Paul Grey (Bassis sekaligus pendiri Slipknot) ditemukan tewas pada tanggal 24 Mei 2010 di sebuah hotel di kawasan Towneplace Suites,USA

Diduga Paul tewas karena overdosis karena Paul kerap mengkonsumsi narkoba & minuman keras

Menurut kawan-kawannya di Slipknot Bassis kidal yang berusia 38 tahun ini paling sering mengkonsumsi narkoba & minuman keras dengan jumlah dosis yang banyak jadi wajar apabila Paul tewas diduga karena overdosis

Slipknot merasa berduka & kehilangan salah seorang dari personil sekaligus pendiri band Slipknot.

Drummer Baru Avenged Sevenfold

Mike Portnoy (Dream Theatre) berkata antusias saat ditawari rekaman oleh Avenged Sevenfold yang ditinggal James Owen ‘The Rev” Sullivan pada 28 Desember 2009

Mike portnoy mengisi bagian drum. Sebelumnya Zacky Vengeance & Matt Shadows menawari Mike untuk pembuatan album baru dengan single berjudul Nightmare. Mike tidak berpikir 2x untuk bergabung dengan Avenged Sevenfold.

Namun dengan masuknya mike portnoy dalam line up baru Avenged Sevenfold tidak berartu merubah posisi The Rev karena posisinya takkan pernah terganti oleh siapapun di Avenged Sevenfold

Rose Of Pain (Lyric)

Why are you scared ?
What have you seen ?
In the castle with the silent roses
I ask again and again

Why are you sad ?
What pain are you feeling ?
Oh, I ask of the rose with its petals of blood
But the rose of blood can't answer me till the end

Scream without raising your voice
iki o koroshite mitsumeru


kuroi hitomi no oku shinbi ni michita hohoemi o ukaberu
himei to tomo ni nagareru kurushimi o mitsumete

shiroi suhada ni shikyû no kubi-kazari o yosôi
kyôki no chi to tawamure, odori-hajimeru

ai o nakushita kokoro satsuriku no yorokobi ni moeru
She will kill to make herself more beautiful
gisei o hôseki ni kaete mo

higeki no subete o, iki o koroshite mitsumeru

Slice them ! Slice them till they're running in blood
nige-mawaru onna o
Tear up ! tear up till their blood runs dry
hadaka no karada o tsurushi-agete

nikushimi ni koroshi-au toki no nagare no naka de
chi de arau karada no kagayaki motomete
yokubô ni dakareta kokoro ikiba o mi-ushinai
ai no subete o hiki-saku namida sae misezu ni

* Rose of pain, subete o
mitsume obieru

Rose of Pain

The castle became a violent sea of blood
The blood covers the flower, dying it deep red

Stop ! Stop dying me red
I can't take anymore
You are too cruel !
Stop ! Please stop !

Slice them ! Slice them till they're running in blood
Nige-mawaru onna o
Close up ! Close up their mouth using
thread and needle
hadaka no karada o tsurushi-agete

motome-ai kizutsuku ai o azakeri-warai
soita karada no uruoi-motomete
Kill them all chi-mamire no kokoro subete o mi-ushinai

Repeat *

Rose of pain, I don't want to see
Rose of pain, kurushii
Rose of pain

In eternal madness we live
Even if it was just a dream
now pain, nothing but pain

Rose of pain

Struktur dan Analisis Lagu

- 00:00 - 2:58

Lagu ini dibuka dengan gitar yang sangat lembut& teratur, dengan piano yang mengiringi. Musik orkes dimulai pada detik ke 25, lembut pada awalnya, Musik bertahap hingga Toshi mulai bernyanyi
- 02:59 - 4:10

Dengan awal pukulan drum Yoshiki part ini dimulai. Dua gitar mengikuti setelah itu, solo sama bermain hanya dengan satu memainkannya beberapa nada lebih tinggi untuk menciptakan harmoni. Pada 3:34 tempo dipercepat dengan gitar ketiga datang untuk memainkan riff berat yang menekan.

- 04:11 - 8:14

Vokal dan orkestra masukkan kembali sebagai band terus, dan pada saat tertentu, sesuatu seperti sebuah puisi yang turut mengiringi lagu ini. Terdapat salah satu solo gitar yang harmonis.

- 08:15 - 8:43

Dengan kesimpulan dari kata yang diucapkan kedua, ada jeda di mana semua gitar, drum, dan sebagian besar orkestra, dengan pengecualian dari beberapa cello, drop out.

- 08:44 - 12:43

Suatu akord tunggal secara efektif berakhir selingan, dan sebuah kebingungan yang membawa drum lagu kembali menjadi negara yang kuat. Hal ini diikuti oleh solo gitar yang harmonis, namun satu ini berbeda dari yang lain sehingga sejauh hal itu jauh lebih lama dan sangat staccato dalam alam.

- 12:44 - 13:38

Nada band dan orkestra juga telah bergeser ke bagian bawah berlapis vokal Toshi's. Setelah menyelesaikan ayat ini, ada solo gitar lambat yang mengalir ke solo biola.

- 13:39 - 15:06

Nada tetap dengan tempo yang cepat dengan iringan musik orkestra,di part ini ada sebuah puisi lain yang mengiringi dan kemudian musik semakin lambat karena hendak memasuki part piano solo.

- Piano Solo (15:07 - 24:18)

Delapan menit awal piano terdengar lembut tapi setelah itu tempo piano dengan iringan semakin cepat. Ketika memasuki beberapa menit terakhir tempo semakin melambat.

Ending (24:19 - 29:00)

Part ini dimulai dengan permainan dengan tempo cepat den solo guitar oleh Hide & Pata.
Kemudian tempo semakin melambat dengan nada syahdu

Social Distortion

Social Distortion (sometimes referred to simply as Social D or SxDx) is an American punk rock band formed in 1978 in Fullerton, California.[4] The band currently consists of Mike Ness (vocals, guitars), Jonny Wickersham (guitars), Brent Harding (bass) and Scott Reeder (drums). It is often credited as one of the leading bands of the 1980s hardcore punk explosion.[citation needed]
The group briefly disbanded in 1985, due to frontman Ness' drug addiction and troubles with the law, which resulted in extended stints in various rehabilitation centers, that lasted for two years. But the band reformed around 1986 and have continued being active today, even after the death of longtime guitarist Dennis Danell, who succumbed to a brain aneurysm in 2000. Since its inception the band lineup has been a virtual revolving-door of talent, with many members coming and going – Ness has been the only constant member.

