TequilaSunrise said:I don't see what's wrong with Yoshiki not putting X Japan influences into Violet UK songs. They're two different bands, and although Yoshiki had once upon a time expressed the intention to revive X Japan with Hide, that is no longer possible. Hence, as much as we'd like to keep Yoshiki in our minds as the trash metal digtadigta of his earlier years and then the melodic pianist in the latter part of his X Japan career, Violet UK is a completely different project from X Japan, so I don't think it's appropiate to be criticizing Yoshiki's musical styles now - He never did say that Violet UK was an X Japan 2 did he?
I never say its wrong, i was replying to the previous guy. But i got the feel that yoshiki change his style for the market, not for what he wants.
Yoshiki himself said in his 2002 interview that he will make his new music as different as possible .... which will have no xjapan influence at all..
