Finnbear Opti had it..ManOWar is in the Guiness book of world records as the loudest band. 130 some db I believe. One time in the studio a client said "can we listen to playback at ManOWar level" and it stuck as a joke every time we cranked up the mains!

So true it is critical to protect your hearing if you value it! In the old days it was`nt thought of much but no excuses these days. I record and produce and always have earplugs handy at live shows and in the studio when you can get away with them. And I have no clue what all these poeple nowadays are thinking cranking bass in thier cars at pain threshold levels. In 10 years they will need it turned up that high. And EQ was made for tailoring a system to a room not to loosen bolts on your undercarriage! Can you say "Sounds like mud"!
