Dir En Grey Realeased in the States

Guild_Premier_Ghaleon · Fri May 11, 2007 7:45 pm

The latest Dir En Grey album was released in the states on February 20th of this year, and as far as I know save for Japanese imports it is the first American print out there. These guys are one of the few J-Rock bands I like, and this album just blew me away, it was fantastic. Does anyone else have any comments about this? What did you allo think of it? Also, FYI, for my fellow Diru fans out there, they're also going to be openning for the Deftones in an upcoming tour this year, so keep your eyes peeled!

japanese music is WAY out of the norm in the US. i'm curious to see how well sales are here. i don't know anyone that listens to japanese music legally.

Yeah, they're freakin' daffy in concert. I'm a hardcore Diru fan to be sure, just got tickets for the Deftones concert on the seventeenth. Can't wait.

Yeah, I saw them in concert in February, absolutely amazing. My sister works with Dir en Grey. She went on tour with them during the Family Values tour last summer. They're really sweet. She'll be working with them again on this Deftones tour. I'm so jealous, she gets to work with all kinds of Jrock bands. She's going to the Jrock Revolution concert in L.A. this weekend. I want to be there so bad!

so the group speaks english or she speaks japanese?

Eh, half and half actually. The lead singer Kyo doesn't speak a lick of English, but Dai the guitarist can. Their English varies from each member lol. My sister just completed her third year of Japanese, so she speaks the language decently. With their powers combined, they get by the evil language barriers.

As rad as Dir En Grey are, I wont be happy until I see a Pillows album released over here.

I saw them when i went to the Family Values tour with Korn. The audience hated them, kept booing and stuff. i think they were pretty cool tho, kinda calm on stage but they were ok

not a shocker. i wouldn't expect an audience of korn fans to show respect.

Korn is musically inferior, thus, they attract a crowd that is intellectually inferior.... WOW! Life imitates art!

I'm actually not a Dir En Grey fan, I just think that Korn is terrible.

That's hysterical, because Korn LOVED Dir en Grey. They partied a lot together while on tour. My sister has some video of Korn in DeG's bus during one of these parties. Very funny actually.

So... because I like some of Korn's music, I'm stupid?

Oi, what is it with everyone these days? So sensitive. Phyco, if you can't take a prod, let it go or I will be forced to make you eat one of your friendship rings.

I dig some Korn, but alot of it doesnt do all that much for me. As for people booing them, thats just ridiculous. Even if you dont appreciate the music, you have to appreciate the fact that they are artists and have certainly made a name for themselves, especially if their influence extends over here to the states.

No thanks, I'm quite content on not letting things go.

To be truely honest, I wasn't hurt by the comment, but I thought that since I do like some of Korn's songs, I would ask that

Most of it was sarcastic, actually all of the first bit was sarcasm. The only non-sarcastic bit was the last part. C'mon, you've been posting with me for a good 10 years at least, you should know these things by now.

if i DID like any of korn's songs, i still wouldn't go to a concert due to idiots.

phyco126 · Post by **phyco126** » Thu May 24, 2007 2:55 am

I wouldn't go to a concert for any person, I'm very anti-large amounts of people.

Ozone, why do you think I didn't get mad/hurt? Though, for the record, sarcasm is just a tad difficult to detect in written form, and on the internet no less.

Not quite 10 years though, I haven't quite been around that long. *says the guy with the long grey beard and white hair*
