what i heard is that silver isn't banned - the government just discourages it...please don't fight! i am asian chinese(but i havent been to china)...i believe, if we show silver our support there's a greater chance of them becoming really successful...imagine if their fans don't buy their cds, they have no proof that they are achieving something, the goverment has more chance to go against them ^^;
demise? *laugh* no sir, silver ash is pretty much alive. in fact they're making a comeback right now. if you could read chinese i suggest visiting the vocallist's blog. blog[dot]sina[dot]com[dot]cn/lingroom...in fact, on 13th april ling posts that they have to postpone a show. ^^ they're active in china. the government may not support them but they have not died! :D
speaking of ling's blog, i just happened to read it yesterday.. love his new photos with the white trenchcoat.. well, i used the wrong word "demise" .. i was referring to the fact that SA were no longer producing heavy songs as before and changing themselves into something like the typical chinese pop bands you'd find on the mainstream such as Mayday, FIR, etc... i describe this change as the "demise" of silver ash.. perhaps "change of style" would have been more appropriate. Thx for responding
ling doesn't even need makeup to look pretty! and he has a really sweet voice! actually i haven't heard their newest songs yet...my favourites were from when lucy(one of the first guitarists) was around, but i like the newer song never end too. no offence to any mayday/FIR fans but i think silver still pwns them, even if silver does pop *haha*
Okay I would just like to state why the hell fight over something that means nothing. They put out amazing music isn't that enough for you guys. They try their hardest to make people like them.. they do good. They are a good band. So just grow up and leave at that.
Well first of all, Dir En Grey doesn't own the whole Vkei scene, knowing that you do in fact love Dir En Grey and love to support them more than An Cafe (I for one, is a fan of both). And each language, let alone band(or person), has their own way of expressing rock(or music) and this is their own way. Besides, by just watching this video only, is useless on judgement by one look And also, just because they don't look it doesn't mean they're not. Compare alice nine to dir en grey.
this band wasnt influenced by dir en grey they was influenced by luna sea,malice mizer and x japan and a little bit of dimmu borgir so they didnt copied dir en grey.silver ash is a good band and they make very great music.this band isnt a visual band no more but they still make good music
i don't know why people just believe stuff from the internet. i just visited china. i found Silver Ash album on the shelf in music store in Shanghai. it's NOT BANNED. stop this bullshit about the government. plus, there is a VCD with the album showing them playing in multiple shows in China. so i have no idea where this crap is coming from. i guess some people just hate the government and make up BULLSHIT.
I think it's just rumors. They kinda disbanded a while ago, but that's probably why people have started hearing things about being banned. But I believe that they are working on a side project, possibly. A band that IS banned in fact, is Pangu. Due to their songs having criticism towards the communism of the government. ( i hope that helped support your comment D: )
i think it's because of communsim and te fact that mostasian parnts and grown ups hav lived a strict life of "NO ROCK MUSIC!!!! JUST POP!!! AND UR COUNTRY'S TRADITIONAL MUSIC!!!!" sucks though T.T I was beginning to wonder...my dad is such pefect example of that time...
there is NO BAN on rock music. you can buy them in stores. i have tons of Chinese rock/metal music. when i was in China just recently, i visited many guitar stores in different cities. there are hundreds and thousands of guitars for sale. there is obviously a huge demand for band equipments. get your fact right.
It might not neccessarily be the case for either of those justifications. It could be that children are encouraged against listening to rock because the parents are so bent on what they grew up with, possibly. I know that's the case with my parents. XD
Anyway, just a random comment. No attention need be paid.
All this time I've been wondering why there's no rock in my home country and finally decided to do a little research :/ I can't believe Silver Ash is banned. All that Chinese pop is really making me annoyed > > You can hardly call that music.
Thanks :D Although, any suggestions? 8D Such as sites and names. so far I've only checked out wikipedia, and most of those bands have little or no information, disbanded, etc.
They really have been baned in china....but latest tales say they have found a label in japan...they`re really hated in china `cause of their lyrics....but be patient...Silver Ash will be back soon
China's government doesn't like the fact that Silver Ash's music and lyrics are angry, despairing, and everything that rock is. They want music that is happy, and promotes harmony and that kind of stuff. Many of the people hate them because they are in that same mindset of the gov, but also many people love them...mainly younger gen, which can't do much about them getting banned.
No. Hong Kong is self-governing for the time being. But the music and culture of HK is pretty goodie-goodie (of their own making, not forced by CCP). Practically no rock at all, if any. Only pop which is gets pretty lame and boring after a while.
Um, are you sure they are banned from Beijing? Do you have a citation? I couldn't find one anywhere, which is actually good news.
I know they're on hiatus right now, but Ling is still dedicated to the band and keeping it from being defunct.
And you can't get their CDs anymore, probably because they have stopped producing more copies, since the band still doesn't have an official label yet, last that I heard. :/
@acataleptic At one point, They were banned from making music in China. The Chinese government demanded they breakup from making Visual Kei music. Then, about a year or two later, after Silver Ash began working on a Pop project called TOYS I believe? Something like that, the Chinese government changed their decision and allowed Silver Ash to be Silver Ash and make VK music. Silver Ash has gone through a lot, really. It's insane. lol
@jpeople I guess you forgot to mention Nancy and Bai Niao. I think that Beijing banned them because chinese still hate japanese for taking Manchuria 80 years ago. And since these guys tried something japanese, they got hated. Anyway the only two members of the band that stayed from the beginning till the end in the band were Ling and Zheng. And I thought Malice Mizer changed their members regularly.
@jpeople Anyway there was a VK band who was made in 93 if I'm not wrong and there were like 15-20 members in the band since then and only one of them is still in the band. Now they sorta look oshare kei and stuff. I forgot it's name.
did you go to the hospital in Hong Kong, or Beijing? soo... you know Chinese too?? oh yeah, great song. I'd like the translation to the whole song, though.

The third time I visited,it was the same as America.
How I wish there would be bands,China would do a great job with VK and such considering how many people live in such a big country.
