someone will be wearing a black shirt

you're probably right

some fucking moron sitting right by an amp and destroying their ears

i believe sunn make sure the frequencies at the show aren't damaging but absolutely bring some good earplugs

I have the foam kind, the one you knead before you put it in your ear. Think I'll be good?

it's common sense to bring earplugs to any concert that isn't pop or hip-hop

poooosy

fag

>i believe sunn make sure the frequencies at the show aren't damaging
dont be a jackass

A considerable dearth of chords per song

Also protect ears

I went to a Sunn show last year and was in the front row and I didn't wear earplugs at all. Most of their sound is just bass. I didn't have ANY ringing in my ears the day after.

I was at the Toronto show yesterday and used foam earplugs. My ears only rang for about an hour afterwards.

fire alarm will probably go off from what I've heard, they love their smoke machines

This. It went off during the performance, but you could only see the fire alarm lights flashing. The alarm itself was completely drowned out.

If you show up early enough I guarantee you'll get the chance to meet Attila. Every show of his I go to, no matter which band he's touring in, he always just walks right out front of the building and chills out with the fans, or walks to his bus and lets everybody shake his hand and get a photo if they want. I was lucky enough to be able to chat with him the first time I saw him for a good 10 minutes, the second time I met him he was walking past everybody and hanging out.

Just saw them in dc, can confirm 0 ringing. have had serious ringing from the same venue in the past.

I forgot I was on Sup Forums and thought this thread was about a cult.

It is about a cult, right?

They put on such a show, they're very theatrical with their "sound-worshipping druids" act but it never feels cheesy or stupid. They'll flood the place with smoke, play some skull-crushing drone (the studio albums don't even begin to compare, it's a visceral experience), then Attila will do some spooky chanting (and I won't ruin the last part but it's very cool).
You know the comic where a guy puts on Black One and starts staring into space drooling? That's what it's like.
Bring earplugs but you probably won't need them. It's not loud in a "this hurts my ears" way, it's loud in that it feels like your bones are liquefying.
Big Brave are pretty good too, I assume that's who they're touring with.

I actually saw Big Brave open up for Goatsnake. They've got a pretty good sound

Yeah, they reminded me of Swans playing doom metal. Only problem was that they would get into a nice groove then the song would be over. Too much building up that didn't go anywhere.

every artist that has some kind of following is a cult

Big|Brave is very good. It helps to listen to their most recent album before seeing them

You think I'm being vague you fuckin' wiseguy? You know what I meant.

do people actually wear earplugs to concerts?
wtf?

hol up we dem BOYS

People like to preserve their hearing

what's the point of even going to a concert at that point?
why not just watch live youtube videos at 50% volume faggot?

1/10 b8, go fuck yourself

you'll learn when you turn 16

t. old man who ears giant earmuffs to metal concerts

Why are you people assaulting this poster? I agree in his confusion, why wear them? Gun ranges I understand, but when you go somewhere to hear things, nigga.

t. retard

You better be wearing a robe, OP.

Smart
Fags

>Take care of your hearing losers.

What does "t." mean and if you have something against it, explain it. Calling people tards sheds no insight and makes no one a better person.

I was at the same show, used rubber ones and had no ringing

Why do mealfags do that thing where they tense their arms up slightly to make their shoulders look broader.
Are they trying to seem tough or intimidating? It just makes me laff

>My ears only rang for about an hour afterwards
That's still permanent damage that will accumulate over the decades and fuck you when your older.

>I didn't have ANY ringing in my ears the day after.
Doesn't matter, if you're listening to that level of noise for an extended period of time, you're getting fucked, even if you don't notice it yet.

i went to a Dinosaur Jr concert once and didn't bring ear plugs

ended up right next to J Mascis' setup and permanently lost some hearing in my left ear.

worth it though

poooosy

You're fucking your eyesight by staring at a computer screen.
You're fucking your body by sitting here rotting and degenerating your muscles.
You're fucking up your immortality by believing bad things happen to people.

>You're fucking your eyesight by staring at a computer screen.
>You're fucking your body by sitting here rotting and degenerating your muscles.
This is true, what's your point?

He just wanted a reason to feel good about his retarded post. Seriously though regular concerts are at least 120 dB and that is technically the threshold of pain (and major damage) . And I'm guessing a sunn concert is quite a bit louder.

My point is no matter what you do, you get fucked. Always. Perhaps in the smallest amount, but fuckings add up. Enjoy music while you're alive. What are you saving your ear juice for anyway? Gotta have them pristine loops for the coffin? Sheeeiiiit.

Don't assume shit about other people, you don't know me. Why don't you go to a concert and test this yourself, it will save us from being forced to read your shitty comments while you have a cast wrapped around your head.

Jokes on you fag I actually work at an outdoor Pavillion. And I wear earplugs every day at work (they actually have to hand them out to comply with OSHA) . I learned after this first week of my ears ringing from standing in the pit area that it was pretty necessary. I know what I'm saying dude.

Did I ask about your life? Now I know about your life. Joke's on you fag you're getting raped. IN THE EARS.

Well well what has happened to this thread

Nothing. 'Fuck happened to you?

I fell asleep. Thanks for the tips though guys. I'm pretty excited

...

Be careful with that excitement, wouldn't want to spend up your life energy quicker!
