[boomdadrf]

awesome band in the world

[KanaY20]

I kinda miss them like this and there old style.

I know the feeling, for sure. But Uroboros is a lot more like their Kisou/Vulgar days than Withering To Death and TMOAB were... in some ways.

@miwsher I dunno about that, some of the stuff on WtD (Kodou, The Final, Itoshisa) wasn't too different from stuff like Amber. I agree with Marrow though.

Same here. I also miss Kyo not using a ton of echo and reverb on his voice, but he still sounds amazing live.

i miss toshiya in makeup, god, so sexy.

[miwsher]

I think they all stood out so much more with the makeup! Their music is still great now, but I thought the Vulgarism tour was the artistic peak of their costumes. :/

[memoriesin]

yep, they stop putting make ups now =(

I mean, i can take kyo not dying his hair and not wearing pretty clothes, but at least make ups~~ LOL

[miwsher]

It's weird to see Kaoru in particular without the makeup! I've seen those eyes with makeup so much that it's unusual to see them without. lol. But at least the music itself has remained awesome.

very fun to watch. it reminds me a bit of some 80's big hair bands. but, i really dig the sound.

[miwsher]

You should see how they used to look before this era! They wore fancy wigs and had the makeup of the 80s hair bands as well ;)

I really love their outfits in these performances though... suave and powerful!
