[MaetelUsagi]

the best song ever..........

[mustamakkara89]

Wooooooow, you guys did a great cover!! I bet you put a lot of time and work on doing it, very hard cover, just ignore those negatives comments, i bet the only thing they can play is their organ, greetings from Mexico!

[JMFCracker32]

Esta bien pero es imposible igualar a x japan xD

Aun asi me gusto, seguid así!! ;)

[him89]

Im just gonna say this is too epic of a song to cover. Great job for doing it at all. mad props

[xxkagatexx]

Sucks!

[DaenThunderKnight]

wow, I want to make also a cover of this song guys, pretty good, i know th nerves made you make some mistakes lol, but, I was wondering, the singer knows what is he singing??

[llbomberll]

this suck! the vocal is like a chicken. lol! drummer suck!

[redfIfish]

singer suck. the others are good.

[colongil]

OH MY GOD, the drummer SUCK!

[colongil]

THE INTRO SUCKS!

[a012429]

good vocal

[castorviolet]

i like it.... good job guys!

[YAGAMI8A]

very good!! n_n from mexico!! i dont speak english T_T

muy genial el cover, me agrado

[3030hirosu]

やりきったのがすごい!

[bankban12]

よくこんな長い曲やろうと思ったね、すごい

[xjapan4evr]

no emotion

[Push1t]

great cover. watched all the videos and everything seem pretty good even with the degree of difficulty that this song is in. Singer sounds alright, might need to adjust with this range. I admit, the range is high, so could sing an octave lower like what others said.

5 stars for effort.

[kua1103]

なんや、すかしっ屁みたいなボーカルわ。。

[kaisersm1981]

@kua1103

じゃ貴方が歌ってアップして。楽しみにしてるよ。

[mayorde18]

if i would be there, the singer's out of tempo singing would be confusing LOL

but it was great

[5441544169]

good cover!! i like the guitarist on right

[ingraman]

EXCELLENT cover

[AnAristocratNamedEmy]

nice job!!!!

[p0pkorn88]

In addition to my comment I made a while ago, maybe you guys could try stepping the song down by 1/2 - 1 steps? I'm going to cover this song with my friends and it's hard to find a good vocalist.. lol.. so we lowered it a step to appeal more!

[ermac210]

One of my dreams is do a cover of this song with my friends... amazing cover just like I would wish for me. All are very goods (focusing on the drummer), the vocal is good but need improve a bit.

I love the girls btw! XD

[AnAristocratNamedEmy]

kawaii!!!

[p0pkorn88]

After watching this again, i think the vocals could use some work. You don't seem comfortable singing in that range. Maybe you should try singing an octave lower, in your natural range?

[GANFRAME]

drumsが

[SupermansDead93]

band was good

singer landed starring role in puberty the musical

[p0pkorn88]

I also want to say you guys have a VERY good drummer, it is hard to find good drummers to play now a days. I'm in high school right now and we are going to perform this at an assembly, so this is very inspiring. :)

[p0pkorn88]

Amazing! I'm going to be doing something similar at my school. :)

[SerchKaiba]

very cool! X 4ever!

[al853]

Why didn't you learned the lyrics?

[Jadikar]

You (and your band) is ULTIMATE! Plus you had that chick doing that speech thing. But where's the bassist at?

[GRATIFI3D]

This is great! As college students you still have a long way to go, probably be professionals :) you guys have talent!

I know Toshi's voice is high and he projects his voice well. Vocalist should work on your vocals if you want to match Toshi's, but still good :)

Guitarists are excellent too! Just need to work on your syncro parts at the solos, but the beginning was almost flawless :) I think you both have to practice together more on this song to make it perfect

[DahLiA614]

既然係台灣人..打中文好了..

鼓手係唔係應該掌握個拍子好d?

vocal其實好多位都入錯..都係快左..

結他o個D就冇乜大問題..但係最嚴重都係個鼓..-.-"

[hakainoyoru]

VERY NICE !! You're really goog

[MichaelTadashi]

何不稍微降低 key 来配合你的 vocal?

大部分的时候你都在用假音来唱，再不就是用喉咙来喊声。

有时候翻唱未必要跟足原唱。

我相信如果你们能稍微重编一次以你的原声来唱会更好。

鼓手也有待进步。节奏拿捏的不是很好。而且是单踩对吧。

独白也显得稍微平淡无感情。

不过，肯挑战这首歌，勇气可嘉。

好的尝试。

[toyu100]

Whoa!!!! that was awesome!!! I have no doubt that the vocalist someday would sing like Toshi!!! It's awesome!! I like a lot this song

Greetings from Mexico  ^^

PD. I hope you can upload some more videos of your band

[ryuzakira]

Super cool! Very X-japan! LOL!

[Archergod]

Music is superb! Vocal need to improve seriously.

[Mattii1234]

Quite amazing. Guitars and drums great! The vocalist has range and sounds a bit like toshi but the key is too high and the voice lacks attitude.

However this is still amazing because I can't think of a harder song to perform live and you actually get away with it.

