I like Metal Magic by Pantera. Those first two albums are pretty cool. Power Metal sucks though.

Sorry to hear about you getting ripped off, I'm yet to be burned by someone on Ebay luckily.

He refunded me 15 dollars after I opened my claim. I took it because I didn't think I was going to get any more money back. That and it probably covered his cost of materials + shipping so whatever.

cold--->congestion--->tinnitus spike. FUUUUCCCKKK!

My tinnitus gets bad the minute I hit my ride cymbal without earplugs. It sucks. I need some better earplugs too..

is there anyone here who *doesn't* have tinnitus (except me)? it's like the GMD equivalent of AIDS at this point

 

[CiG]

I don't have it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i suspect i haven't been to as many gigs as a lot of people here and for once i feel pretty good about that heh

 

[Vilden]

I don't have it even tho I've been to lots of gigs without earplugs and worked in alot of high volume enviornments.

It's all thanks to my superior white aryan genes.

i know slayed necros, pompey and satanstoenail all have it, they must have some jewish heritage.

Nope, still good. I can still hear up to 17-18Khz as well, which is good enough for me.

This is why investing in a $20+ pair of quality earplugs is a smart choice. I have a pair of the Etymotic plugs and have been religiously wearing them to gigs for years now. I was actually surprised to find that I can hear more nuance in the instruments and tones when I put them in, so surprisingly the gig sounds better with plugs in. Im not even slightly fatigued after a full festival day of music now. Those cheap foamies make you just want to take them out so you can hear what song they are playing, which just sucks.

Seeing Exodus and Testament without plugs was fucking torture, and I have never been to a gig without plugs since that horrid experience.

I am part Jewish and have very mild tinnitus, only noticeable when I'm laying down and the room is quiet though. Falling asleep with the TV on helps.

This same show caused me to buy earplugs for shows after this. Testament was loud as fuck and my ears rang for two days.

Consider yourself lucky. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies. No one in my family has or has even heard of this affliction. And mines didnt come form hearing damage ... I dont go to shows anymore and i've never blasted music at a level where i've hurt my ears.

I have no tinnitus but I have lost some hearing due to time in the Marines.

[Satanstoenail]

Was supposed to go to a metal gig last night but my mate bailed at the last minute so I sat about drinking wine all night by myself and now I'm hungover as fuck without a good night to make it all worth it.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Uuuugh fucking GUNNERS are in Australia for their reunion tour atm and every cunt seems to be acting like they are totally sentimentally attached to this shitstain on the underpants of bogan rock. My fb feed is full of people sharing gig photos and articles. Why has everyone seemingly forgotten that they suck and Axl is an überdouche that sounds like a cat being strangled just because they got back together? This reunion phenomenon is bollocks.
Look at this fucking cunt

FUCKN GUNNAZ MATE LOVE EM

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, I mean what's your band done recently amirite?!

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah, I mean what's your band done recently amirite?!

My band have retired with quiet dignity and are busy being a bunch of jaded old cunts as it should be.

 

[CiG]

That faggot did vocals for ACDC too, so it probably ties in with how bogan twats are pissing their panties over G'N'R.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Still congested as fuck. To a point where i'm barely getting any sleep. I think i might have a sinus infection or nasal polyps or some bullshit. fuck. me.

 

[Krow]

Was stepping up on my porch and looked away talking to my wife and kicked my porch like an idiot. Busted my fucking toenail

Can't fucking wait to put my boots on in the morning. Sure it'll be fantastic.

Took a picture of it buuuut I'll refrain from posting it.
