Loudness... The most underrated rock band from Japan. I listen to them when I was 14...now at 50 I am still mesmerised by their spectacular skills and talent. AKIRA rocks... Lots of RESPECT and LOVE from the Island of Borneo
Akira was my 2nd guitar idol... between Randy Rhoads and Yngwie Malmsteeen. Yeah... that's how awesome he was/is. My 80s metal cover band used to play "Let It Go" and "Rock and Roll Crazy Nights". Akira will always hold a special place in my heart... to the very moment I breath my last breath. Thank you Akira... just like you did with thousands/millions of fans... you made a difference in my life and I will NEVER forget that!!! :D
After 911 everything changed in the world. The kids of today will never understand how free we were and how much fun we all had back then. The world today is nothing like it was in the 80's. Such an amazing time.
Yea, back when everyone was getting AIDS, dying from cocaine overdoses, women’s rights were still a joke and LGBT people had zero rights. Such an amazing time.
thats because you were young and now you're not. the music of today is at its worst and the kids are dopier than the ones from the 80's and before, thats for sure.
@@NoctemAeternusMusic even today people die from AIDS, cancer, there are more autistic children and women rights are still a joke. back in the '80s, there was still a venue where you could go make friends and release your stress, now tell me where all those good venues have gone. we are living in times of division where people have become more selfish and antisocial.
This was my first arena rock concert when Motley & Loudness came to San Diego Sports Arena in California. I was a Loudness fan the minute they took the stage. Nikki should've changed his outfit for Akira!
Man, I loved these guys. I think I played my thunder in the east album everyday for two years as a teen. I got to see them one time. I think it was Stryper, Hurricane, and Loudness.
I wish I had lived these era in my 20s. You guys had great music, great concerts, great vibe. All we have now is a bunch of hipsters playing 8 string guitars. I wish I could travel in time, I would stop in the 80s. 🤘😎
my god i think i know a few of those kids they were interviewing..brings back memories..Loudness were always good even before they were loudness. At MSG, too bad there wasn't subtitles when they spoke. Great to see them backstage before that show.
I had been following Loudness in Italy since 1987, it's a shame that today everyone has understood their immense value but at the time they were greatly underestimated
I sounded JUST LIKE these kids when asked about Loudness back in the day. I would have never imagined that there were so many of us who really understood this band and what they were bringing back then.
saw triumph mountain and loudness there and motley and loudness at allentown pa, i MUST SAY THEY KICKED ASS !!!!! AKIRA Is a great guitarist, they rocked !
I went to see motley crews theater of pain tour at the Sports Arena in Chula Vista California. I was a big motley Crue fan and had only seen one or two loudness videos on MTV. I didn’t know much about loudness but I was blown away with their guitarist and they’re singer. Loudness may be the only opening act that didn’t get totally booed after their performance. Lots of love for Motley Crue but loudness was definitely an awesome band. In fact I left that Motley Crue concert with a loudness T-shirt. LOL!
Whose grew up in 80s where many stunning rock band took place will experienced many genre of rock music. It's really memorable moments of young ages. Pa Bt Gajah.
Went to Loudness in concert in Singapore a couple of days ago. They were tight and Minoru was a killer! He nailed every song as if he was singing 30 years ago!!
The best mettle band of the Era to come from Japan. They were a work in progress and have a great story on Metal School I think.... 🤔 They still rock in 2024! Unbelievable ❤
殆どのメッセージが英語で書かれている（日本人以外が書いている）とは、日本人として誇り高いどころではない。高崎さんは、今でも The best guitarists ever リストの常連です。（英米の）Most of the messages are written in English and we should be more than proud! Akira Takasaki is always on the best guitarists ever lists in the States and UK. (I am a Japanese citizen.)
i saw loudness open up for night ranger, when loudness got off the stage people started leaving in big numbers. akira mops the floor with not only mick mars but also brad gillis and jeff watson of night ranger.
everybody inc the entire thrash scene where afraid of akira's skill on guitar. a humble little japanese man blowing all the "ego" out of these preserved players. at least those thrash dudes recognised loudness and did'nt pull the ego card. f..... motley crue is "average" at best.
When they played in New Jersey , While Akira was performing his guitar Solo , Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx peaped out of the side of the curtains to watch him play. We all saw them .

