Akira must be considered one of ther top 3 metal guitarists off all time... when you mention George Lynch or Mary Freidman, you gotta give props to Akira-san... the man is a gift from God
MAN!! OH MAN!! Loudness made a KICK ASS comeback! beautiful! jsut beautiful! blends together 80's and modern metal together. This is something i have been waiting for. welcome the new age of Loudness! LOUDNESS RULES!!
riff of the year maybe? this year there has been awesome guitar riffs around...but as of now this takes the cake! awesome job by Loudness! and RIP Higuchi-San
Been listening to these guys since 1985 so I have much respect for the work they put in, but i still laugh every time i see the dreads, i cant help it lol.
Well Mduenisch, Akira and Munetaka started out in their teens playing (guitar and drums respectively) in a pop band called Lazy. anyway, Akira heard Eddie Van Halen back in late 70's and decided that was the type of music he wanted to play. Lazy did get back together in 2002 and made an awesome album called Earth Ark II. Loudness only wore makeup for the Thunder In The East record/video's back in 85. Akira is one of the best guitarists out there, and believe me< I listen to them all.
Their are 2 or 3 other songs on youtube from the new album that sound more like the 80's Loudness which I think are great ! And also their are some Loudness live in 2009 clips ( Crazy Night,crazy Doctor and more ) too which are amazing, They are playing the old songs just how they were played on the record, Not down tuned N slowish anymore - Search Loudness 2009 and you should find them. Personally though I love this song, Its very unique. Loudnes forever !!!!!! R.I.P Munetaka
Chugging on the E has always been Akira's style. He just has a more detuned sound now, but that has always been characteristic of how he plays. Basically, it is because Akira plays that busy that we have always loved him.
80's メタルという括りで捉えると、今のラウドネスはひどい物だろう。 しかし、ラウドネスはラウドネスである。ジャンルに関係なく、ラウドネスとしてみれば常に最高のROCKを演じ続けている! If you regard loudness as 80's metal band,you will feel tem bad. But loudness is always loudness. Be not occupied a category. Loudness always play the best rock!!!!
I like this song & MetalMad but still doesnt beat their older songs. the chugging on the e string sound seems to be on Every newer Loudness song. and minoru also using the same phrasing.
@Pumby0 I agree with you Akira does rip the only problem with that statement is the guitar players you named aren't really metal players... As far as smoking those guys I say no way
Tell me something...and before you do, know that I just recently got into this band, and they're fucking badass... But what I wanna know is, are they sort of sell-out-ish? I mean during hair metal days, they wore make up, and such, and during early-mid 90's looked very grunge-like. Now they are going with a heavy fucking balls-to-the-wall attitude it seems, and I wonder if they evolved their sound, or if they were basically inspired by all music around them.
Loudness sure has changed Old Loudness > Modern Loudness Well, that's my opinion anyways. Can't say I hate their new stuff, though, but it doesn't stand up to their classics
@doghousepiiman Yup, and that's why I lost interest in Metallica as well. Love their old stuff, but just like Loudness, the new releases just aren't that great
The best japan heavy metal band of all time.☝️🤟👍⚡✨
Greatest friggin' metal guitarist ever! Akira, you are THE man!
One of my favorite bands ever! I love LOUDNESS!!!
こんなのが、残っているとは。驚き👀‼️

もし、樋口さんが生きてたらどんなLoudnessになってたのかな😢
これカッコよすぎ
R.I.P. Mr. Munetaka Higuchi, the best rock drummer in the whole Asia.
Loves Loudness,loving them since the good old 80s
BTW, I saw them three times in 2006. Got to meet them, get autographs, etc.
It was really cool. Chicago, VA & NC. I'm a BIG fan!!
LOUDNESS 最高!
結構前はこの路線好きじゃなかったけど
バンドやるようになって若い人のバンド聞くようになってからはかっこよく聞こえる
今の若い人にとってのメタルはこういうのなんだと思う
80年代のまんまだったらマジで若い人聞いてくれなかったかも
1990年代にグランジオルタナブームがあったから路線変更しただけだと思うけどね
懐かしいDVDですね😃。この曲がひぐっつあんの生前にレコーディングされているのを使用したんですね❗ナイス👊😃💕
man, I love this! Loudness is immortal! Munetaka is immortal!
LOUDNESS FOREVER!!!

いつみても、ライブ感覚の動画見て、懐かしいかな?と思うほどです😃。
I love your style, Munetaka!
R.I.P.
この曲は、1音下げ❓️の6弦解放した曲ですね😃重低音の音ですよね😃ナイス😆👍✨
Been listening to these guys since 1985 so I have much respect for the work they put in, but i still laugh every time i see the dreads, i cant help it lol.
Great band. This is one heavy tune, AWESOME.
AWSOME!!! I love this band.They Kick Ass.
やっぱカッコイイ!
Hell yeah.....good stuff!! Akira is kickin it hardcore!!
Each band has to grow and experiment, be it good or bad; or the band would not exist. I personally Love all phases of Loudness.
They opened with this when i saw them in Santa Ana!
i feel ya im just 18 and was barely introduced to them by my dad when i was 16. haha. Loudness Forever!

Loudness is best from spiritual canoe forward, progressive metal!
やっぱり樋ぐっあんはカッコいいな・・・・・・(涙)
I usually don't like this music style, but I DO LIKE this band.
i love this song...takasaki rules"!

Can't believe this is the same Loudness that did Thunder in the East
Their new album, King of Pain, comes out in May.
まさに魂宗久遠!
I miss the old Loudness...
ナイス👊😃💕日章旗のギター🎸
Yes, but they went through a few lineup changes before reuniting.
this ROCKS.....
i finally got a copy of Metal Mad...now they have a new one coming out ? hopefully !

Nice !

If you regard loudness as 80's metal band,you will feel tem bad.
But loudness is always loudness.
Be not occupied a category.
Loudness always play the best rock!!!!
今のラウド好きやねん!
id have to agree with Masaki
Dude!!! LOUDNESS STILL KICKS ASS!! I just thought about them today and thought I would come on here and see whats up! What happened to Munetaka?
I like this song & MetalMad but still doesnt beat their older songs. the chugging on the e string sound seems to be on Every newer Loudness song. and minoru also using the same phrasing.
Holy Crap.. I tried to answer all of your questions, but had to do some serious editing for the 500 limit.. hope this helps. dw
今、出来ることを模索して行くだけです😃
DO IT
Aguante Loudness carajo!!!!!
They rule
you obviouslyy don't know Loudness if you think that was his style.
Listen to this lonely heart or Let it go.
Most fans dont like the new sound
@Pumby0 I agree with you Akira does rip the only problem with that statement is the guitar players you named aren't really metal players... As far as smoking those guys I say no way
nice Blackmorish lead fadiing out..
Tell me something...and before you do, know that I just recently got into this band, and they're fucking badass...
But what I wanna know is, are they sort of sell-out-ish?

Just wondering-- is there another drummer in te band yet?
Loudness sure has changed
Old Loudness > Modern Loudness
Well, that's my opinion anyways. Can't say I hate their new stuff, though, but it doesn't stand up to their classics
este grupo si mola
Why does they get heavier?
もっとナイス😆👍✨なロックするのでは❗前向きにとらえて生きたいですね😃
@doghousepiiman Yup, and that's why I lost interest in Metallica as well. Love their old stuff, but just like Loudness, the new releases just aren't that great
awesome うた ども ども
