Hide is the name of more than one artist:
1) Japanese rock artist, first… Read Full Bio ↴Hide is the name of more than one artist:
1) Japanese rock artist, first known as a member of X Japan.
2) Chicago-based industrial noise duo featuring Heather Gabel and Seth Sher.
3) Drum & Bass artist, also known as Computer Genius.
1) hide松本秀人(born on December 13,1964 - died on May 2,1998) was the self-titled 【hide】solo project of X JAPAN's lead guitarist. He released his first album, HIDE YOUR FACE (on which he arranged and played most of the instruments), in 1994 to huge success. hide's music generally consisted of heavier, speed-oriented songs and pop efforts, incorporating elements of electronic rock and pop to form a unique blend of sound.
hide's real name was Matsumoto Hideto. hide (pronounced 'hee-deh' ) is simply a shortened form of his first name, Hideto.
When he reached his high school years, he formed the band Saver Tiger (also called as Yokosuka Saver Tiger, not to be confused with Japanese band Saber Tiger). The formation did not last long and they disbanded. In his senior years he completely abandoned music and decided to enter beauty school to become a hair stylist after graduation.
Before that career could take off, Yoshiki gave hide a call, looking to fill one of two guitar positions in his band, X. He mentioned that he had heard hide's amazing skills, and wanted him to join. hide had a while to think about it, and he eventually accepted.
The band was first known as 'X' before being re-named X JAPAN. After years of performing and 4 albums, X JAPAN took a break to focus on each of their solo careers. hide took this opportunity to express himself and became massively successful. What stood out most was his unique voice and guitar riffs, updated appearance, and lyrics that identified themes such as sex, drugs, and violence (notably Hi-Ho and Genkai Haretsu).
Well into his solo career, he collaborated with guitarist Ray McVeigh from The Professionals and bassist Paul Raven of Killing Joke to form the band, zilch, meaning "zero". This band was somewhat successful, releasing albums such as 3,2,1 zilch, and bastardEYES. During his collaboration, his lyrics became more dark and sadistic, the songs were more industrial rock than the alternative rock sound as seen in his solo career.
hide handpicked several members to perform with him during his first two tours: HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY and PSYENCE A GO GO. After the disbanding of X JAPAN, hide named his live band Spread Beaver, and together their band name was hide with spread beaver in which hide was vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter.
May 2, 1998, Hide was found dead, hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo Apartment. While authorities deem the guitarist’s death a suicide, several of Hide’s friends and colleagues stated that they believed in an accident, this was supported by the fact that there was no suicide note.
Because of hide's abrupt death post production of their first album, hide with spread beaver and Zilch, had to be done by I.N.A (who was a member of both bands). The tracks appeared how they were intended (except HURRY GO ROUND, which was a combination of several songs) as hide recorded most of the tracks before his death.
His guitars were mostly from the Fernandes MG series.
In the latest song I.V. from X JAPAN, it is reported that unreleased guitar riffs by hide were used so that it would be a 'complete' X JAPAN production.
Also, HIDE (allcaps) is the moniker used by one Hideyuki Takahashi (高橋ひでゆき), one of 菅野よう子's many collaborators, on the songs cream and run rabbit junk.
A previously unfinished song by hide called "Co Gal" (子 ギャル Ko Gyaru?) has been completed by INA utilizing vocaloid technology to mimic the deceased musician's voice. The song was originally written and demoed for Ja, Zoo in 1998, took two years to finish and will be included on an album by Universal Music set to be released on December 10, 2014.
2) HIDE is a Chicago-based multimedia industrial noise project of artists Heather Gabel and Seth Sher, who began a recording career with the 'Resurrection' EP in 2015. Hide have recorded three full-length albums on Dais Records, Castration Anxiety (2018), Hell Is Here (2019) and Interior Terror (2021) alongside several EPs and singles.

I found X in 99. Discovered there was more amazing music than what I was hearing on the local radio.
After they became my favorite band, I learned about hide in '98, only one year before I discovered X-Japan.
I was devastated. But their music sustained me through many difficult times.
"Psychommunity" introduced me to metal anthems. This song and "Tell Me" and X's "Endless Rain" all inspired me to learn guitar.
Many people my part of the world will never understand my appreciation for X-Japan and hide. But this is a large piece of my life. I am very thankful that you uploaded these.
Now I listen to them because nostalgia reminds me of better days.

中学２年の時からのhideのファンです（新潟）
2019年、念願だった三浦霊園にhideのお参りに行きました
「サイケペイント」のギターも愛用しています
最近、国際社会や政治の勉強をしていますが、
hideの死因はおそらく他殺です
世の中には闇の勢力（カネや利権にまみれた人々）が存在します
hideの才能が悔やまれてたまりません
希望、寛容、道徳
私はこのhideの想いを次世代に繋いでいきたいと思います

50秒からの衝撃は、高校生の頃からいまだに色褪せずに残っている。
初めてヘッドフォンで聴いた時‥。
@mourimaki
ヘッドホンで1番最初の小さい音が聴こえる音量で再生して
音がどんどん塗り重ねられて1番大きくなる所で気が狂いそうになる瞬間にふっと優しい音になって引き戻されるっていうのを高校生の頃よくやってました。
今久しぶりにやってみたらやっぱりドキドキしました。
体に悪そうだからあまりオススメは出来ませんが。笑
@unknownpleasure858
