paradoxal

You just aptly described how I view your music taste Our music tastes are just so different, even though we seemingly like the same genre.
 
I think I recall listening to something by Luzmelt, but as I don't remember anything about them I probably didn't like them.

If we don't count Kiwamu, my only beef with Starwave Records is that I find all their bands (well, except for Fixer) utterly boring and most of them are in my opinion plain horrible. If I know a band is on Starwave Records, there's a 99,99% chance I won't like that band at all. 

Valo's voice combined with Finnish is just pure beauty. <3
I really liked Tears On Taape thou I hope they will someday find back to their doom roots. XD

lol,
so Qual, Tokami and Sound Bee are shit bands?
For me those are starwave best.
and still have their own typical sound.
Livert wasn't that bad too, they did sound live prety good, even better live than on CD.
but, this topic isn't for to diss the bands and saying that all suck. because its just a matter of taste. I think many other bands suck which you 3 think are amazing. but it isn't about dissing bands. because SW does have bands which enough people love.
however maybe the dislike of SW bands is because people simple hate kiwamu... so whatever band would join people simple going to dislike it no matter what.

but your taste is strange anyway... you like so many wtf bands but impossoble to enjoy any starwave band...kinda amazing.
so you also never did like past SW bands?
capella, luzmelt, the fool...
kinda fits maybe more the row of bands you normally listen too.
their music wasn't that bad.

haha, taste can be so WTF sometimes, which is good otherwise too many bands wouldn't have fans.
mmhm jusy check out capella then. to bad that they aren't around anymore bjt I guess you will like their sound. maybe the fool too, but harder to find nowdays I guess.
Luzmelt was loved by many people, I remember manh were sad when they did disband, so maybe check again? xd

Welcome to Monochrome-Heaven! If you have any questions about the forum or you just wanna chat and get awesome recommendations on new visual kei (the latter is about me, haha), don't be afraid to send a PM to any of our staff members (blue/red names)!

I've only been really into VK since 2010, and I still really love it. I am not likely to "burn out" because I don't listen to songs/albums on repeat, and I still listen to non-VK artists. I also lack the time/willingness to seek out new bands to listen to, so maybe I'm not as exposed to "shitty" bands as others are.. I have a bunch that I like and I tend to stick with them. Even within the limited group of bands I listen to, there are bands with interesting ideas, or great lyrics, or vocalists with really nice/intriguing voices, etc.
 
 
I cannot stand 80s/90s VK though. I haven't liked anything I've heard (full disclosure: I haven't heard very much). A big part of it might be the production values (or, lack of good-quality rips). Modern VK just sounds so much better to me, from a technical quality standpoint.. (and I don't even care if the vocalist has been auto-tuned like hell, as long as it makes them *sound* pleasant enough to my ear.) I also really hate the look of old school VK bands.. the makeup and hair just look bad to me (plus, lack of photoshop). 
 
 
I use too many brackets.

Because of this thread, I'm slowly starting to resent every male MH member.

honestly, I thought starwave was one of those fake labels or one of those parody labels where they make shitty bands for tv shows or something, like disney records. Kinda scary its a legit label :S

Also, the drummer's facial features remind me a bit of Kiwamu...

Dear god Para. 

How the fuck do you remember all of this

hi, i'm chris. i type in small letters because it's cute.
 
i've been a fan of visual kei since 2001 that i can remember (my favourite band at that time was dué le quartz, i'm still collecting everything i can find of them since i was too young to buy things online at the time and didn't live in japan).
 
for the last few years i'm being an obsessive fan of mejibray (mostly koichi). i have a big collection of stuff and don't know how many times i've been to their live and instore..
i'm also following morrigan lately and trying to see them when i can.
 
my favourite 'old' music is everything of kiyoharu/kuroyume/sads. i was able to see kuroyume live last year finally~~ every other time i tried to buy kuroyume or sads ticket it was sold out before i could buy..
 
there are a lot of other artists i like but i don't want to start trying to make a big list.
 
i decided to join this site because i was lurking reading about new bands and i thought i could make some friends here who are into the same stuff.
