Too loud, walked off

[Stub Mandrel]

The only  name band* I walked out on was Black Star Riders.

 

What's the point of bringing back Ricky Warwick if the sound's too loud and so bad that what he's playing is indecipherable. 

 

I don't count Cornershop in their ramdom feedback era.

Black Sabbath, Hammersmith Odeon around 1977 IIRC.

Gut wrenchingly loud ( and also the worst rabble I’ve ever heard - sorry Ozzy ).

We lasted about 3 ‘songs’ before leaving. My hearing was still affected for a couple

of weeks afterwards. 

 

The Count Bishops at Dingwalls in London, late 70’s. Large banks of stacked Bose 802

cabinets for PA, and again my ears were assaulted by the harshness as well as volume.

Moved to the back of the room, just as bad so had to leave.

Can I cut this off a the pass, before it decends into another 'sound engineers are rubbish' thread. 

It's about amps/guitarists being too loud on stage and the fact PoliceSquad did the heroes thing, and walked off

A very good point there, in pubs & smaller venues with no FOH it’s only band members (and more often than not the lead gtr) to blame.
