X - Taiji Bass Solo complete (1990.02.04)

[ShearsHaifisch]

Best bassist ever,now you can take a rest,we all know that you were murdered.

[KhanhTran1990]

He is a great song writer and bassist, but in different style with Yoshiki so he had to leave the band. I think Yoshiki songs are good but almost all his best songs were written in ballad while X japan is heavy metal band. Taiji's or Hide's good songs almost in hard rock. Taiji and Hide had the same ideas of music, they contributed a lot for X japan hard rock music. Thats why when Taiji left two last albums were not rock at all. Taiji-sama, you can have your own band with Hide in heaven <3

RIP master

[shakuzu1]

これはやばいですよ。こんなに感動する演奏はＴＡＩＪＩにしかで­きないと思います。本当にすごい！

[JetterWang]

R.I.P Taiji!

[KyprosNighthawk]

Hmm.. Taiji hung himself... So did hide.... So sad.

Seriously, Heath can't even touch Taiji in skill with the bass. (Heath has gotten better, but I still struggle to hear, unlike Taiji who was just awesome)

[LaVitaNouva]

@KyprosNighthawk Just wanna let you know,in Hide's case it was an accident not a suicide.

[KyprosNighthawk]

@LaVitaNouva

It was officially listed as a suicide by the medical examiner. (Whether or not he inteded to kill himself or not, since he was drinking the night before, who knows what he was thinking. Either way, his death was from his actions, sadly.) There's plenty of speculation out there whether it was premeditated or accidental. Never saw anything proving one way or the other. :\

[LaVitaNouva]

@KyprosNighthawk Thank,what a sad story.

[TheGreatR100]

Say hello to Hide from all of us.

[moonsol]

amazing, rest in peace. i never forget your music.

[gioran23]

6:04 Smoke on the Water!

[acaftermath]

...why taiji why...

[0371takos]

TAIJIもHEATHもこの世で唯一無二のベーシスト。

どちらもすばらしいんだ。

[Hyde1990]

Rest in Peace, Taiji.

[crazzyzzy]

英雄氣短

那個時代的神又少了1個了

我可以肯定 , 如果當年taiji 沒離隊 , 就算之後hide死了 , xjapan 都不用解散

因為還有taiji 這個有靈魂樂手氣質的神

就算heath彈得好 , 但他有 靈魂樂手的氣質嗎 ?

霸氣 , 眼神 , 張力 , 風範 , '' 氣場 '' , 壓逼感是天生的

heath只是正常的bassist

但taiji 是bass !

[kaho3157]

@crazzyzzy XJAPAN在HIDE死前就解散了

[lunafairy07]

こんな色気のあるベース音を聞いたのは初めてだ。Taiji //// R I P.

[funglee789]

TAIJI, R.I.P.

Rock in Heaven with HIDE

[podG4]

Local police in Saipan killed him...

[PinkSpiderXXX]

R.I.P Taiji. You were fucking awesome.

[02Catharsis]

First Hide then Kami and now you, such a great loss!

Taiji Sawada, Rest In Peace, you are not in this world any more but you are always in our hearts.......

[syukuyin]

TAIJI R.I.P..

[PoshBat]

R.I.P Taiji forever love

[Obscure128]

Definitely the most underrated talent in X. I wish he could have played his songs with X Japan one last time but obviously Yoshiki cares too much about his music to give a damn about what Taiji or the fans want. RIP Taiji.

[snlx]

@Obscure128 Please don't say that of Yoshiki-san. I believe each and every member of X Japan mourns the loss of Taiji-san as much as us fans. It is already a very sad day, let us not drag in these needless arguments.

[SpaceClouds134]

@Obscure128 they did get to play together again, although not with hide.. Yoshiki does care. dont say something like that, please. RIP Taiji.

[blacknails]

The epitome of rock n roll. RIP

[HorizontalMoo]

RIP Taiji :'( I still can't believe it...

[model23girl23]

Taiji still drives me crazy....

Taiji,come back....

[EscaladeStyleZ]

RIP TAIJI!!!

Rest in peace, Taiji-sama. ;_;

[PinkSpiderXXX]

ベーシストでこれだけ技術があるのは凄い。キッスのジーンシモン­ズなんてひどいからね。ソロやらせたら最悪。Taiji 偉し。

[jarekuXhide]

YEAAA SMOKE ON THE WATER Taiji is sick on bass

[shota1996able]

on bass taijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiー!!

[bubbly92c]

kinda hot xD

[ueki905]

There's also a Killer KB-DAGGER bass guitar that looks like this

[model23girl23]

この時TAIJIは、まだ２３歳という奇跡・・・。

He was just 23 years old at this play.......

[diconrbruc]

すごい…なにか、Taiji現象の中に入ってしまった…みたいな­感じ？

[yu313smile]

he did too less solo-__-

this is almost the only vid showing his solo

love TAIJI!!!!

[lunafairy07]

I think they tell the world his talents more

[TheGrade90]

mega bassist...mega unknown and forgotten..=(

[TheGrade90]

eruption on bass

[takkoi103079]

HIDEの部屋があるなら

TAIJIの間があってもいい。

7分は短すぎる。もっと聴き惚れていたい。

[zarijin]

ネ申

[SpaceClouds134]

Oh fuck he bass tapped =O

[luna34496]

タイジさんはチョッパーやタッピング奏法がうますぎですね！

荒くも弾けるし、繊細にも弾けるのが凄いです（＞＜）

[KyprosNighthawk]

I listen to the live performances from when Taiji was playing, and then when Heath was.. I can hardly ever hear Heath playing.. He might as well not even be there. Taiji on the other hand, his style is LOUD. It's always a good thing when you can actually hear the performers play. =P

[knythphim223]

早送り!?www

[tomohiko315]

TIJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIII！！！！！！！

He will back to X!!

