[DannoTheDarkOne]

best gig EVER!

[giantpanda2nd]

@33harajukugirl in Japan adidas sweatpants is a yakuza wear

[33harajukugirl]

Luv how they're bein all hardcore and Kyo's wearin sum adidas sweatpants and tennis shoes lol

[drumgroovy]

@33harajukugirl That's the thing... they're not trying to be hardcore... THEY ARE.

[TenthSage]

I use to listen to Mike Patton but now I honestly don't get anything out of his music nor do I even appreciate it.

[HersheyVolts]

@thetimbalanders @ska2808

it was pretty funny to see the responses about timalanders initial comment in response to mine. because my tastes have drastically changed since i made that comment and while I still quite enjoy certain dir en grey songs, my taste has progressed. actually, i LOVE mike patton! and when i saw dillinger they played mr. bungle before they came on. i'm not gonna make a comment towards whether kyo or mike is better but at the moment i am personally enjoying mike way more

[ska2808]

Mike Patton is a more versatile vocalist - but then again, he has a lot more projects to experiment with.

Faith No More and Mr Bungle definitely influenced Dir en grey, though. In fact, the main hook in SA BIR (the intro to Uroboros) is almost identical to a bit in Mr Bungle's Desert Search For Techno Allah.

[YanYinYan]

BMTH is creep.

[Athaleth]

I love the sounds Kyo did at the end......I dunno how he makes them or whatever it is, but it's just fascinating.

people in cardiff don't seem to share that opinion, otherwise they wouldn't have screamed on madness when teh song hadn't come to an end properly.

[SailorMars768]

UGH, KYO. <333 Fucking amazing.

[kalebxxx18]

Can u not hold a camera still

[rabidrobbie]

Sounds to me like he changed the lyrics up since the original.

[kythlion]

i like how he stars out

"*taps chest twice* Bastards! GROWL!!!!!!! SCREEEEEEEEAM!"

it reminds me of when I saw them.... psychotic and dominating as ever.

[bambarby]

fucking best screamer of all time

[Yashoo1991]

Dude, his new growl is so good. It's so glad to see him with no problems :3

[DJMORTYBOI]

i was there!! ^_^ FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[ennuem]

kyo = SEX <3

[stigerqueen]

this is so awesome!!! I am so excited i get to see them nov 18

[ThatOneBoyKid]

I'm going to see them Nov. 18.. as well..

I'm so excited

[stigerqueen]

It's going to be so awesome!!!!

[wizotch]

where?

[rayrayisgod]

why are people arguing between diru anf BMTH they are completly different -_-... i liked both of them in this show. they were both fucking awesome and it doesnt matter who is more metal. i got dizzy from headbanging in diru and lost my voice during BMTH all in all they both rocked that night

[luisarcos]

this shits fucking ridicules. Kyo"s voice has come a long way and its brutal as fuck now. def a plus on the lows and highs.

[Akix13]

Dir en grey > BMTH

It's not even a contest.

Diru is absolute perfection.

[:

[howimineforfish]

Diru Absolutley fucking rocked at bristol ive never seen someone put so much effort on stage before like he did

[howimineforfish]

BMTH played before Diru in bristol when i thought Diru were next i was well pissed because i got mnyself to the front but got them instead, god i wanna punch that singer, he jumped on the crowd at one point landing on one of my mates who hates them, he did well to resist punching that guy

[cookiekitti]

i dunno what this whole BMTH argument is about here, but all i can say is,

as much as i like BMTH they must of been crapping themselves coming on after dir en grey playing like that.

3.09 = fucking boss!!

[PatriciaDiru]

O___O Wow!

[hiimnobody]

kyo = amazing

[r4rukku]

damn!

the scream start it off!!

kyo rocks!

[vampyrhart]

this is how you blow emo shit like BMTH right off the motherfucking stage!

[wtfbbqhacks]

At least try to avoid sounding ignorant and get the genre right.

You can't really compare the two, so why bother bashing something that wasn't even a part of this video?