To date, Social Distortion has released six full-length studio albums, two compilations, one live album and two DVDs. The band released its debut album Mommy's Little Monster in 1983, which was quite popular in the United States. Social Distortion did not release a second album, Prison Bound, until 1988. That album attracted the attention of Epic Records, who signed the band in 1989 and issued their highly successful self-titled third album a year later, which peaked at number 128 on the Billboard 200, and featured their well-known hit singles "Ball and Chain", "Story of My Life" and the cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." The next two albums, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell and White Light, White Heat, White Trash were also well-received but not as successful as the self-titled album. Social Distortion released their most recent studio album, Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll, on September 28, 2004. The band also released their first Greatest Hits compilation on June 26, 2007. As of May 11, 2010, Social Distortion is in the studio finishing up their next album, which is due for release this fall.[5]
History
Early years (1978-1982)
Social Distortion was formed in late 1978 by frontman Mike Ness, inspired by British punk bands and also by older acts such as The Rolling Stones. The original lineup consisted of Ness on lead guitar, Rikk and Frank Agnew on guitars, and Casey Royer on drums.[4] Ness met Dennis Danell, who was a year older, in high school and insisted he join the band on bass guitar even though Danell had never played an instrument before. When Danell was brought in, Frank, Rikk and Casey left to form their own band.[4] Mike and Dennis remained the only constant members for the next two decades, with bass and drums changing hands every few years.
Its first single, Mainliner/Playpen, was released in 1981 on Posh Boy, the label responsible for releasing the first singles and albums of many of the local O.C. punk bands.[4] A disc jockey by the name of Rodney Bingenheimer of KROQ-FM was responsible for much of the radio play in Orange County, California, that punk received in the early 80's, and took a liking to Social Distortion, releasing the single "1945" on his 1981 compilation album, Rodney on the ROQ, Blood On The ROQ in 1983, and The Best Of Rodney On The ROQ in 1989.
In 1982, the band—now consisting of Ness, Danell (who now played rhythm guitar), Brent Liles on bass, and Derek O'Brien on drums—embarked on their first national tour with fellow punk band Youth Brigade, a trip chronicled in the punk rockumentary Another State of Mind, which was not released until 1984.
Mommy's Little Monster and first hiatus (1983-1985)
Upon its return from the Another State of Mind tour in 1982, they recorded their debut album, Mommy's Little Monster. The album was released in early 1983 on their own label, 13th Floor Records. Mommy's Little Monster includes the title track as well as the song for which the previous tour was named, "Another State of Mind". This was the album that "gained the band a national name in punk circles".[4]
In 1984 the band was featured in the seminal punk rockumentary, Another State of Mind, which was written, produced and directed by Peter Stuart and Adam Small (co-creator of "Mad TV").
Ness mentions in his DVD commentary that he really had nowhere to stay when he got back to California after the tour ended, so he would crash on the couch of whoever would have him. He details how he plunged headfirst into serious drug addiction and ended up being strung out on heroin for weeks at a time. In 1983, Liles and O'Brien left the band in the middle of a show on New Year's Eve, and were replaced soon thereafter by John Maurer, who knew Ness from school in Fullerton, CA, and Christopher Reece on drums.[4] Ness's drug habit continued throughout 1984 and 1985 as the band continued to gain success with Another State of Mind appearing as one of the punk rarities on MTV, and touring in California and Arizona. As a result of Ness's escalating drug habit and troubles with the law, Social Distortion briefly went on hiatus in 1985. During this time, Ness was in and out of rehabilitation centers as well as serving short stints in various jails.
First comeback and Prison Bound (1986-1988)
The band reformed in or around 1986, once Ness finished his drug rehabilitation program. It released its second album, Prison Bound, two years later in 1988—over five years after their debut. The album included then-newcomers John Maurer on bass and Christopher Reece on drums. Although Prison Bound never charted on Billboard, the title track found airplay on the Los Angeles, California radio station, KROQ-FM.
A notable style change takes place in Prison Bound. While Mommy's Little Monster falls under the general category of punk rock or hardcore punk, Prison Bound takes on a definite country/western flavor and marks the start of the band's entrance into a style called "cowpunk." Country legend Johnny Cash and The Rolling Stones' honky tonk style became more prominent influences on Social Distortion's music at this time. There are references to Cash and the Stones in the songs "Prison Bound" and "On My Nerves," and they also cover a Stones song titled "Backstreet Girl," which has a major key sound that foreshadows the more focused cowpunk sound of the later albums.
Five years had passed since releasing its debut. The success was just beginning and, in fact, taking time between albums became a pattern for Social Distortion. Ness acknowledges in a 2003 interview that it is a little backward, marketing-wise, to play songs for the fans for a few years before recording them—but it has always worked well for them. "We know which songs are going to be fan favorites on the record before we even record them."[6]
[edit] Major label years and mainstream success (1989-1996)
After the release of Prison Bound, Social Distortion left Restless Records and signed with Epic. The band then returned to the studio around the summer/fall of 1989, with producer Dave Jerden, to begin recording their self-titled third album, Social Distortion, which was released in 1990. It was Social Distortion's first album that was not financed by the band.[4] The album includes the singles "Ball and Chain" and 'Story of My Life" as well as a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire". The self-titled album fared better than both Mommy's Little Monster and Prison Bound, and is often credited as Social Distortion's best known work, with sales continuing twenty years after its release. It is also sometimes cited as among the best rock albums of 1990—the album is said to "split the difference between rockabilly and Ramones-style punk."[7]
The fourth album, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, was released in 1992. The album included two hit singles—"Bad Luck", and "When She Begins". Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell surpassed all their previous albums in popularity, and received some general radio play with the single, "Bad Luck".[8] The album has a similar sound to the previous, eponymous, album, said to be a blend of "punk, blues, country and rockabilly".[8] After the release of this album, drummer Christopher Reece left Social Distortion in 1994 and was replaced by Randy Carr. Carr toured with the band and played drums on live performances until he left in 1995.
The band took another hiatus after the release of Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, and did not return to the studio until 1995.[4] During the break Social Distortion released a compilation album, Mainliner: Wreckage From the Past (1995), featuring pre-Mommy's Little Monster cuts. It contains two versions of "1945" and "Playpen" from their two indie labels, 13th Floor, and Posh Boy, and also a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb".
In June 1994, the band began demoing songs for the fifth album,[9] then returned to the studio in 1995 to record White Light, White Heat, White Trash, which was released in 1996.[4] The album is said to have taken on a harder sound than those preceding it,[10] and to not focus as much on their previous blues and rockabilly sound.[11] The single "I Was Wrong" received wide radio play and is said to resemble "the classic sound more than any other track on the album".[10] The album also features the singles "When the Angels Sing," which is said to be a tribute to Ness's grandmother, who was an avid supporter of the band,[10] and "Don't Drag Me Down". The album also included a re-recorded version of "Under My Thumb", a cover of The Rolling Stones, as a hidden track. Former Danzig drummer Chuck Biscuits joined the band between the recording and release of the album, and is credited in the liner notes although this album actually features session drummer Deen Castronovo.[11] White Light, White Heat, White Trash was the final Social Distortion album recorded with Dennis Danell before his death.
Second hiatus, aftermath of Danell's death and Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll (1997-2004)
In 1997, Social Distortion left Epic and returned to Time Bomb Recordings for the first time in eight years. It released its first (and only) live album, Live at the Roxy in 1998. Social Distortion went on hiatus again as Ness went solo, releasing two albums, Cheating at Solitaire and Under the Influences, featuring song covers, in 1999.
Dennis Danell died on February 29, 2000 in his Newport Beach home after apparently suffering a brain aneurysm, leaving Ness as the only remaining original member of the band. There have been some rumors claiming that the band broke up again, following his death. He was replaced by former U.S. Bombs and L.A.'s Youth Brigade guitarist Jonny Wickersham, who had previously been Danell's guitar technician. Biscuits also left during that time, and was replaced by Charlie Quintana. After Danell's death, the band continued touring semi-frequently, playing sold-out shows in the Los Angeles, California area around the New Year for three straight years.
