[Culverin]

omg omg omg.

if it wasn't for this thread.
i would not have known....

tickets boughted. Bought them without even looking at the date.

It was like... 40 bucks, group seating for cheap in the ewww, balcony...
or
$140 for center orchestra
Like that's such a hard decision to make.

:D:D:D

[Culverin]

can't find tickets to the seattle show.
doesn't seem to be on ticketmaster.ca

got a link?

[Tim Budong]

check ticketmaster.com
i got my seattle tix as well

[dachinesedude]

i hope they play many of their old songs like kurenai, silent jealousy, endless rain, tears, and X

i need to hear these songs!!!

[Tim Budong]

they will play these..but if you follow the band..you will know this setlist for NA show will be similar to the lollapolooza show

anyways, im fucking excited

there will be some sort of X meet up, will keep posted..

[truth]

row 8 centre! can't fucking wait! going to the uproar fest the week before, gonna be a great week.

RS meet hahah

[dachinesedude]

setlist for NA show will be similar to the lollapolooza show

[Culverin]

Somebody have access to their lollapolooza setlist?

[Tim Budong]

Rusty Nail
Jade
Kurenai
I.V.
X
Tears (SE)

these shows should be longer on the uS tour

[ae101]

i think im gonna just buy them at ticket master don't wanna wait for them in the mail

[svelt]

^ only 6 songs?

Ticket prices are as cheap as $40 for balcony which isn't that bad at QE theater, so even a very casual fan should take advantage. I doubt they will be back for a very long time, if ever.

[Tim Budong]

That was the 45min set at lolla I expect a bigger show here

[triplexcel]

woo just bought tickets row 15 center!!

they better play more than those 6 songs lol. X!

[ilubebe]

Isn't it Hide? Hyde is from L'arc~en~ciel O.o?

[Culverin]

Hide passed away, that's the primary reason why they broke up so many years ago.

[Tim Budong]

It's hide yes not Hyde I saw vamps last year in Seattle lol
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[dachinesedude]

[Tim Budong]

theres a small rumor goin around on that "special guest" slot for X
there is a band...in which hide discovered in the late 80s..and well one of the guitarists is playing for X as well..

if this were true, this will be the best concert I've been to..or will go to

[Greenstoner]

concert starts at 730, but what time do you think x japan will come out? i really wanna skip the vampires, not interested whatsoever

[Inaii]

sooo excited!! will have crappy seats, but eh, it's X!! :D I'm guessing vampires will have a half hour set (never heard of them before), then X will come on around 8:30-9ish? Just my guess :)

[Tim Budong]

Vampires NOWHERE...bwahah on stage around 8pm

X on at 9pm

[Inaii]

oooh I was close! Are you bringing Yoshikitty with you Will?

[triplexcel]

WE ARE X!!

[triplexcel]

Concert was freaking awesome. My voice is gone, and so is my hearing as well lol. Kinda wished the audience was more into it though. It was definitely noticeable to see which fan was a true X fan and one that was just there to check them out. The true fans were jumping around and head banging while the others were just standing lol.. I really hope they come back to vancouver again.

ps. sugizo guitar and violin skills are fukin amazing. it sent chills down my spine.

[Inaii]

Not necessarily the case. I'm a huge fan and at times I was just standing (mainly because I was light-headed from screaming). Amazing concert, so glad I went :D

Still floating from the concert, was great to be a part of X history :D like everyone else, I hope they come back soon :) next time I'm getting closer seats!

[ForbiddenX]

Awesome pics darthchilli! I've never heard of X before but I listened to some of their music when I first saw this thread and they sounds pretty awesome. Right up my alley for music too.

[f00tzilla]

the show was awesomenessssss had pretty good seats too

[Tim Budong]

Toshi literally poured 3/4 of a bottle of water on my head during FOREVER LOVE SE..

http://bit.ly/aPCKpL

[Culverin]

Freaking epic concert. I don't think I've ever been so psyched up.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think they'd come to play in Vancouver.

4th row, dead center.
I was really surprised when Toshi started hosing us all down. :D
He's definitely got his voice back.