[vampyrhart]

i didnt you loser. You cant compare them becuase diru destroy bmth. bmth are emo shit. or screamo. or hairgelcore...whatever you want to classify them as. their music still licks ass ;)

[spitzndribble]

Move your finger one key to the left. :)

[wtfbbqhacks]

No, you mongoloid.

You can't compare them because they are not the same genre. BMTH is Death Metal with some Hardcore mixed in for the most part. Diru is mixed up the ying yang and I can respectfully say that because I have all of their music, I know their sounds.

I understand people have opinions, but you lack any explanation as to why you feel the way you do about them. Don't have children please.

[vampyrhart]

Death metal? i think necrophagist would have something to say about that. bmth are haircutcore and their singer cannot sing live. And i can respectfully say that also as ive seen them. if theyre death metal then cannibal corpse are jazz

[bakuraaggro]

BMTH??? DEATH METAL???

o_O BMTH IS LIKE METALCORE WITH SOME SCREAMS LIKE DEATH METAL -_- BUT IS SHIT COMPERE WITH DIRU =p

[wtfbbqhacks]

Parkway Drive is metalcore, BMTH isn't.

Anyway, my point was the two shouldn't be compared because they aren't even remotely the same. That's all there is to it. I'm done.

[BrokenALICEx]

dir en grey are good but kyo looks like a spastic on stage. c:

[bakuraaggro]

ofcourse!

[BrokenALICEx]

whereas bmth perform good live, and this music is fucking awesome.

bmth 2

dir en grey 1

:l

[bakuraaggro]

good lives?

oly voice live is like xD a fucking asshole

-_-

i prefer lives by bands like... u.u let me think....

Deftones??? good insane lives, Seo Taiji, The Gazette & Dream Theater..

but?? bmth??? is for gays -_-!!

[BrokenALICEx]

No, I think Oli gives a good show D:<

But I enjoy dir en grey aswell. only I'm not japanese. So i don't understand a word theyre saying c':

and another point, have you heard kyo at 1:17? o_o and you say olis voice is bad lmfao

[NsiderCustomrobo13]

@BrokenALICEx, somebody doesn't understand Dir en Grey's style.

I don't even know why BMTH and Dir en Grey would be compared. BMTH is typical metalcore that mall goths listen to, while Dir en Grey is more of an experimental metal. They do some weird shit. I can show you a million other bands that sound like BMTH, but I cannot show you another Dir en Grey.

[GuitarNiimura]

@NsiderCustomrobo13 many is trying to copy them through...

But They ALWAYS fail...

[Emblemz]

the bass player is fit and FUCKING HOT!

[NoodleMoogle]

I missed them in January - couldn go.

But this seems like it was immense.

[sugaretard]

ive seen them live 4 times so far and im still in owe of how amazing they are

it doesnt get much better than this

diru fucking rock my socks xD

[Demongate777]

i havent seen them yet cause they wont come to Australia :( I hope they do one day they are my fav band ever

[poisinlotus89]

man I love them :D

I'd love to see them live XD

their growls/shrieks.. are so hawt :D.

<3 them.

[nickvogel]

the growl in the beginning follow by the shriek is so fucking brutal!

[BaraKaStew]

i think asian metal is better then mexican metal. and this is the only song i like by them.

[nickvogel]

listen to merciless cult and bugaboo they are crazy songs like this one.

[Allhopeisgoneforyou]

i was there :)

Dir En Grey were amazing :D

[kuroshitsuji101]

oh my fucking goodness DIR EN GREY is like the fucking best band there is out there

[HersheyVolts]

dir en grey never ceases to astound me. i've recently gotten my hands on urobros, which is my first exposure to their music. it's amazing, because i really can't stand this style of music, but dir en grey's excellence is undeniable. kyo has the best vocal range of anyone i've ever hear and probably anyone i ever will. and the passion can really be felt behind his voice and all his hand-written lyrics. their performances look intense as well! many, many kudos!!

[TheTimbalanders]

@HersheyVolts Mike Patton has easily more range then Kyo. Mike can do any type of vocal style that you can think off: singing, crooning, screaming, rapping, scatting, death growls. He even did the voices for the zombies in the movie I Am Legend and the game Left 4 Dead

[KenSansei]

@TheTimbalanders uh, if you've ever listened to more than one dir en grey song you'd know that kyo sings? (thats in this video) croons? screams?(thats in this video) raps, and does death growls. everything patton does, but more, and better.

