Really, there's no reason not to use plugs. The amount of damage you can do to your hearing is gigantic. I've seen people in festivals who, despite being next to the speakers, do not wear plugs at all... I can only imagine how messed their hearing must be.

Additionally, if prevention isn't an issue, plugs just make the music sound better. The music at a concert is produced to make sure everyone in the venue /field can hear it; it is not made with the ears of a single human in mind. The result is that you just hear a mishmash of noise (mostly drums) and little else.

Mine are pretty good and I paid about 15 for them. Just look for earplugs made for musicians, not for swimmers or people who want to sleep on a plane (unless you're on your way to a show and forgot to bring a decent pair, in which case they're better than nothing).

drat, that's a better deal than I got. I paid 22 bucks for my etymotics. Still, I'm not gonna quibble over 7 dollars when it comes to my hearing. I'm that guy who often gets up front in the crowd, as close to the band as I can manage (I've taken a few bruised ribs and poo poo but eh, that's metal shows) and as such end up right next to the speakers. I did that poo poo as a kid with no plugs and while I thankfully don't have tinnitus I have noticed a certain low level of nerve deafness, and my friends have noticed it too. Quality earplugs are the reason it hasn't gotten worse.

This doesn't sound like a typical Sneap mix. The vocals and drums definitely dominate the guitar\bass.

Yeah so Anaal Nathrakh was badass. We were pretty much right in front of the stage. I yelled out to Dave oval office and got a 'wot' in reply. Was heavy as balls with strobes and about 5 stage divers at a time. Girlfriend had a good time, although I didn't think to remind her to wear tough shoes as her feet got crushed by big metsl goons a lot. So loving heavy and that guy can come out with some terrifying screams. Good poo poo.

I stayed on the front row at Wacken 2008 for 4 bands in a row so I could see Carcass and At The Gates. When I got back to the campsite I was literally deaf and couldn't talk to anyone for the rest of the night.

Luckily I could still sleep since Wacken is never that quiet at night, but when I got home the tinnitus would keep me awake at night for a few days until it cleared up. Always wear earplugs now but my hearing is definitely hosed up bit from going to gigs and festivals without 'em.

I don't think you notice how unpleasant noises that loud are until you wear decent earplugs to a concert, then take them out while the band is still going. It's physically painful for me now going from a nice earplug volume to barebacking with your eardrums.

Grim Reaper owns but I still can't think of them without the Beavis and Butthead videos.

There's a funny story about Mike Judge meeting Steve Grimmet. Judge was afraid Grimmet would kick his rear end since he would mock Grim Reaper videos savagely on B+B, but it turned out Grimmet gushed about how funny it all was.

It was pretty loving fun. I was only there for Saturday and Sunday, but I had an absolute blast. Angelcorpse, Sacrocurse, Atomic Aggressor, Revenge, Grand Belial's Key, Profanatica, and Morbosidad were all great, but Intolitarian, Void Meditation Cult, and Perdition Temple put on the best sets by far. I'm still pissed about having to miss Sadistic Intent.

drat, Nature Ganganbaikal just can't stop putting new Tengger Cavalry stuff up on Bandcamp. In the last few days he's released "reworked" (and renamed) versions of The Expedition and Ancient Call, and just now a remaster of the older TC album Sunesu Cavalry.

https://tenggercavalry.bandcamp.com/album/sunesu-cavalry-remastered

I'm not exactly sold on the reworks yet, but this Sunesu Cavalry remaster is pretty boss. Some of this stuff is insanely heavy compared to stuff like Ancient Call. Check the title track or Universe & Shaman. God drat that poo poo rips.

Shameless plug for a friends' band, but I wouldn't post it if it weren't able to stand on its own merits. I'd probably describe it as post-thrash/groove. They have a full-length out on 11/30.

The lead guitar player is a pretty big In Flames fan, and it shows.

Reroute to Remain had Cloud Connected on it, but besides that Clayman was the last one of their old sound.

If this had come out 15 years ago it'd definitely be on a Tony Hawk soundtrack. Probably an episode of Jackass or at least a CKY tape.
