My hide tribute
I've pretty much been dwelling about this all day today. Seven years ago, someone very very special to the world was taken from us. Hideto Matsumoto, or more commonly known as hide, can be considered one of the most influential people that I've ever heard of in my life. He was not only a spectacular guitarist, who did work with X Japan, Ziltch and also some solo work; but he is also a wonderful human being and a blessing to the world. I was only made into a hide fan at the beginning of last September when my friend RayRay introduced me to jrock. At first I loved hide for his music and his talent and just his overall stage appearance.
But then I started to find out more about just how amazing hide was in his lifetime. I have to say that the best thing that I heard that hide did was that he actually gave a bone marrow transplant to one of his fans who was dying. Just the fact that he would actually do this for someone he didn't even know is so amazing. I mean, you would never hear about any american celebrity who would even take the time to give their fans an autograph, nevermind take all that time away from their lives to give them a bone marrow transplant.
And I've been thinking about this over and over today. It has to take a wonderful person to be so loved so many years after they have died. hide will always have so many who love and respect him.
