That was blown way out of proportion. DIE was there to announce that DIR EN GREY had licensed one of their songs for a Dragon Gate show on Amazon Prime. It was basically just exposure to the wrestling community albeit a small section of it.
I’ve started saying it more without meaning to haha. Within 10 minutes in a group chat I used that word as well as mentioned having been to a certain town and I immediately got called out on my podcast listening preferences
Is there a point to have all of the old albums if you have the Decade’s, and Vestige besides being a completionist and having everything they’ve ever put out?
Sometimes their releases have contests, or bonus content kept separate from international/digital versions. It always ends up somewhere online these days anyway.
If the tracks on their best of albums are enough for you, consider yourself lucky. A lot of us have probably spent more money than we can keep track of on limited editions and singles.
Huntington, West Virginia lmao. My ex-fiance had gotten me super into the McElroys when we were together
Some of the songs are Vestige are a different mix (things like Utafumi and some other singles are the single performance and mix, not the album performance/mix). Some songs are re-makes (IIID Empire is a re-recording and the bridge is entirely different).
More than that though, both Vestige and the Decades releases are Best Of albums. Like Saishu said, you miss out on a LOOOOT of songs.
Oh, fun. I haven’t been there in probably two years. When I was a kid up to a teenager we’d go to the mall every week and we lived outside of Portsmouth all the way over in Ohio lol.
I meant to cover the pre-Arche catalog I have everything, just didn’t know if the best ofs were pretty much everything or not as I remember when they came out, but at the time I’d already had everything and it seemed pointless besides remastering.
