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
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!
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.
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. 🤘😎
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
4:28 Tells Akira his costume isnt gonna work because its too close to Nikki's Theatre outfit. Akira changes into a Shout At The Devil style costume instead. Gotta love Loudness!
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.)
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 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
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
Had to change his clothes! That is f**king hilarious! So by that time they had Motley Crue psyched out and intimidated before the show even started. I would love to see the live shows of both bands and see Loudness wipe them off the floor. Crue Butthurt.
I saw this tour as well...Vince was suckin, as usual...Loudness played a flawless set...I remember I couldn't take my eyes off Akira...he was only around 23 yrs old then...shredding his ass off...he was very different and original for those times
@@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.
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 .
5:58 "When I was in 3rd year of middle school, my teacher asked me want I wanted to do in my future. I said I want to be a rockstar and I want to perform at MSG. That's today."
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.
saw this show at another venue ($10.50, Tingley, Albuquerque NM), & Loudness blew away MC. I would pay to see Loudness before I would pay $200 for a MC ticket in 2020. Rock On Loudness! I need my daughter to translate from Japanese to English here! lol
Видеоклипы
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! 🇯🇵
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
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.
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。
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。
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
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.
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。
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
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.
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.
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
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。
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🥰
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！
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!
Rip Munetaka ❤️. We love Loudness in Italy 🇮🇹❤️🇯🇵
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☺️
These guys are legends in my book. "Thunder in the East " is an amazing album.
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！

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

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。
I loved loudness. I was 15 and just couldn't get enough of this group!
伝説、パイオニアです。すごい。
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 :(
I actually lived it. You’re not wrong

Love this band still and this was the magic year for metal
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??
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! 😄
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‼
To whomever shared this --- thank you thank you thank you -- piece of history right here!!!!
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
I was there!! Was a great show!! Wish I could go back in time!!
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.
Have always loved Loudness. What a great band. Props to Motley Crue for giving them the once in a lifetime opportunity.

当時はLOUDNESSアメリカ進出！とか雑誌で見て「でもアメリカじゃそんなに売れてないんじゃないの？」って思いながらそれでも必死にギターコピーしてライブで勝手に演奏してたけど、あとでこう言う映像見たりマーティフリードマン・ポールギルバートの話とか聞いたりすると本当に世界のメタルシーンに浸透してたって事が分かってラウドネスと旭日旗が更に大好きになった。
Classic... one of the greatest band in history...
Don't forget EZO!
I still blast “Thunder in the East” on the daily.
HEY HEY HEY
word
Such a great band -- musical chops and ambition + humility = best combination.🎌
I saw Loudness on the that tour in Toronto Canada a few weeks later. What a dream show!
Thunder in the East is one of the best albums to come out of the 80s.
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.

Terbaek chorr
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 !
Saw that tour. Loudness did blow Motley Crue off of the stage.
Grandi Loudness! ,li ascoltavo per la prima volta nel 1984/1985 con "Thunder in the East",avevo 16 anni.
I saw them when they opened for WASP, in late 80's. I also remember having their posters. They really rocked.
Such a talented band!!
1:50 "They are better than the Motley Crue", wow that 's the real metal heads! Hands down.
most people didn't realize this band would be a legend...
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.
4:28 Tells Akira his costume isnt gonna work because its too close to Nikki's Theatre outfit. Akira changes into a Shout At The Devil style costume instead. Gotta love Loudness!
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...
LOUDNESS UNO DE MIS MEJORES GRUPOS EN LA SECUNDARIA Q RECUERDOS GRACIAS X COMPARTIR ESTE VIDEO SALUDOS DESDE CDMX
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。

80年代で樋口氏のこのビジョンは凄い！。
視野が狭かったな〜、俺…。
ギター弾き故、高崎氏しか着目してなかったのが残念！。
さぁ〜、
過去に触れ、改めて未来をエキサイティングな物にして行こう！。
This is such CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!......thank you so much for posting........brings back amazing memories
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

Crue Butthurt.
wow! akira takasaki was one of my favorite guitarist. imagine holding out with the best metal bands of the time. great!!!
80's hair bands were great...where have all the good times gone?
Saw this tour in Dallas. Very good!.... Been a lifer ever since. 500 faces. 1000 eyes.
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 opened the show for loudness eight years ago what a great memory in my life
I saw this tour as well...Vince was suckin, as usual...Loudness played a flawless set...I remember I couldn't take my eyes off Akira...he was only around 23 yrs old then...shredding his ass off...he was very different and original for those times
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
@@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.
Badass band....I'll never forget them!!!
LONG LIVE LOUDNESS!!
LOUDNESS LEGENDS!!
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 .
LOUDNESS could blow most metal bands off the stage.Akira was just as good as Gary Moore, John Sykes or any of the great guitarists of the time.
Better
Loudness rules.i love this era esp opening for the mighty Crue
Wow. I was at this show. 14 yrs old. Good times. I miss my youth.
LOUDNESS最高！
The east legend....thanks loudness and JAPAN 🇯🇵🇯🇵
Love it!!!!!!!!
Long live Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!
☀️🐺🌙🐺
I was at this show! They put on a great show!
5:58 "When I was in 3rd year of middle school, my teacher asked me want I wanted to do in my future. I said I want to be a rockstar and I want to perform at MSG. That's today."
Saw them at L'amour's
They were phenomenal and they still are
This video is gold
I'm amazed at how many motly crue shirts are walking garoung
Seen these guys a couple time opening for Motley Crue....really good band...and yes they were loud....lol
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.
Loudness RULES!!! \m/
So does Akira Takasaki!
Saw them in the Los Ángeles Great Forum same year, same bill. They were amazing and blew the auditorium down!!
Saw them in Montreal opening for AC/DC in 1986. Best concert of my life!
まさに荒野を行く開拓者！ すごい！
WONDERFUL VIDEO 😌❤️
I love Munetaka Higuchi. He is Forever!!
Hell yeah Akira , no light beer. Light beer for women. 👍🤘🤘
Fantastic, so talented, blown away!👌🙂❤
saw this show at another venue ($10.50, Tingley, Albuquerque NM), & Loudness blew away MC. I would pay to see Loudness before I would pay $200 for a MC ticket in 2020. Rock On Loudness! I need my daughter to translate from Japanese to English here! lol
