Headbanging and earplugs

[Jozxyqk]

How can I get earplugs to stay in while I headbang I had one fall out half way through a song at rehersal last week and man did it hurt. Anyone have any handy hints? (And dont say stick them in further )

Try using cotton wool, as thats what metallica use when they play live (I know they are crap now, but they still rule live!)

You can get this fancy mouldable earplug stuff and it's actually more effective than those spongy ones. I think you can get it from the chemist, and it comes in a little block about an inch square by 1/2 inch high (about 2.5 cm x 1 cm for you metric lovers out there)

It may be a little more expensive than the regular ones, but it's reusable (as long you you've got relatively clean ears I s'pose And as long as you don't share your box with your mates : puke : )

I think it's used by swimmers, so they stay in pretty well. Although why you'd headbang while you're swimming I don't know....

You might have one of those radios that can go in the shower (and thus also presumably the pool) and get a little worked up. Probably handy if you are doing the butterfly, you know, what with the up and down motion of the headular part of the body

Hmm...interesting...it would be particularly effective if you got one those double kick super fast songs happening. Thorpey wouldn't stand a chance. Or Klimmy. Or which ever one swims butterfly. The other one could get one of those fist - pumping anthems going.

Maybe now Talbot's retired you should offer your services to Australian Swimming Coaching Spawny. With your innovative training techniques you could be the Kevin Sheedy of Australian Swimming. (He coaches Essendon. AFL. You know, big grand final this weekend and all. The NATIONAL game, not that bum sniffing stuff you got in those "northern" states (and just shut up about the Storm, OK) ahh forget about it...)

At Spawnys Swimming School tm there are mines in the water and crocodiles on the bottom of the pool. I dont have time for wimps

(guarantee not actually a guarantee, Coach Spawn takes no responsibility for any deaths caused by mine apparatus or crocodilian ingestion)

Hey, I was just thinking, how GOOD would the name "Crocodilian Ingestion" be for a band??? Methinks I have the name for my future world famous band now, how can I fail with that name?

Well i've never really had that problem of ear plugs falling out and i buy the cheapy peach/skin coloured spongey ones

how do ui put em in....your supposed to mold em so there really think and then stick/hold them in your ear til they fat up again...now unless you've got really big ear holes that should be fairly tight

 

[Southy]

big earholes ...sorry im immature but that is funny to me

dont use anything go deaf its the cheapest option..the one i went for anyhow....you can be selectivly ignorant
