X-Japan

[darknoonthirty]

seriuosly. it could be ANYBODY. execpt for l'arc en ciel.

oh dear..now im day dreaming. this could take a while

 

[Aoi.]

day dreamingg! always fun. I watched the funeral report video. And a bunch of girls were lying on the floor, crying and hugging hide plushies. =\

 

[darknoonthirty]

i can't watch it. well, i wateched one, it was one report, and i cried really bad. like i was gasping for air..it was bad.
i can't watch when its during the funeral and X sings..i just..can't do it. its too sad.

now im sad just thinking of it. [very sad face]

 

[SaKeVi]

yeah. i know what you mean, i just know that they were talking a lot about it and stuffness, there were no reports, that ive seen, about who they were thinking to sing...who knows what would have happened.

hide was supposed to be the singer of the new X in 2000, and that wasn't weird at all, he sang in X in some 80's concerts, when they made the 20th century boy cover... I'll upload that video for all of you, is one of those "rare" stuff of X

And the music idea was to move for something more "experimental", to fusion X Dahlia CD style with hide solo music style, because Yoshiki made all of X songs based on Toshi vocals, it would had been very interesting, but heh... we all know what happened.

i'd LOVE to hear some more stories from SaKeVi
is that possible?

☝ I thought they were going to be ignored hehehe.

Of course!! I'll try to post interesting stuff of them, or if any of you have a question, let me know!

does anybody here have the dvd of last live? i was wondering what is was like, if it was cut or edited in any way, becase i really want it, but only if its the whole, real, un-cut thing. well, im getting it any way, i just wanna know what im getting.

I have the japanese version of it, and it is cut, it doesn't have the last song, the concert "ends" with endless rain, that sucks!!! but hey, it has a bonus of the born of Violet UK on it...

But there is a SKY version of the Last Live, uncut and complete just as it was shown at PPV, it is on almost all of p2p programs, but be sure that it says "SKY" on it =P

 

[darknoonthirty]

[hugs SaKeVi something feirce] SHANK JOO!

X with hide singing would have been the most amazing thing...ever. espically with yoshiki's lyrics written for hide, oh dear, now im day dreaming again. this form is back for my health lmao.

and do you know if i can buy that SKY dvd? i can prolly get it on my p2p but i kinda wanna buy it. so i have it..iono, i'll see what i can manage. but thanls, i really wanted to know what teh dvd was about but nobody knows how to review dvds anymore. all the sites are fans saying omgz it was the best...and thats it..just tell me that its cut, im still gunna buy it.
and yes, i am crazy. but thats ok.

thanks again!

I know! I watched it and I was bawling. My mom was like "what?", but I just couldn't stop crying. It also happens when I listen to Forever Love (since it was sung at hide's funeral and all). I can't help it, hide makes me emotional.

 

[darknoonthirty]

it gets bad though, like i cant breathe then i start reaching out to the screen as if thats somehow gunna pull him back, i know, its nuts..but it reminds me oh so much of my two friends who died..and..my cousin, who died in a similar way to hide...so its really really hard for me to watch anything about his death...gah..its bad.
[more sad faces]

That's what my mom would say. *hugs you*

The Last Live was offered on Pay Per View by SKY, but there isn't an official release of the complete Last Live... you can probably find it on eBay or Japan yahoo auctions, but I'm not sure of the video quality or if it's recorded as a VCD =/

If you want my review of X-Japan Last Live, just don't expect me to be kind with it... unfortunately they just made another Dahlia Tour date with an extra song on it.

Aaaah by the way, a curious story about the Last Live: hide wanted to play stab me in the back on the show, and it was going to be played, but the petition wasn't accepted in the end, because it would probably be misunderstood... why?? Yoshiki didn't want people to think and relate that song with Toshi's attitude of leaving the band. Instead, they played Longing, also, with a related message (I'll sing without you...) of the disband on it.

See you later!!!

 

[darknoonthirty]

HAHAHAA...i love hide and yoshiki something feirce. well, i love X japan something feirce, but thats..hysterical.
and last live is more about what happens then what songs..iono, i just kinda wanted the whole thing, but im a crazy kook like that.

and aoi- thanks, and theres nothing really too say, my cousin was messed up, and nobody really knows if it was suicide or not, which reminds me of hide so much...and honestly i didnt make this parallel till i started talking about it, but it helps knowing that, cuz it makes it that much more...accessiable? i dont know, it just explains a lot.

like why i get SO emotional about it...gah..i need to stop thinking about this and think about the good.

like hide singing and dancing like the loon that he is. [smile] thats much better.

