This song was played at their Toronto concert that I went to and these guys are pretty awesome. Toshi still has his vocals oozing of amazing, though Im sad for hide not being here, this band can still play insane. Hopefully they continue for another long while.
@BitchinnShoes07 this is true. I temperarily worked for X japan in their recent gig at the Wiltern theature, LA, where i was expecting the singer to not be good at english, so i just nodded as he walked by. To my surprise, he said "Hey, how are you doing?" in near perfect english. I didn't know what to say for about 3 good seconds. lol
when i listen to this song, i want to cry because i wish people knew the pain i am feeling on the inside. then they wouldn't be saying half the stupid things they say. i just " want to be loved!!!!!!"
Excuse me, I got information that Pata & heath wrote the number titled "Wriggle." So, this was my understanding that "Drain" was by hide. If it were my misunderstanding, thank you for your correction.
I first heard this song on the some anime trailers from 'Manga.' Then many many years later, I got stationed in Japan (US Navy). Heard this song in a friends car, and I still knew the lyrics.
seriously, almost every zilch song was a cover or a redone version of an older X-japan or hide song. ( well, on their first album at least, their second album sucked since hide had been dead for quite some time then )
I listened to this looked up the comments found out about whats up mr. jones listened to that and found out its made by zilch. Hide the lead guitarist of X Japan, Made the band Zilch after X japan Broke up. so both whats up mr. jones and drain are made by hide but drain was made first... he's the singer/guitarist of zilch and was the X Japan Lead Guitarist? backing vocals......wow I found this out 5 minutes ago....
@Ryuoshi1 I think I know what you're talking about. "Caged Drain" is just "Drain" but the very beginning starts with the music-box from Dir en Grey's "Cage". That's all it is. :3
Wow, didnt now that. I guess the hundreds of drain songs by x on limewire that say X Japan and Dir en grey sing this song are false. Figures. Well thanks for the info. Do you know if X Japan ever sang with Eggs and Bacon are fundavo. Cuase i have a song that has toshi's voice in it in japanese that says it was made by bacon and eggs are fundavo. Its called God Bless then some squegely symbols.
Okay, I'm having a VERY hard time believeing that this is an X-Japan PV. It's just...too odd. None of the members are even in it, and what's with those minotaur creatures?
The hide composed songs always sound VERY different than the Yoshiki. hide seemed to love the industrial sound, while Yoshiki loved a more classical music sound. Taiji did Desperate Angel and a few other songs, and those sound different than all the songs. They all worked on at least a few songs. Yoshiki just did the majority of them. They are all amazing though. No such thing as too diverse of a song lineup :)
