X Japan has been around since the 80's and are considered the GnR/Queen/KISS of Rock in Japan. They have played and sold out the Tokyo Dome 3 times back to back, they put such an amazing show and have great rocking tunes to the most beautiful heartfelt ballads. As of 2010ish, they made it out of Japan and started playing in other world markets, selling out venues. This song is a testament of their musicianship and legacy. They managed to do something I have not heard any other band do ever, not even Zeppelin. At the 6min mark Toshi (singer) stops singing the chorus and lets the crowd take over with just the piano playing, then Yoshiki (piano/drummer) stops playing around the 7:46 mark while the crowd keeps singing in unison a capella for a minute. He comes back, Toshi joins and do a couple more rounds until the song ends. Such an euphoric moment. They've been working on their first CD in English, so it's not far fetched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't happen for a variety of reasons but I think adouble billing in Japan would be awesome. Richard could even join X for a song. I was fortunate enough to see X Japan in Chicago in 2010 and it remains one of the best gigs I've seen. It sucks about their poor work ethic (Yoshiki mainly), bad luck, and health issues. I was so pumped for the album and tour this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineInchGun Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If the tickets sell well, it will probably be no opener or a relative no name. Fiction Plane, Sting's son band IIRC, opened The Police reunion tour. Those were sold out arenas, not stadiums obviously. Van Halen/DLR reunion in 2008 had Bob Marley's kid I had never heard of open an arena show. Not a reunion, but AC/DC Black Ice tour was opened by what seemed like a local band in 2009.

Hmm... EDIT: this was after they opened for the Stones, btw That would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 They are going to need two massive bands to justify those prices and fill out those stadiums, bands of The Cult, Alice In Chains type stature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_rose Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I still think Skid Row with Baz will be the opening band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave0206 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 It won't be Soundgarden... Cornell has solo dates booked through August all over the world (if you're a fan of his even a little bit and have a chance to check one of these shows out, I would highly recommend it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
