In discussion with @hades, my favorite One OK Rock live! ^^; I love Takas opening about going back from this concert and starting something we want to do, and those vocals are live – that end! <3

    Rock was my youth. I can see so much of Taka’s influences in him as he performs.

    One of my favourite things about rock music is how amazingly talented many of these frontmen and frontwomen are vocally–also with commanding a crowd but that’s another story. Many don’t get the respect and attention they deserve compared to their other genre counterparts.

      Rock was my youth as well. 😄 It’s the original teenage angst – I don’t know why people think kpop is for teens. Haha

      But at that time, I knew songs and groups but not artists themselves. I just knew the music, nothing like this obsessive kpop love, so I can’t pinpoint Taka’s (he writes & composes a lot of their music)/One Ok Rick’s influences. Do name them for me?

        Ahem. One Ok Rock’s basic influences are Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Good Charlotte, and The Used (Wikipedia). 😅 I would add Green Day to that list, but that’s just me.

          Except The Used, I know ALL of these bands. And a lot their music. Why have I not heard it in ages?🤦 Do you still listen to rock?

            Not really. My music life goes in phases apparently. It also has a lot to do with who I’m hanging out with as well–my peers. As a young kid, rock. As a young adult, folk. As an almost middle aged adult, pop. 🤣 Midlife crisis maybe? Actually, tbh, it’s only in the last 8 years or so that I haven’t been listening to much rock.

            The Used sang two really good songs that I like: Buried Myself Alive; and All That I’ve Got.

            I should say though, whilst there is this one genre that stands out more, I’ve been pretty eclectic through most of my phases with the probable exception of now. I really listen to too much K-pop. And when I say eclectic, that does include country. 😂
