“crazy just crazy good”

“WHY! 1 these should definitely be in the top there insane, love these so much no japanese band that I know off even is anything like them.”

“Maximum the Hormone is amazing! Dir en Grey was my favorite band. And then came along the MAX! I love how everyone in the band sings. Daisuke-kun with his screaming, Maximum the Ryo with his awesome guitar playing and melodic vocals (sometimes funny sounding too!) Newo with her metal drumming and her "pop" sounding vocals and (my personal favorite) ue-chan with his crazy god-like bass playing and he does sing every now and then. They are just so fun to listen to. This is the one band that I can head bang to and smile about! The other bands on the list are good too but Maximum the Hormone just influenced me to make music too!!!”

“its really good I mean it apeals to the visual kei fans and allso the power metal/neoclassical metal fans at the same time”
