  • Rap is just a shit that gangsta did when they can't shit, so they invent something so that all the shit come out when they shit, and this music is for the one who has brain, cuz this kind of music will live 4ever even when rap can't do shit more

  • EPIC is a vile understatement.

  • @CthuluHasChannel rofl go back to school ? annoying much ? yea humains like you are really stupid

  • @CthuluHasChannel lol if you like hide's hair then watch the Art of Life that performed on the 12.30. A day b4 this, his hair was much better

  • o what is this i have found..ty youtube

  • This is a complete musical masterpiece. There is not gonna be another Art of life. A song like this will never be made again. Yoshiki is the greatest composer of modern age. But with this song he has surpassed even himself.

  • no other song is "ART OF LIFE" !!

  • Well, I guess I shouldn't judge the book by the cover...

  • Yeah!!!!!!!

  • what's name of this song

  • @meajaetvxq It's named "Art of Life"

  • この曲聴いた瞬間背中がゾワっとしました。神!!

  • まさしく感動&最高、この一言に尽きます。yoshikiは音楽­界の神ですよ。

  • Basically the best solo ever right here.

  • a 29 minute some? who in the right mind would think of doing something that stupid? o yea, these guys :) this song is amazinggggg

  • @pellegrinidude ...Rush, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Genesis, Meshuggah, Iron Butterfly, Deadmau5, Pink Floyd...the list goes on...and on...and on...

    but yeah this song is sexysauce.

  • @pellegrinidude And Corrupted, also from Japan has a song spanning over an hour.

  • 13 people don't play music in a band.

    espicailly dislike J rock / metal / Visul

  • I've been listening to that solo for 15 years and it still gives me goosebumps, hide is a BEAST.

  • My GOD! I am obsessed with this band! My dream tour is Dream Theatre and these guys. But just to see these guys at all would be amazing... PLEASE come near Sacramento Cali.

  • @Btyson2121 sacto? me too lol ,

  • Comment removed

  • I miss you HIDE...

  • Nobody like you Hideto... I wish you were here... miss you so much. How would be a X-JAPAN concert with you... I could die after that.

  • Eargasmic part: 0:57 to 2:35

  • this is funking shit

  • @MultiHardcore4ever Tell you what...I've checked your channel. What did I found? NOTHING!!! We can't say much by the nickname, But yours tells a big deal 'bout you. So you're into Hardcore. That's fine, it's a matter of taste. But your comment shows the difference between songs like "Art of Life" and the kind of music you're into. There are good metal songs and fucking awesome and epic songs like this one. But we don't have the need to prove anything by making stupid notes on Hardcore videos!

  • @MultiHardcore4ever Funny little troll <3 Don't know good music when you see it.

  • DVD持ってるけど、何度見てもすげぇ・・・

  • YOSHIKE IS MY KING! HIDE MY GOD!

  • 2:13 - 2:25 THE MOST EPIC PART EVER PLAYED!!!!!

  • QUE NUNCA SE CANSAN? XD ESTA CANCION ES LA MEJOR DE TODAS *0* XOXO

  • 1番だな

  • BEST SONG EVER

  • omg!! this is lot more than epic!

    this band should be more known!

  • What an epic song! <3

    X forever!

  • I just realized...

    Go to 5:00. Listen to the strings.

    Notice how the arpeggiated notes are off time? Keep listening. They gradually catch up until they're right on the beat.

    That is pure bees.

  • 13 people are just died in the first drammatic part.

  • 13 people prefer tokio hotel

  • How many high profil bands can play 30 minutes no errors/speed/ballade/power metal songs....i know only one...havent heard of any other though

  • this song is hypnotizing

  • LEGENDS!!! EPIC!!! WE ARE X!!!

  • X japan and Loudness.

    These 2 bands equate in more talent than every other band put together.

    My music needs are all met by these 2 bands..

    Well done Japan.

  • we can't express this song in any word

  • LOL, Lars Ulrich sucks dude, everyone is better than him.... Yoshiki is an awesome drummer

  • Yos has taken his neckbrace from 14 years...you know what, other drummers don't have a neckbrace on their necks, and they don't rock?

