Dir en grey

[Saishu]

It's just Yoshiki, Gackt, Miyavi, and Sugizo.

[dakkii]

but they need a bassiiiiiiiiiist *whines* i was thinking kisaki for a while but i have no clue... it would be LAME if they didn't have a bassist...

i don't THINK they're coing out with a new single... i was just wishing they would T_T *sadness*

[MYV_ANCafe_Lover]

i hope they release something new. I dont want tmoab to be their last album.
it was good but...ahh i want more diru ><

And yes dakkii it would be extremely lame if they dont get a bassist.

[Amita]

I hope they release another song like Conceived Sorrow or the Pledge! I really like those songs...

[andie]

i dont think he would leave diru i mean they are soo huge why leave now,that would me suicide

[BlackSoul]

I don't think that Toshiya would leave Dir en Grey ever!!!
They are together now for 10 years in the same line-up and I think that they have a strong connection between them!!!

I don't think either that he will join that super band. Of course he's a fantastic bassist and he would be very good for that band, but in my opinion he doesn't really fit to this band, especially to Gackt and Miyavi. But you never know and it would be his descision!! But I really doubt it.

[Saishu]

Oh, well I figured maybe, like, Gackt or Sugizo could play bass.

I dunno.

[Michiko-kitsune]

If anyone here didn't see the Yoshiki interview on JaME from the second night of JRock Rev, he said himself that they haven't made any decisions on a bassist yet. Deep breaths, people. XD

[semi~sweet]

yes it probably only a rumer, toshiya belongs in dir en grey i mean without him i doubt it would be the same even if diru didnt break up afterwards and got a new bassist.

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

I really hope Toshiya isn't sucked into Yoshiki's band >__<

He's meant for dir en grey and no other band!!

The way he plays bass can only be played in Dir en grey
with Kaoru and die's guitaring, shinya's druming and kyo's amazing voice combined ;o;

we'll just have to wait and see if its true or not...

[Saishu]

People, people, you should also take into consideration that musicians can participate in more than one project without leaving their original band. If Toshiya does end up playing with SKIN, it doesn't mean he's left Dir en grey.

[dakkii]

^yesss!!! TOSHIYA. ISN'T. LEAVING. @_@ *speculation nearly caused a mass-suicide, there* i was just *guessing* in my own little head that he would be a guest in SKIN... but that means like meeting up for a week to record for them and that's IT. and that's dakkii's head. *breathes in and out* okie all better >_>

so anyone in europe, how did the kick-off of the diru tour go? (did it kick off yet? O_O dunno...) i need a detailed description of die's hair XD *kidding... but one would be nice* XD

[Saishu]

I don't think the European tour started yet. They're just about to start touring with the Deftones if they haven't started already.

[dakkii]

yea i thought so but some of my friends were talking like it had O_o thank you for clearing that up!

[Precious4e]

They'll be touring the states again starting tomorrow!
i'll be going to see them on saturday...woo hoo! I would have went to their friday show also if I didn't have work >= (
well...at least it makes up for missing JRev

and about Toshiya and SKIN......yea I can't see Toshiya as part of that band...he doesn't seem to fit lol. Or maybe it's because all the Diru members just seem so perfect together that it's weird to picture them anywhere else. Who knows......I think Yoshiki wants to tour the US soon with his new band so maybe i'll get a chance to see them in action

[dakkii]

LUCKY PRECIOUS4E!!! i can't go... i'm in japan when they come near me XD irony~

[Precious4e]

^aW that does suck

for their deftones tour though there hasn't been much hype/excitement about it. I haven't really heard much forum goers talking about it....they were probably too busy thinking about JRev

[dakkii]

i know a bunch of people talking about it >_> but i also know a ton of people who are sitting this one out, but i think it's important to go and cheer diru on especially when they're most likely not going to get a bunch of fans there... so dakkii points for precious4e!!

[ChildPrey]

so anyone in europe, how did the kick-off of the diru tour go? (did it kick off yet? O_O dunno...) i need a detailed description of die's hair XD *kidding... but one would be nice* XD

I think the European tour starts in the end of July/beginning of August. They'll play in Sweden on August 7th..

[Michiko-kitsune]

Yeah, I think a lot of people are deeming it "not worth it" as Diru is just an opening band. Well, if that's the way some people see it, that's fine and all, but to me it's not much different in the end. Hey, still get to see them play, right? Even if it is for shorter and it's not really "all about them" that night.

I'll be seeing them on the 17th, and I'm pretty excited, whether or not others are. : D

[Precious4e]

^ yea..but it's like the same thing as FVT. They will probably play for around the same time. Maybe a little shorter but I doubt it'll be that short of a set. Diru is my favorite band so whenever they come my way i'm going to see them lol.

[Michiko-kitsune]

Oh, I know their set will be shorter...but even like at JRR, the first night, nearly every band had only around a 5 song set, and even though I of course wanted more, it was still a satisfying amount for me. XD

[andie]

i hope that their tour with deftones would showcase more of dir en grey

[nekkyo]

Hi! Ok, I'm guilty, I disappeared for a long time... so hi to old friends and hi to new ones! ^_^;;;

So I can't go to the NYC shows because I'm stuck working 40 hours in 3 days that weekend. However, I arranged to have Thursday off, so I get to see them in Worcester. ^_________^ Anyone else going to that show? Want to meet up? I'm stuck going by my lonely self since all my friends went home for vacation. There's a chance I'll only stick around 'til the end of the Diru part of the show and then take off. I don't know anything about deftones or the other bands, so ehh. Well, PM me if you want to meet up.

[HitsugiMad4eva]

1.Shinya
2.die
3.kyo

Dont Like The Rest lol

[semi~sweet]

you dont like toshiya or kaoru??? i love them all, oh well thats you opinion.

[MYV_ANCafe_Lover]

i like them all but for some reason I dont like kaoru much..I dont know what it is, i just dont like him as much as I like the others :S

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

Dir en grey is good music for cleaning :D *random*

Anyways~

Good luck to everyone going to the NYC show <3

[Amita]

^LMAO i found it very good to listen to when doing History class (music history....even worst!)

[Precious4e]

The setlist for the RI show that Diru played last night is said to be:

1. Concieved Sorrow
2. Ryoujoku no Ame
3. The Pledge
4. The Final
5. Lie Buried With A Vengeance
6. Rotting Root
7. Repitition of Hatred
8. Grief
9. Agitated Sreams of Maggots
10. Namamekashiki
11. Dead Tree


I can't believe how many songs they are playing!! I'm so excited now

and Die also has long blonde hair now.....I miss the redness but oh wells.

[Bloopie]

^ -shocked- Seriously?
-sigh- I'll miss his red hair. Just imagining him with blonde hair looks... a bit awkward.

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

OMG!! he has blonde hair *__*

I wanna see, it probly looks so beautiful

[Michiko-kitsune]

If the setlist is indeed true (I heard about it as well elsewhere today on Intarnetzland), then I am very happy. Much better than the 5 or so songs I was originally thinking it would be.

[nekkyo]

If you're going to any of their shows on this tour, beware of Deftones fans... they're vicious, cruel, rude, dishonest, stupid, and trollish. (ok, there might be a few nice fans, but if you're at the front of the pit, do take care.)

I've been to plenty of concerts, so this isn't just a wimp writing complaints. Seriously, I was yelling that I felt sick and wanted to get out of the pit. And people just stood there or pushed against me even more. I couldn't get out of the pit until one of the staff pulled me up and out. I can further complain about the fans, but ehh, concerts often are rough. Just that part about being sick and not being let out upset me. What happened to humanity?

On a brighter note, Diru's performance was the average usual. Don't ask me about the set since I'm so bad at remembering which songs exactly they played. It doesn't help that I've been listening to a lot of their music lately, and I'm easily confused. -_-; No blood sadly. Kyo did wrap his left arm behind his back and scratched at his side. That was actually pretty hot... ^_^; I thought he was going to scratch himself to the point of bleeding, but I didn't see any blood. Later on, however, I did notice he had fairly bright red scratch marks. Gah, I really suck at descriptions... sorry guys. I really did appreciate their performance though. I kind of wished this was their own tour.

Well, I'm sore, nauseous, scratched, tired, and out. G'night!

[Precious4e]

^ Aw hope you are feeling better

hearing that makes me not want to go into the pit. I'm too old and fragile for that BS. I was thinking about going early to try to get a good spot....but now I might just go shopping with my friends and then go to the concert lol.

I think i'll just enjoy the show from a comfy spot,get out of the stage area after Diru's set,look at some Diru merch (if they have) and then go home.


oh quick question....was Diru the first or second opening act. I'm thinking they were the second but i want to make sure in case im gonna go a little before the show and I end up on the back of the line. I got the sold out night so i'm worried about the crowds.

