X-Japan

It was a very LIVE to the keep not and loss seen some prejudice to the effect of X JAPAN of MSG performances in 2008 of a further as 6 years band from postponement to power up to started LIVE packed shall not go.

This was literally the absolute most amazing concert EVER. The pyros were insane, going a couple times per song, with additional confetti for some and beautiful graphics on the screen behind the stage. You could tell that all members of the band were having fun, including the late hide and Taiji who were featured many times on the big screen in video and photos. The fans cheered for everyone, and all had a great time. X Japan rocked MSG so hard, just like they'd promised to do. They played many old favorites, as well as some kickin' brand new songs. Yoshiki's drum solo was particularly spectacular, as anyone who has ever seen one of his solos knows, but this time it was even more impressive with the help of light-up wristbands that everyone received upon entering the venue. They would all light up and flash whenever Yoshiki hit one of his drums, and continued to sync with the songs the band played after. The band's energy was overflowing through the entire show; they were obviously super excited to finally be performing in The World's Most Famous Arena.

YES IT WAS SUPER FUN AND EMOTIONAL!! MUCH MORE THAN I EXPECTED! I LOVE YOSHIKI AND TOSHI AND HIDE AND EVERONE OF THIS LEGEND ROCKING BAND!!! I CRIED SEVERAL TIME WHEN YOSHIKI MENTIONED HIDE, COULDN'T HELP THE SADNESS..AND I SCREAMED LIKE CRAZY WHEN YOSHIKI JUMPED INTO THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAGE, WAY TOO LUCKY THESE FANS, WISH I COULD HOLD HIM!! , WHAT A SUPER BAND, THE LEGEND LIVES FOREVER! PLZ COME BACK NEW YORK AGAIN!! WE ARE XXXXX UNTIL I DIE!!!

X japan was the best performance i ever seen in my life i never felt such power in there songs before they are totaly the best performers i have ever seen amazing X-japan most talented band ever

simple statement....... BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.......

This has been a life long goal/dream for me. I never imagined I'd get the chance to see them live. I'm only 22 years old, about the same time they have been a complete band lol. But I fell in love with their music at the age of 14! It goes to show people that X Japan can touch the hearts of many people all around the world. I myself am not Japanese, I'm Hispanic! But X Japan live was amazing total BLISS!!! BEST SHOW I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!

I wait for this moment for 10 years. Can't believe they reunited and go back to the stage again. I have no regret now! The show was awesome. They changed some lyrics into English. I love X, always

The best concert ever. However, the band started a bit late. But overall, so amazing..... Looking forward for the next one in LA.

It was amazing and great show. If it was in Japan I couldn't get that much closer. the place was not big so I could see them very close. anyway thier music is amazing!

X-Japan was absolutely amazing live! I am so happy that I was able to see them in concert. Each member had their time to shine, and the fans loved their energy :)

I really really enjoyed their performance! I was their fan since I was a little girl and it was my dream to go see them at the concert someday but living in the U.S., I thought it was nearly impossible to see them but now my dream came true. The concert started really late though. I don't know what happened in the back stage but waiting in our seats for more than an hour was pretty tiring. I saw many people so tired that they were taking a nap while waiting. That was the only negative but their performance overall was AMAZING. X Japan really knows how to entertain their fans. They are powerful musician and an artist. Loved loved loooooved their concert!! I would go again if I can. I'll never forget about that day and would probably brag about it to other X Japan fans!

X is only one regendary band in Japanese music history. And this was first show for them in North America.(excluding "Lolla palooza" a music fes at Cicago, IL ) Almost songs on thier setlist were hard numbers. They were so exiting and few of them were latest songs and the others were famous songs's English Version. And they also played "I.V." as known as a theme song of one of most famous movie in Hollywood "SAW IV". So amazing and exited. Only one song was a ballade called "Endless Rain". This is so heartfelt number and has so beautiful piano melody like a classical music. You should watch it!

It was amazing from start to finish, did not really care much for the opening band, but X Japan were amazing.

At first, there was an unbearable wait. It make me wonder if X Japan was actually finally going to play... but when they came out to perform, it was fantastic! The music flowed really well, they didn't spare the pyrotechnics (though it did "ruin" the piano later in the show), and though Toshi's voice wasn't as great as before - the performance itself was memorable and I'm still delighted to have been able to attend the show.

