psychonnect_rozen 585 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) The GazettE Almost everyone calls them the “Nickleback” of VK, which is the worst thing to compare them to. The people who hate them either think they ripped off Dir En Grey or think their music is cringe. What’s even better is that both Dir En Grey and The Gazette are both in my Top 5 for favourite VK and J Rock bands. The whole rip off thing pisses me off. They sound nothing alike Hell, Stacked Rubbish is one of my all time favourite J-Rock albums Edited May 17, 2019 by psychonnect_rozen Grammar 2 1 Reikatsumi, nullmoon and Miku70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gesu 1537 Posted May 17, 2019 I'm not sure on people's opinions about KAMIJO's solo career, but I've heard a few people say they find him annoying as a person, whereas I like him/his solo career. I think his songs sound like boss fight music, which is A-Okay with me. I was actually gonna go see him in September last year, but I missed out cuz I fell out with the person I was gonna go with. I'm still fuming over that. 3 1 1 psychonnect_rozen, Arkady, 吸血鬼 ~Kyūketsuki~ and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What’s his solo like? 1 1 Takadanobabaalien and Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's got that same kind of neoclassical power metal influence you'd expect from him. I think his solo music is generally a bit faster and grandiose than his other stuff (if that's even possible), but there are some exceptions like Trésor, for example. 1 psychonnect_rozen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robkun 4184 Posted May 17, 2019 Not Japanese at all, but I always loved Limp Bizkit, aaaand... yeah, a lot of people hate them lol. As far as Japanese bands go, I looooove me some Sharan Q. No one really hates them per-se, at least that I know, but I only talked to a few Japanese folks that actually take em serious lol. 2 Gesu and nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miku70 214 Posted May 17, 2019 Tokio Hotel, Killerpilze, KYO (french band pop , rock, edm), An Cafe, BLACPINK they hate by people but I don't care, because it's their opinion. One portion of fans of The GazettE are hysterical, but I listen them for their music. 2 nullmoon and monkeybanana4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nu metal honestly really depends on the band. Dir En Grey did nu metal back then and it sounds awesome. One nu metal band I enjoy is Korn. I’m not the biggest fan, but they have some legit bops 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, Rooftops is an amazing song. But again, I can never get into Lostprophets because of what Ian “Goes wild with your child” Watkins did. Then again, I like Phantamasigoria, even though their bassist is a complete shithead (Kisaki) 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chocobuzz 752 Posted May 17, 2019 As for non-japanese bands, Sabaton. A lot of people call them ridiculous, but I find them cool and fun. As for japanese bands, Mediena. The hate Ryo always got, jeez... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masato 365 Posted May 17, 2019 Kaitou Sentai, cause everyone thinks they are a joke and a rip-off and insult their favourite band. 😍 But I stan their humor. Kamijo-fan here, too. Even I find his antics sometimes creepy, but well, his shows and music are fun. 1 Miku70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaeDesu 189 Posted May 17, 2019 D. People really hate on them and I'm not sure why? They're my favorite band and I adore them. Also I love Kamijo as well, he's great, even with the weird Vampire vibes. 1 Reikatsumi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saiko 429 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) The Gazette a rip-off? Well, I get that some people won't like them and that's ok, but saying that they are a mere 'rip-off' speaks of literally not having anything in your ears out of a massive necessity of identification with A so you need to hate B in order to love A. That said, whether liked or not, and although nobody can't deny that they still have their flops -in terms of uninspired works-, the Gazette actually DID their job and seated a precedent in a majority of the 'formula' that defines modern and also classic 'visual-kei' sound, visuals, lyrics, etc., like a few artists did. Same goes for X, Luna, Kuroyume, L'arc, Rouage, Laputa, Malice Mizer, Pierrot, Shazna, Dir, Nightmare, Mucc, Sid, baroque, Kagerou, Antic Cafe, Kagrra, Deluhi, Kiryu, Nocturnal Bloodlust, and a long -LONG- etc. including and every band that has some status of cult-following. Just stop hating freely and try to listen carefully to the artists that made the bands you like to happen. And if you don't want to, that's ok, but try not to sound pretentious. Hm.
