[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

Blowing Motley Crue off the fucking stage is what they did every fucking night.

[@SteveBello]

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.

[@yusufabdulsamad9986]

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

[@Pey-Gang]

In japan and south east asian countries loudness are considered as Royalty.. the are called iron maiden of the east

[@GranTube]

@@Pey-Gangthey are also very big in Europe

[@user-tq4go4gc4j]

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。

[@ModernDayWarrior2112]

The metal scene was so big back in those days. It was such a fun time to be alive.

[@CelticSaint]

The 80's really were a metal decade. The best decade!

[@mottosierra1372]

The best years of my life

[@48sunshine78]

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！

[@redlabel69]

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

[@markneeley4288]

Couldn't agree more. Akira is right up there with Malmsteen and Randy. Just different styles altogether.

[@Hitoshi69Killer]

まだ活動している時にまたMSGのステージに帰ってきてほしいな。 今度は前座じゃなくて、メインとして立って欲しいな。 日本人初MSGに立ったのはLOUDNESSなのは変わりはない。日本の誇り🇯🇵バンド

[@PIROPIROOON]

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。

[@backzan]

前座なのにリムジンで会場入り!! 凄い待遇ですね

[@gmoney9068]

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.

[@mskz01210121]

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。

[@hendy4584]

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.

[@wewlew5403]

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

[@SpeccyHorace]

What a load of shit.

[@NoctemAeternusMusic]

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.

[@puertecitos6888]

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.

[@anemonaloco]

@@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.

[@yaspee.club.k]

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!

[@user-ty2fl6nq8w]

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☺️

[@user-qi7co2tw7e]

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

[@mdwayne741]

These guys are legends in my book. "Thunder in the East " is an amazing album.

[@channelremoved1917]

I loved loudness. I was 15 and just couldn't get enough of this group!

[@user-mq9gg6xj3w]

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

[@GIANFRANCOSINIJOHN]

Grandi Loudness! ,li ascoltavo per la prima volta nel 1984/1985 con "Thunder in the East",avevo 16 anni.

[@nettotourokuyou]

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. 🤘😎

[@georgekolotouros230]

Mario Murillo I'm with you. I miss the 80's.

[@SupaStah01]

Don't even have 8 strings bro, it's all made by a macbook now. Talentless

I used to love EZO as well, Fire Fire is a phenomenal album and song too. Long live Japanese rockers!!

[@j.reveille6815]

Motley stole Dr feelgood from the ezo song destroyer. Check it out when you get a chance. Very blatent rip.

[@9wild209]

Don’t forget Anthem they are one of the best Japanese band too .

[@Zullkrokus]

And EZO's Masaki Yamada was Loudness frontman from 92-00.

[@insidetheblackmusic]

Akira's like, "You don't want me to wear your Theatre of Pain outfit, I'll wear your Shout at the Devil outfit!"

[@sryburn641]

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.

[@scottperrin9655]

Have always loved Loudness. What a great band. Props to Motley Crue for giving them the once in a lifetime opportunity.

[@dennisrowe3860]

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!

[@breedhate68]

this is awesome, this was my first concert ever. .. Seems so long ago, which it was. i'm now in my late forties and still head banging except to thrash and death metal now

[@manjufrodo]

Such a great band -- musical chops and ambition + humility = best combination.🎌

[@MrNSFC]

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!!

[@hyultracolor]

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.

[@JohnDoe-nj3vj]

The best in the west, not even close.

[@inokiichiban]

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

[@alvarovasconcelos2036]

I opened the show for loudness eight years ago what a great memory in my life

[@MOHAMAD-bi5ig]

Classic... one of the greatest band in history...

[@ellerykaibetoney6911]

Don't forget EZO!

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.

[@mandalay71]

I was in 7th grade when this tour hit Philly. I didn’t get to go but couple of my friends went and next day they all said Loudness blew Motley Crew away!

[@kharistjeanskylar4607]

I agree...even loudness is bigger than MC in South East Asia.

[@antneyfatts665]

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

[@dijamaira1981]

I remember how I was so desperate searching for Never Again and 25 Days from Home from the karaoke songlist back when I was a lot younger..and I'm still am. That MC's manager asking Akira to change his clothes was bloody hilarious and stupid at the same time.. lol!

[@dragstar4407]

Awesome band!

[@paulburrows7908]

So does Akira Takasaki!

[@johnkeel2636]

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.

[@aryinc]

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.

Have you listened to their newest album...released about 6 months ago...still rocking hard minus a few original members.

@@scottwright388 loudness has a new one? I'll have to check into it

[@scottwright388]

@@shreddinjoe oh yeah....there's plenty if you haven't checked them out in awhile. I recommend the latest two, but also Biosphere...it's a departure from typical loudness, but I really like it...good earphones or earbuds are a must though.
