Nope. But like Kasumi and pt_93, I hope I'm wrong too.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the time changed for X Japan's set on the official Coachella?? Yoshiki keeps saying that it's 11 or so, but the 3rd channel says 12:05 AM (midnight basically).

Holograms of hide and Taiji confirmed....
Ugh... Not looking forward to this at all. I wonder how Heath feels about that. I love Taiji and will always prefer him as a basist over Heath (sorry Heath) but Taiji is not the current band. He will always be X but not X as it is today, you know? And that's ok!
I know hide wanted to renew X Japan but... I mean. Maybe it's best I just remain quiet in this one. Yoshiki wants to do it so he's going to do it. It's his band. We're just the fans of it. And Sugizo will never repace hide but he IS our lead guitarist now! That's why we would all be upset if he really wasn't going to be able to make the Coachella show! He's not just a replacement or session guitarist. The fandom considers him theband and I'm sure X does at this point too..
But... I mean... The holograms... Idk... Maybe it will just be for the song X? In that case it could be pretty cool. It is the band's celebration (no pun intended) song.
There is nothing wrong with that pink pullover. On the contrary, I prefer this to his flashy, riveted/studded leather stuff he wears nowadays. And the crystal-everything. Crystal skulls on his pullover.... why... just why... Sometimes he looks like a Christmas tree or a disco globe....
I like when he wears plain everyday clothes. Yes, pink, too. There is nothing wrong with that color.
Fired for smoking a joint? Bro, that's harsh. But yeah, maybe. We don't know if the anti-drugs thing is even for real. If you're in a position like Yoshiki's, I wouldn't expect him to say drugs are awesome and we did them all the time and it was great, try them as well, y'all! Drugs are not as common or readily available in Japan as they are in the West, though.
Official versions are: 1. Hide and Taiji fought way too much and Yoshiki had to choose between the two (according to Yoshiki's biographer), 2. Taiji got pissed because Yoshiki was making WAAAAY more money than the rest of them (according to Taiji).
My version: the two just couldn't stand each other. Yoshiki then embelished the story by suggesting Taiji had done something terrible to make it more interesting.