[Michiko-kitsune]

Wow, that's too bad that the Deftone fans seemed a little..."over-the-top"...I was wondering how they'd be, or react in general to the Diru fans present, so thanks for sharing your experience with it. Well, there's no telling; it may be different at other shows, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[nekkyo]

Fall of Troy played first for about 45 min I think. Then Diru. I might be wrong, but I think they played ~1 hour. ^__________^ Or at least it seemed like it. I bought merch after Diru played and took off. Shirts are $30. There are 3 shirts, all new (not from other tours). There was also WTD and Marrow of a Bone, and I think they were about $15 each or maybe $20. Postcards $1, but only one kind. Vinyl sticker that says Dir en Grey, all caps I think in white for $9. They also had two of those drumhead things for $75 each. One was black, the other was clear. They were NOT autographed though, so I didn't think it was worth buying one. Take cash. ^_^; And definitely, if you feel you're getting old (i.e. older than the average age of 16-18 I think) or you've seen them already up close before, you'll probably enjoy the show more outside the pit. Try going for an elevated spot and get a good view. ^_^ Good luck and enjoy the show!

[Precious4e]

^ thanks! man now I need to stop by the ATM. I always get a shirt at their shows....but now that they have some other stuff i'll have to bring extra money. I think i'll try to be in the front row on the second level or something. If not i'll stand in the back of the pit. During inward scream i was first row second level and had a great view of the whole stage.

[nekkyo]

Yeah, that's the way to go. Get there early enough just to get a good view of the stage, but late enough to not get crushed. ^_^;

Oh yeah, John from the merch stand said that Die mentioned he was going to put one of those vinyl stickers on his guitar for tonight's show. Let me know if he does!

[HitsugiMad4eva]

My Mate Sam is obsessed With dir en greys song agitated screams of maggots
:okashii:

[Bloodlust]

Some how I knew the Deftones fans would be boogers. Thanks for letting us know. I'm actually the muscle tomorrow! But my friend knows the ballroom, so we might be OK. I don't think Canadian health coverage does me much good over here, so pit brawls are out. *sigh* I'm too old for this BS too. Anybody sees a short chubby girl with white eyes and a big tattoo across her chest, hanging out with a tall skinny dude who looks way uncomfortable in his outfit, come say hi. I think the Diru fans should stick together! Bloody rude Deftones clones.

[MYV_ANCafe_Lover]

Die's hair is blonde o.o?
That's...strange.

Dang, i so wish I could go see Diru live even if theyre just an opening act.

Good luck to all those who are going~

[Amita]

WAHHHHHH NOW I REALLY WANT TO GOOOOOOOOO


Die with blonde hair.....OMG I WANT TO SEEEEEEE


-random-

Does anyone know if there will be a band score book for The Marrow of a Bone???

[dakkii]

@hitsugimad4eva- i'm guessing you don't like ASOM then? XD i personally love it... CS kind of threw me off at first (later grew to adore it), but i loved ASOM from the start ^_^ usually it was the other way around...

DIE BLONDE?!?! @_@ post pictures the SECOND they come out, people!!! i have a huge soft spot for blondes, but on die... if it looks mildly ok, i will be overjoyed, but... the red! O_O THAT'S YOUR THING, DIE!! it's like diru's one link to the past...

i like how they basically just played MOAB straight up XD that's so cool that there are so many songs!!! *looking into going again* but i need a pit ticket for the SF show... anyone selling one? i'm def. not going if i can't get pit... i lurf me my pit! i'm really headbangy-intense at concerts, so people give me my space~

[BlackSoul]

I wish everyone luck and fun, who's going to a concert!!!!!
OMG!!!!!! THEY'RE PLAYING DEAD TREE!!!!!!! *coughs*....sry...that is my favourite song ever...I can even play the beginning^^
okay here are some pics of Die with the new, blond hair...actually it's not that blond and it looks somehow good...but I miss the red hair!!!!:(
http://198.173.81.240/forum/index.php?showtopic=5261&st=20

[Amita]

omg.....his hair is so......different!..... I kinda liked the red hair better though :o

[Liquid Fantasy]

His hair suits him. ehe...

[Heroine]

KYOOOOOOO! x____x DIEEEEE!!! x_____x

-coughs-

I'll always miss Die's red and puffy hair. He was the king of puffyness :3 And Kyo... Well, Kyo will always be goodie, independent on any haircuts and make-up styles <3

[dakkii]

^welcome! ^_^

i like kyo's old haircut better than the bob-ish one he has now...

[andie]

fans used to call die RED PIG that he has anorexia because of that
so mean fans

[nekkyo]

This kind of stuff annoys me: http://www.telegram.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20070609%2FNEWS%2F706090353%2F1102# 33854337873839146951

[dakkii]

>_< ug... me too... i'm really pissed off now...

[BlackSoul]

I miss Die's red hair too...maybe he'll dye it back soon^^

that is soo stupid..either you have constructive critizism on a music group referring to their playing or you just shut up and don't write anthying like that.
I liked your comment nekkyo!!! I hate it when people think they have to behave intolerant!!!!

[Liquid Fantasy]

We live in a world where criticism can't be avoided. It's just the way they deliver their criticism that would annoy or hurt people. I didn't like what was said about the two bands. Again, it's the way they talk about something. I don't know...I don't like the WAY it's said.

I agree....I think that saying
"And Dir En Grey is sort of like a Japanese version of Disturbed — clean and bland songs, goofily dramatic lead singer — which is one import we truly do not need."
Is not really necessary. Actually, it's kind of rude. If one is to write a review about a concert, they should take in to consideration that each person is different than another and we all don't act the same. I wonder if the person who wrote it took into consideration how hard each band worked to make the live memorable...

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

OMG... I can't even explain how i feel about that article..
And the fact that they had to COMPARE Dir en Grey.. that really pisses me off... They are definitly not an IMPORT they are one of the best bands ever

That's not Criticism...thats just being rude

[Precious4e]

^ eH....everyone has their own opinions. It's kinda frustrating to hear someone talk bad about the band you like but then again you don't like the band that the author is writing about so it works both ways.

i'm sad that they cut out conceived sorrow and nama
instead they played III D Empire and Merciless Cult

maybe next time i'll get to hear it....I shoulda went to the friday show....

[semi~sweet]

i like die wih red hair better....but i guess he looks alright im just more used to his red hair

[kouji-sama]

I'm so happy they're playing so many songs...would have been worth it to go see them if they had played anywhere near where I live. Alas, I hope you guys had a fun time.

Die + blond hair = ok. Just ok. I'm not swooning with happiness (as I would if he went back to the awesome red hair of the past), but I'm not going to hold hair choices against him.

And the article...mleh. *angry face*

[andie]

i miss die's red hair and i miss kyo's black mane, i think they are both sexier with those mane

[semi~sweet]

ok i just read that artical (haha i was a little slow yesturday) im so pissed off now

[Michiko-kitsune]

Aw, you guys, there's no need to get worked up over the article. Yeah, the wording was a bit annoying, but that's what critics do- they explicitly share an opinion, whether it sounds harsh or not. And it's usually harsh to some degree. Not everyone's gonna absolutely love Diru, and if someone finds them bland and shares it, so be it. Not everyone is going to praise them to high heaven.

It'll be oookay. XD The article was mostly just Deftones pimpage, anyway. It can't be helped if the opening acts were brushed off by the writer, but it happens.

So yeah- can't remember if anyone's mentioned or not, but is anyone else going to the Minneapolis (aka not Minneapolis, actually Maplewood) show? : D

[HitsugiMad4eva]

DAKKII:ASOM is ok its just sam plays it over and over agen in my ear while talking about his girlfriend and I cant take anymore of the song lol i swear if he plays it agen ill take his psp and smash it up

[Bloodlust]

I had a great time at the show. We even stayed for a few of the Deftones songs. My friend said he liked them the first time they came out... when they were Limp Biskit. The eye of the beholder, my friends.

But that article was unecessarily rude. Comparing DEG to Disturbed is ridiculous. The opinion could have been stated without sinking to that level. Says more about the authors writing talent than it does about the bands. Anyone can learn to write pretty, having substance to back it up is the real trick. I liked Kyo's new do, btw.

[Livia_Drusilla]

Hi there (: I'm new here! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~
I'm a big fan of Diru, so I was pleased to find this thread (^o^)/
On August 8th I'm going to my very first Dir en grey koncert, so I'm pretty psyched about that!

