And as for "You Made Me Realise" live... as much as I love 'em, there's no way my ears could endure 30 minutes of this. Would have made me slip out for a fag and a slash...

holy shit, this is loud on my laptop at just a volume setting of 52/100... but yeah, I've heard their concerts are extremely loud, I'm just going to enjoy My Bloody Valentine from a distance...

I had earplugs, but they muffled the sound too much. So I took them out. No point in being at a MBV concert and not going home with a tinnitus, am I right?

I did have them in my hands for most of the show, and put them back in at certain points when I thought it was getting dangerously loud. But apart from You Made Me Realise and that finale, I didn't have them in for more than a minute or two. That was the only song that I felt I needed them. I took them out for a bit, but couldn't last half a minute. And even with the earplugs it was still pretty violent. It lasted about 10-15 minutes I think, and yes, it was a bit like an earthquake (seriously, on paper the whole idea sounds like a pretentious thing to do, but really makes sense live). But most of the people around me didn't have them at all, and only maybe two of them seemed in agony and/or holding their ears.

My advice for future MBV concert goers - buy shitty earplugs. You don't want to miss on the experience of possibly the loudest show you will ever attend, but you also don't want to realize midway that you overestimated your tolerance for noise.

Exactly! I thought during You made me realise that it is like an earthquake! And I neither had earplugs except the first 2-3 songs, then I realised I don't need them (I was in the in the first row in front of Bilinda :))

They have pretty much the same reputation here as they appear to have everywhere else, in that they gathered a sort of 'cult following' due to Loveless, many people here have either never heard of them or don't realise they're actually Irish (I've seen them referred to as British as well on occasions, which is understandable I guess).

The festival I'll be seeing them at has them below quite a few acts on the bill, including Arctic Monkeys, Bjork and Fatboy Slim...

So basically, I guess they hold a similar reputation here compared to elsewhere in the world.

😕 Oh, I understand
anyway, thanx for answer

Wowowowowow that was the best show of my life so far 😁

That said, I'm not trying to impress you or anything, do not feel obligated to call me a badass after that, but I had no earplugs. It was the loudest show of my life, but it was not unbearable. Just extremely loud. And the finale of You Made Me Realize WAS an earthquake. The ground was literally shaking.

Yes, anyone going to see MBV needs to take this warning very seriously. I got to see them a few years back in NYC, and was lucky enough to be in the photo pit for a few songs. Even with strong ear plugs it was louder than any other show I'd ever been to. The grand finale of "You Made Me Realize" felt like an earthquake.

Haha OK so I've just bought my place 😁 God I'm so excited now!

I just relistened to m b v, and it was actually much more disappointing that what I remembered. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but not much more. It's very messy, and that doesn't make it more interesting.

I'll be seeing them here in a few months time for the first time, don't think I've looked forward to seeing a band more.

Anyway, to answer the question, currently going with M B V.

By all means do. But don't any chances and have your earplugs ready.
