LoudNess - Let It Go

[954cudaman]

To elaborate further-Lead singer Minouru Niihara was main attraction of this band. The Lead,Bass guitarists,&Drums were all World Class top notch-no dispute! But Minouru who sang in perfect english but with an Elmer Fudd like accent(You ow the herwoes townite-on Crazy Nights)was the world attraction for this band! He was the David Lee Roth of Japan! Also, Lead guitarist Akira Takaski challenged Eddie Van Halen to a guitar play-off(for publicity-both were equal). Eddie declined-it was pointless.

[954cudaman]

This band was fantastic & one of a kind! Last great MTV video of this band. After their next album, douchebag Producer Max Norman convinced the band to replace lead singer Minouru Niihara with a fully English speaking singer. BIG MISTAKE! Not only did Japanese fans desert the band but American fans did as well! The musical instrumental talents of all the other band members(Lead,Bass,&Drums)were all equal to any US or Euro Heavy Metal band but Niihara was the true reason for it`s world success!

[coronela83]

Great Band.

[pballaddict]

Enough of the hippity hop and rap crap already! And the shit they call rock today makes me want to fall asleep or find some ear plugs. The music from back in the day was and will always be the best!

[lemmy91]

Trés bon groupe ! le hard est arrivé au pays du soleil levant !!!! à garder dans sa collection !!!

[romeodus]

The lead singer looks like Lou Diamond Phillips! Great song :)

[wumpscut1]

always bought Loudness albums just to hear those Akira riffs- required

[wumpscut1]

even the mellower Loudness was still pretty tight

[scrawforditm1]

Awesome toone by a great band

[Imtherealsaturnsonic]

[Imtherealsaturnsonic]

Akira is a guitar god.

[siessen]

motley crue sucks so badly

[proxy69]

@siessen

I agree.

I do not know how Motley Crue sold a single record

They suck donkey balls

[Glockenheimer]

Great song.  One of my favorites from Loudness.

[davesouzamyspace]

[csaenz14]

[loudnessdaisuki]

I am a Japanese fan of loudness.

I thank for your having uploaded a good old video of loudness.

[Mahindria]

GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!­!!! the true METAL!!!!!!!!

[vomitkings12]

classic song!!!!!!!

[igicic]

Akira Rules!

[beardrums]

One of the most overlooked metal bands of all time. I seen them live in Cleveland last U.S. Tour (Thank God) and quite honestly one of the best shows I have ever seen live! M-Z-A all the way. I hope the end is not here for them loosing a member.

[Matrumlus123]

Saw these guys open up for Motley Crue in 1985 on the Theater of Pain tour. They were 10 times the musicians Motley ever were. Still have the 2 shirts I bought back then.

[adfrocker133]

motley crue invented the genre....

[Beavis2828]

@adfrocker133: Ever hear of the New York Dolls? Alice Cooper? What about KISS?? I love the Crue but you're comment isn't in the least bit correct.

[michelpaul1]

@adfrocker133 I'm with Beavis....ever hear of April Wine in the 70's and 80's and 90's....sorry Crue was not an innovative band. They grew metal but did not make it.

[motley4evr]

motley was never about being musicans(even though they are all great ones) they were about sex drugs and rock and roll.

[estadounidensegringo]

great song forever

[coldarkstare]

i remember these guys they was called ROUDNESS! (hehe!) all kinding aside they rocked back in the day and better than some still today!......rock on roudness!!!

[mykarelli]

Saw these guys live back in '87 or '88, they were awesome

[am2boni]

Yea, this song is totally awesome! I got turned on to this about a week ago and I've hooked!!!! Totally metal. I heard the drummer recently passed away. God Bless Loudness!!!!

[piloneman]

Oh, my god, I had on idea, man. I am so sorry that the drummer died. God rest his soul. But his legacy and music will live on.

AND LONG LIVE LOUDNESS:)

[RIOSBEAUTY]

Man, I had this Album on Vynal~Loudness Rock!!!

[TRAY69]

Yesterdays Music will always be better than todays ! 99% of the time !!!

[DonutDazzler]

@TRAY69 I don't know.... Today's music is better than a lot of the shit that was being put out in the '90's....

[RhythmicSurge]

@DonutDazzler This came out in the 80s

[DonutDazzler]

@RhythmicSurge Oh, I know..... I don't remember what comment I made earlier that would have implied otherwise.

[x2bnex2me]

Yeah yeah yeah, I'll take this over 99 Percent of the shit on the radio today.

[ApparitionZ]

Ditto here.

[stacykeiblerslovesla]

@x2bnex2me you must live in a country with some good radio stations. i'd take this over 100 percent of the shit they're playing on the radio here.

[pauliborracho]

awesome!!! great tune from an amazing band!!! thanks for the post! :)