[jojojojojo]

技術だけならTAIJIを超える人もいるでしょうが、これほどの­カッコよさ、カリスマ性、技術が揃っているベーシストはそうそう­いないと思います。天才という言葉で片付けてしまうのはある意味­失礼かもしれないけど、本当にTAIJIは天才だと思います。

[cobalt1002]

これほど強烈な輝きで人を魅了することが出来る人は少ないと思い­ます。

時代も国も全て超越している。ボロボロになってもわが道を進む彼­を尊敬。

[hyc011109]

Taiji is better then Heath but I love both of them!~

[93LAT]

taiji 4 ever....taiji u my idol.... number fon..???

[exiong25]

he makes it look so easy

[hasanahmed6]

bass tapping! wow, Taiji is amazing, shame he left :/

[hajimenosanpo]

カッコいいって言葉はtaijiを見たときに一番多く使っている­気がします。

[ChevalierAguila]

Taiji a whore from "running" to other bands? Taiji played bass in two of the most important rock/metal bands of Japan: X and Loudness. Whoring, heh , trolls these days.

[CorvinusVZ]

somebody knows tha model of the bass? =0

[You2Too]

It's Killer KB-IMPULSS JJ Sparkling Purple

[CorvinusVZ]

thanks =0

[7colourbird]

this is the "True Power" of X Japan,they outstanding in every aspect of their songs and music,with taiji,their performance become outstanding

[Dekorad]

You are a moron. You claim to like old X and then you say shit like that.

[OMGaoyeng]

TRUTH. Taiji IS a whore. How many fuckin bands have he gone through? How picky can he be?

[Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr]

amazing *~*

[makohanakurumi]

かっこいい

[ZNicky]

this is great

we are X

[heath1ken0sugizo5]

PS. Jeżeli kogoś obraziłam napisz-wydłubie sobie oczy, utnę język, powieszę się na jelicie i powyrywam ścięgna w pokucie :D

[mapp2tube]

かっこよすぎるo.o

[StEbOLaTiNa]

what bass is it? PLZZZ

[You2Too]

Killer KB-IMPULSS,

you can find it on their website

killer(dot)jp

[MetalsonicX7]

@You2Too Is the impulss better than the dagger?

[You2Too]

@MetalsonicX7 I checked Killer's website and it seems the Dagger is made by a much cheaper wood than the Impulss. I don't know if it would sound much worse because of that though.

[MetalsonicX7]

@You2Too Okay, because I'm saving up for a dagger, and I hope I can afford one next year.

[You2Too]

@MetalsonicX7 Ok, good luck with it! It's a really good looking bass model in my opinion, one of my personal favorites.

[MetalsonicX7]

@You2Too Hehe thanks. I think it's awesome too :)

[Kururos]

i just love this solo

i wish i could play it sometime

:3

[weathered79]

i heard this guy hit rock bottom lost his money and sanity it's a damn shame to have all that talent i hope he makes a comeback

[Dekorad]

That was after he left (or was kicked out) X? In 1992, I think he plays in Cloud Nine again, at least I read some new (2007-2008 not sure) article about that.

[nubetostada]

Yes, but it was a long time ago, before the year 2000. Now he's got not financial but health problems, he had an accident last year and he's been through several surgeries to come back to play; right now he is at the hospital again due to some aftermaths concerning that accident. However he's looking forward to be able to play live again this year. And so we are!!

[yasuazteca]

taiji love

[attreid]

Is that the dude who commited suicide with a door ? That is a most funny way to die :)

[yuoyuoyuo]

No that was hide.

[bloodclot]

It's at the Nippon Budokan, Rose & Blood Tour,

I Fucking love Taiji.

[saberjevang7]

taiji finger taping is amazing, i wish he never left x

[auresch]

Taiji.... God of Low Tone....

[dekigah]

OHMAGAD is he really playing? Sounds like a concert in only one bass!

[140689140689]

It's smoke on the water! ya can't even name the song correctly! so shut up dude...

[Win31abuser]

well, moon on the water is an actual song by beck, so stfu!

[140689140689]

huh? What's that got to do with him?

Sorry anyway

[auresch]

You're Shit On the Water... or maybe u're fuckin' in the water...

[saberjevang7]

this is deep purple song smoke in the water covered by taiji, no the beat crusaders (beck) moon on the water

[Kururos]

xDD

[bloodclot]

Taiji had nothing to do with lead or rhythm guitar's. He was the bassist. Fail.

[dotaass]

may i noe why in almost every song,his bass can be heard so clearly?izzit his bass,amplifer or the way he play?hes different from most bass player

[auresch]

maybe his bass effect. or maybe the amplifier. Brightness, Treble, Echo, etc.

[Kururos]

Where did you get this?

he's amazing!!

[tengiscool]

He was better than Heath, but i like the both the same over coolness. but skill would be taiji.

[Vannorius]

Baby face and killer fingers!!!! Craaaaaaaaaaazy Jap!!!!!

(technical q: does he use piccolo strings?)

[tricky8888]

OMG!!! TAIJI!!!

His really KILLER OF BASSIST!

He own Bass!

[yeotao]
