X (US)
X is a noted punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. While they achieved only limited mainstream success, they were widely considered one of the most accessible and tuneful of Los Angeles’s many punk bands. Their landmark 1980 record Los Angeles resonated so loudly with the artisans of the city it is named after, that the band received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture. They were hugely influential on various genres of music, including punk, hardcore, and folk. Original members were Exene Cervenka (born Christine Cervenka, vocals), John Doe (born John Duchac, bass and vocals), Billy Zoom (born Tyson Kindell, guitar) and DJ Bonebrake (born Donald J. Bonebrake, drums). After Zoom retired from the band, Tony Gilkyson replaced him on guitar. Zoom reunited with X in 1998. The original line-up still tours sporadically.

WE ARE X... from Los Angeles, bitches! Joking aside, of course the LA one is the only X that matters. X-Japan? Well they were OK up to Blue Blood, but Art of Life, their so-called masterpiece, turned out to be a train-wreck despite all its pretense to grandiosity. And this comes from a metalhead.

I wish there was more talk about actual music on here instead of pointless band name arguments. And arguments as to who is 'better' or the 'true' X...the music is very very different, so there is no need for any comparison. Its like comparing 2 girls with the name Ashley and saying they are the same person. Its valid for bands to have the same names...its the fucking music that should be discussed, from any of the bands titled X!!!

v And that's your opinion which you are entitled to. The reason X went to X JAPAN was to avoid confusion so why are fans still on here? Aren't their earlier releases on the X JAPAN page? If they aren't I can understand staying on here but if they are on the X JAPAN page why stay on here? Can anyone seriously answer me because I seriously want to know the difference between this page and the X JAPAN page.

The only 'X' that matters is from Los Angeles. I'm not saying the Japanense band's music is bad, but 'X' from L.A. are and always will be legends.

LogainUB: No, I agree with you there as far as tagging older releases. For example, I still tag the GazettE's older releases as ガゼット as they were originally released, although some people don't. I'm just trying to get more at the fact of X-JAPAN fans hating on other bands and the fact that their plays are getting merged, cause it's rather ridiculous. If said fans are bothered by the fact that their plays are getting merged, they should re-tag their music or just shut up. XD

Nikotyne: The name X belongs to everyone. I don't give much for this 'If you don't change name I'll sue you!' attitude, that's so fucking lame, although I don't know if that's the case here. And yes, they changed their name from X to X JAPAN to avoid confusion with the American band, but that doesn't mean I can't tag their releases prior to 1992 with X, as they should be. I have every right to do so. But don't get me wrong here, I am NOT whining about the page is shared with other bands. Just trying to keep a mature discussion... (and yeah, the whiners are annoying.)