So the live was absolutely amazing. There were SO many fans! My friend and I got there at about 2:00 and the line was already down the block. There were a lot of fans from Japan, quite a few of them cosplaying the members, particularly Hide, the beloved guitarist that passed away over ten years ago. There were repeated cries of "WE ARE X!" throughout the day. The doors opened at 6:30 but we didn't all get in til sometime after 7:00. The opening band Vampires Everywhere performed a set of five or six songs and then welcomed X to the stage, although they didn't really come out until 9:45. We were so pumped, many of us screaming for X and for each member. Then we were greeted by a haunting melody as the members walked onto the stage. From where I was, I could see Yoshiki, the drummer/pianist as well as the co-founder of X Japan perfectly as he stood behind his drums, looking beautiful as always. He stood very still, just waiting. Then the lights flashed and he went hardcore into the drums, I had to move side to side to see the other members. They were all so beautiful, wearing some of the same wardrobe as they ahd worn during the music video filming in January. Sugizo had a rose in his mouth as he played his guitar, moving gracefully on the right side of the stage. They played with such passion and energy, I was so pumped just watching them. My eyes were mostly on Yoshiki, watching as he smiled throughout the song he was drumming to. That smile was seen repeatedly throughout the live. Toshi, the vocalist, sang and screamed for us, constantly moving around the stage to the other members. He went up the platform to be behind Yoshiki quite a few times, moving from one side to the other like he was playing with us. They played such driving songs as the audience fist pumped, head banged, and jumped to the sound. Between some songs, Yoshiki went tot he piano and played beautifully as Sugizo accompanied him on violin, playing a beautiful melody each time. At one point, Yoshiki played the piano alone and started playing discordantly with passion, banging on the keys while headbanging, even kicking out the bench from behind him as the music escalated from his haphazard playing. We all screamed for him as he showed his passion. When they began playing "I.V." Toshi told us to sing with him, "In the rain" and "Find a way", it went like this crowd: "In the rain" Toshi: "I'm calling you dear" crowd:"Find a way" Toshi:"Can't you see me standing right here?", we sang with him for what seemed like a long time until they started playing the entire song, where we continued to sing with him. Throughout the live, there was pyro and fog, elements that only seem right for X Japan. And for their new song "Born To Be Free", there were two girls dressed as maids in cages, one for each side of the stage, reminiscient of the music video filming in July that had taken place after the Yoshiki Foundation event in Club Nokia. At some point, Yoshiki went to play his piano but the keys were hot from the pyro and he got on the microphone after fiddling around and told us "The pyro fucks up the piano so we are trying to fix it", he said this with a smile on his face and he had a staff member pour water onto the keys and we laughed as Yoshiki wiped down the keys with a towel. Toshi then asked "Yoshiki, are you ready?" and we laughed as Yoshiki smiled at him and took his place at the piano. At some point, the members left and we all cried for X and an encore. After a while they came back out and graced us with more music. One of the songs was "X", and every time X was sung, the crowd jumped, throwing up their Xs with their arms. It was then that I noticed the band was really getting into it, I think that was when it hit some of the more reluctant seeming members that 'hey, we have a lot of fans here and they LOVE us!' Yoshiki drummed his soul out, at some point just laying down behind his drums, scaring me and I think he put Toshi a little on edge, but he got up and staggered to the front of the stage, smiling and moving as if he was intoxicated with the energy we were giving him. He removed the lace jacket he was wearing and walked to the edge of the stage and DIVED! We all screamed, out of love, out of jealousy, and out of surprise. Sugizo and Toshi were smiling at him from the stage. He climbed back onto the stage looking pleased with himself and just happy. At some point, during one of the songs, I looked at each member and I think for them, it was as if they were back in the 80s, in their 20's and in their prime, just enjoying life. They threw a lot of water bottles, Sugizo pitched quite a few to the audience in the balcony, making everyone just amazed with that arm of his. He told Heath to throw his bottle up to the balcony, but I don't think he did. I think the most memorable song for me was "Endless Rain", because we all sang together and the members just had all of these emotions come across their faces and I'm positive that Yoshiki cried at the end of the song but we couldn't see his face since he was turned to the side and he had his hands folded together in front of his face and he was like that until the lights went out. It was such a beautiful moment and I believe the only ballad they played. Overall, the live was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world. I will carry those moments with me in my heart forever. I hope to see X again and again. Their music, their love, their passion is addicting and their energy is something special and rare and they are worth the money and the drama and the heat and the wait. They are worth anything and everything, and I gladly gave my heart and soul that night, screaming at the top of my lungs, just hoping that my voice would reach their ears and that my energy would reach their hearts. Oh! And we made new friends! These two girls from Japan were in front of us and there was a huge language barrier, one of them spoke a little English and I speak very very little Japanese so we communicated with our gestures and we screamed together and headbanged together and sang together and afterward we clapped and constantly said "We are X!" to eachother. So X Japan is a way of communicating on top of everything else. For those of you that think "why do you listen to Japanese rock if you don't understand the language?", X Japan is proof that music is it's own language, that you don't need language to love this music so dearly. There's one thing that every X Japan fan can tell you, especially after Saturday's concert, and that is: "WE ARE X!"

