Jigsaw9 6783 Posted April 17, 2012 John 5 covering Laruku has to be the weirdest thing I've read this year. Kinda curious about the other artists as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted April 17, 2012 I would be super super excite for the DVD and would buy it for sure if my region free DVD player didn't break. If it gets released in America I'll be buying it for sure. As for the tribute album.... Boyz II Men? What? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted April 17, 2012 Oh fuck. I would be excited for the tribute album if it actually made sense. It's sounding like they just paid some shitty western groups just to sound like 'HEY PPL THE AMURIKA GUYS ARE INFLUENCED BY US TOO'. I mean, Boyz II Men, seriously?

Wonrei 108 Posted May 7, 2012 Oh lulz. The main tracklist for the cover tribute is just retarded. The only artists that remotely make sense are the bonus ones. I really doubt Boyz II men ever heard of L'arc en ciel before this. Actually I didnt even know they still existed, lol. And they are ruining one of my L'arc favorites (awwww ) At least there's Polysics giving me some lulz. Though Eric Martin's cover may actually be good.

nick 10212 Posted May 7, 2012 It's the Japanese シド right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted May 7, 2012 ^ Yep, it is! The bonus tracks are all Japanese artists actually. Sorry, I left out the original katakana writings. ^^" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted May 7, 2012 This is a bad bad bad bad bad...VERY BAD JOKE. EDIT: I never used to be so negative towards such things but this went out of bounds, completely. EDIT2: Is the last song performed by Clémentine? (Since there might be many "Clementines" scattered around) If so, then that's prob the only song worth looking forward to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted May 7, 2012 Is the last song performed by Clémentine? I think it's this Clémentine (she's associated with Sony Music Japan too, so might be her). But yeah, really WTF/horrible tracklisting (except for SID and POLYSICS being there)... I guess they just hired some random foreigners for lots of $$$ to show how "influential" and "respected" Laruku is internationally (lol right). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 7, 2012 Interesting and random with TLC and B II M especially. Curious now. Thx. They'll going to make Niji sounds like Water Fall or even, No Scrubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they just hired some random foreigners for lots of $$$ to show how "influential" and "respected" Laruku is internationally (lol right). Yeah, lots of $$$ on the trash can, because this tracklist is mostly composed of one hit wonders and people who were once famous... no one cares about these artists today though. Siam shade did the same thing on their tribute album... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted May 7, 2012 I'll probably end up listening to this out of obligation, but I think this is a terrible decision. Luna Sea's and Phantasmagoria's tribute albums made way more sense (and what I'm expecting is they'll be way better). I have mild excitement for Orianthi though. Saw her live once, she was pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted May 7, 2012 Disappointed there's was no John 5 there. Oh well, I got his new shredtastic solo album to satisfy myself with. And the non Japanese track list of artists is disappointing. Except for Orianthi of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clow_eriol 240 Posted May 28, 2012 this is the western cover: the tracklist it's the same, but doesn't say nothing about bonus track... Maybe the bonus it's only for the japanese version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 29, 2012 this is the western cover: the tracklist it's the same, but doesn't say nothing about bonus track...

That's not the same cover tribute album. That one has a different tracklist, with some unknown international artists. http://www.amazon.com/Vivid-Covers-20th ...

Guest Posted May 29, 2012 I do not like the idea that kpop bands do and play songs from L'Arc~en~Ciel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenai-hana 0 Posted May 29, 2012 If you're referring to Hemenway, they are not a Kpop band. Having two Korean-American members does not make them a Kpop band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
