@Uzumaki: DSS Budokan is the best thing Dir ever did, get on it my dude.
@BigPleb: If he was taught proper vocal technique earlier it could have all been avoided minus the vocal polyps in 2011, but alas. And no, I'm not going. When I said I'm not supporting them again I meant it.

Why was that again? Due to the rubbish VIP package and overall show/fans?

Abysmal VIP, show being a mess, the fans themselves, the band being milked by a cash show, dropping Tue from being their mastering engineer, poor quality releases since late 2017...
Just a build up really. Plus, I've spent a bunch of money on them already and I got other things to spend money on.

I was tempted to go cos I'd love to see them at their own show but after reading that...yikes.

It was the worst show they have ever had since the start of their career in the 90's (literally the band have said that themselves), so don't take that as what's going to happen.
They did promise to come back and I am surprised they did, Die apologised for the last show. They have changed venue from the previous show as well, so if you still want to go buying a ticket would be a relatively safe bet. I doubt they'd have two bad shows in a row.

It's just the travel cost to London and accommodation will easily take it to a £200-300 trip.

£40 for a ticket, £25-50 train there and back to Liverpool (just checked), £10 on Uber, £50-70 for not a shithouse hotel.
Think it's possible to keep it around £150, but then again merch and food can add cost.

Yeah but I can save for it tbh, got plenty of time.
Hopefully it's not a show with supports and just a 2hr 30min Diru set.

The last show they had no support acts, doubt they'd have any again.
If it was a solo Dir show I'd imagine it being close to 2 hours.

Well Tsumi to Batsu is all about physically and sexually assaulting a 14 year old, and the song after that is from the perspective of a fetus going through an abortion if my analysis was correct. lots of more uncomfortable lyrics scattered all over
There are some tracks that have cool lyrics while still being a bit depressing to say the least, like Yurameki which is essentially a lost love he can't get back but that love will never waver. I'd like to read some interviews or something with Kyo going over these lyrics in more detail

Yea I guess he switched up the syllables to make it read differently? or something to that effect

tsumi to batsu is such a great song but yea the lyrics are absolutely fucked. A lot of visual kei bands at the time were going for shock value, and dir en grey werent much different. Id say Kyo matured a lot around the vulgar era lyrically, a lot more nuance in his lyrics (tho he wrote some good stuff early on too)

Didn't know that about the visual kei bands at this time going for shock value, what are some other bands that were around? And yea reading Kyo's lyrics from like Withering onward and going back to this was quite a whiplash lol
