As a metal head, I can ONLY listen to my music loud.

Anyone else going to the concert, look for the four old guys at the back yelling at each other about how loud the music is... that'll be these four.

i defintely listen to music too loud. in the truck, the speakers are always cranked, and with a couple alpine type s 12's, it can get rather loud. the iPod, when i can find it (missing again dammit!) can vary however. some days, loud is good. other days, not so much.

i'm 16 you see, and my hearing definetly isn't what it used to be...of course, living on a farm with ridiculously loud equipment probably isn't a real big help either

I've played in bands for 14 years, many live shows, hard rock stuff and never used earplugs, my hearing is fine. I was tested a few years back and only my left ear was a bit less responsive from also playing drums, snare drum.

Ipods and those little headphones sound like garbage, then take into account that most people are listening to mp3s ripped at substandard bitrates and it's horrible. Terrible way to damage your hearing.

I'm not a fan of earbuds. First off, it's like unravelling spaghetti to use 'em, and secondly they make the inside of my ears all sweaty and itchy.

I got me a pair of bluetooth IMuffs for my iPod that are quite comfortable. A dongle snaps onto the bottom, and the range is quite good. Love 'em.

I listen to music every damn day with big ass stereo headphones. I try not to have them too, too loud, though sometimes a really great track comes on and you just have to crank the volume!!

That's excellent, but you should work on your alphabetizing.

Yeah, I think the last few years I listened to records regularly(seems like a way long time ago now) I didn't care much about accurate filing. I think as long as I hit the right letter I was OK with that.

I'm listening to Teenage Head right now. Frantic City is my favorite album of theirs.

Picked up the CD on the cheap from eBay a few weeks ago. Ripped it to my computer.

Takes me back.

I should hook my record player, if I can find it.

Teenage Beer Drinking Party
Kissing The Carpet

They just don't write 'em like they used to.

Quote:
Often billed as Canada's answer to the Ramones, Teenage Head were in truth just as much a new wave band as they were a punk rock outfit. They had a similar affection for pre-Beatles rock & roll, especially rockabilly, as well as a sense of trashy fun that made them a terrific party band when they were on. Their songs were unpretentious celebrations of all the classic rock & roll staples: cars, booze, girls, partying, and teenage rebellion.

So, I was looking around at other old bands and apparently Goddo is touring again.

Oh Carole, kiss my whip.
