VioletCamicat: I assume you dont like Yoshiki's "bashing" on the piano during songs?? Everyone seems to love it, I thought I was the only one who hated it!

And yes, it was me who uploaded that video.. thats my youtube account :D


Well, my post in the "I don't like"-thread was just too long already. :oops: :P So I left out some things. :roll: I don't really hate it tho... it's just.... @.@ I simply don't understand that, that's all. I bet, he has a reason for that or it has a special meaning. :? But I don't really know, hehe. I guess it's the same like I don't understand some other kinds of arts. Some call picasso a genius - I don't get his pictures. @_@

General chat / (least) favourite solos
« on: August 21, 2007, 05:39:47 PM »
Is there meant live or studio version now? :oops:

My favorite is the bass in Xclamation!
And live would then be this one. :3~
*pokes Biz* xD Hey, I just now realized, that it must be you, who added this on youtube. *giggles*

And least.. hmm :oops: .. dunno really. There is some piano solo I don't like, but I've forgotten, which song it was live. It's when Yoshiki makes his "special art" by hitting the keys seemingly randomly.
Well, studio version of that then would be Es dur no piano Sen (hope I've written it the right way now *hides*), when I'm not wrong now.

Hrmpf.. they should at least make exceptions. In my favorite bar - I'm not kidding now - EVERYBODY smokes. Also the barkeepers.
I think they should leave the decision to the bar owners. They see how their guests are. And I bet many barowners would decide for non-smoking on their own. But the owner of my favorite bar would definitely not.
T_T Man! A heavy metal bar without smoking. That's so untrue! |D

Well, nevermind. Though I'm smoker I have no problem to not smoke for some hours. Even at home I do so, because I only smoke on the balcony - keeps the walls white and the clothes well smelling. And my cat will also stay healthy then (btw the main point why I don't smoke inside of my appartment).  :)  And I'm often way too lazy for going out to the balcony for a cigarette - so I don't do so and don't smoke, haha.

Don't watch Hostel 2! I was that disappointed! :evil:
I saw the first part and thought it's pretty okay, because I think, things like that could really happen. And I enjoy movies without superstars.
But the second part. Man! Everybody was behaving completely stupid there! It was boring and tasteless. =_=

I  mean, you have a different opinion than me, that's ok, but you'd make it easier for me to understand if you explained why you had this impression. And yes, I DO read everything in your post, and I certainly do understand most of it :P


Okay, then I got you wrong. But 'how' isn't 'why' for me, sorry. :P :wink:
Why I have this impression is pretty simple.
For instance in my neighbourhood and in my school - suddenly "every"(that's overacted :P) youngster was Nirvana fan and saw Cobain as somekind of hero (and I never saw people as heroes who had a lifestyle like Kurt, sorry). Maybe it was coincidence then, I don't know. But from that day on there was suddenly a bunch of people in my class who wanted to know more about them from me (and I asked them, why they don't read the articles and watch MTV then, since I was anyways bugged about the topic).
I mean... I had the feeling, that they became fan then because everybody was talkin about. Maybe they liked the music before, but were not fans (I also like lots of music, but am not really fanatic about most) and this was just the point, where they decided to become fans. And my impression is just, that this happens often in cases like this.
I don't know.
But I guess most of this maybe is caused by newspapers and so on. Some do really overact with the way they report and can cause somehow a kind of hysteria. They do this (as it seems to me) with pleasure especially with famous idols like the ones I mentioned.

As soon as artists commit suicide or have an accident or whatever dramatic cause of death in the younger years there are suddenly twice (or even more) as much fans as before their death.


How can you tell? From what I remember Cobain had a huge, and I mean HUGE, fanbase before his death (as did Nirvana), and I remeber an outcry of fans around the world the day he died. I became Nirvana fan after his death as well, but not because I thought "hey, wow, that dude killed himself, now that's interesting" but for the simple fact that I liked the music. And for what I know that is how most Nirvana fans become/became Nirvana fans.


Are you reading, what I'm writing? I don't want a fight, but that seems to me, like you only pic out one sentence out of the whole statement and ignore the expression of the rest.
I never said, that there were no(or only few) fans before. :P
And I say so, because it was simply my own impression. Once more: I don't claim that it's fact. It's simply my own view and nothing else.
I have no numbers of fans before and after the death of certain artists, so it can be that I'm wrong and I won't deny this then. :wink:

For me it's simply the usual James Dean/Jim Morrison/Elvis Presley/Kurt Cobain and so on phenomenon.


Now that is something that annoys me. Are you fan of any of theirs or have you at least listened to their stuff or seen it? These people were hyped BEFORE their death, otherwise there would never have been that legend status.


Yes I listened to their stuff/watched it - otherwise I'd never mentioned them. I was Nirvana fan before Cobain died for instance. And after he blew his head away I could see how the number of fans increased exponentially.
I don't say that the hype is completly shit, it's just the extreme way what bugs me. I don't meant that all these people weren't superstars before and only became it after they died - naturally not.
But especially fans who get to know the work of an artist only after his/her death in my opinion wouldn't be that heavy interested, if the person was still alive. Of course not all of them, that's clear.

And James Brown.. well - he got old. Tadaaa~ - no extremely hyped legend. Even Johnny Cash! One of the most famous country artists. Of course there was a movie and all this stuff, but somehow I have the feeling that his CDs aren't that much more sold as before and there came not that much more new fans. All those stars who died much older never had a hype after death which was that extreme in my opinion.
As soon as artists commit suicide or have an accident or whatever dramatic cause of death in the younger years there are suddenly twice (or even more) as much fans as before their death.

