only there may be about 1000 fans who will attend concert, from Croatia about 30 people, from Serbia about 20-30 from Bulgaria about 20 from Austria 50, from Slovakia 30 from Romania 20, from Slovenia 20...
maybe many MORE...as I myself know that amount of people from this places (Balkan) who love X Japan and who will definitely go..O.o
so they could definitelly come...*.*
and for other countries..it's really EXPENSIVE..as I already spend all money fro MIYAVI, Girugamesh and -OZ- in Budapest..I didn't know X would for really come in Europe this year...as I am from Serbia...here is really dificult situation with money, and job and prices for life...so to go in London or Paris or Berlin I must take for 4 months job's payment from my Parents..X.X
it's just without a question...
-
@SamuraiSx: I know what you mean, but I don´t think that Yoshiki or the management knows about that, so it´s not that they don´t think there are no fans, so no reason to go there, I don´t think that they do proper market research at all, btw. I don´t think X got a proper management at all, look at the mess they were doing with anouncing and canceling shows in Europe during the last years...
so, that means you fans there have to fight, show them how much you want them to play there, may be you can move something, and yes Hungary would be nice, I will come too, if you achieve to bring X there.
I guess the problem is, that Europa in the public appreciation often ends where the former "Iron Curtain" was and South and East Europa are not that present like West and North, again a leftover from former time, but it will vanish step by step, so do your best and tell them: here we are here and we are many :)

I'm from Northern-Eastern Europe, Estonia.
Well the event shows that those 630 people would come if a) they had the money at the moment, b) if the time would fit (they wouldn't have to work/do an exam on that day and c) if there wasn't a better concert at the time etc. Yes, there might be some more people who don't have Facebook, but still. I would guess X Japan could sell about 600-700 tickets in that area, maybe 1000 with good promotion. But since it's further away from the rest of the shows it might not be cost-efficient enough.

where did you get that those 630 peoples will go if they would have money?..O.o
they WILL go as they are ATTENDING..so it's obviously they have money for Budapest's concert.
and those who maybe would attend those 188 they maybe because of money..
Estonia..hmm..it's really far away from here..and from Estonia I don't know anyone who loves X..sorry...@.@
but as I said you gusessed wrong, as for now minimum is 1000 attendings. so it will be more for sure..as you saw on facebook only 600. and those who don't have facebook they are in huge nubmber.
and I don't know how you get conclusion about those 600 who are attending, that they are in question because of money..? O.o
and with good promotion ..it will be about 1500 peoples for sure.
as I know here peoples and countries..
-
I know many people who attend events on Facebook even if they can't, just to help the effort or advertise the event. There is always a chance that if X Japan decides to come to Budapest at one point, some of those people will find out that it's at a bad time for them, they might not have the money that they might have now, etc.

because of that, as I am admin, I WROTE especially in description that only those who will 100% go can attend!
and I am checking every 3 days new joined and some of them I am asking about thier true intentions about going on concert..
and this event is not some joke on facebook, as I know too, those many events and people who are helping with it...but this is serious metter..
and people who are invited they know about it so those who don't want or think that they couldn't go they just don't attend event.
as you see there are about 300 those who can't...
so don't make so fast conclusions..:)

I just bought $460 worth of additional equipment to record the gig! Battery box and some new mics, wires etc. Can't wait!
As dapgicc said, going together with him <3 :-*

Maybe not the smartest thing to say on a public forum?
-
srsly... i'm too much agreeing with Miyavi... why would you record a gig (it's prolly gonna end up on dvd anyways) why not enjoy the show with your eyes, instead of through the lens of your camera? Why not enjoy the memories... you can find every song on internet anyway...
-
I was supposed to go to England, but then the show in the Netherlands showed up... Since the England show will be in the middle of an exam week and the Holland show in a weekend my dad and I will go to the Holland show. Was looking forward on going to England again but I'll be special to see them in Holland I think. So I will see you then!

nice of you to say that :), sometimes on a concert I feel like an alien, only being there to listen to the music and watching the show, sometimes I´ve had the idea that a part of the audience is not paying attention to the artist on stage, but entertaining it´s self with the stuff they are doing, don´t they enjoy the show? very odd.. :-\
-
@elanor yh, i know what you mean. I'm usually front row, nd people there usually don't film... but then you look behind you and see an army of cameras ... it's so sad. It's so much more awesome through your eyes, than through your camera...
-
A Dutch comedian once said that in some decades people our age will come to realize we spent what should have been the best moments of our lives looking at small computer screens.

