I wore them for the show because I am not a loving idiot.

Devin Townsend is handing out earplugs at the entrance? That is fitting, LMAO

Its usually worth asking the venue in advance if they can do any accessibility stuff. A mate of mine has trouble standing for long periods of time and when he goes to big shows at concert halls he’s usually able to wrangle a seat with a decent view (like near the soundboard).

I'll definitely have to do that next time for Blind Guardian at the same venue, but we got lucky there was a bar at the back of the 'seating' area that actually had stools so we camped out there the whole time. And yeah I came prepared with the 3M plugs someone was swearing by earlier in the thread.

also thank you for all the cool doom mods over the years, on top of the advice!

I’ve mentioned this before but my pal with one leg does this whenever he can, larger venues are better about it. They usually have people who know the deal about ADA seating and escort him to a good spot like he’s a VIP. The last time we did that they had a woman stick with us from the front door, then she suggested we buy some merch and just waited for us to browse around before taking us up to a great balcony spot.

At the risk of triggering some of you I just want to say that I saw Pantera and Metallica last night and it kicked a lot of rear end. Getting to see Harvester of Sorrow, Leper Messiah and Orion played live was loving awesome and I'm still half drunk from the experience.

Do yourself a favor and buy some cheap reusable ones. The sound quality is much better.

I use some from Etymotic that cost about €15

I don't think it's possible to have a bad time at a Metallica show. I was back of the stadium when I got to see them and it still kicked rear end.

I saw them on the ReLoad tour with Days of the New and Jerry Cantrell (really wish aic could have held it together long enough for them to have done that tour) and it owned hard.

Melodic black, I guess. I tried listening to this while I was doing other stuff but it's just too compelling for that to really work. Check out Follow the River for a sense of what this has:

Probably because they’re USPM, which is basically a trad subgenre and not power metal as its commonly thought of today.