Well, I never said it's a fact... it's just my opinion, because to me it seems like this.

Okay... don't wanna interrupt a chat here, but I gotta reply to the main topic, hehe.

What I don't like on X(Japan) - where should I start it?
Since they are musicians, I'd start with the music and afterwards mention the rest.

Albums/recordings:
Hate me for that, but I can't stand most of the ballads! I won't deny that I first liked them, since the arrangements aren't bad at all - no doubt in that points. But I just prefer rock music in general and the more I listened to the ballads the less I liked them. :roll:
I mostly listen to music to cheer me up, but this doesn't mean that I dislike ballads in general. For instance I love November Rain from G'n'R or Only Women Bleed from Alice Cooper. But these are somehow different in my ears... somehow not THAT dramatic. If I didn't knew the background of the X ballads I'd just say they're too much overacted. IF! With knowing what they mean especially to Yoshiki and with knowing that these songs were somehow therapy for him I cannot say that it's overacted, but that I simply don't like this special style Yoshiki created in these ballads.
The only exception for me is Voiceless Screaming - for me a ballad like November Rain or Only Women Bleed. Simply like that song!
And I rarely listen to the Album Dahlia. It's not only the fact that Taiji isn't there anymore, but much more the arrangements and the ballance between ballads and rocking songs. Apart from this: The few rock songs on Dahlia to me simply sound sytheticly and somehow lifeless.

Lives:
Some parts of the lives to me seem often a little bit too overacted and theatrical. There I mean again especially Yoshiki's style.
Also the way he plays the drums is in my opinion somehow a little bit too straight and... well... maybe the translation is wrong now - statically.
I have no problems when there's used much double bass drum, but there are soooooo many possiblities to emphasize and make sophisticated styles with rhythm. In my opinion it would sound more interesting, if there are used some technical skills, but not only this timingproof and straight style (also sometimes a little bit liveless - I DON'T mean the apperance, but only the sound now!). For instance here: Eric Carr from KISS had a style I really like - especially in his solos.
What I also don't like that much is, that hide was in my opinion too often somehow in the center of interest. Especially after Taiji left it seemed to me somehow not really ballanced anymore. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but it's simply my impression. And often I think hide is anyways overvalued. :? Don't wanna say, that he was a bad musician - never! But he's not the god for me, like some people say about him.

Appearance:
Sunglasses suck, if they're worn TOO often!  :evil: It's anyways the business of the one who wears them, but in my opinion they really can disturb! 8)  :P
The general apperance from X(Japan) never really disturbed me. Though I like the appearance of the older days more - especially the style between Blue Blood and Jealousy was in my opinion pretty cool!
That they changed then... I dunno - somehow I can understand that, but somehow I missed the older style then. At least the rocker style I missed then.

Last but not least - Fans:
I don't like fans, who say their idols are perfect/gods/the best artists ever! It's because I see a HUGE difference between saying an own opinion and claiming facts. At least they should say "He is my god"/"The best band I've ever heard" then. In that point I'm really small-minded and I think all depends on taste. In my opinion there doesn't exist a BEST.
And what I also don't like is screaming like hell, because one of their idols moved one finger. I'm glad that I never was at a concert which turned out like the SKIN-gig! I think it's just unfair to not LISTEN and to make the rest of the audience also unable to listen. Fuckin' hell, when I'm a concert I wanna hear and look, but not cry and yell like an insane baby puppy.
And really bugging for me are many hide fans. Sorry for that and maybe I have some enemies from now on, but: hide was ALSO only a human being! The fans have to accept, that he's dead now and will never come back. They can keep him in mind and whatever, but I'm really sure, that some fans are only that extremely fans because he died. For me it's simply the usual James Dean/Jim Morrison/Elvis Presley/Kurt Cobain and so on phenomenon. Of course all these guys were talented, but there are also LIVING talented musicians who should be respected at least the same way.

 :oops: Sorry for that really long entry.
*coughes* Should I mention, that X isn't my favorite band, but ONE of my favorite bands? I never can choose a favorite one - as I said before: For me there doesn't exist a BEST!  :P

Albums/Singles / Your Favourite X Japan CD
« on: August 08, 2007, 07:26:18 PM »
:?  I can't vote - simply not possible.
It's because I like Vanishing Vision, Blue Blood and Silent Jealousy best - for me all the three albums have an own unique and irresistable charme. I could choose some songs of all the three and put them together on one album! :P

:twisted:  And except Voiceless Screaming I'd leave out every ballad - that's it. *runs and hides*

Well, I won't buy it even if I had the chance. Though I'm a big Taiji fan, I couldn't do anything with it, but looking at the pages and swear that I cannot read Japanese. :roll:

o.o' May I ask, where the problem is, that he published that book?
I know, this is now older stuff here, but it really interests me.
Personally, I don't think, that he "didn't do anyone a favour by pupblishing it"...
._. Honestly that sounds really mean to me! In the end it was his decision and I didn't hear about, that it caused any trouble.
I really would be happy if I was able to read Japanese and especially this book. Even IF there are lies in it: In my opinion Taiji is a really fair and honest person and if he really lies, then - IMO - for a really serious reason.

I'm newbie here and because I'm D.T.R fan I decided to post here first, hehe.

ö.ö Well, I'm really curious about the new recordings and hop it'll soon be released.

Just as an information: I'm planning an English D.T.R-tribute on myspace. It's not clear, if I can realize this, but I'll try. So if anyone's interested, maybe reply.
If I really manage it, I'll post the information here as well. :3
