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.

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.

I still have slight tinnitus in my right ear, though.

i have pretty persistent tinnitus from loud amplifiers, loud headphones.

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.

fugazifan 07.20.2008 02:44 PM

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

EMMAh 07.20.2008 02:56 PM

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.

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.

dnorsen 07.21.2008 03:32 PM

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.
