Dir en grey

[Champloo]

That would kick ***. MORE SONGS IS LOVE! X_X Let's just hope it's not to western based, or we might never hear the end of the bitching that they have changed too much. DX I don't wanna hear about it. DX!!! XDD

 

[Kaine]

ahh yea hide... i dunno? i wouldnt really expect them to come back here too soon.. they probably wil come back in the future.. but not this early...
hide: where did u go? i was lookin allover the place for u after the concert, i wanted to give you a BIIIIGGG hug before u left =*( since i didnt give one to u then ill give one to u now *HUG*

 

[Nana007]

Well they played a new song at they NY concert, not to sure about L.A. I didn't even realize it was a new song till someone told me. But I really don't remember it cause I was spending the whole song trying to figure what it was haha. But other people who I have read reports from say its Clever Sleazoid light, or Clever Sleazoid Jessica style. Or WTD but a little more pop. So yea, it is simular to what they are doing now. But, what I can remember myself, is that it had a really nice and prominen baseline which has been rare lately, and that the chorus was in english. @LA peeps did they play the new song, and if so what did you thing. I have to hear it again, not live to make my opinion on it personally.

Edit: About retouring, I talked to one of the Japanese staff members, and while they didn't give anykind of definant answer, they did say that the guys were really happy, and enjoyed the U.S and to keep an eye open cause some stuff is in the works. And also that they were leaving for L.A @ 5 a.m.

 

[Kaine]

haha i think i heard a new song? i think they did it during the encore tho.. caz i know there was one song i couldnt recognize? im not too sure tho... but i dont think i liked it all that much? i could be rong tho

 

[Nana007]

Yea, they did it right before Child Prey at ours. And I am really not sure if I like it or not because that whole performance I was confused as to what it was. So yea...

 

[Champloo]

Did they play Obscure at any of these? Cause Meggie will be crushed if they did.

 

[Honey Vanity]

Yeah the new song was hard to hear by that time and therefor I dont want to form an opinion aboutit yet. Gah! 5 am. No wonder there so tired poor babies.

Ah sorry I didnt see you afterwords. lol Next time...next time....

Wheres drain away with her pics?!

Good luck Champloo. If not Germany, then waiting for a retour it is. You better go too. Where to begin. My trip started off pretty lame. Couldn't get the hotel I wanted cuz my credit card wasn't working..but after about 2 hours of walking around, I found a place that'll take cash deposit. Walked around LA as a loner for awhile the first day and then just went back to my hotel room and passed out. Woke up around 5ish and checked out of my hotel @ 10. Walked down to the venue and met up with some kids from the Batsu forums. Got at the venue around 10:30ish. Chilled and hung out and made friends. Finally Hide found me. She's such a sweetheart and a great person to be around. ^__^ Then Kaine came. Finally. Sorry we couldn't do lunch. T__T. Jenn is also a sweetheart. Last but not least, Miss Drain.. Very energetic and sweet as well. All of you guys looked great and I'm sorry I didn't hang out with you more but I didn't want to just ditch the people I met up with before because they were gonna give me a ride to the airport and all. Now on to the concert.. wow. That's all I can really say. I'm still a bit in shock and it hasn't even hit me yet that they're real people. I really wanted to be in the pit, but didn't even try when I got in the wrong line and saw the line for the pit. I did get a good view of the band though and was pretty happy about it. My body is still in pain from all the standing and headbanging I did. All in all it was a great night. Probably the most fun I've had in a long time. In a way it kind of felt like going to my first rave.. Meeting new friends, hanging out and rocking out all night. ^__^ Already plan on saving up for a possible retour. ^__^ AND GOSH DARN TOOTEN DAMNIT MISS CHAMPLOO BETTER BE THERE WITH ME! note: *lets her little secret inner fangirl out* I really wish I would've yelled out Kaoru Aishiteru. LOL. *shoves the fangirl back in and acts all cool* 8)

 

[Riyko]

They did play a new song in LA as well. Champloo they didn't play Obscure at the LA show. Anything else I can say, I was stuck next to a 13 year old girl and her boyfriend in line making out >_<

 

[Nana007]

I just want to ask, if anybody knows how to do this. If Dir en grey tours Japan, I really want to go to one of their concerts, how do you go about getting the tickets. I only of the Special offer lottery, but how exactly does that work. And how much of a chance would I have for getting tickets. Or is their another way. Its like after I saw them once, they have instilled this fever in my blood and the only cure is to see them live again. It would probaly be cheaper to see them In Germany, but I have already used alot of my Vacation time already, and I think that May is to soon to be taking another Vacation, (all though I only took 3 days off, and I think I have like 42 hrs left. But by July/Aug I should have more hours than that available. )

 

[boobiebutt]

um...yoshiki was at the la show by the way and diru said they enjoyed tour here....

 

[Nana007]

well if they come back I will of course go, but I want to see them in Japan, for two reasons 1. I have been wanting to go to Japan (and can finally afford it ) 2. I want to see the band in their own element. No matter how much they like performing in the U.S or Europe, Home (Japan) will always be the best.

 

[Kaine]

wooo... yea i heard yoshiki was there too =D serious tho??? hahah where tho? wasnt in the front??? i dunno... but did dir en grey really say they enjoyed it? i dunno i kinda felt like they didnt like us =P HAHAH

 

[drain_away]

omgomgomg, it was THE BEST CONCERT EVEEEEEEEEER!!!

j0ylucky: if it weren't for your beautiful make-up, i never would have found you guys, hahaha i love you tons! i'm sad we didn't spend more time together but you are freaking the coolest! <333

hide: lmao, you are like the funniest person ever. so was your friend, hahaha. you are so gorgeous and i love you! my friends thought you were really cool. (ps, the pictures are on their way, my friend still has to post them on her site. i'll post them asap, i promise!)