Social Distortion started work on the follow-up to White Light, White Heat, White Trash in 2000, which was originally to be released in the fall of that year,[12] but it was not completed. Since 2001, due to the band's ongoing tour schedule, the album's release was put on hold several times. In the fall of 2003, after completing demos, Social Distortion returned to the studio with producer Cameron Webb to complete the album.[12] Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll, released on September 28, 2004, would be the band's first release with Wickersham and Quintana. Just a month before the release of the album, longtime bassist John Maurer left the band to stay with his family, and was replaced by Rancid's Matt Freeman. He stayed until late 2004, and was replaced by current bassist Brent Harding.
Subsequent activities and departure of Quintana (2005-2009)
Social Distortion continued touring on and off between 2005 and 2007. The band were scheduled to headline the Soundwave Festival in Australia in February-March 2008, along with Incubus and The Offspring, but the festival was cancelled, just as it was the previous year.[13] During this time, the band played with various other bands, including Versus the World, Tsar, Shooter Jennings, I Hate Kate, The Black Halos, Flogging Molly, Nine Black Alps, The Supersuckers, Blackpool Lights, The Lost City Angels, The Street Dogs, The Backyard Babies, The Hangmen, The Eyeliners, Cooper, Mest, Bullets and Octane, and The Dead 60's.
In February 2006, Ness was injured and broke his wrist in a skateboarding accident. He had his good friend, TSOL guitarist Ron Emory fill his place on guitar for the tour while he continued to sing for the band with his arm in a cast and sling. As of July 2006, Emory was no longer filling for Ness. The Hangmen's Bryan Small also filled for Ness.
Original member Brent Liles, who played bass on Mommy's Little Monster, died on January 18, 2007 after being hit by a semi truck while riding a dirt bike in Placentia, California.[14]
Social Distortion released its first Greatest Hits compilation on June 26, 2007. It includes hit singles from Mommy's Little Monster to Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll, yet lacks any song from Mainliner. Along with a new studio recording of the song, "Far Behind", new studio recordings of 6 of their classic songs are included as well. Rerecording these songs allowed the band to own rights to them again, instead of Epic (their former label) owning them. Through iTunes in the U.S., as a download only, the Greatest Hits also includes a new Social Distortion cover version of the Chuck Berry classic "Maybellene". Ness stated in an interview that this Greatest Hits "technically means what was good with radio."[15] Ness also stated in the same interview that "we may follow this up with something that is more essential Social D. – songs that are the band's favorites."
In April 2009 the band announced that longtime drummer Charlie Quintana was leaving the band:
After ten amazing years behind the drum kit for Social Distortion, Charlie "Chalo" Quintana has announced he’s moving on to explore other musical opportunities. Charlie had this to say about his departure, "Playing with Social D for ten years was a good time in my life. I was lucky to play on two Social D records and the second solo album, and I am proud to have been part of the band. We hit some spectacular heights which I will never forget – adios amigos!"[16][17]
Quintana's replacement was announced as Angels & Airwaves drummer Adam "Atom" Willard, formerly of Rocket from the Crypt and The Offspring.[16][17]
A European tour together with The Gaslight Anthem followed in June 2009 as part of the band's 30th anniversary of underground Rock'n'Roll.
Next album (2009-present)
In April 2008, Ness told Spinner that Social Distortion was planning an acoustic album to be released in 2009, stating "I think it could be really, really neat. It's almost like a Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen/Johnny Cash kind of feel with a punk edge ... but acoustic. Sometimes [the songs] are more powerful stripped down than with full volume." Ness also revealed plans for his next solo album, but he was not sure if it was going to be released before or after the follow-up to Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll or the acoustic album.[18]
In July 2009, Ness revealed to Russian's Tarakany! Bad TV that Social Distortion was planning to enter the studio in December 2009 or the beginning of 2010 to begin recording a follow-up to Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll.[19] In September that year, he confirmed that the album would be recorded in January 2010 at Studio 606, a studio owned by the Foo Fighters.[20][21] Asked when the album was expected to be released, Ness stated that it would "probably be out" in the spring or summer of 2010.[22]
In October 2009, guitarist Jonny "2 Bags" Wickersham told Boston Examiner that Social Distortion was expected to enter the studio on February 1 for a late spring release. Asked what musical direction the band would be taking on the album, he said that it will be "very rock and roll," and include a country song in the vein of the band's 1992 album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. Wickersham explained, "It's not like we're going to start putting out a record like we've been listening to The Dead or something. We've got a handful of songs right now that are finished, and bunch that we're still working on."[23]
On December 29, 2009, Social Distortion announced on its official website that it will embark on its first South American tour in April. Ness commented, "The band and I are really looking forward to our tour of South America. From the overwhelming amount of emails we receive from our fans in South America, it's crazy to think that it's taken this long for us to come down and tour. We couldn't be more thrilled to announce that we're finally making it happen and we look forward to meeting our loyal fans in Brazil and Argentina for the first time. We hope to come home with a few new fans as well".[24]
On February 7, 2010, Social Distortion announced on its Twitter account that it would start recording a new album on February 8th.[5]
In a February 2010 interview with Spinner, Ness revealed that the band had just tracked 12 songs, and was "going to probably track another five". He says the self-produced, still-untitled album, which he hopes to release before the end of the year, will feature the classic Social Distortion sound -- a combination of punk, rockabilly and country, presumably. He explained, "It's funny -- the record reminds me very much of Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, but also I'm bringing elements of early New York '70s punk, influences that maybe haven't come out as prominently in my writing in the past. It's a little more Johnny Thunders. Some of the early first wave of punk was very blues-based rock 'n' roll, but it had this urban snottiness to it." Ness also explained what happened to the acoustic album, which was announced back in 2008, "The acoustic thing is just a future project, which I think will be significant and equally important. But as far as the priority goes, it's more important now to get a studio record out that is a regular record".[25] While recording the album, Social Distortion announced in March 2010 that Adam Willard "...will no longer be able to continue on drums...", "...due to many foreseeable scheduling conflicts with his band Angels And Airwaves...".[26] Fu Manchu drummer Scott Reeder filled in for Willard for the South American tour.[27]
On April 1, 2010, it was reported on the official Social Distortion website that the band is taking a break from the studio to rehearse for their South American tour.[28]
Social Distortion will be one of the headliners at Lollapalooza 2010.[29] Prior to this, they will embark on an East Coast tour that July and August.[30]
On May 11, 2010, Epitaph Records officially announced that they have signed Social Distortion.[31] The label will release the band's new album in the fall of 2010.
Logo
The band has consistently used a skeleton logo during their career. It has been used by the band as a mascot. It is frequently used during live performances as well as album covers.
The hanging logo, which has also been the trademark of Social D; a skeleton with a cigarette and martini glass is usually the background behind the drum set at live shows.[32]
The logo is also used as a moniker for the band on merchandise, tour posters and branding. It is not uncommon to see Social Distortion fans with a tattoo of the logo.
Musical style, influences, and impact
Social Distortion's musical style began as decidedly punk rock or hardcore punk when the band formed in the late 1970s. They are thought to be one of the pioneering bands of the original Southern California punk rock movement out of Orange County, California, and their style closely associated with the The Dickies, The Germs, and other bands from that place and time. In the mid-80's there was a notable change in their style of music – taking more from their country music and classic rock and roll roots. Mike Ness admits in the DVD commentary from Another State of Mind that he may have even tried too hard on the Prison Bound album. They did eventually find their niche, and the majority of their albums from the mid-80's on to the early 90's are considered to be cowpunk or rockabilly – a melodic punk sound that is distinctly – and distinctively – their own.
The music was mostly initially inspired equally by Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran, and The Rolling Stones, as well as early punk bands like the Sex Pistols, The Clash and Ramones,[33] and it has influenced various contemporary artists such as Alkaline Trio, Pearl Jam, Rise Against, Sum 41, The Offspring, Pennywise, Rancid, and Thrice. The band began playing with fellow Orange County, California bands such as The Adolescents, China White, and Shattered Faith as part of the nascent hardcore movement. The music was fast, angry and energetic.
Most of Social Distortion's songs are written and sung by Mike Ness. There is a common theme in most of his lyrics about "impulsiveness, its consequences and the hard struggle for maturity".[4] Other band members who have co-written Social Distortion songs are Dennis Danell ("The Creeps",[34] "Indulgence", "Like an Outlaw (For You)", "On My Nerves", and "I Want What I Want"); Brent Liles ("Mass Hysteria"); Jonny Wickersham ("Nickels and Dimes", "Faithless", and "Angel's Wings"); and John Maurer ("Let It Be Me").

