When i was stationed (Navy) at Japan in the early 1980s, Loudness guitarist, Akira Takasaki, was considered the Eddie Van Halen of Japan. Akira ROCKS!!
Such a mean riff. Even the way he particularly plays it makes it sound so aggressive (sounds like he kind of hits it with the side of his pick and thumb together, giving it even more bite).
They're really the thunder in the east. I used to listen to their East Album all day and all night long when I was 15 in 1985. I'm totally proud of them as a Japanese metal guy. Cheers from Japan !
I saw them in a club in Syracuse NY, opening for Keel of all bands... I remember thinking that Akira was so friggin' good, he would be a Superstar if he was in an American band. The band was awesome and tight. They were highly entertaining. They had their Japanese road crew milling about. It was a fun time in music. I'm glad they're still around and rocking. RIP Munetaka Higuchi.
OMGI I was playing this on Spotify yesterday I was thinking "damn this really sounds like Balls to the Wall" I literally just thought this yesterday and then today I read your comment after looking up to see them today and how they must have changed. Look at the guitarist hiding*** behind thst dread-wig. LOL!!!!
Its great to see these same metal bands from my childhood still around rockin. I remember sitting in the back seat listening to this music and i told my dad i was thirsty, he handed me his beer and said just a sip. I was 7 lol. The 80s were so laid back and people were not sensitive cry babies like they are now in the new millennium.
One of my favorite songs from that era! Loudness rocks. Homie in the white Quiksilver tank top on the upper deck behind the stage was gettin’ jiggy with it. Rock on, Bro 😎
Unfortunately they were not that popular in the west. They are one of the titans of meta for sure and Akira is among the best meta guitarists. Check out In the mirror, Lost without your love, Ares Lament, Soldier of Fortune..masterpieces
Man back in the 90's I played in a bunch of bands and a Japanese punk band played this little club with us. They were so good they blew every one off the stage. Glad we went on before them. The energy of the songs was just top notch.
I am 58 now trying to learn play guitar,I’m sorry I don’t remember them or much of the 80s..but they sound Great 🙌🏼🎸. I’m watching old videos of them from that time…A lot hotter than Motley Crue,this guitar player sounds incredible 🙌🏼🎸
You found a hidden gem 💎 of a guitarist 🎸 I played Crazy Nights in my High School Battle of the Bands way back in the day. Keep practicing & rockin' on your guitar 👍🏻
My guitar gods/idols started with Randy Rhoads and then Akira Takasaki... before Yngwie became my ULTIMATE guitar god. But Akira? Yeah... he'll ALWAYS be right there. My 80s metal cover band used to play this song and "Let It Go" in our set list. Long live Loudness!!!
I'm used to the soberb excellency of the japanese instrumentists, but I just can't understand how powerful these singers can be! They kick asses a lot! F...ing awesome!
I saw the same tour in Madison, Wisconsin at the Dane County Coliseum. Loudness were tight as fuck and blew Motley Crue off the stage big time. One of the more memorable gigs I've seen in 40+ years of hard rock & heavy metal concerts. Hundreds of shows attended over the years in Minneapolis/St.Paul, Madison & Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois, Central Florida from 1985 - 1991 was the greatest stretch of metal gigs easily: local acts including Savatage, Crimson Glory, Nasty Savage, Roxx Gang, plus killer gigs by Nitro (O.F.R.: OutFuckingRageous tour), Trouble, Fates Warning, Ozzy at Orange County Civic Center(Ultimate Sin tour) with Queensryche opening, Metallica at Daytona Beach Ocean Center (And Justice For All tour), I could go on & on - late eighties in my mid-twenties and METAL RULED at the time most definitely!!!
Oh yeah - then moved cross country to Las Vegas for a three year stretch before coming back home to the Upper Midwest area. 1st Avenue & all the great Twin Cities clubs since coming back: Motorhead, Anthrax, Megadeth, Corrosion of Conformity (Deliverance tour - Christ was that one hell of a show...stood in line outdoors nearly 90 minutes in -20 degree weather then C.O.C. melted my face off! L7 at some dive bar downtown I can't even remember the name of but holy shit did those chicks jam!(Hungry For Stink tour..."Andre" fuck yeah! Lizzy Borden at the Fine Line was another killer gig. Quest club gave me shows by King Diamond, DIO, Doro Pesch/Warlock, W.A.S.P., Station 4 in St.Paul had Iced Earth + In Flames, Metal Church + Meliah Rage, Candlemass, Star Central Club in Minneapolis Overkill + Prong, Sonata Arctica...damn I could just keep grinding down memory lane...Rock Fest in Cadott twice - once with Judas Priest headlining the other with Megadeth headlining...other bands at those 3 day outdoor festivals included U.F.O., Twisted Sister, Y&T, Cinderella, Tesla, Firehouse, Full Moon Saloon in Mauston, Wisconsin: Blue Oyster Cult + Nazareth + April Wine, Quiet Riot with all 4 original members. 1970s arena shows in the Twin Cities between St. Paul Civic Center & Minneapolis Met Center included Ted Nugent, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, fucking ANGEL ( FANTASTIC gig) Steve Marriot & Humble Pie, Jethro Tull + Whitesnake, Judas Priest + Iron Maiden + AXE ( knock down drag out rock 'n' roll party in the street!) Christ I could literally go on & on. I've been very fortunate to see a shit-ton of fantastic hard rock & heavy metal bands over the years damn Covid-19 sure brought that to a screeching halt this year! I am definitely jonesing for some LIVE MUSIC DAMMIT!!!
@@michigunsanta8680 yeah for sure debut "Vices" is a great LP no doubt - "Heavy Metal Shuffle". AXE formed in the late 70s. Founding member Bobby Barth used to front a local band that played in the mid 70s called BABYFACE that used to play clubs around Wiaconsin/ Minnesota border area. AXE released their eponymous debut LP in 1979 followed in 1980 by my personal favorite "Living On The Edge". 2 years later their 3rd effort was their best selling & most popular release "Offering" which had the radio hit "Rock 'n' Roll Party In The Streets" which I mentioned. Also contained a great cover of the Montrose classic "I Got The Fire". They were supporting that LP when they opened that gig. Maiden was 1st US tour with Bruce Dickinson on vocals supporting "The Number Of The Beast" LP & Judas Priest topped the bill supporting "Screaming For Vengeance". My 2nd time out of 3 seeing JP -1 & only time seeing the other 2. AXE is more of a hard rock vibe than metal but I would recommend starting out with that 2nd LP - definitely their heaviest. Offering took a bit more of a commercial turn( hence the radio hit) then in 1983 their 4th LP "Nemesis" would be their last until resurfacing in 1996 with the aptly named "Five" LP which was a decent comeback effort, bur the late 70s/early 80s were definitely their heyday. Man I could talk about this stuff forever I'll stop before I get going on another jogged memory bank!
Saw Loudness, Stryper and TNT in Nashville with the To Hell With The Devil tour...Stryper headlined.Loudness dusted the stage. Man they kicked monster ass. They always sound great.

