The fact that this piano solo is improvised every time this song is played just blows my mind. One of the greatest, and most underrated rock songs/ballads ever recorded.
Not a fan of visual kei, I'm a metalhead but this song kicked me in the balls, I love progressive stuff, like Dream Theater or Symphony x Opeth, Tool etc
@rooock4ever X is the first band made me loving music / band sound until now, now i am a IDM fans, for example Aphex twin, Squarepusher, Flashbulb...etc, however, X is always in my heart, X changed my life. by the way, R.I.P. taiji & hide~~~
I still can't get over how amazing this band is and how unfortunate it was that I was too young to have been even able to see them when they were together. But I love them all the same and am glad that I was able to discover them now.
@dejesussaves Hopefully if things go the way Yoshiki says they will, we will see the remaining members come back to American to play in the next couple of years. It won't be the same without hide and Taiji, but I believe they will show people what music should be like.
Mis respetos, llegó en el momento justo y me sentí completamente identificada con ella, en cierta manera me ayudo a superar lo que pasaba y puedo decir que ya voy por la ultima parte de la letra de esta canción. Art of Life <3 We Are X.
the 1 guy in the crowd got lucky and was featured in the live performance by screaming YOOOOSHHHIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIand the girl at 1:31 with her frantic fan girl scream YOSHIKI!!!!!!!
How in Hell do these guys do it over and over again? They are the most amazing musicians I have ever heard. I love them..... I can't get enough...... they are the absolutely the best, ever was, ever will be!
has to be 1 of the most beautiful tracks in music history yet is soo underrated this should honestly sell more copies than the black album but i guess the rest of the world is to busy with garbage ass fake ass pop music cant see the real talent in the world cough cough x japan
@MeinKomponist thanks man its so true though iam a black guy and i love this music over anything else in my life because i can relate to the pain of every x japan ballad because i too have went threw hard times in life like when my lil sister passed away there music is what enables me take wake up everyday and not have this feeling of depression they are the reason iam still alive today i would have been dead 5 years ago if it was not for global metal opening my eyes to there beautiful music
@GEO2DOPE Good luck and all the best for you, i know how you feel about their music, the last 5 years were very hard for me too because i fell ill but their music and the spirit of it was always important for me and helped me a lot.
@MeinKomponist thanks for the kind words man and thats rough well iam glad to know that your here still my friend at least we can say we were true X japan fans before they even made a break for america WE ARE X
A fucking crazy great song , mother fucker XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
the part where there is supposed to be two pianist playing, is he just playing whatever part he wants and letting the background music play the rest or did he somehow able to record the main riff and play off the other parts?
This is such a masterpiece! I gave the CD to my voice teacher when I leave the US, but I won't regret it! Now he knows who X Japan is! I will buy the new CD again :-)
