Loudness
 

Does any one like this group or have you heard of them? They are a japanese rock group with some years on them . Chem them out you might like them

Or they were an awesome band.

They are...

they are still awesome even tho they have some years on them .Why do you say that MMM ? :vsign:

Well, they have just released a new studio album this year, so i would not speak about them in the past tense. :rolleyes:

Here's their latest music video:

Loudness - Metal Mad


Let's headbang tEh scorpion style! :D

yeah i guess you're Ex except some old songs are good but metal mad there is an awesome song :vsign:

Loudness is THE ultimate Japanese metal band! Akira Takasaki is a guitar god.
I've seen them live 5 times, 3 times in Japan and twice in the U.S. (SF and Berkeley, Calif.). They played small night clubs in the U.S. back then because it was their first U.S. tour. This was over 20 years ago. Both in SF and Berkeley, I was standing in the first row against the stage, only 2 feet from Takasaki!! It was an out-of-this-world experience! Their older stuff rocks!

Yeah, I've heard them, they're cool! :vsign:
I think I first heard them on VH1 classic

Simply put, THEY ARE AMAZING!

I understood they broke up. The last time I saw them they had a white lead singer, and although Akira Takasaki is a guitar god, their best years were behind them, in my opinion.

Well The guy singing in the metal mad video looks asian. After so many CD's you would think of a GH albums. MMM do you know any other old School bands?

Old School in what way?

say like 60's to 80's

How about Vow Wow if you mean older Japanese bands...

I am not old enough to be heavy into the 60s or 70s music, but some 80s favorites were X Japan, Rebecca, Princess Princess, Boowy, The Blue Hearts, T.M. Revolution...stuff like that.

Vow Wow was a good one, too!

yeah stuff like that some metal maybe and like early day rock :D

That is awesome MMM and Nagoyankee . some good older music seems better at times

wow the Bluehearts and rebbeca and Vow Wow they all sound good . Which songs is everyones favs?

For the Blue Hearts it's definately "Linda Linda" and probably "Train Train". Boowy is probably "B.Blue", "Only You", "No New York", "Marionette" (man, there are so many...)

some good memories there MMM?

Ha ha! Sure are!

That is cool man nothin like being able to think of good times . I think so far like hell and Heavy Chains are the main songs i like .the guitarist is one of the best i have heard.

YouTube - Loudness - End of earth both of these songs are good

T.M. - 80's?
