Kaye 296 Posted February 7, 2016 Really liking that style tbh. Just the mention of Vulgar already got my attention. Curious about their new single too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted February 7, 2016 Excited for the DVD and new single, but why the hell are they revisiting Dum Spiro Spero again? Have they finally gotten their shit together and learned how to play it live? 2 emmny and Ro plz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ro plz 1290 Posted February 7, 2016 I'm excited for new music mostly. And i like the idea of seeing a good chunk of VULGAR songs performed with the band in their current state. I really dislike KISOU so i can't say i care too much bout that but it should be interesting. As for another revisting of DUM SPIRO SPERO.....the band needs to let that album go. We have so many DVD's and the last Budokan show that was dedicated to that one live. Someone in the earlier posts mentioned MACABRE, they could've easily done that instead. Its starting to get aggravating. Either way. I'm impatient. Lets see where it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DIR EN GREY is a safe bet and we don't need to post how big is the hype to convince everyone thanks for your opinion but what is the relevance of any of this to your maturity? good for u for not freaking out, next time i should clarify that again these are my emotions, that this is a web forum, that i have a sense of humour and that i genuinely dont care what anyone thinks about me or dir en grey. once again, thank you for sharing your completely unrelated opinion, which your really seem to do a lot of on here, and enjoy sipping your tea on your soapbox over this news while i whip out my emoticons in my kyo cosplay next time ^>^ FOR THE GODDAMN SAKE OF STAYING ON TOPIC: im (like everyone else) confused as to why they wanted to revist DSS, im one of the few here who loves the album and their live performances in the DSS era were quite rocky. maybe shinya felt the sudden need to turn up his technique, if so i'd like to thank not only god but jesus too. in hindsight, i feel like arche's creation was spawned by dissatisfation with the tech-deathcore and heavy studio effects of DSS which is why they went back to their "roots". but who really knows whats going through their heads, im just excited cuz the japanese fans get to hear mushi and undecided again for the kisou tour, DIABOLOS + lotus for the DSS tour and audience killer loop and amber for the vulgar tour /creys cuz im not in japan.

The problem with DSS is that it was mostly pieced together in the studio with no regard for how it would sound live. They sat behind their laptops layering riffs and whatnot, then rehearsal for the shows roll around and they realized they couldn't really recreate the sound that well. Shinya programs crazy ass drum patterns, then can't actually nail them when he's sitting behind the kit. This carried on thru to The Unraveling, too, where songs like the title track and Unknown.Despair.Lost just sounded thin and hollow without all the studio overdubs. So yeah, it's curious that they want to devote shows to DSS yet again. Maybe some renewed confidence has surfaced and they feel like they can tackle it again. 2 Chi and emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted February 7, 2016 Remaking Unknown...Despair...a Lost was a crime in every way. One of few things I can't accept when it comes to Dir en grey and I'm generally in favor of most of their remakes. Anyone here planning on hitting the VULGAR tour though? I was planning on joining it from Osaka and onwards and meeting other fans is always fun. And to speculate a bit, I wonder if the tour will contain other tracks of the era, I'm expecting Fukai but I'm wondering whether they'll go for full on VULGAR era setlists with six Ugly material too or if they'll do it like the GAUZE tour and mix it up with their latest material. 1 Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted February 7, 2016 That new look is stylin'. Plus a new single and tours revisiting Vulgar and Kisou? Nice.... (correct me if i'm wrong, but did they just plain skip Macabre? I remember they did that Gauze tour, but i can't remember anything like that for Macabre...) My theory is that by judging from the tour name "TOUR16-17" it will be a long tour that will continuing on to next year as well. Maybe they continuing with the other albums in 2017? TMOAB, Wtd., MACABRE, UROBOROS. But I personally think they should skip DDS and UROBOROS for now.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wicked Teletubby 528 Posted March 11, 2016 so if I got the thing right, now you can vote for the song on ARCHE AT NIPPON BUDOKAN you want to see multiangled. as well as each member angles. only one song from each day. http://www.efeel.to/survey/arche16g/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frayed 404 Posted March 11, 2016 99.9% sure that the reason they're revisiting DSS now is because of the five year benchmark. My prediction is Macabre, WTD, and/or Marrow for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crube 585 Posted March 11, 2016 Predictions for the sound of the single and B-Side? More remakes or will they delve into cover songs or non-album songs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
