I wanna know your opinion about "Art of Life" by X Japan, specially about the piano solo of Yoshiki. For everybody who don't know what is "Art of Life", it is a song of around 30 minutes.. it's a very "feeling" song, with a guitar solo and a piano solo. Some people said that Art of Life is the best song of X Japan
 .
Anyway... for me the piano solo is very awesome and weird, it's quite perfect... you can hear the piano background melody while you are hearing Yoshiki's piano performance (it looks like only noise..  ). It's dissonant but impressive.
... However, somebody said that yoshiki's piano solo spoils whole song  , bcoz it's dissonant and haven't rhythm . Nobody knows what Yoshiki wanted to express with his solo... it's very weird.

Please try to spell better, if you can. Reading your post is difficult, thanks. Oh~ X-Japan is my favorite band of all time. Art of Life is a beautiful peice of, well, art. In my opinion, it's one of the greatest contemporary songs ever written, and anyone who has the chance to hear it at least once should never pass it up. The piano solo, I'll admit, is very unusual and might take some getting used to, but I think it's beautiful. However, many say it detracts from the song simply because of the length - the piano solo is almost a 3rd of the entire song - that's around 10 minutes, that's really long. If you dislike it, then get the radio cut of Art of Life instead of the entire song. But saying that the solo has no rhythm....now that's uncalled for. I'm a musician, and I think that his solo has perfect rhythm and doesn't throw the song off-track. Tsk tsk, you people and your short attention spans.

Art Of Life is a great song. I like it both studio and live. The only difference between the two is the piano solo is a few minutes longer live am I right?

No, I meant the differnece between the radio edit (you know, when songs are too long for a radio station to play them, so they cut out a verse or something like that) and the original, full version. |

I generally fast-foward this part of the song to be honest. The same chords being repeated over and over and over and over bore me pretty quickly.

No I'm talking about the difference between the studio one on the CD and when they play in live because when they play it live it's a few minutes longer.