[TheTimbalanders]

@KenSansei Oh really? When has Kyo rapped, when has Kyo done stuff like provide the zombie noises for the movie I Am Legened and games like Left 4 Dead. When has Kyo done opera?

[KenSansei]

@TheTimbalanders In The IIID Empire. I never said kyo provided voices for movies or video games. He's true to his craft. I never said kyo did opera. He's a rock musician.

[TheTimbalanders]

@KenSansei No but what you did say was "everything patton does, but more, and better." and I'm just showing you that he clearly doesn't. He is no way near as diverse as Patton

[kjellisHERE]

@TheTimbalanders To rap you don't really need that much of a vocal range so that's pretty irrelevant.

And Kyo has done opera.

If you don't know anything about the subject don't speak your mind. And no. I am not going to have an online argumentation with you.

[TheTimbalanders]

@kjellisHERE when has Kyo done opera?

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders Who the hell is Mike Patton?

[TheTimbalanders]

@Cass0emoheart he's most famous for being the lead singer of Faith No More, but he's in loads of other bands too. He's also done loads of other stuff like doing the voices for the zombies in the Will Smith film I Am Legend and zombies in the game Left 4 Dead.

Look up 'Moonchild Mike Patton solo', its weird but it shows how much he can do with his voice

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders I've never heard of any of those bands. =_= *goes off to watch vid* Holy shit that was... sure he's got an interesting voice, but there's no feeling to it like Kyo has. I didn't feel a thing. It's not for me. Maybe it was just a bad video you recommended, but you failed to convert me XD

[TheTimbalanders]

@Cass0emoheart Look up "cuckoo for caca download" on youtube and click the first link, he does some amazing screaming in that vid at around 0.30.

Can't believe you've never heard of Faith No More though, they had that popular song 'Epic' which was like one of the first rap/rock songs of all time, it inspired loads of nu metal bands like Korn.

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders I don't generally listen to any metal unless it's Tool or Dir en Grey. I usually hate that kind of heavy music- unless something in a song speaks to me, then I'll listen to another by them, then another, etc. I guess experimental bands are my thing huh? Watched the vid and he's good, there was no question about that. I guess I'll have to look up lyrics as I can't understand a word he says.

[TheTimbalanders]

@Cass0emoheart lol Faith No More are like the epitome of an experimental band. They go from making jazz songs like 'Evidence' to pop rock like 'A Small Victory' to rap/rock songs like 'Epic' to metal songs like 'Cuckoo for Caca'. One of their most famous songs is a Lionel Richie cover

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders Sorry, I`m kinda shit with words. That`s fine that you like Fail No More, good on you- but it`s not for me. I`ve never felt as much emotion from anyone performing since I`ve seen Dir en Grey and I might never again(hopefully not). I could understand on some level what the song was about without understanding what Kyo`s saying and I think that`s what I love about them. I don`t like all experimental bands then, just the ones that speak to me XD

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders lmao FAITH* no more, sorry. See? Shit with words...

[Cass0emoheart]

@TheTimbalanders I listened to a few other songs by them and I'm having a big WTF moment. His voice reminded me of Kyo's in one vid, of Serj from SOAD in another, then Brandon Boyd in the next. O_o *wtf moment*

[KenSansei]

@TheTimbalanders that solo is just masturbation, its not artistic at all. there's not even any music in the background. if kyo wanted to do something like that he could. he even comes close to that in Red Soil. Check it out. Kyo HAS been 'compared favourably' to Mike Patton by famous online publications. Just saying.

[ska2808]

@KenSansei That solo is actually damn near impossible to perform. It's all written, and sounds exactly the same live as it does on record - it's using your voice as an instrument, and it's extremely difficult. It's actually written by John Zorn, one of the most respected avant-garde musicians out there.

Music is just arranged noise, and some people like to do it a bit differently.

[DiruFan09]

This concert was epic i was in the middle row i tried to get there as early as possible but it was such a fight through the crowds! great song and band

[papagoja]
