i thought child prey was only used for like 1 episode?

erm iono i don't necessarily think doing an anime theme is selling out but that's just me...what would be more like it too me would be like if Dir en grey did one of those pepsi commercials or smth xD and the idea of action figures i would kind of put in there but only because it would creep me out but erm i don't quite think that's selling out either >_> but what do i know anyway ^_^;;

Maybe 'selling out' is when an artist stops caring about the music they are making and starts to care more about the money. Every artist wants to make money and wants their art to be a success, but some decide that they'll stick to a formula that works and release merchandise which is unrelated to the mantra of how the band thought previously. They know that they have rabid fanboys/fangirls out there, and they are willing to sacrifice their integrity by ripping their fans off with things they don't need, but will buy just so they have collected everything.

I don't think Dir en grey have sold out. They are changing their sound, which alienates a large percentage of their fanbase, which is like the opposite thing to selling out. It doesn't really matter that Child Prey was used in an anime, seeing as that was still about the music and not about products.

I'd better like McDonalds CM based on Agitated Screams of Maggots PV footage.

well back on the subject of Dir en grey and not selling out (i think we've kindof all agreed they have not sold out, some people just dont like their current sound haha)

i think their live dvds are just amazing. but i wish their fanclub was in the US too... the stuff ive seen fomr Blitz 5 Days and Despair in the Womb is some of the best footage i've ever seen of them. but gawwwdddd i love It Withers and Withers, and Code of Vulgar[ism], and 5 Ugly Kindgom. all so amazing.

LMFAO xD that is almost as good as the scary version ...even though nothing beats the scary version...still i busted a gut

oh and my favorite was blitz 5 days ^^

I own the knot version of blitz , and I've only watched the discs with gauze and macabre songs. I have never taken the dvds out of the package for the other ones. I have no intrest in watching them.

I was a little disappointed when I saw Dir en grey live and they played the exact same show as they did on It Withers and Withers. They play the same show every time.

so that means you want to sell it to me and not your other friend person, right?

i've seen them 3 times and theres only been 3 songs that they played all 3 times, and there was quite a lot they only played 1 out of the 3 times i've seen them. i saw them at Family Values, Inward Scream 07, and Tour 07 Marrow of a Bone/ Deftones tour and i've gotten a good variety of different songs each time.

d00ds. sample of Dozing Green on their site. its only like 10 seconds, but that sure beats 0 seconds.

2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven baby.

im digging it. well, the 10 seconds.

Yes. Animated Diru heads zipping around a McFlurry. They're the newest topping!

As for action figures/dolls, why does the Shaving Ken doll come to mind? I can see it now..you have a doll of Kaoru, and when you add cold water to his tiny little sponge razor and 'shave' his chin, bye bye beard.

On a more serious note: That sample definitely convinced me to preorder. xD

[Do As Eternity 6]

yea it sounds secy as hell... O.O i am pleased

[MY BABY DADDAY P-GWIDDLES]

I never listen to samples. I thought it was a lame idea when it was 30 seconds, but ten? Pshhh.