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

X is teh love. It's a shame a lot of people don't listen to them because they don't like the "old" style, but I tell you...it's a lot better that some stuff I hear today. Were would J rock be without X?

convulsing in a ditch dying somewhere. thats where it would be.

i've made it simple.
X Japan is my reason for living.

pfffft anybody who is all..but its ooollldd deserves nothing more than to be smaked upside the head, caleed a baka, and made to watch last live over and over and over.

 

[Aoi.]

Me and my sisters were like "ahaha, what a weirdo "

Pink hair! Whee.

Woow! But Longing fit perfectly in the Last Live hehe.

Another question for you, fellow X Japan fan. Was hide often drunk at the concerts? ☝

 

[haru_urara]

I want X back..

I agree, but with Hide it wouldn't be the same >.<
I wouldn't know which bassplayer I wanted back neither, since they were both awesome >.<

BTW, I LOVE your dp! ^^

 

[SaKeVi]

Another question for you, fellow X Japan fan. Was hide often drunk at the concerts?

Not really drunk, he was a total professional on stage, and gave his spirit in every concert he made with X, he really loved the band; in fact, he was the most affected member when X disbanded.

The one who showed up drunk once in a live show was......... Mr. Yoshiki!! have you ever heard of the Extasy Summit shows?? well, in one of the ES, he drank too much on backstage, and when all the musicians made the encore (Anarchy in the UK) he went out to stage drunk, with his unplugged guitar (as always, hahahaha) and after the show, he continued drinking, and created some troubles on backstage, to the point that he almost got into a fight with Screaming Mad George.

But hey, who could have said something?? he was the boss.

I wouldn't know which bassplayer I wanted back neither, since they were both awesome >.<

It must be Heath 100%, because Taiji "hated" that his music influences were never listened by Yoshiki, and because of that, he doesn't want to work with him again, unless Yoshiki accepts to work 50/50 on music creation, and we all know that will never happen, hahahaha.

Well, in fact, Taiji was originally a guitar player, he started playing guitar in punk bands as Mohorks and The Trash, then he moved to a metal band called Dementia, but they already had a guitar player, so he took the bass, and never drop it again by the way, his artist name used to be Ray, hahaha.

[worships SaKeVi]

how do you know oh so much? [is jealous]
i hope to one day have your wisdom

ok, forever ove and tears has me crying. again. i gotta stop this

oh, and yoshiki drunk makes me sad. but that nobody could say anything is kinda funny. sucky, but kinda funny.

 

[Anchyyy]

Waaahhh!! I would never thought Yoshiki would go drunk on the stage. That doesn't fit him at all.

*worships SakeVi*

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

SaVeKi...were you a member of X? ☝

I think it's outstanding how much you know and this stuff can't be found online. You must have either been with X or you know a member personally.

My my, Mr. Yoshiki was drunk, eh? You know...I wonder what he would say if I brought that up on his myspace???

 

[jounetsu]

*drumline*

SAKEVI, HOOOLY SAKEVI!



i wanna know more about hide! tell me something, sakevi, please!
that man is my hero. ahem was i meant to say haha.

and it was interesting to know that mr. yoshiki was more
drunk than hide hehe.

and i am thinking about the same thing too:

WAS SAKEVI A MEMBER OF X??

 

[Anchyyy]

WAS SAKEVI A MEMBER OF X??

We'll get the answer when he comes online I wonder how much other things does he know about X Japan... omg. I want to know like everything lol

 

[darknoonthirty]

SaKeVi must have been the lost X member. theres just no other way to explain it!

Yoshiki drunk kinda scares me..i dont know what that would entail...i always imagined him as a laid back drunk..well, honestly, ive never imagined him drunk. but iono..its werid.

and i know hide loved to drink, obviously, but like, when its brought up i cant help but get a teeny bit sad, cuz of how he died. i knwo its crazy, but so am i. its so weird, oh well. such is life.

 

[SaKeVi]

SaKeVi...were you a member of X?

Hahahahaha, that made me laugh a lot.

You must have either been with X or you know a member personally.

Who'll know exactly??

Naah, I know people who were involved in the whole 80's and 90's music scene, musicians and not musicians, specially from heavy metal and punk bands, that's why I know stuff that isn't online usually

My my, Mr. Yoshiki was drunk, eh? You know...I wonder what he would say if I brought that up on his myspace???

Just don't say where you heard that from

I'll leave more comments about X and hide later, I'm kind of busy right now, sorry =/

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

Of course it made you laugh. I'm that clever. j/k
Ah, I see. That's very cool. I wish I knew people who were involved in the music scene.
Please, keep us posted. X stories are ever so interesting. Thanks.
