lol...

Is it the hair? I've always not liked this one because of that.

It would be really entertaining. Ok a picture (I found this is in the depths of my pictures folder ):

Headmaster thread part 2????

Post some

I know, it was the first weekend that I had moved off to university, perfect timing. Thanks for those pics haven't seen em before! Oh and Kids in the Hall is great.

Thanks Moonmaid et al...... that movie premiered in my city but I couldn't make it.... it better be coming out on DVD soon !

What's this from?

Yeah, that stuff is great. But overall I'd say that Paul's career in The Beatles had less questionable moments than his solo one.

I didn't make it (sadly I haven't figured out how to go back in time and be born 30 years earlier yet), I just quoted from the link that Sam posted.

"I made Jimmy Page a jacket and took it to the Forum and gave it to the General Manager. I made a black jacket because he usually wore black. This year he switched to white. I attached a letter stating that I had tickets for the 6/23 show. The concert was fantastic and I really enjoyed the show. When they came out for the encore Jimmy Page had my black jacket on! He walked all around the stage and turned around to show off the back. I almost fainted and my group of friends went crazy, I was a celebrity in my group of friends. I will never forget that moment as long as I live. Just to think that he would do that was awesome. To this day when I tell people about it they are amazed also." That is really cool!

I can't stop listening to "Quiet Please" by Galactic!

^ I agree with that. I just sometimes don't agree with their definition of 'talent.'

:mellow: :mellow:

I've also heard that Government Mule is EXTREMELY loud. My friend said that when he went to see them, he was standing at the back with toilet paper stuffed in his ear and it was still just painfully loud!... I think he actually said he had to leave. And, those guys only play songs that are 25 minutes long each, so its not like you could get a break from the noise very often.

Yeah I read that Deep Purple performed at 117 dB... and apparently My Bloody Valentine (I don't really know who they are, a recent My Chemical Romance type band I think?) just set some sort of record also.

Damage from loud concerts is not something you necessarily notice right away... besides maybe temporary ringing in your ears once in awhile, or whatever. I'd say its good to wear earplugs at concerts when you know its loud, even if you don't feel like its uncomfortably loud. Its just that most of the time the damage occurs over a long period of time and before you really take notice, its too late.

Thank you!! I actually ended up switching to The Who... they broke the record with 120 db in 1976. But 129, that is so fucking loud. Which concert was it? I also stumbled across a piece of info about the band Manowar playing at 126 db, but I didn't see anything about the 129 one. Doing all this research about how music can damage your ears is scaring me.. I already have ringing in my ears sometimes and I'm only 18! I don't plan on stopping going to concerts though so (unless I get ear plugs) I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Sorry to hear about your hearing difficulty (tinnitus?), that must be really annoying. Thanks for your input.

Hi all you tech-geeks... Does anyone here know approximately, in decibels, how loud Led Zeppelin concerts were? Or who could direct me to any web sources that would give me such info? I'm doing a psychology project on the loudness of concerts and how they can damage your ears, and I have to compare two bands, e.g. Led Zeppelin (LOUD!!) and Simon & Garfunkel (Not so much!). Its due tomorrow, so this is very last minute... I tried doing a search of the forum but the search function doesn't like me very much and keeps giving me error messages... anyway, any help would be MUCH appreciated!! -N

I like Leno! Although I'd take Letterman or Conan over him probably.

I can take Leno poking fun at Robert but Howard Stern is just a douche.

Agreed. Can't say I'm a huge fan of Kansas though. But do love Dust in the Wind and Carry On!

Was he making a serious attempt to wink? Oh Jimmy.
