[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 67503, member: 970"] Re: Driving stage wedges No one is saying that a heavy metal band should be rehearsing with acoustic guitars and practice pads. What we are saying is that BEFORE adding the racket from a bunch of stage wedges, the band should figure out what they need to do to be able to hear each other on the stage without stage monitors. Typically, the bass player will stand on the side of the drum kit where the high hat is so he can hear it, and if the guitar player puts their guitar amp off to the side of the stage and uses it to wash across the stage instead of out into the audience, then the band can hear that instead of allowing it to destroy the FoH mix. That said, if they are playing so loud that the band thinks that they need to wear ear plugs, perhaps they are playing a bit too loud. I'm certainly not against loud music, but with the technology we have available these days, it is far too easy to be able to turn it up so loud that one exposure will permanently negatively impact your hearing. Let alone doing it over and over and over and over again. It is entirely possible to play with "high energy" without bleeding from the ears. [/QUOTE]
