J Mascis likes to play loud. when I saw them hre last month I was screaming along to every song at the top of my lungs and I could not hear myself for shit!!!!
here is a snippet from an interview with MURPH
Q - How do you keep from going deaf?
A - We wear earplugs. But Lou and I were actually talking about that last night after the show -- how like, people were complaining and we've been complaining of like, weird bodily symptoms [from the volume].
Q - What kind of symptoms? A - While I'm playing, my hand will go numb -- like, literally, I'll get pins and needles. Or your heart flutters while you're playing. It's the low frequencies. Those are the ones that can really get you. I think over the years since we've been playing so loud, we're addicted to the volume -- the assault. Even though it's, like, weird -- you get weird side effects -- it just doesn't feel right if it's not that loud.
