[DreamWarrior87]

I understand everything he sings and I am not japanese, the english is good enough. Those who pretend not to understand are either deaf or lying. idiots.

[moocheeseify]

@DreamWarrior87 or are being racist

[TheMarkster1957]

What ever became of this band?

[JRockGalaxy]

[sialllammiik]

[nazazuki]

loadness its a lagend in malaysia...;) cek my video..

[goddybob]

I mother fucking agree...saw the new footage and homeboy still has pipes rob halford style....i'm down 110%

[zzzthaoster]

Also back then people may find their lyrics and singing unappealing but now, it's actually very simple, unique and artistically creative.

[ratnaliliosman]

I like this song...Keep on rock'n....

[offgoyim]

Can't believe there were enough abortions in the world to allow poison to become as big as they were.... well then again maybe we should analyze who's procreating...

[motleycrue24]

thunder in the east was there best album imo 

[offgoyim]

In the top 3 all time Loudness songs if not first on the list... solid song throughout

[tujungite]

OH man so good. INCREDIBLE.

[cempaka211]

[Expl88]

poison is for fags

[shamirzazul]

abadiria-- do u have any video recently live in KL...wow u  are lucky ..loudness my fav in 80's ..

[DickLodge68]

Well this was Loudness' attempt to appease the American crowd. Singing in Engrish and the MTV videos. Fine...a few songs smoked on here like Heavy Chains. But as an American metal fan of the time, I'd rather have "Law of Devil's Land"!

[abadiria3]

GREAT PREFORMANCE LOUDNESS LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR !!!

[subzero3078]

first time i heard this song is at my uncle room with his mini hi fi back in year of 1991..my first heavy metal song that until now keep playing in my ears..

[TagsExtreme]

Loudness is at Singapore now!!! Too bad I'm gonna miss their concert tonight.... :( Who's got 80 damn dollars I'mma go get the tix now!!!

[BrazilianAikido]

[basskazhopatcong]

I saw them live at BB Kings on 6/1/11. Guitarist Akira Takasaki kissed ass despite his age! True Guitar Hero. Rock n' Roll is NOT dead yet!!!

[stojy161994]

@jojojr2 Poison does not suck dude, Loudness and Poison both ROCK!!! Dont hate

[MyPunk5]

ONE OF MY fav..song from loudness...........METAL TRUZ AMPE MAMPUZZZH....

[AsphyxGr]

This is the real metal shit. From the streets, not for the pussies :P

[113344567]

loudness is the best genere for rock

[MrNatapat]

LouDNesS is on tour! I am going to be there. \m/

[zzzthaoster]

does anybody agree with me, loudness music was ahead of it's time....now it sounds just right and even better than before.

[hankCchinaski]

@zzzthaoster I don't think they were really ahead of theirtime, but it was different- Dio had this vibe going- dont you tthink? But you can bet Mettalica listened to this record.. They wouldnt admit it probably, but listen to Metallica before this release and then listen to their work after this release.. So, if that is what you mean by ahead of their time- I understand what you are conveying, o my brother.

[zzzthaoster]

@hankCchinaski

what I meant by ahead of their time is their sound, not that they are a metal band. I also think most people particularly americans back then who find loudness music such as these songs akward and bit weird or unacceptable are probably like it now and accepting it. Because now people are also more open minded and accepting of things that are different and unique.

[RSMPanther]

@zzzthaoster yup they were well ahead of their time with so many bands of that time....I guess we who love this music sooo much were ahead of our time too...Unlike those now catchin up...

[choragirl]

Canción vuela rajas, me encanta por la chucha.

[reyno69]

love 80s era..



[markgannon5150]

Fng AWESOME! Loudness is Great ! I sold my LPs of Loudness. THANKS for keeping them ALIVE! I'm going to see em' in Dallas in May 2011 I wish I knew how to put them on U-TUBE before I sold my LP's cause I had them ALL even the one in Japanesse . THANKS! AKIRA ! Great Guitar Player ! GREAT !

[deedsie]

What, did someone try to compare Loudness to...Poison? "I will rip your balls off so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world!" -R. Lee Eremy.

[bass8008]

God, please help japan in this hard hour. loudness are damn good.

[pokerkingTJQKA]

dave mustaine isnt in dimes or akiras league , go listen to some gary moore and learn some feel, mustaine has very little.

[afiqmessi47]

wa ada cd ori wa masih simpan lagi.....

