for the PV

and fuck..i cant wait..
gonna see if my buddy from Japan can score tickets
long shot..but if they do...im fucking there

March 28th, 2008 Tokyo Dome

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

soo excited

damnit.. if they only came to canada that would be dope.

the best

no hide =(

Not entirely correct.

The song was written around a previously unreleased guitar track recorded by Hide before he died.

Man, X-Japan...one of the best, if not the best power ballad rock bands in history.

dang.. X Japan !! i haven't heard that group in years !

X Japan is legendary
so powerful..and i have to say...RARE that a band from its time, made such an effort to break out into North America

They have achieved the exposure they want around the world through power rock ballads, some very speedy thrash metal and some amazing instrumental work.

hide may not be the best guitarist in the world, but he glorified the lead guitar in Japan, which is why he is sooo big.

I dont kno what they will do to fill the big shoes. I can only think of one guy, only becuz he is close with X, and thats Sugizo from LUNA SEA.

anyways yea...the new song is good, i guess it sorta appeals to the international market more..now that its all in english..

btw...
www.myspace.com/xjapan2008

has a full 15min interview with yoshiki talkin bout everything..in english

his english..a little "broken" but he knos his vocabulary well hahaha

Yoshiki is one of the most creative musicians in the world.

Sugizo is already confirmed to be Hide's stand-in for the reunion.

Hide is definitely not the greatest guitarist ever but neither was Kurt Cobain. Hide is the Kurt Cobain of Japan in terms of influence he had on the rock world.

well said
hide definatly wasnt the greatest, pata was much better. its one thing to be great, its another to redefine a whole generation of music

+1 for Ronin

hahah hide and sugizo did look alike when they both had pink hair.

Niiiiiiiiiiice!!

WES BORLAND former LimpBizkit and now Black LIGHT Burns..

this is fucking crazy now.....
of all ppl..
Wes..
Very experimental..has alot of potential to become even greater than he is now!
:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::h aha:

Im all giddy like a child

Wow, sounds like a sweet show. Wes Borland was like...the only talent in Limp Bizkit.

It was already a sure thing that Sugizo was going to fill in for Hide.

holyshit..
yoshiki collapsed in the middle of Art of Life..and the rest of the show was cancelled..
they only had Sugizo play 2nite..

Wow...that sucks. Although it isn't really surprising. I mean, Yoshiki has some health problems, really and hasn't really performed at this scale for years. He used to get super dehydrated after X-Japan shows.

but damn
they played art of life
that one live performance was SOOO EPIC

Is it on YouTube anywhere? I can't find anything good.

it is
the first ink that comes up
click on that guys user name
and he has the whole show form teh telecast

I think I found it but the account's gone.

Guess I'll have to wait to buy it on DVD or something.

the HD rip of te show is on the net
close to 2gb
very clear and awesome quality

ive been readin the reviews for the shows on the 29th/30th
apparrently..Yoshiki was hospitalized right after the last show..anyone confirm??

and i saw some clips of the 29th/30th show was well
those two..BLOW EVERY SINGLE X Japan show outta the water in terms of effort
all for hide

i want to...galskaflsdkfjas
stupid friends...

March29th,2008

the MOST electrifying and emotional performance of X I have every seen..and i have seen ALL the concerts that are widely avaliable to the public...

Wes Borland and Richard Fortus had a blast..
Wes Borland said its an honor to play with X

I think X moved up the epic scale on world music in that ONE weekend with the effort

WE ARE X

join my Vancouver X Japan Group on facebook

and lets see if we can gather a trip to japan in May to attend the hide memorial festival

feat.

X Japan
Luna Sea
Miyavi
Dir En Grey
Alice NINE

rumored

Black Light Burns
L'arc en Ciel
Heath Solo Project

Apparently, it will be alot of international and local bands who want to honor hide in this 2day even

X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
28.03.08 show is up on youtube..i am still waiting for the 29.03.08, and the 30.03.08 one....best band ever...

problem is, toshi is not performing well on the first day, and also, yoshiki's timing was kinda off in some songs...and oh yeah, sugizo made silent jealousy sound a bit funny by overdoing the virato...

anyhow, i dont give a shit, X-JAPAN 4 EVER!!!!!
