Also you can enjoy a band without enjoying their live stuff. Certain groups are unable to pull off their sound on a stage and anyway, people appreciate music differently. But yeah my favorite live performance is OMINOUS. Actually, the whole performance on the Dogmatic Final was incredible and brought me back from my gazette fan-hiatus. My point is . It's really unfair to say shitty things about band like the gazette. They are the gate to vk. 60% of vk fans their first band was the gazette. Their live performances are much better than their studio version . Hard to find bands like that nowadays. I just joined here and everyone is talking shit about the gazette . The whole gazette thread is full of hate toward the gazette :-\ This is disrespectful to the band and to their efforts. I really won't ask anything about them again. Cause no one is talking shit about the other bands like the gazette . I like lots of bands but gazette is special for me i don't like when someone disrespect them :-) I believe there are about 4-5 real gazette fans here I guess this is why they getting all the hate. I don't care about his/ her opinion cause I know his music taste is shit lol 1 The Moon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part of being a fan is being able to criticise and discuss a band's releases, no matter how important or big they are in the scene. There's actually very little hate on this thread and gazette are one of most popular groups in this forum. I guarantee ruki wouldn't give a shit about some western fan saying Silly God Disco is an awful song, so instead of being insulted on behalf of the band you are welcome to join in the discussion and ignore the very small amount of trolls present here. 2 1 Mamo, Komorebi and suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heresytrash 250 Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah I've learned that not everyone is going to like the GazettE, and I'm fine with that.

If someone hates on my favorite band, I'll carry on loving the band and I'll move on with my life. Someone's opinion has no impact on my feelings (specially if they're random people on the Internet who I'll never meet IRL) it makes life a lot easier and I recommend it. The biggest plot twist here is that we are all gazette fans but you don't realise it, in fact everyone was passionately discussing the new album just a few pages ago. 3 Komorebi, karai · ebi and suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was the only one in my school into vk . I had no friends to share with them the things I like. They made fun of them . I'm older now so I don't really care about people hating on them. I joined this forum to find people who really like them instead I found people saying bad things about them. If u get what I'm trying to say. It's hard to find in my country people who are into vk. Like in my whole country I can find about 5-10 people who like vk. I tried to get Hersey membership card but it is so expensive I couldn't ask money from my family they would say no. I work a part time job . cause I'm still college student. So I thought about saving money for their concert instead of membership card Edited March 21, 2018 by AyaRukiA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even veteran fans lose interest and decide that their music isn't for them, but it shouldn't effect how you like them. It's not that they're 'haters', it's just that the GazettE's style isn't what they like and they voice their dislike as a form of critique. (Fans do this too, it's totally normal.) Also there are trolls who try to get a rise out of fans by saying mean shit, but you shouldn't pay attention to them like others have stated before. 2 WhirlingBlack and Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was trying to get along with vk fans here. to be friends so I wrote a topic about the gazette .i was just shocked by some comments full of hate towards the gazette. So I thought they were haters. I read most of the topics here and ignored most of the opinions that I don't like. I even read most of threads here to learn from them and discovered more bands to listen to. And I didn't say I'm in higher position. But I don't like to disrespect other bands. Cause I don't have a band to hate as I said gazette is special to me . About the membership card . To convert my country currency to yen that would be so much expensive . But still I will try to get one.

Furik 832 Posted March 21, 2018 I’ve had a Heresy membership for the past three years and to be honest I find it relatively cheap compared to other bands. I’m excited to see what they have in store for members during this new era. That being said, I think for what you pay for, you don’t get a whole lot out of it when it comes to their international fans. That’s to be expected. I’m not the biggest GazettE fan nor are they my favorite band but I do appreciate that they’ve since earned the respect they deserve over the years and continue to push out good music for what it’s worth. I don’t mind supporting them any way I can because after bands like 12012 and Sadie calling it quits, there’s only a few other Japanese bands that I even care about anymore. I’m getting older, I’m married, have a kid on the way, work way too much and really don’t have the time to get into new music like I used to. So, seeing the GazettE still active and doing their thing and seeing them grow from their Cockayne Soup days to NINE really puts a smile on my face. 6 Nagisa, Ozileras10, platy and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geist 227 Posted March 21, 2018 Even though I’m sick of core-influenced metal with synths, and have been for years, I find the GazettE to be a guilty pleasure I’ve stuck with since DIM and have been enjoying them more and more as time goes by. They’re fun. Yeah, so they recycle riffs occasionally (I think it largely works); but their sound is distinct, so listening to them feels like a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The one thing I love about core-influenced metal is the gnarly down-tuned chugging, especially when it gets technical, and I think GazettE does an awesome job with that. Their songwriting seems to have improved as well with their guitar riffs being far more “substantive” than the old days of Discharge and Headache Man, no doubt a result of their developing western-metal influences. 3 Ozileras10, platy and AyaRukiA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the topic of HERESY, we've gotten those emails warning us that those who are sharing leaked photos are going to possibly get the site shut down. Not sure if it'll effect the Domestic fans, but it'll definitely effect the international fans and we don't get a lot other than their radio and a few photos. 2 suji and togz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