And yeah, I've got Yoshiki's water bottle.
I wasn't even paying attention until the last moment.
Went straight through the first 3 rows and almost hit me in the chest. :)


Wanted to hear dahlia as well.
Ooops, I guess I have to fly to japan now. hahahahahaha



On a serious note.
Pata doesn't look so good. I know he's thin, but he actually looks terminally ill :(
Rumor has it that Yoshiki had to twist some of their arms to do this tour.

I kind of got the feeling last night that this will be their last tour outside of japan. period.


I NEED to see them live in japan.

[Tim Budong]

Fucking amazing show is right! I'm so glad I got to witness the show first hand! It was truely dream of 15+ years coming true

I'm like 2 feet off the frame of that picture. Hahahahaha
Use X fanatics were all sitting so close to each other!


On a side note:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi8hTqQweiI&feature=related
MY GOD, look at the size of that crowd!!!


I think I've made up my mind.
I'm now intent on seeing them live in Japan and I've got 2 ideas how we can pull this off.



Find ourselves a HUGE crowd, like 40 people, contact their management and say we want to bring a bus load of Canadians and make a pilgrimage and see X Japan live.
If they crowd we can gather makes them think it ridiculous enough we might be able to get their assistance.
They would know of any shows before even announced, they could make the ticket arrangements, and gasp, perhaps even backstage passes?
Find a Japanese tour company to the down and dirty the legwork for us. This is probably the more probable of the 2 scenarios, but significantly less fruitful. Their Japanese-landed counterparts would have to camp out for tickets, and there would be no guarantee they would get them.


So that's my plan. I'm already at myself and 1 other friend. That makes 2 of us.


I freaking wish I had this idea while I was at the concert, then I would have a crowd ripe for signing up for this ridiculous pilgrimage.


Come on guys, I may not have money to burn, but I'm willing to do this.

Tried it. X shows sell out like quick. BUT all hope is NOT lost....because, X does do tour packages to take fans to concerts. there are reserved seats for international ticket buyers at every X show since reunion in JAPAN.

So its great! everything is planned, just when is the next world tour

[Culverin]

Oh wow. Tour package is baller :D

Woot, all planned :)

Don't you mean when they do another domestic show?
I'm betting something by Christmas, but I'm willing to wait until next year's new album launch.

[Tim Budong]

Well, here are the 2011 plans, sorry to bring back old thread, but come on..its X Japan, they pop in and out of the news!

http://ax3battery.com/2011/01/28/x-japan-and-emi-music-announce-north-american-partnership/

[Culverin]

Bleh. I'm still waiting for the new album to drop.


Just to mix things up a little... came across these babies in my internet travels today.


X Japan - X chiptune arrangement - YouTube




X Japan Art of Life 8-bit - YouTube



I'm assuming a couple big Japan dates after the album launch.
Are we in for a group trip?

[Tim Budong]

SummerSonic shows were CRAP

but they sold out in europe and in south america. didnt sell out every single SE Asia tour tho, but those shows were in large arenas. Shanghai kicked off tour and X ended it in Bangkok

Every show on the SE Asia tour got a piano solo catering to the culture. Shanghai got FayeWong's Eyes on Me (ff8 theme)
HK got a oldschool cultural folk song

dont know about other countries

HongKong got to celebrate Pata's bday, like they did with Heath in 09.

Expect plans to be announced in March, Yoshiki is doing some fashion events..like TokyoGirls again.

[Culverin]

Guy has way too much stuff on the go. It's weird, I don't get the impression he's selling out, but sometimes, it feels that way doesn't it?

[Tim Budong]

Yoshiki
Will always have too much on his plate
I just hope that the EMI deal will actually force the band to release material on a timely matter

The entire back catalog is suppose to be released...hasn't happened

Last Live was re-released recently in Japan as a limited edition box set....i bought it...costs me an arm n leg. Contains some re-edits to the show itself. What boggles my mind is why not REMASTER the damn thing for BLURAY.

Last Live has infact already been remastered on to HD format as it has aired on WOWOW in Japan already.

Dhalia 95 Final limited edition box is set to release in december
