come on, devils in bedside

There seems to be a misconception that moshing 100% equals violence, aggression, etc. Which is most definitely not the case, at least not in the sense of deliberately causing harm. The main and only point is fun, that's it. Moshpits are called moshpits for a reason, since they are separate from the other concert-goers, and that boundary is respected 99% of cases. At least out of all the shows I attended. (from huge festivals/arena shows to your filthiest underground beatdown show). Everyone is free to do their thing and no one should be called disgusting for it.
 
@merchenticneurosis "Also, i think "western heawy MeTaL DooDz" are losing the "battle" very bitterly since the amount of endless black hair i see in japanese concerts is totally fucking cool." - could you elaborate on that sentence? I don't quite understand it's point
 
 
PS: furi is fucking weird, as is just plainly standing still during a show (any kind of show), but I still respect it

Y'ALL TOO MAINSTREAM
 
I'd choose True Blue over Rosier mainly because I believe it aged much better. Rosier seems to be much more a product of its time... maybe it's the overexposure, I don't know
 
@nostalgia Yeah, Tonight is my favorite aswell, above everything else! that song is freaking timeless!

That's my favorite single by them *_*. The only thing that beats that imo is selecao off of NOVUS. 

they were great. some of their other songs were actually really good too.

BITCH U BETTER DON'T MESS WITH MY KIZU
 
 

Eh. Definitely my least favorite Kanye album.
 
(I hope these ~25 minute, 7 song albums a la Ye and Daytona catch on though... so many albums are just so bloated, especially in hip hop.)

2013.07.10 - xTRiPx's Any verse. Their comeback album after the hiatus, I was CRAZY hyped for it. I've played the teaser a billion times on youtube

that's actually a good question... to be honest I don't really have the knowledge about what he composed for his other projects, other than black box and yamu sora, which are nice songs. There's also kiss my way, which was kinda of a solo project, right? And it was really solid, if a bit rough on the edges... It is more or less known that he didn't do much of the heavy lifting composition-wise for chemical pictures, and some decisions there after the original members left are really questionable (the re-recording of black box and praparat, specially).
 
and now there's lack-co. which I can't figure out what they are trying to do there. whether It's is just  they lacking cohesiveness or it is intentionally too experimental, I don't know (their full album is somewhat okay, tho).
 
Overall I think he shines when he just focus on his singing, lyrics and performance, but that's just me...

okay but the last breakdown thoooooo...da best

Do you think of tenten that way in general or just for MBHI?

@Reikoyou are TOTALLY in for a ride! but unfortunately they were really short lived... stick to the 2 singles (Nisshin Geppo and Aozora Guillotine) and the MIMIC mini. Avoid the Re:MBHI stuff cuz they suck really hard, honestly. What made MBHI great were the other members compositions, tenten alone unfortunately was such a disappointment.
 
Their live dvd is brilliant aswell, and has several unreleased songs! check that out!

I love DOF, Chemical Pictures, and Kurt. This is the first MBH song I've heard and its incredible. Am I in for a ride with MBH?
 

@chemicalpictures When i start listening a band i need to dig it very slowly, album by album, otherwise i won't feel touched by any song. I'm kinda slow for liking bands.
So i still in the first releases, but i'm super addicte to またたくよる especially for 雨楽器隊, 星降町にて and LIPS. They're super awesome. Also in love for NEW ROMANCER because it sounds like something that my favorite composer would write (Shiina Mio from UNiTE.)
 
@The MoonI will listen that too! Thanks!

lol, it's always nice to see them in the spotlight! welcome to the club!
 
Favorite album so far?

DUUUUDE DONT PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THAT
 
HELL FUCKIN YEAH

Dude, there's nothing like EA in ALL visual kei. You're setting the bar waaaay too high, lol!
 
Even so, White album is their best mini, in my opinion. It's like an around the world travel in music styles, SO GOOD. Grafton Calling and Ouvertura are top 5 of their disco. Black album has some good tracks and Tales for the abyss is a sort of best album, so you're pretty much all set.
 
Talking about A makes me so so sad, they were way above their peers, and I still don't get why they're not reforming or something like that. Sucks to see Nimo's reaching the rock botton that is latest 4N'S

@returnal dude the jazzy vk trope is the worst thing that ever happened to the scene after DEVILOOF, of course

GazettE kinda troubles me. I don't think their indie days are really that good. Then comes DIM, which is great, and the dumpster fire that is everything (with few exceptions) between it and DOGMA, which I consider their best so far. So their inconsistency doesn't fit in what you described.
 
12012 would be another case of inconsistency, but I'd rather ignore the existence of everything between SEVEN and THE SWAN, so to me they ended on top;
 
I think SuG ended on their all time high;
 
Lolita23q entered their hiatus on the top of their game. Then came the revival, which sucked balls and unsurprisingly fade away pretty fast;
 
Moran also ended on a very high note. dark shits so hard on their early works...

Yeah, same here =\
 
I don't think III and IV were ever shared, the only way to by is through his webshop, I believe, such a shame

They are amazing and I am glad they are back <3
I am big fan of SIAM SHADE, especially HIDEKI and DAITA, and of course I heard Understand so many times because I own HIDEKI's first two albums and e.p. <3 But I couldn't find his latest two albums anywhere, on CD Japan, iTunes and other shops ;___; I mean 栄喜Ⅲ〜NO FATE〜 and 栄喜Ⅳ ;__;

how is it HOWL and their best is clearly レイテンシー・スノウ?

omg im super glad to see you active here again
