Jrock! Appreciation

What amps do Gazette use?

Aoi seems to use a Bogner (probably an Uberschall) and Uruha usually has Mesas behind him, from what I've seen.

 

[toshiyap]

Hmm guess its a triple rect. uberschalls? Aoi knows his shit. Japanese music production are also way better than the rest of the world

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

You all suck.

Now everybody take a deep breath....


































That should be enough for now.

And yes, Gazette use Bogner Uberschalls and Mesa Triple Recs. But don't forget Reita's bass tone. That's their secret to their big sound. Neither Aoi nor Uruha dial their tones to extreme settings.

The first time I saw this band's videos, I thought "...what"

Now I kinda like them, though. I should actually check them out more.



Danchou hits some pretty sweet F5s in that song.

Oh, and I had already posted the GazettE - Leech video.

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

^ It was bound to happen.

 

[toshiyap]

almost forgot, my user is based on toshiya of Dir en grey. \m/ YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Also considering it is the 13th anniversary, we may as well honour the godfather:

 

[toshiyap]

theres clearly a Herbert in the Leech video. i would imagine they use the same gear as Diru since well...they are Diru V2.0 literally

I guess that's probably why I couldn't get into the Gazette initially. Plus they were Diru's rodies to begin with.

But we all know classic Diru:



Then evolved to this:




And here's some more J-randoms:

























I know too much.

Damn, I'm late to the party There goes my opportunity to say: "Everybody calm the fuck down! ...I got this!"

So much awesome music already in this thread, I'll try to not re-post anything

The Back Horn: Awesome alternative punk-type band, very humble with none of that image bullshit that so many indie and punk bands in the west give us.


Ling Tosite Sigure: Just... I don't know Fucking awesome and unpredictable!


Sugizo: Should need no introduction, he was in Luna Sea ffs, a true Godfather of J-Rock. This song is a lot more obscure than his work with Luna Sea aswell as his other solo stuff, but it's pretty swingin'


Unchain: Cool jazz-rock-pop band, very cool harmonies and intertwining key changes and so on with a chill flow to it.


Boom Boom Sattelites: Haven't listened to these guys much but they have a cool ielectro rock n' roll feel:





... and if you thought I was gonna leave you without some Kumi!

 

[ralphy1976]

Kumi, is that the one you painted? he is a man right?

 

[JohnIce]

Kumi, is that the one you painted? he is a man right?

Haha what?

How do you make this out to be a man?

 

[ralphy1976]

wasn't too sure, i remember something written about some dude REALLY looking too much like a woman and kicking ass at guitar, but that maybe "versailles"...

would love to be a video clothes designer for one of those J-rock / J-pop / J-punk bands!!!!

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Kumi, is that the one you painted? he is a man right?

For all the post Luna Sea solo careers sans Sugizo:







And since Do As Infinity just refomed: (it was a necessity since Tomoko Van's solo albums were less than satisfactory)



Of course there's Bowwy...



...and their guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei:



And I'm surprise no Nightmare posts yet (not even by me):





Nor their (now on indefinite hold) side band Sendai Kamotsu:



I've already posted Mix Speakers Inc, so I'll post their previous incarnation:



I've also already posted Angelo so I'll post their previous incarnation...



...and what Ex Pierrot guitarist Aiji is doing right now:



My sister's favorites atm:





...and some more randoms:







Consider everything I post as spam from here on.

 

[ry_z]

Dammit, you've stumbled across one of my guilty pleasure bands.

 

[pink freud]

 

[Dragonfly]

As mentioned Gazette.

Maximum the Hormone:





And An Cafe? (not my thingy, but maybe you like it)

Their guitarist is sexy.. even though it's an he..

 

[JohnIce]

Fuck greedy record companies for taking down all the Bazra videos from youtube... one of my absolute favourite bands, who sound like nothing else, and inspired a good 50% of my band's sound
