Dir en grey

Heh.. A friend of mine has seen them alot of times now and she is going to theire show in dennmark! Want to join her for that aswell, but dont have the money after Wacken^^;;

Yeah.. I still like them eventhough they are US inspired and the fact that they say Kyo is a knife self-cutting emoboy on stage these days.^^;;;;;
 
I'm seeing them when they come to England!! It's gonna be my first time to ever see them!! At the moment i'm going on my own though, stupid *** parents won't let me go till i find someone else to come with me ^^;
They only decided to tell me that after i'd bought my ticket >_<

I like their new album just as much as the others, i think it's nice for a little bit of change, but i'd hate it if they lost all of their...jrockness xD
does that make sense?
 
i saw them live on the last night of inward scream in san francisco <3 it was so funny, because it was the last night, the roadies were harrassing the opening bands XD one of them dressed up in a wrestling mask and stood behind the drummer and threw ice cubes at him sometimes he hit the actual drums and screwed him up, too... the drummer looked so mad, but he couldn't do anything... and then for the second opening band, the roadies just came on stage during the second to last song and started taking the drums off stage and striking the equipment... AND i looked up at the balcony and, during all this, kaoru and die were watching from up there and laughing really hard!!! die's smile is RIDICULOUSLY amazing... and kyo poked his head out for a second and laughed too O_O best moment of my life...

but ANYWAYS, Dir en grey is one of those bands you HAAAAAVE to see live... childprey i hope you can go!!! make sure you're not doing anything important the next day, because when i went, i headbanged so hard i couldn't move for literally the next 3 days, and my neck was sore the rest of the week! of course, i'm an extreme case, but it's difficult to restrain yourself! <3 <3 <3 <3!!!!! yea... i'm hoping to see them with deftones back in san francisco... i'm coming back from japan that day, so i'm hoping my mother can change the flight so we fly into san francisco instead of LA, and i *lied* and said my friends are going (really they're just people i met from forums like these... she wouldn't let me go if i told her because, according to her, everyone on the internet is a rapist O_O)

*loooong post... oh well, i need an outlet! i've been studying for APUSH all day *
 
aww i wish i could have seen that! i saw them at the LA show though, but still. I gotta say i'm kinda jealous now lol

I think that was very idiotic of the roadies to harrass the support bands! I really hate it when some people just ruin live shows no matter what band is headlineing! I just hope the show at Wacken will be fun though^^ I saw Moi Dix Mois in germany last year and I am a huge fan of them, so in my oppinion I doubt that Dir en grey wil overcome that show! Though I love dir en grey^^

Got my wacken tickets yesterday too btw!! Im soo happy! The tickets are awesome and I am getting soo smashed on the way down and at the festival.. though Ill try to stay sober during the bands i REALLY want to see^^;;;
 
fureya eriku XD yes, stay sober.. trust me getting drunk at a festival
while the band you want to see is playing, not a good idea

yeah harassing the roadies aint always funny... (altough diru tough differently
of it that moment ) diru has to tour with those cranky band members right?

@dakki: thanks for the post! the more reviews the better... for those
cant see them live so we (i) can enjoy it too.
please review the concert in san fransico too!
 
@ChildPrey
no I've never seen them before...nor any other j-rock band...that will be my first j-rock live...and I'm sooooo hyper about it!!!!!*jumps around*
@Fureya Eriku
I just give you a short advice (since I live in Germany and I know how they behave^^). On that wacken festival will also play other bands, that means there will be probably a lot of people there who have never seen dir en grey. And Germans tend to dislike things (especially when it comes to music) they don't like or don't know (I'm already known as the girl with the strange music at my school -.-). And when it comes to japanese bands they're even more intolerant. I don't wanna scare you, normally German people are nice people^^(like me ) But just don't care if there comes someone saying that dir en grey is crap or that he/she hates them. He/She has maybe never seen/heard them before and just dislike them because they are different. And Germans like to compare japanese bands with Tokio Hotel (I don't know if you know them...be happy if you don't). Just ignore those stupid people and have fun!!!(there happened a lot of things since I've started to listen to j-rock and since my classmates have known that...I just don't wanna happen those things to you. Even when you are just one day in Germany, but it's such a special day!!) So HAVE FUN!!!!! No matter what some people might say about Diru!!!!! (I hope I didn't scare you ) Just enjoy the concert...and I hope you will meet some nice people!!!!!
 
@ Black Soul Well I have been to germany twice. Once was just for a night stopp for some hours and another was at the Moi Dix Mois concert.. People are like that with music here aswell.. they just think "like omg those faggot japs bands blablabla" and I dont give a sodd.. heh.. looking the way I do I especially have to learn not to care what crap you get from others^^

And I will try to stay sober and I will enjoy all the shows I want to see^^ And especially Dir en Grey, LAcuna Coil, Therion, Chtonic etc..


And unnfortunately I know of Tokyo Hotel... What a jrock wannabe greenday rippoff! (Though Im a bit weak for the use of german in songs^^;;;
 
omg, tokio hotel sucks so much... IMO... so bad... the singers voice is so lame... and be compairing Dir en grey to them is like compairing,..ehm , can't think of anything, but something really good to something bad lol
 
Anyways, Diru's offical website has updated the tour page with the US summer and the European tours.

Hey guys, Im a not so new Dir En Grey fan.
I heard the WTD album the summer of 06. I listened to the album alot but then after a while i stopped and kinda forgot about them. Well not forgot, just didn't listen to them much.
Now I'm starting to listen to them again and falling in love with them all over.
My fav song is "Cage" and well I dont really have a fav member, I like them all sooo much~
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some things..
Could someone tell me what is Dir En Grey's latest PV and maybe post a pic of their latest look?

Thanks in advance ^^
 
latest pv: grief- youtube.com/watch?v=h1zn3lrBj3Y

Their latest look isn't bad, I was the most curious as to what Toshiya's hair color was now xD
I still love his 12 year old boy look the most...xD
And Kyo and Kaoru's chin pubes! Kyo's have grown since the last pic I saw O_O

@Fureya Eriku

@Mal
*waves* nice to see you around here!!!
well...my favourite song is Dead Tree...I totally freak out when I hear that song and start to sing it very very loud...even when I'm on my bike^^
I really like Cage too...and Saku...and conceived sorrow^^...but I still have to hear all of their songs *feels like a bad fan since she couldn't listen to all their songs so far*
"Kyo's have grown since the last pic I saw"<-- that made me really laugh!!!!^^

Ah yes, I'd have to add Zan to my list as well. In fact, Zan would be the opening track if I ever compiled a CD of Diru songs.

Also, I can't forget Kodoku ni Shisu, Yueni Kodoku. I remember not liking it very much when I first heard it, but there's something so distinct about it. In a sense, it kind of sums the band up in terms of their sound.
 
Wow, you guys sure list alot xD
I wouldve listed more but I just put the ones Ive been listening to the most recently. Diru really is amazing <3
Lol that was a bit random..
I have a question about Die.
What is his current hair color? Some have told me its still red but others say its brown.
From those pics it looks brown but yeah...im kinda confused xD
