Loudest live guitar player

[romanianreaper]

I saw ACDC front row on the "Blow Up Your Video" tour in 88' and was so loud. Two years ago took my daughter to see Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Filter and Ministry. Ministry was painfully loud to where we left and walked around the concession area until they were done.

Loudest concert I ever went to was Hall & Oates at the liberty science center overlooking the statue of liberty that was under construction.

5 story tall PA system.

I saw Buddy Guy through a five story tall P.A system in the 90's. Buddy had two tweed bassmans and Holt had two half stack 100w plexis. It was the best concert I've ever seen. There was even leather clad bikers tryna beat the crap out of some aged greaser who was drunk and couldn't keep his pants up. During the show some dude behind me was kicking my legs cause he thought a lawn chair was a reserve seat at a general admission concert while he caught acts on the side stage. He tried to bitch to security about us but they shut him down.

Yep, this checks out with my experiences 100%.

I've only seen ACDC at outdoor venues (The Gorge) and it was certainly loud, but not anywhere near as painful as Motorhead and Manowar. I am willing to bet they were a different animal in an indoor venue.

For me Motörhead as well, late 90's, indoor. It was so loud, I didn't have the high pitched beep in my ears afterwards, but it sounded more like the hissing of a gas leak for days after.
