  • this showed me how you can repeat the same lick over and over and still look cool

  • he plays with his teeth like Jimi hendrix

  • As a fellow guitar player. I respect him tremendously as a guitarist. Having said that, his guitar, clothes and hair are a little off-throwing. I'm just saying, if I weren't a guitarist who understood guitar, I probably wouldn't give Hide much of a chance. Not that I judge people by their image, but it's a bit hard to take him seriously...

  • I love hide~! He's insane but that's all the more reason to love him~!

    and stop all you damn haters.

  • stupid solo...just random notes...

  • hes better when hes not using such effects

  • R.I.P HIDE ♥

  • O_O awesome!!!!!

  • This dude uses a lot of harmonics like Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Sam Totman and Joe Satriani. S/he's far from unique.

  • @Omar13Z who else dresses like that and has a sound like that not the technical aspect but a haunting psychodelic beauty with an ability to sing in almost every style and write songs that are so happy but so sad at the same time 

  • @maluse227 Beck, Axel Rose, Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lead singer from MGMT, Lady Gaga(she fits your description perfectly), Singer from Wolfmother, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, The La De Das etc... Must I keep going?

  • @Omar13Z not really lady gaga does not have the rock appeal that hide does and as for the others they have some quality's like hide but none of them are just like him hendrix comes close but his songs arnt the same he has a confused psychedelic vibe where as hides is more of a dream/nightmare

  • @maluse227 If you pay attention you'll be able to fit her voice into a goth rock band or alternative band. There you see? He's not that unique if so many other musicians can fit into his style, even if they only have 1-2 of his factors. And oh I can't believe they crossed my mind but The Doors fit it spot on, and The Mars Volta!

  • @Omar13Z ya but goth or rock are not her style so she does not count and no the doors do not fit ether. hide has his own style and his own way of doing things others may have done similar things and others before him may have done similar things but its his unique combination of so many different things that make him special. and can u please stop insulting my hero.

  • @maluse227 Alright fine, you obviously haven't paid attention to Jim Morrison's lyrics. Listen to The Mars Volta. Trust me you'll notice how they do everything he does, but better. And I'm not insulting your "hero". I'm just saying he's not unique cos everyone has done what he's done.

  • @Omar13Z and lots of people did what morison did and lots of people did what beethoven did and mozart your missing the point true creativity does not come form making your own colors its using the ones others have used but in a way that takes a shape all its own that is what hide did and no one has ever done it like him he borrowed yes but in the end it was his work of art that no one else had ever thought of.

  • @maluse227 Exactly! I think your concept of unique is very black and white. Just cos he made an image for himself makes him unique? um he dresses very glam and his music sounds glam. Hmmm yeah I remember that from the 1980's where almost every band looked and sounded alike. He might be this amazing guitarist in your eyes but in mine he's just s dime in a dozen.

  • @Omar13Z and thats where you are wrong if u really knew about hide you would know he is not just another guitarist he helped to start a cultural movement his music was like nothing else and he sounded like no one else his image is more than just glam its his

  • @maluse227 I don't know what culture you're talking about but if you mean he took Glam to Japan then okay you have me there. But he didn't make a glam movement all over the world. It was David Bowie T.REX, The Cockettes that were the, founders if you will, of glam which later this guy Matsumoto would take up in Japan. Read bro read! Again, I'm not saying he wasn't good, I'm just saying this "culture movement" and "hero" of yours aren't all that special. But you can stick to your guns, see yah!

  • @Omar13Z Visual Kei? X Japan's Psychedelic Crime of Visual Shock was much more than just a "glam movement."

  • @Omar13Z eh, I have the history of Visual Kei dvds. And to be truthful the style was INFLUENCED by glam, as well as punk , goth and various other fashions BUT it was X Japan who got inspired and set the style, And future generations such as Miyavi, A9, gazette..took it further and now there are so many other styles too. Point is, it was a movement.VK has dramatically changed me as a person, it opened my mind to be more creative with fashion and seeing a guy in a dress is kind of normal to me now

  • hide is a god. End of story. I love him. He was far beyond his time.

  • I like both Hide, and Slash. They're both great guitarists, but anyone who compares anything is a fucking moron. Talk about people on videos about them, and please stop comparing things people. Its pointless, and stupid. Admire each artist for who they are, and not who they're like.

  • Hide, you will forever live in our hearts. RIP

  • I LOVE HIS LAUGH AT THE END xD

    I LOVE THE WHOLE THING!!!!

