Dudes got some viciously fast hands! This album was pritty massive here in the USA. It got total respect from all us metal heads here in the good ol USA.. plus we found out the lead vocalist couldnt speak a lick of English, well.. thats what was going round and the dude took an extra long time to do it in english and we all had even more extra massive respect for LOUDNESS then. It was accepted by all Americans... and us start up musicians knew the lead guitar player wanst fking around! The dudes straight viscous and legit in his light8ng fast playing. Most all my friends and i all when out and bpught this album. It just came out of nowhere! And BOOOOOMMMM... LOUDNESS! They were the talk at all the house parties.. and trust me, u didnt want to be caught without a copy of thunder in the east! I still rock this album today! I have it on cassette.. cd.. and my 1st copy when it 1st came out, the album! Dont get it twisted.. asians absolutely can and do rock hard.. just checkout all the little asian kids rippin it up on a guitar, drums.. bass.. piano and YES....... THE VIOLIN. Lol.. all girl asian bands, 10 years and under metal bands.. asian can definitely rock with me any time!👍✌🤘
Golden days of not giving a damn about tomorrow and living for the now. Can't grin any bigger about all the memories~ god the 80's were fucking awesome.
Saw this tour in Tucson Az. They owned Motley Crue. Shit, even a rotating drum set solo couldn't top the heaviness, the precision chops that Loudness laid down.. These guys f'n rocked!!! One of the best live performances I had the opportunity to see.
In 1985 a friend and I were walking down North Salina St. in downtown Syracuse NY, we were picking up last minute things for the Loudness show (they were playing at a bar called USA Sams)and we saw a limo parked in front of a head shop and these guys come walking out with bags in hand, they looked at us and gave us the horns up, I gave them the horns up and said Loudness and they bowed, later on that day I went to USA Sams to help set up for the show and they recognized me and gave me the horns up again, not only are they one of the best bands of the 80’s, they were the most professional and tight bands I worked with, they were perfectionist in every way. RIP Munetaka Higuchi
Wow, this is great! Thanks for sharing! I remember the first time I heard this cassette. High school in my friends 1977 Camaro...brown Camaro of course. Ha Ha. I was hooked on the band and especially Akira's guitar playing.
Loudness are real musicians, motley crue from what I heard where blew of the stage routinely, I seen crue, never seen loudness, but had a cassette of them,they where good.
big time... Crue was al theatrics, explosions, yadayada... Loudness was WAY above Crue. People that never HEARD of Loudness were totally into it even before half their set was done.
She wants to run, goin' on, point of no return No looking back, hope is gone, just a slow burning Lost without love, so she tries to get all she can Into the night, desperate eyes, look for helping hands Like a scream, the siren's call Now it seems she's lost to all Moving slow, and trapped in pain Don't run with heavy chains What's left is torn apart Heavy chains on heavy heart Her broken life Her broken heart Broken promises lost and found Just a knife Into her heart Keeping her down What's left is ripped apart Heavy chains on heavy heart Broken pieces of life Broken pieces of heart Broken pieces of promises lost and found Heavy chains like a knife Cutting into her heart Keeping her down Ohh, heavy chains! PS, I was at this show, METAL!
Yeah you can tell how great Loudness is as a metal band. I've never seen them live unfortunately but I have a few of their concert vids. I love their music.

These guys are great. One of the best guitar songs of all time...period.
I was 14 yrs old and my older brother took me to crue/loudness show and loudness completely blew crue away. The 80s were the best
I believe that. They were all pros.

Yo I'm hear/here in 2024. These times were special.
Golden days of not giving a damn about tomorrow and living for the now. Can't grin any bigger about all the memories~ god the 80's were fucking awesome.
Yep.....80s had the funnest concerts.
Motley crue was sorry to have this band open.....blew them away
Totally! Even a rotating drumset couldn't top the chops of loudness

I'm still listening 25 day's from home.loudness... 2024👍👍👍
Akira is pure Gold!!
Loudness played with heart..Crue played for money and fame.
Yup. A world of difference.
Setujuuuu
\,,/ MOTLEY CRUE \,,/
Betul sgt..tepat..patut motley crue yg opening utk Loudness..hehe...sure terkujat Crue tengok depa ni main.."alamak dasat depa ni, malu kita.."
I was at this show, and remember thinking if I were Motley Crue I'd get back on the bus and go home. Mr. Takasaki was on that night.
@Scott Leoski ... Allentown Fairgrounds, Allentown, Pa.
@Scott Leoski I wanted to be there, but didn't make it... I should have gone.
Today 13 Aug 2023 still come here to watching this !
I love you loudness forever..i first time heard this band since 14 years..1985 is the best era of metal band
EZO??
Japanese greatest rock band..legend

