I just listened to a few of their songs and they SUCK! What fun is a bunch of crazy guitars and drumming and some guy growling "****" over and over again at you? How stupid. Maybe you just like it 'cuz you can "mosh" to it... haha this little fad will pass soon hopefully.
Oh and the masks! Oh how cool... some masks that have pointy noses or look evil... how stupid. But then again if I played that music I wouldn't want to show my face either.
A bunch of noise can only satisfy one for so long. If you ever feel a need to listen to some real rock music try Dir en grey. Not only do they have elaborate costumes that aren't always made to exactly "scare" people, they play MUSIC too! With defined melodies and stuff! It's amazing isn't it? You Slipknot fans should give "mitsu to tsuba" a listen, that's rock music, right there. Not this... um... garbage that barely passes as music.
My list of recommended Dir en grey songs: Cage, hotarubi, ain't afraid to die, ZAN, myaku, [KR]cube, Erode, GARDEN, yokan, AKURO no oka, [S], raison d'etre, Berry, riyuu, Hydra, and basically everything else. They rarely write bad songs.
Do whatever you'd like just don't delete this message, I'd like people to see it. Ban me whatever, I don't care, I just felt like being a total *** and taking it out on this crappy band that's such a fad these days :)
