about X

Ah oke. If it's something between them that won't allow them to work together in any way then it would be best not to force them to work together. It might lead to even more friction, and that's the last thing they both need of course.

Hehe Well, it is true that you're as young as you feel, so as long as Hitomi feels you're 23, you are 23. You're the same age as me then Then, in that spirit of thinking, why don't you bring your band to my country, and perform for me Hitomi??? I'd like to hear, and see you play the drums

Any one watch the first X-JAPAN reunion show??? That hologram of hide was awesome. Sucks that Yoshiki colapsed on stage, but he seems to fine now. Be strong Yoshiki!!! *thumbs up*

Also, they seem to be coming to Europe as well. Good stuff.

Dude, they got soooooo much shit for that show, I haven't dared to watch it yet, even if I have the whole show in great quality on my computer.
Apparantley the show was be lated and the audience had to wait for 2 hours AFTER the concert should have started outside the venue in pouring rain.

I haven't heard nice things about this concert at all, but I guess I'll watch it soon anyway...

hoho, Unfortunately, it is a usual thing for them.
Old fans know it well and they were alwayz patient for long time.
But I think young fans were surprised at it this time.

The postponement, cancellation and delay are quite X (Yoshiki) thing, actually...
(But this delay is not for Yoshiki, hehe. It was for other reason. )
We used to say "AXL Rose or Yoshiki"

I've never seen this shows yet though, I heard Sugizo helped them.
It's nice ( for old fans and HIDE's fans... )

Anyway, X Japan will play in Paris and NY soon.
I dont welcome their re-union thing at all though...
I wanted oversea ppl to see complete X ( Yoshiki, HIDE, Toshi, Pata and Taiji or Heath ) in their greatest era.

You should see it Hitomi. It was a great show. hide was present a lot.

I didn't like that whole "hologram" thing they had going on with hide-sama.
It felt a bit too much.
Thousands of pixels on a pillar-looking thing can't never ever replace a human.
I would have liked it more if they had just placed one of his old guitars on his place on stage, and let SUGIZO play hide-sama's parts.

Also, I laughed quite alot when Yoshiki was thrasing his drums after "Silent Jealousy" and got stuck in the drums and fell.
It looked so god damn funny.

I don't welcome their re-union either.
That's why I'm not going to their Paris show.
My brother's going, though. He and his friends are going to try to get tickets.

My brother is a very big Yoshiki fan, he claims that Yoshiki is the reason he started to play drums, so I can understand that he wants to see him in action.

But for me, the thought of a decent X re-union died with hide-sama...
Yoshiki should just focus on S.K.I.N. or V.UK instead. :

I watched some pieces at Youtube,
Some were good, but some were not...
( I couldn't watch all, cuz....it is hard to see them without HIDE, you know)

I knew Yoshiki and Toshi couldn't play ( sing ) like before anymore...
But I.V. was very good, especially Sugizo played it very well by his style.

They announced they add new member as 6th member.
( HIDE is always one of members, so....Yoshiki said " 6th member " )
I hope Sugizo will join them, but I don't know.
I cannot accept other guitarist as X's member...
Actually Sugizo fits them by various reasons.
He was a best friend of HIDE and his musical taste fits Yoshiki's well.
His background are Classic music and Gothic Rock, it is quite Yoshiki's taste.
I wanna see both of them play transparent musical instruments as I wrote before.
It will be really gorgeous!!

Supposedly, people that been to the shows say that the third night is the best one. Toshi's voice was at his best that night. Can't wait to see the other nights. Did you know that they announced the "hide tribute summit"??? It's two days of performances by bands related to hide. The second day features X-JAPAN, and LUNA SEA. Dir en Grey are also supposed to be there. Perhaps Hitomi should be there as well, because you are a big part of hide's life. Would be very fitting I believe

Though I wrote long reply to Gabbi, it vanished
Anyway, I wrote about " tribute summit " there, so I know, Leo
It will be great surely...

I'm sorry COLOR doesn't play there.
Cuz COLOR was real friend band for X, Luna Sea was real little brother band.
COLOR also lost their bassist Mary by motor cycle accident, and they don't play anymore...so, the leader Dynamite Tommy ( Dir's producer ) makes Dir play there instead of COLOR. It will be nice

Maybe I will not attend any gig of X anymore,
But I will watch those in the movie or something

HIDE and Yoshiki are alwayz in my secret jewel box.
They are always young and beautiful in my memories.
I wanted to see more that they were together...

Yes, I read about COLOR as well. Very sad. Maybe they will make guest appearances.

Unfortunately, they will not...
I think they support tribute summit though

I miss COLOR as well as Old X...
They was funny but aggressive and great band...

They're a good band indeed. I'm listening to their song "THE EXHIBITION" right now. Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLWP138BBuA

Also, they have a masked Toshi
