General chat / Favourite orchestral rendition of an X song?
« on: September 27, 2009, 06:28:48 PM »
I've recently purchased Yoshiki's eternal melody series and I gotta say some of the tracks on there are very well composed. My personal favourite out of all the tracks would probably have to be White Wind.... What I like about it is its uniqueness, more of a track then a tacky rendition.

General chat / Bands that X fans will like.
« on: August 02, 2009, 01:15:38 AM »
I've been a long time scavenger of music. I know where to go, when to go, and who to go to when I'm on the search for something to sex my ears up. But there is one thing that I have very rarely found: Another J-rock band that I actually like. I'm sorry but I've tried Dir En Grey's last album (I think it had to word "dark" in it, either that or it had a dark album cover) which made me turn it off the very moment the second track started playing. I've tried Versailles, Hizaki Grace Project, and some other VK band that I forget... they all sound exactly the same to me, from the guitar work to the Enka voices these bands are two shits on the same log. I could go on and on about the bands that I tried and don't like...

long story short, there are very very very few rock bands from Japan that I like. X is soo awesome because their music can send blood rushing through your veins either because of a rough, edgy badass breakdown (ala Kurenai) or because of a high-strung straight from the soul to your ears ballad.

I created this topic for the purpose of recommending fellow fans of X to suggest bands/artists that other X fans can/may appreciate.

There is only one other japanese band that I give my props to, and that is a little band named MUTYUMU. Their sound is something I've never heard before, it's something beautiful hard and jagged at the same time. Their songs truly haunt me in a way no other band has ever done to me before. Their mixture of white,innocent operatic vocals and self-inflicting, vengeful screams makes me shake in disbelief and smile at how perfect and EPIC the band is. So without any further delay: Mutyumu

So yea I was watching a few songs of X Japan and I happen to stumble upon this little number. I'm no fan of skating, but a few things caught my attention. Apparently this is a 1st place performance. The skater performed an extremely difficult triple axel move. And, the one that most obliged me to watch the video - She performs to X-Japan's very own Rose of Pain. SHE FUCKING USES A ROSE TOO!

We can all learn from Midori Ito, 1st place is nice. But What's first place without winning it in Xtyle? I will remember this for my next performance/piano festival. You have never won until you have won it with X. Midori Ito, you are my fucking idol.

EDIT: Just did a search and found a post with this video posted by Hypno already. But I still think this video deserves a thread of it's own.

General chat / The X song you are currently learning how to play
« on: May 06, 2009, 01:03:42 AM »
I'm sure all of us at some point have gotten the urge to learn how to play an X song.

Heh, thanks to a certain website I'm learning how to play Forever Love, Amethyst and Crucify My Love on piano. Mainly focusing on Crucify my Love though, the arrangement I have is really good.

And if you don't know how to play an instrument, what would be the X songs you would want to learn how to play?

If I knew how to play guitar, I would definitely learn how to play orgasm first. The bridge into Guitar solo is complete WIN.

Art of Life Live aka X Japan Returns / The second pianist...
« on: May 05, 2009, 12:18:29 AM »
Okay when Yoshiki's piano solo in art of life starts there's another person. Cosplaying as Yoshiki/IS Yoshiki that plays the beginning interlude until Yoshiki appears, this person or the second Yoshiki then fades into the stage...

Who the hell is this person? Is it a Cosplayer? A pre-recorded scene? WTF is goin on? Why has nobody asked this question?!

The Concerts / Best Live versions of ALL songs?
« on: April 16, 2009, 02:15:28 AM »
There is a topic of best lives but I believe this thread serves a slightly different purpose.

As all X-fans should know. The studio versions pale in comparison to the live versions. My mission for the past few months is to find all the best live versions of ALL songs. Hopefully everyone here can chip in and give their opinions in the hopes of creating a definitive, ultimate live setlist of X songs! I'll start off:

Stab me in the back - Blue Blood tour

From hide's part to Pata's PERFECT solo. This one is truly incredible.

Rose of Pain - X live Orchestra @ NHK hall
No contest. Probably the DEFINITIVE best version of Rose of Pain in FULL.

Endless Rain - On the verge of Destruction concert

I've never seen them so emotional while playing this song. Must have been because of Taiji leaving...

Right now I'm looking for the best live version of Standing Sex. Mind helping me out here?

EDIT: If you are contributing to this thread, the preferred format is:

Name of the Song - Tour/Live where this song was played
Video/Audio clip of the live


Through this format one will be able to find and download the songs with less hassle. And thus, less time spent searching and more time for listening!
