Pandemonia Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Dir en grey is a japanese visual kei bad. This means that they're a japanese band tat rely on their style and lyrics to get noticed. But that doesn't mean that they aren't any good. Dir en grey is a great band that went from punkish and alternative beats like JESSICA, Embryo, Drain Away and Yokan, to gothic and metal, like their songs Merciless Cult, Obscure, Garbage and Spilled Milk. The band is a very stylish band, and the way they dress in certain videos can sometimes catch the eye of the person watching them. They base their songs on suicide, life, death, life of society, and sometimes they even base their songs on sex and self mutilation. They do seem like an emo band, but nonetheless, they're a very good band, and worth listening to if you don't mind trying to tolerate the vocals for a while until you get used to it. Most Americans can find it hard to get used to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemonia Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I really like Clever Sleazoid. THAT is a song with some good guitar riffs. Also Raison D'etre, because of the guitar solo. That's a sick solo.They're overall really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Nutz Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I like then... If only they weren't (in general) so close to gothic metal, they would be great... I kinda preffer non visual key bands, with songs a bit softer, like L'arc~en~Ciel, The Pillows, GLAY... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 To be honest, I've never heard any of their songs that I know of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentsLucrecia Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'll listen to Dir en grey once in a blue moon. Their music is great, though. I'd like to get a few more of their songs on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandemonia Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Yeah, they're really worth listening to. I like their old stuff a bit better, though. They've gotten a bit too metal for me. Kinda gets annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Kailo Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Not for me. I love DEG completely My favorite song has to be "The Final". Kyo is so cool! And so are Kaoru, Dai, Toshiya, and Shinya. (Heheh, I memorized who's who ^.^) Kyo and Kaoru mostly. and Kaoru mainly. ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Faith Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 They are pretty cool. I really enjoy the song 'embryo', it is great. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandemonia Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yeah, Embryo's really good. I thought it would be a bit more heavy, though. And The Final is good, too. My favorite song by them is either Ain't Afraid to Die, Clever Sleazoid, or Raison D'etre. Good songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've been needing some new music, so I checked them out.I understand none of it, but that's never stopped me from anything.ETA: They are also hot. Especially Toshiya. Holy crap, it should be a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivi Kailo Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 EO: just because I can't understand it didn't stop me from buying one of their CDs. Ooh, you like Toshiya? Kaoru's gotta be my favorite guitarist, and Kyo's good at singing.Heh, If you like, I can give you a website that's PACKED with Jrock personality tests. PM me if you're interested.

† Emotional Outlet Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 The other night I took quizzes on Quizilla on whose bum and penis I own. I don't remember who I got for the first one, but apparently I got all of them on the penis one. <.< It told me I was a sexual deviant.
