LOL. I've never taken a single drug in my lifetime. I'm high on life (and my inbox ;))

Some people can be so gullible. Once they see a clear, undisputed proof, they immediately start believing it.  :D

Well.. I believe him, just because of that yeah. But I'm open to changes. If someone else gives me a clear, undisputed proof of it not being for hide, i could change my mind in a heartbeat.

Lee went his way and asked the person who knows the answer best, because he (and alot of other people who don't care THAT much about hide) wanted to help clear this subject. But why is it always reacted to as if it's a crime. You almost make me believe this forum is under a dictatorship.

Something I've always thought was that he wrote the song after hide's passing, but had alot of influences also from Toshi's departure. Somehow I think that is how this discussion has been born. That's why I think that if you ask: "Is it for hide?" the answer would be yes. Though if you ask: "Is it about hide?" the answer would be different..

Not saying it is so (nor do I know if it's true), but that's rather how you, and other members of the X community have slowly formed the image I have on this subject. So that's why I said "I believe him." Simply because this is how I have always had it in mind. Man, what a mental subject this is.

Yes, I think Yoshiki had already said this on an interview. Of course he didn't specify whether it was for hide or about hide, but yes, hide's involved, although he used the euphemism of a friend that passed away some time ago.[/i]

Woah, I can haz admin colour.

@motorhead : which part of the last live ?
Because I could have sworn that I did not hear without you in that concert.

Goodbye is hide's song, Yoshiki composed the intrumental version for hide Tribute Spirits

Lee, thank you for clarifying this matter  :P

No, it was definately written AFTER hide died. You might be getting mixed up with "Longing ~Togireta Melody~"?? The lyrics in that are "Sing without youuuu, i'll sing without youuuuuuuuu" and a few more bits including the words "without you".

Yoshiki never wrote the ballad "goodbye hide", hide wrote the song "Good Bye" and Yoshiki transcribed it and played it on piano on the hide tribute spirits album. Hope that helps a bit  :D

lol I know that feeling. As there're a lot of "I can't live without...", I was confused with the song named "Unnamed Song" too.

I cannot disclose that information.

It did involve drugs, prostitution and bribery. That is all I can say.
