Ever since I turned 21, In the last two-year's span of time I have seen the Melvin's (twice), Electric Wizard, Sleep (3 times), Saint Vitus (twice), High on Fire, Weedeater, Eyehategod (twice), Boris/Earth, Conan, The Oh Sees, and a few others, and each of these bands work to build colossal tones through monster amplifiers. Each show I go to I stand right in front of the stage with no earplugs.
I usually go for within arm's reach of the musicians when possible to see them sweat and study their playing, and then when I've had a fair amount of watching the people who inspire me, I back up a little and have fun with the people in the crowd moving all around.
After every show my ears just ring for a day and it's difficult to hear minute sounds. My hearing has degraded to the point where I can't hear people who speak quietly, unless under optimum acoustic conditions. I'm still far from being deaf, and my ears ring less and less with each show.
I'm fine with having to yell "WHAT" all the time at my coworkers at the warehouse for the experience of driving to shows I like.

I'm guessing you saw Sleep 3 times because they are that good live? Seeing them in may and I'm excited like fuck.

Assuming this isn't pasta, you're a fucking idiot.

I use these earplugs and have few complaints. They don't muffle the sound but only reduce them if they sit right.

Many of their classics they do now have modified rhythms and solos since they've been playing them for so long, pretty neat, crowd turnout is always crazy.

I'm seeing them at primavera, hope the crowd there is good, don't know how popular they are in Europe.

Nah, I took like 5 minutes to type all that. Maybe I'm an idiot, yeah.