Kaine: omg, omg! you are so incredibly cool and i love you! i'm so happy i got to meet you! my xanga buddy XDDDi'm sad you weren't in the pit with me, but i'm so happy i at least got to see you. and if you every want to come to San Diego, let me know! we can do something. you are THE BEST!!

urgh...i am like...so dead and tired. i don't feel like writing a whole account because i already posted one on my xanga. so if you would like to go read it, feel free.

drain away's xanga site.

 

[boobiebutt]

um.....i dont wanna brag about it but my friend was at the la show.....he went to the back to smoke a cigarette behind the venue where there was no one and he saw yoshiki kaoru and die and traded cigarettes with them and talked to them.....im so jealous....i knew i shoulda gotten a plane ticket and saw deg in la when nyc was sold out.....i woulda been with my friend......and yeah......i wanna cry.....

and kaine im guessing yoshiki watched deg from like a vip section or something....he is like.....a god........lmao and he does live in la........and y wouldnt yoshiki see deg's first us tour? he did help produce gauze....

 

[Rancid__]

I'm saving money to see Dir en Grey in Germany. But I'm not sure I'm gonna make it becouse it's in May..Too fast for me to gather

 

[Kinsao]

@ Drain Away: who are you calling crazy?! huh?! :box: :angryfire: :nuts: :nuts:

I can't go to Dir in Europe this year as I'm sure I've said a million times ) but next time they go to Europe... when I have some more money... I will surely go... and if they ever came to the UK... why then... not only would I go insane but anyone would be welcome to stay with me... only... I think I could only fit *does quick count* about 20 people on the surface area I have

 

[Riyko]

i'd love to go see Dir en grey in Germany this year, but unfortunetly I can't because I have to get my butt in gear and get a job *_* I spent so much in L.A just the 3 days I was there. My mom said they come back to the US she's going to take me =) she loved the concert alot.

 

[POISONxIVY]

I don't get it. Why is it so hard to believe that someone went backstage? It is a concert, and every show does have passes...

 

[j0ylucky]

Mainly because many people can say they got backstage. Yes I do understand that people that know FWA or Warcon can get passes to get back there and blah blah blah.. but it is skeptical at times. *shrug* Just my 2 cents though.

 

[Champloo]

Hah that would be such an honour though. ^_^ I would remember that day for the rest of my life, because I look up to what that band does so much.

 

[dniwer]

HAHAHAHAHA! That girl's livejournal account of meeting Diru made me laugh so hard. I don't think I've laughed this hard in ages, haha. I don't know why that was so funny to me, but when I read the part about Shinya just straight up telling her "NO" when she asked for an autograph, hahahahaahaha, that's hilarious. Aw man, I hope I'm famous one day, just so that I can be an a$$hole and be like "NO" and walk away when people ask for my autograph, that'd be great. I know he probably wasn't being mean, there's probably a rule where they're not supposed to sign things (and Kyo was just like F the rules) or maybe he didn't understand what she was asking or maybe he was a little freaked out by her, but I like the idea of him saying "NO" because he just didn't want to be bothered by her. Hahahaha, man, I don't know why that's so funny to me, I guess it's my inner a-hole coming out. Haha, loser...

 

[Placebo]

I went to the L.A show personally I think it should have had an age limit.

When I went there most of the people were waaaaaaaaaay under the age of 17 and they brought their mommy and daddy which made it hard for real fans to go up front because the pit was kids and parents.

My saga:
I took a taxi to the show and hopped out. I then realized I left my ticket in the cab.

I was like oh crap! so I ran around every establishment trying to get a computer to reprint.

Finally I went up front the ticket counter and they luckily they said they had more so I bought one.

Wehn I looked at the line there was a crap load of kids with their mommies and daddies so it went on as far as the eye could see.

I hopped in front and some kids dad was like "Excuse me I have been here for two days so may little girl can see the show"

I moved a little back and 12 year old girl with pink hair was like "I know you were not here move or else I will call security"

I moved some more and nobody said anything. I did get as close as possible but not in the pit. I was behind the big security guards.



I have a question the NY show pics are up on the DEG site when will the LA show pics be up?

 

[Placebo]

I am sad that the makeup is forever gone Die looked so hot with eyeliner. I seriously could not hear anything at the show except for the final my ears were shot but I did not care it was fun being in the same place as them.

I personally was not into Opiate for the Masses "Right Left Right Left" seriously what?

After the show which ended at around 11ish (?) I hung out at LAX. LAX is the only god damn airport I have seen where all the shops and food places close early. Arent Airports suppose to be 24/7 ?

 

[drain_away]

Most of the kids did not bring their parents in the show but at the end of the show there was like a sea of parents outside and driving around looking for there children. How retarded!

uh...i wouldn't necessarily say reterded. i'm 18 and i had my mom bring me because she drove my friends and i. she didn't go into the show and she didn't stand in line with us, but she did go with us. i don't really see why it's "retarded". whatever i have to do to get myself to the concert is fine by me. who cares if other people are like "ew that girl brought her mommy, how lame"? at least i'm at the concert, right?

also, airports aren't 24/7. it kinda sucks, but yeah. the last flight always leaves around 9-10ish, and even by then everything has closed up. don't know why, but i guess it'd be too much effort with all the different little shops to have it open 24/7. who knows?

also guys, i don't think an age limit would have gotten rid of everyone's parents, and that wouldn't have been why an age limit would have been put into place. it doesn't matter if people stand in line with their parents! at least their there, right? who cares?

er...sorry, i just realized i double posted. sorry, heh heh...
