Happy Birthday, hide!

[oudeteron]

I knew there was something today... a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the inimitable, ever-so-awesome, crazy genius known as hide!

In celebration because it's so symbolic:

I actually forgot it was today. Thanks a lot for reminding me.

[oudeteron]

No problem!

My god, he was so beautiful!

[oudeteron]

Agreed! He's actually influenced my personal view of beauty a lot (him and X-Japan, which is the band he was also in). I can recommend you more of his stuff if you'd like. :D

[aubergine_pilot]

I wouldn't just like, I'd love. ♥ I've heard a lot about X-Japan, but never really heard much of their music... where would you recommend starting to listen?

[oudeteron]

Awesome! But yeah, that's just the thing - X is such a totally epic band, so it's hard to find where to start. I'd recommend you to have a look at their older stuff first (the Blue Blood album and such) so you know where they're coming from. Then the era where they sort of tune down their image (well, except for hide), the Dahlia album, The Last Live, and then finally 'I.V.', the reunion concerts and hide's memorial. Of course, parallel to some of that you also have hide's solo career. There's plenty up on YouTube, maybe almost too many of the same songs posted a thousand times over. Maybe it would be easier if I just made you a link list or something...