[semi~sweet]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/trigunobsessed/VOTEDIRENGREY.jpg

[Livia_Drusilla]

@ semi~sweet
Oh cool! I definitely going to vote! It would also be so nice to win the tickets to Roskilde.. (*o*) Those tickets are so damned expensive (>_<)

[dakkii]

^i voted... MCR is above diru right now >_< poo~

welcome livia!!

hitsugimad- XD that makes sense... i have friends like that too =P

article-ness- yea... i wish it didn't exist, but whatever. there's no way to get around it =/ i guess i could understand not quite comprehending diru live, because they don't focus on technicality live, but emotion... i guess i can't blame him *sigh* though he was really rude and makes me hate deftones even though i haven't heard their music. i know that's bad, but when people from the 'deftones camp' say stuff insulting the things i love, how can i love them? baaaad planning, dude... this was your chance...

i kinda miss die's red... since it was the one thing diru kept from the olden days... i love their recent stuff actually more than their old stuff as a whole, i think, but it was nice to have one throw-back for nostalgia's sake... he'll change it back eventually i think...

i didn't like kyo's hair black... i think it belongs blond too... it compliments him the best that way in my opinion ^_^ though it looked awesome black for drain away...

kyo's new hair=bob XD hmm... don't hate it... just think it's goofily endearing XD i liked it longish and shaved on the sides best... inward scream was just amazing hair days <3

</endvanity>

[Precious4e]

I liked Kyo's new do, btw.
haha me too. Kyo looked great. And he did his sexy dancing alot....along with some weird dancing lol. Toshiya was looking exceptionally well to me too (not that he doesn't look good regularly).

[andie]

haha me too. Kyo looked great. And he did his sexy dancing alot....along with some weird dancing lol. Toshiya was looking exceptionally well to me too (not that he doesn't look good regularly).


i would love to see that:cool:

[HitsugiMad4eva]

Dakkii-My friends Are really annoying Sam always Playing Diru Down one ear Merci playing Linkin park down another joe Feeding Me grapes (actually that part isnt so bad i actually quite like i but im not gonna tell hi, that then he will stop lmao) I Actually said to sam y do u like diru so much He goes Because if Kyo...Hes umm...Cute??? A guy thinks a guy is cute lol what is the newest Diru song anyway :o 10 years they been going i Think have they split up No ok then Dont mind me im only a fool and im in love with shinya and die :P

[Bloodlust]

haha me too. Kyo looked great. And he did his sexy dancing alot....along with some weird dancing lol. Toshiya was looking exceptionally well to me too (not that he doesn't look good regularly).

I loved the weird dancing! The friend I took says Kyo's pretty hot, and he actually liked the music! I'm shocked because of his tastes, not because he likes DEG. I noticed there were a few DEG fans in the audience. I also noticed that my friend and I weren't the only ones to leave when they were done... They are truly the best. Can't wait till they come back.

[dakkii]

@hitsugimad- XD that put a really funny picture in my head of your friends playing guitar right into your ears and the other one stuffing grapes in your mouth XD that's a horrible reason to like diru though... sorry your friends are like that!

diru's most recently written song is LIE BURRIED WITH A VENGEANCE, i think, as they wrote it on the tourbus at FVT. but the most recently released songs are the ones off "The Marrow of a Bone" cd (minus the singles ASOM, CS, and ryoujoku no ame) ^_^

jrockers... can't dance XD it's cute, though. i like kyo's "sexy squiggling around" dance that he does.

@bloodlust- PREACH! yay for converting people! several people who went for deftones also made the switch to diru from what i've heard ^_^ o'm glad. from my *inside info*, Diru's coming back to the states in the winter. CAN'T FOOCHING WAIT! i feeling like i'm living from jrock concert to jrock concert these days... inward scream was the best night of my life, i think

[Precious4e]

^it's what gets us through the days lol.

after the concert i felt kinda down because I had nothing else to look forward to. All I had is work and then waiting to go back to school.

It'll be great if they did come back in the winter. Haha I asked Harry if Diru would be back soon and he said he didn't think so since they came so many times this year already lol. Though he's a sneak sometimes :p But I wonder if I'LL have time to go to any more concerts soon.....

[dakkii]

haha true...

i felt the same after IS... like the dazed "wow... i can die now" feeling XD

a friend of mine's dad was sitting next to Diru in a restaurant while my friend was in line. he asked when they were coming back and they said winter... it sounds WAY soon, but i'll take any scrap of hope i can XD

[andie]

Dir En Grey and Fall of Troy opened the show, neither hitting any sort of stride that left a lasting impression. The frenetic Fall of Troy boasted solid musicianship but lacked a focus to make that playing pay off. And Dir En Grey is sort of like a Japanese version of Disturbed ・clean and bland songs, goofily dramatic lead singer ・which is one import we truly do not need.


did the person who wrote this still lives coz i am having the urge to kill him...i mean that person doesnt even know a single diru song and he doesnt know kyo....i am sorry but kyo is not one dramatic singer he is a passionate one

[semi~sweet]

dakkii- omg what i would give todo be your friends dad..lol they've nbeen coming to america alot they were just here in febuary (and i missed the freakin concert cuz i was poor at the time) and now they'er back so for them to say they are coming back in winter dosnt sound son to me (i hope this time i get to go to the concert omg between L'Arc~en~Ciel new releases and Dir en grey concerts im really going to go poor by the end of this year)

[nekkyo]

I'm already poor. T_T Damn bills and credit card. I'm happy though. I got to see Diru again. ^_^; I'll be poor for Diru any day... seriously, I have not control over it.

[Yo-mi]

a great hello to all in this thread :wave:

dir en grey is one of my favorit band, so i wanted to post in this thread^^
last year i was on a live of them and now i can hardly wait until august, when they are in germany again
i´m so excited :yeahh:

[Riyko]

haha true...

i felt the same after IS... like the dazed "wow... i can die now" feeling XD

a friend of mine's dad was sitting next to Diru in a restaurant while my friend was in line. he asked when they were coming back and they said winter... it sounds WAY soon, but i'll take any scrap of hope i can XD

If they come back in winter it will either be in January or February of next year. After the european shows i'm guessing they'll take some time off and then tour japan at the end of this year anywhere from the end of september - the end of december. I've heard so many different things from people about when diru is coming back, and the answer they've gotten is the same and that is they'll be back in winter, but you can't really confirm it.

[Amita]

Does anyone have any recent pictures of Shinya???????? Is his hair still the same?????????

-random- I played Conceived Sorrow for my piano exams.....my teacher said she was REALLY impressed! ^^

[BlackSoul]

I'm glad everyone enjoyed their concerts!!! and I hope you can go to one soon again^^

@Yo-mi
welcome here, too^^
wait...on which concert are you going...if you say Munich I'll huggle you and bake you a chocolate cake :p

@Amita
I think at the link I posted the last time are also some pics of Shin?!
that's cool with your piano exam...from where did you get the piano sheets??

[a51ts4]

I decided to check these guys out. They're awesome! At first I thought it was ok, but after a couple of days listening to them, the songs wouldn't leave my head!!

[Precious4e]

^ haha it happens. They are really awesome though lol. You should check them out live if the Deftones tour is coming your way. They put on a great show.

[Yo-mi]

@blacksoul
chocolate cake, delicious :bluush:

sorry T_T
but i live in berlin, so the live in dresden are closer
it´s mean, that they don´t come to berlin like last year and 2005
but i´m so happy and excited to see diru again :-)

[Amita]

@Amita
I think at the link I posted the last time are also some pics of Shin?!
that's cool with your piano exam...from where did you get the piano sheets??

I wrote the song out for piano myself ^^ If you's like, I can try writing the music out and I can send it to you :) But it might take a bit cause I've got exams coming up...and I'm really bad writing out music :P

OH! I didn't see Shinya pics!!! I look back then ^0^

[Saishu]

I had a great time at the show. We even stayed for a few of the Deftones songs. My friend said he liked them the first time they came out... when they were Limp Biskit.

He didn't realise that Deftones came out five years BEFORE Limp Bizkit, did he?

[quamp]

I haven't heard much about this band except that they're going to be performing in October in Houston. After reading some of the posts, I'm going to have to order some of their music.

[Bloodlust]

He didn't realise that Deftones came out five years BEFORE Limp Bizkit, did he?

No, he's into club music. I think he was just making a point of the complete lack of originality. Neither one of us are fans of either so...

[dakkii]

welcome to all the new people!!

[Amita]

@amita- concieved sorrow piano solo... i wanna hear that! ^_^ congrats!
ehehehe thanks! I took me so long to get it to sound right! :relief:
I'm going to start writing it onto actual sheet music once I understand how to use the program ^^ So if anyone wants it, it might be done in a few weeks (or more...i'm really slow at these things)

@andie I dun think they'll be releasing a new single anytime soon....I guess their kinda busy touring around....^^ I hope they release atleast one new single before the year is over.....

