THE IIID EMPIRE
The crowd was insane. I thought I was going to be bowled over or eaten by fat, bald Korn fans who were either shirtless, in jerseys, or in t-shirts with crude misogynist sayings on them like, 'I have the dick, I make the rules.' You know those guys, they're the "whooooooooo!" guys that drink one beer after another and sweat something that smells like rotten vinegar.
I bought two DVDs:
Those are Average Fury and Average Psycho. Two more added to my ever growing collection. I also bought a t-shirt, but I don't have a picture of that to show. I decided not to buy any albums since I do essentially have every CD on burned copy. I do plan to slowly start buying the actual albums, though, sooner or later. I just opted for the DVDs for the visual aspect of them.
Let me tell you, though, the majority of the crowd was there to see Dir en grey. The screaming for them was intense, more than anything any other band got.
When they started their own portion of the show, they began with G.D.S., which was just what I was hoping for. I didn't want them to come out playing any other song. It HAD to be G.D.S. Some of the other songs they played? ????, The Final, dead tree, and CLEVER SLEAZOID (I can't recall the rest, I'm tired and it will come to me... I think they did saku, too). Kyo scratched his chest up, bled from the mouth, would kneel down and face Shinya's drums between songs, and ended up putting the bucket of ice water for their water bottles over his head. It made me laugh. Toshiya was going crazy up there. His hair was crazy and wavy and sort of bleached blonde a bit below the roots. He even knocked Die's mic down... which I suppose was okay because Die promptly began using Toshiya's while Toshiya spazzed out on his side of the stage.
Die, by the way, was awesome beyond comparison. Then again, he always is.
Kaoru was also wonderfully hairy. His hair was long and the facial hair was there. He looked really good though because I think long hair and facial hair suits him.
Seriously, it was beyond words. When G.D.S. started with the bass and the noise and the "kill, kill, kill, kill" over and over again, I was happier than I've ever been in my life. Kyo screamed, tore up the red cage he'd sometimes stand on and threw it at Shinya's drums, Toshiya jumped around, Shinya wore a shirt that said 'I'm Ninja, (you can't see me),' Kaoru stood in place most of the time and just played down low, and Die was all over the place. You know how Die plays, though. He headbangs a lot, so he did that most of the time. Then again, so did Kaoru.
Dir en grey was by far the loudest and most insane band up there. The others can't compare (granted, I left before Deftones or Korn... I just wanted to see Dir en grey and get out of there).
I also met Shinya and Kaoru. Shinya had really small, delicate, cold hands. I liked them. Kaoru was warm, but small, too, and he had a really smug smile on his face. Don't ask me why I noted the feeling of their hands. I suppose it was new to me to feel male hands that felt that way. I mean, they were really small. Nice, too. Shinya said hi to me and his voice was just so soft and pretty. Seriously, Shinya is gorgeously pretty up close.
