Dir En Grey - Obscure Live [Proshot]

Check out my band: / colddivide

[@KatyAretxabaleta]

Man Kyo is so freaking emotive, that's what sets him apart from the rest, their music and his vocals are not just music, it's really expression and that makes it an Art. TRUE Art..

[@adventchildren73]

I just LOVE how Toshiya plays the damn bass on this Live!

[@piaka56]

Looooooooooooove the bass.

[@VanillaPuddin911]

Fuck yeah, tearin up the Hide Memorial Summit. R.I.P. Hide. Way to go Diru!

[@martinxy4]

nice performance, and dont forget! this live was a tribute to hide, rest in peace Hide

[@t1oxETy]

favorate asian bands (top 3) the gazette-nega-dir en grey. they get me up in the morning

[@kawaiicanniable]

I'm in love with Kyo's shreik

[@Lumhiere]

Toshiya and Kyo Rocks this one !!!

[@MoosicDude]

@Skid20055 I'm not sure about the validity of the word "brilliancy"but Dir En Gray are certainly darker than the teenage angst of Korn or Slipknot and you don't even have to look at the lyrics to work that out. They are a lot more expressive in their music, live act and videos and even though it strictly isn't my sort of music now I've gotten older, I really appreciate the artistic merit.

[@aideemora123]

ahh love his screams and growls mmmm

[@KatyAretxabaleta]

@KoRnhogan I love them all as they are all so talented yet I totally agree with you, Toshiya is really great to watch performing live, they all are really so talented and entertaining

[@Vwong114]

How can these guys be nu-metal? They're not boring!!!

[@AsiAn7Underground]

3:00-3:43 fucking epic!

[@girlpride14X3]

@guitarrhythymfool thats true kyo has a lovely voice. love the song kodou. OBSessed with dir en grey

[@bookie88]

forget about this and keep playing the blitz 5 days version of this precious song =)

[@Twiggyay]

i`ve always thought Toshiya was just a decent bass player but he`s pro!

[@luigi169000]

awesome awesome band!!!!!!! best band on this planet:)

[@FormerlyMrBean667]

I'm not into nu metal at all, but this song is pretty cool.

[@nastierpogo]

@TheDragonlord103 I've heard the studio and live versions, and I must say the kind of guitar riffs are pretty similar what Korn used to play in their early songs, there's a CLEAR influence in this track.

[@SlaughteredInside]

Honestly I dont think they play this song as well as they used to. They used to play it spot on! especially the chorus. but now it sounds a little half assed. this is the second video ive seen of them playing it like this. Toshiya's really gotten into playing this song with a lot of slap bass which is awesome, but when you listen to the album version or older live versions you can hear alot of whats missing. Still one of my favorite Dir en Grey songs though!

[@rjfire]

hide from x-japan woooot miss him dir en grey kick ass

[@miky91uchiha]

-39 they will be in milan omfg *_______*

[@pwninkev]

he always did slap bass on this song, look at the blitz 5 days live which was like.......... how long ago?

[@sabrefang0]

never noticed it at the show with deftones it looked like a 6 string but i could have been wrong lol. and when i said it sounded different i meant the way the song was played not just the intro it sounded like there were a few improv things on the guitars.

[@vikingwizardeyes2121]

Dude, I gotta try that bass playing position.

[@CrustaceousAnnoyance]

Hmmm Am I the only one who kinda see's these guys as the Japanese SlipKnot? More or less the older SlipKnot. Like their creepier songs you know? I see so much of that in here. I love the freaky tainted feel here.

[@coasterman927]

Well this is the Hide Memorial Summit (commemorating the 10th anniversary of X Japan guitarist Hide's death). It's expected that they be showing some respect for the man, which would explain why they don't exactly seem "into it".

[@dmrjeter]

@ankl3deep Thanks because Kyo in general sometimes weirds me out but I love their sound and Toshiya and Shinya. But isn`t it real when he scratches himself up? You have to admit some of the stuff he does is throwed off but sometimes I like throwed off.

[@makkmin]

oh yeah, i liked that too...

[@Cyssy7]

@Lostman916 Sucks? Everyone how actually knows something about playing the drums, should see he`s very good. I play myself, and I`m not nearly as good as Shinya but still I admire him. You can`t judge about him after listening to one song. I agree with Crackapples1337, you should listen to Vinushka. It`s quite good.

[@ihf666]

most venue's in japan tend to be like that with everyone "sitting down behaveing" if you look at any gig there most are like that. tbh it must be pretty daunting for bands.

[@shadzzz441791]

@28fatkidsLater Nah, Slipknot and KoRn came years BEFORE Diru. I don't see how they sound like each other though...