Excellent show. The Wiltern was a beautiful venue to see X Japan's opening concert for their US tour. They even played the rarely perform art of life (despite it was a shortened version). The opening band Vampire everywhere was great. The ticket said door at 6:30, but there was a huge line to get in already. X-Japan didn't get on until 8:45.

It's a great show. There is a pity for their late almost for there hours. But it still an awesome show. I love X-Japan!!!

This concert was for X Japan, and despite the expensive seats, the band gave an unforgettable performance. The technical difficulties delaying the concert was a little annoying, but when X Japan members appeared one by one, all was forgotten. It was a very big honor to support X Japan at their first concert in U.S. I hope they perform in L.A. again next year. ^O^

My friend had a extra free ticket so I decided check out X JAPAN. Having to wait 3 hours for the show kind of pissed me off but the show was just amazing!! We are X!!!!!

From the presentation plus the opening band Vampires Everywhere, you might think X Japan is a forgettable piece of pop-emo teenager garbage. Nothing could be further from the truth: X Japan is one of the very best metal acts in the US at this time, and they proved it from the very beginning of their show. Despite some technical problems with the microphone and such, vocalist Toshi provided one of the strongest vocal performances I have ever heard on a metal stage, especially on the songs "Born To Be Free" and "Kurenai." The real, incredible highlight of the night, though, was drummer Yoshiki's skills. This man is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Few drummers are this uniquely talented, and in both his drum solo and in Art of Life, he truly shined even above all the other songs of the night. Keith Moon? Joey Jordison? Yoshiki's far, far better than either of them. If you like metal (at least progressive/melodic metal, but even some thrash fans might appreciate Yoshiki's drum solos, songs such as X and Kurenai and, if they play it at your live, Orgasm), go see these guys. You will NOT regret buying this ticket and you will most likely fall in love with a new band. That said, bring some earplugs for Vampires Everywhere's set.

Spectacular, amazing, breathtaking are just a few words to describe the performance of XJapan at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. The venue was full of old and new fans whose sense of anticipation to see the long awaited rebirth of this incredible force in music reached near breaking point. It was well worth the wait and a dream come true for some of the fans I met while waiting in line for the doors to open. I love XJapan! I'd see them again if I had the chance. :)

I have been their fan since 1997 and their live in MSG is my very very first X-japan concert. I have no regret! (Booking a ticket, airplane ticket and book a hotel room right away from Finland) This is the best performance I have ever experienced. I hope I have a chance to go to many more of their concerts again.

Great group...Great show...One of Japan's top band of 80's-90's

This show was everything I could have dreamed of. I was a little disappointed they didn't do the hologram of Hide they've done at Japanese shows in the past, but that's truly my only complaint. I've been listening to this band for almost 20 years and I never thought it would be possible to see them live. I'm still in awe over how great this concert was. We are X!!!

Best show ever in my life!!! I just love their music, everytime I saw a DVD I thought "I really want to see them live in concert" Definetely one of the best Japanese bands ever!!

They are as great as they are. Being a fan for almost 15 years, they make everything impossible possible. Thanks for coming back! WE ARE X! We will live to rock forever!

This is my fourth concert this year, and it was an event that I will never forget. From the music, to the lights, to those wild light-up bracelets, everything was just perfect! It was a dream come true. I came from Pittsburgh, PA just for this show and have no regrets about the twelve hours in the car to get there and back. I would totally do it again.