Clip-on mics and a battery box yes. It's not secret, stealth recording is quite common and normal.

Not at all actually.
I'm usually front row, nd people there usually don't film... but then you look behind you and see an army of cameras
This is indeed not much in the spirit of metal. Horns up or GTFO. I do carry a pocket camera for a song or two if I feel like it haha.

First I want to clarify that I do not do video. Only audio. It's simply being recorded AS I enjoy the show.
The reason of recording a show is exactly for the memories. If you have it down to an art, a recording can come out very beautiful. Here is an example of a video with a seperate audio source from stealth (portable/hidden/clip-on) mic's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJtKJMlbrLE To me this is just an excellent recording. Something that will make other people happy as well if they missed the show or if they were there but couldn't record it. Whatever the reason. Recordings are often shared on specialized sites (dime-a-dozen - archive.org etc) with thousands of other people who record live shows with professional equipment. I suppose it's a different branch of being a music lover.
-
@Tsubaa are yah dutch?????? nd also, xD SO TRUE.... (xcept for me...coz i just...forget to bring a cam xDDD to important stuff xD)
-
@xScQ: Very nice, really curious how it will turn out and what the quality of the recording wil be like.
-
@Tsubaa are yah dutch?????? nd also, xD SO TRUE.... (xcept for me...coz i just...forget to bring a cam xDDD to important stuff xD)
Yep I'm Dutch :P I'll be going to Utrecht and Berlin shows.
-

cool, we will meet, go to Utrecht (hope my ticket will arrive soon) and of course to Berlin show
-
Ah, btw all my Utrecht tickets did arrive. The second order was sent back at first (cause the adress wasn't correct, at least that's what the german post-service says, what is bullshit because 1. the adress is correct and 2. the same as on the first order), but after it was sent again it did arrive and now I have almost everything planned and/or booked for the concerts.

OMKYAY dutch people <3 I'm really curious if i've seen you before at concerts ^^" but, i'm always curious bout taht xDDD let's make it an awesome day ne <3
-
got my ticket just jet as an e-ticket, hmmm, is that all, or will I get also one by mail? I booked over WorldTicketShop
-
If you chose e-tickets the mail with the pdf is all you're gonna get.
-
that´s why I´m a bit confused, because it was written direkt mail, but if they at venue are familiar with that e-ticket, it will be fine for me
-
Where did you buy it? Ticketmaster? If you're not sure if you will receive more, just write them a mail. I bought my tickets for Paris and London as e-tickets and I also got just a mail with a PDF-File which I have to print out and show at the venue.
-
I got it from WorldTicketShop, and yes I will ask twice.
-
Hooray, I'm going to the London AND the Dutch concert :D. My dad bought tickets for the London show, but later the Dutch show was announced so he said we'd go to the Dutch show. But now he hasn't sold the London tickets yet so we'll go to both shows. I'm so happy :D. I'm a bit shy but if you recognize me, please say hello! (posting the same message in the London show topic ;) )
-
@Mytrhil Taralom: congrats - cool dad, I´ll be in Utrecht too, will be recognizeable by my button
-
@Mythrill Taralom Are you from Holland??? nd I'll be at both gigs too <3 so who knows, maybe we'll see each other ^^"
-
@ MadMiyu: Yes I'm from Holland :) Maybe we will indeed ^^
-
My Brother is going to record the concert as well. He has mini mics. And i bring my Full HD 1080 camera with me..
If my sounds sucks we are going to merge them together.
-
.... tivoli is ANAL about recording... so I hope you have permission
-
I do not... but i just asked premission though. gonna ask X-Japan themself as well.
-
goodluck~

