C'mon now. What about Down, Crowbar, High on Fire, Black Label Society, Type O Negative, Machine Head, Nevermore... I could go on. I prefer European metal over American, but there are some great bands in the USA as well.
Fuck man these guys are good... i now them by mnemosyn but ther not at all like death note band ther song that are out of the series fucking ROCK!!!!!!!!
Yama B left due to the his musical interests and the direction the band was going in, listening to this i can understand where he is coming from, this song is much different than their usual stuff in terms of tone and feeling in the playing.
Man, you guys have to understand. If they put Samurai in this video thier fans would be like "WTF this is gay." They see that EVERYDAY in popular culture.
Now knights.... those are like how we see samurai to the Japanese people. Exotic, powerful, and masculine. To me it fits perfectly with Power Metal... Although the video could have been more energetic.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah but most people that listen to J-Rock are the lame Japanese wanna-bes. Soo to them Samurai's are cooler then knights. Some people like anything that is Japanese >.>
I listen to J-rock because it's the only REAL rock left. The old timers like Iron Maiden are getting ready to hang up their guitars and there aren't any groups left to fill their shoes outside japan imo.
It's not only that, it's also that basically all the North American rock bands today dont give me any feeling that they are "metal," more like whiny emo-crap.
Dont say that T_T .. Maiden still got plenty of years left
and Machine Head are not emo .. infact they just released a great metal album .. and Rob Flynn also said EXACTLY what you just said right there .. all singing about how their girlfriend left them and they are pissed about it in the US .. I kinda feel the same but dont give up on the west yet
there are alot of j-bands that sound similar also, many look and sound like they wanna be Gazette
Maiden is going into semi-retirement if you didnt know. They aren't going to do huge world tours like they used to (this is pretty common info btw). I LOVE Maiden (seen them 3 or 4 times live) but they just dont have the energy that they used to (physcial energy, not stage energy) that they sued to. It's sad.
Most J-rock bands I dont listen to. I listen to Versailles, X(sometimes), B'z (not really that great anymore) and The Yellow Monkey.
@pilotamurorei so many ppl try to bring these new bands to me saying they are so amazing and its always something like killswitch or mudvane lol. Majority of bands out there dont use any real skill or composition just open string stuff and stale lyrics :P
@Trezveil There's still a lot you've probably yet to hear; there are some amazing bands that have put stuff out in the past 10 years, though most of them are from Europe. America does have some good stuff though, like Dream Theater, Thought Chamber, Symphony X and Redemption.
@tinytimm101 Agreed. He's just a weeaboo who looks at everything Japanese and refuses to even delve into any other culture. Don't waste your breath on him, man.
@pilotamurorei That's why you're a retard. North American rock bands aren't 'metal', they're rock. Learn where to search before you slag off other country's metal and automatically cling to Japan like it's the best.
There are plenty of great bands from all over the world. Either you can learn that, or you can keep whacking off to manga your whole life. Fucking loser cunt.
@pilotamurorei Also, I'd like to point out the multitude of visual kei bands from Japan. I'm sorry, but all that shit nowdays is repetitive, boring shit not even close to metal. Japan has more of this 'emo-crap' you talk about than any other country. Fuck you're a faggot.
@ReturnedGrazzt The newer VK is "emo-shit" as you said, it's something all music genres will suffer from. Music warps and changes, usually never for the good.
I think 99% of Japanese rock sounds the same. I can't tell most of them apart by sound or looks. Galneryus and a few others are an exception.
I don't know why people think Japan is any more unique than anywhere else. It's not. Galneryus is a great band, but they're not great because they're Japanese, they could have been from any other country just as easily.
I can't tell Alice Nine and Gazette apart when you play their songs back to back. It's the same music. Girugamesh is a bit heavier. That's about it. They're all copies of the same things, with very few exceptions. Unoriginal and boring.
hmmmmm i think ur right jrock has a unique sound to guitar and vocals then US but u cant say there isnt any bands out there that also have that unique sound dude
A7x, Especially muse, metallica
but thats all i guess theres a few but not alot so i guess i cant really much but that so XDDDD
Metallica USED to be okay. I haven't even bothered with those sell-outs since the black album.
But even as I say this, the Japanese rock market is pretty bad right now also. About the only group really worth listening to is Versailles. X japan isn't X anymore (no hide) and now they may have to cancel everything because Heath's managing company is being anal about a contract or something.
No way, man. There are tons of REAL metal bands out there that are non-Japanese. Actually, I like Japanese metal, but it makes up a very tiny part of the metal I listen to. Japan is a tiny ass country, they don't have as much as other places because they have way less people, in general.
meh there's nothing wrong with the band's new sound. i mean its better than having new albums sounding the same over and over again. all musicians and bands tend to change their musical direction. nothing wrong with, only the listener who cant accept the changes
yeah ill agree with that (i still love that album, dont get me wrong) their sound today is more 'polished' they still stick to the same method of song writing, they've just perfected it, i wish Galneryus all the best, if i could pay them millions of dollars to continue writing music i would hehe soooo good! im going to try tee up a meeting with Syu when i go over! XD
I thought they perfected their style long ago! I think with this album they f*cked it up! There is some Galneryus elements but it doesn't sound like their other great albums they produced!
