ex-X JAPAN bass player dies after arrested for misbehaving on flight

Japanese rock star found dead after arrest for misbehaving on flight
A Japanese rock star arrested for misbehaving on a flight has died in a hospital in Saipan, two days after trying to hang himself with a bed sheet in the island's jail.

Taiji Sawada, 45, made his name as a bass player with the heavy metal band "X", which later became "X Japan" and had a huge domestic following in the 1980s. He left the group in 1992 but played with a series of other rock bands, including "Loudness" and "DTR."
Sawada had been arrested on July 11 for allegedly assaulting a female member of the cabin crew of a Delta Air Lines Flight 298 shortly before it was due to arrive in Saipan from Tokyo, according to documents from the Northern Marianas District Court cited by Japan's Saipan Tribune newspaper.
The attendant was in the economy class of the aircraft but heard a commotion in the business class, where she found Sawada allegedly struggling with a female passenger, the complaint said.
The crew and several male passengers were able to subdue Sawada and transferred him to another seat in the aircraft. A short while later, he again became violent, punching windows and kicking other passengers' seats.
The captain of the aircraft was eventually summoned and ordered that Sawada be placed in physical restraints until the plane touched down. Sawada was arrested after leaving the aircraft but never gave a reason for his actions.
Held at the Saipan detention centre, Sawada apparently tried to kill himself on Thursday evening by hanging himself with a bed sheet. Discovered by warders, he was rushed to the intensive care unit at the Commonwealth Health Centre and placed on a life support machine.
The machine was turned off on Sunday, the newspaper reported.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Sure sounded cool, perving up women and then throwing a fit when he couldn't get none, and had to be restrained. Instead of facing the repercussions, he killed himself. Real cooooooooooool

RIP Taiji.


This guy played the bass like it was a regular 6 string guitar.

I got crazy worried for a second there. Yoshiki seems to find every opportunity he can do delay his music.

What X songs did taiji play? And on which albums?

BlueBlood and Vanishing Vision

Taiji left the band due to creative differences and Yoshiki being Yoshiki

the latter for any X fans knows how demanding and a perfectionist Yoshiki is.

Yoshiki will play SummerSonic, he's at ComicCon right now anyways

this was Taiji's last show with X


from last year