Beast and The Harlot (Avenged Sevenfold)

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye round here look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his thrown but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The Beast and the Harlot.

The day has come for all us sinners, if your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city looking back on her to see there's nothin' around.
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell, but we made the wrong decision
And it's easy to see. Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us your
Welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

Sory nie lirik'a tlg pasin sndri iia lirik sma chordnya!!!

X Japan

X JAPAN adalah band musik J-Rock asal Jepang yang dibentuk tahun 1982 oleh pianis sekaligus drumer bernama Yoshiki dan vokalis Toshimitsu "Toshi" Deyama.[1] Band yang aslinya bernama X ini melambung ke puncak kesuksesan setelah merilis album kedua mereka BLUE BLOOD. Mereka memulai karir sebagai band Heavy metal dan akhirnya beralih ke Progressive Rock, sambil terus menulis lagu-lagu ballad. Mereka sendiri menyebut musik mereka sebagai "Speed Metal" dan "Rock Ballad". Setelah mengeluarkan 3 album berikutnya, band ini bubar tahun 1997, setelah menyelenggarakan konser "The Last Live" tanggal 31 Desember 1997.
Sejarah
Tahun-tahun awal (1976-1983)
Band ini direncanakan sejak 1976 oleh Yoshiki Hayashi dan Toshi (Toshimitsu Deyama) saat mereka masih di SD. Terpengaruh musik hard rock Barat, ada yang mengatakan gaya mereka mirip KISS tetapi sebenarnya mereka menggunakan gaya visual yang di jepang sudah ada yaitu bermula saat Jepang mengalami perubahan besar-besaran usai Perang Dunia II. Saat itu ada suatu komunitas yang ‘terbuang’ dari masyarakat. Komunitas ini tidak hanya berbicara melalui mulut dan tulisan, tapi juga lewat penampilan. Sebelum band diberi nama X, mereka menggunakan nama Dynamite (dari 1978-1980), dan Noise (1980 hingga musim panas 1982). Nama band baru diubah menjadi X JAPAN di tahun 1992, setelah keluarnya pemain bass terdahulu mereka, Taiji.
Disaat band ini masih bernama "noise", mereka mengikuti audisi band "East West Japan" tahun 1982saat itu mereka memainkan lagu "Rock and Roll" (Led Zeppelin) dan "Burn" (Deep Purple). Mereka lalu ikut serta dalam festival sekolah mereka di tahun 1982, mereka membawakan lagu antara lain "The World Anthem" (Frank marino) dan "Highway Star" (Deep Purple). Yoshiki, Toshi, dan Terry pertama kali melakukan pertunjukkan live dibawah nama "X" di tahun 1983. Pada waktu itu mereka naik panggung di festival yang diadakan di SMA mereka di Chiba. Saat itu mereka sudah membawakan lagu asli ciptaan Yoshiki berjudul "I'LL KILL YOU" dan "We are X". Selain itu, di festival yang sama, mereka membawakan lagu "Burn" (Deep Purple),"In the Mirror" (Loudness), dan "Killers" (Iron Maiden).
Era Indie (1984-1988)
X merilis demo tape pertama mereka "I'LL KILL YOU" pada tahun 1984 di perusahaan rekaman Dada Records. Di dalam demo tape tersebut berisi 3 buah lagu: "I'LL KILL YOU", "We are X", dan "Stop Bloody Rain".
Lagu-lagu dalam demo tape ini membuat kelompok ini mulai dikenal, dan dilanjutkan dengan merilis sebuah indie single berjudul "I'LL KILL YOU" dengan "BREAK THE DARKNESS" sebagai c/w di bulan Mei 1985. Anggota X saat itu terdiri dari Yoshiki (drum & piano), Toshi (vokal), Terry (gitar), Tomo (gitar), dan Atsushi (bass). Pada mulanya, cara berpakaian mereka menyebabkan tidak ada label rekaman yang mau mengontrak mereka untuk rekaman, tapi gaya berpakaian ala X nantinya menjadi ciri khas gerakan Visual Kei dalam musik rock Jepang.

Di bulan Juli 1985, mereka merilis 2 buah demo tape,"X Live" dan "Endless Dream". Masing-masing memiliki lagu yang sama ("Kurenai", "Endless Dream", "Lady in Tears",dan "Stop Bloody Rain"), tapi dengan urutan lagu yang berbeda.
Demo tape "Feel Me Tonight" dirilis pada Oktober 1985. Lagu ini nampaknya pertama kali dibawakan pada pertunjukkan Live saat ulang tahun Yoshiki pada 20 November 1985, sedangkan lagu "Stab Me in the Back" (c/w) tidak pernah dibawakan secara live hingga di tahun 1986. Kedua lagu pada demo tape tersebut dinyanyikan oleh Hally. Pada tahun ini juga, mereka membawakan lagu "God Save The Queen" yang aslinya dibawakan kelompok Sex Pistols.




