Dir En Grey

SO what does everyone think of this band?

recently A friend at work (best buy) loaned me there MTV collection DVD and I actually like the music and videos a lot.

reminds me of what NIN would have been if they came out in the 80's. I guess the best way for me to describe them is a Pop Gothic band.

I see several people using there images as sigs. "filth" i am told is one of there beter songs. I just order the "Embryo" single.

how long have they been around anyway, are there other jpop bands with a similar style and sound of play. Have they ever played in the US? Thought I might check them out if they do a concert here.

there are only 2 that are the best.....
- X-Japan ( with late ol' hide )
- Glay ( with takuro and hisashi )

both are influenced in alot of punk.....

DEG fucking rocks, I read the review they had in new grave magazine, and I like there over all style.
Sea of retards I do not reccomend tho, scares the shit out of me.

All depends on your taste, but no way in hell are they as good as X. Yoshiki sponsored them, so they are in damn good hands.

Rest in peace Hide you will be missed.
