Heavy metal

Hide is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Tak Matsumoto, Kiss and Pata. Those roots explain a lot about how Hide arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as X Japan, Luna Sea, The Yellow Monkey, DIR EN GREY and Vamps, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dragon Ash, Takashi Tsukamoto, Aina The End, Dezert and Sadie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Hide, reaching back through Tak Matsumoto and forward to Dragon Ash.
