    Crossfade.

    They were honestly so loud that it made me sick at my stomach. It caused vertigo...and sounded like nothing but a barrage of sheer noise. You couldn't distinguish the instruments from the vocals.

            Saw the Foo Fighters at a small show at the 930 club in DC which I go to all the time. My ears actually rang for a week.. The show was great but the ringing about drove me nuts..

            Grohl was on fire and actually played the drums for a couple of numbers..

              Then..Chris Duarte...at the BLIND PIG in Ann Arbor....

              I started to worry when my ears were ringing a week later...now I just live with it......

                  King's X at Juanita's in Little Rock. You could barely take it at the back of the club and we were up front for most of it.

                    Realised that I didn't post my own loudest band moment.

                    Saw Metallica way back in '97 (only time I've seen em indoors) and they were unbeleivably loud, and yet clear!

                    Sad But True sounded like the apocalypse.

                    Much louder that any other band i've ever seen, but closest to them would be Motorhead, and Judas Priest on thier last tour.

                      The most deafening gig I've ever been to was in Geneva 2 years ago, it was Morbid Angel.
                      Fucking ear grinding machine...
                      The drummer, before and after the concert, looked like an anaemic leek (on heroin according to my pals), but in between, damn! :eek:

                        Dick Dale in a small club. Yeah the surf guitar guy. He was playing through Fender Dual Showmans with huge 15 inch speakers. It made you heart skip beats and armhairs move I'll tell you that.

                          Motorhead at Glasgow Barrowlands in 1991.

                          You could have made a candle out of my earwax after that gig.

                            I am surprised that no-one has mentioned ACDC yet, I reckon they would be really loud indoors (I've only ever seen them outdoors)
