...Dinosaur Jr., at 328 Performance Hall, '96 or '97...not only was it the loudest bullshit I've ever made myself listen to, it was some of the worst excuses for music that these blistered ears have ever heard...we left after 30 minutes...ears rang for days thereafter... |

| I've been to a few ear-ringers. Carcass were pretty loud. I hav'nt been to a Manowar concert, but they got into the Guiness Book Of Records for the loudest ever live performance! |

Damn! That's my favorite metal band. Was it a good concert? Do you still listen to their stuff? I do...
Loudest concert I've been to by far, no question was Frank Black and the Catholics in 2003 i think @ starr hill in charlottesville, virginia... the room is not very big, maybe 200 people and they were loud enough for 1,000 and it was so fucking loud my ears were ringing for a week after... good show though
 ... guitar god potion
Innnnnnnnnnnstitutionalized!
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster were pretty damn loud when I saw them at Manchester Academy 3 last year. It's a really small venue and they rock pretty hard.

man, Mogwai has been bagged.
and i have to say pretty fairly too.
but i feel i need to respond just a bit.
They, as a band, used to feel that volume was an integral part of the live experience. they have since changed their opinions to realise it's not that important.
come on - they were young.
but i still feel that their songs are enhanced by being played at extreme volumes...now sure, many people would say that thats a sign of a weakness in their music - that it should need to be loud to enjoy, but thats just what it's all about.
their music has a certain level of 1-dimensionality to it, but thats what i and other fans love about it.
and surfer rosa - how were isis the other week?
i am incredibly jealous that i'll never see them again - and got my first old man gloom cd on the way too!

Good move with the Old Man Gloom, though I think you'd like Red Sparowes even more (yet another of their side projects).
ISIS were something else - I wasn't expecting to be so utterly blown away by them. Their sound just built and built - ended on one of their remixed Oceanic tracks and played a fair bit off of Panoptican (which I can't stop listening to) - can't remember what the encore was but I know it was so crushingly beautiful and heavy I was grinning like a lunatic and euphoric for days after seeing them. Probably the best show I've been to this year - bunch of guys next to me who'd seen them loads reckoned it was the best that they've ever seen them. Sound was spot on and their stage presence is apparently way way better. Jesu the support band were pretty damn loud (and specialised in those long tracks that you & Simon love - 40 min set of 3 or 4 songs, very much like the slow more melodic ISIS bits).
And don't be so sure you'll never see them again. I know they'd love to do an Aussie tour.
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. |

Oh I forgot, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead where pretty bloody loud too. They had two drummers though which I guess helps.
Coincidently, they have a track called Ode To Isis.
