Wooh they already have 7-8 songs recorded with SKIN... And they still haven't decided on a bass... So the bass player has some catching up to do when he joins

I suppose the bass lines are rather easy or they'll make sure they get a very good bass player, or both

Of course, but I wasn't serious. I don't think we'll ever see anything more of Taiji with Yoshiki.

I still hope for it..... I can't see a reason why they shouldn't...

Perhaps the risk of the same thing happening again.

I could be wrong but I think Taiji left due to musical differences. I cant see him wanting to play the music he didnt want to write in the first place

Maverick · **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2007, 04:28:47 PM

@ alex: No... I cannot imagine that the same thing would happen again now

Guess, they're over it.

Well, Taiji said so sometimes, but listening to his own songs nowadays, I don't believe that version since in my impression Taiji's songs are somehow very similar to Yoshiki's style. He usually uses different instruments, tho... like acoustic guitar when Yoshiki would use piano.
But after listening to the song 'Get your Dream' in a piano version, I really believe that they are very similar in composing.

And for a very long time I thought Phantom Of Guilt was Yoshiki's song. I was quite shocked to find out it was Taiji's. Seems to be that Taiji doesn't like to write lyrics tho.

Yepp, think so, too - songs in which Taiji has witten also the lyrics are very rare.... and besides, I can't see his opinion that he said he perfers rather more hard rock than Yoshiki and Toshi did, since Songs he has written - talking of Dear Friend, Voiceless Screaming, the before mentioned 'Get Your Dream' which are really soft and touching songs... in that way he has very mixed songs from hard rock to ballads - same as Yoshiki, again