  • i think marty friedman owns haha 

  • Whilst I have much respect for Slash...been to see the guy play several times over the last few decades....this guy hide....I just cant find the words....just wish I could have seen him play live too-awesome!!

  • @SpiritedPixie64

    I know you would have loved his style...

    Arigato ..

  • I'm just laughing because he people here had completely destroyed the guy who dared to say that Slash is better than Hideto !

    Anyway good live ! I didn't know that Hide used to play some experimental works, I'm fucking amazed really.

  • hide still in my heart...GOD BLESS U...

  • Hide is absolutely a master in it, he plays the different style,so how can slash play this by his brain? also slash is a master , but they are really different.

  • hideは声の幅が広いなぁ~

  • hide reminds me of randy rhoads, very melodic! slash has more of a blues sound to his solo approach in my opinion .

  • Holy shit. EPIC.

  • ที่สุดอ่ะ

  • สุดยอดครับ Hide

  • hi , for me hide and slash are diffrent , like valcarion said he learn sweet child o mine solo w juz for a five minute but the effect of that solo so effective until now all ppl like it . it s easy to remember and cool solo too.

  • only few japanese rockers have the rythm and blues spirit,most of the time they've been influnced by the occidental culture !!!! It is not the case for Hide even if he worked in U.S for a while but it doesn't make him a bad guitarist!!!

  • i agree

  • I'm a guitarist from France,I really appreciated the Hide's work I listened a lot of x japan records since the early 90's the one thing I was focus on was the hide solos because I didn't understand the lyrics,but I think Slash is deeper in his guitar playing and he's versatile(blues,hard rock,also classic),Hide game looks more experimental and his solos was just too similar to the rythm,the japan rock is very special so you cannot compare slash to hide

  • OMG! ..awesome ;O

  • my band (((Furthest Krueger)))

    Please retrieve it with youtube.

  • nismoboy29

    you cant really compare hide and slash. its like comparing apples with oranges.

    their styles are vastly different. also when you say better what exactly do you mean? i could say that guitarist A is "better" than B because he has a better tone. or i could say that he is better because A can tap while B cant.

    the issue of who is better is really largely subjective in accordance to personal preferences. i wont dismiss the fact that slash is good but personally i prefer hide : )

  • @bouncychu

    So true, personal preference is everything to everyone. for me personally hideto had far more originality. I love slash as a guitarist, but he's was bought and sold by the highest bidder so many times that he lost his way on the road to complete God as a performer , Now he's a man of money and video contract with little priority left to put out for the underground public. I would love to see him rise again..

  • Slash typically employs pull offs, hammer ons, bends...some fast picking and thats about it. His solos are very melodic and soulful but they aren't by any means hard to learn or play. : /

  • agreed

    I learned the Sweet Child solo in about five minute from memory of what it sounded like

    I cant even TOUCH hide's playing

  • @Valcarion I doubt you learned Sweet Child O' Mine that fast and I doubt you play it good considering how much time you dedicated to it. Learning Slash's notes is easy because his style is medium-paces blue solos (though sometimes he goes faster for certain songs like Paradise City or like in his new album), but his tempo is different from what you'd expect.

    Try learning the solo in 'Double Talkin' Jive' in 5 minutes, then play it along the original. You'll be off by a lot trust me.

  • @MrAnooxy I learned it in five, mastered it within an hour. It's simple. Yes, Slash is beast, and does a lot of shit that is extremely difficult. Is he the most amazing guitar player in the world? No way. I've been playing for 14 years, and can pretty much handle everything Slash plays. Yeah, he plays with more soul.  He's got decades on me. Still, he ain't that great. And I was raised on blues, and have no qualms with his style, trust me.

  • @Valcarion To me he is the most amazing. I've been listening to shredders all my life, learned their stuff (the slowest they can get lol), but at the end of the day none of their songs makes me explode with joy while playing them. Slash's stuff does.

  • @MrAnooxy For me, he's a good player, but not the most fun to play. I enjoy improvising and playing more Hendrix inspired riffs, personally. I do enjoy Slash though, as previously stated.

  • @Valcarion And not being able to touch Hide's playing means that you aren't as good as you boast to be. I've seen so many guitarists be able to technically (not musically) play at his level and surpass him. Speed means nothing when comparing different styles.