Wow this was my 1st concert ever. Loudness & Motley Crue- MSG NYC..14 years old!! Woo hoo!
Cool! Great memories! Hopefully someone will create a legitimate time machine b4 I die~ I wanna go back for at least a weekend!!!!
Deb Long Island saw them many times at the garden and even at Sundance in Bayshore miss this days
Me too. Saw Iron Maiden/Accept around same time.
Wow
lucky lady! 🇯🇵
MOTLEY CRUEは、LOUDNESSに、吹っ飛ばされるゼ👊その通りだゼ👍テクニックが全然違うゼ✨
この動画見たら、ヤッパリLOUDNESSが日本のハードロックの頂点てのが凄くわかる アメリカで凄く頑張ってたんだなあて。涙出そうになった 若かりしき樋口さん サイコー。

In japan and south east asian countries loudness are considered as Royalty.. the are called iron maiden of the east
@@Pey-Gangthey are also very big in Europe
Let's not forget about Anthem. Those guys are just as amazing and incredible performers.
Copied from ancient Indian rock
I saw Loudness open for Motley Crue in Detroit in 1985. It inspired me to buy "Thunder in the East" and I still listen to it to this day.
check out anthem, vow wow,
and 44 magnum 👍✌️
最前列に1人だけ居た日本人の男気よ
相当なファンなんだろうね
はっきり日本人とは断言は出来ないし、わからないけど、アジア系の人だったよね。
韓国かもしれないし中国かもしれない。日本、韓国、中国、台湾は同じだから、わからないけど、私も日本人かな～とは思った。
あ～こんなんだったんだね～
当時はスマホの無い時代。
情報量も少なく月一度の音楽雑誌で載ってたら写真みて読む程度。。。ワールドツアーをする日本人バンドは初めてだったんじゃないかな。。。
凄いな～と思った。。。
前座なのにリムジンで会場入り!!
凄い待遇ですね

Couldn't agree more. Akira is right up there with Malmsteen and Randy. Just different styles altogether.
The metal scene was so big back in those days. It was such a fun time to be alive.
The 80's really were a metal decade. The best decade!
The best years of my life
Akira is one of the top guitarist in the world. このコメントスゴいな。日本の宝や。
伝説、パイオニアです。すごい。
当時アメリカ進出の情報といえば雑誌の記事でしか知ることができなかった。30年以上たってしまったけど映像でみれて幸せ。

Yeah, it's bullshit. Nothing is different but everything has changed, just because america wanted some oil.
What a load of shit.

貴重な映像みられて凄く嬉しいし改めてLOUDNESSは凄いバンドだと嬉しく思いました🤩LOUDNESS最高です🥰
カッコイイバンドはたくさんいたけど、ここまでカッコ良さと上手さを兼ね備えたバンドはいなかった。
本当の意味のプロ集団。
This was my first arena rock concert when Motley & Loudness came to San Diego Sports Arena in California. I was a Loudness fan the minute they took the stage. Nikki should've changed his outfit for Akira!
Blowing Motley Crue off the fucking stage is what they did every fucking night.
By 1985, anyone could blow Crue off the stage. Sad that Loudness never got "big" in America. I still say they are a top-notch band.
These guys are legends in my book. "Thunder in the East " is an amazing album.
Rip Munetaka ❤️. We love Loudness in Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇯🇵
I loved loudness. I was 15 and just couldn't get enough of this group!
マジソンバッグ持ってラウドネス聴いていたあの時代にはもう戻れない
今見ても鳥肌立つくらいパワーがありますね。世界のラウドネスですね☺️
Classic Loudness! What a time capsule captured for all of us to enjoy.
ラルクやXがここの舞台に立って凄えって思ってたけどもっと前にLOUDNESSが立ってたのか…やべえバンドだな
比べ物にならん。
めっちゃ音🙂↔️良いです！
カッコいい4人、ラウドネス❣️
Man, I loved these guys. I think I played my thunder in the east album everyday for two years as a teen. I got to see them one time. I think it was Stryper, Hurricane, and Loudness.
Love this band still and this was the magic year for metal
I wish I had lived these era in my 20s.
You guys had great music, great concerts, great vibe.
All we have now is a bunch of hipsters playing 8 string guitars. I wish I could travel in time, I would stop in the 80s. 🤘😎
Mario Murillo I'm with you. I miss the 80's.
Don't even have 8 strings bro, it's all made by a macbook now. Talentless
True and don't leave out the local bars with live metal bands playin 4 hr shows..$5.00 to get it n drink :(
こんなんだったんだなぁ…当時はモトリー・クルーの前座やって、食いかけたみたいな文字情報だけ入ってきて、実際は分からなかったんだけど…本当だったんだなぁと実感。カッコいいっすなぁ！
my god i think i know a few of those kids they were interviewing..brings back memories..Loudness were always good even before they were loudness. At MSG, too bad there wasn't subtitles when they spoke. Great to see them backstage before that show.
To whomever shared this --- thank you thank you thank you -- piece of history right here!!!!
I was there!! Was a great show!! Wish I could go back in time!!
Have always loved Loudness. What a great band. Props to Motley Crue for giving them the once in a lifetime opportunity.

