[Demonspell]

Well, if that list isn't bloody ridiculous...

well, a lot of stuff is left out because it's part of a larger top 100 list which was posted elsewhere on UM days ago...

#100 is stupid.

they even had manowar setting the world record for loudness as one of the ones last night.

and honestly it is completely true. i saw manowar once and i think i got permanent hearing damage.

Greg, one can get hearing damage from listening to enya on your headphones excessively loud.

as with any list like that, there's some good stuff and some crap. it's the way it goes.

i mean i was mostly exagerrating but seriously when i saw manowar in concert, joey demaio took a bass solo and his bass was SO loud that i literally couldn't stand as close as i was because i could feel it destroying my ears very quickly so i had to go to the back of the club where it was safer.
