NEGA one-day revival

[Tokage 5930]

Dir en grey was always imitating 12012 tbh i don't get where this revisionism is coming from 😕

[sleepy coffee 1476]

I never understood why care so much about a band ripping off diru when diru never sounds the same from album to album. Might as well let someone else copy a sound they're obviously never going back to.

[Gaz 1097]

lawl i just remembered why everybody hates tr00 diru fans

 

why are you guys even arguing with this troll anyway

 

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

i guess they screamed in 5 or 6 songs in a discography of close to a 100, and 12012 and sadie that are somehow related to the topic did some dss close late in their run, so case closed nega is a deg cover band

[Alsdead14 191]

Well hmmm. I'm just happy to see a one-day revival =O. Reminiscence, the single version, was always a favorite of mine. I still remember playing guilt trip, where Jin screams like a maniac at the end, in my car to freak people out.

[chemicalpictures 1888]

I love that all of this "bands are copying DEG!!!!!" shit, THE most obvious commonplace you can go on criticizing VK, comes around every couple months like the flu

 

then comes the obligatory Kuroyume song to prove the absolute copycat shitfest DEG was

 

and then we get a mod calling everyone to stay on topic

 

oh, the circlejerk of life

Reminiscence has that great line  "I believe that you are white". 

 

That's what I remember the most about it to be honest.

The live will take place on September 1st.

i'm hoping they'll release a limited single

[LIDL 692]

So it is not birthday 2man anymore, but still advertised as one? scam.

Wow, they really went all-in on the latter era NEGA, huh.

Oooh, Vanitas pretty much from front to back. Rad.

[Kiryu999 3336]

That's a pretty disappointing setlist, like where's muddy cult ? Soul Cry ? Neo destruction ?

[Axius 2019]

😱

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Well the setlist is pretty much a mini-version of the theme they went for at their last live. There they only played "NEGA" (i.e. after-returning-from-hiatus) tracks and only a small handful of relatively older songs in the encore.

 

But yeah, they could have included one or two 'classics'...

[geist 227]

I forgot exactly how bad Vanitas was until I re-listened to it and almost threw up. 

 

I was in the car this morning, on my way to work, and 12012's "Suicide" came on. It was a nice drive. I laughed, mocked the song for being terrible, and reminisced how bad 12012 had gotten by the end. Little did I know I would be re-listening to Vanitas today, an album so atrocious I legitimately forgot it existed.

 

God damn. Please no one take this personally, it's just my subjective opinion on music; but NEGA deserve to be wiped from the history books. Their CD's should be burned, live albums sent to a landfill, and let's just forget this ever happened.

So long they will play Muddy Cult, all will be well in the fandom.

[Saishu 1589]

I think the bigger crime here is that Jin keeps starting new projects but the sound never really changes on a fundamental level. It all comes down to the skill level of who he’s working with at the time. Like honestly to me The Black Swan mostly sounded like “what if Jin wrote music for Deluhi”

points... were made?..

 

I really don't understand what sustained n-word for so long, considering how the black swan/articlear both sound like a clear return to what nega started with, and almost immediately clowned out following their debut mini/singles bunch.

 

they turned the overall trademark UCP bad taste into a parody of whatever was trending in the scene at the moment and added fake blood and brain worms to it.

Lol, scrolling thru the comments and people were comparing them to DEG 13 years ago.

I assume they mostly compare 『ｔｈｅ　ｅｄｇｅ』 of it all, not their sound?

 

quadrangle video is vaguely reminiscent of raison d'etre PV with 0.1/10 of Diru past budgets

[Jigsaw9 6783]

I'll give these guys a break, the revival live was pretty solid. I've always liked the VANITAS album so I didn't mind the setlist to begin with. But this was probably one of Jin's best NEGA performances that's for sure (at least to me it felt like it). The other guys were tight and competent as usual too. Weird to see them together on stage playing these songs after so many years, almost felt like stepping into a time machine.

 

NEGA's last live DVD left a very sour taste in my mouth (weird setlist arrangement, awkward atmosphere and a faulty/error-ridden audio mix ruined the whole experience so much I still haven't watched it all the way through in one sitting), but this performance redeemed them a bit. That said, I do admit these songs work a lot better in their studio-recorded form rather than played live. But they tried to make the best of it I guess?...

[Saishu 1589]

Jin’s voice is like all the popular VK vocalists’ worst aspects rolled into one. The boring part of Ruki with the nonsense of Kyo.
