Taiji's work in X cannot be compared with others. Without Taiji , the X's song has changed it's style .And they renamed to X Japan. There is big difference between the songs with Taiji and Heath.
Yup, Yoshiki renaming the band X Japan has nothing to do with Taiji leaving the band. And on a side note, no matter how much I love Taiji as a musician (and I really do!), he sucked big time as a solo artist. Taiji & Dirty Trash Road is probably the most uninspired, generic, radio-friendly, cheap rock/country music I've ever listened to. Not much better than elevator music, honestly. I wouldn't believe it when some people told me that as far as songwriting is concerned, his leaving X Japan was not a big loss. That is, until I started to listen to his solo work. Huge disappointment, really. The real mastermind behind X Japan has always been Yoshiki. He's the one who wrote all the band's greatest songs. Sheer technical prowess in itself is insignificant without the ability to write good songs. It's like being the best and the fastest at deboning a chicken or at peeling and chopping onions perfectly, and yet being totally incapable of cooking a decent meal. Total waste of talent, IMHO.... Oh, and one last thing. X Japan's change in musical style is not related to Taiji's departure. It was mostly due to Yoshiki's health problems, namely cervical herniated disc. That's why he's had to wear a neck brace on stage for more than 20 years now. And that's why there are very few intense, fast-paced rock songs on the album Dahlia, and what we got instead was mostly ballads. Again, this is nothing new. Taiji had already complained many times before that the band had gotten too soft and was now appealing mostly to teenage girls because of songs such as Endless Rain, Unfinished or Say Anything. He wanted the band to go back to its roots and to a much heavier sound, just like when they were playing to a male audience in live houses. But Yoshiki was adamant. He kept telling Taiji "this is *MY* band and I'll do whatever *I* want. If you don't like it, just leave". The only other band member Yoshiki would listen to was hide, nobody else. He was the one who could persuade Yoshiki to do things he was reluctant to do. hide's untimely death is what really killed the band.
X Japan has always redefined music, and Taiji was no small part of that.. If things went differently, where Taiji didn't leave the band and Heath didn't join, who's to say where it would be today.. Taiji had a record of being wild, drunk, out of control. That said, he was an amazing bassist and should not have passed on as he did. Blue Blood is my favorite X-Japan album, hands down, and his contribution is no small part.
So unbelievably happy you included Saga playing with Nao!!!! When I came across this solo a while back, Saga was already one of my favorite bassists (besides Reita) and the full 6 minute video solidified that belief
Taiji is a beast X Japan are pioneers and one of the best if not the best band out of Japan. I wish BOH from Babymetal was on this list hes one of the best bassist out there right now.
I was about to ask about Toshiya's sick ass solo he does on Akuro No Oka but then he popped up as the bonus. I always thought thought solo in particular was friggin' S I C C Also, thanks for tuning me into some other great bands I haven't heard yet!
泰司はプレイヤー＆アレンジャーとしても伝説。フレーズセンスも絶妙。1位は泰司で納得。
The reason we remember Taiji was a member of X not just because he was in the band. But also because he's skills that made people remember him.
泰司の凄いとこはソロもさることながら、やはりバンドで音出した時に本領が発揮されてると思う
特にライブでね
走りがちなYOSHIKIのドラムをちゃんと迎えに行って元の軌道に戻すとか…
ベースに限らずなんつぅか音楽のセンスとかファッションなんかも含めてずば抜けてるって思う
Taiji and Heath!! X JAPAN are indeed legends !!

there was already a band called x is why they changed the name to x japan

RIP Heath ❤️🩹
@@Megrez-Alberich Don't ignore DTR. DTR is a commercially unsuccessful but highly complete album.
どんなに着飾ってもどんなにパフォーマンスでカッコつけてもTAIJIのオーラには敵わない なんなんでしょうねあのカッコ良さ
ゼノンとTAIJIは凄すぎやね。別格。
TAIJIのカッコ良さは世界一！
TAIJIさんは私の心の中で永遠に生き続けています😢ベーシストの中でも、一番やね❗
taijiはなんであんなメチャクチャな生き方してんのに、ここまで上手いのか。
Xとかラウドネスじゃなくて、カシオペアあたりでもやっていけた腕とセンスの塊。
ゼノン和尚は安定の巧さ１位でもおかしくない
Taijiはベースヒーローとして最も輝いていたし惹き付けるものがあると思う
唯一無二という意味で１位は理解出来る
Picked the right one for number ONE. Taiji forever.
