This page is dedicated to the best band in Japan, X JAPAN!!!
A brief intro on the band......
Style of play: Symphonic Metal
Type of band: Visual Shock band. (This term is widely known in Japan. It means that the band always dresses up wierdly, & wildly for their performances. U can see that in the pics I've put in here. There are also many other bands that are very "Visual". Such as Luna Sea.)
X Japan consists
of five members. Toshi is the
vocalist for the band, and Hide plays the
lead guitar. Pata backs him
up on second rythym guitar , though they often switch off the
role of soloist,and Heath provides
the beat on bass. Yoshiki plays the
drums and the piano for the band as X has
mastered the mixing of symphonic ballads and fast guitar riffs
over fast, heavy drums. The group's musical diversity helps them
to create a very unique , and in my opinion, incredible sound.
The group X has
undergone a few changes since its forming in 1986. One big change
is the change of bass players from Taiji to Heath after the
recording of the album "Art Of Life". Another is the
change
of their name from X to X Japan after
conflicts with the American band named X.
