    Also playing GTA V on pc at the moment. Despite having some stretching of textures and whatnot, because I was so stupid to buy some bs amd graphics card, it runs pretty well for me too.
    The only thing that bothers me now is that there are still no animals in online mode :\

     

    Other games I'm playing right now are Mortal Kombat X and from time to time some Dragonball Xenoverse(too bad it feels kinda unfinished :\ )

    Hello there.

     

    I'm not too sure, how many people from Germany are even registered here, but I'll give it a try anyways.

    I want to form a kind of vk-influenced band around Düsseldorf/Essen/Dortmund.

    The plan is to create a unique sound, write songs, play lives and that stuff.

     

    There's no concept for the band yet, so that's also something we would work on together.

     

    So far we are vocals, bass and drums and we're searching for 1-2 guitarists and maybe some other instruments (keyboard? E-violin? etc)

    I didn't read every post thoroughly, so I'll just state my opinion on it

    Personally I really liked the "drastic" looks they had back then. Especially the hair - nowadays almost everyone seems to have his sujimori thing going. I miss the spikes and that stuff.

    When it comes to the music nowadays there's an important part missing for me, which I hate when it's the genre alone: Punk! The bands back then used to have much more punk influences. Everything was kinda dirty and gritty (excluding lareine, baiser and the likes) - especially the guitars.

    Those are the main things that I miss. I'm glad there are still some bands who go for that sound - sadly most I know aren't that great :D

     

    I feel like all of this has been said already though (not only in this thread, but about everywhere :D)

    I thought it was becoming boring to me between 2006 and 2008 and stopped listening to new releases. But then I realized that I still like the old stuff and that there is even more old music I haven't heard yet. I think even if the new bands are becoming more repetitive you can still listen to the oldies. Or you realize that you no longer like it, move on and listen to something else.

     

    What I don't understand are people who stop liking VK and then try to diss it, probably to show how much more mature they now are for having "grown out of it." In the vein of "I used to be such a Visual kei weaboo, but now I listen to real muzic. How could I ever like this? Only little kids listen to it, bcuz VK is silly and sucks!!" I found a whole blog with people like this on livejournal once. They tried so hard to look cool, it's funny and sad at the same time.

    yeah my point was only about most newer bands. I still enjoy listening to the old stuff and there are even some very few newer bands that I can enjoy. I just can't see any more of those blitz and realies bands or the big bunch of "different" gazettes and whatnot - what made vk interesting for me personally was the originality of some concepts (and the many crappy old school bands, that are still entertaining while sucking) and that exactly is something that's becoming pretty rare

    Cali=/=Gari: I found a CD of them on eBay that nobody bothered to bid on, so I've got it for 1€. Listened to it like 100 times on repeat after it, because I loced it so much :D

     

    Asaki: I think for me tentei is by far the best release of 2013. It just blew me away!

     

    emmurée: randomly tried them out and loved the sound and their vocalist.

     

    deadman: Never really liked them that much. I think emmurée kinda opened that door though.

     

    Frau Potz: some strange German punk rock-ish band. I usually hate that genre, but their lyrics are really spot on and the guitars remind me of dredg, who are another favorite of mine.

    I've always believed that if most western VK bands had been actually Japanese then they wouldn't get most of the hate they're getting now. VK fans who are talking bad about artists like Seremedy, YOHIO himself and other examples I can't think of but do themselves listen to artists like MEJIBRAY, D.I.D or any other metalcore inspired VK bands are just hypocrites. When I say I don't like Seremedy that is for the same reason that I don't like MEJIBRAY, regardless of nationality.

     

    I doubt YOHIO would've gotten all that negative feedback on his album if he had been Japanese. There would've been plenty of VK fans who would've said it was one of the best albums of the year.

     

    Further than that, I dislike western VK because the music just isn't good. If they play the same stuff as Japanese bands I don't like then that only makes sense. Like Dispo said, they need to get their inspiration from more artists or different artists, if not it will remain as static as always. If you've got 50 gaijin-bands ripping off GazettE or DEG or MEJIBRAY (as seems to be popular now) nothing's going to change.

    I agree. Doing that stuff while not being Japanese is really hard. As some others in here I know the amount of hate you can get when trying to do your own VK stuff, but still I try my best, as it is the thing I want to do.

    I also think, that the music should not depend on what VK bands usually do. I think music is most interesting, when successfully creating something new and/or innovative regardless of the looks.
