Metallica lost popularity when they an album with no guitar solos, and metal bands who over sell merchandise/dumb down there music/over advertise themselves on tv are considered sellouts, that's how its always been with metal fans.
Yoshiki has done all of this 1 million x worse than any other band, in any other country he'd be ruined.
You don't get it so don't bother arguing with me about it, just go buy some X-Japan Curry, earings and whine glasses Yoshiki soldout on.
Look, you don't understand the heavy metal genre, its the most talented genre of music along with Rock, and therefore there are rules believe it or not, this you DON'T DO to the music in a metal band.
The only reason Yoshiki decided to play Blue Blood on the news years live was because they went back to a small clup house for the first time in 20 years and thinks metal songs like Blue Blood are only suited for those places, yes that is what he said in slightly different wording and I that's a fucking insult to every metal band out there.
after that the closest is an acoustic version of Rose of Pain, that's it, we wont see classic X r the classic feel ever again, Yoshiki doesn't care.
Indeed X's style has changed for the worse, but they still manage to play many of their classics in their current concerts, and it sounds pretty darn good....so I can't complain....but once Hide-Sama left us, the band's new compositions kind of went down hill, style-wise....I'll be honest, "I.V." and "Jade" are HUGE disappointments to me....hopefully the classic feel of X will remain alive.
Anyone who's watching old videos/listening to their heavy metal songs like 'phantom, sadistic, rose of pain, Vanishing Love, Blue Blood ect.', and still thinks that Yoshiki cares about them really need to look at everything Yoshiki has done to destroy the heavy metal genre within the band and realise that Yoshiki kicked us all in the face in 1994 and never looked back.
The only fans he cares about are the "oh he's so hot" ballad loving fangirls, that's it.
Heath appears only on lives and on some official apperances on band in mass media..the truth is that X-JAPAN now is just money earning empty shell of old pure rock band.
Yes, its very sad and it just sucks that Yoshiki don't let him play the lead guitar parts. Thats why understand why title26 says that he is not doing anything in the band, just playing some random noisy crap :S. I think the same goes for the bass solo intro in endless rain, even if Heath if not as good as Taiji, he can do it for sure (is not difficult to do), but he never does, and personally, I think is because Yoshiki don't allow him.
Without the new guitar player we wouldn't have X-Japan back, also the new player is Sugizo from Luna Sea, and he and Hide were always best friends, and he plays X-Japan's songs just as good, so don't be so negative.
Sugizo recently played an awesome violin opening for Kurenai and Dahlia at the Tokyo Dome concerts beginning of this month.
yeah i know that because i was there for 2 days. In anyway i just want to say that not all guys who like X don't like lunasea. rather they should be a legend of the world who has completed its own fate
@title26 Actually, Sugizo is actually better than hide and Pata. He is a more proficient guitarist than either of them; however, that is one aspect. His compositions, while still very good, have nothing hide's (or Pata's).
@inukikyo89 Do not make me laugh ... guitar solos are very dirty and Sugizo hard to understand, the HIDE and Pata solos are excellent, well understood and are known to synchronize very well, besides classical influence in some songs, that makes them even better.
ummmm. Violin does not belong in metal, scondly, I have not seen Sugizo doi shit in the band, they just do old recordings of hide playing guitar, thirdly, do not watch this video. You are an X Japan fan, not an X fan.
you were talking about yune playing violin, pointing out that "classical has no place in metal".. when yoshiki plays piano.. you're obvious wrong and don't want to accept you're an idiot..
Yeah, i know how you feel. When i hear sugizo violin in the most recents lives, that just freak me out badly. Like something was really wrong there. About the guitar, he is not even playing the lead guitar stuff, but other ramdom crap and I really dont know why. And that thing about him been the six members, that just wath they say because they know how crazy can become hide fanboys. They really need to replace him, even if is Sugizo who does this. We need to stop hearing zombies playing
2.- About his skills, he is not as good as the luna sea fans claim. He is just average, but he can play an he is not doing it. In blue blood he was really very good, in that song he really played the lead guitar parts and it was nice (i almost cried when i heard blue blood, it was the best thing they did since the reunion began), and heath has improved since the last live, but is still no match for taiji awesome skills. toshi's voice, sometimes is amazing, and sometimes he just can't do it.
3.- Yoshiki still want to play like when they were in the eighties, and he can't do that anymore. lifting his arms so high and hitting the drums like if he is killing roaches just hurts him more, but he still likes to do it because he can't get old. He is a rockstar and he do everything for his fans... Pata is amazing. I still think they can make it, but the band needs to rethink what they are. They just can't stay forever in the past. Title 26, you are a troll, but still i like your style.
4th and last.- I love hide, but they have to move on. The tributes are ok, but they can do that just in one or two songs for concert. that hologram thing was amazing, even if they dont perform the song like in the past. Also I think violin could really work in metal songs, but not the way they are doing it right now.
Hey, ya know what... I agree with Pata since I saw him him in front of me (about 50cm) at small club concert in Poland with his pure improvised hard rock band Ra:IN. He IS PURE ROCK'N'ROLL guy even thou he's in his mid 40. He's not acting like halfgod, untouchable like yoshiki... I could even talk to him for 30 second! It was really nice. About Sugizo skills...he claimed himself that X-JAPAN's style isn't his AT ALL and he just play what he is told to do.
Awesome! Too bad X japan will never play this song live ever again. The reason being that its Taiji's song. They stopped playing all of Taiji's songs after he left.
ya i no. but i still think that phantom of guilt isn't a very original song. but x japan is still muh favorite band because they have soooo many original songs. i just don't think phantom of guilt is one of them
If they had all ballad style original songs then they would lose their OWN original, because a talented original band needs a few typical songs to fill out their albums nicley.
I know what you mean. but, Taiji, the composer of this song was a huge fan of Deep Purple. I think borrowed some parts from Smoke in the Water. From taiji's solos, you can tell he really liked that song since he covers the main riff from that song.
X Japan must play this song in the 2012 tour !!!

@TheBalticSun Sugizo is a better "technician" than either of them, and he has a great, deep style, too. Albeit, it works better for his solo stuff.
I like Pata and hide, more, though, and I think their harmony is something Sugizo can never do.