  • @anynhi other bands they do rock.....but not with their soul . u know what? if any rockers try reaaaaaaaallly hard on performing , more or less , they will be suffering from body injuries, cuz their body get aged every second ,somehow the human body can't catch up their heart of performing to the perfect.

  • Theres only a few bands out there these days that make soulful, powerful, emotional, and amazing music. X-Japan is one of them, this song is just beautiful

  • what a great drummer!!! Who is Lars?

  • @inflames1965 what do u mean, dude? There are things that we can't compare you know...

  • @anynhi that he is better than Lars Ulrich, i saw a new recording of x-japan, he drums so hard tha he need a neckbrace

  • hide!!!

  • 13 people are deaf

  • Somehow I ended up listening to these guys while starting out listening to musicians from Finland. I can't believe I Kevin Bacon'd from classical music in Finland to this band. Youtube finds interesting ways to "recommend" ...

  • A Song for Eternity ! I love X, Metal and Classical Music ..

  • hide foreve....

  • Proof of how hardcore Yoshiki is playing: the guy standing to the left of his drum-set making sure his cymbals don't fall off the platform from how intensely he's playing.

    (At least I think that's what he's doing.)

  • LOL, now i know why Yoshiki has neck pain... just look at the way he plays drum here in this video.

  • 4:10 imagine u standing in the stage, looking at crowds that looks upon you as gods.. i'd jizz right there

  • rap is just whats popular now, but this music will last even after rap has lost its appeal.. Long Live X!

  • @friendlyfurbie1979 all other music is jsut a phase this is cemented in time

  • ok please...somone tell me why rap is more popular than this kind of music ? wtf ? i just dont get it.......humains are really stupid

  • @fouremoi

    totally agreed!!!!!!!

  • @fouremoi HEY MAN, I AM RAPPER... AND X JAPAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BAND I'D EVER SEE... IS DIFERENT FROM THE AMERICAN MUSIC, FASTER, EXCITING, BETTER MUSICIANS, EVERTYHING !! R.I.P HIDE !

  • @beodomc23 Man that's the best comment I've ever seen. I have so much respect for open minded musicians. There are no boundaries so i don't know why people have them. Quality is quality. Talent is talent. Intensity is intensity. I hear it in all music. Thank you for that comment. Man, you made my DAY! =)

  • @fouremoi that's an easy question to answer my friend, nearly 80% of human kind is stupid and lazy, this is translated into what?you may ask...obviously difficult to understand music is not so appealing because lower minds may thinks is the same or simply the don't understand it so it becomes abnoxious to them....rap is not even music, is just some nigger shaking his ass next to 20 bitches and performing a lyric with a rythm behind, i wouldn't bother to describe it as music! art of life is music

  • @mazopac Watch out for what arrogance will turn you into. Enjoy what you will, but don't look down on others for what they like.

  • @fouremoi this is my old account lmao....i lsot the passs :'( help^? lol

  • @fouremoi AMEN!

  • HIDE!!!

    

  • Yay, I'm the 1100th like ;)

    and OMG I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!

    and all my favourite songs tend to be 20+ mins long 0_0

  • Everyone should hear this song in full at least once in their life.

  • All I can say is: OMG! 

  • I have the DVD for this, it's fucking epic!

  • @RAV115 DO WANT

  • 12 justin bieber fans were here

  • @sexypadri Jaah!

  • No tengo palabras para describir lo que siente mi corazon al escuchar esta cancion una y otra vez. La emocion me domina cada vez que veo a Yoshiki tocar la bateria con esa pasion indescriptible, y Hide, que decir de el, la leyenda no morira jamas dentro de mi, larga vida X Japan.

  • Shame to all 12 people who dislikes this...Shame that they do not understand how epic this music is..

  • After Art of Life release it became Dahlia downhill. :[

    They could always pull great live shows tho. They still do today.

  • @Mii85 Y downhill ? I think their Dahlia album shows their multi-faceted talents as well , rather than just doing the usual heavy rock traits as per their previous albums. They keep reinventing themselves...trying different styles of music, which reach out to different crowds & still remaining popular regardless of the style of music they try. They r just ....talented. & I hope they can keep making different kinds of good music for many years to come :)

  • hide is a guitar god

  • oooh my oooh my I just go and get the CD !

