Louder?

I was at the Barrowlands gig last monday, and having seen the manics there before and at edinburgh corn exchange, I thought maybe it could have been a bit louder....well, a lot louder really. I was wondering if the other gigs on the tour so far have been loud as hell or if it's just my gig attendence taking its toll on my hearing.

I think it depends on the venue. Leeds seemed to be louder than Cardiff, although maybe that's because I was permanently deafened at Leeds.

It really depends on the venue... Do they have their own sound guy or not? At the venue I work, some of the sound guys we use when the band don't have their own are notorious for being either too loud or not loud enough.

was at leeds and if it was any louder i would have burst an ear drum.
I could still hear a buzzin 3 days later, although there is nothing worse than a
quiet gig

Where do you get fancy ear plugs from then? I can only ever find cheapo foam ones.

I'd probably worry about losing them too! Will have to invest in some though I think for when the next Manics tour is on the road!

They were fucking loud at Newport last year, seriously loud. That and Barrowlands 2001 were the loudest i've seen them i think. They never come across good at festivals though, always been very quiet everytime i've seen em do any festival. MOVE 2003 wasn't really a festival, that was pretty loud even at the back if i remember correctly. Still the best gig i've seen em do, mostly cos of a completely random set and the angry stage presence.

Edit: Just noticed this thread is two years old. Oh well...
