D'espairsRay was my favorite, though.

I like all those bands, but I love both MUCC and +DéspairsRay+ especially. (Did they change the way their band name is written again? I give up on keeping up.) I had no idea they were playing in Chicago, otherwise I would have stayed up there when my team went to Midwest or something. =P

It's been a while since I've listened to Japanese Metal, but a few I can think of off the top of my head are:

- Dir en grey (They have two albums in the US, conveniently enough.)
- MUCC
- +DéspairsRay+ (written also as D'espairsRay)
- X-JAPAN (If you want 80's-early 90's metal... sorta-ish.)
- Sex Machineguns
- Onmyouza (written also as Onmyo-za and Onmyoza)
- Head Phones President

Dir En Grey=Amazing band. All of my music got wiped off my computer and I forgot about them thanks for reminding me.

never heard of them, will have to go check them out

[Danny McC]

They are only good if you like Japanese music. I know people who love metal and dont like Japanese music and they say Dir En Grey sucks. Also not all of their songs are Metal.

[MatthewMachart]

How many of you are going to Atlanta?

[Danny McC]

I will be there and I know Derek will be there. Why whats up? Forgot that the first time.

[MatthewMachart]

We should meet up at the event, or even more so if we're in the same hotel.

[Danny McC]

Well what hotel will you be at buddy?

[i_am_samus]

Kemata, amazing music list. I never really looked into Japanese metal, and they are all great bands! Too bad my HDD is almost full, only 2 GB left >_>

[vivek16]

Aww... You got me all excited and then I realized you were talking about music.

**sigh**

D'espairsRay is 110X better, IMHO. But they're both good.
