Guitar player damaged my hearing
 

I had to leave my band practice early last week after enduring never ending solo's and mic's Squeeling...My right ear still feels messed up and I have an appointment for a specialist. I'm trying out for another band in the New year (I feel like a whore). I keep wondering how most people set up there equipment in small rooms because this was really hard to hear with a drummer and two squeeling guitarists and me in a small basement, really loud :eek

what fucking band are you in, slayer?

I don't think we have a name or I wasn't told what it was...I should think of names for the next band I'm in before I quit.

Oh man, someone should start a thread in the photoshop section with Fartin Mowler super-imposed in a band photo..........

do any of these bands you play in play out? or are they like my ex's "band," a bunch of guys who get together once a week to drink and smoke pot and make a lot of noise?

Get some good earplugs dingus. >:

:( again you are right...I don't smoke pot but wanker solo guy does. O : I'm going to start wearing earplugs.

Im guessing alot of it was thanks to guitar feedback?

very cheap guitar amp that has a blown speaker fixed with red construction tape and mic feedback...A nice fender 90 watt guitar amp at the local music store is $250

lean your bass pickups first up against your amp in the middle of the solo and go get some ice water

(a flanger/phaser or somthing would help, and turning the volume up really loud)
