[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 938417, member: 44"] I figured out about 20 years ago that louder is not always better, and I really love loud music. But I won tickets to see David Lee Roth and Poison years ago. It was really the first time that I found that I didn't care for loud just for the sake of being loud. Poison, not really a good band to start with, opened the show. The singer was awful, but the lead guitarist, a gentleman named C.C. DeVille, was absolutely horrific. His amplifier was set to 11, he was obviously drunk (and high), and he lacked basic skills on the guitar. Couple that with Bret Michaels yelling [b]"C.C.!! Play that guitar!!!"[/b] every 2 minutes. C.C.'s response was to drop down to both knees and lay back on his back, then he rolled around the floor with his left hand as far down the neck of the guitar as he could reach while he continuously plucked on the 6th string of his poor mistreated stratocaster. The sound coming from his guitar would have killed many of the more inexperienced concert goers. But I was a veteran who had been to many AC/DC and Van Halen concerts. I was not going to let him win. But alas, after about the 10th song and C.C.'s 2nd quart of Jack Daniels and his 30th solo, I had to admit defeat. C.C. won that day, but I stayed and stuck it out to the end of the David Lee Roth concert. But, for me, it would never be the same. DLR, in his buttless chaps, really did nothing for me that evening, though I had been a die hard Van Halen fan for most of my formative years. To me, that was the day the music died, much more so than the loss of Buddy Holly, Valens, and the Big Bopper. Even more than when Stevie Ray crashed in the helicopter. It was the loss of innocence. The discovery that bleeding tympanic membranes caused by a no talent hack with a guitar is not worth the agony. While I will still listen to Van Halen and their contemporaries, I would probably pass on going to see them in concert, instead, opting for the musicianship of the Dave Matthews Band or Peter Gabriel. This is a long winded story to say that speakers set to 11 are not good for everyone. Loud crowd noises, yes, I love that. Blaring loud speakers just because you can? I am not a fan of that. Let the crowd generate the majority of the noise. [/QUOTE]