[MrShamsalleh]

lagu wajib! \m/

[snakekramer]

Sounds like the riff from blood of my enemies by manowar. Still an awesome song, and a kick ass album

[SlaughterMeister]

These guys are fucking AWESOME!

[azmanhuri]

loudness mmang bes la..

[Mickeyfaria]

this sounds like LOUDNESS !!!.............wtf?

[Roachenator]

this sounds like early queensryche, with a little bit of Flotsam n Jetsam, Iron Maiden and Manowar

[powerslaveiron49]

@Roachenator ur an idiot it sounds nothing like that it sounds like loudness thier an original

[GrizCC]

@powerslaveiron49

calm down.

[Roachenator]

this sounds like early queensryche

[WHITEHOUSE1600DC]

awesome , makes me want to cry

[SolusChristus924]

love these guys...remind me of an Asian Dokken.

[BubbleGumTaco]

@SolusChristus924: Do you mean "Dream Warriors" Dokken? No comparison. Loudness = Epic. Dokken = Fail.

[SolusChristus924]

@BubbleGumTaco - no, I don't mean dream warriors in particular...and two, I can't imagine anyway thinking Dokken "fails". Anyway, to each is own and thanks for the response. Peace my friend. Jay

[GuitarArmy95]

@BubbleGumTaco I'm sorry but I believe that Dokken was commercially more successful. Obviously doing something right. Granted they're not together and Dokken can't sing anymore, but by no means is Dokken a fail. And Loudness has a Maiden vibe anyway not like Dokken at all.

[BubbleGumTaco]

@GuitarArmy95 Whatever.

[PEDROCLASSIC]

hey kid go to your room put the headphones on and listen to it

[jimbang]

however underrated he is akira takasaki is still world class in the ranks of satriani,vai,Thunder in the east-he is the thunder wit his blazing tapping licks and melodic phrasing

[rezewrektion]

@jimbang only in japan he is he's got nothing on the amercan guitar slingers like mustain or dime

[ultimategoobah]

@rezewrektion dave mustaine of megadeth? if I were starting a band I'd take akira over dave in a heart beat. dime is more of a debate.

[powerslaveiron49]

@ultimategoobah no joke akira is a smoking guitar player def better then dave

[jimbang]

loudness is a kickass heavy metal band with guitar virtuoso akira takasaki

[Grizzlism]

@jimbang

Indeed.

[sixx3times]

I hear this song and I remember the time I seen them when they opened for Motley Crue on their Theater of Pain Tour '85. That was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ahhh good times.

[carpetburn23]

@sixx3times my dad saw them with motely crue same tour but in el paso

[gregorio118]

In 1985, my Loudness cassette melted on the dashboard of my Gremlin that was sittin' out in the sun in Bakersfield CA in July. I looked like a freakin' Dali painting.

Rock On, Jakkers!

[Dave102693]

This is why I love heavy metal...in the '80s, because it goes hard.

[idontbelieveok]

@Dave102693 i just dont think that was as great as you say it is... and there are probably many guitar players from his same time that are as underrated as he is, not really underrated, just not famous because the band they played with did not get to high mainstream popularity.

[Dave102693]

@idontbelieveok But why did you have to comment on my comment? Annoying much?

[Karmoon7]

Bands like Loudness have songs that become one of your favourite songs the first time you hear it.

They're truly amazing! After hearing this, I respect 'em as much as Maiden or X.

[intrsoul]

Akira is so good.  That intro solo is genius.

[DickLodge68]

@intrsoul Whew! I didn't like this album much but wow it certainly had it's moments!

[idontbelieveok]

@intrsoul ???

[intrsoul]

@idontbelieveok Akira Takasaki, the guitarist, is amazing . The solo at the beginning of the song is brilliant. Probably the most underrated guitarist of the '80's. Is that better?

[choragirl]

MASTER PIECE

[zzsql]

i used to rock to these guys in highschool, lol

and what's weird? I still know the lyrics after 20 years, ha ha!

good work gents!

[krazzzzzzi]

Brain stimulation at it's finest right here. This song always pumps me up. You cannot play this song loud enough!

[standtall67]

I saw these guys open for Crue on I think the Theatre of Pain tour. Loudness owned the night. What a high energy show they put on. Ahhhhh, those were the days.

[Swifttheslacker]

Good bands are good regardless of race you dumbasses

[0909cinderella92]

oh yeahh...copy from blood of my enemies..

[jesgabnik07]

LOUDNESS IS BAD AAAAASSSS!

