X JAPAN

If you want to see what a real rock concert is like, you have to go and see X Japan perform one of their legendary live shows. Arguably one of the most influential bands to ever come out of Japan, the 5 piece band are renowned for their extravagant costumes, props, staging, and lighting throughout their shows.

The lights went down and strobes came flashing over the auditorium as the band made their way to the stage. Everyone was screaming and going crazy for the band as they held up their hands in the air and accepted the tumultuous applause. They opened the show with Endless Rain, and each musician took a lengthy solo on their instrument to welcome themselves to the show, whilst Toshi, the lead vocalist, was singing improvised sections over the top of their playing.

Although over the years the band have split up and got back together and have played through many genres of rock and metal, their recent show demonstrated a great variety of their work over the years and they really played to please the crowd. Their visual kei elements remained which was great, because of course that’s what drew people to them originally.

Was at their Wembley concert March 4th 2017;

Their music goes from beautiful classical piano to fast heavy/speed metal. Yoshiki (the leader) never releases anything until it's perfect which makes sense cause all of their songs are really good (especially the masterpiece "Art of life". if you get to hear this song live, feel privileged.) The amount of time they put into making their music is insane so when it comes to X Japan, you know you're getting some good quality music.

They are honestly one of the few bands out there that sounds much better live.

They're very skilled performers/musicians and it's just mind blowing seeing people like that live. On top of that, they're extremely humble (almost too humble (?)) if you think about their status, especially in Japan. They're basically seen as Gods.

Overall, X Japan concerts are fucking badass.
If you get the chance to see X Japan, grab it.

he asistido a varios conciertos en diferentes lugares del mundo desde un Tokio Dome, a un madison square Garden ; (Londres Arena,L¨Zenith de Paris, el Ultimo Coachella USA) todo es tan prolijo y perfecto en cada interpretaciòn desde lo grupal hasta los solos de cada miembro, la voz de Toshi tan particular y maravillosa hace que X Japan se un grupo único en el mundo, el sonar del piano de Yoshiki y la batería también ejecutada, y ni hablar del bajo de Heath y la guitarra de Pata, y quien puede borrar de su memoria las interpretaciones del Gran Hide, el el soñado violín de Sugizo , hacen de X Japan mágico. y el clásico #WEAREX de Yoshiki. por lo cual es mi grupo favorito y al que no cambiaría por ningún otro.
