LOUDNESS - 30TH Anniversary US Tour 2011 - San Antonio, Texas | May 28 7PM.
Japanese heavy metal veterans LOUDNESS have announced that they will be heading to the United States this May for a string of headlining shows in celebration of their thirtieth anniversary. facebook[dot]com/event[dot]php?eid=187612457948050
I usually do not care for the thrash metal but I was intrigued by low tuning and new drummer . I continue to come back to it to watch and listen. They have progressed from the 80's. I especially like the last part of this song because I didnt know when the end was coming and then it ends abruptly.
@cmzangetsu1993 That's the Killer KG-PRIME Red Flame LED Limited, so yeah it lights. The switch to turn it off/on is on the back of the guitar. Pretty expensive guitar, almost 9000 USD.
@notaname1234 i was there in Sunnyvale or San Jose this little club call Avalone May 10 and have some pic as for all his live guitars, yes they are all ESP with Akira custom... chat with these guys in backstage and with some pictures too, oh and some live video too, but i have a very slow internet so not sure if i will upload anytime soon.. they are on their way to La and all around major states around usa as i speak... great great show and you with these club its a up close with the band
Akira is my favorite guitarist & has been for 25 years. I was listening to Loudness when no one else ever heard of them in the US. Akira is a walking guitar string.
@rocknrollohioguy wow he is a unknown guitar god i'd have to agree his skills are amazing i just feel bad he doesn't get the credit he should be getting
kinda sounds like PANTERA

What guitar is that, doesn't look like an ESP, couldn't see the brand, with the flashing lights and quick cuts.
notaname1234 1 year ago
@notaname1234
It's a Killer, Akira's own brand. killer(dot)jp
ESP make some awesome Akira's models too, check ESP Japan website.

On a sidenote, I think Killer guitars is either owned by ESP guitars, or ESP is just the distributor.