[HitsugiMad4eva]

[kogetsu]

Seeing Diru at the 2nd August show in London. Anyone else going to that show? :D

[ChildPrey]

I just found out yesterday that my friend who said she might come with me to see diru in stockholm if I payed her ticket don't want to anymore because she says she can't stand the music :/ my hope of being able to go is now down to zero. because she was the one who could've been able to fix a ride down there. my mom will never let me go alone, seeing as she demanded someone over 18 to come with. I'm so sad about this.. I would give anything to go there..

[Fxxr]

Hahaa I don't like Diru so much, but when i heard Marrow of a bone songs, my heart beats very fast and I can say now, that I love Diru's new songs so much. I think that Kyo's voice is better nowadays. I hate Dirus old production :D

Man that SERIOUSLY sucks! My parents would never let me go, even if I went with someone older :( They think that they're all druggies and only other druggies will go to the concert and stuff. It's so lame

@Fxxr hmmm I liked alot of their old songs like CLEVER SLEAZOID and THE III D EMPIRE...........but everyone has a different opinion :P

[Precious4e]

How old are you? 16? I guess if you're confident that you'll be ok with going into the concert by yourself then you can tell your friend to just go to stockholm with you so that your mom thinks she's accompanying you. Then just tell her not to go to the concert and just hang out at the hotel or something lol. (i'm being a bad influence aren't I?)

i've seen some young kids who got dropped off at the show by their parents and then picked up lol. They seriously looked like 14 or something.

[dakkii]

@childprey- i've been in that situation too ;_; it sucks. i'm so sorry!!!

@fxxr- wow it's usually the opposite that's kind of cool!

@amita- CS isn't old :relief: ... IIID Empire isn't that old either XD just the album before last... ^_^ but isokay! i agree <3 i think i like every single diru song...

[Amita]

^well.......they're older than TMOAB.......kinda :P Those were just the first songs that popped into my mind ^^

[Saishu]

Well, Clever Sleazoid is almost two years old so...

Not exactly old, but it's been around a while.

[andie]

i love clever sleazoid it kinda grew on me

[ChildPrey]

yeah, or I'll turn 17 before the concert.. but I found that my mom will let me go as long as I finf a friend to go there with me. And I would actually like the friend to come with too the concert itself too tough. But actually I'll do anything to get anyone to come with me. I would ven pay for their concert ticket.. not for the bus ride tough because that would be too expensive.. but since I found out yesterday that the person who comes with me iin fact doesn't have to be over 18. so I'ma aska all my friends to come with and hopefully I'll manage to convince someone ^-^

men vi knaske inte borde ta upp tråden med våran svenska. haha största delen av personerna här förstår ju inte ^-^

[Istapp]

True true and my computer seem to have it's own mind about swedish letters so english it is!!! =)

[Amita]

O.o I wish I could speak another language................I'm really lost rite now :P

I just ordered The Marrow of a Bone!!!!! I wanted the Limited Edition.....but I don't think that they store I ordered from actually has it :(

[ChildPrey]

@Istapp: Yes I noticed that. lol. mine did that at first too, but then I pressed edit and edited it and vola ^-^

@Amita: lol ^-^ we were only talking about the concert in sweden in august and how the get there etc.
oh congrats on that ^-^ My MOAB cd is my love. I practicually died when I saw it in the store here in Sweden.

[semi~sweet]

haha i got lost to lol i was just like ok and the english went where in this thread lol ok so ooo the limited edition of marrow of a bone i havnt seen that one i should go and buy it cuz im finaly getting a good paycheak this friday.

[Amita]

^I need a paycheck....but my parents wont let me work till next year :(
So I have to dothe impossible and save! I need to save at least 200$ for my friend cause I asked her to buy me a bunch of CDs, DVDs and magazines from Japan and 30$ for my other friend to get TMOAB for me from the shop that I ordered from (I'll be gone when it comes) and I have to save 40$ to get my friend a b-day present...........I'm doomed XD


@ChildPrey hehehe have fun at the concert!!! I want to go to a Dir En grey concert....but when they came everybody was frozen (damn global warming...it only gets cold when Diru comes -_-)


-random- OMG I was at a store and there was a small magazine there and I looked through it and saw Dir En Grey!!!! I went crazyyy!!! When I asked the guy how much it was he's like it's free....I was like NO WAY....BUT SHINYA'S IN IT!!!! I think I really scared the guy :P

[dakkii]

yea x_x i just bought Mirror (despa), THE AVOIDED SUN (lynch.), ~returner~ (gackt), reason for crying (giru), and stacked rubbish (gaz), along with CODE OF THE VULGAR[ISM] and a despa poster and a TON of sexpot revenge clothes... and then i had to pay for half of my crazy dye job, which is another like $60 x_x and now i'm in japan and we haven't even gone shopping yet. JROCK IS SUCH A #$#%^ EXPENSIVE HOBBY!!!! >_<*twitch*

i wanted to get a job over the summer, but with my hair now, i don't think anyone would hire me... *maybe* hot topic would, but i don't think i look scary enough for that XD

if diru comes around on tour again, i'm doomed @_@ *prepairs cardboard box to live in*

[Precious4e]

^ code of vulgarism is worth every penny......5 ugly is even more worth it. I'm debating whether or not to get It Withers and Withers....I really want a more recent DVDs of theirs. Gosh if only a knot were international I could have gotten Despair in the Womb.

luckily I work....my hobbies are food, clothes, JRock, and Vivienne Westwood jewelery. I spend all my paycheck the moment I get it.....it's pretty sad really....

[dakkii]

the copy of CODE OF THE VULGAR[ISM] i'm getting is the 2 dvd version too <3 i have a knock off of despair in the womb... i really REALLY want 5 ugly kingdom... i have this master plan to by it, it withers and withers (2 dvd version), macabre 00->01, and blitz 5 days off of ebay... and then i'll have to buy osaka jo hall from cdjapan or something =_= or i could buy a knock off on ebay... ((this is what i do with my spare time, folks XD))

my... moneys ;_; where did they go??

[ChildPrey]

@amita:Thank you, I will. if I can go. lol. that was what we were discussing. I have no way of getting there.and I can't go by myself...
I hope I will be able to go tough. and if I find someone to go with me I can >.<

[semi~sweet]

i was talking with my brother yesterday and he quite his hobby (which was smoking) and he was all sad cuz now he doesnt have a hobby and i tole "Feel free to join me in my hobbies JRock and Anime but i must worn you it gets expensive." lol
I am so happy i work, even though i have no free time between school and work >.<

[Amita]

^lol I told my mom the other day that I wanted to order a DVD that costed 160$ she dropped everything and began yelling ^^''''''''' but after she said she'll think about it and that I should wait till my CDs come :) I'm so excited!

@Dakkii I don't think that buying knock off CDs and DVDs is very fair to the bands..... for me, downloading the songs, but not putting them on any CDs just on your MP3 or Ipod or something is fine....but giving money to people that just copy their stuff is not worth it....I hope I didn't offend you by saying that....it's just my 'friends' keep asking me to borrow my CDs so they can copy them and I find that really offending cause it took me alot of time bugging my parents and alot of money and to them, my time and treasure is nothing. (I really like your hair by the way......I want to get my hair done like Aki's from Sadie...but I have to wait....)

@ChildPrey hmmm why don't you just say you're going to meet someone there????? :p

[ghostinthefog]

hello all, I'm a long time lurker but too lazy to log in.
I'm going to see these guys on June 24th *next sunday :D *
its just so crazy/wicked/cool their coming with the Deftones *long time fan the deftones*
edit: This kind of stuff annoys me: *insert mistaken review*

ehh, bunch of close minded dorks. a japanese Disturbed? I dont think so. and if you think about it I dont think the Deftones dislike their music either if they booked them on the tour right?

[Amita]

@ghostinthefog you're so lucky!!!!! Have fun at the concert!!!!

[dakkii]

@amita- i agree, but in the case of Despair in the Womb being an 'a knot' only DVD... and as i am physically unable to join the fanclub (though i WISH I COULD), i think it's fair. also, i didn't know it was a knock off when i bought it. besides the only way to buy a real one is for $200 on ebay (that's literally what they're going for)... i think that's much less fair. and i was kidding about osaka jo hall, though it's tempting, as it's $50 for a DVD vs. $8 XD and you didn't offend me ^_^

HAVE FUN GHOSTINTHEFOG!!!

[Amita]

@Dakkii ah then you have a point! Sorry bout that! :relief:
There are ways of joining -a knot- but it's uber expensive! I wonder why they wont open it to foreign countries??? :o

[andie]

yeah having jrock is a very expensive hobby and some people would really find you weird for liking japanese bands esp if it is a VK band....

