God, I first listened to them around the time they released 'Zetsu'...I think. When they were 'Gazette' without the capital 'E'. About four or five years ago. So it's been quite a while. xD I used to be an avid listener of the GazettE, Visual Kei in general. I'm not really attracted to the whole Visual scene anymore, I just find it rather silly. The clothing may be elaborate and nice but in many Visual Kei bands, it's often the same instrumentation, the same melody, same vocalist, etc. So I went soul-searching.
Anyways, they were pretty great. I didn't enjoy STACKED RUBBISH, everything seemed to kinda go downhill during that era. Songs I can remember enjoying was Zetsu, Reila, Cassis, D.L.N, SILLY GOD DISCO [pretty funky song xD], Wakaremichi and...others. o_o; Their Nil album was quite nice and you'll probably like DISORDER too.
But I still remember them quite well. xD
Ruki - Vocalist
Reita - Bassist
Uruha - Lead Guitarist [I think.]
Aoi - Rhythm Guitarist
Kai - Drummer
But thinking about the GazettE now, it was a good and bad experience. xD Kinda nostalgic for me, but i'm also quite relieved that I moved on. Not trying to anger the GazettE/VK fans out here.

*raises hand* I agree with you, it totally went down hill after stacked rubbish, i love their nil album and more of their older stuff. But besides reila,cassis,etc. I also like taion, and some of the older ones too.
But yesh i would say this was my first visual kei band and now of course i move on and find more different bands/music artists, but i agree it does have a nostalgic feel for me too.

Visual kei means a visual bands coz mostly they wearing unique outfit beside their own music. rather than just wearing simple t-shirt they want to make them different like other band. I dont know to much bout visual kei band "Versailles" maybe lol. Thats my explanation sry if its wrong

I would say Visual Kei is a general movement or some sort of cultural phenomena in Japan, it's not only found in musicians. But you can identify a visual-kei band if they wear elaborate clothing, make-up, and such. Some say it's a musicial genre, some say it's a sub-culture. Examples of notable visual kei bands would be Luna Sea, X Japan, Malice Mizer, early Dir en Grey, Kuroyume, etc.

Try to listen to X Japan, Luna Sea, or the other bands I listed to get the whole gist of Visual Kei.
