just like i said unless you've seen manowar you are wrong. from the bands bio:
In 1984 the band was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the loudest performance, a record which they have since broken on 2 occasions

Jeff Beck: Rochester Jazz Festival 2010 (Late Show) [best concert i've ever been to as well] Plus, you can't beat the sound there. I am considering retiring from concert going, it was just that good. And i've never seen the Stones!

The John Entwistle Band, playing in a tiny club in 1998. I stood about eight feet from John's massive bass rig, which he dubbed "Little Manhattan" because it resembled several skyscrapers. My ears rang for 72 hours afterwards.
Second place goes to the recently reunited Cactus, whom I saw in the very same club in 2007. So loud it hurt. Ears rang for 48 hours afterwards.
what a dumb thing to do, wear earplugs next time
Okay, dad.
ears ringing mean you just damaged your hearing. its nothing "cool" or "hardcore" about it. would you keep lifting weights so heavy that you tear a muscle everytime? no because you learn.

I heard you the FIRST time, DAD!!! (Can I still use the car tonight??? PLEEEZEEE!!!) And btw, I was TOTALLY cool and hardcore at the Entwistle show. I was standing right under John's mic stand and kept saying shit like "IT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH, SIR JOHN!!!" It was a challenge. Like Jake LaMotta telling Sugar Ray Robinson to "Go ahead, hit me just as hard as you can. You still won't knock me out!" During the "Young Man Blues" encore, John motioned to the roadie to turn up the volume on his amps even more, which he did. Then I caught the roadie's eye, and gestured to him to turn it up EVEN MORE! AND HE DID! People were holding their hands over their ears! We were all nearly rendered unconscious! IT WAS F------ AWESOME, DAD!!!
maybe i am right about hearing? wtf?Quote

How is anyone wrong? The OP wasn't about what is the loudest band ever but what was the loudest concert "you" attended. In that case each poster is "right".
You seem to just want to stir things up with this post and the other trying to tell another not to do that to their ears. Maybe you are right about the ears but doesn't mean you can force it on others whether it hurts them or not.
