Dir en grey

[StriderSubzero 53]

I really like the tweaked chorus in the new The Final recording but otherwise I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other. I like the original, and I like the re-recording, but I don't understand why you'd want to re-record something so recent, especially when it's one of your most popular songs.

Also, Obscure.
Except I hate the re-record and the fact that it replaced the original for lives.

In my opinion the only good re-recording DEG ever did was the re-recording of Macabre

Undecided, though.

Also Bottom of the death valley is way better in the re-recording, imo.

You're right, I love both of these re-recordings, especially undecided. 

Idk how i forgot about them.

Re-recording of Unknown Despair Lost pisses me off.

Disagree. The original, while good, was just a shameless rip-off of another band's song. The remake makes the song a Dir en grey song.

[Saishu 1589]

But not necessarily a good Dir en grey song. 

[Seelentau 884]

What of UDaL/Setsuna is a rip-off?

Luna Sea – G. 

[Seelentau 884]

Yeah, I can definitely see the similarities. Even the sentence at the beginning-thing is similar xD

I mean wtf, how do they calculate these prices?

Jeezus, and it’s not even the limited edition. 

[Seelentau 884]

Even then it would be completely overkill. I haven't paid 40€ for the limited version. I have never seen any release by any band for a price as high as that, tbh.

I've seen a copy of girugamesh - now on Amazon for a literal million USD. I actually messaged the seller asking why it's so expensive and they never answered back xD

[Saishu 1589]

I think a lot of these eBay and Amazon Marketplace sellers just throw these ridiculous prices on their items and hope some sucker will fall for it. There’s always a possibility that someone just doesn’t know any better. 

[Saishu 1589]

It just hit me that there will eventually be a Dir en grey tribute album, so naturally my brain started rattling with what artists would be on it. We’ve already heard Merry cover Schwein no Isu, R-Shitei did Yurameki, and Mejibray did Cage. 

 

It’s an exciting prospect, but also worrying, because I expect a ton of newer DEG derivatives to do little with whatever material they choose. What I want is for Sukekiyo and Decays to make appearances, and then DEG themselves do a self cover of Garden and just mash it to a pulp.

To be honest, I would prefer tribute album over best album...

holding my hopes up for a SERAPH cover of Agitated Screams of Maggots

[ghost 2687]

I don't care what they release as long as it's shot in one take.

The most disturbing part about this is the fact that I could see Dir en grey actually letting BatAAr feature on the tribute lmao

[LIDL 692]

I am not sure if they’re friends or not, since tribute album in this scene seems to be betwen friends, but it’d be nice to have DEG songs reimagined in many different kinds of sounds. Say, by Maximum The Hormone, Mana, Versailles, Kaya, Alice 9, Mondo Grosso, Ore Ska Band, and so on

[Saishu 1589]

I feel like Dir en grey doesn’t have any friends. 

 

Satsuki would probably be on it though. 

[Ito 2438]

I feel like a Dir en Grey tribute album should have happened around late 00's, during the peak Diru copy cat era.

[Seelentau 884]

ANDROGYNOS is meh, going from the bonus CDs. Same live performance as always, nothing to make the songs stand out or anything.
