I have a friend in his 40s from Montreal who loves Iron Maiden from his teen years and goes to their concerts when they are within 5hrs and really enjoys them . YOLO and you need to try it once!Realize this is a bit weird to ask, but I've never been to a rock concert, and my first gut reaction is "nope". I can barely make it through sitting a movie theater. My only knowledge of rock concerts comes from music videos, where it looks like people are standing around for the whole time, lots of moving around, shouting, and being very, very loud.
But... opportunity arises to go. Should I? I don't listen to Maiden often, but do like their music. So it could be an interesting experience.
That's the way I feel about Country Music.....No Thanks, just a bunch of loud static.
Yep I was 4th row at a Judas Priest concert. My ears were ringing for hours and hours.Sounds like a strong vote to go. We'll see how it unfolds--there's a bit of a backstory to it, not sure worth explaining.
Definitely bringing earplugs. These days, if I'm not in work clothes, I usually have 'em in a pocket already. My hearing is already wonky enough, I won't be damaging them "for fun" as painfully loud is just painful--and that's not fun. I cringe watching SMA vids and other guys running air tools without earplugs--I can't use my electric impact without plugs.
I was sitting in a 767 departing Santiago, Chile and looking out the window at Ed Force One. Thats when the two engines were damaged with ground equipment. Cool plane. I have a picture, somewhere.Here he is on "the book of souls" Ed Force One:
pleasant looking fellow....
