DIR EN GREY BEATS ARCTIC MONKEYS BUZZ?

Japanese heavy rock outfit Dir En Grey has caused quite a stir in Austin, New York and Los Angeles. All gigs on their brief U.S. tour in advance of their new album, Withering To Death, which is set for a May 16th release, have sold-out. The filled-to-capacity shows are the first the band has played in America, an impressive feat considering the lack of airplay, advertising and promotion. The band writes songs both in Japanese and English and guitarist Karu, with drummer Shinya by his side, talked about their powerful stage show and connecting with an American audience.

Fuck the artic monkeys.

[mmmmmpie]

This is completely false, I would doubt that they ever even read the book, let alone they -all- 'loved' it. All considering, the book is actually called 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'... -with an A-

I like both Monkeys and Diru but Diru is way better hands down

[TheScam117]

@azzathenolifeking Yeah he can make any noise, except the sound of a good singer. No talent.

@Traitess

[ItaNaruFanGirl]

DIR EN GREY !!!!!

[Traitess]

@azzathenolifeking Huh rap? Yes Dir en grey are far more talented than Arctic monkeys. The thought of even comparing the two is beginning to confuse me.

I don't really get how this has anything to do with arctic monkeys, but I'm with arctic monkeys all the way!! I haven't heard this new bands music but it's cool to hear new tunes:)

@TheScam117 haha you fucking idiot Dir en grey is nothing but pure talent I ask you this question? do you know of any vocalist who can scream, sing, rap and make inhuman noises, he can basicly do any kind of vocal. So shut your fucking face and fuck off, and i can tell you have zero appreciation for any other culture. Fucking faggot.

P.s. and i can't remeber Diru being emo fucking sterotyping cunt face.

lol you artic monkey fans are getting all asshurt for no reason. they arent just your average scene/emo band or else they wouldnt have come as far as they have even in america. so dont be ignorant. dir en grey is one of the most powerful bands out there. and just because you know nothing about them and had your little egos shattered because of the title. its makes people upset when you say stupid insensitive things about there music. i dont really know the artic monkeys so i cant say anything...

@blizzared2 but their lyrics are always about the same stuff, arctic monkeys sing about much more original things, not about the average teenagers suicide wishes : /

they dont always sing about happy stuff, and im far from calling screaming easy cause i listen to a lot of metal and stuff but still arctic monkeys are more original in vocals and in arrangements. and if you think theyre not popoular, go watch the video of brianstorm, one of their singles. it has like 20 million views or so ;)