[Amita]

^lol some kids in my class heard what I listen to and now they think I'm going to kill everybody -_-''''' Sometimes it just gets annoying

[semi~sweet]

Amita~ hahaha like my sister i let her listen to my i pod once and she was just looking at me with this weird look on her face like she was scared of me or somthing lol i was just laughing the whole time

[dakkii]

XD everyone used to make fun of my jrockers when i had pictures of them on my binders... and sometimes kids at my school just take my ipod to see what's on it and i always freak out at them O_O i don't want them to find out how scary i am XD and i always wear my diru wristband, and this one annoying guy who sits next to me tried to take it off my wrist once and i finally yelled at him x_x IHATEHIMSOMUCHMAKEHIMSTOPFLIRTINGWITHMEGAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAH @_@

i just heard 'sea of retards' for the first time and laughed really hard XD how could anyone think that's a diru song? XDDDD it's not even a song!!

[semi~sweet]

I like letting ppl know im scary it stops the really annoying prepy ppl from talking to me hahaha which is kind of sad cuz now my favorite cuzin is one of those ppl but i have to remind her she used to be even scarier then me lol. When i frist meet my (he a prep but hes not annoying) he saw my Dir en grey pics and he asked me if i had any issues i want to talk about lol and i thought after that he wasnt going to talk to me any more but now look at us lol

[Amita]

i just heard 'sea of retards' for the first time and laughed really hard XD how could anyone think that's a diru song? XDDDD it's not even a song!!
lmao when I heard that song, me and my brother fell onto the ground laughing :lol:

@semi~sweet I guess ppl do find me scary...:relief: I can be quiet, shy, and very polite one second (*cough* to teachers...they don't pick on you that way :p) and then loud, rude, hyper and talkative the next.
One time this guy from my music class went around the halls screaming "people we are in god's land, praise god!" I'm not against god or religion or anything (I'm not religeous) but I got so annoyed and that "quiet me" vanished. I turned around and told him in a really dark voice "there is no god"....that was the...erm....worst thing to do in that situation....everybody went quiet and just stared at me funny.....luckily a friend broke the silence and said "erm...uhhhh....did anybody do their....um...homework???"
I also get called a stalker for having alot of pictures of them....... is that wrong???

[semi~sweet]

haha i get called stalker too but only by my bother in law who is starting to like dir en grey to all thanks to me lol

[Amita]

LOL I've tried to get more ppl to like them....but it doesn't work...here's it's all rap, pop and hip hop....and ppl say I have strange taste in music....
My bro liked Saku and Berry for a bit....but then didn't like them....and some of the PV's give my friends nightmares :relief: erm....well I tried at least!

[semi~sweet]

well i can honestly say my brother-in-law has weird taste and i got him in to dir en grey cuz i was showing him something on my laptop and he saw my Kyo wallpaper and a few day later (by that time i had changed my wallpaper) he used my laptop and asked me "Wheres that pic of that guy that looks like death? He's awsome!" So i started telling him about dir en grey and now he likes them...lol i let me brother listento obscure and he freaked lol and was all "Can you turn that off now?" and i was like but obscuer is awsomly disturbing dont you think?" and he just left me there lol

[Amita]

lol I was listening to Grief during music theory class... I guess there's something wrong with my headphones cause everyone could hear what I was listening to.... people were just like..... omg.....um creepy much.....
another time, I saw a shirt on Jxyz that said F*** off I wanna die. [picture] Wake up you're dead..... I dunno why, but I really liked that shirt so I showed it to my friend and she got really mad.... how come not many ppl understand what I like? I told my friends at school I wanted more piercings on my ear and maybe one on my lip and they got mad and acted like my parents and lectured me......... :( There's only 2 ppl I know that agree with me that the stuff I like is cool...but I don't get to see them much

[dakkii]

"fxxk off i wanna die... wake up you're dead" are diru lyrics <3 nice taste!! XD

i used to have a cute picture of gackt brushing his teeth on my binder and people called me a stalker XD it's not like i took it myself, guys!!!

in my group of friends, i'm the weird one already, so i don't think my changes matter much XD like i just bleached my hair so it's almost white and have blue highlights... didn't surprise them XD and they're like half asian AP students... i guess i'm the entertainment :P they know i'm scary and make fun of me for it... but i do have to hold back a little, i guess...

my mission for this entire year is to get one of my friends into miyavi XD the guy who tried to steal my diru wristband... i burned Vulgar for him when he recognized Malice Mizer and asked for some... slipped it in there XD but he never said anything afterwards O____o oh well!

my brother likes diru... his favorite is yurameki... i showed him the obscure video and he jumped a foot in the air when the geisha girl took a bite out of the baby's head... but the child prey pv was his favorite... with the retarded kaokao clap <3

[Amita]

lol Obscure PV really scare me :p

I've managed to get my friends into Gackt, Nightmare and the gazettE. but no one seems to like Diru too much...I don't really get why....:(

omg I saw a pair of Shinya drumsticks....but they're so EXPENSIVE!!!! WHYYYY????? :(

[dakkii]

i think the obscure pv is my favorite... i think my order goes
1. obscure pv
2. child prey pv (MICE!!!!)
3. [kr] cube pv
4. kodou pv
5. ...the rest XD

on ebay? yea... XD and no one likes diru because they're intense, don't worry about it <3 gackt, gaz, and nightmare aren't exactly "hardcore" (and i like those)

[semi~sweet]

i think dir en grey is the most intense band i listen lol the rest are l`arc~en~ciel, gackt and an cafe....but dir en grey is the band i listen to the most and my perents think im always dipressed because i do but it's just that i love the music (parents just dont understand)

[Amita]

lol parents never seem to understand anything......:p

they were teasing my brother the other day about his music (he likes bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden) and it suddenly came to my mom's attention that his music might be 'negative'..... wait till they read Diru's lyrics...that'll be interesting :lol

I have to say that my fave PV has to be The Final....I really like the fire thing (and Shinya's hair :bluush:) and the lyrics are really nice too :)

[Bloodlust]

Diru is falling behind in that "Best Band in The World" thing. We can vote once a day, guys. My Chemical Romance can't possibly be better than DEG!

[Amita]

WAHHHH I WANT TO VOTE!!!!...but the site doesn't work on my comp!!!!!! :( something to do with Java...is that coffee?????

[dakkii]

XDDDD yes, yes it is.... i know that from the GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE MOVIE!!! *nostalgia for my childhood* XDDDD

yea i've been voting... but then i realized it's not going to do anything, so i don't bother much anymore... i'll vote when i remember XD

@semi~sweet- seriously?? the main bands i listed to are Diru (of course <3), Girugamesh, D'espairsRay, MUCC, Sadie, lynch., UnsraW... i like some other less hard stuff also like gazette and GACKT!!, miyavi, an cafe etc... but it's mostly GWAR! music... i have a lot of music though @_@ 6,000 songs... so i have a ton of stuff with lots of different genres... hard VK is my favorite though...

@amita- my parents are so strange o_O... like my dad says he likes metal because his favorite band is Rammstein... so i played "hydra" for him and he hated it... but then he heard gackt's ~RETURNER~ and thinks it's genius XDD and my mom likes... like... tango music O_O and i was mad at her so i played Clever Sleziod (single ver) and when that opening scream/growl/creaking thing came up she like jumped up and down and clapped saying "oh that's so cool!" .... @____@ ARE ANYONE ELSE'S PARENTS ON LOS DRUGOS?!?!

[Liquid Fantasy]

^ My parents don't even know that I'm listening to those kinds of bands.

Except my twin sis...
who I tried to get into Jrock.

***I voted for DEG...

[andie]

^lol some kids in my class heard what I listen to and now they think I'm going to kill everybody -_-''''' Sometimes it just gets annoying


well my officemates think i am a devil/devil worshipper/avatar of satan

[Amita]

^lol I get that from this family down the street...the looks they give me....:p

@Dakkii I use to be so obsesed with George of the Jungle :lol:
You have....very....interesting parents.... when my mom first heard Clever Sleazoid she thought it was my brother trying to sing (my bro's singing is.......erm horrifying)!! I felt soo insulted!

