Quote:VAMPS is the name of the band formed by HYDE (L'Arc~en~Ciel) and K.A.Z (Oblivion Dust). HYDE and K.A.Z have been working together on HYDE’s solo work since 2003. After years of collaboration, the two finally decided to form their own band and agreed that there was no better way to announce the new VAMPS project than getting out in front of the fans right away. A new member is set to join for 2011's "New World Tour", following the release of the album of the same name. VAMPS has given no details as to who this member may be, but there are rumors that former bandmates from Hyde's previous undertakings may be on the list.

Wikipedia doesn't list a source, so I'm assuming it's just Wikipedia being typical Wikipedia. That, and I'm fairly certain that they 1) wouldn't name a tour or album "New World" thus causing confusion with the L'Arc song, and 2) bring a new band member in--unless he/she is for support--as HYDE already said that VAMPS is "just the two of us." That combined with the fact that there's yet to be a single announcement for a new album or supporting tour as far as I'm aware.

So normally this would be more than enough reason to tell me that it's all complete rubbish, but... my curiosity overtakes my logic. So although I highly doubt it's even the slightest bit true, I was wondering if anyone could verify this information? (With, of course, citations to the appropriate website.)

On my end I have no information regarding that, specially because next year will mostly be about L'arc, maybe a collaboration between L'arc and vamps could be possible, but a new member out of the blue and from Hyde's former bandmates seems unlikely. If I find out more info will post here ^_^.