Tivoli Told me i can record if the band says it is okay... So i will have to contact the studio. If i ever get a responds:)
-
in Berlin will take place an after show party after te concert, are there plans for something like that in Utrecht too, or does anyone know a nice place where we can go after the concert?
-
eehhh well it's pretty much in the center of Utrecht, there must be somewhere to go ^^"
-
I will go to both concert in Paris and Utrecht. have anyone been to Tivoli before? The capacity of venue is around 1000?
-
Never been there, but as far as I know it should be around 1000, so it's the smallest venue of this tour.
-
does anyone of you know anything about a support band? :D
-
@Pancy Yup...it's small and I'm srsly wondering how they're gonna get all the instruments on the stage...srsly..that small...if i remember correctly...but yh, so a standing area and a sit/standing balcony... queueing is in a kind of..hallway... so it's dry xD <3 ehm..... yh...?
-
I wonder how its gonna fit. In london yoshiki pushed over a guy who was working on his drums, and almost ran over a camera man.
The guy at the drums really didnt expect yoshiki to dash to his drums while he was playing the piano XD
-
It can be done:) don't worry about that.

dag, Utrecht show is done, it was really great
Setlist
Intro
Jade
Rusty nail
Silent Jealousy
Drain
Sugizo on violin
later together with Yoshiki on piano
Intro for Kurenai
Kurenai
Toshi said Hello to us, Yoshiki was talking to us, they talk to each other
Born to be free
Drum solo
I.V.
X
encore
Endless rain
Yoshiki talking about the Europa tour and he promised to came back
Piano solo
Art of Life
The venue was very cosy, I was on the balcony and had a good overlook about everything, the audience was nice and easy going and very patient - the show started at 9.20 insteat of 7.45, during the show the where dancing, headbanging and shouting, but always in a good way, seems to be a bit different from the other shows, maybe because of the smaller venue, was more like a big, big family meeting for a long expected festivity, that was my impression from upstairs
the sound was mostly good, one or two times a little problem, but it was sorted out quick enough
Toshis voice was very good and I like to watch Yoshikis fingers dancing on the piano :D
now I´ll see, how it will be in Berlin

Uploading Videos onto youtube now. I will post them here when it's done!
WE ARE X!

Quite a long wait but it was definitely worth it seeing them upclose! Now I know how Yoshiki's sweaty head feels like :P
About their playing (from my point of view):
Sugizo did play the solo of Rusty Nail but made his own version of it.
Anyone else noticed that some solo parts of Kurenai weren't played? I think they were counting on hide but he didn't feel like doing it lol
When Pata was playing the solo of X something went wrong and he stopped playing at some point.
Endless Rain was shortened and the first part of art of life wasn't played of course. For the first half of the solo of art of life they used a recording of hide and Sugizo then did play the rest.
I thought the overal tempo of the faster songs was a bit lower then how they used to play it. I also found that their sound had a bit too much treble and some reverb (the piano didn't sound very natural) but that could be just me. I'm looking forward to seeing some video's!
Overal it was a great performance though!
ow and Yoshiki likes Dutch kroketten! He also explained why they went to The Netherlands. One of his staff members was Dutch and he thought there probably should be X fans in Holland or something like that so Yoshiki was like lets check it out! He could speak some Dutch as well like "ik hou van jullie" and "jullie zijn te gek". He also talked about the Japanese earthquake.
-
Wow...You guys are so fast O.o *only got up 2 hours ago..nd had a long shower first* @elanor it's pretty much always like that in Holland xDD expect for at Dir en grey xDDD also i saw you at starbucks(butwastooshytosayanything) <3 glad you enjoyed it
I surely enjoyed it... It was amazing. I was first row in front of Pata, and really enjoyed his awesome guitarplaying just as much as I did the close view of Sugizo's in London. I was really surprised they were still so... 'fresh' because of the show in Paris. I guess they did miss some solos indeed, but even with that I didn't like it any less than London, although it was definitely different. The Japanese fans behind me ...were really ...persistent, so that was a bit of a pain, but when Yoshiki jumped the crowd they got distracted. We did have a little problem with the fence when he did so, it fell over to the stage, which was really scary. The only thing I really thought was WAY better in London was the sound, because I agree with Wick, that the sound of the piano sounded off and there was a tremble in the other instruments. And also, the instruments were REALLY loud compared to Toshi's mic...
Overall...I was REALLY amazed and got completely X'ed all over again <3
P.S I LOVED Yoshiki's MCs xDD tho, he's really ALWAYS panting xDD it's amusing... but yh... kroketten, they're nice <3
-
Hey guys, video comes a bit later. I have to convert the videos to avi files first. Takes forever.
-
the sound of the piano sounded off and there was a tremble in the other instruments
ah then it's not just me :) Yes it did sound off and Sugizo had also problems tuning his guitar. Probably because he has a whammy bar so it's hard to tune (if you tune one string it effects the others).
Found a couple of video's on youtube already.