和尚は聴いてて心地良い。
TAIJIはオーラからして違う。バックに高崎 樋口 YOSHIKI HIDEがいても目を奪われてしまう。
ベーシストでありながらこのメンツをも喰ってしまう事が信じられない。
ベースの概念を超越しとる
Taiji is the god of Japanese bass
沢田泰司のタッピングは高崎晃のそれを彷彿とさせる
聖飢魔IIのゼノン石川氏も同様であるが、チョッパーを多用するベースとドラムのセッションはグルーヴ感に溢れ、心地良い音色だと思う
no doubt Taiji is the number one ♥
I fell in love with bass because of him
TAIJIさんさすがかっこよすぎ💕
そりゃNo.１だよね💕
ゼノンさんは何というかもう別格ですね！トーク時はのほほん癒し系なのにこの超絶プレイというギャップも良い♡
真珠夫人 ヽ(^｡^)丿いぇーいのおじさん
声がまた優しい
Xenon Ishikawa is definitely a monster! Awesome!! O cara é simplesmente demais!
Taijiの動画みる度に惚れ直してしまいます
亡くなってからどんなに月日が流れても私の中ではTaijiが一番
TAIJI〜プレイだけじゃなくルックスも1番かっこいい！
Taiji is so freakin' talented
TAIJIは海外メタルバンドのベーシストともタメはれるレベルで上手い。手の動きとセンスが化け物かつ魅せることのできるベーシストだった
Taiji also the bestest on Guitar too ! He always awelsome forever.
Taijiはギタリストhideと並んでビジュアル系のレジェンド。ビジュアルは元より天才のYOSHIKIの音楽にさらにエッセンスを付けてヒットさせるなんて、普通の音楽家でもできません。
だいたいのコメがtaiji…
指がない状態で不利なのにもかかわらず
ここまで上手いとは。。神なのかよ
やはり、ベーシストのトップはTAIJIやわあ🎵私の中で一番🎉
The best bass.... Mr.Taiji sawada..
Taiji deserved first. GREAT solo.
やっぱりゼノンが最高！聖飢魔IIのライブが絶対にグダグダにならないのは、ゼノンとライデンが正確無比にコントロールしてるから。ルークがあれだけ無茶苦茶に速弾きしても破綻しないのは二人がいるから。エースのメロディアスが活きるのも、ジェイルが単調にならないのも、全部二人が作る土台があるからこそ。
泰司のベースが好き
泰司が好き
ベース弾いてる泰司はかっこよすぎるの
狂愛TAiJi
その通り
わかるわー
ベースラインのセンスとかテクニック含めると天才ですよね
しかも超かっこいい
なんかTAIJIだけ会場の雰囲気が違う
他のは観客ノリノリやけど、TAIJIのだけは静かに魅入ってる
会場全体が魔法かけられたみたいに異様な雰囲気に包まれてる
それほどの技術、カリスマ性、凄みがある
@@棺桶-p6v
当時、Xの追っかけだったので、大抵の会場にいましたが
Xのソロは基本、静かに
聴き漏らしがないように
皆、集中して聴いていたものです
あまりに真剣に聴き入り過ぎて、卒倒して担架で運ばれる人や
ライブ中ずっと泣き叫んでいる人も多くいました
ファンも
【瞬間の美学】に生きていたんですね
もう当時のソロが聴けないと思うと
何だか淋しいもんです
I saw Taiji and click so fast lol, this guy is a legend! as Toshi said he's the best bassist in japan.
more like best in the world
i&MinaInLove correction, the best in the world !
A lot of people think he his death wasn't really suicide.
totally true, nobody compares to Taiji
Same haha
こんなに沢山の人のベースソロ聴いたのは初めてだけど
大好きなTAIJIが1位で嬉しい🎵
音楽の神様ありがとう。
でもHIDEもろとも早く連れてったことは許さん。
X Japan has always redefined music, and Taiji was no small part of that.. If things went differently, where Taiji didn't leave the band and Heath didn't join, who's to say where it would be today.. Taiji had a record of being wild, drunk, out of control.
That said, he was an amazing bassist and should not have passed on as he did. Blue Blood is my favorite X-Japan album, hands down, and his contribution is no small part.