[@femfyratre]

@KoRnhogan Yeah, he looks kinda influenced by Fieldy, don't you think?

[@punchdrunkrock]

Fucking sick

[@Phantom0210]

who is it at0:27? i noe is blurry but who is it? And i notice there's a guy wearing a black color t-shirt or jacket, who is it?

[@Phantom0210]

Who was that in 1:01? The long hair guy with the tieing half pony tail?

[@Twiggyay]

@1019129114 I've never read, heard or seen them with an eight string, seven at the most.

[@ankl3deep]

@SATOunbroken It's just kind of obvious. On tour he usually does the same kind of stuff at exactly the same point in the show every time. If he actually cut the same spot in his arm that many times for every show of the tour he would have cut clean through the bone by then.

[@odla14x]

jejeje estan bien locos¡¡¡¡¡

[@nastierpogo]

You guys have to be fucking deaf if you don't hear some early Korn influence in this song, just listen to the bass and guitars, I'm not saying this band sounds like Korn, but this song kinda does.

[@PapaRainYT]

@CrypticGrudge In a sense.. but theres a huge difference between Dir en grey and Slipknot... Slipknot likes to sound like utter gross tones and repetitivness when it comes to their songs... Just cause they don't care.. Dir en grey doesn't care what people want, but they do care about what they wanna throw out. They take a lot of time and pride into what they write and express it live.. And it can go from one extreme to the next in their genre all the time. Slipknots always heavy

[@sabrefang0]

hey it's a 7 string sweet sounds kinda different from the way it's played on the album

[@28fatkidsLater]

Diru sounds like Diru and not like Korn or Slipknot . . . Do you ever thought that Korn and Slipknot sounds like Dir En Grey . . . ?! Godbless Diru !!!

[@SATOunbroken]

@ankl3deep I don't know where you heard this. LOL

[@Taiwanesedave]

@Lostman916 Drummer sucks? Are you serious? The song might not be that demanding but alot of their other stuff (especially Vinushka) is very technical. Glad you like the song though. :)

[@Twiggyay]

@cluSterfUck1000 seven string*

[@PoInTmAn003]

sick live . wakcen beats it tho

[@S1nOptic]

what do the guitarist play in? it sounds around B

[@Averyfane]

sweet, thought I was the only other gaijin :p

[@cookiekitti]

there is no backing track. that is live. totaly live. and just to say. god, the bassist is flippin brilliant.

[@ryanking2721]

Saw them at Download in 2009. I'd never heard of them at the time and they absolutely blew me away 🤘🤘

[@makkmin]

VK days??

[@holtec333]

i love the band, but he seems to fail live. or is it just that injury i heard he had? did they used to be better live?

[@hellacezkie]

@ Shirobero - they [korn] cannot even be called a metal band

[@adamhaas1]

@KoRnhogan ya toshiya is "G" as hell haha

[@adventchildren73]

I don't think it's that. Because if they were to show respect, they wouldn't be playing loud and hard shit like that on HIS Memorial. I think it's because Japanese people actually have respect for others and don't get too crazy like the Americans here. Because during the American Dir en grey Tour, I just saw a bunch of Americans moshing and beating the crap out of each other, but not the Asians in the audience.

[@Averyfane]

Toshi...

[@dmrjeter]

I wonder if Kyo hurts himself because he is tormented by some deeply traumatic childhood horror like most self abusers. The performance was great but honestly it does bother me to see him hurt himself and bleeding. Maybe its a turn on or relievement for him. Guess I just care too much....

[@Bobcat8850]

Hmmm... Japanese Korn... interesting.... 1:31 is the best part...

[@wearinghumanskin]

Way better than Korn my boi

[@ituberich]

@deathsinatrix93 this song is about abortion

[@xTwiiX]

vk?

[@nigelloucks666]

whats Vk days?

[@ankl3deep]

@dmrjeter most if not all of his self-mutilation is fake, like when he uses fake vomit onstage. it's part of his showmanship

[@1sadsexual2sadsexual]

@Lostman916 i don't see how shinya sucks, go listen to vinushka.

[@plskillme000]

visual kei....

[@tokkafan4life]

Sorry.... I really didn't mean to offend anybody. When I said he was like the old school MM, I Meant as in shock value. Seriously< This is the only japanese band that scares the shit out of me.

[@rodolfonarv]

y el puto sonidooooooooooooooooooo?????????????''

[@SATOunbroken]

@ankl3deep Well, he has scars all over his body so I guess those are fake too. LOL

[@ElliotStent]

@metalhead321 Drop A tuning. Pretty damn low haha :P

[@girlpride14X3]

omg is the lead singer drunk??? holy crap!

[@YoungMetalgearPro]

[@theonezeata]

[@kalebxxx18]