Akira Takasaki is definitely one of the greatest guitarist alive! He is what you call a guitarist- guitarist!

Only bozos who don't know anyhthing about guitar playing or jealous would think otherwise (bunck of losers).

[jesgabnik07]

LOUDNESS is bad ass! Akira Takasaki was and still is a guitarist- guitarist. Only bozos who don't know shit about music would think otherwise.

You ask any guitar great, they won't diss him...Even Eddie (Van Halen) who was the guitar at the time gave him high high props!

[krazzzzzzi]

This song kicks a serious amount of ass. 

[zizan74]

lagu ni layan memang best... dari dulu ... yeh

[rickford75]

Poison are a bunch of faggots compared to these dudes, they are not worthy to lick the sweat off their japanese ballz ... LOL... ...you must have learned all you know about metal from guitar hero ... POISON, get the fuck outa here ...

[woody48319]

the greatest guitar player of our times......

[khalifahmaya1]

mesti best dengar lagu ni...

[AsphyxGr]

What a kickass song ...

[13MATTallica96]

That...

was...

AWESOME

[yellowraven8]

THE MAIN RIFF ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF THE SONG BATTLE HYMN BY ManOwaR

[metalskinstudios]

You gotta admit the hair, makeup and lace lingerie was pretty gay as well!!!!!!!!!

[WOWfranco1]

the best solo of akira takasaki and the song of this band ;)

[beva68]

@beatingu868 How can you compare Loudness with a gay band like Poison??? That's so absurd... Loudness is good heavy metal and I've been listened to it since 1983. Poison is not heavy metal. It is just a garbage rock band from the end of eighties (like many others, unfortunately...). You can compare it to Village People or whatever you want, but not with Loudness!!! In 1986 I saw Loudness opening for Saxon... It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen... They were even better than Saxon!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

@beva68 not really. it's all good. poison rocks too but loudness rocks the loudest...heavy metal rules 80s in your face

[metalskinstudios]

@beva68 Loudness has a much more diverse repertoire than Poison, however Poison made a lot of money with a few simple catchy riffs. As a songwriter, simplicity is key as it makes the end product more accessible to a larger audience. But for a musician, diversity allows you to showcase the extent of you talent. Loudness, however better at music, never reached the same size audience. Compare it to Cinderella, WASP, even Iron Maiden if you must. But the freakin' VIllage People? Come on, now! :-))

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@beatingu868 your a dumbass if you think poison is better than loudness.

[yellowraven8]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM LOUDNESS DYSTROYS POISON,,,

[takirah00]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM ahahaha poison is a joke

[kodiak1966]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM 80's were the best...this song kicked ass! A lot of people never heard of bands such as Loudness ,Riot etc..they missed out...I didn't lol

[beva68]

@beatingu868 I have seen many concerts during the last thirty years. The only band which had a such good sound as Loudness on stage was Queensrÿche. You can't compare people who are real musicians with a ridiculous circus like Poison...

and... please! there is a whole world outside the USA and Britain... Why Japanese would not be able to do great music??? :) Heavy Metal or any music style is not the property of any nation...

[metalhead158622]

@beatingu868 this band is atleast 3 times better than poison

[ShadowOfDeth1]

@beatingu868 fuck you japanese bands are way more unique all the american/.european bands almost sound identical to each other espacially the new wave bands

[TheAnglewitch]

@beatingu868 dude stfu listin to x japan thats the shit and guess what thats jap too

[beatingu868]

the greatest Loudness song EVER

[WOWfranco1]

高崎 晃 god

[Naz67]

the lead guitarist never, in my opinion, got the respect he deserved, that guy was a beast!

[MegaSamsol]

good music for all ........2 thumb up for loudness.yeahhh....rock on dudes!!!!!

[TQhorse]

I remember grabbing my guitar at 15 and only imagining in my wildest dreams to be able to play like that ....well, at 41, I still can't play like that...but I have hacked out my own style , and I'm just as happy...this was a great song..love that solo..nice buildup to it...

[MegaSamsol]

@TQhorse u still have time man u not 50 yet....rock on dudes!!!!!!

[SoulsAlight]

Now that is a Dive Bomb effect put perfectly into a song. (at the end of the solo)

[MrHangKebun]

loudness rules !!!! OTAI METALLLL

[joe10774]

80s metal at its best

[cheaptrick1]

The Shizzle

[takirah00]

cool!