[Bloodlust]

[QUOTE=dakkii;481670]yea i've been voting... but then i realized it's not going to do anything, so i don't bother much anymore... i'll vote when i remember XD
QUOTE]

Me too, but even though I know it won't make much difference in the big picture, I want to see Diru beat the snot out of My Chemical Romance! They are overplayed and while they have talent, they don't have any staying power. Diru was around 10 years ago and are still going strong. I doubt many people will know MCR in 10 years. They are simply what's hot right now. People used to love Brittany Spears too, but that doesn't make her good.:evil:

[BlackSoul]

wow...I wasn't here for some time *hides in corner*

I think my parents accepted that I listen to "weird" music...my dad just once said, when I listened to D'espa a little bit loud: you could also listen to Rammstein (he listens to them)...me:O___O WHAT?!
my mom once started singing with Miyavi, dancing with Kaggra and she thinks that Silly God Disco is a cool song (although she first thought that it would be the James Bond theme^^)...so far she didn't hear anything from Diru and I'm happy about it, because she already thinks that I'm not normal and hearing Diru would make her think that I'm totally crazy^^
I bet my classmates wouldn't talk to me any single word anymore if they ever took my iPod and listened to Diru :D:D maybe I should do that on purpose and getting rid of them!!!^^ -mainiac laugh-

@Bloodlust
I totally agree with you^^

[semi~sweet]

I've been voting like cazy! lol

omg my dad once heard Disabled Complexes when he was talking me to work (cuz i had my ipod like serously loud) and when i was getting down from the car he looked at me and said "have a good day and don't kill anyone!" lol i just laughed and walked away

[dakkii]

XD @ semi~sweet, amita's mom and blacksoul's mom :P

yea i listen to my ipod waaaay too loud... like recently i hit full blast (which i was too scared to do before) aaaaand... yea O_O sometimes i can feel my ears plug themselves up when i'm listening to my music and i always think "aww how cute! my ears are trying to protect themselves!" and then i turn the music up more XD yes, i know i'm going to die.

MCR XDDD i dunno... sometimes i get one of their songs up on shuffle and there usually is about 3-5 seconds somewhere in the song that makes me look up and think "wow this is actually decent!" and then it goes away and i think "...oh" :P i don't think they're COMPLETE crap... i think the singer's voice is annoying sometimes and it's all just kind of blah. yea... diru needs to beat them. *goes and votes like crazy* ^__^

[pinkbuta304]

wow, i haven't posted here in a long time! well, i see you guys are talkin bout ppl who think you're weired when they find out you listen to diru! haha happens to me al the time!
i'm the quiet kinda innocent looking girl and when people take away my ipod and listen to my diru or jrock they're like "wtf!" lol and they're always weirded out by my binder that has diru and jrockers all over. They don't think i'm the type that would go for that kind of music lol

oh, and what site is this voting taking place at??? i really want to vote as much as i can, until my hand cramps up. :-) cuz diru IS the best

[Liquid Fantasy]

^ we have the same personality....people think i don't listen to that kind of music....

[andie]

^ i am not much of a fan of diru but since kisou i begin to love them,their earliest song werent my type but yeah TMOAB is a very nice album it is my fave,kyo did a variety of vocal styles and conceived sorrow is just oh so heartbreaking

[ghostinthefog]

[bluecupxxx]

[ThiefRikku]

Dir en Grey *-* *muach* Kyo is the BEST ^.^
Best songs -- The Final, Kodou, Dead tree (my opinion)

[Amita]

Amitahahaha i like your sig...i was showing a pic of shinya to me boyfriend and i was telling him i want my hair like his and he was like "THATS A GUY!!" lol i just laughed and said yeah
lol MY MOM WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME!!!! I kept telling her that's a guy, but she kept thinking I was joking!

[Sw33t]

I got Diru tickets 2 months ago for August at the Arena!!

[semi~sweet]

lol MY MOM WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME!!!! I kept telling her that's a guy, but she kept thinking I was joking!

haha i remember a while back i had a pic of hyde without a shirt on my phone and my mom was using my phone and when she gave it back she asked me "Why do you have a picture of a naked girl on your phone?" i could stop laughing and she thought i was carzy. but now she knows that all the band i like have only guys for members.

:souka: dudes the dir en grey thread was on the second page... never thought i'd see the day........
*slightly disturbed*

so here's some news, directly from Leader-sama's mouth:

"I guess you might mention about DVD, which we released exclusive for our fan club memberships. I believe they are the people who understand us the most. Nowadays, we tend to do activities in overseas more than before, so we try and produce works for them. At the moment, our fan club is only limited for people who live in Japan, but we hope we will open the door to overseas people." --Kaoru

open it overseas~ <3

AND THIS!!!

"After the tour with the Deftones, we will have some time to write songs and then we?re going to tour in Europe in August. Now, there are some songs nearly finished. I am not sure, but we will be able to release something around autumn." --Kaoru again

SO EXCITED!!!! i have NO idea where they'll go after MOAB... i have always been able to hear the basic direction dir was moving, but no i just have no clue <3 i. am. so. excited.

also they've said they're doing another US tour in early 2008, so i've heard *jumps up and down*

[Amita]

@Dakkii OMGGGGGGGGG I HOPE THEY OPEN THEIR FAN CLUB FOR OVERSEAS PEOPLE!!!!!! I HOPE THEY RELEASE SOME NEW SONGS!!!!!! (WEEE UBER EXCITED!) Thanks for posting that! It made my blank day (well now....night) into a hyper one!!!


...another US tour??? I hope they at least come to Canada once...we're just right above USA!!!! Don't ignore us please!!!!...my dad said he might let me go if they come again...:)

[pinkbuta304]

dakki, thanx for the news! I was begining to feel impatient because i haven't heard any recent news about them.
Yes!!! they have to open thair fan club overseas! And another U.S. tour next year? Yay! :yeahh: It seems like they're starting to do one at the begining of every year now.
I can't wait for what they're releasing next!

[Precious4e]

hahaha if they do have another tour I hope i'll be able to make it.....if its during my second semester it'll be nice since I'll be basically done with everything in school kekeke....

[BlackSoul]

@dakkii
thanks for the information!!
I hope they open their fanclub overseas soon, that would be sooo GREAT!!!!!!(although I probably won't have enough money to join^^)

a new Album sounds definitely interesting :yeahh: *is excited*

[semi~sweet]

yes thank much omg i hope so too danm i cant wait to see them awww i feel like suck an idiot because i didn't get to see them in feb.

[Amita]

@Sugar-san omg i know what you mean! When I asked my dad if I could go (last feb) he said NO it's on a school day and it's too far away. It just happened that there was NO SCHOOL that day! I was so mad!! I could've gotten a ride with someone else too! It was just a 4 hour drive

[semi~sweet]

I couldnt go cuz i had school...i was all sad that day

[dakkii]

i skipped school >.> wooo~

i really want to follow the next tour a little bit... the usually play 2 shows in LA and hopefully i can fly or drive out and crash with some of my friends and see both shows... then rush back for the San Francisco one *crosses fingers*... i missed them on the showcase and fvt and opening for deftones, and i need to see them AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, because seeing them at inward scream was the best day of my life... only jrev comes close to it ^__^

also, the name of their new tour in japan in called "Doving Green" or "Dozing Green" O__o no clue what that means, but whatever <3

[andie]

kyo's fish hooking isnt that REAL he uses props that is accrdg to a fan who saw his mini capsule fall(it contains blood or something)

[kouji-sama]

:dance::dance::dance:
That's it! I'm joining the fanclub, buying whatever the hell they put out, and I swear on Kaoru's beard...I. Will. Go. To. A. Concert.
I missed their February show in Ft. Lauderdale (ridiculously close to where I live), because it happened a mere three weeks before I knew about them. I literally kicked myself when I found out.
Oh...and hi btw, I'm sorta kinda new...at least haven't posted anything in a while (and absolutely nothing of significance).

[pinkbuta304]

welcome kouji-sama, i kinda know how you feel, i got to see them in feb, but i missed them on june 28th! they were like down the street from where i live but i couldn't go because my graduation ceremony was on the same day, at the same time and my parents wouldn't let me miss it for a concert! :(

[dakkii]

yea i missed fvt and the showcase because i dropped off the jrock news for a long time... i listened to the music like a crazy person, but i got no news of the bands/pictures/downloads... just bought cds and stuff... i was so angry after i came back though >__< at least i made it in time for inward scream! it was close!

[HitsugiMad4eva]

Dir en grey are Playing in london On august 1st and second i might be going on the 1st kyo is amazing (Wierd)

[EmperorHirohito]

Ok time for people to help me out here, my daughter is going to see Dir en Grey in London on 1st August, if any other JREF members are going to that concert on the same day could you please send me a PM, as it would be nice if she wasnt on her own.

Many Thanks.

[Twisted_Insanityxxx]

could everybody do me a favor and plz vote for Diru as best International new comer plz!!!?
and thank u so much if u do:-)

www.kerrangawards.com/kerrangawards/vote-bestinnewcomer.shtml

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Newcomer??!!! You've got to be kidding me! But sure, hope you don't have to register:D

[dakkii]

^that's so cool... i wish MY parents went on forums other than "tech help" etc... and were willing to let me go with internet people ^___^ i can't go (as i live a thousand years away) but i hope people pm you!!

