  1. I love lots of disbanded bands, as well as quite a few active ones. Sometimes I feel bands that have broken up are easier to get into: you don't have any expectations or anticipations of new releases, you can see how they progress from release to release, and you can just enjoy their work as a whole.


  2. In after people are whining about white-kei, Cinema Bizarre was marketed as 30-years-too-late glam-rock, not Visual-kei. Although, the fact that all of the members met at an anime convention makes it a bit ambiguous; I'm pretty sure they never labeled, nor have their producers labeled, themselves as VK.


  3. Well this one time I met up with a couple Columbian drug lords at a cock fight, they takes me down to an abandoned warehouse and tell me to strip down to my panties while I hold onto the radiator. I figure what the heck? Then I hear the click click click of the bigger one's peg leg coming towards me...he takes off his leg and slides it...

    ...under the radiator to hit a secret switch, causing the room to light up with vibrant lights and confetti to fall from the ceiling. Then Frypan pops out of one of the crates and starts giving me my own personal show :staru::hug: ~My prince has come~


  4. I've seen the Piass be described as crust metal as well, along with a mixture of other genres. Then again, no band ever fits into a cookie-cutter genre frame, even if they label themselves as one.

    Chaos System has a lot of weird genres to them. They only have around 10 songs (including weird demos that sound like 45 seconds of a whole song) but each one is pretty different from another. They are kind of a mixture of punk, hard-core, and I've seen them described as "psychedelic punk" as well. All of their songs definitely have a kote-kei influence thrown in as well.

    Even if they weren't 100% ground-breaking, Pyuera did sound pretty different from everything else I've heard on Soleil. The melodies of their songs were pretty typical of stuff around 99~00, but they liked to be heavy on the electronic parts in their music (probably due to the lack of members).

    On a similar note, Aliene Ma'riage has a lot of weird genre mashing going on as well, although this time it's more gothic and industrial influences (even a bit of groove-metal on their 2nd album) that make them have a "...not really sure what to call this..." sound to them. In comparison to bands of today they're definitely different, but even when they were around they sounded abnormal for 1999.

    Because I had to. Whether you love them or hate them, they really stand out from what was going on at the time they were around (only speaking for the Gackt / Klaha eras though. I haven't listened to the Tetsu one, so I cannot speak for that time period). Although their music isn't from an unusual genre by today's standards, each of their releases was more or less a completely different genre from the single before it.


  5. I haven't listened to the whole single yet, but the drumming sounds exactly the same as with Leda, their support drummer, or Maiyu. For the most part, I consider visual-kei drummers to be interchangeable without making a huge, or any, difference--like here, or Secilia Luna for example.


  6. Meh, depends on the song. Some long songs I like because they sound like 8 songs mashed into one mp3, like 70% of everything Dream Theater ever released (although not all of them are that interesting). For me, long is 6:30 or longer.

    Favorite long ones ;) :

    *Dream Theater- The Shattered Fortress (12:50)

    *Dream Theater- Overture (6:51)

    *Dream Theater- Honor Thy Father (10:14)

    *Versailles - God Palace -Method of Inheritance- (10:30)

    *Versailles - The Love from a Dead Orchestra (8:29)

    Aliene Ma'riage- SUICIDE~洗礼の章 (7:39)

    Damned Spirit's Dance- Fake (7:24)

    Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me (10:56)

    *Avenged Sevenfold - M.I.A. (8:46)

    * = Listen to semi-often, but skip parts of the song like keyboard filler, cardboard cut-out actors, the ending of the song, etc.

    I have the files for / have listened to other songs, some longer, some around the same length, but they don't really come to mind as favorites when thinking about this. I tend to favor songs at around 3~4 minutes long with really catchy melodies the most in terms of listening to them on repeat (by repeat I mean 2~4 times. I can't listen to the same song over and over again).

    The longest song I've ever listened to without skipping, I think, is "The Odyssey" by Symphony X (24:12). Others include "Octavarium" and "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater, and "2010" by HYSTERIC BLAME...even though that's 22 minutes of silence, and then 1:30 of cool synth / other song excerpts.
