X Japan Drain Live At The Wiltern Theater Los Angeles 9/25/10

Where the F was Sugizo? We paid for a live performance...

[yoyaki]

hide is not there..

[restsama]

this song is so difficult, Sugizo can't play it :(

[KiraNightmare]

@restsama don't think so, Yoshiki wasn't on stage neither.

[restsama]

@KiraNightmare My dearm Drain was always played with this synth drum, a typical "resting song" for Yoshiki. I just mean: why can't Sugizo play now all the hide-parts in all the songs?

[lunarmeaow]

@restsama I think they did that intentionally. They wanted hide to be with them in their first long-dreamed US tour, even just with his recordings. They cannot use hide's video image, so hide was there in a different way, to illustrate their feeling to hide and as X with 6 members. T_T

Of course sugizo can play. I watched him play before. But Drain is a song from hide, so he didn't to play hide's part in US trip.

@restsama like @lunarmeaow had said. And also, the reason why Sugizo not play hide's is a way to respect hide's.

[restsama]

@crazyotaku4ever and the reason why us ppl, who don't insanely love X Japan will just stand and stare, why cant that guy with that guitar (who supposably can play it) play the songs? Who the fick is that pink guy over there?

I think this respect stuff was okay for the reunion. Natural for the hide memo summit. maybe tolerable for the 2009 tokyo concert. But its U.S. Conquer time for cryin out loud! Live music is needed!!!
