X Japan

X Japan was a progressive speed metal band formed in the 80's. The band was started by Yoshiki Hayashi and Toshi Deyama in 1982. After the release of Blue Blood and Jealousy X Japan was the most popular band in Japan and was becoming increasingly
popular around the world. In 1998 lead guitarist Hide was found dead in his hotel room , he had hung himself with a towel tied to the door knob. The reason for his death is unknown many people believe it was accidental because there was no suicide note left.

X Japan is a great band if you can get past the way they look. It was the 80's and they were Japanese's not a good combination for sense of style. They dressed in wild costumes, wore makeup and have hair styles that seem to defy gravity.
