For my dears

Kamijo doesn't look like a washed up 80s rocker so I don't get why people are claiming Zin is trying to be him. He doesn't even look aristocratic this time. If he did, then you could say he's a budget Kamijo because right now I'm not seeing the similarities.
 
And I'm not feeling this look. It's like they all belong in different bands.

Looking forward to it.

I've been a fan since 2006 and haven't heard an X Japan or hide song. I'm not interested so I never bothered listening, lol. I could name drop  song titles that I've seen everywhere but wouldn't actually know what they sound like.

Bidoh is Elvis Presley.

I don't know if this is a lisp or not but I've always noticed it with words like "kizuato" and "shizuka" and it always bothered me idk

So that's what it is. I always wondered, lol.

The only classical music composer I actually ever actively listened to was Mozart, and that's mostly because one of his pieces was in a videogame I used to play alot xD

there's not any 'bands' on this genre lmao but I can't really stand classical baroque music except for a few composers like Bach, Buxtehude or Rameau  to name a few. These guys have write stuff for lute and some sonatas  that I really dig but I can't stand the rest of their music.

Do yourself a favor and read the manga, ten times better than any of the adaptions. With that said, the movies are what I consider to be the best adaption of the series so far... the 90's series is good but a severely inaccurate adaption, and the newest series is just not really that good, horrible animation, shitty pacing, and skips a lot of key scenes.

God, if you exist, could you explain to me why drugs are my only friends

I think this 'new song' sounds cool. He always sounds so melodic on these shred passages. Hahah Can't wait to see them live on the South American tour.

DREAMS, by Akira Kurosawa. I already watched it three times, actually. It's like 8 short movies, every one with a different history, based upon Akira Kurosawa's dreams. It's great, just don't watch it under the influence of anything, lol.

I listen to a ton of instrumental music, not just metal. But a good portion of it is instrumental metal. As guitarist I'm usually attracted to a lot of technical and guitar shred type material.
 
 
Really recommended Angle Vivaldi for technical, yet very emotional and melodic material.
 
Another of my favorites is Polyphia, They're recent material has toned down the metal for a more rock vibe but they're still incredibly amazing.
 
 
 Another great release was the recent solo album by Jason Richardson. The guy is an absolute monster on guitar. 
 
Gotta love early intervals for their djenty prog metal.
 
And of course anything by Keith marrow, or Jeff Loomis
 
 
Be back for round 2.

Really nice Visutox, I really really dig Buckethead too! I've been listening to his pike series a lot, tho I only like the heavy riffing ones haha. His mellow stuff is also nice, but what I really like is when he just shreds and noodle it haha.

The only instru-metal (love that word haha) I've been listening to lately is Buckethead and Vipassi. The fact if whether Buckethead can be qualified as metal or not is arguable but thing is the man is incredibly gifted. I love when the music gets progressive or simply when it adds that avant-gardiste touch. Really amazing stuff.
 
 
And for the curious ones, Vipassi is the side band of three Ne Obliviscaris members and they play what sounds like (instrumental) technical death metal to my ears. The bass line sounds exactly like Obscura but that ain't a bad thing at all. This shit is enjoyable as fuck. 
 
 
I also enjoy listening to some Angel Vivaldi sometimes when I'm on the mood. And obviously AAL, which are absolutely great. Not a huge fan of instrumental metal though, as I love to have some sick gutturals on my metal but hey, sometimes it's exactly what you need. So this thread is a good thing for me to discover some stuff. 

let's all jump in front of a train