They are the best. Hope will see them come back pretty soon!!!!! Worth the money for sure

It was a long wait since de anoucement of the concert, but 10/11/2014 it's gona stay in the memory of thousands of people who enjoy every seconds of the show. The acces was ok and with people guide you through every area. The sound was amazing and when the band star play became marvelous in all the ways. Its the best band non english speaker that produce a show of 3 hours of great music. I recomend then now an ever

This was a great show, I'm glad X Japan came back after only four years. Great view, and the set was simple yet amazing and still entertaining.

One of the best concerts I have gone to, I wish I could relive that event

X Japan was simply an amazing band to see live, especially with their full stage show. Excellent performance, excellent production, and awesome to see after thinking for many years while they were broken up that I never would.

Such an sensational concert! Still thinking and dreaming about it after almost a week!

This show was absolutely fantastic! The songs sounded incredible and were delivered with perfect precision. Hearing these songs played live is just an other worldly experience. I was fortunate to see them perform at the Roseland Ballroom in 2010 and again this time around [Oct 11, 2014]. This show was bigger and better altogether. The show was 3 hours of X-Japan rocking the house the way they know how. If you are a fan of this group, you need to see them live. I very much so look forward to seeing them perform live again. I cannot recommend this band enough.

It was beyond anything I expected! Great concert, worth every penny!

X-Japan is the quintessential rock band out of Japan. They are the originators that all other groups have followed and emulated, but to finally have the opportunity to see X-Japan perform live, was a great dream come true. For many years, overseas fans have been waiting for an chance to see X-Japan perform, and they did not disappoint. Consummate showmanship, theatrical thrills, and great music for this diverse and dynamic band made for a most amazing experience. We are X!!

The greatest concert I ever attended. X put other acts to shame leaving us screaming and cheering for more! I hope X-Japan's first performance at the garden is the first of many. I have never left a show so eager for more!!! Come back to MSG X! We love you guys!!!

I been listening to x japan since I was 16 and seeing them live for the first time and in msg! It was totally worth the wait. The sound was excellent I felt up close. Especially withe the extended stage. I recommend everyone go see X Japan you won't regret it. I really hope this show comes out on dvd. Thrashy, theatrical, heavy, fast, ballads... All in one night. Fire works were awesome and the elevating drum cage! Over all a 10/10 perfect. Please come back to NYC again I'll buy you a beer. Lol Keep rocking guys.

X Japan came and met all of my expectations. They sounded even better live than on CD, and there was a lot of crowd interaction.

First time seeing them in concert and it won't be my last. Awesome show!!!! The entire band is so talented they inspire me to learn how to rock. X!!!!!

Amazing concert Everything we could expect from the you tube videos. We saw Yoshiki gave us a history if the band and have a glimpse of why is this band so huge in japan He was so grateful and humble of performing in America brought tears to my eyes Honored the fallen members if the band It is hard to see these days performers that five it all on the stage The mans drum solo was performed until he collapsed exhausted in the stage U can tell is not and act U cannot fake the time of voice the broken works the tears So happy I hot the chance to see them

The space is wonderful. The sound was great! Getting to see one of my favourite bands live was just wonderful! I wish the stage was bigger but it was a blast non the less!

I flew from SF with my girlfriend and it was so worth it. I dreamed about seeing X-Japan live and never though I would. They gave us a fantastic 3 hours show with fireworks, a touch of craziness and beautiful music. I would definitely go and see them again!

