don't ya just love it :D

*is listening to hole in the sky by sabbath (covered by machine head :))*
Yep :)
Some music was designed to be played at 11 (volume, not time). I just wish my neighbours would realise that.

don't ya just love it :DNo.

don't ya just love it :D

*is listening to hole in the sky by sabbath (covered by machine head :))*

Yes, yes I do.

**is listening to Family Tree by Megadeth, at volume 26 (0 is loudest, 100 is quietest. Don't ask)**

Yep :)

i just got told to turn it down :(

boo!! philistines! :mad:


(yay for megadeth!! :))

(yay for megadeth!! :))
I'm currently listening to Sigur Rós, which I find is better at quieter volumes, so I'm not having that problem right now. They asked me to turn down System of a Down earlier. Grrrrr....

*is listening to and tabbing Husker Du's "Some Kind of Fun"*

FUCK yeah, man. Loud music rocks, especially if it's the kind that's written to be heard loud.

Hell yeah dude! Loud music is the shit. Got "Fuel The Fire" by Unearth blarin'. Followed up in the playlist by..... "Lost In Time" by Throwdown.

train of concequences by megadeth.... all quiet :(

god this album brings back memories of sunny days, simpler times, good friends, good laughs, and unreal tournament (orginal... used to play it with this album on repeat ;)) :( :)


a tout le monde brings back less pleasant memories :(

Not in this mood

*is relaxing to the mellowness that is "I don't like mondays"*

i just got told to turn it down :(

That sucks:(

That's why i love my stereo. "But look, the volume number is getting lower. I must be turning it down."


(yay for megadeth!! :))

Indeed (could I have picked a worse way to agree to that?)

That's why i love my stereo. "But look, the volume number is getting lower. I must be turning it down."
lol whoever tells you to turn it down must be pretty stupid (or deaf) to believe that :p :p


(and nothing wrong with "indeed"... i use it all the time. bah!)

*comes across thread doing Axl Rose dance*

lol whoever tells you to turn it down must be pretty stupid (or deaf) to believe that :p :p


(and nothing wrong with "indeed"... i use it all the time. bah!)

stupid, deaf or scared of the large, angry-looking person and his loud, angry music;)

And I know there's nothing wrong with indeed. I just thought "FUCK YEAH!!" might have been a better response:p

Some loud music is good (such as Rammstein), and when it's supposed to be played loudly it's good. However, if it's not supposed to be played loudly 'tis not good, alot of music that's supposed to be played loud pretty much sucks. Also, there is such as thing as TOO loud (you try listenening to Amerika on full blast on your iPod with those little nub things in your ear; if you don't feel that's either painful or just too insanely loud you are deaf.)

lol! :p:p

I have a live Blue Oyster Cult album and I'm not afraid to rock out.

Got Megadeth blastin' now, "Kill The King". :cool:

Some metal bands that are in the line up: Unearth, Throwdown, Megadeth, Mudvayne, Slayer, Iced Earth, and Disturbed.

Songs about double murder and multiple woundings are now considered as 'mellowness'? I must have missed that memo.

Loud music pwns.

i love to drive around with the windows down and the music blasting. i also like seeing peoples reactions. when i pull up next to someone ive gotten responses like, "turn it up" to people rolling their windows up :p

*Disturbin the peace with The Notorious BIG's classic LP "Ready to Die"*

depends what you're playing i guess :p

like i listen to drum n bass pretty loud when i'm driving, and when i have the windows down people probably think there's some kind of aggressive chav in a shitty shitmobile with a badly fitted bodykit about to pull up next to them and race them off the lights... only to be suprised to see its a nice clean, black corsa being driven by some longhaired hippie :p :D

The summer I learned to drive a bunch of my cousins and I were driving around together in my dad's car, and we pulled up at a red light next to some punk kid around our age blaring some "music" very loudly and head-bashing to it. We had on Mozart. We turned up our radio full blast, which was a good bit louder than his full blast since my dad likes to play his classical music and opera full blast and had an expensive loud radio, and we started head bashing to Mozart. For some reason he looked at us like we were absolutely nuts, turned his radio down, and drove off as fast as he could when the light changed.

