Loved the reaction. Thank you! I think you would probably enjoy delving deeper into their discography. Different Sense is amazing in the studio version precisely because of the vocal layering which can't be fully achieved live (which doesn't prevent them from finding artistic solutions) but for the majority of songs I would recommend listening/watching live versions from the beginning because Dir en grey really is a live band and I think most of their songs are only 'completed' in a live setting, like they only show their full potential on stage. This is my first time on your channel and I'm not sure what kind of music you usually gravitate towards but I would really love to recommend two songs to you which I think would be interesting for a second reaction. The first one is called "Otogi" and comes from their latest (11ths) album _Phalaris_ . There are a couple of live versions already to choose from and some might not agree with me here because the one I'm going to suggest was recorded on a day where Kyo's voice wasn't at 100% but I think the mayority of fans agree with me that that's when Kyo is the most faszinating and the songs really start to unravel their pain- (ans in this case strangely hopeful) messages: th-cam.com/video/8YcQ8hIKmEU/w-d-xo.html the second one is called "Macabre" and was the title giving track of their second album (2000), the version I would like to recommend, however, is the 2013 extended version of the song which runs for 16+ minutes.That might sound long but you won't feel that. It's a but of an odd one within their discography and hasn't been played often due to its length. The version from Tabula Rasa is not only the best in my opinion, it also has a version with fairly decent english translation on TH-cam (btw. you can find almost all of their songs with englihs translations on Kaya's channel and quite a few with extraordinarily good translations on perixreloaded's channel. These channels are always worth to pursue if you don't know which version to listen to!) th-cam.com/video/PWI2PrpnFg8/w-d-xo.html And last but not least, in case you want to check out a live version of Different Sense, the one from Tabula Rasa is one of my favourites (yes, that was a phenomenal live recording ^^ - sadly the sound is a bit muddy on this youtube upload but it's not bad, just turn it a bit louder and maybe adjust the bass a bit in your settings - depending on your listening device): th-cam.com/video/tVnza2Hf684/w-d-xo.html
I really think you should dive into more Dir En Grey. I think it's right down your alley. Kyo is comparable to Mike Patton as far as vocals, just capable of crazy stuff along with growls and clean vocals. He is very theatrical live. Vinushka live from the Androgenous - a view of the acro tour would be a great one to react to but they have a ton of great stuff.
Another Japanese band with Mike Patton flavor is AILIFDOPA. “My Right Hand Thumb Is A Kraken” or their newest one “NEVES” are good exemples. But I’m not sure if the music will be at your taste.
Yasss ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 love the corpse paint btw❤❤ I've been a huge Diru fan since like early 2000s... I wanna say 2005-2006? Watching their music just evolve and take shape has been remarkable. I think Toshiya and Shinya are unsung heroes for their amazing evolution with the music, especially Shinya when he apparently isn't even a metal fan, more of a pop and jpop fan. But his drumming skills are so unique to the band. I will still argue that the album Arche is their peak and best of their work. It's like withering to death revolutionized
Amazing reaction!! They are so much better live ❤ i wont recommend a specific song i will let others do that or listen to the live version of this song, just make sure its live 😁
I think Uroko is a far better intro choice for dir en grey than different sense.😂 I also started liking dir en grey for their brutal songs but with time i think i love them due to their ballads.
Hell yeah! DIR EN GREY and the other singer's project Sukekiyo are golden experiences. For the other band Sukekiyo, I recommend Zephyr (live). Always check out live stuff with their music, in my opinion.
if you enjoyed this i would highly recommend listening to their song, diabolos, especially a live version, its an incredible song, probably my favorite from them.
Thank you Deyana for your reaction. I’m really glad that you liked them. Kyō, the singer, is an amazing vocalist and he’s certainly one of my favorite. Dir En Grey are categorized as Progressive Metal but they’re metal music genre goes from experimental to extreme metal and sometimes just hard rock. They formed in 1997 and still have the same members in the band (27 years!). I hope you will find the time to do my other band suggestion AILIFDOPA. They are so fun 😆. Hvala puno
Steve Wilson as Dr. Grey, on pluto 😂 The dominance of British artists in the progressive rock era can be attributed to a combination of historical, cultural, and musical factors. Here are some reasons why British artists were so influential and dominant in this genre: Musical Innovation: British artists in the 1960s and 1970s were at the forefront of musical experimentation. Bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer pushed the boundaries of rock music by incorporating elements of classical music, jazz, and other genres into their sound. This innovative approach helped define the progressive rock genre and set British artists apart from their peers.Strong Music Education: Britain has a long tradition of music education, with many musicians receiving formal training in classical music from a young age. This background in music theory and composition gave British artists the tools to create complex and sophisticated music that became a hallmark of progressive rock. Cultural and Historical Context: The progressive rock era coincided with a period of social and cultural change in Britain. The music of bands like Pink Floyd and Yes reflected the countercultural movements of the time and provided a soundtrack for a generation seeking to break away from traditional norms. This cultural context helped British artists connect with their audience on a deeper level. Supportive Music Industry: British artists in the progressive rock era benefited from a supportive music industry that was willing to take risks and invest in innovative music. Record labels like EMI, Virgin Records, and Charisma Records provided a platform for progressive rock bands to reach a wider audience and experiment with their sound. Collaboration and Cross-Pollination: The British music scene in the 1960s and 1970s was characterized by collaboration and cross-pollination between artists. Many musicians played in multiple bands or projects, leading to a sharing of ideas and influences that helped shape the sound of progressive rock. Global Influence: British artists in the progressive rock era had a global reach and influence. Bands like Pink Floyd and Genesis toured extensively and gained a following around the world, helping to popularize the genre internationally. The unique combination of factors in Britain, however, helped establish the country as a powerhouse in the progressive rock genre during this time.
The funniest way to react to this band is going to the opposite direction with every song I recommend Ain't Afraid to Die Live (the recent one with eng sub)
