So, I just got back from a KMFDM concert and I can no longer hear.....

[Descartes]

Talk about an instance of acoustic indulgence. There were some KMFDM songs I liked, so a friend of mine and I decided to go. I think I understood a few words through all the screaming, but that may have just been the reverberation of my consciousness (or at that point, lack thereof).

I think about 80% of the people there were dressed like goths as well, so I was the only geek in the sandles and khakis. I guess I had the wrong idea about KMFDM...

Anyone actually *enjoy* these types of concerts?

 

[Slacker]

WHAT???????

 

[abaez]

It's much easier to enjoy the concert if you really like the band. I always take earplugs no matter what, some places are actually bearable volume wise, but going to a metal or whatever kmdfn is your asking for the highest volume and some damage, take some earplugs next time.

Heh.. back in the late '80s I saw Skinny Puppy play live at the Warfield in SF. I don't think I've ever felt more out of place, but I have to admit they were awesome in concert. I had dared a friend of mine to wear all white, and he did..

This was when their "Vivisect VI" album came out..

In 1984 I saw The band "X" at UCLA. We were about 6' away from a speaker that was about 25' high. My hearing was FVCK'D for about the next 6 months. Just wait until tomorrow when you can hear the ocean without putting a sea shell up to you ear.

Earplugs for me -- I've found out the hard way that I have very sensitive ears. My hearing was permanently damaged back in junior high, and I've accumulated more damage along the way. Tinnitus sucks!!!

that's why i wear ear plugs for large indoor concerts.

You are officially "old school". A friend of mine fondly recalls playing PacMan with Exene Cervenka in the hallway of the old 9:30 Club in DC.

And yes, earplugs are the way to go.
