Loudness...

Those guys are great, I really like the 'Soldier of Fortune' and 'Thunder in the East', what do you think about them?
I think they have a great guitarist too..!

Yeah, Loudness was a great band. I was a BIG fan of their early Japanese albums (Birthday Eve and Devil Soldier) . Unfortunatly these days they play shit sounding nu-metal. But for everyone that hasn't heard the 1980's Loudness, it's very worth to check out. They put out some 3 or 4 classic metal albums !!

Aww, you're kidding me! That sucks, and Hurricane Eyes is one of my favourite 80's Metal releases.

Wish I was kidding, but it's true...But don't let that get you away from their good stuff. It's worth checking out all their 80's stuff !!!!

"S.D.I." is the fucking song.

Soldier of Fortune is one of my fav albums period. The solos, songwriting, production, solos, singing, solos....hehe. Excellent album. Every song on it.

I really dig "Thunder in the East" Akira Takasaki could hang with any of the American/European guitarists back in the day. He was amazing.
