Oh man, and I have SO much to say about the death of X and the differences between X and X Japan... maybe I should make a separate thread just for that rather than saying it here.
Speaking of Mitsuo, or any of the other DTR members really-- does anyone know anything about them? I'd like to find out more about them but have never found much info; they remain pretty much a mystery to me.
A thread about the X/X-Japan thing would be nice... I always considered both fases of X to be very different too... Almost like different bands...
About D.T.R's members... All I know about them is some other projects or bands they were or are part of...
Taiji Fujimoto was the guitarist for 80's Heavy Metal band
Dancer... He also released a great solo album entitled "My Quest" back in 1991... In 2005 he joined the Hard Rock group
The Dead Pop Stars, and I believe he's still a member of it...
Mitsuo Takeuchi was a member of
Joe-Erk before joining D.T.R... They released only one demo, one EP and one VHS... He's also a member of
Taisyu Sakaba together with Eizo Sakamoto... I never listened to them, so I can't say anything... He was also a guest in
Animetal's "Marathon IV" and
Eizo Sakamoto's "Metal Icchokusen". He also had other projects like
Hot Rod Crue and
Funk Rocket, but I never listened to either...
Kenji Shimizu is also a member of
Taisyu Sakaba if I'm not wrong... Don't know much more about him or the other members...
