Haven't posted in this thread in a while. So, here's some of the stuff I've been listening to lately:

Hide - (solo stuff and his stuff with Spread Beaver)
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
AFI - Midnight Sun (one of the most awesome songs ever made in the history of the world. "What awakes to night eternalllllyyyy?" That whole album (Black Sails In The Sunset) rocks so hard, it blows my mind.)
The Haunted - Revolver
Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake
Megadeth - Hidden Treasures
Testament - The Legacy, Best Of
Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama
Slayer - Postmortem (love that song)
Unearth - Above The Fall Of Man
Mercenary - (songs off their website)

and lots lots more.

X Japan - Jealousy

Looks like I might be starting a band here in April with 2 Japanese metalheads I met and might do a cover of "Sadistic Desire" (the lead guitarist used to be in an X Japan cover band and drummer used to play some X Japan covers in an old band he was in).

Well, i meant the album jealousy. but yeah, that song rules.
If you record a cover of that, i have to hear it.

[Naren]

Ah, the album "Jealousy." I see. I was thinking in terms of songs. I don't know if we'll record a cover of it or not. We'll probably perform it, at least. But I don't know about recording it. If we do record it, I'll post it on the site. Seeing as I'm supposed to be the singer/rhythm guitarist for this band (and the plan is to sing all in English), a cover of the song with me doing the vocals might be interesting. I do it in karaoke all the time, but on an album -- all I can say is sounds "interesting." I'll let you guys know how all that goes.

[Metal Ken]

Indeed. i had thought about doing a 'in english' cover of one of their songs.. like the song X itself or Blue Blood.

I need to get the actual Jealousy Cd... i'm slowly getting all their stuff lol. I just got the Last Live DVD the other day, and it rules. I need to get the DVD/VCD/Whatever for TokyoDome '93. I think the last thing i'll get is Dahlia though.. i mean, its cool, but its just not the same as the first 3 CDs.. they kinda changed the sound a lot on the last CD..

[Naren]

I know what you mean. Dahlia is a SWEET album, but it's very different. It's got one of my top 3 favorite X songs on it, "Scars" and it's also got the amazing title track, "Dahlia", as well as "Tears", "Rusty Nail", "Drain", "Crucify My Love", and "Forever Love." Dahlia is actually one of my favorite X Japan albums, although, like you said, it's quite different from their earlier albums.

That Last Live DVD is awesome. I love how they open up with Amathyst/Rusty Nail. Rusty Nail is just so sweet live like that.

I oftentimes sing "Crucify My Love" in karaoke, which is all in English. My voice sounds really similar to his in that song, except that my pronounciation is 100% correct (whereas in songs like "Sadistic Desire", my voice sounds similar to his, but my pronounciation and accent aren't perfect).