[Toshiya814]

腹から声出せ！

[qyopmsn]

ボーカルがドラム聞いてないのが悪い

でもこんな長い曲の歌詞を覚えたのは拍手モノ

[AzakiVK]

This is for all of this video part 1 to 3. I seriously am disappointed.. Well i am disappointed... by the applause you guys get. You should get a standing ovation. It's an awesome cover. Yoshiki will be proud. We the 2 guitarist were soloing i expected the crowd to go AHH! but i only hear a few claps. These guys are great. Everything is almost perfect. The voice is alright. Can do better but still well done. very Toshi-like. Brilliant.

[marthalin]

Thank you for your comment! Not all the audience is Xjapan's fan, some probably have never heard the song before. That's why they didn't go crazy or anything like that. It also due to a nature of our culture--most people are shy. But thank you for giving us courage though, we will keep on moving! :)

[truecalling2323]

高音は難しいと思うけど、よくでてるね。

[princeofindonesia]

oh...n the bassist performed n sounded exactly like X Japan's one when they were performed in Tokyo Dome

[princeofindonesia]

guitaist n keyboardists r doin real great jobs....if the singer n the drummer can improve, u guys could perform the performance of ur life....but that indeed was a wonderful performance from u guys....took a lot 2 perform this masterpiece...if u guys r doin another performance, can u pls upload the video???

[Archon007]

very good cover!!

[VIPVIPVIP1919]

（笑）

[kawahara52]

なにこのばらばら。。。。最悪。。

[yukidelonge]

awesome....

[lordemisama]

cool!!!!

[Shinen]

I don't like this performance, but it's a really difficult song to cover and I applaud your guts.

[TychoRasch]

Toshi is known for is wide vocal range, which proves difficult to replicate.

When you sing this high it sounds really forced and not that good.

Try to sing an octave lower, i think it would sound better.

[wat923]

最悪。下手。

[elninojy]

vocalist, you sound like a dying chicken with a sore throat. drummer, u're supposed to hit the ride cymbal and not the hi hat during the section at arond 3:49.

[ryanchiuz]

wow nice... very good!!!! i understand the difficulty of this song!!!! props

[TehAshurii]

i'm amazed you guys even attempted this song. i would be afraid just to try it with my friends let alone play it at a festival. bravo! i really wish i could've been here, the sound quality would have been a lot better but still i bow to you guys

[bipbip2598]

the (sound)quality of the video is quite bad T_T but the quality of your work is amazing :) Just carry on that way :)

5 stars for me

[Mii85]

Great stuff guys! Art of Life is such amazing piece of music and you covered it really nicely.

[Amethyst96]

Hey everyone, I am from Mexico and I watched your whole video of Art Of Life, and it's incredible the way you play live. It's really amazing, I would like to play with you someday...

By the way, I think I fell in love with the mini-skirt's girl. she is so beautiful. send my regards to her.

Keep on rocking!!!

Forever Love.

Amethyst.

Hello-Goodbye.

[marthalin]

Great! Thank you for being so supportive! I'd love to visit Mexico one day. It's such a beautiful country.

By the way, our band is now lacking keyboard and bass. If you are one of these, you should really come and join! Good luck on your composition.

Best

Marthalin

[honouredman]

too bad you guys are in Taiwan... i want to join as keyboard player ^^ (i was trying to play the whole thing but lacking drummer, two guitarists, vocalist, and an extra keyboard to do the string orchestra :p)

[HayatoFernandes]

hey u did good .

[LucidFaia]

If you ask me, it takes courage to even _try_ to cover this song.

[Rakae]

Wow Majestic, Great job.

[SweetMusic223]

Wow, that singer has almost the voice of toshi! Great job!

[andyperrucci]

just keep it up guys, very good cover!!!!!!

[Zero2026]

I Think it was a very good cover, one of the best I've seen in You tube, and Art of Life is a masterpiece, so dont get frustrated cause u see a lot of negative comments around the way. Keep it up!

[Darkblood189]

It's good to see that there are people who appreciate this music. I don't know many people who actually listen good music like X-Japan. Alot of americans (I am american) are to ignorant to know what real music is. I enjoyed this and I just want to say that you guys did a great job. You should check out some of my bands stuff. We're called "Pathway to Dreams" and we have three originals posted. I think you guys might like our stuff. Keep rocking!!

[angrykyo]

coordinations real bad n the vocals wasnt good

[mykimochi]

The piano definitely needs work

[takasaki6string]

Nothing like a couple of rehearsals to make it sound better

But carry on!

You're doing' Great !

I love th X-Japan songs, specially this one

[XJToshicult]

Dude you guys did great!!!!!!

[zeppelinfan617]

nice cover guys!!

some improvements are needed but damn this song is legendary so keep working at it!!!

[gseed]

this song requires double bass drums

[SheuhX]

the vocals was kinda bad.

[darkfire201]

quite nice but the vocals....

fuk man...

