"unsuccessful suicide attempt three days earlier which left him in a vegetative state. His family decided to unhook him from life support at 11am on Monday morning"

vegetative state

what hope is there
lol

rip taji swada

Oh geez, that's awful.
Rest in Peace.

sucks. RIP

they just wanted the money

All of you saying "RIP" probably didn't know or care about this band. Way to feign sincerity you pricks.

: ( aw man sad day

Will listen to IV song as tribute

'All of you saying "RIP" probably didn't know or care about this band. Way to feign sincerity you pricks.'


i dont think you know that this band is a pretty big deal on this site, bro.

Couldnt they pull a Chi cheng? He's been in coma for like 3 years I think and they haven't pulled the plug on him.

chi didn't try and kill himself beforehand
if taiji got any better he'd probably try and off himself again
it's better to just ease his suffering

I'll admit I never listened to this band at all but it's not wrong to show appreciation and feel sorrowful when an artist passes.

R.I.P.

X Japan has been one of my favorite bands for the last 8 years. This sucks hard.

One of my favorite acts from Japan. R.I.P.

No official cause of death has been released

X Japan are in my top 10 bands of all time.
So lame.

UGH RIP

RIP Taiji. He had a hard life.

I love X, saw them a few weeks ago live and they were awesome. Not that it matters whether you liked them or not when someone dies.

RIP

"On July 11, 2011, Taiji was arrested for interference with a flight attendant due to an incident on an airplane en route from Japan to Saipan.[9][10] He faced federal charges in the United States for this.[9] On July 14, Taiji was rushed to an intensive care unit after attempting suicide by hanging himself with a bed sheet in his detention cell,[10][11] which left him brain dead and on life support.[11][12][13] Taiji died on July 17 at 11 a.m., after his fiancée and mother agreed with his doctor to turn off his life support system.[13][14]"

fuck :/

"All of you saying "RIP" probably didn't know or care about this band. Way to feign sincerity you pricks."

legendary band, and i'm pretty sure most of Sputnik knows this. in any case, how the fuck is saying "RIP" insincere if you don't know them?

"All of you saying "RIP" probably didn't know or care about this band. Way to feign sincerity you pricks."

They're not only insanely well-known and respected on this site but they've also sold over 30 fucking million albums. Most of us here know and love them and its idiotic of you to assume otherwise.

Anyway, RIP. He was amazing.

he wasn't in the band for art of life dude left in 92

X will always be one of the best metal bands. R.I.P. Taiji.

RIP

Damn, this sucks bad. RIP. He was a great bassist too.

Asshole, nothing wrong with showing some respect for the dead, whether you know them or not.

RIP
