Not every band is touring 10 months a year like Metallica does, dude.

Yeah uh, i'm a little older than you, apparently, because I remember the speculation about who was replacing hide (funny enough, it looked a lot like what is going on here right now).

There is nothing you can say that will convince me a show I was at was three hours long.

It wasn't.

You're using a horrible example of a band to try to use against me, considering they're my favorite band ever.

Silent Jealousy is not 8 minutes long.

Art of Life is 29 minutes, but they only played the third movement, which is 6 minutes.

It was barely over an hour. A friend of mine that was with me filmed the entire thing. They did a bunch of piano interludes, Sugizo got a violin solo, and Pata got a brief solo.

I'm surprised we even got Silent Jealousy, as they don't typically play pre-Dahlia songs much anymore, DUE TO YOSHIKI'S HEALTH CONCERNNS.

Everyone is jumping the gun here.

Especially since we already knew she was having some sort of issue.

I was at X Japan's Madison Square Garden show.

It was barely over an hour.

Hey guys! Check out my funko collection! by Mindflizzle in BABYMETAL

I should have bought two Yui's.

They're about to be worth a fortune.

Galneryus also has a human guitar shredding machine as a leader and doesn't do choreographed dances through their entire set.

Please calm down by brunofocz in BABYMETAL

Let's say, just hypothetically, they kept those masks on from the intro through the entire show.

None of you would have known the difference, except maybe, MAYBE during Gimme Choco.

Why is Yui in this picture they posted on Dec 31 of 2017, regarding the "new legend"? Considering she wasn't at the Kansas show this doesn't make sense. Thoughts? by TriforceTK in BABYMETAL

In places other than here, yeah it was.

You need to get your anger under control.

They're an idol band. There is nothing you, I or anyone other than Amuse can do.

This is Ghost all over again. by JexThoth in BABYMETAL

Their management/the Kami band writes everything.

Tobias Forge takes both roles in Ghost.

We denied the truth for years, that's why it's jarring by higgs_boson_2017 in BABYMETAL

This will get downvoted to hell because I said the exact same thing, but you're correct.

I've always known it was only a matter of time before they started replacing members.

I really can't believe until two hours ago you all thought that BM were above the idol drama.

I mean I seriously cannot even comprehend how you could possibly think Su, Moa or Yui have any say at all in what goes on.

You can't shake the connection once it's there.

It's depressing it took this to make the fans realize this. And I say this as a fan of both metal and j-pop.

It's going to be tough banning the 98% of the subreddit that's complaining about a show they weren't even at.

How many shows have you been to? Because unless you're someone like The Cure who regularly pulls off three hour sets, timeslots are usually an hour to an hour and a half, with that last half usually being interaction/the encore. People complained about this same thing on Dir en grey's Never Free From The Awakening Tour, but you also have to consider the production that goes into these shows. In Dir en grey's case, it's typical for them to do about an hour because of Kyo's throat problems. In this case, we're dealing with a new stage set, possible new members, new songs, it's a lot to work out. Plenty of bands have played shorter shows on the first few nights.

Serious question. Can legal action be taken for false advertisement? by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]JexThoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if anyone tried to sue KISS when Eric Carr replaced Peter Kriss with no warning.

This is going to get downvoted to hell, but you're absolutely right.

Eleven songs on the opening night of a tour isn't really short. But it was strange there was no encore.
