Rest In Peace Munetaka Higuchi
-
Munetaka Higuchi (樋å�£ å®—å� Higuchi Munetaka?) (born December 24, 1958 in Nara, Japan - November 30, 2008) was the original drummer of the Japanese heavy metal band, Loudness.
From the very beginning he was considered as a young talent, many bands wanted Munetaka to play with them. That's why besides his own band, during his high school years Munetaka played in seven bands. But the talented drummer wasn't happy with this situation, he wanted to spend his time in only one band. That's when future bandmate Akira Takasaki came along and they formed Lazy.
When he and Akira got into hard rock and heavy metal, they formed Loudness in 1981. During his first stint with Loudness, he released his first solo album, Destruction, in 1983. He left Loudness in 1992 and not only he resumed his solo career in the late-1990's, he also got into side projects, including Sly, Bloodcircus, Rose of Rose, and the Rock 'n' Roll Standard Club Band.