TAIJIとゼノン和尚が、やっぱりずば抜けてるね😊👍
TAIJI天才すぎ
the GazettEはLUNA SEAにバリバリ影響受けてるんだなって
やっぱりこの動画はゼノン石川和尚とTAIJIがクライマックスなところある
この動画に出てくる他のメンバーもちゃんと上手いし、かっこいいのも事実
あとあんまコメントに書いてないけど、やっぱり人時めちゃくちゃ上手いな
TAIJIのサムネで飛んできた
ベースソロできる人はそれだけで技術力が高いね！
TAIJIはクラシックギター出身だから、譜面もちゃんと読めたんだろうな。
タイジこれ20歳くらいでしょ？どうなったらこうなるんだ？当時UA-camもないよね。何を見てこうなったんだ。昔の人ってすごいな
?ノブナガ ハングリー精神やない？俺も昔の人凄いと思う。
タイジは正に別格！
確か20代前半だったはずですね！本当にTAIJIさんは化け物だったと思います！
X事態、別格だよ(≡・x・≡)上手い下手叩かれてるけど(ネット)
今でも世界で活躍してんだぜ。
小さいとき親にVHS見せて
日本のビートルズなるねて言ってたぜ笑
5歳でX知って今でも聴いてるよ(35歳)
メロディが心に残るんだよな(*ゝ｀ω・)
HIDEとTAIJIは当時からおかしかったと思うよ
あまりにも時代を先取りし過ぎて
そんなメンバーが2人もいたらXはそりゃ音楽業界の覇者にもなれるよ
何を観てこうなったかじゃなくて、誰よりもベースを観て診て魅せられたからなんだと思いますよ
Taiji forever..!! and in the Masayoshi Yamashita picture you put Akira haha, at least they are from the same band haha!!
Taiji playing Smoke On The Water riff on bass 💗 Miss you hide and Taiji :(
Taiji、、やはり別格ですね。。惜しい実に惜しい、、、
So unbelievably happy you included Saga playing with Nao!!!! When I came across this solo a while back, Saga was already one of my favorite bassists (besides Reita) and the full 6 minute video solidified that belief
山下がそれをやるまでベースソロって概念がなかったわ。人に聴かせるベースってのは難しいね。TAIJIだけが異次元のテンポ。ボスハンドをあれだけ駆使されちゃーね。
TAIJIのこの映像を初めて見た時の衝撃が今でも忘れられない。どれだけ賛辞を贈っても贈り足りないベースソロだよね
でもこれをやってたのって、実はほんのわずかな期間だけなんだよね。jealousy以降、「ベースはグルーブだ！」って言い始めて、曲の演奏もギターリフとのユニゾン主体に変わっていった。
これだけ弾きまくれたのに勿体ない…
残念な事は当時タイジのスゴさをどれくらいの人が理解出来てたろうなぁ。
まぁ、俺もその1人なんだが。。
1.- Taiji (X/X Japan)
2.- Xenon Ishikawa (Seikima-ll)
3.- Hitoki (Kuroyume)
4.- Saga (Alice Nine)
5.- Heath (X Japan)
6.- Masayoshi Yamashita (Loudness)
7.- Reita (The GazettE)
8.- Kazuno (Moi Dix Mois)
9.- J (Luna Sea)
10.- Miyu (Amadeus)
no one could defeat Taiji ❤
Clicked to check if my man Taiji is number 1, wasn't disappointed 👍🏻
Phantom of the Opera!!!!! (I gotta start listening to more X Japan now). Awesome list
Taiji is the legend
I think TAIJI No.1 of Asia and top 10 of the world. He is my favorite. On bass TAIJI !!!!!!!
テクニック、容姿、音楽センス、作曲能力、全てにおいてTAIJIがNo1
yoshiki その生き様、TAIJIて名前の五感すらかっこいい
i have an admiration for the bass. It's the "oomph" in music.
And these guys are the Kings of Bass.
好きなベーシストと、好きなバンドのベーシストが1位2位でめちゃテンションあがる
Kuroyume is... AMAZING!!!
ゼノン和尚というより、RXというリズム隊が素晴らしい!! Taijiは誰もが納得だね!
オリジナリティーならタイジより押し❗タイジも凄いですよぬか
ゼノンは化け物
泰司は怪物
山下昌良はレジェンド
Rose of PainのTaijiのベースソロくそかっけーよな。ランクに入ってないけど。
I know that taiji is the best basist in Asia ever.