X Japan is the band that taught me when I found them 14 years ago that Japanese musicians can have energy, life, and a fantastic human quality to their playing. Perfect without ever being robotic. The composing is beautiful and every member is talented with an apparent love of music. Seeing this band live was something I never thought I would experience, and now I have, it was a dream come true for me as it was for many others. I still find myself more drawn to their old songs rather than new, but like always the songs grow on me over time. I enjoy that. I heard that Sugizo had a new guitar made recently to better match the 90's sound of X Japan, it was noticeable in this concert and I thought it sounded great! His violin playing is a favorite of mine and I'm dying to hear more of it. Toshi's voice was incredible, Heath's bass, Pata's guitar, Yoshiki's drums and piano - every single member is incredible and they were all showcased well. I loved that a string quartet (I think? I couldn't see how many) joined the stage for Forever Love, nothing beats that combination with guitars. That's one step closer to my desire to see a band play along with a live orchestra (which X Japan has also done, in the past). My only complaint is that some things were much too elongated and likely confusing to newcomers in the American audience here, such as the extensive "We are X!" cries. I don't have a problem with it, but I felt a lot of people there just wanted to listen to the music and weren't ready to get all pumped. The audience looked pretty still, even on the floor, the latter of which surprised me. I, myself, am quite stiff and "shy" about being energetic around other people, and that made me feel guilty because I really wanted to show my support! My friend who joined me was the same. He loved the concert even though he didn't expect himself to be much a fan of their songs before coming. I think some people also feel embarrassed by the emotional play by this band, but I would doubt they particularly dislike it, and are rather not used to it. Regarding my Favorite moment - I felt very left out because I did not get one of the bracelets, I do not know where they were given out. But at that time, everyone stood up and watched in awe, it was very beautiful. You could say it was just a little additional effect, but with the wristbands lighting up to the music, everyone felt like they were part of the show even more. Overall, this band plays tremendously live and it is such an enjoyable experience.

First time to watch their show after being their fans for the last 12 years. It was a great experience. They finally made it to America after all these years! I am sure Hide and Taiji will be glad.

X Japan is the most legend and rock ,rock band of the world. Their show is awesome.

It was amazing show, we had a great time with my husband and we were happy about our seats and a view which we had :)

GREAT SHOW! GREAT ARTISTS! VERY ENERGETIC~ WILL ATTEND THE LIVE AGAIN!

honestly this concert was the best concert ever X Japan is amazing & I hope they come back soon <3 <3 <3 <3

This show was nothing short of magical. I've seen X Japan before, but never with the full on stage show. Every second was amazing. If you ever get a chance, go see X Japan. You will not regret it.

If I can only choose one concert to attend, it must be X-Japan. They are always be my number one since 14 years ago. Thanks for let me to be present at this wonderful marvelous concert,it's such a honor !

All show was great!! The lights, sound, pyro, film..... All band are a great team!! Toshi´s has an incredible live voice!! Sugizo´s show is great too. Thanks to X Japan for this dream made true.

I've been a fan of X Japan for a few years and until this point, have only seen clips of their concerts on YouTube. I was a little disappointed not to join the general admission close to the stage and instead have a seat. however when the show started, I found the full view of the stage to be better with the lighting, pyrotechnics, and jumbo-tron. Especially the jumbo-tron with unique animated backdrops for each song and occasionally displaying close-ups of the stage and band members as they performed or spoke to the audience. The music was beautiful and surprisingly the sound quality was the best I've ever heard! If we weren't all screaming and singing along I would think it sounded close to what you would hear on the album. I unfortunately forgot my earplugs before getting in line and luckly I did not need them. I guess this is because I wasn't close to the stage but I didn't have any sever ringing in my ears after the show.

X Japan s show at The Garden was just amazing; they brought the entire show that they would perform in Japan here state side and it surly did not disappoint.

One cannot begin to describe the life-altering experience that is X JAPAN at Madison Sqaure Garden. There are no words, only emotions. You can feel the dreams of thousands of fans coming true, as well as the band's. We received the Tokyo Dome experience here in NYC, and it was spectacular. The guitar vs. bass battle between Pata and Heath was sexy. Yes, sexy! Sugizo's hands fluttered like dark butterflies as they caressed his violin. ToshI sparkled on stage as well as our eyes and ears with his voice, screams and all. Finally, Yoshiki, the god of rock to us (the fans) ... his presence provided all of us with so much grace and passion. He tugged at our heart strings with his emotional message, asking us "Where is Taiji? Where is hide?" The fallen, yet perpetual, members were very much present among the band, as we cheered for them as loud as humanly possible. It was a dream-come-true for them as well. For all of us. And it is an experience I will forever remember, and forever love.

Best freaking concert ever! I was so excited to see X Japan, I couldn't contain myself! It was such an emotional experience for me. I will definitely catch them again at another event. We are X!

