do music concerts need to be THAT loud?

I feel like music does need to be loud but does it need to be loud to the point where your ears are ringing?

Furthermore, the bass is just sometimes too bassy. It's at the point where it just gets distorted.
 
The deaf people in the back need to hear...

Solution: wear ear plugs. Not the high quality ones, but the pieces of shit foam ones that distort the sound that cost $.50/pair and block 33 db. The "good" musician ones only filter out 25db I've seen. Otherwise, you probably go deaf. I screwed up my hearing at my first two concerts standing at the front, beside the speakers.

The 3 concerts I've been to since, I've been able to hear everything fine. The bass passes right through...
 
I try not to stand next to the speakers. Anywhere a bit farther back is awesome though. Plus loud music sounds better on alcohol/cocaine/ecstasy/whatever weird crap you might like.

This.

The db level at concerts is going to vary (of course) but for example last Friday I went to Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie...from my seat (about 20 rows from the front) I measured 90db...far less that you would expect IMHO. But I usually wear -25db plugs.

You whip out your phone and test or are you a taper?
 
I actually have tinnitus from years of guitar playing in front of a Marshall stack in bars.

Concerts today aren't nearly as loud as they used to be though.

the loudest show i've been to was the black crowes, they were always loud but this was too damn much. my ears were ringing for 3 days, and i was next to the soundboard.
 
I agree that some shows are just too damn loud. At the same venue I've seen one band with a nice level (still loud enough to feel it in your chest, plenty of bass to shake the floor), and another band at a different date that was so loud that my ears were ringing afterwards even with earplugs worn through the show.

heh I find music at weddings too loud. I guess it comes from not having headphones reduce my hearing during my youth.
 
The loudest concert I've seen to date was Skid Row back in 1990. The sound was so loud my ears rang for two days straight. Lead vocalist Sabastian Bach would scream at the top of his voice, even when he was just talking to the audience. "You fuckers ready to melt this fucking place with rock?!?!?!!?" They definitely had the volume knobs up to 11 that day.
 
The worst part is when it's so loud you can almost feel it altering your heartbeat or some shit. Tone it down please.