[Twisted_Insanityxxx]

its cos they are considered a new band in america haha
no u dont haha its unlimited so vote lik crazy haha

[ChibiSara]

Oh I just love Diru~<3 (Especially the emotional songs, call me emo, I don't care.)
Yay, this year they're even coming in Finland! But I don't have any money. Crap. I was really looking forward to see them live. Kyo's voice is incredible, and the lyrics are somewhat unique. The music really sounds soulful, the guitar solos... *drools* :blush:

[dakkii]

^yay welcome!!

psh i'm done with the whole "emo" thing... like chibisara refered to, is it now bad to like things that have strong emotion to them?! should we all just be stoic all the time?! because that would be so boring and lame and then you might as well not be alive... sorry i know i'm totally preaching to the choir here, but it's been bugging me XD

[InfernalKalamity]

the concert of diru in february was actually ok...it wasnt the best concert they had in arizona. i went but like none of the band members really did anything special so im not sure what they did in the other states but idk i liked it for the music but performance wise wasnt the best...dont get me wrong i love them but...their concert was kinda boring except for the occasional fish hooking and the cutting

[pinkbuta304]

really? I saw them in feb too and i liked it! Yeah, they didn't do a lot but they were really into their playing! And they sounded amazing, like always! I can't wait until they come again! :-)

[Aoi-luver]

Hello! I love Dir en grey! Die is my favorite member... I would love to go to one of their concerts!

[Precious4e]

I thought their NY Inward Scream show was awesome lol.......but from what I heard from people who went to multiple shows, NY was one of the better ones.

[InfernalKalamity]

yea...i wanna go to another one....it would be awesome and most of the crowd was white or mexican and i was like O.O where are the other azns?? ><

[Aoi-luver]

No asian people for Dir en grey concert? seriously?

[pinkbuta304]

haha thats weird! are there not a lot of asians in arizona?

[Aoi-luver]

I thought there alot of asian on west coast of america no? or is it only california? am I mistaken? lol :bluush:

[Hara_Kei]

Hello! *waves*

I'm surprised I didn't find this thread sooner. I'm a really big Diru fan. ^^ So I'm new here, nice to meet you all. :]

I like Shinya best. XP

I saw them in February at Marquee Theatre~ I bribed my parents to let me go. They were really good, except that Shinya didn't really look at the crowd when he threw the drumsticks out. T.T It was fun nonetheless. And Kaoru's tuning sequence at the beginning was so cute 'cos he was speaking strangled English. XD

Now I have Diru stuff randomly lying around my room, poster, dog tag, t-shirt, etc, that I have to pick up before it gets vacuumed up. *runs away*

[Kagura]

Hi Hara Kei, nice to meet you ^.^ I'm not really new to Jref, but I haven't been on in a long time either XD. Isn't Diru the best?!?!? I saw them in Feb. at the Wiltern and they rocked out to the point where I cried XD. Oh yeah, how's everyone doing? I haven't been on the internet at all for the past couple of months....what did I miss? LOL

[pinkbuta304]

hello Hara_Kei! Yeah, I think shinya always looks like he just wants to get outta there as soon as possible!

Hi Kagura! i like you ava, nao's so cute! Anyways back to diru, you went to their show at the wiltern too?! weren't they great?!

[Kagura]

Oh yes, Nao is my husband in my pathetic little mind XD. And yes, they were absolutely AMAZING!!! I laughed like a retard when Toshiya threw the mike-stand back stage and almost hit one of the people XD. And I got to see them leave in their bus to! My friend got a picture of Toshiya and Shinya going down the stairs from the building. Toshiay even waved at us!! Such an awesome night!!!! How did you like the concert?

[pinkbuta304]

i thought it was amazing! there's nothing like being able to see your gods perform! lol
you noticed toshiya throwing the mic stand too?! i told my friend about it but she said she missed it. and kyo tossing around his crate on stage with the roadies trying to fix it back in place! lol its a night i will never forget! You got to see them leave? i wanted to but my brother came to pick me up as soon as it ended :okashii:
Nao's your husband? lol in my word i have 3: hiroto, kanon and Nao(kagrra,)

[Kagura]

I know what you mean! Diru is my fav band EVER!!!! I don't blame your friend for missing him throw the stand, they were all so eye-catching it was nearly impossible to see them all at once XD.

There was actually a big group of people waiting outside at first, but then the security was thrwoing us back and forth cuz they were actually letting us stay without permission, yeah....people got fed up with the wait so there was only about 6 of us left XD. It would've been cool for you to see them afterwards, even though it took a hella long time XD.

Nao is my #1 husband, aside from Die and Aoi XD Aoi is more of a sex slave though ^.^ LOL

[dakkii]

welcome to everyone <3

yea the fillmore live was AMAZING O__O i wont go on anymore about it though XD have enough already...

[Hara_Kei]

@KAGURA: Aoi is a sex slave!? XD But he's so full of win, I wouldn't mind it being the other way around...>.> Aoi is my #1~ ^^

I actually got there, expecting a super long line, but it actually wasn't very long at all, even though I got there half an hour before the show. >.> In fact, the whole revenue wasn't very packed at all, only in the front, but that was expected. :}

But I loved it when Toshiya leapt, held up his bass, and nearly tripped over Kyo's jacket.

You're lucky you got to see them leave. XD

[pinkbuta304]

wow, you're lucky! People lined up three days before the show at the wiltern! i got there @ 12 on the day of the show and the line was almost wrapped around the block!!!
Next time i'm lining up at least one night before lol

[Aoi-luver]

Kagura is lucky to be at concert! lol

Die is my favourite in band!

[FrostPixie]

For English (or European) Diru fans, Kerrang! are offering two tickets for the price of one for the August 1st London date through aloud.com.

Just incase anyone wants to go and hasn't got tickets yet.

I'd go but there's the issue of money and finding somewhere to stay this close to the date. If they were playing nearer to me (say Newcastle Academy rather than Islington Academy) I'd...well, ok I'd be cursing myself because I would have paid full price for tickets the day they went on sale, heh. We need more JRock in the North.

[Aoi-luver]

Going to concerts is fun, but when you not have enough money, and place to stay... is not fun...

[dakkii]

@aoi-luver-yea Die is pretty much amazing and underrated <3

[HitsugiMad4eva]

Who is Going To The Diru concert i will be im just waiting for my ticket to Arrive Lol only 6 days left EEEK i cant wait..

[Kodo]

Yes, it's far xD But they will be in Germany the previous day, so from there it's not far :P Well, RIGHT NOW it is very warm (for me O.o), the temperature varies between 20°C - 40°C (Celsius scale), I wish it was 15°C though :/

[InfernalKalamity]

lol...im not sure how hot or cold that is in fahrenheit. im dont know celsius. why do all the japanese bands go to europe? WHY!?!?:(

[CharismaticDeath]

THEY DON'T!! Well they seem to like Germany... but a lot of European countries have seen very little J-rock!! Although sayin that, a lot do seem to be thinking of us recently... but compaired to the US and some asian countries we are doin very badly!


TOMORROW I LEAVE ON MY TRAVELS TO GERMANY WHERE I SHALL SEE DIR EN GREY!! YAYS! ^-^

[InfernalKalamity]

@charismaticDeath: yea they seem to like germany...i think only dir en grey has made multiple trips to the us. im not sure of others though i dont really keep track. but they usually do go to asian places like korea and china and taiwan more.

[semi~sweet]

jrock is starting to get popular here in the states but we still don't have radio plays oh i wish we did but then thats why i love my IPod XD oh i can't wait till i go to a Dir en grey concert but i have to wait T^T danm summer school

[HitsugiMad4eva]

Hello I have news on the Carling academy live In london It Was Amazing i loved it Kyo Ripped His mouth Open Again lmao Omg i dunno what To Say There is So Much i just cant put it Kinda in words lol please forgive me

[InfernalKalamity]

@hitsugiMad4eva: yep thats i felt after the dir en grey concert i went to....haha

[HitsugiMad4eva]

Dir en grey did an interveiw in kerrang This week Although kyo let kaoru do all the talking lol

THE OUTSIDERS
from controversy and moral outrage to sell-out shows and a rabid fan-base..
DIR EN GREY-Japans answer to mcr are about to take the uk by storm

Di en grey frontman Kyo, guitarists kaoru and die, Bassist toshiya and drummer shinya- are one of japans biggest bands, regulary taking their claustrophobically intense rock to venues bigger than londons wembley arena.
And somehow, with no radio play, media interest or real profile, they've already become and underground phenomenon in europe, too. In august they'll play two headline shows in london's islington academy their first EVER shows in the uk. And with no publicity whatsoever, the first gig sold out in minutes.
"We were all very shocked by the fact that it sold out, because we've never been there and we had no idea that there were fans there," says kaoru, through an interpreter. "So it was almost unbelievable news for us, but we were very happy that it happend and there were people there who want to listen to our music."
It's typically modest response from a band who onstage, turn into beasts. Later on tonight kyo will howl,claw and at one point rip bloody chunks out of his own face. Offstage, though, he's shy to the point of almost silence. Dig a little deeper, though, and their startling success starts to make sense.

