agreed. this is the reason the band more or less disbabnded. i'm surprised he even came back. wonderful to see that they're playing again. one of the best bands to come out of Boston in my oppinio, along sode the modern lovers..
I wasn't slamming Roger Miller at all, I was applauding him. I'm a musician myself, and I have definitely noticed a loss in my range of hearing over the years. That he endorses hearing safety is cool, that he does it with ginormous rifle range earphones is even cooler!
Do your research. "In 1983, after releasing their only full-length studio record Vs., the group disbanded due to Miller's worsening tinnitus, attributed in large part to their notoriously loud live performances -- during their farewell tour, Miller took to augmenting his usual small foam earplugs with rifle-range earphones onstage."-Wiki
Musicians cant hear the music nearly as good as the audience.. Hence, the speakers are IN FRONT of the scene, and they cant be behind, because that would most likely create feedback.. So, its simple so he can hear the other guys and such..
love this song, amazing band!

What the fuck. Dude has bad hearing. He doesn't want to go totally deaf. So what if he has to wear ear muffs?