Di bulan November 1985, mereka menampilkan versi baru dari lagu "BREAK THE DARKNESS" di album kompilasi "Heavy Metal Force III".
Tidak berhenti begitu saja, Yoshiki membuat taruhan besar dalam hidupnya dan menjual seluruh harta warisan ayahnya untuk mendirikan label rekaman sendiri dengan nama Extasy Records. Perusahaan rekaman ini nantinya menjadi label rekaman pertama khusus band-band Visual Kei, termasuk di antaranya: Luna Sea, Glay, dan Zi:KILL.
Demo tape "Kurenai" dirilis di awal tahun 1986, berisikan lagu "Kurenai" (dalam bahasa Inggris).
Musim panas tahun 1986, mereka merilis "Jun Demo Tape". Di dalam demo tersebut terdapat 4 lagu: "Right Now", "Only Way", "Tune Up Baby" dan track ke-4 yang tanpa judul.
Di bulan April 1986, indie single ke dua,"ORGASM" dirilis Extasy Records.Single ini terdiri atas lagu "Orgasm", "Time Trip Loving" (ditulis oleh Jun) serta "X". Setelah EP ini dirilis, mereka memulai untuk tur. Pada tahun itu juga (27 Juli 1986), Toshi, Yoshiki, dan Jun, pertama kali tampil di televisi,yaitu di acara berjudul Tensai Takeshi no Genki ga Deru Terebi.
Di bulan Maret 1987, mereka memasukkan 2 lagu: "Stab Me in the Back" dan "No Connexion" ke dalam album kompilasi Skull Trash Zone Vol.1. Anggota resmi saat itu terdiri dari: Toshi, Yoshiki, dan Taiji. Gitaris mereka, Isao patah lengan karena kecelakaan mobil, sehingga Pata ikut bergabung sebagai gitaris pendukung, tapi bukan sebagai anggota resmi. Sementara itu, Yoshiki menghubungi hide, leader dari Saver Tiger band Visual Kei asal Yokosuka(mereka pertama kali bertemu saat X dan Saver Tiger ikut serta dalam Heavy Metal Force vol.III). Yoshiki lalu mengajak hide untuk bergabung dengan X.
Hide menyambut ajakan Yoshiki dan resmi sebagai gitaris X sejak bulan Maret 1987. Bulan berikutnya (April 1987), Pata diangkat sebagai menjadi gitaris resmi, melengkapi formasi band X. Di bulan Agustus 1987, mereka merilis video live "Xclamation". Di dalamnya terdapat lagu "Xclamation", "Stab Me in the Back", dan "Kurenai" (English Version). Pada 26 Desember 1987, X melakukan pertunjukan di Audisi CBS Sony, mereka memainkan "Xclamation", "Piano solo~Kurenai (English)", dan "Orgasm".
Era X (1988-1992)
X merilis album perdana mereka, VANISHING VISION pada 14 April 1988). Pada saat itu, anggotanya adalah Yoshiki (drum, piano), Toshi (vokal), Hide (gitar), Pata(gitar), dan Taiji (bass). Album tersebut laris dan dicetak ulang di bulan Oktober dengan bonus lagu "Stab Me in the Back", dan dicetak ulang kembali pada bulan Oktober 1989.
Di bulan Juni 1988, lagu mereka "Kurenai" dijadikan bonus CD di majalah Rockin F dengan versi yang berbeda, yaitu dibuka dengan alunan piano dan dengan lirik campuran dari versi Inggris dan versi Jepang.
Majalah Street Rock Video VOS menampilkan Toshi sebagai sampul majalah mereka di bulan November 1988. Edisi bulan tersebut memberikan Bonus Video klip X memainkan lagu "Vanishing Vision" dan "Orgasm" di Kyoto Sports Valley, berikut wawancara dengan Yoshiki yang saat itu sedang menandatangani kontrak dengan Sony.
Di tahun 1988, X berpartisipasi dalam film Amerika Tokyo Pop, tapi mereka hanya tampil sebagai cameo dan penampilan mereka tidak lebih dari 20 detik. Pada 16 Maret 1989, mereka merilis "ThanX" video, yang menampilkan pembuatan video klip Kurenai (versi album BLUE BLOOD, bukan versi album "VANISHING VISION"). Pada 21 April 1989, X merilis album mereka yang paling sukses, Blue Blood. Setelah dirilisnya album tersebut, dimulailah tur bernama "Blue Blood Tour" yang ternyata sukses besar.
Setelah menyelesaikan tur "Blue Blood Tour", Yoshiki dan kawan-kawan mulai menulis lagu baru. Selain itu, mereka juga membuat beberapa PV (video promosi) untuk beberapa lagu dalam album Blue Blood, seperti Celebration yang diambil di New York (berbeda dengan yang di Visual Shock Vol.2,5). Video klip ini menampilkan Toshi, hide, Pata, dan Taiji, sedangkan Yoshiki sedang berada di Paris untuk membuat video Rose of Pain. X menjadi sangat populer di Jepang dan sering muncul dalam berbagai acara televisi. Tur mereka selanjutnya diberi nama, "Rose & Blood Tour".
Pada 23 November 1989,Yoshiki pingsan di tengah-tengah Rose & Blood Tour dikarenakan cara bermain Drum-nya yang ekstrim. Yoshiki harus menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit karena hal tersebut, selama di Rumah Sakit Yoshiki membuat sebuah lagu terhebat untuk X.Dikarenakan pada saat itu lagu tersebut masih belum sempurna, lagu tersebut hanya dijadikan sebuah Demo Tape.
Pada tahun 1990, Toshi & Yoshiki ikut berpartisipasi dalam L.O.X. Shake Hand "compilation album". Album kompilasi ini bukan berisi kumpulan lagu dari band yang berbeda-beda, melainkan album yang meng-"kompilasi"-kan anggota-anggota band yang berbeda untuk membuat semacam "band impian". Toshi berada di posisi vokal, dan Yoshiki pada drum (dengan nama Rei Shiratori), Naoki (Lip Cream) pada Gitar, Act (Orange) pada Bass. Musisi lain yang juga ikut berpartisipasi, antara lain: Butaman (Tetsu Array), Ishiya (Death Side), Ranko (Sperma), Selain musik speed metal dan ballad yang dibawakan Yoshiki dan Toshi, anggota lainnya adalah member band punk/hardcore, di antara lagu-lagu mereka antara lain "Tragedy of M".
Di tahun 1991, semua personil pergi ke Los Angeles untuk memulai rekaman album baru mereka, Jealousy. Setelah 7 bulan rekaman, mereka kembali ke Jepang dan merilis album Jealousy pada 1 Juli 1991 di Jepang. Album ini langsung naik ke posisi pertama tangga album Oricon Charts. Setelah dirilisnya album ini, mereka memulai tur berikutnya, Violence in Jealousy (1991).
Dengan dirilisnya album Jealousy, X menjadi bertambah populer di Jepang. Selain itu, kepopuleran mereka bertambah karena lebih sering melakukan tur dibandingkan setelah merilis album Vanishing Vision dan Blue Blood. Beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa album ini adalah "Album"-nya X, karena setiap personil menyumbangkan ide-idenya, di Visual Shock Vol.3 juga digambarkan masing-masing personil dengan lagu yang dibuatnya. (Toshi: "Desperate Angel", hide: "Love Replica", Pata: "White wind from Mr.Martin", Taiji: "Voiceless Screaming", Yoshiki: "Silent Jealousy"). Selama proses perekaman album ini, Yoshiki dan Taiji mulai memiliki perbedaan konsep bermusik. Pada tanggal 5, 6, 7 bulan Januari 1992, X menggelar rangkaian konser "On The Verge of Destruction" di Tokyo Dome. Pada hari ketiga, tanggal 7 Januari 1992, konser ini merupakan konser terakhir (Last Live) bagi Taiji yang keluar dari X karena perbedaan konsep bermusik antara dirinya dan Yoshiki tidak dapat disatukan lagi. Lagipula Yoshiki adalah pemimpin dari X, sehingga Taiji memilih untuk mengundurkan diri. Setelah keluar dari X, Taiji bergabung dengan Loudness, D.T.R. dan Cloud 9.
Era X JAPAN (1992-1997)
Pada tahun 1991, X sudah sangat terkenal di Jepang, karena itu mereka mencoba "Go International" ke Amerika Serikat. Ternyata di Amerika sudah ada band yang juga bernama X, jadi pada 23 Agustus 1992 mereka memutuskan untuk mengubah nama band menjadi X Japan. Pada saat itu, Heath telah bergabung dengan X Japan.
Setelah pertunjukan live pertama dengan Heath di Extasy Summit'92 (pesta rock terbesar yang diadakan Extasy Records milik Yoshiki), Yoshiki kembali harus menjalani perawatan di rumah sakit akibat bermain drum dengan ekstrim pada acara tersebut. Selama di rumah sakit, Yoshiki menyempurnakan sebuah lagu terhebat (Ultimate Song) dari X Japan, berjudul "Art of Life". Lagu ini adalah sebuah lagu progessive rock/metal yang mencampurkan musik klasik dengan panjang lagu 29 menit (menjadikannya sebagai salah satu lagu terpanjang di dunia).