R.I.P taiji~
泰司がもういないのが非常に悔やまれる
愛用のベースはどうしたんだろう
やはりNo1はTAIJIのベースだね。
YOSHIKI「俺より目立ってんじゃねーよ」
いいそうw
R.I.P. Taiji
Woa, the Greensleeves bass solo was sweet.
And I can agree on Taiji be the best :3
We Are X!!!!
気のせいかな？
TAIJIのオーラの出かたが他とは段違い！
Taiji is the best
ゼノンかっこええ
最後のTAIJIのヤバさ
檸檬蜃寧 その2人が飛び抜け。ついていけるのはJのみ
taiji is the best!💗
アリスナインって初めて聴いたけど、すごく丁寧にベースソロ構成させてて興味ひいた。ベースソロというより、ドラムとベースのデュオ曲という言い方がしっくりくる。
和尚とTaijiは別格。てかこの2人の為のランキングで他は寄せ集め、しかも下位のはソロって言うんかい笑
i know most of them are drum/bass duet .. and i love how they played thier bass guitar.. .. from top no,5 to no,1 was the awesome on me ..
TAIJI!!!!!!!! IS #1 OFF COURSE
TAIJIが一番🎸👏
taijiもheathもランキングに入ってるとか嬉しすぎる！
納得の1位
タイジが選んだだけあってXってのはやはりものすごいロックバンドなんだよ
それは間違いないですね
ゼノン突出。スラップ、こんなに豊富なフレーズ・正確なリズムをこなせる人はいない。ベースの音色・演奏のキレは他のプレーヤーとはレベルが違うと痛感。ロックベースだがジャズファンクにも精通しているからかフレーズが豊富すぎる。
TAIJI SAWADA~!BEST~!!
結局TAIJI以降(順位じゃなくて時代)に出てきた人は既視感しかない。
否定はしないけど
Taiji is pro bassist
taiji～❤️❤️
1位と言ったら、TAIJIに決まってる💥🎸💥
技術だけに限ったら分からないが
ルックスx技術だったら
断トツTAIJIだな
やっぱtaijiさんが一番だ
Taiji is a beast X Japan are pioneers and one of the best if not the best band out of Japan. I wish BOH from Babymetal was on this list hes one of the best bassist out there right now.
Trueeeee boh the GOD
ゼノン石川すげえ、別格。
ทั้งหล่อทั้งเท่ทั้งเก่งขนาดนี้ ...เสียดายยย เราคิดถึงคุณนะไทจิ😂😂
タイジ………この動画観てくれているかな？。
ずっと忘れない。
泰司うまいなぁ～
最初のタッピングはビリーシーンのようだしSmoke on the Waterはギターみたい。
ANTHEMの柴田直人、リアクションの反町哲之は枠外かぁ～
ゼノンはやっぱり上手すぎる…😭 世界一好きなベーシストです！
とりあえずTaijiは神
それな！！(≧▽≦)
So cool
Thank you for making this!
I was about to ask about Toshiya's sick ass solo he does on Akuro No Oka but then he popped up as the bonus.
I always thought thought solo in particular was friggin' S I C C
Also, thanks for tuning me into some other great bands I haven't heard yet!
一位のTaijiだけ納得できるランキングw
AreruyaHareruya555 俺はゼノン石川が2位なのも納得やわ
R 俺はゼノンはずば抜けて１位やとおもう。
スモーカースロット TAIJIとゼノンは実力は互角かもしれんけどカリスマ性やセンスではTAIJIの方が上に行ってると思う。TAIJIはYOSHIKIにも匹敵する作曲センスもあるし。ただし、ゼノン以外にTAIJIに対抗できるベーシストはいない。ゼノンさんも天才
@@jtjtmjatgopdptg
凄く同感。ゼノンはめちゃめちゃ上手いベースって感じだけど、TAIJIは本当にベースなのかわからなくなるような変態的なセッションセンスがあると思う。ベーシストとしての腕前はほぼ互角だけど、1人のアーティストとしてはやはりTAIJIが別格
Taiji 無敵!!!
BIG LIKE for Alice nine! A9 ONE LOVE
TAIJIはガチ
ＴＡＩＪＩありがとう
I think that heath bass sounds awesome at phantom of the opera and taiji rocks tha bass I love how is fingers dance over the bass
