I understand that ipods in Europe dont go as loud as the ones we get out here,according to some law.

85 decibels!!!!!

thats really not that loud.
my band practices at around 110 (and yes we do wear earplugs)

if this article is true, that is just pathetic!

 

[jay]

I think 85 is the standard...

Of course, it's good sense to protect your hearing (which reminds me - I need some good earplugs - anyone know where I can get some?), but FFS, does it really need legislation?

Fuck this, I play as loud as I wanna play, rock'n roll!
Sure, with earplugs what good is it to me if I can't hear it? But I wanna FEEEEEEL it!

 

[Benjamin]

Oh yea, and bagpipes are rock'n roll!

Another case of someone thinking they know whats best for the unwashed masses.(the unwashed masses part is a joke) :lol:

Electric bagpipes with volume controls?

Hmm... But can't you change this in itunes? Increase volume on selected track på 150%? I don't know.... doesn't really matter anyway since the're lod enough

Sucks for the musicians affected, but you have to love an article that mentions Verdi, Wagner, The Who, and Motorhead.

I'm not sure if you can... But I don't listen to mine too loud... I get enough ear damage from playing music!