If you're familiar with the Japanese rock band X Japan then you're reading this to find out if seeing them live is everything you've heard of or seen on You Tube. The answer is a resounding yes!! Playing and headlining their first full arena concert in the U.S. after a stint of smaller venues back in 2010 X Japan was welcomed with open arms by hundreds of faithful X Japan fans at Madison Square Garden who like myself would not miss a chance to see them live is it only happens rarely due to their hectic schedules, band issues, and in this instance a rare chance to play state side in a country that they are for the most part relatively unknown in. Rest assured the people who do know them were there in full force. The show started on time with their song Jade and from start to finish the energy and emotion did not let up for a second. Make no mistake this was a full on ROCK show, playing hits from the past as well as some new songs for the upcoming album. By far the best live show in terms of production and execution. Lasers, fireworks, a huge LED screen. It all worked and worked well.

I'm so glad I came to see X-Japan live for the first time. I was 10 when I first heard their hit song "X" in the anime called "X". Ever since I loved that song and the band, then 14 years later I finally get to see them and was blown away, and felt the emotion from the bands story. They need to come back again soon and with a new album!!! I can't wait!!!

This is absolutely the BEST concert I have ever seen. X-JAPAN is so amazing! This feels like 1997 Tokyo Dome again! I was screaming all the time and I cried at the end. X-JAPAN please come to New York again!

I first had the privilege of seeing X Japan perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2010, and also attended their concert at The Riviera Theater a couple of months later. They play a variety of styles ranging from heartfelt ballads to hard driving rock. They are master musicians, engaging, and enchanting. See them once, and you will fall in love with X Japan!

X Japan is an awesome band. They hail from Japan but they can perform in English perfectly! They put on quite a show with fog machines and lazer lights, and tons of audience interaction. I do NOT recommend the Roseland Ballroom staff because they are very impolite, and down right mean. Just because you're staff doesn't give you the right to treat the paying customers like garbage. I hope X Japan NEVER plays there again.

I am so glad I didn't miss this concert! Probably the most Epic I have ever been to, and I used to go to A LOT. The crowd was moved to tears, and rocked hard, (I have bruises to prove it). Words cannot describe the Epicness that fell that night. The Line wrapped around the entire New York City Block Back to the Entrance. Singing Happy Birthday to Toshi (Lead Singer). Yoshiki jumping into the crowd. Pata almost crying on stage. Sugozi playing violin solo. The crowd singing to the group. The crowd showing X with their hands as X-Japan took snapshots with their fans from the stage.

While the Roseland Ballroom was kinda small for a band as popular and phenomenal as X JAPAN, the band put on a most unforgettable show. As a die-hard fan of X JAPAN, I've been waiting for them to come to the USA and play in NYC for about a decade since I discovered their music. The first song I heard by them was "Forever Love" as the ending to the movie of one of my favorite animes: X. Ever since, I've been a devoted fan. And to finally see them live without having to travel so far, to me (and undoubtedly to many others in the state and around), was truly a dream come true. This is not an exaggeration. It was literally a dream come true, and as drummer and co-founder of X JAPAN's Yoshiki said to the million fans: "If you believe in yourself ... dreams can come true." And I've always believed that I would one day see them perform. Thank you for coming to New York, for playing on Toshi's birthday so that all the fans could wish him the best, and for making the dreams of all your American fans come true. And a special thanks and sooo much love to Yoshiki for the free pizza! ♥ and a most happy and healthy birthday to Toshi!!! ♥ WE ARE ... X!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ WE ARE ... X!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ WE ARE ... X!!!!!!! ♥

The place is not big but a lot of ppl going for X Japan. I walked around 10 mins to get to the end of the line from the beginning. To make sure we r not starving, YOSHIKI bought a lot of pizza for all of the fans who's waiting in line (how sweet). Even from the second floor, I can still c X Japan members on the stage. I can even c their make ups!! How close I am!!!! It's the best concert I'v went in my life=]

Either the best or one of the best concerts that I have gone to. X Japan rocks!

The ballroom is little bit old,but the show is everything. The waiting line is way tooooooo long, but thanks to Yoshiki's pizza. What a night, remind me forever young and rock never dies. Although I am just twenty,hah.

That was definitely one of the best concerts I had ever been to!!! Yoshiki was amazing in the drums and the piano, Toshi's voice is simply magnificent and has no match, and as for Sugizo, Heath and Pata they are simply the best and they proved it on the stage!!! Although they did not sing all of their best songs, the ones they played were flawless!!!! I would go again and again if it were possible!!!

