Hey! I'm John, I'm a singer/guitar player from Sweden I got into japanese music in 2005 when I discovered Luna Sea. Since then some of my favorite bands have been Janne Da Arc, MUCC, The GazettE, Abingdon Boys School, Bazra and well many others. I'm also a big fan of Kumi Koda A few years ago I started a YT channel called "JRockLessons" where a group of us joined together and made tutorials on how to play certain songs or solos from japanese bands. I haven't had the time to be that active with it for a while, having been very busy with my own bands This is the band I'm in now! I'm the lead singer dude guy Hope to meet some cool people on here, take care! //John

? I never claimed anything different. Demos are exactly that. The cheapest and easiest way to show your stuff to people. A couple years ago the typical medium for that would be a tape, yes. Today the typical medium would be a digital file, either homeburned to a cd or uploaded on the internet. So a band to record a typical 90s vk demo today doesn't do it because it's the easiest way (like their idols did), they do it out of nostalgia even though a digital version would have been easier to edit and easier to spread. It's basically classicism. ---- I actually couldn't find any of my favorites on youtube unfortunately, but this video is dubbed with Syndromes 'vogue' demo which is one of their best songs. (imho)

Lol, that is fucking awful. Hahaha. My brain hurts a bit... But nevermind, at least he's got a lot of safety pins there...

Wasn't too big on INFERIORITY COMPLEX nor EXODUS, but I did like LIGHTNING and BALLAD and since I guess these two will be most probably on the album, I'm curious to see what it'll bring.

This is like some Da ViViD code shit
