What the hell are you guys talking about? This band hasn't made a single shitty song yet. Except for the covers, but nobody gives a shit about those. And lol @ comparing them to Gazette. ABC are better like over 9000 times. And Yasu has been on the top for almost a decade, so accusing him for making money NOW is kinda ludicrous.

So this is what Yasu has been up to. Glad they're starting to release stuff on a faster pace again. But I guess the break was needed, for Yasu to recover his voice.

RIP, dude. You were the greatest bassist in the history of Japan.

We're on the fourth page and we already have it all. Comparing to Dir en grey, comparing to earlier gazette songs "lol it has growls, RECYCLING". Jeez, these guys still doing music? They should start doing videos of them mowing the lawn. I bet they would be better at that. Well anyway, judging by the sample, I think it's gonna be better than Vortex. Which doesn't take much, since Vortex sucked major balls. And I like the looks. Just jeans and casual shirts. Nice. Honestly I never thought I'd see them do this.

Actually, I'd really like to see Ruki doing a solo-career, since all the best songs are composed by him anyway. Distress and Coma, Headache Man, Leech, Without a Trace etc. Do it!

I don't mind hearing new stuff, but come on guys, take a break. Out of those 5 singles, only Red and Pledge were good.

Different Sense I love it. Uroboros was a real turn in their career from pure shit to something decent. If you ignore Hageshisa, everything after that has been pretty great. And fuck yeah guitar solo. They're finally getting a hold of what good metal is. Glad they're trying to be something more that just a faggy japanese version of Slipknot. 9/10 Haven't listened to the rest. Don't really care at the moment.

Pretty much every VK band does solo's like that.

Vortex Decent. Quite catchy. Auto-tune is a huge minus. 7/10 Uncertain sense Decent. It would've been much better if they dumped those faggy teenagehardcoremetal-parts. 7/10 Break Me While I appreciate the fact that they did someting completely different from their usual style, and the solo being superawesome. THEY FUCKING STOLE EVERY GOD DAMN RIFF FROM HIDE'S BREEDING. Even the vocal melodies during verse and pre-chorus are almost the same. Not cool dudes, not cool at all. A really nice song to rip-off, but fuck man, don't make it so obvious. 2/10 Pledge was a million times better.

Umm, why? Basic black clothes, very little details. Hair is balanced and it doesn't look like it was cut by someone with parkinsons disease, like with most VK-fags. They look actually very normal. But hey, normal can be funny too. Eww, no. Whole chorus with auto-tune is instant fail. Though using it in the first place is too. Too bad Gazette fell for it.

There is no evidence Osama was behind 9/11. He specificly denied being involved. The "confession video" was released months later, yet he has been blamed for the event since it happened. Not to mention that Osama looks very different in the confession video. I guess he got a nosejob ey? Oh, and there's no confession in the video. He was probably still a dangerous terrorist, but I doubt he did 9/11. These things are so suspicious that it doesn't even make sense. Dumping the body in to ocean? Building 7 going down a free fall? Claiming to have proper evidence in picture and video -form, but NOT making it public? It's as if they want everyone to go all conspiracy.

Oh lol, I haven't listened to Opeth for years and I remembered they did mostly stuff like Harvest. My bad. Yeah, the similarities are pretty non-existant. But Harvest is still totally like DIM. And Harvest is as generic as a rock-ballad can be, though it is indeed beautiful. Not so hard = pretty much is a synonym for easy. But I don't think we can go anywhere with that.

Easy, not so hard, uh, it's pretty much the same thing dude. I think TMOAB sucks. It is still clearly a professionally made album, it's somewhat nicely thought out. I'd say they accomplished with it what they intended to. They made it while touring, which is pretty cool. But it's still very bad in my opinon. But yeah, I was exxaggarating as hell. Harvest could be any Gazette song and you know it! Just add koto, some strings and more sevenths and you get DIM.

