RiverIsis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Loud and dynamic are two different things. I think your referring to the music being highly compressed, so all of it is loud. The show/band sounded awesome, and you could definatley hear the dynamics/nuances. I really want to see TCV, glad to know that you can hear the dynamics/nuances. So I will remember that I NEED earplugs if I ever get lucky enough to catch them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluginbelfast Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was at a disco for Rainbow Guides and Brownies on Monday evening and, as I told everyone, it was louder than a MUSE gig :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahkmed Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'm planning on being at the barrier in Phoenix. Is the sound any different at the barrier? My friend told me that if you're at the barrier the sound is not good and it starts to sound staticy and what not. Has anyone experienced this?

Dominic. Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 how much are some decent earplugs then, anyone recommend some? Also,on my ipod, I rarely turn the volume above half way for like the last year and a half, I've been to 4 gigs (muse at wembley but right at the back, green day in seating, and paramore twice, once at the barrier) yet my hearing is kinda crap :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound can be pretty dodgy at the barrier, but the same is true wherever you are - possibly barring right by the sound desk. Some venues are just a box and have horrible acoustics.

Discoprincess32 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I specifically remember during the Teighnmouth fiasco with the sound thing that Chris had stated that they are generally at 120dB but have topped out (Stockholme Syndrome end riff) at 160 sometimes. When my son left the concert on '06 from a 2900 seater venue, he was complaining of his ears hurting. When I saw them in a 5500 seat arena the bass was so loud that my pants and hair was shaking because of it. If that helps you guage the dB and sound! We thought it was very loud, but very clear, not overbearing like the opening band was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been at the barrier several times for different gigs and I have never had issues with sounds, especially not Muse. Franz Fernidand on the other hand, the 10 minute closing to Lucid Dreams left me twice with ringing ears for a day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicePockets Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 when i saw them it wasn't as deafening as i expected, but that's probably cos it was bdo and i'd spent all day watching stuff including magic dirt, who definitely WERE deafening... it was more... i dunno... incapacitating than deafening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem right that the sound would be dodgy just at the barrier. As someone else said...it's like that everywhere sometimes. I still definitely want to be on the barrier. I'll bring ear plugs just in case.. Usually my ears are good but I'm afriad I'm going to walk out deaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattXXI Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It's loud enough to leave a buzzing noise in your ears for a couple hours. It's an amazing feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend told me that if you're at the barrier the sound is not good and it starts to sound staticy and what not. Has anyone experienced this? Yeah. It's always worse at the barrier due to you getting the off-axis response of the speakers and possibly phase issues and all sorts of stuff. You'll hear what's going on, but you won't get the detail, clarity and full bass you get further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was front row the sound quality was no where near as good as when I was further back (the few times that i've been further back were all better sound)...

We thought it was very loud, but very clear, not overbearing like the opening band was. 160 dB? Surely not. Concorde on take off at the back of the engines was 140 dB. Earls Court 2004 on the second night was loud enough at the front that when it ended, I remember pitching forward, so say 120 dB. Thanks to concert earplugs, I can still hear myself think. Testing the hifi with a new set-up tonight, it was 106 dB at 1 metre from the speakers, 95 dB at 3 metres, and that was nicely loud (we have a detached house), but not concert levels. At Teignmouth, you could hear someone talking next to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza12 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 They're loud enough so you can sing along really loud without being able to hear yourself, and certainly you can't hear anyone else. It's ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanks02 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Anyone have a good recommendation for some earplugs? I have really sensitive ears and will get ringing in my ears for a good 3-4 days after concerts so I need to pick some up for Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used em yet but they're supposed to be really good. He does computer work for a place where the machines are UBER loud..they all are required to wear earplugs so I'm guessing these are hardcore earplugs. They're the kind that are soft and you roll them up to a point and stick em in your ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fellow boardie recommended these to me - Alpine MusicSafe Pro Natural Sound Ear Plugs. Just got my set in the mail today... gonna give them a test run at SXSW in a few weeks! http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/alnasoearpl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
