Has anyone already seen this? I'm hoping we can see it in UK cinemas from May when they re-open. Looks good but may be not as many laughs as Spinal Tap. The screenplay is shortlisted for a Best Oscar original screenplay. I'm gonna dive into that and find out more.

Read a review of it on the BBC News app. Sounds relatively serious (i.e. not a comedy or a parody) but I'm only going by the review.
It's on the Amazon Prime menu I notice. Might give it a whirl.

Hearing loss can happen to anyone, I've had mild tinnitus for a number of years now, and it's more annoying in the silence of the night than impeding my hearing but hopefully wont get any worse. I do wonder if it was concerts when I was young. Always got home with ears ringing, and a David Lee Roth concert in 1991 I was front row and the first track, below, was so loud my ears hissed and I went deaf for a few seconds! It was like speakers overloading. Must have done damage.

I did enjoy the film, thought the ending was a bit weak but the acting was very good.
I have often worried about my hearing after playing loud music in my headphones, most days since I was about 11. I nearly always have headphones in when I leave the house, unless I am with someone.
To misquote KISS, I love it loud.

To QUOTE Kiss - I LOVE IT LOUD Kiss in 1992 was another Gig so loud it effed up my hearing!

I remember around 2000 noticing that you could hear people talking at gigs. Even near the front.

Another bloody gig that's a prime suspect! Wasn't a huge fan at the time but a girl I fancied was, so what can you do.

4th Chord, yep, not quite tinnitus but I do notice a white noise sound if I listen for it. I empathise. But wow, those gigs, you went to. Must have been exciting too. Quo were my loudest gigs and I was never down the front. I have been to small venues where you can feel the bass. But never the full blown experience you and other members describe. And for the young, I wonder what a life spent listening with headphones will do for their hearing as they age.

It was like speakers overloading. Must have done damage. You have my sincere sympathy 4th - I'd HATE to have that bloody thing. A good few years back I noticed the same thing after gigs and it annoyed me no end, so from around that time I started wearing those squishy ear plug things. NOT very R'n'R at all and I actually was quite conscious about wearing them - but a few nights of decent sleep after loud gigs soon cured me of giving a sh*t about what anybody else thought about me wearing them!! Wouldn't be without them now tbh! [Btw, a very underrated DLR album that!!]

There should be people designated to walk around with plastic buckets putting one over the head of anybody caught talking while the band is playing.

4th Chord, where was that Metallica gig? The venue I mean. I can't remember them playing here back then. But it was 1988. I still had a perm so I probably wasn't thinking straight. Straight? Get it? Never mind
