For those beingsuper-disappointed: what did you expect?
Stop defending yoshiki, just stop it, there is nothing at all you can defend about this, I already waited patiently while listening to other bands, for four years for half an album, and my patience is now gone, and at this point after all this he deserves some insults, it's just us wanting to express our feelings/frustrations, we have every right to do that so don't say otherwise and stop acting like a typical fanboy.
I don't care about the slightest glimpse of something that is pretty much 100% guaranteed to not happen just like everything else before it. Yeah I think I'm done with yoshiki and the band at this point, I might still come back to this forum every...well I don't know XD because you guys are awesome, but I'm done with the band, yoshiki has screwed everything up and even though the majority of crazy obssessed fans may not see it/know it, he has, and the other members too for not doing anything about it either. There were a few great moments in this reunion, but overall the whole six years, it's just been massively dissapointing in so many ways I don't think it was worth reuniting, and wax models was the final nail, seriously yoshiki fuck you.
Unless in a few years I happen to come across something and go "woah, they're playing sadistic desire, Vanishing Love and Miscast etc. live again, and their new album sounds great, has a good balance of fast heavy songs and ballads on it!" I'm not coming back to this band, it's been a great time talking with you all these years you're a fantastic community, and I may come back every once in a while for general discussion, but as for X, what a sad, sad way to end (for me) what used to be my favourite band after all these years, I'm out.
