Yoshiki

[SaKeVi]

i dont know though, my opinion could have changed if i had listened to them from the beginning... i only got introduced in like, this september =(

Probably not, unless you were looking for something different, like keeping into Jun career (Rommel, Emperor...) Kerry (Mein Kampf...) or any other member that joined or created Nazi bands hahahaha.

and plus, yoshiki's the one out there that keeps doing stuff. living and acting in america might also be a big factor.

Hey!! that's not true!!

Taiji - He's still playing with D.T.R. nowadays
pata - He's also playing and touring with Ra:In (december 29th... damn, I wish I were there )
Toshi - If you call him, he will sing for you!! (check his homepage =P)
Heath - He's into graphic arts and also has a group called Lynx
hide - Well, right now it looks like he's resting in peace, and we don't have people making money thanks to his dead... until a "new CD" comes out.

Well, mainly them... some other ex-members are still on music scene, but who cares about them?? the only one that became a big loser is Hikaru (bass) the last time I heard about him he was a gambler and an alcoholic...

Heh, this should go on X threat... so I'll keep on topic: Yoshiki sucks!

 

[Anchyyy]

And i'll keep on agree Sakevi. Althou i like him as an artist, but he sucks as a human ^^

Toshi - If you call him, he will sing for you!! (check his homepage =P)

HAHAHAHA!! Is that what is left of his "career"?

Heh, this should go on X threat... so I'll keep on topic: Yoshiki sucks!

And there I have to disagree with you, Yoshiki isn't half as bad as some of the rockstars today who don't give a flying **** about their fans...

 

[Anchyyy]

Have you ever thought why does he give care about his fans? It brings him a lot of money.

Don't all of them want to make money?
Atleast he is nice to the fans that burn their money on his products.
As I mentioned, not all of them are. You buy their DVD, CDs and other crap and they behave like total *******...

 

[Anchyyy]

Yeah you've got the point here. But anyways... I remember in an interview around year 2000 he claimed that he is still hurt, because of what happened with X Japan and with hide and on the other side, he wanted to make a lot of money by selling various X products. Why if the wounds are still not healed? Why did he care to open them again? For money?

 

[SaKeVi]

Hey child_prey, are you Ingrid??

By the way, you answered one of your questions, check it out!!

Don't all of them want to make money?

HAHAHAHA!! Is that what is left of his "career"?

Toshi makes music to heal people, you know, all that new wave stuff... I'm not sure if that works or not, but at least he is making what he wants and enjoy, and he isn't looking for money.

Eventhough he isn't as famous as he used to be, I think and say that he is the member who has more sucess after X disbanded, and I'm not talking about money issues, that's bullsh*t

And there I have to disagree with you, Yoshiki isn't half as bad as some of the rockstars today who don't give a flying **** about their fans...

Good publishers and managers tell him what to say and do, in order to keep fans happy, he changed his image and he can't be f*cking around with fans because of his good image nowadays...

Check this out, I uploaded this pics of Yoshiki before 1985, when he was trying to be a punk hahahaha:

See you later!!

i totaly agree with you

 

[Broken Rose Ren]

You know...I respect Yoshiki. I don't agree with some of his actions during his career because he whored X, IMO. I mean, X Japan Curry? It could be for the money or because he doesn't want folks to forget about X...I dunno.

I can't say he sucks and that he a horrible human because I respect him to much as a musician and I don't know him personally. I've just come to accept him as the businessman he is, he looks to make money even if that means whoring out his projects.

Now, about Toshi. Honestly, I'm happy that he is doing something he cares about, something that he is passionate about. Because he sure wasn't happy after a while in X. So my hats off to him.

Well well seems like here each one has a different opinion. I respect that...saying Yoshiki San is a terrible human well...I dont really agree with that...murderers are terrible humans, ppl that hurt others are terrible. But selling those kinda stuff...I dont think is right... because yeah I respect X-japan too much to buy X Japan Curry...but its not like he's hurting somebody.

Anyways I dont want to discuss just wanted to gave my opinion about the topic heheh. So I read that Yoshiki San is making this research in some hospitals and universities in the US about the relationship between music and the human brain, I find that interesting what do you guys think?? Im curious lol

 

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

i agree with you JoRuDeNnA......

 

[JoRuDeNnA]

i agree with you JoRuDeNnA......

Thanks Im glad u do hehe , I really respect Yoshiki San very much, dunno about his personal life/errors/etc... honestly that's something I really dont care THAT much since music is what made me like him and he's (in my opinion) a musical genius :haihai:

 

[Child_prey]

Hey child_prey, are you Ingrid??

See you later!!

No I'm not Ingrid
And even if other people do tell him what to say, to be honest, I don't really care. Just the fact that he sits down and takes 2 minutes of his time about once a month to write a blog entry for us makes me respect him tremendously. I realise he is doing so to get people's eyes on Violet UK but still... It makes my day to read his words and call me gullible if you like but I feel that there is a part of him that does appreciate his fans and our support.

, I really respect Yoshiki San very much, dunno about his personal life/errors/etc... honestly that's something I really dont care THAT much since music is what made me like him and he's (in my opinion) a musical genius :haihai:

Right on!

i have to agrre with you on this one as well....he is a genius piano player....


btw: why is i one of only a few males writhing in this thread????

 

[Anchyyy]

I think because there are not a lot of male jrockers here anyway...

 

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

you brobobly have right Anchyyy

 

[SaKeVi]

I think because there are not a lot of male jrockers here anyway...

Here and anywhere... the only place I've seen a lot of japanese rock fans (and fanboys) is Chile. Damn, Visual Kei in that country is becoming a religion!! you can see them everywhere, everytime, everyday.

And I was posting here to criticize Yoshiki

 

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

criticize him all you want SaKeVi...but admit the fact that he is a genius piano player....

 

[SaKeVi]

criticize him all you want SaKeVi...but admit the fact that he is a genius piano player....

I really want to learn to play piano, but I don't have the time... why I'm saying this?? I have to recognize that I started to play drums thanks to him many years ago, but then I found out how bad he was as a drummer

I will be very dissapointed if I find out the same thing with piano =/

 

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

but you will not find out that...becouse unlike his drumming talent...he is good at playing piano...

 

[Child_prey]

That was a joke right??!!
The whole that he is a bad drummer thing?

 

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

i was only refering to SaKeVi...he said Yoshiki was a bad drummer and was afraid to findout he also was a bad piano player...but personaly i thing he's a good drummer and a good piano player

Huh?? I don't know, maybe I have more skills than Yoshiki on drums: I find his drum tabs quite poor and repetitive, he uses the same structure over and over... there are maaaany things to criticize, but he has charisma and appeal, that's why he looks like a good drummer, eventhough he isn't.

Have you heard Silent Jealousy intro?? have you heard Dahlia intro?? have you heard Weekend (in the middle part where Toshi sings: "weekend, I still love you") put the 3 songs together and you will hear the same drum redoubling.

That's not being creative, he just recycled lots of tabs... here's where his backup band (yeah, the other music players like Pata) save him with an amazing melody.
