There are multiple reports of this gig as being a transformational event in rock as they were reviewed by hard-core metalheads who gave it eight of ten. Presumably they didn't score the ten because no livestock was slaughtered.
X Japan is over twenty years old so this is hardly the next Big Thing but rather the incredible part is where they originate. This isn't Liverpool or Detroit but Tokyo and that has never happened before, nothing even close.
Nickelback is a favorite as I love their "Burn It to the Ground" and that's a good representation of generic and ageless bad-assishness in rock. X Japan makes them look like a garage band. Chad Kroeger may be pretty but that will work like Kardashian's fat butt in standing up to what X Japan brings.
According to report, at least three of the biggest bands in Japan's hard rock culture were at the show and that alone tells you this wasn't just a concert, it was royalty.
I haven't particularly cared about hearing a concert in decades but I would have dearly loved to have been at this one. After Metallica started, I didn't care at all about what people wanted to hear anymore and I stopped listening. Then there was X Japan and music got interesting again. Yoshiki is one of the all-time most-talented maniacs in hard rock ... and he's a brilliant pianist in classical technique. If you're playing for yer soul against these guys, you gonna lose, my woeful friend.
The consolation is that it will probably come out on DVD and if we are truly blessed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster then it will come out for free on YouTube as X Japan has done that before.
For me it's pure rock, cleansed of the satanic hell rock, and that has nothing to do with spirituality but rather the alternative was so banal and stupid. OK, dude, I fuckin' get it. Jesus ain't in yer heart. So, do you know any other songs, honey?
And, yeah, very fast on the guitar. Really impressive to work so hard for a song that has absolutely nothing to say. Hall of Fame for sure, snowflake Satan.
And then there's X Japan. I feel for this band like a kid in fookin' high school. All of them are unbelievably talented and the result ... whew ... what a result. Dayum, I wish I could have been at that show!
