For X, reording one song can take ten years. This is not good.

And seems like they're going with the same setlist in Shangai. I think I should leave this forum and stop following what they're doing right now. Right now everything they do just pisses me off. I should just watch their old videos and listen to their older songs.

Yeah maybe if they played more songs. I know that X's songs are longer than majority.. But Yoshiki has been asking on facebook and twitter stuff like "what songs you want to hear?" and saying that the setlist is top secret. But still they play the same 12 songs on every country.
Edit: and just when I was criticising them seems like they played Dahlia.. Well I really hope this is true!

And it seems like they're going with the same setlist as before. Hope I don't piss off any fangirls/boys but... what a joke. What band plays the same setlist something like 30 times in a row?

Yes I did notice that about the tempo. And I have said it many times before that I know that hide didn't always play perfectly.
But Sugizo has messed the solo more than once and when he according to most you "plays it perfectly", I still found that very sloppy and not-so-good. I don't know if you love him too much to think that he isn't good. Or maybe I'm too critical.

« on: September 16, 2011, 07:22:30 PM »Some people like hide version of solo, some people like Sugizo's version of solo. This happens. Use Rusty Nail solo to show if one guitarist is better than other is ridiculous, is just the extreme fan{boy/girl}ism appearing.
No it's not. Sugizo hasn't made his own solo for the old song, he has just changed some little parts. So he's bascily just covering the old ones. That's extreme SGZ-fanboyism to say "sugizo has his own style" when he time after time screws up some part. Like the tapping part in Silent Jealousy, he hasn't played it even once as fast as it's played in the original version. He always gets behind the tempo at that part and that has nothing to do with his style.

haha you're even harder on Sugizo then I am!
But if I knew it's him I would think that it's very good

Of course hide missed notes and that's totally acceptable bacause no one's perfect. But what made me to start this conversation was the fact, that if I wouldn't be familiar with X Japan and I would only hear an audio track of them playing Rusty Nail live with Sugizo doing the solo.. I would think that the guitarist is 15 years old and plays a bad solo with too much wah-wah and other effects. And like I said before, I love Sugizo and he is my favourite guitarist but only in Luna Sea.
This is just my opinion. And of course music is a lot more than guitar solos
Let's put it this way... If it was a youtube cover of someone totally random playing only the solo of Rusty Nail and doing it like Sugizo does, would you give it a thumbs up and think it was good? I definetely would not.

« on: September 15, 2011, 05:15:43 PM »I feel similar to you on this issue. I really admire Sugizo as a guitarist and I've noticed his rather sloppy performance on the solo's which bothers me because I truly believe he is capable. There's loads of covers on YouTube of people playing their songs/solo's perfectly so why can't we expect a professional of his caliber to do so as well? I've wondered why we haven't seen a return of Weekend or Dahlia; who knows if it's because of the intensity of songs such as Dahlia (especially on Yoshiki) nevertheless it's a very technical song all around. The weekend solo isn't that hard, hell, even an amateur like me can nearly pull it together...there's also the dumbed-down Last Live version which is not as technical as the original track on Blue Blood.
Yes I also thought that some time ago and I thought that it was a matter of practice, but for example in this old video he plays both hide's and Pata's solo for X and does a very good job. And those solos really aren't the easiest oness... And he was somewhat young at that time so he should have gotten even better.
But then.. seems like that's the only song he masters. And it can't be a matter of practice because as you said, he is a professional. For me it just seems like he can't play. The "guitar battle" at Yokohama was pretty much awful and seemed like that his floyd rose was the only thing, that he knew how to use. And he has played Rusty nail something like.. 15 times live and none of them hasn't really impressed me. And yes he should definitely be able to play Dahlia because that's really easy. But I think the reason why they don't play that sonf is because they might have some traumas from the last time when they played it in 2009
. That was horrible.

Surprise surprise, the setlist was the same in Argentina. Some videos.
Intro - Jade
Rusty Nail
Silent Jealousy
Art of life
Sugizo screws up the tapping solo in Silent Jealousy and the solo in Rusty Nail isn't particularly good..
I hate to say this because Sugizo is my favourite guitarist but only in Luna Sea. His solos have some emotion that in my opinion no one else has...
But for X his techinal skills are inadequate. I haven't seen him perform even one of hide's solos well.
I really don't like the situation because otherwise SGZ really fits X and hell no I don't want to hear playbacks. But I think that one of the reasons why they don't play songs like Weekend is because sugizo couldn't play the solos...

Sugizo played some parts of it in Berlin, but most of it was playback.

« on: July 04, 2011, 04:15:04 PM »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
I can hear the mistake!
You're not alone.

Well that's true but since X is finally coming to Europe after all this waiting, it would be reasonable to spread the world.. what twitter and facebook basicly does, because not every fan follows x-freaks or JaMe..

There's something wrong in all these things... there's no confirmation from X or Yo and the tickets are already available for some of the gigs and I don't know... There's something very odd in this.