X Japan had an amazing performance and I didn't know until yesterday that it was their second concert in their first North American tour! I really loved the intensity and when everyone knew the songs, it sounded like a choir, it was haunting and melodic! I would definitely recommend this to anyone and the theater was nice was well ^.^

I have seem thse guys about 15 years ago when I was in Japan. They were one of the biggest act in Japan. ( They still might be ). I think it was really cool for their fans to be able to see them such and small venue. It was my first time at the Fox Theatre in Oakalnad and the venue, their staff, and sounds were amazing. Although the bar aera "DEN" was amazing. Food was kind of expensve for what they were( $16 for salad and Naccho ) but I guess bar food costs that much these days. Bartenders were very friendly and drinks were awesome. I liked the show but they band played too many long slow songs beggining of the show . I remember them playing more heavy and fast music. There were few seats available to sit and watch the show but my sister and I eneded up leaving the show early because the show was on TUESDAY NIGHT. I hope rest of the show was amazing and everyone enjoyed the show. Maybe they can come back again with few of Japanese acts to USA soon.

This was a dream come true for me. Watching Yoshiki's absolutely emotional performances on Piano and Drums, Sugizo's blistering Violin and Guitar solos, Toshi screaming and sustaining his vibrato at full vocal saturation. And Heath and Pata rocking out was bliss beyond my imagining. Thank you X Japan for an unforgettable night and for loving your American fans so much to come out and turning out such an emotional and awe-inspiring performance! And thank you hide for posthumously bringing these friends of yours - talented musicians each one, back together.

Loved the show. This is a huge band, yet we were able to see them at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. We were so close to the stage without being in the mosh. I loved the show. So worth the price. I just cannot believe it.

It was awesome show that I have been waiting to see before die!!!!!!! First of all, thank God for their re-united and it was a amazing moment because to see X Japan's concert was almost impossible at US, unless went to Japan. Thank you X Japan for touring at US and I hope they should have another tour at US again near soon as called "Encore tour"!!!!!!!!!!!! Really thank all of people who made this happened

X Japan was amazing, absolutely loved them. Their performance was awesome especially the violin solo by Sugizo :D

X JAPAN just rocked the night! It is definitely worth it to go if you have never been to thier live. They just sound amazing live!!! I never listened to a band that does awesome in live like X JAPAN!

X Japan rocked as ever! Sugizo's violin solo added even more touch to it. Sugizo and Yoshiki's piano and violin solo was just perfect. They also played Endless Rain, my first song from them. We all sang along with them, we danced with them, we had one of the best nights of our life with them! At the end, Yoshiki just jumped into the audience! I was so jealous of them in the front row! If you're watching their next tours, make sure to get a seat in the middle of the front row!

X-Japan was my first live concert. I must say that overall this event was spectacular. There was so much positive energy from the band and audience alike. I became just as hyped from all the excitement. Their songs were really good and performance was powerful. I would easily recommend this band and event to any of my friends and acquaintances!

The show was simply amazing - I'm so glad I was able to go and experience X Japan in such a venue.

I took a side stage seat which just a beside of the main stage, so I could see them from very close distance although I couldn't see them from front view. but I felt really live sounds, and playing. That's amazing one!!

I still feel good from the concert. It was first X Japan concert for me, and now I am a big fun of them. I can't wait for them to come back. It was not only good music, but great entertainment that you feel you are a part of them.

X Japan is the extremely famous top rock band in Japan. I m a fan of the band since 1989. Their live was held at the Madison Square Garden in NY on Oct. 11th. It was incredibly great show. Everything was amazing and impressed. I felt X Japan s passion, energy, soul and wishes from their stage. It s impossible to tell this precious experience in few words. All members have experienced lots of things, both happiest moment and saddest moment in their lives. Their attitudes toward their lives are extremely positive and give good influence to others. X Japan is REAL great musicians.

Been their fan since I was 12 and I have been wanting to see their performance for so long time! Now that I am part of their MSG live concert performance, I want MORE! I hope I can go to their concert as well as Yoshiki's solo performance.

This was an incredible show to be at. Being that this was the first concert of my entire life, it was a great experience. X Japan played really well that night and I loved how they used the moving stages and pyrotechnics. The sound was really good and the audience was great. The atmosphere was really good to be in. It was very energetic at the beginning and the ballads and solos were more on the softer side to further the concert.

