i luv Pink Spider... i listen to it like 1000000000000000000000 times every day... IV was the first i'd heard, tho... like, i just went on myspace and looked up Yoshiki, cuz im a Gackt and Miyavi fan, and naturally i stumbled on the lil disaster that is SKIN (pretty to look at, but they dont have much chemistry together do they?) and well, i fell in luv with Yoshiki by the time he started *possibly* playing with his, er, drumstick, behind the drum set... but i figured him to be, like, closer to Meever in age than Sugizo... tho i admit i didnt really know who either of them was at the time... and i just fell in luv with X as soon as the piano began...
and from then onwards there was Standing Sex, and Desperate Angel, Kurenai, Endless Rain, Forever Love... everything else.... *sigh* They just dont make them like X anymore...
As for Gackt, I'd heard Sayonara first... right now I am really big on Jesus. Pretty Gackt. I actually didnt like the stuff he did with mm, but i liked some of the other mm stuff... although they used a drum machine in Beast of Blood, didn't they?? i dunno, i dont really know too much about them...
