I got Tinnitus from a Melt Banana concert.

Torn Curtain · 04.23.2008, 05:51 PM

Joe Satriani (I was young

), it was so loud we felt like being behind a jet engine
More recently Mogwai (at one moment there was a guy with a loudness meter and we saw that the light was always in the red, I guess he was someone from the concert room who noticed that it was quite loud).

Bollocks_to_Pop · 04.23.2008, 05:53 PM

Dinosaur Jr. were the loudest band I've seen. I brought earplugs because I was warned about them. When I saw Jello Biafra and The Melvins though I didn't think of doing the same and my ears rang for three days afterwards.
