Dir En Grey Play Their Favorite Riffs 

They are an old band sooo😂😂

@@witheringflower3832 yeah I remember trying to learn some of their stuff like 10 years ago. Someone had ripped the video from a young guitar magazine dvd and put it on youtube. So it was like 240p and sounded like shit. But i watched it over and over trying to figure things out without any english subtitles lol.

@@saintlotus93 AHaHAHAHAHAHAA! Those were the days!

Same It's so hard finding new/good videos of them cause they're all from so long ago

Hahahaha

Leandro Souza yes

Leandro Souza Same! I really like how Die threw in a D’erlanger riff, but not super surprised cuz he’s like their biggest fan

It’s crazy I’m obsessed with these guys and just yesterday loudwire had my old drummer in a video. Omg!!!

TRUE!

@@fleef69 flew from Puerto Rico to catch the GazettE in New York last year, and I'm still recovering. Probably the best show I've been to. Could barely speak for a while after 😂 definitely one of the best bands from Japan

I remember him telling that same story around the Vulgarism era and even then it was so silly to me how he became one of the best bassists in Jrock lmao.

Crazy. His slapping/strumming technique alone is incredibly hard to pull off. Guy has fingers stronger then Wolverine.

Bass is harder to play. Have longer neck so more sounds and spots to press.

@@arieswildchildIt doesn’t have more spots, It usually has less than a guitar but the neck is bigger because the frets are bigger too, both bass an guitar have between 22 and 24 frets and that multiplies for the number of strings the instrument has which is normally 6 for guitars and 4 in bass so in a guitar you would have 132-144 spots to press and in a bass 88-96, which by no means is an indication that one is more difficult than the other

Yep, Diru has some of the best interplay between guitar parts and bass parts ever recorded.

yeah the whole band is underrated. I have been a fan since 2008 seeing them grow has been amazing.

Just because they are less known than for example Nickelback doesnt mean they are underrated. I'm sure professional musicians praise Dir en Grey. And while commercial success is important too, staying true to yourself and having a crowd that appreciates you for that is more important. Mass Appeal =/= Success as an artist

Dir en Grey is not underrated at all. Try La'cryma Christi 😂

@@SK-oz8yx shuse is from lacryma Christi is my dad lol

His hair is godlike. Also, you're so lucky! I saw them at Download, but their set was cut short because of the typically terrible British weather.

Saw them too in December at the House of blues in Houston Texas. It was amazing

I saw them at the Regent in December and yes, especially with that fan blowing his hair the entire show definitely made it 10x better.

Saw em at Ace of Spades! Oh man- it was just unreal!!

Daniel Oh my god, his stare is too powerful. He once stared in my direction, and I did a big ol’ NOPE cause I couldn’t handle how perfect and intense his face is. If I ever see them live again...I’m gonna fucking win.

I would kill to see this.

Kyo seems to be opening up a bit more in interviews lately, but all he does is smoke like 50 cigs and laugh

An interview with Kyo? That would be a helluva video

he isnt shy you piss him off he will boot you

I need this.

Crazy as it sounds but arche was one of the greatest peices of music i have ever listened to man

Totally a truth.

yes! helped with depression for sure these guys are awesomeee

How is that arche pulled you out of depression...?

@@ISoHEoBASSIST it's hard to say, specifically. Music itself can promote healing on inordinate levels. But when you can relate to the aggression and darkness on a personal level, conversely, it can be the dim light shining in the dark. It was for me.

Cheers

Same here! :) I nearly cried re-listening to their old stuff

Silvia Fox man me too ! I still barely know any Of the Japanese language personally but their creativity and music has always made me happy. I still have two of the cds in my studio lol

I've been religiously listening to them since 2004. Day in, day out. 💖🎶🎵

Lili Blais ❤️❤️❤️

Samee

SAAAAME!!!

saaaameeee!

whoa did i just see you on a Punk Rock MBA video?

@@scottsmith8162 Yep. That was me. Haha.

You have to listen to their next album, Dum Spiro Spero. Those two albums are considered as their finest work.

Go through all of their albums. They change so much from album to album. My favorite from their recent work is Arche by far.

do yourself a favor and find Vulgar. Thank me later.

Every bit of their stuff is awesome. My personal favorite album is Vulgar but everything is so different and so good

I love all their albums, especially Arche

Trueee!!!

@@hitsurei Honestly goes for all of them...Shinya on his drums? Yes please!!

Wish they were set up with a better tone at least...

That would be an amazing video. haha

I don't honestly think that's a good idea. Knowing the way they've approached Diru before, they would only include stuff from the 2000~2010 era, and that's seriously going to give the wrong impression of the band. And mostly of Kyo. As Die stated, they changed a lot over the years. I think that would be misleading for people who have never heard of them and go listen to the band expecting something entirely different (watch the many changes they've experienced in the last 10 years). Also, I'm sure they won't pay attention to any "unforgettable moments" from more recent years.

Oz Osgood EPIC BASS

Wise choice.

LMAO SLAP LIKE NOW

What's up *SLEPAHS*

S L A P P E R S

Yes, it looks a little unorthodox, but it's tight af.

I love the tattoo! it‘s so cool

Agreed! I'm a fan around 12 years and they keep fascinating and surprising me, I love this band to death!

hopefully in PH soon! after the pandemic 😌

Ikr I was unintentionally staring at him for like two minutes and he got such an heartwarming smile too.

I saw them years and years ago I was the 1st us show they did at the Limelight in NYC but haven’t seen them since 2009

Just twice for 12 years? :O

@@MatsushiiThisBIG yeah, unfortunately, they were twice in my country, so i had the chance for this two :)

yeah, no shows for us :( unfortunately I was young and I got to their music in 2015 so I missed it

That’d be a sight

D. O. Brndo so you can't steal da riffs. Dir en grey fan since 2010.🤘

@Karina Peters ossankon 😂 (ossan is short for ojisan, uncle, middle aged men)

same here 😂 the hairstyle suits him

Where's shinya btw?

Where were you?

@@MatsushiiThisBIG I was in Helsinki, Finland!

@@bluesdrivemonster2546 good.

カッティングの鬼って呼ばれてますしね！

They are not visual key for years bro, wake up

so what? read their interviews, they abandoned visual kei style like 10 years ago, jeez

@@rednek666 Bruh, stop being such a stickler. Arche released in 2014 and they(at least kyo) was still dressing up. It ain't that deep, fam.

@@dantelan-i-er5466 First of all, i`m not your bro, dude or fam, okay? Second, dressing up in different ways does not make them visual kei. It`s the certain style they don`t follow anymore, for many years.

@@rednek666 Bruh, calm yourself. You sound like you just came from a Klan rally. Maybe that's why your name is Rednek. 🤷‍♂️ But I read up on visual kei and I think I see your point. It's usually about long hair and androgynous styles.

They need more attention! They don't have enough

Same

Totally agree

..but do we really?

@@Rand_al_Thor372 yyyyyessssssss

Uroboros is a name of album you're looking for.

Same with Vulgar and Marrow Of A Bone with Marrow being especially underrated

Melhor banda!!!

@@DIRENGREYJAPAN com certeza

amamos!
