Voicelss Screaming is Taiji's song. Unless Taiji comes with them I don't think that they would/could play it.

Voiceless Screaming is from both Taiji and ToshI: music = Taiji, lyrics = toshI
I hope they will perform it, I do believe 'read hope

' Taiji will be guest in some future lives, because I really want to hear Voiceless Screaming be performed one more time with Toshi's actuall voice and with Sugizo's violin!!! ( and Heath on bass, Pata and Taiji on guitar)

It would be fantastic to hear it again. I hope one day it wll be possible. When was the last time they actually played that song live?

Ann1958 · **Reply #92 on:** August 23, 2010, 06:35:01 PM

I think Tokyo Dome in january 1992? , the last concert with Taiji.
But ToshI performed it one more time solo I think thereafter, mayby 1993?

Palma · **Reply #93 on:** August 23, 2010, 06:38:18 PM

I know that Taiji performed it (well a version of it) with DTR and also with his sister when they were together in Otokaze...

I hope they dont play jade, born to be free and IV. Not feeling any of thier new songs , but chances are they are going to play it just becaues IV and Jade are both in english.

dilbot · **Reply #95 on:** August 23, 2010, 10:49:03 PM

^That's unrealistic. They're going to play Jade/Born to be Free/I.V because those are most likely going to be the singles their going to release stateside to America. This isn't the reunion tour anymore, this is the promotional tour for their new album. In fact, I'm pretty sure the set list that we'll see in the states will be the very same song list we see on the album.

To my previous post saying we needed a good vanishing vision live, nevermind, I stand corrected. Some guy just posted a 1992 version of Vanishing Love 0.o

I NEED TO FIND THIS CONCERT!!!!!!!

Sander · **Reply #96 on:** August 24, 2010, 01:44:51 PM

That's the "On the Verge of Destruction" concert series, second day. Only the third day has been released, but the second day audio is available as a bootleg from traders and more hardcore fans. I didn't know the video was out there.

dilbot · **Reply #97 on:** August 24, 2010, 02:18:48 PM

Do you have any idea what that second day was called? I'm sure I'll be able to find it somewhere...

Feudal · **Reply #98 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:08:29 PM

Cool video, I always like the backstage stuff, it's rare

Btw, I've always wondered who those 2 white guys are around 43 seconds in. The guy with the long blonde hair in a pony tail, is he like some manager for them? I've noticed him in a lot of these kinds of video's and what's funny is he always seems to be seeing if Yoshiki is ok and is all on top of him and Yoshiki just brushes him off like whatever, it's so funny. Are these guys management or stage hands or something?

Palma · **Reply #99 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:11:43 PM

Judging by his size he must be a personal bodyguard.

Feudal · **Reply #100 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:14:07 PM

Yea I think you're right. Both of them are pretty big guys, so yea...never thought of that.

Brandon · **Reply #101 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:43:00 PM

Just received my ticket in the mail! Its so beautiful seeing "X JAPAN" and "Toronto" on the same ticket.

Palma · **Reply #102 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:46:00 PM

Now I just hope that Yoshiki will stop drinking California wine in French restaurants while he is sick as a dog!

Me too, I'm really concerned about him. We all know he is a drama queen but I think this is a REALLY hard time right now..they JUST started getting back on a roll and have everything planned for North America, everyone is great, and then hide's fucking brother attempts to ruin it all...not only for our sake but for Yo's and the band, I hope this lawsuit does not alter the North American tour. Fuck, Yoshiki is always being held back, poor guy.

Palma · **Reply #104 on:** August 24, 2010, 08:04:48 PM

Yoshiki just needs to take care of himself and let his lawyers and his management team's lawyers handle the rest. That would be their job. His job is to make music and be in in shape for the tour.

LunaSlave · **Reply #105 on:** August 24, 2010, 08:11:05 PM

just got my tickets too! I'm so hyped for this.

Ann1958 · **Reply #106 on:** August 24, 2010, 08:17:59 PM

Let him drink his wine when he likes it, he will be ok

It is just a shame in my opinion to drink California whine in French restaurants...there you have to drink French wine

Everything will be ok, they have had harder things to go through!

EDIT:

I am glad for you Lunaslave!
Have a great time there and everybody who will go!

I don't know why I didn't choose for the ticket to be mailed to me.... I have to pick mine up from the casino down the street one of these days soon... I'm assuming it'll be printed lol
I think I'm still in a bit of shock that I'll actually get to see them live... I think by the time I discovered them it was 2000 or so, so they were long since split up. I never never never thought I would get to see them live! As it stands, I'm travelling and going to the concert alone because nobody else I know (that can afford it) has a clue who they are... but there's no chance I'm missing it~! I bought the "On the Verge of Destruction" concert in high school and never looked back! haha
I'm out of my mind excited now... I may be completely insane come October. Sorry for those seated around me, I will be screaming/singing the entire time... as if anyone will actually be "seated" and completely silent at an X concert, lol.

Also, definitely up for a meet-up somewhere. Just say where and when and I'll be there!

(And yes Thomas, you do know me lol)

I'm in the same category. I first heard them in 1995, but for whatever reason they didn't really catch my attention at that time. I heard a bit of Endless Rain and thought 'oh, that's nice' but never really gave it too much thought. Around the beginning of 96 or so I heard Silent Jealousy and was hooked forever.

After they disbanded a year later I never, ever thought I'd get to see them live. I think the only thing that could possibly top this concert for me would be a Luna Sea concert in Toronto. lol sorry, X freaks - but they're my favorite, even though I discovered X first!

Oh and yeah, I said this before, but I'm really interested in a meetup as well

dilbot · **Reply #111 on:** August 25, 2010, 03:14:18 AM

Brandon · **Reply #113 on:** August 25, 2010, 04:39:29 AM

I'll be sporting my hide shirt, it has a big "X Japan" logo on that back!

Thomas849 · **Reply #114 on:** August 25, 2010, 04:54:44 AM

and im guessing it has hide with his long red hair holding his guitar in front of him? lol

Dango · **Reply #115 on:** August 25, 2010, 04:57:12 AM

I don't have any X gear. I've never really been one to buy band things... I have a jrockrevolution shirt and that's about as close as I can get. I wonder if I could find a neckalce or something before toronto lol

LunaSlave · **Reply #116 on:** August 25, 2010, 05:02:39 AM

I don't have any X Japan clothing - and I have a ton of band shirts. I was thinking of wearing my Loudness t-shirt

Mines a variation of that one except it's with hide's short hair and a psyence label on the front.