  • @MrAnooxy I don't boast to be a great player. When did I ever say that? I merely stated that, given the time I've put into the guitar, I can play most of Slash's riffs. He's not the hardest guitarist to emulate, so being as "good" as him, if you want to call it that, isn't calling myself great. I love Slash, he's one of my inspirations, but I recognize he isn't the be all end all guitar player. Oh, and just for the record, I posted that comment over a year ago. Troll much?

  • @Valcarion ah well, your comment was in the 2nd page o.O! Also, I can play Slash's stuff too but that doesn't mean he's not great. He's awesome. Speed ain't nothing, musicality is.

    Also his improvisation parts are unique whereas when I hear some shredders (except Steve Vai or BucketHead etc.) improvising they sound the same.

  • @MrAnooxy Ahh, I had assumed more comments had been posted after mine, and figured I was on the 4th or 5th page, but no matter. And agreed! Again, personally, I enjoy other guitarists much more than Slash. I do agree with your point on shredders. Ever checked out Paul Gilbert? He's one of my all time favorite guitarists right now.

  • @Valcarion Of course I did. He's Buckethead's teacher :3. And he's great indeed. I'm more of a bluesy guy and I like guys like Petrucci.

    And of course, Tommy Emmanuel @_@ he's superb.

  • @MrAnooxy I love Petrucci. Dark Eternal Night is just brilliant guitarwork all the way through. Tommy Emmanuel is always amazing.

  • I can't believe people compare hide with slash, just like compare laptop by it's spec, for God sakes you're talking about guitarist. I like slash, he is the reason i play guitar, but not because of what u've said, just because his solos are harder too learn doesn't mean he is better than hide.

    YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GUITAR, THE FACT THAN YOU COMPARED HIDE AND SLASH SAYS THAT CLEARLY.

    Both Slash and Hide are great guitarist, they're just different

  • @paulgilbertx87 Hide destroys slash. you wouldnt catch Hide putting out a record with FERGIE from the fucking black eyed peas singing on it. I love slash but hes sold out now

  • HE HAVE SPEED, LIKE TWO SECOND

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • slash is not good at all is just a normal guitar player

  • He's not the number one guitarist but he sure as hell ain't fucking average.

  • have you play guitar?? well I do and he is just an average guitar player..

  • slash from asia

  • i think hide is more accomplished than slash.seriously

  • yes i agree with you, after i see his guitar solo, his blues stronger than slash

  • Slash is originally from england then moved to america

  • omfg.

    <333

    amazing

  • hide forever <3

  • Hide is a guitar god!

  • He was AWESOME. I admire him, he was the most characteristic musican in whole world. He had his unique style.

  • I read the comments and i wonder why people even look up thing they don't even like. Just shut up and watch something else. Waste your time yelling at each other by commenting back at the other. Sigh...

    But anyways...dang he's good.

    ps. don't respond to this comment...

  • Silvertone13 - ur such a retarded person! how dare you call hide-sama a bastard! respect him!

  • very nice first time iv heard hide play its a shame such a great performer died in such an avoidable situation. lets put hide and Buckethead on the same dream stage

  • all he does is uses effect pedals and bends strings? show's how much you know of playing guitar. That's like saying, so and so can't play piano, all he does is push keys and presses on the pedals.

    You made it to one of the stupidest comments I've read Top 10, congrats.

  • I love hide!

    He's so sexxy ;3

  • NO FREAKING WAYYYYY

    damn this guy is goood..

    hella good.

    hahaah..that is awesome~

  • WHAT!?

    YOU SAY HIDE IS A FUCKING BASTARD!

    YOU ARE A MOTHERFUCKER WHO DOESN'T KNOW HIS ASS FROM HIS ELBOW!

    Hide was an amazing person, and you can't deny it. You're just fucking jealous that you don't have a his sexy looks and talent!

    So go fuck yourself for all I care!

    X Forever x_x

  • OMG WTF !!

    hide rules

  • 最高!

  • Hide is my idol 2 , he s the reason i keep playing guitar .

  • hides such an amazin artist

  • hide is my idol ;)

  • @bouncychu

    I think hide-sama was one of the most influential rockers of his time.

    Visually he was the most inspiring, his lyrics were simply mind blowing,

    I am so inspired in my own music just to have had such a great mentor of music in my time.

    Not only was Hideto Matsumot's life important while he was with us, but in his death there is great importance and a true lesson of love and unity that all of us who have ever loved anyone felt when we lost him. We love you Pinkspider>..<
