[@stefanosalmaso1073]

I am studying the song for guitar and I am impressed by an incredible detail. Basically during the SOLO Akira COMPLETELY performs the first tapping part (no notes missed from original record) and than he take back the guitar pen, switch the pickup, move the hand on normal playing and he don’t miss any note at the fast “Malmsteen style” part. Look at the KZbin guitar cover videos... you will never find 1 person who performs all those staffs with this precision. Akira is a ROCK MONSTER

[@Cuzdcrow]

Fucking amazing band I agree

[@Ikiya69]

He missed a note at the tapping part, but still no human can do all those thing you said as crazy as Akira did.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Minoru Niihara did a great job on this song. Soldiers Of Fortune was the second album I ever got from Loudness back in 1990. I got it from Camelot Music store on cassette tape for $2, and I was around 12 years old. Hurricane Eyes was the first album I got from Loudness , and at most times it is my favorite album from them. Sometimes Soldiers Of Fortune is my favorite Loudness album ever. I eventually got the majority of their albums , and love them all also. Akira Takasaki is still an amazing guitar player.

[@princesssolace4337]

How bout Thunder In The East?

[@redemissarium]

Hurricane eyes always my loudness favorite album

[@Maddogg-hg5me]

This makes me think that firing Minoru was never necessary. The label thought that Loudness would do better with a native English-speaking frontman, though. Mike Vescera did a good job but Soldier Of Fortune and On The Prowl both tanked commercially. Still, I like the albums that they did with Mike and also with Masaki Yamada.

[@lenseye1354]

久しぶりにラウドネス。30年前にライブ見に行ってた血が騒ぎました。 なんか昔のモーターヘッド的な感じというか、ハーレーダビッドソンが似合う感じがします。

[@Savatage1964]

There are metal acts in my past that i just got tired of and some that I just never get tired of listening to. From the opening riff of "Rock n Roll Crazy Nights"... the very first thing i ever heard from them as they opened for Mötley Crüe on the Theater of Pain tour in Phoenix long ago (1985).... LOUDNESS just never gets old... and that includes their so- called "crap" albums with Vescera. As long as Akira is there this band will always be one of the best. You can compare Akira to Eddie or George Lynch but to me... he's in a class all by himself. Period.

[@angelskills9375]

I saw loudness opening for Stryper in 1986 in Chicago. I still remember. I'm glad to see them still rocking loud

[@epasternak4206]

To funny , I just left another comment about Stryper and loudness on another video, I always wondered if they toured together. Question answered. I love both bands.

Damn, Minoru has guts to perform the song that doesn't suit his voice on such level . And he did a fucking impressive job. What a singer. I am happy they still perform it sometimes. I hope they would include more songs from Masaki Yamada era as well, Slaughter House with Minoru on vocals sounds great.

Minoru has proven on the recent Loudness records that he can sing the heavier stuff so I could see him performing songs from the Yamada era as well. I wish they would because the self-titled album is a beast.