Crazy bass...Great and beautiful Band....Loudness ImI
Tringat zaman ni..cukop popular t shirt lambang matahari terbit..terbaik loundnes..
Marham Dollah sama la dgn saya😆
Marham Dollah di Kulai, Johor ada satu lori pasir belakangnya dipenuhkan dgn gambar matahari terbit... mmg gempakkk
何度見ても凄すぎです。この時代に戻って生で見たい！当時は中学校３年生だったなあ・・・。
Akira banging that toggle switch multiple times during his solo is insane. Thank god I found this album as a teenager in the 80s.
This album was epic ,I bought the next four Albums after this and Akiras tusk of the jaquar
日本人の誇りだよ！Amazing！
日本の誇り…、本当ですね。高崎氏のｱﾙﾍﾟｼﾞｵが終わり、ｶｳﾝﾄ1、2で始まった瞬間そう思いました。
ﾓﾄﾘｰ…、ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞとしてはﾋﾞｯｸﾞですけど…。このﾗｳﾄﾞﾈｽはちょっと別格ですな。
続けて失礼します。
後のｲﾝﾀﾋﾞｭｰで高崎氏が、｢80年代まだｶﾞｷだったから、自分の音って何？｣と、ご謙遜されおっしゃられていましたが、とてもとても…。
個人的な思いですが、ｳﾞｧﾝﾍｲﾚﾝの1stと2st、それとこの高崎さんの音はﾛｯｸﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞ史上の最高峰におられると思うのですが…。
'Thunder In The East' (and 'Lightning Strikes') are easily two of the all time BEST metal albums EVER! Just KILLER in every respect!
agreed!
Oh Yes!
Dissilusion album is the best
I prefer The Law of Devil’s Land, In the mirror is my favorite Loudness song .
The best japanese metal band
マー君のステージング、最高です。マジで格好良い
I used to crank this on my turntable as a teen. Something incredible about Akira Takasaki's tone. It was magical.
Was at this show. Great Allentown Fair. Ritchie Blackmore said this was his favorite place he's played for the sound his guitar made there
The best heavy metal band I've ever heard
Motley Crew should be opening for them haha
Exactly!
\,,/ MOTLEY CRUE \,,/ F**CKN RULES
Yeah, I was at the Baltimore show.
Agree hahahaha
🤣
Still watching at 2024
かっこええ❗かっこ良すぎる❗
４０半ばでも熱くなりました
i was there, loudness was on fire , motley was on the theatre of pain tour they were tired and it showed, still love the crue and loudness too
Hell yeah Loudness! They are awesome! Killer music from a golden time. To this day these guys have a huge following in the world!
I was at the Loudness/Motley show , but the one at the Philadelphia Spectrum '85 ..... my first Metal show..I was 16 and I was hooked ever since!!
Best guitarist of all time!
Wow, this is great! Thanks for sharing! I remember the first time I heard this cassette. High school in my friends 1977 Camaro...brown Camaro of course. Ha Ha. I was hooked on the band and especially Akira's guitar playing.
Love Loudness, i bought a lot of thier music dvds when i was in Japan
Lagu- lagu sedap di dengar

LOUDNESS is as big as TODAY in the rockers WORLD
Only 17, thank god my pops showed me this band lol
Omg!! Akira you are the man ....the axe God ...
Saw Loudness at the Livingroom in Providence ,Keel opened, great show
Loudness are real musicians, motley crue from what I heard where blew of the stage routinely, I seen crue, never seen loudness, but had a cassette of them,they where good.
Yes agreed
これが最高のパフォーマンス！泣いた！
I was at this show. Allentown Fairgrounds. They opened for Motley Crue.
I’m guessing loudness blew the crue off stage every night of this tour.
big time... Crue was al theatrics, explosions, yadayada... Loudness was WAY above Crue. People that never HEARD of Loudness were totally into it even before half their set was done.
She wants to run, goin' on,
point of no return
No looking back, hope is gone,
just a slow burning
Lost without love, so she tries
to get all she can
Into the night, desperate eyes,
look for helping hands
Like a scream, the siren's call
Now it seems she's lost to all
Moving slow, and trapped in pain
Don't run with heavy chains
What's left is torn apart
Heavy chains on heavy heart
Her broken life
Her broken heart
Broken promises lost and found
Just a knife
Into her heart
Keeping her down
What's left is ripped apart
Heavy chains on heavy heart
Broken pieces of life
Broken pieces of heart
Broken pieces of promises lost and found
Heavy chains like a knife
Cutting into her heart
Keeping her down
Ohh, heavy chains!
PS, I was at this show, METAL!
35年前は日本のロックダサいと感じラウドネスほぼスルーしてましたが
最近TH-cam見てはまってます日本人で海外でリアルに受け入れられているの彼ら位ですよ

This show was @ The Allentown Fairgrounds in Allentown, PA.
They brought a certain Japanese identity into their music.uniquely Japanese riffs n vocality unmatched even by their own local peers!
@My Account hmm interesting I was too young to notice that!

Yeah you can tell how great Loudness is as a metal band. I've never seen them live unfortunately but I have a few of their concert vids. I love their music.
Motley Crue should have been opening for them, Loudness was better than the Crue in every way.
I agree... loudness burn motley crue
thats the spirit!!
Akira takasaki long hair in early 80's!
How awesome.
I still don't understand how Motley Crue thought they could follow this set.
After the September shows, Loudness was replaced by Y&T on this tour.
great music
この曲はクセになるわぁ🎵
No 1. Asia rocker....
MOTLEYがオープニング？この頃サイコーだね！！
Akria is way to awesome
