One of the worlds greatest and most talented bands has sold over 80 million records, and chances are you have never heard of it.
It's a 80's-90's Rock/Metal (For the Western Culture it's a crossbreed with 'Guns N' Roses' and Metallica') Band from Japan, the Band Leader Yoshiki is ranked the words best Drummer (@ 180 BPM consistent for 7 minutes, the only Drummer to achieve this) and also he is ranked the worlds 4th best Pianist that ever lived.
X Japan's Japanese Myspace profile is also the 4th most viewed Myspace profile in recent history.
The bands Singer Toshi sings in both English and Japanese, some songs even switch back and forwards from the languages.
Their most famous song "Art of Life" goes for 29 minutes, and the Live version for 34 minutes, this is the highest rated Metal song in the world, and the only ever metal song to achieve an average critics rating of 9.9/10.
If you have spare time, or appreciate good music, I recommend looking it up, if you do here are the best songs to start with:
'Silent Jealousy'
'Rose of Pain'
'Sadistic Desire'
I love this band so much that not only is it my avatar it is also permanently engraved (Tattoo :P) into my Left Shoulder muscle :P
