The vocal reminds me a lot of Hyde.

My first thought exactly. Like ... did I miss a break up announcement????

Good for me. ^^

Yaassss finally~~~ \o/

This album was my introduction to Tesla, so I don't know how they used to sound but I like this album. I was really happy to see it made the list. I'll definitely need to check their older stuff since the blurbs have me curious how the original versions of some of these songs sound.

I guess we have a few weeks before the holidays so maybe wait on that theme... but I kinda liked the idea someone threw around before about duos/dual vocals/duets. That one seemed fun and not too hard to find stuff for.

I've been upset but a lot of the disbandments this year, but this one just made me tear up. They are one of those bands that will be irreplaceable for me.

plenty <3

Wow that's a pretty wide variety of bands you like. I think that's great, we could definitely use more open minded people. Thanks for joining and welcome! The forum is doing a lot of fun stuff right now so you came at a great time!

Gravitation was the best thing I've heard from girugamesh in a while now. I was kind of expecting more of the same from them and it was nice to hear them branching out a little bit and getting kind of heavy again. And it spawned Ryo making those hilarious "covers". That was one of the most entertaining things I've experienced in jrock all year. lol.

I have to vote 9mm. I think they are way foreigner friendly if you're not used to voices like TK's. I know that was the case for myself, anyway. I prefer deeper voices as a general rule. I think 9mm also has a little more pop appeal, though I'm not as well versed in Sigure to say they don't have it, I just never heard it as much in their singles. They're both really great bands though so this is one of those kind of questions where there is no wrong answer.

That's exactly what I was thinking. -___-;;;

The Novembers and Crossfaith. ♥ Also huge respect for The Stooges and Minor Threat even though I haven't listened to either in a very long time. Fate In Spiral - "Reset my life" FAKE? - "DREAM CATCHER" MONKEY MAJIK - "Between The Lines" Peelander-Z - "Dragon" cocklobin - "Fall On One's Knees" xTRiPx - clever noise[r.i.p ver.] Mötley Crüe - "Hell On High Heels" Seo Taiji - 비록 (悲錄) Miss A - "Mr. Johnny" Fall Out Boy - "Of All The Gin Joints In All The World" Peelander-Z for life. But hearing them makes me a little sad because I miss Red and Green. ;n; Interesting shuffle this time, lots of favorite artists but not my fave songs by most of them.

"Across The North Pole" - the fin. What is your favorite color?

It's amazing how polished they are, musically and visually. I really can't say I know another band doing this style as well as they are and a full album of originals would send me over the moon. Not that I even knew that they were in fact covers in the first place but shhhhh.

Since a lot of the newer bands like them take a influence from multiple styles I just call them neo-visual and leave it at that. I feel like both bands take cues from koteosa and eroguro, but I wouldn't go so far is to try to define them as either.

The thing is ~scenekidmetalcore isn't really that far off. Only the genre is being called "popcore". And genres like "easycore" (pop punk and hardcore when it should simply fall under post-hardcore by your standards here but no, not quite the case.) etc all fall into this category, you can really go for days with all of the -core subgenres. You are saying is specific to visual kei. It's not. It happens in a lot of genres but I'm not going to do all of your research for you. Have fun. I'm over this one.

I'm not even going to go into another long post on this because you are being willfully ignorant ignoring the points I have made, and biased that visual kei is some special snowflake segregated from the way every other subgenre operates, when it is, in fact, not very different at all. You are going to tell me there are no crossover metal bands then you are truly not listening. And no, subgenre labeling is not magically better everywhere else. What a ridiculous generalizing statement. I am laughing so hard right now. Short version, Visual kei ends up having more ways to categorize itself because it often has one genre for the image and another for music that can bisect and crossover between those genres is rampant. End of story. And I've been into visual kei for almost 15 years. I don't think I missed the wank, I just don't bother with people who argue for the sake of arguing. Do I agree with every single subgenre specification? no. Do I consider them useless? Absolutely not. I just don't use the ones I don't agree with. It's not hard to do your own research. There are tons of subgenres in every single genre of music I have ever listened to that become excessive at some point. Every single one.
