im not too big abt mike vescara being in Loudness, but the song 'Slap in the Face' on that self-titled ep. is 1 kick-*ss song, probably one of his best vocal delivery. and Akira reigned all over that song :twisted:

*of course if Minoru did his rendition, it would be killer. just like the remake of Soldier of Fortune, total meltdown.
