Yoshiki, the drummer has continued as a songwriter and producer and his is one that is the inspiration for the neck collar in Headbanger. X Japan was scheduled to be the first band from Japan to play Wembley Arena. Instead it was Babymetal, Yoshiki was in England at the time and met with Su, Moa, Yui and the band, congratulating them. To say the girls and the band were excited and honored is an understatement. So here you go; X Japan Jade live - th-cam.com/video/mq4_xIewIxQ/w-d-xo.html
Watch the last live, then watch the documentary and watch it again. It has such a different feel to it. I love this band so much, Hide is the reason I picked up guitar years go. Really with he was still around, I would love to see what he was doing musically
BabyMetal's Akatsuki has some homage to X-Japan, especially this song Kurenai. Even the scream "Akatsuki daaaaa" is borrowed from "Kurenai daaaaa" (Slightly better quality) X Japan - Kurenai Live 1989 (Blue Blood Tour - 爆発寸前ＧIＧ) th-cam.com/video/_7Uao7lrSxo/w-d-xo.html (Better quality) X JAPAN 1994 白い夜 紅 (中日字幕) th-cam.com/video/EECtraE8mdk/w-d-xo.html The creator of BabyMetal Koba Metal is a huge X-Japan fan. Even the ending chant of BabyMetal "We are BabyMetal" is also borrowed from them "We are X". The neck brace (corset) worn by the drummer is also the inspiration of BabyMetal corset in HeadBanger and also in the song BabyMetal Death (BabyMetal lore). That is how big there are in Japan.
I'm sure this has already been mentioned since this video has been out for a year and a half but the last live is pretty much everyone's go to. The reason for that being that it's basically the best quality that you're going to find of the FULL band before member loss. There are other versions of this song with a piano/violin intro which is really nice, and the quality really is nicer, but you don't get that pink spider grin. Yoshiki on the drums is classically trained and really puts a lot into the composition of these songs. It's a shame that audio and video quality is what it was at the time. I would have loved to have heard the FULL band with modern tech because I know Yoshiki really would have brought out the most of the sound from every instrument. Even with so much going on and the low quality, you can still hear so much of what's going on and that would be even more the case with today's tech. We have had confirmation almost 2 years ago that they have a new album that is done and are just waiting for the right time to release it. I'm thinking it might be a 25year memorial celebration for hide's death which was in 98. Sadly that would be a wait till 2023 so I'm hoping that's not the case.
This was there last live together before they broke and their two guitarist died Hide and taiji but they got back together in 2009 here's another good song from X Watch "X Japan - Sadistic Desire (Single Version)" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/N5rKh9mFYag/w-d-xo.html. Hide also had two solo bands before he died those two bands were Hide with spread beaver then Hide's English band Zlinch 123
I love the version of Forever love they do in this concert. Love this band. They don't get enough credit. You should check out their song IV. It's the soundtrack for the movie SAW IV th-cam.com/video/Nx1scUpPaGI/w-d-xo.html
Tks for the reaction and sorry for the bad quality audio. I wanted to send you this one, even being old, cause it was a really meaningful concert.. the last one before the band breaks up and Hide died (pink haired guitarist). In 2008 they picked a new guitarist and reunited to release new stuff and tour around the world, but although there's some great new songs and videos, the 90s were their golden age imo.
Well, it’s difficult to find a live performanced of them that has no audience screaming…..thats how they are loved…Once they got into d stage, d whole audience got wild. So impossible to find a video without screaming.unless u gonna watch their ballads or studio
There is this thing in Japan where they are using X Japan in the music industry on the timeline, there is music before X Japan and music after X Japan, they are the most influental band in Japanese music history. Please react to more of them. PS. We dont care bout the quality of the sound that much, rather react to Live shows rather than studio.
@@johnbalaya5230 hide and Manson were also friends. Hide took massive inspiration from Manson just take a look at all his photo shoots and his mannerisms. hide would also always talk about Manson in interviews.
You want a better sound? Well, then I can only recommend the cover of this song by a band called 'Nemophila'. As far as the instruments are concerned, their version doesn't have to hide from the original. As for the lyrics, it has to be said that their singer sings them completely by ear, as she speaks almost no English. So this comparison should be left aside. Nevertheless, I think their cover is phenomenal. 🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
You know that was their last live. They don't play anymore. They were very influential to rock/metal in Japan. The Japanese equivalent of bands like Metallica to the Japanese people. Biggest band in Japan. Unfortuantely the guitarist Hide took his own life. And the drummer now cannot walk properly and do strainful activities because he drummed himself into a wheelchair. He drummed so hard in every performance that his back couldnt take it anymore. They are veterans in Japanese metal. They influenced alot of the bands like The GazettE and Dir En Grey. They also made Visual Kei style popular.
Hate to be that guy but X Japan reunited in 2007 although they haven't done anything since 2018. Yoshiki (the drummer) is perfectly fine besides the fact his neck is mangled and he has tendonitis which makes it hard for him to play piano at times. His days are pretty much numbered as a drummer and pianoist. EDIT: or his days have past but he refuses to give up.
i cried when i watch their dvd We are X....their story just like roller coster
Yeah me too, its so amazing yet so...
X japan is one of the best bands in japan.
@@1211jinx one of the best bands in the WORLD
Thank you!
I love this band.

The neck braces Babymetal wears in Headbanger and other songs is a tribute to this drummer.
Entire Babymetal songs are tribute to X Japan. Like Akatsuki.
Akatsuki solo sounds similiar like silent jelousy. Both is awesome
I think quite a lot of things Babymetal do are tributes to X.

Try 80s-90s live, art of life1993, weekend 1990, also rusty nail 1997 and silent jealoust around 1991-92
This was there last live together before they broke and their two guitarist died Hide and taiji but they got back together in 2009 here's another good song from X
Watch "X Japan - Sadistic Desire (Single Version)" on TH-cam

BABYMETAL AKATSUKI
X JAPAN KURENAI
Hide and Manson are friends
I think you mean yoshiki and manson
@@johnbalaya5230 hide and Manson were also friends. Hide took massive inspiration from Manson just take a look at all his photo shoots and his mannerisms. hide would also always talk about Manson in interviews.
the JAPAN Best artist
I think for being a video from 1997 it’s good

You should check out We Are X on Hulu.
You know that was their last live. They don't play anymore. They were very influential to rock/metal in Japan. The Japanese equivalent of bands like Metallica to the Japanese people.

I edited my comment with some more info
he neck and hands couldnt take it anymore but still playing because music is he´s escape from bad memories from past
Hate to be that guy but X Japan reunited in 2007 although they haven't done anything since 2018.

@@nijitv1 yeah i was about to say they reunited and yoshiki is back on drums (although with a big cautionary note)
more X JAPAN
this is just a tutorial how fast you can empty a can of whatever...energy drink?

Whats Always about the crowd ???? Its about the music and Not crowd
