@BandaStormwind Europe? You have to be kidding. Please tell me you're kidding. If not, you need to demand a refund from your drug dealer because you're having a bad trip brother. I can't even believe you would mention Europe in same sentence with Loudness and Iron Maiden.
@Pumby0 keep your eyes open for U.S. dates. they are being announced as i speak. they're coming to Springfield VA June 3rd. Springfield is right outside D.C. so they might be hitting NY around that time as well.
I am 28 yrs old now (2009)....1000% RESPECT to them LOUDNESS...1st time i listen to HEAVY CHAIN (not knowing they Japanese Band) i swear to God i though they were Americans. I remember the famouse logo, it was every where back in the 80's (still a little boy but i remember).
I always thought this song would fit right onto Number of the Beast! Killer guitar, awesome tone, great band. The singer - not my thing, but still a classic!
I saw Akira Takasaki playin with the local top musicians in Okinawa 8 Nov. They played Crazy Night, Crazy Doctor, MEtal Mad, Black Widow, and In the Mirror! Loudness is still active with the original members. However, Munetaka Higuchi, drummer is currently going thru surgery\recovery. Hope he gets well soon. Thanks and keep on Rockin