I used to love EZO as well, Fire Fire is a phenomenal album and song too. Long live Japanese rockers!!
Motley stole Dr feelgood from the ezo song destroyer. Check it out when you get a chance. Very blatent rip.
Don’t forget Anthem they are one of the best Japanese band too .
And EZO's Masaki Yamada was Loudness frontman from 92-00.
Such a great band -- musical chops and ambition + humility = best combination.🎌
FIRST CONCERT!!!!
Dane County Coliseum.
Madison. Wisconsin
I was a huge Motley Crue fan when I was a kid.
LOUDNESSやXが海外へ進出するには、とにかく英語をしっかり発音しないと！って時代。今となっては日本語でいいと思うよね。
だって日本人も何言ってんのかあまりわからずメタリカ聴くでしょ？
まぁ、時代だったから仕方ない。樋口さん、兄貴的存在ですね。20代でこの落ち着きはすごいです！
Classic... one of the greatest band in history...
Don't forget EZO!
I had been following Loudness in Italy since 1987, it's a shame that today everyone has understood their immense value but at the time they were greatly underestimated
I sounded JUST LIKE these kids when asked about Loudness back in the day. I would have never imagined that there were so many of us who really understood this band and what they were bringing back then.
I still blast “Thunder in the East” on the daily.
HEY HEY HEY
word
Such a talented band!!
saw triumph mountain and loudness there and motley and loudness at allentown pa, i MUST SAY THEY KICKED ASS !!!!! AKIRA Is a great guitarist, they rocked !
I saw Loudness on the that tour in Toronto Canada a few weeks later. What a dream show!
The east legend....thanks loudness and JAPAN 🇯🇵🇯🇵
Badass band....I'll never forget them!!!
LOUDNESS最高！

日本のファンとして、凄く凄く誇らしい事です👍
LONG LIVE LOUDNESS!!
2:31 「チョー想定外だったし」って訳した人天才
訳すのも、やはり人を見るんでしょうね(笑)
当時のラウドネスもそうだし、令和の時代で言うとWWEの中邑等も、海外での評価の高さは日本よりも高い。未だにラウドネスを越える日本人アーティストは世界に出現していないですね、MSG素晴らしい
LOUDNESS UNO DE MIS MEJORES GRUPOS EN LA SECUNDARIA Q RECUERDOS GRACIAS X COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO SALUDOS DESDE CDMX

