To quote the famous line: If it's too loud, then you're too old.

i have village voice earplugs. they're in a container on my key chain...

I always wear earplugs at shows. I'm a total pussy though.

Depends how loud it is. When I saw SY I was right up the front but I didn't think it was too loud. You could still hear all of us yelling "LEE!!!!" in between songs.

zeropumpkins, that's funny because i was also yelling "LEE!!!!" in between songs. but it's also funny that you mention lee because i think that he has suggested wearing earplugs. he's quoted in some article about hearing loss that somebody posted here a while ago...

I once described CRIME'S hate us or love us as if you were listening to a band thru a concrete wall,and that is cool.
Many of your more intelligent musicians for example Guy from Fugazi wear ear plugs,an old ex-always put a little tissue in her ear-for some reason I don't place on value judgements on her based on that.
People have always accused me of yelling ,when I'm only talking-so it does have it's adverse side effects-it's kind of funny, 'cos I'm sure it's all the time-people are probably like WTF is with that dude?

in my world hearing loss is sad. i wear earplugs to gigs, they are molded and don't cut any frequency response, they just attenuate by 18db they also cost $300au. i would rather lose my sight than my hearing but if you are too cool to have long term good hearing then so be it, just becuase people wear earplugs doesn't mean they are right wing conservative fucks you moron.........

haha amazing, but the plugs look like miniature dildos.
