zzuhail

The wonderful song ever! No one can beat xjapan!

zzuhail

What bread is to U. S. rice is to Japan. That alone should make it the top of this list.

arbeZameniC

that japanese guy up in the top sucks unlike lars

metfan001

Really awesome song, just the best.. Really better than Hallowed be thy name and who is x japan?

daronboy

Is the Godfather of Japansese Wrestling and is a heavy contributor of bringing the wrestling to Japan.

When you say Japanese Wrestling, I say Misawa. He is the Hogan of Japan and no one has had more matches there are ragarded as five star performances.

He is the best japanese singer!

He is the best japanese singer!

just ignore and block him. he attacks japanese in youtube and sends numerous e-mails that tells a false fact about japan.

ronluna

Metallica holds more influence over rock than x japan, in which x japan only influenced emo rock.

I saw this youtuber drahn1275, who hates japan and I hate him because he creates numerous spams about false details that koreans better than japan and he still idiotically in it. actually I blocked him.

ronluna

a youtuber racist who hates japan

I don't like all of their songs, I like these(god put a smile upon your face, violet hill, talk, politik lovers in japan, viva la vida, death and all his friends, 42, x & y, what if, fix you, clocks, the scientist, in my place and yes)I didn't listen to all these bands on here, I don't know all of them but coldplay is very very close tobe the biggest band on earth, cause they're the best band I know, (I know the beatles, guns and roses, evanescence, linken park, the roling stones)ha don't you agree with me?

crackinsteve

he's really talented, seriously forget about the stupid things, and remember thier talent also the lyrics (if you like the music, x & y, god put a smile upon your face, lovers in japan, violet hill, death and all his friends, 42, and fix you) start voting now!

Rob Bourdon should not be top 70. Girls should vote for good musicians. Don't always vote for Shannon. He is good but not 2nd. That japanese guy is not best. I've listened him. Not the best.

1/2 a million people in one crowded area, with some of the most amazing artists of that era! Could we have 1/2 a million people together for three days now? NO, everyone would get ticked off and kill each other! At Woodstock, there were no deaths and 2 births. More people left than arrived! Plus, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, all of these bands changed music! How is this not better than X Japan?

gibsonrock53

Who the hell is japan x?! I've never even heard of them and when I listened to them they sucked! system is a lot better than A7X, and nirvana just really sucks. Tool also deserves to be ahead of them. Japan x shoudnt even be considered hard rock, let alone number 1

Flying_spidermonkey

This is the absolute perfect song for any metal lover, it gives me goosebumps every time I listen. And Who is X-Japan?

gmarsh

with exception of Nightmare, which is overpopular in japanese rock forums, all of them are very underappreciated and this is the most underappreaciated legendary band that I know in history of japanese rock because people listening to japanese rock are into newer bands like Dir en grey, Gazette, X-JAPAN, Nightmare, An Cafe, etc.

ronluna

nightmare is in underrated japanese band list? they are very popular. this one is really underappreciated unlike those mainstream newer bands.

ronluna

It makes me think immediatly about japanese temples.

one of the band who introduced noise/punk/metal in japan

Influences of as Kiss, Hanoi Rocks, Blondie, The Clash, Ramones, Dead Boys, Mötley Crüe, Faster Pussycat, JetBoy, Guns N' Roses, The Damned, The Smiths, and Japan.
