For me off the top of my head, SY, Boredoms, Glenn Branca 100 guitars got insanely loud at one point, couldnt think straight after that one.

Yeah, I first saw them in Feb '98 in a similarly small venue in Derby, but from memory the Nottingham gig in '99 just after the untitled EP was the loudest. Oh, and Young Team was '97 - the anniversary package was delayed for some reason... |

you have seen HUM live, I can't beleive it. The loudest for me was (like everyone else) - Dinosaur Jr. I brought ear plugs and it was in a tiny hall with a pretty small concert P.A., still got destroyed. On another note, the QUIETEST show I've ever been too was Yo La Tengo at the beggining of April. It was a half-acoustic show, and the crowd was so quiet during 'Nowhere Near' that I could hear Georgia's finger nails silently tapping on the snare keeping the beat before any drums had kicked in... it was spine tingling. |

i totally saw soulfly in 2001, the best was when he played the old sepultura songs. i got hit in the chest with an elbow on the pit on that one and i had been up all night the night before because i went to a wedding with my then girlfriend. |
Swans in around '87. I honestly can't do justice to exactly how loud they actually were other than to say that MBV on the Loveless tour a few years later sounded like an 'MTV unplugged' session in comparison. My ears are still ringing some 20+ years later.
Electric Wizard aren't anywhere near as loud as the Swans were in those days, but they do manage to get this tone that virtually splits my brain in half. So, while they may not be the loudest, they're still one of the most sonically-painfull bands I've heard. |

I know that Dillinja and Lemon D toured their Valve sound system with a home made PA that supposedly had da massive spontaneously shitting itself whenever the Reese bass-lines started kicking in. Played at the right volume, Ed Rush's stuff can sound almost physical. |
Has dinosaur jr. been mentioned already?
|
I was thinking of mentioning them. Not the loudest i've heard, but certainly up there.

you know what? that's how melt-banana were, although they were very very loud, it had more to do with having this sound that filled every frequency and attacked the eardrums in all fronts. |
melt banana is just an extremly talented group of musicians, they maintain control over their sound no matter how loud and chaotic the songs get.
my favorite part of a melt banana show is when they do the "6 short songs" and they literally blast through 6 songs in less than 2 minutes. |

On the Dancehall tip, I saw Bounty Killa a fair few years ago, and while it wasn't loud in terms of 'by God I can't hear myself think', everything was ramped waaaaay up in the red and the clothes were as loud as the loudest thing. Very, very busy crowd. |
I once contemplated going to see Bounty Killer in a club in Clapton a few years back. Doubt I would've survived to tell the tale if I had. Proper moody following when he plays in da 'hood.
Were you cucking for a lady into BBC at the time, Glice? |
I'm just down with the dancehall is all. No-one to go with me these days, regrettably.
|
nadja was very loud, forgot about that one.
|
pan sonic
|
Boris.
Holy man, my ears. |
boris is excruciatingly loud when theyre BORIS, just average loud when theyre Boris.
laundry room squelchers was painful. |
Blood Brothers, curiously. I was standing right in front of the club's huge PA so that probably made it worse than it actually was. Every note they played felt like getting twatted over the head with a sledgehammer.

ted leo and the pharmacists
|
dino in paris a couple of years ago was hecticly loud
not that it came as a surprise |
mudhoney last month were thunderously loud.

was just about to post that myself, suprisingly loud, they weren't a band i would normally consider in that sense, but i do now |
mbv glasgow loudest gig i was ever at ,should have taken the ear plugs but didnt want to give in , the ringing in my ears went away in a day
|
^^^Good lad! :)
My second MBV experience was seeing them at the Forum on their "Loveless" tour - that was so loud on the high end it was almost painful. |

and from my bloody valentine. those fuckers certainly didn't help. very loud. so were boris. black rebel motorcycle club play fairly loud as well. |
I saw a second-rate death metal band back in the day, and they were really fucking loud. To the point of it all sounding like pure white noise. I can't remember their name, but those were days of loud concerts...Also I think the band wasn't that good.
I'm seeing Boris soon, so I'll see if they compare. |
dino jr were loud, bur defnatly not as loud as i thought. my ears rang a lit for the next day, but not nearly as much as when i saw eric copeland
|
I don't really remember.
Probably the one that made my ears ring for two days straight afterward, but I was standing right next to the speakers. Honestly, the loudest show I've been to probably sucked gigantic balls. I tend to get dragged to see super irritating bands. |

Bardo Pond blew their PA that night too. |

Was at that gig too, fantastically loud |
Times New Viking at Siren Festival this past weekend were by far the loudest band i've ever witnessed at an outdoor show.
|
times new viking was loud at pitchfork this weekend too, but were blown away by both boris and spiritualized as the hours passed by. i would say spiritualized was definitely the loudest gig i have been to next to jon spencer b lues explosion.
