J-Rock Sensation "DIR EN GREY" at Wacken Open Air!

[TheSeventhOne]

If they're not going to affect your time at Wacken and you're not going to watch them, why bother fucking moaning about it?

I personally love Dir en grey, they are my favourite band on the line-up and I shall be watching them no matter who they clash with. Just because they don't sound like Iced Earth doesn't mean they don't have a place at Wacken.

Search for them on Myspace. They sounded pretty piss poor to me. There's a quote on their page talking about how they offer an exciting live show, with themes of hurt and self harm, with bloody onstage action or something. Atleast any kids turning up for Bullet can pick up some pointers.

If I remember the review a friend of mine gave the gig she saw correctly Kyo claws his chest to ribbons on stage.

While I'm pleased to see Japanese bands playing europe I can think of so many jrock bands that are better than these and would fit in with the rest of the lineup more, especially after listening to Withering To Death. However, Dir en grey are extremely hyped outside of Japan so what can one expect... I suppose they're somewhat better than BFMV at least.

 

[PrettyStupidGirl]

Their new album is supposed to come out in Europe in March I think...so who knows it'll sound different from Withering to Death, none of their albums really sound alike...so who knows.

Boris would be awesome, but I don't think they've ever played outside of Japan...or hell if they're even together anymore, I only have a few of their songs.

Well, Boris toured England last year. It was only a small club tour, but they fucking ruled, and were lovely people to boot. They are still together and putting out about three records a year. Incidentally, if you don't have their latest collaboration with SunnO))) (and like drone) then get it. Also -flood- is essential.

Boris playing ought to be very possible, they did say that they wanted to come for another English tour soon.

BORIS would fucking kick ass, ive heard sunno))) are good but i cant find there music ANYWHERE!

 

[Spindelta]

Southern Lord is run by one of the dudes from SunnO))), so you can find most of their stuff on there.

Also, if you live in England, then any decent sized Virgin Megastore or HMV should stock their last two or three releases, including the collaboration with Boris.

Or you could visit their myspace:

Wooow im soo hyper about the fact that Dir en grey will perform at Wacken!!! Just heard the news today. They are my all time favourite band! I will be at Wacken for sure!

And don't bitch about them or their music!

I completely agree with TheSeventhOne, if you don't like Dir en grey's music then fuck off and wipe!!!!!

Diru rocks!!!

Finally, my all time favorite band is coming to Germany!!! I'm so psyched out!!!!! DIRU ROCKS!!!!!

And for Random_dude_667:
Everyone has got some sort of favorite band, but that doesn't give you the right to talk trash about other bands, in your case Dir en Grey. If you're gonna diss them, at least give us some solid motivation as to why you don't like their music, I'm sure your vocabulary is more elaborate than just, and I quote: "And they are, evidentally, shit...."

 

[Purge]

All I can say is thank fuck for Iced Earth!

I'd just like to add here that i'm not dissing any of the people who want to watch them. They just aren't my thing. At least it's not Trivium...

In Random's defence, his music taste is very varied, and at least he gave them a shot.
I've attempted to listen to them and can honestly say it's not my thing.
But hey, like 'PrettyStupidGirl' said, all of their albums are different, so chances are the new one will be a bit more likeable (in mine and Random's eyes). Hell, if they have a bloody stage show then they can't be that bad

 

[Spindelta]

I saw Amen once, years back. Casey Chaos cut his arms up on stage. It was pretty fucking lame.

 

[zombiecag]

Thinking about it, the people bitching about DEG playing should enjoy the show, too.. if the singer cuts himself up onstage then you'd be watching a guy you don't like being harmed and bleeding on stage...

If only Panic! at the Disco did that when I had to watch them live...
