BTW, my vote?

Tie for loudest band:
1) Sonic Youth in the 80s
2) Slayer

Slayer was just way beyond Too Loud.

Yep. I was there. It was the SXSW show at Austin Music Hall. That's actually where I saw the woman cry and bury her head in her boyfriends chest.

That show was the loudest of theirs I've seen, by far. It felt like I was listening to speakers in a trashcan with my head shoved into the can.

But, man, good show. Glad you saw it!

They certainly aren't the loudest, but I actually saw someone cry at one of their shows they were so loud. (Yes, really.) And, Woland? The only way you'd have seen them in Austin with 5 leads is if Trail of the Dead were on stage with them. They have never played Austin when it wasn't their only, and original lineup.

Chances are, though, we have passed in the night at Emos or Austin Music Hall, or perhaps Casino El Camino..

RIP Max. Thanks for posting this, Choggie.
He had fantastic wrists...

No worries, Blue.
I've been busy at work.

“Hey omnithrope, where are you?
I got itchy and started a philosophy collective...
But don't worry, when you turn gold I'll be happy to turn its leadership over to you.
With your charter account you could probably give it a better chance among the heavyweights.

I'm kinda waiting around for a general Philosophy collective, "Cogito Ergo Sift." Feel free to start an Absurd collective, snipe!

Thanks for all the downvotes, Gorgon!

I see WTF as being: Did that REALLY just happen?
While Absurd as being: What the heck is that thing?
