Their latest output has not been too great, but it's a shame they're calling it quits since they had a lot of potential.

There is no character for "Ti" so it's most likely the case that the band name is actually TICK TACK. It's one in the same, just like "la" and "ra" etc.

I agree. He doesn't look like he fits the band, nor did I see anything from what little he's posted online that shows he's even half-decent enough to replace Seiya. But the other boys have probably thought this over for a while, so let's keep our fingers crossed he's up to snuff.

Their new drummer slays, too.

There's also Mix Speaker's,Inc. precursor band ISABELLE.

They're too busy trying to look cool, which just comes out as disinterest.

Well, if they put out music more like their first release, I'll be interested, but they've gone off the deep end of the deep end since then.

I legit got goosebumps listening to that. The blast beats, that fast-as-fuck double bass, and those nut-rattling low growls. My body is in full reaction mode to the heaviness.

I love everything about this. They're so personal, while retaining their humor. New CD hype!

Thoughts on the new single? Also, does anyone hear the weird anomaly around 0:55-0:56 on Naked that sounds like a computer alert sound got programmed into the song??

I like it and every instrument is given its chance to shine in this song, but I can't help but feel it's a bit cobbled together. There's times where the vocalist isn't quite in-beat, as well as the latter half of the guitar solo. I'm not sure whether or not to support them, though. It's a shame Issei is such a prick.

I honestly don't remember who opened for them, but yeah, it was Terminal 5. Such an interesting venue, with the queue outside wrapping underneath a building?

I was there too!

Well this is all a goddam shame. I can't imagine them sticking it through having their leader leave like this. They'd been together for so long that it's hard to see this coming. I was thinking about making a trip over to Japan for their live on the 16th due to the sick lineup, but now I might HAVE to with the departures. Regardless, I'll follow Cazqui to wherever he goes next. They're one of the best bands I've ever seen live.

I've got a decent amount of things signed. I have DIR EN GREY's [a knot of] DVD signed when I met them at their residency in NYC a long time ago. I also have DEVILOOF's Ruin signed when I me them at their first oneman, as well as a signed poster for Devil's Proof. Not to mention a slew of signed JILUKA stuff that came with purchase of singles, etc.

Yeah, I saw that too. The bassist also said a small "gomen ..." I wonder what he did ...

If I'm reading this right, one of the members of モルヒネ (Morphine) did something that caused everyone to get kicked out of the venue?

Ryohei/Ren sounds and looks great. I am excite.

Because kissy-face-angry-pout doesn't look cool on screen, unless there's a mic in front. Haha! But hell yeah, this sounds dope.

Yes. Please.

fuck

Wait, didn't they already go on hiatus twice so she could get pregnant?

Ayabie?

Of note: the vocalist needed is only a harsh vocalist. No clean singing.

Let's all be honest here. Dir en grey has never had good-sounding samples since their inception. Most often, they chose the most mediocre part of their single and throw it online for fans to hate. Does it sound boring, yup. Will that reflect the rest of the album? hopefully not.
