Hideaki Sekiguchi, more known as Billy / Bass Wolf of Guitar Wolf died today, or rather in his sleep last night, of a heart attack.

I saw a thread about this last night but it was unconfirmed, sadly it seems to be true. This is really terrible, the viewing is open to the public in Japan though, I'm sure tons of people will show.

Long live Billy and Guitar Wolf, the best Jet Rock n' Roll band ever.

Wow, that really, really sucks.

RIP Bass Wolf

[quote]This is never easy. Please excuse me if I start making no sense. Hideaki Sekiguchi, AKA Billy, has left this world this morning, due to a heart attack at the age of 38. Billy was a brother, one of the wolf pack. He rocked harder than anybody in the room, and I would feed off that energy. He was a great friend, and I can't really do him justice when I'm like this. He was too young to go, he still had some rock let in him. Lately Billy was acting a little odd, he said nothing was wrong. That's just like him too, the hardass. God damn it. Some of you may have had the chance to meet Billy, you know how awesome he really was. I just can't believe it, he was there from the beginning. I know Billy's up in heaven rocking out, keeping all those mother fuckers up at night. I bet he'll start a band with Joey Ramone and Elvis. He would love that.

Sorry guys, but all shows are now cancelled. I hope you understand. Please don't flood us with letters/e-mail asking us when we will continue. I just don't know what I'm gonna do now. It was always me and Billy. He would want me to keep rocking, and I just might. Anyway, I've got lots of stuff to do, and think about. I love you Billy, god speed you.

Seiji, Guitar Wolf
