Can't wait to see more posts like these once the remake comes out
You know some idiot is going to start a boycott the last of us style. Incoming "Konami made mgs woke" even though before 4 it was already heavily implied how Ocelot felt about Big Boss.

Dragon magazine 156, April 1990
Saw this while looking through some old Dragon magazines and White Dwarfs. Me and my group thought it was pretty funny. Something tells me they were probably teenagers, I wonder if they still play.

Spoilers for the MY BLOODY VAMPIRE shows in January 2024!
I saw on Twitter that an old magazine covered Dir en grey's first series of concerts with that name, actually mixed with a couple that were called "MY BLOODY ZOMBIE" instead. Seeing as we don't have much info from back then I hunted down that magazine in hopes of learning more bout what Dir en grey might do in January 2024. As it turns out, there were quite a few similarities!
Apparently, at first Papa Roach played as background music until the show started. Then, every band member walked on stage one by one as usual, but Kyo showed up with a big white mouse costume head (reminescent of the Child Prey PV? which had come out earlier that year). When the first song started, he took off the mouse head and appeared to have white foam or liquid at his mouth. It grew until he eventually spat out a lot of (fake) blood. That was in the first song, but it didn't stop there. Throughout at least the first part of the concert, Kyo continuously spat out more and more blood. The live reporter commented that whether it was due to the substance being stuck in his throat or not, Kyo was not bent on singing well that night, which he interpreted as a sign of integrity.
The theme that night of 2002 at Zepp Fukuoka, which the live report focused on, was really "blood". A message had been played on the intercom to advise the audience about the risk of being splattered with fake blood, and blue vinyl sheets/tarps had even been laid on the floor between the front row of the audience and the stage, to avoid staining the venue.
For what it's worth, not a trace of Yurameki, Akuro no Oka or Zan was played in that show hahah. It was a mix of Kisou and Six Ugly.
If you have seen some fanart of the band's look in Tour23 Phalaris Final -The scent of a peaceful death-, maybe you noticed that Kyo has been dressing a bit like in the pictures above lately, and he used fake blood similarly in Petit Brabançon's Explode-01 show.

we have joked about MCR keith. we have cried about mitski keith. but i firmly believe the True Keith Music Characterization(TM) is that keith actually has no discernable music identity at all. keith lists his top 5 favorite artists and they're all so completely different in genre and vibe and decade and sometimes even language that you're just like ???????? was this kid synthesized in a swedish lab or something
in my HEART i know that keith has the most eclectic taste in music known to mankind. i think keith grew up in the middle of bumfuck nowhere where his only sources of music were 1) his dad's extensive collection of cassette tapes from the 1970s and 80s (note: keith's dad did NOT carefully curate his collection of cassette tapes, he actually just bought a random box of tapes at a yard sale and then tailored his personality around them accordingly) and 2) their ancient clunky boombox that permanently resided on the wobbly picnic bench behind their house. said boombox specifically picked up only 11 radio stations: 5 different Christian radio stations, 3 stations devoted entirely to Christian country music, 2 stations that played nothing but static, and occasionally, when the stars aligned, whatever music the radio station at the local community college three counties away would play.