-
wow, the sound is really good! saw a video from paris, well, this stage is a little smaller :D :D :D
but that doesn't matter at all :) it was such a awesome performance!
-
Nice video with a good angle. I am uploading mine right now. But it takes atleast 4 hours to complete since i recorded it in 1080p. and the file is 3 gig.
Oh and that is only part 1 of the video. I have more.
-
Had a really great time last night. I could see more so that was nice ;) Though at first there were these really tall guys with hats in front of us, the hats were really cool but not during a concert! Luckely the crowd moved a bit so later we could see more :) We also got to talk to people this time, wich was nice, in Londen we were a bit 'ignored'... ^^"

@Mytrhil Taralom:
I saw the guys with the high hats too, already while waiting in the line and I thought if they let them on, they won´t make much friends during the concert, but at last it looks from the balcony as everything get sorted, like you said :)
-
What do you guys think of this rather big mistake of Pata lol
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2jjf2y2H-s[/youtube]
After Toshi starts singing and the bass is in the foreground Pata should kick in with the main riff played fast but he plays the slowed down riff which should come much later..he just kept playing it and it sound strange with the vocals. You can see that Heath does play the faster part and looking at Pata once thinking wtf?! It's really bad hehe

I watched the video and didn't catch what you're talking about. Perhaps cause it's Drain and hardly anyone gives a damn about the song, haha. I'm pretty disappointed in Sugizo for consistently butchering the Rusty Nail solo. It was very interesting to see him progress with it during the N.A tour. Basically, they used hide playback till Chicago (I think) and he made a big mess of it there, then the night after in Toronto, where I was, he played the solo perfectly, then in New York 2 nights later, he played it perfect again. I guess since the new year/earthquake, they haven't practiced much but still, I feel really bad for you guys who heard those mistakes.
-
can´t say anything about mistakes, ´couse I´m not skilled in that (infact I don´t have one musical bone in me :P), but it´s true that Sugizo got a lot of volunteer stuff for recreating the demaged araes on his mind, or maybe he has had a bad day :-\
-
Just a few sentences. Came home two hours ago and I'm really happy and sad at the same time. Happy cause I saw the tour and enjoyed it. Sad cause it was my last concert and I already miss a lot of the people I met there. Met Sugizo in front of the Tivoli, but he didn't have time, so no pictures ... Fuck the blood! ;)
Here a few pictures I took during the tour (first one is from Paris, the other ones were taken at Utrecht). May write a little bit more during the next few days.

Thanks. Lot more, gonna upload them during the next few days. Have to work next week, so I don't know how much time I got for that.
-

No it wasn't that bad! Most people probably/hopefully didn't hear most mistakes. I like Drain though and I play guitar so I do hear it..for a professional band it's not so good imo.
-
@ Matthias: yeah, gimmi more gimmi more - no please, don´t hurry, I can wait, I´d love my place at the balcony, but my camera couldn´t work properly over that distance, and I do have the chance to see them again tomorrow :D
-
@matthias: i want more too! :D was really nice to see you again :) now we have to save our money for the next tour ;D

Wick: I don't see any mistake, Pata is playing his part of the guitar. Remember there is playback of hide's guitar too, but in this video you can't hear it, you can only hear Pata's guitar, that's why it sounds weird, but there is no mistake.
Feudal: I think Sugizo playing the solos is fucking awesome, he has his own style and it doesn't have to sound exactly like hide, and at least they are getting rid of the playbacks, so I'm happy.
-
omg..that none of you can hear it..they can play anything and you'll like it. I know I'm nitpicking but this particular mistake should be obvious. The bass and guitar are playing different notes and not meaning an octave higher or so..
Mistakes are negative points and I don't want to be pessimistic so nvm. It's a good thing you don't hear it ;)
edit: btw, you can hear the recording of hide but it's not very loud

Ok, I apologise for my previous post, I can see it now. You just didn't explain well where was the mistake, you said "after Toshi starts singing", so I was looking "after Toshi starts singing", at 1:16, but the mistake is from 1:30 to 1:45.
-
You're right about that. I should have said "at 1:30"...I'm not good at explaining. You should have heard it anyway though :P
