General chat / Re: X Japan : On the verge of destruction, AGAIN
« on: February 26, 2020, 09:10:28 PM »Do Japanese fans still buy Yoshiki's lies/nonsense? I'm curious.
Also, why doesn't Yoshiki simply release old stuff to stay relevant?
There's still so much fantastic X material that has never been officially released:
- Kyoto Sports Valley '88
- Nagoya Rock Wave '90
- Rose & Blood Tour '90
- X with Orchestra '91
- Violence in Jealousy Tour '91
- On the Verge of Destruction -3 Days- '92
I just don't understand Yoshiki's logic.
My guess is that the fans who decide to leave probably have mostly left already. People who stay probably just really don't care how much longer they have to wait.
Also in terms of releasing the old lives, i personally really would like to see more releases too, especially X with Orchestra and Rose and Blood. However, it's also true that he's very strict with editing the live footage (for example it took him like several years to release on the Verge of Destruction, and did he ever release any official live recordings post-reunion?), and realistically he probably just doesn't have the time. I personally just hope that if for example NHK does a documentary or something related to X Japan, hopefully some fans can just pressure them into signing something with Yoshiki and release some X with Orchestra footage on their end..
