Listening to EVO and Loudness tonight. This one goes to 11.

EVO House of a Thousand Pleasures

Don't care much for the vocals, but the rest is superb. That guitarist is a rock god!

I saw Loudness open for AC/DC in the 80s...put on a good show.

I remember listening to them in the 80's. They defiant fit the hair metal mold. Awesome

I remember listening to loudness back in the day. A fun listen. Ear candy.

Not to sound like "that guy"...but it's EZO. I bought their first album on a whim back in the late 80's. Still love it.

Gene Simmons was one of the producers. I'd read somewhere that he heard them in Japan and brought them over to record. Prior to being EZO they were Flatbacker. They have some vids on yt as well.

One of these days I'm going to pick up Fire, Fire off of discogs.

Rick

More of speed metal, and don't even know if they are from Japan, but I loved Death Angel.

Their song "I'm bored" had one of the best guitar riffs ever.

Replies say there were Philopino/Latino. Way off Japan Hair Metal.

Sorry for thread drift. But awesome song!!! Singer sucks.

Death Angel is from the San Fran area.. I believe they are all of Philippine descent.

Loudness is a great band