Terbaek chorr
Grandi Loudness! ,li ascoltavo per la prima volta nel 1984/1985 con "Thunder in the East",avevo 16 anni.
Went to Loudness in concert in Singapore a couple of days ago. They were tight and Minoru was a killer! He nailed every song as if he was singing 30 years ago!!
I opened the show for loudness eight years ago what a great memory in my life
loudness have achieved their success. Great band. they are the best metal band not only in japan, also in the west. 80s was their prime to hit US.
The best in the west, not even close.
Wow. I was at this show. 14 yrs old. Good times. I miss my youth.
The best japan heavy metal band of all time "LOUDNESS".⚡✨🌠☝🏻🤘🏼👍🏽🌟
I saw them when they opened for WASP, in late 80's. I also remember having their posters. They really rocked.
Saw them in Montreal opening for AC/DC in 1986. Best concert of my life!
Definitely..!
高崎さんへ、貴方のおかげで、ESPが、一躍有名に成ったと言って過言では、ないでしょう‼ラウドネス‼最高😃⤴️⤴️どうぞ、永遠に‼
金髪ネェちゃんのコメントが凄いですね〜。翻訳された方のセンス抜群です。やはり本当に本当に凄いものは国境を越えますね。この時の高崎さんは全てが研ぎ澄まされていてザ• ギターヒーロー！という感じ
Wont to fukeen wok an woll??
most people didn't realize this band would be a legend...
Akira's like, "You don't want me to wear your Theatre of Pain outfit, I'll wear your Shout at the Devil outfit!"
HA HA HA , You nailed it ......... !!!!
Well said !
Lmao!!!!
Looks that kill! 😄
Thunder in the East is one of the best albums to come out of the 80s.
This is such CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!......thank you so much for posting........brings back amazing memories
LOUDNESS LEGENDS!!
Saw this tour in Dallas. Very good!.... Been a lifer ever since. 500 faces. 1000 eyes.
Yep. They were excellent.
LOUDNESS RULES
wow! akira takasaki was one of my favorite guitarist. imagine holding out with the best metal bands of the time. great!!!
I was at that msg show and its damn true: loudness blew motley crue off the stage!
Saw them at L'amour's
They were phenomenal and they still are
The best mettle band of the Era to come from Japan. They were a work in progress and have a great story on Metal School I think.... 🤔 They still rock in 2024! Unbelievable ❤
樋口さん若いのに威風堂々たる佇まいカッコイイですm(__)mrest in peace...
すごい、カッコイイよ～♥
Saw Loudness...here in L.A. County California early 80s opening for Steeler at the Country Club in Reseda
9/11 2019 Missing this New York and 1985 today.
T Moody why do you yanks go on and on about 9 11 move on for fuck sake
T Moody but america bombing japan in 1940's
So, lets move on tho
I can say the same about my former Boston
I saw them with AC/DC in 86. However, I saw Crue at Summer Jam 85. Aug 3rd 1985. With Krokus, Accept and Y&T. I still have t-shirt and stub
I was at this show! They put on a great show!
Loudness RULES!!! \m/
So does Akira Takasaki!
Akira.. Great
Seen these guys a couple time opening for Motley Crue....really good band...and yes they were loud....lol
凄いことよ、これは
Fantastic, so talented, blown away!👌🙂❤
Loudness rules.i love this era esp opening for the mighty Crue
Great band, Loudness!!! I miss the 80s!!!
自分の若い当時はヘビメタなんて全くと言っていい程聴いてなかったがラウドネスが、あのマジソンスクエアに出てこんな凄い事になってたとは知らなくて驚きです。
モトリークルーの前座をやって、衣装が被ったくらいでケチを付けられたのが面白いエピソードですね。楽屋でのやり取りも本人は(ノープロブレム)でナイスでした。
ファンのインタビューでも熱狂的でモトリークルーを完全に喰ってますね。
殆どのメッセージが英語で書かれている（日本人以外が書いている）とは、日本人として誇り高いどころではない。高崎さんは、今でも The best guitarists ever リストの常連です。（英米の）Most of the messages are written in English and we should be more than proud! Akira Takasaki is always on the best guitarists ever lists in the States and UK. (I am a Japanese citizen.)
バンドでコピーをした時友人達から初めてラウドネスのCDを借りた時は、レイジーを知ってただけに驚きました！良い思い出です😊
Their sound and Akira's guitar tone do crunchy and punchy. Amazing
Loudnessが結成される前からバンドやってるけど、やっぱり彼らは日本の誇りであり、No.1バンド。
i saw loudness open up for night ranger, when loudness got off the stage people started leaving in big numbers. akira mops the floor with not only mick mars but also brad gillis and jeff watson of night ranger.
everybody inc the entire thrash scene where afraid of akira's skill on guitar. a humble little japanese man blowing all the "ego" out of these preserved players. at least those thrash dudes recognised loudness and did'nt pull the ego card. f..... motley crue is "average" at best.
Love it!!!!!!!!
Long live Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!
☀️🐺🌙🐺
Saw them in 2006 in West Hollywood, they killed it!
I love Munetaka Higuchi. He is Forever!!
This video is gold
I'm amazed at how many motly crue shirts are walking garoung
When they played in New Jersey , While Akira was performing his guitar Solo , Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx peaped out of the side of the curtains to watch him play. We all saw them .
80's hair bands were great...where have all the good times gone?