[choragirl]

excelente... la wea es alucinante, la dura con pocas canciones siento esta weá, una sensación de placer, un calor en el pecho, heavy metal a la vena... la mejor droga locooo!

[brasileirorusso]

Loudness is very good, but, is there any Japanese heavy metal band, that sings in japanese？

[gunsnmotley87]

@brasileirorusso

HAHA that would be fuuckin EPIC xD if u find anything like that, please send it to me :)

[beatingu868]

@brasileirorusso hey man- Japs dont rock as hard as british aand american bands do- mabe its because you have tiny dicks- or itrs just the fact that you suck at every type of music.

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@beatingu868 Wow, you must not know anything about music (and/or racist) to make that statement! Let's see a British or American band play something on the level that some japanese bands do! Let's see Poison play anything half as good as a Loudness song!

[beatingu868]

@JaketheSnakeESP Poison? really?! EASY TASK!!! do you know how much bigger Poison was than Loudness? whether you like it or not...Loudness is a knockoff band that you discover through other knockoff bands that you discover through bands like Poison...so shut the fuck up.

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@beatingu868

LMFAO, Loudness is older than Poison!

Besides, I was talking about musical ability, not popularity.

If popularity was all that made a band good, than Justin Bieber is better than both bands., and we all know that's not true!

[beatingu868]

@JaketheSnakeESP it doesnt matter if Loudness is older than poison...loudness is badass...but poison just shoves a boot up loudness's ass. and why do you have to bring up that cheesedick bieber kid? he sucks ass.

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@beatingu868

Since Loudness is older than Poison, it isn't a "knockoff band".

If anything, Poison is a copy band for following the glam metal trend of the 80s and getting popular off of their looks as opposed to playing ability.

They can't play a solo for shit, and Bret Michaels has a limited vocal range.

Akira's solos in Loudness are brilliant, and Mike Viscera has incredible range.

I'm sorry but you should learn a thing or two about music before criticizing a band you know nothing about.

[beatingu868]

@JaketheSnakeESP ok you know shit about loudness...i know shit about poison- what im saying is that you discover bands like this these days through bands like poison. your the one who started the argument with poison anyway

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@beatingu868

Actually, I learned about this band through Marty Friedman of Megadeth.

He was on a Japanese TV show and he played the riff from Crazy Doctor;

I thought "that sounds pretty badass", so I decided to look up more of Loudness' songs.

I just mentioned Poison because they an American 80s band, and I don't particularly care for them.

[FLy1n6V]

@beatingu868 poison sucks, period.

[motleycrue24]

@beatingu868 poison blows bro there pretty much where just the major 80s chick music of the eighties congratulations you grew a vagina

[beva68]

@beatingu868 Do you play any music instrument?

[beatingu868]

@beva68 yes- guitar. why?

[beva68]

@beatingu868 Nice! :)

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@brasileirorusso

There are many, in fact some loudness songs (like crazy doctor) are in japanese. Also Versailles, X Japan, and some Galneryus songs are in japanese as well.

[brasileirorusso]

this music rocks!

it's just different the way japaneses sing in english, but, it stil rocs!

[a5180433]

intro decide this song going to be legend

[TheNewcomer1st]

[TheCauseOfWetPanties]

You be quite dont type anymore SHUT UP.

Everything you wrote was false I don't know where to begin so I'll just ask if you might want to play with each others skin flutes...You don't sound bright but you sound hot!

So are you interested?Please don't misunderstand me I am not gay but I might want to pack your fudge.

I am not gay I'm just asking.

[RandomSpewBros]

@redcoupebandit

Nice analysis of the song. My turn!

I unzipped my pants and took Mr. Ponynose out. He likes to be petted so I did, again and again and again...until he barfed up ropes of creamed corn (without the corn). He had a rough night last night. I made him go in and out of a dark, hairy, moist cave that smelled like chum-covered haggis set in the sun for 10 days. I'll take him for a walk in the park later. Onlookers don't care to see him but the fresh air will do him good. MOL!

[RUtripNcuz]

When I listened to this I suddenly got the urge to vomit. Not cuz I didn't like this song, but when I jumped up to start thrashin' my dinner started to resurface... it was this delicious hunk of haggis I found sitting out in the sun. Rock on Loudness!!

[Bridge1961]

Haha, although it ain't got shit to do with this vid, it is a real nice piece of poetry.

[Simpson654]

Run for your life, you are in heavy chains, with a heavy heart, get away, thunder like hell, so lonely...

heavy chains, heavy heart!
