Dir En Grey
Pre-dum spiro spero. Missing some hits but a general rlist of their best songs. |
| 1 | Dir en grey
Ain't Afraid to Die
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taenK4JW0c0 - Don't wait to ruin it with
a shitty explanation, just listen. |
| 2 | Dir en grey
Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9CEI-O7EdQ - On DSS album, but was
released as a single beforehand. Amazing stuff. |
| 3 | Dir en grey
Kodou
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77CV9ZeQkxw - Best song on Withering
to Death |
| 4 | Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tomadoi (unplugged)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-28POsQTKx4 - Beautiful piano piece
which brings out real emotion from Kyo's voice. The original is amazing too. |
| 5 | The Pledge (unplugged)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di0nkcpkC2M - Once again the acoustic
version kicks ass. Original is brilliant too. |
| 6 | Jealous -reverse-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElqCg45eMe0 - Also a acoustic version,
but this time the piano version is a lot better than the original which imo
rocked but it's not exactly for everyone's tastes |
| 7 | Red Soil
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR13uaxU76c - Standout track for me
on Uroboros, Vinshuka is great but this tops it just in terms of groove,
musicianship and variety. Just. |
| 8 | Clever Sleazoid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjOqwDAYaig - I think the first transition
towards a darker tone for Dir en grey. Hilarious lyrics too. |
| 9 | The Final
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBIh26Jgtbg - What I would have a few
years ago deemed to be their best song ever made, but due to being
overplayed both on my system and in their concerts has dropped on the
list. Still crazy good. I kick myself for ruining my own opinion of the song
from overplaying |
| 10 | Mushi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTqYAQBilgw - An emotional experience
just listening to it. |
| 11 | Undecided
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMhj6Q1FKEg - Wonderful guitar duet
and solo. Actually better than the remake in my opinion. Only slightly. |
| 12 | Obscure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUvpMhw5ALw - Worth watching for
just the video itself, this is the original vulgar version. The better one. And
despite the remake having a tighter metalcorey sound, this one's more
brutal. |
| 13 | Zan (both versions)
For optimal enjoyment watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=Pdh_ZmaCYXE&feature=related
and then the remake around a decade later
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn2Vc-SQGaQ&feature=related |
| 14 | Zakuro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kiWytwoiIA - A bit of a late inclusion,
this is one of Dir en grey's most emotional ballads. Should be higher up the
list but I'm lazy. |
| 15 | Raison D'etre
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=yPn7Vh5pc9U&playnext=1&list=PLAA96B8D4AE62D0F7 - the video has
boobies. And one of their finest, fun songs. |
