Also, RATM at Roseland Ballroom in '99 counts as the most intense show I've attended. Loud, heavy and exhausting.

Way louder than Dinosaur Jr, Mogwai, etc. the times I saw them.
I couldn't hear my own voice for 2 days.

"These guys aren't so loud!"
"What?"
"I said, THESE GUYS AREN'T SO LOUD."
"WHAT?"
"NEVER MIND."
Also Peter Brotzmann. Holy SHIT.

i remember the SCARIEST loud noise i ever heard at a show. it was gwar in a small club in 1989 and they let off some pyro explosion that should NEVER have been let off in a club that small. scared the living hell out of me. a very loud exlosion going off 10 feet from your face will do that though.

The Camaros broke up, and their guitarist is in Bionic now, but I doubt they sound as loud as that show I saw.
Rammer's still around, probably just as loud.

Let me second this. Saw the same show. It hurt so good.

I imagine their volume levels were somewhat tame by today's standards.

The Who in 1975 were pretting f'in loud too, I was in the very back of Riverfront Coliseum where the sounds rezound off the ceiling.
Saw John Cale's Sabotage tour myself, which I remember as a great show but not super-loud though he did have a "metal" gtrist IIRC.
