FILM GIG movie's poster release

1993 was a challenging year in the history of X , GIG film had a big impact over the fans who were still mesmerized/shocked of TAIJI's sudden disappearance from band's performances,
 it was also the year when someone new (but who was never a stranger to X ) was introduced as the new member...HEATH...he was nearly 21 years old when was called by HIDE Nisan to come for a chat at the production studio (HIDE's) ,
the chat would soon transform in a audition/rehearsal...and HEATH under HIDE nisan's guidance and fully consent of all the other members become the new X star. I can only imagine what that meant for the young HEATH whom was airing big with other band but whatever potential had,
it was good enough for X since HIDE was impressed enough to vouch for him. HIDE and HEATH never hated each other, such thing it did not happen!! HIDE was a kind of elder brother helping young HEATH to "grow" , musically talking, obviously .
This it was the 1st poster of X , featuring HEATH as full 5th member of the band and it was only available limited edition, as special bonus for the X Official FC members, trough special mail order only.
Because is a rare item all posters have a tractable serial No which ensures the genuine origin for each and single one of them , however that wasn't the only thing happening that year. 
1993 as I said before was full of surprises for X as band,clothing trend and musical stile...
it was normal to be at list a slide change since HEATH brought with him new concepts and interpretation techniques in X's music. Do not get me wrong but...HEATH DIDN'T REPLACED TAIJI OR TOOK HIS PLACE IN X, HEATH simply brought a new energy wave and enhanced the music of the band...
TAIJI will always be "TAIJI OF X" and NO ONE could/would ever TAKE HIS PLACE/REPLACE HIM, even now days after separation, after death...TAIJI is still ETERNAL MEMBER OF X, remembered and honored along with HIDE Nisan forever more .
This poster is as well the 1st one in many years when the band's motto "Psychedelic Violence X Crime Of Visual Shock" is exchanged with another one, " Sequential Visual Assault" ...
damn why does everything at old X era need to sound so aggressive ? like this new motto for example it sounds like...Visual Rape/abuse ???...yet WE LOVE IT ...
so bring it on guys...BRING IT
ON !!! If you enjoy reading, I expect you'll be back for more :) , and I will be delighted to provide that for you :) . Thanx for remembering HIDE Niisan and being interested in X Japan :) , I'll wait for your return :) !
