XJAPAN on ABC NIGHTLY NEWS tonight!

When Josh and I got to Lollapalooza, we saw a band called XJAPAN. We weren't quite sure what they were all about. Their music was sort of Heavy metal hair band rock and the lead singer had an Early 1970's Elvis look. Well, ABC NEWS (National) did a news story on the band's drummer Yoshiki tonight on the 5:30pm nightly news. They said the band is "Bigger than the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen combined" and Yoshiki is one of the biggest stars there and is featured on credit cards, jewelry, he has his own racing team and even a YOSHIKITTY doll (A HELLO KITTY doll). Yoshiki said he saw KISS as a kid and that decided his future. They showed LOLLAPALOOZA and you could see Josh and I in the crowd shot at the side of the stage. Josh reminded me, we were also on the big screen during the SOUNDGARDEN show and they may release the show on DVD/BLU RAY. There is going to be a big article on SOUNDGARDEN in the next ROLLING STONE too.
