11Merciless Cult DIR EN GREY Wacken Open Air 2011

[MrVinushka]

For anyone doubting their live competency, just look for videos from the Utrecht show the day after this one. This bad performance was due entirely to sound problems, which should be clear just from watching it (people running on and off stage to fix things, the band shooting each other concerned looks, Kyo yelling at the engineers etc.).

[zenithar6666]

yes the utretch show was fucking unreal

[jp5926is]

叫び狂い果てるは普通に歌ってもいいだろ

てか裏声どうしたｗｗ

[anbmjj]

ok.. I think when they're doing live's and a song requires those grutty background vocals.. they should just leave it up to kaoru, cause idk wth toshii was doing on different sense.. it was a nice attempt but Kaoru's obviously the best choice for the job.. and yes if two are required. die is the next choice... I wonder how shinya sounds!?

[Twiggyay]

@anbmjj Toshiya used a more growlier style and Kaoru low shouts. i like Toshiya's better but still, Kaoru does a good job and it fits.

[kuujyouhiroaki]

この結末は望んでなかったが良く頑張った。

wackenで出来がいいライブができることを待ち望んでいるよ­

[Twiggyay]

This is the Dir en grey I like, look at Kyo fucking go in the Chorus and listen to Kaoru, shiiiit.

Shitty guitar tone though.

[DestroySteve]

Not saying im on the sound tech's side. Im not, he sucks. But in a stage like that where its band after band, it is a little hard to get everything right. And it happens. BUT! he got nothing right. So he sucks.

[DestroySteve]

@DestroySteve Okay Shin's drums sound good. So he is not a total fail. :P

[Semantika85]

I would want to be there T_T

[eLu99]

no anymore visual kei on Dir en Grey >.> is a good part anyway they are great now

[hiimnobody]

kyo's low growls had gotten a lot better now. diru live performances just get better and better.

[Jessmo90]

good thing toshiyas bass is cranked... guitars dont seems beefy enough (probably the least of their sound problems at this show)

[maosatoru]

SE NOTARON LOS PROBLEMAS TECNICOS

[devilonthebay]

Man, Kyo really should have stopped the first half of the performance until the staff did something about the sound. I mean, dir en grey still kept going like they can't stop now but the staffs here seriously ruined it.

[Crylhound]

Hang the sound engineer!

[DeathIncarnate87]

Honestly I would have to say Kyo is a much better vocalist now rather than back when Withering to Death came out. His range is a lot better and I think this live is a really bad one to base his skills and competency off of as a vocalist. The audio for this live was completely fubared at the beginning and honestly I think he might has strained his vocals a little bit in the first 7 songs. But I say go buy their new album because it's fucking epic.

[ToshiyaReitaVK]

@DeathIncarnate87 yes i agree

[Needless957]

@DeathIncarnate87 i gotta totally agree with u there man.

[0masik0]

omg....kyo was sooooooooooooooooo much better in 2006 v_v

[demidevil666]

The concert was awesome!

But I hated the sound system this year.

I stood in 3rd row, in front of toshiya and couldn't hear anything except for bass and Bass drums. Those huge subwoofers in front of the stage blaste away everything! too bad =/

[descendantkazumi]

I love Merciless Cult... but I don't like this live version :/

(sorry for my bad english)

[JapaneseModernist]

Yeah! Merciless cult is a classic! Wasn't expecting them to play it

[InfernalKamikaze]

@tans2k7 it was the first song they played...

[xXLadyDiruXx]

@tans2k7 The first song (after Kyoukotsu No Nari)

[TatsurouSan]

warthog:D

[Kuerna]

Kyo about this show: "Sorry, all. WOA show was terrible 'cause I wasn't strong enough. I'll fight w/ my biggest effort and boiling blood as I refuse to lose. -Kyo"

[Twiggyay]

That was intense, best version i've heard. And Kaoru's backing vocals, shiet.

[Aunnir]

Thanks for upload

[DollySu]

I want this one in Paris~♥