Art of Life adalah demo yang diciptakan Yoshiki ketika dia menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit pada era Rose & Blood,dengan nama "End of the World". Pada saat itu Taiji masih berada di posisi bass,jadi terdapat 2 buah demotape dari Art of Life,perbedaanya hanyalah pada bassisst-nya saja). Lagu "Art of Life" dirilis sebagai sebuah mini album dengan judul yang sama seperti judul lagunya
Di minggu pertama lagu ini dirilis, lagu ini langsung sukses luar biasa. "Art of Life" hanya pernah dimainkan live sebanyak 2 kali, yaitu pada tanggal 30 & 31 Desember 1993 saat konser "X Japan Returns" digelar di Tokyo Dome. Di saat konser, X Japan melakukan improvisasi yang membuat lagu ini bertambah panjang menjadi setengah jam lebih. Di konser ini juga Toshi untuk pertama kalinya berpenampilan dengan rambut terurai ke bawah dan dengan make-up yang tidak tebal.
Musik X di bawah tangan dingin Yoshiki tak pernah berhenti berevolusi. Warna musik mereka dimulai dari speed metal seperti "Sadistic Desire", "Phantom of Guilt", dan "Vanishing Love", sampai ke lagu ballad seperti "Tears" dan "Say Anything", serta Alternative Rock berjudul "Dahlia" dan "Rusty Nail" dari era terakhir mereka. Hampir seluruh lagu X diciptakan oleh Yoshiki dan disusun oleh hide dan Taiji di awal karir mereka.
Kegemaran Yoshiki akan musik klasik sangat mempengaruhi musik-musik X, seperti pada lagu "Rose of Pain", "Art of Life", dan "Amethyst". Yoshiki memiliki Album yang bernama Eternal Melody, dimana lagu-lagu X diaransemen oleh George Martin dan penata lagu untuk musik-musik klasik lainnya. Kedua album tersebut dimainkan London Philharmonic Orchestra dan dirilis tahun 1993. Yoshiki juga memilih beberapa musik klasik untuk dimasukkan ke dalam 2 buah album kompilasi berjudul Yoshiki Selection dan Yoshiki Selection II. Yoshiki juga menulis ulang lagu "Black Diamond" milik KISS menjadi lagu klasik yang terdapat di album Kiss My Ass, sebuah album tribute untuk KISS yang dirilis pada tahun 1994.
Setelah merilis ART OF LIFE, mereka merilis salah satu lagu X JAPAN yang paling populer, "Tears" dalam bentuk single. Lagu ini dimainkan di beberapa acara TV dan ketika konser X JAPAN Returns. Di tahun yang sama, X juga merilis sebuah album kompilasi yang memuat single-single populer mereka di saat masih bernama X, dan album kompilasi tersebut diberi nama X Singles.
Walaupun pada saat itu Heath telah bergabung dengan X Japan, tetapi seluruh permainan bass yang terdapat di "X Singles" adalah permainan bass Taiji. Hal ini sengaja dilakukan sebagai penghormatan terhadap Taiji yang telah ikut bersama-sama membesarkan nama X.Di tahun-tahun berikutnya,X JAPAN juga terus merilis album-album kompilasi dengan Taiji diposisi bass untuk menghormatinya.
Pada 10 Juli 1994 mereka merilis single lain, "Rusty Nail". Lagu ini langsung berada di peringkat 1 Oricon Chart di minggu pertama perilisannya, poster sampul single ini ditempel di sepanjang jalanan di Harajuku. Pada tanggal 20-22 Mei 1994, X JAPAN berpartisipasi pada event "Aoniyoshi Great Music Experience". Di event tersebut, X JAPAN tampil bersama Roger Taylor (Queen) dan artis-artis internasional lainnya. Pada tanggal 30 dan 31 Desember 1994, mereka menggelar konser "Aoi Yoru~Shiroi Yoru" di Tokyo Dome dan membawakan lagu baru berjudul "Dahlia", "Scars"(SCARS on melody), dan"Longing". Demo tape Longing dibagikan kepada beberapa orang saat konser. Semua lagu yang disebut tadi dimasukkan ke dalam album terakhir mereka, Dahlia.
Perpecahan band (1996-1997)
Pada bulan November 1995, X JAPAN menggelar Dahlia Tour 1995-1996 bersamaan dengan dirilisnya album kelima mereka DAHLIA. Pada tanggal 30 dan 31 Desember 1995, mereka menggelar Dahlia Tour on Tokyo Dome untuk menyambut tahun baru. Pada 13 Maret 1996, pada konser di Nagoya Rainbow Hall, Yoshiki kembali pingsan dikarenakan cara bermain drum yang ekstrim. Sejak saat itu Yoshiki diwajibkan oleh dokternya untuk mengenakan penyangga leher disaat bermain drum dikarenakan otot pada lehernya mengalami cedera.
Setelah Dahlia Tour Final 1996, di saat X Japan mencapai puncak kesuksesannya, Toshi mengatakan pada Yoshiki bahwa dia ingin mengundurkan diri dari X JAPAN. Karena Toshi sudah menjadi vokalis sejak band ini masih bernama "Noise" dan dia juga sudah menjadi icon dari X Japan, sangatlah mustahil untuk mengganti posisi Toshi. X JAPAN (tanpa Toshi) mengumumkan perpecahan band mereka saat konferensi pers tanggal 22 September 1997.
Toshi terlibat semacam sekte, berhubungan dengan alam dan terapi musikal, dipimpin oleh seseorang bernama Masaya. Banyak yang menyatakan bahwa inilah alasan sebenarnya Toshi mundur dari X Japan. Toshi lalu melanjutkan untuk bersolo karir,dia berkata bahwa Masaya telah menjadi sumber inspirasi barunya dalam bermusik. Banyak desas-desus yang bermunculan mengenai keterlibatan Toshi dan sekte yang dipimpin Masaya. Bahkan ada yang mengatakan bahwa Toshi telah di cuci otak. Dikatakan bahwa Toshi sempat berkelahi dengan adiknya karena Toshi telah menghabiskan banyak uang untuk sekte yang dipimpin Masaya. Hal ini dibantah Toshi karena Toshi mengatakan ia bertemu dengan Masaya setelah Toshi keluar dari band, dan Masaya juga hanyalah seorang pemusik biasa. Teori yang lain adalah karena Toshi telah menemukan "kebahagiaan" setelah ia menikah dan musik X sangatlah berbeda dengan dirinya sekarang (musik X JAPAN dominan berisi tentang kesedihan, kebencian dan insanity, yang bertolak belakang dengan diri Toshi setelah menikah). Alasan sebenarnya Toshi meninggalkan Band pada saat itu masih menjadi misteri. Pada tanggal 31 Desember 1997, X Japan menyelenggarakan konser terakhirnya di Tokyo Dome, The Last Live.
The Last Live
Konser terakhir dari X Japan ini nampak seperti copy dari konser Dahlia Tour Final 1996, tetapi pergulatan emosi yang terjadi antara para personil dengan para fans di konser ini jauh sangat besar. Di lagu-lagu yang dimainkan menjelang konser berakhir seluruh fans menangis, terutama di 4 lagu terakhir.
Di lagu "Forever Love" Toshi berpelukan dengan Yoshiki sambil menangis, hal yang sebenarnya ingin dilakukan Yoshiki saat ia menghampiri Toshi adalah memukul Toshi, tetapi ia tidak jadi melakukannya karena teringat bahwa mereka berdua adalah sahabat baik (mereka berteman sejak mereka masih duduk di bangku TK), karena itu Yoshiki lebih memilih untuk memeluk Toshi saat Toshi merangkulnya.
Sesaat sebelum lagu "Endless Rain" dimulai, Yoshiki menangis saat ia berterima kasih terhadap para personil X JAPAN dan seluruh fans. Di awal lagu, hide juga sempat tidak kuat menahan kesedihan dan menangis.
Disaat "The Last Song" selesai dinyanyikan (dimana semua penonton telah menangis), lagu "Tears" diputar dan layar besar di panggung menampilkan cuplikan-cuplikan perjalanan X Japan dari saat mereka masih sebuah band indie kecil sampai menjadi band nomor satu se-Jepang.
Di DVD The Last Live, Yoshiki memotong 3 buah lagu terakhir (Curtain call~Say Anything, The Last Song, dan Epilogue~Tears). Hal ini dikarenakan Yoshiki tidak pernah menginginkan X Japan bubar (jika konser berakhir maka itu berarti X Japan telah bubar). Karena itu Yoshiki memutuskan agar rekaman The Last Live menjadi sebuah konser yang tidak pernah berakhir (dalam versi DVD, konser selesai di lagu "Endless Rain"). Selain itu di konser "The Last Live" terdapat 2 buah Closing S.E. yang dipotong sama sekali oleh Yoshiki (tidak terdapat di DVD, maupun CD album "Last Live") yaitu "Unfinished" dan "Forever Love~Last Mix".
Setelah Bubar(1998-2006)
Setelah X Japan bubar, hide melanjutkan solo karirnya dengan band yang dibentuknya hide with Spread Beaver. Pata ikut serta membantu hide. Pata dan heath bergabung dengan DopeHEADz sampai band tersebut bubar di tahun 2003. Heath lalu bersolo karir di band Lynx, dan Pata di band Ra:IN.
