Dude, this disappoints...

Warning: This post might contain slight overreaction towards a happening. Whining and swearing will ensue.

Dir en grey is of course not known as the best dudes when it comes to appreciating and showing concern towards their fans. There are a lot of stories where people feel completely ignored, even after having done a lot to try and make the band feel appreciated. Anyway, in the end it often turns out they're just awkward guys who don’t really know what to do with their new-won and strange fame. They're forgiven, mostly. I mean, it's about the music, we can let go of a lot of weirdeties from them. But... sometimes, it makes it really hard not to quirk and eyebrow and go major WTF-ing of their choice of behaviour towards their fans.

As some of you know, Dir en grey has a fanclub, it's called A knot. There's nothing weird or quirky about that right? Most of these bands do after all. A knot also happens to ONLY be open for people with a Japanese address. People not living in Japan? Well screw you mostly. Anyway, that is not TOO weird either. A bit sour for people who want to join, but still. Now, Dir en grey also happen to like to release a lot of exclusive DVDs for these precious A knot members, which we oversea fans obviously can't get a hold of unless it's illegal. NOW comes what majorly disappoints me and upsets me as a fan. DIR EN GREY RELEASE LIVE DVDS OF THE FOLLOWING FOR A KNOT ONLY:

TOUR06 INWARD SCREAM
TOUR07 INWARD SCREAM (U.S./CANADA)
TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE
TOUR07 THE MARROW OF A BONE -PREMIUM LIVE-
DEFTONES U.S. TOUR 2007
SUMMER with DIR EN GREY and THE FALL OF TROY, Wacken Open Air, Ankkarock Festival, M'era Luna Festival
TOUR 07 DOZING GREEN

Do you guys notice those bolded parts? Yeah? THAT'S THE EFFIN LIVES I WHERE AT! THAT WE WERE AT! OUR MEMORIES, OUR LIVES! THEY HAVE MADE IT FOR A KNOT ONLY! MEANING ONLY THOSE EFFIN PRECIOUS JAPANESE FANS ARE THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED PURCHASING MY AND OUR EXPERIENCES ON A LEGAL DVD!!

Yeah. I never thought I'd feel this insulted by a band. But god damn! Lives to me at least are not just about the band, it's about the band and the fans together. We make something TOGETHER! We share all those feelings and precious moments TOGETHER! We were a part of those lives just as much as they were for fucks sake! How dare they take that away from us? Just to placate their Japanese fans because they are touring overseas? I mean if they can't handle that their pwecious band tour other places than Japan then SCREW THEM. I want my DVD! They can release two for fucks sake, and let us fans be able to have a physical memory of those times. And now The Pledge acoustic version began and the sky is blue and memories are flooding and I miss those days in Denmark and I just want to cry. Fuck them.