You said music should be left to those who find it easy. There ain't many ways to interpret that. But fair enough. I defend Gazette mostly, because people who bash them seem to bash them just for being Gazette. It's so ridiculous it's hard to tell whether people are trolling or just idiots. I don't really "bash" Dir en grey. I barely even post in their threads nowadays. And I really liked their previous single, so I don't know where that came from. I do think most of their stuff is crap, but I can see they have talent when they want, and they do know what they're doing. I still don't like their sound and style most of the time at all. Plus I secretly despise them for making TMOAB, which is the second worst album from Japan ever. But those bands are like day and night so this discussion is pointless here. I never implied you were a teenager, I said you sound like one. Atleast the matter of DT and Opeth we can agree on. PS make Ruki sing any song from Blackwater Park and you get DIM. Trufax, saying anything else is denial.

Gazette is doing really well within this genre. Everyone who understands music can see that they obviously know what they do. Whether they have "talent" is questionable, but I think they proved with DIM that they can do some pretty awesome shit if they want. They can play really well and they can compose really well. You don't have to like them, but it would be pretty "uneducated" to say this band doesn't have their shit together. Though I do think that atleast half of Gazette's stuff is really lame, some of which simply sucks. If that's what you wanted to hear. It is a concept. It's a simple one, it wasn't invented by them, but it's still a concept. And who cares? You first blabbered some bs that music should be left to those who find it easy. That's the complete opposite of what you just said right there. I still think you don't understand much about music, since it seems like you don't even know what shredding is. Gazette has like one song with shredding. Lol but that's splitting hairs. Liking Gazette, or any band, is all about opinions and has nothing to do with "higher appreciation of music". That's another thing which makes me think you just don't really understand music, as in music itself. You could be the greatest composer ever and know every secret about music, yet you could still enjoy mediocre crap. It's simple as that. Understanding music and appreciating it has nothing to do with the bands you like. It seems like you lack the skill to analyze songs in an objective way. Plus you sound like a teenager who just found Dream Theater and Opeth. Now you can go back to your superawesome and vast music appreciation.

Lol @ the vocoder. It sounds like it's missing something, but it's not bad. Solo had a neat idea, but it sucked. Maybe it'll be better in proper quality. The feeling is kinda like in BID, except this isn't so terrible.

I watch VK porn for the lulz. This video was pretty lame, like expected. I still wanted watch it. I don't understand people who complain about people commenting on someone having sex. And no one was being surprised about the sex part. Sex is no big deal, no shit? That's like complaining about discussion about eating. LOL PEOPLE EAT FOOD.

i know this is off topic but...who the person on your avatar? I don't remember her name, but she's from the korean pop-band, miss A.

I think Sono looks pretty good this way. They should always look like that. Song is ridiculously simple, but it sounds nice.

I'm really surprised that they killed him. Or atleast announced it. Why now? He's been used as the reason for the war for a decade. What now? Isn't it profitable anymore? And what about the threat? They said that if Osama is captured or killed, a nuke will blow off in europe. This was like a week ago and then bam, Osama is killed. This is really starting to look like we're getting set up for world war III. Things will either suddenly start going really well, or shit will totally hit the fan.

Not one of those. Just said how most metalheads think. Personally I don't give a shit.

^ Well, of course. I'd say it's 90% Daisuke, since all his friends did was record some parts and mixed it. But it doesn't matter. Just gotta enjoy all he managed to do in such a short life.

Dir en grey isn't metal. Korn isn't metal. Slipknot isn't metal. Marilyn Manson isn't metal. This is the common mentality of metalheads. Those are, as "real metalheads" say; "gay bands for teenagers". I used to hang around in a looooot of metalforums, and those bands were no no. Sure it's ok to like them, but call them metal and shitstorm is ready. But I do agree. Most VK bands who try to be metal just fail miserably. Dir en grey atleast has a clue what's going on. PS Gazette has said they're not a metal band and never will be.

Lol yeah, you were right, those were totally re-recorded. But so were Daisuke's vocals, which is pretty noticable especially in Iya and Sacher. Honestly we can never know if these were completely re-done after his death, or did Daisuke intend it this way. I think it would be blasphemy if the solo of Uso to Meiro was changed by someone other than Daisuke. Especially 'cause it's worse. But I'm pretty sure it was Daisuke.

That means you didn't listen to the whole album. Dying made these songs much less awesome, because most of this is clearly unfinished.
