I don't approve of the name change, as I have already said many times on the forum. But it's something I'm going to have to get used to seeing because it's reality. hyde has formed a band with K.A.Z. VAMPS started off with music extremely different from HYDE. "Love Addict" and "I GOTTA KICK START NOW." Now I'm not going to lie, I didn't like either of those two songs. (don't fret, "Love Addict" has grown to me, but the 2nd single? Not so much...) They didn't sound like it would've came from HYDE. The music and the lyrics. Then came "EVANESCENT." It seems VAMPS has returned to the HYDE sound. And the entire album itself just screams FAITH to me. It's probably just me though. But pretty much, VAMPS is in my head now, though I favor HYDE more. HYDE is DEAD. Yes, but there's always a REVIVAL stage or some sort. HYDE's BEST ads already said he's back. So he's not dead, probably in a hiatus of some sort.
