Some more rumours on OzzFest this year

[JayKeeley]

Oh yeah, it's also about not losing your ear plugs in the dark.

 

[Dark One]

it's also all about....anonymously farting into a crowd of sweaty headbangers. "Silent but Violent".

 

[NAD]

I've been so bad about earplugs the last year or two, I need to start wearing them again. I even have a nice pair of Hearos so it's not like listening through a solid wall like those Orange Goin' Huntin' Plugs.

Ear plugs?

 

[Dev]

I lost mine yesterday , a fucker pushed me during a mellow song ; I did respond quite violently so it's ok

 

[JayKeeley]

Ear plugs?

Yeah, it really pays off otherwise you'll do some permanent damage in the long run. If I go to a show now and forget my ear plugs, I'll be deaf for 2 days. I only just started wearing plugs as well (since around '01), otherwise I was going commando for years.

 

[NAD]

Ear health is seriously overlooked in the music community. It has nothing to do with being a wimp or any of that shit, it has to do with not going completely deaf at 35. For years now I always spot where the big speakers are in venues and keep my distance (I generally like to be toward the back anyhow, depending on the show of course). Some venues could wreck your hearing in just an hour or two if you're too close. Scary stuff.

Oh and jamming near a drummer for more than 45 minutes without earplugs is quite hazardous.

 

[lizard]

you pups can take a lesson from me. I have some hearing degradation ref. certain frequencies, and I will never get it back.

 

[Dev]

I'll never attend to a gig without earplugs again , as I went to see Biffy Clyro with a friend (no I don't listen to them ..), nor I'll put the volume above 10 (for a maximum being 30) . The volume was just fucked up.. amazingly loud

 

[Reign in Acai]

I haven't noticed any hearing difficulties. And I have stood feet away from the blaring speakers. Guess i'm lucky.


Best Live Band - Death Angel. Absofuckinglootely! \m/

How many shows?
For how long?
How old are you?

'tis a delayed reaction....

 

[Ayeka]

I'm on AS's end, heh...never worn earplugs, happily stand in front of 5ft speakers, and next to the dtummer at practises...I have problems hearing things when there's background noise, but that's always been with me. I have an uncanny knack of hearing really quiet things which I'd rather not sometimes...

I should take care of my ears, but I can't be arsed.

A Dozen or so.
The duration of the show
23

I'll let ye know if my ears feel like mush after Into Eternity tmrw

 

[Demonspell]

Something here just doesn't compute, but if it was anyone other than Mustaine who would justify his new lineup by berating former bandmates, I'd be more shocked. And now he's bringing back their best lineup for a non-headlining gig? That I have a hard time believing...
