Chippendale's lost some of his hearing and he wears ear plugs and ear muffs. Gibson probably has too. They're gonna need to turn the amps down if they don't wanna lose anymore of their hearing. I like their music and the loud noise, but if they wanna still play, they'll need to turn the amps down.

[xxxxcrownxxxx]

that bass is real loud!!!

[ludwig71]

I love how the bass just tweaks the crappy little mic on the camera.

[voxefex]

FUCK YEAH I saw these guys in San Francisco it was one of the coolest shows I've ever been to. 15 minutes in there's dozens of people flying around without half of their clothes on.

[Waranoa]

Sounds absolutely marvelous, hehe :)

[SULLYEEE475]

How long are the brian's going to be able to perform before they get hearing loss?

[XDevonousX]

They've been wearing earplugs from time to time at least, I believe.

I think Chipp is at least a little deaf already, but I don't remember where I heard or read that.

[edg187]

yes i have "heard" that as well... havent read it tho. when i saw them in santa fe high mayhem last year chippendale was wearing very small custom fit earplugs inside his hood and then the large blue earmuffs over all that... one of the best shows you will ever see... just be sure to bring earplugs

[XDevonousX]

Yeah, I lacked earplugs when I went in May.

Still in recovery.

[isitbpg]

i was at that santa fe show and i know i have mild tinnitus because of it. but really, i'm not at all upset about it. it was one of the most unbelievable experienced i've ever had.

[Ralph85]

haha, lighting bolt: worth getting deaf for :P

[boranboy]

Yeah! I want to see these guys live so bad! Shamefully I live in europe and probably never will see them live...

[Ralph85]

dude, i saw/filmed them twice in the netherlands a few months ago, last week i saw them in paris, where they played a few months ago too and they were in barcalona. Those are just the ones i know of, keep an eye on their tourdates, they tour everywhere, it's sooo awesome :D

[boranboy]

NO WAY! I thought they only toured in USA!!!! My life is complete now XD

[Ralph85]

Brian c told me he's quite deaf at one hear because of the snare (he tends to turn his head a bit to the side). But now he hears different frequencies (low ones i thought) than with his other ear.

the interview is going to be online this summer with footage of the vera gig in groningen (netherlands), occi in amsterdam (als NL) and the villette sonique outdoor show in paris :D

[samonavespa]

the lights are crazy tight

[ddeeaaddbbiirrdd]

I can't even fathom how loud that must be

[senselessstudios]

haha, yeah it was extremely loud; I started feeling like I was going to black out from how loud it was since I was right by some amps when I saw them

[ddeeaaddbbiirrdd]

lol, I'm also amazed that BC doesn't mic his drums at all. I mean, with 1500 watts kicking behind you, you'd think that maybe the drums could use a little help...guess not. I've heard from friends that up close, the drums are nice and loud, but from the back, all you can hear is cymbals.

[Ralph85]

actually that's exactly the reason he stared amping his kickbass. The sound was blocked by the crowd, so now it's amplified.

[CanolaBaldwin]

Amens

[hideousreplica]

lightnnning bolt is so heavy i can't staaan d it

[SUBboy]

FUUUUCK YEEEEAHHHHH!!!

[ItalianCarbine]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I like'em wayyyy much more than DFA...well, now they're gone..hhaha......

[pattnich]

god dammit i love these two! even though i can't hear a word he's saying i love the drummer's style of singing! and brian (bass) dammit some of the stuff he does with that bass is NUTS!

[Ikaruga68]

You don't even need to be able to tell what the drummer is singing guy.

[poopg3]

Lightning Bolt is the FUCKING GREATEST