Toshi pergi ke tempat terpencil bersama Masaya, ia mengembangkan musik mereka untuk menolong orang-orang sakit. Dia diberitakan di tahun 2004 bahwa ia telah menyiksa anak-anak dan mencuci otak mereka untuk menuruti perintahnya. Toshi, dalam situsnya, mengatakan bahwa itu semua adalah bohong, dia mengatakan bahwa ia dan Masaya tidak akan pernah menyakiti orang-orang.
Yoshiki dan hide dipercaya berencana membangkitkan kembali X di tahun 2000, dan mencari seseorang untuk menggantikan posisi Toshi. Sebuah tragedi besar menyebabkan hal ini tidak akan pernah terjadi saat hide meninggal pada tanggal 2 Mei 1998, setelah malam sebelumnya ia mabuk-mabukan. hide ditemukan tergantung di gagang pintu kamar mandinya dengan sebuah handuk melilit lehernya. Berita ini mengejutkan seluruh Jepang;4 orang fans memutuskan untuk bunuh diri karena tidak rela hide meninggal, 2 diantaranya meninggal. Banyak spekulasi yang bermunculan mengenai meninggalnya hide. Bunuh diri ataukah kecelakaan semata, tetapi sama sekali tidak ada motif bagi hide untuk bunuh diri. Ada yang mengatakan lirik lagu "Pink Spider" yang singlenya dijadwalkan dirilis tanggal 3 Mei 1998 (sehari setelah meninggalnya hide)adalah semacam "pesan kematian" atau semacamnya. Taiji, dalam buku yang ditulisnya(berjudul "X no Sei to Shi:Uchuu wo Kaeru tomo e" atau "Death and Life of X:To My Friends Who Flies Through Universe") mengatakan bahwa seluruh personil X Japan memiliki kebiasaan untuk mengikatkan handuk ke leher dan bahu mereka setelah selesai show. Kemungkinan hide berniat melakukan hal tersebut, tetapi karena mabuk ia malah terjatuh (hal yang sangat mungkin terjadi karena hide sedang berada di kamar mandi) dan tidak kuasa untuk melepaskan handuk yang melilit lehernya. Hal ini merupakan hal yang paling disetujui oleh fans-fans hide, mengenai kematian hide. Pada tanggal 5 Mei 1998, digelar upacara pemakaman hide. X Japan memainkan lagu "Scars" dan "Forever Love" di upacara pemakamannya. Taiji juga datang ke pemakaman hide. Ini adalah pertama kalinya Taiji bertemu kembali dengan para personil X Japan setelah ia keluar dari Band tersebut.
Shock karena meninggalnya hide, Yoshiki mendapat depresi yang sangat berat selama hampir 3 tahun, dia tidak bisa bermain atau mengarang musik lagi.
Di akhir tahun 2000, Yoshiki pulih, dan ia mengumumkan proyek barunya Violet UK, sebuah proyek yang mencampurkan unsur musik dengan visual dan seni. Di tahun 2002 dia memproduseri dan membintangi iklan sebuah toko 7-Eleven, menggunakan musik Violet UK dan beberapa konsep untuk hal tersebut. Sayangnya, tidak banyak musik Violet UK yang dirilis ke pasaran. Di tahun yang sama, Yoshiki mengumumkan bahwa ia akan bergabung dengan band J-POP Globe, untuk membantu teman lamanya,Tetsuya Komuro (di tahun 1991 mereka berkolaborasi dengan nama V2, dengan Yoshiki di posisi drum, sedangkan Komuro di keyboard dan vokal).
Awal tahun 2007, Yoshiki mengumumkan bahwa ia akan membentuk band yang beranggotakan 5 orang personil, sampai saat ini baru ada 4 orang yang pasti bergabung dengan band tersebut yaitu: Gackt (ex. vokalis Malice Mizer) di posisi vokal, Sugizo (ex. Gitaris Luna Sea) di posisi gitar, Miyavi (ex. gitaris Due'le Quartz) diposisi gitar, dan Yoshiki di posisi drum dan piano, sedangkan pada posisi Bass, diisi Ju-Ken (bassis GacktJob) tetapi hanya sebagai additional. Pada tanggal 25 May 2007, Yoshiki mengumumkan berdirinya band bernama S.K.I.N..
Di tahun 2007,Heath baru saja merilis album solo ketiganya yg berjudul "Desert Rain" dan Taiji kembali bersolo karir dengan band barunya "Otokaze" yang ia bentuk bersama adik perempuannya.
Pada tanggal 11 Februari 2007, di Blog-nya Toshi mengatakan bahwa ia dan Yoshiki sudah menyelesaikan lagu baru dari X JAPAN yang bejudul "Without You". Di bulan itu juga, pengumuman mengenai konser reuni X JAPAN untuk merayakan 25 tahun berdirinya X JAPAN diumumkan oleh Yoshiki dan Toshi di blog mereka masing-masing.
X JAPAN juga dikabarkan tampil dalam acara NHK Kouhaku Utagassen pada tanggal 31 December 2007. Selain itu X JAPAN juga menyumbangkan sebuah lagu baru sebagai soundtrack untuk film "SAW IV" yang berjudul "I.V.".
Kembalinya X JAPAN
Setelah hampir 10 tahun bubar,X JAPAN kembali melakukan pertunjukkan perdananya di hadapan publik pada saat pengambilan gambar untuk PV terbaru mereka,"I.V.",di Odaiba Aqua City pada tanggal 22 Oktober 2007.
Sekitar 10.000 fans mendatangi Aqua City untuk menyaksikan kemunculan kembali X Japan.Ke-empat personil X Japan muncul di panggung untuk melakukan PV shooting,terlihat diatas panggung terdapat sebuah ruang kosong,dimana disana ditempatkan sebuah gitar milik mendiang hide. Di acara tersebut,Yoshiki mengumumkan bahwa X JAPAN akan menggelar konser di Tokyo Dome pada musim semi 2008.
Pada tanggal 20 Januari 2008 X JAPAN digelar konferensi pers mengenai Konser Reuni X JAPAN dan sebuah live tribute untuk hide.
Rangkaian Konser "I.V.~Towards Destruction" diadakan pada 28, 29, 30 Maret 2008. Konser ini merupakan konser kembalinya X JAPAN. Pada konser ini terdapat 3 orang guest guitarist,antara lain Richard Fortus ([[Gun’s n Roses)]), Wes Borland (ex-Limp Bizkit) dan Sugizo (Luna Sea).Konser ini dihadiri oleh 150 ribu fans dari seluruh dunia, dan menghabiskan biaya 2,5 Milyar Yen. Awalnya konser ini direncanakan hanya sebanyak 2 hari saja, tetapi karena banyaknya fans yang tidak kebagian tiket maka Yoshiki memutuskan untuk menambahkan 1 hari lagi pada rangkaian konser ini.Bagian sound gitar hide, masih diisi oleh hide sendiri menggunakan rekaman permainan gitarnya dan layar besar dipanggung juga menampilkan sosok hide.Di konser ini juga, X JAPAN untuk pertama kalinya memainkan 2 buah lagu baru mereka, "Without You" dan "I.V.".
Pada konser hari pertama,Destruction Night,Yoshiki pingsan disaat memainkan Art of Life.Lagu tersebut terhenti tepat sebelum dimulainya bagian Piano Solo, pada lagu tersebut juga dimunculkan hologram dari mendiang hide untuk turut serta "bermain" dalam konser tersebut. Pada konser hari kedua, Reckless Night, X JAPAN bermain dengan 3 orang guest gitaris disaat memainkan lagu "X". Di konser ini juga terdapat pertunjukkan dari solo project Yoshiki, Violet UK. Pada konser hari terakhir, Creation Night, X JAPAN kembali bermain dengan 3 orang guest gitaris disaat memainkan lagu "Orgasm" dan "X", juga terdapat pertunjukkan dari Violet UK, dan X JAPAN kembali memainkan Art of Life bersama dengan hologram mendiang hide (dimulai dari bagian piano solo).
Di konser Towards Destruction, Toshi menceritakan mengenai pengalaman dirinya selama sepuluh tahun terakhir dan meluruskan seluruh kesalah pahaman mengenai dirinya yang beredar diantara fans. Toshi menjelaskan di blog-nya mengenai healing music yang dia jalani, memberi penjelasan mengenai siapa Masaya dan hal yang dia jalani setelah keluar dari X JAPAN, dimana penjelasan Toshi memberikan bukti bahwa isu buruk yang beredar mengenai dirinya adalah salah.
Pada tanggal 3 dan 4 Mei 2008 diadakan "hide Memorial Summit",sebuah pesta musik yang diadakan untuk mengenang 10 tahun meninggalnya hide. X JAPAN bermain pada tanggal 4 Mei, ditampilkan juga clip-clip kenangan tentang hide di live X JAPAN tersebut. Hide Memorial Summit diisi oleh banyak band besar, antara lain Dir en grey, Luna Sea, dan Versailles.
Setelah hide Memorial Summit,kondisi tubuh Yoshiki kembali memburuk.Hal ini dikarenakan penyakit hernia pada leher Yoshiki kembali kambuh dikarenakan pada konser Towards Destruction dan hide Memorial Summit, Yoshiki tidak memakai penyangga leher seperti yang diperintahkan dokternya.
Hal ini menyebabkan jadwal World Tour X JAPAN, antara lain di Paris; Madison Square Garden,New York; dan Taipei World Center,Taiwan diundur sampai kondisi tubuh Yoshiki membaik.

