I saw Loudness on their very first gig in America in Houston 1985 at the amp theater with Keel and Helix. Loudness blew them all away! I still listen to them....
Was just listening to 'Thunder In The East' and 'Lightning Strikes' recently. Incredible metal with bombastic, killer guitar work! He was one of the all time best metal players for sure.
Hey chris you shoulda used esp on your last album.lol...he always has that to sa about each of the 10 companys he been with...next it will be prolly bc rich.
Coming from this guy, that's horrible!!!! Is he high or drunk ??? or has he lost all his chops ???. Has he become deaf to not hear that he is playing is garbage ?? It reminds me of a all these beginners in guitar stores who when they try a new guitar play off and use the vibrato constantly because they don't know what else to do.
I suspect he was very very drunk. There's another video of him playing at the seymour duncan booth at the same namm show, just noodling around and he rips. I'm a big fan of Akira Takasaki and Loudness but.. yeah, this was pretty bad.

What a treat to see him play up close. I have seen him play only in the big venues like Budokan, Yoyogi Olympic pool, etc.
Cheers akira, you're the best !!!

AWESOME AKIRA!
#Legend 🤘
makes you wonder if dime bag was influenced by him-- This guy IS AWESOME but because a japanese band never got the credit LOUDNESS !!
Akira is the most underrated guitarist ever! Definitely in the same class with Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads! Akira Rocks!! 🤘🏻
As I listen more and more to him I swear I hear hints of EVH.
@@rebelfrog3 it would make sense since they're of the same era. I also hear a lot of Akira in Paul Gilbert.
"I just dated myself"
Bro its so worth it to be old now to have been young then.
When Loudness came out, Jaws hit the floor! we were like. "who the hell are these guys and why are they so badass?"
A Guitar God.
Legenda guitar heavy man
What's the long delay only wet side?
