   Welcome to Bat Country~!
Current Mood: Metalhead XD
Current Song: Trashed and Scattered by Avenged Sevenfold

Hero, everyone. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, you guys know I'm kinda bad with posting on weekends. -_- Anyhow, after posting on the O I went over to YouTube and watched me some D'espairsRay. *SQUEE* Ah, that made me so happy... D'Ray kicks so much ass and is one of the manliest/hardcore J-rock bands around. For those of you who don't know, D'espairsRay is like Japan's Slipknot/Marilyn Manson on steroids. XD They are always screaming, always rocking, always morbid no matter what. They're in your face bad asses. Hizumi, the vocalist (*drools*), has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. Whenever he sings it always has a mournful touch to it, and it's so deep it makes you wonder if Gackt feels ashamed. He also has the ability to screech and yell at the top of his lungs but still retain a beautiful sound to it... one moment he could be on the verge of tears, the other he could be screaming "FUCK OFF." Karyu, the guitarist, plays the guitar like it's his bitch. And it is. XD He can make it wail, make it scream, make it sing, make it fucking talk. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into every note he plays, sometimes even mouthing the words to the songs during concerts. He's a truly gifted individual, a notable contribution to J-rock. Zero, their bassist, is effing crazy-there's no other way to put it. On stage he headbangs, jumps up and down, and beats on the bass until you'd think his hands would bleed. Sadly, most of the time, his skills go unnoticed. But, if he were ever to leave the band or stop playing, you would defintaly feel the void of Zero-if you don't believe me, listen to "Garnet" and think of how it'd sound without Zero. And finally, Tsukasa... sweet, little Tsukasa. Like quite a few J-rock drummers, he is the sweetest and most mild manner of the bunch but explodes in concert. Pounding away on his drum set, he produces enough sound to make an elephant go deaf. Quite like Zero, he is often looked over, as many bassists and drummers are. But once again, the band would be empty without him. So-if you like J-rock, and you like music that'll make your ears bleed, listen to some D'Ray. (I want to see them so badly in concert. >_<)


Hizumi, baby... XDDD

Speaking of music, I have seen the lights, my friends. And that light is Avenged Sevenfold. My dad finally got Avenged Sevenfold's CD, "City of Evil", and I have only two words for it-HOLY SHIT. This album kicks so much ass, that if it were a virus, it would have wiped out everyone on Earth. Avenged Sevenfold is TRUE music. Avenged Sevenfold is REAL rock. But beware-listening to "City of Evil" may be hazardous to your health because headbanging will doubtlessly ensue... headbanging so hard that you will puke your guts out from getting so dizzy. Also, their songs range from 5-9 minutes long, a true gem in today's world of rock. M. Shadows (the vocalist) has a hard, coarse voice that can make the most grotesque of people shiver... it's like sandpaper scraping against your eye. XD Also, their drummer, The Rev, is now one of my favorite drummers now, a pure deity. Sometimes it seems like there are machine guns firing rather than him playing the drums. Also, their guitarist, Synister Gates and Zacky Vengeance blow my mind. Let's just say DIRU's Kaoru would most likely come crawling to their doorstep, begging to meet fellow guitar gods. Last but not least, Johnny Christ, is one of the solid, driving forces behind Avenged... I know that a few bassists from America need to take a few lessons from him. >_> Avenged is now one of my favorite bands and "City of Evil" is now one of my favorite albums... if you really want to hear a golden piece of work, BUY AVENGED SEVENFOLD. You won't regret it, I promise. I promised on my black little soul.


'Lo and behold, Avenged Sevenfold. ^-^

Today I have just mostly listened to DIRU and Avenged, play Uno, and practice some Japanese. I was really happy that I was able to read some kanji on one of my DIRU DVDs but whenever I showed my family they merely raised their brow. My dad also said "y'know, one day you're gonna get a life, and you're gonna be soooo happy." I know that it was a joke, and that I shouldn't take it so seriously, but it really hurt my feelings. It's like what I really care about (studying Japanese-I know, it's weird) doesn't matter to him and like it shouldn't matter to me. I started blushing, I felt embarassed and stupid. I stayed in my room for two hours, trying to shake it off. But I still feel embarassed. -_- I don't know why, but it just hurts. I wish I wasn't so sensitive. >_< And last night on "Best Week Ever" the prime minister of Japan did an impression of Elvis (XD) and on "Web Junk 20" they showed a talk show from Japan that has a monkey as a host... I swear, I am gonna find the name of that show and watch it. XD Who can resist monkeys???

Meh... right now I have to go to Blockbuster and see what's going on there... I love you guys and later!!!
