really love your dark style, hope to see more from you! ^^

Kind of got back into art, still lacking talent, but I'll show off the last thing I finished working on

 
and then I got really bored at work and tried to add to it with gimp, results are mixed at best

You've got a great eye for fashion and your coloring is really soft and  beautiful. Love your work, keep it up!

Chances of them turning back the clock range from zero to nil, like no band has ever done it. Their milquetoasting was a gradual peeling away of their original aesthetic layer by layer until what remained was such blase pop rock that people weren’t even persuaded enough to be that offended by it. Of course it’s not that bad because it was made with the same assembly line professionalism as Lays chips or Coca cola, or your home town budget variant of those two since they jacked a few bits from bmth anyway. 
 
And much like bmth they’ll keep paying idiots lip service every once in a while by putting out a ””””heavy””” track that’s like hey guize i know u like the old stuff dis 1 goes out 2 u in da pit

cd cover revealed and its fucking sick

This just screams blandness. 
 
Already calling that the PV will be in tasteless 60 FPS, compensating for a lack of cinematography with shitty effects and taking place in a random warehouse #3206 (since all the other ones were used by lynch. in the past and we have to keep it slightly original).
 
...yeah and don't forget the synths, the trebliest synth samples with the lowest bitrate they can find.

Glad they got rid of those stupid boxes, but man that look is generic. Very underwhelming. Definitely kills the mystery gimmick they were going for.

I can't be the only one who misread the topic as "meatbeat"...

I get in Vidoll moods pretty often and spend time going through their old stuff. Love that there's a sizeable group of people here who seem to do the same.
Most of the major stuff was a snoozefest and missed the mark for me, but it's far more tolerable than a lot of other major vk acts at the time where. Jui's voice saved it from being truly garbage.
Even though it was such a tiny set, I'm glad I got the chance to see them once before the disbanded. I held on to that candy Rame threw at us for YEARS. Finally had to throw it away after I could see discoloration through the wrapper lol

^^ Yeah, it was. That was a pretty special couple of days for me. Pretty amazing lineup looking back on it over 10 years later

I actually got a stronger Sukekiyo vibe from their more recent stuff than a DeG one too. Haven't really heard their stuff much but it's pretty crazy how Mao's singing improved with time (i'm not talking since the beginning of this project, I mean since the beginning of his career) , and the music is also took a huge improvement since "Chainsaw" too. That one barely qualifies as music lol

there's another angle to why this is reported so often in public (as opposed to the Japanese habit of shunning issues - i.e. in visual kei you'll have apparent suicides disguised as accidents or death/retirement issues never explained in public because the members themselves live relatively private lives) - the bands you're pretty much posting on here exclusively have disturbed, creepy male fans;
 
"hearing issues" is a respectable opt-out of a toxic scene that doesn't seem really removed from general idol mess that literally came through this week again:

I don't think ramen-fed mouthbreathers have a normal human response to their metal-waifus wanting to have kids and healthy families.

Grimes was cancelling shows at 24 (? - sources differ), and she barely tours since but I'm not sure if that's her dumb pill-addicted head doing stupid shit to blame, or an actual byproduct of being a concert performing artistè:
(* four dates is an "entire tour".)
 
a RHCP member is mentioned here during a nirvana coupling tour so that makes him like age 3 or so when the issues developed:

here's what miracle of google brought out too:
https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/11/01/music-hearing-loss-tinnitus-grimes_n_2059122.html

I haven't combed over these thoroughly, but higher incidence of hearing loss might be attributed to ethnicity/genetics*. As for women, my understanding is that men are more prone to hearing loss**. It might seem like it happens more to female Japanese musicians (w/ how clumped these incidents are) , but I'm assuming the heightened coverage is just coincidental (implying that Japanese men might have as much, if not more hearing loss)***. Musicians, especially live performers, are more prone to hearing loss.****

Also, there are a lot of things that can contribute to hearing loss and dizziness. Just throwing ideas around.
 
* I mean genetics obviously plays a role in hearing loss. I'm implying here that maybe Japanese or East Asians are more susceptible.

Whether it be hearing loss or tinnitus, it's a bit more complicated than what I initially thought. I was thinking of the 60% v. 40% finding by the  CDC.
*** @nekkichi brings up a point I completely glossed over here:
Collectivist cultures like Japan's tend to misdiagnose or shove under the rug health problems in lieu of getting them actually treated. I think that further compounds the hearing loss diagnoses issue. What's likely is that the musicians probably have a fuck-ton of problems but don't get them treated so they don't become an "inconvenience". (This mentality generally exists w/ everyone but feels more severe given cultural norms)
