Lmao thats a little harsh i love diru but jimi is a bit of a long stretch huh

Okay, Kyo and Jimi Hendrix are not goood comparisons, but...C'mon, was that hate even necissary. That was someone elses opinion, as what you were saying about Kyo, but why bash him so harshly just because you do not agree with that interviewer(s) opinion?

hate? Who's being hateful? I'm being serious. That is his entire role in diru, is it not? To write angsty lyrics (that which I have seen from just about every of Emo kid) and scream a lot? Do you just see it as hateful because you don't like it? Could it actually be true? If it is true, how can it be hateful?

I "bash" kyo regardless (in case you haven't see very far back in the Kyo thread), because (as I said in my post to Kyoto), I have zero respect for him as an artist, and respect down in the negative numbers concerning the way he tries to pass himself off as one. Seeing someone compare him to Hendrix just makes me sick, but it doesn't give be a new opinion of Kyo, different from the one I already had. Do you call it "bashing" just because you don't agree with it? Again, could it not be true? If it is true, it cannot be bashing, but simply stating a fact, or making an observation.

If you look at the picure of Hendrix and in the inset, there's a picture of Kyo, it becomes pretty apparant they are comparing Kyo's position, as in he's stood in almost exactly the same way as Hendrix.

To be fair however, Hendrix is in a totally different league to Kyo and there is no argument against that, he just is.

However, Kyo is a talented musician because of the lyrics he writes. They aren't emo and all that, they're just a form of expression. Every lyricist does it, not just Kyo and, once again, there is no argument against that. (Unless you talk about certain musicians who don't write their lyrics... then there is XD)

As for the not being able to read music, that means nothing. Very few modern musicians can (and older ones too) because most musicians who actually 'make it' are self taught, and few bothered to learn music.

That's just my opinion...

yeah but he cant play like the mastah lol Namida you seem tense * hugs* I get pissy at kyo sometimes too.
Ithought kyo gave up guitar because he found it to difficult . i cant remember what interview that was in though maybe i dreamt it lol eek

When did I ever mention anything about writing about emotions? I mentioned him being all angst and emo, I wanna cut myself, and spit up fake blood, and be dramatic that way. But I never said anything to the effect of "everything emotional is emo". Plus how does identifying something as emo become emophobia (as if I somehow implied I hate emo people). I'm just identifying something, as I would say "Oh look, that sky is blue". That doesn't mean I hate the sky. Plus I also don't see how prejudice plays a role in anything I said. PREjudice implies that you judge something before you know anything about it. I know plenty about Kyo, and emo kids (seeing as I used to be one).


-__________- define "dramatize". You mean dramatize like scratching yourself until you bleed on stage, eating raw eggs, spitting up fake blood and foam, rolling and jumping around like a psycho, or always writing about someone being killed of being depressed? because if that is "dramatize", I'd say Kyo fits that mold quite nicely.


Oh, like being impregnated by his dad (embryo)? Or perhaps being an aborted fetus (Mazohyst of decadence)? Yeah, Not only and I positive that those things have actually happened to him, but I'm also positive he has a right to be upset about them [/sarcasm]


I don't know how many times I've said this in this guild, but I'll say it again: Kyo is NOT Dir en grey. Dir en grey is a BAND of SEVERAL people. Not just one.


But do you really? Or do you only understand it if that member isn't kyo?


Kyo doesn't write Dir en grey's music. Usually either the group as a collective write the music, which means it was still written mostly by people who know a fair deal about music. Or, I've also noticed, Kaoru writes a lot of their music too. And of course you have the occasional song written by either Toshiya, Die or Shinya. I can't think of but maybe (and these are songs I am unsure of who wrote them) one or two songs in Diru's 10 year career where kyo has actually written their music.


Who said anything about me not respecting Diru's members? I only mentioned one.


They've gotten them on the same page, that's enough for me. >.< What? Are they trying to see who makes the better black guy? XD
