Its awesome that they're coming to Portland again.
I don't know who the Human Abstract are, but I'll
likely be leaving before their set as I had done last
year when Diru played with the Deftones. =p

Also, why is it everytime someone hears about this band, they always automatically assume "EWW, ANNIE MAY MYUZIK!" just because they're Japanese? The type of music DeG makes wouldn't even fit in with an Anime series, c'mon do they sound bright and cheery to you? And I'm sure they're probably getting sick of the anime connotation thesmelves, which is probably why Marrow of A Bone sounded so Americanized. They're not doing the indies Visual Kei dress up stuff anymore and yet people still f***ing call them "cross-dressing japanese f*gg*ts" go to a frigging live show and see if they're still "dressing in Marilyn Manson clothes," cuz they friggin' don't. And to you 'hardkorrrrrre' people, DeG might seem like sh**, but hey atleast its better than MCR, amirite?

Who are you people? Their music is slightly different, yes—but they made some of their greatest music when they were "cross-dressing japanese f*gg*ts"!! AND I find that highly offensive to say!

If you are a TRUE Dir En Grey fan you would have understood WHY they used to dress like that—their music and lyrics have not changed, their look have only moderately changed.

Visual Kei is a style movement that was done in Japan. (not just something Indie bands do!) 
I am excited to see them and I will gleefully sing along in Atlanta when I get front row!

If you don’t like it—then why they hell are you reading this here?
Dir en grey はすぎうだ!!! Toshiya はかっこいいですよ!!

Maybe I just really HATE their music? Ever think about that? I didn't say anything about "cross-dressing f*gg*ts." I think their music is horrible. I'm reading this here because I always stay up-to-date on touring schedules (yes, even with bands that I don't like). If they had a support act that I really like, I would consider going.

Just my opinion, but it seems like some music labels are desperate - and practically sign any band whether they have talent or NOT....whether they actually sound "good" or not....pitiful