Been waiting 20 years to see X Japan play and it was worth it. The showmanship they bring to the stage is absolutely amazing. Its more than just the massive firepower they open the show with.. or the wristbands they gave everyone that were linked to Yoshiki's drum kit for one of his solos.. or how they announced a new album and not only played material from it but taught the choruses to the crowd so they could sing along to songs they were hearing for the first time.. or the personal touch of Yoshiki and Toshi talking to the crowd about how much it meant to them to finally play Madison Square Garden.... it was how all of it combined to make the best show ever.

X was amazing! Ever since I discovered them back in 99 I had always wanted to see them live and my wish came true! I will never forget it for as long as I live. I can't wait for their world tour! The only complaint I have would be that the MSG staff was clearly not prepared for the fan girls. I even heard one say that if people kept pushing they would tear up the ticket and they wouldn't get in at all. There was a language barrier and they failed to acknowledge that. But X Japan was perfect in their performance!

Great. X JAPAN should return soon with their new album next year!!!

The performance was full of energy, friendship, emotions. Things that you barely see in other concerts. There were few very touching moments. But overall, if you're a rock fan, you simply can't miss X-Japan, it's a must watch event at least once in a life time.

Aside from the fact that they didn't play: Weekend, Blue Blood, Standing Sex, Orgasm, Sadistic Desire.... it was awesome. There were sparks, flames, explosions, solos, screaming, flailing, ballads, crowd interaction.... it was badass. The worst part was having to deal with idiots in the crowd holding up their phones to record the show. Just buy the DVD. Get your iPhones out of the way so we can all rock out properly.

Amazing live at amazing venue! I am a X fan who has previously seen other lives by the band. This one was definitely among the best!!! Acoustic of MSG is awesome.

Great and exciting show! It was much better if I could get arena.

They were AMAZING!!! Literally the best concert I have been to in my life!!! If you have a chance to see them, DO IT! It is well worth it!!! Once in a lifetime Xperience cant wait to see them perform again!!

Had an amazing night there! Everything was amazing!

XJapan at Madison square garden was an amazing show. I'm so glad for Yoshiki and Toshi and the rest of the members for achieving their dream of playing a huge show in the USA. Yoshiki is extremely talented. He played the drums and the piano at the same time. They went from hard rock to classical and kept the attention of the crowd. They had the whole crowd in tears when Yoshiki broke down, asking over and over "Where's Hide?" I can't wait for the new album and world tour!!

Best V-rock band ever! Was an amazing experience. We are X!!!

Honestly, for my second concert ever in life, I'd have to say this was the BEST and most AMAZING show I've ever been to!! I've never been so happy in my life to see one of my favorite visual kei band preform right before my eyes!! The show was a day before my before birthday and so X Japan really made my birthday amazing!! I thank X Japan for coming to NY to preform! I came all the way from VA just to see them preform!! I'm very thankful for you guys for coming! I hope to see you again! I LOVE YOU! :D

I have dreamed of seeing X Japan live for over a decade. I never believed it would actually happen. But then, X played at Madison Square garden, and I was able to go. Just like that, my biggest dream became a reality. Dreams aside, this was the greatest show I have ever seen, and I intend to see every show of X Japan's that I am able to!

I've always loved x Japan's music, but occasionally with older bands, I'll skip a show out of fear that the band has gotten too old to do justice to their own music. X japan is not one of these bands. Not only did they have the energy to play a 3 hour set, but you could tell that, far from being jaded, they were more excited than ever to be conquering Madison square garden. It truly was a memorable show and I'll definitely see them when they're back in New York. I don't generally go to shows with a lot of lights and pyrotechnics, so I appreciated the novelty of these elements.

I became a fan of X when they were broken up and I thought I'd never be lucky enough to see them live. They were AMAZING!!! Literally the best concert I have been to in my life. Sounded great, great energy, great theatrics. It was more than a dream come true. EVERY time they preform and if it is physically possible, I will be there. WE ARE X!!!

This was a show I thought I'd only ever dream of seeing. Everything was more spectacular than I could have imagined. I still can't find words to describe it. It hasn't full sunk in that I have seen X Japan live. I've seen my idol, Yoshiki, on stage, doing what only he can. Nothing will ever come close to this show. My expectation bar is now set incredibly high.

I was excited! It was a great time☆Thank you so much!!

X-Japan gave an amazing show ever, enjoyed so much would love to see them again!
