The loudness/Akira takasaki thread!

i dont think anything from the 80's can top the lead guitar playing on second heat. not cacophony, not yng. gilbert and bouillet took it wayyy up there.

back on topic:

Cody Harry is the fucking bomb. I'd rather listen to him over most popular shredders

Yup.. he became a jingle writer.
He does some fusion stuff from time to time, but nothing you ever hear of. :/
Greatest guitar player i have ever heard, hands down.. paul gilbert is fucking epic, but cody is unhuman.

I never got into Loudness, but I loved the '97 album "Free World" where their original drummer collaborated with Dio, Vai, Sheehan, Kotzen, Tabor, et al. Don't expect much shred from it, though, 80's style or otherwise.
