Dir en grey

[Haibane]

That's great news of Dir en Grey playing at Wacken!!! that'll be awesome to see them there! that's such amazing news.

 

[beau99]

hopefully they'll get a chance to rest from all of the touring and traveling they've been doing, they need it.

You honestly think they get tired from touring?

To be brutally honest, they don't tour near as much as most bands do.

 

[daki]

does anyone know if they'll have any autograph session for their up coming tour?
i don't want to miss the chance to get them to sign my diru collection......

I never said they get tired from touring, just that they should take a break to get some time to themselfs from all of the touring they've been doing lately so they get a break after their tour in March in Japan. Performing and flying wears you out and if your flying alot like they do jet lag comes really easy, it's harder on their bodys because their getting older.

Sure other bands do tour more then them, but alot of those bands are younger bands and can handle it.

I doubt they'll be doing an autograph session at any of the shows.

Wiltern has sold out. I'm terribly excited! This is their first tour as the headlining band in this part of the world and they are selling out venues. This means they have a fan base here (other than us totally dedicated ones) and they will come back! Plus I'm excited for the whole Japanese bands making their mark here. I think Diru may be opening some doors. It's brilliant!

 

[dirus_ninjou]

one can only hope that doors are being opened.

Wiltern sold out? cool.

I agree, Riyko, just because they aren't touring as much as other bands, it doesn't mean that they don't need a break every once in a while... to be able to spend time to themselves in their own homes, living from hotel to hotel is not always fun, nor is it healthy.

They put up a clip of the album version of Ryoujoku no Ame on the OHP. The bass line is even more kick *** and Kyo sings in a lower pitch. It's pretty awesome.

 

[Saishu]

Holy crap!

I knew about them re-recording Clever Sleazoid, but I didn't expect them to redo Ryoujoku no Ame as well. Unbelieveable... Kyo is actually... enunciating his words in this version!

 

[Bloodlust]

Incorrect. Just check Ticketmaster.
There are still plently left in the mezzanine section.
What has actually sold out are Toronto and now Atlanta.

The official Myspace (actually is... linked from their American label site) has it listed as "Sold Out". Maybe the mezzanine is considered really bad seats! Still, Atlanta and Toronto have and I'm excited nonetheless!

Yea i'm love with this album already by just hearing the clips lol.
I really do like the remake although I liked Kyo's singing in the single version too.

 

[mikichan]

i agree! i love the clips u can hear .. theyr really good! i can't wait till the album comes out!!!!
i know they don't tour as much as other bands ... but they r coming to toronto ... so im happy! they can take as many breaks as they want, as long as they dont all of a sudden stop this tour ...

 

[vicky666]

can anyone translate the lyrics of zomboid for me? i can only find the japanese versions, and desperately want to find out what is so dirty about this song (supposedly its dirty)☝

thanks

And is the toronto show sold out of something? because ticketmaster refuses to find tickets

 

[Saishu]

Here's centigrade's translation of Zomboid.

[IkaruJaki]

I've got to stop listening to the clips from the new album, it only makes me want it more, and NOW. And truth be told I'm not the most patient person when it comes to things like this.

By the way Saishu thanks for telling me about Ryoujoku no Ame on Saturday... yeah...

 

[vicky666]

thank you for the translation, it is kinda dirty i like it
so sad about not being able to go, my friends are going tho, do you know if they sell merchandise at hte shows?(cause in all the otehr ocncerts i';vebeen to they did)

 

[Placebo]

I am looking for an official t-shirt. Where online could I get one?

Ok never mind I see the free will website. Should have looked there first.

 

[Thalia]

02.03.2007 the new album from dir en Grey comes. The name is "The marrow of bone" XD I'm happy that they have a new album. What do you mean to this?

 

[Riyko]

Thalia
Are you talking about the european release that's coming out on 3/2/07? I think it's neat that their releasing all of their new singles and cd's internationally, yet I will still always buy the japanese release XD

 

[Precious4e]

SO....apparently some lucky people can meet Dir en grey

http://warconent.com/news.php?id=124

if you buy the presale album before the american release date you might be able to meet the band. On the 19th whoever is at that show will get a free copy of The Marrow of a Bone (US release i'm assuming)

 

[Precious4e]

^ I think the Warcon page said all venues up to Dallas..... ☝
It's all very confusing but it seems that they will do it at every show until the 20th....and only a few randomly selected people who bought the pre-sale album will meet the band.

so they should have finished their first show by now.....and its their 10 year anni. So Happy 10 Year Anniversary to Dir en grey! :cracker:

 

[beau99]

^ The m&g is for every show up to Dallas, except for Toronto. But that's because there's no FYE in Canada.

Kind of a Live Report

nward Scream Tour 07
So tonight was the kick off of Inward Scream's U.S tour. And I must say it was very nice. Not really a live report...more like random ramblings.

We (me and my friend Danielle) got there at 11 and met up with Polly and Alwin and theri friends. We were like 15th in line, so were guaranteed front row. We ate we waited...Danielle and I went to her car and took an hour nap we ate and waited some more. Finally they let us in. I ran to Die's side and got front row.

So after an hour the opening band comes on. Blead the Dream...EMO. Fair to Midland...really good music but the vocalists antics got on my nerves.

Then came Dir en grey. They opened up with G.D.S then a new song. I don't do setlists, but here are the songs I remember.

Mr.Newsman
C
Saku
Clever Sleazoid (last song)
Ryoujoku no ame
Agitated Screams of Maggots
Obscure
Shokubeni
IIID Empire
Dead Tree
The Final

A couple of new songs and some other WTD songs that I never remember the titles of. One of which he changed the lyrics to like he did in Japan. In one song Shinya had this really nice drum solo. Their are other Details but I am seriously too tired to recall.

As for the Members. Kaoru was wearing all black. He seemed really active but in all honestly I looked his way 3 times. During the encore he came to Dies side and did the I am a rockstar, love me pose and stuff. Toshiya was super bouncy like all over the place. He came on our side only once. but on his side he was allways moving. Kyo was...Kyo. He fish hooked, he cut himself, he threw his stand, he did the new crying/screaming thing he introduced in Japan. Shinya was...well AWESOME but then Shinya is allways AWESOME. Die was kind of dead. He didnt move, he didnt interact with the audience at all until the encore where he must have had some kind of expresso shot during the break because he came back full of energy.

After the show we went to an Izakaya. I had some Soba, Banana Tempura, and Onigiri. Then we came back to my friends house and I typed this and I will now go to sleep as I have to wake up early tommorow to go to Orlando.

 

[pixy_false]

Ah! There's so much more stuff I wanna comment on but I'm running late for work. Aaah! Kaoru all in black!! Sorry but that's all I have in my head right now.
Wow they played Obscure, sweet!
Thanks for the report Nana. Have fun!
Yes! They're still playing GDS!

Oh and I was listening to Grieve, and it sounds like Kyo finally learned how to say f**k!! lol

 

[Nana007]

I havent listened to the Leak. I am going to wait the extra few days to open my copy.

 

[mikichan]

that sounds so awsome!! i can't wait for them to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i could speed up time!
good luck to all the people who get the chance to meet them! hope ur the one called!
