Dir en grey

Oddly enough, I've always thought that "Grief" sounded a bit like a Deftones song. It's one of my favourites off Marrow of a Bone.

heya, new to the thread *waves*

I'm one of those that can't understand WHY Dir en grey would be touring as an opening band...they've already proven they can tour on their own, so...why? why why whyyyy?

and why can't they tour in my state? *sighs* the closest venue is in Georgia...

Ah well, as long as they're still doing anything I'm happy :LOL:
 
i'm ok if they don't come up. when you think about it, i don't wanna pay $50 and see diru for 30mins. i paid around the same amount last time for the Inward Scream tour and i got to see them for 90 mins :eek:

They are going to be performing for about 45-50 minutes this time.

Oh and Diru won't be joining the tour until June 6th so any show before that is just the deftones and fall of troy.
 
At least for this round, there's one opening band before Dir en grey. And the upside is if you really don't like Deftones, you can leave early or go buy merch since Dir en grey would have already played anyways. In my case, I'll be at the bar. I've seen Dir en grey from the front row a few times, and I am getting too old to be pinched by crazy fangirls.

I only saw the Deftones live once, and that was at Family Values. Now, granted, I think that outdoor venues don't carry sound as well as indoor ones, but Deftones just sounded like one big messy wall of noise. .



uhm.. thats what DeG sounds like live too.. :-)

anyone know if Dir en Grey and Defones are playing in Arizona?.. I think I may be the only person here that actually really likes the Deftones.. and seeing them with DeG would be a nice bonus.
 
Dir en grey won't be at the Arizona show since that show is May 11th and Dir en grey isn't joining the tour until June 6th.

@ nekkyo: i just wanna drop a note that i like you're avatar


what do you guys think of the new album?
or did you already discuss this? (im too lazy to look back trough al the pages ^_^;) i have it digital so if anyone needs ****** you know the story :P....
 
uhm.. it was a joke.. most bands sound like a wall of noise live.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the phrase "wall of noise." My point is that I couldn't make sense of anything when I saw the Deftones. It was a complete mess.

Sorry, didn't catch it.
Anyway I was at FVT with Saishu and the Deftones had really bad sound issues that night, where as all the other acts the night had no problems. So I think that's what he's refering to.

I dono if it's dicussed here but I'm was here long time ago and yeah i'm lazy too!
BTW I like new album!
Conceived Sorrow,Disabled Complexes,Namamekashiki Ansoku are my fave (sometimes I just like to hear slow Diru song where I can enjoy a real beauty of Kyo's voice) and I also like those three bonus versions!I like the whole album!I think it's not their best but it's one of the best (even though all Diru albums were great to me)!>_<

I LOVE the new album - Conceived Sorrow is simply magnificent and is already right up there for me with stuff like Obscure and Aint Afraid on my all time Diru list. Anyone who thought Kyo had lost his voice has been well and truly owned. I was a little surprised that ASOM was chosen as a single considering they had gems like Fatal Believer, Conceived Sorrow and Grief that would have made better releases I think. I also got the limited first press release and am loving the bonus CD - I have thought for some time that Diru should have released an unplugged compilation and am very pleased with what they have done on that bonus CD! :-)

I personally feel that if "agitated screams" wasn't released as a single and was just left to the album, i wouldn't like it as much, i guess i just listened to it a lot; over and over while waiting for the album to be released and it really grew on me.😌

Does' anybody like the remake of Clever sleazoid? I liked the original better, but i do really like the re-recording of ryoujoku no ame the lyrics are more pronounced and sound more clear.

I agree!👍It's amazing!I like Kyo's voice!He has an G/D sexy voice!
 
I'd also say that I like the single version of Clever Sleazoid more. When I first heard the album version, I felt that it sounded as if it was being pulled through mud, whereas the single version, in comparison, pushes through the song a lot more powerfully (if that comparison makes any sense... X3;; )That's not to say I don't like the album version at all, though; I just happen to find the single version superior.
 
I agree. Admitedly, I've only heard a less than pristine version of the album one, but while it does have it's merits, I do find the single more appealing at this point. Still rocks, though. As far as I'm concerned, anything they touch is gold. Could be crap and probably wouldn't notice!
 
Dono if this was sent before but I decided to post it here!

Dir en grey to Support the Deftones
28.03.2007 - Melony & Kay
source : deftones official site
artist(s) : Dir en grey
In addition to our previous news item about Dir en grey being the 'special guests' of a concert of the Deftones, on June 6th, it turns out that they will support the band during the rest of the tour as well.

They will join them from June 6th until June 28th. Next to Dir en grey, the American band The Fall of Troy will also join the Deftones.

For the tourdates and about how to order tickets, check out the official website of the Deftones.

Play with his puppy?

Has there been any official announcement from Diru about the Deftones tour?
 
....Does anybody like the remake of Clever sleazoid? I liked the original better, but i do really like the re-recording of ryoujoku no ame the lyrics are more pronounced and sound more clear.

Agreed on both counts - the album version of Ryoujoku is the better of the two versions, but the single version of Sleazoid is far superior to it's album version in my humble opinion - the choruses are better, as are the "Sky is deep and wide" lines. Some real good stuff on there, but I hope Die and Karou haven't completely abandoned the solos.... :(
 
I'd also say that I like the single version of Clever Sleazoid more. When I first heard the album version, I felt that it sounded as if it was being pulled through mud

I felt the same way. now I don't mind it as much, but yeah given the choice between the two the single is still my top pick.

Me too; after I heard it for about the 4th or 5th time the other day, I didn't mind it as much as when I first heard it. XD For sure, though, I still like the single version more.

As for Ryoujoku no Ame, I don't think I've listened to the album version enough to know which I like better at this point...

Bloodlust- hmm, I checked around a bit, and I haven't seen anything on their official site or myspace or anything...unless I overlooked something.
