Loudness is a good band, but they were in rush..maybe.

"If you ever heard the album LIVE-LOUD-ALIVE, you know the loudness (with the vocalist Minoru Nihara) was one of the best Heavy Metal Bands around the world in 80's. They are still playing very well in this album 8186 LIVE, but it make me think that they must've been in hurry to make this live album. After the success of their first album for the world market THUNDER IN THE EAST, they maybe wanted to make more success on the next album LIGHTNING STRIKES. They probably wanted advertise for that. 8186 LIVE contains most songs from the LIGHTNING STRIKES even though they have more of much better songs from their previous albums. And, Minoru Nihara is getting tired at the end of the track, and Akira Takasaki put unnecessary classical music notes on the his own guitar solo time. However they are one of the most skillful members. This is a enjoyable album, somehow.."
