Raruku En Shieru




Since last week i watched the DVD of L'arc En Ciel at Paris over and over again for idk, like how many times. Ive been a fan of them since my schooldays but every time i watch them perform live or even hear one of their songs i keep repeating the words " Oh shit these guys are so fucking talented ".
And it hasn't changed from while i was a kid till now a *ehem* teenager.

Come on, they're definetely one of the best musicians out there . Period. Of all time! Listening to all their albums (12 currently), their talent is constantly showing


And over the years, their latest Live In Paris DVD, they seem to get better and better!

Ken remains bloody talented with his guitar, Tetsu's bass line's are always perfect and punchy, Yukhiro's drumming is simply amazing and awesome and Hyde's vocal is heavenly. His voice is truly one of a kind, even though im not much of a vocal person but the way he sings is incredible.

Their concerts seem to be always highly entertaining. Musicianship and showmanship constantly tight. And definitely EPIC! Epic as in you can cry out tears to watch them live as its fucking awesome!!!! * there are lots of their fans who cried *
I'd kill to see them live. LOL.

What i like of this band is that its not a typical band screaming * lol at myself* or normal whining that u can hear on the radio strumming the typical power chords and typical solos over again.

Its not easy to create such beautiful songs with brilliant arrangements. The progressions and melody certainly make Laruku one of the best bands ever. Magnificent and completely EPIC!! . That's the word.




And forever i am, and will be, inspired and envious of Ken Kitamura's feeling and skill applied when playing the guitar.

His guitar solo's are filled with passion and its so hard to replicate his guitar style and playing exactly.

He is, in my opinion, a very skilled player. His combination of legato and pull-offs/hammer-ons are incredible. I haven't yet seen any other guitar players, Japaanese or whatever, play the guitar like he does.

He does have his own trademark style. His playing is simply amazing to me, and im surprised to see that not many people has written about his style. He should be friggin' awarded or something. I think his talent is not recognized enough... (even after 12 albums?)

Oh and i forgot that he is one of the many reasons i started to play the guitar :D



CONCLUSION!

Im just giving my recognition for L'arc En Ciel as they produce songs that are always worth a listen. They will forever be one of the best bands i've listened too. And im still expecting for new stuff :D

Forever L'arc will always continue producing good music for our heart, ears, mind and soul to listen.

wow... long post here =.= " . Enjoy!