  • lol, yoshiki's hair and hide's hair make this song even more epic

  • WOW. art of life is epic!

  • hide must be so damn hot in that outfit and under all that hair.

  • X japan never disapoints :)

  • The first minute of this part is.... Outstanding!

  • watch V-key versailles

  • @NoniNekoNYA Dream Theater is a metal group, they are actually quite similar to X Japan, you should check out their song "Constant Motion" or their whole album "Systematic Chaos" or "Train Of Thought"... If you enjoy X Japan then you'll really like them! =D

  • animefanclay @ X Japan y Dream Theater las mejores bandas del mundo...

  • @PumaOmegaWeapon ummm sry i dont speak spanish... 0.o

  • @animefanclay best bands in the world

  • @sebaswildboy hell yeah

  • @sebaswildboy yea but...rhapsody is better for me :P

  • hey guys, if you can tolerate brutal vocals i recommend listening to "crimson" by edge of sanity. it's a concept, one song, album lasting 40 mins. another classic epic song/album containing everything from melodic death to prog and gothic rock!

  • I feel like Sephiroth is going to raise from the ground center stage.

    :l

  • @slimsanta811 hahahah.. now that you mention that, it kind of seems possible lol. of course if it happen, everyone would just die of too much hardcoreness =-)

  • PEOPLE ...I ALREADY GET IT

    BECAUSE IT IS WHAT THEY DO.

  • fuck everything i thought i knew this is the only epic song ive ever heard .epic is thrown around so much these days but this is why that word was invented wow

  • yoshiki's stamina in the drums (especially in the double bass pedals) is just amazing.

  • hah lol this is like my favourite band ever, though this was made before i was even born :DD

  • super...super...super

  • pure genius

  • wtf's up with ridiculous looks??

  • @Kapik1337 It was like the Japanese way of Glam and Hair Metal, it's called Visual Kei and if you look it up you will find out that it's fashionable (in Asia) to look like a girl when you are a boy and look like a boy when you are a girl.

    Thats whats up with all the leather and the long hair.

    I dont know if you know Boy George (a gay singer from England) he always said he was inspired by this look too.

  • @MrDunkJunk moar liek inspired by a dick in his ass lol am i rite??

  • @Kapik1337 No, your not. These guys can look feminine, and fuckin' shred. They kick serious ass. They are bad-ass. They caught your attention, clearly. That's what it's all about. Shocking the people, and being like nothing else while dropping everyones jaws with their Extreme shredding. That's Visual Kei. I suggest you do some research next time before you decide to offend an entire culture you know nothing about.

  • @MassiveJetGrind I wouldn't call X Japan's guitarwork "extreme shredding" (compare to Yngwie Malmsteen or Buckethead for example). And the term "visual kei" has nothing to do with music, really. Dir en grey are visual kei and they play industrial-influenced pop rock. Malice Mizer are visual kei and their music is wannabe-artsy goth rock. In Japan Marilyn Manson and Mötley Crüe are called visual kei. When X started, visual kei meant thrash metal bands with punk-influenced hairstyles.

  • @BellXlleb Haha By "shredding", I meant their over all sound, though it is a guitar term. What you say is totally true, and I agree. I was just explaining the concept of shocking people with their looks to the guy who didn't know anything. I didn't feel the need to get into detail, 'cause he doesn't know anything to begin with.

  • @Kapik1337

    loltroll succeeds in making people take loltroll srsly.

  • Like I said on part 1/4... this song/ video still gives me goose bumps... Classic!

  • i always listen to this song when i feel tht i want to waste time

  • @dixusq yeah, except i dotn think listenig to this song is a waste of time

  • I like this song

  • I don't understand... if someone makes magic with the guitar, and can probably play 50 times better than you, how can you say that his technique is poor? I'm sure people learn techniques to sound better...? Maybe they should just learn hide's...

