I feel bad for them. Because they're not getting the attention they deserve because they're not with the scene. It's painfully sad to see someone lose motivation because they don't feel they can go anywhere. 

I feel bad for them. Because they're not getting the attention they deserve because they're not with the scene. It's painfully sad to see someone lose motivation because they don't feel they can go anywhere. 

Two things
 
Reality:  The upcoming Morrigan album is a good example. Any sort of romantic ideal you might have in your head about these guys just going out there to express themselves in sexy angry music and nais hairs and heavy makeup crumbles down when bands pull shit like this. Really releasing an album that's essentially a compilation shows a complete lack of vision, ambition and concern for their own image and legacy. The curtain has been pulled back and the money grubbing hackery is exposed in clear daylight. The profit margin unfortunately is part and parcel of visual kei, and it works to the scene's detriment. 
 
The other thing is when these bands bust out the _traditional_ Japanese instruments to give a song some corny folk ornamentation. The worst recent offender I can think of was Avelcain. It wouldn't be as bad if the music actually treated the concept with some respect instead of hamming in a melody that sounds like it was composed for a TV advertisement about frozen chinese food. It's so fucking bad, like it's literally the same if a Finnish band played around with Kalevala image and dressed up in fucking furs and tar face paint, which is made all the more worse by the fact that there are bands that actually do that. For me personally the experience of seeing these bands is what a person from India ( pardon the generalisation, I know it's an infinitely diverse country ) would feel if he saw a band doing a concept album about the kamasutra while dressed up like Apu from the Simpsons.

Do you think they'll be disbanded due to "musical differences" before they even announce the members?

I'm pretty sure as I was reading this my pants flew right off in pure anticipation of how fucking awesome this will most likely be.
