You are both correct. The Who is the loudest "on record" but Man-O-War actually did top it......here is an excerpt from link: But loud music is no big deal, right? Wrong. A typical rock concert ranges from between 110 to a staggering 125 decibels (the loudest on record is The Who, at 126 - special thanks to Ward of the Highdive for having me double check my sources. Another editor's note: Man-O-War claims to have reached 129.5 in 1994 and says Guinness refused to list it because they didn't want to encourage people to try and break it -- a quick check of the Guinness website confirms they have no listing for loudest rock concert). Damage starts slowly at 85, and rapidly increases as sound levels go up. It takes only two hours of exposure in a day at 100 decibels to do permanent damage to a person's hearing. Just my 2 cents worth http://www.openingbands.com/features/?forceissue=2002-04-15 Apr 11 06, 12:15 PM
