Luckily, having some kind of education in a real country, I am fully aware of where Poland is in our world, and some of the historical significance it holds. At my current office, I even have a couple of Polish friends :)
Me too, personally. However, the original does have a certain RAW feel to it, like before they become X-Japan.
Recently, I've found I'm listening to a lot of their really old stuff. Songs like Feel Me Tonight and Time Trip Loving are bloody incredible. Check 'em out!
Lol, all these rumours are fake, also ofcourse SGZ can play this, he's a great guitarist.
The simple reason to why they dony play old songs is because thrash/speed metal is not popular anymore and they want large audience in America, playing thrash/speed songs won't give them that....
For the record, I don't base this off rumours, I'm not a fanboy, I appreciate the music. I actually love Luna Sea so I'm quite aware how skilled Sugizo is. I acknowledge your point, however, and understand even why X are going in the direction they are. I just think their new stuff is boring and bland compared with this video. I've never truly loved Yoshiki or hide's solo work, it's the combination of their personalities which made stuff like this unique and special. Peace :)
yeah! we are X!! Yoshiki is a influence for me too, i hope you be a great guitarist like hide or pata, sugizo mmm, sugizo not is an important member of X, hide live in his songs, like Sadistic Desire,Scars etc. we are X fans jeje GREAT!
The sound of the drums, the skills & strenght of Yoshiki is one of the best things of X, for me Yoshiki is the best drummer of Japan and one of the best composers,well i think this: X is better than all japanese bands.
You've summed up pretty much all of my thoughts too.
Yoshiki is a huge influence on me, he's the reason I picked up guitar in the first place, and has been one of my major inflences in terms of writing style.
If you like this you'll all love the New York Dolls-you, the future of our society, should check them out. The grandaddys of the Visual Kei movement. Also the 1970-1974 Stooges. Iggy was wearing dresses on stage before these guys were born. You should really like them too.
I believe that music is sonical art rather than visual art, however. So whether the artist wear tails and a wig, like Beethoven, or a skimpy bikini like Lady Gaga, I could not care less :)
Still, everyone finds appeal in different stuff.
If you like men in women's clothing, as my senior and fellow human, I shan't judge you.
May I also recommend their bootleg stuff too? They're not that common but they had some insanely good material they never officially released - like Feel Me Tonight or Danger Zone.
What did you expect? Vanishing Vision was their first studio album, of course there's going to be improvement when they go back to record after their first time.
Probably my favourite X song. I prefer it to Sadistic Emotion by Hide's first band... though it's very interesting hearing that one to see where desire came from...
Incidentally, I'VE GOT ECSTACY BUT I FEEL THE TEARS FALLING DOWN!
my fav song of X...and i didn't knew this version since right now....oo;;;;;;; i'm like.....woow, there is something you don't know yet from X songs...OO;;;;;; its....great...i love the bass parts together with the guitar solos here........**.......i totally fell in love with this song xD~
yes, you're right, but in a strange way, i was happy, because i have always the impression, that i know all the songs from X (they didn't publish very much.....;_; )....so it was awesome to hear something i didn't knew yet **~ (wha...that sounds so overbearing -.-" didn't want to sound like that...UU° hope you geht what i meant..xD)
I know what you mean. When I first got into X, it was so fun discovering song after song, album after album. It all seemed endless until I realized their were only 4 real album, then I started to slow down and take my time one song at a time. Now I only wish they had published more songs. I even look back into their indies period with Jun. I hope they make another album, sniff, most likely not
exactly, what the hell happened to Jun? so talented but it's as if he died after he left X, which I hope didn't happen. Yea but it seems like Jun left for good with no chance of even returning so we shouldn't count on his return. Their song's would;ve been so different if he was still in X though.
man did the band died out quickly? well it's too bad they have to use the Nazi sign in their band. But i'll still go check out there songs, if possible anywhere. But yea he had so much talent but he's not big, or very underground, indies.
come check out my x japan guitar solos compilation
@chingvang559 its not a nazi sign the swastika means something different in asia and is not associated with hitler in Buddhism it means eternal life or something along those lines
I'm not sure what score system they use, but I looked at the score for weekend - where I'm 100% sure they use harmonics, and it's the same notification as that...
So, it's a harmonic I guess... it just sounds REALLY violent, which made me assume it was a pinch.

youu got a nice setup buddy.
I'm not sure how to get it but i know a bit of the kit that hide and pata used.
Pata always ses Les Paul and Marshall (probabyl JCM 800)
Hide uses his signature fernandez mocking bird, and was known to use at least an ibanez tube screamer. He probably also sed Marshall amps.
However, they say that hide used les paul for recording. good luck - keep on playing!

'Bell' is the technical term for that part of the cymbal which you described! :)
Hence, when a drummer hits that bit, it can be called a 'bell hit'. Of course, it doesn't refer to an actual bell!

chingvang559 2 years ago
i think he joined a thrash band called Rommel right after he left X. he wanted a heavier more metal sound as opposed to Yoshiki's more melodic sound.
o yeah this was originaly a Saver Tiger song(hide's old band)
you should check 'em out i f you haven't already
