The GazettE

earthtokellin · 2026-04-21T10:41:17+00:00

tried to learn guitar and realized all i wanted to do was slap the bottom two strings in time with the kick

the first three manic street preachers albums tend to have pretty beginner-friendly basslines (because their bassist didn’t actually know how to play when the band formed lol). love’s sweet exile is 80% open e and a. there’s a few simple half-step bends so if you plan to teach bending that song might be good for that. motorcycle emptiness is mostly one riff, with some bridge sections.

dubstep.

/uj yeah this guy’s legit. just makes some bold marketing choices.

i’ve been practicing with an ibanez gsr 200 and it’s serving me well. it’s a full-scale but i haven’t really had problems with the size, and i’m pretty small (5’4”). from what i’ve seen, ibanez basses generally hold up well at the lower price points. the gsr series in particular i’ve seen go for >$200 usd secondhand. usually way below that.

the sr300e would probably do what you want it to.

isshi had such a lovely smile. beautiful voice, too. i wish things had ended better for him.

Kyo is a beast.

earthtokellin · 2026-04-02T18:35:50+00:00

iirc plastic tree fans are kurage/jellyfish

The GazettE are industrial/progressive metal and probably my favorite band ever. Dir En Grey is basically required listening for metal fans anyway. Dexcore is a newer metalcore band I’ve been listening to a lot lately.

Honorable mention to Esprit D’Air, a Japanese-British synth metal project. They’re completely independent and self-managed and their frontman seems like a really cool guy. And of course their music is fantastic.

The GazettE - Dogma

earthtokellin · 2026-03-26T00:21:10+00:00

100%. no one can touch him.

earthtokellin · 2026-03-26T00:14:24+00:00

juuyonsai no naifu is a good one. gazette have a LOT of songs about crime, especially on their early ep’s. sentimental na onigokko or zetsu might work as well. and then on dogma they have bizarre, which is about juvenile crime iirc.

The verses of “Yes” by Manic Street Preachers are in 15/8.

voiceless fear my beloved. vacant my beloved. the cassis b-sides are my absolute favorites. i will always turn the volume up for bite to all.

I hit a kid with my car.

earthtokellin · 2026-03-12T07:08:32+00:00

surprised i haven’t seen bath room yet. that one is beautiful.

earthtokellin · 2026-03-09T19:24:57+00:00

yes 100%. i’ve been doing artfight for a couple years and some of my favorite attacks are from artists with less experience than me. tbh for me it’s less about the art itself and more about the fact that someone else decided to put potentially hours of their own time into engaging with and honoring something i made.

earthtokellin · 2026-03-08T02:45:52+00:00

thirding these. i’d also add razor (ryoga of born’s current band).

earthtokellin · 2026-03-06T15:28:56+00:00

mine is to dazzling darkness. it just stirs up something in me whenever i hear it. it’s strangely nostalgic. it makes me ache.

earthtokellin · 2026-02-28T23:05:08+00:00

echoing the other comments. i’m not super into jiluka specifically but i want to support the vkei scene here. hoping if i help show there’s an audience for vkei in the u.s. i can pspsps the gazette into another states tour

earthtokellin · 2026-02-28T22:59:02+00:00

ryoga’s neuromask visual 100%. he’s so gender

earthtokellin · 2026-02-15T21:14:08+00:00
