I know this is my first post. I have been lurking a long time and only just joined (finally) but I wanted to step in and say I was surprised by the dismissive comment made about Yoshiki being a Drama Queen. He has certainly had is moments, no doubt about it, but people respond differently, person to person, under anesthetic, (it makes some people violently ill and immobile for days) I know I have not had my spinal column exposed, the bones drilled or the nerves messed with, but I can imagine the level of pain such surgery might cause, because I have had nerve damage in my neck since birth. As well, since it is obvious, considering the level of work Yoshiki san has been involved in over the past year after a ten year hiatus, not just with X but with the orphanage in China as well as JRock Revolution and Yoshiki Mobile and meeting contractual obligations, perhaps the moniker of 'Drama Queen' in this particular situation is unfounded? *ducks the rotten tomatoes and raspberries* lol
Who.. would dare call him a drama queen? *hands out baseball bats* How bout a game of T-Ball???
I think it's just sickening that people are STILL raving about lives being postponed/canceled, whatnot.
It's even more irritating that some here seem to think that this surgery and recovery is Yoshiki's idea of a 'vacation'. I can think of ways that would be a hell of a lot better to take a break than having my cut open and bones and such worked on!!!! Do you have any idea the level of pain he lives with on a daily basis? That is one strong man there ladies and gentlemen, weather you believe it or not. There are times he's on stage, smiling like nothing is bothering him.. and you know he's got to be in as much pain as a woman delivering a baby (without drugs).
Some of the members here are about to make me sick. I'm glad for the precious few like Faestian and a few others who have the backbone to stand up for Yoshiki. God knows most of you are still sitting in the basement!
