What I meant by that is that there's on those songs, there's a lot of loud instruments doing different rhythms contributed by the audience's loudness. In such a low-volume venue, the instruments merging together would tend to sound like a total mess. With SWEET DREAMS, it's mostly the piano, the drums, and the acoustic bass playing largely the same rhythm, so it's not quite as hard. Even loud songs like COUNTDOWN could be considerably easier than the three I listed because it's based on one central rhythm as opposed to overlapping rhythms. But then, I don't know what special programs and ridiculously-expensive software they use, so I wouldn't know.

Quote:I agree with you in the sense that yes, it's not right that we don't have nearly the same amount of access to VAMPS-related merchandise. It sucks, no need to tell me twice. However, VAMPS don't HAVE to release a special DVD for just their tour in the U.S. They didn't even HAVE to tour here in the first place, I'm sure we're all very much aware of this by now. If they wanted to, they could have just made a "VAMPS Live 2009" DVD and include a bonus DVD with just clips from the U.S. tour. While true, releasing two DVDs could quite possibly lead to more profit, it still costs, nonetheless, to create a separate DVD. The thing is though, a lot of other countries don't even have what we have. So, anything "VAMPS U.S.A" -related, I'm grateful to have. Such injustices, unfortunately, are the price we pay as overseas fans.

Again, I understand all that. Just my expectations were ridiculously high for the DVD, so the news of only 10 songs dumbfounded me, so my outrage is just my way of saying I love their music and only wanted to see them perform more ^^;; - But it's not like VAMPS are exclusive to this practice, nor Japanese musicians in that manner. Even European musicians sometimes release America-based merchandise and only give their American fans half of the treatment they do their domestic fans. At least VAMPS has the courtesy to make their DVD's region-free.
