Tokage 5930 Posted March 5, 2017 we should probably expect that new album (if it ever comes out (yea right, like it ever will)) to be full of shitty mom-tier ballads tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herpes 1597 Posted March 5, 2017 also it was the SSE arena right? him saying he's played wembley when he's actually played that is like saying you've played madison square garden when you actually just busked in the corridor 1 nekkichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted March 6, 2017 Wow, so this is all pretty misleading about the reality of X Day. Which is disappointing, but somehow far from surprising. I love the ballads a lot, I really do, but at what point do you have to just call it a ToshI/Yoshiki unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erm, why would so many people leave between the encores? To catch the last train? Or were they *ahem* paid to attend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking around the entire middle was full and all sides were also full. The only areas that were empty were way back in the far two corners of the venue. So I'd say around 80% or so full. It was only during the 2nd Encore that I saw people starting to leave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orange~ 387 Posted March 6, 2017 lol what the hell? I'd imagine many people there waiting for a long time to finally see X Japan and then they don't even bother to stay for the encores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted March 7, 2017 I would have left during the second Yoshiki piano solo. What a self-absorbed dick. 1 orange~ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy on the conspiracy theories there, sweetheart. Quite a few of the Japanese there had seniors and/or kids with them, so they were never gonna last the full 3 1/2* hours. Then there was like 15-20 minutes between encores, so other folks must've basically got sick of waiting. Also, it wasn't 100% clear there was gonna be a proper 2nd encore (they were running a bit late and London authorities get seriously bitchy about noise curfews). It was a bit like waiting for the post-credits scene in a Marvel film without the guarantee there was actually one coming. *4 1/2 hours if you include the film.

Argh, 15mins for an encore is too much IMO. 1 Vercingetorix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orange~ 387 Posted March 8, 2017 Okay to say something positive; Toshi's voice is actually as awesome as ever and his english is really good too these days! Toshi has made such a good impression on me during this topic (mostly thanks to his solo gigs) I was already worried he had become some spineless worm or somthing 1 Vercingetorix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
