I can't stress how loud they were.During the first song, I felt physically sick!The best place to hear the gig was outside the venue!They were truly rocking and played a total wish list of songs.

Lemonade Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've never seen them, but I would like to, my ears can take it. The loudest gig I've ever been at was that shite indie band that supported The Whip at the Tunnels a couple of months ago. It's like they thought that by being really loud everyone would think they are really cool and not notice they are ding. Fucking ridiculous. I was right at the back of the venue and I couldn't hear a word my mates were saying, it was actually painful. The Whip played at a fine volume. I was down the front for them and I could hear my mates talking shite fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steven Dedalus Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Worst thing is...I need my ears for work. I work in the radio. I had to go and interview Ballet dancers, and Craig from the Hold Steady, and I'm not sure what any of them were saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris h Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I went to see Dinosaur Jr two years ago in Edinburgh (been to see them about five times in total). The noise level was insane. I remember when the solo to the first song kicked in it felt as if my teeth and my spinal chord were rattling around and my ears were bleeding. I had to rush to the back of the room to escape, and remained there for the rest of the set. I love Dinosaur jr, but I did feel that was slightly over the top.

all_his_engines Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I tend to wear earplugs to any gig that I know is going to be vaguely loud, and I usually take them with me anyway just in case.It might well be seen as "wimpish", but I'd rather be able to hear the following day (and indeed in 30 years' time) than be perceived as "hard". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
