X Japan
- Thread starter Dawn
- Start date
X is a definately a band that no other bands can compete. Yoshiki's drumming and music ( especially the part where he blends classical piano and rock music together ) is a speciality of X/X Japan.
A great fan here, have a lot of X Japan rare videos and Mp3s. Feel free to visit my webbie to see my list.

Well, its a preference thing.
Many facets of music, X-Japan is cool, nice songs, cool people/visuals, quite technical stuff too. A good mix.
If you base it on just technicality, I guess its very hard to beat classical music. Its the MOST technical of the lot. But not alot of people appreciate it.
For me, it was great, enjoyed X-jap immensely during my teen days.
PS: Jeifen...u're really a sucker for convention huh....hahaha...HiDe hIdE hiDE.... :twisted:

Yes classical is the hardest one. Just for example, if you study Fugue in Gm, the only i can think is the composer (J.S Bach) is amazing.
Anyway doesnt X Japan is a mixture of classical too?
Fugue In Gm (JS Bach) - Rose Of Pain (Yoshiki)
Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven) - Alive (Yoshiki)

haha yes...yoshiki can really play Baroque songs well. Esp the "voices" in Bach pieces(how you're supposed to sing the notes)..his trills are perfect too..plus his flair for speed..definitely well suited for Baroque pieces.. Budden again, Yoshiki's no prodigy. Just a guy who works really hard *wonders if he was self-taught*
classical music is generally un-dissable..it has survived centuries..wad else can we say right? i think not a lot of ppl appreciate it cos u need lots of training to be able to truly understand. no lar...if u are a hide fan u'll definitely spell his name in the way he wanted it to be spelt right?
sLapshock..ohmigod..u have so many videos!!!!! *squeals like a rabid fangirl* ...but how do i get them??can we trade?? U have so many..i this music station programme which is about 1hour long with various performances ..one of my favs is Yoshiki's Unfinished solo..the one where blood drips on his white grand piano..and the Violet UK symphonic concert 2002(think those are the only X stuff u dun have).
CDs...I have Pierrot's ID Attack, X's Vanishing Vision, Jealousy, DAHLIA, and the Indies of X Cd released by Taiji recently...would you be interested?

Yeah, but I guess the melody is very important for conventional listening. Sometimes classical music gets too technical with their motifs...shapes...phrasing and all....
X has really caught my heart strings.... actually I caught them in around 91 to 92 when I watched an Anime with the theme song I think.....or a show, can't remember.
as for the spelling, OKOK!!! I give up, give respect to my fav. visual ROCker... hide!!!!

I am going off-topic.....but anyone heard of Tony Mcalphine?????? Virtuoso of both guitar and keyboards. He plays backing guitar for Vai and is even more technically proficient than a certain Yngwie Malmsteen. The amazing thing is, he is even better on keyboards. His piano pieces absolutely rip! Man..life is unfair.

But dun expect to sound like Yoshiki....the scores are different from the recordings, and well..live performances..we all know how Yoshiki adds a lot of fancy stuff that makes the song rock...
