Old Folks like me — do you still like it LOUD?

[Oeditpus Rex]

On a whim, I put "Frampton Comes Alive" on the turntable (yeah, the turntable), and I've turned it up twice — so far.

Rock 'n' roll was made to be loud. :headbang:

[Cabcere]

1. What's that, sonny?

:P "If it's too loud, you're too old" - right? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. It took me a long time to realize

that all the times my folks yelled "TURN THAT CRAP DOWN!!" it was because all they'd ever listened to was Bing Crosby. :eyes:

[DarkTirade]

25. If that's the case, then I was old before I hit puberty.

I like my music loud enough to hear the details, but that's it. :P

[Cabcere]

26. For me, it depends on what I'm listening to

and/or what my mood is at the time. :shrug: When I'm listening to music through headphones in bed at night, I usually keep it pretty quiet, but if I'm home alone and I wanna rock out, I'm crankin' that sh*t up! :headbang: (Especially if it's The Who, man...hearing John Entwistle's basslines is a good thing, but sometimes I think feeling them is even better! :loveya: I do love me some Thunderfingers.)

[lost-in-nj]

2. I LOVE my music loud

YEAH for the turntable!!!!!!



lost

ps I'm not so old.....

[Haole Girl]

3. .

:yoiks:

[redqueen]

4. Yeah... I know it'll make my hearing worse...

but it just feels SO good to FEEL the music!

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. 'xactly

Bass should be felt in one's bones and internal organs. The highs should resonate with correlative electrical impulses in the brain.

:headbang:

[Jamastiene]

33. And the beat MUST be felt in one's chest to truly experience

the music completely. :yourock:

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Chest?

You do know bass frequencies are engineered to be felt in the groin, no? :D

[Jamastiene]

49. Well, ya know, a little chest action never hurt anyone either.

:P

Groin is a nice place to feel it too, but I usually feel it in my chest first, then the ol' groin kicks in and wants some too. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. ...

Stop that.

:banghead:

[Jamastiene]

51. Sorry, man.

Couldn't help myself. :P

[Perry Logan]

6. I saw Huey Lewis in an ad for hearing aids.

[Blue-Jay]

9. I saw Jon Lovitz in an ad for Subway.

[Rhythm]

7. You know it, sweets...

:headbang:

And i'd still be stage-diving if i could find someone to hold my walker... *L*
j/k

Right now, Type O Negative is rocking the earbuds...

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I switched to 'The Wall'

The "gold master" CD.

Pink Floyd were incredible producers and engineers to begin with. Hearing them on a high-quality CD just brings that out more.

:headbang:

:hug:

[driver8]

43. Bob Ezrin produced that one, if I recall correctly.

That album has some amazing guitar tones throughout -- my favorite being "Run Like Hell."

What a masterpiece that album is.

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. What really gets me is the presence

"The Wall" sounds like they're performing in your house. And a helicopter is landing on your roof. :scared:

[ghostsofgiants]

10. I have these guys blasting right now...

http://www.myspace.com/swords666

Very loud. They're releasing a fancy-ass 12" this weekend, so even us young'ns use turntables sometimes.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Rock on, retro kid!

:headbang:

[livetohike]

13. Definitely! 55 years old and I still play my music loud (especially Hendrix)

I'm sure that accounts for some of the ringing in my ears at night :-).

[SPKrazy]

14. loud was made for rock

or rock was made for loud

:headbang:


:hi:

[LaurenG]

15. How else are we old folks supposed to hear it, oh I mean listen to it. : )

I agree and yes I have scared myself after listening to music on the computer and then turning it off without turning the volume down. That windows jingle comes on suddenly and it's scary when you forget the volume is up so loud.

[graywarrior]

16. Blasting loud. Ear bleeding loud!

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Brain oozing out through your nose loud!

:headbang:

[graywarrior]

20. Head snapping off your neck and hitting the windshield loud!

:nuke:

[XemaSab]

22. Car exploding in a fireball loud!

:o

[ghostsofgiants]

27. METAL.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Then getting sucked out the air vent and bouncing along the highway, causing a 56-car pile-up

loud.









I warn you right now: You ain't gonna win this one. :P

[graywarrior]

39. Rollover a hundred times while still bobbin' and wailin'

[triguy46]

17. Loud-ish. But I rarely turn it up to 11 anymore.

[Cabcere]

36. :)

[tigereye]

19. yeah, my son says "mom you play your music too loud"

but not Frampton. He's what I pitched out the window when I turned punk.

:hide:

[ghostsofgiants]

29. ...

:patriot:

[BarenakedLady]

21. Who are you calling old?

Why I oughta...!

:grr:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. *ahem*

I said, and I quote myself (because no one else will), "Old Folks like me."



Seems to me you're putting yourself in that category. :P

[BarenakedLady]

30. Yeah

I'm getting rather crotchety.

[havocmom]

28. Yes, we do. And now Havocdad wants a dancing cockatoo

Rock and roll never forgets.

[ornotna]

31. Oh hell yes

It's best when played

Old people rock!

[Jamastiene]

32. Hell, I have to turn it up to hear it any more.

I think we are just getting old and deaf, in reality. :P

[KitchenWitch]

34. Hell yeah, it is the only way I can hear it!

Hearing loss from way too many rock concerts right next to the speakers.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

35. krank that baby up!

[martymar64]

37. Losing control of your bowels loud

If it's punk? EVEN LOUDER!!!!

[Steven_S]

38. hell ya, shake the fookin' paint off the walls....

and if the cops ain't yellin at me, it ain't loud enough.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

40. With me it doesn't need to be TOO loud

I use headphones.

[Frustratedlady]

41. I didn't think so, but apparently I must...

My daughter got in my car the other day, turned on the key and about jumped out of her skin. "What is this? Loud jazz? You about blew me out of the car."

I can't imagine it was that loud!

[Bennyboy]

42. If it's too loud....you're too old!

[TheBaldyMan]

45. My hearing-aid goes up to eleven

:headbang:

[Cabcere]

48. nice :)

:headbang: :yourock:

[zabet]

46. I live in the country

and rattle the windows in this old house on a regular
basis!!
