If listening to "Loveless" from My Bloody Valentine, make sure your volume is low, especially if wearing headphones, you've been warned. My ears will never be the same again, thanks. Wow.

The loudest show I've ever been to (and I've been to metal, noise, and other kinds of loud-oriented shows) was MBV, where you could actually feel the sound almost like a wave against your whole body. So I think Kevin Shields would disagree with this advice. :D

This is why I never went to see them in concert. I love this band but I don't want to damage my hearing.

Love "Machine Gun" from Souvlaki: https://youtu.be/SQ6pHlVKW9w

This is a rather different style than the original, but Múm does an amazing cover of Machine Gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii2wxG647ds

If you like those, and you haven't yet heard Flyying Colours - Wavygravy, it's linked here for you:
