Wicked Teletubby

hell no.

I've been a huge Manson fan for like ten years in a row.

and of course I knew about this track but to be honest didn't even try to listen.

probably because I've lost interest in Manson's projects aside his long awaited Porn William album.

moreover, this changes nothing. Manson > Gaga.

pretty much.

I still got my man Manson.

yeah. whatever.

Lady Gaga still sucks in my not so humble opinion.

yesterday I tried watching her Monster Balls (or whatever) show at Madison Square Garden.

I really tried. but I'm still not digging it

what's the point? did she bring something new?

same old duct taped tits, idiotic costumes, 'hey motherfuckers' stuff, totally moronic dances, ordinary songs, mediocre vocals.

I feel like I'm too old for this tween wave.

I've checked out that interview. Chris said single could be released 'MAYBE on Halloween'.

nope. the latest info from Chris said it would be early 2012 with a first single due to release in late 2011.

Dat Tubbo!

Manson has just announced this 'Porn William' to be a new album's title.

this was pretty much expectable but I'm still feeling somewhat disappointed.

at least the score track is pretty good for me.

and this is where the tour ends.

a Moscow gig was awesome. Tooru fish hooked for the first time in like two years (feel free to correct). Shinya thrown his drumheads into the crowd for the first time ever (right?). there were some technical problems like bass cutting off during AMON but they were fixed pretty fast.

two more things: Reiketsu Nariseba got a new Rasetsukoku-ish intro with Tooru screaming like he does in THE IIID EMPIRE. it actually got me confused for a second. there's a nice video for this new version filmed in Paris. Also Tooru sang slightly different lyrics in ain't afraid to die.

great show, lots of energy, Tooru's looks of doom. I want more.

bonsaijodelfisch,

I remember the guys telling they actually DID record VINUSHKA with one of european sound producers, I forgot the name. they did it to test him and his abilities in order to decide will they keep working with him. but they added that this re-recorded track wouldn't be released.

I say this remastered and extended version of UROBOROS is getting a Tue Madsen sound.

at least I hope it is.

off to Moscow tonight to see the last gig of the tour on Thursday.

think I'll do a kind of a review with an exact setlist of course.

jihaa!

one more thing. it's all offficial now. the guys actually played Raw And Unrestricted Version of 蜜と唾 for the whole European tour. and it should be romanized as Mitsu To Tsuba, NOT Tsumi To Batsu. the article on barks.jp also says Tsumi To Kisei was a kind of a prototype for this end version.

and yeah, the official setlist says Tsumi To Batsu instead of Tsumi To Kisei.

I think it was that Raw and Unrestricted version.

well, as far I know DIR EN GREY (or at least think so) they won't release any more singles off the MOO.

inward scream was between shokubeni and tsumi to kisei

you sure? setlist.fm says the first one was between MAGGOTS and CROW and the second one between Tsumi and HYDRA -666-.

thank you.

but what about INWARD SCREAMs?

Tooru doesn't go to the Meet & Greets. he's a bitch

hope I can make it to a closing gig in Russia.

I need goddamn MONEY!!

updated: I flickin' got my flight tickets! yay!

I made one more huge step.

still digging it o_O

I'm totally in love with DECAYED CROW, Juuyoku and VANITAS. other tracks seem pretty hard to understand for me. anyways, I'm more than just glad they did this record.

Really? I remember Versailles playing in Cologne in a small venue with temperatures of 37 degrees without any airconditioning. Hizaki only mentioned it in his blog once and that was it. Didn't expect it from Dir en grey.

yep they did. the blog, the diary, Haiiro No Ginka - they had it all: complains and complains about heat and smoke in Moscow. especially Die. I got somewhat disappointed.

I mean come on, yeah it's hot in there. but god damn it, we've been sitting in the sunshine with average temperature about 100 °F / 40 °C (not kidding) for the whole day. there were fans waiting in the same conditions for three days in a row. the venue itself was of course three times worse. I almost passed out during the show. I've seen five or six girls carried out unconscious. while Die couldn't stand one day and complained A LOT later on, bitch.
