DEXCORE are killing it again with ther PV song! 
i personally love the way how the bridge goes into the chorus and the breakdowns > HOLY FUCK, they've outdone themselves again! 8D

Not half bad! Also, this is actually the first I have ever heard of this band. The first thing I know about ZON is that they are going to pass Gas, and that will always be the first thing I know about them.

ZON new single, "GAS" will be released on October 31. (2300 yen)

"*Ba.XEL was forced to pause activities back in 2017/10/10 due to suffering from hearing loss."
 
...I wonder why

*I was forced to pause the videos in 2018/04/04 due to suffering from hearing loss.

this is the only good thread on this godforsaken website

my dude you have an entire wiki dedicated to the band, numerous entries at vk.gy that detailed describe members history since the early 90's, occasionally seem to tweet past band members of the members to get info about the dudes, claim to be the 6th member of the band. did i miss anything? 

People taking photos of band they like, news at 11...

What does non venue stalker means?

Man, what really saddens me is that if this album come out someday, it will be definitely their last as X. It would take another 20 years gap (plus 10 years of just making it) for them to do another one. They're like what, on their mid 50s? Plus, everyone knows that everything points to a trainwreck. It couldn't be a worse final chapter for a band with such importance as X Japan.
 
I don't think you can blame the non-Yoshiki members though for the direction things took though. Maybe for still being associated with him or maybe for refusing to call Yoshiki out?  I think they are all doing well with their solo careers and other projects. Especially Toshi, the musicians he plays with are always really good and the setlists are on-point.

This saga keeps reaching new lows 

I'm wondering if nikalenina_official is going to lipsynch some rentrer en soi classics while wearing angel wings and a tiara to impress the guest x

LOVING IT. 
They are the ultimate band. They really are untouchable with a vocalist like him. He can sing and get dirty with his growls. 

Haha, I would not have thought about it until this thread... but having been to a few VK shows I now will absolutely think to myself "oh this has got to be the bit they jump back and forth across the venue during" or "I bet this three minute song takes 15 during a concert".
 
There are names for the different moves??

Assuming there is a US tour.

lynch. will disband. 
the GazettE will go on a hiatus. 
And D’espairsRay will get back together. 

Who?
 
is this that on VK band with Chinese members or something?

>be a bandman
>play shitty american cons for years
>no one cares about you in japan
>finally start to come up, band does well
>almost make it to your 20th anniversary
>vocalist gets a bunch of absolutely heinous vocal conditions
>forced to disband
>over two years later, he's finally better and you can keep doing what you love
>some guy on a forum calls you cringey for taking a cute photo with your bandmates

They need to remaster 9gatsu. Like so bad. I’d love an actual copy of it. 
 
Excited for this new single though. They never fail us with quality. 

I guess they're just never going to do anything about Gatsu 9 Core.... Anyway, I'm still totally stoked about this, I've really loved everything they've done. 

Original Uroboros! I love it's raw, analog and 'weird' mixing. Also, I'm a big fan of bands that bury the vocals in the mix or have them on volumes that are lower than the standards for popular music, so I'm ok with how the vocals are mixed: when vocals are not the predominant instrument, I'm more than happy. Also, the drums are weird but feel real, which is always a plus. I also enjoy the muddy guitars and think they really work in the mix overall. Lastly, and most important, the original version has a vibe that's difficult to describe... Somekind of 'ancient' and 'arcane' atmosphere, if that makes any sense.
 
On the other hand, I cannot stand the remix/remaster: that atmosphere I tried to describe is completely lost thanks to the clean and polished sound. My main problem comes from the drum samples. I do not like them: they sound tiny and don't have the same kind of impact that the original ones got. It's obvious they tried to match the modern metal/core-esque perfection of Dum Spiro Spero and there was heavy editing/triggering on drums and guitars. I also do not like the extra content: the extended 'Sa Bir' does nothing for me, same for 'Bugaboo (Respira)'. Also, the inclusion of 'Hydra 666' breaks the flow of the album for me.
 
However, the remix/remaster is not totally bad: there are really amazing things, like the beautiful drum panning and how everything breathes better than on the original. I just don't think the crystal clear production fits the experimental and erratic nature of the album. As Asakusa hinted, a sound that could be something in between both versions could be really interesting. I like polished and well produced/mixed albums, but I would never trade that for atmosphere!

Say what you will about Kyo's voice aging, but I'm happy the dude has stopped using so much falsetto and instead uses his head voice to hit the high register. 

The vocal melody in the chorus of Followers gives me STRONG 90s j-pop vibes.