WHEN THEY started 10 years ago, the osaka quintet emerged from japan's highly-stylised 'Visual Kei' scene- where flamboyant clothes and make-up are as central as the music.
"The scene has changed so much that i don't really know what visual kei is right now," admits kaoru
"When we were growng up, the bands who were called visual kei played very hard music. But as the time passed and we see the visual kei scene right now, it's different, They're CUTE, and pretty colourful."
Even with the language barrier, it's easy to spot the word 'CUTE', spat out with the same disdain hardened punks reserve sor 'Sell-out'. but for all their rejections of the scene, it's the band's continued attention to visual detail that has gained them such an adoring fan-base.
On youtube, Their song 'Saku' video has been veiwed well over 650,000 times, while their clip of 'obscure' comes plastered with warnings. It caused outrage among the japanese press on it's release, and on watching it, there's little surprise why as it features on orgy of desturbing images- from kyo spewing vomit to a girl plucking babies out of a treeand taking phychotic bites from their heads.
" 'obscure' was actually one of the videos we didn't put much thought into!" laughs kaoru. " It's just kind of happened, there was no concept. The main reason why we made that video was we wanted to create something that would have an impact on the veiwers."
HE MAY leave the talking to the guitarist- the talkative pete wentz to his reserved patrick stump -but it's the enigmatic kyo who leads the band into the uncomfortable shadows they lurk in. You don't have to speak japanese to understand the anguish he's singing about -It's all there, plain to hear in each mournful lament and every blood-curdling scream.
"All the anger comes from my everyday life," kyo whispers. " It's not about what every word means, and it doesn't even matter what the whole song is about. I jus write about whatever's on my mind, but i don't have a particular message that i want to convey. The person whi is watching the concert or listerning to the music will have to interpret what everything - the words, music and performance combined- what it symbolises."
"Even japanese fans might not understand what i wtite," Kyo adds. "i want everyone in the whole world to feel the music on the same level, so it doesnt matter if you don't understand japanese. it's being able to understand the music as a whole."
clearly he's a man with his fair share of demons, and they come flooding out onstage, where he sometimes claws his chest until it's dripping with blood
" Sometimes that happens, but it,s not something that is too big a deal," shrugs kaoru of his bandmate's antics. " But there was one time when the blood would not stop!"
Despite the fact that they can quite easily sell out the worls famous budokan arena in tokyo (Which hold over 14,000 people) or the yokohama arena (17,000), they say they're 'not liked' by many people in their native country. But don't be mistaken, they're 'not liked' in the same way that MCR and marilyn manson are not liked by the vast majority of america; They're massive partly because of that wilful outsider status.
" In japan, it's not that we're not known, but not many people actually like us," insists Kaoru. " Our fans consist mainly of really hardcore fans. The japanese mainstream music scene consists mainly of pop artists. So it's very difficult for Dir En Grey to actually go out in the mainstream in japan. Of course we want as many people as possible to listen to the music, but we're not going to go out of our way to just be accepted by the mas public."
On tour with the deftones, Dir En Grey have carved out a loyal American following. In japan, They're rock royalty. And now they're heading our way to take london by storm with their two sold-out shows. They may not be going out of their way to fit in and be accepted by the world at large, but the ride this band are on seems to be out of control, hurtling towards international success at a dizzying speed. Get ready.

I dont get why some people just cant give them a chance Like my mate She hates them just because there japanese >:{ Most people have probly already read this but oh well enjoy lmao i just felt like doing this now im gonna think how to put the concert in to words lol

[FrostPixie]

Heh, I'm still sickened by the fact that they were compared to MCR. They are more like Japan's answer to Rammstein...they have the same impact, though Rammstein seem to have a larger international fanbase (they are by no means an 'underground success' internationally). They can even be compared lyrically to Rammstein. Comparing them to MCR is...insulting. To say the least. Then again, I don't expect anything more from Kerrang!, who lost their credibility years ago. I was amazed when my friend told me that Dir en grey were in it (I think he only told me because I got him into them). And he told me the day after it had stopped going on sale, grr.
And I know what he means...'cute' *cough*AnCafe*cough*. Visual Kei has changed.

I hope those who went to the UK gigs had fun :).

[pinkbuta304]

HitsugiMad4eva- Thank you so much for the interview!!!!!!! I hope you had an awesome time at the concert!!!


Haha i didn't know that the video for Obscure caused outrage in the Japanese press, lol so thats why there are censered versions of it!
FrostPixie- i agree, i think it's wrong that they were compared to MCR, sorry if i offened anyone, but its true

[barron tengu]

mcr definately is an insult. i guess people judge bands by eyeliner.

thx for the interview.

anyone saw them on fuse tv a long while back?

[FrostPixie]

HitsugiMad4eva- Thank you so much for the interview!!!!!!! I hope you had an awesome time at the concert!!!
Haha i didn't know that the video for Obscure caused outrage in the Japanese press, lol so thats why there are censered versions of it!
FrostPixie- i agree, i think it's wrong that they were compared to MCR, sorry if i offened anyone, but its true

:D, I was shocked the first time that I saw Obscure. Not by the content, really (though it was shocking), but by the fact that there wasn't a 'tame' version. Because, admit it, you wouldn't even see the cut version on music TV over here (except maybe in the early hours of the morning).
Take it as a sign of originality that they caused outrage in the Japanese press :). A lot of good bands have caused outrage.

I hear that they have been getting some video play on Headbangers Ball...it might be worth watching if that's true :).

@barron tengu Lmao, that's a good way of putting it :). MCR just make me sick...Diru do sometimes but it's always in a good way, lol :P.

[barron tengu]

the new hangbangers ball will never be worth watching, lol.

originality sure does seem to scare people... but pop music is what scares me. "my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is coo..." much much scarier than dir en grey. (>_<.)

anyone c the animated vid for Agitated Scream of Maggots? i dunno if its really an official vid, but its quite insane, even more so than obscure lol.

[pinkbuta304]

frostpixy - yeah, i saw Saku being played on headbanger's ball a few times.

barron tengu - i think that is the official video for it. crazy huh? lol

[barron tengu]

indeed lol. i think its the crasiest for sure. i saw the none animated version on fuse, i can c why no one would play the animated one.

[pinkbuta304]

haha when i first saw it i was like wtf?!! lol but then again it is diru, so i wasn't that surprised

[andie]

andie, I LOVE your avatar! Could you send me it?:D


thanks
ill send it to you

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Thanks andie!
Uh-huh the videos are proper freaky, but I love them :D
Man I would have given my left eye to go to their UK gig, glad you guys had fun though. Hope there are some videos of them on YouTube. Did you guys take pics? Post! :cool:

[InfernalKalamity]

wow....comparing dir en grey to mcr..in my opinion theres like a huge difference between them. dont get me wrong i like both bands. but mcr is more rock to me and i guess dir en grey leans for the emo screamo type of genre to me. kinda weird to be comparing those two.....i watched like obscure and i was like....:souka:. and most ppl i showed saku to was like WTF? thats messed up...hahaha

[janica-chan]

Yesterday... Dir en grey... And still I don't believe that... I didn't even believe that when I saw them. They are so... awwww... But it did feel that it went so fast. That they just played few songs.. But of course they played more than few song. They are so awesome! I hope they will come here again..! LOVELOVE
:love:

[andie]

i just cant believe what they said about obscure they didnt paid much attention to it,they just want to make a good vid(which was the best by the way) but it stirred up japan quite a bit,gotta say that they have awesome PVs.

[RevengeBabyYeah]

I know, imagine feeling sick beforehand then watching Obscure....urgh :cool:
So tell us more about the gigs guys.

[semi~sweet]

hahaha i love obscure lol the first time i finished i watched it my stomach felt really bad lol but i loved it lol

[barron tengu]

im jealous janic-chan... so jealous.


whats everyones favorite vid of theirs? mines child prey or kasumi or saku or the final, ok so thats 4, but oh well.

[InfernalKalamity]

my favorite vid would prolly be either the final, kodou, or maybe obscure....idk y:p

[Sw33t]

Dir en grey concert today here in Sweden. I've woken up 3 times now, and I can't go back to sleep, hehe. My fatboy taiwanese friend is sleeping in the couch, and his brother is sleeping on the floor. Four other friends are using my bed and couch, and my brother is sleeping in his bed. So I have to sleep on a damn matress on the floorT_T I'm alright though, I'm playing an addictive online game so I have something to do hehe^___^ I just wanted to let people know! Dir en grey are in Sweden right now!!!!!!!!
