''Audience members taking photos of bands at lives is in fact a bad thing and should be forbidden, even abroad''

at their lives x

i'd argue that the dude from the pillows definitely does sound somewhat different in their early days compared to the power pop era they've stuck with for the majority of their career, not massively different, but still Seikima-II's vocalist Demon Kogura has been ballin from the very start and not much has changed over the years, the same could be said about the band in general. Polysics have pretty much stuck with the same sound they started out with for their entire career as well, although i guess some of their later stuff is a bit less raw and a bit more poppy, but the energy's still the same

Morrie is like one of the biggest examples of this, to a point where i'd argue he can't really sing some of Dead End's older stuff properly anymore. Compare the original version of Spider in the Brain to that live footage from 2012 up on YT for an example of what I mean. I like both the old Dead End stuff and Morrie's newer work, but it does legit sound like two different dudes. Ryutarou from Plastic Tree's voice hasn't really changed drastically over the years, he still definitely sounds like himself, but I'd argue his voice has at least somewhat deteriorated in recent years when compared to how it was on some of their earlier albums. I guess it might be a smoking-related thing? A non-VK related case similar to the previous one would be Art-School's Riki. Again, I'd say he's still pretty recognizable as far as his singing voice goes, but somewhere in the period after they dropped that ILLMATIC BABY ep his voice kinda started to sound a lot.. well, rougher. Probably again related to smoking and drinking. Yusuke Chiba from TMGE / Rosso / The Birthday / whatever else he's been in also sounds a lot raspier nowadays than he did in the earlier days. It was always kind of there, but I feel like it kinda started to change somewhere around the later end of TMGE's career

sea of retards is the only dir en grey song i've ever heard

absolutely

vk needs more bands with proper screamo-style vocals and less growling / pig squeals imho

i have no idea what the actual venue is like cuz i've never been there, but with a place like Joe's Pub i just cant help but visualize some tiny-ass dive bar in the middle of nowhere lol

Guniw Tools - Niwlun cali≠gari - Dai 6 Jikkenshitsu Buck-Tick - 13kai wa Gekkou Plastic Tree - Puppet Show Merry - Modern Garde coincidentally these are also the only 5 visual kei albums that exist

dorothy sounds like absolute dogshit to me both in terms of audio quality and as a song just based on the sample but idk maybe they'll pull some surprise 180 and have it go in a totally different direction everything else seems interesting, i really like the trip hop influences sneaking in here and there

wish i was able to chop hard boiled eggs into perfectly even slices in midair like my favorite anime characters

i'm glad they're still doing the noodle guitar thing & i'm not really tired of it yet, but it did kinda sound like there were just 2 different songs playing on top of each other during the 'chorus' (i guess it's the chorus?) bit

im tryin to keep it real about my dude PINOKIWO

here's the new meme guys, use it wisely
