This dude is hilarious and he's absolutely amazing!
Found him on youtube, and just like anybody else on youtube, he's doing a cover of the song called "Canon Rock" which Jerry C, the original person, took the original "Canon in D" and rearranged it and made it a rock version of Canon.
His username is mattrach and he has rearranged the solo guitar part of Jerry C's "Canon Rock" into a new version of "Canon Rock" which is titled "The NEW Canon Rock".

Pure Emotion 6
One of the greatest,
One of the most influential,
One of the extremely famous bands,
One of the pioneers of J-Rock -- X-Japan.
This is X-Japan's last live in 1997 before they disband due to the vocal joining a cult. There are mix emotions within each of the members and especially their leader Yoshiki, who's on piano, who never wanted the band to disband.
X-Japan - Endless Rain

Beyond was a famous band in Hong Kong and one of the most influential musicians ever existed in HK. They were revolutionists against HK's corrupted music industry.
The original vocalist 黃家駒 (Wong Ka Kui), who was also the main composer and lyricist for the band, has died in an accident on 1993 in Japan during the filming of a Japanese game show. His brother 黃家強 (Wong Ka Keung) then took over the lead vocalist position.
After the pass away of Beyond's main force, Beyond slowly died down and eventually disbanded in 2005.
This concert was taken place in 1996.
Beyond - 海闊天空
黃家強 (Wong Ka Keung) was crying mainly because of his passed away brother and the emotion arousing lyrics.
"The Japanese will never understand, for us and for Hong Kong, that the incident was not merely about the loss of an artist. It was about losing a music revolutionary, and an age of time." - Paul Wong (Guitarist of Beyond) on the death of 黃家駒 (Wong Ka Kui) (Wikipedia)

Here's another example of great musicians enjoying themselves in expressing themselves through music!! You can totally see the enjoyment Oscar is having from his facial expression. A different kind of emotion expressed through a more joyful, fast paced tune comparing to the previous post.
Oscar Peterson - You Look Good To Me

This is, other than Jesus, my hero Oscar Peterson!!!
Most of the great Jazz musicians you see performing on stage or just jamming with their friends are always deep into the music they're playing. Enjoying themselves and expressing themselves! And from watching Oscar Peterson, that deep emotion is shown with his facial expression as well as with each note that he's laying down under his fingers.
Oscar Peterson - Love Ballade

Pure Emotion 2
This is a band I recently found out. They started out in 1993 and disbanded in 2002 because they have reached their goal which was to be recognized by the stadium "Nippon Budokan" which is where they held their last concert.
And this is one song from their last concert.
"Ooki Na Ki No Shita De" - by SIAM SHADE

Ahh! My first post of my new blog! =) I gotta start it off with my favorite J-Rock (Japanese Rock) Band -- GLAY!!!
This song is called "However" by GLAY, and it is one of my favorite songs.
Although Teru (vocal) didn't do the best job in singing this song comparing to their other performances, this is nonetheless a great performance. He was purely emotional when singing this song. And THAT is good music and good musicianship.
GLAY - However
He cried while singing and after singing this song. And one of the reason being why he cried is because of the song's content. Just to keep it short instead of posting the translation of the lyrics of the song "However", here's a summary of what the song is about:
"Its about how he made a mistake saying goodbye to his old girlfriend(?). He wasn't strong enough to say things and it was his foolishness of youth. He goes on to say if he can, he wants to live with her forever and stuff." - superhikari1982 (youtuber)
STAY TUNED! =)
*I updated, changed to another youtube video for this one as the old one has been removed by youtube. This one has cut out Teru's talking at the beginning and his nonstop crying + wiping of tears with a black towel at the end*
