The music sounds like SHIT if you have earplugs in. So much of the sound quality is drowned out.
Why can't the bands just play at lower volumes?
completely agree. although i understand if you use professional high grade plugs maybe it sounds better? to me with regular ear plugs it just sounds so muffled...too bassy.. you lose all the treble or highs...i hate it..
its just plain negligent for bands to play music too loud so it hurts people and takes away their hearing or gives them tinnitus for life...
if you're going to do that you should have to warn people before the show and give them free earplugs....good ones too!...honestly maybe even print it on the tickets in big red letters.. they sure tell us we can't take pictures or anything ..they have no problems putting signs about that or having a disclaimer about this or that..but when it comes to people's hearing NOTHING.
everyone is an inexperienced concertgoer at some point! not to mention alcohol is so often involved with people's concertgoing that people are not necessarily making the brightest decisions...
here lets put on a show for you, have bars everywhere and blow out the sound for you! you're welcome!
everytime you hear ringing in your ears the next day that ain't the weather report..its permanent hearing loss.. it might not mean that much to you now but i sure do believe its going to add up when you're older....
the soundmen should really be held liable....at the end of the day they are the ones..they can say they are following the orders
the worst are the amateurish bands where one prima donna wants to be heard over the rest.. so then the other schmoe is like "no , turn me up soundman!" and it goes on like that until by the end its insanely loud and distorted all around