X Japan dikenal selalu melakukan pertunjukkan live yang spektakuler. Di tahun 1982 (saat band baru terbentuk) mereka sering tampil di festival-festival budaya dan beberapa pesta, hal ini menyebabkan X Japan dengan cepat mempunyai banyak fanbase.
Sehari setelah peluncuran album pertama mereka,Vanishing Vision,mereka menggelar konser di Tokyo Nakano Kohkaido, mereka juga sudah memulai tur pertama mereka, Vanishing Tour. Di tahun 1989 mereka menggelar tur di beberapa kota,Blue Blood Tour, tur itu untuk mempromosikan album baru mereka, Blue Blood. Tur ini sukses luar biasa.
X Japan merilis album ketiga mereka pada tanggal 1 Juli 1991. Pada bulan Januari 1992, mereka menggelar konser di Tokyo Dome selama 3 malam. Konser ini merupakan konser terakhir Taiji. Setelah Taiji keluar dari band, X Japan berhenti melakukan tur, karena mereka sedang mencari Bassis untuk menggantikan posisi Taiji. Di tanggal 30-31 Desember 1993, mereka melakukan Tokyo Dome Live pertama mereka dengan Heath diposisi bass. Konser tersebut diberi nama X Japan Returns, karena sejak tahun 1992 mereka tidak pernah menggelar konser lagi. Konser selama dua hari itu sukses besar, Tokyo Dome dipenuhi oleh para fans.
Di awal tahun 1995, X Japan mulai memainkan lagu-lagu baru di beberapa acara televisi Jepang seperti Music Station (dan acara spesial tahunan Super Live) dan Hey!Hey!Hey! Music Champ. Pada bulan November tahun itu, mereka menggelar Dahlia TOUR (untuk mempromosikan album terakhir mereka, DAHLIA). Tur tersebut selesai di 2 hari terakhir tahun itu di Tokyo Dome. Akhirnya, karena perpecahan di band, X Japan menggelar konser terakhir mereka pada tanggal 31 Desember 1997, The Last Live.

VERSE:
Eb Bb C G
Do you have the time, to listen to me whine
G# Eb Bb
About nothing and everything all at once
Eb Bb C G
I am one of those, mellodramatic fools
G# Eb Bb
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it.

CHORUS:
G# Bb Eb
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
G# Bb Eb
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
G# Bb Eb C# C
It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up
G# Bb Eb
Am I just paranoid? I'm just stoned.

Bridge?:

Verse:

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore
And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down.

Check my vital signs, to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a....

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

Does someone break your heart inside?

Wake Me Up When September Ends ( Green Day)

Wake me up when September ends

Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends


Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Loneliness your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory you never let me cry
And you, you never said good-bye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But i never thought you’d trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you’d left me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your breathless heart

Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
