Well, in my country, today it turns 14 years that Hideto Matsumoto, better known by his stage name "hide" passed away...
As the lead guitarist of the legendary rock super band 'X' he was very respected and admired, his solo career was as impressive as his performance in X but he was more than that, so much more than that, as I got to know him after his passing -sadly I was very young when that happened- I keep getting amazed as the real impact that a single person made in a whole country and in the world, as I got blown away by X's music, I did research of the band members...I couldn't be more impressed...all the seven of them were so good h
