Dir en grey

My copy of the limited edition of The Marrow of a Bone just arrived.
Packaging is really nice -- simple and classy. Can't say I appreciate the book, though; it's all black pages with dark grey text. I can hardly read it.
I also got some weird plastic... sleeve thing with the album. What the heck is it?


EDIT: Oh hey, check this out. Each song gets two pages in the booklet -- one page for the Japanese lyrics (when applicable) and the other page for the English translation. But guess what? The English is written BACKWARDS. Be prepared to feel completely silly reading in a mirror, but also remember that the text is still hard to read because of the print and colour.

Oh, Dir en grey, you silly little tricksters.

I went to the one at the House of Blues too!
I got to meet them!!
I wrote about it and I posted it in the Die thread...He said 'Thank you' in the cutest voice imaginable!

(The Miyavi thread is a lot clique-esque...)
 
god just got back from phili. that cold weather took a lot out of me. and now I'm sick but it was worth it! I got kaoru's water bottle and Kyo's sig on my poster. WOOT. I wish I could go to more. Seeing them is addicting. Has anyone heard about Deg being banned from ever performing at HoB Orlando again?

My friend told me it's a rumor going around o tofu and lj. Not confirmed, though I wouldn't be surprised. HoB is technically on disney property. And I doubt they liked some of the things Kyo did. *shrug* I dunno.

I guess that wouldn't surprise me. I suppose they don't want that at a place where three year olds want to see Mickey Mouse. But if I was a three year old... I'd rather go visit Kyo. Ahaha.

LOL, can't you just imagine a three year old running up to him!? He'd be standing there like ? with the little kid hugging his leg XD I can just picture the look on the parent's face I'm going to try SUPER hard to get a camera in for you all!! Spread the love!
 
I don't think it's a HoB thing, I think it's a Disney thing. Even though HoB is technically seperate, it still is on Disney property. And rap is one thing, but Kyo cutting and fichhooking and wearing a Rape Me bucket is something else completely. It doesn't go with the whole "Have a magical day!" attitude.
 
I suppose. Well it's still a rumor at this point so we'll see what happens. Although why do I get the feeling that the guys would be amused if they were indeed banned? XD
 
i just got back from the toronto show. great show, despite the fact that i hated the crowd, moshing was way overly done. i was getting tired before dir en grey stepped on stage trying to hold my ground. these ppl just don't know when to mosh and when not. to be honest i was frustrated by these unnecessary moshing throughout the night.
i got there around 4:20pm but then my fds found their fds who were there earlier so we joined them. i was standing about 8-9 rows away from the fence near the stage, standing in the middle a little bit right of Kyo. so i basicallly got a good view of every member, esp Die whom i wanted to see.
anyways, setlist for the nite:
first 3 songs i've no idea, the song dont sound familiar so i guess its new, plus i was trying to hold my ground with so many ppl moshing. but my fd said they played mr.newsman.
then they played saku.
the rest is not in order: obscure, the final, shokubeni, ryujuku no ame, kodoku ni shi su..., aishisa ha fuhei nitsuki, Jesus Christ RnR, and a few other WTD songs... and i can't recall the rest for now.
ensocre started with C, then the IIID empire, then i forgot what it was, but the last song was clever sleazoid.
Encore was really good as the boys seemed really enjoying it. kaoru and toshiya took turns standing on this plantform right in front of the crowd on the left and ppl were padding them on the shin and stuff. kaoru and toshiya came up to the front and jammed with Die, they also went to the drums to jam with shinya. but too bad encore was short, i hoped it could be longer cuz it was the best part of the night. oh ya, i don't like the sound, kyo's voice is too low and the guitars were abit too loud. for quite a few songs i had to know what it is by listening to the guitars instead of hearing from kyo. setlist wise i'm a little disapointed, was hoping for at least kodou and higeki wa...and kazumi since someone said they played it in previous shows.
i also got my self a tour tshirt, but $40 is WAY more expensive than i expected.

that sucks! hopefully u can see them if they ever do a north america tour again?? cameras r not allowed though, not even disposable, or camera phones, they pull u out if they catch u ... though i did see a lot of people using camera phones anyways ...


