/r/Music

Quote from Ted Nugent I think. I get that bands play loud to cover up some of the chatter in the crowd but often bands play so loud my ear drums can't process and the music distorts. Even in small clubs, no name band rock so loud you see people hanging out toward the back to save their ears.

Was in New Orleans and a small 3 piece rock band was playing a small Bourbon Street bar. They were playing so loud the drummer and bass player had ear plugs in.

I have seens some live bands that instead of level 10 (if 10 was totally cranked), they play at 7 or 8 and it sounds so much better and pleasant to me. Maybe I am too old?
