But then hide fans could also feel offended. Taiji didn't only say "bad" things about Yoshiki, but as well about hide. I wouldn't say that the description of how hide was when he was drunk is a very good thing. And only because it's common knowledge it still is not a good thing and still quite a personal thing.
I don't know if Taiji said things like those about all members, but what I know is that he nevertheless also said many good things about hide and Yoshiki - how he's admiring them and how happy he is about having met them and stuff like that. There are things which really surprised me concerning what he wrote about Yoshiki and the feelings to him. And everybody would have known that he lied, if he only had mentioned nice things there.
Sometimes he's maybe a little bit too honest, but in my opinion fair - from his point of view of course.
And the way he described himself was partly much worse I think...
Just my opinion about that.
