[@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

[@cooperst765]

Let's not forget about Anthem. Those guys are just as amazing and incredible performers.

[@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.

[@mumu-ib5vk]

check out anthem, vow wow, and 44 magnum 👍✌️

[@即死ブライ]

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

[@あきよし-d1d]

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。。。

[@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.

[@backzan]

前座なのにリムジンで会場入り!! 凄い待遇ですね

[@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

[@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.

[@francis8062]

Rip Munetaka ❤️. We love Loudness in Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇯🇵

[@roymartin500]

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!

[@榎並ゆうじ]

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☺️

[@mfm6]

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

[@drumrooster]

True and don't leave out the local bars with live metal bands playin 4 hr shows..$5.00 to get it n drink :(

[@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.

[@太郎浦島-l6d]

めっちゃ音🙂‍↔️良いです！ カッコいい4人、ラウドネス❣️

[@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.

[@robertweedman8043]

Classic Loudness! What a time capsule captured for all of us to enjoy.

[@giannit2777]

I was there!! Was a great show!! Wish I could go back in time!!

[@wolfegang76]

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.

[@もややん-v6f]

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

[@Jaake-my2rq]

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.

[@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

[@はな-w9p]

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

[@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!

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.

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。

Loudness Delivered Quality high performance straight forward Heavy metal.Motley Crue were more about the image and hard rock and Glam fun party music in 1985. Motley Crue were very likeable with average skill levels that appealed to the masses. Loudness offered a much more exciting style of Heavier metal with better guitar work more suited to genuine metal heads.