I like loud music, but just not loud enough for it to hurt my ears. And my ears aren't damaged from too much loud music, so that's a lot easier than it is for most people.

"Fuck you, I won't do what ya tell me!"

Nightwish on full volume is awesome! :D Too bad most people don't realise my need to listen to music at 2 AM :p :rolleyes:

Mozart would be proud :D

yes. listening to all chrome at the moment. not necessarily a loud band, but awesome nontheless.

my musical library includes almost exclusively loud stuff ahaha

Hell yes. *blares Bad Brains at you*

:upyours: Rage. Against. The. Machine.

"Fuck you, I won't do what ya tell me!"

Yay!

I'm listening to Blackend by Metallica on my crappy computer speakers. I live in a town house so I can't play it to loud. However, in my car, my seats vibrate like I'm in a Mercades.

Prison song by System Of A Down just came on.

I suppose it depends on the music. One person's loud music is another person's police tactic to break up sit-in protests.

Loud music is the best sometimes. I'm currently enjoying it right now.

[listening to "Freezing Moon" by Mayhem, from the Dawn of the Black Hearts CD

Protesters: "We're not leaving until our demands are met!"
Police: "Then you leave us no choice!"

Me: "Awesome!" *moshes*

I hate when someone pulls up to a light with base blaring. It triggers migraine headaches, and I spend the next few hours downing pain killers which don't work. :headbang:

In college all of my neighbors knew to give me half an hour warning before playing loud music so I could prevent my headaches with meds.

bah, i'm the opposite. quietness means i can hear the ringing in my ears, which ends up hurting and driving me nuts sometimes. loud music is required... i have a note from the doctor ;) :D

you'd make an awful revolutionary :D ;)

Certainly not. I'm the one that endears the movement to the people.

"Sign up for the coup! Free beer and loud music from nine onwards!"

ive got to say that i find that song to be very... childish.

and yes, music is good when played loud.

It's not "FUCK YOU I WONT CLEAN MY ROOM"

"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"

"You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites"

It's a protest against the mob mentality that gives groups like the KKK their power. "Fuck no, I won't do what you tell me" = "I'm not going along with this mob".

I once moshed to that song in my living room with my brother, we were over-active:p

ok thats how it was written (thanks for the explanation), but i dont think thats how the majority of the metallists take it when they dance to it. they take it as 'FUCK YOU I WONT CLEAN MY ROOM'.

I hate to sound like a music Nazi (not really, of course), but you have no idea how good it was to read that after the comments about people listening to "Metal" bands like Disturbed and fucking Mudvayne. At the moment I've got Akercocke's "Words that go unspoken, Deeds that go undone", and am ready with De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas to follow it up. Metal should be loud, but I'd rather listen to someone quieter like Nick Cave or Johnny Cash than loud I-won't-tidy-my-bedroom kiddy music. Death to False Metal.

:p

I once went to an anti-fascist protest which ended in riots.
They were playing Rage against the machine: Know your enemy
That was awesome

If I listened to music solely on the basis of how other people perceive it, my collection would be pretty shallow. In fact, I probably never would have got into music, seeing as RATM was the first band that made me "wow".

Though...I have two friends who like me are huge RATM fans, and that's how they also interpret the song (we've discussed it before :p). I don't think it's a viewpoint shared by most fans; casual radio listeners and wannabe-metalhead-teenie-boppers, maybe.

Nevertheless, I think i've defeated your accusation of it being childish :p

Yeah, I have an experience like that. Except it was "Ashes in the Fall". :p

Sigur Ros is actually great at high volume. You find textures in there that you may miss at low volume because they're subtle.

When I was a DJ on the radio I would crank my booth speakers when I played Sigur Ros.

Yeah sure, and when have you ever heard electronic music at 130dB?

For some reason...this thread reminded me of a song I used to love (more live than on cd)...

MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES

"Awfully Quiet"

I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am.
I like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam.
I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'.
I like ragin', rampagin', and screamin' and yellin'.
Sound of a fire engine headed for a fire,
Emotions so high they can't get any higher.
Goin' out of control in an outta-hand crowd.
I like noise and it's gotta be loud.
Awfully quiet on the streets yesterday.
People on the streets had little to say.
I walked the streets and barely heard a sound.
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright.
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.
Awfully quiet on the trains last night.
People on the trains kept the conversation light.
I rode the trains and barely heard a word,
Quietest train I ever heard
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright.
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise.
I got on the phone called up the boys.
I was jonesing so bad, I could barely hack it.
They came to the house and kicked up a racket.
They turned my place on its ear, the boys began to riot.
It felt so good to hear on a day that was so quiet.
I screamed and cheered them on,
And helped out where I could.
And when they all were gone, I was feeling good.

Damn. Fucking. Right.

errr, Yeah.

In my halls, one of my mates lives above this girl (who is into R&B an all that), and another below - They both have HUGE subs. She gets Whole Lotta Love from all sides at like 3am. How we laugh.electronic pop no less :S

damnit this is reminding me i'm missing a Prodigy gig down the road this friday :( :(
Unlucky dude. My mate is stewarding at Faithless. The git.

:p

You equal double coolness!

And the loud music continues! Had a snow day today, so I had the house to myself with a few friends. The day sure flies when you have "Bodies" by Drowning Pool blaring and eight dudes shouting the lyrics out as loud as they can.

Have Anti-Flag's "Culture Revolution" blasting now. Always a good choice, especially when it's cranked up so loud the stereo's speakers start making weird buzzing sounds. :D

Now playing Tygers of Pan Tang at volume 22.

It's looooonely at the top
It's a long long lonely drop
And I feel I'm slipping daaaaaahn!!

actually i just found out the prodigy gig was last night, and that it was the best gig my mate had ever been to. its not fair cos i could have gone! :headbang: *cries*

but don't remind me about halls of residence... i had a rnb twat living next to me (in my flat) and he bought a new speaker system (with obligatory massive bass) just as it was coming up to exam time :headbang:
and then i had a amateur DJ living above me all year. used to throw things at his windows (when drunk) and bang the cieling a lot. i hated other students :p
house was waaaay better... even got my mates' drum kit up for a while :)

Yay! Emma Goldman and RATM love! *throws flowers... or something...*

Right now it's Nile's album "In Their Darkened Shrines" playing loud. I live in a townhouse and I don't care. When I'm down at uni and live in a 1-bedder I have to play music loud, to drown out the shit the neighbours play. :D

I hate the following types of music played at 100+db:

Hard rock
Soft rock
Medium rock
Metal
Light metal
Heavy metal
Pop and all variants thereof
Hip-hop and all variants thereof
R&B and all variants thereof
Anything with a heavy bass
Anything with a heavy drum part
Anything with an overdrive guitar
Anything with a guitar
Anything
Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima

I'm fine with everything else, however.

Gods yeah, my entire flat is into R&B, except for one guy, who likes playing Disney's Greatest Hits at full volume. Then singing along - we do wonder sometimes.

Mayhem's new album is going to have the same vocalist (Attila) as on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. Yes.

My favorite band by far is Emperor, though. I've been listening to Gorgoroth quite a bit lately.

I also cannot stand most "nu-metal" because it's so damn whiny. System of a Down I can take, though.

Ever heard of Naglfar?

Gods yeah, my entire flat is into R&B, except for one guy, who likes playing Disney's Greatest Hits at full volume. Then singing along - we do wonder sometimes.
Lol. I had a flatmate who used to sing along with stuff like Delta Goodrem or Christina Aguilera. Early in the morning. While I was up all night playing metal. Twas not a happy flatting.

See, I'm usually the annoying music one on my hall, with my alternately blasting black metal and classical music from the Romantic period.

If it's not loud then there's no point.

Unless it's soft music.