i just got back from the toronto concert to!! it was awsome! i got there around 1pm, and found some random people and we all stuck together ... it got really cold near the end, thank god for lawblows!! i went in there so many times!!

i moved around during the actual concert, there was a lot of pushing! even way before deg came on, like daki said, it was really annoying ... in the beginning i was in the middle of the crowd, to the right side, but by the end i had been pushed around so much i ended up 3 rows from the front, right in front of kyo ... my head got hit so many times .. im suprised i dont have a huge headache!!! and my arms kill!!

the prices of everything is SO expensive!!! 40$for a tshirt!! its insane!! i got it anyways though, lol .. the one with the tour dates at the back, i think its version A ... i also got the wristband and dogtag ... they were both 15$ each ....

i waited after the show with some people to see them, but they never came out .. the bus just left all of a sudden ... apparently someone said they thought they had seen die with a clothing rack go into the bus before, so they snuck in i gues?? i dont know, by the time i got out of the building it was an hour after it had finnished ...

i loved the wierd faces kyo made, especially when he did the one where he put his hands behind his head and waved his fingers! it made me laugh like crazy!!!

i would try to expand on the set list daki wrote, but im really bad with song names .. the ones i remember he said ... so ya

awsome amazing night i will never forget!! i can die happy now!!

oh! and apparently kyo got hurt again!!! twice hes been to toronto, both times he got hurt!!!!!!!! after the concert, when he was leaving the stage, apparently he was out of it, and fell down the stairs and hit his chin.... i swear, somethings cursed, either him or toronto! though im guessing its toronto, cause almost every concert i go to here, the lead singer gets hurt ..........
 
awesome! i can't wait til i go on the 23d! i hope they play obscure then too and i hope that theres not a lot of pushing (which i doubt) I hate those people, they make it hard for you to actually enjoy the show!!!
 
I live in Alexandria, Louisiana and I'm going to the Houston show.

GWAR and Mindless Self Indulgence have also played the HOB in Orlando and also the one in Anaheim. What Kyo does is nothing compared to their respective stage shows.
And yet GWAR and MSI are always invited back.

I'm dismissing the whole thing as hearsay until official word comes out, which will never happen. Plus even though the HOB is on Disney property, they don't own it so they couldn't do anything about it anyway.

lol, we were quite near each other

while waiting for encore this stupid girl on my left just couldn't stop screaming and i really wanted to beat her up. she was shorter than me so her mouth is at where my ears are, so i absorbed all her soundwave geez u know they'll come back out as the crew was checking the stage and not removing the sets so stop ur damn screaming.
 
lol, i know! some people's screams were so high pitched to! i think they broke my ears more than the music did!!!! hope she didn't break ur eardrums!
a lot of people actually left right before the encore, i dont know if they were just moving back, or actually going to leave, but there were quit a few of them!!
 
Wow, it so great to read all the posts about their concert!!!! I wish I had been there Did anyone manage to get any photos? For the people who are still waiting to see them, I hope you have a great time !!!!!
 
cameras arent alowed in. not even camera phones, though they let u keep those, just warn u not to use them or theyl take u out ... i met someone who had a camera, and they took pictures before the concert when they were out of their truck ... ill post those when she sends them to me ...
 
What did the shirts look like? Aa, poor Kyo!
 
ATTN: ALL GUITAR PLAYERS!!!
i'm trying to teach myself how to play guitar and i decided i'd try out some dir en grey, since it's those i'm most observent [sp?] of. what are some easy songs to play? fyi: i'm as beginner as a beginner can get on guitar. aka...i'm starting with like 1% ability. if you have tabs, non-guitar pro [cause i dont have it], that would be amazing.
thanks,
Kelly

p.s.: feel free to contact me on aim. think of it as online tutoring. heh. ^^
 
i love their new album
conceived sorrow is my fave-slow and very dramatic
clever sleazoid- i love the vocals and the pv
grief-nice song,i love it when other diru members sing,
i think this is my fave diru album,all songs are very interesting.
 
Though I don't know that the reason for the rumored baning was the stage performance. Sooooo. Until more info comes out it sounds like it's just some made up gossip, but if Deg did something backstage that warranted banning it could be true.
