LOL! This was months ago. The fact that anyone would give a shit about this hokey hair metal band in this day and age cracks me up. Thanks for the laugh!
gpine dont be such a fuckin dick, dont be so intolerant. im sure theres lots of aspects of your music taste that wed all think are fuckin lame, such as your 70s hippie rock like zappa or some screamo bullshit. the fact is he is an awesome vocalist with an awesome range, akiri takasaki was a guitarist better than most worldwide, and loudness were a great heavy metal band. how about you extract that intolerant tampon outta your ass fucker. it looks like your the one who knows shit.
well lets see if you even went to the show you would see that all but the drummer shaved thier heads and they rock so go put your head back on some bon jovi and leave the true fans alone.
The guy could have NO hair, and more fucking warts and boils than LEMMY of 'Motorhead', and i'd still be a fan! Minoru Niihara can BELT OUT a tune with the best of any Metal vocalist, past or present!!!
Dude! It's bullshit 80s hair metal! The fact that your so into this shows what a musical shithead you are!! Try listening to some Frank Zappa! Oh.. sorry.. You probably can't deal with something that isn't in 4/4 time. What a dick. Take the tampon out of your ass and lighten up you fucking headbanging retard.

First of all, the only reason I got rude on anyones ass here is because I made a stupid little joke about the dudes hair, and everyone got all uptight like I had commited blasphemy, as if these guys are not to goofed on in anyway. If someone is that much into hero worship, they have problems. And I do like "some" headbanger music, as do like "some" of all kinds of music. Thanks for the understanding and kind words.
@qpine Frank zappa was a clown and his music totally sucks really bad I cant stand zappa omg his music is all a joke story johnny number5 robot tampax crap bunch of no sense at all and they say he was a genius ? Who the fk took that iq test ? are you kidding me Zappa is for retards.....
@1974nyarlathotep Speaking of retardation, wonderful use of punctuation and capitalization. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that English is your second language. Either way, hero worship is a pretty pathetic endeavor. I wrote this shit three years ago as a goof, and for three years I have been getting emails from head banging morons like yourself who obviously want to suck this nips cock so hard that it enrages you to see him being goofed on. Try getting some pussy loser.
and what a sweetheart he is, i love this guy, gee he looked super sexy in the 80's, loudness fan from new zealand

I've met Niihara couple of times, and he was really down to earth guy!
Loudness guys are all nice!
They love to drink Jack Daniels, and lots of beer!
Party animals!
Big respect to Loudness, they are the god of heavy metal!
