September 9, 2010 Dir En Grey

This comes from the Dir En Grey and Apocalyptica concert. I don't really know this band. I've heard of them before, but I didn't really get into them. I'm more of a melodic metal girl and less of a thrash/extreme metal type. I think I'm in love with the guitarist now though. He has nice long hair. Also, I just wanted to comment on how this was the most Asian metal concert I had ever gone to. Not that there were that many Asians, but there were significantly more Asians compared to other concerts I have seen. I attribute this to the J-rock(/metal?) status of Dir En Grey. Though these terms won't mean much to some people, I saw Gothic Lolita and Cyber Goth styles in concert goers. Fun! Also, after Dir En Grey finished performing, many of their fans left the pit which is when I discovered the ridiculous height difference between Dir En Grey fans (super short) and Apocalyptica Fans (super tall), which was why I couldn't join the pit for when Apocalyptica went on stage.
