Good advice for pretty much any show. There's many things I wish I could tell my younger self but I'd probably start off with "Hey, constant tinnitus is really fucking terrible"

Yeah I wear them for all shows now. But nobody is as loud as J with his wall of Marshal amps!

Blew out right eardrum at a Helmet show. I've seen at least 10K shows, but that's only happened once.

The Ramones were the loudest I've seen, I think. It's hard to know for sure because that was in February of 1996 and I've had constant tinnitus since then that has never faded for so much as a minute.
