Dir En Grey Tickets

As usual, Dir en Grey came out and thrilled their fan's pants off [my almost came off, literally, from running around in the mosh pit. I think I'll wear a belt next time.] Their energy was massive, and that only fueled the crazy fans more. I'm walking away with battle scars! And I couldn't be happier. I've been following this band for almost 10 years now, and each concert I've been too of theirs has been amazing. I can't wait to go to their next one ~ <3

I went in thinking that they would never come on stage but once they did they were explosive. Kyo never paused for a single second the band did not hesitate either. They made you feel as if you were with them and not a spectator, you actually felt as if you were part of the band. They had there meet and greet after the show which was good but only two members were there, I heard someone say that on Sunday Kyo with all the members will be there at the meet and greet after the show so you should buy a CD/DVD during the show to get access to see them. This was only Friday and I still need to attend Sunday

When I see Dir en grey, I always expect a great show, and this was no exception. It was only my second time seeing my most precious J-rock band and it was no less great then the first time I saw them a year ago. I went with my friend Rose and she's not as big of a fan as me, but she still said it was great. I was standing at the right of the stage in front of the right speaker with a clear view of all the members, with Die right in front of me. The only thing that was annoying were these two Chinese and Japanese Die fangirls who seemed liked the weren't even there for the band, just to see Die in his undershirt. They kept rambling in my ear in Chinese while I was trying to listen Kyo do Agitated Screams of Maggots -unplugged- and kept hitting and touching me [somewhat-inappropriately/rudely] like I was just a wall. The meet and greet afterwords only had Shinya and Kaoru, but you could only get one Autograph, so I choose Kaoru and he signed my DVD and shoke my hand. All in all, it was a great night of seeing five of the gods of J-rock rock out for two purely awesome hours.

This was my first concert experience, but I was struck to tears at how intimate it was. The venue was small, but that made it all even better. I can't handle a mosh pit, but even in the back I could hear Kyo without a mic, and Kaoru and Toshiya made eye contact and waved. I loved how the members made every effort to draw you in while rocking out to their own epic-ness; this is euphoria. Honestly, you should like their music, or at least be around the ballpark to really enjoy and appreciate them. And be open about the language barrier, though the music'll suck you in anyway :)

Dir En Grey Was Awesome, though they went on 1 Hour 15 Minutes Late. They Put on 1 Heck of a Show! Better then Listening to a Album! everything was Dead on Perfection! Every Scream,Shriek,Growl!! was just Awesome!! I have been to House of Blues Sunset & Anaheim Both are Excellent Venues! Never have had a Problem! People are Nice! The Workers are always willing to go out of their way to help you. Anyone who is a Fan of Dir En Grey! Go see them while you have the Chance!

They are wonderful.. I really enjoyed the show and I love Toshiya~@@@

The whole band looks /amazing/ in person--photos don't do them justice, and they're incredibly fun and charismatic on stage. Much jumping and slinking forward onto the stage to entice the fans--the barriers keep them barely a foot out of the audience's grasp. I stood right in front of Kaoru, and I loved that he was always smiling (Toshiya too, when he came over)~ They played some older songs, though didn't quite go back to my favorites (but when they played Drain Away, the crowd went WILD---not that they weren't already, but you get the idea). A few disappointing things: -They started 30 minutes late, but that's not a big deal -The mic for Kyo seemed to be set lower than the guitars, so he got drowned out a few times ;_; -Friday's signing onto had Shinya and Toshiya--not that I don't love them, but HoB only allowed one autograph (meaning, choose between them), and there was a bit of confusion in the beginning about wristbands and merchandise and yeah...but the merchandise issue wasn't a band issue. Over all, fun--not the BEST concert I've been to of theirs, but I'll be going back Sunday for another beating, and hopefully I can scrounge up the money ($50, ARGH) for a DVD.

From the first moment I heard Kyo's deep vocals bellowing out, I was entranced by the music. Another amazing show, which is to be expected from Dir en Grey. Also very pleased that they performed two new songs, as well as some older songs off their 4th album. Excited to see them again.

I was do excited yesterday!! Someone attack me, but it doesn't matter. Their performance was sooo good.

Well, I arrived an hour before the door opened and waited an hour. When they let us in I waited another hour. There was a delay and I had to wait for about another hour! >:( But, as soon as the show started, all my waiting had come to fruition and I enjoyed the whole show!!! It was worth standing for three hours and the acoustics, venue, and especially the band were awesome!!! If I could do it all over again, I would say yes!

The concert was great. The band had a lot of passion; Kyou's singing was spectacular. It was a small venue, so there was a clear view of the stage from everywhere. Small crowd, maybe 2-300. The crowd was really into it; there was even a mosh pit. Two things bothered me: the vox was a bit low, so it was hard to hear over the guitars, and the set list was rather short (only an hour and a half). Other than that, it was an amazing concert, better than most shows I've been to.

Stellar performance as always. Sadly no merchandise,not sure why that was...

It was such an amazing performance, you can really see how their music bridges across language barriers. of course you did get morons pushing and showing disrespect for the band which really stops other Japanese bands from touring the US. Also alot of odd people, the "otaku" crowd. Other than some problems with the audience their performance was epic to say the least. I definitely love the quality and heart put into Japanese rock in general, Dir En Grey has definitely conquered the world. Its such a good memory to have.

Dir En Grey's 2008 "The Rose Trims Again" USA/CANADA tour was a hit! I remember driving up to the venue, and seeing the line wrapping around several buildings! So many people dressed in Japanesque rock, and ready to celebrate good culture was the start to the best night of my life. Kyo's body language read that he was deeply moved by the songs. You could see his emotions spilling out of him as his god like voice seeped over the masses. Die and Kaoru displayed a set of thrilling songs as they both played melodically to the songs! Toshiya (displaying a new sexy haircut) smiled a lot and you could feel his enthusiasm through his sound. Shinya was amazing as well. He never fails to stay on key with the band. Oh and they all looked DAMN FINE. This Concert was the best night of my life. I will never miss a tour after this!!!

Dir en grey has always been changing their sound which makes them all the more fun hear...I've been a fan of themm since 2000...And when i heard they were coming in 2005 i bought tickets fast so i would see them...then on 11/29/08 they came back and as great as ever...they played 20 songs all of which were great songs for them to play...& ith kyo's different arrangement of vocals the concert is always fantastic... anyone who is a j-rock fan should definitely look them up...