[AlexTelverdadero]

El vocal canta medio mal y se equivoco... en ves de decir: trought my eyes time goes by like tears... dijo la parte de close my eyes i wish i can hear... pero de todos modos es un buen cover de esta grandiosa cancion

[ninjutsu11]

well its cool that someone realy have done a full cover of X-japan's Art Of Life..but i dont like the voice..and the drums is not good..sry guys but still, its cool..really cool that u have done this cover..hope you do it again but with better vocal and drums^^, just train :D

[lei012]

it was a very good try ^_^

for the vocals, it won't hurt to lower your pitch so you won't have to sing that high! but if you really want to sing that high.. oh my, practice your breathing.. sing from diaphragm not the throat specially when hitting the high notes.. you will need lots of air ^^

that said, keep rockin!!

[riotchan]

good. good effort its really nice . i haven seen anyone daring enough to cover this song.

[timepink]

the cover is cool but i feel the guitars are out of tune, as so as the vocal, even he has a good voice.

[honouredman]

wow this is pretty cool, considering you guys play the piano part in guitar ^^ we should do a collaboration... check out my art of life on piano :)

[marthalin]

We actually have two keyboards, and thus play the piano part in one of the keyboard.

[ilikejrock]

I think you guys are cool. :)

Do more!

[ingraman]

The best X-Japan cover vocalist that I've ever.

[feng125]

you guys did a great job! some tempo issues, but still one of the best X japan covers i've seen. Keep it up!

[moisex65]

las voz esta un poco mal.. esta desafinada y aveces fuera de los tiempos.. un guitarrista luce nervioso y aveces tambien toca fuera de los tiempos...

[tengiscool]

Toshi was vocals for X japan for a reason. He could hit high notes that could imitate a girl. I don't think anyone could mimic his voice.

[billthegeek33]

Thx for covering this song! Very good effort! But the vocals need improvement. Good luck.

[yattadei]

i agree. toshi has a .. special voice. that isn't something any male can do.

i sing a little x japan stuff and i do it an octave down, kind of gackt-style vocal

[Guitarguy100]

Good Job, Art of Life is very difficult! Work on...

Go on world tour in 2008! Ten years after hide's death

[TaijiForever]

I will not enjoy this destruction. go back to school! and lose the sunglasses =) and you sing like you are raping a cow, go down some tones

[RoadOfMajor]

awesome dudes

[Retrosurrection]

Eh, a rhaspy Steve Perry moreso, it's his Japanese accent that makes it unique.

[Retrosurrection]

You need to sing a step lower, at least when you aren't using falsetto so much.

[Retrosurrection]

It's not impossible to sing like Toshil, it isn't easy, but possible.

[shiryu85]

dude o_O the voice of toshi is unique

[zefucb]

good job, very close to the original

[Sassyrecombinantpass]

Whoever's cheering for the vocalist in the background has obviously not heard the song.

[mushi753]

LOL this vid is pretty humorous. He's deffinently NOT the worst Toshi I've ever heard, but it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to sing the way he does. People doing X-Japan covers should probably sing an octave lower because this is obviously too much for most people.

[Stig1968]

Reeeaaaally emberrasing....worst episode ever

[ironbeast]

All the 3 parts were good. The vocals wasn't that bad. Practice makes perfect. Keep it up.

[seedofchaos]

it takes alot of courage to play this song live and u guys had it bravo guys and gals bravo very beautiful

[iiiNATASMAIiii]

90% of youtube users are the biggest tards haha! yes Asuras75, 3itchi3 and rnrhighway belong in that 90% of tards, grow up, these guys arent English so obviously singing a song in a different language is an accomplishment for starters, yeah the singer hit some wrong notes, but he did a fair effort, guitars were a little sloppy to, but still enjoyable

[marthalin]

thank you for your encouraging comment!

[fueled]

wow... don't you love it when people copy an artists song note for note don't you

[3itachi3]

ohh MR highway

u r rite !!!

vocal suck tot the cone

[movexz]

nice effort you did guys, i understand how hard it is to synchronize playing xjapan. all the player are good. nice... keep it up

[asuras75]

yeah... u fucking bunch of stupid posers

[rnrhighway]

WOW~~the vocalist really SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[ryoga99]

this is good

[papaxj0hn1026]

its awesome. but vocals and drums need more work. keep the tempo too.

[Gunbard]

Great!

[barkleyc]

真屌!! XD

[heartlesstruth]

hmmmm quite nice.. no one can take x-japan place... maybe u can take second place... Keep it Up!!! ^^

[yoshiki]

Vogliamo Ryoga!!!

[hide1986]

hey~~this is good^^ keep it up! 加油~~!

[AkumA05]

I thought it would be garbage, I was wrong. You guys are a very awesome band. No X-japan of course, but no one is X-Japan. Fricken wicked job ffs!

[StuDioBaTsu]

Art of Life!!! My bible!!!

[hkdaijobu]

WOW THIS IS AMAZING! I never thought ppl would actually cover this song.

[HeyHuub]

Wow great stuff! :)

[marthalin]

Thanks!