Eddie Van Halen was the Akira Takasaki of America
He's one my favorite guitarists!

この曲を飽きる自分がイメージできない。多分一生聴いてると思う。だって40年間聴いても飽きないんだもん。
Yo pienso igual que tú , es un tema clásico, que sonara por siempre 🤘🤘.
弾いてる本人たちが1番飽きてる
Simple and very underrated riff ... i think it's one of the greatest metal riffs of the 80's
Oh yeah it totally is
Such a mean riff. Even the way he particularly plays it makes it sound so aggressive (sounds like he kind of hits it with the side of his pick and thumb together, giving it even more bite).
one of the greatest riffs ever
Easily....still makes my hair stand up....takes you right to the 80s. So many great riffs were born
今もしっかり声が出ていてスゲ〜。全盛期とあまり変わらないんじゃないですか！？あらためてすげー
再結成後のニイチャンの頑張りはマジで凄いとしか言えない。
このライブは2014年だけど、今もなお一番バンドを引っ張ってるパワーの源はニイチャンだと思う。
LOUDNESSは我々の誇り😀
Most overlooked guitar player ever, Akira Takasaki is a beast
The guitar sound so delishious..
Akira still a monster after so many years.
Thanks for saying almost verbatim what I was thinking 🤘
ガキの頃から聞いてるけどラウドネス最高だよなぁ！この声！ギター！聞くと あぁ〜ってなるw
They're really the thunder in the east.
I used to listen to their East Album all day and all night long when I was 15 in 1985. I'm totally proud of them as a Japanese metal guy. Cheers from Japan !
I could've written this myself. We are the same age and everything.
Same age
Early records on import, so good,
Oyasuminasi, much respect to 🇯🇵 Japan my friend ! Cheers from 🍊 Florida!
Am 48 now and still head banging to their songs.

His voice still sounds good man 🤘 This riff reminds me of Balls to the Wall by Accept, another killer track 🔥💯

Yeah, such a Balls-rip off.
But, great track from a great band.🤘😍
Ingat waktu kelas 1 SMA th 1983,putar cassete tiap mau berangkat sekolah naik sepeda. Jadi semangat sambil berdendang dlm perjalanan 13 km. Hehe..
Its great to see these same metal bands from my childhood still around rockin.

Still gives me chills to hear them after all these years.
Gives me chills still. The good chills. Bought Loudness record when they came out and I still dig tthis great Metal band from Japan
I saw them open for AC/DC in 1986 in St Louis.
Dang after all these years and they still sound as they did back in the day! Real musicians can do this.
I still hear that Thunder in the East
One of my favorite songs from that era! Loudness rocks. Homie in the white Quiksilver tank top on the upper deck behind the stage was gettin’ jiggy with it. Rock on, Bro 😎
Reminds me of freshman year in high school!!! These guys still rock!!!
I had never heard of them in the 80s. I found them yesterday and I'm an instant fan
Unfortunately they were not that popular in the west. They are one of the titans of meta for sure and Akira is among the best meta guitarists. Check out In the mirror, Lost without your love, Ares Lament, Soldier of Fortune..masterpieces
Share them with everyone !!!! Let's make the world metal again !!!!
ますますカッコいい！！
Love it😀Always liked this band since the 80's... Real Musicians Who Still Rock😊
I remember hearing Loudness 1984 album, Disillusion on KMET in Los Angeles radio. That album rocks. Thunder in the East is good too.
🤘🎸🇯🇵
I saw them in 1984/85 @the Hollywood Palladium w/King Kobra & Queensrÿche was the headliner!
Love these guys!! Thunder still in the East!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