  • They're fucking amazing...I've never heard of em before I watched this vid...this just became my new favorite song

  • the piano part is cool, but gets annoying when he starts hitting random keys on the piano. it's art and I like that, but it's personally not fun to listen to that in a song. but it is artistic.

  • 天啊,真的是神!!

  • Awesome. WE ARE X

    we love u hide!! R.I.P.

  • At 4:00 I thought it was god calling to me (his voice is that beautiful)

  • Does anyone know which one was Hide matsumoto the guitarist?

  • The one with pink hair.

  • @Ninjasprayer

    Thank u :'(

    he was too Young

  • 0:59-4:00 pure badassory. Reminds me of the good ol days.

  • Comment removed

  • nice ^^

  • realley realley realley realley great  song.

  • If only I had 10% of their song writing skills... if only. Probably one of my favourite songs of all time, if not my favourite :)

  • EPIC!!Cool performance.best JROCK visual KEi band ever!!

  • This song is so long and perfect. I love it! I don't think I can get sad because this amazing song doesn't end at 5 minutes. X Japan....words cannot truly express how awesome they are. There will NEVER be a band as original and unique as them.

  • I love this snare sound! Is it just a lot of reverb or is there more to it?

  • @Mog087 actually, if you see the entire live version of this, you can see that he gets of the drums to play the piano piece. Pretty taxing if you ask me. Playing the drums for about 14 minutes straight then getting off to play an 8 minute piano solo.

  • exelente Hide !!! lo maximo xD!

  • This is Music with Heart and Brain, in other Words its Perfect !

    Its Mystic...

  • @gacktology

    "Music with Heart and Brain"? That is good call. You rarely hear music that have those two combination. During the 80's, many of "guitar wizzards" have made music with lots of "brains" with lack of "hearts" while during 90's, there were good "hearts" with no "brains". This is perfect example of something that is....as you said "Perfect!"

  • They are GODS <3

  • seriously this is fucking epic 0.0 *bows down to epicness*

  • finesse, it's all about finesse..fhew.....x-japan, musicians with impeccable finesse....heehee, im trying to be profound here

  • Possibly they made few errors, but at their skill lvls we cant hear them. Totally awesome, nice tension and epic is it. Yoshiki is brutal, guitar players are also in the top league.

    Awesome song.

  • How the fuck they play a 29 minute song witouth errors? o-o

  • Willpower.

  • Will-fucking-power indeed.

  • They are X JAPAN u_u

    !!!

  • Umm, don't think so! XDDD I dunno, maybe they're truly rock gods! XDD

  • @Luvinhas Practice. It's their job.

  • @Luvinhas Lol not only play this song for 29min, they play alot of song in live with art of life :p You should know how crazy they play music non-stop

  • @Luvinhas The same way Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fantomas, and countless prog groups do.

  • @TheTasteOfReason and hows that :P your answer isnt really an answer XD he asked how, not if other bands do it as well :P

  • @TheCentrix Yarr! Thanks for hitting me back with semantics! As far as the how goes, I'll sum it up by saying my own experience shows it is infinitely easier to remember and reproduce material you wrote yourself as opposed to that of other artists.

  • @Luvinhas In fact, the audio was studio-edited, some parts were rerecorded for the dvd.

  • @Luvinhas They re-recorded parts of the song for the DVD. I love X-Japan BTW, so I'm not hating on them I'm just stating fact.

  • @petra678 where Did you get that info? I didn't know it :/

  • @Luvinhas ...I believe they can go back and clean up mistakes fairly easy but even knowing that does not take away from its awesomeness! =)

  • @Luvinhas Because they're X Japan. Duh. They're just that great.

  • @Luvinhas well only God can be perfect, i guess that means they're GOD!

  • @Luvinhas simple. just be godly like X! WE ARE X!

  • @Luvinhas Practice, practice, practice. Every day, loving what you do, :)

  • @Luvinhas They're not the only ones to do that. :P

    But they actually are the only ones doing such epicness in 29min

  • @BanditNoBody yeah, the mars volta has some pretty long epics, but X Japan and Volta are completely different.

  • @BanditNoBody listen to six degrees of inner turbulence... is an 42 min. epic song
