These guys have sold more albums then Metallica! Look it up on Wikipedia! WOW. They are HUGE all around the world, but can't get over in America... PLEASE!
i think its not punk influence they said they were influnce by Kiss since they was a kid... and its called Visual Kei in Japan which now Its Jrock a lot wearing that kind of dress...
@rais3tong Yes KISS was a big influence on them but they were also influenced by bands like the Sex Pistols, The Damned, ect... Many VK bands were influenced by both punk and metal.
It did because of the thing that TOSHI invited YOSHIKI to meal of three people.
Written ><. the thing that it wants to play the sound as a member of thing that has gotten excited, thing to accept TAIJI and to have expressed gratitude for HEATH, and X TAIJI play the enjoyed thing that live in Nissan is terrible, old friends, and the sounds by the blog
And, the relation between TOSHI and YOSHIKI is terrible and excellent now. It became a chance that TOSHI returns to XJAPAN because of song "without you" made for HIDE.
There is a rumor because of doing the drug to the reason of which TAIJI seceded in Japan.
Do you think that TOSHI and PATA of the member trowing that it was HIDE, TAIJI, and was the friend are permitted to secede TAIJI by YOSHIKI individual's reason even if the drug is not a reason?
I think that it is a thing that understands soon when thinking.
Agreed. It's Yoshiki's way or the highway, as proved with Taiji leaving because of disagreeing with Yoshiki's direction of 'more classical ballads'.
I have to say I prefered X in their glam days rather than their later years. Blue Blood, X and Kurenai are much better than Crucify My Love and Tears.
Sorry, but I find most of X's ballads utterly boring (except Endless Rain). I prefer their heavy metal side.
yeah, we can see that x japan doesnt belong to all members...it seems belong to yoshiki only...look at their album's cover...only yoshiki right?? the main role for their pv, yoshiki again... most of their songs wrote by yoshiki right?i heard that taiji, toshi, pata & hide also wrote lots of songs for x but being rejected by yoshiki...x is all about yoshiki...
Totally classic. I wish they'd bring this one back. Well, they did perform it on New Year's Eve 2008. Hope they start to perform it more often, along with some of their other more underrated songs.
I think there is hope for sadistic to be played. They play the song in the dahlia tour, when they were just perfoming "not so hard" stuff. About Phantom, i just dont think it would happen, but nobody knows except Yoshiki, because is not his song.
Que tipo mas ignorante... X Japan no tiene nada que ver ni con el visual ni con el metal, es una banda de rock, inspirada en KISS (de alli los looks extravagantes)
y si realmente supieras de musica, no dirias "que decepción!"
porfavor, primero informate mira su historia y escucha sus otras canciones. despues buscame, me imagino que eres un bebe aun en esto de y que solo tienes 21.
Gotta be honest, I was surprised at how well he has aged. Look at him at the reunion. I think he aged the best. Though Pata still looks them same. 20$ he out lives us all.
and i fail to see how what i think about visual kei says somthing about my sexual orentation, all im saying are they are the first visual kei band, and probally the best, i just want more people to know about visual kei not argue here, its a discrace to one of the best songs ever playing up there
and i fail to see how what i think about visual kei says somthing about my sexual orentation, all im saying are they are the first visual kei band, and probally the best, i just want more people to know about visual kei not argue here, its a discrace to one of the best songs ever playing up there
could some one help me here. once and only once on youtube i seen a video of x japan i dont remember the song but i know the what happens in the video and i am going crazy looking for the video. in the begining it shows a girl listen in her room to x japan and her mom comes in screaming about x japan and she starts to ripp down the girls x japan poster. then it shows hide come down in her closet and he acts like a alien and takes her with him then the song starts please help me find out this is.
why not? they've got a lot of metal elements in their attitude, looks and music. they've apparently been influenced by bands like ny dolls (ok, not so metal) and all them early glam rockers like kiss. you wouldn't call bands like cinderella visual kei (what is that, by the way), wouldn't you? categorizing is just for marketing anyway...
LOL dude im not going to get mad rather just tell you X JAPAN IS VISUAL KEI, VISUAL KEI IS X JAPAN. they are the first visual kei band and made the genre, and yes they were influenced by metal ALOT, but there still visual kei, wich is a good thing lolz
Metal is the genre, actually, DMitsukirules. X may have spawned Visual Kei, and they may even look back on their early days and call themselves visual kei. But you have to remember that DURING these early years, they did not consider themselves as such, and were influenced, physically, by the look of glam.
visual kei is a genre of music about the visual's, if a band does pop and has a visual kei look, it can be visual kei, wich is why theres techno visual kei bands, when you say i listen to visual kei, you are saying you listen to the people who do these things on stage, not metal
visuel kei has nothing to do with music, and isnt a music genre either. its a clothing style, the only reason why most people think visuel kei is a music genre is becaus many bands (MANY BANDS) out of japan do have this clothing style.
Of all the genres, I found X-Japan to have more metal elements than normal Rock n Roll. They also include some punk elements, in the form of the high intensity drumming - and their look is also similar to punk as in, it is there to be seen! Also the speed of their songs is generally high tempo - once again more like Metal and Punk, than classic rock.
Classic rock isn't a supposed to be a genre though. X is/was a punk influenced, metal band who are considered "classic rock" now, simply because they first arrived on the scene more than 15 years ago.
Yeah...the beats in todays music ain't fit enough to be compared to music from the past... whether it's speed rock, hard rock, metal or even ballads... X farking rules!

TOSHI is eagerness of running fast as vocal of XJAPAN until it becomes impossible to sing again as other members now as YOSHIKI.
Moreover, it was TOSHI to make the chance that TAIJI co-stars in Nissan.

Same for me , I still like vanishing vision and blue blood and jealousy better than dahlia.
Its not that heath wasnt good, but taiji was really someone who shouldnt be taken away fromm x.
when he left , the songs by x were different, it wasnt so purely for rock, but more for the industry.
I too liked their live in the beginning years where there was so much more burning passion .
for me I liked Xclamation alot XD..
Heavy metal X was still be best X!

ever since x japan reunioned, the relation between toshi and yoshiki doesnt feel the same anymore.
Now toshi is only a team member and not yoshiki's best friend anymore..
Since he has the most say in x japan, he has become the controlling power in the group, thats why taiji had to leave .
And that was the first time hide cried on stage.
