Too loud, walked off

SRV was mind bendingly loud. Just his backline. His rhythm section were having trouble making an impact through the FOH.

The very first gig I went to was at the music Machine ( now koko?) 

The lineup was Quartz (headlining ) , Girl ( second on the bill) ,and Praying mantis.!

Girl was awfully loud and not enjoyable at all !

 

The 2 loudest indoor gigs I’ve been to , Iron Maiden metal for muthas at the Lyceum ,and Manowar at Hammy O on the Blow Your speaker’s tour !

You had a feeling that Manowar did use All of the Marshall Stack ! A great gig though and we were near the back of the venue.

Regarding the Maiden gig , we managed to stay until halfway through the song of the second encore ! ( How many encores were there ?)

Many of us couldn’t take any more . This wasn’t helped by Mr Dianno asking the guy at the mixing desk to turn it up ! 
 

@police squad have you had band discussion yet? 

no, there will be no discussion.

There will be no indoor gigs (with me anyway)

no one cares

I'll do the outdoor gig on bank holiday monday and then I'm done

Many years ago (90s?) I went for a meal with a bunch of freinds. There were about 8 of us and we are all musicians. A couple of professionals, all of us gigging, and a few grade 8 players. 

 

A band turned up at the restaurant and we thought great, some background music. 

 

They proceeded to turn up to 11 and it was impossible to talk. We complained to the manager several times, it wasn't even advertised as a gig! 

 

To the point where the singer stopped the band and said "If we knew anything about music, we would know that it had to be loud."

 

If that happened nowadays, we would probably have just left the restaurant without finishing our meal or paying.

So you made it the 90's way and started a huge fight in the restaurant ?

And yet there are some here posting their pride of having a car with a popping, banging, burping exhaust note, or a motor-bike with an illegal, after-market, 'not for road use' exhaust 'silencer'. Superfluous noise, eh..? Sometimes, apparently, it's wanted, by some.
